EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2024 of Digital Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and Digital Realty Trust, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership, of which Digital Realty Trust, Inc. is the sole general partner. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references in this report to “we,” “us,” “our,” “our Company”, or “the Company” refer to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, including Digital Realty Trust, L.P. In statements regarding qualification as a REIT, such terms refer solely to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. Unless otherwise indicated or unless the context requires otherwise, all references to the “Parent” refer to Digital Realty Trust, Inc., and all references to “our Operating Partnership,” “the Operating Partnership” or “the OP” refer to Digital Realty Trust, L.P. together with its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Parent is a real estate investment trust, or REIT, and the sole general partner of the OP. As of September 30, 2024, the Parent owned an approximate 98.1% common general partnership interest in Digital Realty Trust, L.P. The remaining approximate 1.9% of the common limited partnership interests of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. are owned by non-affiliated third parties and certain directors and officers of the Parent. As of September 30, 2024, the Parent owned all of the preferred limited partnership interests of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. As the sole general partner of Digital Realty Trust, L.P., the Parent has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for the OP’s day-to-day management and control.

We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Parent and the OP into this single report results in the following benefits:

enhancing investors’ understanding of the Parent and the OP by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
eliminating duplicative disclosure and providing a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Parent and the OP; and
creating time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

It is important to understand the few differences between the Parent and the OP in the context of how we operate the Company. The Parent does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the OP and issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain unsecured debt of the OP and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates. The OP holds substantially all the assets of the business, directly or indirectly. The OP conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by the Parent, which are generally contributed to the OP in exchange for partnership units, the OP generates the capital required by the business through the OP’s operations, incurrence of indebtedness and issuance of partnership units to third parties.

The presentation of noncontrolling interests, stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Parent and those of the OP. The differences in the presentations between stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital result from the differences in the equity and capital issuances in the Parent and in the OP.

To highlight the differences between the Parent and the OP, separate sections in this report, as applicable, individually discuss the Parent and the OP, including separate financial statements and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure of the Parent and the OP, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company.

As general partner with control of the OP, the Parent consolidates the OP for financial reporting purposes, and it does not have significant assets other than its investment in the OP. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the Parent and the OP are the same on their respective condensed consolidated financial statements. The separate discussions of the Parent and the OP in this report should be read in conjunction with each other to understand the results of the Company on a consolidated basis and how management operates the Company.

DIGITAL REALTY TRUST, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. General

Organization and Description of Business. Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (the Parent), through its controlling interest in Digital Realty Trust, L.P. (the Operating Partnership or the OP) and the subsidiaries of the OP (collectively, we, our, us or the Company), is a leading global provider of data center (including colocation and interconnection) solutions for customers across a variety of industry verticals ranging from cloud and information technology services, social networking and communications to financial services, manufacturing, energy, healthcare, and consumer products. The OP, a Maryland limited partnership, is the entity through which the Parent, a Maryland corporation, conducts its business of owning, acquiring, developing and operating data centers. The Parent operates as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

The Parent’s only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of the OP. The Parent generally does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the OP, issuing public securities from time to time and guaranteeing certain unsecured debt of the OP and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates. The Parent has not issued any debt but guarantees the unsecured debt of the OP and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates.

The OP holds substantially all the assets of the Company. The OP conducts the operations of the business and has no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by the Parent, which are generally contributed to the OP in exchange for partnership units, the OP generally generates the capital required by the Company’s business primarily through the OP’s operations, by the OP’s or its affiliates’ direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness or through the issuance of partnership units.

Accounting Principles and Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes (the “Financial Statements”) are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and are presented in our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. All of the accounts of the Parent, the OP, and the subsidiaries of the OP are included in the accompanying Financial Statements. All material intercompany transactions with consolidated entities have been eliminated. In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature that are necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. Interim results are not always indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 (“2023 Form 10-K”), as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2024, and June 30, 2024, as filed with the SEC, and other filings with the SEC.

Management Estimates and Assumptions. U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period, reported amounts for assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements. Although we believe the estimates and assumptions we made are reasonable and appropriate, as discussed in the applicable sections throughout the consolidated financial statements, different assumptions and estimates could materially impact our reported results. Actual results and outcomes may differ from our assumptions.

New Accounting Pronouncements. Recently issued accounting pronouncements that have yet to be adopted by the Company are not expected to have a material impact to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Acquisitions

In January 2024, we acquired a 16-acre site in Paris for $80 million. Prior to the acquisition, we leased the land, which consisted of two completed data centers and two data centers under construction. As a result of the land acquisition, we derecognized the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities of $145 million and $150 million, respectively.

In July 2024, the Company acquired two data centers located in the Slough Trading Estate for $200 million. The newly acquired campus features two individual data centers with a combined capacity of 15 megawatts (MW).

Dispositions

On January 11, 2024, we formed a joint venture with Blackstone Inc. to develop four hyperscale data center campuses across Frankfurt, Paris and Northern Virginia. The campuses are planned to support the construction of 10 data centers with approximately 500 megawatts of potential IT load capacity. The first phase of the joint venture closed on hyperscale data center campuses in Paris and Northern Virginia, while the second phase is scheduled to close in the fourth quarter of 2024, subject to obtaining the required approvals. We received approximately $231 million of net proceeds from the contribution of our data centers to the first phase of the joint venture and retained a 20% interest in the joint venture. As a result of transferring control, we derecognized the data centers and recognized a loss on disposition of approximately $0.3 million.

In January 2024, we closed on the sale of our interest in four data centers to Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P., or Brookfield, for approximately $271 million. Two of the data centers were consolidated by us; while two of the data centers were owned by Digital Core REIT (see Note 5. “Investments in Unconsolidated Entities”). The sale was completed subsequent to Brookfield’s November 2023 acquisition of one of our customers, Cyxtera Technologies. The acquisition was part of Cyxtera’s plan of reorganization under its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. In conjunction with the sale, we bought out Cyxtera’s leases in three data centers located in Singapore and Frankfurt for approximately $57 million. In addition, Brookfield assumed the leases on three facilities previously leased to Cyxtera and amended the leases on three additional data centers in North America, accelerating the expiration date to September 2024. As a result of the sale, we recognized a total gain on disposition of approximately $203.1 million, of which $194.2 million is included within Gain on disposition of properties, net and $8.9 million is included within Equity in (loss) earnings of unconsolidated entities on our condensed consolidated income statements.

On March 1, 2024, we formed a joint venture with Mitsubishi Corporation, or Mitsubishi, to support the development of two data centers in the Dallas metro area. The facilities were 100% pre-leased prior to construction. We contributed the two data center buildings at a contribution value of approximately $261 million. We received approximately $153 million of gross proceeds from the contribution of our data centers to the joint venture and retained a 35% interest in the joint venture. Mitsubishi paid such cash in exchange for a 65% interest in the joint venture. As a result of transferring control, we derecognized the data centers and recognized a gain on disposition of approximately $7.1 million.

On April 16, 2024, we expanded our existing joint venture with GI Partners with the sale to GI Partners of a 75% interest in a third facility on the same hyperscale data center campus in Chicago. We contributed the data center at a value of approximately $453 million. We received approximately $386 million of net proceeds from the contribution of our data center to the joint venture and the associated financing and retained a 25% interest in the joint venture. As a result of transferring control, we derecognized the data center and recognized a gain on disposition of approximately $172 million.

During our second quarter 2024 impairment review, we determined that certain non-core properties in secondary U.S. markets had carrying amounts that may not be fully recoverable as we determined that we no longer intend to hold these properties long-term. Accordingly, the recorded amounts were reduced to reflect management’s estimate of fair value based on sales of similar properties and ongoing negotiations with third parties. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded a provision for impairment on real estate investments of $168.3 million.

3. Leases

Lessor Accounting

We generate most of our revenue by leasing operating properties to customers under operating lease agreements. We recognize the total minimum lease payments provided for under the leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term if we determine that it is probable that substantially all of the lease payments will be collected over the lease term. Otherwise, rental revenue is recognized based on the amount contractually due. Generally, under the terms of our leases, some of our rental expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, are recovered from our customers. We record amounts reimbursed by customers in the period the applicable expenses are incurred, which is generally ratably throughout the term of the lease. Reimbursements are recognized in rental and other services revenue in the condensed consolidated income statements as we are the primary obligor with respect to purchasing and selecting goods and services from third-party vendors and bearing the associated credit risk. Our largest customer’s total revenue approximates 11% of our total revenue base. No other individual customer makes up more than 6% of our total revenue.

Lessee Accounting

We lease space at certain of our data centers from third parties and certain equipment under noncancelable lease agreements. Leases for our data centers expire at various dates through 2069. As of September 30, 2024, certain of our data centers, primarily in Europe and Singapore, are subject to ground leases. As of September 30, 2024, the termination dates of these ground leases generally range from 2038 to 2073. In addition, our corporate headquarters along with several regional office locations are subject to leases with termination dates ranging from 2024 to 2036.

DIGITAL REALTY TRUST, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

The leases generally require us to make fixed rental payments that increase at defined intervals during the term of the lease plus pay our share of common area, real estate and utility expenses as incurred. The leases neither contain residual value guarantees nor impose material restrictions or covenants on us. Further, the leases have been classified and accounted for as either operating or finance leases. Rent expense related to operating leases included in rental property operating and maintenance expense in the condensed consolidated income statements amounted to approximately $39.2 million and $37.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and approximately $112.6 million and $114.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

4. Receivables

Accounts and Other Receivables, Net

Accounts and Other Receivables, net is primarily comprised of contractual rents and other lease-related obligations currently due from customers. These amounts (net of an allowance for estimated uncollectible amounts) are shown in the subsequent table as Accounts receivable – trade, net. Other receivables shown separately from Accounts receivable – trade, net consist primarily of amounts that have not yet been billed to customers, such as for utility reimbursements and installation fees.

We realized a gain of approximately $27 million on our original investments, made in 2015 and 2017. The gain is included within Other income, net on our condensed consolidated income statements.

Generally, we serve as the managing member responsible for operations in the ordinary course of business of the joint ventures. We perform the day-to-day accounting and property management functions for the joint ventures and, as such, will earn management fees. However, certain approval rights are granted through the terms of the joint venture agreements and require unanimous consent of both members with respect to any major decisions. Generally, major decisions are defined to include the annual plan which sets out joint venture and property level budgets, including lease revenues, operating expenses, and capital expenditures. As such, we concluded we do not own a controlling interest and accounted for our interest in the joint ventures under the equity method of accounting.

GI Partners Joint Venture On July 13, 2023, we formed a joint venture with GI Partners, and GI Partners acquired a 65% interest in two stabilized hyperscale data center buildings in the Chicago metro area that we contributed. We retained a 35% interest in the joint venture. As a result of transferring control, we derecognized the data centers. In addition, GI Partners had a call option to increase their ownership interest in the joint venture from 65% to 80%. The call option top-up election notice was delivered to the Company on December 21, 2023. On January 12, 2024, GI Partners made an additional cash capital contribution, pursuant to the exercise of such call option, in the amount of $68 million, resulting in such additional 15% ownership in the joint venture. Currently, GI Partners has an 80% interest in the joint venture, and we have retained a 20% interest. We also granted GI Partners an option to purchase an interest in the third facility on the same hyperscale data center campus in Chicago. On April 16, 2024, we expanded our existing joint venture with GI Partners with the sale to GI Partners of a 75% interest in this third facility, see Note 2. “Investments in Properties”.

TPG Real Estate Joint Venture On July 25, 2023, we formed a joint venture with TPG Real Estate, and TPG Real Estate acquired an 80% interest in three stabilized hyperscale data center buildings in Northern Virginia that we contributed. We retained a 20% interest in the joint venture. As a result of transferring control, we derecognized the data centers.

Realty Income Joint Venture – On November 10, 2023, we formed a joint venture with Realty Income to support the development of two data centers in Northern Virginia. We retained a 20% interest in the joint venture. Realty Income contributed such cash to the joint venture in exchange for an 80% interest in the joint venture. Each partner funded its pro rata share of the remaining estimated development cost for the first phase of the project, which was completed in mid-2024.

Blackstone Joint Venture - On January 11, 2024, we formed a joint venture with Blackstone Inc. to develop four hyperscale data center campuses across Frankfurt, Paris and Northern Virginia. The campuses are planned to support the construction of 10 data centers with approximately 500 megawatts of potential IT load capacity. The first phase of the joint venture closed on hyperscale data center campuses in Paris and Northern Virginia, while the second phase is scheduled to close in the fourth quarter of 2024, subject to obtaining the required approvals. We retained a 20% interest in the joint venture. Each partner funded its pro rata share of the remaining $3.0 billion estimated development cost for the first phase of the joint venture, which is slated for completion in various stages, contingent on customer demand, which began in the first quarter of 2024.

Mitsubishi Joint Venture - On March 1, 2024, we formed a joint venture with Mitsubishi Corporation, or Mitsubishi, to support the development of two data centers in the Dallas metro area. We retained a 35% interest in the joint venture. Each partner funded its pro rata share of the remaining $140 million estimated development cost for the first phase of the project, of which one project has been completed in June 2024 and another is slated for completion in late 2024.

DCREIT – Digital Core REIT is a standalone real estate investment trust formed under Singapore law, which is publicly traded on the Singapore Exchange under the ticker symbol “DCRU”. Digital Core REIT owns 10 operating data center properties. The Company’s ownership interest in the units of DCRU, as well as its ownership interest in the operating properties of DCRU are collectively referred to as the Company’s investment in DCREIT.

As of September 30, 2024, the Company held 32% of the outstanding DCRU units and separately owned a 10% direct retained interest in the underlying North American operating properties. DCREIT has a 49.9% interest in a consolidated asset in Frankfurt which we account for as noncontrolling interest.

The Company’s 32% interest in DCRU consisted of 414 million units and 406 million units as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Based on the closing price per unit of $0.62 and $0.65 as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, the fair value of the units the Company owned in DCRU was approximately $257 million and $264 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Pursuant to contractual agreements with DCRU and its operating properties, the Company will earn fees for asset and property management services as well as fees for aiding in future acquisition, disposition and development activities. Certain of these fees are payable to the Company in the form of additional units in DCRU or in cash. The Company earned fees pursuant to these contractual agreements of approximately $0.8 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $6.8 million and $7.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which is recorded as fee income and other on the condensed consolidated income statement.

(Unaudited)

On April 19, 2024, we completed the sale of an additional 24.9% interest in a data center facility in Frankfurt, Germany to DCREIT for total consideration of approximately $126 million, and DCREIT now has a 49.9% interest in the Frankfurt data center. Because the Company still controls this asset, no gain or loss was recorded on this 49.9% interest. In connection with this transaction, DCREIT loaned the consolidated subsidiary that owns the data center approximately $80 million. As of September 30, 2024, DCREIT has loaned $160.4 million, which is secured by the Frankfurt data center and is recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheets within Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities.

Ascenty – The Company’s ownership interest in Ascenty includes an approximate 2% interest held by one of the Company’s noncontrolling interest holders. This 2% interest had a carrying value of approximately $12 million and $18 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Ascenty is a variable interest entity (“VIE”) and the Company’s maximum exposure to loss related to this VIE is limited to our equity investment in the entity.

Debt – The debt of our unconsolidated entities generally is non-recourse to us, except for customary exceptions pertaining to matters such as intentional misuse of funds, environmental conditions, and material misrepresentations.

6. Goodwill

Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of net tangible and intangible assets acquired in a business combination. Changes in the value of goodwill at September 30, 2024 as compared to December 31, 2023 were primarily driven by changes in exchange rates associated with goodwill balances denominated in foreign currencies.

The weighted-average interest rates shown represent interest rates at the end of the periods for the debt outstanding and include the impact of designated interest rate swaps, which effectively fix the interest rates on certain variable rate debt, along with cross-currency interest rate swaps, which effectively convert a portion of our U.S. dollar-denominated fixed-rate debt to foreign currency-denominated fixed-rate debt in order to hedge the currency exposure associated with our net investment in foreign subsidiaries.

(1)As part of the acquisition of Teraco in 2022, certain of Teraco's minority indirect shareholders (“Rollover Shareholders”) have the right to put their shares in an upstream parent company of Teraco (“Remaining Interest”) to the Company in exchange for cash or the equivalent value of shares of the Company common stock, or a combination thereof. Under U.S. GAAP, diluted earnings per share must be reflected in a manner that assumes such put right was exercised at the beginning of the respective periods and settled entirely in shares. The amounts shown represent the redemption value of the Remaining Interest of Teraco divided by Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s average share price for the respective periods. The put right is exercisable by the Rollover Shareholders for a two-year period commencing on February 1, 2026.

The below table shows the securities that would be antidilutive or not dilutive to the calculation of earnings per share and unit. Common units of the Operating Partnership not owned by Digital Realty Trust, Inc. were excluded only from the calculation of earnings per share as they are not applicable to the calculation of earnings per unit.

The 2023 Sales Agreement was amended on February 23, 2024 (the “2024 Sales Agreement Amendment”). At the time of the amendment, $258.3 million remained unsold under the 2023 Sales Agreement. Pursuant to the 2024 Sales Agreement Amendment, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. can issue and sell common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $2.0 billion through various named agents from time to time.

Limited partners have the right to require the Operating Partnership to redeem all or a portion of their common units for cash based on the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock at the time of redemption. Alternatively, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. may elect to acquire those common units in exchange for shares of its common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, issuance of stock rights, specified extraordinary distributions and similar events. The common units and incentive units of the Operating Partnership are classified within equity, except for certain common units issued to certain former DuPont Fabros Technology, L.P. unitholders in the Company’s acquisition of DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc., which are subject to certain restrictions and, accordingly, are not presented as permanent equity in the condensed balance sheet.

The redemption value of the noncontrolling Operating Partnership common units and the vested incentive units was approximately $1,004.4 million and $834.1 million based on the closing market price of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock on September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

12. Incentive Plans

2014 Incentive Award Plan

The Company provides incentive awards in the form of common stock or awards convertible into common stock pursuant to the Digital Realty Trust, Inc., Digital Services, Inc. and Digital Realty Trust, L.P. 2014 Incentive Award Plan, as amended (the “Incentive Plan”). The major categories of awards that have been issued under the Incentive Plan include:

Long-Term Incentive Units (“LTIP Units”): LTIP Units, in the form of profits interest units of the Operating Partnership, may be issued to eligible participants for the performance of services to or for the benefit of the Operating Partnership. LTIP Units (other than Class D units), whether vested or not, receive the same quarterly per-unit distributions as Operating Partnership common units. Initially, LTIP Units do not have full parity with common units with respect to liquidating distributions. However, if such parity is reached, vested LTIP Units may be converted into an equal number of common units of the Operating Partnership at any time. The awards generally vest over periods between two and four years.

Table of Contents

DIGITAL REALTY TRUST, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

DIGITAL REALTY TRUST, L.P. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Service-Based Restricted Stock Units: Service-based Restricted Stock Units, which vest over periods between two and four years, convert to shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stock upon vesting.

Performance-Based Awards (“the Performance Awards”): Performance-based Class D units of the Operating Partnership and performance-based Restricted Stock Units of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stock may be issued to officers and employees of the Company. The Performance Awards include performance-based and time-based vesting criteria. Depending on the type of award, the total number of units that qualify to fully vest is determined based on either a market performance criterion (“Market-Based Performance Awards”) or financial performance criterion (“Financial-Based Performance Awards”), in each case, subject to time-based vesting.

Market-Based Performance Awards.

The market performance criterion compares Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) relative to the MSCI US REIT Index (“RMS”) over a three-year performance period (“Market Performance Period”), subject to continued service, in order to determine the percentage of the total eligible pool of units that qualifies to be awarded. Following the completion of the Market Performance Period, the awards then have a time-based vesting element pursuant to which 50% of the performance-vested units fully vest in the February immediately following the end of the Market Performance Period and 50% of the performance-vested units fully vest in the subsequent February.

Vesting with respect to the market condition is measured based on the difference between Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s TSR percentage and the TSR percentage of the RMS as is shown in the subsequent table (the “RMS Relative Market Performance”).

If the RMS Relative Market Performance falls between the levels specified in the above table, the percentage of the award that will vest with respect to the market condition will be determined using straight-line linear interpolation between such levels.

2021 Awards

In January 2024, the RMS Relative Market Performance fell between the threshold and target levels for the 2021 awards and, accordingly, 71,926 Class D units and 7,066 Restricted Stock Units performance vested and qualified for time-based vesting.

The Class D units included 5,131 distribution equivalent units that immediately vested on December 31, 2023.

On February 27, 2024, 50% of the 2021 awards vested and the remaining 50% will vest on February 27, 2025, subject to continued employment through the applicable vesting date.

(Unaudited)

The grant date fair value of the Market-Based Performance Awards was approximately $9.8 million and $8.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. This amount will be recognized as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the expected service period of approximately four years.

Financial-Based Performance Awards.

On January 1, 2024, the Company granted Financial-Based Performance Awards, which vest based on growth in same-store cash net operating income during the three-year period commencing on January 1, 2024. The awards have a time-based vesting element consistent with the Market-Based Performance Awards discussed above. For these awards, fair value is based on market value on the date of grant and compensation cost is recognized based on the probable achievement of the performance condition at each reporting period. The grant date fair value of these awards was $9.8 million, based on Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s closing stock price at the grant date.

As of September 30, 2024, approximately 3.7 million shares of common stock, including awards that can be converted to or exchanged for shares of common stock, remained available for future issuance under the Incentive Plan.

Each LTIP unit and each Class D unit issued under the Incentive Plan counts as one share of common stock for purposes of calculating the limit on shares that may be issued under the Incentive Plan and the individual award limits set forth therein.

13. Derivative Instruments

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments

Net Investment Hedges

In September 2022, we entered into cross-currency interest rate swaps, which effectively convert a portion of our U.S. dollar-denominated fixed-rate debt to foreign currency-denominated fixed-rate debt in order to hedge the currency exposure associated with our net investment in foreign subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2024, we had cross-currency interest rate swaps outstanding with notional amounts of $1.7 billion and maturity dates ranging through 2028.

The effect of these net investment hedges on accumulated other comprehensive loss and the condensed consolidated income statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 was as follows (in thousands):

Cash Flow Hedges  

As of September 30, 2024, we had derivatives designated as cash flow hedges on the Euro Term Loan Facilities (€375 million notional amount) and the USD Term Loan ($500 million notional amount). Amounts reported in Accumulated other comprehensive loss related to interest rate swaps are reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on our debt. As of September 30, 2024, we estimate that an additional $1.6 million will be reclassified as a decrease to interest expense during the twelve months ended September 30, 2025, when the hedged forecasted transactions impact earnings.

14. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

There have been no significant changes in our policy for fair value measurements from what was disclosed in our 2023 Form 10-K.

The carrying amounts for cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable and other accrued liabilities, accrued dividends and distributions, security deposits and prepaid rents approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying value of our Global Revolving Credit Facilities, Euro Term Loan Facilities and USD Term Loan Facility approximates estimated fair value, because these liabilities have variable interest rates and our credit ratings have remained stable. Differences between the carrying value and fair value of our unsecured senior notes and secured and other debt are caused by differences in interest rates or borrowing spreads that were available to us on September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 as compared to those in effect when the debt was issued or assumed.

We calculate the fair value of our secured and other debt and unsecured senior notes based on currently available market rates assuming the loans are outstanding through maturity and considering the collateral and other loan terms. In determining the current market rate for fixed rate debt, a market spread is added to the quoted yields on federal government treasury securities with similar maturity dates to our debt.

(1)The carrying value of our Global Revolving Credit Facilities and unsecured term loans approximates estimated fair value, due to the variability of interest rates and the stability of our credit ratings.
(2)Valuations for our unsecured senior notes and secured and other debt are determined based on the expected future payments discounted at risk-adjusted rates and quoted market prices.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded an impairment charge of $168.3 million related to Investments in properties, net, on certain non-core properties in secondary U.S. markets. Management estimated the fair values of these investments based on sales of similar properties and ongoing negotiations with third parties. The significant inputs and assumptions used in the estimate of fair value included comparable sales values ranging from $69 per square foot to $151 per square foot. These measurements were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as they are not observable.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

Our properties require periodic investments of capital for tenant-related capital expenditures and for general capital improvements including ground up construction. From time to time in the normal course of our business, we enter into various construction contracts with third parties that may obligate us to make payments. At September 30, 2024, we had open commitments, including amounts reimbursable by customers of approximately $62.5 million, related to construction contracts of approximately $1.9 billion.

Legal Proceedings – Although the Company is involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, as of September 30, 2024, the Company is not currently a party to any legal proceedings nor, to its knowledge, is any legal proceeding threatened against it that it believes would have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

As disclosed previously, the Division of Enforcement of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is conducting an investigation into the adequacy of our disclosures of cybersecurity risks and our related disclosure controls and procedures. We are cooperating with the SEC and are not aware of any cybersecurity issue or event that caused the Staff to open this matter. Responding to an investigation of this type can be costly and time-consuming. While we are unable to predict the likely outcome of this matter or the potential cost or exposure or duration of the process, based on the information we currently possess, we do not expect the total potential cost to be material to our financial condition. If the SEC believes that violations occurred, it could seek remedies including, but not limited to, civil monetary penalties and injunctive relief, and/or file litigation against the Company.

17. Segment and Geographic Information

A majority of the Company’s largest customers are global entities that transact with the Company across multiple geographies worldwide. In order to better address the needs of these global customers, the Company manages critical decisions around development, operations, and leasing globally based on customer demand considerations. In this regard, the Company manages customer relationships on a global basis in order to achieve consistent sales and delivery experience of our products for our customers throughout the global portfolio. In order to best accommodate the needs of global customers (and customers that might one day become global), the Company manages its operations as a single global business – with one operating segment and therefore one reporting segment.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, each as filed with the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. In particular, statements pertaining to our capital resources, expected use of borrowings under our credit facilities, expected use of proceeds from our ATM equity program, litigation matters or legal proceedings, portfolio performance, leverage policy, acquisition and capital expenditure plans, capital recycling program, returns on invested capital, supply and demand for data center space, capitalization rates, rents to be received in future periods and expected rental rates on new or renewed data center space contain forward-looking statements. Likewise, all of our statements regarding anticipated market conditions, and results of operations are forward-looking statements. You can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “intends,” “plans,” “pro forma,” “estimates” or “anticipates” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends which do not relate solely to historical matters. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties, and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data or methods that may be incorrect or imprecise and that we may not be able to realize. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described or that they will happen at all. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: reduced demand for data centers or decreases in information technology spending; decreased rental rates, increased operating costs or increased vacancy rates; increased competition or available supply of data center space; the suitability of our data centers and data center infrastructure, delays or disruptions in connectivity or availability of power, or failures or breaches of our physical and information security infrastructure or services; breaches of our obligations or restrictions under our contracts with our customers; our inability to successfully develop and lease new properties and development space, and delays or unexpected costs in development of properties; the impact of current global and local economic, credit and market conditions; global supply chain or procurement disruptions, or increased supply chain costs; the impact from periods of heightened inflation on our costs, such as operating and general and administrative expenses, interest expense and real estate acquisition and construction costs; the impact on our customers’ and our suppliers’ operations during an epidemic, pandemic, or other global events; our dependence upon significant customers, bankruptcy or insolvency of a major customer or a significant number of smaller customers, or defaults on or non-renewal of leases by customers; changes in political conditions, geopolitical turmoil, political instability, civil disturbances, restrictive governmental actions or nationalization in the countries in which we operate; our inability to retain data center space that we lease or sublease from third parties; information security and data privacy breaches; difficulties managing an international business and acquiring or operating properties in foreign jurisdictions and unfamiliar metropolitan areas; our failure to realize the intended benefits from, or disruptions to our plans and operations or unknown or contingent liabilities related to, our recent and future acquisitions; our failure to successfully integrate and operate acquired or developed properties or businesses; difficulties in identifying properties to acquire and completing acquisitions; risks related to joint venture investments, including as a result of our lack of control of such investments; risks associated with using debt to fund our business activities, including re-financing and interest rate risks, our failure to repay debt when due, adverse changes in our credit ratings or our breach of covenants or other terms contained in our loan facilities and agreements; our failure to obtain necessary debt and equity financing, and our dependence on external sources of capital; financial market fluctuations and changes in foreign currency exchange rates; adverse economic or real estate developments in our industry or the industry sectors that we sell to, including risks relating to decreasing real estate valuations and impairment charges and goodwill and other intangible asset impairment charges; our inability to manage our growth effectively; losses in excess of our insurance coverage; our inability to attract and retain talent; environmental liabilities, risks related to natural disasters and our inability to achieve our sustainability goals; the expected operating performance of anticipated near-term acquisitions and descriptions relating to these expectations; our inability to comply with rules and regulations applicable to our Company; Digital Realty

Trust, Inc.’s failure to maintain its status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes; Digital Realty Trust, L.P.’s failure to qualify as a partnership for federal income tax purposes; restrictions on our ability to engage in certain business activities; changes in local, state, federal and international laws and regulations, including related to taxation, real estate and zoning laws, and increases in real property tax rates; the impact of any financial, accounting, legal or regulatory issues or litigation that may affect us; and those additional risks and factors discussed in reports filed with the SEC by us from time to time, including those discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K and in other sections of this report, including under Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors.

While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes.

The risks included here are not exhaustive, and additional factors could adversely affect our business and financial performance, including factors and risks included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and in other sections of this report, including under Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risk factors emerge from time to time and it is not possible for management to identify all such risk factors, nor can we assess the impact of all such risk factors on the business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. Given these risks and uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements as a prediction of actual results.

Occupancy percentages included in the following discussion, for some of our properties, are calculated based on factors in addition to contractually leased square feet, including available power, required support space and common area.

As used in this report: “Ascenty entity” refers to the entity which owns and operates Ascenty, formed with Brookfield Infrastructure.

Business Overview and Strategy

Digital Realty Trust, Inc., through its controlling interest in Digital Realty Trust, L.P. and its subsidiaries, delivers comprehensive space, power, and interconnection solutions that enable its customers and partners to connect with each other and service their own customers on a global technology and real estate platform. We are a leading global provider of data center, colocation and interconnection solutions for customers across a variety of industry verticals. Digital Realty Trust, Inc. operates as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, and our Operating Partnership is the entity through which we conduct our business and own our assets.

Our primary business objectives are to maximize:

(i)sustainable long-term growth in earnings and funds from operations per share and unit;
(ii)cash flow and returns to our stockholders and Digital Realty Trust, L.P.’s unitholders through the payment of distributions; and
(iii)return on invested capital.

We expect to accomplish our objectives by achieving superior risk-adjusted returns, prudently allocating capital, diversifying our product offerings, accelerating our global reach and scale, and driving revenue growth and operating efficiencies. A significant component of our current and future internal growth is anticipated through the development of our existing space held for development, acquisition of land for future development, and acquisition of new properties.

Table of Contents

We target high-quality, strategically located properties containing the physical and connectivity infrastructure that supports the applications and operations of data center and technology industry customers and properties that may be developed for such use. Most of our data center properties contain fully redundant electrical supply systems, multiple power feeds, above-standard cooling systems, raised floor areas, extensive in-building communications cabling and high-level security systems. Fundamentally, we bring together foundational real estate and innovative technology expertise around the world to deliver a comprehensive, dedicated product suite to meet customers’ data and connectivity needs. We represent an important part of the digital economy that we believe will benefit from powerful, long-term growth drivers.

We have developed detailed, standardized procedures for evaluating new real estate investments to ensure that they meet our financial, technical and other criteria. We expect to continue to acquire additional assets as part of our growth strategy. We intend to aggressively manage and lease our assets to increase their cash flow. We may continue to build out our development portfolio when justified by anticipated demand and returns.

We may acquire properties subject to existing mortgage financing and other indebtedness or we may incur new indebtedness in connection with acquiring or refinancing these properties. Debt service on such indebtedness will have a priority over any cash dividends with respect to Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stock and preferred stock. We are committed to maintaining a conservative capital structure. Our goal is to average through business cycles the following financial ratios: 1) a debt-to-Adjusted EBITDA ratio around 5.5x, 2) a fixed charge coverage of greater than three times, and 3) floating rate debt at less than 20% of total outstanding debt. In addition, we strive to maintain a well-laddered debt maturity schedule, and we seek to maximize the menu of our available sources of capital, while minimizing the cost.

Changes in political conditions, geopolitical turmoil, political instability, civil disturbances, restrictive governmental actions or nationalization in the countries in which we operate, including escalations in political and trade tensions involving the U.S. and regulatory and legislative changes, could potentially result in adverse effects on our, and our customers’, operations.

Summary of 2024 Significant Activities

We completed the following significant activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2024:

In January 2024, we:
oformed a joint venture with Blackstone Inc. to develop four hyperscale data center campuses across Frankfurt, Paris and Northern Virginia. We received approximately $231 million of net proceeds from the contribution of our data centers to the first phase of the joint venture and retained a 20% interest in the joint venture.
oclosed on the sale of our interest in four data centers to Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P., or Brookfield, for approximately $271 million. The sale was completed subsequent to Brookfield’s November 2023 acquisition of one of our customers, Cyxtera Technologies. As a result of the sale, we recognized a total gain on disposition of approximately $203.1 million, of which $194.2 million is included within Gain on disposition of properties, net and $8.9 million is included within Equity in (loss) earnings of unconsolidated entities on our condensed consolidated income statements.
In March 2024, we formed a joint venture with Mitsubishi Corporation, or Mitsubishi, to support the development of two data centers in the Dallas metro area. The facilities were 100% pre-leased prior to construction. We contributed the two data center buildings at a contribution value of approximately $261 million. We received approximately $153 million of gross proceeds from the contribution of our data centers to the joint venture and retained a 35% interest in the joint venture. Mitsubishi contributed such cash in exchange for a 65% interest in the joint venture.

Table of Contents

In April 2024, we:
oexpanded our existing joint venture with GI Partners with the sale to GI Partners of a 75% interest in a third facility on the same hyperscale data center campus in Chicago. We contributed the data center at a value of approximately $453 million. We received approximately $386 million of net proceeds from the contribution of our data center to the joint venture and the associated financing and retained a 25% interest in the joint venture. As a result of transferring control, we derecognized the data center and recognized a gain on disposition of approximately $172 million.
ocompleted the sale of an additional 24.9% interest in a data center facility in Frankfurt, Germany to DCREIT for total consideration of approximately $126 million, and DCREIT now has a 49.9% interest in the Frankfurt data center. Because the Company still controls this asset, no gain or loss was recorded on this 49.9% interest. In connection with this transaction, DCREIT loaned the consolidated subsidiary that owns the data center approximately $80 million. As of September 30, 2024, DCREIT has loaned $160.4 million, which is secured by the Frankfurt data center and is recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheets within Accounts payable and other accrued liabilities.
In May 2024, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and Digital Realty Trust, L.P. entered into an underwriting agreement with BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters relating to the sale of up to approximately 12.1 million shares of common stock (including approximately 1.6 million shares that the underwriters had the option to purchase, and which option was exercised in full on May 8, 2024), at a purchase price to the underwriters of $136.66 per share. The offering closed on May 10, 2024, and we received net proceeds of approximately $1.7 billion.
In September 2024:
oDigital Dutch Finco B.V., an indirect wholly owned finance subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, issued and sold €850 million aggregate principal amount of 3.875% Guaranteed Notes due 2033 (the “2033 Notes”). Net proceeds from the offering were approximately €843 million (approximately $933 million based on the exchange rate on September 13, 2024) after deducting managers’ discounts and estimated offering expenses.
owe refinanced our Global Revolving Credit Facility and Yen Revolving Credit Facility. The Global Revolving Credit Facilities provide for borrowings up to $4.5 billion (including approximately $0.3 billion available to be drawn on the Yen Revolving Credit Facility) based on currency commitments and foreign exchange rates as of September 30, 2024. The Global Revolving Credit Facility provides for borrowings in a variety of currencies and can be increased by an additional $1.8 billion, subject to receipt of lender commitments and other conditions precedent. Both facilities mature on January 24, 2029, with two six-month extension options available.

Revenue Base

Most of our revenue consists of rental income generated by the data centers in our portfolio. Our ability to generate and grow revenue depends on several factors, including our ability to maintain or improve occupancy rates. A summary of our data center portfolio and related occupied square feet (in thousands) (excluding space under development or held for development) is shown below. Unconsolidated portfolios shown below consist of assets owned by unconsolidated entities in which we have invested. We often provide management services for these entities under management agreements and receive management fees. These are shown as Managed Unconsolidated Portfolio. Entities for which we do not provide such services are shown as Non-Managed Unconsolidated Portfolio.

Leasing Activities

Due to the capital-intensive and long-term nature of the operations we support, our lease terms with customers are generally longer than standard commercial leases. As of September 30, 2024, our average remaining lease term was approximately five years.

Our ability to re-lease expiring space at rental rates equal to or in excess of current rental rates will impact our results of operations. The subsequent table summarizes our leasing activity in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 (square feet in thousands):

(1)For some of our properties, we calculate square footage based on factors in addition to contractually leased square feet, including power, required support space and common area.
(2)Rental rates represent average annual estimated base cash rent per rentable square foot – calculated for each contract based on total cash base rent divided by the total number of years in the contract (including any tenant concessions). All rates were calculated in the local currency of each contract and then converted to USD based on average exchange rates for the period presented.
(3)Excludes short-term leases.
(4)Commencement dates for the leases signed range from 2024 to 2025.
(5)Includes leases signed for new and re-leased space.
(6)Other includes Powered Base Building shell capacity as well as storage and office space within fully improved data center facilities.

We continue to see strong demand in most of our key metropolitan areas for data center space and, subject to the supply of available data center space in these metropolitan areas, we expect average aggregate rental rates on renewed data center leases for 2024 expirations to be positive as compared with the rates currently being paid for the same space on a GAAP basis and on a cash basis. Our past performance may not be indicative of future results, and we cannot assure you that leases will be renewed or that our data centers will be re-leased at all or at rental rates equal to or above the current average rental rates. Further, re-leased/renewed rental rates in a particular metropolitan area may not be consistent with rental rates across our portfolio as a whole and may fluctuate from one period to another due to a number of factors, including local economic conditions, local supply and demand for data center space, competition from other data center developers or operators, the condition of the property and whether the property, or space within the property, has been developed.

(1)Annualized rent is monthly contractual rent (defined as cash base rent before abatements) under existing leases as of the end of the period presented, multiplied by 12. Includes consolidated portfolio and unconsolidated entities at the entities’ 100% ownership level. The aggregate amount of abatements for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was approximately $31.1 million.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses primarily consist of utilities, property and ad valorem taxes, property management fees, insurance and site maintenance costs, and rental expenses on our ground and building leases. Our buildings require significant power to support data center operations and the cost of electric power and other utilities is a significant component of operating expenses.

Many of our leases contain provisions under which tenants reimburse us for all or a portion of property operating expenses and real estate taxes incurred by us. However, in some cases we are not entitled to reimbursement of property operating expenses, other than utility expense, and real estate taxes under our leases for Turn-Key Flex® facilities. We expect to incur additional operating expenses as we continue to expand.

Costs pertaining to our asset management function, legal, accounting, corporate governance, reporting and compliance are categorized as general and administrative costs within operating expenses.

Other key components of operating expenses include depreciation of our fixed assets, amortization of intangible assets, and transaction and integration costs.

Other Income / (Expenses)

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities, gain on disposition of properties, interest expense, and income tax expense make up the majority of Other income/(expenses). Equity in earnings of unconsolidated entities represents our share of the income/(loss) of entities in which we invest, but do not consolidate under U.S. GAAP. The largest of these investments is currently our investment in Ascenty, which is located primarily in Latin America. Our second-largest equity-method investment is Digital Core REIT, which is publicly traded on the Singapore Exchange (“SGX”), and which owns a portfolio of 10 properties operating in the United States, Canada, Germany and Japan. Refer to additional discussion of Digital Core REIT and Ascenty in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

Results of Operations

As a result of the consistent and significant growth in our business since the first property acquisition in 2002, we evaluate period-to-period results for revenue and property level operating expenses on a stabilized versus non-stabilized portfolio basis.

Stabilized: The stabilized portfolio includes properties owned as of the beginning of all periods presented with less than 5% of total rentable square feet under development.

Non-stabilized: The non-stabilized portfolio includes: (1) properties that were undergoing, or were expected to undergo, development activities during any of the periods presented; (2) any properties contributed to joint ventures, sold, or held for sale during the periods presented; and (3) any properties that were acquired or delivered at any point during the periods presented.

A roll forward showing changes in the stabilized and non-stabilized portfolios for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to December 31, 2023 is shown below (in thousands):

Total operating revenues increased by approximately $28.8 million and $11.7 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023.

Stabilized rental and other services revenue decreased $35.8 million and $59.4 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023 primarily due to:

(i)a decrease of $50.2 million and $145.6 million, respectively, in utility reimbursement largely driven by power price decreases, mainly in EMEA and APAC;
(ii)a decrease of $5.2 million and an increase of $7.6 million, respectively, in other tenant reimbursements due to adjustments on property tax reimbursements based on new property tax assessments within the Chicago metro area, offset by a favorable property tax assessment at one of our North American properties realized in early 2023, which was passed through to our customers; and
(iii)offset by an increase of $19.6 million and $78.6 million, respectively, in new leasing and renewals across all regions.

Non-stabilized rental and other services revenue increased $54.9 million and $54.3 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023 primarily due to:

(i)an increase of $113.7 million and $296.4 million, respectively, due to the completion of our global development pipeline and related lease up operating activities (with the biggest contributions in Northern Virginia, Portland, New York, Johannesburg, Toronto, Zurich, Paris and Cape Town); and
(ii)offset by a decrease of $58.8 million and $242.1 million, respectively, related to properties sold or contributed after September 30, 2023.

Total Utilities

Total stabilized utilities expenses decreased by approximately $58.1 million and $148.4 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023 primarily due to lower power pricing at certain properties in the stabilized portfolio, mainly in EMEA and APAC.

Total non-stabilized utilities expenses increased by approximately $29.7 million and increased by approximately $38.5 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023 primarily due to:

(i)an increase of approximately $53.1 million and $117.4 million, respectively, due to higher utility consumption in a growing portfolio of recently completed development sites (with the biggest contributions in Northern Virginia, Portland, Zurich, Cape Town and Johannesburg);
(ii)a decrease in power agreement credits by $14.2 million and $26.0 million, respectively; and

(iii)offset by a decrease of $9.2 million and $52.9 million, respectively, related to properties sold or contributed after September 30, 2023.

The cost of electric power comprises a significant component of our operating expenses. Any additional taxation or regulation of energy use, including as a result of (i) new legislation that the U.S. Congress may pass, (ii) the regulations that the U.S. EPA has proposed or finalized, (iii) regulations under legislation that states have passed or may pass, or (iv) any further legislation or regulations in EMEA, APAC or other regions where we operate could significantly increase our costs, and we may not be able to effectively pass all of these costs on to our customers. These matters could adversely impact our business, results of operations, or financial condition.

Total Rental Property Operating and Maintenance (Excluding Utilities)

Total stabilized rental property operating and maintenance expenses (excluding utilities) increased by approximately $16.1 million and $34.8 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023 primarily due to an increase in common area maintenance expense and data center labor.

Total non-stabilized rental property operating and maintenance expenses (excluding utilities) increased by approximately $10.6 million and $4.4 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023 primarily due to an increase in data center labor expense throughout the portfolio.

Total Property Taxes and Insurance

Total stabilized property taxes and insurance decreased by approximately $3.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023, based on new property tax assessments within the Chicago metro area. Total stabilized property taxes and insurance increased by approximately $13.9 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 due to a favorable property tax assessment at one of our North American properties realized in early 2023.

Total non-stabilized property taxes and insurance decreased $22.6 million and $37.6 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023 primarily related to properties sold or contributed after September 30, 2023.

Other Operating Expenses

Other operating expenses include costs which are either non-cash in nature (such as depreciation and amortization) or which do not directly pertain to operation of data center properties. A comparison of other operating expenses for the respective periods is shown below (in thousands).

Equity in Earnings (Loss) of Unconsolidated Entities

The change in Equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated entities was approximately $6.7 million and $84.1 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2023. The foreign exchange remeasurement of debt associated with our unconsolidated Ascenty entity creates volatility in our equity in earnings and drove this fluctuation.

Gain on Disposition of Properties, Net

Gain on disposition of properties decreased approximately $811.2 million and $449.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same periods in 2023.

In January 2024, we closed on the sale of our interest in four data centers to Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P., or Brookfield, for approximately $271 million. As a result of the sale, we recognized a total gain on disposition of approximately $194.2 million.

53

Table of Contents

In March 2024, we recognized a total gain of $74.4 million from the sale of an easement to a local power provider in Northern Virginia.

In April 2024, we expanded our existing joint venture with GI Partners with the sale to GI Partners of a 75% interest in a third facility on the same hyperscale data center campus in Chicago. We contributed the data center at a value of approximately $453 million. We received approximately $386 million of net proceeds from the contribution of our data center to the joint venture and the associated financing and retained a 25% interest in the joint venture. As a result of transferring control, we derecognized the data center and recognized a gain on disposition of approximately $172 million.

In July 2023, we received approximately $0.7 billion of gross proceeds from the contribution of our data centers to the joint venture with GI Partners for a net gain on sale of approximately $238 million and we received approximately $1.4 billion of gross proceeds from the contribution of our data centers to the joint venture with TPG Real Estate for a net gain on sale of approximately $576 million.

In May 2023, we disposed of a non-core asset, resulting in a net gain on sale of $90 million.

Loss on Debt Extinguishment and Modifications

Loss on debt extinguishment and modifications increased approximately $2.6 million and $3.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, as compared to the same periods in 2023.

In January 2024, we paid down $240 million on the U.S. term loan facility, leaving $500 million outstanding. The paydown resulted in an early extinguishment charge of approximately $1.1 million.

In September 2024, we paid down €375 million on the Euro Term Loan Facilities, leaving €375 million outstanding. The paydown resulted in an early extinguishment charge of approximately $1.6 million. We also refinanced our Global Revolving Credit Facilities and wrote off deferred loan costs of approximately $1.2 million.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased approximately $13.0 million and $24.0 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023 driven primarily by increased borrowings at Teraco.

Income Tax Expense

Income tax expense decreased by approximately $4.8 million and $5.0 million in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2023 due to jurisdictional rate mix in foreign jurisdictions. We carried out an analysis for the purposes of the Model GloBE Rules for Pillar Two and no material top-up tax is expected.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The sections “Analysis of Liquidity and Capital Resources — Parent” and “Analysis of Liquidity and Capital Resources — Operating Partnership” should be read in conjunction with one another to understand our liquidity and capital resources on a consolidated basis. The term “Parent” refers to Digital Realty Trust, Inc. on an unconsolidated basis, excluding our Operating Partnership. The term “Operating Partnership” or “OP” refers to Digital Realty Trust, L.P. on a consolidated basis.

Table of Contents

Analysis of Liquidity and Capital Resources — Parent

Our Parent does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing public equity from time to time, incurring certain expenses in operating as a public company (which are fully reimbursed by the Operating Partnership) and guaranteeing certain unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries and affiliates. If our Operating Partnership or such subsidiaries fail to fulfill their debt requirements, which trigger Parent guarantee obligations, then our Parent will be required to fulfill its cash payment commitments under such guarantees. Our Parent’s only material asset is its investment in our Operating Partnership.

Our Parent’s principal funding requirement is the payment of dividends on its common and preferred stock. Our Parent’s principal source of funding is the distributions it receives from our Operating Partnership.

As the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership, our Parent has the full, exclusive and complete responsibility for our Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management and control. Our Parent causes our Operating Partnership to distribute such portion of its available cash as our Parent may in its discretion determine, in the manner provided in our Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement.

As circumstances warrant, our Parent may issue equity from time to time on an opportunistic basis, dependent upon market conditions and available pricing. Any proceeds from such equity issuances would generally be contributed to our Operating Partnership in exchange for additional equity interests in our Operating Partnership. Our Operating Partnership may use the proceeds to acquire additional properties, to fund development opportunities and for general working capital purposes, including potentially for the repurchase, redemption or retirement of outstanding debt or equity securities.

Our Parent and our Operating Partnership were parties to an ATM Equity OfferingSM Sales Agreement dated August 4, 2023 (the “2023 Sales Agreement”). Pursuant to the 2023 Sales Agreement, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. could issue and sell common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $1.5 billion through various named agents from time to time. From January 1, 2024 through February 23, 2024, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. generated net proceeds of approximately $99 million from the issuance of approximately 0.6 million common shares under the 2023 Sales Agreement at an average price of $133.43 per share after payment of approximately $0.6 million of commissions to the agents.

The 2023 Sales Agreement was amended on February 23, 2024 (the “2024 Sales Agreement Amendment”). At the time of the amendment, $258.3 million remained unsold under the 2023 Sales Agreement. Pursuant to the 2024 Sales Agreement Amendment, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. can issue and sell common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $2.0 billion through various named agents from time to time. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. generated net proceeds of approximately $983 million from the issuance of approximately 6.4 million common shares under the 2024 Sales Agreement Amendment at an average price of $154.84 per share before payment of approximately $9.9 million of commissions to the agents. Subsequent to September 30, 2024, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. generated net proceeds of approximately $62 million from the issuance of approximately 0.4 million common shares under the 2024 Sales Agreement Amendment at an average price of $160.81 per share after payment of approximately $0.6 million of commissions to the agents. As of October 30, 2024, approximately $0.9 billion remains available for future sales under the 2024 Sales Agreement Amendment.

The sales of common stock made under the 2024 Sales Agreement Amendment will be made in “at the market” offerings as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act. Our Parent has used and intends to use the net proceeds from the program to temporarily repay borrowings under our Operating Partnership’s Global Revolving Credit Facilities, to acquire additional properties or businesses, to fund development opportunities and for working capital and other general corporate purposes, including potentially for the repayment of other debt or the repurchase, redemption or retirement of outstanding debt securities.

Table of Contents

On May 7, 2024, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. and Digital Realty Trust, L.P. entered into an underwriting agreement with BofA Securities, Inc., Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as representatives of the several underwriters relating to the sale of up to approximately 12.1 million shares of common stock (including approximately 1.6 million shares that the underwriters had the option to purchase, and which option was exercised in full on May 8, 2024), at a purchase price to the underwriters of $136.66 per share. The offering closed on May 10, 2024, and we received net proceeds of approximately $1.7 billion.

We believe our Operating Partnership’s sources of working capital, specifically its cash flow from operations, and funds available under its Global Revolving Credit Facility are adequate for it to make its distribution payments to our Parent and, in turn, for our Parent to make its dividend payments to its stockholders. However, we cannot assure you that our Operating Partnership’s sources of capital will continue to be available at all or in amounts sufficient to meet its needs, including making distribution payments to our Parent. The lack of availability of capital could adversely affect our Operating Partnership’s ability to pay its distributions to our Parent, which would in turn, adversely affect our Parent’s ability to pay cash dividends to its stockholders.

Future Uses of Cash — Parent

Our Parent may from time to time seek to retire, redeem or repurchase its equity or the debt securities of our Operating Partnership or its subsidiaries through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases, redemptions or exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions or other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Dividends and Distributions — Parent

Our Parent is required to distribute 90% of its taxable income (excluding capital gains) on an annual basis to continue to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Our Parent intends to make, but is not contractually bound to make, regular quarterly distributions to its common stockholders from cash flow from our Operating Partnership’s operating activities. While historically our Parent has satisfied this distribution requirement by making cash distributions to its stockholders, it may choose to satisfy this requirement by making distributions of cash or other property. All such distributions are at the discretion of our Parent’s Board of Directors. Our Parent considers market factors and our Operating Partnership’s performance in addition to REIT requirements in determining distribution levels. Our Parent has distributed at least 100% of its taxable income annually since inception to minimize corporate level federal and state income taxes. Amounts accumulated for distribution to stockholders are invested primarily in interest-bearing accounts and short-term interest-bearing securities, in a manner consistent with our intention to maintain our Parent’s status as a REIT.

As a result of this distribution requirement, our Operating Partnership cannot rely on retained earnings to fund its ongoing operations to the same extent that other companies whose parent companies are not REITs can. Our Parent may need to continue to raise capital in the debt and equity markets to fund our Operating Partnership’s working capital needs, as well as potential developments at new or existing properties, acquisitions or investments in existing or newly created joint ventures. In addition, our Parent may be required to use borrowings under the Operating Partnership’s Global Revolving Credit Facility (which is guaranteed by our Parent), if necessary, to meet REIT distribution requirements and maintain our Parent’s REIT status.

56

Table of Contents

Distributions out of our Parent’s current or accumulated earnings and profits are generally classified as ordinary income except to the extent that our Parent recognizes capital gains and declares a capital gains dividend, or that such amounts constitute “qualified dividend income” subject to a reduced rate of tax. Non-corporate stockholders, including individuals, generally may deduct up to 20% of dividends from a REIT, other than capital gain dividends and dividends treated as qualified dividend income, for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2026. Distributions in excess of our Parent’s current and accumulated earnings and profits are generally classified as a return of capital to the extent of a stockholder’s U.S. federal income tax basis in our Parent’s stock. Distributions in excess of our Parent’s current and accumulated earnings and profits and in excess of a stockholder’s U.S. federal income tax basis in our Parent’s stock are generally characterized as capital gain. Cash provided by operating activities has been generally sufficient to fund distributions on an annual basis. However, we may also need to utilize borrowings under the Global Revolving Credit Facility to fund distributions.

For additional information regarding dividends declared and paid by our Parent on its common and preferred stock for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, see Note 10. “Equity and Capital” to our condensed consolidated financial statements contained herein.

Analysis of Liquidity and Capital Resources — Operating Partnership

As of September 30, 2024, we had $2,175.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, excluding $6.5 million of restricted cash. Restricted cash primarily consists of contractual capital expenditures plus other deposits. As circumstances warrant, our Operating Partnership may dispose of assets or enter into joint venture arrangements with institutional investors or strategic partners, on an opportunistic basis dependent upon market conditions. Our Operating Partnership may use the proceeds from such dispositions to acquire additional properties, to fund development opportunities and for general working capital purposes, including the repayment of indebtedness. Our liquidity requirements primarily consist of:

operating expenses;
development costs and other expenditures associated with our properties;
distributions to our Parent to enable it to make dividend payments;
distributions to unitholders of common limited partnership interests in Digital Realty Trust, L.P.;
debt service; and
potentially, acquisitions.

On September 24, 2024, we refinanced our Global Revolving Credit Facility and Yen Revolving Credit Facility. The Global Revolving Credit Facilities provide for borrowings up to $4.5 billion (including approximately $0.3 billion available to be drawn on the Yen Revolving Credit Facility) based on currency commitments and foreign exchange rates as of September 30, 2024. The Global Revolving Credit Facility provides for borrowings in a variety of currencies and can be increased by an additional $1.8 billion, subject to receipt of lender commitments and other conditions precedent. Both facilities mature on January 24, 2029, with two six-month extension options available.

These facilities also feature a sustainability-linked pricing component, with pricing subject to adjustment based on annual performance targets, further demonstrating our continued leadership and commitment to sustainable business practices.

The Global Revolving Credit Facility provides for borrowings in a variety of currencies and includes the ability to add additional currencies in the future. We have used and intend to use available borrowings under the Global Revolving Credit Facilities to acquire additional properties, fund development opportunities and for general working capital and other corporate purposes, including potentially for the repurchase, redemption or retirement of outstanding debt or equity securities.

Future Uses of Cash

Our properties require periodic investments of capital for customer-related capital expenditures and for general capital improvements. Depending upon customer demand, we expect to incur significant improvement costs to build out and develop additional capacity. At September 30, 2024, we had open commitments, related to construction contracts of approximately $1.9 billion, including amounts reimbursable of approximately $62.5 million.

We currently expect to incur approximately $0.4 billion to $0.6 billion of capital expenditures for our consolidated development programs during the remainder of 2024. This amount could go up or down, potentially materially, based on numerous factors, including changes in demand, leasing results and availability of debt or equity capital.

Development Projects

The costs we incur to develop our properties is a key component of our liquidity requirements. The following table summarizes our cumulative investments in current development projects as well as expected future investments in these projects as of the periods presented, excluding costs incurred or to be incurred by unconsolidated entities.

Our development capital expenditures are generally funded by our available cash and equity and debt capital.

Indirect costs, including interest, capitalized in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 were $166.7 million and $155.1 million, respectively. Capitalized interest comprised approximately $84.4 million and $83.8 million of the total indirect costs capitalized for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Capitalized interest in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased, compared to the same period in 2023, due to an increase in qualifying activities and higher interest rates.

Excluding capitalized interest, indirect costs in the nine months ended September 30, 2024 increased compared to the same period in 2023 due primarily to capitalized amounts relating to compensation expense of employees directly engaged in construction activities. See “Future Uses of Cash” for a discussion of the amount of capital expenditures we expect to incur during the year ending December 31, 2024.

Consistent with our growth strategy, we actively pursue potential acquisition opportunities, with due diligence and negotiations often at different stages at different times. The dollar value of acquisitions for the year ending December 31, 2024 will depend upon numerous factors, including customer demand, leasing results, availability of debt or equity capital and acquisition opportunities. Further, the growing acceptance by private institutional investors of the data center asset class has generally pushed capitalization rates lower, as such private investors may often have lower return expectations than us. As a result, we anticipate near-term single asset acquisitions activity to comprise a smaller percentage of our growth while this market dynamic persists.

We may from time to time seek to retire or repurchase our outstanding debt or the equity of our Parent through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity securities of our Parent in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will depend upon prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions or other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Sources of Cash

We expect to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, including payment of scheduled debt maturities and funding of acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements, with net cash from operations, future long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness and the issuance of equity and debt securities and the proceeds of equity issuances by our Parent. We also may fund future short-term and long-term liquidity requirements, including acquisitions and non-recurring capital improvements, using our Global Revolving Credit Facilities pending permanent financing. As of October 29, 2024, we had approximately $2.5 billion of borrowings available under our Global Revolving Credit Facilities.

On September 13, 2024, Digital Dutch Finco B.V., an indirect wholly owned finance subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, issued and sold €850 million aggregate principal amount of 3.875% Guaranteed Notes due 2033. Net proceeds from the offering were approximately €843 million (approximately $933 million based on the exchange rate on September 13, 2024) after deducting managers’ discounts and estimated offering expenses. We used the net proceeds from the offering to pay down a portion of our Euro Term Loan Facilities, temporarily repay borrowings under our Global Revolving Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes.

On July 13, 2023, we formed a joint venture with GI Partners, and GI Partners acquired a 65% interest in two stabilized hyperscale data center buildings in the Chicago metro area that we contributed. We retained a 35% interest in the joint venture. As a result of transferring control, we derecognized the data centers. In addition, GI Partners had a call option to increase their ownership interest in the joint venture from 65% to 80%. The call option top-up election notice was delivered to the Company on December 21, 2023. On January 12, 2024, GI Partners made an additional cash capital contribution, pursuant to the exercise of such call option, in the amount of $68 million, resulting in such additional 15% ownership in the joint venture. Currently, GI Partners has an 80% interest in the joint venture, and we have retained a 20% interest.

We also granted GI Partners an option to purchase an interest in the third facility on the same hyperscale data center campus in Chicago. On April 16, 2024, we expanded our existing joint venture with GI Partners with the sale to GI Partners of a 75% interest in this third facility. We received approximately $386 million of net proceeds from the contribution of our data center to the joint venture and the associated financing and retained a 25% interest in the joint venture.

On January 11, 2024, we formed a joint venture with Blackstone Inc. to develop four hyperscale data center campuses across Frankfurt, Paris and Northern Virginia. The campuses are planned to support the construction of 10 data centers with approximately 500 megawatts of potential IT load capacity. The first phase of the joint venture closed on hyperscale data center campuses in Paris and Northern Virginia, while the second phase is scheduled to close in the fourth quarter of 2024, subject to obtaining the required approvals. We received approximately $231 million of net proceeds from the contribution of our data centers to the first phase of the joint venture and retained a 20% interest in the joint venture. Each partner funded its pro rata share of the remaining $3.0 billion estimated development cost for the first phase of the joint venture, which is slated for completion in various stages, contingent on customer demand, which began in the first quarter of 2024.

In January 2024, we closed on the sale of our interest in four data centers to Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P., or Brookfield, for approximately $271 million. Two of the data centers were consolidated by us; while two of the data centers were owned by Digital Core REIT. The sale was completed subsequent to Brookfield’s November 2023 acquisition of one of our customers, Cyxtera Technologies. The acquisition was part of Cyxtera’s plan of reorganization under its Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. In conjunction with the sale, we bought out Cyxtera’s leases in three data centers located in Singapore and Frankfurt for approximately $57 million. In addition, Brookfield assumed the leases on three facilities previously leased to Cyxtera and amended the leases on three additional data centers in North America, accelerating the expiration date to September 2024. As a result of the sale, we recognized a total gain on disposition of approximately $203.1 million, of which $194.2 million is included within Gain on disposition of properties, net and $8.9 million is included within Equity in (loss) earnings of unconsolidated entities on our condensed consolidated income statements.

On March 1, 2024, we formed a joint venture with Mitsubishi Corporation, or Mitsubishi, to support the development of two data centers in the Dallas metro area. The facilities were 100% pre-leased prior to construction. We contributed the two data center buildings at a contribution value of approximately $261 million. We received approximately $153 million of gross proceeds from the contribution of our data centers to the joint venture and retained a 35% interest in the joint venture. Mitsubishi contributed such cash in exchange for a 65% interest in the joint venture. Each partner funded its pro rata share of the remaining $140 million estimated development cost for the first phase of the project, of which one project has been completed in June 2024 and another is slated for completion in late 2024.

On April 16, 2024, we expanded our existing joint venture with GI Partners with the sale to GI Partners of a 75% interest in a third facility on the same hyperscale data center campus in Chicago. We contributed the data center at a value of approximately $453 million. We received approximately $386 million of net proceeds from the contribution of our data center to the joint venture and the associated financing and retained a 25% interest in the joint venture. As a result of transferring control, we derecognized the data center and recognized a gain on disposition of approximately $172 million.

Our ratio of debt to total enterprise value was approximately 23% (based on the closing price of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stock on September 30, 2024 of $161.83). For this purpose, our total enterprise value is defined as the sum of the market value of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s outstanding common stock (which may decrease, thereby increasing our debt to total enterprise value ratio), plus the liquidation value of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s preferred stock, plus the aggregate value of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. units not held by Digital Realty Trust, Inc. (with the per unit value equal to the market value of one share of Digital Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stock and excluding long-term incentive units, Class C units and Class D units), plus the book value of our total consolidated indebtedness.

The variable rate debt shown above bears interest based on various one-month SOFR, EURIBOR, HIBOR, TIBOR, SARON and Base CD Rate rates, depending on the respective agreement governing the debt, including our Global Revolving Credit Facilities and unsecured term loans. As of September 30, 2024, our debt had a weighted average term to initial maturity of approximately 4.3 years (or approximately 4.5 years assuming exercise of extension options).

As of September 30, 2024, our pro-rata share of secured debt of unconsolidated entities was approximately $1,479.5 million.

Noncontrolling Interests in Operating Partnership

Noncontrolling interests relate to the common units in Digital Realty Trust, L.P. that are not owned by Digital Realty Trust, Inc., which, as of September 30, 2024, amounted to 1.9% of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. common units. Historically, Digital Realty Trust, L.P. has issued common units to third party sellers in connection with our acquisition of real estate interests from such third parties.

Limited partners have the right to require Digital Realty Trust, L.P. to redeem part or all of their common units for cash based on the fair market value of an equivalent number of shares of Digital Realty Trust, Inc. common stock at the time of redemption. Alternatively, Digital Realty Trust, Inc. may elect to acquire those common units in exchange for shares of its common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, issuance of stock rights, specified extraordinary distributions and similar events. As of September 30, 2024, approximately 0.2 million common units and incentive units of Digital Realty Trust, L.P. are classified within equity, except for certain common units issued to certain former DuPont Fabros Technology, L.P. unitholders in the Company’s acquisition of DuPont Fabros Technology, Inc., which are subject to certain restrictions and, accordingly, are not presented as permanent equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

Inflation

Many of our leases provide for separate real estate tax and operating expense escalations. In addition, many of the leases provide for fixed base rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases may be at least partially offset by the contractual rent increases and expense escalations described above. A period of inflation, however, could cause an increase in the cost of our variable-rate borrowings, including borrowings under our Global Revolving Credit Facilities, borrowings under our Euro Term Loan Facilities and USD Term Loan Facility and issuances of unsecured senior notes.

Funds from Operations

We calculate funds from operations, or FFO, in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (Nareit) in the Nareit Funds From Operations White Paper - 2018 Restatement. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure and represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gain (loss) from the disposition of real estate assets, provision for impairment, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), our share of unconsolidated JV real estate related depreciation & amortization, net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in operating partnership and, depreciation related to noncontrolling interests. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our data centers that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and capitalized leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our data centers, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our financial condition and results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ FFO. FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance.

(2)As part of the acquisition of Teraco in 2022, certain of Teraco's minority indirect shareholders have the right to put their shares in an upstream parent company of Teraco to the Company in exchange for cash or the equivalent value of shares of the Company common stock, or a combination thereof. U.S. GAAP requires the Company to assume the put right is settled in shares for purposes of calculating diluted EPS. This same approach was utilized to calculate FFO per share. When calculating diluted FFO, Teraco related minority interest is added back to the FFO numerator as the denominator assumes all shares have been put back to the Company. The Teraco noncontrolling share of FFO was $9,828 and $11,537 for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $32,049 and $32,251 for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments depend upon prevalent market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and only enter into contracts with major financial institutions based on their credit ratings and other factors.

Analysis of Debt between Fixed and Variable Rate

Interest risk amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Further, in the event of a change of that magnitude, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in our financial structure.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We are subject to risk from the effects of exchange rate movements of a variety of foreign currencies, which may affect future costs and cash flows. Our primary currency exposures are to the Euro, Japanese yen, British pound sterling, Singapore dollar, South African rand and Brazilian real. Our exposure to foreign exchange risk related to the Brazilian real is limited to the impact that currency has on our share of the Ascenty entity’s operations and financial position. We attempt to mitigate a portion of the risk of currency fluctuations by financing our investments in local currency denominations in order to reduce our exposure to any foreign currency transaction gains or losses resulting from transactions entered into in currencies other than the functional currencies of the associated entities. We also utilize cross-currency interest rate swaps, designated as net investment hedges, which effectively convert a portion of our U.S. dollar-denominated fixed-rate debt to foreign currency-denominated fixed-rate debt, to hedge the currency exposure associated with our net investment in our foreign subsidiaries. In addition, we may also hedge well-defined transactional exposures with foreign currency forwards or options, although there can be no assurances that these will be effective. As a result, changes in the relation of any such foreign currency to U.S. dollar may affect our revenues, operating margins and distributions and may also affect the book value of our assets and the amount of stockholders’ equity.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures (Digital Realty Trust, Inc.)

The Company maintains disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in its reports filed under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to its management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, the Company’s management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and its management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Also, the Company has investments in certain unconsolidated entities, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. As the Company does not control or manage these entities, its disclosure controls and procedures with respect to such entities may be substantially more limited than those it maintains with respect to its consolidated subsidiaries.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) or Rule 15d-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, management of the Company carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with participation of its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures that were in effect as of the end of the quarter covered by this report. Based on the foregoing, the Company’s chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during its most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

Swing Line Facility, (E) the Unused Australian Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders with Australian Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments at such time with respect to Swing Line Advances under the Australian Swing Line Facility and (F) the Unused Singapore Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders with Singapore Dollar Revolving Credit Commitments at such time with respect to Swing Line Advances under the Singapore Swing Line Facility.  Swing Line Advances under (I) the U.S. Dollar Swing Line Facility shall be made as Base Rate Advances, (II) the Multicurrency Swing Line Facility in Euro and Canadian Dollars shall be made as Floating Rate Advances, (III) the Multicurrency Swing Line Facility in Sterling shall be made as Daily RFR Advances, (IV) the Singapore Swing Line Facility in Singapore Dollars shall be made as Daily RFR Advances, (V) the Singapore Swing Line Facility in Hong Kong Dollars shall be made as Floating Rate Advances, (VI) the Australian Swing Line Facility shall be made as Floating Rate Advances, (VII) the KRW-A Swing Line Facility and the KRW-B Swing Line Facility shall be made as Floating Rate Advances and (VIII) any other Swing Line Facility shall be made as Floating Rate Advances or as otherwise specified in the applicable Supplemental Addendum.  No Swing Line Advance shall be used for the purpose of funding the payment of principal of any other Swing Line Advance.  Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be in an amount of the Swing Line Borrowing Minimum or an integral multiple equal to the Swing Line Borrowing Multiple in excess thereof.  Within the limits of each Swing Line Facility and within the limits referred to in clauses (ii) and (iii) above, the Borrowers may borrow under this Section 2.01(c), repay pursuant to Section 2.04(b) or prepay pursuant to Section 2.05(a) and reborrow under this Section 2.01(c).  If any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, if any Swing Line Advance is at the time outstanding, any applicable Swing Line Bank may (except, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, to the extent the Commitments have been fully reallocated pursuant to Section 2.21), by written notice to the Borrowers and such Defaulting Lender through the Administrative Agent, require the Borrowers to Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrowers to such Swing Line Bank in respect of such Swing Line Advance in amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender to be applied pro rata in respect thereof, or to make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and to such Swing Line Bank in its reasonable discretion to protect such Swing Line Bank against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender.  In furtherance of the foregoing, if any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, each Swing Line Bank is hereby authorized by the Borrowers (which authorization is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to give, in its discretion, through the Administrative Agent, Notices of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(a) in such amounts and in such times as may be required to (i) repay an outstanding Swing Line Advance, and/or (ii) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the applicable Borrowers in respect of outstanding Swing Line Advances in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender in respect of such Swing Line Advance.
SECTION 2.02.Making the Advances; Applicable Borrowers.  (b)  Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.03, each Borrowing (other than Swing Line Borrowings) shall be made on notice, given not later than the applicable Notice of Borrowing Deadline by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent, and with respect to the initial Borrowing, such notice may be provided to the Administrative Agent prior to the date hereof.  The Administrative Agent shall provide each relevant Lender with prompt notice thereof by email.  Each such notice of a Borrowing (other than Swing Line Borrowings) (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be in writing and sent by email in substantially the form of Exhibit B-1, Exhibit B-2 or Exhibit B-3, as applicable, hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Tranche under which such Borrowing is requested, (iii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iv) aggregate amount of such Borrowing, (v) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Floating Rate Advances, the initial Interest Period for each such Advance, (vi) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Daily RFR Advances, the tenor of such Advances, (vii) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Multicurrency Revolving Credit Advances, Australian Dollar Revolving Credit Advances, Singapore Dollar Revolving Credit Advances or Supplemental Tranche Advances, the currency of such Advances, (viii) the applicable Borrower or Borrowers proposing such Borrowing, and (ix) the portion of funds from such Borrowing to be applied to the repayment of Swing Line Advances (including the currency thereof) and the interest accrued and unpaid thereon in accordance with the last sentence of this Section 2.02(a).  In addition, in the case of a Borrowing under the KRW-A Revolving Credit Tranche or the KRW-B Revolving


Credit Tranche, the Notice of Borrowing shall specify the maturity of such Borrowing and the purpose of such Borrowing and in the case of a Borrowing under the KRW-B Revolving Credit Tranche with respect to Korean Capital Expenditures, the Notice of Borrowing shall be delivered together with any applicable Korean Capital Expenditures Documentation.  Each Lender with a Commitment in respect of the applicable Tranche shall, before the applicable Funding Deadline make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing in accordance with the respective Commitments of such Lender and the other Lenders in respect of the applicable Tranche.  After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the applicable Borrower by crediting the Borrower’s Account; provided, however, that for each Borrowing, if requested by the applicable Borrower in its Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall first make a portion of such funds equal to the aggregate principal amount of any Swing Line Advances made by the applicable Swing Line Bank and by any other Lender and outstanding on the date of such Borrowing, plus interest accrued and unpaid thereon to and as of such date, available to the applicable Swing Line Bank and such other Lenders for repayment of such Swing Line Advances.

(a)Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than the Swing Line Deadline on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing, by the applicable Borrower to (x) the applicable Swing Line Bank and the Administrative Agent in the case of any such Borrowing in Euros or Sterling under the Multicurrency Swing Line Facility and (y) the applicable Swing Line Bank and the Administrative Agent in the case of any other Borrowing under a Swing Line Facility.  Each such notice of a Swing Line Borrowing (a “Notice of Swing Line Borrowing”) shall be by (1) email (in the case of the Singapore Swing Line Facility, the Australian Swing Line Facility, the KRW-A Swing Line Facility and the KRW-B Swing Line Facility), (2) email (in the case of any such Borrowing in Euros or Sterling under the Multicurrency Swing Line Facility or any such Borrowing under the U.S. Dollar Swing Line Facility, the KRW-A Swing Line Facility or the KRW-B Swing Line Facility) and (3) email (in the case of any such Borrowing in Canadian Dollars under the Multicurrency Swing Line Facility) specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) amount of such Borrowing, (iii) maturity of such Borrowing (which maturity shall be no later than the earlier of (A) the fourteenth Business Day after the requested date of such Borrowing and (B) the Termination Date), (iv) the currency of such Borrowing, and (v) the Borrower proposing such Borrowing.  In addition, in the case of a Swing Line Borrowing under the KRW-A Swing Line Facility or the KRW-B Swing Line Facility, the Notice of Swing Line Borrowing shall specify the purpose of such Borrowing and in the case of a Swing Line Borrowing under the KRW-B Swing Line Facility with respect to Korean Capital Expenditures, the Notice of Swing Line Borrowing shall be delivered together with any applicable Korean Capital Expenditures Documentation.  Based on such notice received by the Administrative Agent or the applicable Swing Line Bank, as applicable, shall, before the Swing Line Availability Time, make the amount thereof available to the applicable Borrower by crediting a Borrower’s Account maintained by the applicable Borrower in same day funds except to the extent that the Administrative Agent or such Swing Line Bank, as applicable, has actual knowledge of a Default or Event of Default that has occurred and is then continuing.  Upon written demand by the applicable Swing Line Bank, with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent, each (A) U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender with respect to the U.S. Dollar Swing Line Facility, (B) Multicurrency Revolving Lender with respect to the Multicurrency Swing Line Facility, (C) KRW-A Revolving Lender with respect to the KRW-A Swing Line Facility, (D) KRW-B Revolving Lender with respect to the KRW-B Swing Line Facility, (E) Australian Dollar Revolving Lender with respect to the Australian Swing Line Facility and (F) Singapore Dollar Revolving Lender with respect to the Singapore Swing Line Facility, shall purchase from such Swing Line Bank, and such Swing Line Bank shall sell and assign to each such Lender, such Lender’s Applicable Pro Rata Share of an outstanding Swing Line Advance as of the date of such demand, by making available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Swing Line Bank, by deposit to the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Swing Line Advance to be purchased by such Lender; provided that any such demand in the case of the KRW-A Swing Line Facility or the KRW-B Swing Line Facility shall include a copy of the related Notice of Swing Line Borrowing and documentation submitted by the


applicable Borrower therewith.  The Borrowers hereby agree to each such sale and assignment.  Each such Lender agrees to purchase its Applicable Pro Rata Share of an outstanding Swing Line Advance (i)(x) on the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by such Swing Line Bank in the case of the U.S. Dollar Swing Line Facility or (y)  no later than three Business Days after the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by such Swing Line Bank in respect of each other Swing Line Facility, provided that, in each case, notice of such demand is given not later than the applicable Swing Line Purchasing Notice Deadline, or (ii) the first Business Day next succeeding the funding date set forth in the applicable notice of demand if such notice of such demand is given after any applicable Swing Line Purchasing Notice Deadline.  Upon any such assignment by any Swing Line Bank to any other Lender of a portion of a Swing Line Advance, the applicable Swing Line Bank represents and warrants to such other Lender that such Swing Line Bank is the legal and beneficial owner of such interest being assigned by it, but makes no other representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to such Swing Line Advance, the Loan Documents or any Loan Party.  If and to the extent that any Lender shall not have so made the amount of such Swing Line Advance available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by the applicable Swing Line Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the cost of funds incurred by the applicable Swing Line Bank in respect of such amount.  If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of the applicable Swing Line Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Swing Line Advance made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Advance made by the applicable Swing Line Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day.
(b)Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) no Borrower may select Eurocurrency Rate Advances for any Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less than the Revolving Credit Borrowing Minimum, (ii) no Borrower may select Eurocurrency Rate Advances if the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.07(d)(i), 2.07(f), 2.09 or 2.10, and (iii) there may not be more than fifty (50) separate Interest Periods and Daily RFR Borrowings outstanding at any time in the aggregate.  If the Interest Periods of two or more Floating Rate Advances within a single Tranche denominated in the same currency end on the same date, those Floating Rate Advances will be consolidated into, and treated as, a single Floating Rate Advance on the last day of the Interest Period.
(c)Each Notice of Borrowing and Notice of Swing Line Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers.  In the case of any Borrowing other than the Borrowing of a Base Rate Advance or a Daily RFR Borrowing, the Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.
(d)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to (w) the date of any Borrowing consisting of Advances under the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche (other than Base Rate Advances), (x) 12:00 P.M. (Hong Kong time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of any Borrowing consisting of Advances under the Australian Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche, the Singapore Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche, IDR Revolving Credit Tranche, the KRW-A Revolving Credit Tranche or the KRW-B Revolving Credit Tranche, (y) 12:00 P.M. (London time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of any Borrowing consisting of Advances under the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Tranche or (z) 2:00 P.M.(New York City time) on the date of any Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent


on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and, the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, notwithstanding the last sentence of Section 2.02(a), make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.  If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to repay or pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount and to pay interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to any Borrower until the date such amount is repaid or paid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrowers, the higher of (A) the interest rate applicable at such time under Section 2.07 to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (B) the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent in respect of such amount in the case of Advances denominated in Committed Foreign Currencies and (ii) in the case of such Lender, (A) the Federal Funds Rate in the case of Advances under the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche or (B) the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent in respect of such amount in the case of all other Advances.  If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for all purposes.
(e)The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.
(f)The Borrowers irrevocably and for value authorize each Australian Dollar Revolving Lender (at the option of such Lender) from time to time (i) to prepare reliquification bills of exchange in relation to any Australian Dollar Revolving Credit Advance and (ii) to sign them as drawer or endorser in the name of and on behalf of any Borrower (provided that the relevant Borrower’s obligations as drawer or endorser under any such reliquification bill is non-recourse).  The total face amount of reliquification bills prepared by any such Lender and outstanding in relation to any such Advance must not at any time exceed (A) such Lender’s share of the principal amount of such Advance plus (B) the total interest on that share over the relevant Interest Period.  Reliquification bills must mature on or before the last day of the relevant Interest Period.  Each such Lender may realize or deal with any reliquification bill prepared by it as it thinks fit.  Each such Lender shall indemnify the Borrowers on demand against all liabilities, costs and expenses incurred by any Borrower by reason of it being a party to a reliquification bill prepared by such Lender.  The immediately preceding sentence shall not affect any obligation of the Borrowers under any Loan Document.  In particular, the obligations of the Borrowers to make payments under the Loan Documents are not in any way affected by any liability of any Lender, contingent or otherwise, under the indemnity in this Section 2.02(g).  If a reliquification bill prepared by any such Lender is presented to a Borrower and such Borrower discharges it by payment, the amount of that payment will be deemed to have been applied against the moneys payable to such Lender hereunder.  Only an Australian Dollar Revolving Lender will have recourse to any Borrower under any reliquification bill.
(g)All Advances under the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche or any Subfacility thereunder shall be advanced to one or more U.S. Borrowers.  All Advances under the Singapore Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche or any Subfacility thereunder shall be advanced to one or more Singapore Borrowers.  All Advances under the Australian Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche or any Subfacility thereunder shall be advanced to one or more Australia Borrowers.  All Advances under the IDR Revolving Credit Tranche or any Subfacility thereunder shall be advanced to one or more IDR Borrowers.  All Advances under the KRW-A Revolving Credit Tranche or any Subfacility thereunder shall be advanced to one or more KRW-A Borrowers.  All Advances under the KRW-B Revolving Credit Tranche or any Subfacility thereunder shall be advanced to one or more KRW-B Borrowers.  All Advances under the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Tranche or any Subfacility thereunder shall be advanced to one or more Multicurrency Borrowers.  All Supplemental Tranche Advances shall be advanced to one or more Supplemental Borrowers that are Borrowers under the applicable Supplemental Tranche.  Each Borrower shall be liable for the Advances made to such Borrower only, provided that (x) if an Advance is made to more than one Borrower, all such Borrowers shall be jointly and severally liable with respect to such Advance


and (y) nothing in this sentence shall impair or limit the liability or obligations of the Operating Partnership in its capacity as a Guarantor hereunder.
(h)Each Lender may, at its option, make any Advance available to any Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Advance; provided, however, that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of such Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) nothing in this Section 2.02(i) shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Advance in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation or warranty by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Advance in any particular place or manner.
SECTION 2.03.Letters of Credit.  (c)  Request for Issuance.  Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon notice, given not later than (I) 12:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day (in respect of any proposed Letter of Credit to be denominated in Dollars or Canadian Dollars under the U.S. Dollar Letter of Credit Facility), (II) 12:00 P.M. (London time) on the fifth Business Day (in respect of any proposed Letter of Credit under the Multicurrency Letter of Credit Facility), (III) 12:00 P.M. (Hong Kong time) on the fifth Business Day or Daily RFR Business Day, as applicable, (in respect of any proposed Letter of Credit under the Singapore Dollar Letter of Credit Facility, the Australian Letter of Credit Facility, the IDR Letter of Credit Facility, the KRW-A Letter of Credit Facility or the KRW-B Letter of Credit Facility) or (IV) the fifth Business Day (in respect of any other Letter of Credit not described in clauses (I), (II) or (III) above), as applicable, prior to the date of the proposed issuance of such Letter of Credit, by the applicable Borrower to (1) the Administrative Agent in the case of the Multicurrency Letter of Credit Facility and (2) the applicable Issuing Bank in the case of any other Letter of Credit Facility.  In the case of (1) above, the Administrative Agent shall give to the applicable Issuing Bank and each Lender prompt notice thereof by email or by means of the Platform.  In the case of (2) above, the applicable Issuing Bank shall give to the Administrative Agent and each Lender prompt notice thereof by email or by means of the Platform.  Each such notice of issuance of a Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Issuance”) shall be in writing by email, in each case specifying therein the requested (i) date of such issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) currency of such Letter of Credit and the Letter of Credit Facility pursuant to which such Letter of Credit shall be issued, (iii) Available Amount of such Letter of Credit, (iv) expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (v) the proposed Borrower, (vi) name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (vii) form of such Letter of Credit, and shall be accompanied by such application and agreement for letter of credit as such Issuing Bank may specify to the applicable Borrower for use in connection with such requested Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Agreement”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the issuance of the initial Letter of Credit under the IDR Letter of Credit Facility shall be subject to the condition precedent that the IDR Issuing Bank shall have confirmed receipt and approval of all applicable “know your customer” and other similar documentation and information required under applicable laws and regulations; provided that the IDR Issuing Bank shall, promptly following the Closing Date, proceed to take such steps as are reasonably required to complete such procedures in a timely manner.  Any application for a Letter of Credit may be made by any Borrower or any Subsidiary of the Parent Guarantor.  If (y) the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion and (z) it has not received notice of objection to such issuance from the Tranche Required Lenders, such Issuing Bank will, upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make such Letter of Credit available to the applicable Borrower at its office referred to in Section 9.02 or as otherwise agreed with the applicable Borrower in connection with such issuance.  In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.  All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant to this Section 2.03(a).
(a)Letter of Credit Reports.  Each Issuing Bank shall furnish (i) to the Administrative Agent not later than the fifth Business Day following the last day of each month a written report summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the preceding month and showing the aggregate amount (if any) payable by the Borrowers to such Issuing Bank during such month under all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and (ii) on any other Business Day, such other information with respect to


the outstanding Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request.  Promptly following receipt of each such report and other information, the Administrative Agent shall provide a copy thereof to the Operating Partnership.
(b)Drawing; Letter of Credit Purchase of Pro Rata Shares of Advances.  The payment by any Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by such Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit Advance, which shall, in the case of (I) each such payment under the U.S. Dollar Letter of Credit Facility be a Base Rate Advance, in the amount of such draft, (II) each such payment under the Multicurrency Letter of Credit Facility with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in Swiss Francs and Sterling be a Daily RFR Advance, (III) each such payment under the Multicurrency Letter of Credit Facility with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in Euro, Yen or Canadian Dollars be a Floating Rate Advance, (IV) each such payment under the Singapore Letter of Credit Facility with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in Singapore Dollars be a Daily RFR Advance, (V) each such payment under the Singapore Letter of Credit Facility with respect to Letters of Credit denominated in Hong Kong Dollars be a Floating Rate Advance, and (VI) each such payment under any other Letter of Credit Facility be a Floating Rate Advance, in the amount of such draft.  Upon written demand by (x) the Administrative Agent, with a copy of such demand to the applicable Issuing Bank or (y) any Issuing Bank with an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance, with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent, each Multicurrency Revolving Lender (in the case of an Advance pursuant to a Multicurrency Letter of Credit only), each IDR Revolving Lender (in the case of an Advance pursuant to an IDR Letter of Credit only), each KRW-A Revolving Lender (in the case of an Advance pursuant to a KRW-A Letter of Credit only), each KRW-B Revolving Lender (in the case of an Advance pursuant to a KRW-B Letter of Credit only), each U.S. Dollar Revolving Lender (in the case of an Advance pursuant to a U.S. Dollar Letter of Credit only), each Australian Dollar Revolving Lender (in the case of an Advance pursuant to an Australian Letter of Credit only) and each Singapore Dollar Revolving Lender (in the case of an Advance pursuant to a Singapore Letter of Credit only) (in each case, an “Applicable Lender”) shall, as applicable, purchase from the applicable Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall sell and assign to each such Applicable Lender (and with respect to the Existing Letter of Credit issued by the Existing Issuing Bank, each Applicable Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from such Issuing Bank and such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold and assigned to each Applicable Lender, in each case on the Effective Date), such Lender’s Applicable Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Letter of Credit Advance as of the date of such purchase, by making available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, by deposit to the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Letter of Credit Advance to be purchased by such Applicable Lender.  Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent shall transfer such funds to such Issuing Bank.  The Borrowers hereby agree to each such sale and assignment.  Each Applicable Lender agrees to purchase its Applicable Pro Rata Share of an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance (i) on the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by the applicable Issuing Bank which made such Advance with respect to the U.S. Dollar Letter of Credit Facility, provided that notice of such demand is given not later than the applicable L/C Purchasing Notice Deadline on such Business Day, (ii) no later than three Business Days after the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by the applicable Issuing Bank in the case of the Multicurrency Letter of Credit Facility, the IDR Letter of Credit Facility, the KRW-A Letter of Credit Facility, the KRW-B Letter of Credit Facility, the Singapore Letter of Credit Facility or the Australian Letter of Credit Facility, provided that, in each case, notice of such demand is given not later than the applicable L/C Purchasing Notice Deadline, or (iii) the first Business Day next succeeding the funding date set forth in the applicable notice of demand if such notice of such demand is given after any applicable L/C Purchasing Notice Deadline.  Upon any such assignment by an Issuing Bank to any Applicable Lender of a portion of a Letter of Credit Advance, such Issuing Bank represents and warrants to such Applicable Lender that such Issuing Bank is the legal and beneficial owner of such interest being assigned by it, free and clear of any liens, but makes no other representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to such Letter of Credit Advance, the Loan Documents or any Loan Party.  If and to the extent that any Applicable Lender shall not have so made the amount of such Letter of Credit Advance available to the Administrative Agent, such Applicable Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together


with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by such Issuing Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, equal to (x) the Federal Funds Rate with respect to the U.S. Dollar Letter of Credit Facility and (y) the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank in the case of all other Letter of Credit Facilities, in each case for its account or the account of such Issuing Bank, as applicable.  If such Applicable Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of such Issuing Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Letter of Credit Advance made by such Applicable Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Letter of Credit Advance made by such Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day.
(c)Failure to Make Letter of Credit Advances.  The failure of any Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by it on the date specified in Section 2.03(c) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Letter of Credit Advance on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by such other Lender on such date.
(d)Defaulting Lenders.  If any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, if any Letter of Credit is at the time outstanding that such Defaulting Lender may be required to fund on hereunder, the applicable Issuing Bank may (except, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, to the extent the Commitments have been fully reallocated pursuant to Section 2.21), by written notice to the Borrowers and such Defaulting Lender through the Administrative Agent, require the Borrowers to Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrowers to such Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit in amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender to be applied pro rata in respect thereof, or to make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank in its reasonable discretion to protect such Issuing Bank against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender.  In furtherance of the foregoing, if any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, each Issuing Bank that has issued a Letter of Credit upon which such Defaulting Lender may be required to fund on hereunder is hereby authorized by the Borrowers (which authorization is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to give, in its discretion, through the Administrative Agent, Notices of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(a) in such amounts and in such times as may be required to (i) reimburse an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance, and/or (ii) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrowers in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit.
(e)Calculation Date; Revaluation.  Without limiting the effect of the last sentence of Section 2.06(b)(i), for the purposes of monitoring Facility Exposure under the Multicurrency Letter of Credit Facility, on each Calculation Date the Administrative Agent shall determine the aggregate amount of the Primary Currency Equivalent of the face value of outstanding Letters of Credit and Bank Guarantees issued under the Multicurrency Letter of Credit Facility, the stated amounts of which are denominated in a currency other than Dollars in connection with Letters of Credit or Bank Guarantees issued under the Multicurrency Letter of Credit Facility.
(f)ISP or UCP.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the International Standby Practices (the “ISP”) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance (“UCP”, and each of the UCP and the ISP, an “ICC Rule”), shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.  Each Issuing Bank’s privileges, rights and remedies under such ICC Rules shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, its privileges, rights and remedies expressly provided for herein and pursuant to applicable laws governing the Letter of Credit.  The UCP and the ISP (or such later revision of either) shall serve, in the absence of proof to the contrary, as evidence of general banking usage with respect to the subject matter thereof.


(g)Conflict with Issuer Documents.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.
(h)Letter of Credit Amounts.  Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.
(i)Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary of any Borrower, the Borrowers shall be obligated as primary obligors to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit and irrevocably waive any defenses that might otherwise be available to them as guarantors or sureties of obligations of such Subsidiary to the extent described and waived in Section 7.02, mutatis mutandis.  The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any of their Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrowers, and that the Borrowers’ businesses derive substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.  To the extent that any Letter of Credit is issued for the account of any Subsidiary of a Borrower which is not a Guarantor, such Borrower agrees that (i) such Subsidiary shall have no rights against any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, (ii) such Borrower shall be responsible for the obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit under this Agreement and any application or reimbursement agreement, (iii) such Borrower shall have sole right to give instructions and make agreements with respect to this Agreement and such Letter of Credit, and the disposition of documents related thereto, and (iv) such Borrower shall have all powers and rights in respect of any security arising in connection with the Letter of Credit and the transaction related thereto.

(local time) on the date of such payment with respect to Swing Line Advances under the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Tranche or 1:00 P.M. (local time) on the date of such payment with respect to Swing Line Advances under any other Tranche and, if such notice is given the Borrowers shall pay the applicable principal amount of such Swing Line Borrowing on such date, together with accrued interest to the date of such payment on the principal amount so paid and costs (if any) pursuant to Section 9.04(c).
(b)Letter of Credit Advances.  (i)  The Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Issuing Bank and each other Lender that has made a Letter of Credit Advance on the Business Day immediately succeeding the day on which such Letter of Credit Advance was made the

(i)The Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement, any Letter of Credit Agreement and any other agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit (and the obligations of each Lender to reimburse the Issuing Bank with respect thereto) shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letter of Credit Agreement and such other agreement or instrument under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following circumstances:
(A)any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, any Letter of Credit Agreement, any Letter of Credit, guaranty or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto, including any amendments, supplements and waivers (all of the foregoing being, collectively, the “L/C Related Documents”);
(B)any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations of any Borrower in respect of any L/C Related Document or any Person that guarantees any of the Obligations or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the L/C Related Documents;
(C)the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that any Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any Persons for which any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated by the L/C Related Documents or any unrelated transaction;
(D)any draft, certificate, statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(G)any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower or Guarantor.
(ii)The Borrowers shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrowers’ instructions or other irregularity, the Borrowers will promptly notify the applicable Issuing Bank.
(iii)The Borrowers assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit.  Neither any Issuing Bank nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for:  (a) the use that may be made


of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by such Issuing Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the Borrowers shall have a claim against such Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Borrowers, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by the Borrowers that the Borrowers prove were caused by (i) such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit or (ii) such Issuing Bank’s willful failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and certificates strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
SECTION 2.05.Termination or Reduction of the Commitments.  (e)  The Borrowers may, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent received no later than 11:00 A.M. (local time) on the third Business Day prior to the proposed termination date, terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portions of any Swing Line Facility, any Letter of Credit Facility and any Unused Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, however, that each partial reduction of a Tranche or Subfacility (A) shall be in an aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Reduction Minimum or a Revolving Credit Reduction Multiple in excess thereof and (B) shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments with respect to such Tranche or Subfacility.  Once terminated, a Commitment may not be reinstated.
(a)The Borrowers may, if no Notice of Borrowing is then outstanding, terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.11(g) and Section 2.13(b) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrowers for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts), provided that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.
(b)Each Letter of Credit Facility shall be permanently reduced from time to time on the date of each reduction in the Tranche of which such Letter of Credit Facility is a Subfacility by the amount, if any, by which the amount of such Letter of Credit Facility exceeds the sum of all Revolving Credit Commitments related to such Tranche after giving effect to such reduction of such Tranche, provided that no Letter of Credit Facility or Tranche with respect to which such Letter of Credit Facility is a Subfacility shall be reduced below an amount equal to the aggregate unused amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit under such Letter of Credit Facility at any time.
(c)Each Swing Line Facility shall be permanently reduced from time to time on the date of each reduction in the Tranche of which such Swing Line Facility is a Subfacility by the amount, if any, by which the amount of such Swing Line Facility exceeds the sum of all Revolving Credit Commitments related to such Tranche.

(ii)Prepayments of any Tranche or Subfacility made pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) above shall be applied first to prepay Letter of Credit Advances relating to such Tranche or Subfacility then outstanding until such Advances are paid in full, second to prepay Swing Line Advances relating to such Tranche or Subfacility then outstanding until such Advances are paid in full, third to prepay Revolving Credit Advances relating to such Tranche then outstanding (on a pro rata basis in respect of all applicable Lenders) until such Advances are paid in full and fourth deposited in the L/C Cash Collateral Account to cash collateralize 100% of the Available Amount of the Letters of Credit relating to such Tranche or Subfacility then outstanding to the extent required under the foregoing clauses.  Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account, such funds shall be applied to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank or Lenders, as applicable.  On the earlier to occur of the (A) Termination Date, (B) the date on which funds are no longer required to be maintained in the L/C Cash Collateral Account pursuant to Section 2.06(b)(i) or (b)(ii), as applicable, and (C) the expiration or other termination of any Letters of Credit for which funds are on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account without any drawings thereon, then, in each case, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any remaining funds on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account (together with any interest earned thereon) shall be returned to the Borrowers.
(iii)All prepayments under this subsection (b) shall be made together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid.

(i)Base Rate Advances.  During such periods as such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (A) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (B) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each December, March, June and September during such periods and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.
(ii)Floating Rate Advances.  During such periods as such Advance is a Floating Rate Advance, subject to clauses (d) and (f) below, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Advance to the sum of (A) the applicable Floating Rate for such Interest Period for such Advance plus (B) the Applicable Margin in effect on the first day of such Interest Period, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day that occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such Interest Period and on the date such Floating Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.
(iii)CPR Advances.  During such periods as such Advance is a CPR Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (A) the Canadian Prime Rate in effect from time to time plus (B) the Applicable Margin in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each December, March, June and September during such periods and on the date such CPR Advance shall be paid in full.

(c)Notice of Interest Period, Interest Rate and Tenor.  Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(a), a notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 2.09 or a notice of selection of an Interest Period pursuant to the terms of the definition of “Interest Period”, the Administrative Agent shall give written notice to the Borrowers and each Lender of the applicable Interest Period (in the case of Floating Rate Advances) or tenor (in the case of Daily RFR Advances) and (except with respect to Daily RFR Advances) the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of clause (a) above.

(iii)If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to any Daily RFR Advances denominated in Sterling or Swiss Francs, subject to Section 2.07(f), the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each Lender.  Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers, any obligation of the Lenders to make or continue Daily RFR Advances in such currency shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Daily RFR Advances) until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice.  Upon receipt of such notice, (I) the Borrowers may revoke any pending request for a borrowing of, Conversion to or continuation of Daily RFR Advances in such affected currency (to the extent of the affected Daily RFR Advances) or, failing that, (II) such request shall be ineffective and any outstanding affected Daily RFR Advances, at the Borrowers’ election, shall either (A) bear interest at the applicable Substitute Daily RFR Rate plus the Applicable Margin or (B) be prepaid in full immediately; provided, however, that if either no election is made by the Borrowers by the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrowers of such notice or the applicable Central Bank Rate is not available, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected clause (B) above.

the Applicable Margin or (B) be prepaid in full immediately; provided, however, that if no election is made by the Borrowers by the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrowers of such notice, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected clause (A) above.
(v)If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to an Advance for any Interest Period for which the Floating Rate was to have been the Base CD Rate, then, subject to Section 2.07(f), the interest rate on each Lender’s share of such Advance for such Interest Period shall be the arithmetic mean (rounded off to two (2) decimal points) of average quotation yield rate (the “Alternative CD Yield Rate”) of the Bond Pricing Agencies for the mark-to-market base yield (채권시가평가기준수익률 in Korean) for Korean Won-denominated non-guaranteed bank debentures issued by Korean banks with a credit rating of “AAA” with a remaining maturity of three (3) months as published by the Korea Financial Investment Association (or any successor of such association) on its website (http://www.kofiabond.or.kr) on the applicable Quotation Day and the immediately preceding two (2) consecutive Business Days. plus the Applicable Margin and the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrowers and each Lender, provided that, in the event the Base CD Rate becomes available on any of the following Quotation Day, the Alternative CD Yield Rate shall be no longer applicable to the Base CD Rate Advance, and the Base CD Rate (then available on the respective Quotation Day) shall be applicable thereafter; provided, further, that if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that such Alternative CD Yield Rate cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Advances shall, at the Borrowers’ election either (I) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Advances, be deemed to be Floating Rate Advances denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances denominated in Dollars at such time or (II) be prepaid in full immediately; provided, however, that if no election is made by the Borrowers by the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrowers of such notice, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected clause (I) above.  Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers, any obligation of the Lenders to make or continue Floating Rate Advances in the applicable currency shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Floating Rate Advances) until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice.
(vi)If a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to an Advance for any Interest Period for which the Floating Rate was to have been based on a rate other than a Eurocurrency Rate, Term SOFR or the Base CD Rate, then, subject to Section 2.07(f), the interest rate on each Lender’s share of such Advance for such Interest Period shall be the applicable Central Bank Rate for such currency plus the Applicable Margin; provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that such Central Bank Rate cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Advances shall, at the Borrowers’ election either (I) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Advances, be deemed to be Floating Rate Advances denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances denominated in Dollars at such time or (II) be prepaid in full immediately; provided, however, that if no election is made by the Borrowers by the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrowers of such notice, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected clause (I) above.  Upon notice thereof by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers, any obligation of the Lenders to make or continue Floating Rate Advances in the applicable currency shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Floating Rate Advances) until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice.
(vii)Subject to Section 2.07(f), if a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Administrative Agent or any Borrower so requires, the Administrative Agent and such Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty (30) days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.  Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to the immediately


preceding sentence shall, with the prior consent of all of the Lenders in the applicable Tranche and the Borrowers, be binding on all parties.
(e)Additional Reserve Requirements.  Each applicable Borrower shall pay to each Lender (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Rate funds or deposits, additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Advance equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Advance by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent fraud or manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Advances, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Advance by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent fraud or manifest error), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Advance, provided that each applicable Borrower shall have received at least 15 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender.  If a Lender fails to give notice 15 days prior to the relevant interest payment date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable 15 days after receipt of such notice.  Amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.07(e) shall be without duplication of any other component of interest payable by the Borrowers hereunder.
(f)Benchmark Replacement Setting.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Guaranteed Hedge Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.07(f)):

(i)Replacing Benchmarks.  Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to any Benchmark, the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any such Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders and the Borrowers without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Tranche Required Lenders of each affected Tranche.  At any time that the administrator of any then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator or the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative and will not be restored, (A) with respect to amounts denominated in Dollars, the Borrowers may revoke any request for a borrowing of, Conversion to or continuation of Advances to be made, Converted or continued that would bear interest by reference to such Benchmark until the Borrowers’ receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent that a Benchmark Replacement has replaced such Benchmark, and, failing that, the Borrowers will be deemed to have Converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or Conversion to Base Rate Advances and (B) with respect to amounts denominated in any currency other than Dollars, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Advances referencing such Benchmark in the affected currency shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected amounts or Interest Periods (as applicable)) and any outstanding loans in such currency shall immediately or, in the case of a term rate at the end of the applicable Interest Period, be prepaid in full.  During the period referenced in the foregoing sentence, if a component of the Base Rate is based upon the Benchmark, such component will not be used in any determination of the Base Rate.


(ii)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  In connection with the implementation and administration of any Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right (in consultation with the Borrowers) to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.
(iii)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  For the avoidance of doubt, any notice required to be delivered by the Administrative Agent as set forth in this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting” may be provided, at the option of the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion), in one or more notices and may be delivered together with, or as part of any amendment which implements any Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, the Borrowers or any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting”.
(iv)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark.  At any time (including in connection with the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement), (A) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate (including Term SOFR), then the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrowers) may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (B) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.
(v)Disclaimer.  The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (A) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to the Base Rate, any Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referenced in the definition thereof or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, the Base Rate, such Benchmark or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (B) the effect, implementation or composition of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of the Base Rate, any Benchmark, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrowers.  The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain the Base Rate or any Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrowers, any Lender Party or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.
(vi)Certain Defined Terms.


As used in this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting”:

Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to any then-current Benchmark for any currency, as applicable, (x) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement as of such date.

Benchmark Replacement” means, for any Available Tenor,

the sum of (i) the alternate benchmark rate and (ii) an adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero), in each case, that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers as the replacement for such Available Tenor of such Benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then-prevailing market convention, including any applicable recommendations made by the Relevant Governmental Body, for syndicated credit facilities at such time denominated in the applicable currency in the U.S. syndicated loan market; provided, however, that, if the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above would be less than the applicable Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the applicable Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Base Rate,” the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, the applicability and length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, the formula for calculating any successor rates identified pursuant to the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”, the formula, methodology or convention for applying the successor Floor to the successor Benchmark Replacement and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides (in consultation with the Borrowers) may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

Benchmark Transition Event” means, with respect to any then-current Benchmark, the occurrence of one or more of the following events:  a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of any then-current Benchmark, the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the central bank for the currency applicable to such Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark, announcing or stating that (a) such administrator has ceased or will cease on a specified date to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark or (b) all Available Tenors of such Benchmark are or will no longer be representative and that representativeness will not be restored.


Relevant Governmental Body” means (a) with respect to a Benchmark Replacement in respect of Dollars, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or a committee officially endorsed or convened by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or any successor thereto and (b) with respect to a Benchmark Replacement in respect of any Committed Foreign Currency, (1) the central bank for the currency in which such amounts are denominated hereunder or any central bank or other supervisor which is responsible for supervising either (A) such Benchmark Replacement or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark Replacement or (2) any working group or committee officially endorsed or convened by (A) the central bank for the currency in which such amounts are denominated, (B) any central bank or other supervisor that is responsible for supervising either (i) such Benchmark Replacement or (ii) the administrator of such Benchmark Replacement, (C) a group of those central banks or other supervisors or (D) the Financial Stability Board or any part thereof.

SECTION 2.08.Fees

.  (h)  Facility Fees.  With respect to each Tranche, subject to the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment, the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders in the applicable Tranche a facility fee (each, a “Facility Fee”) in the Primary Currency of the applicable Tranche equal to the Applicable Margin for Facility Fees times the actual daily amount of the Commitments for such Tranche regardless of usage (or, if the Commitments for such Tranche have terminated, on the Facility Exposure for such Tranche).  Each Facility Fee shall accrue at all times from the date hereof in the case of each Initial Lender, from the Supplemental Tranche Effective Date with respect to the initial Lenders holding a Supplemental Tranche Commitment with respect to any Supplemental Tranche and from the Transfer Date applicable to the Assignment and Acceptance or the effective date specified in the Lender Accession Agreement, as the case may be, pursuant to which it became a Lender under the applicable Tranche in the case of each other Lender until the Termination Date.  Each Facility Fee shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Termination Date (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand).  Each Facility Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect.

(a)Letter of Credit Fees, Etc.  (i)  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender in a Letter of Credit Facility a commission (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) in the Primary Currency of the applicable Tranche, payable in arrears, (A) quarterly on the last day of each December, March, June and September, commencing December 31, 2024, (B) on the earliest to occur of the full drawing, expiration, termination or cancellation of any Letter of Credit issued pursuant to such Letter of Credit Facility, and (C) on the Termination Date, on such Lender’s Applicable Pro Rata Share of the average daily aggregate Available Amount during such quarter of all Letters of Credit outstanding under such Letter of Credit Facility from time to time at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Floating Rate Advances and Daily RFR Advances in effect from time to time.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Applicable Margin for purposes of this Section 2.08(b)(i) shall take into account any applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment.
(i)The Borrowers shall pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, (A) a fronting fee for each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank in an amount equal to 0.125% of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, payable on such date and (B) such other customary commissions, issuance fees, transfer fees and other fees and charges in connection with the issuance or administration of each Letter of Credit as the Borrowers and such Issuing Bank shall agree.


(b)Administrative Agent’s Fees.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account the fees, in the amounts and on the dates, set forth in the Fee Letter and such other fees as may from time to time be agreed between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.
(c)Extension Fee.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent on each Extension Date, for the account of each Lender, a Facility extension fee, in an amount equal to 0.0625% of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment then outstanding (whether funded or unfunded).
(d)Defaulting Lenders and Fees.  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender will not be entitled to any fees accruing during such period pursuant to Section 2.08(a), (b) or (d) (without prejudice to the rights of the Non-Defaulting Lenders in respect of such fees), provided that to the extent that all or a portion of the Facility Exposure of such Defaulting Lender is reallocated to the Non-Defaulting Lenders pursuant to Section 2.21(a), such fees (other than the fee payable pursuant to Section 2.08(d)) that would have accrued for the benefit of such Defaulting Lender will instead accrue for the benefit of and be payable to such Non-Defaulting Lenders in the applicable Tranche, pro rata from the date of such reallocation in accordance with their respective Commitments.
(e)Japan Usury Savings.  With respect to a Borrower that is doing business in Japan (excluding a TMK or an entity prescribed in Article 1, Paragraph 2 of the Act on Specified Commitment Line Contract of Japan (Law No. 4 of 1999, as amended)), such Borrower shall not be obligated to pay the fees set forth in this Section 2.08 to the extent (but only to the extent) such payment would violate any applicable usury laws of Japan.
(f)South Korea Usury Savings.  With respect to a Borrower that is doing business in Korea, such Borrower shall not be obligated to pay the fees set forth in this Section 2.08 to the extent (but only to the extent) such payment would violate any applicable usury laws of South Korea.
SECTION 2.09.Conversion of Advances.  (i)  Optional.  Any Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.07 and 2.10, Convert all or any portion of the Base Rate Advances, the Daily RFR Advances or the Term SOFR Advances under the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche comprising the same Borrowing into Base Rate Advances, Term SOFR Advances or Daily RFR Advances; provided, however, that (I) any Conversion of Term SOFR Advances into Base Rate Advances or Daily RFR Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Term SOFR Advances, (II) any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Term SOFR Advances or Daily RFR Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(c), (III) no Conversion of any Advances shall result in more separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(c) and (IV) each Conversion of Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing under the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche shall be made ratably among the applicable Lenders in accordance with their Commitments under such Tranche.  Each such notice of Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Dollar denominated Advances to be Converted and (iii) if such Conversion is into Term SOFR Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for such Advances.  Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers.
(a)Mandatory.  (i)  On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Term SOFR Advances comprising any Borrowing under the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $1,000,000, such Advances shall automatically as of the last day of the then applicable Interest Period Convert into Base Rate Advances.
(i)If the Borrowers shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any (A) Term SOFR Advances under the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche in accordance with the


provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrowers and the affected Lenders, whereupon each such Term SOFR Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance, or (B) Floating Rate Advance not described in clause (A) above, an Interest Period of one month shall apply.
(ii)Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, if the applicable Tranche Required Lenders so request in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, (A) to the extent operationally feasible, each Floating Rate Advance in respect of such Tranche will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, be Converted into a Base Rate Advance or, to the extent such Conversion is not operationally feasible, shall, following such day and solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Floating Rate Advance, be deemed to be a Floating Rate Advance denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances denominated in Dollars at such time, (B) to the extent operationally feasible, each Daily RFR Advance in respect of such Tranche will automatically immediately be Converted into a Base Rate Advance or, to the extent such Conversion is not operationally feasible, solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Daily RFR Advance, be deemed to be a Floating Rate Advance denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances denominated in Dollars at such time and (C) the obligation of the applicable Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Floating Rate Advances and Daily RFR Advances shall be suspended.
SECTION 2.10.Increased Costs, Etc.  (j)  If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation, administration or application of any law or regulation or (ii) compliance with any law or regulation made after the date of this Agreement there shall be (x) a reduction in the rate of return from a Tranche or on a Lender Party’s (or its Affiliate’s) overall capital, (y) any additional or increased cost or (z) a reduction of any amount due and payable under any Loan Document, which is incurred or suffered by any Lender Party or any of its Affiliates to the extent that it is attributable to that Lender Party agreeing to make or of making, funding or maintaining Floating Rate Advances or Daily RFR Advances or of agreeing to issue or of issuing or maintaining or participating in Letters of Credit or of agreeing to make or of making or maintaining Letter of Credit Advances or funding or performing its obligations under any Loan Document or Letter of Credit (excluding, for purposes of this Section 2.10, any such increased costs resulting from (A) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.12 shall govern), (B) Excluded Taxes, (C) any Taxes required to be withheld as a result of a direction or notice under section 260-5 of the Australian Tax Act or section 255 of the Australian Tax Act, (D) any Tax imposed pursuant to FATCA or (E) the willful breach by the relevant Lender Party or any of its Affiliates of any law or regulation or the terms of any Loan Document), then the Borrowers shall from time to time, within 10 Business Days after demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party for such increased cost; provided, however, that a Lender Party claiming additional amounts under this Section 2.10(a) agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates if the making of such a designation or assignment would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party.  A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost shall be submitted to the Borrowers by such Lender Party and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent fraud or manifest error; provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be required to disclose any information to the extent such disclosure would be prohibited by applicable law.
(a)If any Lender Party determines that (i) the introduction of or any change in, or in the interpretation or application of, any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from


any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender Party or any corporation controlling such Lender Party and that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased by or based upon (A) the existence of such Lender Party’s commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder and other commitments of such type or (B) the issuance or maintenance of or participation in the Letters of Credit (or similar contingent obligations); then, within 10 Business Days after demand by such Lender Party or such corporation (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party, from time to time as specified by such Lender Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender Party reasonably determines such increase in capital or liquidity to be allocable to the existence of such Lender Party’s commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder or to the issuance or maintenance of or participation in any Letters of Credit.  A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrowers by such Lender Party shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error; provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be required to disclose any information to the extent such disclosure would be prohibited by applicable law.  For purposes of this Section 2.10, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, guidelines, and directives in connection therewith and (ii) 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 gone into effect and been adopted after the date of this Agreement.
(b)(i) If, with respect to any Term SOFR Advances or Daily RFR Advances under the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche, the Tranche Required Lenders for the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche notify the Administrative Agent that Term SOFR  for any Interest Period for such Advances or the Daily RFR Rate, as applicable, will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Term SOFR Advances for such Interest Period or Daily RFR Advances, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrowers and the Lenders, whereupon (i) each such Term SOFR Advance and/or Daily RFR Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor in the case of Term SOFR Advances and immediately in the case of Daily RFR Advances, Convert into a Base Rate Advance, and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders under the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche to make or to Convert Advances into, Term SOFR Advances or Daily RFR Advances (as applicable) shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers that such Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
(c)(i) If, with respect to any Floating Rate Advances not described in Section 2.10(c)(i), the Tranche Required Lenders for any Tranche other than the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche notify the Administrative Agent that the Floating Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Floating Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrowers and the Lenders, whereupon (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make such Floating Rate Advances shall be suspended and (y) with respect to any Floating Rate Advances that are then outstanding under any Tranche (other than the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche), such Floating Rate Advances shall thereafter bear interest at the applicable Central Bank Rate for such currency plus the Applicable Margin, in each case until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers that such Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
(d)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to (I) make Floating Rate Advances or to fund or continue to fund or maintain Floating Rate Advances in any currency hereunder or if the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority shall assert that it is


unlawful for any Lender to purchase or sell or to take deposits of, any applicable currency in the Relevant Interbank Market, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, (A) each Floating Rate Advance  by such Lender made pursuant to the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance, (B) any other Floating Rate Advances denominated in a Committed Foreign Currency shall, solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Floating Rate Advances, be deemed to be Floating Rate Advances denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances denominated in Dollars at such time and (C) the obligation of such Lender to make, continue or Convert Advances into, Floating Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers that such Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist or (II) make Daily RFR Advances or to fund or continue to fund or maintain Daily RFR Advances in any currency hereunder, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, (A) the obligation of such Lender to make, continue or Convert Advances into, Daily RFR Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers that such Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist and (B) all Daily RFR Advances shall, solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Daily RFR Advances, be deemed to be Floating Rate Advances denominated in Dollars and shall accrue interest at the same interest rate applicable to Floating Rate Advances denominated in Dollars at such time; provided, however, that in each case, before making any such demand, such Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to continue to perform its obligations to make Floating Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Floating Rate Advances and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Conversion of any Floating Rate Advance of any Lender to a Base Rate Advance or the suspension of any obligation of any Lender to make any Floating Rate Advance pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.10(d) shall not affect the obligation of any other Lender to continue to make Floating Rate Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender Party to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender Party’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender Party pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender Party, notifies the Operating Partnership of the event or circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the event or circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(f)If (i) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (ii) any Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or Section 2.10(b), (iii) any Lender gives notice pursuant to Section 2.10(c) or Section 2.10(d), (iv) any Borrower is required to pay Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any governmental authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12 or (v) any amount payable to any Lender by a French Borrower is not, or will not be (when the relevant corporate income tax is calculated) treated as a deductible charge or expense for French tax purposes for that Borrower by reason of that amount being (A) paid or accrued to a Lender incorporated, domiciled, established or acting through a lending office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction, or (B) paid to an account opened in the name of or for the benefit of that Lender in a financial institution situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), then the Operating Partnership shall have the right, upon written demand to such Affected Lender and the Administrative Agent at any time thereafter to cause such Affected Lender to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes, if any, held by it) to a Replacement Lender, provided that the proposed assignment does not conflict with applicable laws.  The Replacement Lender shall purchase such interests of the Affected Lender at par and shall assume the rights and obligations of the Affected Lender under this Agreement upon execution


by the Replacement Lender of an Assignment and Acceptance delivered pursuant to Section 9.07; provided, however, the Affected Lender shall be entitled to indemnification as otherwise provided in this Agreement with respect to any events occurring prior to such assignment.  Any Lender that becomes an Affected Lender agrees that, upon receipt of notice from the Borrowers given in accordance with this Section 2.10(g) it shall promptly execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with a Replacement Lender as contemplated by this Section 2.10(g).  The execution and delivery of any such Assignment and Acceptance shall not be deemed to comprise a waiver of claims against any Affected Lender by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent or a waiver of any claims against the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent by the Affected Lender.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender shall not be required to make any assignment pursuant to this Section 2.10(g) if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Operating Partnership to require such assignment cease to apply.
SECTION 2.11.Payments and Computations.  (k)  The Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances under the (I) U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time), (II) Multicurrency Revolving Credit Tranche (for all currencies thereunder) not later than 2:00 P.M. (London time), (III) Singapore Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche with respect to Advances denominated in Hong Kong Dollars, not later than 12:00 P.M. (Hong Kong time) and (B) Singapore Dollars, not later than 9:00 A.M. (Hong Kong time), (IV) Australian Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche with respect to Advances denominated in (A) Australian Dollars, 8:00 A.M. (Hong Kong time), (B) Dollars, 12:00 P.M. (Hong Kong time) and (C) Sterling or Euro, 9:00 A.M. (Hong Kong time (IV) IDR Revolving Credit Tranche, 10:00 A.M. (Hong Kong time), (V) KRW-A Revolving Credit Tranche and the KRW-B Revolving Credit Tranche, 9:00 A.M. (Hong Kong time), or (VI) any other Tranche not later than 2:00 P.M. (local time), in each case, on the day when due, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.12), to the Administrative Agent at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account in same day funds, with payments being received by the Administrative Agent after such time being deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day.  Each payment shall be made by the Borrowers in the currency of the applicable Advance to which the applicable payment relates, except to the extent required otherwise hereunder, and the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to accept a payment that is not in the correct currency.  The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by any Borrower is in respect of principal, interest, commitment fees or any other Obligation then payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to more than one Lender Party, to such Lender Parties for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices ratably in accordance with the amounts of such respective Obligations then payable to such Lender Parties in accordance with the applicable Standing Payment Instructions and (ii) if such payment by any Borrower is in respect of any Obligation then payable hereunder to one Lender Party, to such Lender Party for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Upon any Acceding Lender becoming a Lender hereunder as a result of a Commitment Increase pursuant to Section 2.18, a Reallocation pursuant to Section 2.19 or making a Supplemental Tranche Commitment pursuant to Section 2.20 and upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Lender’s Lender Accession Agreement and recording of the information contained therein in the Register, from and after the applicable Increase Date, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assumed thereby in accordance with the applicable Standing Payment Instructions.  Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(d), from and after the applicable Transfer Date, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender Party assignee thereunder in accordance with such Lender assignee’s Standing Payment Instructions, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.  In respect of any assignment pursuant to Section 9.07, the effective date of which, in each case, is not on the last day of an Interest Period (A) any interest or fees in respect of the relevant assigned interest in the Facility that are expressed to accrue by reference to the lapse of time shall continue to accrue in favor of the assignor Lender up to but excluding the Transfer Date (the “Accrued Amounts”) and shall become


due and payable to the assignor Lender without further interest accruing on them on the last day of the current Interest Period (or, if the Interest Period is longer than six calendar months, on the next of the dates which falls at six monthly intervals after the first day of that Interest Period) and (B) the rights assigned or transferred by the assignor Lender will not include the right to the Accrued Amounts so that, for the avoidance of doubt:  (1) when the Accrued Amounts become payable, those Accrued Amounts will be payable for the account of the assignor Lender and (2) the amount payable to the assignee Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this Section ‎2.11(a), have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.

(a)The Administrative Agent shall ensure that its accounts at such office or bank at which and from which payments to be made under this Agreement to Lenders that are funding the Advances to a French Borrower are not located in a country which is qualified as a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction.
(b)(i) All computations of interest (x) based on the Base Rate and (y) on Advances denominated in Canadian Dollars (subject to clause (iv) below), and any other Committed Foreign Currency where the practice in the Relevant Interbank Market is to compute interest on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, shall, in each case, be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.
(i)All computations of (A) interest on Advances based on Term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR or the Federal Funds Rate, interest on Advances denominated in Dollars under the Australian Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche and on Advances denominated in Yen, IDR, Euro, Swiss Francs, Singapore Dollars or any other Committed Foreign Currency where the practice in the Relevant Interbank Market is to compute interest on the basis of a year of 360 days and (B) of fees and Letter of Credit commissions shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, fees or commissions are payable.
(ii)All computation of interest on Advances denominated in Sterling, Singapore Dollars, Australian Dollars, Hong Kong Dollars, Korean Won or any other Committed Foreign Currency where the practice in the Relevant Interbank Market is to compute interest on the basis of a year of 365 days shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest is payable.
(iii)For the purpose of complying with the Interest Act (Canada), it is expressly agreed that with respect to Advances denominated in Canadian Dollars only (i) where interest is calculated pursuant hereto at a rate based on a 360 or 365 day period, the yearly rate or percentage of interest to which such rate is equivalent is such rate multiplied by the actual number of days in the year (365 or 366, as the case may be) divided by 360 or 365 as relevant and (ii) the annual rates of interest to which the rates determined in accordance with the provisions hereof on the basis of a period of calculation less than a year are equivalent, are the rates so determined (x) multiplied by the actual number of days in the one (1) year period beginning on the first day of the period of calculation, and (y) divided by the number of days in the period of calculation.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate, fee or commission hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(c)Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or commitment fee, as the case


may be; provided, however, that (i) if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Floating Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day and (ii) with respect to any Daily RFR Advance, this clause (d) shall be subject to the definition of “Daily RFR Interest Payment Date”.
(d)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lender Party hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender Party on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender Party.  If and to the extent such Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender Party shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender Party together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender Party until the date such Lender Party repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at (i) the Federal Funds Rate in the case of Advances under the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche or (ii) the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent in respect of such amount in the case of all other Advances.
(e)To the extent that the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the amounts owing by any Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement or any Note in currencies other than the currency or currencies required to enable the Administrative Agent to distribute funds to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.11, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to convert or exchange such funds into Dollars or into a Committed Foreign Currency or from Dollars to a Committed Foreign Currency or from a Committed Foreign Currency to Dollars, as the case may be, to the extent necessary to enable the Administrative Agent to distribute such funds in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.11, provided that the Borrowers and each of the Lenders hereby agree that the Administrative Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by the Borrowers or such Lender as a result of any conversion or exchange of currencies effected pursuant to this Section 2.11(f) or as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to effect any such conversion or exchange; provided further that the Borrowers agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and hold the Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless, for any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any conversion or exchange of currencies (or the failure to convert or exchange any currencies) in accordance with this Section 2.11(f) save to the extent that it is found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such loss, cost or expense resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender.
(f)Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties in the order of priority set forth below in this Section 2.11(g).  Payments to the Lenders shall be in accordance with the applicable Standing Payment Instructions.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Advances denominated in Committed Foreign Currencies will, at any time during the continuance of such Event of Default that the Administrative Agent determines it necessary or desirable to calculate the pro rata share of the Lenders on a Facility-wide basis, be converted on a notional basis into the Equivalent amount of Dollars solely for the purposes of making any allocations required under this Section 2.11(g) and Section 2.13(b).  The order of priority shall be as follows:
(i)first, to the payment of all of the fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Administrative Agent on such date;


(ii)second, to the payment of all of the fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Issuing Banks (solely in their respective capacities as such) under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Issuing Banks on such date;
(iii)third, to the payment of all of the indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Lenders under Section 9.04 and any similar section of any of the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Lenders on such date;
(iv)fourth, to the payment of all of the amounts that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under Sections 2.10 and 2.12 on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts thereof owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date;
(v)fifth, to the payment of all of the fees that are due and payable to the Lenders under Section 2.08(a), (b)(i) and (d) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate Commitments of the Lenders under the Facility on such date;
(vi)sixth, to the payment of all of the accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations of the Borrowers under or in respect of the Loan Documents that is due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under Section 2.07(b) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such interest owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date;
(vii)seventh, to the payment of all of the accrued and unpaid interest on the Advances that is due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under Section 2.07(a) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such interest owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date;
(viii)eighth, to the payment of the principal amount of all of the outstanding Advances and any reimbursement obligations that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such principal and reimbursement obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date, and to deposit into the L/C Cash Collateral Account any contingent reimbursement obligations in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit to the extent required by Section 6.02;
(ix)ninth, to the payment of all other Obligations of the Loan Parties owing under or in respect of the Loan Documents that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date; and
(x)tenth, the remainder, if any, to the Borrowers for their own account.
SECTION 2.12.Taxes  (l)  Any and all payments by any Borrower hereunder or under the Notes shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.11, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings imposed by any Applicable Governmental Authority, and all liabilities with respect thereto (collectively, “Taxes”), excluding (i) in the case of each Lender Party and the Administrative Agent, Taxes that are imposed on or measured by its net income by the United States (including branch profits Taxes or alternative minimum Tax) and Taxes that are imposed on or


measured by its net income (and franchise or other similar Taxes imposed in lieu thereof) (A) by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is organized or any political subdivision thereof or, other than solely as a result of making Advances hereunder, the jurisdiction (or jurisdictions) in which it is otherwise conducting business or in which it is treated as resident for Tax purposes or (B) that are Other Connection Taxes and, in the case of each Lender Party, Taxes that are imposed on or measured by its net income (and franchise or other similar Taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction of such Lender Party’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof, (ii) any withholding Tax imposed by the United States or any other jurisdiction on (x) amounts payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent, for its own account, pursuant to a law in effect on the date the Administrative Agent becomes the Administrative Agent or (y) amounts payable to or for the account of any Lender Party, with respect to any Tranche, pursuant to a law in effect on the date such Lender Party initially acquires an interest in an Advance in such Tranche (other than pursuant to a transfer of rights and obligations under Section 2.10(g)) or such Lender Party designates a new Applicable Lending Office, except in each case to the extent that, pursuant to this Section 2.12(a) or Section 2.12(e), additional amounts with respect to such Tax were payable to the Administrative Agent’s assignor immediately before the Administrative Agent became the Administrative Agent or to such Lender Party’s assignor immediately before such Lender Party, with respect to any Tranche, initially acquired an interest in an Advance in such Tranche or to such Lender Party immediately before it changed its Applicable Lending Office, (iii) any Tax attributable to any Lender Party’s or the Administrative Agent’s failure or inability (other than any inability as a result of a change in law) to comply with Section 2.12(g), (iv) any Taxes required to be withheld as a result of a direction or notice under section 260-5 of the Australian Tax Act or section 255 of the Australian Tax Act, (v) any Tax imposed pursuant to Sections 1471 through 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code as of the date hereof (or any amended or successor version that is substantively comparable), including any current or future implementing Treasury Regulations and administrative pronouncements thereunder and any agreements entered into pursuant to Section 1471(b)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code, and any intergovernmental agreement, treaty or convention among Applicable Governmental Authorities entered into in connection with the implementation of such sections of the Internal Revenue Code and any fiscal or regulatory legislation, rules, or official administrative practices adopted pursuant to such intergovernmental agreement (collectively, “FATCA”), (vi) any Bank Levy, (vii) any Dutch Tax that arises as a result of any Lender Party having a substantial interest (aanmerkelijk belang) as defined in the Dutch Income Tax Act 2001 (Wet inkomstenbelasting 2001) in a Dutch Borrower, and (viii) any Tax imposed under the Dutch Withholding Tax Act 2021 (Wet bronbelasting 2021) (all such excluded Taxes in respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes being referred to as “Excluded Taxes”, and all Taxes other than Other Taxes and Excluded Taxes in respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes being referred to as “Indemnified Taxes”).  If any Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, (i) subject to Sections 2.12(b) and 2.12(c) below, to the extent such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, an additional amount shall be payable by such Borrower as may be necessary so that after such Borrower and the Administrative Agent have made all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall make all such deductions and (iii) such Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(a)A payment shall not be increased under subsection (a) above by reason of a UK Tax Deduction, if on the date on which the payment falls due:
(i)the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender Party without a UK Tax Deduction if the Lender Party had been a UK Qualifying Lender, but on that date that Lender Party is not or has ceased to be a UK Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender Party under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration, or application


of) any law or double taxation agreement or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority; or
(ii)the relevant Lender Party is a UK Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of subsection (b) of the definition of “UK Qualifying Lender” and:  (A) an officer of HM Revenue & Customs has given (and not revoked) a direction (a “Direction”) under section 931 of the UK ITA which relates to the payment and that Lender has received from the UK Borrower making the payment a certified copy of that Direction; and (B) the payment could have been made to the Lender without any UK Tax Deduction if that Direction had not been made; or
(iii)the relevant Lender Party is a UK Qualifying Lender solely by virtue of subsection (b) of the definition of “UK Qualifying Lender” and:  (A) the relevant Lender Party has not given a UK Tax Confirmation to the UK Borrower; and (B) the payment could have been made to the Lender Party without any UK Tax Deduction if the Lender had given a UK Tax Confirmation to the UK Borrower, on the basis that the UK Tax Confirmation would have enabled the UK Borrower to have formed a reasonable belief that the payment was an “excepted payment” for the purpose of section 930 of the UK ITA; or
(iv)the relevant Lender Party is a UK Treaty Lender and the UK Borrower making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender Party without the UK Tax Deduction had that Lender Party complied with its obligations under subsections (g)(i) and (iv) (as applicable) below.
(b)A payment shall not be increased under Section 2.12(a) by reason of a French Tax Deduction, if on the date on which the payment falls due:
(i)the payment could have been made to the relevant Lender without a French Tax Deduction if the Lender had been a French Qualifying Lender, but on the date that Lender is not or has ceased to be a French Qualifying Lender other than as a result of any change after the date it became a Lender under this Agreement in (or in the interpretation, administration or application of) any law or double taxation agreement, or any published practice or published concession of any relevant taxing authority; or
(ii)the relevant Lender is a French Treaty Lender and the Borrower making the payment is able to demonstrate that the payment could have been made to the Lender without the French Tax Deduction had that Lender complied with its obligations under Section 2.12(g),

provided that the exclusion for changes after the date a Lender became a Lender under this Agreement pursuant to Section 2.12(c)(i) shall not apply in respect of any French Tax Deduction on a payment made to a Lender if such French Tax Deduction is imposed solely because this payment is made to an account opened in the name of or for the benefit of that Lender in a financial institution situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction.

(c)In addition, but without duplication of amounts payable under Section 2.12(a), the Borrowers shall pay any present or future stamp, stamp duties (bea meterai), documentary, excise, property, intangible, mortgage recording or similar taxes, charges or levies imposed by any Applicable Governmental Authority that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, except any Luxembourg registration duties (droits d’enregistrement) applicable pursuant to the voluntary registration by any Lender of any Loan Documents, which shall mean that such registration is (i) not mandatory and (ii) not required to maintain, defend or preserve the rights of the relevant Lenders under the relevant Loan Documents, except any such taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to any assignment (other


than an assignment made pursuant to Section 2.10(g)) (“Other Taxes”).  All payments to be made by the Loan Parties under or in connection with the Loan Documents have been calculated without regard to Indirect Tax.  If all or part of any such payment is the consideration for a taxable supply or otherwise chargeable with Indirect Tax and if the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party is liable to pay such Indirect Tax to the relevant tax authorities then, when the applicable Loan Party makes the payment (i) it must pay to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender Party, as the case may be, an additional amount equal to that payment (or part) multiplied by the appropriate rate of Indirect Tax and (ii) the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, as applicable, shall promptly provide to the applicable Loan Party a tax invoice complying with the relevant law relating to such Indirect Tax; provided, however, that with respect to the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Tranche and the Subfacilities thereunder the applicable Lender Party and not the Administrative Agent shall provide any such tax invoices to the applicable Loan Party.  Where a Loan Document requires a Loan Party to reimburse the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, as applicable, for any costs or expenses, such Loan Party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, as applicable, an amount equal to any Indirect Tax incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, as applicable, in respect of the costs or expenses, save to the extent that that the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, as applicable, is entitled to repayment or credit in respect of the Indirect Tax.  The Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, as applicable, will promptly provide to the applicable Loan Party a tax invoice complying with the relevant law relating to that Indirect Tax; provided, however, that with respect to the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Tranche and the Subfacilities thereunder, the applicable Lender Party and not the Administrative Agent shall provide any such tax invoices to the applicable Loan Party.
(d)Without duplication of Sections 2.12(a) or 2.12(d) and subject to Sections 2.12(b) and 2.12(c), the Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender Party and the Administrative Agent for and hold them harmless against the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 2.12, imposed on or paid by such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and reasonable expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.  This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be obligated to make payment to any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 2.12 in respect of any penalties, interest and other liabilities attributable to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes to the extent such penalties, interest and other liabilities are attributable to (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, or (ii) a material breach by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in bad faith of such party’s obligations hereunder, in either case as found in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(e)As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes by the Borrowers to any Applicable Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.12, the Borrowers shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment or, if such receipts are not obtainable, other evidence of such payments by the Borrowers reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(f)(i) Any Lender Party (which, for purposes of this Section 2.12(g) shall include the Administrative Agent) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, upon becoming a party to this Agreement and at the time or times reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  Each UK Treaty Lender and each UK Borrower which makes a payment to which such Treaty Lender is entitled shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for such UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make such payment without a UK Tax Deduction.  In addition, any Lender


Party, upon becoming a party to this Agreement and if reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such entity is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements with respect to such Lender Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any form or document referred to in this subsection (g) (other than any form or document referred to in subsection (g)(ii)(A), (B),  (D) or (g)(iv) of this Section 2.12) requires the disclosure of information that the applicable Lender Party reasonably considers to be confidential, such Lender Party shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information.
(i)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:  (A) any Lender Party that is a U.S. person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender Party becomes a Lender Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), duly completed and signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender Party is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding; (B) each Lender Party that is not a U.S. person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) (each, a “Foreign Lender”) shall, to the extent that it is legally entitled to do so, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender, and on the Transfer Date with respect to the Assignment and Acceptance or the date of the Lender Accession Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender Party in the case of each other Lender Party, and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent (but only so long thereafter as such Lender Party remains lawfully able to do so), provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (1) in the case of a Foreign Lender that is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a statement in a form agreed to between the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers to the effect that such Lender is eligible for a complete exemption from withholding of United States Taxes under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, and (y) two duly completed and signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or successor and related applicable form; or (2) in the case of a Foreign Lender that cannot comply with the requirements of clause (1) hereof, two duly completed and signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (claiming an exemption from or a reduction in United States withholding tax under an applicable treaty) or its successor form, Form W-8ECI (claiming an exemption from United States withholding tax as effectively connected income) or its successor form, or Form W-8IMY (together with any supporting documentation) or its successor form, and related applicable forms, as the case may be; (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent), duly completed and signed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (D) if a payment made to a Lender Party under any Loan Document would be subject to withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender Party were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender Party shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender Party has complied with such


Lender Party’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for the purposes of this subsection (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(ii)Each Lender Party shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances that would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption from or reduction of Taxes.  Each Lender Party further 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 the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(iii)A UK Treaty Lender that holds a passport under the HM Revenue & Customs DT Treaty Passport scheme, and which wishes that scheme to apply to this Agreement, shall confirm in writing its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence to any UK Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and, having done so, that Lender Party shall be under no obligation pursuant to subsection (i) above in respect of an Advance to any such UK Borrower.  If a UK Treaty Lender has confirmed its scheme reference number and its jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with this subsection (iv) and:  (a) a UK Borrower making a payment to that Lender Party has not made a UK Borrower DTTP Filing in respect of that Lender Party; or (b) a UK Borrower making a payment to that Lender Party has made a UK Borrower DTTP Filing but (A) that UK Borrower DTTP Filing has been rejected by HM Revenue & Customs; or (B) HM Revenue & Customs have not given the UK Borrower authority to make payments to that Lender Party without a UK Tax Deduction within 60 days of the date of the UK Borrower DTTP Filing, and in each case, the UK Borrower has notified that Lender Party in writing, that Lender Party and the UK Borrower shall co-operate in completing any procedural formalities necessary for that UK Borrower to obtain authorization to make that payment without a UK Tax Deduction.
(iv)If a UK Treaty Lender has not confirmed its scheme reference number and jurisdiction of tax residence in accordance with subsection (iv) above, no UK Borrower shall make a UK Borrower DTTP Filing or file any other form relating to the HM Revenue & Customs DT Treaty Passport scheme in respect of that Lender Party’s Advance(s) unless that Lender Party otherwise agrees.
(v)A UK Borrower shall, promptly on making a UK Borrower DTTP Filing, deliver a copy of that UK Borrower DTTP Filing to the Administrative Agent for delivery to the relevant UK Treaty Lender.
(vi)A UK Qualifying Non-Bank Lender which becomes a party to this Agreement gives a UK Tax Confirmation to any UK Borrower by entering into this Agreement.  A UK Qualifying Non-Bank Lender shall promptly notify any UK Borrower and the Administrative Agent if there is any change in the position from that set out in the UK Tax Confirmation.
(vii)Each Lender Party in respect of a UK Borrower which becomes a party to this Agreement shall indicate in Schedule I or (as applicable) the Assignment and Acceptance, which of the following categories it falls in:  (A) not a UK Qualifying Lender; (B) a UK Qualifying Lender (other than a UK Treaty Lender); or (C) a UK Treaty Lender (on the assumption that all necessary procedural formalities have been completed).  If a Lender Party fails to indicate its status in accordance with this subsection (viii) then such Lender Party shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement (including by each UK Borrower) as if it is not a UK Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category applies (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform each UK Borrower).


(viii)Each Lender Party which becomes a party to this Agreement after the date of this Agreement shall indicate, in the transfer agreement which it executes on becoming a party, and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, which of the following categories it falls in:  (A) not a French Qualifying Lender; (B) a French Qualifying Lender (other than a French Treaty Lender); or (C) a French Treaty Lender.  If such new Lender Party fails to indicate its status in accordance with this Section 2.12(g)(ix) then such new Lender Party shall be treated for the purposes of this Agreement as if it is not a French Qualifying Lender until such time as it notifies the Administrative Agent which category applies (and the Administrative Agent, upon receipt of such notification, shall inform the Operating Partnership).  For the avoidance of doubt, a transfer agreement shall not be invalidated by any failure of a Lender Party to comply with this Section 2.12(g)(ix).
(g)Any Lender Party claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.12 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, (x) be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party or (y) subject such Lender Party to any material unreimbursed cost or expense.  If any amount payable under this Agreement by a French Borrower becomes not deductible from that Borrower’s taxable income for French tax purposes by reason of that amount being (i) paid or accrued to a Lender Party incorporated, domiciled, established or acting through a lending office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction or (ii) paid to an account opened in the name of or for the benefit of that Lender Party in a financial institution situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction, then such Lender Party will use reasonable efforts to mitigate such issues including by designating a different lending office for each affected Advance if such designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and would not be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party.
(h)If any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent receives a refund of Taxes or Other Taxes paid by any Borrower or for which the Borrowers have indemnified any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 2.12, then such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall pay such amount, net of any reasonable expenses incurred by such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, to the Borrowers as soon as practicable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Borrowers shall not be entitled to review the tax records or financial information of any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent and (ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender Party shall have any obligation to pursue (and no Loan Party shall have any right to assert) any refund of Taxes or Other Taxes that may be paid by the Borrowers.
(i)To the extent permitted under the Internal Revenue Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations, the Administrative Agent shall (i) act as the withholding agent solely with respect to the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche contemplated by the Loan Documents, taking into account that each of the Borrowers (other than the Operating Partnership, Digital US Finco, the Initial Multicurrency Borrower 3, Initial Multicurrency Borrower 5 and the Initial Singapore Borrower 3) as of the date hereof is intended to be treated as an entity disregarded as separate from the Operating Partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (ii) prepare and file (on behalf of the Borrowers), and furnish to the applicable Lender Parties, any required Internal Revenue Service Form 1042-S with respect to the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche.  Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall not act as withholding agent (within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations) with respect to any Tranche; provided, however, that if in the future, the Administrative Agent or an affiliate of the Administrative Agent that is a U.S. Person for U.S. federal income tax purposes administers another Tranche, the Administrative Agent or such affiliate shall (i) act as withholding agent (within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations) with respect to such Tranche as required by law and (ii) prepare and file (on behalf of the Borrowers) and furnish to the applicable Lender Parties any required Internal Revenue Service Form 1042 S with respect to such Tranche.  The Administrative Agent and the Borrowers further agree to mutually cooperate and furnish or cause to be furnished upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and


assistance reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax returns and complying with all Tax withholding and information reporting requirements.  With respect to each Tranche and each Borrower, the Administrative Agent agrees to provide the Borrowers information regarding the interest, principal, fees or other amounts payable to each Person pursuant to the Loan Documents by January 31 of each year following the year during which such payment was made.
(j)For purposes of this Section 2.12 (except for purposes of the first sentence of paragraph (i)), references to the Administrative Agent shall include any Affiliate or sub-agent of the Administrative Agent, in each case performing any duties or obligations of the Administrative Agent.  For purposes of this Section 2.12, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
SECTION 2.13.Sharing of Payments, Etc.  (m)  Sharing Within Each Tranche.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(g), if, in connection with any particular Tranche, any Applicable Lender Party shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise, other than as a result of an assignment pursuant to Section 9.07 or a payment made by a Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement) (a) on account of Obligations due and payable to such Applicable Lender Party with respect to such Tranche under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Applicable Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Applicable Lender Parties with respect to such Tranche under the Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all such Applicable Lender Parties under the Loan Documents at such time obtained by all such Applicable Lender Parties at such time or (b) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Applicable Lender Party under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Applicable Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all such Applicable Lender Parties hereunder at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all such Applicable Lender Parties under the Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of such Applicable Lender Parties at such time, such Applicable Lender Party shall forthwith purchase from such other Applicable Lender Parties such interests or participating interests in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Applicable Lender Party to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Applicable Lender Party, such purchase from each other Applicable Lender Party shall be rescinded and such other Applicable Lender Party shall repay to the purchasing Applicable Lender Party the purchase price to the extent of such Applicable Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Applicable Lender Party to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Applicable Lender Parties) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Applicable Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Applicable Lender Party’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Applicable Lender Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Applicable Lender Party in respect of the total amount so recovered.  The Borrowers agree that any Applicable Lender Party so purchasing an interest or participating interest from another Applicable Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.13(a) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such interest or participating interest, as the case may be, as fully as if such Applicable Lender Party were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such interest or participating interest, as the case may be.
(a)Pro Rata Sharing Following Event of Default.  Notwithstanding Section 2.13(a), following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and the notional conversion of all Advances denominated in a Committed Foreign Currency into Dollars pursuant to Section 2.11(g), subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(g), if any Lender Party shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set off, or otherwise, other than as a result of an assignment pursuant to Section 9.07 or a payment made by a Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms


of this Agreement) (a) on account of Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties under the Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties under the Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lender Parties at such time or (b) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender Party under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties under the Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties under the Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lender Parties at such time, such Lender Party shall forthwith purchase from the other Lender Parties such interests or participating interests in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender Party to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender Party, such purchase from each other Lender Party shall be rescinded and such other Lender Party shall repay to the purchasing Lender Party the purchase price to the extent of such Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Lender Party to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lender Parties) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender Party’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender Party in respect of the total amount so recovered.  The Borrowers agree that any Lender Party so purchasing an interest or participating interest from another Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.13(b) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such interest or participating interest, as the case may be, as fully as if such Lender Party were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such interest or participating interest, as the case may be.
SECTION 2.14.Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Advances and issuances of Letters of Credit shall be available (and the Borrowers agree that they shall use such proceeds and Letters of Credit) solely for the acquisition, development and redevelopment of Assets, for repayment of Debt, for working capital and for other general corporate purposes of the Parent Guarantor, the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries; provided, however, that (a) the proceeds of Advances and Letters of Credit under the KRW-A Revolving Credit Tranche shall be available solely for the purposes of Korean Working Capital and (b) the proceeds of Advances and Letters of Credit under the KRW-B Revolving Credit Tranche shall be available solely for the purposes of Korean Capital Expenditures.  The Borrowers will not directly or knowingly indirectly use the Letters of Credit or the proceeds of the Advances, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person such extensions of credit or proceeds, (i) to fund any prohibited activities or businesses of or with any Person that at the time of such funding is the target of or subject of Sanctions or in a Sanctioned Jurisdiction, or (ii) in any other manner that would result in a violation of Sanctions by any Person (including any Person participating in the Facility, whether as underwriter, advisor, investor, or otherwise) or any Anti-Corruption Laws.
SECTION 2.15.Evidence of Debt.  (n)  Each Lender Party shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each applicable Borrower to such Lender Party resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender Party from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender Party from time to time hereunder.  The Borrowers agree that upon notice by any Lender Party to any Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is required or appropriate in order for such Lender Party to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender Party, the applicable Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender Party, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a Note, in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, payable to


such Lender Party in a principal amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender Party.  All references to Notes in the Loan Documents shall mean Notes, if any, to the extent issued hereunder.  In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Note shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

(a)The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d) may include a control account and a subsidiary account for each Lender Party.  In each account with respect to each Lender Party (including the control account and subsidiary account, if applicable) there shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period or tenor applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance and Lender Accession Agreement delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender Party hereunder, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers hereunder and each Lender Party’s share thereof.
(b)Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender Party in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to, in the case of the Register, each Lender Party and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender Party, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement.  It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Advances will be treated as in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code (and any other relevant or successor provisions of the Internal Revenue Code).
SECTION 2.16.Extension of Termination Date.  The Borrowers may request, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, (i) at least 30 days but not more than the day occurring 60 days and one year prior to the Termination Date, a six-month extension of the Termination Date with respect to the Commitments then outstanding and (ii) thereafter, an additional six-month extension provided at least 30 days but not more than the day occurring 60 days and one year prior to the Termination Date (as extended pursuant to clause (i) of this sentence) (each, an “Extension Request”).  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such Extension Request and the Termination Date in effect at such time shall, effective as of the applicable Extension Date (as defined below), be extended for an additional six-month period, provided that, on such Extension Date (a) the Administrative Agent shall have received payment in full of the extension fee set forth in Section 2.08(d) and (b) the following statements shall be true and the Administrative Agent shall have received for the benefit of each Lender Party a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Operating Partnership, dated the applicable Extension Date, stating that:  (i) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01 are true and correct in all material respects (unless qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such Extension Date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and accurate in all material respects or all respects, as applicable, on and as of such earlier date)), and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such extension.  “Extension Date” means, in the case of each extension option, the first date after the delivery by the Borrowers of the related Extension Request that the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above are satisfied.  In the event that an extension is effected pursuant to this Section 2.16, the aggregate principal amount of all Advances shall be repaid in full ratably to the Lenders on the Termination Date as so extended.  As of the Extension Date, any and all references in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the “Termination Date” shall refer to the Termination Date as so extended.


SECTION 2.17.Cash Collateral Account.  (o)  Grant of Security.  The Borrowers hereby pledge to the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, and hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, the Borrowers’ right, title and interest in and to the L/C Cash Collateral Account and all (i) funds and financial assets from time to time credited thereto (including, without limitation, all Cash Equivalents), all interest, dividends, distributions, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such funds and financial assets, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing the L/C Cash Collateral Account, (ii) and all promissory notes, certificates of deposit, deposit accounts, checks and other instruments from time to time delivered to or otherwise possessed by the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent for or on behalf of the Borrowers, in substitution for or in addition to any or all of the then existing L/C Account Collateral and (iii) all interest, dividends, distributions, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the then existing L/C Account Collateral, in each of the cases set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrowers, wherever located, and whether now or hereafter existing or arising other than assets located or deemed to be located in Luxembourg (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “L/C Account Collateral”); provided, however, that for so long as (i) KRW-A Borrowers and KRW-B Borrowers are restricted under the Foreign Exchange Transaction Act of Korea from providing security interests for the benefit of third parties or (ii) a TMK is prohibited under the TMK Law from pledging its assets for the benefit of another Person, any pledge from a Borrower that is a KRW-A Borrower, a KRW-B Borrower or a TMK, as applicable, shall solely secure its own obligations hereunder and not the obligation of any other Borrower.
(b)Maintaining the L/C Account Collateral.  So long as any Advance or any other Obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall remain unpaid, any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding, any Guaranteed Hedge Agreement shall be in effect or any Lender Party shall have any Commitment:
(i)the Borrowers will maintain all L/C Account Collateral only with the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent; and
(ii)the Administrative Agent shall have the sole right to direct the disposition of funds with respect to the L/C Cash Collateral Account subject to the provisions of this Agreement, and it shall be a term and condition of such L/C Cash Collateral Account that, except as otherwise provided herein, notwithstanding any term or condition to the contrary in any other agreement relating to the L/C Cash Collateral Account, as the case may be, that no amount (including, without limitation, interest on Cash Equivalents credited thereto) will be paid or released to or for the account of, or withdrawn by or for the account of, the Borrowers or any other Person from the L/C Cash Collateral Account; and
(iii)the Administrative Agent may (with the consent of the Required Lenders and shall at the request of the Required Lenders), at any time and without notice to, or consent from, the Borrowers, transfer, or direct the transfer of, funds from the L/C Account Collateral to satisfy the Borrowers’ Obligations under the Loan Documents if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.
(c)Investing of Amounts in the L/C Cash Collateral Account.  The Administrative Agent will, from time to time invest (i)(A) amounts received with respect to the L/C Cash Collateral Account in such Cash Equivalents credited to the L/C Cash Collateral Account as the Borrowers may select and the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent, may approve in its reasonable discretion, and (B) interest paid on the Cash Equivalents referred to in clause (i)(A) above, and (ii) reinvest other proceeds of any such Cash Equivalents that may mature or be sold, in each case in such Cash Equivalents credited in the same manner.  Interest and proceeds that are not invested or reinvested in Cash Equivalents as provided above shall be deposited and held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account.  In addition, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any time to exchange such Cash


Equivalents for similar Cash Equivalents of smaller or larger determinations, or for other Cash Equivalents, credited to the L/C Cash Collateral Account.
(d)Release of Amounts.  So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent will pay and release to any Borrower or at its order or, at the request of any Borrower, to the Administrative Agent to be applied to the Obligations of such Borrower under the Loan Documents such amount, if any, as is then on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account.
(e)Remedies.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, in addition to the rights and remedies available pursuant to Article VI hereof and under the other Loan Documents, (i) the Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the L/C Account Collateral all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected L/C Account Collateral), and (ii) the Administrative Agent may, without notice to the Borrowers, except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents against any funds held with respect to the L/C Account Collateral or in any other deposit account.
SECTION 2.18.Increase in the Aggregate Commitments.  (p)  The Borrowers may, at any time by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request an increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments, which may be in the form of increased Revolving Credit Commitments or one or more Incremental Term Loan Facilities, in each case, by not less than the Increase Minimum in the aggregate (each such proposed increase or Incremental Term Loan Facility, a “Commitment Increase”) to be effective as of a date that is at least 90 days prior to the scheduled Termination Date then in effect (the “Increase Date”) as specified in the related notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of all Commitment Increases made pursuant to this Section 2.18 exceed $1,800,000,000 (including the Equivalent thereof in Dollars with respect to any Commitments denominated in currencies other than Dollars), (ii) on the date of any request by the Borrowers for a Commitment Increase and on the related Increase Date, the conditions set forth in Sections 3.01(a)(i) and 3.02 shall be satisfied and (iii) the Borrowers’ notice to the Administrative Agent shall indicate the proposed allocation of each such Commitment Increase among the affected Revolving Credit Commitments or among each affected or established Incremental Term Loan Facility (each, an “Apportioned Commitment Increase”).
(a)The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and such Eligible Assignees as are designated by the Borrowers of each request by the Borrowers for a Commitment Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amounts of the Commitment Increase and each Apportioned Commitment Increase, (ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date by which Lenders and such Eligible Assignees wishing to participate in the Commitment Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments or Commitments to the applicable Incremental Term Loan Facility or to establish their Revolving Credit Commitments or their Commitments to such Incremental Term Loan Facility, as applicable (the “Commitment Date”).  Each Lender and Eligible Assignee that is willing to participate in such requested Commitment Increase (each, an “Increasing Lender”) shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase or establish, as applicable, each applicable Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender or such Lender’s Commitments to the subject Incremental Term Loan Facility.  If the Lenders and such Eligible Assignees notify the Administrative Agent that they are willing to increase (or establish, as applicable) the amount of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments or increase (or establish, as applicable) their respective Commitments to the applicable Incremental Term Loan Facility, by an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the requested Apportioned Commitment Increase relating to such Revolving Credit Commitments, the requested Apportioned Commitment Increase shall be allocated to each Lender and Eligible Assignee willing to participate therein in such a manner as is agreed to by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.  For avoidance of doubt, each Lender’s sole right to approve or consent to any Commitment Increase shall be its right to determine whether


to participate, or not to participate, in any Commitment Increase in its sole discretion as provided in this Section 2.18(b).
(b)Promptly following each Commitment Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers as to the amount, if any, by which the Lenders and Eligible Assignees are willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase; provided, however, that the Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of the Commitment Increase Minimum or an integral multiple in excess thereof of $1,000,000 (or the Equivalent thereof in a Committed Foreign Currency), or, if less than the Commitment Increase Minimum, the amount of the requested Commitment Increase that has not been committed to by the Lenders or such Eligible Assignees as of the applicable Commitment Date.
(c)On each Increase Date, (x) each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in a requested Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.18(b) (an “Acceding Lender”) shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date and such Acceding Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment or Commitment to any applicable Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be governed by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and (y) the applicable Revolving Credit Commitment or Commitment to such Incremental Term Loan Facility of each Increasing Lender for such requested Commitment Increase shall be so increased by (or established in) such amount (or by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.18(b)) as of such Increase Date; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have received on or before such Increase Date the following, each dated such date:
(i)an accession agreement from each Acceding Lender, if any, in form and substance satisfactory to the Operating Partnership and the Administrative Agent (each, a “Lender Accession Agreement”), duly executed by such Acceding Lender, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower; and
(ii)confirmation from each Increasing Lender (acknowledged by the Operating Partnership on behalf of the Loan Parties) of the increase in the amount of its applicable Revolving Credit Commitment (and the allocation thereof among the applicable Revolving Credit Commitments that are increasing) or the establishment of its Commitment to the applicable Incremental Term Loan Facility (and the allocation thereof among the applicable Commitments to such Incremental Term Loan Facility) in a writing satisfactory to the Operating Partnership and the Administrative Agent.

On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2.18(d), the Administrative Agent shall provide reasonable prior notice to the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Acceding Lender) and the Borrowers, by email of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and each Acceding Lender on such date.

(d)On the Increase Date, to the extent the Advances then outstanding and owed to any Lender under the Tranche subject to the Apportioned Commitment Increase immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Apportioned Commitment Increase shall be less than such Lender’s Applicable Pro Rata Share (calculated immediately following the effectiveness of such Apportioned Commitment Increase) of all Advances then outstanding that are owed to all Lenders under such Tranche (each such Lender, including any Acceding Lender, an “Increase Purchasing Lender”), then such Increase Purchasing Lender, without executing an Assignment and Acceptance, shall be deemed to have purchased an assignment of a pro rata portion of the Advances then outstanding and owed to each Lender under the applicable Tranche that is not an Increase Purchasing Lender (an “Increase Selling Lender”) in an amount sufficient such that following the effectiveness of all such assignments the Advances outstanding and owed to each Lender under the applicable Tranche shall equal such Lender’s Applicable Pro Rata Share (calculated immediately following the effectiveness of such Apportioned Commitment Increase on the Increase Date) of all Advances then outstanding and owed to all Lenders under such Tranche.  


The Administrative Agent shall calculate the net amount to be paid by each Increase Purchasing Lender and received by each Increase Selling Lender in connection with the assignments effected hereunder on the Increase Date.  Each Increase Purchasing Lender shall make the amount of its required payment available to the Administrative Agent, in same day funds, at the office of the Administrative Agent not later than the applicable Increase Funding Deadline on the Increase Date or the Business Day immediately prior to the Increase Date, as applicable.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute on the Increase Date the proceeds of such amount to each of the Increase Selling Lenders entitled to receive such payments at its Applicable Lending Office.
(e)If in connection with the transactions described in this Section 2.18 any Lender shall incur any losses, costs or expenses of the type described in Section 9.04(c), then the Borrowers shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for such losses, costs or expenses reasonably incurred.
(f)Each Commitment Increase with respect to an Incremental Term Loan Facility may be made hereunder pursuant to an amendment or restatement of this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the applicable Borrower, each Lender participating in such Incremental Term Loan Facility and the Administrative Agent (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Amendment”).  Each Incremental Term Loan Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to such Incremental Term Loan Facility.  The terms and provisions of any Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be as follows:
(i)the final maturity date of any such Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be determined by the applicable Borrower and the Increasing Lenders participating in such Incremental Term Loan Facility but shall in no event be earlier than the Termination Date, as the same may be extended pursuant to Section 2.16;
(ii)the Obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of the Incremental Term Loan Facility shall not be guaranteed by any Person that is not a Guarantor under this Agreement; and
(iii)the terms and provisions of the Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be otherwise satisfactory to the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Increasing Lenders participating in such Incremental Term Loan Facility.
SECTION 2.19.Reallocation of Commitments.  (q)  Without limitation of the Borrowers’ rights under Section 2.18 or Section 2.20, the Borrowers may, at any time (but not more often than once in any 30 day period), upon not less than seven calendar days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (the “Reallocation Notice”), reallocate the aggregate amount of Unused Revolving Credit Commitments (including any related Subfacility) among the Tranches (including, without limitation, a Supplemental Tranche and any related Subfacility that is being created contemporaneously with the applicable Reallocation in accordance with Section 2.20) (each a “Reallocation”) by not less than the Reallocation Minimum to be effective as of a date (each a “Reallocation Date”) that is at least 90 days prior to the scheduled Termination Date then in effect; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall any Reallocation cause the Revolving Credit Commitments of any Tranche to be less than the lesser of (1) the Revolving Credit Borrowing Minimum or (2) the portion of the Facility Exposure then allocable to such Tranche, (ii) in no event shall any Subfacility Reallocation cause the Commitments relating to any Increasing Subfacility to exceed the Commitments relating to the Tranche of which such Increasing Subfacility is a part, (iii) on the Reallocation Date the following statements shall be true and the Administrative Agent shall have received for the account of each Lender Party a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Operating Partnership, dated the Reallocation Date, stating that (x) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01 are true and correct in all material respects (unless qualified as to materiality or Material


Adverse Effect, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) as though made on and as of the Reallocation Date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects or all respects, as applicable, on and as of such earlier date)) and (y) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such Reallocation, (iv) immediately after giving effect to such Reallocation, in no event shall the aggregate principal amount (expressed in the Primary Currency of the applicable Tranche and including the Equivalent in such Primary Currency at such time of any amounts denominated in a Committed Foreign Currency other than such Primary Currency) of the Advances under any Tranche outstanding at such time plus the Available Amount (expressed in the Primary Currency of the applicable Tranche and including the Equivalent in such Primary Currency at such time of any amounts denominated in a Committed Foreign Currency other than such Primary Currency) of all outstanding Letters of Credit with respect to such Tranche at such time exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments with respect to such Tranche at such time.  The Reallocation Notice shall (x) specify (1) the proposed aggregate amount of such Reallocation (the “Total Reallocation Amount”), (2) the aggregate amount of any proposed Subfacility Reallocation, (3) the Tranche or Tranches and Subfacility or Subfacilities (if any) being increased (each, an “Increasing Tranche” or an “Increasing Subfacility”, as the case may be), (4) the Tranche or Tranches and Subfacility or Subfacilities (if any) being decreased (each, a “Decreasing Tranche” or a “Decreasing Subfacility”, as the case may be), and (5) the proposed Reallocation Date and (y) contain a certification signed by a Responsible Officer of the Operating Partnership stating that all of the requirements set forth in this Section 2.19(a) have been satisfied or, as of the Reallocation Date, will be satisfied.

(a)Upon receipt of any Reallocation Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly deliver a copy of such Reallocation Notice to each affected Issuing Bank, each affected Swing Line Bank and each affected Lender and notify each affected Lender Party of (i) its proposed proportionate share of (A) any Decreasing Tranche, (B) any Decreasing Subfacility, (C) any Increasing Tranche, (D) any Increasing Subfacility, (E) the Total Reallocation Amount, (F) the amount of any Subfacility Reallocation and (ii) the date by which (x) Lenders (other than Approved Reallocation Lenders) with increasing Commitments, if any, resulting from such Reallocation must commit in writing to the increase in their respective Commitments and (y) any other Affected Reallocation Lender Parties must approve such Reallocation (the “Reallocation Commitment Date”).  Such determinations shall be made by the Administrative Agent for each applicable Lender Party in consultation with (I) the Borrowers, (II) those Lender Parties with proposed increasing Commitments (other than Approved Reallocation Lenders) and (III) in the case of an Increasing Subfacility, all Lenders in the Tranche of which such Increasing Subfacility is a part ((II) and (III) collectively referred to as the “Affected Reallocation Lender Parties”).  Each such Affected Reallocation Lender Party that consents to such Reallocation shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Administrative Agent at least one Business Day prior to the Reallocation Commitment Date of its consent, which notice, where applicable, shall specify the amount by which it is willing to increase its applicable Commitment; for avoidance of doubt, no Reallocation shall be effective without the consent of all Affected Reallocation Lender Parties and each Lender Party’s sole right to approve or consent to any Reallocation shall be its right to determine whether to participate, or not to participate, in any Commitment increase in its sole discretion as provided in this Section 2.19(b).  With respect to a proposed Tranche Reallocation (but not a proposed Subfacility Reallocation), if any Lender (other than an Approved Reallocation Lender) in the Increasing Tranche shall fail to provide such notice within one Business Day prior to the Reallocation Commitment Date or shall decline, in whole or in part, to commit to its allocable share of the Commitment increase for the Increasing Tranche, then the Administrative Agent shall promptly offer such share to the Approved Reallocation Lenders in the Increasing Tranche and the other Lenders in the Increasing Tranche that are willing to participate in such Commitment increase on a pro rata basis.  Each Issuing Bank shall confirm in writing its approval of the Reallocation.
(b)Promptly following the Reallocation Commitment Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers of any shortfall in the Commitments allocable to the Increasing Tranche and whether such Reallocation has been approved by all Affected Reallocation Lender Parties.  In the event of any such shortfall


with respect to a Tranche Reallocation, the provisions of Sections 2.18(c) and 2.18(d) shall apply, mutatis mutandis.
(c)On the applicable Reallocation Date, (i) the Reallocation shall be effected by (x) reallocating Unused Revolving Credit Commitments from the Decreasing Tranche(s) to the Increasing Tranche(s) on a dollar-for-dollar basis and/or (y) reallocating Unused Revolving Credit Commitments in respect of the affected Subfacilities from the Decreasing Subfacility(ies) to the Increasing Subfacility(ies) on a dollar-for-dollar basis, and (ii) to the extent Advances then outstanding and owed to any applicable Lender immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Reallocation shall be less than such Lender’s Applicable Pro Rata Share (calculated immediately following the effectiveness of such Reallocation) of all Advances then outstanding that are owed to all Lenders in any affected Tranche (collectively, including any applicable Acceding Lender, the “Reallocation Purchasing Lenders”), in each case as applicable, then such Reallocation Purchasing Lenders, without executing an Assignment and Acceptance, shall be deemed to have purchased an assignment of a pro rata portion of the Advances then outstanding and owed to each Lender that is not a Reallocation Purchasing Lender (collectively, the “Reallocation Selling Lenders”), in an amount sufficient such that following the effectiveness of all such assignments the Advances outstanding and owed to each Lender shall equal such Lender’s Applicable Pro Rata Share (calculated immediately following the effectiveness of the Reallocation) of all Advances then outstanding in respect of the applicable Tranche.  The Administrative Agent shall calculate the net amount to be paid by each Reallocation Purchasing Lender and received by each Reallocation Selling Lender in connection with the assignments effected hereunder on the Reallocation Date.  Each Reallocation Purchasing Lender shall make the amount of its required payment available to the Administrative Agent, in same day funds, at the office of the Administrative Agent not later than the Reallocation Funding Deadline on the Reallocation Date or the Business Day immediately prior to the Reallocation Funding Deadline, as applicable.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute on the Reallocation Date the proceeds of such amount to each of the Reallocation Selling Lenders entitled to receive such payments at its Applicable Lending Office.
(d)[Reserved].
(e)On the Reallocation Date, the applicable Borrower shall execute and deliver a replacement Note payable to each Lender requesting the same in a principal amount equal to such Lender’s respective Revolving Credit Commitment immediately following the effectiveness of the Reallocation.  Each Lender receiving a replacement Note shall promptly return to the applicable Borrower any previously issued Note for which such replacement Note was delivered in exchange.
(f)On the Reallocation Date, the Administrative Agent shall provide reasonable prior notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers by email of the occurrence of the Reallocation to be effected on such Reallocation Date and shall promptly distribute to the Lenders and the Borrowers a copy of Schedule I hereto revised to reflect such Reallocation.  The Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Lender on such Reallocation Date in accordance with Section 9.07.
(g)Notwithstanding the foregoing, subject to Section 2.19(c), no Reallocation of any Unused Revolving Credit Commitment of a Lender shall cause an increase in the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments of such Lender and its Affiliates under all Tranches.
SECTION 2.20.Supplemental Tranches.  The Borrowers may from time to time request (each such request, a “Supplemental Tranche Request”) certain Lenders and Eligible Assignees to provide one or more supplemental tranches for Advances in an amount of at least $25,000,000 (or the Equivalent thereof in a foreign currency) (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may agree) per tranche in a currency (a “Supplemental Currency”) that is not included as a Committed Foreign Currency at the time of such Supplemental Tranche Request (each such new tranche, a “Supplemental Tranche”).  For the avoidance of doubt, the Primary Currency of any Supplemental Tranche may or may not be in Dollars.  Each Supplemental Tranche


Request shall be made in the form of an addendum substantially in the form of Exhibit G (a “Supplemental Addendum”) and sent to the Administrative Agent and shall set forth (i) the proposed currency of such Supplemental Tranche, (ii) the proposed existing Borrower or Borrowers and/or the proposed Additional Borrower or Additional Borrowers that will be the proposed Supplemental Borrower with respect to the Supplemental Tranche, (iii) the proposed interest types and rates for such Supplemental Tranche, (iv) the other matters set forth on the form of Supplemental Addendum, and (v) any other specific terms of such Supplemental Tranche that the Borrowers deem necessary, provided that the maturity date of any Advance under any Supplemental Tranche shall not be later than the Termination Date.  As a condition precedent to the addition of a Supplemental Tranche to this Agreement:  (i) each Lender providing a Supplemental Tranche Commitment with respect to the applicable Supplemental Tranche must be able to make Advances in the Supplemental Currency in accordance with applicable laws and regulations; (ii) each Lender providing a Supplemental Tranche Commitment with respect to such Supplemental Tranche and the Administrative Agent must execute the requested Supplemental Addendum; (iii) each of the proposed Supplemental Borrowers under such Supplemental Tranche shall be an existing Borrower or an Additional Borrower with regard to such Supplemental Tranche and each such Supplemental Borrower and each other Loan Party shall execute the Supplemental Addendum, and (iv) any other documents or certificates that shall be reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with the addition of the Supplemental Tranche shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 2.18 and 2.19 and this Section 2.20, each Supplemental Tranche shall be committed to by Lenders pursuant to (x) an increase in Commitments pursuant to Section 2.18 or (y) Reallocations of Unused Revolving Credit Commitments to the applicable Supplemental Tranche pursuant to Section 2.19.  No Lender shall be obligated to make a Supplemental Tranche Commitment and a Lender may agree to do so in its sole discretion.  For avoidance of doubt, each Lender’s sole right to approve or consent to any Supplemental Tranche Commitment shall be its right to determine whether to participate, or not to participate, in any Supplemental Tranche Commitment in its sole discretion as provided in this Section 2.20.  If a Supplemental Tranche Request is accepted in accordance with this Section 2.20, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Borrower shall determine the effective date of such Supplemental Tranche (the “Supplemental Tranche Effective Date”), the final allocation of such Supplemental Tranche and any other terms of such Supplemental Tranche.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute a revised Schedule I to each Lender reflecting such new Supplemental Tranche and notify each Lender of the Supplemental Tranche Effective Date.  Promptly after a Supplemental Tranche Request, if the Administrative Agent cannot act as the funding agent therefor, the Operating Partnership shall, subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) appoint the proposed funding agent for the requested Supplemental Tranche.  Each such funding agent shall (A) execute the applicable Supplemental Addendum and (B) administer the applicable Supplemental Tranche and, in connection therewith, shall have authority consistent with the authority of the Administrative Agent hereunder in respect of the Administrative Agent’s administration of the Facility; provided, however, that no such funding agent shall be authorized to take any enforcement action unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Administrative Agent.  Each such funding agent shall entitled to the benefits of Section 9.04 to the same extent as the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 2.21.Defaulting Lenders.  (r)  If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply with respect to any outstanding Facility Exposure of such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit Facility:
(i)the Facility Exposure of such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit Facility will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in the Tranche under which such Letter of Credit of Facility is a Subfacility pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments in such Tranche, provided that (A) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s total Facility Exposure may not in any event exceed the Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender with respect to the applicable Tranche as in effect at the time of such reallocation, (b) no Event


of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (c) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender;
(ii)to the extent that any portion of the Defaulting Lender’s Facility Exposure with respect to any Letter of Credit Facility cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the first proviso in clause (i) above or otherwise, the Borrowers will, not later than three Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion to protect the Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender; and
(iii)any amount paid by a Borrower or otherwise received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account until (subject to Section 2.17(b)) the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority:  first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement; second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Non-Defaulting Lenders under this Agreement, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such amounts then due and payable to them; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by any Issuing Bank, to be held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any applicable Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Operating Partnership may request to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, provided that no Default or Event of Default then exists; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Operating Partnership, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Advances under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, after the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may apply any such amount in accordance with Section 2.11(g).
(b)If the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par such portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lender Parties in the same Tranche and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Applicable Pro Rata Share of the Lenders in the applicable Tranche to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and such Applicable Pro Rata Share of each Lender will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing), provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided further that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.


SECTION 2.22.Reallocation of Lender Pro Rata Shares; No Novation.  On the Effective Date, the Commitments under the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement shall be deemed to be reallocated among the Lenders under each Tranche as follows:
(a)On the Effective Date, each Lender that will have a greater Applicable Pro Rata Share of the applicable Tranche upon the Effective Date than its Applicable Pro Rata Share (under and as defined in the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement) of the applicable Tranche (under and as defined in the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement) immediately prior to the Effective Date (each, a “Tranche Purchasing Lender”), without executing an Assignment and Acceptance, shall be deemed to have accepted an assignment of Commitments pro rata from each Lender in the applicable Tranche that will have a smaller Applicable Pro Rata Share of such Tranche upon the Effective Date than its Applicable Pro Rata Share (under and as defined in the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement) of such Tranche (under and as defined in the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement) immediately prior to the Effective Date (each, a “Tranche Selling Lender”) in all such Tranche Selling Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as a Lender (collectively, the “Tranche Assigned Rights and Obligations”) so that, after giving effect to such assignments, each Lender shall have its respective Commitment as set forth in Schedule I hereto and a corresponding Applicable Pro Rata Share of all Advances made in respect of such Tranche on the Effective Date.  Each such assignment hereunder shall be without recourse, representation or warranty, except that each Tranche Selling Lender shall be deemed to represent and warrant to each Tranche Purchasing Lender that the Tranche Assigned Rights and Obligations of such Tranche Selling Lender are not subject to any Liens created by that Tranche Selling Lender.
(b)[Reserved].
(c)[Reserved].
(d)Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a discharge, extinguishment or novation of any Obligations of the Loan Parties outstanding under the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement or any instruments securing the same, which Obligations shall remain outstanding under this Agreement after the date hereof as “Revolving Credit Advances” except as expressly modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently with this Agreement.
SECTION 2.23.Sustainability Adjustments.
(a)Following the date on which the Operating Partnership provides a Pricing Certificate to the Administrative Agent as provided herein in respect of its then most recently ended Annual Period, (i) the Applicable Margin for purposes of calculating interest on the Advances shall be increased or decreased (or neither increased nor decreased), as applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Margin Adjustment as set forth in such Pricing Certificate and (ii) the Applicable Margin for the Facility Fee shall be increased or decreased (or neither increased nor decreased), as applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment as set forth in such Pricing Certificate.  For purposes of the foregoing, (A) each of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment shall be determined as of the fifth (5th) Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Pricing Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.03(c) based upon the Certified Capacity set forth in such Pricing Certificate and the calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment calculations, as applicable, therein (such Business Day, the “Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date”) and (B) each change in the Applicable Margin resulting from a Pricing Certificate shall be effective during the period commencing on and including the applicable Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date and ending on the date immediately preceding the next Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date (or, in the case of non-delivery of a Pricing Certificate or the


delivery of an incomplete Pricing Certificate, the last day such Pricing Certificate could have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.03(c)).
(b)For the avoidance of doubt, only one Pricing Certificate may be delivered in respect of any Annual Period, and the Applicable Margin for the Advances and the Letter of Credit Fee will not be reduced or increased pursuant to this Section 2.23 by more than 4.0 basis points (such limit, the “Maximum Margin Adjustment”), and the Applicable Margin for the Facility Fee will never be reduced or increased by more than 1.0 basis points, in each case pursuant to the Sustainability Margin Adjustment or the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment, as applicable, in respect of any Annual Period (such limit, the “Maximum Facility Fee Adjustment”).  For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment to the Applicable Margin for the Advances and the Letter of Credit Fee, and/or the Applicable Margin for the Facility Fee by reason of meeting the Certified Capacity in any year shall not be cumulative year-over-year. Each applicable adjustment shall only apply until the date on which the next adjustment is due to take place.
(c)If no such Pricing Certificate is delivered by the Operating Partnership (or any Pricing Certificate shall be incomplete) within the period set forth in Section 5.03(c), the Sustainability Margin Adjustment will be positive 4.0 basis points and the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment will be positive 1.0 basis points commencing on the last day such Pricing Certificate could have been delivered pursuant to the terms of Section 5.03(c) and continuing until the Operating Partnership delivers a complete Pricing Certificate to the Administrative Agent.
(d)If (i)(A) any of the Operating Partnership or the Required Lenders become aware of any material inaccuracy in the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment or the Certified Capacity as reported on the applicable Pricing Certificate as certified by the KPI Metric Auditor (a “Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy”) and not later than ten (10) Business Days after obtaining knowledge thereof, the Required Lenders or the Operating Partnership, as applicable, deliver a written notice to the Administrative Agent describing such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy in reasonable detail including, to the extent applicable, calculations supporting such material inaccuracy (who shall furnish a copy to each of the Lenders and the Operating Partnership) or (B) the Operating Partnership and the Required Lenders agree that there was a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy at the time of delivery of the relevant Pricing Certificate, (ii) the KPI Metric Auditor confirms in writing that there was in fact a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy and (iii) a proper calculation of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment or the Certified Capacity would have resulted in an increase in the Applicable Margin for the Advances and the Letter of Credit Fee, and the Applicable Margin for the Facility Fee for such period, then the Operating Partnership shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Operating Partnership under any Bankruptcy Law, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), but in no event more than ten (10) Business Days after the Operating Partnership has received written notice of, or has agreed in writing that there was, a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy, an amount equal to:  the excess of (x) the amount of interest and fees that would have been payable for such period at the rate giving effect to the proper Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment or Sustainability Margin Adjustment, as applicable over (y) the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period (the “True-Up Amount”).  If the Operating Partnership becomes aware of any Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy and, in connection therewith, if a proper calculation of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment or the Certified Capacity would have resulted in a decrease in the Applicable Margin for the Advances and the Letter of Credit Fee, and the Applicable Margin for the Facility Fee for such period, then, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of notice from the Operating Partnership of such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy (which notice shall include corrections to the calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment or the Certified Capacity, as applicable), commencing on the Business Day following receipt by the


Administrative Agent of such notice, the Applicable Margin for the Advances and the Letter of Credit Fee, and the Applicable Margin for purpose of calculating interest on the Facility Fee shall be adjusted to reflect the corrected calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, the Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment or the Certified Capacity, as applicable.
(e)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy, in and of itself, shall constitute a Default or Event of Default under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless such amounts shall be due upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Operating Partnership under any Bankruptcy Law, (i) any additional amounts required to be paid pursuant to clause (d) above shall not be due and payable until a written demand is made for such payment by the Administrative Agent in accordance with subsection (d) above, (ii) any nonpayment of such additional amounts prior to such demand for payment by the Administrative Agent shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default (whether retroactively or otherwise), and (iii) none of such additional amounts shall be deemed overdue prior to such a demand or shall accrue interest at the rate specified in Section 2.07(b) prior to such a demand.  In the event the Operating Partnership fails to comply with the terms of this Section 2.23, the Lenders’ sole recourse with respect to such non-compliance shall be limited to the True-Up Amount.
(f)None of the Administrative Agent, any Co-Sustainability Structuring Agent or any Lender Party shall have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by the Operating Partnership of any Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment or any Sustainability Margin Adjustment (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any KPI Metric Report or Pricing Certificate (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry).

(e)any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;
(f)any failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party to disclose such information);
(g)the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Guaranty Supplement (as hereinafter defined) or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or
(h)any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety.


This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

(b)Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Loan Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.
(c)Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may, without notice to or demand upon such Guarantor and without affecting the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty, foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and each Guarantor hereby waives any defense to the recovery by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties against such Guarantor of any deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by applicable law.
(d)Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party.
(e)Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 7.02 and this Section 7.03 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

SECTION 7.07.Subordination.  (u)  Each Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all debts, liabilities and other Obligations owed to such Guarantor by each other Loan Party (the “Subordinated Obligations”) to the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Section 7.07.
(a)Prohibited Payments, Etc.  Except during the continuance of an Event of Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), each Guarantor may receive payments in the ordinary course of business from any other Loan Party on account of the Subordinated Obligations.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), however, unless the Administrative Agent otherwise agrees, no Guarantor shall demand, accept or take any action to collect any payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations.
(b)Prior Payment of Guaranteed Obligations.  In any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party, each Guarantor agrees that the Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations (including all interest and expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law, whether or not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post Petition Interest”)) before such Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations.
(c)Turn-Over.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), each Guarantor shall, if the Administrative Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for the Secured Parties and deliver such payments to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations (including all Post Petition Interest), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.
(d)Administrative Agent Authorization.  After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), the Administrative Agent is authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to so do), in its discretion, (i) in the name of each Guarantor, to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and to apply any amounts received thereon to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interest), and (ii) to require each Guarantor (A) to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated Obligations and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to the Administrative Agent for application to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post Petition Interest).
SECTION 7.08.Continuing Guaranty.  This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the latest of (i) the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, (ii) the Termination Date and (iii) the latest date of expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit and all Guaranteed Hedge Agreements, (b) be binding upon the Guarantors, their successors and assigns and (c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties and their successors, transferees and assigns.

(a)Australia:  The liability of any Guarantor incorporated under the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)(Australia) under this Article VII and under any indemnities contained elsewhere in this Agreement will not include any liability or obligation which would, if included, result in a contravention of s260A of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)(Australia).  Any such Guarantor shall promptly take, and procure that


its relevant holding companies take, all steps necessary under s260B of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth)(Australia) so as to permit the inclusion of any liability or obligation excluded under the previous sentence.
(b)Belgium:  The obligations under this Article VII of each Guarantor incorporated and existing under Belgian law (i) shall not include any liability which would constitute unlawful financial assistance (as determined in article 329/430/629 of the Belgian Companies Code); and (ii) shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the greater of (A) 90% of such Guarantor’s net assets (as defined in article 320/429/617 of the Belgian Companies Code) as shown in its most recent audited annual financial statements as approved at its meeting of shareholders, and (B) the aggregate of the amounts made available to such Guarantor and its Subsidiaries (if any) indirectly through one or more other Loan Parties through intercompany loans (increased by all interests, commissions, costs, fees, expenses and other sums accruing or payable in connection with such amount), with, for the avoidance of doubt, the exclusion of any obligations of such Guarantor and its Subsidiaries under the Facility in its capacity as a Borrower.
(c)Canada:  The liability of any Guarantor incorporated under the laws of New Brunswick or the Northwest Territories of Canada under this Article VII and under any indemnities contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not include any liability of any Loan Party which is a shareholder of the Guarantor or of an affiliated corporation or an associate of any such Person (except where the Guarantor is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Loan Party) where there are reasonable grounds for believing:
(i)that such Guarantor is or, after giving the financial assistance, would be unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or
(ii)that the realizable value of such Guarantor’s assets, excluding the amount of any financial assistance in the form of a loan or in the form of assets pledged or encumbered to secure the Guaranty, after giving the financial assistance, would be less than the aggregate of such Guarantor’s liabilities and stated capital of all classes.
(d)[Reserved].
(e)Scotland, England and Wales:  The liability of each Guarantor, which is a public limited company, (and each Guarantor that is a subsidiary of a public limited company) incorporated under the laws of Scotland or England and Wales under this Article VII and under any indemnities contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not include any liability or obligation which would, if incurred, constitute the provision of unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of sections 677 to 683 of the Companies Act 2006 of England and Wales; provided, however, that the foregoing limitation shall not be applicable to any Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Scotland or England and Wales that is not a public limited company or the subsidiary of a company that is a public limited company.
(f)France:  (i)  The liability of any Guarantor incorporated under the laws of France (a “French Guarantor”) under this Article VII and under any indemnities contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not include any obligation or liability which, if incurred, would constitute the provision of financial assistance within the meaning of Article L.225-216 of the French Code de Commerce or/and would constitute a misuse of corporate assets within the meaning of Article L.241-3, L.242-6 or L.244-1 of the French Code de Commerce or any other law or regulation having the same effect, as interpreted by the French courts.


(ii)The Guaranteed Obligations of each French Guarantor under this Article VII shall be limited at any time to an amount equal to the aggregate of all Advances to the extent directly or indirectly on lent to such French Guarantor under an intercompany loan agreement (each a “Qualified French Intercompany Loan”) and outstanding at the date a payment is made by such French Guarantor under this Article VII, it being specified that any payment made by such French Guarantor under this Article VII in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations shall reduce pro tanto the outstanding amount of the applicable Qualified French Intercompany Loan (if any) due by such French Guarantor.
(iii)It is acknowledged that such French Guarantor is not acting jointly and severally with the other Guarantors as to its obligations pursuant to the guarantee given pursuant to this Article VII.
(g)Germany:  (i)  The obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor incorporated or established and existing as a German limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung – GmbH) (each, a “German GmbH Guarantor”), shall be subject to the following limitations.  To the extent that the Guaranteed Obligations include liabilities of such German GmbH Guarantor’s direct or indirect shareholder(s) (each, an “Up-stream Guaranty”) or its affiliated companies (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) (other than Subsidiaries of that German GmbH Guarantor) (each, a “Cross-stream Guaranty”) (save for any guarantee of funds to the extent they (x) are on-lent and/or (y) replace or refinance funds which were on-lent in each case to that German GmbH Guarantor or its Subsidiaries and such amount on-lent is not returned), the guaranty created under this Article VII shall not be enforced against such German GmbH Guarantor at the time of the respective Payment Demand (as defined below) if and only to the extent that the German GmbH Guarantor demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent that the enforcement would have the effect of:  (1) causing such German GmbH Guarantor’s Net Assets (as defined below) to be reduced below zero, or (2) if its Net Assets are already below zero, causing such amount to be further reduced, and thereby, in each case, affecting its assets required for the maintenance of its stated share capital (gezeichnetes Kapital) pursuant to Sections 30 and 31 of the German Limited Liability Company Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung, “GmbHG”), as applicable at the time of enforcement.  No reduction of the amount enforceable under this Article VII will prejudice the rights of the Administrative Agent to again enforce the guaranty created under this Article VII at a later time under this Agreement (subject always to the operation of the limitations set forth above at the time of such further enforcement).  “Net Assets” means the applicable German GmbH Guarantor’s assets (section 266 sub-section (2) of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) (“HGB”)) minus the aggregate of its liabilities (section 266 sub-section (3) B, C HGB (but disregarding, for the avoidance of doubt, any provisions in respect of the guaranty created under this Article VII), accruals and deferred tax (section 266 subsection (3) D, E HGB), its stated share capital (gezeichnetes Kapital) (section 266 subsection (3)A(I) HGB) and any amounts not available for distribution according to Section 268 subsection (8) HGB.  The Net Assets shall be determined in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in Germany consistently applied by the applicable German GmbH Guarantor in preparing its unconsolidated balance sheet (Jahresabschluss according to section 42 GmbHG and sections 242, 264 HGB) in the previous financial years, but for the purposes of the calculation of the Net Assets the following balance sheet items shall be adjusted as follows:  (x) the amount of any increase of the stated share capital (Erhöhungen des gezeichneten Kapitals) after the date of this Agreement shall be deducted from the stated share capital unless permitted under the Loan Documents or approved by the Administrative Agent); (y) loans received by, and other contractual liabilities of, the applicable German GmbH Guarantor which are subordinated within the meaning of section 39 subsection 1 no. 5 or section 39 subsection 2 of the German Insolvency Code (Insolvenzordnung) (contractually or by law) shall be disregarded; and (z) loans and other contractual


liabilities incurred by the applicable German GmbH Guarantor in violation of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be disregarded.
(i)The limitations set forth in Section 7.09(g)(i) only apply if within 15 Business Days after receipt from the Administrative Agent of a notice stating that the Administrative Agent intends to demand payment under this Article VII against the applicable German GmbH Guarantor (each, a “Payment Demand”), the managing director(s) of such German GmbH Guarantor has (have) confirmed in writing to the Administrative Agent (A) why and to what extent the guarantee is an Up-stream Guaranty or a Cross-stream Guaranty and (B) which amount of such Up-stream Guaranty or Cross-stream Guaranty, as applicable, may not be enforced given that the applicable German GmbH Guarantor’s Net Assets are below zero or such enforcement would cause such German GmbH Guarantor’s Net Assets to be reduced below zero, as a result of which such enforcement would lead to a violation of the capital maintenance rules as set out in sections 30 and 31 GmbHG, and such confirmation is supported by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, including without limitation an up-to-date balance sheet of such German GmbH Guarantor, together with a detailed calculation of the amount of such German GmbH Guarantor’s Net Assets taking into account the adjustments and obligations set forth in Section 7.09(g)(i) (the “Management Determination”).  Each German GmbH Guarantor shall comply with its obligations under this Article VII within the period set forth above, and the Administrative Agent may enforce the guaranty created under this Article VII in an amount which would, in accordance with the Management Determination, not cause such German GmbH Guarantor’s Net Assets to be reduced (or to fall further) below zero.  Following receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Management Determination, the applicable German GmbH Guarantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent upon request within 30 Business Days an up-to-date balance sheet of such German GmbH Guarantor, prepared by an auditor of international reputation appointed by such German GmbH Guarantor, together with a detailed calculation (satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) of the amount of the Net Assets of such German GmbH Guarantor taking into account the adjustments and obligations set forth in Section 7.09(g)(i) (the “Auditor’s Determination”).  Such balance sheet and Auditor’s Determination shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Germany consistently applied by the applicable German GmbH Guarantor in preparing its unconsolidated balance sheet (Jahresabschluss according to section 42 GmbHG and sections 242, 264 HGB) in the previous financial years.  Each Auditor’s Determination shall be prepared as of the date of the enforcement of this Article VII.  Each German GmbH Guarantor shall comply with its obligations under this Article VII within the period set forth above and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to enforce the guaranty created under this Article VII in an amount which would, in accordance with the Auditor’s Determination, not cause the Net Assets of the German GmbH Guarantor to be reduced (or to fall further) below zero.
(ii)Each German GmbH Guarantor shall, within 60 Business Days after receipt of a Payment Demand, realize, unless not legally permitted to do so, any and all of its assets (other than assets that are necessary for the business (betriebsnotwendig) of such German GmbH Guarantor) that are shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is substantially (i.e., at least 20%) lower than the market value of the assets if, as a result of the enforcement of the guaranty created under this Article VII against such German GmbH Guarantor, its Net Assets would be reduced below zero.  After the expiry of such 60 Business Day period, such German GmbH Guarantor shall, within five Business Days, notify the Administrative Agent of the amount of the proceeds obtained from the realization and submit a statement setting forth a new calculation of the amount of the Net Assets of such German GmbH Guarantor taking into account such proceeds.  Such calculation shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s reasonable request, be confirmed by the auditors referred to in Section 7.09(g)(ii) within a period of 20 Business Days


following the applicable request.  If the Administrative Agent disagrees with any Auditor’s Determination or the new calculation referred to in this Section 7.09(g)(iii), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to pursue in court a claim under this Article VII in excess of the amounts paid or payable pursuant to the provisions above, for the avoidance of doubt, it being understood that the relevant German GmbH Guarantor shall not be obligated to pay any such excessive amounts on demand.
(iii)The restrictions set forth in Section 7.09(g)(i) shall only apply if, to the extent and for so long as (A) the applicable German GmbH Guarantor has complied with its obligations pursuant to Sections 7.09(g)(ii) and (iii), (B) the applicable German GmbH Guarantor is not a party to a profit and loss sharing agreement (Gewinnabführungsvertrag) and/or a domination agreement (Beherrschungsvertrag) (within the meaning of Section 291 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz)) where such German GmbH Guarantor is the dominated entity (beherrschtes Unternehmen) and/or the entity being obliged to share its profits with the other party of such profit and loss sharing agreement other than to the extent that the existence of such a profit and loss sharing agreement and/or domination agreement does not result in the inapplicability of the relevant restrictions set forth in sections 30 and 31 GmbHG, and (C) the applicable German GmbH Guarantor does, at the time when a payment is made under this Article VII, not hold a fully recoverable indemnity or claim for refund (vollwertiger Gegenleistungs- oder Rückgewähranspruch) (within the meaning of section 30 (1) sentence 2 GmbHG) against the relevant shareholder covering at least the relevant amount payable under this Article VII.
(iv)Sections 7.09(g)(i) through (iv) shall apply mutatis mutandis to a Guarantor organized and existing as a limited liability partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft – KG) with a German limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung – GmbH) as its sole general partner, provided that in such case and for the purpose of this Article VII, any reference to such Guarantor’s net assets (Reinvermögen) shall be deemed to be a reference to the net assets (Reinvermögen) of such Guarantor and its general partner (Komplementär) on a pro forma consolidated basis.
(h)Hong Kong:  The liability of each Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Hong Kong under this Article VII and any indemnities, obligations or other liabilities contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not include any liability or obligation which if incurred would constitute unlawful financial assistance pursuant to Section 275 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622), except as may be exempted under Sections 277 to 282 of the Hong Kong Companies Ordinance (Cap. 622).
(i)Ireland:  The liability of each Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Ireland under this Article VII and under any indemnities contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not include any liability or obligation which would, if incurred, constitute the provision of unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of Section 82 of the Companies Act 2014 of Ireland (as amended).
(j)Luxembourg:  Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement, the obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor or Borrower having its registered office and/or central administration in Luxembourg for the Obligations of any entity which is not a direct or indirect subsidiary of such Luxembourg Guarantor or Borrower (where “direct or indirect subsidiary” shall mean any company the majority of share capital of which is owned by such Guarantor, whether directly or indirectly, through other entities) shall be limited to the aggregate of 90% of the net assets of such Guarantor or Borrower, where the net assets means the shareholders’ equity (capitaux propres, as referred to in Article 34 of the Luxembourg law of 19 December 2002 on the commercial register and annual accounts, as amended) of such Guarantor or Borrower as shown in (i) the latest interim financial statements available, as approved


by the shareholders of such Luxembourg Guarantor or Borrower and existing at the date of the relevant payment under this Article VII, or, if not available, (ii) the latest annual financial statements (comptes annuels) available at the date of such relevant payment, as approved by the shareholders of such Guarantor or Borrower, as audited by its statutory auditor or its external auditor (réviseur d’entreprises), if required by applicable law; provided, however, that this limitation shall not take into account any amounts such Guarantor or Borrower has directly or indirectly benefited from and made available as a result of the Loan Documents.  The obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor or Borrower (other than its own Obligations arising due to the sums borrowed by such Borrower) having its registered office and/or central administration in Luxembourg shall not include any obligation which, if incurred, would constitute (A) a misuse of corporate assets or (B) financial assistance.

(n)Spain:  The liability of each Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Spain under this Article VII and under any indemnities contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not include any obligations which would give rise to a breach of the provisions of Spanish law relating to restrictions on the provision of financial assistance (or refinancing of any debt incurred) in connection with the acquisition of shares in the relevant Spanish Loan Party and/or its controlling corporation (or, in the case of a Spanish Loan Party which is a “sociedad de responsabilidad limitada”, of a company in the same group as such Spanish obligor) as provided in article 150 of Spanish Capital Companies Act (Ley de Sociedades de Capital) and article 143.2 of the Spanish Capital Companies Act (Ley de Sociedades de Capital), as applicable.  The obligations of each Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Spain under this Article VII shall be capable of enforcement in accordance with applicable law against all present and future assets of such Guarantor save to the extent that applicable Spanish law specifies otherwise.  For the purposes of this Article VII, a reference to the “group” of a Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Spain shall mean such Guarantor and any other companies constituting a unity of decision.  It shall be presumed that there is unity of decision when any of the scenarios set out in section 1 and/or section 2 of article 42 of the Spanish Commercial Code (Código de Comercio) are met.
(o)Switzerland:  (ii)  The aggregate liability of any Swiss Guarantor under this Agreement (in particular, without limitation, under this Article VII) and any and all other Loan Documents for, or with respect to, obligations of any other Loan Party (other than the wholly owned direct or indirect Subsidiaries of such Swiss Guarantor) shall not exceed the amount of such Swiss Guarantor’s freely disposable equity in accordance with Swiss law, presently being the total shareholder equity less the total of (A) the aggregate share capital and (B) statutory reserves (including reserves for own shares and revaluations as well as capital surplus (agio)) to the extent such reserves cannot be transferred into


unrestricted, distributable reserves).  The amount of freely disposable equity shall be determined by the statutory auditors of the relevant Swiss Guarantor on the basis of an audited annual or interim balance sheet of such Swiss Guarantor, to be provided to the Administrative Agent by the Swiss Guarantor promptly after having been requested to perform obligations limited pursuant to this Section 7.09(n) (together with a confirmation of the statutory auditors of such Swiss Guarantor that the determined amount of freely disposable equity complies with this Section 7.09(n) and the provisions of Swiss corporate law which are aimed at protecting the share capital and legal reserves).
(i)The limitation in clause (i) above shall only apply to the extent it is a requirement under applicable law at the time the Swiss Guarantor is required to perform under the Loan Documents.  Such limitation shall not free the Swiss Guarantor from its obligations in excess of the freely disposable equity, but merely postpone the performance date thereof until such times when the Swiss Guarantor has again freely disposable equity if and to the extent such freely disposable equity is available.
(ii)Each Swiss Guarantor shall, and any holding company of a Swiss Guarantor which is a party to any Loan Document shall procure that each Swiss Guarantor will, take and cause to be taken all and any action, including, without limitation, (A) the passing of any shareholders’ resolutions to approve any payment or other performance under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents and (B) the obtaining of any confirmations which may be required as a matter of Swiss mandatory law in force at the time the respective Swiss Guarantor is required to make a payment or perform other obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, in order to allow a prompt payment of amounts owing by the Swiss Guarantor under the Loan Documents as well as the performance by the Swiss Guarantor of other obligations under the Loan Documents with a minimum of limitations.
(iii)If the enforcement of the obligations of a Swiss Guarantor under the Loan Documents would be limited due to the effects referred to in this Section 7.09(n), the Swiss Guarantor affected shall further, to the extent permitted by applicable law and Swiss accounting standards and write up or sell any of its assets that are shown in its balance sheet with a book value that is significantly lower than the market value of the assets, in case of sale; however, only if such assets are not necessary for the Swiss Guarantor’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig).
(p)The Czech Republic:  No Guarantor incorporated under the laws of The Czech Republic or any Guarantor which is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of a company incorporated under the laws of The Czech Republic shall have any liability pursuant to this Article VII to the extent that the same would result in the violation of financial assistance provisions set out in Section 161e and 161f of the Czech Commercial Code.
(q)The Republic of Poland:  (iii)  A Guaranty by a Guarantor incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Poland or by any Guarantor which is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Poland (each, a “Polish Guarantor”) will be limited in an amount equivalent to (A) the value of all assets (aktywa) of the Polish Guarantor as such value is recorded in (1) its latest annual unconsolidated financial statements or, if they are more up-to date (2) its latest interim unconsolidated financial statements, less (B) the value of all liabilities (zobowiązania) of the Polish Guarantor (whether due or pending maturity), as existing on the date that such Polish Guarantor becomes a Guarantor under this Facility and as such value is recorded in the financial statements referred to in item (1) above and used for the purpose of determination of the value of assets (aktywa) of the Polish Guarantor.  The term “liabilities” shall at all times exclude the Polish Guarantor’s liabilities under this Article VII, but shall include any other obligations (secured and unsecured) of the Polish Guarantor, including any other off-balance sheet obligations of the Polish Guarantor.


(i)The limitation stipulated in Section 7.09(q)(i) above shall not apply if:
(A)Polish law is amended in such a manner that (1) a debtor whose liabilities exceed the value of its assets is no longer deemed insolvent (niewypłacalny) as provided for in Article 11 Sec. 2 of the Polish Bankruptcy and Restructuring Law (as in force on the date of this Agreement and/or as amended or substituted for time to time) or that (2) the insolvency (niewypłacalność) of a debtor within the meaning of Article 11 Sec. 2 of the Polish Bankruptcy and Restructuring Law (as in force on the date of this Agreement and/or as amended or substituted from time to time) no longer gives grounds for an immediate declaration of its bankruptcy (ogłoszenie upadłości) or no longer obliges the representatives of the Polish Guarantor to immediately file for the declaration of its bankruptcy; or
(B)the aggregate value of the liabilities of the Polish Guarantor (other than those under this Article VII) exceeds the aggregate value of the assets of such Polish Guarantor, thus resulting in the Polish Guarantor’s insolvency within the meaning of Article 11 Sec. 2 of the Polish Bankruptcy and Restructuring Law.
(ii)The obligations under this Article VII of any Polish Guarantor that is a limited liability company (“sp. z.o.o.”) shall be limited if (and only if) and to the extent required by the application of the provisions of the Polish Commercial Companies Code aimed at preservation of share capital.  In addition, the obligations under this Article VII of any Polish Guarantor that is a joint stock company (S.A.) shall be limited if (and only if) and to the extent required by the application of the provisions of Article 345 of the Polish Commercial Companies Code which prohibits unlawful financial assistance.
(r)The Kingdom of Sweden:  No Guarantor incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Sweden or any Guarantor which is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of a company incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Sweden shall have any liability pursuant to this Article VII to the extent that the same would constitute unlawful financial assistance pursuant to Chapter 12, Section 7 (or its equivalent from time to time) of the Swedish Companies Act or unlawful distribution of assets pursuant to Chapter 12, Section 2 (or its equivalent from time to time) of the Swedish Companies Act.
(s)The Republic of Finland:  No Guarantor incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Finland or any Guarantor which is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Finland shall have any liability pursuant to this Article VII to the extent that the same would be prohibited by the Finnish Companies Act (osakeyhtiölaki, 624/2006), as amended.
(t)The Kingdom of Denmark:  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, the guarantee, indemnity and other obligations (as well as any security created in relation thereto) of any Guarantor incorporated in Denmark (a “Danish Guarantor”) and such Danish Guarantor’s Subsidiaries in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, shall (i) be deemed not to be incurred (and any security created in relation thereto shall be limited) to the extent that the same would constitute unlawful financial assistance, including without limitation within the meaning of Sections 206 and 210 of the Danish Companies Act, as amended and supplemented from time to time; and (ii) in relation to obligations not incurred as a result of borrowings under this Agreement by the Danish Guarantor or by a direct or indirect Subsidiary of the Danish Guarantor further be limited to an amount equivalent to the higher of:  (A) the Equity of such Danish Guarantor at the times (1) the Danish Guarantor is requested to make a payment under this Article VII or (2) of enforcement of security granted by such Danish Guarantor, as applicable; and (B) the Equity of such Danish Guarantor at the Closing Date.  For the purposes of this Section 7.09(t), “Equity” means the equity (in Danish “egenkapital”) of


such Danish Guarantor calculated in accordance with applicable generally accepted accounting principles at the relevant time, however, adjusted:  (I) upwards if and to the extent any book value it not equal to market value; (II) by adding back any loans owed by the Danish Guarantor to its direct shareholder to the extent they have not been included in the calculation of the equity, provided that any payment made under this Article VII in respect of such obligations of the Danish Guarantor shall reduce pro tanto the outstanding amount of such shareholder loan owed by the Danish Guarantor; and (III) by adding back obligations (in the amounts outstanding at the time when a claim for payment is made) of the Danish Guarantor in respect of (a) any intercompany loan owing by the Danish Guarantor to a Borrower and originally borrowed by that Borrower under this Agreement and on-lent by that Borrower to the Danish Guarantor, and (b) interest and other costs payable by that Borrower in respect of such loans, provided that any payment made by the Danish Guarantor under this Article VII in respect of such obligations of the Danish Guarantor shall reduce pro tanto the outstanding amount of the intercompany loan owing by the Danish Guarantor.  The limitations set forth in this Section 7.09(t) shall apply to such Danish Guarantor’s aggregate obligations and liabilities under any security, guarantee, indemnity, collateral, subordination of rights and claims, subordination or turnover of rights of recourse, application of proceeds and any other means of direct or indirect financial assistance pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(u)The Kingdom of Norway:  No Guarantor incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Norway or any Guarantor which is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of a company incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Norway shall have any liability pursuant to this Article VII to the extent that the same would constitute unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of Section § 8-7 or Section § 8-10 of the Norwegian Limited Companies Act (as from time to time in force or replaced) or lead to a financial exposure resulting in such Guarantor’s breach of the general obligations of Chapter 3 of the Norwegian Limited Companies Act (as from time to time in force or replaced).
(v)Additional Guarantors:  With respect to any Additional Guarantor acceding to this Agreement after the Closing Date pursuant to a Guaranty Supplement, to the extent the other provisions of this Section 7.09 do not apply to such Additional Guarantor, the obligations of such Additional Guarantor in respect of this Article VII shall be subject to any limitations set forth in such Guaranty Supplement that are reasonably required by the Administrative Agent following consultation with local counsel in the applicable jurisdiction.
SECTION 7.10.Keepwell.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its Guaranteed Obligations in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 7.10 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 7.10, or otherwise in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, as it relates to such other Loan Party, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).  The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until a discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 7.10 constitute, and this Section 7.10 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
ARTICLE VIII
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
SECTION 8.01.Authorization and Action.  Each Lender Party (in its capacities as a Lender, a Swing Line Bank (if applicable), and as an Issuing Bank (if applicable) and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential Hedge Banks) hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent


on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.  As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Notes, the Advances and the Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lender Parties; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes it to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law or regulations.  The Administrative Agent agrees to give to each Lender Party prompt notice of each notice given to it by any Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, no Person identified as a syndication agent, co-sustainability structuring agent, joint lead arranger or joint bookrunner, in such Person’s capacity as such, shall have any obligations or duties to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party under any of such Loan Documents.

SECTION 8.02.Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except that nothing in this sentence shall absolve the Administrative Agent for any liability found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:  (a) may treat each Lender Party and its applicable interest in each Advance set forth in the Register as conclusive until the Administrative Agent receives and accepts a Lender Accession Agreement entered into by an Acceding Lender as provided in Section 2.18 or 2.19 or an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by a Lender, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee, as provided in Section 9.07; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Loan Party), independent certified public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender Party and shall not be responsible to any Lender Party for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with the Loan Documents; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance, observance or satisfaction of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Loan Document on the part of any Loan Party or the existence at any time of any Default under the Loan Documents or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Loan Party; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender Party for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s reliance on any electronic signature delivered pursuant to Section 9.08); (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by email or other electronic communication) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties; (g) shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law or regulations, including for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Bankruptcy Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Bankruptcy Law; (h) may act in relation to the Loan Documents through its Affiliates, officers, agents and employees; (i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties in favor of any Lender Party or Loan Party, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing; and (j) shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by a Loan Party or a Lender Party.  Without limiting the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall constitute the Administrative Agent or any Arranger as a trustee or fiduciary of any Person, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger shall be bound to account to the Lenders for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by it for its own account.  The Administrative


Agent shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of its delegates or agents or for supervising them; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall absolve the Administrative Agent for any liability found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Borrowers shall not commence any proceeding against any of the Administrative Agent’s directors, officers or employees with respect to the Administrative Agent’s acts or omissions relating to the Facility or the Loan Documents.

SECTION 8.03.Waiver of Conflicts of Interest; Etc.  In the event that the Administrative Agent is also a Lender, with respect to its Commitments, the Advances made by it and the Notes issued to it, such Lender shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender Party and may exercise the same as though it were not also the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender Party” or “Lender Parties” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include such Lender in its individual capacity.  Each of the Lenders acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may have interests in, or may be providing or may in the future provide financial or other services to other parties with interests which a Lender may regard as conflicting with its interests and may possess information (whether or not material to the Lenders) other than as a result of the Administrative Agent acting as administrative agent hereunder, that the Administrative Agent may not be entitled to share with any Lender.  The Administrative Agent will not disclose confidential information obtained from any Lender (without its consent) to any of the Administrative Agent’s other customers nor will it use on the Lender’s behalf any confidential information obtained from any other customer.  Without prejudice to the foregoing, each of the Lenders agrees that the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may (x) deal (whether for its own or its customers’ account) in, or advise on, securities of any Person, and (y) accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party, any Subsidiary of any Loan Party and any Person that may do business with or own securities of any Loan Party or any such Subsidiary, in each case, as if the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent, and without any duty to account therefor to the Lender Parties.  Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably waives, in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, any conflict of interest which may arise by virtue of the Administrative Agent and/or the Arrangers acting in various capacities under the Loan Documents or for other customers of the Administrative Agent as described in this Section 8.03.
SECTION 8.04.Lender Party Credit Decision.  Each Lender Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Co-Sustainability Structuring Agent or any other Lender Party and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Co-Sustainability Structuring Agent or any other Lender Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.
SECTION 8.05.Indemnification by Lender Parties.  (v)  Each Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Loan Parties) from and against such Lender Party’s ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”); provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Party agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrowers under Section 9.04, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such


costs and expenses by the Borrowers.  In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 8.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender Party or any other Person.  To the extent that the Administrative Agent shall perform any of its duties or obligations hereunder through an Affiliate or sub-agent, then all references to the “Administrative Agent” in this Section 8.05 shall be deemed to include any such Affiliate or sub-agent, as applicable.

(a)Each Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify each Issuing Bank (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrowers) from and against such Lender Party’s ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Party agrees to reimburse such Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrowers under Section 9.04, to the extent that such Issuing Bank is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrowers.
(b)For purposes of this Section 8.05, the Lender Parties’ respective ratable shares of any amount shall be determined, at any time, according to their respective Revolving Credit Commitments with respect to the applicable Tranche at such time (without exclusion of any Defaulting Lender).  The failure of any Lender Party to reimburse the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lender Parties to the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender Party of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender Party shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender Party to reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such other Lender Party’s ratable share of such amount.  The terms “Administrative Agent” and “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include the employees, directors, officers and affiliates of the Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 8.05.  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender Party hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender Party contained in this Section 8.05 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.  Advances outstanding under a Tranche will be converted by the Administrative Agent on a notional basis into the Equivalent amount of the Primary Currency of such Tranche for the purposes of making any allocations required under this Section 8.05.
SECTION 8.06.Successor Administrative Agents.  The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lender Parties and the Borrowers and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that any removal of the Administrative Agent will not be effective until it (or its Affiliate) has been replaced as an Issuing Bank and Swing Line Bank and released from all obligations in respect thereof.  Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which appointment shall, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be subject to the consent of the Operating Partnership, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lender Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 and which appointment


shall be subject to the consent of the Operating Partnership, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents.  If within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal under this Section 8.06 no successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (i) the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as an Agent shall have become effective, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Administrative Agent under this Agreement.
SECTION 8.07.Certain ERISA Matters.  (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:
(i)such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of or performance of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement,
(ii)the prohibited transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable so as to exempt from the applicable prohibitions of ERISA Section 406 and Code Section 4975 specified in such exemptions such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Obligations of such Lender in respect of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement,
(iii)(A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Obligations of such Lender in respect of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Obligations of such Lender in respect of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Obligations of such Lender in respect of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement.


(b)In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender, such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of or performance of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).
SECTION 8.08.Payments in Error.  (w) If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender Party or any other Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender Party (any such Lender Party or other recipient, and each of their respective successors and assigns, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not such error or mistake is known to such Payment Recipient) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 8.08 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Payment Recipient shall (or shall cause any other Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.  A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(a)Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), if any Payment Recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns) receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) that (x) is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:
(i)it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and


(ii)such Payment Recipient shall (and shall cause any other Payment Recipient that receives funds on its behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.08(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.08(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 8.08(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(b)Each Lender Party and Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender Party or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender Party or Secured Party under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).
(c)(i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender or Swing Line Bank that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender or Swing Line Bank at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender or Swing Line Bank shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Tranche with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Tranche”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Tranche, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrowers) deemed to have executed and delivered an Assignment and Acceptance (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to any Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender or Swing Line Bank shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Advances to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee shall become a Lender or Swing Line Bank, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender or Swing Line Bank shall cease to be a Lender or Swing Line Bank, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender or Swing Line Bank, (D) the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Advances subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment.  For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(i)Subject to Section 9.07 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrowers or otherwise)), the Administrative Agent may, in its


discretion, sell any Advances acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or Swing Line Bank shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Advance (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender or Swing Line Bank (and/or against any Payment Recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf).  In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender or Swing Line Bank (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Advances acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Advances are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender or Swing Line Bank from time to time.
(d)The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender Party or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender Party or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Advances that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, provided that this Section 8.08 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrowers relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided further that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(e)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(f)Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.08 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender Party, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.
(g)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Documents, no Loan Party nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have any obligations or liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of this Section 8.08 in respect of any Erroneous Payment (other than having consented to the assignment referenced in Section 8.08(d) above); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the terms of Section 7.06 (but for the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that, if a Loan Party has paid principal, interest or any other amounts owed to a Secured Party, Section 7.06 shall not require any such Loan Party to pay additional amounts that are by way of Section 7.06, effectively duplicative of such previously paid amounts).


SECTION 8.09.Sustainability. It is understood and agreed that neither the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents nor the Administrative Agent make any assurances as to (a) whether this Agreement meets any Operating Partnership, Parent Guarantor, Borrower or Lender criteria or expectations with regard to environmental impact and sustainability performance, or (b) whether the characteristics of the relevant sustainability performance targets and/or key performance indicators included in this Agreement, including any environmental and sustainability criteria or any computation methodology with respect thereto, meet any industry standards for sustainability-linked credit facilities. It is further understood and agreed that neither the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents nor the Administrative Agent shall have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by the Operating Partnership, the Parent Guarantor or any Borrower of (i) the relevant sustainability performance targets and/or key performance indicators or (ii) any adjustment to the Applicable Margin (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any notice regarding the satisfaction of the conditions necessary for any Sustainability Margin Adjustment or Sustainability Facility Fee Adjustment for any Fiscal Year (and the Administrative Agent and each Co-Sustainability Structuring Agent may rely conclusively on any such notice, without further inquiry, when implementing any such pricing adjustment).

(a)In the event that any Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) shall refuse to consent to a waiver or amendment to, or a departure from, the provisions of this Agreement which requires the consent of all Lenders, all Lenders in respect of a Tranche or all affected Lenders and that has, where applicable, been consented to by the Required Lenders or the Tranche Required Lenders, then the Operating Partnership shall have the right, upon written demand to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent given at any time after the date on which such consent was first solicited in writing from the Lenders by the Administrative Agent (a “Consent Request Date”), to cause such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes, if any, held by it) to an Eligible Assignee designated by the Borrowers and approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) or to another Lender (a “Replacement Lender”).  The Replacement Lender shall purchase such interests of the Non-Consenting Lender at par and shall


assume the rights and obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender under this Agreement upon execution by the Replacement Lender of an Assignment and Acceptance delivered pursuant to Section 9.07, however the Non-Consenting Lender shall be entitled to indemnification as otherwise provided in this Agreement with respect to any events occurring prior to such assignment.  Any Lender that becomes a Non-Consenting Lender agrees that, upon receipt of notice from the Borrowers given in accordance with this Section 9.01(b) it shall promptly execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with a Replacement Lender as contemplated by this Section 9.01(b).  The execution and delivery of any such Assignment and Acceptance shall not be deemed to comprise a waiver of claims against any Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent or a waiver of any claims against the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent by the Non-Consenting Lender.
(b)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward such notice to all Lenders) make an offer (a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all Lenders of one or more Tranches to make one or more amendments or modifications to allow the maturity of such Tranches and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders (as defined below) to be extended and, in connection with such extension, to (i) increase the Applicable Margin and/or fees payable with respect to the applicable Tranches and/or the Commitments of the Accepting Lenders and/or the payment of additional fees or other consideration to the Accepting Lenders, and/or (ii) change such additional terms and conditions of this Agreement solely as applicable to the Accepting Lenders (such additional changed terms and conditions (to the extent not otherwise approved by the Required Lenders under Section 9.01(a)) to be effective only during the period following the original maturity date in effect immediately prior to its extension by such Accepting Lenders) (collectively, “Permitted Amendments”).  Such notice shall set forth (A) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendments, and (B) the date on which such Permitted Amendments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 days nor more than 120 days after the date of such notice).  Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Tranches and/or Commitments of the Lenders that accept the Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Tranches and/or Commitments as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made.  The Loan Parties, each Accepting Lender and the Administrative Agent shall enter into a loan modification agreement (the “Loan Modification Agreement”) and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence (x) the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof and (y) the authorization of the applicable Borrower or Borrowers to enter into and perform its obligations under the Loan Modification Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement.  Each party hereto agrees that, upon the effectiveness of a Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Tranches and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as to which such Lenders’ acceptance has been made.
(c)Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder and the Commitment and the outstanding Advances or other extensions of credit of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Required Lenders, the Tranche Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as required, have approved any such amendment or waiver (and the definitions of “Required Lenders” and “Tranche Required Lenders”) will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period), provided that any such amendment or waiver that would increase or extend the term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.


(d)Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers have jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or an inconsistency between a provision of this Agreement and/or a provision of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall be permitted to amend such provision to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency, and, in each case, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document, so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interests of the Lender Parties in any material respect and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend the provisions of Section 9.02 with respect to notices that either the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may deliver to each other but not with respect to notices to be delivered to any other Lender Party.
(e)If the Administrative Agent shall request the consent of the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.01(a) and any Lender shall fail to respond to such consent request (which response must include any information as may have been reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent from such Lender in connection with such consent request) within the earlier of (x) the applicable time period specified for the granting or withholding of such consent pursuant to the Loan Documents, if any, and (y) ten (10) Business Days after delivery of such request, then the Lender that has failed to respond shall be deemed to have consented to such request.
SECTION 9.02.Notices, Etc.  (y)  Except as otherwise provided herein, all notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be either (x) in writing (including telegraphic communication) and mailed, telegraphed or delivered, (y) as and to the extent set forth in Section 9.02(b) and in the proviso to this Section 9.02(a), in an electronic medium and delivered as set forth in Section 9.02(b) or (z) as and to the extent expressly permitted in this Agreement, transmitted by email, provided that such email shall, in all cases, include an attachment (in PDF format or similar format) containing a legible signature of the person providing such notice (it being agreed, for the avoidance of doubt, that any Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Swing Line Borrowing, Notice of Issuance, notice of repayment or prepayment, notice cancelling a Letter of Credit, notice terminating or reducing Commitments, Reallocation Notice, notice requesting a Commitment Increase, Supplemental Tranche Request or notice requesting an extension of the Termination Date or Loan Modification Offer that is transmitted by email shall contain the actual notice or request, as applicable, attached to the email in PDF format or similar format and shall contain a legible signature of the person who executed such notice or request, as applicable), if to:

SECTION 9.04.Costs and Expenses.  (z)  Each Loan Party agrees jointly and severally to pay on demand (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, (A) all due diligence, collateral review, syndication, transportation, computer, duplication, appraisal, audit, insurance, consultant, search, filing and recording fees and expenses, (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent with respect thereto (subject to the terms of the Fee Letter with respect to counsel fees incurred by the Administrative Agent through the Closing Date) with respect to advising the Administrative Agent as to its rights and responsibilities (including, without limitation, with respect to reviewing and advising on any matters required to be completed by the Loan Parties on a post-closing basis), or the perfection, protection or preservation of rights or interests, under the Loan Documents, with respect to negotiations with any Loan Party or with other creditors of any Loan Party or any of


its Subsidiaries arising out of any Default or any events or circumstances that may give rise to a Default and with respect to presenting claims in or otherwise participating in or monitoring any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving creditors’ rights generally and any proceeding ancillary thereto and (C) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent with respect to the preparation, execution, delivery and review of any documents and instruments at any time delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(j)) and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of the Loan Documents, whether in any action, suit or litigation, or any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party with respect thereto), provided that the Loan Parties shall not be required to pay the costs and expenses of more than one counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties, absent a conflict of interest (or in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel for all similarly conflicted Lender Parties), and any necessary or desirable local or foreign counsel (limited to tax, litigation and corporate counsel in each applicable jurisdiction or, in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional tax, litigation and corporate counsel in such jurisdiction for all similarly conflicted Lender Parties).

(a)Each Loan Party agrees to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel for the Indemnified Parties, absent a conflict of interest (or in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel for all similarly conflicted Indemnified Parties), and any necessary or desirable local or foreign counsel (limited to tax, litigation and corporate counsel in each applicable jurisdiction or, in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional tax, litigation and corporate counsel in such jurisdiction for all similarly conflicted Indemnified Parties)) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) (i) the Facility, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances or the Letters of Credit, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on any property of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Action relating in any way to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (x) such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party’s officers, directors, employees or agents (y) a breach in bad faith of such Indemnified Party’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (z) a claim not involving an act or omission of any Loan Party or any of its respective Subsidiaries and that is brought by an Indemnified Party against another Indemnified Party (other than against an Arranger, a Co-Sustainability Structuring Agent or the Administrative Agent in their capacities as such).  In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 9.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party, whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents are consummated.  Each Loan Party also agrees not to assert any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Lender Party or any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Facility, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances or the Letters of Credit, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.  This Section 9.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes.
(b)If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Floating Rate Advance is made by any Borrower to or for the account of a Lender Party other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a reallocation, payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.09(b)(i), 2.10(d), 2.18(e) or 2.19(d), acceleration of the maturity of the Advances or the Notes pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other


reason, or if any Borrower fails to make any payment or prepayment of an Advance for which a notice of prepayment has been given or that is otherwise required to be made, whether pursuant to Section 2.04, 2.06 or 6.01 or otherwise, the Borrowers shall, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party any amounts required to compensate such Lender Party for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion or such failure to pay or prepay, as the case may be, including, without limitation (for Advances other than Daily RFR Advances), any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender Party to fund or maintain such Advance.  A certificate as to any amount payable pursuant to this Section 9.04(c) shall be submitted to the Borrowers by the applicable Lender Party and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent fraud or manifest error.
(c)If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, in its sole discretion.
(d)Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties contained in Sections 2.10 and 2.12, Section 7.06 and this Section 9.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents.
(e)Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 9.04, for so long as a TMK is prohibited under the TMK Law from guaranteeing or being liable for the obligations of any other Person, a TMK that is a Borrower shall be liable only for obligations under this Section 9.04 with respect to itself and not any other Loan Party.
(f)No Indemnified Party referred to in Section 9.04(b) shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent such damages are found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (x) such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party’s officers, directors, employees or agents, (y) a breach in bad faith of such Indemnified Party’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (z) a claim not involving an act or omission of any Loan Party or any of its respective Subsidiaries and that is brought by an Indemnified Party against another Indemnified Party (other than against an Arranger, a Co-Sustainability Structuring Agent or the Administrative Agent in their capacities as such).
SECTION 9.05.Right of Set-off.  Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Advances or the Notes due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and otherwise apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender Party or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured.  The Administrative Agent and each Lender Party agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers or such Loan Party after any such set-off and application; provided,


however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.  The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party and their respective Affiliates under this Section 9.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that the Administrative Agent, such Lender Party and their respective Affiliates may have.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Defaulting Lender exercises any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.21(a) and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Banks and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

SECTION 9.06.Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each Borrower named on the signature pages hereto, each Guarantor named on the signature pages hereto and the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Initial Lender and each initial Issuing Bank that such Initial Lender or such initial Issuing Bank, as the case may be, has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers named on the signature pages hereto, the Guarantors named on the signature pages hereto and the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither any Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of all of the Lender Parties and the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents.
SECTION 9.07.Assignments and Participations; Replacement Notes  (aa)  Each Lender may (and, if demanded by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.10(g) or 9.01(b) will) assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of one or more of the Tranches (and any assignment of a Commitment or an Advance must be made to an Eligible Assignee that is capable of lending in the Committed Foreign Currencies related to such Commitment and Advance), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or a Fund Affiliate of any Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Commitments being assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such assignment (determined as of the Transfer Date) shall in no event be less than the Commitment Minimum under each Tranche or an integral multiple in excess thereof of $1,000,000 in the case of the U.S. Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche, $1,000,000 in the case of the Multicurrency Revolving Credit Tranche, A$1,000,000 in the case of the Australian Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche, S$1,000,000 in the case of the Singapore Dollar Revolving Credit Tranche, IDR10,000,000,000 in the case of the IDR Revolving Credit Tranche, KRW1,000,000,000 in the case of the KRW-A Revolving Credit Tranche and the KRW-B Revolving Credit Tranche and the Equivalent of $1,000,000 in the case of any Supplemental Tranche (or, in each case, such lesser amount as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of effectiveness of such assignment, the Operating Partnership), (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (iv) no such assignments shall be permitted until the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Lender Parties that syndication of the Commitments hereunder has been completed, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, (v) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.10(g) or 9.01(b) shall be an assignment of all rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement and (vi) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and, except if such assignment is being made by a Lender to an Affiliate or Fund Affiliate of such Lender, the Processing Fee; provided, however, that for each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.10(g) or 9.01(b), the Borrowers shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent the Processing Fee; provided further that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole


discretion, elect to waive the Processing Fee in the case of any assignment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such assignment will be made by any Lender to any Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this sentence and no assignment, transfer, sub-participation or subcontracting in relation to a drawing under this Agreement by a French Borrower may be effected to a Lender incorporated, domiciled, established or acting through a lending office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction.  In the same way, no Lender having made an Advance under this Agreement to a French Borrower shall change its lending office for a lending office situated in a Non-Cooperative Jurisdiction.  In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment will be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Swing Line Bank and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances and participants in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder becomes effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.07(a), then the assignee of such interest will be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(a)Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording in the Register, from and after the later of such Transfer Date or recording, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, hereunder and (ii) the Lender or Issuing Bank assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under Sections 2.10, 2.12, 7.06, 8.05 and 9.04 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall cease to be a party hereto).
(b)By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Lender Party assignor thereunder and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties thereto and hereto as follows:  (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Lender Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any Co-Sustainability Structuring Agent, such assigning Lender Party or any other Lender Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible


Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be.
(c)The Administrative Agent on behalf of the Borrowers shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lender Parties and, with respect to Lender Parties, the Commitment under each Tranche of, and principal amount of (and stated interest on) the Advances owing under each Tranche to, each Lender Party from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender Party hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender Party and an assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers.  In the case of any assignment by a Lender, within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower, at its own expense, shall, if requested by the applicable Lender, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes a new Note payable to such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding Advances purchased by it under each Tranche and any unfunded Commitment assumed by it under each Tranche pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if any assigning Lender has retained any portion of the outstanding Advances under a Tranche or any unfunded Commitment under a Tranche, a new Note payable to such assigning Lender in an amount equal to the portion of such Advances and such unfunded Commitments retained by it hereunder.  Such new Note or Notes, if any, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto.
(e)Each Issuing Bank may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the undrawn portion of its Letter of Credit Commitment at any time; provided, however, that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that immediately prior to such assignment was an Issuing Bank or an assignment of all of an Issuing Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the amount of the Letter of Credit Commitment of the assigning Issuing Bank being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than the Minimum Letter of Credit Commitment and shall be in an integral multiple in excess thereof of $1,000,000 in the case of the U.S. Dollar Letter of Credit Facility, $1,000,000 in the case of the Multicurrency Letter of Credit Facility, A$1,000,000 in the case of the Australian Letter of Credit Facility, IDR10,000,000,000 in the case of the IDR Letter of Credit Facility, KRW1,000,000,000 in the case of the KRW-A Letter of Credit Facility and the KRW-B Letter of Credit Facility, and S$1,000,000 in the case of the Singapore Letter of Credit Facility, (ii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee and (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with the Processing Fee, provided that such fee shall not be payable if the assigning Issuing Bank is making such assignment simultaneously with the assignment in its capacity as a Lender of all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment to the same Eligible Assignee.


(f)The assignee may, with respect to an assignment of rights by a Lender under this Agreement with respect to any French Borrower, if it considers it necessary to make such assignment effective as against any third party, arrange for the Assignment and Acceptance to be notified to such French Borrower by a bailiff (huissier) in accordance with article 1690 of the French Civil Code.  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the non-compliance by the assignee with the provisions of this paragraph (g) affect the validity of transfer of rights and obligations or the validity of the assignment of rights as the case may be.
(g)Each Lender Party may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than any natural person or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person, or Loan Party or any of its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes (if any) held by it) without the consent of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, any Co-Sustainability Structuring Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Swing Line Bank; provided, however, that (i) such Lender Party’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitments) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender Party shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender Party shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Co-Sustainability Structuring Agents and the other Lender Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender Party in connection with such Lender Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except that any agreement with respect to such participation may provide that such participant shall have a right to approve such amendment, waiver or consent to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, and (vi) if, at the time of such sale, such Lender Party was entitled to payments under Section 2.12(a) or (e) in respect of withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Indemnified Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future as a result of a change in law or other amounts otherwise includable in Indemnified Taxes) withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to such participant on such date, provided that such participant complies with the requirements of Section 2.12(g) as if it were a Lender, such participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(g) as if it were an assignee under this Section 9.07, and such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 (a) or (e) than such Lender Party would have been entitled to receive.  Each Lender Party that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) each participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender Party shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender Party shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(h)Any Lender Party may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to any Borrower furnished to such Lender Party by or on behalf of any Borrower; provided, however, that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed


assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information received by it from such Lender Party in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.12.
(i)In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment will be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Swing Line Banks and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances relating to the applicable Tranche and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Advances in accordance with its Applicable Pro Rata Share.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder becomes effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.07(j), then the assignee of such interest will be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
(j)(i)  If a Lender changes its name it shall, at its own costs and within seven (7) Business Days from the date of the name change, provide and deliver to the Administrative Agent an original or certified true copy of a legal opinion issued by the legal advisers to such Lender in the jurisdiction where such Lender is incorporated, addressed to the Administrative Agent (in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent):  (A) identifying the Lender which has changed its name, its new name, the date from which the change has taken effect; and (B) confirming that the Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents remain legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations even after the change of name.
(i)If a Lender is involved in a corporate reorganization or reconstruction, it shall at its own costs and within seven (7) Business Days from the effective date of such corporate reorganization or reconstruction, provide and deliver to the Administrative Agent:  (A) an original or certified true copy of a legal opinion issued by the legal advisers to such Lender in each of the jurisdictions where such Lender is incorporated and where the Lender’s Applicable Lending Office is located; and (B) an original or certified true copy of a legal opinion issued by the legal advisers to such Lender in each of those jurisdictions governing the Loan Documents confirming that such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents remain legal, valid and binding obligations enforceable as against the surviving entity after the corporate reorganization or reconstruction.
(ii)If a Lender fails to provide and deliver to the Administrative Agent any of the legal opinions referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, it shall upon the request of the Administrative Agent, sign and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, transferring all its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to the new entity.
(k)Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender Party may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it, if any), including in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other central bank in accordance with applicable local laws or regulations.
(l)Upon notice to the applicable Borrower from the Administrative Agent or any Lender of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Lender’s Note, such Borrower will execute and deliver, in lieu of such original Note, a replacement promissory note, identical in form and substance to, and dated as of the same


date as, the Note so lost, stolen or mutilated, subject to delivery by such Lender to such Borrower of an affidavit of lost note and indemnity in customary form.  Upon the execution and delivery of the replacement Note, all references herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to the lost, stolen or mutilated Note shall be deemed references to the replacement Note.
(m)In order to comply with the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (Wet op het financieel toezicht), any Commitments, Advances or any Notes related thereto assigned to any assignee or any participations to any participant under this Section 9.07, as to which a Person domiciled in The Netherlands is a Borrower, shall be in each case in a principal amount of at least €100,000 (or its equivalent in any other currencies) per Lender or participant, as the case may be, or such other amount as may be required from time to time by the Dutch Financial Supervision Act (or implementing legislation), or if less, such assignee or participant shall confirm in writing to the Borrowers that it is a professional market party within the meaning of the Dutch Financial Supervision Act.
SECTION 9.08.Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto or thereto, as applicable, in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement or any other Loan Document by email (with the executed counterpart of the signature pages attached to the email in .pdf format or similar format) shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as applicable.  Copies of originals, including copies delivered by .pdf or other electronic means, shall have the same import and effect as original counterparts and shall be valid, enforceable and binding for the purposes of this Agreement and each other Loan Document.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to accept an electronic signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it.  Without limitation of the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such electronic signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lender Parties shall be entitled to rely on any such electronic signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any other party hereto (or to any other Loan Document) without further verification and regardless of the appearance or form of such electronic signature and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, any electronic signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart.  Each Loan Party hereby waives (i) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement and/or such other Loan Document and (ii) any claim against the Administrative Agent, each Lender Party for any liabilities arising solely from such Person’s reliance on or use of electronic signatures, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Loan Parties to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any electronic signature.
SECTION 9.09.Severability.  In case one or more provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.
SECTION 9.10.Usury Not Intended.  It is the intent of the Borrowers and each Lender Party in the execution and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury laws, including conflicts of law concepts, governing the Advances of each


Lender Party including such applicable laws of the State of New York and the United States of America from time to time in effect.  In furtherance thereof, the Lender Parties and the Borrowers stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate and that for purposes hereof “interest” shall include the aggregate of all charges which constitute interest under such laws that are contracted for, taken, charged, received, reserved or paid under this Agreement; and in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, under any circumstances the aggregate amounts contracted for, taken, charged, received, reserved or paid on the Advances, include amounts which, by applicable law, are deemed interest which would exceed the Maximum Rate, then such excess shall be deemed to be a mistake and, each Lender Party receiving the same shall credit the same on the principal of the Obligations of the applicable Borrowers under the Loan Documents (or if such Obligations shall have been paid in full, refund said excess to such Borrowers).  In the event that the Obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents are accelerated by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest may never include more than the Maximum Rate and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the principal of the Obligations of the applicable Borrowers under the Loan Documents (or, if such Obligations shall have been paid in full, refunded to such Borrowers).  In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingencies exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Borrowers and the Lender Parties shall to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the Facility all amounts considered to be interest under applicable law at any time contracted for, taken, charged, received, reserved or paid in connection with the Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents.  The provisions of this Section shall control over all other provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which may be in apparent conflict herewith.

SECTION 9.11.WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH BORROWER, EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE ADVANCES, THE LETTERS OF CREDIT OR THE ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.
SECTION 9.12.Confidentiality.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender Party shall disclose any Confidential Information to any Person without the prior written consent of the Operating Partnership, other than (a) to such Administrative Agent’s or such Lender Party’s Affiliates, head office, branches and representative offices, and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, a “Recipient”) and between each other as such Recipient shall consider appropriate, and to actual or prospective Eligible Assignees and participants (including such Eligible Assignee or participant’s Affiliates, Related Funds and professional advisors), and then only on a confidential basis, (b) as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process, provided that, to the extent legally permissible and practicable, the Administrative Agent or Lender Party, as applicable, shall provide prior written notice of such disclosure to the Operating Partnership in order to permit the Operating Partnership to seek confidential treatment of such information, (c) as requested or required by any state, Federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating, or self-regulatory body having or claiming oversight over, such Lender, provided that, to the extent legally permissible and practicable, the Administrative Agent or Lender Party, as applicable, shall provide prior written notice of such disclosure to the Operating Partnership in order to permit the Operating Partnership to seek confidential treatment of such information, (d) to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender, (e) to any service provider of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, provided that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made pursuant to this clause (e) will be informed of the confidential nature of such


Confidential Information and shall have agreed in writing to keep such Confidential Information confidential, (f) to any Person that holds a security interest in all or any portion of any Lender’s rights under this Agreement, provided that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made pursuant to this clause (f) will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and shall (except with respect to any Applicable Governmental Authority) have agreed in writing to keep such Confidential Information confidential, (g) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (h) to the extent required for the purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense or a defense against a claim that the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, as applicable, has breached its confidentiality obligations, (i) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.12, to any actual or prospective party to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to any Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (j) to other Lender Parties and (k) with the prior written consent of the Borrowers; and in each case the Borrowers hereby consent to the disclosure by the Administrative Agent and any Lender Party of Confidential Information that is made in strict accordance with clauses (a) to (k), and the disclosure of other information relating to the Borrowers and the transactions hereunder that does not constitute Confidential Information.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or any other document, the parties hereby agree that (x) each party (and each employee, representative, or other agent of such party) may each disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the United States tax treatment and United States tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to each party relating to such United States tax treatment and United States tax structure and (y) the Administrative Agent may disclose the identity of any Defaulting Lender to the other Lenders and the Borrowers if requested by any Lender or any Borrower.  In acting as the Administrative Agent, Citibank shall be regarded as acting through its agency division which shall be treated as a separate division from any of its other divisions or departments and, notwithstanding any of the Administrative Agent’s disclosure obligations hereunder, any information received by any other division or department of Citibank may be treated as confidential and shall not be regarded as having been given to Citibank’s agency division.  Each Recipient may disclose any Confidential Information pursuant to and subject to clauses (b) and (c) above.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein prohibits any individual from communicating or disclosing Confidential Information regarding suspected violations of laws, rules, or regulations to any Applicable Governmental Authority without any notification to any person.

For the purposes of the Personal Data Protection Act (2012) of Singapore, each of the Loan Parties acknowledges that it has read and understood the Customer Circular relating to the Personal Data Protection Act (for Corporate and Institutional Customers) (the “Privacy Circular”), which is available at www.citibank.com.sg/icg/pdpacircular or upon request, and which explains the purposes for which a Lender Party may collect, use, disclose and process (collectively, “process”) personal data of natural persons.  Each of the Loan Parties warrants that to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, it has provided notice to and obtained consent from relevant natural persons to allow the Lender Parties to process its personal data as described in the Privacy Circular as may be updated from time to time, prior to disclosure of such personal data to such Lender Party.  Each of the Loan Parties further warrants that any such consent has been granted by these natural persons.

SECTION 9.13.Patriot Act; Anti-Money Laundering Notification; Beneficial Ownership.

Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that (a) pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) and other Anti-Corruption Laws and anti-terrorism laws and regulations, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act and such other Anti-Corruption Laws and anti-terrorism laws and regulations and (b) pursuant to the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required, to the extent that any Borrower qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under


the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, to obtain a Beneficial Ownership Certification in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement.  The Parent Guarantor and the Borrowers shall, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to, provide, to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to assist the Administrative Agent or Lender in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act and other Anti-Corruption Laws and anti-terrorism laws and regulations including Sanctions.

SECTION 9.14.Jurisdiction, Etc.  (bb)  Except to the extent set forth in clause (c) below, each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each such party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.  Each such party further agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Except to the extent set forth in clause (c) below, nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(a)Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party in any New York State or Federal court.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(b)Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any applicable law, each Loan Party not formed or incorporated in the United States:  (i) appoints the Initial Process Agent (as defined below) as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the courts described in Section 9.14(a) in connection with the Loan Documents and (ii) agrees that failure by any Process Agent (as defined below) to notify any Loan Party of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned.  If any Person appointed as a Process Agent is unable for any reason to act as agent for service of process, the Borrowers shall immediately (and in any event within ten (10) days of such event taking place) appoint another process agent on terms acceptable to the Administrative Agent (such replacement process agent and the Initial Process Agent, each a “Process Agent”).  Failing this, the Administrative Agent may appoint another process agent for this purpose.  “Initial Process Agent” means:

Corporation Service Company (CSC)
19 West 44th Street, Suite 200
New York, New York 10036

SECTION 9.15.Governing Law.  This Agreement, including Section 9.14, and the other Loan Documents, including but not limited to the validity, interpretation, construction, breach, enforcement or termination hereof and thereof, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.
SECTION 9.16.Judgment Currency.  (cc)  If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such


other currency at Citibank N.A.’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

(a)The obligation of each Loan Party in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the “Relevant Currency”) to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (including by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender, as the case may be), of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Relevant Currency with such other currency.  If the amount of the Relevant Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the Relevant Currency, each Loan Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the Relevant Currency so purchased exceeds such sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the Relevant Currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) agrees to promptly remit to the applicable Loan Party such excess.
SECTION 9.17.Substitution of Currency; Changes in Market Practices.  (dd)  If a change in any foreign currency occurs pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation of any governmental, monetary or multi-national authority, this Agreement (including, without limitation, the definition of Eurocurrency Rate) will be amended to the extent determined by the Administrative Agent (acting reasonably and in consultation with the Borrowers) to be necessary to reflect the change in currency (and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to such change in currency) and to put the Lender Parties and the Borrowers in the same position, so far as possible, that they would have been in if no change in such foreign currency had occurred.
(a)Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrowers) may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.
SECTION 9.18.No Fiduciary Duties.  Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Administrative Agent, any Lender Party or any Affiliate thereof, on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other.  The Loan Parties agree that the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions.  Each Loan Party agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto.  Each of the Loan Parties acknowledges that the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties and their respective Affiliates may have interests in, or may be providing or may in the future provide financial or other services to other parties with interests which a Loan Party may regard as conflicting with its interests and may possess information (whether or not material to the Loan Parties) other than as a result of (x) the Administrative Agent acting as administrative agent hereunder or (y) the Lender Parties acting as lenders hereunder, that the Administrative Agent or any such Lender Party may not be entitled to share with any Loan Party.  Without prejudice to the foregoing, each of the Loan Parties agrees that the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties and their respective Affiliates may (a) deal (whether for its own or its customers’ account) in, or advise on, securities of any Person, and (b) accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with other Persons in each case, as if the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent and as if the Lender Parties were not Lender Parties, and without any duty to account therefor to the Loan Parties.  Each of the Loan Parties hereby irrevocably waives, in favor of the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties and the Arrangers, any conflict of interest which may arise by virtue of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and/or


the Lender Parties acting in various capacities under the Loan Documents or for other customers of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Lender Party as described in this Section 9.18.

SECTION 9.19.Removal of Borrowers.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.01(a), so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing and subject to Section 5.01(j), the Operating Partnership shall have the right to remove any Subsidiary of the Operating Partnership as a Borrower under the Facility that has no Advances to it outstanding at the time of such removal by providing written notice of such removal to the Administrative Agent.  Any such notice given in accordance with this Section 9.19 shall be effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly give the Lenders notice of such removal.  After the receipt of such written notice by the Administrative Agent, such Subsidiary shall cease to be a Borrower hereunder.  Once removed pursuant to this Section 9.19, such Subsidiary shall have no right to borrow under the Facility unless the Operating Partnership provides notice as required pursuant to Section 5.01(p) of the request again to add such Subsidiary as an Additional Borrower hereunder and such Subsidiary complies with the conditions set forth in Section 5.01(p) to become an Additional Borrower hereunder.
SECTION 9.20.Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b)the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
SECTION 9.21.Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Guaranteed Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the


benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.  In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.  Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
(b)As used in this Section 9.21, the following terms have the following meanings:
(i)BHC Act Affiliate” of a party means an “affiliate” (as such term is defined under, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k)) of such party.
(ii)Covered Entity” means any of the following:
(iii)a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b);
(iv)a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or
(v)a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b).
(vi)Default Right” has the meaning assigned to that term in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. §§ 252.81, 47.2 or 382.1, as applicable.
(vii)QFC” has the meaning assigned to the term “qualified financial contract” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 5390(c)(8)(D).

(b)Letters of Credit.  (i) Each Issuing Bank severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to issue (or cause its Affiliate that is a commercial bank to issue on its behalf) letters of credit denominated in Yen and to continue any Existing Letters of Credit (set forth on Schedule IV hereto) (such letters of credit issued hereunder and such Existing Letters of Credit being the “Letters of Credit”), for the account of any Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until 10 Business Days before the Termination Date in an aggregate Available Amount (A) for all Letters of Credit not to exceed at any time the Letter of Credit Facility at such time, (B) for all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank not to exceed such Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment at such time, and (C) for each such Letter of Credit not to exceed the Unused Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders at such time.
(i)Letter of Credit Requirements.  No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date (including all rights of any Borrower or the beneficiary to require renewal) later than (A) in the case of a Standby Letter of Credit, the earlier of (1) 10 Business Days before the Termination Date and (2) one year after the date of issuance thereof, but may by its terms be automatically renewable for additional twelve month periods and (B) in the case of a Trade Letter of Credit, the earlier of (1) 10 Business Days  before the Termination Date, and (2) 180 days after the date of issuance thereof; provided, however, that the terms of each Standby Letter of Credit that is automatically renewable annually shall (x) permit the applicable Issuing Bank to prevent any such automatic renewal at least once in each twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit) by providing prior notice to the beneficiary not later than a day (a “Non-Renewal Notice Date”) in each twelve month period to be agreed upon at the time such Standby Letter of Credit is issued, (y) permit such beneficiary, upon receipt of such notice, to draw under such Standby Letter of Credit prior to the date such Standby Letter of Credit

otherwise would have been automatically renewed and (z) not permit the expiration date (after giving effect to any renewal) of such Standby Letter of Credit in any event to be extended to a date later than 10 Business Days before the Termination Date.  Unless otherwise directed by the applicable Issuing Bank, no Borrower shall be required to make a specific request to the applicable Issuing Bank for any such automatic renewal.  Once a Standby Letter of Credit has been issued, the applicable Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the applicable Issuing Bank to permit the renewal of such Standby Letter of Credit, provided that the applicable Issuing Bank shall not permit any such renewal if such Issuing Bank (A) has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no obligation, at such time to issue such Standby Letter of Credit in its revised form (as extended) under the terms hereof, or (B) has received notice (which may be by telephone or in writing) at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Non-Renewal Notice Date from the Administrative Agent or any Borrower that one or more of the applicable conditions specified in Section 3.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such case directing such Issuing Bank not to permit such renewal.  Within the limits of the Letter of Credit Facility, and subject to the limits referred to above, the applicable Borrowers may request the issuance of Letters of Credit under this Section 2.01(b), repay any Letter of Credit Advances resulting from drawings thereunder pursuant to Section 2.03(c) and request the issuance of additional Letters of Credit under this Section 2.01(b).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the date on which the Borrowers give notice of their election to extend the Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.16, all references in this Section 2.01(b) to “10 Business Days before the Termination Date” shall be deemed to refer to 10 Business Days before the Termination Date that will apply following the effectiveness of such extension.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Issuing Bank shall be under any obligation to issue any Letter of Credit if (i) any order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or arbitrator shall by its terms purport to enjoin or restrain such Issuing Bank from issuing such Letter of Credit, or any applicable law to such Issuing Bank or any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any governmental authority with jurisdiction over such Issuing Bank shall prohibit, or request that such Issuing Bank refrain from, the issuance of letters of credit generally or (ii) such Letter of Credit in particular or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any restriction, reserve or capital requirement with respect to such Letter of Credit (for which such Issuing Bank is not otherwise compensated hereunder) not in effect on the Closing Date or shall impose upon such Issuing Bank any unreimbursed loss, cost or expense which was not applicable on the Closing Date and which such Issuing Bank in good faith deems material to it or (iii) the issuance of such Letter of Credit would violate any applicable laws or policies of such Issuing Bank applicable to letters of credit generally.
(ii)If, as of the Termination Date, any Letter of Credit would for any reason remain outstanding, the Borrowers shall, on or prior to the Termination Date, Cash Collateralize the then outstanding Available Amount of such Letter of Credit in the same currency as such Letter of Credit.
SECTION 2.02.Making the Advances; Applicable Borrowers.  (a)  Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.03, each Borrowing including the initial Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than the Notice of Borrowing Deadline by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall provide each relevant Lender with prompt notice thereof by email or facsimile.  Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be in writing and sent by email or facsimile, in each case in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) [reserved], (iii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iv) aggregate amount of such Borrowing, (v) the initial Interest Period for each such Advance, (vi) [reserved] and (vii) the applicable Borrower or Borrowers proposing such Borrowing.  If the Borrowers shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Revolving Credit Advance, an Interest Period of one month shall apply.  Each Lender shall, before the Funding Deadline, make available for the account

40

of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing in accordance with the respective Commitments of such Lender and the other Lenders.  After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the applicable Borrower by crediting the Borrower’s Account.

(b)[reserved].
(c)[reserved].
(d)Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) no Borrower may select TIBOR Rate Advances for any Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less than the Revolving Credit Borrowing Minimum or if the obligation of the Lenders to make TIBOR Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.07(d), Section 2.07(f), or Section 2.10 and (ii) there may not be more than 15 separate Interest Periods outstanding at any time.
(e)Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers.  The Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.
(f)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to 12:00 P.M. (Tokyo time) two Business Days prior to the date of any Borrowing consisting of TIBOR Rate Advances that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and, the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the applicable Borrower on such date a corresponding amount.  If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrowers severally agree to repay or pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount and to pay interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to any Borrower until the date such amount is repaid or paid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrowers, the higher of (A) the interest rate applicable at such time under Section 2.07 to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (B) the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent in respect of such amount and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent in respect of such amount.  If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for all purposes.
(g)The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.
(h)[Reserved].
(i)Each Lender may, at its option, make any Advance available to any Borrower by causing any foreign or domestic branch or Affiliate of such Lender to make such Advance; provided, however, that (i) any exercise of such option shall not affect the obligation of such Borrower in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and (ii) nothing in this Section 2.02(i) shall be deemed to obligate any

41

Digital Realty – Second Amended and Restated Yen Credit Agreement


Lender to obtain the funds for any Advance in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation or warranty by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Advance in any particular place or manner.
SECTION 2.03.Letters of Credit.  (a)  Request for Issuance.  Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon notice, given not later than the fifth Business Day prior to the date of the proposed issuance of such Letter of Credit, by the applicable Borrower to the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall give to the applicable Issuing Bank and each Lender prompt notice thereof by facsimile or email or by means of the Platform.  Each such notice of issuance of a Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Issuance”) shall be in writing by facsimile or email, in each case specifying therein the requested (i) date of such issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) [reserved], (iii) Available Amount of such Letter of Credit, (iv) expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (v) the proposed Borrower, (vi) name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (vii) form of such Letter of Credit, and shall be accompanied by such application and agreement for letter of credit as such Issuing Bank may specify to the applicable Borrower for use in connection with such requested Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Agreement”).  Any application for a Letter of Credit may be made by any Borrower.  If (y) the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion and (z) it has not received notice of objection to such issuance from the Required Lenders, such Issuing Bank will, upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make such Letter of Credit available to the applicable Borrower at its office referred to in Section 9.02 or as otherwise agreed with the applicable Borrower in connection with such issuance.  In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.  All Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to have been issued pursuant to this Section 2.03(a).
(b)Letter of Credit Reports.  Each Issuing Bank shall furnish (i) to each relevant Lender and the Operating Partnership on the last Business Day of each month a written report summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the preceding month and drawings during such month under all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and (ii) to the Administrative Agent, each relevant Lender and the Operating Partnership on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter a written report setting forth the average daily aggregate Available Amount during the preceding calendar quarter of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.
(c)Drawing; Letter of Credit Purchase of Pro Rata Shares of Advances.  The payment by any Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by such Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit Advance, which shall be a TIBOR Rate Advance, in the amount of such draft.  Upon written demand by (x) the Administrative Agent, with a copy of such demand to the applicable Issuing Bank or (y) any Issuing Bank with an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance, with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall, as applicable, purchase from the applicable Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall sell and assign to each Lender (and with respect to any Existing Letter of Credit issued by an Existing Issuing Bank, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from such Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold and assigned to each Lender, in each case on the Effective Date), such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Letter of Credit Advance as of the date of such purchase, by making available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank, by deposit to the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Letter of Credit Advance to be purchased by such Lender.  Promptly after receipt thereof, the Administrative Agent shall transfer such funds to such Issuing Bank.  The Borrowers hereby agree to each such sale and assignment.  Each Lender agrees to purchase its Pro Rata Share of an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance (i) no later than three Business Days after the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by the applicable Issuing Bank, provided that, in each case, notice of such demand is given not later than the L/C Purchasing Notice Deadline, or (ii) the first Business Day

42

Digital Realty – Second Amended and Restated Yen Credit Agreement


next succeeding the funding date set forth in the applicable notice of demand if such notice of such demand is given after any L/C Purchasing Notice Deadline.  Upon any such assignment by an Issuing Bank to any Lender of a portion of a Letter of Credit Advance, such Issuing Bank represents and warrants to such Lender that such Issuing Bank is the legal and beneficial owner of such interest being assigned by it, free and clear of any liens, but makes no other representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to such Letter of Credit Advance, the Loan Documents or any Loan Party.  If and to the extent that any Lender shall not have so made the amount of such Letter of Credit Advance available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by such Issuing Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, equal to the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank for its account or the account of such Issuing Bank, as applicable.  If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of such Issuing Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Letter of Credit Advance made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Letter of Credit Advance made by such Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day.
(d)Failure to Make Letter of Credit Advances.  The failure of any Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by it on the date specified in Section 2.03(c) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Letter of Credit Advance on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by such other Lender on such date.
(e)Defaulting Lenders.  If any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, if any Letter of Credit is at the time outstanding that such Defaulting Lender may be required to fund on hereunder, the applicable Issuing Bank may (except, in the case of a Defaulting Lender, to the extent the Commitments have been fully reallocated pursuant to Section 2.21), by written notice to the Borrowers and such Defaulting Lender through the Administrative Agent, require the Borrowers to Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrowers to such Issuing Bank in respect of such Letter of Credit in amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the unreallocated obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender to be applied pro rata in respect thereof, or to make other arrangements reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank in its reasonable discretion to protect such Issuing Bank against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender.  In furtherance of the foregoing, if any Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, each Issuing Bank that has issued a Letter of Credit upon which such Defaulting Lender may be required to fund on hereunder is hereby authorized by the Borrowers (which authorization is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to give, in its discretion, through the Administrative Agent, Notices of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(a) in such amounts and in such times as may be required to (i) reimburse an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance, and/or (ii) Cash Collateralize the obligations of the Borrowers in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount at least equal to the aggregate amount of the obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender in respect of such Letter of Credit.
(f)[Reserved].  
(g)ISP or UCP.  Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the applicable Issuing Bank and the applicable Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued, (i) the rules of the International Standby Practices (the “ISP”) shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit and (ii) the rules of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, as most recently published by the International Chamber of Commerce at the time of issuance (“UCP”, and each of the UCP and the ISP, an “ICC Rule”), shall apply to each commercial Letter of Credit.  Each Issuing Bank’s privileges, rights and remedies under such ICC Rules shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, its privileges, rights and remedies expressly provided for herein and pursuant to applicable laws governing the Letter of Credit.  The UCP and the ISP (or such

43

Digital Realty – Second Amended and Restated Yen Credit Agreement


later revision of either) shall serve, in the absence of proof to the contrary, as evidence of general banking usage with respect to the subject matter thereof.
(h)Conflict with Issuer Documents.  In the event of any conflict between the terms of hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.
(i)Letter of Credit Amounts.  Unless otherwise specified herein, the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be deemed to be the stated amount of such Letter of Credit in effect at such time; provided, however, that with respect to any Letter of Credit that, by its terms or the terms of any Issuer Document related thereto, provides for one or more automatic increases in the stated amount thereof, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be deemed to be the maximum stated amount of such Letter of Credit after giving effect to all such increases, whether or not such maximum stated amount is in effect at such time.
(j)Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries.  Notwithstanding that a Letter of Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account of, a Subsidiary of any Borrower, the Borrowers shall be obligated as primary obligors to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank hereunder for any and all drawings under such Letter of Credit and irrevocably waive any defenses that might otherwise be available to them as guarantors or sureties of obligations of such Subsidiary to the extent described and waived in Section 7.02, mutatis mutandis.  The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that the issuance of Letters of Credit for the account of any of their Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrowers, and that the Borrowers’ businesses derive substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.  To the extent that any Letter of Credit is issued for the account of any Subsidiary of a Borrower which is not a Guarantor, such Borrower agrees that (i) such Subsidiary shall have no rights against any Lender, the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, (ii) such Borrower shall be responsible for the obligations in respect of such Letter of Credit under this Agreement and any application or reimbursement agreement, (iii) such Borrower shall have sole right to give instructions and make agreements with respect to this Agreement and such Letter of Credit, and the disposition of documents related thereto, and (iv) such Borrower shall have all powers and rights in respect of any security arising in connection with the Letter of Credit and the transaction related thereto.
SECTION 2.04.Repayment of Advances; Reimbursements.  (a)  Revolving Credit Advances.  The Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Termination Date the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances then outstanding.
(b)[Reserved].
(c)Letter of Credit Advances.  (i)  The Borrowers shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Issuing Bank and each other Lender that has made a Letter of Credit Advance on the Business Day immediately succeeding the day on which such Letter of Credit Advance was made the outstanding principal amount of each Letter of Credit Advance made by each of them.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Borrowers may, at their election, repay Letter of Credit Advances with the proceeds of Revolving Credit Advances that are advanced in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(ii)The Obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement, any Letter of Credit Agreement and any other agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit (and the obligations of each Lender to reimburse the Issuing Banks with respect thereto) shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letter of Credit Agreement and such other agreement or instrument under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following circumstances:

(C)the existence of any claim, counterclaim, set-off, defense or other right that any Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any Persons for which any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated by the L/C Related Documents or any unrelated transaction;
(D)any draft, certificate, statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(G)any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Borrower or Guarantor.
(iii)The Borrowers shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrowers’ instructions or other irregularity, the Borrowers will promptly notify the applicable Issuing Bank.

Digital Realty – Second Amended and Restated Yen Credit Agreement


gross negligence as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit or (ii) such Issuing Bank’s willful failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and certificates strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, each Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and such Issuing Bank shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.

(b)The Borrowers may, if no Notice of Borrowing is then outstanding, terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.11(g) and Section 2.13(b) will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrowers for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts), provided that such termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.
(c)The Letter of Credit Facility shall be permanently reduced from time to time on the date of each reduction in the Revolving Credit Facility by the amount, if any, by which the amount of the Letter of Credit Facility exceeds the Revolving Credit Facility after giving effect to such reduction of the Revolving Credit Facility, provided that neither the Letter of Credit Facility nor the Revolving Credit Facility shall be reduced below an amount equal to the aggregate unused amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit under the Letter of Credit Facility at any time.

Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to any Benchmark, the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any such Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders and the Borrowers without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from the Required Lenders.  At any time that the

48

Digital Realty – Second Amended and Restated Yen Credit Agreement


administrator of any then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator or the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative and will not be restored, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Advances referencing such Benchmark shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected amounts or Interest Periods (as applicable)) and any outstanding loans in such currency shall immediately or, in the case of a term rate at the end of the applicable Interest Period, be prepaid in full.  
(ii)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with the implementation and administration of any Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right (in consultation with the Borrowers) to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.
(iii)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  For the avoidance of doubt, any notice required to be delivered by the Administrative Agent as set forth in this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting” may be provided, at the option of the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion), in one or more notices and may be delivered together with, or as part of any amendment which implements any Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, the Borrowers or any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting”.
(iv)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark. At any time (including in connection with the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement), (A) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate, then the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrowers) may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (B) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.
(v)Disclaimer. The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (A) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to any Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referenced in the definition thereof or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as, such Benchmark or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (B) the effect, implementation or composition of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any Benchmark, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any

49

Digital Realty – Second Amended and Restated Yen Credit Agreement


relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrowers.  The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrowers, any Lender Party or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.
(vi)Certain Defined Terms.

As used in this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting”:

Available Tenor” means, as of any date of determination and with respect to any then-current Benchmark for any currency, as applicable, (x) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate, any tenor for such Benchmark that is or may be used for determining the length of an Interest Period or (y) otherwise, any payment period for interest calculated with reference to such Benchmark, as applicable, pursuant to this Agreement as of such date.

Benchmark” means, initially, TIBOR; provided, however, that if a replacement of an initial or subsequent Benchmark has occurred pursuant to this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting”, then “Benchmark” means the applicable Benchmark Replacement to the extent that such Benchmark Replacement has replaced such prior benchmark rate.  Any reference to “Benchmark” shall include, as applicable, the published component used in the calculation thereof.

Benchmark Replacement” means, for any Available Tenor, the sum of (i) the alternate benchmark rate and (ii) an adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero), in each case, that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers as the replacement for such Available Tenor of such Benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then-prevailing market convention, including any applicable recommendations made by the Relevant Governmental Body, for syndicated credit facilities at such time denominated in the applicable currency in the U.S. syndicated loan market; provided, however, that, if the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to this definition would be less than the applicable Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the applicable Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes” means, with respect to any Benchmark Replacement, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Business Day,” the definition of “Interest Period,” timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, the applicability and length of lookback periods, the applicability of breakage provisions, the formula for calculating any successor rates identified pursuant to the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”, the formula, methodology or convention for applying the successor Floor to the successor Benchmark Replacement and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides (in consultation with the Borrowers) may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of such Benchmark Replacement and to permit the administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of such Benchmark Replacement exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

50

Benchmark Transition Event” means, with respect to any then-current Benchmark, the occurrence of one or more of the following events: a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of any then-current Benchmark, the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the central bank for the currency applicable to such Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark, announcing or stating that (a) such administrator has ceased or will cease on a specified date to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark or (b) all Available Tenors of such Benchmark are or will no longer be representative and that representativeness will not be restored.

Relevant Governmental Body” means (1) the Bank of Japan or any central bank or other supervisor which is responsible for supervising either (A) such Benchmark Replacement or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark Replacement or (2) any working group or committee officially endorsed or convened by (A) Bank of Japan, (B) any central bank or other supervisor that is responsible for supervising either (i) such Benchmark Replacement or (ii) the administrator of such Benchmark Replacement, (C) a group of those central banks or other supervisors or (D) the Financial Stability Board or any part thereof.

SECTION 2.08.Fees.  (a)  Unused Fees.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders an unused commitment fee (each, an “Unused Fee”) in Yen, from the date hereof in the case of each Initial Lender and from the Transfer Date applicable to the Assignment and Acceptance or the effective date specified in the Lender Accession Agreement, as the case may be, pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender until the Termination Date.  Each Unused Fee payable for the account of each Lender shall be calculated for each period for which such Unused Fee is payable on the average daily Unused Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during such period at the Applicable Margin for Unused Fees.  Each Unused Fee shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the Termination Date (and, if applicable, thereafter on demand).  Each Unused Fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and if there is any change in the Applicable Margin during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be computed and multiplied by the Applicable Margin separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Margin was in effect.
(b)Letter of Credit Fees, Etc.  (i)  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commission (the “Letter of Credit Fee”) in Yen, payable in arrears, (A) quarterly on the last day of each December, March, June and September, commencing December 31, 2024, (B) on the earliest to occur of the full drawing, expiration, termination or cancellation of any Letter of Credit, and (C) on the Termination Date, on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the average daily aggregate Available Amount during such quarter of all Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for TIBOR Rate Advances in effect from time to time.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Applicable Margin for purposes of this Section 2.08(b)(i) shall take into account any applicable Sustainability Margin Adjustment.
(ii)The Borrowers shall pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, (A) a fronting fee for each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank in an amount equal to 0.125% of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, payable on such date and (B) such other customary commissions, issuance fees, transfer fees and other fees and charges in connection with the issuance or administration of each Letter of Credit as the Borrowers and such Issuing Bank shall agree.

(f)Japan Usury Savings.  With respect to a Borrower that is doing business in Japan (excluding a TMK or an entity prescribed in Article 1, Paragraph 2 of the Act on Specified Commitment Line Contract of Japan (Law No.4 of 1999, as amended)), such Borrower shall not be obligated to pay the fees set forth in this Section 2.08 to the extent (but only to the extent) such payment would violate any applicable usury laws of Japan.
SECTION 2.09.[Reserved].
SECTION 2.10.Increased Costs, Etc.  (a)  If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation, administration or application of any law or regulation or (ii) compliance with any law or regulation made after the date of this Agreement there shall be (i) a reduction in the rate of return from any Advances or on a Lender Party’s (or its Affiliate’s) overall capital, (ii) any additional or increased cost or (iii) a reduction of any amount due and payable under any Loan Document, which is incurred or suffered by any Lender Party or any of its Affiliates to the extent that it is attributable to that Lender Party of agreeing to issue or of issuing or maintaining or participating in Letters of Credit or of agreeing to make or of making or maintaining Letter of Credit Advances or funding or performing its obligations under any Loan Document or Letter of Credit (excluding, for purposes of this Section 2.10, any such increased costs resulting from (A) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.12 shall govern), (B) Excluded Taxes, changes in the rate or basis of taxation of net income or gross income by the United States, by any jurisdiction in which a Borrower is located or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender Party is organized or has its Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof, (C) any Tax attributable to any Lender Party’s failure or inability (other than any inability as a result of a change in law) to comply with Section 2.12(g), (D) [reserved], (E) any Tax imposed pursuant to FATCA or (F) the willful breach by the relevant Lender Party or any of its Affiliates of any law or regulation or the terms of any Loan Document), then the Borrowers shall from time to time, within 10 Business Days after demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party for such increased cost; provided, however, that a Lender Party claiming additional amounts under this Section 2.10(a) agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates if the making of such a designation or assignment would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party.  A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost shall be

52

submitted to the Borrowers by such Lender Party and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent fraud or manifest error; provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be required to disclose any information to the extent such disclosure would be prohibited by applicable law.

(b)If any Lender Party determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender Party or any corporation controlling such Lender Party and that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender Party’s commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder and other commitments of such type or the issuance or maintenance of or participation in the Letters of Credit (or similar contingent obligations), then, within 10 Business Days after demand by such Lender Party or such corporation (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party, from time to time as specified by such Lender Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender Party reasonably determines such increase in capital or liquidity to be allocable to the existence of such Lender Party’s commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder or to the issuance or maintenance of or participation in any Letters of Credit.  A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrowers by such Lender Party shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error; provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be required to disclose any information to the extent such disclosure would be prohibited by applicable law.  For purposes of this Section 2.10, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, guidelines, and directives in connection therewith and (ii) 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 gone into effect and been adopted after the date of this Agreement.
(c)[Reserved].
(d)[Reserved].
(e)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender Party to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender Party’s right to demand such compensation, provided that no Borrower shall be required to compensate a Lender Party pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender Party notifies the Operating Partnership of the event or circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender Party’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the event or circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(f)If (i) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (ii) any Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or Section 2.10(b), (iii) any Lender gives notice pursuant to Section 2.10(c) or Section 2.10(d) or (iv) any Borrower is required to pay Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any governmental authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12 (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), then the Operating Partnership shall have the right, upon written demand to such Affected Lender and the Administrative Agent at any time thereafter to cause such Affected Lender to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes, if any, held by it) to a Replacement Lender, provided that the proposed assignment does not conflict with applicable laws.  The Replacement Lender shall purchase such interests of the Affected Lender at par and shall assume the rights and obligations of the Affected Lender under this Agreement upon execution by the Replacement

53

Digital Realty – Second Amended and Restated Yen Credit Agreement


Lender of an Assignment and Acceptance delivered pursuant to Section 9.07; provided, however, the Affected Lender shall be entitled to indemnification as otherwise provided in this Agreement with respect to any events occurring prior to such assignment.  Any Lender that becomes an Affected Lender agrees that, upon receipt of notice from the Borrowers given in accordance with this Section 2.10(f) it shall promptly execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with a Replacement Lender as contemplated by this Section 2.10(f).  The execution and delivery of any such Assignment and Acceptance shall not be deemed to comprise a waiver of claims against any Affected Lender by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent or a waiver of any claims against the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent by the Affected Lender.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender shall not be required to make any assignment pursuant to this Section 2.10(f) if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Operating Partnership to require such assignment cease to apply.
SECTION 2.11.Payments and Computations.  (a)  The Borrowers shall make each payment hereunder with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances not later than 2:00 P.M. (New York City time), in each case, on the day when due, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.12), to the Administrative Agent at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account in same day funds, with payments being received by the Administrative Agent after such time being deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day.  Each payment shall be made by the Borrowers in Yen, except to the extent required otherwise hereunder, and the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to accept a payment that is not in the correct currency.  The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by any Borrower is in respect of principal, interest, commitment fees or any other Obligation then payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to more than one Lender Party, to such Lender Parties for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices ratably in accordance with the amounts of such respective Obligations then payable to such Lender Parties in accordance with the applicable Standing Payment Instructions and (ii) if such payment by any Borrower is in respect of any Obligation then payable hereunder to one Lender Party, to such Lender Party for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Upon any Acceding Lender becoming a Lender hereunder as a result of a Commitment Increase pursuant to Section 2.18 and upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Lender’s Lender Accession Agreement and recording of the information contained therein in the Register, from and after the applicable Increase Date, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assumed thereby in accordance with the applicable Standing Payment Instructions.  Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(d), from and after the applicable Transfer Date, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender Party assignee thereunder in accordance with such Lender assignee’s Standing Payment Instructions, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.  In respect of any assignment pursuant to Section 9.07, the effective date of which, in each case, is not on the last day of an Interest Period (A) any interest or fees in respect of the relevant assigned interest in the Facility that are expressed to accrue by reference to the lapse of time shall continue to accrue in favor of the assignor Lender up to but excluding the Transfer Date (the “Accrued Amounts”) and shall become due and payable to the assignor Lender without further interest accruing on them on the last day of the current Interest Period (or, if the Interest Period is longer than six calendar months, on the next of the dates which falls at six monthly intervals after the first day of that Interest Period) and (B) the rights assigned or transferred by the assignor Lender will not include the right to the Accrued Amounts so that, for the avoidance of doubt:  (1) when the Accrued Amounts become payable, those Accrued Amounts will be payable for the account of the assignor Lender and (2) the amount payable to the assignee Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this Section ‎2.11(a), have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.

(b)[Reserved].
(c)All computations of interest based on the TIBOR Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of fees and Letter of Credit commissions shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, fees or commissions are payable.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate, fee or commission hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(d)Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or commitment fee, as the case may be.
(e)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from any Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lender Party hereunder that such Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender Party on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender Party.  If and to the extent such Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender Party shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender Party together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender Party until the date such Lender Party repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent in respect of such amount.
(f)To the extent that the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the amounts owing by any Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement or any Note in currencies other than the currency or currencies required to enable the Administrative Agent to distribute funds to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.11, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to convert or exchange such funds into Dollars or Yen or from Dollars to Yen or from Yen to Dollars, as the case may be, to the extent necessary to enable the Administrative Agent to distribute such funds in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.11, provided that the Borrowers and each of the Lenders hereby agree that the Administrative Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by the Borrowers or such Lender as a result of any conversion or exchange of currencies effected pursuant to this Section 2.11(f) or as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to effect any such conversion or exchange; provided further that the Borrowers agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and hold the Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless, for any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any conversion or exchange of currencies (or the failure to convert or exchange any currencies) in accordance with this Section 2.11(f) save to the extent that it is found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such loss, cost or expense resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender.
(g)Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties in the order of priority set forth below in this Section 2.11(g).  Payments to the Lenders shall be in accordance with the applicable Standing Payment Instructions.  The order of priority shall be as follows:

(d)In addition, but without duplication of amounts payable under Section 2.12(a), the Borrowers shall pay any present or future stamp, documentary, excise, property, intangible, mortgage recording or similar taxes, charges or levies imposed by any Applicable Governmental Authority that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, except any such taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to any assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 2.10(f)) (“Other Taxes”).  All payments to be made by the Loan Parties under or in connection with the Loan Documents have been calculated without regard to Indirect Tax.  If all or part of any such payment is the consideration for a taxable supply or otherwise chargeable with Indirect Tax and if the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party is liable to pay such Indirect Tax to the relevant tax authorities then, when the applicable Loan Party makes the payment (i) it must pay to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender Party, as the case may be, an additional amount equal to that payment (or part) multiplied by the appropriate rate of Indirect Tax and (ii) the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, as applicable, shall promptly provide to the applicable Loan Party a tax invoice complying with the relevant law relating to such Indirect Tax.  Where a Loan Document requires a Loan Party to reimburse the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, as applicable, for any costs or expenses, such Loan Party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, as applicable, an amount equal to any Indirect Tax incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, as applicable, in respect of the costs or expenses, save to the extent that that the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, as applicable, is entitled to repayment or credit in respect of the Indirect Tax.  The Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, as applicable, will promptly provide to the applicable Loan Party a tax invoice complying with the relevant law relating to that Indirect Tax.
(e)Without duplication of Sections 2.12(a) or 2.12(d), the Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender Party and the Administrative Agent for and hold them harmless against the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 2.12, imposed on or paid by such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and reasonable expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.  This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be obligated to make payment to any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 2.12 in respect of any penalties, interest and other liabilities attributable to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes to the extent such penalties, interest and other liabilities are attributable to (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, or (ii) a material breach by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in bad faith of such party’s obligations hereunder, in either case, as found in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(f)As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes by the Borrowers to any Applicable Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.12, the Borrowers shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment or, if such receipts are not obtainable, other evidence of such payments by the Borrowers reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(g)(i)  Any Lender Party (which, for purposes of this Section 2.12(g) shall include the Administrative Agent) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, upon becoming a party to this Agreement and at the time or times reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender Party, upon becoming a party to this Agreement

58

Digital Realty – Second Amended and Restated Yen Credit Agreement


and if reasonably requested by a Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable such Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such entity is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements with respect to such Lender Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any form or document referred to in this subsection (g) (other than any form or document referred to in subsection (g)(ii)(A), (B) or (D) of this Section 2.12) requires the disclosure of information that the applicable Lender Party reasonably considers to be confidential, such Lender Party shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information.
(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:  (A) any Lender Party that is a U.S. person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender Party becomes a Lender Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), duly completed and signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender Party is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding; (B) each Lender Party that is not a U.S. person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) (each, a “Foreign Lender”) shall, to the extent that it is legally entitled to do so, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender, and on the Transfer Date with respect to the Assignment and Acceptance or the date of the Lender Accession Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender Party in the case of each other Lender Party, and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent (but only so long thereafter as such Lender Party remains lawfully able to do so), provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers (1) in the case of a Foreign Lender that is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a statement in a form agreed to between the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers to the effect that such Lender is eligible for a complete exemption from withholding of United States Taxes under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, and (y) two duly completed and signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or successor and related applicable form; or (2) in the case of a Foreign Lender that cannot comply with the requirements of clause (1) hereof, two duly completed and signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (claiming an exemption from or a reduction in United States withholding tax under an applicable treaty) or its successor form, Form W-8ECI (claiming an exemption from United States withholding tax as effectively connected income) or its successor form, or Form W-8IMY (together with any supporting documentation) or its successor form, and related applicable forms, as the case may be; (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender Party under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of any Borrower or the Administrative Agent), duly completed and signed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (D) if a payment made to a Lender Party under any Loan Document would be subject to withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender Party were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender Party shall deliver to the applicable Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by any Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed

59

Digital Realty – Second Amended and Restated Yen Credit Agreement


by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by such Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for such Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender Party has complied with such Lender Party’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for the purposes of this subsection (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(iii)Each Lender Party shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances that would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption from or reduction of Taxes.  Each Lender Party further 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 the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(h)Any Lender Party claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.12 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, (x) be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party or (y) subject such Lender Party to any material unreimbursed cost or expense.
(i)If any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent receives a refund of Taxes or Other Taxes paid by any Borrower or for which the Borrowers have indemnified any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 2.12, then such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall pay such amount, net of any reasonable expenses incurred by such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, to the Borrowers as soon as practicable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Borrowers shall not be entitled to review the tax records or financial information of any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent and (ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender Party shall have any obligation to pursue (and no Loan Party shall have any right to assert) any refund of Taxes or Other Taxes that may be paid by the Borrowers.
(j)To the extent permitted under the Internal Revenue Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations, the Administrative Agent shall (i) act as the withholding agent with respect to the Facility, taking into account that each of the Borrowers as of the date hereof is intended to be treated as an entity disregarded as separate from the Operating Partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes and (ii) prepare and file (on behalf of the Borrowers), and furnish to the applicable Lender Parties, any required Internal Revenue Service Form 1042-S with respect to the Facility.  The Administrative Agent and the Borrowers further agree to mutually cooperate and furnish or cause to be furnished upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax returns and complying with all Tax withholding and information reporting requirements.  With respect to each Borrower, the Administrative Agent agrees to provide the Borrowers information regarding the interest, principal, fees or other amounts payable to each Person pursuant to the Loan Documents by January 31 of each year following the year during which such payment was made.
(k)For purposes of this Section 2.12 (except for purposes of the first sentence of paragraph (i)), references to the Administrative Agent shall include any Affiliate or sub-agent of the Administrative Agent, in each case performing any duties or obligations of the Administrative Agent.  For purposes of this Section 2.12, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
SECTION 2.13.Sharing of Payments, Etc. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(g), if any Lender Party shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary,

60

Digital Realty – Second Amended and Restated Yen Credit Agreement


through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise, other than as a result of an assignment pursuant to Section 9.07 or a payment made by a Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement) (a) on account of Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties under the Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all such Lender Parties under the Loan Documents at such time obtained by all such Lender Parties at such time or (b) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender Party under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all such Lender Parties hereunder at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all such Lender Parties under the Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of such Lender Parties at such time, such Lender Party shall forthwith purchase from such other Lender Parties such interests or participating interests in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender Party to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender Party, such purchase from each other Lender Party shall be rescinded and such other Lender Party shall repay to the purchasing Lender Party the purchase price to the extent of such Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Lender Party to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lender Parties) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender Party’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender Party in respect of the total amount so recovered.  The Borrowers agree that any Lender Party so purchasing an interest or participating interest from another Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.13 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such interest or participating interest, as the case may be, as fully as if such Lender Party were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such interest or participating interest, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.14.Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Advances and issuances of Letters of Credit shall be available (and the Borrowers agree that they shall use such proceeds and Letters of Credit) solely for the acquisition, development and redevelopment of Assets, for repayment of Debt, for working capital and for other general corporate purposes of the Parent Guarantor, the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries.  The Borrowers will not directly or knowingly indirectly use the Letters of Credit or the proceeds of the Advances, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person such extensions of credit or proceeds, (i) to fund any prohibited activities or businesses of or with any Person that at the time of such funding is the target of or subject of Sanctions or in a Sanctioned Jurisdiction, or (ii) in any other manner that would result in a violation of Sanctions by any Person (including any Person participating in the Facility, whether as underwriter, advisor, investor, or otherwise) or any Anti Corruption Laws.
SECTION 2.15.Evidence of Debt.  (a)  Each Lender Party shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of each applicable Borrower to such Lender Party resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender Party from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender Party from time to time hereunder.  The Borrowers agree that upon notice by any Lender Party to any Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is required or appropriate in order for such Lender Party to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender Party, the applicable Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender Party, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a Note, in

61

Digital Realty – Second Amended and Restated Yen Credit Agreement


substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, payable to such Lender Party in a principal amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender Party.  All references to Notes in the Loan Documents shall mean Notes, if any, to the extent issued hereunder.  In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Note shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

(b)The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d) may include a control account and a subsidiary account for each Lender Party.  In each account with respect to each Lender Party (including the control account and subsidiary account, if applicable) there shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period or tenor applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance and Lender Accession Agreement delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from each Borrower to each Lender Party hereunder, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers hereunder and each Lender Party’s share thereof.
(c)Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender Party in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrowers to, in the case of the Register, each Lender Party and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender Party, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrowers under this Agreement.  It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Advances will be treated as in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code (and any other relevant or successor provisions of the Internal Revenue Code).
SECTION 2.16.Extension of Termination Date.  The Borrowers may request, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, (i) at least 30 days but not more than the day occurring 60 days and one year prior to the Termination Date, a six-month extension of the Termination Date with respect to the Commitments then outstanding and (ii) thereafter, an additional six-month extension provided at least 30 days but not more than the day occurring 60 days and one year prior to the Termination Date (as extended pursuant to clause (i) of this sentence) (each, an “Extension Request”).  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such Extension Request and the Termination Date in effect at such time shall, effective as of the applicable Extension Date (as defined below), be extended for an additional six-month period, provided that, on such Extension Date (a) the Administrative Agent shall have received payment in full of the extension fee set forth in Section 2.08(d) and (b) the following statements shall be true and the Administrative Agent shall have received for the benefit of each Lender Party a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Operating Partnership, dated the applicable Extension Date, stating that:  (i) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01 are true and correct in all material respects (unless qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such Extension Date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and accurate in all material respects or all respects, as applicable, on and as of such earlier date)), and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such extension.  “Extension Date” means, in the case of each extension option, the first date after the delivery by the Borrowers of the related Extension Request that the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above are satisfied.  In the event that an extension is effected pursuant to this Section 2.16, the aggregate principal amount of all Advances shall be repaid in full ratably to the Lenders on the Termination Date as so extended.  As of the Extension Date, any and all references in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the “Termination Date” shall refer to the Termination Date as so extended.

SECTION 2.17.Cash Collateral Account.  (a)  Grant of Security.  The Borrowers hereby pledge to the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, and hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in, the Borrowers’ right, title and interest in and to the L/C Cash Collateral Account and all (i) funds and financial assets from time to time credited thereto (including, without limitation, all Cash Equivalents), all interest, dividends, distributions, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such funds and financial assets, and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing the L/C Cash Collateral Account, (ii) and all promissory notes, certificates of deposit, deposit accounts, checks and other instruments from time to time delivered to or otherwise possessed by the Administrative Agent, as collateral agent for or on behalf of the Borrowers, in substitution for or in addition to any or all of the then existing L/C Account Collateral and (iii) all interest, dividends, distributions, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the then existing L/C Account Collateral, in each of the cases set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by the Borrowers, wherever located, and whether now or hereafter existing or arising other than assets located or deemed to be located in Luxembourg (all of the foregoing, collectively, the “L/C Account Collateral”); provided, however, that for so long as a TMK is prohibited under the TMK Law from pledging its assets for the benefit of another Person, any pledge from a Borrower that is a TMK shall solely secure its own obligations hereunder and not the obligation of any other Borrower.
(b)Maintaining the L/C Account Collateral.  So long as any Advance or any other Obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall remain unpaid, any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding, any Guaranteed Hedge Agreement shall be in effect or any Lender Party shall have any Commitment:

SECTION 2.18.Increase in the Aggregate Commitments.  (a)  The Borrowers may, at any time by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request an increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments, which may be in the form of increased Revolving Credit Commitments or one or more Incremental Term Loan Facilities, in each case, by not less than the Increase Minimum in the aggregate (each such proposed increase or Incremental Term Loan Facility, a “Commitment Increase”) to be effective as of a date that is at least 90 days prior to the scheduled Termination Date then in effect (the “Increase Date”) as specified in the related notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of all Commitment Increases made pursuant to this Section 2.18 exceed ¥60,000,000,000 on any Increase Date and (ii) on the date of any request by the Borrowers for a Commitment Increase and on the related Increase Date, the conditions set forth in Sections 3.01(a)(i) and 3.02 shall be satisfied.
(b)The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders and such Eligible Assignees as are designated by the Borrowers of each request by the Borrowers for a Commitment Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amounts of the Commitment Increase, (ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date by which Lenders and such Eligible Assignees wishing to participate in the Commitment Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments or Commitments to the applicable Incremental Term Loan Facility or to establish their Revolving Credit Commitments or their Commitments to such Incremental Term Loan Facility, as applicable (the “Commitment Date”).  Each Lender and Eligible Assignee that is willing to participate in such requested Commitment Increase (each, an “Increasing Lender”) shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase or establish, as applicable, the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender or such Lender’s Commitments to the subject Incremental Term Loan Facility.  If the Lenders and such Eligible Assignees notify the Administrative Agent that they are willing to increase (or establish, as applicable) the amount of their respective Revolving Credit Commitments or increase (or establish, as applicable) their respective Commitments to the applicable Incremental Term Loan Facility, by an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the requested Commitment Increase, the requested Commitment Increase shall be allocated to each Lender and Eligible Assignee willing to participate therein in such a manner as is agreed to by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.  For avoidance of doubt, each Lender’s sole right to approve or consent to any Commitment Increase shall be its right to determine whether to participate, or not to participate, in any Commitment Increase in its sole discretion as provided in this Section 2.18(b).

participate in the requested Commitment Increase; provided, however, that the Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of the Commitment Increase Minimum or an integral multiple in excess thereof of ¥100,000,000, or, if less than the Commitment Increase Minimum, the amount of the requested Commitment Increase that has not been committed to by the Lenders or such Eligible Assignees as of the applicable Commitment Date.
(d)On each Increase Date, (x) each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in a requested Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.18(b) (an “Acceding Lender”) shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date and such Acceding Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment or Commitment to any applicable Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be governed by the terms and provisions of this Agreement and (y) the Revolving Credit Commitment or Commitment to such Incremental Term Loan Facility of each Increasing Lender for such requested Commitment Increase shall be so increased by (or established in) such amount (or by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.18(b)) as of such Increase Date; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have received on or before such Increase Date the following, each dated such date:
(i)an accession agreement from each Acceding Lender, if any, in form and substance satisfactory to the Operating Partnership and the Administrative Agent (each, a “Lender Accession Agreement”), duly executed by such Acceding Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers; and
(ii)confirmation from each Increasing Lender (acknowledged by the Operating Partnership on behalf of the Loan Parties) of the increase in the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment or the establishment of its Commitment to the applicable Incremental Term Loan Facility in a writing satisfactory to the Operating Partnership and the Administrative Agent.

On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2.18(d), the Administrative Agent shall provide reasonable prior notice to the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Acceding Lender) and the Borrowers, by email or facsimile, of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and each Acceding Lender on such date.

(e)On the Increase Date, to the extent the Advances then outstanding and owed to any Lender immediately prior to the effectiveness of such Commitment Increase shall be less than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (calculated immediately following the effectiveness of such Commitment Increase) of all Advances then outstanding that are owed to all Lenders (each such Lender, including any Acceding Lender, an “Increase Purchasing Lender”), then such Increase Purchasing Lender, without executing an Assignment and Acceptance, shall be deemed to have purchased an assignment of a pro rata portion of the Advances then outstanding and owed to each Lender that is not an Increase Purchasing Lender (an “Increase Selling Lender”) in an amount sufficient such that following the effectiveness of all such assignments the Advances outstanding and owed to each Lender shall equal such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (calculated immediately following the effectiveness of such Commitment Increase on the Increase Date) of all Advances then outstanding and owed to all Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall calculate the net amount to be paid by each Increase Purchasing Lender and received by each Increase Selling Lender in connection with the assignments effected hereunder on the Increase Date.  Each Increase Purchasing Lender shall make the amount of its required payment available to the Administrative Agent, in same day funds, at the office of the Administrative Agent not later than the applicable Increase Funding Deadline on the Increase Date or the Business Day immediately prior to the Increase Date, as applicable.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute on the Increase Date the proceeds of such amount to each of the Increase Selling Lenders entitled to receive such payments at its Applicable Lending Office.

(f)If in connection with the transactions described in this Section 2.18 any Lender shall incur any losses, costs or expenses of the type described in Section 9.04(c), then the Borrowers shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for such losses, costs or expenses reasonably incurred.
(g)Each Commitment Increase with respect to an Incremental Term Loan Facility may be made hereunder pursuant to an amendment or restatement of this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender participating in such Incremental Term Loan Facility and the Administrative Agent (each, an “Incremental Term Loan Amendment”).  Each Incremental Term Loan Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to give effect to such Incremental Term Loan Facility.  The terms and provisions of any Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be as follows:
(i)the final maturity date of any such Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be determined by the applicable Borrower and the Increasing Lenders participating in such Incremental Term Loan Facility but shall in no event be earlier than the Termination Date, as the same may be extended pursuant to Section 2.16;
(ii)the Obligations of the Loan Parties in respect of the Incremental Term Loan Facility shall not be guaranteed by any Person that is not a Guarantor under this Agreement; and
(iii)the terms and provisions of the Incremental Term Loan Facility shall be otherwise satisfactory to the applicable Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Increasing Lenders participating in such Incremental Term Loan Facility.

SECTION 2.20.[Reserved].  
SECTION 2.21.Defaulting Lenders.  (a)  If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, the following provisions shall apply with respect to any outstanding Facility Exposure of such Defaulting Lender with respect to the Letter of Credit Facility:
(i)the Facility Exposure of such Defaulting Lender with respect to the Letter of Credit Facility will, subject to the limitation in the first proviso below, automatically be reallocated (effective on the day such Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender) among the Non-Defaulting Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments, provided that (A) the sum of each Non-Defaulting Lender’s total Facility Exposure may not in any event exceed the Commitment of such Non-Defaulting Lender as in effect at the time of such reallocation, (b) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (c) neither such reallocation nor any payment by a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant thereto will constitute a waiver or release of any claim the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party may have against such Defaulting Lender or cause such Defaulting Lender to be a Non-Defaulting Lender;
(ii)to the extent that any portion (the “unreallocated portion”) of the Defaulting Lender’s Facility Exposure with respect to the Letter of Credit Facility cannot be so reallocated, whether by reason of the first proviso in clause (i) above or otherwise, the Borrowers will, not later than three Business Days after demand by the Administrative Agent make arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion to protect the

66

Digital Realty – Second Amended and Restated Yen Credit Agreement


Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties against the risk of non-payment by such Defaulting Lender; and
(iii)any amount paid by a Borrower or otherwise received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account until (subject to Section 2.17(b)) the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority:  first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement; second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Non-Defaulting Lenders under this Agreement, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such amounts then due and payable to them; third, if so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by any Issuing Bank, to be held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any applicable Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Operating Partnership may request to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, provided that no Default or Event of Default then exists; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Operating Partnership, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Advances under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to any Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, after the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may apply any such amount in accordance with Section 2.11(g).
(b)If the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par such portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lender Parties and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Pro Rata Share of the Lenders to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and such Pro Rata Share of each Lender will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing), provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided further that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
SECTION 2.22.Reallocation of Lender Pro Rata Shares; No Novation.  On the Effective Date, the Advances made under the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement shall be deemed to have been made under this Agreement, without the execution by the Borrowers or the Lender Parties of any other documentation, and all such Advances currently outstanding shall be deemed to have been simultaneously reallocated among the Lenders as follows:

67

Digital Realty – Second Amended and Restated Yen Credit Agreement


(a) On the Effective Date, each Lender that will have a greater Pro Rata Share of the Facility upon the Effective Date than its Pro Rata Share (under and as defined in the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement) immediately prior to the Effective Date (each, a “Purchasing Lender”), without executing an Assignment and Acceptance, shall be deemed to have purchased assignments pro rata from each Lender that will have a smaller Pro Rata Share of the Facility upon the Effective Date than its Pro Rata Share (under and as defined in the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement) of the Facility (under and as defined in the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement) immediately prior to the Effective Date (each, a “Selling Lender”) in all such Selling Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as a Lender (collectively, the “Assigned Rights and Obligations”) so that, after giving effect to such assignments, each Lender shall have its respective Commitment as set forth in Schedule I hereto and a corresponding Pro Rata Share of all Advances then outstanding under the Facility.  Each such purchase hereunder shall be at par for a purchase price equal to the principal amount of the loans and without recourse, representation or warranty, except that each Selling Lender shall be deemed to represent and warrant to each Purchasing Lender that the Assigned Rights and Obligations of such Selling Lender are not subject to any Liens created by that Selling Lender.  For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the aggregate amount of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Advances outstanding at any time exceed its Commitment as set forth in Schedule I hereto.

(c) The Administrative Agent shall calculate the net amount to be paid or received by each Lender in connection with the assignments effected hereunder on the Effective Date.  Each Lender required to make a payment pursuant to this Section shall make the net amount of its required payment available to the Administrative Agent, in same day funds, at the office of the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York time) on the Effective Date.  The Administrative Agent shall distribute on the Effective Date the proceeds of such amounts to the Lenders entitled to receive payments pursuant to this Section, pro rata in proportion to the amount each such Lender is entitled to receive at the primary address set forth in Schedule I hereto or at such other address as such Lender may request in writing to the Administrative Agent.

(d) Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as a discharge, extinguishment or novation of the Obligations of the Loan Parties outstanding under the Existing Revolving Credit Agreement or any instruments securing the same, which Obligations shall remain outstanding under this Agreement after the date hereof as “Revolving Credit Advances” except as expressly modified hereby or by instruments executed concurrently with this Agreement.

SECTION 2.23.Sustainability Adjustments.
(a)Following the date on which the Operating Partnership provides a Pricing Certificate to the Administrative Agent as provided herein in respect of its then most recently ended Annual Period, (i) the Applicable Margin for purposes of calculating interest on the Advances shall be increased or decreased (or neither increased nor decreased), as applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Margin Adjustment as set forth in such Pricing Certificate and (ii) the Applicable Margin for the Unused Fee shall be increased or decreased (or neither increased nor decreased), as applicable, pursuant to the Sustainability Unused Fee Adjustment as set forth in such Pricing Certificate.  For purposes of the foregoing, (A) each of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Unused Fee Adjustment shall be determined as of the fifth (5th) Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of a Pricing Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.03(c) based upon the Certified Capacity set forth in such Pricing Certificate and the calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment and the Sustainability Unused Fee Adjustment calculations, as applicable, therein (such Business Day, the “Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date”) and (B) each change in the Applicable Margin resulting from a Pricing Certificate shall be effective during the period commencing on and including the applicable Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date and ending on the date immediately preceding the next Sustainability Pricing Adjustment Date (or, in the case of non-

68

Digital Realty – Second Amended and Restated Yen Credit Agreement


delivery of a Pricing Certificate or the delivery of an incomplete Pricing Certificate, the last day such Pricing Certificate could have been delivered pursuant to Section 5.03(c)).
(b)For the avoidance of doubt, only one Pricing Certificate may be delivered in respect of any Annual Period, and the Applicable Margin for the Advances and the Letter of Credit Fee will not be reduced or increased pursuant to this Section 2.23 by more than 3.0 basis points (such limit, the “Maximum Margin Adjustment”), and the Applicable Margin for the Unused Fee will never be reduced or increased by more than 2.0 basis points, in each case pursuant to the Sustainability Margin Adjustment or the Sustainability Unused Fee Adjustment, as applicable, in respect of any Annual Period (such limit, the “Maximum Unused Fee Adjustment”).  For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment to the Applicable Margin for the Advances and the Letter of Credit Fee, and/or the Applicable Margin for the Unused Fee by reason of meeting the Certified Capacity in any year shall not be cumulative year-over-year. Each applicable adjustment shall only apply until the date on which the next adjustment is due to take place.
(c)If no such Pricing Certificate is delivered by the Operating Partnership (or any Pricing Certificate shall be incomplete) within the period set forth in Section 5.03(c), the Sustainability Margin Adjustment will be positive 3.0 basis points and the Sustainability Unused Fee Adjustment will be positive 2.0 basis points commencing on the last day such Pricing Certificate could have been delivered pursuant to the terms of Section 5.03(c) and continuing until the Operating Partnership delivers a complete Pricing Certificate to the Administrative Agent.
(d)If (i)(A) any of the Operating Partnership or the Required Lenders become aware of any material inaccuracy in the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, the Sustainability Unused Fee Adjustment or the Certified Capacity as reported on the applicable Pricing Certificate as certified by the KPI Metric Auditor (a “Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy”) and not later than ten (10) Business Days after obtaining knowledge thereof, the Required Lenders or the Operating Partnership, as applicable, deliver a written notice to the Administrative Agent describing such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy in reasonable detail including, to the extent applicable, calculations supporting such material inaccuracy (who shall furnish a copy to each of the Lenders and the Operating Partnership) or (B) the Operating Partnership and the Required Lenders agree that there was a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy at the time of delivery of the relevant Pricing Certificate, (ii) the KPI Metric Auditor confirms in writing that there was in fact a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy and (iii) a proper calculation of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, the Sustainability Unused Fee Adjustment or the Certified Capacity would have resulted in an increase in the Applicable Margin for the Advances and the Letter of Credit Fee, and the Applicable Margin for the Unused Fee for such period, then the Operating Partnership shall be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders, promptly on demand by the Administrative Agent (or, after the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Operating Partnership under any Bankruptcy Law, automatically and without further action by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), but in no event more than ten (10) Business Days after the Operating Partnership has received written notice of, or has agreed in writing that there was, a Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy, an amount equal to:  the excess of (x) the amount of interest and fees that would have been payable for such period at the rate giving effect to the proper Sustainability Unused Fee Adjustment or Sustainability Margin Adjustment, as applicable over (y) the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period (the “True-Up Amount”).  If the Operating Partnership becomes aware of any Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy and, in connection therewith, if a proper calculation of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, the Sustainability Unused Fee Adjustment or the Certified Capacity would have resulted in a decrease in the Applicable Margin for the Advances and the Letter of Credit Fee, and the Applicable Margin for the Unused Fee for such period, then, upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of notice from the Operating Partnership of such Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy (which notice shall include corrections to the calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, the Sustainability Unused Fee Adjustment or the Certified Capacity, as applicable), commencing on the Business Day following receipt by the Administrative Agent of such notice, the

69

Digital Realty – Second Amended and Restated Yen Credit Agreement


Applicable Margin for the Advances and the Letter of Credit Fee, and the Applicable Margin for purpose of calculating interest on the Unused Fee shall be adjusted to reflect the corrected calculations of the Sustainability Margin Adjustment, the Sustainability Unused Fee Adjustment or the Certified Capacity, as applicable.
(e)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Pricing Certificate Inaccuracy, in and of itself, shall constitute a Default or Event of Default under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, unless such amounts shall be due upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Operating Partnership under any Bankruptcy Law, (i) any additional amounts required to be paid pursuant to clause (d) above shall not be due and payable until a written demand is made for such payment by the Administrative Agent in accordance with subsection (d) above, (ii) any nonpayment of such additional amounts prior to such demand for payment by the Administrative Agent shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default (whether retroactively or otherwise), and (iii) none of such additional amounts shall be deemed overdue prior to such a demand or shall accrue interest at the rate specified in Section 2.07(b) prior to such a demand.  In the event the Operating Partnership fails to comply with the terms of this Section 2.23, the Lenders’ sole recourse with respect to such non-compliance shall be limited to the True-Up Amount.
(f)None of the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any Lender Party shall have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by the Operating Partnership of any Sustainability Unused Fee Adjustment or any Sustainability Margin Adjustment (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any KPI Metric Report or Pricing Certificate (and the Administrative Agent may rely conclusively on any such certificate, without further inquiry).

(e)any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;
(f)any failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party to disclose such information);
(g)the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Guaranty Supplement (as hereinafter defined) or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or
(h)any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety.

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

(e)Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party.

(iv)The restrictions set forth in Section 7.09(g)(i) shall only apply if, to the extent and for so long as (A) the applicable German GmbH Guarantor has complied with its obligations pursuant to Sections 7.09(g)(ii) and (iii), (B) the applicable German GmbH Guarantor is not a party to a profit and loss sharing agreement (Gewinnabführungsvertrag) and/or a domination agreement (Beherrschungsvertrag) (within the meaning of Section 291 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz)) where such German GmbH Guarantor is the dominated entity (beherrschtes Unternehmen) and/or the entity being obliged to share its profits with the other party of such profit and loss sharing

SECTION 8.03.Waiver of Conflicts of Interest; Etc.  In the event that the Administrative Agent is also a Lender, with respect to its Commitments, the Advances made by it and the Notes issued to it, such Lender shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender Party and may exercise the same as though it were not also the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender Party” or “Lender Parties” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include such Lender in its individual capacity.  Each of the Lenders acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may have interests in, or may be providing or may in the future provide financial or other services to other parties with interests which a Lender may regard as conflicting with its interests and may possess information (whether or not material to the Lenders) other than as a result of the Administrative Agent acting as administrative agent hereunder, that the Administrative Agent may not be entitled to share with any Lender.  The Administrative Agent will not disclose confidential information obtained from any Lender (without its consent) to any of the Administrative Agent’s other customers nor will it use on the Lender’s behalf any confidential information obtained from any other customer.  Without prejudice to the foregoing, each of the Lenders agrees that the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may (x) deal (whether for its own or its customers’ account) in, or advise on, securities of any Person, and (y) accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party, any Subsidiary of any Loan Party and any Person that may do business with or own securities of any Loan Party or any such Subsidiary, in each case, as if the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent, and without any duty to account therefor to the Lender Parties.  Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably waives, in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, any conflict of interest which may arise by virtue of the Administrative Agent and/or an Arranger acting in various capacities under the Loan Documents or for other customers of the Administrative Agent as described in this Section 8.03.
SECTION 8.04.Lender Party Credit Decision.  Each Lender Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any other Lender Party and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or any other Lender Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.
SECTION 8.05.Indemnification by Lender Parties.  (a)  Each Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Loan Parties) from and against such Lender Party’s ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”); provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,

108

Digital Realty – Second Amended and Restated Yen Credit Agreement


penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Party agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrowers under Section 9.04, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrowers.  In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 8.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender Party or any other Person.  To the extent that the Administrative Agent shall perform any of its duties or obligations hereunder through an Affiliate or sub-agent, then all references to the “Administrative Agent” in this Section 8.05 shall be deemed to include any such Affiliate or sub-agent, as applicable.

(b)Each Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify each Issuing Bank (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrowers) from and against such Lender Party’s ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Party agrees to reimburse such Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrowers under Section 9.04, to the extent that such Issuing Bank is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrowers.
(c)For purposes of this Section 8.05, the Lender Parties’ respective ratable shares of any amount shall be determined, at any time, according to their respective Revolving Credit Commitments at such time (without exclusion of any Defaulting Lender).  The failure of any Lender Party to reimburse the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lender Parties to the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender Party of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender Party shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender Party to reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such other Lender Party’s ratable share of such amount.  The terms “Administrative Agent” and “Issuing Bank” shall be deemed to include the employees, directors, officers and affiliates of the Administrative Agent and Issuing Bank for purposes of this Section 8.05.  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender Party hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender Party contained in this Section 8.05 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.  
SECTION 8.06.Successor Administrative Agents.  The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lender Parties and the Borrowers and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that any removal of the Administrative Agent will not be effective until it (or its Affiliate) has been replaced as an Issuing Bank and released from all obligations in respect thereof.  Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which appointment shall, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be subject to the consent of the Operating Partnership, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such

109

Digital Realty – Second Amended and Restated Yen Credit Agreement


appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lender Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 and which appointment shall be subject to the consent of the Operating Partnership, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents.  If within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal under this Section 8.06 no successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (i) the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as an Agent shall have become effective, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Administrative Agent under this Agreement.

SECTION 8.07.Certain ERISA Matters.  (a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:
(i)such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of or performance of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement,
(ii)the prohibited transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable so as to exempt from the applicable prohibitions of ERISA Section 406 and Code Section 4975 specified in such exemptions such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Obligations of such Lender in respect of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, or
(iii)(A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Obligations of such Lender in respect of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Obligations

110

Digital Realty – Second Amended and Restated Yen Credit Agreement


of such Lender in respect of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Obligations of such Lender in respect of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement.
(b)In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender, such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of or performance of the Advances, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related to hereto or thereto).
SECTION 8.08.Payments in Error.
(a)If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender Party or any other Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender Party (any such Lender Party or other recipient and each of their respective successors and assigns, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not such error or mistake is known to such Payment Recipient) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 8.08 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Payment Recipient shall (or shall cause any other Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.  A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.
(b)Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), if any Payment Recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns) receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) that (x) is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment,

111

Digital Realty – Second Amended and Restated Yen Credit Agreement


prepayment or repayment, (y) was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:
(i)it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
(ii)such Payment Recipient shall (and shall cause any other Payment Recipient that receives funds on its behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.08(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.08(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 8.08(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(c)Each Lender Party and Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender Party or Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender Party or Secured Party under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).
(d)(i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Commitments) with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Tranche”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Tranche, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrowers) deemed to have executed and delivered an Assignment and Acceptance (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to any Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Advances to the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance

112

Digital Realty – Second Amended and Restated Yen Credit Agreement


of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Advances subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment.  For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  

(ii)Subject to Section 9.07 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrowers or otherwise)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Advances acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Advance (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any Payment Recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf).  In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Advances acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Advances are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

(e)The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender Party or Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender Party or Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Advances that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrowers or any other Loan Party, provided that this Section 8.08 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrowers relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided further that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrowers for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(f)To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(g)Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.08 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by,

113

Digital Realty – Second Amended and Restated Yen Credit Agreement


or the replacement of, a Lender Party, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.
(h)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Documents, no Loan Party nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have any obligations or liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of this Section 8.08 in respect of any Erroneous Payment (other than having consented to the assignment referenced in Section 8.08(d) above); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the terms of Section 7.06 (but for the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that, if a Loan Party has paid principal, interest or any other amounts owed to a Secured Party, Section 7.06 shall not require any such Loan Party to pay additional amounts that are by way of Section 7.06, effectively duplicative of such previously paid amounts).
SECTION 8.09.Sustainability.  It is understood and agreed that neither the Sustainability Structuring Agent nor the Administrative Agent make any assurances as to (a) whether this Agreement meets any Operating Partnership, Parent Guarantor, Borrower or Lender criteria or expectations with regard to environmental impact and sustainability performance, or (b) whether the characteristics of the relevant sustainability performance targets and/or key performance indicators included in this Agreement, including any environmental and sustainability criteria or any computation methodology with respect thereto, meet any industry standards for sustainability-linked credit facilities.  It is further understood and agreed that neither the Sustainability Structuring Agent nor the Administrative Agent shall have any responsibility for (or liability in respect of) reviewing, auditing or otherwise evaluating any calculation by the Operating Partnership, the Parent Guarantor or any Borrower of (i) the relevant sustainability performance targets and/or key performance indicators or (ii) any adjustment to the Applicable Margin (or any of the data or computations that are part of or related to any such calculation) set forth in any notice regarding the satisfaction of the conditions necessary for any Sustainability Margin Adjustment or Sustainability Unused Fee Adjustment for any Fiscal Year (and the Administrative Agent and the Sustainability Structuring Agent may rely conclusively on any such notice, without further inquiry, when implementing any such pricing adjustment).
ARTICLE IX

(b)In the event that any Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) shall refuse to consent to a waiver or amendment to, or a departure from, the provisions of this Agreement which requires the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders and that has, where applicable, been consented to by the Required Lenders, then the Operating Partnership shall have the right, upon written demand to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent given at any time after the date on which such consent was first solicited in writing from the Lenders by the Administrative Agent (a “Consent Request Date”), to cause such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes, if any, held by it) to an Eligible Assignee designated by the Borrowers and approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) or to another Lender (a “Replacement Lender”).  The Replacement Lender shall purchase such interests of the Non-Consenting Lender at par and shall assume the rights and obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender under this Agreement upon execution by the Replacement Lender of an Assignment and Acceptance delivered pursuant to Section 9.07, however the Non-Consenting Lender shall be entitled to indemnification as otherwise provided in this Agreement with respect to any events occurring prior to such assignment.  Any Lender that becomes a Non-Consenting Lender agrees that, upon receipt of notice from the Borrowers given in accordance with this Section 9.01(b) it shall promptly execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with a Replacement Lender as contemplated by this Section 9.01(b).  The execution and delivery of any such Assignment and Acceptance shall not be deemed to comprise a waiver of claims against any

115

Digital Realty – Second Amended and Restated Yen Credit Agreement


Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent or a waiver of any claims against the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent by the Non-Consenting Lender.
(c)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward such notice to all Lenders) make an offer (a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all Lenders to make one or more amendments or modifications to allow the maturity of the Advances and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders (as defined below) to be extended and, in connection with such extension, to (i) increase the Applicable Margin and/or fees payable with respect to the Advances and/or the Commitments of the Accepting Lenders and/or the payment of additional fees or other consideration to the Accepting Lenders, and/or (ii) change such additional terms and conditions of this Agreement solely as applicable to the Accepting Lenders (such additional changed terms and conditions (to the extent not otherwise approved by the Required Lenders under Section 9.01(a)) to be effective only during the period following the original maturity date in effect immediately prior to its extension by such Accepting Lenders) (collectively, “Permitted Amendments”).  Such notice shall set forth (A) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendments, and (B) the date on which such Permitted Amendments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 days nor more than 120 days after the date of such notice).  Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Advances and/or Commitments of the Lenders that accept the Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Advances and/or Commitments as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made.  The Loan Parties, each Accepting Lender and the Administrative Agent shall enter into a loan modification agreement (the “Loan Modification Agreement”) and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence (x) the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof and (y) the authorization of the Borrowers to enter into and perform their obligations under the Loan Modification Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement.  Each party hereto agrees that, upon the effectiveness of a Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Advances and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as to which such Lenders’ acceptance has been made.
(d)Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder and the Commitment and the outstanding Advances or other extensions of credit of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as required, have approved any such amendment or waiver (and the definition of “Required Lenders”) will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period), provided that any such amendment or waiver that would increase or extend the term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.
(e)Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers have jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or an inconsistency between a provision of this Agreement and/or a provision of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall be permitted to amend such provision to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency, and, in each case, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document, so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interests of the Lender Parties in

116

any material respect and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers may amend the provisions of Section 9.02 with respect to notices that either the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may deliver to each other but not with respect to notices to be delivered to any other Lender Party.
(f)If the Administrative Agent shall request the consent of the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.01(a) and any Lender shall fail to respond to such consent request (which response must include any information as may have been reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent from such Lender in connection with such consent request) within the earlier of (x) the applicable time period specified for the granting or withholding of such consent pursuant to the Loan Documents, if any, and (y) ten (10) Business Days after delivery of such request, then the Lender that has failed to respond shall be deemed to have consented to such request.
(g)Prior to or after effecting any amendment, waiver, consent, supplement or other modification to the representations or warranties, covenants or events of default in the Global Revolving Credit Documents as to which a corresponding provision exists in the Loan Documents (a “Global Facility Modification”), the Borrowers will provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders a corresponding amendment, waiver, consent, supplement or other modification (the “Corresponding Amendment”) to the Loan Documents to effect such Global Facility Modification on substantially equivalent terms.  Such Corresponding Amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any party other than the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within ten (10) Business Days of the delivery of such Corresponding Amendment to the Lenders, written notices from the Required Lenders, with each such notice stating that such Required Lenders object to such Corresponding Amendment (which such notice shall note with specificity the particular provisions of  the Corresponding Amendment to which such Required Lenders object); provided, however, that any Lender hereunder that is also a lender under the Global Revolving Credit Agreement shall be deemed to have accepted such Corresponding Amendment to the extent that such Lender has provided its approval of the applicable Global Facility Modification in accordance with the terms of the Global Revolving Credit Agreement.  A Lender that is deemed to have approved a Corresponding Amendment in accordance with this covenant will, upon the Administrative Agent’s request, provide a writing evidencing the same.

SECTION 9.03.No Waiver; Remedies.  No failure on the part of any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.  The remedies provided in the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
SECTION 9.04.Costs and Expenses.  (a)  Each Loan Party agrees jointly and severally to pay on demand (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, (A) all due diligence, collateral review, syndication, transportation, computer, duplication, appraisal, audit, insurance, consultant, search, filing and recording fees and expenses, (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent with respect thereto (subject to the terms of the Fee Letter with respect to counsel fees incurred by the Administrative Agent through the Closing Date) with respect to advising the Administrative Agent as to its rights and responsibilities (including, without limitation, with respect to reviewing and advising on any matters required to be completed by the Loan Parties on a post-closing basis), or the perfection, protection or preservation of rights or interests, under the Loan Documents, with respect to negotiations with any Loan Party or with other creditors of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries arising out of any Default or any events or circumstances that may give rise to a Default and with respect to presenting claims in or otherwise participating in or monitoring any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving creditors’ rights generally and any proceeding ancillary thereto and (C) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent with respect to the preparation, execution, delivery and review of any documents and instruments at any time delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(j)) and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of the Loan Documents, whether in any action, suit or litigation, or any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party with respect thereto), provided that the Loan Parties shall not be required to pay the costs and expenses of more than one counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties, absent a conflict of interest (or in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel for all similarly conflicted Lender Parties), and any necessary or desirable local or foreign counsel (limited to tax, litigation and corporate counsel in each applicable jurisdiction or, in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional tax, litigation and corporate counsel in such jurisdiction for all similarly conflicted Lender Parties).

(c)[Reserved]
(d)If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, in its sole discretion.
(e)Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the agreements and obligations of the Borrowers and the other Loan Parties contained in Sections 2.10 and 2.12, Section 7.06 and this Section 9.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents.
(f)Notwithstanding the foregoing in this Section 9.04, for so long as a TMK is prohibited under the TMK Law from guaranteeing or being liable for the obligations of any other Person, a TMK that is a Borrower shall be liable only for obligations under this Section 9.04 with respect to itself and not any other Loan Party.
(g)No Indemnified Party referred to in Section 9.04(b) shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the

extent such damages are found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (x) such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party’s officers, directors, employees or agents, (y) a breach in bad faith of such Indemnified Party’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (z) a claim not involving an act or omission of any Loan Party or any of its respective Subsidiaries and that is brought by an Indemnified Party against another Indemnified Party (other than against an Arranger, the Sustainability Structuring Agent or the Administrative Agent in their capacities as such).
SECTION 9.05.Right of Set-off.  Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Advances or the Notes due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and otherwise apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender Party or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations of such Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured.  The Administrative Agent and each Lender Party agrees promptly to notify the Borrowers or such Loan Party after any such set-off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.  The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party and their respective Affiliates under this Section 9.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that the Administrative Agent, such Lender Party and their respective Affiliates may have.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Defaulting Lender exercises any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.21(a) and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.
SECTION 9.06.Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by each Borrower named on the signature pages hereto, each Guarantor named on the signature pages hereto and the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Initial Lender and each initial Issuing Bank that such Initial Lender or such initial Issuing Bank, as the case may be, has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrowers named on the signature pages hereto, the Guarantors named on the signature pages hereto and the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither any Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of all of the Lender Parties and the Sustainability Structuring Agent.
SECTION 9.07.Assignments and Participations; Replacement Notes  (a)  Each Lender may (and, if demanded by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.10(f) or 9.01(b) will) assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of each of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Letter of Credit Facility (and any assignment of a Commitment or an Advance must be made to an Eligible Assignee), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or a Fund Affiliate of any Lender or an

121

Digital Realty – Second Amended and Restated Yen Credit Agreement


assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Commitments being assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such assignment (determined as of the Transfer Date) shall in no event be less than the Commitment Minimum or an integral multiple in excess thereof of ¥100,000,000 (or, in each case, such lesser amount as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of effectiveness of such assignment, the Operating Partnership), (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (iv) no such assignments shall be permitted until the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Lender Parties that syndication of the Commitments hereunder has been completed, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, (v) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.10(f) or 9.01(b) shall be an assignment of all rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement and (vi) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and, except if such assignment is being made by a Lender to an Affiliate or Fund Affiliate of such Lender, the Processing Fee; provided, however, that for each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.10(f) or 9.01(b), the Borrowers shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent the Processing Fee; provided further that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive the Processing Fee in the case of any assignment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such assignment will be made by any Lender to any Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this sentence.  In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment will be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances and participants in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder becomes effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.07(a), then the assignee of such interest will be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(b)Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording in the Register, from and after the later of such Transfer Date or recording, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, hereunder and (ii) the Lender or Issuing Bank assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under Sections 2.10, 2.12, 7.06, 8.05 and 9.04 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall cease to be a party hereto).
(c)By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Lender Party assignor thereunder and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties thereto and hereto as follows:  (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning

122

Lender Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Lender Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Sustainability Structuring Agent, such assigning Lender Party or any other Lender Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be.
(d)The Administrative Agent on behalf of the Borrowers shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lender Parties and, with respect to Lender Parties, the Commitment of, and principal amount of (and stated interest on) the Advances owing to, each Lender Party from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender Party hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e)Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender Party and an assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrowers.  In the case of any assignment by a Lender, within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the applicable Borrower, at its own expense, shall, if requested by the applicable Lender, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes a new Note payable to such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding Advances purchased by it and any unfunded Commitment assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if any assigning Lender has retained any portion of the outstanding Advances or any unfunded Commitment, a new Note payable to such assigning Lender in an amount equal to the portion of such Advances and such unfunded Commitments retained by it hereunder.  Such new Note or Notes, if any, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto.
(f)Each Issuing Bank may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the undrawn portion of its Letter of Credit Commitment at any time; provided, however, that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that immediately prior to such

123

Digital Realty – Second Amended and Restated Yen Credit Agreement

SECTION 9.08.Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto or thereto, as applicable, in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement or any other Loan Document by facsimile or by email (with the executed counterpart of the signature pages attached to the email in .pdf format or similar format) shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as applicable.  Copies of originals, including copies delivered by facsimile, .pdf, or other electronic means, shall have the same import and effect as original counterparts and shall be valid, enforceable and binding for the purposes of this Agreement and each other Loan Document.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to accept an electronic signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it.  Without limitation of the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such electronic signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lender Parties shall be entitled to rely on any such electronic signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any other party hereto (or to any other Loan Document) without further verification and regardless of the appearance or form of such electronic signature and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party, any electronic signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart.  Each Loan Party hereby waives (i) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement and/or such other Loan Document and (ii) any claim against the Administrative Agent, each Lender Party for any liabilities arising solely from such Person’s reliance on or use of electronic signatures, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Loan Parties to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any electronic signature.
SECTION 9.09.Severability.  In case one or more provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.

SECTION 9.10.Usury Not Intended.  It is the intent of the Borrowers and each Lender Party in the execution and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury laws, including conflicts of law concepts, governing the Advances of each Lender Party including such applicable laws of the State of New York and the United States of America from time to time in effect.  In furtherance thereof, the Lender Parties and the Borrowers stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate and that for purposes hereof “interest” shall include the aggregate of all charges which constitute interest under such laws that are contracted for, taken, charged, received, reserved or paid under this Agreement; and in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, under any circumstances the aggregate amounts contracted for, taken, charged, received, reserved or paid on the Advances, include amounts which, by applicable law, are deemed interest which would exceed the Maximum Rate, then such excess shall be deemed to be a mistake and, each Lender Party receiving the same shall credit the same on the principal of the Obligations of the applicable Borrowers under the Loan Documents (or if such Obligations shall have been paid in full, refund said excess to such Borrowers).  In the event that the Obligations of the Borrowers under the Loan Documents are accelerated by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest may never include more than the Maximum Rate and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the principal of the Obligations of the applicable Borrowers under the Loan Documents (or, if such Obligations shall have been paid in full, refunded to such Borrowers).  In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingencies exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Borrowers and the Lender Parties shall to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the Facility all amounts considered to be interest under applicable law at any time contracted for, taken, charged, received, reserved or paid in connection with the Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents.  The provisions of this Section shall control over all other provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which may be in apparent conflict herewith.
SECTION 9.11.WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  EACH BORROWER, EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER PARTY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE ADVANCES, THE LETTERS OF CREDIT OR THE ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.
SECTION 9.12.Confidentiality.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender Party shall disclose any Confidential Information to any Person without the prior written consent of the Operating Partnership, other than (a) to such Administrative Agent’s or such Lender Party’s Affiliates, head office, branches and representative offices, and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, a “Recipient”) and between each other as such Recipient shall consider appropriate, and to actual or prospective Eligible Assignees and participants (including such Eligible Assignee or participant’s Affiliates and professional advisors), and then only on a confidential basis, (b) as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process, provided that, to the extent legally permissible and practicable, the Administrative Agent or Lender Party, as applicable, shall provide prior written notice of such disclosure to the Operating Partnership in order to permit the Operating Partnership to seek confidential treatment of such information, (c) as requested or required by any state, Federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating, or self-regulatory body having or claiming oversight over, such Lender, provided that, to the extent legally permissible and practicable, the Administrative Agent or Lender Party, as applicable, shall

127

Digital Realty – Second Amended and Restated Yen Credit Agreement


provide prior written notice of such disclosure to the Operating Partnership in order to permit the Operating Partnership to seek confidential treatment of such information, (d) to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender, (e) to any service provider of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, provided that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made pursuant to this clause (e) will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and shall have agreed in writing to keep such Confidential Information confidential, (f) to any Person that holds a security interest in all or any portion of any Lender’s rights under this Agreement, provided that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made pursuant to this clause (f) will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and shall (except with respect to any Applicable Governmental Authority) have agreed in writing to keep such Confidential Information confidential, (g) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (h) to the extent required for the purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense or a defense against a claim that the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party, as applicable, has breached its confidentiality obligations, (i) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.12, to any actual or prospective party to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to any Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (j) to the other Lender Parties and (k) with the prior written consent of the Borrowers; and in each case the Borrowers hereby consent to the disclosure by the Administrative Agent and any Lender Party of Confidential Information that is made in strict accordance with clauses (a) to (k), and the disclosure of other information relating to the Borrowers and the transactions hereunder that does not constitute Confidential Information.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or any other document, the parties hereby agree that (x) each party (and each employee, representative, or other agent of such party) may each disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the United States tax treatment and United States tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to each party relating to such United States tax treatment and United States tax structure and (y) the Administrative Agent may disclose the identity of any Defaulting Lender to the other Lenders and the Borrowers if requested by any Lender or any Borrower.  In acting as the Administrative Agent, SMBC shall be regarded as acting through its agency division which shall be treated as a separate division from any of its other divisions or departments and, notwithstanding any of the Administrative Agent’s disclosure obligations hereunder, any information received by any other division or department of SMBC may be treated as confidential and shall not be regarded as having been given to SMBC’s agency division.  Each Recipient may disclose any Confidential Information pursuant to and subject to clauses (b) and (c) above.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein prohibits any individual from communicating or disclosing Confidential Information regarding suspected violations of laws, rules, or regulations to any Applicable Governmental Authority without any notification to any person.

L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) and other Anti-Corruption Laws and anti-terrorism laws and regulations, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act and such other Anti-Corruption Laws and anti-terrorism laws and regulations and (b) pursuant to the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required, to the extent that any Borrower qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, to obtain a Beneficial Ownership Certification in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement.  The Parent Guarantor and the Borrowers shall, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to, provide, to the

(b)Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party in any New York State or Federal court.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
(c)Without prejudice to any other mode of service allowed under any applicable law, each Loan Party not formed or incorporated in the United States:  (i) appoints the Initial Process Agent (as defined below) as its agent for service of process in relation to any proceedings before the courts described in Section 9.14(a) in connection with the Loan Documents and (ii) agrees that failure by any Process Agent (as defined below) to notify any Loan Party of the process will not invalidate the proceedings concerned.  If any Person appointed as a Process Agent is unable for any reason to act as agent for service of process, the Borrowers shall immediately (and in any event within ten (10) days of such event taking place) appoint another process agent on terms acceptable to the Administrative Agent (such replacement process agent and the Initial Process Agent, each a “Process Agent”).  Failing this, the Administrative Agent may appoint another process agent for this purpose.  “Initial Process Agent” means:

SECTION 9.15.Governing Law.  This Agreement, including Section 9.14, and the other Loan Documents, including but not limited to the validity, interpretation, construction, breach, enforcement or termination hereof and thereof, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.
SECTION 9.16.Judgment Currency.  (a)  If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency at SMBC’s principal office in New York at 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

129

Digital Realty – Second Amended and Restated Yen Credit Agreement


(b)The obligation of each Loan Party in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the “Relevant Currency”) to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (including by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender, as the case may be), of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking procedures purchase the Relevant Currency with such other currency.  If the amount of the Relevant Currency so purchased is less than such sum due to such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the Relevant Currency, each Loan Party agrees, as a separate obligation and notwithstanding any such judgment, to indemnify such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) against such loss, and if the amount of the Relevant Currency so purchased exceeds such sum due to any Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) in the Relevant Currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) agrees to promptly remit to the applicable Loan Party such excess.
SECTION 9.17.Substitution of Currency; Changes in Market Practices.  If a change in any foreign currency occurs pursuant to any applicable law, rule or regulation of any governmental, monetary or multi-national authority, this Agreement will be amended to the extent determined by the Administrative Agent (acting reasonably and in consultation with the Borrowers) to be necessary to reflect the change in currency (and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to such change in currency) and to put the Lender Parties and the Borrowers in the same position, so far as possible, that they would have been in if no change in such foreign currency had occurred.
SECTION 9.18.No Fiduciary Duties.  Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Administrative Agent, any Lender Party or any Affiliate thereof, on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other.  The Loan Parties agree that the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions.  Each Loan Party agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto.  Each of the Loan Parties acknowledges that the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties and their respective Affiliates may have interests in, or may be providing or may in the future provide financial or other services to other parties with interests which a Loan Party may regard as conflicting with its interests and may possess information (whether or not material to the Loan Parties) other than as a result of (x) the Administrative Agent acting as administrative agent hereunder or (y) the Lender Parties acting as lenders hereunder, that the Administrative Agent or any such Lender Party may not be entitled to share with any Loan Party.  Without prejudice to the foregoing, each of the Loan Parties agrees that the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties and their respective Affiliates may (a) deal (whether for its own or its customers’ account) in, or advise on, securities of any Person, and (b) accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with other Persons in each case, as if the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent and as if the Lender Parties were not Lender Parties, and without any duty to account therefor to the Loan Parties.  Each of the Loan Parties hereby irrevocably waives, in favor of the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties and the Arrangers, any conflict of interest which may arise by virtue of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and/or the Lender Parties acting in various capacities under the Loan Documents or for other customers of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Lender Party as described in this Section 9.18.
SECTION 9.19.Removal of Borrowers.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 9.01(a), so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing and subject to Section 5.01(j), the Operating Partnership shall have the right to remove any Subsidiary of the Operating

130

Digital Realty – Second Amended and Restated Yen Credit Agreement


Partnership as a Borrower under the Facility that has no Advances to it outstanding at the time of such removal by providing written notice of such removal to the Administrative Agent.  Any such notice given in accordance with this Section 9.19 shall be effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly give the Lenders notice of such removal.  After the receipt of such written notice by the Administrative Agent, such Subsidiary shall cease to be a Borrower hereunder.  Once removed pursuant to this Section 9.19, such Subsidiary shall have no right to borrow under the Facility unless the Operating Partnership provides notice as required pursuant to Section 5.01(p) of the request again to add such Subsidiary as an Additional Borrower hereunder and such Subsidiary complies with the conditions set forth in Section 5.01(p) to become an Additional Borrower hereunder.

(i)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
SECTION 9.21.Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Guaranteed Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a “Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States): In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.  In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution

131

Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.  Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.  
(b)As used in this Section 9.21, the following terms have the following meanings:

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, [insert name of applicable Borrower] (the “Borrower”), HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY ​ ​ (the “Lender”) or its registered assigns, in accordance with the Credit Agreement (as defined below), the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances and the Letter of Credit Advances (each as defined below) owing to the Lender by the Borrower pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of September 24, 2024 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; terms defined therein, unless otherwise defined herein, being used herein as therein defined) among the Borrower, Digital Realty Trust, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership, the Lender, the other lender parties party thereto from time to time, the Guarantors party thereto from time to time and other Borrowers party thereto from time to time and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, as Administrative Agent for the Lender and such other lender parties, on the Termination Date.

The Borrower promises to pay to the Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Advance and Letter of Credit Advance owing to the Lender by such Borrower from the date of such Revolving Credit Advance or Letter of Credit Advance, as the case may be, until such principal amount is paid in full, at such interest rates, and payable at such times, as are specified in the Credit Agreement.

Both principal and interest are payable in the currency of the applicable Advance to the Applicable Administrative Agent’s Account. Each Revolving Credit Advance and Letter of Credit Advance owing to the Lender by the Borrower and the maturity thereof, and all payments made on account of principal thereof, shall be recorded by the Lender and, prior to any transfer hereof, endorsed on the grid attached hereto, which is part of this promissory note (this “Promissory Note”); provided, however, that the failure of the Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the Obligations of the Borrower under this Promissory Note.

This Promissory Note is one of the Notes referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits of, the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement, among other things, (a) provides for the making of advances (variously, the “Revolving Credit Advances” or the Letter of Credit Advances”) by the Lender to or for the benefit of the Borrower from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the Principal Amount and the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from each such Revolving Credit Advance and Letter of Credit Advance being evidenced by this Promissory Note, and (b) contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain stated events and also for prepayments on account of principal hereof prior to the Termination Date upon the terms and conditions therein specified.

This Promissory Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

(c)The undersigned irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty Supplement, the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is or is to be a party in any New York State or federal court.

(i)Subject to Section 2.07(f), if a Market Disruption Event occurs in relation to any Eurocurrency Rate Advances, (A) the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the interest rate cannot be determined for such Eurocurrency Rate Advances, (B) after the last day of the then existing Interest Period, the interest rate on each Lender’s share of such Eurocurrency Rate Advance shall be the Central Bank Rate plus the Applicable Margin; provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that such Central Bank Rate cannot be determined, any outstanding affected Advances shall, at the Borrower’s election either (I) solely for the purpose of calculating the interest rate applicable to such Advances, be deemed to be denominated in Dollars (with the Administrative Agent, to the extent necessary, converting Euros on a notional basis into the Equivalent amount of Dollars) and shall accrue interest at the Federal Funds Rate or (II) be prepaid in full immediately; provided, however, that if no election is made by the Borrower by the date that is three Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of such notice, the Borrower shall be deemed to have elected clause (I) above, and (C) the obligation of the


Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist with respect to such Eurocurrency Rate Advances.
(ii)Subject to Section 2.07(f), if a Market Disruption Event occurs and the Administrative Agent or the Borrower so requires, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall enter into negotiations (for a period of not more than thirty (30) days) with a view to agreeing a substitute basis for determining the rate of interest.  Any alternative basis agreed pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence shall, with the prior consent of all of the Lenders in the applicable Tranche and the Borrower, be binding on all parties.
(e)Additional Reserve Requirements. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender (i) as long as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or including Eurocurrency Rate funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurocurrency Rate Advance equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Advance by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent fraud or manifest error), and (ii) as long as such Lender shall be required to comply with any reserve ratio requirement or analogous requirement of any other central banking or financial regulatory authority imposed in respect of the funding of the Eurocurrency Rate Advances, such additional costs (expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upwards, if necessary, to the nearest five decimal places) equal to the actual costs allocated to such Advance by such Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive absent fraud or manifest error), which in each case shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is payable on such Advance, provided that the Borrower shall have received at least 15 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such additional interest or costs from such Lender.  If a Lender fails to give notice 15 days prior to the relevant interest payment date, such additional interest or costs shall be due and payable 15 days after receipt of such notice.  Amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.07(e) shall be without duplication of any other component of interest payable by the Borrower hereunder.
(f)Benchmark Replacement Setting.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document (and any Guaranteed Hedge Agreement shall be deemed not to be a “Loan Document” for purposes of this Section 2.07(f)):

(i)Replacing Benchmarks.  Upon the occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event with respect to any Benchmark, the Benchmark Replacement will replace such Benchmark for all purposes hereunder and under any Loan Document in respect of any such Benchmark setting at or after 5:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to the Lenders and the Borrower without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Loan Document so long as the Administrative Agent has not received, by such time, written notice of objection to such Benchmark Replacement from Lenders comprising the Tranche Required Lenders of each affected Tranche.  At any time that the administrator of any then-current Benchmark has permanently or indefinitely ceased to provide such Benchmark or such Benchmark has been announced by the regulatory supervisor for the administrator or the administrator of such Benchmark pursuant to public statement or publication of information to be no longer representative and will not be restored, the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Advances referencing such Benchmark in the affected currency shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected amounts or Interest Periods (as applicable)) and any outstanding loans in such currency shall immediately or, in the case of a term rate at the end of the applicable Interest Period, be prepaid in full.  


(ii)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  In connection with the implementation and administration of any Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent will have the right (in consultation with the Borrower) to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement.
(iii)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of (A) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement and (B) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  For the avoidance of doubt, any notice required to be delivered by the Administrative Agent as set forth in this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting” may be provided, at the option of the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion), in one or more notices and may be delivered together with, or as part of any amendment which implements any Benchmark Replacement or Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent or, if applicable, the Borrower or any Lender (or group of Lenders) pursuant to this Section, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its or their sole discretion and without consent from any other party hereto, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section titled “Benchmark Replacement Setting”.
(iv)Unavailability of Tenor of Benchmark.  At any time (including in connection with the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement), (A) if any then-current Benchmark is a term rate, then the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrower) may remove any tenor of such Benchmark that is unavailable or non-representative for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings and (B) the Administrative Agent may reinstate any such previously removed tenor for Benchmark (including Benchmark Replacement) settings.
(v)Disclaimer.  The Administrative Agent does not warrant or accept responsibility for, and shall not have any liability with respect to (A) the continuation of, administration of, submission of, calculation of or any other matter related to any Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referenced in the definition thereof or any alternative, successor or replacement rate thereto (including any Benchmark Replacement), including whether the composition or characteristics of any such alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) will be similar to, or produce the same value or economic equivalence of, or have the same volume or liquidity as such Benchmark or any other Benchmark prior to its discontinuance or unavailability, or (B) the effect, implementation or composition of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes.  The Administrative Agent and its affiliates or other related entities may engage in transactions that affect the calculation of any Benchmark, any alternative, successor or replacement rate (including any Benchmark Replacement) or any relevant adjustments thereto, in each case, in a manner adverse to the Borrower.  The Administrative Agent may select information sources or services in its reasonable discretion to ascertain any Benchmark, any component definition thereof or rates referenced in the definition thereof, in each case pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall have no liability to the Borrower, any Lender or any other person or entity for damages of any kind, including direct or indirect, special, punitive, incidental or consequential damages, costs, losses or expenses (whether in tort, contract or otherwise and whether at law or in equity), for any error or calculation of any such rate (or component thereof) provided by any such information source or service.

Benchmark Replacement” means, for any Available Tenor,

the sum of (i) the alternate benchmark rate and (ii) an adjustment (which may be a positive or negative value or zero), in each case, that has been selected by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower as the replacement for such Available Tenor of such Benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then-prevailing market convention, including any applicable recommendations made by the Relevant Governmental Body, for syndicated credit facilities at such time denominated in the applicable currency in the U.S. syndicated loan market; provided, however, that, if the Benchmark Replacement as determined pursuant to clause (a) or (b) above would be less than the applicable Floor, the Benchmark Replacement will be deemed to be the applicable Floor for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Benchmark Transition Event” means, with respect to any then-current Benchmark, the occurrence of one or more of the following events: a public statement or publication of information by or on behalf of the administrator of any then-current Benchmark, the regulatory supervisor for the administrator of such Benchmark, the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, the central bank for the currency applicable to such Benchmark, an insolvency official with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark, a resolution authority with jurisdiction over the administrator for such Benchmark or a court or an entity with similar insolvency or resolution authority over the administrator for such Benchmark, announcing or stating that (a) such administrator has ceased or will cease on a specified date to provide all Available Tenors of such Benchmark, permanently or indefinitely, provided that, at the time of such statement or publication, there is no successor


administrator that will continue to provide any Available Tenor of such Benchmark or (b) all Available Tenors of such Benchmark are or will no longer be representative and that representativeness will not be restored.

Relevant Governmental Body” means (1) the central bank for the currency in which such amounts are denominated hereunder or any central bank or other supervisor which is responsible for supervising either (A) such Benchmark Replacement or (B) the administrator of such Benchmark Replacement or (2) any working group or committee officially endorsed or convened by (A) the central bank for the currency in which such amounts are denominated, (B) any central bank or other supervisor that is responsible for supervising either (i) such Benchmark Replacement or (ii) the administrator of such Benchmark Replacement, (C) a group of those central banks or other supervisors or (D) the Financial Stability Board or any part thereof.

SECTION 2.10.Increased Costs, Etc.  (a)(a)  If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation, administration or application of any law or regulation or (ii) compliance with any law or regulation made after the date of this Agreement there shall be (x) a reduction in the rate of return from a Tranche or on a Lender’s (or its Affiliate’s) overall capital, (y) any additional or increased cost or (z) a reduction of any amount due and payable under any Loan Document, which is incurred or suffered by any Lender or any of its Affiliates to the extent that it is attributable to that Lender agreeing to make or of making, funding or maintaining Advances or funding or performing its obligations under any Loan Document (excluding, for purposes of this Section 2.10, any such increased costs resulting from (A) Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.12 shall govern), (B) Excluded Taxes, (C) any Taxes required to be withheld as a result of a direction or notice under section 260-5 of the Australian Tax Act or section 255 of the Australian Tax Act, (D) any Tax imposed pursuant to FATCA or (E) the willful breach by the relevant Lender or any of its Affiliates of any law or regulation or the terms of any Loan Document), then the Borrower shall from time to time, within 10 Business Days after demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender for such increased cost; provided, however, that a Lender claiming additional amounts under this Section 2.10(a) agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Lending Office or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates if the making of such a designation or assignment would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.  A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost shall be submitted to the Borrower by such Lender and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent fraud or manifest error; provided, however, that no Lender shall be required to disclose any information to the extent such disclosure would be prohibited by applicable law.
(a)(b) If any Lender determines that (i) the introduction of or any change in, or in the interpretation or application of, any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and that the amount of such capital or liquidity is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend hereunder and other commitments of such type then, within 10 Business Days after demand by such Lender or such corporation (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender reasonably determines such increase in capital or liquidity to be allocable to the existence of such Lender’s commitment to lend.  A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error; provided, however, that no Lender shall be required to disclose any information to the extent such disclosure would be prohibited by applicable law.  For purposes of this Section 2.10, (i) the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, guidelines, and directives in connection therewith and (ii) 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 gone into effect and been adopted after the date of this Agreement.
(b)(c) Reserved.
(c)(d) If, with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Advances, the Tranche Required Lenders for any Tranche notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurocurrency Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Eurocurrency Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make such Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended and (y) with respect to any Eurocurrency Rate Advances that are then outstanding under any Tranche, such Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall thereafter bear interest at the Central Bank Rate plus the Applicable Margin, in each case until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.
(d)(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or to fund or continue to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances in Euros or if the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful for any Lender to purchase or sell or to take deposits of, Euros in the Relevant Interbank Market, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) each Eurocurrency Rate Advance by such Lender will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Central Bank Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of such Lenders to make or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist; provided, however, that, before making any such demand, such Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Lending Office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or its Lending Office to continue to perform its obligations to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurocurrency Rate Advances and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Conversion of any Eurocurrency Rate Advance of any Lender to a Central Bank Rate Advance or the suspension of any obligation of any Lender to make any Eurocurrency Rate Advance pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.10(e) shall not affect the obligation of any other Lender to continue to make Eurocurrency Rate Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(e)(f) Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender, notifies the Operating Partnership of the event or circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the event or circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).


(f)(g) If (i) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (ii) any Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or Section 2.10(b), (iii) any Lender gives notice pursuant to Section 2.10(d) or Section 2.10(e), or (iv) Borrower is required to pay Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any governmental authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12 (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), then the Operating Partnership shall have the right, upon written demand to such Affected Lender and the Administrative Agent at any time thereafter to cause such Affected Lender to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes, if any, held by it) to a Replacement Lender, provided that the proposed assignment does not conflict with applicable laws.  The Replacement Lender shall purchase such interests of the Affected Lender at par and shall assume the rights and obligations of the Affected Lender under this Agreement upon execution by the Replacement Lender of an Assignment and Acceptance delivered pursuant to Section 9.07; provided, however, the Affected Lender shall be entitled to indemnification as otherwise provided in this Agreement with respect to any events occurring prior to such assignment.  Any Lender that becomes an Affected Lender agrees that, upon receipt of notice from the Borrower given in accordance with this Section 2.10(g) it shall promptly execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with a Replacement Lender as contemplated by this Section 2.10(g).  The execution and delivery of any such Assignment and Acceptance shall not be deemed to comprise a waiver of claims against any Affected Lender by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or a waiver of any claims against the Borrower or the Administrative Agent by the Affected Lender.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender shall not be required to make any assignment pursuant to this Section 2.10(g) if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Operating Partnership to require such assignment cease to apply.
SECTION 2.11.Payments and Computations(a)(a)  The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder with respect to principal of, interest on, and other amounts relating to, Advances not later than 2:00 P.M. (London time), in each case, on the day when due, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.12), to the Administrative Agent at the applicable Administrative Agent’s Account in same day funds, with payments being received by the Administrative Agent after such time being deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day. Each payment shall be made by the Borrower in the currency of the applicable Advance to which the applicable payment relates, except to the extent required otherwise hereunder, and the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to accept a payment that is not in the correct currency.  The Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of principal, interest, commitment fees or any other Obligation then payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to more than one Lender, to such Lenders for the account of their respective Lending Offices ratably in accordance with the amounts of such respective Obligations then payable to such Lenders in accordance with the applicable Standing Payment Instructions and (ii) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of any Obligation then payable hereunder to one Lender, to such Lender for the account of its Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(d), from and after the applicable Transfer Date, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender assignee thereunder in accordance with such Lender assignee’s Standing Payment Instructions, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.  In respect of any assignment pursuant to Section 9.07, the effective date of which, in each case, is not on the last day of an Interest Period (A) any interest or fees in respect of the relevant assigned interest in the Facility that are expressed to accrue by reference to the lapse of time shall continue to accrue in favor of the assignor Lender up to but excluding the Transfer Date (the “Accrued Amounts”) and shall become due and payable to the assignor Lender without further interest accruing on them on the last day of the current Interest Period (or, if the Interest Period is longer than six calendar months, on the next of the


dates which falls at six monthly intervals after the first day of that Interest Period) and (B) the rights assigned or transferred by the assignor Lender will not include the right to the Accrued Amounts so that, for the avoidance of doubt:  (1) when the Accrued Amounts become payable, those Accrued Amounts will be payable for the account of the assignor Lender and (2) the amount payable to the assignee Lender on that date will be the amount which would, but for the application of this Section ‎2.11(a), have been payable to it on that date, but after deduction of the Accrued Amounts.

(a)Reserved.
(b)Reserved.
(c)All computations of interest based on the Eurocurrency Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such fees or interest are payable.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(d)Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or commitment fee, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurocurrency Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.
(e)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lender hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each such Lender on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender.  If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender until the date such Lender repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the cost of funds incurred by the Administrative Agent.
(f)To the extent that the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the amounts owing by the Borrower under or in respect of this Agreement or any Note in currencies other than the currency or currencies required to enable the Administrative Agent to distribute funds to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.11, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to convert or exchange such funds into Dollars or into Euros or from Dollars to Euros or from Euros to Dollars, as the case may be, to the extent necessary to enable the Administrative Agent to distribute such funds in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.11, provided that the Borrower and each of the Lenders hereby agree that the Administrative Agent shall not be liable or responsible for any loss, cost or expense suffered by the Borrower or such Lender as a result of any conversion or exchange of currencies effected pursuant to this Section 2.11(f) or as a result of the failure of the Administrative Agent to effect any such conversion or exchange; provided further that the Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and hold the Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless, for any and all losses, costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any conversion or exchange of currencies (or the failure to convert or exchange any currencies) in accordance with this Section 2.11(f) save to the extent that it is found in a final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such loss, cost or expense resulted from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or


such Lender or (ii) a material breach by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in bad faith of such party’s obligations hereunder.
(g)Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth below in this Section 2.11(g).  Payments to the Lenders shall be in accordance with the applicable Standing Payment Instructions.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Advances denominated in Euros will, at any time during the continuance of such Event of Default that the Administrative Agent determines it necessary or desirable to calculate the pro rata share of the Lenders on a Facility-wide basis, be converted on a notional basis into the Equivalent amount of Dollars solely for the purposes of making any allocations required under this Section 2.11(g) and Section 2.13(b).  The order of priority shall be as follows:
(i)first, to the payment of all of the fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Administrative Agent on such date;
(ii)second, to the payment of all of the indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Lenders under Section 9.04 and any similar section of any of the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Lenders on such date;
(iii)third, to the payment of all of the amounts that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under Sections 2.10 and 2.12 on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts thereof owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on such date;
(iv)fourth, to the payment of all of the fees that are due and payable to the Lenders under Section 2.08(d) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate Commitments of the Lenders under the Facility on such date;
(v)fifth, to the payment of all of the accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations of the Borrower under or in respect of the Loan Documents that is due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under Section 2.07(b) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such interest owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on such date;
(vi)sixth, to the payment of all of the accrued and unpaid interest on the Advances that is due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under Section 2.07(a) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such interest owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on such date;
(vii)seventh, to the payment of the principal amount of all of the outstanding Advances and any reimbursement obligations that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such principal and reimbursement obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders on such date;

This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to make payment to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 2.12 in respect of any penalties, interest and other liabilities attributable to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes to the extent such penalties, interest and other liabilities are attributable to (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, or (ii) a material breach by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in bad faith of such party’s obligations hereunder, in either case as found in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.


(f) (f)As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to any governmental authorityApplicable Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.12, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment or, if such receipts are not obtainable, other evidence of such payments by the Borrower reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(g) (i)(g)(i) Any Lender (which, for purposes of this Section 2.12(g) shall include the Administrative Agent) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, upon becoming a party to this Agreement and at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, upon becoming a party to this Agreement and if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such entity is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements with respect to such Lender. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any form or document referred to in this subsection (g) (other than any form or document referred to in subsection (g)(ii)(A), (B) or (D) of this Section 2.12) requires the disclosure of information that the applicable Lender reasonably considers to be confidential, such Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information.

(ii) (ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing: (A) any Lender that is a U.S. person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), duly completed and signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding; (B) each Lender that is not a U.S. person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) (each, a “Foreign Lender”) shall, to the extent that it is legally entitled to do so, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender, and on the Transfer Date with respect to the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but only so long thereafter as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (1) in the case of a Foreign Lender that is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a statement in a form agreed to between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to the effect that such Lender is eligible for a complete exemption from withholding of United States Taxes under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, and (y) two duly completed and signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or successor and related applicable form; or (2) two duly completed and signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (claiming an exemption from or a reduction in United States withholding tax under an applicable treaty) or its successor form, Form W-8ECI (claiming an exemption from United States withholding tax as effectively connected income) or its successor form, or Form W-8IMY (together with any supporting documentation) or its successor form, and related applicable forms, as the case may be; (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the


Borrower or the Administrative Agent), duly completed and signed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to withholding Tax 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 Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative 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 the purposes of this subsection (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

(iii) (iii)Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances that would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption from or reduction of Taxes. Each Lender further 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 the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(h) (h)Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.12 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, (x) be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or (y) subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense.

(i) (i)If any Lender or the Administrative Agent receives a refund of Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Borrower or for which the Borrower has indemnified any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 2.12, then such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall pay such amount, net of any reasonable expenses incurred by such Lender or the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower as soon as practicable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Borrower shall not be entitled to review the tax records or financial information of any Lender or the Administrative Agent and (ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to pursue (and no Loan Party shall have any right to assert) any refund of Taxes or Other Taxes that may be paid by the Borrower.

(j) (j)The Administrative Agent (including, for this purpose, the Persons included in this Section 2.12(j)) shall not act as withholding agent (within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations) with respect to any Tranche, provided, however, that if in the future, the Administrative Agent or an affiliate of the Administrative Agent that is a U.S. Person for U.S. federal income tax purposes administers another Tranche, the Administrative Agent or such affiliate shall (i) act as withholding agent (within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code and the applicable Treasury Regulations) with respect to such Tranche as required by law and (ii) prepare and file (on behalf of the Borrower) and furnish to the applicable Lenders any required Internal Revenue Service Form 1042-S with respect to such Tranche. The Administrative Agent and the Borrower further agree to


mutually cooperate and furnish or cause to be furnished upon request, as promptly as practicable, such information and assistance reasonably necessary for the filing of all Tax returns and complying with all Tax withholding and information reporting requirements. With respect to each Tranche, the Administrative Agent agrees to provide Borrower information regarding the interest, principal, fees or other amounts payable to each Person pursuant to the Loan Documents by January 31 of each year following the year during which such payment was made.

(k) (k)For purposes of this Section 2.12 (except for purposes of the first sentence of paragraph (i)), references to the Administrative Agent shall include any Affiliate or sub-agent of the Administrative Agent, in each case performing any duties or obligations of the Administrative Agent. For purposes of this Section 2.12, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

SECTION 2.13.Sharing of Payments, Etc.  (a)(a)  Sharing Within Each Tranche.  Subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(g), if, in connection with any particular Tranche, any applicable Lender shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or otherwise, other than as a result of an assignment pursuant to Section 9.07 or a payment made by a Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement) (a) on account of Obligations due and payable to such applicable Lender with respect to such Tranche under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such applicable Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all applicable Lenders with respect to such Tranche under the Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all such applicable Lenders under the Loan Documents at such time obtained by all such applicable Lenders at such time or (b) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such applicable Lender under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing to such applicable Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all such applicable Lenders hereunder at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all such applicable Lenders under the Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of such applicable Lenders at such time, such applicable Lender shall forthwith purchase from such other applicable Lenders such interests or participating interests in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing applicable Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing applicable Lender, such purchase from each other applicable Lender shall be rescinded and such other applicable Lender shall repay to the purchasing applicable Lender the purchase price to the extent of such applicable Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such applicable Lender to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all applicable Lenders) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such applicable Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other applicable Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing applicable Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing applicable Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered.  The Borrower agrees that any applicable Lender so purchasing an interest or participating interest from another applicable Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13(a) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such interest or participating interest, as the case may be, as fully as if such applicable Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such interest or participating interest, as the case may be.

(b) (b) Pro Rata Sharing Following Event of Default.

to Section 9.07 or a payment made by a Loan Party pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement) (a) on account of Obligations due and payable to such Lender under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders under the Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lenders under the Loan Documents at such time obtained by all the Lenders at such time or (b) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender under the Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders under the Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lenders under the Loan Documents at such time obtained by all of the Lenders at such time, such Lender shall forthwith purchase from the other Lenders such interests or participating interests in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender, such purchase from each other Lender shall be rescinded and such other Lender shall repay to the purchasing Lender the purchase price to the extent of such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Lender to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lenders) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing an interest or participating interest from another Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13(b) may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such interest or participating interest, as the case may be, as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such interest or participating interest, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.14.Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Advances shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) solely for the acquisition, development and redevelopment of Assets, for repayment of Debt, for working capital and for other general corporate purposes of the Parent Guarantor, the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries.  Borrower will not directly or knowingly indirectly use the proceeds of the Advances, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person such extensions of credit or proceeds, (i) to fund any prohibited activities or businesses of or with any Person, or in any country or territory, that, at the time of such funding, is, or whose government is, the the target of or subject of Sanctions or in a Sanctioned Jurisdiction, or (ii) in any other manner that would result in a violation of Sanctions by any Person (including any Person participating in the Facility, whether as underwriter, advisor, investor, or otherwise) or any Anti-Corruption Laws.
SECTION 2.15.Evidence of Debt.  (a)(a)  Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.  Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a Note, in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, payable to such Lender in a principal amount equal to the Commitment of such Lender.  All references to Notes in the Loan Documents


shall mean Notes, if any, to the extent issued hereunder.  In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Note shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

(b) (b)The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d) may include a control account and a subsidiary account for each Lender.

(c) (c)Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Advances will be treated as in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code (and any other relevant or successor provisions of the Internal Revenue Code).

SECTION 2.16.Extension of Maturity Date.  The Borrower may request, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, (i) at least 30 days but not more than the day occurring 60 days and one year prior to the applicable Maturity Date with respect to the 2025-27 Facility Commitments, a twelve-month extension of such Maturity Date and (ii) thereafter, with respect to the 2025-27 Facility Commitments an additional twelve-month extension provided at least 30 days but not more than the day occurring 60 days and one year prior to such Maturity Date (as extended pursuant to clause (i) of this sentence) (each, an “Extension Request”).  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such Extension Request and the applicable Maturity Date in effect at such time shall, effective as of the applicable Extension Date (as defined below), be extended for an additional twelve-month period, provided that, on such Extension Date (a) the Administrative Agent shall have received payment in full of the extension fee set forth in Section 2.08(d) and (b) the following statements shall be true and the Administrative Agent shall have received for the accountbenefit of each Lender a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Operating Partnership, dated the applicable Extension Date, stating that:  (i) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01 are true and correct in all material respects (unless qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such Extension Date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and accurate in all material respects or all respects, as applicable, on and as of such earlier date)), and (ii) no Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such extension.  “Extension Date” means, in the case of each extension option, the first date after the delivery by the Borrower of the related Extension Request that the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above are satisfied.  In the event that an extension is effected pursuant to this Section 2.16, the aggregate principal amount of all Advances with respect to the 2025-27 Facility shall be repaid in full ratably to the 2025-27 Facility Lenders on the applicable Maturity Date as so extended.  As of the Extension Date, any and all references in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the “Maturity Date” shall refer to the Maturity Date as so extended.

SECTION 2.19.Reserved.
SECTION 2.20.Reserved.  
SECTION 2.21.Defaulting Lenders.  (a)(a)  If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, then any amount paid by the Borrower or otherwise received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account until the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority:  first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement; second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Non-Defaulting Lenders under this Agreement, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts then due and payable to them; third, as the Operating Partnership may request to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, provided that no Default or Event of Default then exists; fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Operating Partnership, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Advances under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, after the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may apply any such amount in accordance with Section 2.11.

(b)(b)If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par such portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders in the same Tranche and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Applicable Pro Rata Share of the Lenders in the applicable Tranche to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitments whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and such Applicable Pro Rata Share of each Lender will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing), provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided further that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(e)any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;
(f)any failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Guarantied Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to the Administrative Agent or such other Guarantied Party (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent and each other Guarantied Party to disclose such information);
(g)the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Guaranty Supplement (as hereinafter defined) or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or


(h)any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Administrative Agent or any other Guarantied Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety.

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Guarantied Party upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

(d)(e) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Guarantied Party to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by the Administrative Agent or such other Guarantied Party.

(g)Germany:  (i)(i)  The obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor incorporated or established and existing as a German limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung – GmbH) (each, a “German GmbH Guarantor”), shall be subject to the following limitations.  To the extent that the Guaranteed Obligations include liabilities of such German GmbH Guarantor’s direct or indirect shareholder(s) (each, an “Up-stream Guaranty”) or its affiliated companies (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) (other than Subsidiaries of that German GmbH Guarantor) (each, a “Cross-stream Guaranty”) (save for any guarantee of funds to the extent they (x) are on-lent and/or (y) replace or refinance funds which were on-lent in each case to that German GmbH Guarantor or its Subsidiaries and such amount on-lent is not returned), the guaranty created under this Article VII shall not be enforced against such German GmbH Guarantor at the time of the respective Payment Demand (as defined below) if and only to the extent that the German GmbH Guarantor demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent that the enforcement would have the effect of:  (1) causing such German GmbH Guarantor’s Net Assets (as defined below) to be reduced below zero, or (2) if its Net Assets are already below zero, causing such amount to be further reduced, and thereby, in each case, affecting its assets required for the maintenance of its stated share capital (gezeichnetes Kapital) pursuant to Sections 30 and 31 of the German Limited Liability Company Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung, “GmbHG”), as applicable at the time of enforcement.  No reduction of the amount enforceable under this Article VII will prejudice the rights of the Administrative Agent to again enforce the


guaranty created under this Article VII at a later time under this Agreement (subject always to the operation of the limitations set forth above at the time of such further enforcement).  “Net Assets” means the applicable German GmbH Guarantor’s assets (section 266 sub-section (2) of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) (“HGB”)) minus the aggregate of its liabilities (section 266 sub-section (3) B, C HGB (but disregarding, for the avoidance of doubt, any provisions in respect of the guaranty created under this Article VII), accruals and deferred tax (section 266 subsection (3) D, E HGB), its stated share capital (gezeichnetes Kapital) (section 266 subsection (3)A(I) HGB) and any amounts not available for distribution according to Section 268 subsection (8) HGB.  The Net Assets shall be determined in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in Germany consistently applied by the applicable German GmbH Guarantor in preparing its unconsolidated balance sheet (Jahresabschluss according to section 42 GmbHG and sections 242, 264 HGB) in the previous financial years, but for the purposes of the calculation of the Net Assets the following balance sheet items shall be adjusted as follows:  (x) the amount of any increase of the stated share capital (Erhöhungen des gezeichneten Kapitals) after the date of this Agreement shall be deducted from the stated share capital unless permitted under the Loan Documents or approved by the Administrative Agent); (y) loans received by, and other contractual liabilities of, the applicable German GmbH Guarantor which are subordinated within the meaning of section 39 subsection 1 no. 5 or section 39 subsection 2 of the German Insolvency Code (Insolvenzordnung) (contractually or by law) shall be disregarded; and (z) loans and other contractual liabilities incurred by the applicable German GmbH Guarantor in violation of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be disregarded.
(i)(ii) The limitations set forth in Section 7.09(g)(i) only apply if within 15 Business Days after receipt from the Administrative Agent of a notice stating that the Administrative Agent intends to demand payment under this Article VII against the applicable German GmbH Guarantor (each, a “Payment Demand”), the managing director(s) of such German GmbH Guarantor has (have) confirmed in writing to the Administrative Agent (A) why and to what extent the guarantee is an Up-stream Guaranty or a Cross-stream Guaranty and (B) which amount of such Up-stream Guaranty or Cross-stream Guaranty, as applicable, may not be enforced given that the applicable German GmbH Guarantor’s Net Assets are below zero or such enforcement would cause such German GmbH Guarantor’s Net Assets to be reduced below zero, as a result of which such enforcement would lead to a violation of the capital maintenance rules as set out in sections 30 and 31 GmbHG, and such confirmation is supported by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, including without limitation an up-to-date balance sheet of such German GmbH Guarantor, together with a detailed calculation of the amount of such German GmbH Guarantor’s Net Assets taking into account the adjustments and obligations set forth in Section 7.09(g)(i) (the “Management Determination”).  Each German GmbH Guarantor shall comply with its obligations under this Article VII within the period set forth above, and the Administrative Agent may enforce the guaranty created under this Article VII in an amount which would, in accordance with the Management Determination, not cause such German GmbH Guarantor’s Net Assets to be reduced (or to fall further) below zero.  Following receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Management Determination, the applicable German GmbH Guarantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent upon request within 30 Business Days an up-to-date balance sheet of such German GmbH Guarantor, prepared by an auditor of international reputation appointed by such German GmbH Guarantor, together with a detailed calculation (satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) of the amount of the Net Assets of such German GmbH Guarantor taking into account the adjustments and obligations set forth in Section 7.09(g)(i) (the “Auditor’s Determination”).  Such balance sheet and Auditor’s Determination shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted


accounting principles in Germany consistently applied by the applicable German GmbH Guarantor in preparing its unconsolidated balance sheet (Jahresabschluss according to section 42 GmbHG and sections 242, 264 HGB) in the previous financial years.  Each Auditor’s Determination shall be prepared as of the date of the enforcement of this Article VII.  Each German GmbH Guarantor shall comply with its obligations under this Article VII within the period set forth above and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to enforce the guaranty created under this Article VII in an amount which would, in accordance with the Auditor’s Determination, not cause the Net Assets of the German GmbH Guarantor to be reduced (or to fall further) below zero.
(ii)(iii) Each German GmbH Guarantor shall, within 60 Business Days after receipt of a Payment Demand, realize, unless not legally permitted to do so, any and all of its assets (other than assets that are necessary for the business (betriebsnotwendig) of such German GmbH Guarantor) that are shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is substantially (i.e., at least 20%) lower than the market value of the assets if, as a result of the enforcement of the guaranty created under this Article VII against such German GmbH Guarantor, its Net Assets would be reduced below zero.  After the expiry of such 60 Business Day period, such German GmbH Guarantor shall, within five Business Days, notify the Administrative Agent of the amount of the proceeds obtained from the realization and submit a statement setting forth a new calculation of the amount of the Net Assets of such German GmbH Guarantor taking into account such proceeds.  Such calculation shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s reasonable request, be confirmed by the auditors referred to in Section 7.09(g)(ii) within a period of 20 Business Days following the applicable request.  If the Administrative Agent disagrees with any Auditor’s Determination or the new calculation referred to in this Section 7.09(g)(iii), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to pursue in court a claim under this Article VII in excess of the amounts paid or payable pursuant to the provisions above, for the avoidance of doubt, it being understood that the relevant German GmbH Guarantor shall not be obligated to pay any such excessive amounts on demand.
(iii)(iv) The restrictions set forth in Section 7.09(g)(i) shall only apply if, to the extent and for so long as (A) the applicable German GmbH Guarantor has complied with its obligations pursuant to Sections 7.09(g)(ii) and (iii), (B) the applicable German GmbH Guarantor is not a party to a profit and loss sharing agreement (Gewinnabführungsvertrag) and/or a domination agreement (Beherrschungsvertrag) (within the meaning of Section 291 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz)) where such German GmbH Guarantor is the dominated entity (beherrschtes Unternehmen) and/or the entity being obliged to share its profits with the other party of such profit and loss sharing agreement other than to the extent that the existence of such a profit and loss sharing agreement and/or domination agreement does not result in the inapplicability of the relevant restrictions set forth in sections 30 and 31 GmbHG, and (C) the applicable German GmbH Guarantor does, at the time when a payment is made under this Article VII, not hold a fully recoverable indemnity or claim for refund (vollwertiger Gegenleistungs- oder Rückgewähranspruch) (within the meaning of section 30 (1) sentence 2 GmbHG) against the relevant shareholder covering at least the relevant amount payable under this Article VII.
(iv)(v) Sections 7.09(g)(i) through (iv) shall apply mutatis mutandis to a Guarantor organized and existing as a limited liability partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft – KG) with a German limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung – GmbH) as its sole general partner, provided that in such case and for the purpose of this


Article VII, any reference to such Guarantor’s net assets (Reinvermögen) shall be deemed to be a reference to the net assets (Reinvermögen) of such Guarantor and its general partner (Komplementär) on a pro forma consolidated basis.

(n)Spain:  The liability of each Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Spain under this Article VII and under any indemnities contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not include any obligations which would give rise to a breach of the provisions of Spanish law relating to restrictions on the provision of financial assistance (or refinancing of any debt incurred) in connection with the acquisition of shares in the relevant Spanish Loan Party and/or its controlling corporation (or, in the case of a Spanish Loan Party which is a “sociedad de responsabilidad limitada”, of a company in the same group as such Spanish obligor) as provided in article 150 of Spanish Capital Companies Act (Ley de Sociedades de Capital) and article 143.2 of the Spanish Capital Companies Act (Ley de Sociedades de Capital), as applicable.  The obligations of each Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Spain under this Article VII shall be capable of enforcement in accordance with applicable law against all present and future assets of such Guarantor save to the extent that applicable Spanish law specifies otherwise.  For the purposes of this Article VII, a reference to the “group” of a Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Spain shall mean such Guarantor and any other companies constituting a unity of decision.  It shall be presumed that there is unity of decision when any of the scenarios set out in section 1 and/or section 2 of article 42 of the Spanish Commercial Code (Código de Comercio) are met.

(i)(ii) The limitation in clause (i) above shall only apply to the extent it is a requirement under applicable law at the time the Swiss Guarantor is required to perform under the Loan Documents.  Such limitation shall not free the Swiss Guarantor from its obligations in excess of the freely disposable equity, but merely postpone the performance date thereof until such times when the Swiss Guarantor has again freely disposable equity if and to the extent such freely disposable equity is available.

(iii)(iv) If the enforcement of the obligations of a Swiss Guarantor under the Loan Documents would be limited due to the effects referred to in this Section 7.09(n), the Swiss Guarantor affected shall further, to the extent permitted by applicable law and Swiss accounting standards and write up or sell any of its assets that are shown in its balance sheet with a book value that is significantly lower than the market value of the assets, in case of sale; however, only if such assets are not necessary for the Swiss Guarantor’s business (nicht betriebsnotwendig).
(p)The Czech Republic:  No Guarantor incorporated under the laws of The Czech Republic or any Guarantor which is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of a company incorporated under the laws of The Czech Republic shall have any liability pursuant to this Article VII to the extent that the same would result in the violation of financial assistance provisions set out in Section 161e and 161f of the Czech Commercial Code.
(q)The Republic of Poland:  (i)(i)  A Guaranty by a Guarantor incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Poland or by any Guarantor which is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of a company incorporated under the laws of the Republic of Poland (each, a “Polish Guarantor”) will be limited in an amount equivalent to (A) the value of all assets (aktywa) of the Polish Guarantor as such value is recorded in (1) its latest annual unconsolidated financial statements or, if they are more up-to date (2) its latest interim unconsolidated financial statements, less (B) the value of all liabilities (zobowiązania) of the Polish Guarantor (whether due or pending maturity), as existing on the date that such Polish Guarantor becomes a Guarantor under this Facility and as such value is recorded in the financial statements referred to in item (1) above and used for the purpose of determination of the value of assets (aktywa) of the Polish Guarantor.  The term “liabilities” shall at all times exclude the Polish Guarantor’s liabilities under this Article VII, but shall include any other obligations (secured and unsecured) of the Polish Guarantor, including any other off-balance sheet obligations of the Polish Guarantor.
(i)(ii) The limitation stipulated in Section 7.09(q)(i) above shall not apply if:
(A)Polish law is amended in such a manner that (1) a debtor whose liabilities exceed the value of its assets is no longer deemed insolvent (niewypłacalny) as provided for in Article 11 Sec. 2 of the Polish Bankruptcy and Restructuring Law (as in force on the date of this Agreement and/or as amended or substituted for time to time) or that (2) the insolvency (niewypłacalność) of a debtor within the meaning of Article 11 Sec. 2 of the Polish Bankruptcy and Restructuring Law (as in force on the date of this Agreement and/or as amended or substituted from time to time) no longer gives grounds for an immediate declaration of its bankruptcy (ogłoszenie upadłości) or no longer obliges the representatives of the Polish Guarantor to immediately file for the declaration of its bankruptcy; or
(B)the aggregate value of the liabilities of the Polish Guarantor (other than those under this Article VII) exceeds the aggregate value of the assets of such Polish Guarantor, thus resulting in the Polish Guarantor’s insolvency

amount of the intercompany loan owing by the Danish Guarantor.  The limitations set forth in this Section 7.09(t) shall apply to such Danish Guarantor’s aggregate obligations and liabilities under any security, guarantee, indemnity, collateral, subordination of rights and claims, subordination or turnover of rights of recourse, application of proceeds and any other means of direct or indirect financial assistance pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
(u)The Kingdom of Norway:  No Guarantor incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Norway or any Guarantor which is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of a company incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Norway shall have any liability pursuant to this Article VII to the extent that the same would constitute unlawful financial assistance within the meaning of Section § 8-7 or Section § 8-10 of the Norwegian Limited Companies Act (as from time to time in force or replaced) or lead to a financial exposure resulting in such Guarantor’s breach of the general obligations of Chapter 3 of the Norwegian Limited Companies Act (as from time to time in force or replaced).

SECTION 7.10.Keepwell.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support as may be needed from time to time by each other Loan Party to honor all of its Guaranteed Obligations in respect of Swap Obligations (provided, however, that each Qualified ECP Guarantor shall only be liable under this Section 7.10 for the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering its obligations under this Section 7.10, or otherwise in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations, as it relates to such other Loan Party, voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).  The obligations of each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this Section shall remain in full force and effect until a discharge of the Guaranteed Obligations.  Each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends that this Section 7.10 constitute, and this Section 7.10 shall be deemed to constitute, a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of each other Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act.
ARTICLE VIII
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
SECTION 8.01.Authorization and Action.  Each Lender (in its capacities as a Lender and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential Hedge Banks) hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.  As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Notes, the Advances and the Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that exposes it to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law or regulations.  The Administrative Agent agrees to give to each Lender prompt notice of each notice given to it by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this


Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, no Person identified as a syndication agent, joint lead arranger or joint bookrunner, in such Person’s capacity as such, shall have any obligations or duties to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any other Guarantied Party under any of such Loan Documents.  

SECTION 8.02.Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except that nothing in this sentence shall absolve the Administrative Agent for any liability found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:  (a) may treat each Lender and its applicable interest in each Advance set forth in the Register as conclusive until the Administrative Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by a Lender, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee, as provided in Section 9.07; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Loan Party), independent certified public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with the Loan Documents; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance, observance or satisfaction of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Loan Document on the part of any Loan Party or the existence at any time of any Default under the Loan Documents or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Loan Party; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto (including, for the avoidance of doubt, in connection with the Administrative Agent’s reliance on any electronic signature delivered pursuant to Section 9.08); (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by facsimile, email or other electronic communication) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties; (g) shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law or regulations, including for the avoidance of doubt, any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Bankruptcy Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Bankruptcy Law; (h) may act in relation to the Loan Documents through its Affiliates, officers, agents and employees; and (i) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties in favor of any Lender or Loan Party, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing.  Without limiting the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall constitute the Administrative Agent or any Arranger as a trustee or fiduciary of any Person, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Arranger shall be bound to account to the Lenders for any sum or the profit element of any sum received by it for its own account.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the acts or omissions of its delegates or agents or for supervising them; provided, however, that nothing in this sentence shall absolve the Administrative Agent for any liability found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The Borrower shall not commence any proceeding against any of the Administrative Agent’s directors, officers or employees with respect to the Administrative Agent’s acts or omissions relating to the Facility or the Loan Documents. No act by the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers hereafter taken, including any consent to, and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party of any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute a representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or the Arrangers to any Lender as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent or the Arranger has disclosed material information in their possession.


SECTION 8.03.Waiver of Conflicts of Interest; Etc.  In the event that the Administrative Agent is also a Lender, with respect to its Commitments, the Advances made by it and the Notes issued to it, such Lender shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not also the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include such Lender in its individual capacity.  Each of the Lenders acknowledges that the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may have interests in, or may be providing or may in the future provide financial or other services to other parties with interests which a Lender may regard as conflicting with its interests and may possess information (whether or not material to the Lenders) other than as a result of the Administrative Agent acting as administrative agent hereunder, that the Administrative Agent may not be entitled to share with any Lender.  The Administrative Agent will not disclose confidential information obtained from any Lender (without its consent) to any of the Administrative Agent’s other customers nor will it use on the Lender’s behalf any confidential information obtained from any other customer.  Without prejudice to the foregoing, each of the Lenders agrees that the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates may (x) deal (whether for its own or its customers’ account) in, or advise on, securities of any Person, and (y) accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party, any Subsidiary of any Loan Party and any Person that may do business with or own securities of any Loan Party or any such Subsidiary, in each case, as if the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent, and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.  Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably waives, in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Arrangers, any conflict of interest which may arise by virtue of the Administrative Agent and/or the Arrangers acting in various capacities under the Loan Documents or for other customers of the Administrative Agent as described in this Section 8.03.
SECTION 8.04.Lender Credit Decision.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement.
SECTION 8.05.Indemnification by Lenders.  (a)(a)  Each Lender severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Loan Parties) from and against such Lender’s ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 9.04, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower.  In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 8.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender or any other Person.  To the extent that the Administrative Agent shall perform any of its duties or obligations hereunder through an Affiliate or sub-agent, then all references to the “Administrative Agent” in this Section 8.05 shall be deemed to include any such Affiliate or sub-agent, as applicable.


(b) (b)Reserved.

(c) (c)For purposes of this Section 8.05, the Lenders’ respective ratable shares of any amount shall be determined, at any time, according to their respective Commitments with respect to the applicable Tranche at such time (without exclusion of any Defaulting Lender). The failure of any Lender to reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Administrative Agent for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to reimburse the Administrative Agent for such other Lender’s ratable share of such amount. The term “Administrative Agent” shall be deemed to include the employees, directors, officers and affiliates of the Administrative Agent for purposes of this Section 8.05. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender contained in this Section 8.05 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. Advances outstanding under a Tranche will be converted by the Administrative Agent on a notional basis into the Equivalent amount of Euros of such Tranche for the purposes of making any allocations required under this Section 8.05.

SECTION 8.06.Successor Administrative Agents.  The Administrative Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower and may be removed at any time with or without cause by the Required Lenders.  Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which appointment shall, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, be subject to the consent of the Operating Partnership, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed.  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $500,000,000 and which appointment shall be subject to the consent of the Operating Partnership, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents.  If within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal under this Section 8.06 no successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (i) the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent shall have become effective, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Administrative Agent under this Agreement.
SECTION 8.07.Certain ERISA Matters.  (a)(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender hereto, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt,


to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:

(i)such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of or performance of the Advances, the Commitments or this Agreement,
(ii)the prohibited transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable so as to exempt from the applicable prohibitions of ERISA Section 406 and Code Section 4975 specified in such exemptions such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Obligations of such Lender in respect of the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement,
(iii)(A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Obligations of such Lender in respect of the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Obligations of such Lender in respect of the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Obligations of such Lender in respect of the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement.
(b)In addition, unless sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender, such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers or their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of or performance of the Advances, the Commitments or this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).
SECTION 8.08.Payments in Error.  (a)(a) If the Administrative Agent (x) notifies a Lender or any other Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender (any such Lender or other recipient, and each of their respective successors and assigns, a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under immediately succeeding clause (b)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously or mistakenly transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment


Recipient (whether or not such error or mistake is known to such Payment Recipient) (any such funds, whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and (y) demands in writing the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 8.08 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Payment Recipient shall (or shall cause any other Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf to) promptly, but in no event later than two Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation from time to time in effect.  To the extent necessary for the purposes of calculating the amount due from the Payment Recipient pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent will convert Euros on a notional basis into the Equivalent amount of Dollars and provide the Payment Recipient with written notification of such conversion.  A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (a) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(a)(b) Without limiting immediately preceding clause (a), if any Payment Recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns) receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether transmitted or received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) that (x) is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) such Payment Recipient otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part), then in each such case:
(i)it acknowledges and agrees that (A) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (B) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and
(ii)such Payment Recipient shall (and shall cause any other Payment Recipient that receives funds on its behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.08(b).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.08(b) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 8.08(a) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(b)(c) Each Lender and Guarantied Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or Guarantied Party under


any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender or Guarantied Party under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under immediately preceding clause (a).
(c)(d) (i)(i) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with immediately preceding clause (a), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time, then effective immediately (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (A) such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned its Advances (but not its Commitments) of the relevant Tranche with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Tranche”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Advances (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Tranche, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and such amount calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower) deemed to have executed and delivered an Assignment and Acceptance (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance by reference pursuant to any Platform as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Advances to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (B) the Administrative Agent as the assignee shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (C) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee shall become a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender, (D) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (E) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Advances subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment.  For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Commitments of any Lender and such Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
(i)Subject to Section 9.07 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements (whether from the Borrower or otherwise)), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Advances acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Advance (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any Payment Recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf).  In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Advances acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Advances are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced


by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.
(d)(e) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be contractually subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender or Guarantied Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender or Guarantied Party, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Obligations in respect of Advances that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, provided that this Section 8.08 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided further that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower for the purpose of making such Erroneous Payment.
(e)(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation, any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.
(f)(g) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 8.08 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.
(g)(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Documents, no Loan Party nor any of their respective Affiliates shall have any obligations or liabilities directly or indirectly arising out of this Section 8.08 in respect of any Erroneous Payment (other than having consented to the assignment referenced in Section 8.08(d) above); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the terms of Section 7.06 (but for the avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that, if a Loan Party has paid principal, interest or any other amounts owed to a Guarantied Party, Section 7.06 shall not require any such Loan Party to pay additional amounts that are by way of Section 7.06, effectively duplicative of such previously paid amounts).
ARTICLE IX
MISCELLANEOUS
SECTION 9.01.Amendments, Etc.  (a)(a)  Subject to clause (2) below, no amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document (other than a Guaranteed Hedge Agreement), nor any consent to a departure by any Loan Party therefrom, shall, in any event, be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Required Lenders, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which

provided further that (A) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; and (B) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, amend, waive or consent to any departure from, the provisions of Section 2.07(f) or the defined terms herein pertaining to the establishment, replacement or computation of any interest rate or interest rate margin applicable to any Obligations hereunder (except, in each case, in accordance with Sections 2.07(d), 2.07(f) and 9.01(f)).  In addition, if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have jointly identified an obvious error or any error or omission of a technical nature in any of the Loan Documents, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such this Agreement and/or the applicable Loan Document without any further action or consent of any other party if the same is not


objected to in writing by the Required Lenders (or, if such amendment relates solely to a specific Tranche, the Tranche Required Lenders in respect of such Tranche) to the Administrative Agent within ten (10) Business Days following receipt of notice thereof.

(a)(b) In the event that any Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) shall refuse to consent to a waiver or amendment to, or a departure from, the provisions of this Agreement which requires the consent of all Lenders, all Lenders in respect of a Tranche or all affected Lenders and that has, where applicable, been consented to by the Required Lenders or the Tranche Required Lenders, then the Operating Partnership shall have the right, upon written demand to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent given at any time after the date on which such consent was first solicited in writing from the Lenders by the Administrative Agent (a “Consent Request Date”), to cause such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes, if any, held by it) to an Eligible Assignee designated by the Borrower and approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) or to another Lender (a “Replacement Lender”).  The Replacement Lender shall purchase such interests of the Non-Consenting Lender at par and shall assume the rights and obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender under this Agreement upon execution by the Replacement Lender of an Assignment and Acceptance delivered pursuant to Section 9.07, however the Non-Consenting Lender shall be entitled to indemnification as otherwise provided in this Agreement with respect to any events occurring prior to such assignment.  Any Lender that becomes a Non-Consenting Lender agrees that, upon receipt of notice from the Borrower given in accordance with this Section 9.01(b) it shall promptly execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with a Replacement Lender as contemplated by this Section 9.01(b).  The execution and delivery of any such Assignment and Acceptance shall not be deemed to comprise a waiver of claims against any Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or a waiver of any claims against the Borrower or the Administrative Agent by the Non-Consenting Lender.
(b)(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward such notice to all Lenders) make an offer (a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all Lenders of one or more Tranches to make one or more amendments or modifications to allow the maturity of such Tranches and/or Commitments of the Accepting Lenders (as defined below) to be extended and, in connection with such extension, to (i) increase the Applicable Margin and/or fees payable with respect to the applicable Tranches and/or the Commitments of the Accepting Lenders and/or the payment of additional fees or other consideration to the Accepting Lenders, and/or (ii) change such additional terms and conditions of this Agreement solely as applicable to the Accepting Lenders (such additional changed terms and conditions (to the extent not otherwise approved by the Required Lenders under Section 9.01(a)) to be effective only during the period following the original maturity date in effect immediately prior to its extension by such Accepting Lenders) (collectively, “Permitted Amendments”).  Such notice shall set forth (A) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendments, and (B) the date on which such Permitted Amendments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 days nor more than 120 days after the date of such notice).  Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Tranches and/or Commitments of the Lenders that accept the Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Tranches and/or Commitments as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made.  The Loan Parties, each Accepting Lender and the Administrative Agent shall enter into a loan modification agreement (the “Loan Modification Agreement”) and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence (x) the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof and (y) the authorization of the Borrower to enter into and perform its obligations under the Loan Modification Agreement.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement.  Each party hereto agrees that, upon the effectiveness of a Loan Modification Agreement, this


Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Tranches and Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as to which such Lenders’ acceptance has been made.
(c)(d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder and the Commitment and the outstanding Advances or other extensions of credit of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Required Lenders, the Tranche Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as required, have approved any such amendment or waiver (and the definitions of “Required Lenders” and “Tranche Required Lenders”) will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period), provided that any such amendment or waiver that would increase or extend the term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.
(d)(e) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or an inconsistency between a provision of this Agreement and/or a provision of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency, and, in each case, such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document, so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interests of the Lenders in any material respect and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend the provisions of Section 9.02 with respect to notices that either the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may deliver to each other but not with respect to notices to be delivered to any other Lender.

(a)(b) Each Loan Party agrees to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel for the Indemnified Parties, absent a conflict of interest (or in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel for all similarly conflicted Indemnified Parties), and any necessary or desirable local or foreign counsel (limited to tax, litigation and corporate counsel in each applicable jurisdiction or, in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional tax, litigation and corporate counsel in such jurisdiction for all similarly conflicted Indemnified Parties)) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) (i) the Facility, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on any property of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Action relating in any way to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (x) such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party’s officers, directors, employees or agents, (y) a material breach in bad faith of such Indemnified Party’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (z) a claim not involving an act or omission of any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries and that is brought by an Indemnified Party against another Indemnified Party (other than against a Joint Lead Arranger, a Joint Book Runner, a Syndication Agent, a Documentation Agent or the Administrative Agent in their capacities as such).  In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 9.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party, whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents are consummated.  Each Loan Party also agrees not to assert any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Facility, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.  This Section 9.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes.
(b)(c) If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurocurrency Rate Advance is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.09 or 2.10(d),  acceleration of the maturity of the Advances or the Notes pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason, or if the Borrower fails to make any payment or prepayment of an Advance for which a notice of prepayment has been given or that is otherwise required to be made, whether pursuant to Section 2.04, 2.06 or 6.01 or otherwise, the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion or such failure to pay or prepay, as the case may be, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender to fund or maintain such Advance.  A


certificate as to any amount payable pursuant to this Section 9.04(c) shall be submitted to the Borrower by the applicable Lender and shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent fraud or manifest error.
(c)(d) If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in its sole discretion.
(d)(e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties contained in Sections 2.10 and 2.12, Section 7.06 and this Section 9.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents.
(e)(f) Reserved.
(f)(g) No Indemnified Party referred to in Section 9.04(b) shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent such damages are found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (x) such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party’s officers, directors, employees or agents, (y) a material breach in bad faith of such Indemnified Party’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (z) a claim not involving an act or omission of any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries and that is brought by an Indemnified Party against another Indemnified Party (other than against a Joint Lead Arranger, a Joint Book Runner, a Syndication Agent, a Documentation Agent or the Administrative Agent in their capacities as such).
SECTION 9.05.Right of Set-off.  Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Advances or the Notes due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and otherwise apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured.  The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower or such Loan Party after any such set-off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.  The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section 9.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that the Administrative Agent, such Lender and their respective Affiliates may have.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Defaulting Lender exercises any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.21(a) and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a


statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

SECTION 9.06.Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower, each Guarantor named on the signature pages hereto and the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Initial Lender that such Initial Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Guarantors named on the signature pages hereto and the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders and any other attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall be null and void.
SECTION 9.07.Assignments and Participations; Replacement Notes  (a)(a)  Each Lender may (and, if demanded by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.10(f) or 9.01(b) will) assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of one or more of the Tranches (and any assignment of a Commitment or an Advance must be made to an Eligible Assignee that is capable of lending in Euros), (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or a Fund Affiliate of any Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Commitments being assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such assignment (determined as of the Transfer Date) shall in no event be less than the Commitment Minimum or an integral multiple in excess of the Commitment Multiple, (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (iv) no such assignments shall be permitted until the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Lenders that syndication of the Commitments hereunder has been completed, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (v) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10(f) or 9.01(b) shall be an assignment of all rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement and (vi) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and, except if such assignment is being made by a Lender to an Affiliate or Fund Affiliate of such Lender, the Processing Fee; provided, however, that for each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10(f) or 9.01(b), the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent the Processing Fee; provided further that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive the Processing Fee in the case of any assignment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such assignment will be made by any Lender to any Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this sentence. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment will be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting


Lender hereunder becomes effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.07(a), then the assignee of such interest will be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(a)(b) Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the Transfer Date, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under Sections 2.10, 2.12, 7.06, 8.05 and 9.04 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).
(b)(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Lender assignor thereunder and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties thereto and hereto as follows:  (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(c)(d) The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and, with respect to Lenders, the Commitment under each Tranche of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Advances owing under each Tranche to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.


(d)(e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.  In the case of any assignment by a Lender, within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall, if requested by the applicable Lender, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes a new Note payable to such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding Advances purchased by it under each Tranche and any unfunded Commitment assumed by it under each Tranche pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if any assigning Lender has retained any portion of the outstanding Advances under a Tranche or any unfunded Commitment under a Tranche, a new Note payable to such assigning Lender in an amount equal to the portion of such Advances and such unfunded Commitments retained by it hereunder.  Such new Note or Notes, if any, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto.

(g)(h) Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than any natural person or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person, or Loan Party or any of its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes (if any) held by it) without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,; provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitments) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except that any agreement with respect to such participation may provide that such participant shall have a right to approve such amendment, waiver or consent to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, and (vi) if, at the time of such sale, such Lender was entitled to payments under Section 2.12(a) or (e) in respect of withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Indemnified Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future as a result of a change in law or other amounts otherwise includable in Indemnified Taxes) withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to such participant on such date, provided that such participant complies with the requirements of Section 2.12(g) as if it were a Lender, such participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(f) as if it were an assignee under this Section 9.07, and such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12 (a) or (e) than such Lender would have been entitled to receive.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the


principal amounts (and stated interest) of each participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(h)(i) Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided, however, that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information received by it from such Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.12.
(i)(j) In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment will be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances relating to the applicable Tranche and participations in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder becomes effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.07(j), then the assignee of such interest will be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

SECTION 9.08.Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto or thereto, as applicable, in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement or any other Loan Document by facsimile or by email (with the executed counterpart of the signature pages attached to the email in .pdf format or similar format) shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as applicable.  Copies of originals, including copies delivered by facsimile, .pdf, or other electronic means, shall have the same import and effect as original counterparts and shall be valid, enforceable and binding for the purposes of this Agreement and each other Loan Document.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or electronicthe keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to accept an electronic signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it.  Without limitation of the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such

SECTION 9.09.Severability.  In case one or more provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.
SECTION 9.10.Usury Not Intended.  It is the intent of the Borrower and each Lender in the execution and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury laws, including conflicts of law concepts, governing the Advances of each Lender including such applicable laws of the State of New York and the United States of America from time to time in effect.  In furtherance thereof, the Lenders and the Borrower stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate and that for purposes hereof “interest” shall include the aggregate of all charges which constitute interest under such laws that are contracted for, taken, charged, received, reserved or paid under this Agreement; and in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, under any circumstances the aggregate amounts contracted for, taken, charged, received, reserved or paid on the Advances, include amounts which, by applicable law, are deemed interest which would exceed the Maximum Rate, then such excess shall be deemed to be a mistake and, each Lender receiving the same shall credit the same on the principal of the Obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents (or if such Obligations shall have been paid in full, refund said excess to the Borrower).  In the event that the Obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents are accelerated by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest may never include more than the Maximum Rate and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the principal of the Obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents (or, if such Obligations shall have been paid in full, refunded to the Borrower).  In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingencies exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Borrower and the Lenders shall to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the Facility all amounts considered to be interest under applicable law at any time contracted for, taken, charged, received, reserved or paid in connection with the Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents.  The provisions of this Section shall control over all other provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which may be in apparent conflict herewith.

AGENT OR ANY LENDER IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.

SECTION 9.12.Confidentiality.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall disclose any Confidential Information to any Person without the prior written consent of the Operating Partnership, other than (a) to such Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s Affiliates, head office, branches and representative offices, and their officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, a “Recipient”) and between each other as such Recipient shall consider appropriate, and to actual or prospective Eligible Assignees and participants (including such Eligible Assignee or participant’s Affiliates, Related Funds and professional advisors), and then only on a confidential basis, (b) as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process, provided that, to the extent legally permissible and practicable, the Administrative Agent or Lender, as applicable, shall provide prior written notice of such disclosure to the Operating Partnership in order to permit the Operating Partnership to seek confidential treatment of such information, (c) as requested or required by any state, Federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating, or self-regulatory body having or claiming oversight over, such Lender, provided that, to the extent legally permissible and practicable, the Administrative Agent or Lender, as applicable, shall provide prior written notice of such disclosure to the Operating Partnership in order to permit the Operating Partnership to seek confidential treatment of such information, (d) to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender, (e) to any service provider of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, provided that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made pursuant to this clause (e) will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and shall have agreed in writing to keep such Confidential Information confidential, (f) to any Person that holds a security interest in all or any portion of any Lender’s rights under this Agreement, provided that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made pursuant to this clause (f) will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and shall (except with respect to any Applicable Governmental Authority) have agreed in writing to keep such Confidential Information confidential, (g) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (h) to the extent required for the purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense or a defense against a claim that the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, has breached its confidentiality obligations, (i) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.12, to any actual or prospective party to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (j) is independently discovered or developed by a party hereto without utilizing any information received from the Borrower or violating the terms of this Section, (k) to the extent such Confidential Information becomes publicly available other than by reason of disclosure by a Recipient in violation of any confidentiality obligations owing by such Recipient to the Borrower and its Affiliates (including those set forth in this Section 9.12), (l) to the extent required by a potential or actual insurer or reinsurer in connection with providing insurance, reinsurance or credit risk mitigation coverage under which payments are to be made or may be made by reference to this Agreement, and (m)to other Lenders and (k) with the prior written consent of the Borrower; and in each case the Borrower hereby consents to the disclosure by the Administrative Agent and any Lender of Confidential Information that is made in strict accordance with clauses (a) to (lk), and the disclosure of other information relating to the Borrower and the transactions hereunder that does not constitute Confidential Information.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or any other document, the parties hereby agree that (x) each party (and each employee, representative, or other agent of such party) may each disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the United States tax treatment and United States tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other


tax analyses) that are provided to each party relating to such United States tax treatment and United States tax structure, (y) nothing in any Loan Document shall prevent disclosure of any confidential information or other matter to the extent that preventing that disclosure would otherwise cause any transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents, or any transaction carried out in connection with any transaction contemplated thereby, to become an arrangement described in Part II A 1 of Annex IV of Directive 2011/16/EU and (z) the Administrative Agent may disclose the identity of any Defaulting Lender to the other Lenders and the Borrower if requested by any Lender or the Borrower.  In acting as the Administrative Agent, Citibank shall be regarded as acting through its agency division which shall be treated as a separate division from any of its other divisions or departments and, notwithstanding any of the Administrative Agent’s disclosure obligations hereunder, any information received by any other division or department of Citibank may be treated as confidential and shall not be regarded as having been given to Citibank’s agency division.  Each Recipient may disclose any Confidential Information pursuant to and subject to clauses (b) and (c) above.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein prohibits any individual from communicating or disclosing Confidential Information regarding suspected violations of laws, rules, or regulations to any Applicable Governmental Authority without any notification to any person.

SECTION 9.16.Judgment Currency.  (a)(a)  If for the purposes of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so, that the rate of exchange used shall be that at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Administrative Agent could purchase the first currency with such other currency at Citibank N.A.’s principal office in London at 11:00 A.M. (London time) on the Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.
(a)(b) The obligation of each Loan Party in respect of any sum due from it in any currency (the “Relevant Currency”) to any Lender or the Administrative Agent hereunder shall, notwithstanding any judgment in any other currency, be discharged only to the extent that on the Business Day following receipt by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (including by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender, as the case may be), of any sum adjudged to be so due in such other currency, such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) may in accordance with normal banking

(a)(b) Each provision of this Agreement shall be subject to such reasonable changes of construction as the Administrative Agent (in consultation with the Borrower) may from time to time specify to be appropriate to reflect the adoption of the Euro by any member state of the European Union and any relevant market conventions or practices relating to the Euro.
SECTION 9.18.No Fiduciary Duties.  Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate thereof, on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other.  The Loan Parties agree that the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions.  Each Loan Party agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto.  Each of the Loan Parties acknowledges that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may have interests in, or may be providing or may in the future provide financial or other services to other parties with interests which a Loan Party may regard as conflicting with its interests and may possess information (whether or not material to the Loan Parties) other than as a result of (x) the Administrative Agent acting as administrative agent hereunder or (y) the Lenders acting as lenders hereunder, that the Administrative Agent or any such Lender may not be entitled to share with any Loan Party.  Without prejudice to the foregoing, each of the Loan Parties agrees that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may (a) deal (whether for its own or its customers’ account) in, or advise on, securities of any Person, and (b) accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with other Persons in each case, as if the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent and as if the Lenders were not Lenders, and without any duty to account therefor to the Loan Parties.  Each of the Loan Parties hereby irrevocably waives, in favor of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers, any conflict of interest which may arise by virtue of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and/or the Lenders acting in various capacities under the Loan Documents or for other customers of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Lender as described in this Section 9.18.

ARTICLE II
AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE ADVANCES
SECTION 2.01.The Advances.

(a)(a) The Facility.  Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make its Advance in respect of the Facility available to the Borrower in a single Borrowing on the Closing Date (all Advances made by the Lenders on the Closing Date, the “Term Loan”); provided, however, that the aggregate amounts advanced to the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.01(a) shall not exceed the aggregate Commitments.  All Advances under this Section 2.01(a) shall be made by the Lenders ratably in proportion to their respective Commitments and shall be denominated in Dollars. Advances may be Base Rate Advances, Daily SOFR Advances or Term SOFR Advances, as further provided herein.

(b)Reserved.  
(c)No Reborrowing.  Any amount borrowed and repaid hereunder may not be reborrowed.
SECTION 2.02.Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Advances.  (a)(a)  Each Borrowing, each Conversion of Advances from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Term SOFR Advances shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by (A) telephone or (B) a Notice of Borrowing; provided that any telephonic notice must be confirmed immediately by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Notice of Borrowing. Such Notice of Borrowing must be received by the Administrative Agent by the applicable Notice of Borrowing Deadline.  The Borrowing of the Term Loan as a Term SOFR Advance, each Conversion to or continuation of Term SOFR Advances shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereto. The Borrowing of the Term Loan as a Base Rate Advance or Daily SOFR Advance or Conversion to Base Rate Advances or Daily SOFR Advances shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof.

Each Notice of Borrowing shall specify therein (i) the requested date of such Borrowing (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) whether the Borrower is requesting a Borrowing, a Conversion of Advances from one Type to the other, or a continuation of Term SOFR Advances, (iii) the requested principal amount of Advances to be borrowed, Converted or continued, (iv) the Type of Advances the Borrower is requesting to be


borrowed or to which the Borrower is requesting that existing Advances be Converted, and (v) if applicable, the requested duration of the initial Interest Period for each such Advance.   If the Borrower fails to specify a Type of Advance in a Notice of Borrowing or if the Borrower fails to give timely notice requesting a Conversion or continuation, then the applicable Advances shall be made as, or converted to, Daily SOFR Advances.  Any automatic conversion to Daily SOFR Advances shall be effective as of the last day of the interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable Term SOFR Advances. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, Conversion to, or continuation of Term SOFR Advances in any Notice of Borrowing, but fails to specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.

(b)Following receipt of a Notice of Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, and if no timely notice of a Conversion or continuation is provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any automatic conversion to Daily SOFR Advances described in the preceding subsection. Each Lender shall make the amount of its Advance available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 1:00 P.M. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Notice of Borrowing.  Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 3.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the Initial Extension of Credit, Section 3.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower.
(c)Except as otherwise provided herein, a Term SOFR Advance may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Term SOFR Advance.  Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, if the Required Lenders so request in writing to the Administrative agent and the Borrower, (i) each Term SOFR Advance will automatically, on the last day of the existing Interest Period therefor, be Converted into a Daily SOFR Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Term SOFR Advances shall be suspended.
(d)The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Term SOFR Advances upon determination of such interest rate.
(e)After giving effect to all Borrowings, all Conversions of Advances from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Advances as the same Type, there shall not be more than five Interest Periods in effect with respect to Advances.
(f)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Lender may exchange, continue or rollover all of the portion of its Loans in connection with any refinancing, extension, loan modification or similar transaction permitted by the terms of this Agreement, pursuant to a cashless settlement mechanism approved by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and such Lender.
(g)Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.  In the case of any Borrowing, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.
(h)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing of Term SOFR Advances (or, in the case of any Borrowing of Base Rate Advances or Daily SOFR Advances, prior to 12:00 noon on the date of such Borrowing) that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative


Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Advances or Daily SOFR Advances, that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount.  In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Advances.  If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays its share of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance included in such Borrowing.  Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.  

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender with respect to any amount owing under this clause (h) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(i)The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Advances and to make payments pursuant to Section 9.04(c) are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any Advance or to make any payment under Section 9.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Advance or to make its payment under Section 9.04(c).
(j)If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Advance to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the Borrowing set forth in Article III are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest..
(k)Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for any Advance in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation or warranty by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Advance in any particular place or manner.
SECTION 2.03.Reserved.  
SECTION 2.04.Repayment of Advances.  The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances then outstanding on such date.
SECTION 2.05.Termination or Reduction of the Commitments.  (a)(a)  The aggregate Commitments shall be automatically and permanently reduced to zero on the date of the Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.01(a) and after giving effect thereto.
(b)The Borrower may, if no Notice of Borrowing is then outstanding, terminate the unused amount of the Commitment of a Defaulting Lender upon notice to the Administrative Agent (which will promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in such event the provisions of Section 2.11(g) and Section 2.13 will apply to all amounts thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or other amounts), provided that such


termination will not be deemed to be a waiver or release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have against such Defaulting Lender.
SECTION 2.06.Prepayments.  (a)(a)  Optional.  The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Notice of Loan Prepayment, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Advances in whole or in part without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 noon (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Term SOFR Advances and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Advances or Daily SOFR Advances; (ii) any prepayment of Term SOFR Advances shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Advances or Daily SOFR Advances shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.  Each such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Advances to be prepaid and, if Term SOFR Advances are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Advances.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such prepayment.  If such notice is given by the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.  Any prepayment of any Term SOFR Advance shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.17.  Subject to Section 2.21, each such prepayment shall be applied to the Advances of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares of the Facility Exposure at such time.
(b)Mandatory.  
(i)The Borrower shall, on each Business Day, prepay an aggregate principal amount of Unsecured Debt in an amount equal to the amount by which Unsecured Debt exceeds the Maximum Unsecured Debt Percentage of Total Unencumbered Asset Value.
(ii)All prepayments under this subsection (b) shall be made together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid.
SECTION 2.07.Interest.  (a)(a)  Scheduled Interest. Subject to the provisions of clause (b) below, (i) each Term SOFR Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin; (ii) each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing or Conversion date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin; and (c) each Daily SOFR Advance shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing or Conversion date at a rate per annum equal to Daily Simple SOFR plus the Applicable Margin.
(b)Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default of the type described in Section 6.01(a) or (f) or, at the election of the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay interest (which interest shall be payable both before and after the Administrative Agent has obtained a judgment with respect to the Facility) on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender, payable in arrears on the date referred to in clause (a) above and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the applicable rate per annum required to be paid on such Advance pursuant to clause (a) above and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable under the Loan Documents that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid in the case of interest, on the Type of Advance on which such interest has accrued pursuant to clause (a)  above. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07(b), the Borrower shall not in any capacity


and in no event be obliged to make any payment of interest or any other amount payable to any Lender hereunder in excess of any amount or rate which would be prohibited by law.
(c)Interest Payment Dates.  Interest on each Advance shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein.  Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
(d)Illegality.  If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Advances whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR and/or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR and/or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent), (i) any obligation of such Lender to make, Convert or continue any Advance to a Term SOFR Advance or Daily SOFR Advance, as applicable, shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or maintaining Base Rate Advances the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Advances of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon receipt of such notice, (i) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if and to the extent applicable, Convert all Term SOFR Advances and Daily SOFR Advances of such Lender to Base Rate Advances (the interest rate on which Base Rate Advances of such Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate), immediately in the case of Daily SOFR Advances and, in the case of Term SOFR Advances, either on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Advances to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Advances and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or charging interest rates based upon SOFR, the Administrative Agent shall during the period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the Term SOFR component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR.  Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.17.
(e)Inability to Determine Rates.
(i)If in connection with any request for a Daily SOFR Advance or a Term SOFR Advance or a conversion of an Advance to a Term SOFR Advance or a Daily SOFR Advance, or a continuation of a Term SOFR Advance, or at any other time with respect to a Daily SOFR Advance, as applicable, (A) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that (x) no Successor Rate has been determined in accordance with Section 2.07(e)(ii) below, and the circumstances under Section 2.07(e)(ii)(A) have occurred or the Scheduled Unavailability Date has occurred with respect to SOFR, or (y) adequate and reasonable means do not otherwise exist for determining SOFR, or Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Advance or in connection with an existing or proposed Base Rate Advance or Daily Simple SOFR for any determination date with respect to an existing or proposed Daily SOFR Advance, or (B) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders determine for any reason that Term SOFR for any requested Interest Period with respect to a proposed Term SOFR Advance or Daily Simple SOFR with respect to an existing or proposed Daily SOFR Advance, as the case may be, does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of funding such Advance, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower and each Lender.  


Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Term SOFR Advances and/or to make Daily SOFR Advances (as applicable), or to convert an Advance to a Daily SOFR Advance or a Term SOFR Advance, shall be suspended (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Advances, Daily SOFR Advances and/or Interest Periods), and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding sentence with respect to the Term SOFR component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the Term SOFR component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the Administrative Agent (or, in the case of a determination by the Required Lenders described in clause (B) of the first paragraph of this Section 2.07(e), until the Administrative Agent upon instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice.  

Upon receipt of such notice, (A) the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, or Conversion to, or continuation of Term SOFR Advances or the Borrowing of the Term Loan or a Conversion to Daily SOFR Advances (to the extent of the affected Term SOFR Advances, Daily SOFR Advances and/or Interest Periods) or, failing that, will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of Base Rate Advances in the amount specified therein and (B) any outstanding Term SOFR Advances and Daily SOFR Advances shall be deemed to have been converted to Base Rate Advances immediately, in the case of Daily SOFR Advances, and at the end of their respective applicable Interest Period, in the case of Term SOFR Advances.

(ii)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, if the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error), or the Borrower or Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent (with, in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the Borrower) that the Borrower or Required Lenders (as applicable) have determined, that:
(A)adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining SOFR and one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR, including, without limitation, because SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate, as applicable, is not available or published on a current basis and such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary; or
(B)the Applicable Authority has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which SOFR and one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate, as applicable, shall or will no longer be made available, or permitted to be used for determining the interest rate of Dollar denominated syndicated loans, or shall or will otherwise cease; provided that, at the time of such statement, there are no successor administrators that are satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, that will continue to provide SOFR or such interest periods of Term SOFR, as applicable, after such specific date (the latest date on which SOFR or one month, three month and six month interest periods of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Screen Rate are no longer available permanently or indefinitely, the “Scheduled Unavailability Date”);

or if the events or circumstances of the type described in Section 2.07(e)(ii)(A) or (B) have occurred with respect to the Successor Rate then in effect, then the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend this Agreement solely for the purpose of replacing SOFR and Term SOFR or any then current Successor Rate in accordance with this Section 2.07(e), with an alternative benchmark rate giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such alternative benchmark, and, in each case, including any mathematical or other adjustments to such benchmark giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention for similar Dollar denominated credit facilities syndicated and agented in the United States for such benchmark, which adjustment or method for calculating such adjustment shall be published on an information service as selected by the Administrative Agent from time to time in its reasonable discretion and may be periodically updated in its reasonable discretion (and any such proposed rate, including for the avoidance of doubt, any adjustment thereto, a “Successor Rate”), and


any such amendment shall become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time, Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative Agent written notice that such Required Lenders object to such amendment.

The Administrative Agent will promptly (in one or more notices) notify the Borrower and each Lender of the implementation of any Successor Rate.

Any Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Successor Rate shall be applied in a manner as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent.

Notwithstanding anything else herein, if at any time any Successor Rate as so determined would otherwise be less than zero, the Successor Rate will be deemed to be zero for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

In connection with the implementation of a Successor Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement; provided that, with respect to any such amendment so effected, the Administrative Agent shall post each such amendment implementing such Conforming Changes to the Borrower and the Lenders reasonably promptly after such amendment becomes effective.

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Advance (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Advance), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or any Lending Office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Advances made by such Lender to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(c)A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 2.10 and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent fraud or manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d)Reserved.
(e)Reserved.
(f)Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.10 for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender, notifies the Operating Partnership of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that,


if the event or circumstance giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(g)If (i) any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (ii) any Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or Section 2.10(b), (iii) [reserved], or (iv) Borrower is required to pay Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any governmental authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.12 (any such Lender, an “Affected Lender”), then the Operating Partnership shall have the right, upon written demand to such Affected Lender and the Administrative Agent at any time thereafter to cause such Affected Lender to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes, if any, held by it) to a Replacement Lender, provided that the proposed assignment does not conflict with applicable laws.  The Replacement Lender shall purchase such interests of the Affected Lender at par and shall assume the rights and obligations of the Affected Lender under this Agreement upon execution by the Replacement Lender of an Assignment and Acceptance delivered pursuant to Section 9.07; provided, however, the Affected Lender shall be entitled to indemnification as otherwise provided in this Agreement with respect to any events occurring prior to such assignment.  Any Lender that becomes an Affected Lender agrees that, upon receipt of notice from the Borrower given in accordance with this Section 2.10(g) it shall promptly execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with a Replacement Lender as contemplated by this Section 2.10(g).  The execution and delivery of any such Assignment and Acceptance shall not be deemed to comprise a waiver of claims against any Affected Lender by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or a waiver of any claims against the Borrower or the Administrative Agent by the Affected Lender.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender shall not be required to make any assignment pursuant to this Section 2.10(g) if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Operating Partnership to require such assignment cease to apply.
SECTION 2.11.Payments and Computations  (a)(a) All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made free and clear of and without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.   Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified herein.  The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office.  All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.  If any payment to be made by the Borrower shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
(b)Reserved.
(c)All computations of interest for Base Rate Advances (including Base Rate Advances determined by reference to the Term SOFR) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed.  All other computations of fees and interest, including those with respect to Daily SOFR Advances and Term SOFR Advances, shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable, being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).  Interest shall accrue on each Advance for the day on which the Advance is made, and shall not accrue on an Advance, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Advance or such portion is paid, provided that any Advance that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.11(a), bear interest for one day.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
(d)Reserved.


(e)Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due.

With respect to any payment that the Administrative Agent makes for the account of the Lenders hereunder as to which the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that any of the following applies (such payment referred to as the “Rescindable Amount”): (1) the Borrower has not in fact made such payment; (2) the Administrative Agent has made a payment in excess of the amount so paid by the Borrower (whether or not then owed); or (3) the Administrative agent has for any reason otherwise erroneously made such payment; then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the Rescindable Amount so distributed to such Lender in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount owing under this clause (e) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.  

(f)Reserved.
(g)Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in the order of priority set forth below in this Section 2.11(g).  The order of priority shall be as follows:
(i)first, to the payment of all of the fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Administrative Agent on such date;

(vii) any Dutch Tax that arises as a result of any Lender having a substantial interest (aanmerkelijk belang) as defined in the Dutch Income Tax Act 2001 (Wet inkomstenbelasting 2001) in a Dutch Borrower, and (viii) any Tax imposed under the Dutch Withholding Tax Act 2021 (Wet bronbelasting 2021) (all such excluded Taxes in respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes being referred to as “Excluded Taxes”, and all Taxes other than Other Taxes and Excluded Taxes in respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes being referred to as “Indemnified Taxes”).  If the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, (i) to the extent such Taxes are Indemnified Taxes, an additional amount shall be payable by the Borrower as may be necessary so that after the Borrower and the Administrative Agent have made all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall make all such deductions and (iii) Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b)Reserved.
(c)Reserved.
(d)In addition, but without duplication of amounts payable under Section 2.12(a), the Borrower shall pay any present or future stamp, stamp duties (bea meterai), documentary, excise, property, intangible, mortgage recording or similar taxes, charges or levies imposed by any governmental authorityApplicable Governmental Authority that arise from any payment made hereunder or under the Notes or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, or any other Loan Document, except any Luxembourg registration duties (droits d’enregistrement) applicable pursuant to the voluntary registration by any Lender of any Loan Documents, which shall mean that such registration is (i) not mandatory and (ii) not required to maintain, defend or preserve the rights of the relevant Lenders under the relevant Loan Documents, except any such taxes that are Other Connection Taxes imposed with respect to any assignment (other than an assignment made pursuant to Section 2.10(fg)) (“Other Taxes”).  All payments to be made by the Loan Parties under or in connection with the Loan Documents have been calculated without regard to Indirect Tax.  If all or part of any such payment is the consideration for a taxable supply or otherwise chargeable with Indirect Tax and if the Administrative Agent or any Lender is liable to pay such Indirect Tax to the relevant tax authorities then, when the applicable Loan Party makes the payment (i) it must pay to the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender, as the case may be, an additional amount equal to that payment (or part) multiplied by the appropriate rate of Indirect Tax and (ii) the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, shall promptly provide to the applicable Loan Party a tax invoice complying with the relevant law relating to such Indirect Tax.  Where a Loan Document requires a Loan Party to reimburse the Administrative Agent or any Lender, as applicable, for any costs or expenses, such Loan Party shall also at the same time pay and indemnify the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, an amount equal to any Indirect Tax incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, in respect of the costs or expenses, save to the extent that that the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, is entitled to repayment or credit in respect of the Indirect Tax.  The Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, will promptly provide to the applicable Loan Party a tax invoice complying with the relevant law relating to that Indirect Tax.
(e)Without duplication of Sections 2.12(a) or 2.12(d), the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender and the Administrative Agent for and hold them harmless against the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of Indemnified Taxes and Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 2.12, imposed on or paid by such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and reasonable expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.  This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor; provided, however, that the Borrower


shall not be obligated to make payment to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 2.12 in respect of any penalties, interest and other liabilities attributable to Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes to the extent such penalties, interest and other liabilities are attributable to (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, or (ii) a material breach by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in bad faith of such party’s obligations hereunder, in either case as found in a final, non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.07(h) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (e).
(f)As soon as practicable after the date of any payment of Taxes by the Borrower to any governmental authorityApplicable Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.12, the Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment or, if such receipts are not obtainable, other evidence of such payments by the Borrower reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(g)(i)(i)Any Lender (which, for purposes of this Section 2.12(g) shall include the Administrative Agent) that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, upon becoming a party to this Agreement and at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, upon becoming a party to this Agreement and if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any form or document referred to in this subsection (g) (other than any form or document referred to in subsection (g)(ii)(A), (B) or (D) of this Section 2.12) requires the disclosure of information that the applicable Lender reasonably considers to be confidential, such Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information.
(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:  (A) any Lender that is a U.S. person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), duly completed and signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding; (B) each Lender that is not a U.S. person (as defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code) (each, a “Foreign Lender”) shall, to the extent that it is legally entitled to do so, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of


each Initial Lender, and on the Transfer Date with respect to the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender in the case of each other Lender, and from time to time thereafter as requested in writing by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but only so long thereafter as such Lender remains lawfully able to do so), provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (1) in the case of a Foreign Lender that is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a statement in a form agreed to between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower to the effect that such Lender is eligible for a complete exemption from withholding of United States Taxes under Section 871(h) or 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, and (y) two duly completed and signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E or successor and related applicable form; or (2) two duly completed and signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (claiming an exemption from or a reduction in United States withholding tax under an applicable treaty) or its successor form, Form W-8ECI (claiming an exemption from United States withholding tax as effectively connected income) or its successor form, or Form W-8IMY (together with any supporting documentation) or its successor form, and related applicable forms, as the case may be; (C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), duly completed and signed copies of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and (D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to withholding Tax 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 Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative 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 the purposes of this subsection (g), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
(ii)Each Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances that would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption from or reduction of Taxes.  Each Lender further 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 the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(h)Any Lender claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.12 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, (x) be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender or (y) subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense.


(i)If any Lender or the Administrative Agent receives a refund of Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Borrower or for which the Borrower has indemnified any Lender or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, pursuant to this Section 2.12, then such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, shall pay such amount, net of any reasonable expenses incurred by such Lender or the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower as soon as practicable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) the Borrower shall not be entitled to review the tax records or financial information of any Lender or the Administrative Agent and (ii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any obligation to pursue (and no Loan Party shall have any right to assert) any refund of Taxes or Other Taxes that may be paid by the Borrower.  
(j)Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.12 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.  
(k)For purposes of this Section 2.12 (except for purposes of the first sentence of paragraph (i)), references to the Administrative Agent shall include any Affiliate or sub-agent of the Administrative Agent, in each case performing any duties or obligations of the Administrative Agent.  For purposes of this Section 2.12, the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.
SECTION 2.13.Sharing of Payments, If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of the Advances made by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of such Advances or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Advances of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Advances and other amounts owing them, provided that:
(i)if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii)the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender) or (y) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Advances to any assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.13 shall apply).

Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the amount of such participation.

SECTION 2.14.Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Advances shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds) solely for the acquisition, development and redevelopment of Assets, for repayment of Debt, for working capital and for other general corporate purposes of the Parent Guarantor, the Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries.  Borrower will not directly or knowingly indirectly use the proceeds of the Advances, or lend, contribute or otherwise make available to any Subsidiary, joint venture partner or other Person such extensions of credit or proceeds, (i) to fund any prohibited activities or businesses of or with any Person, or in any country or territory, that, at the time of such funding, is, or whose government


is, the subject of Sanctions or (ii) in any other manner that would result in a violation of Sanctions by any Person (including any Person participating in the Facility, whether as underwriter, advisor, investor, or otherwise) or any Anti-Corruption Laws.

SECTION 2.15.Evidence of Debt.  (a)(a)  Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.  The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is required or appropriate in order for such Lender to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a Note, in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, payable to such Lender in a principal amount equal to the Commitment of such Lender.  All references to Notes in the Loan Documents shall mean Notes, if any, to the extent issued hereunder.  In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Note shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.
(b)The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d) may include a control account and a subsidiary account for each Lender.  In each account with respect to each Lender (including the control account and subsidiary account, if applicable) there shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender’s share thereof.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the Register, the Register shall control in the absence of manifest error.  
(c)Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.  It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Advances will be treated as in “registered form” within the meaning of Sections 163(f), 871(h)(2) and 881(c)(2) of the Internal Revenue Code (and any other relevant or successor provisions of the Internal Revenue Code).
SECTION 2.16.Extension of Maturity Date.  The Borrower may request, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, at least 30 days prior, but not earlier than the day occurring 60 days and one year prior to the Initial Maturity Date, a twelve-month extension of the Initial Maturity Date (an “Extension Request”).  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such Extension Request and the Initial Maturity Date shall, effective as of the applicable Extension Date (as defined below), be extended for an additional twelve-month period, provided that, on such Extension Date (a) the Administrative Agent shall have received payment in full of the extension fee set forth in Section 2.08(d) and (b) the following statements shall be true and the Administrative Agent shall have received for the account of each Lender a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Operating Partnership, dated the applicable Extension Date, stating that:  (i) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01 are true and correct in all material respects (unless qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect, in which case such representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of such Extension Date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and accurate in all material respects or all respects, as applicable, on and as of such earlier date)), and (ii) no


Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such extension.  “Extension Date” means the first date after the delivery by the Borrower of the related Extension Request that the conditions set forth in clauses (a) and (b) above are satisfied.  In the event that an extension is effected pursuant to this Section 2.16, the aggregate principal amount of all Advances shall be repaid in full to the Lenders on the Maturity Date as so extended.  As of the Extension Date, any and all references in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the “Maturity Date” shall refer to the Maturity Date as so extended.

SECTION 2.17.Compensation for Losses.   Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
(a)any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Advance other than a Base Rate Advance or a Daily SOFR Advance on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance (whether voluntary, mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);
(b)any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make an Advance) to prepay, borrow, continue or Convert any Advance other than a Base Rate Advance or a Daily SOFR Advance on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrower; or
(c)any assignment of a Term SOFR Advance on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10(g);

including any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Advance or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained (but excluding any lost profit or loss of Applicable Margin).  The Borrower shall also pay any customary administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

SECTION 2.18.Reserved.    
SECTION 2.19.Reserved.
SECTION 2.20.Reserved.  
SECTION 2.21.Defaulting Lenders.  (a)(a)  If a Lender becomes, and during the period it remains, a Defaulting Lender, then any amount paid by the Borrower or otherwise received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity payments or other amounts) will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Administrative Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account until the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations and will be applied by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority:  first to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement; second to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Non-Defaulting Lenders under this Agreement, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts then due and payable to them; third, as the Operating Partnership may request to the funding of any Advance in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent, provided that no Default or Event of Default then exists; fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Operating Partnership, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Advances under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by such against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, after the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.  


Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may apply any such amount in accordance with Section 2.11.

(b)(b)If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par such portion of outstanding Advances of the other Lenders and/or make such other adjustments as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Pro Rata Share of the Lenders to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitments whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender and will be a Non-Defaulting Lender (and such Pro Rata Share of each Lender will automatically be adjusted on a prospective basis to reflect the foregoing), provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; provided further that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Non-Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(i)that such Guarantor is or, after giving the financial assistance, would be unable to pay its liabilities as they become due; or
(ii)that the realizable value of such Guarantor’s assets, excluding the amount of any financial assistance in the form of a loan or in the form of assets pledged or encumbered to secure the Guaranty, after giving the financial assistance, would be less than the aggregate of such Guarantor’s liabilities and stated capital of all classes.
(d)Reserved.

(f)France:  (i)(i)  The liability of any Guarantor incorporated under the laws of France (a “French Guarantor”) under this Article VII and under any indemnities contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not include any obligation or liability which, if incurred, would constitute the provision of financial assistance within the meaning of Article L.225-216 of the French Code de Commerce or/and would constitute a misuse of corporate assets within the meaning of Article L.241-3, L.242-6 or L.244-1 of the French Code de Commerce or any other law or regulation having the same effect, as interpreted by the French courts.
(ii)The Guaranteed Obligations of each French Guarantor under this Article VII shall be limited at any time to an amount equal to the aggregate of all Advances to the extent directly or indirectly on-lent to such French Guarantor under an intercompany loan agreement (each a “Qualified French Intercompany Loan”) and outstanding at the date a payment is made by such French Guarantor under this Article VII, it being specified that any payment made by such French Guarantor under this Article VII in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations shall reduce pro tanto the outstanding amount of the applicable Qualified French Intercompany Loan (if any) due by such French Guarantor.
(iii)It is acknowledged that such French Guarantor is not acting jointly and severally with the other Guarantors as to its obligations pursuant to the guarantee given pursuant to this Article VII.
(g)Germany:  (i)(i)  The obligations and liabilities of any Guarantor incorporated or established and existing as a German limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung – GmbH) (each, a “German GmbH Guarantor”), shall be subject to the following limitations.  To the extent that the Guaranteed Obligations include liabilities of such German GmbH Guarantor’s direct or indirect shareholder(s) (each, an “Up-stream Guaranty”) or its affiliated companies (verbundenes Unternehmen) within the meaning of section 15 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz)


(other than Subsidiaries of that German GmbH Guarantor) (each, a “Cross-stream Guaranty”) (save for any guarantee of funds to the extent they (x) are on-lent and/or (y) replace or refinance funds which were on-lent in each case to that German GmbH Guarantor or its Subsidiaries and such amount on-lent is not returned), the guaranty created under this Article VII shall not be enforced against such German GmbH Guarantor at the time of the respective Payment Demand (as defined below) if and only to the extent that the German GmbH Guarantor demonstrates to the reasonable satisfaction of the Administrative Agent that the enforcement would have the effect of:  (1) causing such German GmbH Guarantor’s Net Assets (as defined below) to be reduced below zero, or (2) if its Net Assets are already below zero, causing such amount to be further reduced, and thereby, in each case, affecting its assets required for the maintenance of its stated share capital (gezeichnetes Kapital) pursuant to Sections 30 and 31 of the German Limited Liability Company Act (Gesetz betreffend die Gesellschaften mit beschränkter Haftung, “GmbHG”), as applicable at the time of enforcement.  No reduction of the amount enforceable under this Article VII will prejudice the rights of the Administrative Agent to again enforce the guaranty created under this Article VII at a later time under this Agreement (subject always to the operation of the limitations set forth above at the time of such further enforcement).  “Net Assets” means the applicable German GmbH Guarantor’s assets (section 266 sub-section (2) of the German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch) (“HGB”)) minus the aggregate of its liabilities (section 266 sub-section (3) B, C HGB (but disregarding, for the avoidance of doubt, any provisions in respect of the guaranty created under this Article VII), accruals and deferred tax (section 266 subsection (3) D, E HGB), its stated share capital (gezeichnetes Kapital) (section 266 subsection (3)A(I) HGB) and any amounts not available for distribution according to Section 268 subsection (8) HGB.  The Net Assets shall be determined in accordance with the generally accepted accounting principles in Germany consistently applied by the applicable German GmbH Guarantor in preparing its unconsolidated balance sheet (Jahresabschluss according to section 42 GmbHG and sections 242, 264 HGB) in the previous financial years, but for the purposes of the calculation of the Net Assets the following balance sheet items shall be adjusted as follows:  (x) the amount of any increase of the stated share capital (Erhöhungen des gezeichneten Kapitals) after the date of this Agreement shall be deducted from the stated share capital unless permitted under the Loan Documents or approved by the Administrative Agent); (y) loans received by, and other contractual liabilities of, the applicable German GmbH Guarantor which are subordinated within the meaning of section 39 subsection 1 no. 5 or section 39 subsection 2 of the German Insolvency Code (Insolvenzordnung) (contractually or by law) shall be disregarded; and (z) loans and other contractual liabilities incurred by the applicable German GmbH Guarantor in violation of the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be disregarded.
(ii)The limitations set forth in Section 7.09(g)(i) only apply if within 15 Business Days after receipt from the Administrative Agent of a notice stating that the Administrative Agent intends to demand payment under this Article VII against the applicable German GmbH Guarantor (each, a “Payment Demand”), the managing director(s) of such German GmbH Guarantor has (have) confirmed in writing to the Administrative Agent (A) why and to what extent the guarantee is an Up-stream Guaranty or a Cross-stream Guaranty and (B) which amount of such Up-stream Guaranty or Cross-stream Guaranty, as applicable, may not be enforced given that the applicable German GmbH Guarantor’s Net Assets are below zero or such enforcement would cause such German GmbH Guarantor’s Net Assets to be reduced below zero, as a result of which such enforcement would lead to a violation of the capital maintenance rules as set out in sections 30 and 31 GmbHG, and such confirmation is supported by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, including without limitation an up-to-date balance sheet of such German GmbH Guarantor, together with a detailed calculation of the amount of such German GmbH Guarantor’s Net Assets taking into account the adjustments and obligations set forth in Section 7.09(g)(i) (the “Management Determination”).  Each German GmbH Guarantor shall comply with its obligations under this Article VII within the period set forth above, and the Administrative Agent may enforce the guaranty created under this Article VII in an amount which would, in accordance with the


Management Determination, not cause such German GmbH Guarantor’s Net Assets to be reduced (or to fall further) below zero.  Following receipt by the Administrative Agent of the Management Determination, the applicable German GmbH Guarantor shall deliver to the Administrative Agent upon request within 30 Business Days an up-to-date balance sheet of such German GmbH Guarantor, prepared by an auditor of international reputation appointed by such German GmbH Guarantor, together with a detailed calculation (satisfactory to the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion) of the amount of the Net Assets of such German GmbH Guarantor taking into account the adjustments and obligations set forth in Section 7.09(g)(i) (the “Auditor’s Determination”).  Such balance sheet and Auditor’s Determination shall be prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Germany consistently applied by the applicable German GmbH Guarantor in preparing its unconsolidated balance sheet (Jahresabschluss according to section 42 GmbHG and sections 242, 264 HGB) in the previous financial years.  Each Auditor’s Determination shall be prepared as of the date of the enforcement of this Article VII.  Each German GmbH Guarantor shall comply with its obligations under this Article VII within the period set forth above and the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to enforce the guaranty created under this Article VII in an amount which would, in accordance with the Auditor’s Determination, not cause the Net Assets of the German GmbH Guarantor to be reduced (or to fall further) below zero.
(iii)Each German GmbH Guarantor shall, within 60 Business Days after receipt of a Payment Demand, realize, unless not legally permitted to do so, any and all of its assets (other than assets that are necessary for the business (betriebsnotwendig) of such German GmbH Guarantor) that are shown in the balance sheet with a book value (Buchwert) that is substantially (i.e., at least 20%) lower than the market value of the assets if, as a result of the enforcement of the guaranty created under this Article VII against such German GmbH Guarantor, its Net Assets would be reduced below zero.  After the expiry of such 60 Business Day period, such German GmbH Guarantor shall, within five Business Days, notify the Administrative Agent of the amount of the proceeds obtained from the realization and submit a statement setting forth a new calculation of the amount of the Net Assets of such German GmbH Guarantor taking into account such proceeds.  Such calculation shall, upon the Administrative Agent’s reasonable request, be confirmed by the auditors referred to in Section 7.09(g)(ii) within a period of 20 Business Days following the applicable request.  If the Administrative Agent disagrees with any Auditor’s Determination or the new calculation referred to in this Section 7.09(g)(iii), the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to pursue in court a claim under this Article VII in excess of the amounts paid or payable pursuant to the provisions above, for the avoidance of doubt, it being understood that the relevant German GmbH Guarantor shall not be obligated to pay any such excessive amounts on demand.
(iv)The restrictions set forth in Section 7.09(g)(i) shall only apply if, to the extent and for so long as (A) the applicable German GmbH Guarantor has complied with its obligations pursuant to Sections 7.09(g)(ii) and (iii), (B) the applicable German GmbH Guarantor is not a party to a profit and loss sharing agreement (Gewinnabführungsvertrag) and/or a domination agreement (Beherrschungsvertrag) (within the meaning of Section 291 of the German Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz)) where such German GmbH Guarantor is the dominated entity (beherrschtes Unternehmen) and/or the entity being obliged to share its profits with the other party of such profit and loss sharing agreement other than to the extent that the existence of such a profit and loss sharing agreement and/or domination agreement does not result in the inapplicability of the relevant restrictions set forth in sections 30 and 31 GmbHG, and (C) the applicable German GmbH Guarantor does, at the time when a payment is made under this Article VII, not hold a fully recoverable indemnity or claim for refund (vollwertiger Gegenleistungs- oder Rückgewähranspruch) (within the meaning of section 30 (1) sentence 2


GmbHG) against the relevant shareholder covering at least the relevant amount payable under this Article VII.
(v)Sections 7.09(g)(i) through (iv) shall apply mutatis mutandis to a Guarantor organized and existing as a limited liability partnership (Kommanditgesellschaft – KG) with a German limited liability company (Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung – GmbH) as its sole general partner, provided that in such case and for the purpose of this Article VII, any reference to such Guarantor’s net assets (Reinvermögen) shall be deemed to be a reference to the net assets (Reinvermögen) of such Guarantor and its general partner (Komplementär) on a pro forma consolidated basis.

(n)Spain:  The liability of each Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Spain under this Article VII and under any indemnities contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not include any obligations which would give rise to a breach of the provisions of Spanish law relating to restrictions on the provision of financial assistance (or refinancing of any debt incurred) in connection with the acquisition of shares in the relevant Spanish Loan Party and/or its controlling corporation (or, in the case of a Spanish Loan Party which is a “sociedad de responsabilidad limitada”, of a company in the same group as such Spanish obligor) as provided in article 150 of Spanish Capital Companies Act (Ley de Sociedades de Capital) and article 143.2 of the Spanish Capital Companies Act (Ley de Sociedades de Capital), as applicable.  The obligations of each Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Spain under this Article VII shall be capable of enforcement in accordance with applicable law against all present and future assets of such Guarantor save to the extent that applicable Spanish law specifies otherwise.  For the purposes of this Article VII, a reference to the “group” of a Guarantor incorporated under the laws of Spain shall mean such Guarantor and any other companies constituting a unity of decision.  It shall be presumed that there is unity of decision when any of the scenarios set out in section 1 and/or section 2 of article 42 of the Spanish Commercial Code (Código de Comercio) are met.

(ii)The limitation in clause (i) above shall only apply to the extent it is a requirement under applicable law at the time the Swiss Guarantor is required to perform under the Loan Documents.  Such limitation shall not free the Swiss Guarantor from its obligations in excess of the freely disposable equity, but merely postpone the performance date thereof until such times when the Swiss Guarantor has again freely disposable equity if and to the extent such freely disposable equity is available.

(p)The Czech Republic:  No Guarantor incorporated under the laws of The Czech Republic or any Guarantor which is a direct or indirect Subsidiary of a company incorporated under the laws of The Czech Republic shall have any liability pursuant to this Article VII to the extent that the same would result in the violation of financial assistance provisions set out in Section 161e and 161f of the Czech Commercial Code.

(ii)The limitation stipulated in Section 7.09(q)(i) above shall not apply if:
(A)Polish law is amended in such a manner that (1) a debtor whose liabilities exceed the value of its assets is no longer deemed insolvent (niewypłacalny) as provided for in Article 11 Sec. 2 of the Polish Bankruptcy and Restructuring Law (as in force on the date of this Agreement and/or as amended or substituted for time to time) or that (2) the insolvency (niewypłacalność) of a debtor within the meaning of Article 11 Sec. 2 of the Polish Bankruptcy and Restructuring Law (as in force on the date of this Agreement and/or as amended or substituted from time to time) no longer gives grounds for an immediate declaration of its bankruptcy (ogłoszenie upadłości) or no longer obliges the representatives of the Polish Guarantor to immediately file for the declaration of its bankruptcy; or
(B)the aggregate value of the liabilities of the Polish Guarantor (other than those under this Article VII) exceeds the aggregate value of the assets of such Polish Guarantor, thus resulting in the Polish Guarantor’s insolvency within the meaning of Article 11 Sec. 2 of the Polish Bankruptcy and Restructuring Law.

ARTICLE VIII
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
SECTION 8.01.Appointment and Authority.  Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Article VIII are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions.  It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead such term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.  
SECTION 8.02.Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
SECTION 8.03.Exculpatory Provisions.  The Administrative Agent, the Bookrunners, the Arrangers, the Documentation Agents or the Syndication Agent, as applicable, shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties hereunder shall be administrative in nature.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, the Bookrunners, the Arrangers, the Documentation Agents or the Syndication Agent, as applicable:
(a)shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b)shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents


that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law, including for the avoidance of doubt any action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief Law or that may effect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Law;
(c)shall not have any duty or responsibility to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, to any Lender, any credit or other information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Loan Parties or any of their Affiliates, that is communicated to, obtained or in the possession of, the Administrative Agent, any Bookrunner, any Arranger, and Documentation Agent, the Syndication Agent or any of their Related Parties in any capacity, except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein;
(d)shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 9.01 and 7.01) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment.  The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given in writing to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender; and
(e)shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article III or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
SECTION 8.04.Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of an Advance, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Advance.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
SECTION 8.05.Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article VIII shall apply to any such sub agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub agent, and shall apply to their respective activities


in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

SECTION 8.06.Resignation of Administrative Agents.  (a)(a)  The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above, provided that in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender.  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b)If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (iv) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
(c)With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) except for any indemnity payments or other amounts then owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or removed) Administrative Agent (other than as provided in Section 2.12(g) and other than any rights to indemnity payments or other amounts owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent as of the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date, as applicable), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section 8.06).  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article VIII and Section 9.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them (i) while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent and (ii) after such resignation or removal for as long as any of them continues to act in any capacity hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, including in respect of any actions taken in connection with transferring the agency to any successor Administrative Agent.
SECTION 8.07.Non-Reliance on the Administrative Agent, the Bookrunners, the Arrangers, the Documentation Agents, the Syndication Agent and the Other Lenders.  Each Lender expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent, any Bookrunner, any Arranger, any Documentation Agent or the Syndication Agent has made any representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative


Agent, any Bookrunner, any Arranger, any Documentation Agent or the Syndication Agent hereafter taken, including any consent to, and acceptance of any assignment or review of the affairs of any Loan Party of any Affiliate thereof, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent, such Bookrunner, such Arranger, such Documentation Agent or the Syndication Agent to any Lender as to any matter, including whether the Administrative Agent or such Arranger have disclosed material information in their (or their Related Parties’) possession.  Each Lender represents to the Administrative Agent, the Bookrunners, the Arrangers, the Documentation Agents and the Syndication Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Bookrunners, the Arrangers, the Documentation Agents, the Syndication Agent, any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis of, appraisal of, and investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties and their Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrower hereunder.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Bookrunners, the Arrangers, the Documentation Agents, the Syndication Agent, any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder, and to make such investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Loan Parties.  Each Lender represents and warrants that (i) the Loan Documents set forth the terms of a commercial lending facility and (ii) it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course and is entering into this Agreement as a Lender for the purpose of making, acquiring or holding commercial loans and providing other facilities set forth herein as may be applicable to such Lender, and not for the purpose of purchasing, acquiring or holding any other type of financial instrument, and each Lender agrees not to assert a claim in contravention of the foregoing. Each Lender represents and warrants that it is sophisticated with respect to decisions to make, acquire and/or hold commercial loans and to provide other facilities set forth herein, as may be applicable to such Lender, and either it, or the Person exercising discretion in making its decision to make, acquire and/or hold such commercial loans or to provide such other facilities, is experienced in making, acquiring or holding such commercial loans or providing such other facilities.
SECTION 8.08.No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the Bookrunners, the Arrangers, the Documentation Agents or the Syndication Agent listed on the cover page hereof shall have any powers, duties or responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender hereunder.
SECTION 8.09.Guaranty Matters.  The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction permitted under the Loan Documents.
SECTION 8.10.Certain ERISA Matters.  (a)(a) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender hereto, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender hereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and each Arranger and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:
(i)such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of or performance of the Advances, the Commitments or this Agreement,
(ii)the prohibited transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified


professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement,
(iii)the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14) (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Commitments and this Agreement, or
(iv)such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.
(b)In addition, unless either (1) clause (i) in the immediately preceding subsection (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with clause (iv) in the immediately preceding subsection (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, that the Administrative Agent is not a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Advances, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).
SECTION 8.11.Recovery of Erroneous Payments. Without limitation of any other provision in this Agreement, if at any time the Administrative Agent makes a payment hereunder in error to any Lender, whether or not in respect of an Obligation due and owing by the Borrower at such time, where such payment is a Rescindable Amount, then in any such event, each Lender receiving a Rescindable Amount severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent no later than two (2) Business Days after demand the Rescindable Amount received by such Lender in immediately available funds in the currency so received, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Rescindable Amount is received by it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation. Each Lender irrevocably waives any and all defenses, including any “discharge for value” (under which a creditor might otherwise claim a right to retain funds mistakenly paid by a third party in respect of a debt owed by another) or similar defense to its obligation to return any Rescindable Amount.  The Administrative Agent shall inform each Lender promptly upon determining that any payment made to such Lender comprised, in whole or in part, a Rescindable Amount.

(b)In the event that any Lender (a “Non-Consenting Lender”) shall refuse to consent to a waiver or amendment to, or a departure from, the provisions of this Agreement which requires the consent of all Lenders or all affected Lenders and that has, where applicable, been consented to by the Required Lenders, then the Operating Partnership shall have the right, upon written demand to such Non-Consenting Lender and the Administrative Agent given at any time after the date on which such consent was first solicited in writing from the Lenders by the Administrative Agent (a “Consent Request Date”), to cause such Non-Consenting Lender to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes, if any, held by it) to an Eligible Assignee designated by the Borrower and approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) or to another Lender (a “Replacement Lender”).  The Replacement Lender shall purchase such interests of the Non-Consenting Lender at par and shall assume the rights and obligations of the Non-Consenting Lender under this Agreement upon execution by the Replacement Lender of an Assignment and Acceptance


delivered pursuant to Section 9.07, however the Non-Consenting Lender shall be entitled to indemnification as otherwise provided in this Agreement with respect to any events occurring prior to such assignment.  Any Lender that becomes a Non-Consenting Lender agrees that, upon receipt of notice from the Borrower given in accordance with this Section 9.01(b) it shall promptly execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with a Replacement Lender as contemplated by this Section 9.01(b).  The execution and delivery of any such Assignment and Acceptance shall not be deemed to comprise a waiver of claims against any Non-Consenting Lender by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or a waiver of any claims against the Borrower or the Administrative Agent by the Non-Consenting Lender.
(c)Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent (which shall forward such notice to all Lenders) make an offer (a “Loan Modification Offer”) to all Lenders to make one or more amendments or modifications to allow the maturity of such Commitments of the Accepting Lenders (as defined below) to be extended and, in connection with such extension, to (i) increase the Applicable Margin and/or fees payable with respect to the applicable the Commitments of the Accepting Lenders and/or the payment of additional fees or other consideration to the Accepting Lenders, and/or (ii) change such additional terms and conditions of this Agreement solely as applicable to the Accepting Lenders (such additional changed terms and conditions (to the extent not otherwise approved by the Required Lenders under Section 9.01(a)) to be effective only during the period following the original maturity date in effect immediately prior to its extension by such Accepting Lenders) (collectively, “Permitted Amendments”). Such notice shall set forth (A) the terms and conditions of the requested Permitted Amendments, and (B) the date on which such Permitted Amendments are requested to become effective (which shall not be less than 10 days nor more than 120 days after the date of such notice). Permitted Amendments shall become effective only with respect to the Commitments of the Lenders that accept the Loan Modification Offer (such Lenders, the “Accepting Lenders”) and, in the case of any Accepting Lender, only with respect to such Lender’s Commitments as to which such Lender’s acceptance has been made. The Loan Parties, each Accepting Lender and the Administrative Agent shall enter into a loan modification agreement (the “Loan Modification Agreement”) and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to evidence (x) the acceptance of the Permitted Amendments and the terms and conditions thereof and (y) the authorization of the Borrower to enter into and perform its obligations under the Loan Modification Agreement. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of any Loan Modification Agreement. Each party hereto agrees that, upon the effectiveness of a Loan Modification Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent (but only to the extent) necessary to reflect the existence and terms of the Permitted Amendment evidenced thereby and only with respect to the Commitments of the Accepting Lenders as to which such Lenders’ acceptance has been made.
(d)Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, during such period as a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, such Lender will not be entitled to vote in respect of amendments and waivers hereunder and the Commitment and the outstanding Advances or other extensions of credit of such Lender hereunder will not be taken into account in determining whether the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders, as required, have approved any such amendment or waiver (and the definition of “Required Lenders”) will automatically be deemed modified accordingly for the duration of such period), provided that any such amendment or waiver that would increase or extend the term of the Commitment of such Defaulting Lender, extend the date fixed for the payment of principal or interest owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, reduce the principal amount of any obligation owing to such Defaulting Lender, reduce the amount of or the rate or amount of interest on any amount owing to such Defaulting Lender or of any fee payable to such Defaulting Lender hereunder, or alter the terms of this proviso, will require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.
(e)Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) if the Administrative Agent and the Borrower have jointly identified an ambiguity, omission, mistake or defect in any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or an inconsistency between a provision of this Agreement and/or a provision of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall be permitted to amend such provision to cure such ambiguity, omission, mistake, defect or inconsistency, and, in each case, such


amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to any Loan Document, so long as to do so would not adversely affect the interests of the Lenders in any material respect and (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Borrower may amend the provisions of Section 9.02 with respect to notices that either the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may deliver to each other but not with respect to notices to be delivered to any other Lender.
(f)If the Administrative Agent shall request the consent of the Lenders pursuant to Section 9.01(a) and any Lender shall fail to respond to such consent request (which response must include any information as may have been reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent from such Lender in connection with such consent request) within the earlier of (x) the applicable time period specified for the granting or withholding of such consent pursuant to the Loan Documents, if any, and (y) ten (10) Business Days after delivery of such request, then the Lender that has failed to respond shall be deemed to have consented to such request.

The Borrower acknowledges that (i) the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution, (ii) the Platform is provided “as is” and “as available” and (iii) neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Affiliates warrants the accuracy, adequacy or completeness of the Communications or the Platform and each expressly disclaims liability for errors or omissions in the Communications or the Platform.  No warranty of any kind, express, implied or statutory, including, without limitation, any warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement of third party rights or freedom from viruses or other code defects, is made by the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in connection with the Platform.

(c)Each Lender agrees that notice to it (as provided in the next sentence) (a “Notice”) specifying that any Communications have been posted to the Platform shall constitute effective delivery of such information, documents or other materials to such Lender for purposes of this Agreement, provided that if requested by any Lender, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of the Communications to such Lender by email or facsimile.  Each Lender agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such Lender’s email address to which a Notice may be sent by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before the date such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter to ensure that the Administrative Agent has on record an effective email address for such Lender) and (ii) that any Notice may be sent to such email address.
SECTION 9.03.No Waiver; Remedies.  No failure on the part of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.  The remedies provided in the Loan Documents are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.


SECTION 9.04.Costs and Expenses.  (a)(a)  Each Loan Party agrees jointly and severally to pay on demand (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, (A) all due diligence, syndication, transportation, computer, duplication, appraisal, audit, insurance, consultant, search, filing and recording fees and expenses, (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent with respect thereto (subject to the terms of the Fee Letter with respect to counsel fees incurred by the Administrative Agent through the Closing Date) with respect to advising the Administrative Agent as to its rights and responsibilities (including, without limitation, with respect to reviewing and advising on any matters required to be completed by the Loan Parties on a post-closing basis), or the perfection, protection or preservation of rights or interests, under the Loan Documents, with respect to negotiations with any Loan Party or with other creditors of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries arising out of any Default or any events or circumstances that may give rise to a Default and with respect to presenting claims in or otherwise participating in or monitoring any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving creditors’ rights generally and any proceeding ancillary thereto and (C) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent with respect to the preparation, execution, delivery and review of any documents and instruments at any time delivered pursuant to Section 5.01(j)) and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and each Lender in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of the Loan Documents, whether in any action, suit or litigation, or any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Administrative Agent and each Lender with respect thereto), provided that the Loan Parties shall not be required to pay the costs and expenses of more than one counsel for the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, absent a conflict of interest (or in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel for all similarly conflicted Lenders), and any necessary or desirable local or foreign counsel (limited to tax, litigation and corporate counsel in each applicable jurisdiction or, in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional tax, litigation and corporate counsel in such jurisdiction for all similarly conflicted Lenders).
(b)Each Loan Party agrees to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of one counsel for the Indemnified Parties, absent a conflict of interest (or in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional counsel for all similarly conflicted Indemnified Parties), and any necessary or desirable local or foreign counsel (limited to tax, litigation and corporate counsel in each applicable jurisdiction or, in the case of a conflict of interest, one additional tax, litigation and corporate counsel in such jurisdiction for all similarly conflicted Indemnified Parties)) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) (i) the Facility, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated thereby or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on any property of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Action relating in any way to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, IN ALL CASES, WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTY, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (x) such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party’s officers, directors, employees or agents, (y) a material breach in bad faith of such Indemnified Party’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (z) a claim not involving an act or omission of any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries and that is brought by an Indemnified Party against another Indemnified Party (other than against an Arranger, a Bookrunner, a Documentation Agent, the Syndication Agent or the Administrative Agent in their capacities as such).  In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 9.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party, whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions


contemplated by the Loan Documents are consummated.  Each Loan Party also agrees not to assert any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Facility, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.  This Section 9.04(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes.
(c)To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under clauses (a) or (b) of this Section 9.04 to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof) or any Related Party of the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the Facility Exposure at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender), such payment to be made severally among them based on such Lenders’ Pro Rata Share of the Facility Exposure at such time (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof)any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), in connection with such capacity.  The obligations of the Lenders under this clause (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.02(i).
(d)If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in its sole discretion.
(e)Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties contained in Sections 2.10 and 2.12, Section 7.06 and this Section 9.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents.
(f)Reserved.
(g)No Indemnified Party referred to in Section 9.04(b) shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, except to the extent such damages are found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from (x) such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct or the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party’s officers, directors, employees or agents, (y) a material breach in bad faith of such Indemnified Party’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document or (z) a claim not involving an act or omission of any Loan Party or any of their respective Subsidiaries and that is brought by an Indemnified Party against another Indemnified Party (other than against an Arranger, a Bookrunner, a Documentation Agent, the Syndication Agent or the Administrative Agent in their capacities as such).
SECTION 9.05.Right of Set-off.  Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Advances or the Notes due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and otherwise apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or such Affiliate to or for


the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations may be unmatured.  The Administrative Agent and each Lender agrees promptly to notify the Borrower or such Loan Party after any such set-off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.  The rights of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective Affiliates under this Section 9.05 are in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) that the Administrative Agent, such Lender and their respective Affiliates may have.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Defaulting Lender exercises any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off will be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.21(a) and, pending such payment, will be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (y) the Defaulting Lender will provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

SECTION 9.06.Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower, each Guarantor named on the signature pages hereto and the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Initial Lender that such Initial Lender has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Guarantors named on the signature pages hereto and the Administrative Agent and each Lender and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders and any other attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall be null and void.
SECTION 9.07.Assignments and Participations; Replacement Notes  (a)(a)  Each Lender may (and, if demanded by the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.10(g) or 9.01(b) will) assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) [reserved], (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or a Fund Affiliate of any Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Commitments being assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such assignment (determined as of the Transfer Date) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or, solely with respect to assignments of Commitments made prior to the Closing Date, such other minimum amount to which the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall have consented in writing), (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (iv) no such assignments shall be permitted until the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Lenders that syndication of the Commitments hereunder has been completed, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, (v) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10(g) or 9.01(b) shall be an assignment of all rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement and (vi) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and, except if such assignment is being made by a Lender to an Affiliate or Fund Affiliate of such Lender, the Processing Fee; provided, however, that for each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10(g) or 9.01(b), the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent the Processing Fee; provided further that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive the Processing Fee in the case of any assignment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such assignment will be made by any Lender to any Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this sentence. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment will be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment make such additional payments to the


Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder becomes effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.07(a), then the assignee of such interest will be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(b)Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording in the Register, from and after the later of such Transfer Date or recording, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender hereunder and (ii) the Lender assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under Sections 2.10, 2.12, 7.06, 8.05 and 9.04 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto).
(c)By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Lender assignor thereunder and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties thereto and hereto as follows:  (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Lender makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender.
(d)The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and, with respect to Lenders, the Commitments of, and principal amount of (and stated interest on) of the Advances owing to, each Lender from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this


Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(e)Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower.  In the case of any assignment by a Lender, within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall, if requested by the applicable Lender, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes a new Note payable to such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding Advances purchased by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if any assigning Lender has retained any portion of the outstanding Advances, a new Note payable to such assigning Lender in an amount equal to the portion of such Advances retained by it hereunder.  Such new Note or Notes, if any, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto.
(f)Reserved.
(g)Reserved.
(h)Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than any natural person or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural person, or Loan Party or any of its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes (if any) held by it) without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,; provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitments) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except that any agreement with respect to such participation may provide that such participant shall have a right to approve such amendment, waiver or consent to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Advances or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, and (vi) if, at the time of such sale, such Lender was entitled to payments under Section 2.12(a) or (e) in respect of withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Indemnified Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future as a result of a change in law or other amounts otherwise includable in Indemnified Taxes) withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to such participant on such date, provided that such participant complies with the requirements of Section 2.12(g) as if it were a Lender, such participant agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.10(f) as if it were an assignee under this Section 9.07, and such participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.12(a) or (e) than such Lender would have been entitled to receive.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each participant and the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) of each participant’s interest in the Advances or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment,


loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(i)Any Lender may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such Lender by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided, however, that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information received by it from such Lender in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.12.
(j)In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment will be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Advances previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Advances and participations in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder becomes effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this Section 9.07(j), then the assignee of such interest will be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
(k)(i)(i)  If a Lender changes its name it shall, at its own costs and within seven (7) Business Days from the date of the name change, provide and deliver to the Administrative Agent an original or certified true copy of a legal opinion issued by the legal advisers to such Lender in the jurisdiction where such Lender is incorporated, addressed to the Administrative Agent (in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent):  (A) identifying the Lender which has changed its name, its new name, the date from which the change has taken effect; and (B) confirming that the Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents remain legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations even after the change of name.
(ii)If a Lender is involved in a corporate reorganization or reconstruction, it shall at its own costs and within seven (7) Business Days from the effective date of such corporate reorganization or reconstruction, provide and deliver to the Administrative Agent:  (A) an original or certified true copy of a legal opinion issued by the legal advisers to such Lender in each of the jurisdictions where such Lender is incorporated and where the Lender’s Lending Office is located; and (B) an original or certified true copy of a legal opinion issued by the legal advisers to such Lender in each of those jurisdictions governing the Loan Documents confirming that such Lender’s obligations under the Loan Documents remain legal, valid and binding obligations enforceable as against the surviving entity after the corporate reorganization or reconstruction.
(iii)If a Lender fails to provide and deliver to the Administrative Agent any of the legal opinions referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) above, it shall upon the request of the Administrative Agent, sign and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, transferring all its rights and obligations under the Loan Documents to the new entity.


(l)Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it, if any), including in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other central bank in accordance with applicable local laws or regulations.
(m)Upon notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent or any Lender of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Lender’s Note, Borrower will execute and deliver, in lieu of such original Note, a replacement promissory note, identical in form and substance to, and dated as of the same date as, the Note so lost, stolen or mutilated, subject to delivery by such Lender to the Borrower of an affidavit of lost note and indemnity in customary form.  Upon the execution and delivery of the replacement Note, all references herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to the lost, stolen or mutilated Note shall be deemed references to the replacement Note.
SECTION 9.08.Execution in Counterparts.  This Agreement and each other Loan Document may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto or thereto, as applicable, in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement or any other Loan Document by facsimile or by email (with the executed counterpart of the signature pages attached to the email in .pdf format or similar format) shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, as applicable.  Copies of originals, including copies delivered by facsimile, .pdf, or other electronic means, shall have the same import and effect as original counterparts and shall be valid, enforceable and binding for the purposes of this Agreement and each other Loan Document.  The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or electronic records, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent is under no obligation to accept an electronic signature in any form or in any format unless expressly agreed to by the Administrative Agent pursuant to procedures approved by it.  Without limitation of the foregoing, (a) to the extent the Administrative Agent has agreed to accept such electronic signature, the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on any such electronic signature purportedly given by or on behalf of any Loan Party or any other party hereto (or to any other Loan Document) without further verification and regardless of the appearance or form of such electronic signature and (b) upon the request of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any electronic signature shall be promptly followed by a manually executed counterpart.  Each Loan Party hereby waives (i) any argument, defense or right to contest the legal effect, validity or enforceability of this Agreement and/or any other Loan Document based solely on the lack of paper original copies of this Agreement and/or such other Loan Document and (ii) any claim against the Administrative Agent, each Lender for any liabilities arising solely from such Person’s reliance on or use of electronic signatures, including any liabilities arising as a result of the failure of the Loan Parties to use any available security measures in connection with the execution, delivery or transmission of any electronic signature.
SECTION 9.09.Severability.  In case one or more provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein shall not be affected or impaired thereby.
SECTION 9.10.Usury Not Intended.  It is the intent of the Borrower and each Lender in the execution and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury laws, including conflicts of law concepts, governing the Advances of each Lender


including such applicable laws of the State of New York and the United States of America from time to time in effect.  In furtherance thereof, the Lenders and the Borrower stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate and that for purposes hereof “interest” shall include the aggregate of all charges which constitute interest under such laws that are contracted for, taken, charged, received, reserved or paid under this Agreement; and in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, under any circumstances the aggregate amounts contracted for, taken, charged, received, reserved or paid on the Advances, include amounts which, by applicable law, are deemed interest which would exceed the Maximum Rate, then such excess shall be deemed to be a mistake and, each Lender receiving the same shall credit the same on the principal of the Obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents (or if such Obligations shall have been paid in full, refund said excess to the Borrower).  In the event that the Obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents are accelerated by reason of any Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest may never include more than the Maximum Rate and excess interest, if any, provided for in this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the principal of the Obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents (or, if such Obligations shall have been paid in full, refunded to the Borrower).  In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingencies exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Borrower and the Lenders shall to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law amortize, prorate, allocate and spread in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the Facility all amounts considered to be interest under applicable law at any time contracted for, taken, charged, received, reserved or paid in connection with the Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents.  The provisions of this Section shall control over all other provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which may be in apparent conflict herewith.

SECTION 9.11.WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  BORROWER, EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND EACH LENDER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE ADVANCES, OR THE ACTIONS OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.
SECTION 9.12.Confidentiality.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall disclose any Confidential Information to any Person without the prior written consent of the Operating Partnership, other than (a) to such Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s Affiliates, head office, branches and representative offices, and their officers, directors, employees, agents, advisors and other Related Parties (each, a “Recipient”) and between each other as such Recipient shall consider appropriate, and to actual or prospective Eligible Assignees and participants (including such Eligible Assignee or participant’s Affiliates, Related Funds and professional advisors), and then only on a confidential basis, (b) as required by any law, rule or regulation or judicial process, provided that, to the extent legally permissible and practicable, the Administrative Agent or Lender, as applicable, shall provide prior written notice of such disclosure to the Operating Partnership in order to permit the Operating Partnership to seek confidential treatment of such information, (c) as requested or required by any state, Federal or foreign authority or examiner regulating, or self-regulatory body having or claiming oversight over, such Lender, provided that, to the extent legally permissible and practicable, the Administrative Agent or Lender, as applicable, shall provide prior written notice of such disclosure to the Operating Partnership in order to permit the Operating Partnership to seek confidential treatment of such information, (d) to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information relating to the Loan Parties received by it from such Lender, (e) to any service provider of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, provided that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made pursuant to this clause (e) will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and shall have agreed in writing to keep such Confidential Information confidential, (f) to any Person that holds a security interest in all or any portion of any Lender’s


rights under this Agreement, provided that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made pursuant to this clause (f) will be informed of the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and shall (except with respect to any Applicable Governmental Authority) have agreed in writing to keep such Confidential Information confidential, (g) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (h) to the extent required for the purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense or a defense against a claim that the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, has breached its confidentiality obligations, (i) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section 9.12, to any actual or prospective party to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (j) to other Lenders, (k) is independently discovered or developed by a party hereto without utilizing any information received from the Borrower or violating the terms of this Section, (kl) to the extent such Confidential Information becomes publicly available other than by reason of disclosure by a Recipient in violation of any confidentiality obligations owing by such Recipient to the Borrower and its Affiliates (including those set forth in this Section 9.12), (lm) to the extent required by a potential or actual insurer or reinsurer in connection with providing insurance, reinsurance or credit risk mitigation coverage under which payments are to be made or may be made by reference to this Agreement, and (mn) with the prior written consent of the Borrower; and in each case the Borrower hereby consents to the disclosure by the Administrative Agent and any Lender of Confidential Information that is made in strict accordance with clauses (a) to (lm), and the disclosure of other information relating to the Borrower and the transactions hereunder that does not constitute Confidential Information.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement or any other document, the parties hereby agree that (x) each party (and each employee, representative, or other agent of such party) may each disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the United States tax treatment and United States tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to each party relating to such United States tax treatment and United States tax structure, (y) nothing in any Loan Document shall prevent disclosure of any confidential information or other matter to the extent that preventing that disclosure would otherwise cause any transaction contemplated by the Loan Documents, or any transaction carried out in connection with any transaction contemplated thereby, to become an arrangement described in Part II A 1 of Annex IV of Directive 2011/16/EU and (z) the Administrative Agent may disclose the identity of any Defaulting Lender to the other Lenders and the Borrower if requested by any Lender or the Borrower.  In acting as the Administrative Agent, Bank of America shall be regarded as acting through its agency division which shall be treated as a separate division from any of its other divisions or departments and, notwithstanding any of the Administrative Agent’s disclosure obligations hereunder, any information received by any other division or department of Bank of America may be treated as confidential and shall not be regarded as having been given to Bank of America’s agency division.  Each Recipient may disclose any Confidential Information pursuant to and subject to clauses (b) and (c) above.  For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein prohibits any individual from communicating or disclosing Confidential Information regarding suspected violations of laws, rules, or regulations to any Applicable Governmental Authority without any notification to any Person.  For the purposes of the Personal Data Protection Act (2012) of Singapore, each of the Loan Parties acknowledges that it has read and understood the Customer Circular relating to the Personal Data Protection Act (for Corporate and Institutional Customers) (the “Privacy Circular”), which is available at lendersupport@bofa.com or upon request, and which explains the purposes for which a Lender may collect, use, disclose and process (collectively, “process”) personal data of natural persons.  Each of the Loan Parties warrants that to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, it has provided notice to and obtained consent from relevant natural persons to allow the Lenders to process its personal data as described in the Privacy Circular as may be updated from time to time, prior to disclosure of such personal data to such Lender.  Each of the Loan Parties further warrants that any such consent has been granted by these natural persons.

SECTION 9.13.Patriot Act; Anti-Money Laundering Notification; Beneficial Ownership.

Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that (a) pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”) and other Anti-Corruption Laws and anti-


terrorism laws and regulations, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act and such other Anti-Corruption Laws and anti-terrorism laws and regulations and (b) pursuant to the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, it is required, to the extent that the Borrower qualifies as a “legal entity customer” under the Beneficial Ownership Regulation, to obtain a Beneficial Ownership Certification in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement.  The Parent Guarantor, the Operating Partnership and the Borrower shall, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to, provide, to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to assist the Administrative Agent or Lender in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act and other Anti-Corruption Laws and anti-terrorism laws and regulations including Sanctions and the Trading with the Enemy Act.

SECTION 9.14.Jurisdiction, Etc.  (a)(a)  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York County, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and each such party hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such Federal court.  Each such party further agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.  Except to the extent set forth in clause (c) below, nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in the courts of any jurisdiction.
(b)Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party in any New York State or Federal court.  Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
SECTION 9.15.Governing Law.  This Agreement (including, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 9.14) and the other Loan Documents, including but not limited to the validity, interpretation, construction, breach, enforcement or termination hereof and thereof, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York.
SECTION 9.16.Payments Set Aside.  To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is made to the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.  The obligations of the Lenders under clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 9.17.Reserved.  


SECTION 9.18.No Fiduciary Duties.  Each Loan Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Affiliate thereof, on the one hand, and such Loan Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates, on the other.  The Loan Parties agree that the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions.  Each Loan Party agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto.  Each of the Loan Parties acknowledges that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may have interests in, or may be providing or may in the future provide financial or other services to other parties with interests which a Loan Party may regard as conflicting with its interests and may possess information (whether or not material to the Loan Parties) other than as a result of (x) the Administrative Agent acting as administrative agent hereunder or (y) the Lenders acting as lenders hereunder, that the Administrative Agent or any such Lender may not be entitled to share with any Loan Party.  Without prejudice to the foregoing, each of the Loan Parties agrees that the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may (a) deal (whether for its own or its customers’ account) in, or advise on, securities of any Person, and (b) accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with other Persons in each case, as if the Administrative Agent were not the Administrative Agent and as if the Lenders were not Lenders, and without any duty to account therefor to the Loan Parties.  Each of the Loan Parties hereby irrevocably waives, in favor of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arrangers, any conflict of interest which may arise by virtue of the Administrative Agent, the Arrangers and/or the Lenders acting in various capacities under the Loan Documents or for other customers of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Lender as described in this Section 9.18.
SECTION 9.19.Reserved.  
SECTION 9.20.Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and
(b)the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.
SECTION 9.21.Acknowledgement Regarding Any Supported QFCs. To the extent that the Loan Documents provide support, through a guarantee or otherwise, for Guaranteed Hedge Agreements or any other agreement or instrument that is a QFC (such support, “QFC Credit Support” and each such QFC a


Supported QFC”), the parties acknowledge and agree as follows with respect to the resolution power of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation under the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (together with the regulations promulgated thereunder, the “U.S. Special Resolution Regimes”) in respect of such Supported QFC and QFC Credit Support (with the provisions below applicable notwithstanding that the Loan Documents and any Supported QFC may in fact be stated to be governed by the laws of the State of New York and/or of the United States or any other state of the United States):  

(a)In the event a Covered Entity that is party to a Supported QFC (each, a “Covered Party”) becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer of such Supported QFC and the benefit of such QFC Credit Support (and any interest and obligation in or under such Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support, and any rights in property securing such Supported QFC or such QFC Credit Support) from such Covered Party will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and such QFC Credit Support (and any such interest, obligation and rights in property) were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.  In the event a Covered Party or a BHC Act Affiliate of a Covered Party becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under the Loan Documents that might otherwise apply to such Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support that may be exercised against such Covered Party are permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if the Supported QFC and the Loan Documents were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.  Without limitation of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that rights and remedies of the parties with respect to a Defaulting Lender shall in no event affect the rights of any Covered Party with respect to a Supported QFC or any QFC Credit Support.
