SECTION 2

MAKING OF THE LOAN

§ 2.1       The Loan.  (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make the Initial Advance to Borrowers pro rata based on its Commitment Percentage.

(b)           Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Borrowers may request additional Advances of the Loan; provided, however, that except as otherwise provided in § 2.11, (i) if requested, the full amount of the Loan must be advanced no later than May 31, 2014 (such 120 day period, the “Delayed Draw Period”), (ii) Borrowers shall not be entitled to more than one such Advance and (iii) Borrowers shall be entitled to request an Advance in connection with the effectiveness of each Commitment Increase provided pursuant to § 2.11 and such Advances shall be disregarded for purposes of the one Advance limit referenced in clause (ii) above.  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, including that Borrowers have satisfied all applicable conditions to any such subsequent Advance, each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make such Advance to Borrowers pro rata based on its Commitment Percentage.  Once repaid, any principal amount of the Loan may not be reborrowed.  Any unfunded Commitments of the Lenders existing as of the close of business on the last day of the Delayed Draw Period shall terminate and shall not be available to be drawn thereafter.

§ 2.2       [Intentionally Omitted].

§ 2.3       [Intentionally Omitted].

§ 2.4       [Intentionally Omitted].

§ 2.5       [Intentionally Omitted].

§ 2.6       Interest.

(a)           Each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the date on which such Base Rate Advance is repaid or converted to a LIBOR Rate Advance at the rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Advances.

(b)           Each LIBOR Rate Advance shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of each Interest Period with respect thereto at the rate per annum equal to the sum of LIBOR determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Rate Advances.

(c)           Borrowers promise to pay interest on each Advance in arrears on each applicable Interest Payment Date with respect thereto.

22

(d)           Base Rate Advances and LIBOR Rate Advances may be converted to Advances of the other Type as provided in § 4.1.

(e)           [Intentionally Omitted].

(f)            If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of Borrowers (excluding any restatements or adjustments resulting from a change in GAAP or other accounting methodology, legislation or standards) or other miscalculation verified by both Borrowers and the Lenders, acting reasonably and in good faith,  Borrowers or the Lenders determine that (i) the Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Gross Asset Value as calculated as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (ii) a proper calculation of the Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Gross Asset Value would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, Borrowers shall immediately and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Agent for the account of the applicable Lenders, promptly on demand by the Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to Borrowers under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, automatically and without further action by the Agent or any Lender), an amount equal to the excess of the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period.  Borrowers’ obligations under this paragraph shall survive until the termination of the aggregate Commitments and the repayment of all other Borrowers’ Obligations hereunder.

§ 2.7       Requests for Advance.  Borrowers shall give to the Agent written notice executed by an Authorized Officer in the form of Exhibit C hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing in the form of Exhibit C hereto) of each Advance requested hereunder (a “Loan Request”) by 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Base Rate Advances and three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to LIBOR Rate Advances, unless, with respect to the Initial Advance only, the timing of such notice is waived or reduced by the Agent in its sole discretion.  Each such notice shall specify with respect to the requested Advance the proposed principal amount of such Advance, the Type of Advance, the initial Interest Period (if applicable) for such Advance and the Drawdown Date.  Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall notify each of the Lenders thereof.  Each Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrowers and shall obligate Borrowers to accept the Advance requested from the Lenders on the proposed Drawdown Date.  Nothing herein shall prevent Borrowers from seeking recourse against any Lender that fails to advance its proportionate share of a requested Advance as required by this Agreement.  Each Loan Request shall be, subject to § 2.1(b), (a) for Base Rate Advances in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof; or (b) for LIBOR Rate Advances in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof; provided, however, that there shall be no more than ten (10) LIBOR Rate Advances outstanding at any one time.

§ 2.8       Funds for Advances.

(a)           Not later than 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Advance, each of the Lenders will make available to the Agent, at the Agent’s Head Office, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of the requested Advance which may be disbursed pursuant to § 2.1.  Upon receipt from each such Lender of such amount, and upon receipt of the documents required by § 10 and § 11 and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth therein, to the extent applicable, the Agent will make available to Borrowers the aggregate amount of such Advance made available to the Agent by the Lenders by crediting such amount to the account of Borrowers maintained at the Agent’s Head Office.  The failure or refusal of any Lender to make available to the Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the requested Advance shall not relieve any other Lender from its several obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent the amount of such other Lender’s Commitment Percentage of any requested Advance, including any additional Advance that may be requested subject to the terms and conditions hereof to provide funds to replace those not advanced by the Lender so failing or refusing.  In the event of any such failure or refusal, the Lenders not so failing or refusing shall be entitled to a priority secured position as against the Lender or

23

Lenders so failing or refusing to make available to Borrowers the amount of its or their Commitment Percentage for such Advances as provided in § 12.5.

(b)           Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Drawdown Date that such Lender will not make available to the Agent such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of a proposed Advance, the Agent may in its discretion assume that such Lender has made such Advance available to the Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Agent may, if it chooses, in reliance upon such assumption make such portion of the applicable Advance available to Borrowers, and such Lender shall be liable to the Agent for the amount of such portion of the applicable Advance.  If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount upon the Agent’s demand therefor, the Agent will promptly notify Borrowers, and Borrowers shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to the Agent.  The Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Lender or Borrowers (without duplication), as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the Agent to Borrowers to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from Borrowers at the applicable rate for such Advance or (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

§ 2.9       Use of Proceeds.  Borrowers will use the proceeds of the Loan solely for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including real estate acquisitions, development, redevelopment, capital expenditures and repayment of Indebtedness.

§ 2.10     [Intentionally Omitted].

§ 2.11     Increase in Total Commitment.

(a)           Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this § 2.11, Borrowers shall have the option at any time and from time to time before the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date to request an increase in the Total Commitment to not more than TWO HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($200,000,000) by giving written notice to the Agent (an “Increase Notice”; and the amount of such requested increase is the “Commitment Increase”), provided that any such individual increase must be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000 and incremental amounts of $5,000,000 in excess thereof.  Upon receipt of any Increase Notice, the Agent shall consult with Arrangers and shall notify Borrowers of the amount of facility fees to be paid to any Lenders who provide an additional Commitment in connection with such increase in the Total Commitment (which shall be in addition to the fees to be paid to the Agent or Arrangers pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Fees).  If Borrowers agree to pay the facility fees so determined, then the Agent, Arrangers or Borrowers may, but shall not be obligated to, invite one or more banks or lending institutions (which banks or lending institutions shall be reasonably acceptable to the Agent, Arrangers and Parent Borrower) to become Lenders and provide additional Commitments and/or one or more existing Lenders to increase their Commitments in an aggregate amount consistent with the Increase Notice.  The Agent shall provide all Lenders with a notice setting forth the amount, if any, of the additional Commitment to be provided by each Lender and the revised Commitment Percentages which shall be applicable after the effective date of the Commitment Increase specified therein (the “Commitment Increase Date”).  In no event shall any Lender be obligated to provide an additional Commitment.  Any Commitment Increase and the additional Advance in respect of such Commitment Increase (which Advance shall be in such principal amount as shall cause the outstanding Advances of each Lender to be held consistent with its Commitment Percentage after giving effect to the Commitment Increase) to be made by each Lender increasing its Commitment or issuing a new Commitment shall be evidenced by a supplement to this Agreement executed by the Agent, Borrowers and any Lender increasing its Commitment or issuing a new Commitment, which supplement may include such amendments to this Agreement as the Agent deems reasonably necessary or appropriate to implement the transactions contemplated by this § 2.11.

(b)           On the Commitment Increase Date, the Advances then outstanding and such additional Advance shall be combined so that all Lenders (including any Lender issuing a new Commitment)

24

hold pro rata amounts of the Loan (including such additional Advance) of each Type and Interest Period in their respective Commitment Percentages as determined after giving effect to such additional Advance.

(c)           Upon the effective date of each increase in the Total Commitment pursuant to this § 2.11 the Agent may unilaterally revise Schedule 1.1 and Borrowers shall, if requested by such Lender, execute and deliver to the Agent new Notes for each Lender whose Commitment has changed (or any Lender issuing a new Commitment that has requested a Note) so that the principal amount of such Lender’s Note shall equal its Commitment.  The Agent shall deliver such replacement Notes to the respective Lenders in exchange for the Notes replaced thereby which shall be surrendered by such Lenders.  Such new Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes and that they do not constitute a novation, shall be dated as of the Commitment Increase Date and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the replaced Notes.

(d)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligation of the Agent and the Lenders to increase the Total Commitment pursuant to this § 2.11 shall be conditioned upon satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions precedent which must be satisfied or waived prior to the effectiveness of any increase of the Total Commitment:

(i)            Payment of Activation Fee.  Borrowers shall pay (A) to the Agent those fees described in and contemplated by the Agreement Regarding Fees with respect to the applicable Commitment Increase, and (B) to the Arrangers such facility fees as the Lenders who are providing an additional Commitment may require to increase the aggregate Commitment, which fees shall, when paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances.  The Arrangers shall pay to the Lenders acquiring the increased Commitment certain fees pursuant to their separate agreement; and

(ii)           No Default.  On the date any Increase Notice is given and on the date such increase becomes effective, both immediately before and after the Total Commitment is increased, there shall exist no Default or Event of Default; and

(iii)          Representations True.  The representations and warranties made by Borrowers in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of Borrowers in connection therewith or after the date thereof shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all material respects on the date of such Increase Notice and on the date the Total Commitment is increased, both immediately before and after the Total Commitment is increased; and

(iv)          Additional Documents and Expenses.  Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the Agent and the Lenders such additional documents, instruments, certifications and opinions as the Agent may reasonably require, including, without limitation, a Compliance Certificate, demonstrating compliance with all covenants set forth in the Loan Documents after giving effect to the increase, and Borrowers shall pay the cost of any updated UCC searches and any and all intangible taxes or other taxes, assessments or charges or any similar fees, taxes or expenses which are demanded in connection with such increase.

SECTION 3

Availability (including, without limitation, as a result of the termination of any ground lease or any lease of a Leased Asset related to an Eligible Real Estate Asset), then Borrowers shall, within ten (10) Business Days after the receipt of notice from the Agent of such occurrence, pay the amount of such excess as a payment of principal to the holder or holders of any Unsecured Debt, together with any additional amounts required to be paid to such holder or holders in connection with such principal payments of Indebtedness.

§ 3.3       Optional Prepayments.

(a)           Each Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Loan, as a whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium; provided, that if any prepayment of the outstanding amount of any LIBOR Rate Advances pursuant to this § 3.3 is made on a date that is not the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of any amounts due pursuant to § 4.8.

(b)           Borrowers shall give the Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) at least three (3) days prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this § 3.3, in each case specifying the proposed date of prepayment of the Loan or portion thereof and the principal amount to be prepaid (provided that (i) any such notice may be revoked or modified upon one (1) day’s prior notice to the Agent) and (ii) any such notice may be conditioned upon the consummation of a transaction.

§ 3.4       Partial Prepayments.  Each partial prepayment of the Loan or portion thereof under § 3.3 shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof, shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment.  Each partial payment under § 3.2 and § 3.3 shall be applied first to the principal of Base Rate Advances, and then to the principal of LIBOR Rate Advances.

§ 3.5       Effect of Prepayments.  Amounts of the Loan prepaid under § 3.2 and § 3.3 prior to the Maturity Date may not be reborrowed.

SECTION 4

CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS

§ 4.1       Conversion Options.

(a)           Borrowers may by notice to the Agent in the form of Exhibit I hereto elect from time to time to convert any of the outstanding Advances to Advances of another Type and such Advances shall thereafter bear interest as a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR Rate Advance, as applicable; provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Advance to a Base Rate Advance, Borrowers shall give the Agent at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice of such election, and such conversion shall only be made on the last day of the Interest Period with respect to such LIBOR Rate Advance unless Borrowers pay Breakage Costs as required under this Agreement; (ii) with respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Advance to a LIBOR Rate Advance, Borrowers shall give the Agent at least three (3) LIBOR Business Days’ prior written notice of such election and the Interest Period requested for such Advance, the principal amount of the Loan so converted shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof and, after giving effect to the making of such Advance, there shall be no more than ten (10) LIBOR Rate Advances outstanding at any one time; and (iii) no Advance may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Advance when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  All or any part of the outstanding Advances of any Type may be converted as provided herein, provided that no partial conversion shall result in a Base Rate Advance in a principal amount of less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or a LIBOR Rate Advance in a principal amount of less than $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof.  On the date on which such conversion is being made, each Lender shall take such action as is necessary to transfer its Commitment Percentage of such

26

Advances to its Domestic Lending Office or its LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be.  Each Conversion/Continuation Request relating to the conversion of a Base Rate Advance to a LIBOR Rate Advance shall be irrevocable by Borrowers.

(b)           Any LIBOR Rate Advance may be continued as such Type upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by Borrowers with the terms of § 4.1; provided that no LIBOR Rate Advance may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Advance on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default.

(c)           In the event that Borrowers do not notify the Agent of their election hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Rate Advance, such Advance shall be automatically continued at the end of the applicable Interest Period as a LIBOR Rate Advance for an Interest Period of one month unless such Interest Period shall be greater than the time remaining until the Maturity Date, in which case such Advance shall be automatically converted to Base Rate Advances at the end of the applicable Interest Period.

§ 4.2       Fees.  Borrowers agree to pay to RBC and the Arrangers for their own account certain fees for services rendered or to be rendered in connection with the Loan as provided pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Fees.

§ 4.3       [Intentionally Omitted].

§ 4.4       Funds for Payments.

(a)           All payments of principal, interest, closing fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made to the Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders and the Agent, as the case may be, at the Agent’s Head Office, not later than 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the day when due (or such later time as is acceptable to the Agent in the event of a payment in full of all Advances and a termination of Commitments hereunder), in each case in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds.  To the extent not already paid pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Agent is hereby authorized to charge the accounts of Borrowers with RBC, on the dates when the amount thereof shall become due and payable, with the amounts of the principal of and interest on the Advances and all fees, charges, expenses and other amounts owing to the Agent and/or the Lenders under the Loan Documents.  Subject to the foregoing, all payments made to the Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and actually received by the Agent, shall be deemed received by the Lenders on the date actually received by the Agent.

(b)           All payments by Borrowers hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes  now or hereafter imposed or levied by the United States of America or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or other authority therein or any jurisdiction from or through which a payment is made by Borrowers, excluding any income Taxes, franchise Taxes imposed in lieu of income Taxes and any Taxes imposed by a jurisdiction as a result of any connection between a Lender and such jurisdiction other than any connection arising solely from executing, delivering, performing its obligations under, or enforcing the Loan Document (“Non-Excluded Taxes”), unless Borrowers are compelled by law to make such deduction or withholding.  If any such obligation is imposed upon Borrowers with respect to any amount payable by Borrowers hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, Borrowers will pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders or (as the case may be) the Agent, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder or under such other Loan Document, such additional amount in Dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Lenders or the Agent to receive the same net amount which the Lenders or the Agent would have received on such due date had no such obligation been imposed upon Borrowers; provided, however, that Borrowers shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s or Agent’s failure to comply with the requirements of § 4.4(c) or that are withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA; (ii) that are branch profits taxes imposed by the United States or

27

any similar taxes imposed by any other jurisdiction under the laws of which a Lender is organized or in which its applicable lending office is located; or (iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender, that are imposed on amounts payable to such Lender at the time such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office), except to the extent that such Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment) to receive additional amounts from Borrowers with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this § 4.4(b).  Borrowers will deliver promptly to the Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all Taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document.  In the event a Lender receives a refund or credit of any Non-Excluded Taxes paid by Borrowers pursuant to this § 4.4(b), such Lender will pay to Borrowers the amount of such refund or credit (and any interest received with respect thereto) promptly upon receipt thereof; provided that if at any time thereafter such Lender is required to return such refund or credit, Borrowers shall promptly repay to such Lender the amount of such refund or credit, net of any reasonable incremental additional costs.

(c)           Each Lender that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “Non-U.S. Lender”), to the extent such Lender is lawfully able to do so, shall provide Borrowers on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of Borrowers, with (x) two (2) original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8ECI and/or W-8IMY (or, in each case, any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and any other such duly executed form(s) or statement(s) (including whether such Lender has complied with the FATCA) which may, from time to time, be prescribed by law and, which, pursuant to applicable provisions of (i) an income tax treaty between the United States and the country of residence of such Lender, (ii) the Code, or (iii) any applicable rules or regulations in effect under (i) or (ii) above, establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Loan Documents, or (y) if such Lender is not a “bank” or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Code, a Certificate Regarding Non-Bank Status together with two (2) original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Code and requested by Borrowers to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under any of the Loan Documents.  Each Lender that is a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for United States federal income tax purposes (a “U.S. Lender”) and is not an exempt recipient within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.6049-4(c) shall provide Borrowers on or prior to the Closing Date (or, if later, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement) two (2) original copies of Internal Revenue Service From W-9 (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax, or otherwise prove that it is entitled to such an exemption.  Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this Section hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly provide Borrowers two (2) new original copies of  Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, W 8BEN, W 8ECI and/or W-8IMY (or, in each case, any successor form), or a Certificate Regarding Non-Bank Status and two (2) original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor form), as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Code and requested by Borrowers to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents, or notify Borrowers of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence.  The Agent shall deliver to Borrowers (in such number of copies as shall be requested by such Borrowers) on or prior to the date on which the Agent becomes the Agent under this Agreement and, to the extent it remains

28

legally entitled to do so, from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of a Borrower, a properly completed and duly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, W-8ECI and/or W-8IMY, which certifies that payments by such Borrower to the Agent are exempt from U.S. withholding Tax. The Agent hereby assumes primary U.S. withholding, backup withholding and information reporting obligations with respect to amounts paid or payable to it by Borrowers under the Loan Documents.

(d)           If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Parent Borrower and the Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Parent Borrower or the Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Parent Borrower or the Agent as may be necessary for Borrowers and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (d), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.  Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Parent Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(e)           The obligations of Borrowers to the Lenders under this Agreement shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following circumstances:  (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii)  the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or any right which Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates may have at any time against the Lenders (other than the defense of payment to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any other Person; (iii)  the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (iv) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; and (v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, provided that such other circumstances or happenings shall not have been the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of any Lender, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

§ 4.5       Computations.  All computations of interest on the Advances (other than Base Rate Advances at the prime rate, which shall be based on a 365/366-day year as the case may be) and of other fees to the extent applicable shall be based on a 360-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed.  Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to LIBOR Rate Advances, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension.  The Outstanding Advances as reflected on the records of the Agent from time to time shall be considered prima facie evidence of such amount absent manifest error.

§ 4.6       Suspension of LIBOR Rate Advances.  In the event that, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any LIBOR Rate Advances, the Agent shall determine that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, or the Agent shall reasonably determine (or shall receive notice from the Required Lenders that they have determined) that LIBOR will not accurately and fairly reflect the cost of the Lenders making or maintaining LIBOR Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding on Borrowers and the Lenders absent manifest error) to Borrowers and the Lenders.  In such event (a) any Loan Request with respect to a LIBOR Rate Advance shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan and (b) each LIBOR Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, become a Base Rate Advance, and the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Agent determines that the circumstances

29

giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Agent shall so notify Borrowers and the Lenders.

§ 4.7       Illegality.  Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if after the date hereof any law, regulation, treaty or directive shall be enacted or the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority having jurisdiction over a Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Rate Advances, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Agent and Borrowers and thereupon (a) the commitment of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Advances shall forthwith be suspended and (b) the LIBOR Rate Advances then outstanding shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Advances on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Advances or within such earlier period as may be required by law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, before giving such notice, the applicable Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation will void the need for giving such notice and will not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender or increase any costs payable by Borrowers hereunder.

§ 4.8       Additional Interest.  If any LIBOR Rate Advance or any portion thereof is repaid or is converted to a Base Rate Advance for any reason on a date which is prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Advance, or if repayment of the Advances has been accelerated as provided in § 12.1, Borrowers will pay to the Agent upon demand for the account of the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages, in addition to any amounts of interest otherwise payable hereunder, the Breakage Costs.  Borrowers understand, agree and acknowledge the following:  (i) no Lender has any obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of LIBOR as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on a LIBOR Rate Advance; (ii) LIBOR is used merely as a reference in determining such rate; and (iii) Borrowers have accepted LIBOR as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating such rate and any Breakage Costs.  Borrowers further agree to pay the Breakage Costs, if any, whether or not a Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds.

§ 4.9       Additional Costs, Etc.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if after the date hereof any applicable law, which expression, as used herein, includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and interpretations thereof by any competent court or by any governmental or other regulatory body charged with the administration or the interpretation thereof and directives and instructions at any time or from time to time hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Lender or the Agent by any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall:

(a)           subject any Lender or the Agent to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or withholding of any nature with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, such Lender’s Commitment, or the Advances (other than taxes based upon or measured by the gross receipts, income or profits of such Lender or the Agent or its franchise tax), or

(b)           materially change the basis of taxation (except for changes in taxes on gross receipts, income or profits or its franchise tax) of payments to any Lender of the principal of or the interest on the Loan or any other amounts payable to any Lender under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or

(c)           impose or increase or render applicable any special deposit, reserve, assessment, liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law and which are not already reflected in any amounts payable by Borrowers hereunder) against assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or commitments of an office of any Lender, or

(d)           impose on any Lender or the Agent any other conditions or requirements with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Loan, such Lender’s Commitment, or any class of

30

loans or commitments of which any of the Advances or such Lender’s Commitment forms a part; and the result of any of the foregoing is:

(i)            to increase the cost to any Lender of making, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or maintaining the Loan or any portion thereof or such Lender’s Commitment, or

(ii)           to reduce the amount of principal, interest or other amount payable to any Lender or the Agent hereunder on account of such Lender’s Commitment or the Loan, or

(iii)          to require any Lender or the Agent to make any payment or to forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Lender or the Agent from Borrowers hereunder,

then, and in each such case, Borrowers will (and as to clauses (a) and (b) above, subject to the provisions of § 4.4), within thirty (30) days of demand made by such Lender or (as the case may be) the Agent at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Lender or the Agent such additional amounts as such Lender or the Agent shall determine in good faith to be sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Agent for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum.  For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this § 4.9 shall not apply with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed by § 4.4(b) and § 4.4(c).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this § 4.9, any change applicable to the banking industry as a whole and lenders generally, and not solely to the Agent or a Lender, based on:  (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to have occurred “after the date hereof” or “after the date of this Agreement” for purposes of this § 4.9.

§ 4.10     Capital Adequacy.  If after the date hereof any Lender determines that (a) the adoption of or change in any law, rule or regulation regarding capital requirements for banks or bank holding companies or any change in the interpretation or application thereof by any governmental authority charged with the administration thereof, or (b) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank holding company with any directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy, has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s commitment to make Advances to a level below that which such Lender or holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify Borrowers thereof.  Borrowers agree to pay to such Lender the amount of such reduction in the return on capital as and when such reduction is determined, upon presentation by such Lender of a statement of the amount setting forth the Lender’s calculation thereof.  In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this § 4.10, any change applicable to the banking industry as a whole and lenders generally, and not solely to the Agent or a Lender, based on:  (x) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and (y) all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall in each case be deemed to have occurred ‘after the date hereof’ or ‘after the date of this Agreement’ for purposes of this § 4.10.

31

§ 4.11              Breakage Costs.  Borrowers shall pay all Breakage Costs required to be paid by them pursuant to this Agreement and incurred from time to time by any Lender within fifteen (15) days from receipt of written notice from the Agent.

§ 4.12              Default Interest; Late Charge.  Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and regardless of whether or not the Agent or the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loan, the Loan shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to three percent (3.0%) above the interest rate that would otherwise be in effect hereunder (the “Default Rate”), until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment), or if any of such amounts shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by law, then at the maximum rate permitted by law.  In addition, Borrowers shall pay a late charge equal to three percent (3.0%) of any amount of interest and/or principal payable on the Loan or any other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, which is not paid by Borrowers within ten (10) days of the date when due.

§ 4.13              Certificate.  A certificate setting forth any amounts payable pursuant to § 4.8, § 4.9, § 4.10, § 4.11 or § 4.12 and a reasonably detailed explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Lender or the Agent to Borrowers, shall be presumptively correct in the absence of manifest error.

§ 4.14              Limitation on Interest.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, all agreements between or among Borrowers, the Lenders and the Agent, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by the Lenders exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law.  If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the Lenders shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to Borrowers.  All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal of the Obligations (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law.  This section shall control all agreements between or among Borrowers, the Lenders and the Agent.

§ 4.15              Certain Provisions Relating to Increased Costs and Defaulting Lenders.  If a Lender gives notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in § 4.7 or any Lender requests compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of § 4.4(b) (as a result of the imposition of withholding taxes on amounts paid to such Lender under this Agreement), § 4.9 or § 4.10, then, such Lender, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts in a manner consistent with such institution’s practice in connection with loans like the Loan to eliminate, mitigate or reduce amounts that would otherwise be payable by Borrowers under the foregoing provisions, provided that such action would not be otherwise materially prejudicial to such Lender, including, without limitation, by designating another of such Lender’s offices, branches or affiliates; Borrowers agreeing to pay all reasonably incurred costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with any such action.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and if any Lender (a) has given notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in § 4.7 or has requested payment or compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of § 4.4(b) (as a result of the imposition of withholding taxes on amounts paid to such Lender under this Agreement), § 4.9 or § 4.10 and following the request of Borrowers has been unable to take the steps described above to mitigate such amounts (each, an “Affected Lender”) or (b) is a Defaulting Lender, then, within thirty (30) days after such notice or request for payment or compensation or such Lender became a Defaulting Lender, as applicable, Borrowers

32

shall have the right as to such Affected Lender or Defaulting Lender, as applicable, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the Affected Lender or Defaulting Lender, as applicable, to elect to cause the Affected Lender or Defaulting Lender, as applicable, to transfer its Commitment.  The Agent shall promptly notify the remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the Commitment, pro rata based upon their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the Affected Lender or Defaulting Lender, as applicable (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as approved by the Agent).  In the event that the Lenders do not elect to acquire all of the Affected Lender’s or Defaulting Lender’s Commitment, then the Agent shall endeavor to obtain a new Lender to acquire such remaining Commitment.  Upon any such purchase of the Commitment of the Affected Lender or Defaulting Lender, as applicable, the Affected Lender’s or Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Affected Lender or Defaulting Lender, as applicable, shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest.  The purchase price for the Affected Lender’s or Defaulting Lender’s Commitment shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by Borrowers to the Affected Lender or Defaulting Lender, as applicable, including principal, prepayment premium or fee, and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees.

SECTION 5

UNENCUMBERED ASSET POOL

§ 5.1                     Addition of Eligible Real Estate Assets.

(a)                                 After the Closing Date, Parent Borrower shall have the right, subject to the consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the satisfaction by Parent Borrower of the conditions set forth in this § 5.1, to add Potential Unencumbered Assets to the Unencumbered Asset Pool.  Parent Borrower from time to time after the Closing Date may also request that certain Real Estate of one or more Subsidiary Borrowers (collectively, the “Subsidiary Borrower Unencumbered Assets”) be included as an Eligible Real Estate Asset for the purpose of increasing the Unencumbered Asset Pool Availability.  If Parent Borrower shall request that any Potential Unencumbered Assets or Subsidiary Borrower Unencumbered Asset be added to the “Revolver Unencumbered Asset Pool,” it shall be required to add such Potential Unencumbered Asset or Subsidiary Borrower Unencumbered Asset, as applicable, to the Unencumbered Asset Pool hereunder.  In the event Parent Borrower desires to add additional Potential Unencumbered Assets or Subsidiary Borrower Unencumbered Assets as aforesaid, Parent Borrower shall provide written notice to the Agent of such request (which the Agent shall promptly furnish to the Lenders), together with all documentation and other information reasonably required to permit the Agent to determine whether such Real Estate is Eligible Real Estate.  Thereafter, the Agent shall have ten (10) Business Days from the date of the receipt of such documentation and other information to advise Parent Borrower whether the Agent consents to the acceptance of such Subsidiary Borrower Unencumbered Asset or Potential Unencumbered Asset (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Subsidiary Borrower Unencumbered Asset or Potential Unencumbered Asset shall be included in the Unencumbered Asset Pool unless and until the following conditions precedent shall have been satisfied:

(i)                                     such Subsidiary Borrower Unencumbered Asset or Potential Unencumbered Asset shall be Eligible Real Estate;

(ii)                                  the owner of any Subsidiary Borrower Unencumbered Asset (and any indirect owner of such Subsidiary Borrower) shall have executed a Joinder Agreement and satisfied the conditions of § 5.3;

(iii)                               Parent Borrower or the owner of the Subsidiary Borrower Unencumbered Asset or Potential Unencumbered Asset, as applicable, shall have executed and delivered to the Agent all Eligible Real Estate Qualification Documents and a Compliance Certificate prepared using the

33

financial statements of Parent Borrower most recently provided or required to be provided to the Agent under § 6.4 or § 7.4; and

(iv)                              after giving effect to the inclusion of such Subsidiary Borrower Unencumbered Asset or Potential Unencumbered Asset, each of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or in any document or instrument delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall be true in all material respects both as of the date as of which it was made and shall also be true as of the time of the replacement or addition of Eligible Real Estate Assets, with the same effect as if made at and as of that time (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct only as of such specified date), and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Agent shall have received a certificate of Parent Borrower to such effect.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event such Subsidiary Borrower Unencumbered Asset or Potential Unencumbered Asset does not qualify as Eligible Real Estate, so long as the conditions set forth in clauses (ii), (iii) and (iv) of this § 5.1 have been satisfied, such Subsidiary Borrower Unencumbered Asset or Potential Unencumbered Asset shall be included in the Unencumbered Asset Pool and shall be deemed Eligible Real Estate so long as the Agent shall have received the prior written consent of each of the Lenders to the inclusion of such Real Estate as an Eligible Real Estate Asset.

(b)                                 Parent Borrower may, at its option, obtain preliminary approval of the Agent of a Subsidiary Borrower Unencumbered Asset or Potential Unencumbered Asset by delivering to the Agent the following with respect to such Subsidiary Borrower Unencumbered Asset or Potential Unencumbered Asset:

(i)                                     a physical description of the Real Estate;

(ii)                                  current rent rolls, historic operating statements and operating and capital budgets (if available to Parent Borrower), and projected operating and near-term capital expenditure budgets for such Real Estate reasonably satisfactory to the Agent;

(iii)                               a current environmental report, a current engineering report and similar information reasonably satisfactory to the Agent; and

(iv)                              a certification to the knowledge of Parent Borrower that such Real Estate will satisfy (or is anticipated to satisfy upon the acceptance of such Real Estate in the Unencumbered Asset Pool) each of the other conditions to the acceptance of Real Estate in the Unencumbered Asset Pool.  The Agent shall have ten (10) Business Days following receipt of all of the foregoing items to grant or deny preliminary approval for such proposed Subsidiary Borrower Unencumbered Asset or Potential Unencumbered Asset.  The Agent shall notify Parent Borrower if and when the Agent has granted such preliminary approval.  In the event that the Agent grants such preliminary approval, Parent Borrower may satisfy the remaining requirements to the acceptance of such Unencumbered Asset as provided in § 5.1(a).  Such Real Estate shall not be included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Pool Availability until the requirements of § 5.1(a) are satisfied.

§ 5.2                     Release of Eligible Real Estate Assets.  Provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing (or would exist immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this § 5.2), and if the conditions set forth in this § 5.2 are not met, upon reasonable approval by the Required Lenders, the Agent shall release an Eligible Real Estate Asset from the Unencumbered Asset Pool upon the request of Parent Borrower subject to and upon the following terms and conditions:

(a)                                 Parent Borrower shall deliver to the Agent written notice of its desire to obtain such release no later than ten (10) days prior to the date on which such release is to be effected;

34

(b)                                 Parent Borrower shall submit to the Agent with such request a Compliance Certificate prepared using the financial statements of Parent Borrower most recently provided or required to be provided to the Agent under § 6.4 or § 7.4 adjusted in the best good faith estimate of Parent Borrower to give effect to the proposed release and demonstrating that no Default or Event of Default with respect to the covenants referred to therein shall exist after giving effect to such release;

(c)                                  Parent Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of the Agent, if any, in connection with such release, including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees;

(d)                                 Parent Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders a release price, which payment shall be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loan as provided in § 3.4, in an amount equal to the amount necessary, if any, to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loan so that no violation of the covenant set forth in § 9.1 shall occur;

(e)                                  without limiting or affecting any other provision hereof, any release of an Eligible Real Estate Asset will not cause Borrowers to be in violation of the covenants set forth in § 9.8; and

(f)                                   such Eligible Real Estate Asset has been (or, contemporaneous with the release under this Agreement, will be) released from the Revolver Unencumbered Asset Pool.

§ 5.3                     Additional Subsidiary Borrowers.  In the event that Parent Borrower shall request that certain Real Estate of a Subsidiary of Parent Borrower be included in the Unencumbered Asset Pool and such Real Estate is approved for inclusion as an Eligible Real Estate Asset in the Unencumbered Asset Pool in accordance with the terms hereof, Parent Borrower shall cause each such Subsidiary (and any entity having an interest in such Subsidiary of Parent Borrower) to execute and deliver to the Agent a Joinder Agreement, and such Subsidiary (and any such entity) shall become a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder.  For the avoidance of doubt, any Subsidiary or other such entity which becomes a “Subsidiary Borrower” as such term is defined in the Existing Credit Agreement shall become a Subsidiary Borrower under this Agreement.  Each such Subsidiary shall be specifically authorized, in accordance with its respective organizational documents, to be a Borrower hereunder.  Parent Borrower shall further cause all representations, covenants and agreements in the Loan Documents with respect to Borrowers to be true and correct with respect to each such Subsidiary.  In connection with the delivery of such Joinder Agreement, Parent Borrower shall deliver to the Agent such organizational agreements, resolutions, consents, opinions and other documents and instruments as the Agent may reasonably require.

§ 5.4                     Release of Certain Subsidiary Borrowers.  In the event that all Eligible Real Estate Assets owned by a Subsidiary Borrower shall have been released from the Unencumbered Asset Pool in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and from the Revolver Unencumbered Asset Pool in accordance with the terms of the Existing Credit Agreement, then such Subsidiary Borrower shall be released by the Agent from liability under this Agreement.

(a)                                 None of Borrowers, their respective Subsidiaries, nor to the knowledge and belief of Borrowers, any operator of the Real Estate, nor any tenant or operations thereon, is in violation, or alleged violation, of any Environmental Law, which violation could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)                                 None of Borrowers nor any of their respective Subsidiaries has received notice from any third party including, without limitation, any federal, state or local governmental authority, (i) that it has been identified by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) as a potentially responsible party under CERCLA with respect to a site listed on the National Priorities List, 40 C.F.R. Part 300 Appendix B (1986); (ii) that any Hazardous Substance(s) which it has generated, transported or disposed of have been found at any site at which a federal, state or local agency or other third party has conducted, or has demanded that any Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries conduct, a remedial investigation, removal or other response action pursuant to any Environmental Law; or (iii) that it is or shall be a named party to any claim, action, cause of action, complaint, or legal or administrative proceeding (in each case, contingent or otherwise) arising out of any third party’s incurrence of costs, expenses, losses or damages of any kind whatsoever in connection with the release of Hazardous Substances, which in the case of clauses (i) through (iii) above could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

39

(c)                                  To the knowledge of Borrowers, (i) no portion of the Real Estate is used for the handling, processing, storage or disposal of Hazardous Substances except in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws, and no underground tank or other underground storage receptacle for Hazardous Substances is located on any portion of the Real Estate except those which are being operated and maintained in compliance with Environmental Laws; (ii) in the course of any activities conducted by Borrowers, their respective Subsidiaries or, the tenants and operators of their properties, no Hazardous Substances have been generated or are being used on the Real Estate except in the ordinary course of Borrowers’ or its tenants’ and operators’ business and in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws; (iii) there has been no past or present releasing, spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, discharging, injecting, escaping, disposing or dumping (other than in reasonable quantities to the extent necessary in the ordinary course of operation of Borrowers’, its tenants’ or operators’ business and, in any event, in compliance with all Environmental Laws) (a “Release”) or threatened Release of Hazardous Substances on, upon, into or from the Eligible Real Estate Assets, which Release would have a material adverse effect on the value of such Real Estate or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect; (iv) there have been no Releases on, upon, from or into any real property in the vicinity of any of the Real Estate which, through soil or groundwater contamination, may have come to be located on, and which could be reasonably anticipated to have a Material Adverse Effect; and (v) any Hazardous Substances that have been generated on any of the Real Estate have been transported off site in accordance with all applicable Environmental Laws and in a manner that could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(d)                                 Except as set forth on Schedule 6.20(d) or for such matters that shall be complied with as of the Closing Date, by virtue of the transactions set forth herein and contemplated hereby, or to the effectiveness of any other transactions contemplated hereby, none of Borrowers, their respective Subsidiaries nor the Real Estate will become subject to any applicable Environmental Law requiring the performance of environmental site assessments, or the removal or remediation of Hazardous Substances, or the giving of notice to any governmental agency or the recording or delivery to other Persons of an environmental disclosure document or statement pursuant to applicable Environmental Laws.

(e)                                  There are no existing or closed sanitary or solid waste landfills, or hazardous waste treatment, storage or disposal facilities on or, to Borrowers’ actual knowledge, affecting the Real Estate except where such existence could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

(f)                                   Borrowers have not received any written notice from any party that any use, operation, or condition of Borrowers’ business on any Real Estate has caused any adverse condition on any other property that could reasonably be expected to result in a claim under applicable Environmental Law that would have a Material Adverse Effect, nor does any Borrower have actual knowledge of any existing facts or circumstances that could reasonably be expected to form the basis for such a claim.

§ 6.21              Subsidiaries; Organizational Structure.  Schedule 6.21(a) sets forth, as of the date hereof and after giving effect to the reorganization previously disclosed to the Agent, all of the Subsidiaries of Parent Borrower, the form and jurisdiction of organization of each of the Subsidiaries, and the owners of the direct and indirect ownership interests therein.  Schedule 6.21(b) sets forth, as of the date hereof, all of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries of Parent Borrower and its Subsidiaries, the form and jurisdiction of organization of each of the Unconsolidated Subsidiaries, Parent Borrower’s or its Subsidiary’s ownership interest therein and the other owners of the applicable Unconsolidated Subsidiary.  No Person owns any legal, equitable or beneficial interest in any of the Persons set forth on Schedules 6.21(a) and 6.21(b) except as set forth on such Schedules.

40

§ 6.22              Leases.  Borrowers have delivered to the Agent true and complete copies of the Leases and any amendments thereto relating to each Eligible Real Estate Asset required to be delivered as a part of the Eligible Real Estate Qualification Documents as of the date hereof.  An accurate and complete Rent Roll in all material respects as of the date of inclusion of each Eligible Real Estate Asset in the Unencumbered Asset Pool with respect to all Leases of any portion of the Eligible Real Estate Asset has been provided to the Agent.  The Leases previously delivered to the Agent as described in the preceding sentence constitute as of the date thereof the sole agreements relating to leasing or licensing of space at such Eligible Real Estate Asset and in the Building relating thereto.  No tenant under any Lease is entitled to any free rent, partial rent, rebate of rent payments, credit, offset or deduction in rent, including, without limitation, lease support payments or lease buy-outs, except as reflected in such Leases or such Rent Roll.  Except as set forth in Schedule 6.22, the Leases reflected therein are, as of the date of inclusion of the applicable Eligible Real Estate Asset in the Unencumbered Asset Pool, in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms, without any payment default or any other material default thereunder, nor are there any defenses, counterclaims, offsets, concessions or rebates available to any tenant thereunder, and except as reflected in Schedule 6.22, no Borrower has given or made, any notice of any payment or other material default, or any claim, which remains uncured or unsatisfied, with respect to any of the Leases, and to the best of the knowledge and belief of Borrowers, there is no basis for any such claim or notice of default by any tenant which would result in a Material Adverse Effect.  Borrower knows of no condition which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute a default on the part of (i) any tenant with respect to the material terms under a Lease or (ii) the respective Borrower as landlord under the Lease, in either case, that would, in the aggregate with any other defaults under Leases for the applicable Eligible Real Estate Asset, adversely affect more than five percent (5%) of the base rent generated by such Eligible Real Estate Asset.  No security deposit or advance rental or fee payment has been made by any lessee or licensor under the Leases except as may be specifically designated in the Leases.  No property other than the Eligible Real Estate Asset which is the subject of the applicable Lease is necessary to comply with the material requirements (including, without limitation, parking requirements) contained in such Lease.

§ 6.23              Property.  To the best of Borrowers’ knowledge, all of the Eligible Real Estate Assets, and all major building systems located thereon, are structurally sound, in good condition and working order and free from material defects, subject to ordinary wear and tear, except for such portion of such Real Estate which is not occupied by any tenant and which may not be in final working order pending final build-out of such space or except as where such defects have not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  All of the other Real Estate of Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries is structurally sound, in good condition and working order, subject to ordinary wear and tear, except for such portion of such Real Estate which is not occupied by any tenant or where such defects have not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  Each of the Eligible Real Estate Assets, and the use and operation thereof, is in material compliance with all applicable federal and state law and governmental regulations and any local ordinances, orders or regulations, including, without limitation, laws, regulations and ordinances relating to zoning, building codes, subdivision, fire protection, health, safety, handicapped access, historic preservation and protection, wetlands, tidelands, and Environmental Laws except in cases that would not reasonably cause a Material Adverse Effect.  All water, sewer, electric, gas, telephone and other utilities necessary for the use and operation of the Eligible Real Estate Asset are installed to the property lines of the Eligible Real Estate Asset through dedicated public rights of way or through perpetual private easements and, except in the case of drainage facilities, are connected to the Building located thereon with valid permits and are adequate to service the Building in material compliance with applicable law.  The streets abutting the Eligible Real Estate Asset are dedicated and accepted public roads, to which the Eligible Real Estate Asset has direct access or are perpetual private ways (with direct access to public roads) to which the Eligible Real Estate Asset has direct access.  There are no unpaid or outstanding real estate or other taxes or assessments on or against any of the Eligible Real Estate Assets which are payable by any Borrower (except only real estate or other taxes or assessments, that are not yet delinquent or are being protested as permitted by this Agreement).  Each Eligible Real Estate Asset owned by a Borrower in fee is separately assessed for purposes of real estate tax assessment and payment.  There are no unpaid or outstanding real estate or other taxes or assessments on or against any other property of Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries which are payable by any of

41

such Persons in any material amount (except only real estate or other taxes or assessments, that are not yet delinquent or are being protested as permitted by this Agreement).  There are no pending, or to the knowledge of Borrowers threatened or contemplated, eminent domain proceedings against any of the Eligible Real Estate Assets.  None of the Eligible Real Estate Assets is now damaged in any material respects as a result of any fire, explosion, accident, flood or other casualty.  None of Borrowers has received any outstanding notice from any insurer or its agent requiring performance of any material work with respect to any of the Eligible Real Estate Assets or canceling or threatening to cancel any policy of insurance, and each of the Eligible Real Estate Assets complies with the material requirements of all of Borrowers’ insurance carriers.  Except as listed on Schedule 6.23, Borrowers have no Management Agreements for any of the Eligible Real Estate Assets.  No person or entity has any right or option to acquire any Eligible Real Estate Asset or any Building thereon or any portion thereof or interest therein, except for certain tenants pursuant to the terms of their Leases with Subsidiary Borrowers.

§ 6.24              Brokers.  None of Borrowers nor any of their respective Subsidiaries has engaged or otherwise dealt with any broker, finder or similar entity in connection with this Agreement or the Loan contemplated hereunder.

§ 6.25              Other Debt.  None of Borrowers is in default of the payment of any Indebtedness or the performance of any material obligation under any related agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, financing agreement or indenture to which any of them is a party involving Indebtedness individually or in the aggregate in excess of $25,000,000.  None of Borrowers is a party to or bound by any agreement, instrument or indenture that may require the subordination in right or time or payment of any of the Obligations to any other indebtedness or obligation of any Borrower.  Schedule 6.25 hereto sets forth all agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust, financing agreements or other material agreements binding upon Borrowers or their respective properties and entered into by Borrowers as of the date of this Agreement with respect to any Indebtedness of Borrowers, and Borrowers have provided the Agent with true, correct and complete copies thereof.

§ 6.26              Solvency.  As of the Closing Date and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all Advances made or to be made hereunder, and, including, without limitation the provisions of § 37 hereof, no Borrower is insolvent on a balance sheet basis such that the sum of such Person’s assets exceeds the sum of such Person’s liabilities, each Borrower is able to pay its debts as they become due, and each Borrower has sufficient capital to carry on its business.

§ 6.27              No Bankruptcy Filing.  No Borrower is contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of its assets or property, and Borrowers have no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any such petition against it.

§ 6.28              No Fraudulent Intent.  Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents nor the performance of any actions required hereunder or thereunder is being undertaken by any Borrower with or as a result of any actual intent by any of such Persons to hinder, delay or defraud any entity to which any of such Persons is now or will hereafter become indebted.

§ 6.29              Transaction in Best Interests of Borrowers; Consideration.  The transaction evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents is in the best interests of each Borrower.  The direct and indirect benefits to inure to Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute substantially more than “reasonably equivalent value” (as such term is used in Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code) and “valuable consideration,” “fair value,” and “fair consideration,” (as such terms are used in any applicable state fraudulent conveyance law), in exchange for the benefits to be provided by Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and but for the willingness of each Subsidiary Borrower to be a co-borrower of the Loan, Borrowers would be unable to obtain the financing contemplated

42

hereunder which financing will enable Borrowers to have available financing to conduct and expand their business.

§ 6.30              OFAC.  None of Borrowers is (or will be) a person with whom any Lender is restricted from doing business under OFAC (including, those Persons named on OFAC’s Specially Designated and Blocked Persons list) or under any statute, executive order (including the September 24, 2001 Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action and is not and shall not engage in any dealings or transactions or otherwise be associated with such persons.  In addition, Borrowers hereby agree to provide to the Lenders any additional information that a Lender deems necessary from time to time in order to ensure compliance with all applicable laws concerning money laundering and similar activities.

§ 8.5       Sale and Leaseback.  Borrowers will not enter into any arrangement, directly or indirectly, whereby any Borrower shall sell or transfer any Real Estate owned by it in order that then or thereafter such Borrower shall lease back such Real Estate without the prior written consent of the Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

§ 8.6       Compliance with Environmental Laws.  None of Borrowers will do any of the following:  (a) use any of the Real Estate or any portion thereof as a facility for the handling, processing, storage or disposal of Hazardous Substances, except for quantities of Hazardous Substances used in the ordinary course of Borrowers’ or its tenants’ business and in material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, (b) cause or permit to be located on any of the Real Estate any underground tank or other underground storage receptacle for Hazardous Substances except in material compliance with Environmental Laws, (c) generate any Hazardous Substances on any of the Real Estate except in material compliance with Environmental Laws, (d) conduct any activity at any Real Estate or use any Real Estate in any manner that could reasonably be expected to cause a Release of Hazardous Substances on, upon or into the Real Estate or any surrounding properties or any threatened Release of Hazardous Substances which might give rise to liability under CERCLA or any other Environmental Law, or (e) directly or indirectly transport or arrange for the transport of any Hazardous Substances (except in material compliance with all Environmental Laws), except as any such use, generation, conduct or other activity described in clauses (a) to (e) of this § 8.6 could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Borrowers shall:

(i)            in the event of any change in applicable Environmental Laws governing the assessment, release or removal of Hazardous Substances, take all reasonable action as required by such Laws (including, without limitation, the conducting of engineering tests at the sole expense of Borrowers) to confirm that no Hazardous Substances are or ever were Released or disposed of on the Eligible Real Estate Assets in violation of applicable Environmental Laws; and

Borrowers to liability shall occur or shall have occurred on any Eligible Real Estate Asset (including without limitation any such Release or disposal occurring prior to the acquisition or leasing of such Eligible Real Estate Asset by Borrowers), the relevant Borrower shall, after obtaining knowledge thereof, cause the prompt containment and removal of such Hazardous Substances and remediation of the Eligible Real Estate Asset in material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; provided, that each of Borrowers shall be deemed to be in compliance with Environmental Laws for the purpose of this clause (ii) so long as it or a responsible third party with sufficient financial resources is taking reasonable action to remediate or manage such event or has taken and is diligently pursuing a challenge to any such alleged legal obligation through appropriate administrative or judicial proceedings.

§ 8.7       Distributions.

(a)           Parent Borrower shall not pay any Distribution to the partners, members or other owners of Parent Borrower, and REIT shall not pay any Distribution to its shareholders, if such Distribution is in excess of the amount which (i) when added to the amount of all other Distributions paid in the same calendar quarter and (A) the preceding calendar quarters from the date of this Agreement or (B) the preceding three (3) calendar quarters (whichever is less), would exceed ninety-five percent (95%) of such Person’s Funds from Operations for such period; provided that (x) the limitations contained in this § 8.7(a) shall not preclude Parent Borrower from making Distributions each year to its owners, pro rata in accordance with percentage interests, such that the amount received by REIT is sufficient to cover (i) the liability of REIT for Taxes plus (ii) an amount equal to the greater of:  (1) the amount estimated by REIT in good faith after reasonable diligence to be necessary to permit REIT to distribute to its shareholders with respect to any calendar year (whether made during such year or after the end thereof) 100% of the “real estate investment trust taxable income” of REIT within the meaning of Section 857(b)(2) of the Code, determined without regard to deductions for dividends paid and the exclusions set forth in Sections 857(b)(2)(C), (D), (E) and (F) of the Code but including therein all net capital gains and net recognized built-in gains within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.337(d)-6 (whether or not such gains might otherwise be excluded or excludable therefrom); or (2) the amount that is estimated by REIT in good faith after reasonable diligence to be necessary either to maintain the REIT Status of REIT (if REIT exists) or to enable REIT to avoid the incurrence of any tax for any calendar year that could be avoided by reason of a distribution by REIT to its shareholders, with such distributions to be made as and when determined by REIT, whether during or after the end of the relevant calendar year; and (y) REIT shall be allowed to pay Distributions of the amount received pursuant to this § 8.7(a) to its shareholders.
