Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Strategic Minority Investment Transaction Completed

On July 17, 2020, and pursuant to the letter agreement previously announced on July 13, 2020, Colony Capital, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”), together with Colony Capital Operating Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the Company’s operating company (“CCOC”), and certain of its subsidiaries, entered into a series of agreements with affiliates of Wafra, Inc., a Delaware corporation (collectively, “Wafra”), pursuant to which, among other things, Wafra made a minority investment (the “Equity Investment”) in Digital Colony Management Holdings, LLC, a newly formed Delaware limited liability company and subsidiary of the Company (the “Venture”), which operates the Company’s digital investment management business (“Digital Colony IM”), as described below. Following the receipt of certain post-closing regulatory approvals, the Equity Investment, along with the investment made pursuant to the Carry Investment Agreement (as defined below), will represent an approximate 31.5% interest (the “Interest Percentage”) in, and implies an $805 million total valuation of, Digital Colony IM. In connection with the Equity Investment, Wafra is entitled to participate in net management fees and performance fees generated by Digital Colony IM.

In addition, pursuant to the Carried Interest Participation Agreement (as defined below), Wafra will receive the Interest Percentage of net carried interest (i.e., after allocation of carried interest to the management team) (the “Carried Interest Participation Rights”) from funds in which it makes Sponsor Commitments (as defined below). In exchange for the Equity Investment, the Carried Interest Participation Rights and the Warrants (as described below), Wafra paid to the Company $253.6 million in total cash consideration at closing on July 17, 2020 and agreed to make an additional one-time payment of approximately $29.9 million if the run-rate EBITDA of Digital Colony IM as of December 31, 2020, is equal to or greater than $72.0 million, which would imply a $900 million Digital Colony IM valuation.

Concurrently with the Equity Investment, Wafra agreed to make limited partnership commitments (“Sponsor Commitments”) to current and future Digital Colony IM investment products. Wafra is expected to assume up to $150.0 million (including $60.0 million that was committed by Wafra on July 17, 2020) in Sponsor Commitments made or to be made by affiliates of the Company to the Company’s Digital Colony Partners fund and the next two anticipated Digital Colony vehicles. In addition, Wafra will participate in the Company’s future Sponsor Commitments on a pro rata basis with the Company, based on the Interest Percentage and subject to certain caps.

Further, in connection with the foregoing transactions, on July 17, 2020, the Company issued to Wafra Strategic Holdings LP, a Wafra affiliate (the “Warrantholder”), five warrants (each, a “Warrant,” and collectively, the “Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 5% (on a fully-diluted, post-transaction basis) of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Class A Common Shares”). Each Warrant entitles the Warrantholder to purchase up to 5,352,000 Class A Common Shares (subject to certain customary adjustment provisions as described therein), with staggered strike prices for each Warrant ($2.43, $3, $4, $5 and $6 per share, respectively) and are exercisable until July 17, 2026.

Pursuant to the transaction documents described herein, Wafra has customary minority rights and certain other structural protections designed to protect its interests, including:

1.
Wafra's economic participation in respect of Digital Colony IM encompasses (i) funds managed by the Company or Digital Colony that primarily invest in digital infrastructure, which would include any new fund strategies, (ii) the Company’s balance sheet investments in digital infrastructure in which Wafra elects to participate, (iii) any other business operated under the Digital Colony name or that is managed by the Venture, and (iv) any other Company investment management business for which the resources or assets of Digital Colony are utilized in a material manner. For purposes of clarity, certain investments are excluded from Digital Colony IM, including investments in Digital Colony vehicles held by the Company, Marc C. Ganzi, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, and Ben Jenkins, the Chairman and Chief Investment Officer of the Company’s digital segment, and other Digital Colony personnel.
2.
To further enhance alignment of interests with Digital Colony IM, on July 17, 2020, the Company entered into an amended and restated restrictive covenant agreement (each, an “A&R Restrictive Covenant Agreement”) with each of Messrs. Ganzi and Jenkins pursuant to which each of Messrs. Ganzi and Jenkins agreed to (x) enhanced non-solicitation provisions and (y) extend the term of existing non-competition agreements from one year to two years from the termination for cause or departure without good reason.





In addition, pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the Company and Wafra may establish a performance-based management incentive equity plan for the Venture, with costs of such plan (including any dilution of equity ownership in the Venture) to be borne ratably by the Company and Wafra. If established, Messrs. Ganzi and Jenkins are expected to be eligible to participate in such management incentive plan. In addition, the Company and Wafra have certain participation rights (up to 31.5%) in the event of a resignation without good reason or termination of employment for cause of either Messrs. Ganzi or Jenkins in any business competitive with the Digital Colony IM business that is created, owned or operated by either Messrs. Ganzi or Jenkins, within a certain period of time post-departure. On July 17, 2020, each of Messrs. Ganzi and Jenkins entered into an acknowledgment letter (each, an “Acknowledgment Letter”) with the Company, Wafra Subscriber and Wafra Participant (as defined below) for the purposes of granting such participation rights to the Company and Wafra.
3.
Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement (as defined below) and the Carried Interest Participation Agreement, Wafra has customary preemptive rights with respect to the issuance of debt/equity securities by the Venture or economic rights, a five-year lockup on the Equity Investment, certain additional transfer restrictions on the Equity Investment and the Carried Interest Participation Rights, subject to certain exceptions, and certain redemption rights in favor of Wafra. The redemption rights will be triggered upon the occurrence of certain events including key person or cause events under the governing documentation of certain Digital Colony investment vehicles and, for a limited period, upon Mr. Ganzi and Mr. Jenkins ceasing to fulfill certain time and attention commitments to the Digital Colony IM business. In addition, the Investor Rights Agreement and the Carried Interest Participation Agreement provide customary tag-along rights and drag-along rights with respect to the Equity Investment and the Carried Interest Participation Rights, which, if triggered upon the occurrence of certain change of control events, are subject to certain minimum return thresholds for Wafra.
4.
The Venture will be controlled by the Company and managed by a board of managers initially comprised of five managers designated by CCOC (which board, upon the receipt of certain post-closing regulatory approvals, will be increased to a total of six managers with the sixth manager designated by Wafra), subject to customary minority rights for Wafra in connection with certain major decisions.

Additionally, pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement and the Carried Interest Participation Agreement, under certain circumstances following such time as the Digital Colony IM business comprises 90% or more of the Company's assets, the Company agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Wafra to facilitate the conversion of Wafra's Interest Percentage into Class A Common Shares of the Company (or any applicable publicly traded parent company or vehicle). There can be no assurances that such conversion would occur or on what terms and conditions such conversion would occur, including whether such conversion, if it did occur in the future, would have any adverse impact on the Company, the Company’s stock price, governance and other matters.

Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the Equity Investment consists of a 9.9% common equity investment in the Venture and a preferred equity investment in the Venture that, upon the receipt of certain post-closing regulatory approvals, will automatically convert to common equity such that Wafra will own an aggregate of 31.5% of the common equity interests in the Venture. In the event that certain post-closing regulatory approvals are not received within 12 months following the consummation of the Equity Investment (which period may be extended for up to an additional three months under certain circumstances), the Venture has the right to redeem the entirety of the Equity Investment (in which case, the Carried Interest Participation Rights will terminate), and the Company has the right to cancel the Warrants. If such redemption right is exercised, Wafra will have a redemption right with respect to any Sponsor Commitments previously made.

Pursuant to the Investment Agreement, the Company and Wafra will cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts to obtain the approval of the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States with respect to the Equity Investment as promptly as practicable following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Investment Agreement, subject to certain limitations.

In addition to the Warrants, the A&R Restrictive Covenant Agreements and the Acknowledgment Letters, the transactions described above were completed pursuant to the terms of (i) an Investment Agreement, dated as of July 17, 2020 (the “Investment Agreement”), among the Company, CCOC, and W Catalina (S) LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of Wafra (the “Wafra Subscriber”), (ii) a Carry Investment Agreement, dated as of July 17, 2020 (the “Carry Investment Agreement”), among CCOC and W Catalina (C) LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and an affiliate of Wafra (the “Wafra Participant”), (iii) an Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of July 17, 2020 (the “Investor Rights Agreement”), by and among Wafra Subscriber, the Venture, Colony Capital





Digital Holdco, LLC, Colony DC Manager, LLC, CCOC and, for certain limited purposes, the Company, (iv) a Carried Interest Participation Agreement, dated as of July 17, 2020 (the “Carried Interest Participation Agreement”), by and among Colony DCP (CI) Bermuda, LP, Colony DCP (CI) GP, LLC, CCOC, the Company, Wafra Subscriber and Wafra Participant, and (v) certain related agreements.

The foregoing descriptions of each of the Investment Agreement, Carry Investment Agreement, Investor Rights Agreement, Carried Interest Participation Agreement, A&R Restrictive Covenant Agreement with Mr. Ganzi, Acknowledgment Letter with Mr. Ganzi and the Warrants is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the actual terms of such agreement, which are filed (or, in the case of the Warrants, a form of which is filed) as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6 and 4.1, respectively to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated by reference herein.

5.75% Exchangeable Senior Notes Offering Closed

On July 21, 2020, CCOC (as the “Issuer”) issued $300,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 5.75% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”), including $40,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Notes issued pursuant to the option granted to the initial purchasers to purchase additional Notes. The terms of the Notes are governed by an Indenture, dated as of July 21, 2020 (the “Indenture”), among the Issuer, the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. The Notes were sold in in the United States only to accredited investors pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and subsequently resold to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A.

The Issuer estimates that the net proceeds from this offering, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by the Issuer, will be approximately $290.3 million. The Issuer intends to use the net proceeds either to repurchase a portion of the Company’s 3.875% Convertible Senior Notes due 2021 (the “2021 Notes”) prior to maturity or to repay the 2021 Notes at maturity, and if any net proceeds remain, for general corporate purposes. As of July 23, 2020, the Company repurchased $284,436,000 aggregate principal amount of the 2021 Notes for a purchase price of $283,908,608.25, which amount includes accrued and unpaid interest.

The Issuer may redeem the Notes, at its option, in whole or in part, on any business day on or after July 21, 2023 if the last reported sale price of the Company’s Class A Common Shares has been at least 130% of the exchange price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Issuer provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The Notes will mature on July 15, 2025, unless earlier redeemed, repurchase or exchanged. The Notes are exchangeable at any time into Class A Common Shares at the applicable exchange rate, which will initially be equal to 434.7826 Class A Common Shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an exchange price of approximately $2.30 per Class A Common Share, representing a 25% exchange premium based on the closing price of the Class A Common Shares of $1.84 per share on July 16, 2020). The initial exchange rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Indenture, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2. The terms of the Indenture, including the form of the Notes attached hereto as Exhibit 4.3, are incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the issuance and sale of the Notes, on July 21, 2020, the Issuer and the Company also entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the initial purchasers of the Notes.
Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed that it will:

if the Company is a “well-known seasoned issuer,” or WKSI, on the 90th day after the original issuance of the Notes, file a shelf registration statement (which shall be an automatic shelf registration statement if the Company is then a WKSI) or a resale prospectus supplement to an effective shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on or about the first business day following such 90th day, covering resales of the Class A Common Shares, if any, issuable upon exchange of the Notes;





if the Company is not a WKSI on such 90th day, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the shelf registration statement or resale prospectus supplement to become effective within 180 days after the first date of original issuance of the Notes; and
use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the shelf registration statement or resale prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the 30th trading day immediately following the maturity date of the Notes (subject to extension in certain circumstances); and (ii) the date on which there are no longer any Notes or “restricted” shares (within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act) of Class A Common Shares issued upon exchange of Notes outstanding.

If the Issuer does not fulfill certain of its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the Notes, the Issuer will be required to pay additional interest to holders of the Notes. If a holder of the Notes exchanges some or all of its Notes for Class A Common Shares, such holder will not be entitled to additional interest with respect to Class A Common Shares. However, if a holder of the Notes exchanges its Notes when there exists a registration default with respect to Class A Common Shares, the Issuer will increase the applicable exchange rate by 3% instead of paying any additional interest on such Class A Common Shares.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Registration Rights Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.7. The terms of the Registration Rights Agreement are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03.    Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

The information in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the Indenture and the issuance of the Notes by the Issuer is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

Item 3.02    Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

The information in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to the Warrants is incorporated by reference into this Item 3.02. The Warrants were offered, issued and sold in a private placement pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. In connection with the offer, issuance and sale of the Warrants, the Warrantholder represented, among other things, that it is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act, and that it is not acquiring the Warrants with a view to the public resale or distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act.
 
Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” or “potential” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and 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 known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and contingencies, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, and may cause the Company’s actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Factors that might cause such a difference include, without limitation, the impact of COVID-19 on the U.S. and global economy, including the duration and extent of the impact of COVID-19 on the operating performance of the Company’s real estate businesses and investments, the Company’s ability to successfully transition to a digital focused strategy, the Company’s liquidity, whether the Company will realize the anticipated benefits of the Equity Investment, Sponsor Commitment and the transactions related thereto in full or at all, whether regulatory approvals sought pursuant to the Investment Agreement will be obtained within the time period contemplated or at all, the potential impact to the Company (including among others any potential impact to the Company’s liquidity position) if a redemption





obligation is triggered that requires the Company repurchase Wafra’s interest, whether the Company would be able to obtain capital necessary to fund a repurchase of Wafra’s interest if required, the ability of the Digital Colony IM to meet the performance criteria related to the potential further investment by Wafra, the Company’s ability to raise capital and the pace and fund raising of potential new digital vehicles, the magnitude of Sponsor Commitments that will be made by Wafra in current and future vehicles, the impact of dilution to holders of Class A Common Shares in connection with the Warrants, the Company's ability to continue to acquire the 2021 Notes, and other risks and uncertainties, including those detailed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2020, each under the heading “Risk Factors,” as such factors may be updated from time to time in our subsequent periodic filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). All forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s good faith beliefs, assumptions and expectations, but they are not guarantees of future performance. Additional information about these and other factors can be found in the Company’s reports filed from time to time with the SEC.

The Company cautions investors not to unduly rely on any forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K. The Company is under no duty to update any of these forward-looking statements after the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K, nor to conform prior statements to actual results or revised expectations, and the Company does not intend to do so.

1.Exercise.
(a)    Exercise Procedure. Subject to Section 2 below, the Registered Holder may, at its option, elect to exercise all or any portion of this Warrant at any time during the Exercise Period by surrendering this Warrant at the principal office of the Company, or at such other office or agency as the Company may designate, together with an Exercise Notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Exercise Notice”) duly executed by or on behalf of the Registered Holder, accompanied by payment in full, in lawful money of the United States, of the Purchase Price payable in respect of the number of Warrant Shares purchased upon such exercise (a “Cash Exercise”). Partial exercises of this Warrant resulting in purchases of a portion of the total number of Warrant Shares available hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding number of Warrant Shares purchasable hereunder in an amount equal to the applicable number of Warrant Shares purchased. In lieu of a Cash Exercise of this Warrant, the Registered Holder may elect (and if upon any exercise hereof a registration statement covering the issuance of the Warrant Shares is not effective and an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, is not available, then the Registered Holder shall be deemed to have elected) to receive upon exercise of this Warrant such number of Warrant Shares determined according to the following formula (a “Cashless Exercise”):
X
=
Y(A-B)
A
Where:
“X” refers to the number of Warrant Shares to be issued to the holder of this Warrant.
“Y” refers to the number of Warrant Shares the Registered Holder has elected to purchase under this Warrant.
“A” refers to the Fair Market Value (as determined in subsection 2(c) below) of one Warrant Share.
“B” refers to the Exercise Price (as adjusted hereunder to the date of such calculations).
(b)    Exercise Date. Each exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Business Day on which this Warrant, the completed and executed Exercise Notice, and the Purchase Price (either in cash with respect to a Cash Exercise or in the relinquishment of the right to acquire the appropriate number of shares of Common Stock with respect to a Cashless Exercise) shall have been surrendered to the Company as provided in subsection 1(a) above (the “Exercise Date”). At such time, the Person to whom any Warrant Shares shall be issuable upon such exercise as provided in subsection 1(c) below shall be deemed to have become the holder or holders of record of such Warrant Shares, except that, if the date of such surrender and payment is a date when the share transfer books of the Company are closed, such Person shall be deemed to have become the holder of such shares at the close of business on the next succeeding date on which the share transfer books are open.
(c)    Issuance of Warrant Shares; Delivery of New Warrants. By the date that is five (5) trading days after the latest of (A) the delivery to the Company of the Exercise Notice, and (B) payment of the aggregate Purchase Price in respect thereof (including by Cashless Exercise

(such date, the “Warrant Share Delivery Date”)), the Company shall deliver to the Registered Holder in book entry form, the Warrant Shares to which the Registered Holder is entitled, registered in such name or names as may be directed by the Registered Holder, and, if this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, the Company shall deliver to the Registered Holder a new warrant representing the Warrant Shares not so acquired, which new warrant shall in all other respects be identical to this Warrant.
(d)    Rescission Rights. If the Company fails to cause the Warrant Shares to which the Registered Holder is entitled pursuant to Section 1(c) to be transferred to the Registered Holder by the Warrant Share Delivery Date, then the Registered Holder shall have the right to rescind such exercise; provided, that in the event of any such rescinded exercise, the Registered Holder shall execute such documents and take such other actions as are necessary to promptly return to the Company any Warrant Shares that have been issued to the Registered Holder in connection with the rescinded exercise.
(e)    Charges, Taxes and Expenses. Issuance of Warrant Shares shall be made without charge to the Registered Holder for any issue or transfer tax or other incidental expense in respect of the issuance of such Warrant Shares, all of which taxes and expenses shall be paid by the Company, and such Warrant Shares shall be issued in the name of the Registered Holder or in such name or names as may be directed by the Registered Holder.
(f)    Closing of Books. The Company shall not close its stockholder books or records in any manner which prevents the timely exercise of this Warrant, pursuant to the terms hereof.
(g)    Exercise Limitations. The Company shall not effect any exercise of this Warrant or any of the other warrants issued by the Company to the Registered Holder and its Affiliates as of the date hereof (the “Other Warrants”), and a Registered Holder or any of its Affiliates shall not have the right to exercise any portion of this Warrant or any Other Warrant pursuant to Section 1 hereof or otherwise, to the extent that after giving effect to such issuance after exercise as set forth on the applicable Exercise Notice, the Registered Holder (together with the Registered Holder’s Affiliates, and any other Persons acting as a group together with the Registered Holder or any of the Registered Holder’s Affiliates), would beneficially own in excess of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation. For purposes of this Section 1(g), beneficial ownership shall be calculated in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, it being acknowledged and agreed by the Registered Holder that the Company makes no representation to the Registered Holder that such calculation is in compliance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act, and that the Registered Holder shall be solely responsible for any schedules required to be filed in accordance therewith. To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 1(g) applies, the determination of whether this Warrant or any Other Warrant is exercisable and of which portion of this Warrant or any Other Warrant is exercisable shall be the sole responsibility and in the sole discretion of the Registered Holder, and the submission of an Exercise Notice shall be deemed to be the Registered Holder’s determination of whether this Warrant or any Other Warrant is exercisable and of which portion of this Warrant or any Other Warrant is exercisable, in each case subject to the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such

-3-

LA_LAN01:362826.12



determination. In addition, a determination as to any group status as contemplated above shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. For purposes of this Section 1(g), in determining the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Registered Holder may rely on the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock as reflected in (A) the Company’s most recent periodic or annual report filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, as the case may be, (B) a more recent public announcement by the Company or (C) a more recent written notice by the Company setting forth the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding. Upon the written request of a Registered Holder, the Company shall within three (3) trading days confirm in writing (which may be by email) to the Registered Holder the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. The Registered Holder, upon not less than 61 days’ prior written notice to the Company, may (a) increase or decrease the Beneficial Ownership Limitation provisions of this Section 1(g) or (b) terminate the effect of this paragraph and render its provisions null and void. Any such increase, decrease or termination shall not be effective until the 61st day after such notice is delivered to the Company. The provisions of this paragraph shall be construed and implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this Section 1(g), to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) to the extent it may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Beneficial Ownership Limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such limitation. The limitations contained in this paragraph shall apply to a successor holder of this Warrant. This paragraph shall not apply to the Registered Holder (or any successor) and shall cease to have any force or effect in the event of a Deferred Redemption under the DCMH Investor Rights Agreement.
(h)    Notice for Certain Actions. During the Exercise Period and prior to the Registered Holder’s exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall, prior to (i) declaring or making any dividend or other distribution of its assets (or rights to acquire its assets) to holders of shares of Common Stock, by way of return of capital or otherwise (including any distribution of cash, stock or other securities, property or options by way of a dividend, spin off, reclassification, corporate rearrangement, scheme of arrangement or other similar transaction) that is inconsistent with past practice or otherwise outside of the ordinary course (an “Extraordinary Distribution”), or (ii) granting, issuing or selling or offering to grant, issue, or sell any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to all or substantially all of the holders of Common Stock (“Rights Offering”), in each case, provide the Registered Holder with written notice of such Extraordinary Distribution or Rights Offering at least ten (10) days prior to the record date for such Extraordinary Distribution or Rights Offering, which notice shall include the material terms of such Extraordinary Distribution or Rights Offering.
2.    Adjustments.
(a)    Adjustment for Stock Splits and Combinations. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the date on which this Warrant was first issued (or, if this Warrant was issued upon partial exercise of, or in replacement of, another warrant of like tenor, then the date on which such original warrant was first issued) (the “Original Issue Date”) effect a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock or a distribution or dividend in respect of the Common Stock payable in shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before that subdivision or dividend, as applicable, shall be proportionately

-4-

LA_LAN01:362826.12



decreased and the number of Warrant Shares shall be proportionately increased. If the Company shall at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date combine the outstanding shares of Common Stock, the Purchase Price then in effect immediately before the combination shall be proportionately increased and the number of Warrant Shares shall be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this paragraph shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
(b)    Adjustment for Reorganizations, Mergers, etc. In case at any time or from time to time during the Exercise Period and prior to the Registered Holder’s exercise of this Warrant the Company, in one or more related transactions, (A) effects a reclassification or recapitalization of its Common Stock, (B) directly or indirectly effects a merger or consolidation with or into any other Person, or (C) transfers all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person under any plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company (each of (A) through (C), a “Fundamental Transaction”), then, in each case, effective upon the occurrence of any such event, the Registered Holder’s right to receive Warrant Shares upon subsequent exercise of this Warrant shall be converted into the right to receive the other securities, cash, and/or property that the Warrant Shares issuable (calculated as of the effective time of such event) upon exercise of this Warrant immediately prior to such event would have been entitled to receive upon consummation of such event (the “Alternate Consideration”). For purposes of any such exercise, the determination of the Exercise Price shall be appropriately adjusted to apply to such Alternate Consideration based on the amount of Alternate Consideration issuable in respect of one Warrant Share in such Fundamental Transaction, and the Company shall apportion the Exercise Price among the Alternate Consideration in a manner reflecting the relative value of any different components of the Alternate Consideration. If holders of shares of Common Stock are given any choice as to the amount or kind of securities, cash or property to be received in a Fundamental Transaction, then the Registered Holder shall be given the same choice as to the Alternate Consideration it receives upon any exercise of this Warrant in connection with such Fundamental Transaction. To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, the Company, any successor to the Company or any surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction, as the case may be, shall make lawful provision to establish such rights, to issue such Warrants, to execute such agreements, and to provide for such adjustments that, for events from and after such Fundamental Transaction, shall be as nearly equivalent as possible to the rights and adjustments provided for herein. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 2(b).
(c)    Fair Market Value. The “Fair Market Value” per share of Common Stock shall, as of any date, be equal to the VWAP per share of the Common Stock on the trading day immediately preceding such date. All such determinations shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock combination, recapitalization or other similar transaction during the applicable period.
(d)    Calculations. All calculations under this Section 2 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be. For purposes of this Section 2, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding treasury shares, if any) issued and outstanding.

-5-

LA_LAN01:362826.12



(e)    Statement Regarding Adjustments. Whenever the Purchase Price or the Warrant Shares into which this Warrant is exercisable shall be adjusted as provided in this Section 2, the Company shall prepare a statement showing in reasonable detail the facts requiring such adjustment and the Purchase Price that shall be in effect and the Warrant Shares into which this Warrant shall be exercisable after such adjustment, and cause a copy of such statement to be delivered to the Registered Holder as promptly as reasonably practicable.
3.    No Fractional Shares. The Company shall not be required upon the exercise of this Warrant to issue any fractional shares of Common Stock. In lieu of any fractional share to which the Registered Holder would otherwise be entitled, the fractional Warrant Shares shall be rounded up to the next whole Warrant Share and the Registered Holder shall be entitled to receive such rounded up number of Warrant Shares.
4.    Transfers, Etc.
(a)    Transferability. Subject to applicable securities laws, this Warrant and all rights associated herewith (including registration rights) are transferable, in whole or in part, upon surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company or its designated agent, together with a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II duly executed by the Registered Holder or its agent or attorney and funds sufficient to pay any transfer taxes payable upon the making of such transfer. Upon such surrender and, if required, such payment, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in the name of the assignee or assignees, as applicable, and in the denomination or denominations specified in such instrument of assignment, and shall issue to the assignor a new Warrant evidencing the portion of this Warrant not so assigned, and this Warrant shall promptly be cancelled. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Warrant, if properly assigned in accordance herewith (i.e., pursuant to a written assignment of this Warrant substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II duly executed by the Registered Holder or its agent or attorney and upon payment of any applicable transfer taxes), may be exercised by a new holder for the purchase of Warrant Shares without having a new Warrant issued.
(b)    New Warrants. This Warrant may be divided or combined with other Warrants upon presentation hereof at the aforesaid office of the Company, together with a written notice specifying the names and denominations in which new Warrants are to be issued, signed by the Registered Holder or its agent or attorney. Subject to compliance with Section 4(a), as to any transfer which may be involved in such division or combination, the Company shall execute and deliver a new Warrant or Warrants in exchange for the Warrant or Warrants to be divided or combined in accordance with such notice. All Warrants issued on transfers or exchanges shall be dated the initial issuance date of this Warrant and shall be identical with this Warrant except as to the number of Warrant Shares issuable pursuant thereto.
(c)    Warrant Register. The Company shall register this Warrant, upon records to be maintained by the Company for that purpose, in the name of the record Registered Holder hereof from time to time. The Company may deem and treat the Registered Holder of this Warrant as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of any exercise hereof or any distribution to the Registered Holder, and for all other purposes, absent actual notice to the contrary.

-6-

LA_LAN01:362826.12



(d)    Any certificate that may be issued representing Warrant Shares shall bear a legend substantially in the following form:
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”), AS AMENDED, OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER THE SECURITIES NOR ANY INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE OFFERED, SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, EVIDENCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH DISPOSITION WILL NOT REQUIRE REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL, IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER AND FROM COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER, TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS EXEMPT FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE ACT
The foregoing legend shall be removed from any certificates representing any Warrant Shares, at the request of the holder thereof, following or in connection with any sale of such Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (and the holder thereof has submitted a written request for removal of the legend indicating that the holder has complied or is complying with the applicable provisions of Rule 144) or at such time as the Warrant Shares are sold or transferred in accordance with the requirements of an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing and for the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have no obligation to issue any physical stock certificates in respect of any Warrant Shares (provided, that any book entry interests shall bear any required restrictive legends).
5.    Representations and Warranties of Registered Holder. The Registered Holder hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:
(a)    No Registration. The Registered Holder understands that the Securities have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act, the availability of which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Registered Holder’s representations as expressed herein or otherwise made pursuant hereto.
(b)    Purchase for Own Account. The Securities are not being and will not be acquired with a view to the public resale or distribution thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the Registered Holder has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the Securities in a manner that would require registration under the Securities Act.
(c)    Investment Experience. The Registered Holder (i) has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters so that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Company and protecting its own interests in connection therewith and/or (ii) has a preexisting personal or business relationship with the Company and certain of its officers, directors or controlling Persons of a nature and duration that enables such Registered Holder to be

-7-

LA_LAN01:362826.12



aware of the character, business acumen and financial circumstances of the Company and such persons.
(d)    Disclosure of Information. The Registered Holder has received or has had full access to all the information it considers necessary or appropriate to make an informed investment decision with respect to the Securities. The Registered Holder further has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from the Company regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and to obtain additional information necessary to verify any information furnished to Registered Holder or to which Registered Holder had access.
(e)    Accredited Investor Status. The Registered Holder is familiar with the definition of, and qualifies as, an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act.
(f)    Restricted Securities. The Registered Holder understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and Rule 144 promulgated thereunder inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering, and that under the Securities Act and applicable regulations thereunder such securities may be resold without registration under the Securities Act only in certain limited circumstances.
(g)    Legal Counsel. The Registered Holder has had the opportunity to review this Warrant, the exhibits attached hereto and the transactions contemplated by this Warrant with its own legal counsel. The Registered Holder is not relying on any statements or representations of the Company or its agents for legal advice with respect to this investment or the transactions contemplated by this Warrant.
6.    Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to the Registered Holder that:
(a)    Due Organization. The Company is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland.
(b)    Authorization; Non-Contravention. The Company has the requisite power and authority to enter into this Warrant and the transactions contemplated hereby and to carry out its obligations hereunder. This Warrant has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid and binding agreement enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except to the extent that enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors rights generally or by general equitable principles. Neither the execution and delivery of this Warrant, the consummation of the transactions and agreements contemplated hereby, nor compliance with the terms, conditions or provisions of this Warrant, will be a violation of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the Charter or the Company’s bylaws.

LA_LAN01:362826.12



7.    Reservation of Stock; Noncircumvention. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery upon the exercise of this Warrant, such number of shares of Common Stock as from time to time shall be issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant. The Company further covenants that its issuance of this Warrant shall constitute full authority to its officers who are charged with the duty of executing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary Warrant Shares upon the exercise of the purchase rights under this Warrant. The Company shall take all such commercially reasonable action as may be necessary to assure that such Warrant Shares may be issued as provided herein without violation of any applicable law or regulation, or of any requirements of the Trading Market upon which the Common Stock may be listed.

Except and to the extent as waived or consented to by the Registered Holder in writing, the Company shall not, by amending its certificate of incorporation or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Warrant to be observed or performed by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all such terms and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effect such terms. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall (i) not increase the par value of any Warrant Shares above the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such increase in par value, (ii) take all such action as may be necessary in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and nonassessable Warrant Shares upon the exercise of this Warrant, and (iii) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain all such authorizations, exemptions or consents from any public regulatory body having jurisdiction thereof as may be necessary to enable the Company to perform its obligations under this Warrant.
8.    Replacement of Warrants. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and (in the case of loss, theft or destruction) upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Company (with surety if reasonably required in an amount reasonably satisfactory to the Company), or (in the case of mutilation) upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company shall issue, in lieu thereof, a new warrant of like tenor.
9.    Cancellation. In the event that DCMH exercises and consummates the CFIUS Redemption Right, then, upon the receipt of the CFIUS Redemption Amount by DCMH, this Warrant shall be cancelled and terminated and shall forthwith become void and the Company shall have no subsequent obligation to issue, and the Registered Holder shall have no subsequent right to acquire, any Warrant Shares pursuant to this Warrant.

14.    Amendment or Waiver. Any term of this Warrant may be amended or waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with the written consent of the Company and the Registered Holder. No course of dealing or any delay or failure to exercise any right hereunder on the part of a Registered Holder shall operate as a waiver of such right or otherwise prejudice such Registered Holder’s rights, powers or remedies.
15.    Construction and Interpretation. The section headings in this Warrant are for the convenience of the parties and in no way alter, modify, amend, limit or restrict the contractual obligations of the parties. When a reference is made in this Warrant to an “exercise”, such reference shall be with respect to a Cash Exercise or a Cashless Exercise, as applicable. When a reference is made in this Warrant to Sections, or Exhibits, such reference shall be to a Section of or Exhibit to this Warrant unless otherwise indicated.

LA_LAN01:362826.12



Warrant refer to calendar days. If any period expires on a day which is not a Business Day or any event or condition is required by the terms of this Warrant to occur or be fulfilled on a day which is not a Business Day, such period shall expire or such event or condition shall occur or be fulfilled, as the case may be, on the next succeeding Business Day. If any event or condition is required by the terms of this Warrant to occur or be fulfilled upon a set number of Business Days, and during such period banks in New York, NY are closed for business due to government Order, the number of business days shall not toll during the period in which banks are closed, but will immediately begin to toll once the government restrictions has been lifted. Any action required to be taken “within” a specified time period following the occurrence of an event shall be required to be taken by no later than 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the last day of such time period, which shall be calculated starting with the day immediately following the date of the event. The parties have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Warrant. In the event any ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Warrant shall be construed as if drafted jointly by all parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provision of this Warrant. All references to “Dollars” or “$” shall mean U.S. Dollars unless otherwise specified.
16.    Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Warrant shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Maryland (without reference to the conflicts of law provisions thereof), and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York located in the borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, or if such court does not have jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, shall have exclusive jurisdiction over matters arising out of this Warrant.
17.    Counterparts/Facsimile. This Warrant may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together constitute one and the same instrument.
18.    Limitation of Liability. No provision hereof, in the absence of any affirmative action by the Registered Holder to exercise this Warrant to purchase Warrant Shares, and no enumeration herein of the rights or privileges of the Registered Holder, shall give rise to any liability of the Registered Holder for the purchase price of any Common Stock or as a stockholder of the Company, whether such liability is asserted by the Company or by creditors of the Company.
19.    Remedies. The Company and the Registered Holder each agree that irreparable damage may occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Warrant were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Company and the Registered Holder each agree that, in addition to any other remedies, the Company and the Registered Holder, as the case may be, shall be entitled to seek to enforce the terms of this Warrant by a decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy. Each of the Company and the Registered Holder hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. Each of the Company and the Registered Holder further agrees that neither the Company nor the Registered Holder shall oppose the granting of an injunction or specific performance as provided herein on the basis that the other party hereto has an adequate remedy

-11-

LA_LAN01:362826.12



at law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall execute and deliver to the Trustee or such authenticating agent Physical Notes (other than any Global Note) and thereupon any or all temporary Notes (other


19




than any Global Note) may be surrendered in exchange therefor, at each office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02 and the Trustee or such authenticating agent shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Notes an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Notes.

The Company in issuing the Notes may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in all notices issued to Holders as a convenience to such Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or on such notice and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such notices shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.
Section 2.10.    Additional Notes; Repurchases.

Prior to the issuance of any such additional Notes, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee a Company Order, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel to cover such matters, in addition to those required by Section 17.05, as the Trustee shall reasonably request. In addition, the Company may, to the extent permitted by law, and directly or indirectly (regardless of whether such Notes are surrendered to the Company), repurchase Notes in the open market or otherwise, whether by the Company or its Subsidiaries or through a private or public tender or exchange offer or through counterparties pursuant to private agreements, including by cash-settled swaps or other cash-settled derivatives. The Company shall cause any Notes so repurchased (other than Notes repurchased pursuant to cash-settled swaps or other derivatives) to be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation in accordance with Section 2.08.
Section 2.11.    Ranking. The obligations of the Company arising under or in connection with this Indenture and every outstanding Note issued under this Indenture from time to time constitute and shall constitute a general unsecured senior obligation of the Company, ranking equally


20




with existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company and ranking senior in right of payment to any existing and future indebtedness of the Company that is expressly made subordinate to the Notes by the terms of such indebtedness.

request of the Company, be repaid to it or paid to the Trustee, and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such monies and shares of Common Stock.

PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY AND/OR THE REIT
Section 4.01.    Payment of Principal and Interest.

Section 4.02.    Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will maintain in the continental United States an office or agency where the Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer of Notes or exchange of Notes for other Notes or for presentation for payment or repurchase (“Paying Agent”) or for exchange in accordance with Article 14 (“Exchange Agent”) and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency not designated or appointed by the Trustee. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York.
The Company may also from time to time designate as co-Note Registrars one or more other offices or agencies where the Notes may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the continental United States for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. The terms “Paying Agent” and “Exchange Agent” include any such additional or other offices or agencies, as applicable.
The Company hereby initially designates the Trustee as the Paying Agent, Note Registrar, Custodian and Exchange Agent and the Corporate Trust Office as the office or agency in the continental United States where Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer of Notes or


22




exchange of Notes for other Notes or for presentation for payment or repurchase or for exchange in accordance with Article 14.
Section 4.03.    Appointments to Fill Vacancies in Trustee’s Office. The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.09, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder.
Section 4.04.    Provisions as to Paying Agent. (a) If the Company shall appoint a Paying Agent other than the Trustee, the Company will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 4.04:
(i)    that it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes;
(ii)    that it will give the Trustee prompt notice of any failure by the Company to make any payment of the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes when the same shall be due and payable; and
(iii)    that at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon request of the Trustee, it will forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust.
The Company shall, on or before each due date of the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) of, or accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes, deposit with the Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) or accrued and unpaid interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action; provided that if such deposit is made on the due date, such deposit must be received by the Paying Agent by 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date.
(b)    If the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) of, and accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes a sum sufficient to pay such principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) and accrued and unpaid interest so becoming due and will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any failure to take such action and of any failure by the Company to make any payment of the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) of, or accrued and unpaid interest on, the Notes when the same shall become due and payable.
(c)    Anything in this Section 4.04 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, or for any other reason, pay, cause to be paid or deliver to the Trustee all sums or amounts held in trust by the Company or any Paying Agent hereunder as required by this Section 4.04, such sums or amounts


23




to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained and upon such payment or delivery by the Company or any Paying Agent to the Trustee, the Company or such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability but only with respect to such sums or amounts.
(d)    Any money and shares of Common Stock deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) of, accrued and unpaid interest on and the consideration due upon exchange of any Note and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable), interest or consideration due upon exchange has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on request of the Company contained in an Officers’ Certificate, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money and shares of Common Stock, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that prior to the Trustee or such Paying Agent making any such repayment, the Company shall publish in a newspaper of general circulation in New York City or publish such information on the Company’s website or through such other public medium as the Company deems appropriate at that time, a notice that such money and shares of Common Stock remain unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money and shares of Common Stock then remaining will be repaid or delivered to the Company.
Section 4.05.    Existence. Subject to Article 11, each of the Company and the REIT shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence.
Section 4.06.    Rule 144A Information Requirement and Annual Reports. (a) If so required by Rule 144A, the Company and the REIT shall promptly furnish to the Holders, beneficial owners and prospective purchasers of the Notes and of any shares of Common Stock delivered upon exchange of the Notes, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act to facilitate the resale of the Notes and such shares of Common Stock pursuant to Rule 144A.
(b)    The Company shall file with the Trustee, within 15 days after the same are required to be filed with the Commission, copies of any documents or reports that the REIT is required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (giving effect to any grace period provided by Rule 12b-25 under the Exchange Act). Any such document or report that the REIT files with the Commission via the Commission’s EDGAR system shall be deemed to be filed with the Trustee for purposes of this Section 4.06(b) at the time such documents are filed via the EDGAR system; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever to determine if such filing has occurred.
(c)    Delivery of the reports and documents described in subsection (b) above to the Trustee is for informational purposes only, and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to conclusively rely on an Officers’ Certificate).


24




Section 4.07.    Stay, Extension and Usury Laws. Each of the Company and the REIT covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law or other law that would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or interest on the Notes as contemplated herein, wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, or that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and each of the Company and the REIT (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
Section 4.08.    Compliance Certificate; Statements as to Defaults. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company (beginning with the fiscal year ending on December 31, 2020) an Officers’ Certificate stating (1) that a review has been conducted of the activities of the Company, its Subsidiaries and of the REIT and their respective performance under this Indenture and (2) that the Company and the REIT have fulfilled all obligations under this Indenture (such compliance to be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under this Indenture) or specifying any Event of Default and the nature thereof.
In addition, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 30 days after an Officer of the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the details of such Default or Event of Default, its status and the action that the Company is taking or proposing to take in respect thereof.
Section 4.09.    Additional Interest Notice. If Additional Interest is payable by the Company pursuant to Section 6.03 or the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to that effect stating (a) the amount of such Additional Interest that is payable and (b) the date on which such interest is payable. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives at the Corporate Trust Office such a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that no such Additional Interest is payable. If the Company has paid Additional Interest directly to the Persons entitled to them, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the particulars of such payment.
Section 4.10.    Covenant to Take Certain Actions. Before taking any action which would cause an adjustment to the Exchange Rate such that the Exchange Price per share of Common Stock issuable upon exchange of the Notes would be less than the par value of the Common Stock, the REIT shall take all corporate actions that may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary so it may validly and legally issue shares of Common Stock at such adjusted Exchange Rate.
ARTICLE 5
LISTS OF HOLDERS AND REPORTS BY THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE
Section 5.01.    Lists of Holders.

(b)    If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(j) or Section 6.01(k) with respect to the Company (and not solely with respect to a Significant Subsidiary of the Company) occurs and is continuing, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Notes shall be immediately due and payable.
(c)    If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(l) occurs and is continuing, the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all Notes shall automatically become due and payable on the 35th Business Day following such Event of Default. On or before the 20th calendar day after the occurrence of such an Event of Default, the Company shall provide to all Holders, the Trustee and the Paying Agent (in the case of any Paying Agent other than the Trustee) notice (the “Special Event of Default Notice”) of the occurrence of such Event of Default and of the resulting automatic acceleration. Such notice shall be sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, or, in the case of any Global Notes, in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary for providing notices. Simultaneously with providing such Special Event of Default Notice, the Company shall publish a press release containing this information or publish such information on the Company’s website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time.
Each Special Event of Default Notice shall specify:
(i)    the events causing such Event of Default;

Section 6.03.    Additional Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or in the Notes to the contrary, to the extent the Company elects, the sole remedy for an Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b) (a “Reporting Event of Default”) shall after the occurrence of such an Event of Default consist exclusively of the right to receive additional interest (the “Additional Interest”) on the Notes at a rate equal to (i) 0.25% per annum of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding the first 90 days of the 180-day period on which such Event of Default is continuing beginning on, and including, the date on which such an Event of Default first occurs and (ii) 0.50% per annum of the Outstanding principal amount of the Notes for the last 90 days of such 180-day period as long as such Event of


28




Default is continuing beginning on and including the 91st day after such Event of Default. If the Company so elects, such Additional Interest shall be payable in the same manner and on the same dates as the stated interest payable on the Notes and shall be in addition to, not in lieu of, any liquidated damages payable pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement; provided that in no event shall Additional Interest pursuant to this Section 6.03 and liquidated damages pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement accrue at a rate, in the aggregate, in excess of 0.50% per annum regardless of the number of events or circumstances giving rise to the requirement to pay such Additional Interest pursuant to this Section 6.03 and/or liquidated damages pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement. On the 181st day after such Event of Default (if the Event of Default relating to the Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b) is not cured or waived prior to such 181st day), the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02. In the event the Company does not elect to pay Additional Interest following an Event of Default in accordance with this Section 6.03 or the Company elects to make such payment but does not pay the Additional Interest when due, the Notes shall be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02.
In order to elect to pay the Additional Interest as the sole remedy during the first 180 days after the occurrence of a Reporting Event of Default, the Company must notify all Holders of Notes, the Trustee and the Paying Agent of such election prior to the beginning of such 180-day period. Upon the Company’s failure to timely give such notice, the Notes will be immediately subject to acceleration as provided in Section 6.02.
Section 6.04.    Payments of Notes on Default; Suit Therefor. If an Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 6.01 shall have occurred, the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, if any, with interest on any overdue principal and interest, if any, at the rate borne by the Notes at such time, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06. If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Notes, wherever situated. Until such demand by the Trustee, the Company may pay the principal and interest, if any, on the Notes to the registered Holders, whether or not the Notes are overdue.
In the event there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Company or any other obligor on the Notes under Title 11 of the United States Code, or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken possession of the Company or such other obligor, the property of the Company or such other obligor, or in the event of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Company or such other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or


29




otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 6.04, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, in respect of the Notes, and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents and to take such other actions as it may deem necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor on the Notes, its or their creditors, or its or their property, and to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute the same after the deduction of any amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator, custodian or similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make such payments to the Trustee, as administrative expenses, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements, including counsel fees, and including any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06, incurred by it up to the date of such distribution. To the extent that such payment of reasonable compensation, expenses, advances and disbursements out of the estate in any such proceedings shall be denied for any reason, payment of the same shall be secured by a lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all distributions, dividends, monies, securities and other property that the Holders of the Notes may be entitled to receive in such proceedings, whether in liquidation or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting such Holder or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.
All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes, or the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and its counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes.
In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and in any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Notes, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of the Notes parties to any such proceedings.
In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of any waiver pursuant to Section 6.09 or any rescission and annulment pursuant to Section 6.02 or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the REIT, the Holders and the Trustee shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of

First, to the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06;
Second, in case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of interest on, and any cash due upon exchange of, the Notes in default in the order of the date due of the payments of such interest and cash due upon exchange, as the case may be, with interest (to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) upon such overdue payments at the rate borne by the Notes at such time, such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto;
Third, in case the principal of the outstanding Notes shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, and be unpaid to the payment of the whole amount (including, if applicable, the payment of the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Purchase Price and any cash due upon exchange) then owing and unpaid upon the Notes for principal and interest, if any, with interest on the overdue principal and, to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee, upon overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by the Notes at such time, and in case such monies shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amounts so due and unpaid upon the Notes, then to the payment of such principal (including, if applicable, the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Purchase Price and the cash due upon exchange) and interest without preference or priority of principal over interest, or of interest over principal or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Note over any other Note, ratably to the aggregate of such principal (including, if applicable, the Redemption Price the Fundamental Change Purchase Price and any cash due upon exchange) and accrued and unpaid interest; and
Fourth, to the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company.
Section 6.06.    Proceedings by Holders. Except to enforce the right to receive payment of principal (including, if applicable, the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Purchase Price) or interest when due, or the right to receive payment or delivery of the consideration due upon exchange, no Holder of any Note shall have any right by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or other similar official, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

31




(c)    such Holder or Holders shall have offered to the Trustee such indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it against any costs, liabilities or expenses to be incurred in compliance with such request;
(d)    the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; and
(e)    during such 60-day period, no direction that is inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee by the Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding pursuant to Section 6.09,
it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Note with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder (it being understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holder), or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all Holders (except as otherwise provided herein). For the protection and enforcement of this Section 6.06, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture and any provision of any Note, the right of any Holder to receive payment or delivery, as the case may be, of (x) the principal (including the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, the Redemption Price, if applicable) of, (y) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, and (z) the consideration due upon exchange of, such Note, on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for in such Note or in this Indenture, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery, as the case may be, on or after such respective dates against the Company shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.
Section 6.07.    Proceedings by Trustee.

Section 6.08.    Remedies Cumulative and Continuing. Except as provided in the last paragraph of Section 2.06, all powers and remedies given by this Article 6 to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Notes to exercise any right or power accruing upon any continuing Default or continuing Event of


32




Default shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default or any acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.06, every power and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders.
Section 6.09.    Direction of Proceedings and Waiver of Defaults by Majority of Holders. The Holders of a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04 shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Notes; provided, however, that (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and (b) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. The Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that it determines in good faith is unduly prejudicial to the rights of any other Holder or that would involve the Trustee in personal liability. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04 may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences except (i) a default in the payment of accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, or the principal (including the Redemption Price or the Fundamental Change Purchase Price) of, the Notes when due that has not been cured, (ii) a failure by the Company to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the consideration due upon exchange of the Notes or (iii) a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 10 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected. Upon any such waiver, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any Default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 6.09, said Default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Notes and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 6.10.    Notice of Defaults. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after a Responsible Officer has received written notice of the occurrence and continuance of a Default, send to all Holders as the names and addresses of such Holders appear upon the Note Register, notice of all such Defaults known to a Responsible Officer, unless such Defaults shall have been cured or waived before the giving of such notice; provided that, except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable), or accrued and unpaid interest on, any of the Notes or a Default in the payment or delivery of the consideration due upon exchange, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders.
Section 6.11.    Undertaking to Pay Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may, in its discretion, require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or


33




in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided that the provisions of this Section 6.11 (to the extent permitted by law) shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.04, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on any Note (including, but not limited to, the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to the Notes being repurchased as provided in this Indenture) on or after the due date expressed or provided for in such Note or to any suit for the enforcement of the right to exchange any Note in accordance with the provisions of Article 14.

Section 7.06.    Compensation and Expenses of Trustee.

Section 7.08.    Eligibility of Trustee. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.08, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.08, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article 7.

(ii)    the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,


38




then, in either case, the Company may by a Board Resolution remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 6.11, any Holder who has been a bona fide holder of a Note or Notes for at least six months may, on behalf of himself or herself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.
(c)    The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, as determined in accordance with Section 8.04, may at any time remove the Trustee and nominate a successor trustee that shall be deemed appointed as successor trustee unless within 10 days after notice to the Company of such nomination the Company objects thereto, in which case the Trustee so removed or any Holder, upon the terms and conditions and otherwise as in Section 7.09(a) provided, may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for an appointment of a successor trustee.
(d)    Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 7.09 shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.10.
Section 7.10.    Acceptance by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.09 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a senior claim to which the Notes are hereby made subordinate on all money or property held or collected by such trustee as such, except for funds held in trust for the benefit of Holders of particular Notes, to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 7.10 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.08.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section 7.10, each of the Company and the successor trustee, at the written direction and at the expense of the Company shall mail or cause to be mailed notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Note Register. If the Company fails to mail


39




such notice within 10 days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Company.
Section 7.11.    Succession by Merger, Etc. Any corporation or other entity into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee (including the administration of this Indenture), shall be the successor to the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto; provided that in the case of any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee such corporation or other entity shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.08.
In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or authenticating agent appointed by such predecessor trustee, and deliver such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Notes shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee or an authenticating agent appointed by such successor trustee may authenticate such Notes either in the name of any predecessor trustee hereunder or in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor trustee or to authenticate Notes in the name of any predecessor trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.
ARTICLE 8
CONCERNING THE HOLDERS
Section 8.01.    Action by Holders. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action, the Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Holders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing. Whenever the Company or the Trustee solicits the taking of any action by the Holders of the Notes, the Company or the Trustee may, but shall not be required to, fix in advance of such solicitation, a date as the record date for determining Holders entitled to take such action. The record date if one is selected shall be not more than 15 days prior to the date of commencement of solicitation of such action.
Section 8.02.    Proof of Execution by Holders.

40




Section 8.03.    Who Are Deemed Absolute Owners. The Company, the Trustee, any authenticating agent, any Paying Agent, any Exchange Agent and any Note Registrar may deem the Person in whose name a Note shall be registered upon the Note Register to be, and may treat it as, the absolute owner of such Note (whether or not such Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon made by any Person other than the Company or any Note Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and (subject to Section 2.03) accrued and unpaid interest on such Note, for exchange of such Note and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any Exchange Agent nor any Note Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All such payments or deliveries so made to any Holder for the time being, or upon its order, shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sums or shares of Common Stock so paid or delivered, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for monies payable or shares deliverable upon any such Note. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture or the Notes following an Event of Default, any Holder of a beneficial interest in a Global Note may directly enforce against the Company, without the consent, solicitation, proxy, authorization or any other action of the Depositary or any other Person, such Holder’s right to exchange such beneficial interest for a Note in certificated form in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.
Section 8.04.    Company-Owned Notes Disregarded. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Notes have concurred in any direction, consent, waiver or other action under this Indenture, Notes that are owned by the Company, by the REIT, by any Subsidiary of the Company or the REIT or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company, the REIT or any Subsidiary of the Company or the REIT shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; provided that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent, waiver or other action only Notes that a Responsible Officer actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Notes so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section 8.04 if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to so act with respect to such Notes and that the pledgee is not the Company, the REIT, a Subsidiary of the Company or the REIT or a Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company, the REIT or any Subsidiary of the Company or the REIT. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. Upon request of the Trustee, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee promptly an Officers’ Certificate listing and identifying all Notes, if any, known by the Company or the REIT to be owned or held by or for the account of any of the above-described Persons; and, subject to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall be entitled to accept such Officers’ Certificate as conclusive evidence of the facts therein set forth and of the fact that all Notes not listed therein are outstanding for the purpose of any such determination.
Section 8.05.    Revocation of Consents; Future Holders Bound. At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Note that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Notes the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section


41




8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Note. Except as aforesaid, any such action taken by the Holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Note and of any Notes issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof, irrespective of whether any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Note or any Note issued in exchange or substitution therefor or upon registration of transfer thereof.

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES
Section 10.01.    Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Holders. The Company, when authorized by the resolutions of the Board of Directors, and the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for one or more of the following purposes:
(a)    to conform the provisions of this Indenture or the Notes to the description thereof in the Offering Memorandum;
(b)    to evidence the succession by a Successor Company and to provide for the assumption by a Successor Company of the Company’s or the REIT’S obligations under the Indenture and the Notes, as applicable;
(c)    to add guarantees with respect to the Notes;
(d)    to secure the Notes;
(e)    to add to the Company’s or the REIT’s covenants such further covenants, restrictions or conditions for the benefit of the Holders (or any other holders) or to surrender any right or power conferred upon the Company or the REIT by the Indenture;
(f)    (i) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency in the Indenture or the Notes or (ii) to make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Holder in any material respect;
(g)    to provide for a successor Trustee; or
(h)    to comply with the Applicable Procedures of the Depositary.
Upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company and the REIT in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to, but may in its discretion, enter into any supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.


42




Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 10.01 may be executed by the Company, the REIT and the Trustee without the consent of the Holders of any of the Notes at the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 10.02.
Section 10.02.    Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders. With the consent (evidenced as provided in Article 8) of the Holders of at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (determined in accordance with Article 8 and including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a repurchase of, or tender or exchange offer for, Notes), the Company and the REIT, when authorized by the resolutions of the Board of Directors and the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders; provided, however, that, without the consent of each Holder of an outstanding Note affected, no such supplemental indenture shall:
(a)    reduce the percentage in aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding necessary to waive any past Default or Event of Default;
(b)    reduce the rate of interest on any Note or change the time for payment of interest on any Note;
(c)    make any change that adversely affects the registration rights of any Note;
(d)    reduce the principal of any Note or change the Maturity Date;
(e)    change the place or currency of payment on any Note;
(f)    make any change that impairs or adversely affects the exchange rights of any Notes;
(g)    reduce the Redemption Price or make any other change to the provisions of Article 16 that is materially adverse to Holders in any way;
(h)    reduce the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of any Note or amend or modify in any manner adverse to the rights of the Holders of the Notes the Company’s obligation to pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, whether through an amendment or waiver of provisions in the covenants, definitions related thereto or otherwise;
(i)    impair the right of any Holder of Notes to receive payment of principal of, and interest, if any, on, its Notes, or the right to receive payment of the shares of Common Stock or other consideration, together with cash in lieu thereof in respect of any fractional shares, due upon exchange of its Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment or delivery, as the case may be, with respect to such Holder’s Notes;
(j)    modify the ranking provisions of the Indenture in a manner that is adverse to the rights of the Holders of the Notes; or


43




(k)    make any change to the provisions of this Article 10 that requires each Holder’s consent or in the waiver provisions in Section 6.09 if such change is adverse to the rights of Holders of the Notes.
It shall not be necessary for any act or consent of Holders under this Section 10.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such act or consent shall approve the substance thereof. The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons entitled to consent to any indenture supplemental hereto. If a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to consent to such supplemental indenture, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that, unless such consent shall have become effective by virtue of the requisite percentage having been obtained prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such consent previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled and of no further effect.
Upon the written request of the Company, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Holders as aforesaid and subject to Section 10.05, the Trustee shall join with the Company and the REIT in the execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.
Holders do not need under this Section 10.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture. It shall be sufficient if such Holders approve the substance thereof. After any such supplemental indenture becomes effective, the Company shall send to the Holders a notice briefly describing such supplemental indenture. However, the failure to give such notice to all the Holders, or any defect in the notice, will not impair or affect the validity of the supplemental indenture.
Section 10.03.    Effect of Supplemental Indentures. Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article 10, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company, the REIT and the Holders shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.
Section 10.04.    Notation on Notes. Notes authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article 10 may, at the Company’s expense, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company or the Trustee shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Board of Directors, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may, at the Company’s expense, be prepared and executed by the Company, authenticated upon receipt of a Company Order, by the Trustee (or


44




an authenticating agent duly appointed by the Trustee pursuant to Section 17.10) and delivered in exchange for the Notes then outstanding, upon surrender of such Notes then outstanding.
Section 10.05.    Trustee to Sign Amendments. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant hereto if the amendment or supplement does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. In executing any amendment, supplement or waiver, the Trustee shall receive and shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition to the documents required by Section 17.05, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this indenture.
ARTICLE 11
CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE, CONVEYANCE AND LEASE
Section 11.01.    Company and REIT May Consolidate, Merge, etc., on Certain Terms. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.02, neither the Company nor the REIT shall amalgamate or consolidate with, merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of its properties and assets to another Person, unless:
(a)    the Company or the REIT, as the case may be, shall be the surviving Person or the resulting, surviving or transferee Person (the “Successor Company”), and if not the Company or the REIT, shall be an entity organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and the Successor Company (if not the Company or the REIT, as the case may be) shall expressly assume, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the obligations of the Company under the Notes and the Indenture as applicable to the Notes (and, if such Successor Company is not a corporation, then such Successor Company will cause a corporate co-issuer organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia to become a co-obligor on the Notes); and
(b)    immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under the Indenture.
Section 11.02.    Successor Corporation to Be Substituted. In case of any such amalgamation, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and upon the assumption by the Successor Entity, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the due and punctual payment of the principal of (including any Fundamental Change Purchase Price), the Redemption Price (if applicable) of, accrued and unpaid interest and accrued and unpaid Additional Interest, if any, on all of the Notes, the due and punctual delivery or payment, as the case may be, of any consideration due upon exchange of the Notes and the due and punctual performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be performed by the Company and the REIT, such Successor Entity (if not the Company or the REIT) shall succeed to and, shall be substituted for the Company or the REIT, as the case may be, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company or the REIT, as the case may be, under the Indenture, with the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of the first part. Such Successor Entity, if a successor to the Company, thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own


45




name or in the name of the Company any or all of the Notes issuable hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such Successor Entity instead of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver, or cause to be authenticated and delivered, any Notes that previously shall have been signed and delivered by the Officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Notes that such Successor Entity thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All the Notes so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Notes theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Notes had been issued at the date of the execution hereof. In the event of any such amalgamation, consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer (but not in the case of a lease), the Person named as the “Company” in the first paragraph of this Indenture (or any successor that shall thereafter have become such in the manner prescribed in this Article 11) may be dissolved, wound up and liquidated at any time thereafter and, except in the case of a lease, such Person shall be released from its liabilities as obligor and maker of the Notes and from its obligations under this Indenture and the Notes.
In case of any such amalgamation, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Notes thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.
Section 11.03.    Opinion of Counsel to Be Given to Trustee. In the case of any such amalgamation, merger, consolidation, conveyance, transfer or lease, the Trustee shall receive an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that any such amalgamation, consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease and any such assumption and, if a supplemental indenture is required in connection with such transaction, such supplemental indenture, complies with the provisions of this Article 11.
ARTICLE 12

No recourse for the payment of the principal of or accrued and unpaid interest on any Note, nor for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company or the REIT in this Indenture or in any supplemental indenture or in any Note, nor because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, partner, member, employee, agent, Officer or director or Subsidiary, as such, past, present or future, of the Company or the REIT or of any successor Person, either directly or through the Company or the REIT (as the case may be) or any successor Person, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability, including, without limitation, any such liability of the REIT for the obligations of the Company hereunder or under any Note, is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issue of the Notes.

ARTICLE 14
EXCHANGE OF NOTES
Section 14.01.    Right to Exchange. (a) Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Indenture, each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to exchange its Notes, or any portion of its Notes, so long as the Notes exchanged are a multiple of $1,000 principal amount, into Common Stock at the applicable Exchange Rate, at any time prior to the Close of Business on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, unless the Notes have been previously repurchased or redeemed by the Company.
(b)    Notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes or this Indenture, no Holder of Notes will be entitled to receive Common Stock following exchange of such Notes to the extent that receipt of such Common Stock would cause such Holder to exceed the ownership limits contained in the REIT’s charter, unless such Holder has been exempted from such limit in the Board of Directors’ sole discretion in accordance with the REIT’s charter.
(c)    If any delivery of shares of Common Stock owed to a Holder upon exchange of Notes is not made, in whole or in part, as a result of the limitations described in Section 14.01(b), the REIT’s obligation to make such delivery shall not be extinguished and the Company shall deliver such shares as promptly as practicable after any such exchanging Holder gives notice to the Company that such delivery would not result in a violation of the ownership limit contained in the REIT’s charter.
(d)    Neither the Trustee nor the Exchange Agent shall be responsible for monitoring compliance with Section 14.01(b) or (c) and, absent written direction from the Company to the contrary, may assume that any exchange complies with the limitations set forth therein.
Section 14.02.    Exchange Procedure; Settlement Upon Exchange.
(a)    Settlement Method. Subject to this Section 14.02, upon any exchange of any Note, the REIT shall deliver, on or prior to the second Trading Day immediately following the Exchange Date, a number of shares of Common Stock together with cash, if applicable, in lieu of delivering any fractional share of Common Stock in accordance with Section 14.02(b) (“Physical Settlement”) equal to (i) (A) the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be exchanged, divided by (B) $1,000, multiplied by (ii) the applicable Exchange Rate in effect on the Exchange Date (subject to the settlement provisions of this Section 14.02, the “Exchange Obligation”).
(b)    Fractional Shares. The REIT shall not issue fractional shares of Common Stock upon exchange of the Notes. If multiple Notes shall be surrendered for exchange at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable upon exchange (and the number of fractional shares of Common Stock, if any, for which cash shall be delivered) shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes (or specified portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered. If any fractional share of Common Stock would be issuable upon the exchange of any Notes, the Company shall pay an amount in cash equal


47




to the current market value of the fractional shares. The current market value of a fractional share of Common Stock shall be determined (calculated to the nearest 1/10,000th of a share) by the Last Reported Sale Price of Common Stock on the Exchange Date (or, if the Exchange Date is not a Trading Day, the next following Trading Day).
(c)    Settlement of Accrued Interest and Deemed Payment of Principal. If a Holder exchanges a Note, the Company will not adjust the Exchange Rate to account for any accrued and unpaid interest on such Note and the Company’s delivery of the number of shares of Common Stock into which a Note is exchangeable, together with any cash payment for any fractional shares of Common Stock, will be deemed to satisfy and discharge in full the Company’s obligation to pay the principal of, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, such Note to, but excluding, the Exchange Date; provided, however, that if a Holder exchanges a Note after a Regular Record Date and prior to the Open of Business on the corresponding Interest Payment Date, the Company will still be obligated to pay the interest due on such Interest Payment Date to the Holder of such Note on such Regular Record Date (provided the Holder makes the interest payment upon exchange if so required by Section 14.02(j)).
As a result, except as otherwise provided in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence, any accrued and unpaid interest with respect to an exchanged Note will be deemed to be paid in full rather than canceled, extinguished or forfeited. In no event will a Holder be entitled to receive any dividend or other distribution with respect to any Common Stock issued on exchange of such Holder’s Notes if the applicable Exchange Date is after the Record Date for such dividend or distribution. Prior to the settlement of any exchange in accordance with this Section 14.02, a Holder shall not be the owner of any Common Stock issuable upon exchange of such Holder’s Notes.
(d)    Notices. Upon receipt of a Notice of Exchange (as contemplated below), the Exchange Agent shall promptly notify the Company.
(e)    Settlement Location. Each Note shall be exchangeable at the office of the Exchange Agent and, if applicable, in accordance with the Applicable Procedures.
(f)    Notice. To exercise the exchange privilege with respect to a beneficial interest in a Global Note, the Holder must complete the appropriate instruction form for exchange pursuant to the Depositary’s book-entry exchange program, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents if required by the Company or the Exchange Agent, and pay the funds, if any, required by Section 14.02(j) and any taxes or duties if required pursuant to Section 14.02(k), and the Exchange Agent must be informed of the exchange in accordance with the customary practice of the Depositary.
To exercise the exchange privilege with respect to any Physical Notes, the Holder of such Physical Notes shall:
(1)    complete and manually sign an exchange notice in the form set forth in the Form of Notice of Exchange (the “Notice of Exchange”) or a facsimile of the Notice of Exchange;
(2)    deliver the Notice of Exchange, which is irrevocable, and the Note to the Exchange Agent;


48




(3)    if required, furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents;
(4)    if required, make any payment required under Section 14.02(j); and
(5)    if required, pay all transfer or similar taxes as set forth in Section 14.02(k).
If, upon exchange of a Note, any shares of Common Stock are to be issued to a person other than the Holder of such Note, the related Notice of Exchange shall include such other person’s name and address.
If the Company calls the Notes for redemption pursuant to Article 16, Holders may exchange their Notes at any time prior to the Close of Business on the Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date. After that time, Holders will no longer have the right to exchange their Notes on account of the Company’s delivery of the relevant Redemption Notice, unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Redemption Price, in which case a Holder of the Notes may exchange its Notes until the Redemption Price has been paid or duly provided for.
If a Note is subject to a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, such Note may not be exchanged unless such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with Section 15.04 prior to the relevant Fundamental Change Expiration Time.
For any Note, the first Business Day on which the Holder of such Note satisfies all of the applicable requirements set forth above with respect to such Note and on which exchange of such Note is not otherwise prohibited under this Indenture shall be the “Exchange Date” with respect to such Note.
Each exchange shall be deemed to have been effected as to any such Notes (or portion thereof) surrendered for exchange at the Close of Business on the applicable Exchange Date, and the Person in whose name the certificate for any shares of Common Stock delivered upon exchange is registered shall be treated as a stockholder of record as of the Close of Business on such Exchange Date. At the Close of Business on the Exchange Date for a Note, the exchanging Holder shall no longer be the Holder of such Note.
(g)    Endorsement. Any Notes surrendered for exchange shall, unless shares of Common Stock issuable on exchange are to be issued in the same name as the registration of such Notes, be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly executed by, the Holder or its duly authorized attorney.
(h)    Physical Notes. If any Notes in a denomination greater than $1,000 shall be surrendered for partial exchange, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of the Notes so surrendered, without charge, new Notes in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unexchanged portion of the surrendered Notes.
(i)    Global Notes. Upon the exchange of a beneficial interest in Global Notes, the Exchange Agent shall make a notation in its records as to the reduction in the principal amount represented thereby. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any exchanges of Notes effected through any Exchange Agent other than the Trustee.


49




(j)    Interest Due Upon Exchange. If a Holder exchanges a Note after the Close of Business on a Regular Record Date but prior to the Open of Business on the Interest Payment Date corresponding to such Regular Record Date, such Holder must accompany such Note with an amount of cash equal to the amount of interest that will be payable on such Note on the corresponding Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that a Holder need not make such payment (1) if the Exchange Date follows the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date; (2) if the Company has specified a Redemption Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the corresponding Interest Payment Date; (3) if the Company has specified a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Business Day immediately following the corresponding Interest Payment Date; or (4) to the extent of any overdue interest, if any overdue interest exists at the time of exchange with respect to such Note. For the avoidance of doubt, all record Holders of Notes on the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the Maturity Date, and any Redemption Date or Fundamental Change Purchase Date described in the preceding sentence will receive the full interest payment due on the Maturity Date or other applicable Interest Payment Date regardless of whether their Notes have been exchanged following such Regular Record Date.
(k)    Taxes Due upon Exchange. If a Holder exchanges a Note, the Company will pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due on the issue of any shares of the Common Stock upon the exchange, unless the tax is due because the Holder requests that any shares be issued in a name other than the Holder’s name, in which case the Holder will pay that tax.
Section 14.03.    Increased Exchange Rate Applicable to Certain Notes Surrendered in Connection with Make-Whole Fundamental Changes or Notices of Redemption. (a) If the Effective Date of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs prior to the Maturity Date or the Company gives a Redemption Notice with respect to any or all of the Notes as provided for in Article 16 and, in each case, a Holder elects to exchange its Notes in connection with such Make-Whole Fundamental Change or during the related Redemption Period, as the case may be, the Company shall, under certain circumstances, increase the Exchange Rate for the Notes so surrendered for exchange by a number of additional shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”), as described in this Section 14.03. An exchange of Notes shall be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” a Make-Whole Fundamental Change if the relevant Exchange Date occurs during the period from, and including, the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change up to, and including, the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately prior to the related Fundamental Change Purchase Date (or, in the case of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change that would have been a Fundamental Change but for the exclusion in section (i) of clause (2) of the definition thereof, the 30th Trading Day immediately following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change) (such period, the “Make-Whole Fundamental Change Period”). An exchange of Notes will be deemed for these purposes to be “in connection with” a Redemption Notice if the relevant Exchange Date occurs during the Redemption Period.
(b)    Upon surrender of Notes for exchange in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or during a Redemption Period, the Company shall fulfill its Exchange Obligation by Physical Settlement in accordance with Section 14.02; provided, however, that if, at the effective time of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (2) of the definition


50




of Fundamental Change, the Reference Property following such Make-Whole Fundamental Change is composed entirely of cash, for any exchange of Notes following the Effective Date of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change, the Exchange Obligation shall be calculated based solely on the Stock Price for the transaction and shall be deemed to be an amount of cash per $1,000 principal amount of exchanged Notes equal to the Exchange Rate (including any adjustment for Additional Shares), multiplied by such Stock Price. In such event, the Exchange Obligation shall be paid to Holders in cash on the Business Day following the Exchange Date. The Company shall notify the Holders of Notes of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change no later than five Business Days after such Effective Date.
(c)    The number of Additional Shares, if any, by which the Exchange Rate will be increased for a Holder that exchanges its Notes in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change or a Redemption Notice shall be determined by reference to the table below, based on the date on which the Make-Whole Fundamental Change occurs or becomes effective or the date of the Redemption Notice (in each case, the “Effective Date”) and the price (the “Stock Price”) paid (or deemed to be paid) per share of the Common Stock in the Make-Whole Fundamental Change or determined with respect to the Redemption Notice, as the case may be. If the holders of the Common Stock receive in exchange for their Common Stock only cash in a Make-Whole Fundamental Change described in clause (2) of the definition of Fundamental Change, the Stock Price will be the cash amount paid per share of Common Stock. Otherwise, the Stock Price will be the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the five consecutive Trading Day-period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Effective Date of the Make-Whole Fundamental Change or the Redemption Notice, as the case may be. In the event an exchange in connection with a Redemption Notice would also be deemed to be in connection with a Make-Whole Fundamental Change, a Holder of the Notes to be exchanged shall be entitled to a single increase to the Exchange Rate with respect to the first to occur of (i) the applicable date of the Redemption Notice or (ii) the Effective Date of the applicable Make-Whole Fundamental Change, and the later event will be deemed not to have occurred for purposes of such exchanged Notes.
(d)    The Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table below shall be adjusted as of any date on which the Exchange Rate of the Notes is otherwise required to be adjusted. The adjusted Stock Prices shall equal the Stock Prices applicable immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Exchange Rate immediately prior to such adjustment giving rise to the Stock Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Exchange Rate as so adjusted. The number of Additional Shares set forth in such table shall be adjusted in the same manner and at the same time as the Exchange Rate is required to be adjusted as set forth in Section 14.04.
(e)    The following table sets forth the number of Additional Shares of Common Stock by which the Exchange Rate shall be increased per $1,000 principal amount of Notes pursuant to this Section 14.03 for each Stock Price and Effective Date set forth below:

The exact Stock Prices and Effective Dates may not be set forth in the table above, in which case:
(i)    If the Stock Price is between two Stock Prices in the table or the Effective Date is between two Effective Dates in the table, the number of Additional Shares by which the Exchange Rate will be increased shall be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of Additional Shares set forth for the next higher and next lower Stock Prices and the earlier and later Effective Dates, as applicable, based on a 365-day year.
(ii)    If the Stock Price is greater than $30.00 per share (subject to adjustment in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above pursuant to Section 14.03(d) hereof), the Exchange Rate shall not be increased.
(iii)    If the Stock Price is less than $1.84 per share (subject to adjustments in the same manner as the Stock Prices set forth in the column headings of the table above pursuant to Section 14.03(d) hereof), the Exchange Rate shall not be increased.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will the Exchange Rate be increased on account of a Make-Whole Fundamental Change to exceed 543.4782 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to adjustments in the same manner as the Exchange Rate is required to be adjusted as set forth in Section 14.04 hereof.
(f)    Notices. The Company shall notify the Holders of the Effective Date of any Make-Whole Fundamental Change no later than five Business Days after such Effective Date; provided, however, that, if any Make-Whole Fundamental Change results from the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(l), notification of such Make-Whole Fundamental Change shall be governed by Section 6.02(c) hereof.
Section 14.04.    Adjustment of Exchange Rate. The Exchange Rate will be adjusted as described in this Section 14.04, except that the Company shall not make any adjustment to the Exchange Rate if Holders participate (other than in the case of (x) a share split or share combination or (y) a tender or exchange offer), at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock and as a result of holding the Notes, in any of the transactions described below without having to exchange their Notes, as if they held a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the applicable Exchange Rate, multiplied by the principal amount (expressed in thousands) of Notes held by such Holder.
(a)    If the REIT exclusively issues shares of Common Stock as a dividend or distribution on all or substantially all shares of the Common Stock, or if the REIT effects a share split or share combination, the Exchange Rate will be adjusted based on the following formula:


52




ER1 = ER0 x
OS1
OS0
where,
ER0
=
the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date of such dividend or distribution, or immediately prior to the Open of Business on the effective date of such share split or combination, as applicable;
ER1
=
the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or such effective date, as applicable;
OS0
=
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or such effective date, as applicable, before giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination, as applicable; and
OS1
=
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such dividend, distribution, share split or share combination, as applicable.
Any adjustment made under this Section 14.04(a) shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution, or immediately after the Open of Business on the effective date for such share split or share combination, as applicable. If any dividend or distribution of the type described in this Section 14.04(a) is declared but not so paid or made, the Exchange Rate shall be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(b)    If the REIT issues to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock any rights, options or warrants (other than rights issued pursuant to a stockholder rights plan prior to separation of the relevant rights) entitling them, for a period of not more than 45 calendar days after the date of such issuance, to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock, at a price per share that is less than the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day-period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of such issuance, the Exchange Rate will be increased based on the following formula:
ER1 = ER0 x 
OS0 + X
OS0 + Y
where,


53




ER0
=
the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance;
ER1
=
the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
OS0
=
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
X
=
the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to such rights, options or warrants; and
Y
=
the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the aggregate price payable to exercise such rights, options or warrants divided by the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day-period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement of the issuance of such rights, options or warrants.
Any increase made under this Section 14.04(b) will be made successively whenever any such rights, options or warrants are issued and shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such issuance. To the extent that such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration or shares of Common Stock are not delivered upon the expiration of such rights, options or warrants, the Exchange Rate shall be readjusted to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect had the increase with respect to the issuance of such rights, options or warrants been made on the basis of delivery of only the number of shares of Common Stock actually delivered. If such rights, options or warrants are not so issued, or if such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to their expiration, the Exchange Rate shall be decreased to be the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such Record Date for such issuance had not occurred.
For purposes of this Section 14.04(b), in determining whether any rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of the Common Stock to subscribe for or purchase shares of the Common Stock at a price per share less than such average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock for the 10 consecutive Trading Day-period ending on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of announcement for such issuance, and in determining the aggregate offering price of such shares of the Common Stock, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the REIT for such rights, options or warrants and any amount payable on exercise or conversion thereof, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors.
(c)    If the REIT distributes shares of its Capital Stock, evidences of its indebtedness, other assets or property of the REIT or rights, options or warrants to acquire its Capital Stock or other securities, to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, excluding: (1) dividends or distributions, rights, options or warrants as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 14.04(a) or Section 14.04(b); (2) dividends or distributions paid exclusively in cash as to which an adjustment was effected pursuant to Section 14.04(d); and (3) Spin-Offs as to which the provisions set forth below in this Section 14.04(c) shall apply; then the Exchange Rate shall be increased based on the following formula:


54




ER1 = ER0 x
SP0
SP0 – FMV
where,
ER0
=
the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution;
ER1
=
the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date;
SP0
=
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day-period ending on, and including, the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution; and
FMV
=
the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith) of the shares of the REIT’s Capital Stock, evidences of the REIT’s indebtedness, other assets, or property of the REIT or rights, options or warrants to acquire the REIT’s Capital Stock or other securities distributed with respect to each outstanding share of the Common Stock on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution.
If “FMV” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than the “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder of Notes shall receive, in respect of each $1,000 principal amount of Notes it holds, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of the Common Stock, the amount and kind of the REIT’s Capital Stock, evidences of the REIT’s indebtedness, other assets or property of the REIT or rights, options or warrants to acquire the REIT’s Capital Stock or other securities that such Holder would have received as if such Holder owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Exchange Rate in effect on the Record Date for the distribution.
Any increase made under the portion of this Section 14.04(c) above will become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such distribution. If such distribution is not so paid or made, the Exchange Rate shall be decreased to be the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
With respect to an adjustment pursuant to this Section 14.04(c) where there has been a payment of a dividend or other distribution on the Common Stock of shares of Capital Stock of any class or series, or similar equity interest, of or relating to a Subsidiary of the REIT or other business unit of the REIT, and such Capital Stock or similar equity interest is listed or quoted (or will be listed or quoted upon the consummation of the distribution) on a United States national securities exchange (a “Spin-Off”), the Exchange Rate will be increased based on the following formula:

ER1 = ER0 x
FMV0 + MP0
MP0
where,


55




ER0
=
the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the end of the Valuation Period (as defined below);
ER1
=
the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the end of the Valuation Period;
FMV0
=
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Capital Stock or similar equity interest distributed to holders of Common Stock applicable to one share of Common Stock over the first 10 consecutive Trading Day-period after, and including, the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off (the “Valuation Period”); and
MP0
=
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of Common Stock over the Valuation Period.
The increase in the Exchange Rate made under the preceding paragraph of this Section 14.04(c) will be determined as of the Close of Business on the last Trading Day of the Valuation Period, but will be given effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date of the Spin-Off; provided that in respect of any exchange during the Valuation Period, references within this Section 14.04(c) to ten consecutive Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including the Ex-Dividend Date of such Spin-Off to, and including, the Exchange Date in determining the applicable Exchange Rate. If any dividend or distribution that constitutes a Spin-Off is declared but not so paid or made, the Exchange Rate shall be immediately decreased, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such dividend or distribution, to the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared or announced. For the avoidance of doubt, if the application of the foregoing formula would result in a decrease in the Exchange Rate, no adjustment to the Exchange Rate will be made (other than with respect to the Company’s right to readjust the Exchange Rate).
For purposes of the second adjustment set forth in this Section 14.04(c), (i) the Last Reported Sale Price of any Capital Stock or similar equity interest shall be calculated in a manner analogous to that used to calculate the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock in the definition of “Last Reported Sale Price” set forth in Section 1.01, (ii) whether a day is a Trading Day (and whether a day is a Scheduled Trading Day and whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred) for such Capital Stock or similar equity interest shall be determined in a manner analogous to that used to determine whether a day is a Trading Day (or whether a day is a Scheduled Trading Day and whether a Market Disruption Event has occurred) for the Common Stock, and (iii) whether a day is a Trading Day to be included in a Valuation Period will be determined based on whether a day is a Trading Day for both the Common Stock and such Capital Stock or similar equity interest.
Subject to Section 14.04(l), for the purposes of this Section 14.04(c), rights, options or warrants distributed by the REIT to all holders of the Common Stock entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of the REIT’s Capital Stock (either initially or under certain circumstances), which rights, options or warrants, until the occurrence of a specified event or events (a “Trigger Event”): (1) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock; (2) are not exercisable; and (3) are also issued in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, shall be deemed not to have been distributed for purposes of this Section 14.04(c), (and no adjustment to the Exchange Rate under this Section 14.04(c) will be required) until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger Event,


56




whereupon such rights, options or warrants shall be deemed to have been distributed and an appropriate adjustment (if any is required) to the Exchange Rate shall be made under this Section 14.04(c). If any such right, option or warrant, distributed prior to the Issue Date is subject to events, upon the occurrence of which such right, option or warrant becomes exercisable to purchase different securities, evidences of indebtedness or other assets, then the date of the occurrence of any and each such event shall be deemed to be the date of distribution and Ex-Dividend Date of such deemed distribution (in which case the original right, option or warrant shall be deemed to terminate and expire on such date without exercise by any of the holders). In addition, in the event of any distribution or deemed distribution of rights, options or warrants, or any Trigger Event or other event (of the type described in the preceding sentence) with respect thereto that was counted for purposes of calculating a distribution amount for which an adjustment to the Exchange Rate under this Section 14.04(c) was made, (1) in the case of any such rights, options or warrants which shall all have been redeemed or purchased without exercise by any holders thereof, upon such final redemption or purchase (x) the Exchange Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights, options or warrants had not been issued and (y) the Exchange Rate shall then again be readjusted to give effect to such distribution, deemed distribution or Trigger Event, as the case may be, as though it were a cash distribution, equal to the per share redemption or purchase price received by holders of Common Stock with respect to such rights, options or warrants (assuming each such holder had retained such rights, options or warrants), made to all holders of Common Stock as of the date of such redemption or purchase, and (2) in the case of such rights, options or warrants which shall have expired or been terminated without exercise by any holders thereof, the Exchange Rate shall be readjusted as if such rights and warrants had not been issued.
For purposes of Section 14.04(a), Section 14.04(b) and this Section 14.04(c), if any dividend or distribution to which this Section 14.04(c) applies includes one or both of:
(A) a dividend or distribution of shares of Common Stock to which Section 14.04(a) also applies (the “Clause A Distribution”); or
(B) a dividend or distribution of rights, options or warrants to which Section 14.04(b) also applies (the “Clause B Distribution”), then (i) such dividend or distribution, other than the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, shall be deemed to be a dividend or distribution to which this Section 14.04(c) applies (the “Clause C Distribution”) and any Exchange Rate adjustment required to be made under this Section 14.04(c) with respect to such Clause C Distribution shall be made, (ii) the Clause B Distribution, if any, shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution and any Exchange Rate adjustment required by Section 14.04(b) with respect thereto shall then be made, except that, if determined by the Company, (A) the “Ex-Dividend Date” of the Clause B Distribution and the Clause A Distribution, if any, shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A Distribution or the Clause B Distribution shall not be deemed to be “outstanding immediately prior to the Close of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date” within the meaning of Section 14.04(b), and (iii) the Clause A Distribution, if any, shall be deemed to immediately follow the Clause C Distribution or the Clause B Distribution, as the case may be, except that, if determined by the Company, (A) the “Ex-Dividend Date” of the Clause A Distribution and the Clause B Distribution, if any, shall be deemed to be the Ex-Dividend Date of the Clause C Distribution, and (B) any shares of Common Stock included in the Clause A distribution shall not


57




be deemed to be “outstanding immediately prior to the Close of Business on such Ex-Dividend Date or such effective date” within the meaning of Section 14.04(a).
(d)    If any cash dividend or distribution is made to all or substantially all holders of the Common Stock, the Exchange Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

ER1 = ER0 x
SP0
SP0 – C
where,
ER0
=
the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
ER1
=
the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the Open of Business on the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
SP0
=
the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution;
C
=
the amount in cash per share that the REIT distributes to holders of the Common Stock.

If “C” (as defined above) is equal to or greater than “SP0” (as defined above), in lieu of the foregoing increase, each Holder shall receive, for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes it holds, at the same time and upon the same terms as holders of shares of the Common Stock, the amount of cash that such Holder would have received if such Holder had owned a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Exchange Rate in effect on the Record Date for such cash dividend or distribution. Such increase shall become effective immediately after the Open of Business on the Exchange Date for such dividend or distribution. If such dividend or distribution is not so paid, the Exchange Rate shall be decreased to be the Exchange Rate that would then be in effect if such dividend or distribution had not been declared.
(e)    If the REIT or any of its Subsidiaries makes a payment in respect of a tender offer or exchange offer for the Common Stock, to the extent that the cash and value of any other consideration included in the payment per share of the Common Stock exceeds the Last Reported Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day next succeeding the last date on which tenders or exchanges may be made pursuant to such tender or exchange offer (the “Offer Expiration Date”), the Exchange Rate shall be adjusted based on the following formula:

ER1 = ER0 x 
AC + (SP1 x OS1)
OS0 x SP1
where,


58




ER0
=
the Exchange Rate in effect immediately prior to the Close of Business on the Offer Expiration Date;
ER1
=
the Exchange Rate in effect immediately after the Close of Business on the Offer Expiration Date;
AC
=
the aggregate value of all cash and any other consideration (as determined by the Board of Directors) paid or payable for shares of Common Stock purchased in such tender offer or exchange offer;
OS0
=
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the expiration time of the tender or exchange offer on the Offer Expiration Date (prior to giving effect to the purchase of all shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender offer or exchange offer);
OS1
=
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the expiration time of the tender or exchange offer on the Offer Expiration Date (after giving effect to the purchase of all shares accepted for purchase or exchange in such tender or exchange offer); and
SP1
=
the average of the Last Reported Sale Prices of the Common Stock over the 10 consecutive Trading Day-period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date.
The adjustment to the applicable Exchange Rate under the preceding paragraph of this Section 14.04(e) will be given effect at the Open of Business on the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date. For purposes of determining the applicable Exchange Rate, in respect of any exchange during the 10 consecutive Trading Day-period commencing on, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date, references within this Section 14.04(e) to 10 consecutive Trading Days shall be deemed replaced with such lesser number of Trading Days as have elapsed from, and including, the Trading Day next succeeding the Offer Expiration Date to, and including, the relevant Exchange Date.
(f)    Except as stated herein, the Company shall not adjust the Exchange Rate for the issuance of shares of the Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of the Common Stock or the right to purchase shares of the Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities.
(g)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 14, the Exchange Rate shall not be adjusted:
(i)    on account of stock repurchases that are not tender offers referred to in Section 14.04(e), including structured or derivative transactions, or transactions pursuant to a stock repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors or otherwise;
(ii)    upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any present or future plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends or interest payable on the REIT’s securities and the investment of additional optional amounts in shares of Common Stock under any plan;


59




(iii)    upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock or options or rights to purchase those shares pursuant to any present or future employee, director or consultant benefit plan, program or agreement of or assumed by the REIT or any of its Subsidiaries;
(iv)    upon the issuance of any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any option, warrant, right or exercisable, exchangeable or convertible security not described in the preceding clause (iii) and outstanding as of the date the Notes were first issued;
(v)    for a change in the par value of the Common Stock;
(vi)    for accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes, if any; or
(vii)    for an event otherwise requiring an adjustment under this Indenture if such event is not consummated.
(h)    All calculations and other determinations under this Article 14 shall be made by the Company and shall be made to the nearest one-ten thousandth (1/10,000th) of a share.
(i)    For purposes of this Section 14.04, the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the REIT or the Company so long as the REIT or the Company, as the case may be, does not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the REIT or the Company, as the case may be, but shall include shares of Common Stock issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock.
(j)    Whenever the Exchange Rate is adjusted as herein provided, the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee (and the Exchange Agent if not the Trustee) an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the Exchange Rate after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. Unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received such Officers’ Certificate, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any adjustment of the Exchange Rate and may assume without inquiry that the last Exchange Rate of which it has knowledge is still in effect.”
Section 14.05.    Discretionary and Voluntary Adjustments.
(a)    Discretionary Adjustments. Whenever any provision of this Indenture requires the Company to calculate the Last Reported Sale Prices over a span of multiple days, the Company will make appropriate adjustments to account for any adjustment to the Exchange Rate that becomes effective, or any event requiring an adjustment to the Exchange Rate where the Effective Date, Ex-Dividend Date, Record Date or Offer Expiration Date of the event occurs, at any time during the period when such Last Reported Sale Prices are to be calculated.
(b)    Voluntary Adjustments. To the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to the listing standards of The New York Stock Exchange (if the REIT is then listed on The New York Stock Exchange), the Company is permitted to increase the Exchange Rate of the Notes by any


60




amount for a period of at least 20 Business Days if the Board of Directors determines that such increase would be in the Company’s best interest. Subject to the listing standards of The New York Stock Exchange (if the REIT is then listed on The New York Stock Exchange), the Company may also (but is not required to) increase the Exchange Rate to avoid or diminish income tax to holders of Common Stock or rights to purchase shares of Common Stock in connection with a dividend or distribution of shares (or rights to acquire shares) or similar event.
Section 14.06.    Shares to Be Fully Paid. The REIT shall provide, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury, sufficient shares of Common Stock to provide for exchange of the Notes from time to time as such Notes are presented for exchange (assuming that at the time of computation of such number of shares, all such Notes would be exchanged by a single Holder).
Section 14.07.    Effect of Recapitalizations, Reclassifications and Changes of the Common Stock.
(a)    In the case of:
(i)    any recapitalization, reclassification or change of the Common Stock (other than a change in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result of a split, subdivision or combination for which an adjustment was made pursuant to Section 14.04(a));
(ii)    any consolidation, merger or combination involving the Company or the REIT;
(iii)    any sale, lease or other transfer to a third party of the consolidated assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries substantially as an entirety; or
(iv)    any statutory share exchange involving the REIT;
in each case, as a result of which the Common Stock would be converted into, or exchanged for, stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) (any such event, a “Merger Event,” any such stock, other securities, other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof), “Reference Property,” and the amount and kind of Reference Property that a holder of one share of Common Stock (i) is entitled to receive in the applicable Merger Event or (ii) if as a result of the applicable Merger Event, each share of Common Stock is converted into the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election), the per-share of Common Stock weighted average of the types and amounts of Reference Property received by the holders of Common Stock that affirmatively make such an election, a “Unit of Reference Property”) then, at and after the effective time of such Merger Event, the right to exchange each $1,000 principal amount of Notes based on a number of shares of the Common Stock equal to the applicable Exchange Rate will, without the consent of the Holders, be changed into a right to exchange each $1,000 principal amount of Notes based on a number of Units of Reference Property equal to the applicable Exchange Rate and, prior to or at the effective time of such Merger Event, the Company or the successor or purchasing person,


61




as the case may be, shall execute with the Trustee a supplemental indenture providing for such change in the right to exchange each $1,000 principal amount of Notes.
If the Merger Event causes the Common Stock to be converted into, or exchanged for, the right to receive more than a single type of consideration (determined based in part upon any form of stockholder election) as contemplated by the preceding paragraph such that a Unit of Reference Property is comprised of the per-share of Common Stock weighted average of the types and amounts of consideration received by the holders of the Common Stock in the Merger Event that affirmatively make such an election, the Company shall notify Holders, the Trustee and the Exchange Agent (if other than the Trustee) of the weighted average as soon as practicable after such determination is made.
The Company shall not become a party to any Merger Event unless its terms are consistent with this Section 14.07. Such supplemental indenture described in the second immediately preceding paragraph shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent to the adjustments provided for in this Article 14 in the judgment of the Board of Directors or the board of directors of the successor person. If, in the case of any such Merger Event, the Reference Property receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Stock includes shares of stock, securities or other property or assets (including cash or any combination thereof) of a person other than the successor or purchasing person, as the case may be, in such Merger Event, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such other person.
(b)    The Company shall cause notice of the execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to each Holder, at the address of such Holder as it appears on the register of the Notes maintained by the Note Registrar, within 20 days after execution thereof. Failure to deliver such notice shall not affect the legality or validity of such supplemental indenture. The above provisions of this Section 14.07 shall similarly apply to successive Merger Events.
Section 14.08.    Certain Covenants. (a) The REIT covenants that all shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon exchange of Notes shall be newly issued shares or treasury shares, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and shall be free from preemptive rights and free from any tax, lien or charge (other than those created by the Holder or due to a change in registered owner).
(b)    The REIT covenants that, if any shares of Common Stock to be provided for the purpose of exchange of Notes hereunder require registration with or approval of any governmental authority under any federal or state law before such shares of Common Stock may be validly issued upon exchange, the REIT will, to the extent then permitted by the rules and interpretations of the Commission, secure such registration or approval, as the case may be.
(c)    The REIT further covenants that it shall list or cause to have quoted any shares of Common Stock to be issued upon exchange of the Notes on each national securities exchange or over-the-counter or other domestic market on which the Common Stock is then listed or quoted.
(d)    To the extent necessary to satisfy its obligations under this Indenture, prior to issuing any shares of Common Stock, the REIT will reserve out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock to permit the exchange of the Notes.


62




Section 14.09.    Responsibility of Trustee. The Trustee and any Exchange Agent shall not at any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Notes to determine or calculate the Exchange Rate, to determine whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the Exchange Rate, to confirm the accuracy of any such adjustment when made or the appropriateness of the method employed, or herein or in any supplemental indenture provided to be employed, in making the same or to make any determinations with respect to the ownership limit in the REIT’s charter. The Trustee and any other Exchange Agent shall not be accountable with respect to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock or of any other securities or property that may at any time be issued or delivered upon the exchange of any Notes; and the Trustee and the Exchange Agent make no representations with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any Exchange Agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of Common Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property or cash upon the surrender of any Notes for the purpose of exchange or to comply with any of the duties, responsibilities or covenants of the Company contained in this Article 14. The rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including without limitation its right to be compensated, reimbursed, and indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, including its capacity as Exchange Agent.
Section 14.10.    Poison Pill. Whenever a Holder exchanges a Note, to the extent that the REIT has a rights plan in effect, the Holder exchanging such Note will receive, in addition to any shares of Common Stock otherwise received in connection with such exchange, the rights under the rights plan unless the rights have separated from the Common Stock, in which case, and only in such case, the Exchange Rate will be adjusted at the time of separation as if the REIT distributed to all holders of the Common Stock, shares of Capital Stock, evidences of indebtedness, assets, property, rights, options or warrants as described in Section 14.04(c), subject to readjustment in the event of the expiration, termination or redemption of such rights.
Section 14.11.    Ownership Limit. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Notes, no Holders of Notes shall be entitled to exchange such Notes for shares of Common Stock to the extent that receipt of such shares would cause such Holder (or any other Person) to exceed the ownership limit contained in Article VII of the Articles of Amendment and Restatement of the REIT dated as of January 10, 2017, filed with the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland, as amended on June 22, 2018 and as amended, supplemented or restated from time to time. The Trustee shall have no obligation for monitoring ownership limits upon the transfer or exchange of Notes.
Section 14.12.    Deferral of Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company will not be required to adjust the Exchange Rate unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at least one percent; provided, however, that any such minor adjustments that are not required to be made will be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment, and provided, further, that any such adjustment of less than one percent that has not been made shall be made upon the occurrence of (i) the Effective Date for any Make-Whole Fundamental Change; (ii) the Company’s giving of a Redemption Notice pursuant to Article 16; and (iii) any exchange of Notes. In addition, the Company shall not account for such deferrals when determining whether any of the conditions to exchange have been satisfied or what number of shares of Common Stock a Holder would have held on a given day had it exchanged its Notes.


63




Section 14.13.    Limitation on Adjustments. Except as stated in Section 14.04, the Company will not adjust the Exchange Rate for the issuance of shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock or the right to purchase shares of the Common Stock or such convertible or exchangeable securities. If, however, the application of the formulas in Sections 14.04(a) through (e) would result in a decrease in the Exchange Rate, then, except to the extent of any readjustment to the Exchange Rate, no adjustment to the Exchange Rate will be made (other than as a result of a reverse share split, share combination or readjustment).
Section 14.14.    Notice to Holders. (a) The Notice to Holders Prior to Certain Actions. The Company shall deliver notices of the events specified below at the times specified below and containing the information specified below unless, in each case, (i) pursuant to the Indenture, the Company is already required to deliver notice of such event containing at least the information specified below at an earlier time or, (ii) the Company, at the time it is required to deliver a notice, does not have knowledge of all of the information required to be included in such notice, in which case, the Company shall (A) deliver notice at such time containing only the information that it has knowledge of at such time (if it has knowledge of any such information at such time), and (B) promptly upon obtaining knowledge of any such information not already included in a notice delivered by the Company, deliver notice to each Holder containing such information. In each case, the failure by the Company to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the legality or validity of such event.
(i)    Issuances, Distributions, and Dividends and Distributions. If the Company or the REIT: (A) announces any issuance of any rights, options or warrants that would require an adjustment in the Exchange Rate pursuant to Section 14.04(b); (B) authorizes any distribution that would require an adjustment in the Exchange Rate pursuant to Section 14.04(c) hereof (including any separation of rights from the Common Stock described in Section 14.13); or (C) announces any dividend or distribution that would require an adjustment in the Exchange Rate pursuant to Section 14.04(d), then the Company shall deliver to the Holders, as promptly as possible, but in any event at least 15 calendar days prior to the applicable Ex-Dividend Date, notice describing such issuance, distribution, dividend or distribution, as the case may be, and stating the expected Ex-Dividend Date and Record Date for such issuance, distribution, dividend or distribution, as the case may be. In addition, the Company shall deliver to the Holders notice if the consideration included in such issuance, distribution, dividend or distribution, or the Ex-Dividend Date or Record Date of such issuance, distribution, dividend or distribution, as the case may be, changes.
(ii)    Voluntary Increases. If the Company increases the Exchange Rate pursuant to Section 14.05(b), the Company shall deliver notice to the Holders at least 15 calendar days prior to the date on which such increase will become effective, which notice shall state the date on which such increased will become effective and the amount by which the Exchange Rate will be increased.


64




(iii)    Dissolutions, Liquidations and Winding-Ups. If there is a voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding-up of the Company or the REIT, the Company shall deliver notice to the Holders as promptly as possible, but in any event at least 15 calendar days prior to the earlier of (i) the date on which such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be, is expected to become effective or occur, and (ii) the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Stock for securities or other property deliverable upon such dissolution, liquidation or winding-up, as the case may be, which notice shall state the expected effective date and Record Date for such event, as applicable, and the amount and kind of property that a holder of one share of the Common Stock is expected to be entitled, or may elect, to receive in such event. The Company shall deliver an additional notice to holders, as promptly as practicable, whenever the expected effective date or Record Date, as applicable, or the amount and kind of property that a holder of one share of the Common Stock is expected to be entitled to receive in such event, changes.
(b)    Notices After Certain Actions and Events. Whenever an adjustment to the Exchange Rate becomes effective pursuant to Section 14.03, 14.04 or 14.05 hereof, the Company will (i) file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that such adjustment has become effective, the Exchange Rate, and the manner in which the adjustment was computed and (ii) deliver notice to the Holders stating that such adjustment has become effective and the Exchange Rate or exchange privilege as adjusted. Failure to give any such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity of any such adjustment.

Section 15.01.    [Reserved.]
Section 15.02.    Purchase at Option of Holders Upon a Fundamental Change. (a) If a Fundamental Change occurs, then each Holder shall have the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to purchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes, or any portion thereof such that the remaining principal amount of each Note that is not purchased in full equals $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof, on a date (the “Fundamental Change Purchase Date”) specified by the Company that is not less than 20 calendar days or more than 35 calendar days following the date on which the Company delivers the Fundamental Change Company Notice, at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon, if any, to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (the “Fundamental Change Purchase Price”); provided, however, that if the Company purchases a Note on a Fundamental Change Purchase Date that is after a Regular Record Date and on or prior to the Interest Payment Date corresponding to such Regular Record Date, the Company shall instead pay such accrued and unpaid interest on such Note on the Interest Payment Date to the Holder of record of such Note as of such Regular Record Date.
Purchases of Notes under this Section 15.02 shall be made, at the option of the Holder thereof, upon:
(i)    if the Notes to be purchased are Physical Notes, delivery to the Paying Agent by the Holder of a duly completed notice (the “Fundamental Change Purchase Notice”) in the


65




form set forth in Attachment 2 to the Form of Note attached hereto as Exhibit A and of the Notes, duly endorsed for transfer, on or before the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, subject to extensions to comply with applicable law (the “Fundamental Change Expiration Time”); and
(ii)    if the Notes to be purchased are Global Notes, delivery of the Notes, by book-entry transfer, in compliance with the Applicable Procedures and the satisfaction of any other requirements of the Depositary in connection with tendering beneficial interests in a Global Note for purchase, by the Fundamental Change Expiration Time.
The Fundamental Change Purchase Notice in respect of any Notes to be purchased shall state:
(i)    if certificated, the certificate numbers of such Notes;
(ii)    the portion of the principal amount of such Notes, which must be such that the principal amount that is not to be purchased of each Note that is not to be purchased in full equals $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof; and
(iii)    that such Notes are to be purchased by the Company pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Notes and this Indenture.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Holder delivering to the Paying Agent the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice contemplated by this Section 15.02 shall have the right to withdraw, in whole or in part, such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice at any time prior to the Fundamental Change Expiration Time by delivery of a written notice of withdrawal to the Paying Agent in accordance with Section 15.04.
The Paying Agent shall promptly notify the Company of the receipt by it of any Fundamental Change Purchase Notice or written notice of withdrawal thereof.
(b)    On or before the 20th calendar day after the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Company shall provide to all Holders of the Notes, the Trustee and the Paying Agent (in the case of any Paying Agent other than the Trustee) a notice (the “Fundamental Change Company Notice”) of the occurrence of such Fundamental Change and of the purchase right at the option of the Holders arising as a result thereof. Such notice shall be sent by first class mail or, in the case of any Global Notes, in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary for providing notices. Simultaneously with providing such Fundamental Change Company Notice, the Company shall publish a press release containing this information or publish this information on the Company’s website or through such other public medium as the Company may use at that time.
Each Fundamental Change Company Notice shall specify:

(ix)    that the Holder shall have the right to withdraw any Notes surrendered for purchase prior to the Fundamental Change Expiration Time; and
(x)    the procedures that Holders must follow to require the Company to purchase their Notes.
No failure of the Company to give the foregoing notices and no defect therein shall limit the purchase rights of the Holders of Notes or affect the validity of the proceedings for the purchase of the Notes pursuant to this Section 15.02.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to deliver a Fundamental Change Company Notice or to purchase any Notes upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change if the Company has delivered a Redemption Notice for all of the Notes in accordance with Section 15.03, unless and until there is a default in the payment of the Redemption Price.
(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, there shall be no purchase of any Notes pursuant to this Section 15.02 if the principal amount of the Notes has been accelerated, and such acceleration has not been rescinded, on or prior to the Fundamental Change Purchase Date (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to such Notes). The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Notes held by it during the acceleration of the Notes (except in the case of an acceleration resulting from a Default by the Company in the payment of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price with respect to such Notes) and shall deem to be canceled any instructions for book-entry transfer of the Notes in compliance with the procedures of the Depositary, in which case, upon such return or cancellation, as the case may be, the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice with respect thereto shall be deemed to have been withdrawn.
Section 15.03.    Effect of Fundamental Change Purchase Notice. Upon receipt by the Paying Agent of a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice specified in Section 15.02, the Holder of the Note in respect of which such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice was given shall (unless


67




such Fundamental Change Purchase Notice is withdrawn in accordance with Section 15.04) thereafter be entitled to receive solely the Fundamental Change Purchase Price in cash with respect to such Note (and any previously accrued and unpaid interest on such Note). Such Fundamental Change Purchase Price shall be paid to such Holder, subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, on the later of (x) the applicable Fundamental Change Purchase Date (provided the conditions in Section 15.02 have been satisfied) and (y) the time of delivery or book-entry transfer of such Note to the Paying Agent by the Holder thereof in the manner required by Section 15.02, subject in each case to extensions to comply with applicable law.
Section 15.04.    Withdrawal of Fundamental Change Purchase Notice. A Fundamental Change Purchase Notice may be withdrawn (in whole or in part) by means of a written notice of withdrawal delivered to the Paying Agent in accordance with the Fundamental Change Company Notice at any time prior to the Fundamental Change Expiration Time, specifying:
(1)    the principal amount of the Notes with respect to which such notice of withdrawal is being submitted;
(2)    if Physical Notes have been issued, the certificate numbers of the withdrawn Notes; and
(3)    the principal amount, if any, of each Note that remains subject to the Fundamental Change Purchase Notice, which must be such that the principal amount not to be purchased equals $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof;
provided, however, that if the Notes are Global Notes, the notice must comply with Applicable Procedures.
The Paying Agent will promptly return to the respective Holders thereof any Physical Notes with respect to which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been withdrawn in compliance with the provisions of this Section 15.04.
Section 15.05.    Deposit of Fundamental Change Purchase Price. Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the Company or a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of either of them is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided herein) an amount of money (in immediately available funds if deposited on such Business Day) sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of all the Notes or portions thereof that are to be purchased as of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date. If the Paying Agent holds cash sufficient to pay the Fundamental Change Purchase Price of the Notes that have been properly surrendered for purchase and not validly withdrawn and for which a Fundamental Change Purchase Notice has been tendered and not withdrawn in accordance with this Indenture on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, then as of such Fundamental Change Purchase Date, (a) such Notes will cease to be outstanding and interest will cease to accrue thereon (whether or not book-entry transfer of such Notes is made or whether or not such Notes have been delivered to the Paying Agent) and (b) all other rights of the Holders in respect thereof will terminate (other than the right to receive the Fundamental Change Purchase Price and previously accrued and unpaid interest thereon upon delivery or book-entry transfer of such Notes).


68




Section 15.06.    Notes Purchased in Whole or in Part. Any Note that is to be purchased, whether in whole or in part, shall be surrendered at the office of the Paying Agent (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires in the case of Physical Notes, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Note, without service charge, a new Note or Notes, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal amount of the Note so surrendered that is not purchased.
Section 15.07.    Covenant to Comply with Applicable Laws Upon Purchase of Notes. In connection with any offer to purchase Notes under Section 15.02, the Company shall, in each case if required by law, (i) comply with Rule 13e-4, Rule 14e-1 and any other tender offer and other applicable rules under the Exchange Act that may then be applicable, (ii) file a Schedule TO or any other required schedule under the Exchange Act and (iii) otherwise comply with all U.S. federal and state securities laws applicable to the Company in connection with such purchase offer, in each case, so as to permit the rights and obligations under Section 15.02 to be exercised in the time and in the manner specified in Section 15.02. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations enacted or adopted after the date on which the Notes are first issued conflict with the provisions of this Indenture relating to the obligations of the Company to purchase the Notes upon a Fundamental Change, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under such provisions of this Indenture by virtue of such conflict.
Section 15.08.    Repayment to the Company. To the extent that the aggregate amount of cash deposited by the Company pursuant to Section 15.05 exceeds the aggregate Fundamental Change Purchase Price of the Notes or portions thereof that the Company is obligated to purchase as of the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, then, following the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Paying Agent shall promptly return any such excess to the Company.

The Redemption Date must be a Business Day and may not fall on or after the date that is 180 calendar days immediately prior to the Maturity Date. At the Company’s request, a Redemption Notice shall be given by the Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the Company, with the notice information required under Section 16.02(c) delivered to the Trustee at least two Business Days before such notice is to be given to the Holders (unless a shorter period shall be acceptable to the Trustee). The election of the Company to redeem any Notes pursuant to Section 16.01 shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution. The Company shall not less than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee in writing of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Notes to be redeemed. The Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with the conditions to such redemption no later than the date the Redemption Notice is given pursuant to this Section 16.02.
(b)    The Redemption Notice, if mailed in the manner herein provided, shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, failure to give such Redemption Notice or any defect in the Redemption Notice to the Holder of any Note designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note.
(c)    Each Redemption Notice shall specify:
(i)    the Redemption Date;
(ii)    the Redemption Price;
(iii)    that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each Note to be redeemed, and that interest thereon, if any, shall cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date;
(iv)    the place or places where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price;
(v)    that Holders may surrender their Notes for exchange at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the second Scheduled Trading Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date unless the Company fails to pay the Redemption Price (in which case a Holder may exchange such Notes until the Redemption Price has been duly paid or duly provided for);

(vii)    the Exchange Rate and, if applicable, the number of Additional Shares added to the Exchange Rate in accordance with Section 14.03;

(d)    If the Company redeems fewer than all of the outstanding Notes, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected (in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) by lot or pro rata basis, and in accordance with Applicable Procedures. If any Note selected for partial redemption is submitted for exchange in part after such selection, the portion of the Note submitted for exchange shall be deemed (so far as may be possible) to be the portion selected for redemption.
Section 16.03.    Payment of Notes Called for Redemption. (a) If any Redemption Notice has been given in respect of the Notes in accordance with Section 16.02, the Notes shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date at the place or places stated in the Redemption Notice and at the applicable Redemption Price. On presentation and surrender of the Notes at the place or places stated in the Redemption Notice, the Notes shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable Redemption Price.
(b)    Prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent or, if the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company is acting as the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 4.04 an amount of cash (in immediately available funds if deposited on the Redemption Date), sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of all of the Notes to be redeemed on such Redemption Date. Subject to receipt of funds by the Paying Agent, payment for the Notes to be redeemed shall be made promptly after the later of:
(i)    the Redemption Date for such Notes; and
(ii)    the time of presentation of such Note to the Trustee (or other Paying Agent appointed by the Company) by the Holder thereof in the manner required by this Section 16.03.

Such authenticating agent shall at all times be a Person eligible to serve as trustee hereunder pursuant to Section 7.08.

Any corporation or other entity into which any authenticating agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or other entity resulting from any merger, consolidation or conversion to which any authenticating agent shall be a party, or any corporation or other entity succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of any authenticating agent, shall be the successor of the authenticating agent hereunder, if such successor corporation or other entity is otherwise eligible under this Section 17.10, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the parties hereto or the authenticating agent or such successor corporation or other entity.
Any authenticating agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any authenticating agent by giving written notice of termination to such authenticating agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time any authenticating agent shall cease to be eligible under this Section 17.10, the Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor authenticating agent (which may be the Trustee), shall give written notice of such appointment to the Company and shall mail notice of such appointment to all Holders as the names and addresses of such Holders appear on the Note Register.
The Company agrees to pay to the authenticating agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services although the Company may terminate the authenticating agent, if it determines such agent’s fees to be unreasonable.
The provisions of Section 7.02, Section 7.03, Section 7.04, Section 8.03 and this Section 17.10 shall be applicable to any authenticating agent.
If an authenticating agent is appointed pursuant to this Section 17.10, the Notes may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

[FORM OF REVERSE OF NOTE]
COLONY CAPITAL OPERATING COMPANY, LLC
5.75% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2025
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the Company, designated as its 5.75% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2025 (the “Notes”), limited to the aggregate principal amount of $300,000,000 all issued or to be issued under and pursuant to an Indenture dated as of July 21, 2020 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the REIT and The Bank of New York Mellon (the “Trustee”), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company, the REIT and the Holders of the Notes. Additional Notes may be issued in an unlimited aggregate principal amount, subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture. Capitalized terms used in this Note and not defined in this Note shall have the respective meanings set forth in the Indenture.
In case certain Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of, and interest on, all Notes may be declared, by either the Trustee or Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding, and upon said declaration shall become, due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions and certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture.
Subject to the terms and conditions of the Indenture, the Company will make all payments and deliveries in respect of the Fundamental Change Purchase Price on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date, the Redemption Price on any Redemption Date and the principal amount on the Maturity Date, as the case may be, to the Holder who surrenders a Note to a Paying Agent to collect such payments in respect of the Note. The Company will pay cash amounts in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts.
The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company, the REIT and the Trustee in certain circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of the Notes, and in certain other circumstances, with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding, evidenced as in the Indenture provided, to execute supplemental indentures modifying the terms of the Indenture and the Notes as described therein. It is also provided in the Indenture that, subject to certain exceptions, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Notes waive any past Default or Event of Default under the Indenture and its consequences.
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay or deliver, as the case may be, the principal (including the Redemption Price and the Fundamental Change Purchase Price, if applicable) of, accrued and unpaid interest on, and the consideration due upon exchange of, this Note at the place, at the respective times, at the rate and in the lawful money herein prescribed.


Exh A-7





The Notes are issuable in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 principal amount and integral multiples thereof. At the office or agency of the Company referred to on the face hereof, and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the Indenture, Notes may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of other authorized denominations, without payment of any service charge but, if required by the Company or Trustee, with payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer or similar tax that may be imposed in connection therewith as a result of the name of the Holder of the new Notes issued upon such exchange of Notes being different from the name of the Holder of the old Notes surrendered for such exchange.
The Notes shall be redeemable at the Company’s option in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the Indenture.
Upon the occurrence of a Fundamental Change, the Holder has the right, at such Holder’s option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash all of such Holder’s Notes or any portion thereof (in principal amounts of $1,000 or integral multiples thereof) on the Fundamental Change Purchase Date at a price equal to the Fundamental Change Purchase Price.
Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder hereof has the right, at its option, during certain periods and upon the occurrence of certain conditions specified in the Indenture, prior to the Close of Business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Maturity Date, to exchange any Notes or portion thereof that is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof, for shares of Common Stock, together with cash in lieu thereof in respect of any fractional shares, at the Exchange Rate specified in the Indenture, as adjusted from time to time as provided in the Indenture.
In addition to the rights provided to Holders of Notes under the Indenture, Holders shall have all the rights set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement dated as of July 21, 2020, among the Company, the REIT and the Initial Purchasers named therein.

(c)    CCOC and Buyer shall promptly advise the other upon receiving (i) any communication from any Governmental Authority whose consent or approval (including the Colony FCA Approval or the Wafra FCA Approval, as applicable) is required to bring about the consummation of the Post-Closing Restructuring that causes such Party to believe that there is a reasonable likelihood that any approval required of any Governmental Authority to consummate the Post-Closing Restructuring will not be obtained or that the receipt of any such approval will be materially delayed; and (ii) knowledge of the commencement of, or threat of commencement of, any proceeding brought by any Governmental Authority with respect to the Colony FCA Approval or the Wafra FCA Approval, as applicable, and/or the Post-Closing Restructuring.

61

LA_LAN01:362972.20



(x) sell, divest or dispose of any assets or businesses that it holds apart from the transactions contemplated by this agreement, (y) agree to actions or restrictions relating to the assets or businesses of Buyer or its Affiliates to the extent those assets and businesses do not involve interstate commerce in the United States, or (z) otherwise adopt conditions or restrictions that would reasonably be expected to frustrate the Buyer’s ability to receive NFRE with respect to the Digital Colony Business (subject to such NFRE being distributable to Buyer pursuant to the A&R DCMH Agreement).
(iv)    Nothing in this Section 7.8(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement shall require any of CCOC, Colony Capital, any other members of the Colony Capital Group or the Digital Colony Companies (collectively, the “DCP Parties”) to agree, as a condition of obtaining the CFIUS Approval to: (A) take or agree to take any action with respect to (1) the DCP Parties or their respective Affiliates, including any direct or indirect or pending (as of the date of this Agreement) investment funds or portfolio companies of investment funds advised or managed by one or more of the DCP Parties or their respective Affiliates, including selling, divesting, conveying, holding separate, or otherwise limiting its freedom of action with respect to any assets, rights, products, licenses, businesses, operations, or interest therein, of any DCP Party or any such Affiliates or any direct or indirect or pending (as of the date of this Agreement) investment funds or portfolio companies of investment funds advised or managed by one or more of the DCP Parties or their respective Affiliates, or (2) the selling, divesting, conveying or holding separate with respect to any assets, rights, products, licenses, businesses, operations, or interests therein, of any of the DCP Parties in more than a de minimis respect; or (B) be required to accept or agree to a Burdensome Condition.

In such event, the Parties hereto shall cooperate and use their reasonable best efforts to undergo alternate transactions to accomplish the same economic effects as the Contemplated Transactions with respect to Buyer’s right to receive Available Cash, as adjusted pursuant to its economic entitlements under the DCMH Investor Rights Agreement (including Section 3.4(a) thereof) and the A&R DCMH Agreement, without the need to obtain CFIUS Approval; provided, that if so requested by Wafra by written notice at least forty-five (45) days prior to the expiration of the Regulatory Decision Period, Colony Capital shall implement a revenue sharing arrangement with respect to the right of Buyer to receive Available Cash, as adjusted pursuant to its economic entitlements under the DCMH Investor Rights Agreement and the A&R DCMH Agreement that is substantially similar to the revenue sharing arrangement set forth in the Carried Interest Participation Agreement with respect to Carried Interest, it being agreed and understood that any alternate transaction (including any revenue sharing arrangement) shall be subject to any specific requirement of the DPA and CFIUS and applicable law. The Parties will enter into documentation implementing such arrangement.

Each covenant or other agreement herein shall survive the Closing hereunder until performed in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a claim for indemnification under this Article VIII is delivered pursuant to Section 8.4 within the applicable survival period set forth above, such survival period shall be extended until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved.
Section 8.2    Result of Breach of Representation or Warranty; Indemnification.
(a)    Subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, from and after the Closing, CCOC shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Buyer Indemnitee for any Losses incurred or suffered by the Buyer Indemnitees to the extent resulting from or arising out of:
(i)    the breach of any representation or warranty contained in Article IV or Article V of this Agreement (which breach and any related Losses shall be determined without giving effect to any materiality, “Digital Colony Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualifier (other than the fourth and fifth uses of the term “material” in Section 5.15(c), each use of the term “material” in the definitions of “Digital Colony Business”, “Digital Colony Personnel”, “Digital Infrastructure” and “Material Contract” and the use of the term “Material Contract” itself));
(ii)    the breach of any covenant or agreement of CCOC or Colony Capital contained in this Agreement;
(iii)    (A) the Excluded Assets and (B) the Digital Bridge Acquisition Agreement; provided, that in the case of this clause (B), to the extent in respect of employment agreements and agreements related to Carried Interest such indemnification

63

LA_LAN01:362972.20



obligation shall be limited to Losses arising out of, relating to or in connection with the period prior to the date hereof;
(iv)    any liabilities or obligations (x) for any Taxes imposed (regardless of when imposed) on or with respect to, or incurred by or with respect to, any Digital Colony Company or any Digital Colony Fund (including any Taxes or other amounts imposed under the Partnership Audit Rules), in each case, that is attributable to any taxable period beginning on or before and ending on or before the Closing Date (or, for any period beginning before and ending after the Closing Date, liabilities and obligations for Taxes to the extent allocable to the portion of such period beginning on or before and ending on the Closing Date), (y) for any Taxes of a Person (other than a Digital Colony Company) for which any Digital Colony Company becomes liable (A) as a result of such Digital Colony Company being a member of an affiliated, consolidated, combined, unitary or similar group for Tax purposes prior to the Closing, or (B) as a result of transferor or successor liability, as a result of the operation of Law or by Contract or assumption or otherwise, in each case as a result of a transaction or event occurring prior to the Closing, or (z) for the payment of any amounts as a result of any Digital Colony Company or Digital Colony Fund entering into or being a party to any Tax Sharing Agreement prior to the Closing or as a result of any express or implied obligation to indemnify any other Person with respect to the payment of any amounts described in this clause (iv) of this Section 8.2(a), whether disputed or not; or
(v)    any Proceeding initiated or maintained by or on behalf of an equity holder of Colony Capital in connection with or related to entering into the Contemplated Transactions except to the extent such Proceeding is based on facts, circumstances or events arising from the actual fraud of the Buyer Indemnitees. The foregoing exception shall not apply to, and indemnification shall be available for, any Proceeding against any Buyer Indemnitee to the extent such Proceeding is based on a theory that such Buyer Indemnitee aided and abetted or conspired with Colony Capital or any of its Affiliates, or is jointly, derivatively or secondarily liable with any Colony Capital or any of its Affiliates.
In calculating the amount of Losses suffered by the Buyer Indemnitees for purposes of Section 8.2(a), and subject to the other limitations set forth in this Article VIII, such Losses will take into account the Buyer’s interest in DCMH (including for determining the amount of Losses suffered by Buyer as a result of adverse consequences to CCOC or Colony Capital in connection with any applicable breach and in respect of any indemnification payments to the Buyer Indemnitees made by CCOC).
(b)    Subject to the other provisions of this Article VIII, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of CCOC and Colony Capital and their respective Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, stockholders, members, partners, agents, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (the “Digital Colony Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by the Digital Colony Indemnitees to the extent arising from or arising out of (c) the breach of any representation or warranty contained in Article VI of this Agreement (which breach and any related Losses shall be

64

LA_LAN01:362972.20



determined without giving effect to any materiality or similar qualifier) or (d) the breach of any covenant or agreement of Buyer contained in this Agreement.
Section 8.3    Limitations.
(a)    No Buyer Indemnitee will assert any claim (each an “Indemnity Claim”) for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) until such time that the aggregate amount of Losses exceeds $1,500,000 (the “Deductible”) (except (i) in the case of actual fraud or (ii) with respect to any Fundamental Representation, with respect to which the Deductible shall be deemed to be zero), in which case such Buyer Indemnitee will be entitled to recover all Losses in excess of the applicable Deductible. CCOC’s aggregate liability in respect of any indemnification obligation for Losses under Section 8.2(a)(i) shall not exceed an amount equal to $1,901,812.50 less the Deductible (the “CCOC Retention”) (except (x) no limit shall apply in the case of actual fraud, (y) in respect of any Indemnity Claim pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) for which coverage is not obtained under the Buyer Insurance Policy as a result of (I) in the case of a breach or inaccuracy of any Compliance with Law Representation or Fundamental Representation, such claim having been rejected due to the fact that the policy limit under the Buyer Insurance Policy has been reached, (II) in the case of a breach or inaccuracy of any Fundamental Representation, the Buyer Insurance Policy having expired or (III) in case of any representation set forth in Article IV or Article V, coverage being denied under the Buyer Insurance Policy as a result of a Specified Exclusion, in each case, CCOC shall provide indemnification in respect of such Indemnity Claim up to the Supplemental Indemnification Hurdle and (z) CCOC shall provide the applicable CCOC Supplemental Indemnification in respect of breaches of any Fundamental Representation (with respect to which the Deductible shall be deemed to be zero) or Compliance with Law Representation, as described below). To the extent the Buyer Indemnitees have incurred Losses in excess of the sum of the applicable Deductible, the CCOC Retention and twenty percent (20%) of the Total Cap (such sum being referred to as the “Supplemental Indemnification Hurdle”) (A) with respect to breaches or inaccuracies of the Compliance with Law Representation, CCOC shall provide indemnification for Losses that are in excess of the Supplemental Indemnification Hurdle and that are less than or equal to the difference between (1) 50% of the Total Cap minus (2) any indemnification previously provided by CCOC to the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to clause (B) of this sentence minus (3) the Contingent Indemnification Amount, if any minus (4) any indemnification previously provided by CCOC pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i) of the Carry Investment Agreement (the “Compliance with Law Cap”) and (B) with respect to breaches or inaccuracies of any Fundamental Representation, CCOC shall provide indemnification for Losses that are in excess of the Supplemental Indemnification Hurdle and that are less than or equal to the difference between (1) the Total Cap minus (2) any indemnification previously provided by CCOC to the Buyer Indemnitees pursuant to clause (A) of this sentence minus (3) the Contingent Indemnification Amount, if any minus (4) any indemnification previously provided by CCOC pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i) of the Carry Investment Agreement (the indemnification obligations described in clauses (A) and (B), each a “CCOC Supplemental Indemnification”). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, CCOC’s aggregate liability in respect of any obligation for Losses under Section 8.2(a) (except in the case of actual fraud, or Section 8.2(a)(iii), (iv) or (v)), shall not exceed an amount equal to the Wafra Investment Amount (without taking into account any reduction pursuant to Section 8.3(f)) (the “Total Cap”) minus any indemnification previously provided by CCOC pursuant to Section 6.2(a) of the Carry Investment Agreement. For purposes of calculating the Supplemental

65

LA_LAN01:362972.20



Indemnification Hurdle, indemnification previously provided by CCOC pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i) of the Carry Investment Agreement shall be deemed Losses.
(b)    No Digital Colony Indemnitee will assert any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(i) until such time that the aggregate amount of (i) Losses and (ii) indemnification previously provided by W-Catalina (C) LLC pursuant to Section 6.2(b) of the Carry Investment Agreement for breach or inaccuracy of the W-Catalina (C) Non-Fundamental Representations exceeds the Deductible (except in the case of actual fraud or in respect of breaches of any Buyer Fundamental Representation, with respect to which the Deductible shall not apply), in which case such Digital Colony Indemnitee will be entitled to recover all Losses in excess of the Deductible. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Buyer’s aggregate liability (A) in respect of any obligation for Losses under Section 8.2(b)(i) and indemnification previously provided by W-Catalina (C) LLC pursuant to Section 6.2(b)(i) of the Carry Investment Agreement for breach or inaccuracy of the W-Catalina (C) Non-Fundamental Representations shall not exceed an amount equal to 20% of the Total Cap (except in the case of actual fraud or in respect of breaches of any Buyer Fundamental Representation) and (B) in respect of any obligation for Losses under Section 8.2(b) and any indemnification previously provided by W-Catalina (C) LLC pursuant to Section 6.2(b) of the Carry Investment Agreement (except in the case of actual fraud), shall not exceed an amount equal to the Total Cap.
(c)    The amount of any indemnification payable under this Article VIII in respect of a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 shall be reduced by an amount equal to the proceeds actually received by a Buyer Indemnitee or Digital Colony Indemnitee, as applicable, under any insurance policy (other than the Buyer Insurance Policy which is addressed in Section 8.3(d)) or from any third party in respect of such claim less all actual and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Buyer Indemnitee or Digital Colony Indemnitee in connection with obtaining such insurance proceeds or third-party recovery (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, any deductible, any retention, any retroactive premium adjustment on the account of, or arising from, such claim or Losses, and the present value of any increases in insurance premiums on the account of or arising from such claim or Losses, or the cost of cancellation of such insurance policy and any increased costs for any replacement policy). Each Buyer Indemnitee and Digital Colony Indemnitee shall use its, his or her commercially reasonable efforts to pursue any insurance recovery (other than under the Buyer Insurance Policy which is addressed in Section 8.3(d)) or third-party recovery available to it with respect to any Loss for which such Buyer Indemnitee or Digital Colony Indemnitee seeks indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII (including during the period following any payment to such Buyer Indemnitee in respect of such indemnification); provided, that the possibility that insurance proceeds may be realized by such Buyer Indemnitee or Digital Colony Indemnitee shall not delay payment or indemnification of such Losses by the Party against whom indemnification is sought pursuant to this Article VIII. If any Person has paid an amount in discharge of any Indemnity Claim and the indemnified Person recovers from an insurance policy (other than the Buyer Insurance Policy which is addressed in Section 8.3(d)) or from a third party a sum which indemnifies or compensates such Person in respect of the Losses which are the subject matter of such claim, such Person shall pay to the Indemnifying Party as soon as practicable after receipt thereof an amount equal to the lower of (i) the amount actually received by such Person from the Indemnifying Party in respect of such claim and (ii) any sum recovered from the third party, in each case, less all reasonable out-of-pocket

66

LA_LAN01:362972.20



costs and expenses incurred by such Buyer Indemnitee or Digital Colony Indemnitee in connection with obtaining such insurance proceeds or third-party recovery and any Tax suffered thereon.
(d)    Except in the case of actual fraud, the CCOC Retention, the CCOC Supplemental Indemnification or the obligation to indemnify the Buyer Indemnitees as described in Section 8.3(a)(y), the Buyer Indemnitees’ sole source of recovery for any Indemnity Claim pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) shall be the Buyer Insurance Policy and not direct payment by any other Party to this Agreement. Buyer shall, and shall cause each other Buyer Indemnitee to use its, his or her commercially reasonable best efforts to, pursue any insurance recovery under the Buyer Insurance Policy with respect to any Loss for which such Buyer Indemnitee seeks indemnification pursuant to this Article VIII and Buyer shall and shall cause each such Buyer Indemnitee to take such action as may be reasonably requested by CCOC to pursue recovery under the Buyer Insurance Policy with respect to such Loss. Buyer shall submit any bona fide claims pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) to the insurer under the Buyer Insurance Policy so as to cause the retention to be satisfied, notwithstanding that such claim may not be in excess of the Deductible. Buyer shall provide any correspondence with the insurer under the Buyer Insurance Policy to CCOC concurrently if made by Buyer and promptly if received by Buyer; provided, that Buyer’s failure to provide copies of any such correspondence shall not affect the indemnification obligations of CCOC unless CCOC is actually materially prejudiced by failure to give such notice. CCOC will only be liable for the CCOC Supplemental Indemnification if such claim has first been submitted to the insurer under the Buyer Insurance Policy and (i) such claim has been rejected due to the fact that the policy limit under the Buyer Insurance Policy has been reached, (ii) the Buyer Insurance Policy has expired or (iii) coverage is denied under the Buyer Insurance Policy as a result of a Specified Exclusion. For the avoidance of doubt, claims need not be submitted to the insurer under the Buyer Insurance Policy if the applicable coverage period under the Buyer Insurance Policy has expired.
(e)    No Person shall be entitled to recover from an Indemnifying Party or any Affiliate thereof more than once with respect to the same Loss (i.e. no double-counting). For the avoidance of doubt, claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3 may be made based upon a liability which is contingent at the time such claim is made; provided, however, that no Person shall be entitled to recover with respect to any such claim unless and until such liability becomes an actual liability.
(f)    If any CCOC Supplemental Indemnification is paid prior to the date that the Contingent Consideration Amount is payable, the Contingent Consideration Amount is subsequently payable, and the amount of the applicable CCOC Supplemental Indemnification that would have been paid would have increased if the payment of the Contingent Consideration Amount had previously occurred (the amount of any such increase being the “Contingent Indemnification Amount”), then the Contingent Consideration Amount payable shall be reduced by the Contingent Indemnification Amount, which shall fully satisfy CCOC’s obligations with respect to the Contingent Consideration Amount.
Section 8.4    Claims Notice.
(a)    Except with respect to Third Party Claims covered by Section 8.4(b), any Buyer Indemnitee, Digital Colony Indemnitee or other indemnified party who is entitled to, and wishes to, make a claim for indemnification for a Loss pursuant to Section 8.2 (an “Indemnitee”)

67

LA_LAN01:362972.20



shall give written notice to each Person from whom such indemnification is being claimed (an “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after it acquires knowledge of the fact, event or circumstances giving rise to the claim for the Loss. The failure to make timely delivery of such notice shall not affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder, except to the extent such Indemnifying Party is actually materially prejudiced by failure to give such notice. Together with such written notice, the Indemnitee shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such material information and documents as the Indemnitee has in its possession regarding such claim and all material pertinent information in its possession regarding the amount of the Loss that it asserts it has sustained or incurred, including any limitations in this Article VIII that apply to such Loss. The Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such notice and such evidence to agree to the payment of the Loss to the Indemnitee, subject to such limitations. If the Indemnifying Party does not agree to the payment of the Loss within such 30-day period, then the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed not to have accepted the Loss and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to seek a resolution of such dispute within fifteen (15) days thereafter. If the dispute is not resolved through such negotiations, then (x) any dispute as to the value of the Loss (if the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing that such a Loss exists) will be resolved by an independent valuation firm of national standing (the “Valuation Firm”) jointly selected by the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party (and, if the Parties are unable to agree upon a Valuation Firm, then the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party shall each select an independent valuation firm of national standing, and the two (2) valuation firms so selected shall select a third (3rd) independent valuation firm of national standing to act as the Valuation Firm) and (y) any other dispute (including as to whether a Loss exists) shall be resolved in accordance with Section 9.11. The determination of the dispute by the Valuation Firm shall be final and binding on the Parties hereto, except in the case of manifest error or fraud. The costs of the Valuation Firm shall be allocated between the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party by the Valuation Firm in proportion to the extent that either of the Indemnitee or the Indemnifying Party did not prevail on the amount of the disputed Loss as submitted to the Valuation Firm. If the Indemnifying Party agrees to the payment of the Loss (subject to any limitations set forth in this Article VIII that apply to such Loss) within the 30-day period described above, then it shall, within ten (10) Business Days after such agreement, pay to the Indemnitee the amount of the Loss that is payable pursuant to, and subject to the limitations set forth in, this Article VIII.
(b)    If any claim or action at law or suit in equity is instituted by a third party against an Indemnitee (each, a “Third Party Claim”) with respect to which such Indemnitee is entitled to, and wishes to, make a claim for indemnification for a Loss under Section 8.2, then such Indemnitee shall promptly, and in any event promptly after such Indemnitee has knowledge of an assertion of liability from such third party, deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice describing, to the extent practicable, such matter in reasonable detail, including the estimated amount of the Losses that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnitee and any limitations in this Article VIII that apply to such Loss. The failure to make timely delivery of such written notice shall not affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder, except to the extent such Indemnifying Party is actually materially prejudiced by failure to give such timely notice. In any event, such delivery shall be accompanied by any material information and documents in such Indemnitee’s possession related to such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party may, subject to the other provisions of this Section 8.4, settle, compromise or defend, at such Indemnifying

68

LA_LAN01:362972.20



Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, any such matter involving the asserted liability of the Indemnitee in respect of the Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party shall elect to settle, compromise or defend such asserted liability, then it shall, within ten (10) Business Days after such election (or sooner, if the nature of the asserted liability so requires), notify the Indemnitee of its intention to do so and the Indemnitee shall cooperate to the fullest extent possible, at the request and reasonable expense of the Indemnifying Party, in the compromise of, or defense against, such asserted liability; provided, that no settlement or compromise of any Third Party Claim shall be made without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except where such settlement or compromise involves only the payment of money and the express, complete and unconditional release of any and all claims against the Indemnitee (and liabilities and obligations with respect thereto) and only to the extent that such money is paid by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not be released from any obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder with respect to such asserted claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, unless the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnitee a duly executed agreement settling or compromising such claim with no monetary liability to, or injunctive relief against, or other obligation of the Indemnitee. The Indemnifying Party shall have the sole right, except as provided below in this Section 8.4, to conduct and control the defense of any Third Party Claim. Subject to the following sentence, all costs and fees incurred with respect to any such claim shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in, at its own expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of any such Third Party Claim (and may control the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim only if the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume such control or is not permitted to assume such control pursuant to the terms of this Section 8.4); provided, that (A) if there exists a conflict or potential conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate, in the judgment of outside legal counsel to the Indemnitee, for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party, (B) such Third Party Claim (i) is brought by a Governmental Authority in connection with a criminal or regulatory Proceeding or (ii) primarily seeks (x) the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnitee or (y) a finding or admission of a violation of Law by the Indemnitee that would have an adverse effect on the Indemnitee other than as a result of monetary damages, (C) the amount in dispute exceeds the maximum amount for which an Indemnifying Party would reasonably be expected to be liable pursuant to this Article VIII in light of the limitations on indemnification herein, if applicable, or (D) if the Indemnifying Party fails to diligently and reasonably defend the Indemnitee, then the Indemnitee shall be entitled to retain one separate counsel of its own choosing(in addition to any necessary local counsel), and the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such separate counsel, which fees and expenses shall be reimbursed to the Indemnitee by the Indemnifying Party within thirty (30) days of a request therefor. If the Indemnifying Party shall choose to defend any claim, then the Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnifying Party any books, records or other documents within its direct control that relate to the defense of such matter, and cooperate in all reasonable ways with, and make its employees and advisors and other personnel available or otherwise render reasonable assistance to, the Indemnifying Party and its agents. The Indemnitee may not settle any Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if a majority of the aggregate amount of Losses arising from such settlement are to be indemnified by the Indemnifying Party under the terms of this Article VIII (or, if CCOC is the

69

LA_LAN01:362972.20



applicable Indemnifying Party, such Losses are being paid with proceeds from the Buyer Insurance Policy (other than with respect to any Losses (or portion thereof) within the retention under the Buyer Insurance Policy)).
(c)    The Indemnifying Parties shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitee in connection with Third Party Claims, including, if and as requested by the Indemnitee, by providing any documents or other information relevant to a claim for indemnification hereunder, making its directors, officers and other representatives reasonably available in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or compromise of any such claim, and assisting as necessary in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or compromise thereof.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent the procedures in this Section 8.4 are in conflict with the procedures in the Buyer Insurance Policy with regard to matters such as notice, control, settlement or defense of claims, the procedures in the Buyer Insurance Policy shall control, but this Section 8.4(d) shall not relieve any Buyer Indemnitee from its obligations under this Agreement with respect to CCOC. For the avoidance of doubt, each Party shall and shall cause its agents and advisors to reasonably cooperate with the insurer under the Buyer Insurance Policy in connection with the defense, compromise or settlement of any matter which might reasonably constitute a Loss. The insurer under the Buyer Insurance Policy shall have the right to participate in the defense and settlement of any Third Party Claim or other matter reasonably likely to be covered by the Buyer Insurance Policy to the extent so provided in the Buyer Insurance Policy.
Section 8.5    Exclusive Remedy. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement, other than in respect of (i) claims relating to actual fraud and (ii) the right to seek specific performance for a breach of a covenant or agreement to be performed by a Party hereto, the provisions of this Article VIII shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of the Parties with respect to any and all claims arising out of or in connection with a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 8.5 shall limit the right of any Party to bring or maintain any claim, action or proceeding for injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to the extent provided in Section 9.8.
Section 8.6    Tax Treatment. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, the Parties agree to treat any payment made pursuant to this Article VIII as an adjustment to the Management Interests Consideration Amount for all Tax purposes.
Section 8.7    Indemnity Payment. Any payment made by any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article VIII shall be made promptly (and in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days) following (a) settlement of any claim in accordance with Section 8.4, or (b) upon entry by a court of competent jurisdiction of a final and non-appealable judgment or order or judgment or order not timely appealed.
Section 8.8    Buyer Insurance Policy. Buyer agrees that it shall not amend the terms of the Buyer Insurance Policy in a manner adverse to CCOC without the prior written consent of CCOC.

This Agreement may not be amended, altered or modified except by written instrument executed by the Wafra Representative and the Digital Colony Representative. The failure by any Party hereto to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of any such provision nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of such Party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of or non-compliance with this Agreement shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or non-compliance. The observance of any provision of this Agreement may be waived in writing by the Party that will lose the benefit of such provision as a result of such waiver.
Section 9.2    Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Schedules and any documents executed by the Parties simultaneously herewith or pursuant hereto, including the Ancillary Agreements, constitute the entire understanding and agreement of the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior understandings or agreements, whether oral or written (including the Confidentiality Agreement) among the Parties with respect to such subject matter.

Section 9.8    Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage may occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Parties agree that, in addition to any other remedies, each Party shall be entitled to seek to enforce the terms of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy. Each Party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. Each Party further agrees that no such Party shall oppose the granting of an injunction or specific performance as provided herein on the basis that any other Party has an adequate remedy at law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.
Section 9.9    No Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall not confer any rights or remedies upon any Person other than the Parties, the Buyer Indemnitees (solely in their capacity as indemnified parties hereunder) and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

Nothing herein shall affect the right of any Person to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions in (a) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, or (b) the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an

Annex A

CONVERTIBLE PREFERRED INTERESTS

Section 1. Convertible Preferred Interests.
(a)Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, upon receiving CFIUS Approval, the Convertible Preferred Interests shall automatically convert into Common Interests (the “Conversion”) as if Buyer held such Common Interests from the Closing. Promptly following the Conversion, DCMH shall update its books and records to reflect the applicable Specified Percentage of Buyer in respect of the Common Interests held by it. For the avoidance of doubt, upon Conversion Buyer shall not be entitled to any portion of the accrued Preferred Dividend in excess of the distributions described in Section 1(c)(i) below.
(b)    Preferred Dividend. The “Preferred Dividend” on the Convertible Preferred Interests held by Buyer shall be an amount equal to the greater of (x) the amount the holders of the Convertible Preferred Interests would be entitled to receive pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(ii)(x) of the Limited Liability Company Agreement of DCMH as if such Preferred Units had been converted to Common Interests, and (y) an annual dividend equal to the product of (i) 10% and (ii) the Convertible Preferred Interests Consideration Amount, accruing simple interest daily and payable quarterly in arrears commencing on the date hereof, calculated on the basis of a 365 (or 366 as the case may be) day year.
(c)    Distributions. Distributions with respect to the Convertible Preferred Interests shall be made in accordance with Section 7.2(a) of the A&R DCMH Agreement.
(d)    CFIUS Approval Redemption Right. If CFIUS Approval is not obtained prior to the expiration of the Regulatory Decision Period, then, at any time during the forty-five (45) day period following the end of the Regulatory Decision Period, DCMH shall have the right to redeem all of the Purchased Interests by written notice to the Buyer (the “CFIUS Redemption Right”) for an amount in cash equal to (i) the Wafra Investment Amount, plus (ii) the Preferred Dividend, minus (iii) any distributions received (including Preferred Dividends or under the Carried Interest Participation Agreement, but not in respect of the Sponsor Commitments or Identified Sponsor Commitments), in each case, determined as of the CFIUS Redemption Date (the “CFIUS Redemption Amount”); provided that for purposes of determining the Preferred Dividend, in the event that the Regulatory Decision Period was extended from twelve (12) months to fifteen (15), the Preferred Dividend will be deemed to have not accrued during such three (3) month extension period. In the event that DCMH exercises the CFIUS Redemption Right, the Buyer shall have the right, exercisable by written notice to DCMH within thirty (30) days following receipt of the redemption notice referenced above, to cause DCMH to effect a redemption of any funded Sponsor Commitments or Identified Sponsor Commitments utilizing the NAV of the Digital Colony Funds for the most recent fiscal quarter, and taking into account any contributions or distributions made between the date of such NAV and the closing date of the redemption of such Sponsor Commitments and Identified Sponsor Commitments, in which case such amount shall be added to the CFIUS Redemption Amount. The redemptions contemplated herein and the payment of the CFIUS Redemption Amount shall occur no less than thirty-one (31), and no more than one hundred





LA_LAN01:362972.20



twenty (120) days from delivery of the notice of redemption referenced above (such applicable date, “CFIUS Redemption Date”). In the event that the CFIUS Redemption Amount is not paid in cash on the CFIUS Redemption Date, the redemption transactions will either be unwound and will be deemed to have never occurred or the CFIUS Redemption Amount shall accrue interest daily at a rate of 10%, compounding quarterly, until such time that the CFIUS Redemption Amount plus all accrued interest is paid in full. For the avoidance of doubt, (1) if the CFIUS Redemption Right is not exercised, then the Convertible Preferred Interests shall remain outstanding unless the CFIUS Approval is subsequently obtained and will be entitled to the distributions set forth in Section 7.2(a) of the A&R DCMH Agreement and (2) if the CFIUS Redemption Right is exercised and such redemption is consummated, the Carried Interest Participation Agreement and the Warrants shall automatically terminate without the taking of any further action. In connection with the CFIUS Redemption Right, Buyer shall enter into appropriate agreements containing customary representations and warranties with respect to its due organization, authority and free and clear title of the relevant interests and other appropriate terms.
Section 2.
(a)    Liquidation Preference. If, prior to the Conversion, a Liquidation Event occurs, DCMH shall cause Buyer to be paid, and Buyer shall be entitled to receive, a payment, in priority to any distribution to any other Person, equal to:
(i)    in respect of Buyer’s Convertible Preferred Interests in DCMH, the Convertible Preferred Interests Consideration Amount, plus (1) the Preferred Dividend, minus (2) all distributions paid in respect of the Convertible Preferred Interests (the payment described in this clause (i), the “Liquidation Preference”).
(b)    Payment. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding any provision to the contrary, any payment made or caused to be made to Buyer with respect to the Convertible Preferred Interests in the event of a Liquidation Event shall be made prior to and in preference to any liquidating distribution or other payment to the Common Interests. After payment of the full amount of the Liquidation Preference to which Buyer is entitled with respect to the Convertible Preferred Interests, Buyer, as the holder of the applicable Convertible Preferred Interests, will have no right or claim to any of the remaining assets of DCMH.
(c)    Notice. Written notice of any Liquidation Event, stating the payment date or dates when, and the place or places where, the Liquidation Preference shall be payable, shall be given by DCMH to the Wafra Representative not less than fifteen (15) nor more than thirty (30) days prior to the payment date stated therein, with respect to Buyer’s Convertible Preferred Interests.
Section 3. Construction. In the event of any inconsistency between the Organizational Documents of DCMH and the terms of this Annex, the terms of the Organizational Documents of DCMH shall prevail. Capitalized terms used in this Annex but not defined therein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Investment Agreement.

(a)    Buyer and each of its Affiliates has maintained and complied with adequate “know your customer” and money laundering reporting procedures, and procedures for detecting and identifying money laundering, and detecting, identifying and reporting suspicions of money laundering to the appropriate regulators, designed to comply with applicable Law, except in each case as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the Digital Colony Business or materially impair or materially delay the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions. To the actual knowledge of the Buyer, within the last four (4) years, none of Buyer or any of its Affiliates has been subject to any enforcement or supervisory action by any Governmental Authority because such procedures were considered to be inadequate by such regulator and no such enforcement or supervisory action is pending, or to the actual knowledge of the Buyer, threatened.

(c)    For the past four (4) years, none of Buyer or any Affiliate of the Buyer, or to the actual knowledge of Buyer, any employee, officer, director, partner, member, agent, or Affiliate of, Buyer has taken any action which would cause it to be in violation of the Anti-Corruption Laws. To the knowledge of Buyer, there is not now, and for the past four (4) years there has not been, any employment by any Buyer or Affiliate of Buyer of, or any beneficial ownership in Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer by, any governmental or political official in any country in the world. To the knowledge of Buyer, except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to be material to the Digital Colony Business or materially impair or materially delay the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, none of Buyer or any of Affiliate of Buyer, and no employee, officer, director, partner, member, agent, or Affiliate of any of them, has within the past four (4) years, made, offered to make or promised to make any payments of money or other thing of value to any entities in which any governmental or political official in any country in the world has or had a direct or indirect interest.
Section 4.7    Brokers and Finders. Other than BofA Securities, Inc., no broker, finder or financial advisor is, or will be, entitled to any broker’s commission, finder’s fee or similar payment in connection with the Contemplated Transactions based upon arrangements made by or on behalf of Buyer.

Section 4.8    No Other Representations or Warranties; Non-Reliance. Except for the representations and warranties expressly contained in this Article IV or any representations and warranties of the Buyer or its Affiliates contained in the Ancillary Agreements, neither Buyer nor any other Person makes any other express or implied representation or warranty on behalf of itself or any of Buyer’s Affiliates. Buyer and its Affiliates have not relied on any express or implied representations or warranties regarding Colony Capital, CCOC or any Digital Colony Company or Digital Colony Fund other than the representations and warranties of contained in Article III or the Ancillary Agreements. Buyer (for itself and on behalf of its Affiliates) hereby: (i) specifically acknowledges and agrees that, except for the representations and warranties contained in Article III or the Ancillary Agreements, none of Colony Capital or CCOC, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any other Person is making and has not made any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, at law or in equity, in respect of Colony Capital, CCOC or any Digital Colony Company or Digital Colony Fund, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses, assets, liabilities, operations, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise), including with respect to merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose of any assets, the nature or extent of any liabilities, the prospects of the business, or the effectiveness or the success of any operations; (ii) specifically and irrevocably disclaims that Buyer is relying upon or has relied upon any such other representations or warranties that may have been made by any Person and acknowledges and agrees that each of Colony Capital and CCOC (for itself and on behalf of its Subsidiaries) hereby specifically disclaims any such other representation or warranty made by any Person; (iii) specifically and irrevocably disclaims any obligation or duty by each of Colony Capital, CCOC or any Digital Colony Company or Digital Colony Fund or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any other Person to make any disclosures of fact not required to be disclosed by the representations and warranties contained in Article III or the Ancillary Agreements; and (iv) specifically acknowledges and agrees that Buyer is entering into this Agreement subject only to the representations and warranties contained in Article III and the Ancillary Agreements and the other agreements expressly set forth in this Agreement; provided, that for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 4.8 shall waive or restrict such Person’s right to assert a claim of actual fraud in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
ARTICLE V
COVENANTS
Section 5.1    Announcement. Except for any disclosure which is required pursuant to applicable Law (including securities Laws) or obligations pursuant to any listing agreement with or rules of any national securities exchange (provided, that the Party proposing to issue any press release or similar public announcement or communication in compliance with any such disclosure obligations shall use commercially reasonable efforts to consult in good faith with the other Parties before doing so), each of the Parties hereto shall not, and shall cause its respective Controlled Affiliates and its and its Controlled Affiliates’ respective officers, directors, employees, and agents not to, issue any press release or other similar public announcement or communication divulging the existence of this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions without the prior written consent of the Wafra Representative and the Digital Colony Representative, which consent shall in each case not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, that the Parties hereby agree

15



to file the initial joint press release relating to the Contemplated Transactions set forth in the DCMH Investment Agreement. A list of agreements that Colony Capital will file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement, is set forth in the DCMH Investment Agreement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7.1, Colony Capital may make any public statements in response to questions by the press, analysts, investors or those attending industry conferences or analyst or investor conference calls, so long as such statements are not inconsistent with previous statements made by any Party hereunder or otherwise permitted to be made pursuant hereto.
Section 5.2    Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, each of the Parties hereto agrees to pay the costs and expenses (on a pre-closing basis) incurred by it in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements and the consummation of the Contemplated Transactions, including the fees and expenses of counsel to, and other representatives of, such Party (collectively, “Transaction Expenses”); provided, that notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements to the contrary, CCOC covenants and agrees that neither Buyer nor any Wafra Entity shall directly or indirectly bear any portion of the Transaction Expenses incurred or reimbursed by any Digital Colony Company (or any Managing Director or other Person on behalf of the Digital Colony Companies) by virtue of Buyer’s ownership of the Purchased Rights.
Section 5.3    Further Assurances. Each Party to this Agreement agrees to execute such documents and other papers and use its reasonable efforts to perform or cause to be performed such further acts as are necessary to carry out the provisions contained in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Following the Closing, upon the reasonable request of any Party, the other Parties agree to promptly execute and deliver such further instruments of assignment, transfer, conveyance, endorsement, direction or authorization and other documents as may be reasonably requested to the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements.
Section 5.4    Tax Matters.
(a)    CCOC shall give effect to the transactions contemplated by Section 2.1 as of the Closing Date, and shall allocate pursuant to Section 706 of the Code (and the Treasury Regulations thereunder) between the Buyer and the other partners of NewCo (Carry) based on an interim closing of the books as of the Closing Date, all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit attributable to the taxable year of NewCo (Carry) in which the Closing Date occurs.
(b)    Transfer Taxes. CCOC, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall each be liable for fifty percent (50%) of any Transfer Taxes incurred in connection with this Agreement and the Contemplated Transactions and shall timely pay such Transfer Taxes. Any Tax Returns that must be filed in connection with Transfer Taxes shall be prepared and filed by the Party primarily or customarily responsible under applicable Law for filing such Tax Returns, and such party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to provide such Tax Returns to the other Parties at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the date such Tax Returns are due to be filed.
Section 5.5    Identified Sponsor Commitments. Buyer will acquire up to $70 million in the aggregate of limited partner commitments (the “Future Commitments”) to

16



(a) Fund II and (b) the initial Digital Colony commingled fund making credit investments relating to Digital Infrastructure, subject to (i) entry into a side letter substantially similar to the Purchaser Side Letter, (ii) the Buyer being presented with reasonable notice (and in no event less than twenty (20) days’ prior written notice) from time to time of the launch of such Digital Colony Funds, (iii) such Digital Colony Funds not being, in the reasonable judgment of the Wafra Representative, materially engaged or deriving more than a material portion of its revenues from (A) the operation of a gambling or gaming business or establishment, (B) the manufacturing or distribution of pornography, (C) the manufacturing of weapons, (D) the production of alcoholic beverages (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include restaurants, hotels, sports franchises and venues, theaters (including movie theaters), food distributors/retailers and theme parks where alcoholic beverages are sold, distributed or marketed (but not manufactured) in the ordinary course of business), (E) the processing and production of pork (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include restaurants, hotels, sports franchises and venues, theaters (including movie theaters), food distributors/retailers and theme parks where pork or pork products are sold, distributed or marketed (but not produced or processed) in the ordinary course of business), and (F) the manufacturing of tobacco (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall not include restaurants, retail or hotel businesses where tobacco is sold in the ordinary course of business), (iv) the Wafra Representative’s agreement to apportioning the Future Commitments between Fund II and such initial Digital Colony commingled fund making credit investments relating to Digital Infrastructure, (v) the making of $1 billion in aggregate commitments to Fund II and $200 million in aggregate commitments to such initial Digital Colony commingled fund making credit investments relating to Digital Infrastructure, in each case, inclusive of any applicable portion of Buyer’s Future Commitments and (vi) the acquisition of such commitments not causing a violation of applicable Law or material adverse Tax, regulatory or other consequences to any Wafra Entity or any Controlled Affiliate thereof (such Future Commitments, together with the commitments acquired pursuant to the Fund I Specified Investment Purchase Agreement, the “Identified Sponsor Commitments”)). In each case, the Future Commitments will be treated as affiliated commitments to the applicable Digital Colony Fund and will therefore not be charged fees or carried interest, as set forth in the definitive documentation in respect of the Identified Sponsor Commitments. The funding of any Identified Sponsor Commitments to an applicable Digital Colony Fund shall satisfy and offset the applicable portion of the obligations any Wafra Entity to fund Sponsor Commitments to such Digital Colony Fund pursuant to Section 4(a) of the Carried Interest Participation Agreement.
ARTICLE VI
SURVIVAL; POST-CLOSING OBLIGATIONS
Section 6.1    Expiration of Representations, Warranties and Covenants. All of the representations and warranties of CCOC and Colony Capital contained in this Agreement made at the Closing Date shall survive the Closing and shall terminate and expire, and shall cease to be of any force or effect, on the date that is sixty (60) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations. All of the representations and warranties of Buyer contained in Section 4.1, Section 4.2 and Section 4.7 (collectively, the “Buyer Fundamental Representations”) shall continue in full force and effect until the date that is sixty (60) days following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations and the representations contained in Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and 4.6 shall continue

17



in full force and effect until the twelve (12) month anniversary of the Closing Date. Each covenant or other agreement herein shall survive the Closing hereunder until performed in accordance with its terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a claim for indemnification under this Article VI is delivered pursuant to Section 6.4 within the applicable survival period set forth above, such survival period shall be extended until such time as such claim is fully and finally resolved.
Section 6.2    Result of Breach of Representation or Warranty; Indemnification.
(a)    Subject to the other provisions of this Article VI, from and after the Closing, CCOC shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each Buyer Indemnitee for any Losses incurred or suffered by the Buyer Indemnitees to the extent resulting from or arising out of:
(i)    the breach of any representation or warranty contained in Article III of this Agreement (which breach and any related Losses shall be determined without giving effect to any materiality, “Digital Colony Material Adverse Effect” or similar qualifier); and
(ii)    the breach of any covenant or agreement of CCOC or Colony Capital contained in this Agreement.
In calculating the amount of Losses suffered by the Buyer Indemnitees for purposes of Section 6.2(a)(ii), and subject to the other limitations set forth in this Article VI, such Losses will take into account the Buyer’s interest with respect to NewCo (Carry) (including for determining the amount of Losses suffered by Buyer as a result of adverse consequences to CCOC or Colony Capital in connection with any applicable breach and in respect of any indemnification payments to the Buyer Indemnitees made by CCOC).
(b)    Subject to the other provisions of this Article VI, Buyer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless each of CCOC and Colony Capital and their respective Affiliates and each of their respective directors, officers, employees, stockholders, members, partners, agents, representatives, successors and permitted assigns (the “Digital Colony Indemnitees”) from and against any and all Losses incurred or suffered by the Digital Colony Indemnitees to the extent arising from or arising out of (i) the breach of any representation or warranty contained in Article IV of this Agreement (which breach and any related Losses shall be determined without giving effect to any materiality or similar qualifier) or (ii) the breach of any covenant or agreement of Buyer contained in this Agreement.
Section 6.3    Limitations.
(a)    Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, CCOC’s aggregate liability in respect of any indemnification obligation for Losses under Section 6.2(a), (except in the case of actual fraud) shall not exceed the Total Cap. To the extent that the Buyer Indemnitees have incurred Losses, CCOC shall provide indemnification up to the Retention. To the extent the Buyer Indemnitees have incurred Losses in excess of the sum of the Retention and twenty percent (20%) of the Total Cap (such sum being referred to as the “Supplemental Indemnification Hurdle”), CCOC shall provide indemnification for Losses that are in excess of the Supplemental Indemnification Hurdle and that are less than or equal to the difference between (1) the Total Cap

18



minus (2) any indemnification previously provided by CCOC pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) and Section 8.2(a)(ii) of the DCMH Investment Agreement (such indemnification obligation, the “CCOC Supplemental Indemnification”); provided, the Supplemental Indemnification Hurdle shall be deemed to be zero in respect of Losses under Section 6.2(a)(i) for which coverage is denied under the Buyer Insurance Policy due to (x) a Specified Exclusion (y) the expiration of the Buyer Insurance Policy or (z) the fact that the policy limit under the Buyer Insurance Policy has been reached. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, CCOC’s aggregate liability in respect of any obligation for Losses under Section 6.2(a) (except in the case of actual fraud), shall not exceed an amount equal to the Total Cap minus any indemnification previously provided by CCOC pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) and Section 8.2(a)(ii) of the DCMH Investment Agreement. For purposes of calculating the Supplemental Indemnification Hurdle, indemnification previously provided by CCOC pursuant to Section 8.2(a)(i) of the DCMH Investment Agreement shall be deemed Losses.
(b)    No Digital Colony Indemnitee will assert any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2(b)(i) until such time that the aggregate amount of (i) Losses and (ii) indemnification previously provided by W-Catalina (S) LLC pursuant to Section 8.2(b)(i) of the DCMH Investment Agreement for breach or inaccuracy of the W-Catalina (S) Non-Fundamental Representations exceeds the Deductible (except in the case of actual fraud or in respect of breaches of any Buyer Fundamental Representation, with respect to which the Deductible shall not apply), in which case such Digital Colony Indemnitee will be entitled to recover all Losses in excess of the Deductible. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Buyer’s aggregate liability (A) in respect of any obligation for Losses under Section 6.2(b)(i) and indemnification previously provided by W-Catalina (S) LLC pursuant to Section 8.2(b) of the DCMH Investment Agreement for breach or inaccuracy of the W-Catalina (S) Non-Fundamental Representations shall not exceed an amount equal to 20% of the Total Cap (except in the case of actual fraud or in respect of breaches of any Buyer Fundamental Representation) and (B) in respect of any obligation for Losses under Section 6.2(b) and any indemnification previously provided by W-Catalina (S) LLC pursuant to Section 8.2(b) of the DCMH Investment Agreement (except in the case of actual fraud), shall not exceed an amount equal to the Total Cap.
(c)    The amount of any indemnification payable under this Article VI in respect of a claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2 shall be reduced by an amount equal to the proceeds actually received by a Buyer Indemnitee or Digital Colony Indemnitee, as applicable, under any insurance policy (other than the Buyer Insurance Policy which is addressed in Section 6.3(d)) or from any third party in respect of such claim less all actual and reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Buyer Indemnitee or Digital Colony Indemnitee in connection with obtaining such insurance proceeds or third-party recovery (including reasonable and documented out-of-pocket attorneys’ fees, any deductible, any retention, any retroactive premium adjustment on the account of, or arising from, such claim or Losses, and the present value of any increases in insurance premiums on the account of, or arising from, such claim or Losses or the cost of cancellation of such insurance policy and any increased costs for any replacement policy). Each Buyer Indemnitee and Digital Colony Indemnitee shall use its, his or her commercially reasonable efforts to pursue any insurance recovery (other than under the Buyer Insurance Policy which is addressed in Section 6.3(d)) or third-party recovery available to it with respect to any Loss for which such Buyer Indemnitee or Digital Colony Indemnitee seeks indemnification pursuant to

19



this Article VI (including during the period following any payment to such Buyer Indemnitee in respect of such indemnification); provided, that the possibility that insurance proceeds may be realized by such Buyer Indemnitee or Digital Colony Indemnitee shall not delay payment or indemnification of such Losses by the Party against whom indemnification is sought pursuant to this Article VI. If any Person has paid an amount in discharge of any claim for indemnification hereunder and the indemnified Person recovers from an insurance policy (other than the Buyer Insurance Policy which is addressed in Section 6.3(d)) or from a third party a sum which indemnifies or compensates such Person in respect of the Losses which are the subject matter of such claim, such Person shall pay to the Indemnifying Party as soon as practicable after receipt thereof an amount equal to the lower of (i) the amount actually received by such Person from the Indemnifying Party in respect of such claim and (ii) any sum recovered from the third party, in each case, less all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Buyer Indemnitee or Digital Colony Indemnitee in connection with obtaining such insurance proceeds or third-party recovery and any Tax suffered thereon.
(d)    Except in the case of actual fraud, Losses under Section 6.2(a)(i) for which coverage is denied under the Buyer Insurance Policy as a result of (x) a Specified Exclusion (y) the expiration of the Buyer Insurance Policy or (z) the fact that the policy limit under the Buyer Insurance Policy has been reached, the Retention or the CCOC Supplemental Indemnification, the Buyer Indemnitees’ sole source of recovery for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i) shall be the Buyer Insurance Policy and not direct payment by any other Party to this Agreement. Buyer shall, and shall cause each other Buyer Indemnitee to use its, his or her commercially reasonable best efforts to pursue any insurance recovery under the Buyer Insurance Policy with respect to any Loss for which such Buyer Indemnitee seeks indemnification pursuant to this Article VI and Buyer shall and shall cause each such Buyer Indemnitee to take such action as may be reasonably requested by CCOC to pursue recovery under the Buyer Insurance Policy with respect to such Loss. Buyer shall submit any bona fide claims pursuant to Section 6.2(a)(i) to the insurer under the Buyer Insurance Policy so as to cause the retention to be satisfied. Buyer shall provide any correspondence with the insurer under the Buyer Insurance Policy to CCOC concurrently if made by Buyer and promptly if received by Buyer; provided, that Buyer’s failure to provide copies of any such correspondence shall not affect the indemnification obligations of CCOC unless CCOC is actually materially prejudiced by failure to give such notice. CCOC will only be liable for the CCOC Supplemental Indemnification if such claim has first been submitted to the insurer under the Buyer Insurance Policy and (i) such claim has been rejected due to the fact that the policy limit under the Buyer Insurance Policy has been reached, (ii) the Buyer Insurance Policy has expired or (iii) coverage is denied under the Buyer Insurance Policy as a result of a Specified Exclusion. For the avoidance of doubt, claims need not be submitted to the insurer under the Buyer Insurance Policy if the applicable coverage period under the Buyer Insurance Policy has expired.
(e)    No Person shall be entitled to recover from an Indemnifying Party or any Affiliate thereof more than once with respect to the same Loss (i.e. no double-counting). For the avoidance of doubt, claims for indemnification pursuant to Section 6.2 may be made based upon a liability which is contingent at the time such claim is made; provided, however, that no Person shall be entitled to recover with respect to any such claim unless and until such liability becomes an actual liability.

20



Section 6.4    Claims Notice.
(a)    Except with respect to Third Party Claims covered by Section 6.4(b), any Buyer Indemnitee, Digital Colony Indemnitee or other indemnified party who is entitled to, and wishes to, make a claim for indemnification for a Loss pursuant to Section 6.2 (an “Indemnitee”) shall give written notice to each Person from whom such indemnification is being claimed (an “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after it acquires knowledge of the fact, event or circumstances giving rise to the claim for the Loss. The failure to make timely delivery of such notice shall not affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder, except to the extent such Indemnifying Party is actually materially prejudiced by failure to give such notice. Together with such written notice, the Indemnitee shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such material information and documents as the Indemnitee has in its possession regarding such claim and all material pertinent information in its possession regarding the amount of the Loss that it asserts it has sustained or incurred, including any limitations in this Article VI that apply to such Loss. The Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after receipt by the Indemnifying Party of such notice and such evidence to agree to the payment of the Loss to the Indemnitee, subject to such limitations. If the Indemnifying Party does not agree to the payment of the Loss within such 30-day period, then the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed not to have accepted the Loss and the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to seek a resolution of such dispute within fifteen (15) days thereafter. If the dispute is not resolved through such negotiations, then (x) any dispute as to the value of the Loss (if the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing that such a Loss exists) will be resolved by an independent valuation firm of national standing (the “Valuation Firm”) jointly selected by the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party (and, if the Parties are unable to agree upon a Valuation Firm, then the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party shall each select an independent valuation firm of national standing, and the two (2) valuation firms so selected shall select a third (3rd) independent valuation firm of national standing to act as the Valuation Firm) and (y) any other dispute (including as to whether a Loss exists) shall be resolved in accordance with Section 7.11. The determination of the dispute by the Valuation Firm shall be final and binding on the Parties hereto, except in the case of manifest error or fraud. The costs of the Valuation Firm shall be allocated between the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party by the Valuation Firm in proportion to the extent that either of the Indemnitee or the Indemnifying Party did not prevail on the amount of the disputed Loss as submitted to the Valuation Firm. If the Indemnifying Party agrees to the payment of the Loss (subject to any limitations set forth in this Article VI that apply to such Loss) within the 30-day period described above, then it shall, within ten (10) Business Days after such agreement, pay to the Indemnitee the amount of the Loss that is payable pursuant to, and subject to the limitations set forth in, this Article VI.
(b)    If any claim or action at law or suit in equity is instituted by a third party against an Indemnitee (each, a “Third Party Claim”) with respect to which such Indemnitee is entitled to, and wishes to, make a claim for indemnification for a Loss under Section 6.2, then such Indemnitee shall promptly, and in any event promptly after such Indemnitee has knowledge of an assertion of liability from such third party, deliver to the Indemnifying Party a written notice describing, to the extent practicable, such matter in reasonable detail, including the estimated amount of the Losses that have been or may be sustained by the Indemnitee and any limitations in this Article VI that apply to such Loss. The failure to make timely delivery of such written notice shall

21



not affect the Indemnifying Party’s obligations hereunder, except to the extent such Indemnifying Party is actually materially prejudiced by failure to give such timely notice. In any event, such delivery shall be accompanied by any material information and documents in such Indemnitee’s possession related to such Third Party Claim. The Indemnifying Party may, subject to the other provisions of this Section 6.4, settle, compromise or defend, at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, any such matter involving the asserted liability of the Indemnitee in respect of the Third Party Claim. If the Indemnifying Party shall elect to settle, compromise or defend such asserted liability, then it shall, within ten (10) Business Days after such election (or sooner, if the nature of the asserted liability so requires), notify the Indemnitee of its intention to do so and the Indemnitee shall cooperate to the fullest extent possible, at the request and reasonable expense of the Indemnifying Party, in the compromise of, or defense against, such asserted liability; provided, that no settlement or compromise of any Third Party Claim shall be made without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), except where such settlement or compromise involves only the payment of money and the express, complete and unconditional release of any and all claims against the Indemnitee (and liabilities and obligations with respect thereto) and only to the extent that such money is paid by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not be released from any obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee hereunder with respect to such asserted claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee, unless the Indemnifying Party shall deliver to the Indemnitee a duly executed agreement settling or compromising such claim with no monetary liability to, or injunctive relief against, or other obligation of the Indemnitee. The Indemnifying Party shall have the sole right, except as provided below in this Section 6.4, to conduct and control the defense of any Third Party Claim. Subject to the following sentence, all costs and fees incurred with respect to any such claim shall be borne by the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnitee shall have the right to participate in, at its own expense, the defense, compromise or settlement of any such Third Party Claim (and may control the defense, compromise or settlement of such Third Party Claim only if the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume such control or is not permitted to assume such control pursuant to the terms of this Section 6.4); provided, that (A) if there exists a conflict or potential conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate, in the judgment of outside legal counsel to the Indemnitee, for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnitee and the Indemnifying Party, (B) such Third Party Claim (i) is brought by a Governmental Authority in connection with a criminal or regulatory Proceeding or (ii) primarily seeks (x) the imposition of a consent order, injunction or decree that would restrict the future activity or conduct of the Indemnitee or (y) a finding or admission of a violation of Law by the Indemnitee that would have an adverse effect on the Indemnitee other than as a result of monetary damages, (C) the amount in dispute exceeds the maximum amount for which an Indemnifying Party would reasonably be expected to be liable pursuant to this Article VI in light of the limitations on indemnification herein, if applicable, or (D) if the Indemnifying Party fails to diligently and reasonably defend the Indemnitee, then the Indemnitee shall be entitled to retain one separate counsel of its own choosing (in addition to any necessary local counsel), and the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the reasonable and documented fees and expenses of such separate counsel, which fees and expenses shall be reimbursed to the Indemnitee by the Indemnifying Party within thirty (30) days of a request therefor. If the Indemnifying Party shall choose to defend any claim, then the Indemnitee shall make available to the Indemnifying Party any books, records or other documents within its direct control that relate to the defense of such matter, and cooperate in all reasonable ways with, and make its employees

22



and advisors and other personnel available or otherwise render reasonable assistance to, the Indemnifying Party and its agents. The Indemnitee may not settle any Third Party Claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) if a majority of the aggregate amount of Losses arising from such settlement are to be indemnified by the Indemnifying Party under the terms of this Article VI (or, if CCOC is the applicable Indemnifying Party, such Losses are being paid with proceeds from the Buyer Insurance Policy (other than with respect to any Losses (or portion thereof) within the retention under the Buyer Insurance Policy)).
(c)    The Indemnifying Parties shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnitee in connection with Third Party Claims, including, if and as requested by the Indemnitee, by providing any documents or other information relevant to a claim for indemnification hereunder, making its directors, officers and other representatives reasonably available in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or compromise of any such claim, and assisting as necessary in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement or compromise thereof.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, to the extent the procedures in this Section 6.4 are in conflict with the procedures in the Buyer Insurance Policy with regard to matters such as notice, control, settlement or defense of claims, the procedures in the Buyer Insurance Policy shall control, but this Section 6.4(d) shall not relieve any Buyer Indemnitee from its obligations under this Agreement with respect to CCOC. For the avoidance of doubt, each Party shall and shall cause its agents and advisors to reasonably cooperate with the insurer under the Buyer Insurance Policy in connection with the defense, compromise or settlement of any matter which might reasonably constitute a Loss. The insurer under the Buyer Insurance Policy shall have the right to participate in the defense and settlement of any Third Party Claim or other matter reasonably likely to be covered by the Buyer Insurance Policy to the extent so provided in the Buyer Insurance Policy.
Section 6.5    Exclusive Remedy. Except as may be otherwise specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement, other than in respect of (i) claims relating to actual fraud and (ii) the right to seek specific performance for a breach of a covenant or agreement to be performed by a Party hereto, the provisions of this Article VI shall be the sole and exclusive monetary remedy of the Parties with respect to any and all claims arising out of or in connection with a breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement in this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 6.5 shall limit the right of any Party to bring or maintain any claim, action or proceeding for injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief to the extent provided in Section 7.8.
Section 6.6    Tax Treatment. Except as otherwise required by applicable Law, the Parties agree to treat any payment made pursuant to this Article VI as an adjustment to the Participation Rights Consideration Amount for all Tax purposes.
Section 6.7    Indemnity Payment. Any payment made by any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnitee pursuant to this Article VI shall be made promptly (and in any event no later than ten (10) Business Days) following (a) settlement of any claim in accordance with Section 6.4, or (b) upon entry by a court of competent jurisdiction of a final and non-appealable judgment or order or judgment or order not timely appealed.

23



Section 6.8    Buyer Insurance Policy. Buyer agrees that it shall not amend the terms of the Buyer Insurance Policy in a manner adverse to CCOC without the prior written consent of CCOC.
ARTICLE VII
MISCELLANEOUS
Section 7.1    Amendments; Extension; Waiver. This Agreement may not be amended, altered or modified except by written instrument executed by the Wafra Representative and the Digital Colony Representative. The failure by any Party hereto to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of any such provision nor in any way to affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of such Party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of or non-compliance with this Agreement shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or non-compliance. The observance of any provision of this Agreement may be waived in writing by the Party that will lose the benefit of such provision as a result of such waiver.
Section 7.2    Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Schedules and any documents executed by the Parties simultaneously herewith or pursuant hereto, including the Ancillary Agreements, constitute the entire understanding and agreement of the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior understandings or agreements, whether oral or written (including the Confidentiality Agreement) among the Parties with respect to such subject matter.

To the extent any dilution permitted pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) is reversed in any manner, the applicable Interests of the Wafra Entities shall accrete but only to the extent of such prior dilution of the Interests.
(b)    Preemptive Rights on New Issuances.
(i)    New Issuances. If at any time any Digital Colony Management Party proposes to issue New Company Securities in exchange for cash, each Wafra Management Subscriber shall have the right to purchase such New Company Securities on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 3.3(b).

18

LA_LAN01:362977.13



to issue the same at least thirty five (35) days prior to the closing of the proposed sale of such New Company Securities.
(iii)    Preemptive Right. At any time following receipt of the Issue Notice until five (5) days prior to the closing date of the proposed sale as set forth in the Issue Notice (such period of time, the “Election Period”) after receipt of the Issue Notice, each Wafra Management Subscriber may, by giving written notice to the Digital Colony Representative, elect to purchase that number of New Company Securities proposed to be issued equal to (x) the total number of New Company Securities so proposed to be issued multiplied by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of Ownership Interests held by such Wafra Management Subscriber on an as-converted basis and the denominator of which is the total number of Ownership Interests held by all equityholders in the applicable Digital Colony Management Party, at the Issue Price and on the terms set forth in the Issue Notice (such number with respect to such Wafra Management Subscriber, its “Pro Rata Portion”). Prior to the Conversion, any calculation of the Ownership Interests held by the Wafra Management Subscribers shall be determined on as-converted basis assuming that the Convertible Preferred Interests held by the Wafra Management Subscriber have been converted into the Specified Percentage of the total outstanding Interests of the applicable Digital Colony Management Party.
(iv)    Purchase Price. The purchase price for the New Company Securities purchased by a Wafra Management Subscriber under this Section 3.3(b) shall be an aggregate amount in cash equal to the Issue Price multiplied by its Pro Rata Portion of the proposed issuance.
(v)    Payment. Payment of the amount calculated pursuant to Section 3.3(a)(iv) shall be made by the Wafra Management Subscriber paying such amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Digital Colony Representative, at the same times and in the same manner as the other participants in the applicable issuance.

In the event the Digital Colony Representative delivers the Issue Notice described in Section 3.3(b)(ii) and no Wafra Management Subscriber has elected to exercise its rights set forth in Section 3.3(b)(iii) within the Election Period, the Digital Colony Management Party proposing to issue New Company Securities pursuant to such Issue Notice will have one hundred twenty (120) days from the end of the Election Period to sell all such New Company Securities at a price and upon terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than the price and terms specified in the Issue Notice. In the event such Digital Colony Management Party has not sold all such New Company Securities within said one hundred twenty (120) day period, then such Digital Colony Management Party will not thereafter issue or sell any New Company Securities without first offering such New Company Securities to each Wafra Management Subscriber in the manner provided herein.
(vii)    Each Wafra Management Subscriber and each Colony Party shall cooperate in good faith to effect such transaction in such a manner so as to minimize any adverse legal, regulatory or tax consequences to such Wafra Management Subscriber

19

LA_LAN01:362977.13



and such Digital Colony Management Party and to minimize the Parties’ obligations to obtain any consents from a third party or Governmental Authority.
(viii)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a reasonable business need makes it impracticable to provide the Wafra Management Subscribers notice and implement the procedures required to be implemented hereunder in accordance with this Section 3.3(b), the Digital Colony Management Parties may issue and sell New Company Securities without first complying with the terms of this Section 3.3(b) as such business need and impracticability is determined by the Board; provided, that as promptly as reasonably practicable (and no later than thirty (30) days following such issuance or sale) (i) the purchasers of such New Company Securities shall offer to sell to each applicable Wafra Management Subscriber the portion of such purchased New Company Securities that equals such Wafra Management Subscriber’s Pro Rata Portion of such New Company Securities or (ii) the Digital Colony Management Parties shall offer to issue an incremental amount of New Company Securities to each Wafra Management Subscriber sufficient to constitute such Wafra Management Subscriber’s Pro Rata Portion of such New Company Securities had the Digital Colony Management Parties complied with this Section 3.3(b), in each case, at a purchase price no more, and on terms no less, favorable to such Wafra Management Subscribers than those applicable to such purchasers, using a process substantially similar to that set forth in this Section 3.3(b); provided, further, that any such New Company Securities issued or sold to a Wafra Management Subscriber pursuant to this Section 3.3(b)(viii) shall entitle such Wafra Management Subscribers to retroactively receive the economics with respect to such New Company Securities accruing from and after the date of the initial issuance.
(c)    Anti-Dilution Protection. Without limitation of the provisions set forth in Section 3.3(a) or Section 3.3(b), until July 17, 2022, each Wafra Management Subscriber’s Ownership Interest will be subject to anti-dilution protection on a full ratchet basis in connection with any issuances or secondary sales of Ownership Interests to any Third-Party Purchaser at a lower valuation than the implied valuation of such Ownership Interests as of the date of this Agreement as a result of the completion of the Contemplated Transactions, and the applicable Digital Colony Management Party shall take, and CCOC shall cause such Digital Colony Management Party to take, any action to afford such protection, including by way of example, (i) refunding in cash to such Wafra Management Subscriber the difference between the total price directly or indirectly paid by such Wafra Management Subscriber for its Ownership Interests and the total price paid by such third party (calculated as if such third party had purchased such Wafra Management Subscriber’s Ownership Interests for such price and taking into account such Wafra Management Subscriber’s Specified Percentage of the Ownership Interests) for the purchase by it of equity interests in the applicable Digital Colony Management Party, or (ii) equitably increasing such Wafra Management Subscriber’s Specified Percentages as if such Wafra Management Subscriber had purchased additional Ownership Interests at such lower valuation.
3.4.    Wafra Economic Rights.

(i)    The entirety of the Digital Colony Business that generates Fee Revenue and Balance Sheet Management Proceeds shall be owned by the Digital Colony Management Parties from and after the Closing, and after the Closing, Colony Capital, CCOC and the Digital Colony Companies shall (x) conduct (and shall take all actions within their control to cause personnel of the Colony Capital Group and Digital Colony Personnel to conduct) and participate in such aspects of the Digital Colony Business exclusively through the Digital Colony Management Parties, (y) at least once per calendar quarter, cause each Digital Colony Management Party to distribute its Available Cash to its respective equityholders until all such Available Cash have been received by DCMH and (z) be permitted to continue to own and operate the Excluded Assets.
(ii)    Except for the expense items and liabilities set forth in the definition of Available Cash (which shall include allocations of Operating Expenses of the Colony Capital Group to the Digital Colony Management Parties), Colony Capital and CCOC shall not permit, and shall take all actions within their control to prevent, any expenses, liabilities or obligations of the Colony Capital Group to be allocated as costs or assumed as liabilities or obligations by the Digital Colony Management Parties (or any other Digital Colony Company), including any expenses, liabilities or obligations in connection with or arising out of that certain Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of January 10, 2017 (as amended from time to time), by and between CCOC, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the several lenders from time to time party thereto. Except in respect of the applicable portions of Fee Revenue and Balance Sheet Management Proceeds in which the Wafra Management Subscribers do not participate with respect to (x) Excluded Assets as set forth above or (y) any Joint Venture Management Entity, Colony Capital and CCOC shall cause each Digital Colony Management Party and any current or future Entity that receives or is entitled to receive Fee Revenue or Balance Sheet Management Proceeds to be owned, directly or indirectly, 100% by DCMH. All cash of DCMH which is attributable to the Management Interests Consideration Amount shall be contributed to Special Reserve LLC and shall be used solely to make loans to one or more members of the Colony Capital Group; provided, that (A) any interest paid thereon shall immediately be distributed by Special Reserve LLC to DCMH and shall immediately thereafter be distributed by DCMH to each Member (as defined in the A&R DCMH Agreement) in proportion to their respective Special Percentage Interests (as defined in the A&R DCMH Agreement), (B) each such loan shall require interest to be paid solely in cash and shall be required to be fully repaid on or before the four (4) year anniversary of the date hereof (including any extensions) and (C) immediately following such repayment, an amount equal to 10% of the Management Interests Consideration Amount shall be distributed by Special Reserve LLC to DCMH and shall immediately thereafter be distributed by DCMH to the Wafra Management Subscriber. Colony Capital and CCOC shall cause any applicable member of the Colony Capital Group to repay all outstanding indebtedness or loans to Special Reserve LLC in accordance with the terms of such indebtedness or loans and each member of the Colony Capital Group shall be jointly and severally liable in respect of such indebtedness or loans. The Wafra Entities shall have rights, preferences and privileges with respect to any NFRE and Balance Sheet Management Proceeds or any aspect of the Digital Colony Business that is not conducted through the Digital Colony Management Parties (taking into account, as applicable, the

21

LA_LAN01:362977.13



adjustments set forth in the definition of Available Cash) that are identical to the rights, preferences and privileges that the Wafra Entities would have with respect to distributions of Available Cash by DCMH if any aspect of the Digital Colony Business were conducted through the Digital Colony Management Parties, except as otherwise expressly contemplated by this Section 3.4(a).
(iii)    Subject to the following sentence, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Colony Capital and CCOC shall be permitted, if required due to legal, tax or regulatory reasons, to conduct any part of the Digital Colony Business that generates Fee Revenue and Balance Sheet Management Proceeds outside of the Digital Colony Management Parties with the Wafra Representative’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed unless such conduct would be adverse to the Wafra Entities in which case such consent shall be in the Wafra Entities’ sole discretion (it being understood and agreed that, from and after the Closing Date until the completion of the Post-Closing Restructuring, Colony Capital and CCOC shall be permitted to conduct the operations of the DCMH UK Advisers Entities through CCDH and CDCM so long as no Available Cash from the DCMH UK Adviser Entities is distributed during such time). Colony Capital, CCOC and the Digital Colony Companies shall be jointly and severally liable to the extent of any breaches of this Section 3.4(a). Colony Capital and CCOC shall cause all new Digital Colony Personnel who devote all or substantially all of such person’s business time and attention to the Digital Colony Business (determined in the aggregate on a trailing twelve month basis) to be employed by the Digital Colony Companies. Any payments or recovery in connection with any such breaches by the Wafra Management Subscribers shall be grossed up to the extent necessary and appropriate to take into account the Ownership Interests held by the Wafra Management Subscribers at the time such amounts are paid or recovered such that the amount the Wafra Management Subscribers are entitled to receive in the aggregate would not be reduced due to ownership of the Ownership Interests.
(b)    To the extent that any Managing Director is terminated without Cause or otherwise terminates his employment with the Colony Capital Group with Good Reason, and within two (2) years of such termination, any member of the Colony Capital Group participates in a Competing Business of such Managing Director, then the Wafra Management Subscribers shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in such Competing Business and shall be entitled to their Specified Percentage (for this purpose, assuming that the Conversion has occurred) of the total NFRE and Balance Sheet Management Proceeds from such Competing Business and the Competing Business Rights, with such participation calculated in a manner consistent with the definition of Available Cash. The participation right set forth in this Section 3.4(b) shall be subject to the Wafra Management Subscribers bearing their pro rata share of all costs associated therewith and making any applicable portion of capital commitments as if such Competing Business were a Digital Colony Fund, with such portion to be ratably adjusted based on the applicable percentage of economic entitlements held by each participant in such Competing Business.
(c)    Reasonably promptly following the Closing, DCMH and the Wafra Management Subscriber may establish the Management Incentive Plan and thereafter, the Management Incentive Plan may not be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated without the prior written consent of the Wafra Representative. No other equity incentive or similar

22

LA_LAN01:362977.13



compensation plan may be established with respect to the Digital Colony Business without the prior written consent of the Wafra Representative. Vesting arrangements with respect to future Carried Interest grants to Managing Directors and Successors (i) will be substantially similar for any future Digital Colony Fund as such terms are agreed in respect of Digital Colony Fund II, consistent with the terms set forth on Schedule 3.4(c) and (ii) any changes to, or determination to waive or not to enforce, the terms of such vesting arrangements shall be subject to the prior written consent of the Wafra Representative.
SECTION 4

(a)    Transfers by Wafra Management Subscribers. The Wafra Management Subscribers (or other applicable Wafra Entity) shall not Transfer all or any portion of the Ownership Interests, Identified Sponsor Commitments or Sponsor Commitments without Digital Colony Consent (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed); provided, that Wafra Management Subscribers may effect the following Transfers of all or any portion of the Ownership Interests, Identified Sponsor Commitments or Sponsor Commitments without Digital Colony Consent: (i) subject to the relevant Wafra Management Subscribers’ compliance with the terms set forth in Section 4.1(d), Transfers made on or following July 17, 2025; (ii) Transfers to any Wafra Entity; (iii) Transfers in connection with a Wafra IPO of a broader portfolio of asset managers held by any Wafra Entity where the Ownership Interests owned by any Wafra Entity in such Wafra IPO comprise no more than 24.9% of such portfolio (as determined on a fair market value basis); (iv) Transfers in connection with an internal reorganization or similar transaction affecting any Wafra Entity; (v) Transfers made in connection with an in-kind distribution by a Wafra Management Subscriber to any direct or indirect partners, members or other equity holders thereof; (vi) Transfers in connection with any pledge, lien or other transfer related to a customary debt financing or any equity, preferred or structured equity financing of any Wafra Entity; (vii) Transfers as part of a Portfolio Sale; (viii) Transfers from and after the date of any Colony Change of Control, Colony Capital Bankruptcy or, to the extent that the Wafra Management Subscribers do not receive the exchange and registration rights contemplated by the first sentence of Section 4.8, a Specified Colony Asset Transaction; and (ix) a Transfer to a single Transferee and one or more of its Affiliates of an Ownership Interest representing up to 5.0% in the aggregate of the Ownership Interests as of the Closing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Digital Colony Consent shall be required in the event that such direct or indirect Transferee (or its Affiliates) is an Unapproved Third Party. In the case of clauses (iii), (vi) and (vii) of this Section 4.1(a), the Wafra Management Subscriber shall remain the direct party to this Agreement and the applicable Ancillary Agreements. In the case of clauses (i), (ii), (iv), (v), (viii) and (ix), (A) such Transferee will be subject to the same terms, conditions and contractual undertakings with respect to DCMH as the Wafra Management Subscribers, and (B) if any such Transfer is a Transfer of less than all of the Wafra Management Subscriber’s Ownership Interests, the rights of the Wafra Representative will be exercised by a single Person (and no more than two Transferees of the Wafra Management Subscribers shall be entitled to exercise such rights indirectly at any one time).
(b)    Cooperation with Transfers. In connection with the Transfers pursuant to clauses (i), (iii), (vi), (vii), (viii) and (ix) of Section 4.1(a), each applicable Digital Colony

23

LA_LAN01:362977.13



Management Party and CCOC shall cooperate as reasonably necessary, execute and deliver such agreements and instruments, provide such reasonable support and assistance by providing Confidential Information to any potential Transferee as would customarily be made available to a potential buyer in a sale of a minority position (i.e., consistent with the level and type of information provided to the Wafra Entities in connection with the Contemplated Transactions) or to an underwriter in a Wafra IPO, including documents and reasonable opportunities to ask questions of key executives as customarily provided in connection with a “due diligence” investigation as a Wafra Management Subscriber may reasonably request in connection with any Transfer (or potential Transfer) of its right to any of its Ownership Interest or in connection with a Wafra IPO (or potential Wafra IPO); provided, that if requested by such Digital Colony Management Party or CCOC, any such potential Transferee shall execute a customary confidentiality agreement in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Digital Colony Representative. DCMH shall make customary knowledge qualified representations and warranties to the Wafra Management Subscribers (without any indemnification obligations in respect thereof) to allow the Wafra Management Subscribers to make representations and warranties related to any Digital Colony Management Parties in connection with any such Transfers. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements to the contrary, the Wafra Entities shall be free to consummate a Wafra IPO in accordance with Section 4.1(a) at any time; provided, that any disclosure in connection with such Wafra IPO shall not (a) specifically or separately identify or present any financial information regarding the Digital Colony Companies, the Digital Colony Funds or any Portfolio Companies or any stakeholders of any of the foregoing in any public filings relating to such Wafra IPO unless presented on an aggregate basis with all other companies in which the Digital Colony Companies, the Digital Colony Funds or any Portfolio Companies invest such that the identity of such Persons, as applicable, could not be reasonably deduced therefrom or (b) require the filing of any Ancillary Agreement not already publicly disclosed (clauses (a) and (b), the “Non-Aggregated Information”). Following such Wafra IPO, the Non-Aggregated Information shall not be disclosed unless required by applicable Law or with the prior written consent of the Digital Colony Representative. In connection with any such Wafra IPO, DCMH shall cause each of the Digital Colony Companies to provide reasonable cooperation, support, assistance and information (to the extent reasonably available, the disclosure of which would not violate any Law or any agreement to which any Digital Colony Company, any Digital Colony Fund or any of their Affiliates is subject, or if any other action required or requested by a regulatory authority would not reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect in any material respect on Colony Capital Group, the Digital Colony Companies or any of their respective Affiliates) to the applicable Wafra Entities, at such Wafra Entities’ expense for any reasonable out-of-pocket expense, to the extent that such Wafra Entities’ counsel advises is required in connection with such Wafra IPO. The Wafra Representative shall consult with the Digital Colony Management Parties in good faith regarding, and provide the Digital Colony Management Parties a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon, the form of any disclosure regarding the Digital Colony Companies, the Digital Colony Funds, the Portfolio Companies or any stakeholders thereof in connection with or following an Wafra IPO. The obligations of the Digital Colony Management Parties and CCOC pursuant to this Section 4.1(b) shall not require the Digital Colony Companies to agree to a restructuring, any regulatory remedies or any other action required or requested by a Governmental Authority that would reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect in any material respect on the Digital Colony Companies or the Colony Capital Group in connection with regulatory approvals related to any such Transfer.

LA_LAN01:362977.13



(c)    Conditions to Transfers. It shall be a condition of the Transfer of any Ownership Interests (i) to any Person, that such Transfer shall not be effected if such Transfer would violate applicable Law or would cause DCMH to become a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code, and (ii) to any Person who is not a party to this Agreement, that such Person sign a Joinder Agreement binding such Person to the provisions of this Agreement.
(d)    Right of First Offer. In the event that any Wafra Management Subscriber (the “Offering Wafra Management Subscriber”) proposes to Transfer all or any portion of the Ownership Interests owned by it to any third party purchaser pursuant to Section 4.1(a)(i), the Offering Wafra Management Subscriber shall first make an offering of such Ownership Interests to CCOC (together with any Controlled Affiliates of CCOC that CCOC designates to exercise its rights under this Section 4.1(d), the “Offered Party”) in accordance with the following:
(i)    The Offering Wafra Management Subscriber shall give notice (the “Offer Notice”) to the Offered Party, stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such Ownership Interests, (ii) a description and the number of such Ownership Interests to be offered (the “Offered Interests”), and (iii) the price and any material terms and conditions upon which it proposes to offer such Offered Interests, including a list of proposed Transferees, it being agreed that for so long as the Offering Wafra Management Subscriber may sell the Offered Interests to a Transferee without again complying with the right of first offer set forth herein, the Digital Colony Companies will be prohibited from issuing or selling Ownership Interests to any proposed Transferees notified to CCOC.
(ii)    By written notification (the “Acceptance Notice”) to the Offering Wafra Management Subscriber, within thirty (30) days after the Offer Notice is received, the Offered Party may elect to purchase, at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice, all of the Offered Interests proposed to be Transferred by the Offering Wafra Management Subscriber. If the Offered Party does not deliver an Acceptance Notice within thirty (30) days after the Offer Notice is received, the Offered Party shall be deemed to have waived its right to participate in the right of first offer described in this Section 4.1(d) and the Offering Wafra Management Subscriber may Transfer the Offered Interests in accordance with the terms of Section 4.1(d)(iii). Upon the timely delivery of an Acceptance Notice by the Offered Party pursuant to this Section 4.1(d)(ii), the Offering Wafra Management Subscriber and the Offered Party shall be legally obligated to consummate the sale contemplated thereby within thirty (30) days of the date of the Acceptance Notice (as it may be extended by up to an additional one hundred twenty (120) days as necessary for the expiration of regulatory waiting periods and to obtain regulatory approvals); provided, further, that the Offering Wafra Management Subscriber shall only be required to give customary representations and warranties with respect to such Wafra Management Subscriber’s due organization, authority to enter into applicable Transfer documentation, non-contravention of applicable Laws and material agreements or required approvals of any Governmental Authority (in respect of which a Wafra Entity is a party), and free and clear title of the relevant Ownership Interests.
(iii)    If the Offered Interests referred to in the Offer Notice are not elected to be purchased or acquired as provided in Section 4.1(d)(ii), the Offering Wafra

25

LA_LAN01:362977.13



Management Subscriber may, during the one hundred twenty (120) day period following the expiration of such thirty (30) day period provided in Section 4.1(d)(ii), offer and sell such Offered Interests to any third party at a price not less than 100% of, and upon other terms not materially more favorable to the offeree taken as a whole than, those specified in the Offer Notice. If the Offering Wafra Management Subscriber does not consummate the sale of the Offered Interests within such period (as it may be extended by up to an additional one hundred twenty (120) days as necessary for the expiration of regulatory waiting periods and to obtain regulatory approvals), the right of first offer provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such Offered Interests shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Offered Parties in accordance with this Section 4.1(d). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at least fourteen (14) days (the “Sale Notice Period”) prior to the desired consummation date of a proposed Transfer pursuant to this Section 4.1(d)(iii), the Wafra Representative shall deliver a notice to CCOC which shall, to the extent not included in or accompanying the Offer Notice relating to such proposed Transfer (i) identify the cash purchase price at which the proposed Transfer is proposed to be made, (ii) identify the prospective Transferee, (iii) identify the proposed signing date and the proposed closing date of such prospective Transfer, (iv) be accompanied by the substantially final proposed purchase agreement and forms of all other agreements (to the extent available) to be entered into by the Offering Wafra Management Subscriber in connection with such Transfer and (v) identify all other material terms and conditions of such Transfer (including with respect to the timing of the payment of the purchase price) (any notice delivered pursuant to this Section 4.1(d)(iii), a “Sale Notice”). If the prospective Transferee is an Unapproved Third Party, the Offering Wafra Management Subscriber shall not consummate such proposed Transfer without Digital Colony Consent.
4.2.    Tag-Along Rights.
(a)    Tag-Along Sale. In the event of a Transfer (other than a Permitted Transfer or a Drag-Along Sale) of Ownership Interests (the “Tag-Along Interests”) by any member of the Colony Capital Group, or by any other holders of Ownership Interests other than Wafra Entities, together with their Affiliates and/or Related Persons (to the extent such holders of Ownership Interests, Affiliates and/or Related Persons collectively own 10% or more of the total Ownership Interests outstanding, in the aggregate, at the time of such first Transfer (but without giving effect to such Transfer)) (a “Tag-Along Seller”) to a Third-Party Purchaser (a “Purchaser”), then each Tag-Along Seller shall be required to, and CCOC shall cause (or, with respect to each Tag-Along Seller that is not a Controlled Affiliate of CCOC, take all actions within its control to cause) each Tag-Along Seller to, provide the Wafra Management Subscribers and the Wafra Representative with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice (or, if the Conversion has not occurred at such time, forty five (45) days’ prior written notice) of such Transfer (the “Tag-Along Notice”), which notice shall identify the Purchaser, the percentage of the Ownership Interests proposed to be Transferred by the Tag-Along Seller, the applicable percentage of the then-issued Ownership Interests of the applicable Digital Colony Management Parties that such proposed Transfer represents, a statement as to whether DCMH and CCOC would otherwise be required to issue a Drag-Along Notice under Section 4.3(a), the purchase price therefor, and a summary of the other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer. To the extent not previously provided, each Tag-Along Seller shall provide the Wafra Representative, on behalf of the Wafra Management Subscribers, with all material information made available to the Purchaser in connection with the proposed Transfer and any other information reasonably requested by the Wafra Representative to the extent available. Within thirty

26

LA_LAN01:362977.13



(30) days following receipt of such Tag-Along Notice, the Wafra Management Subscribers that hold Ownership Interests may elect, by providing a written offer to the Tag-Along Sellers and the Purchaser, to Transfer to the Purchaser the Ownership Interests specified therein, up to that percentage of the Ownership Interests of such Wafra Management Subscribers (the “Tagging Interest”) equal to the percentage of the Ownership Interests of the applicable Digital Colony Management Parties held by the Tag-Along Sellers that is proposed to be Transferred by the Tag-Along Sellers, subject to Section 4.6 and Section 4.7, at the same price per Ownership Interest and otherwise on the same terms as those being offered to the Tag-Along Seller (any such Transfer, a “Tag-Along Sale”). Subject to Section 4.5, such Wafra Management Subscriber(s) shall execute all appropriate documents reasonably necessary to Transfer ownership of such Tagging Interest to the Purchaser. Failure by a Wafra Management Subscriber to respond in writing within such thirty (30)-day period shall be deemed to be a waiver of its tag-along rights under this Section 4.2(a) with respect to such Transfer but only to the extent the Tag-Along Seller is not again required to comply with this Section 4.2 in connection with a Transfer. If the Wafra Management Subscribers waive their tag-along rights under this Section 4.2(a), the Tag-Along Sellers shall have the right to consummate such Transfer free of such rights; provided, that (x) such Transfer is fully closed and consummated within one hundred twenty (120) days following the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period (as it may be extended by up to an additional one hundred twenty (120) days as necessary for the expiration of regulatory waiting periods and to obtain regulatory approvals), and (y) the terms of the actual Transfer are no more favorable as to price, and no more materially favorable as to the other terms taken as a whole to the Tag-Along Sellers, than those set forth in the Tag-Along Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Wafra Management Subscriber elects to Transfer its Tagging Interest as provided herein, the proposed Transfer of Tag-Along Interests by the Tag-Along Seller to the Purchaser shall not be permitted hereunder and any such purported Transfer shall not be valid (and thus shall not have any force or effect) unless the Purchaser accepts and purchases all of the Tagging Interests tendered by the Wafra Management Subscriber(s) in connection with such proposed Transfer; provided, that, in the event that the Purchaser elects to acquire less than the full amount of both the Tag-Along Interests and the Tagging Interests, the amount of Tag-Along Interests and Tagging Interests being sold to such Purchaser shall be cut back such that the Tag-Along Seller shall be permitted to sell an amount of Tag-Along Interests that represents the same percentage of the Tag-Along Seller’s total Ownership Interests in the applicable Digital Colony Management Parties as the amount of the Tagging Interest that the Wafra Management Subscribers are selling to the Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, there shall be no liability on the part of Colony Capital or any of its Affiliates to any Wafra Management Subscriber if a proposed Transfer of Ownership Interests pursuant to this Section 4.2(a) is not consummated for any reason, except as otherwise set forth in the definitive documentation related thereto.
(b)    Expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, the Wafra Management Subscriber(s) and the Tag-Along Sellers shall each pay their respective pro rata share (based on aggregate proceeds to be received in connection with such Transfer by the applicable Wafra Management Subscriber(s) and the Tag-Along Seller(s)) of the aggregate expenses incurred by all of the applicable Wafra Entities and Tag-Along Seller(s) in connection with any proposed sale or Transfer of the nature referred to in this Section 4.2.

27

LA_LAN01:362977.13



4.3.    Drag-Along Rights.
(a)    Drag-Along Sale. If the Persons holding Ownership Interests in DCMH representing (i) 50% or more of the voting power of all such outstanding Ownership Interests, in the aggregate, and (ii) the entitlement to receive 50% or more of all distributions, individually or in the aggregate (the “Drag-Along Sellers”) desire to Transfer to any Purchaser, Ownership Interests in DCMH representing (1) 50% or more of the voting power of all such outstanding Ownership Interests, in the aggregate, and (2) the entitlement to receive 50% or more of all distributions, whether in one transaction or a series of related transactions (any such transaction or series of related transactions, a “Drag-Along Sale”), then DCMH and CCOC shall or shall cause the Drag-Along Sellers to give thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Wafra Representative of the Drag-Along Sale (a “Drag-Along Notice”) which notice shall identify the Purchaser, the percentage of its Ownership Interests proposed to be Transferred in the Drag-Along Sale, the applicable percentage of the then-issued Ownership Interests that such proposed Transfer represents and a summary of the other material terms and conditions of the proposed Drag-Along Sale.  To the extent not previously provided, each Drag-Along Seller shall make available to the Wafra Management Subscribers all material information made available to the Purchaser in connection with the Drag-Along Sale and any other information reasonably requested by the Wafra Representative to the extent available, and (subject to the Wafra Management Subscribers’ rights under Section 4.4, Section 4.6 and Section 4.7) require the Wafra Management Subscriber(s) holding Ownership Interests to sell to the Purchaser at the same price per Ownership Interest and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as those being offered to the Drag-Along Sellers (except as set forth in Section 4.4) that percentage of their Ownership Interests (the “Wafra Dragged Interests”) either (x) as is equal to the percentage of the then issued Ownership Interests proposed to be sold by the Drag-Along Sellers or (y) as is equal to 100% of the Ownership Interests owned by the Wafra Management Subscribers, at the option of DCMH.
(b)    Wafra Dragged Interests. Following receipt of a Drag-Along Notice, the Wafra Management Subscriber(s) holding Ownership Interests shall be obligated to sell to the Purchaser the Wafra Dragged Interests at the same time as the Drag-Along Sellers to the Purchaser. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Wafra Management Subscriber(s) shall only be required to Transfer the Wafra Dragged Interests in the event that the Purchaser accepts and purchases all of the Wafra Dragged Interests required by the terms of this Agreement to be acquired by the Purchaser in connection with such Drag-Along Sale.
4.4.    Accelerated Change of Control Transaction.
(a)    Generally. Notwithstanding Section 4.2(a) or Section 4.3(a), in connection with any proposed merger, consolidation or business combination or Specified Colony Change of Control or in connection with any proposed Transfer of the nature referred to in Section 4.2(a) or Section 4.3(a) (including for purposes of this Section 4.4 any Transfer to personnel of the Colony Capital Group or Digital Colony Personnel), in each case that would result in Colony Capital (A) no longer directly or indirectly owning a majority of the Ownership Interests or (B) ceasing to Control the Digital Colony Management Parties (an “Accelerated Change of Control Transaction”), then by written notice to the Digital Colony Representative to be delivered within thirty (30) days

28

LA_LAN01:362977.13



of receipt of the Tag-Along Notice or Drag-Along Notice, as the case may be, the Wafra Management Subscriber(s) may elect to Transfer, or pursuant to Section 4.3(a) (if applicable), DCMH may elect to require the Wafra Management Subscribers to Transfer, to the Purchaser (and in the case of a Specified Colony Change of Control, the right of the Wafra Management Subscribers to Transfer the Ownership Interests to the Purchaser shall be a condition to the consummation of such transaction), 100% of the Wafra Management Subscribers’ Ownership Interests, subject to Section 4.6 and Section 4.7, at the same price per Ownership Interest and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as those being offered to the Tag-Along Seller or Drag-Along Seller or, in the case of a Specified Colony Change of Control, the applicable seller or sellers in such Specified Colony Change of Control, mutatis mutandis. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of an Accelerated Change of Control Transaction, the Wafra Entities shall be entitled to sell 100% of their Ownership Interests. In connection with any Accelerated Change of Control Transaction, any Sponsor Commitments and Identified Sponsor Commitments shall become freely transferable.
(b)    Accelerated Change of Control Amount. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in Section 4.3, Section 4.6 and Section 4.7, if any Accelerated Change of Control Transaction occurs prior to July 17, 2025, the Wafra Management Subscriber(s) will be entitled to receive the greater of (i) such Wafra Management Subscriber’s pro rata share of the net proceeds of such Tag-Along Sale or Drag-Along Sale attributable to the Ownership Interests and (ii) an amount that provides such Wafra Management Subscriber with an amount equal to at least the Minimum Return Threshold.
4.5.    Additional Conditions to Tag-Along Sales and Drag-Along Sales. In connection with any Tag-Along Sale or Drag-Along Sale (for the avoidance of doubt, including any Accelerated Change of Control Transaction), the Wafra Management Subscriber(s) shall execute all appropriate documents reasonably necessary to Transfer ownership of the Tagging Interest or Wafra Dragged Interest, as the case may be; provided, that such Wafra Management Subscriber(s) (a) shall only be required to give customary representations and warranties with respect to such Wafra Management Subscriber’s due organization, authority to enter into applicable Transfer documentation, non-contravention of applicable Laws and material agreements, or required approvals of any Governmental Authority (in respect of which a Wafra Entity is a party), and free and clear title of the relevant Ownership Interests, (b) shall not be required to provide any indemnification with respect to any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by any other Person, including any Colony Party (for the avoidance of doubt, subject to subclause (a), such Wafra Management Subscriber(s) may be required to provide indemnification in respect of its own representations, warranties, covenants or agreements), (c) shall not be required to bear more than its pro rata portion (based on proceeds received by such Wafra Management Subscriber(s) as compared to the aggregate proceeds in connection with the Transfer) of any indemnification obligation with respect to the representations, warranties and covenants of the other owners of the Ownership Interests (which shall not in any event exceed the net proceeds received by such Wafra Management Subscriber(s) in consideration for the Transfer of such Tagging Interest or Wafra Dragged Interest, as the case may be), and (d) except for confidentiality restrictions consistent with those set forth in this Agreement, shall not be required to agree to any non-compete or other similar restrictive covenants. In addition, each Wafra Management Subscriber and each Colony Party shall cooperate in good faith to effect such Tag-Along Sale or Drag-Along Sale in such a manner so as

29

LA_LAN01:362977.13



to minimize any adverse legal, regulatory or tax consequences to such Wafra Management Subscriber and such Digital Colony Management Parties and to minimize the Parties’ obligations to obtain any consents from a third party or Governmental Authority.
4.6.    Consideration.
(a)    Valuation. In connection with any Tag-Along Sale, Drag-Along Sale or Accelerated Change of Control Transaction, in evaluating whether the relevant Ownership Interests are being sold at the same price per Ownership Interest and on the same terms and subject to the same conditions that are applicable to the Tag-Along Sale or Drag-Along Sale proposed by the Tag-Along Sellers or Drag-Along Sellers, as applicable, pursuant to Section 4.2 or Section 4.3, the Digital Colony Representative, as applicable, and the Wafra Representative, will work together in good faith to agree on the valuation for the Ownership Interests being sold by the Wafra Management Subscribers, based on the value ascribed by the Purchaser to the Ownership Interests being Transferred and taking into account all of the economics offered to the Tag-Along Sellers and Drag-Along Sellers, as applicable, and each of their respective Affiliates (other than industry standard compensation for future services rendered that are bona fide market compensatory payments), but without regard to time constraint or any contractual restriction, minority, lack of liquidity or marketability, or similar discount; provided, that for purposes of this Section 4.6(a), any securities to be received as consideration in connection with a Tag-Along Sale or a Drag-Along Sale (to the extent permitted hereunder) shall be valued at the fair market value thereof on a post-transaction basis (and not at the value of the Ownership Interests that, absent this Section 4.6(a), would otherwise be exchanged therefor) which fair market value shall not give effect, for purposes hereof, to any discounts as to lack of liquidity, marketability or minority interest or similar discount.
(b)    Independent Appraiser. Absent agreement by the relevant parties with respect to the valuation of the Ownership Interests held by the Wafra Management Subscriber, any applicable Tag-Along Sellers or Drag-Along Sellers or, in the case of an Accelerated Change of Control that is a Specified Colony Change of Control, the seller in such Specified Colony Change of Control, as the case may be, and the Digital Colony Representative and the Wafra Representative, shall jointly select a nationally recognized independent appraiser (the “Independent Appraiser”) to determine the value of the Ownership Interests, who will be instructed to take into account the value of any offer made by an independent third party in making its determination; provided, that the Independent Appraiser shall not be permitted or authorized to determine a valuation of the Ownership Interests that is outside of the range of the valuation of the Ownership Interests proposed by the Wafra Representative, on the one hand, and the Tag-Along Sellers or the Drag-Along Sellers, as the case may be, on the other hand. The Independent Appraiser shall be instructed, as soon as reasonably practicable but within thirty (30) days of the date of the engagement of the Independent Appraiser, to complete its valuation of the Ownership Interests proposed to be Transferred in connection with such transaction, giving due regard to the transaction with the applicable Purchaser, the different series, classes or types of Ownership Interests (taking in account the factors described in Section 4.6(a)) and other assets included in the transaction, and other relevant market factors. The determination of the Independent Appraiser shall be final, binding and conclusive on all parties hereto for all purposes of this Agreement. In connection with the Independent Appraiser’s determination of the value of such Ownership Interests, the Independent Appraiser shall have reasonable access to the Digital Colony Companies’ management team and the books, records and

LA_LAN01:362977.13



other information reasonably requested by such the Independent Appraiser. The fees and expenses of the Independent Appraiser shall be borne by the Wafra Representative, on the one hand, and by the Tag-Along Sellers or the Drag-Along Sellers, as the case may be, on the other hand, in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Independent Appraiser based on the valuation of the Ownership Interests submitted by each of the Wafra Representative and the Tag-Along Sellers or the Drag-Along Sellers, as the case may be, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amount of the valuation in dispute and shall be determined by the Independent Appraiser at the time its determination is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted.
(c)    Minimum Return Threshold. Without limitation of any other provision in this Section 4.6, in the event of a Drag-Along Sale or an Accelerated Change of Control Transaction prior to July 17, 2025, the Wafra Management Subscribers will be entitled to receive, and DCMH shall cause the Wafra Management Subscribers to receive, consideration in respect of such Ownership Interests equal to (1) prior to the second anniversary of the Closing, the product of (x) the percentage of such Wafra Management Subscriber’s total Ownership Interests to be sold in such Transfer, and (y) (i) 1.5 times the aggregate Management Interests Consideration Amount paid by such Wafra Management Subscriber, (ii) minus any distributions received by such Wafra Management Subscriber in respect of the Ownership Interests and Preferred Dividends; (2) after the second anniversary of the Closing and prior to the third anniversary of the Closing, the product of (x) the percentage of such Wafra Management Subscriber’s total Ownership Interests be sold in such Transfer, and (y) (i) 1.75 times the aggregate Management Interests Consideration Amount paid by such Wafra Management Subscriber, (ii) minus any distributions received by such Wafra Management Subscriber in respect of the Ownership Interests and Preferred Dividends; and (3) after the third anniversary of the Closing, the product of (x) the percentage of such Wafra Management Subscriber’s total Ownership Interests to be sold in such Transfer, and (y) (i) 2.0 times the Management Interests Consideration Amount paid by such Wafra Management Subscriber (ii) minus any distributions received by such Wafra Management Subscriber in respect of the Ownership Interests and Preferred Dividends (such applicable amount, the “Minimum Return Threshold”).
(d)    In connection with any Accelerated Change of Control Transaction or Drag-Along Sale, (i) the relevant Wafra Management Subscribers will receive per Ownership Interest consideration pro rata with the other owners of Ownership Interests (including, directly or indirectly, any member of the Colony Capital Group) and taking into account any differences in value as set forth in this Section 4.6), (ii) such Accelerated Change of Control Transaction will be subject to the Minimum Return Threshold, if applicable, and (iii) in such Accelerated Change of Control Transaction or Drag-Along Sale, the relevant Wafra Management Subscribers shall be entitled to receive 100% cash consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 4.6(d) in no way limits the Wafra Management Subscribers’ right to effect a 100% sale pursuant to Section 4.4.
(e)    For the avoidance of doubt, the Wafra Management Subscriber(s) and the Tag-Along Sellers or Drag-Along Sellers, as applicable, shall each pay their respective pro rata share (based on aggregate proceeds to be received in connection with such Transfer by the applicable Wafra Management Subscriber(s) and the Tag-Along Seller(s) or the Drag-Along Seller(s) as applicable) of the aggregate expenses incurred by all of the applicable Wafra Management Subscriber(s) and the Tag-Along Seller(s) or the Drag-Along Seller(s), as applicable, in connection

31

LA_LAN01:362977.13



with any proposed sale or Transfer of the nature referred to in Section 4.2, Section 4.3, or Section 4.4.
4.7.    SPE Investor. In the event of a Tag-Along Sale, a Drag-Along Sale or a Transfer pursuant to Section 4.4, in each case in which one or more of the Wafra Management Subscribers are Transferring all of their Ownership Interests in a Digital Colony Company, the Digital Colony Management Parties and CCOC shall reasonably cooperate with the Wafra Representative to structure such Transfer with respect to each such Wafra Management Subscriber that is, or that has any direct or indirect owner that is, in each case, a special purpose vehicle (each, an “SPE Investor”) to include each such SPE Investor in such Tag-Along Sale, Drag-Along Sale or Transfer, on the terms of such Tag-Along Sale, Drag-Along Sale or Transfer, or the consummation of such Tag-Along Sale, Drag-Along Sale or Transfer, it being understood and agreed that any costs associated with such inclusion (including reduced transaction value due to the inclusion of such special purpose vehicles) shall be borne solely by such Wafra Management Subscriber. In addition, in connection with any IPO described in Section 4.8, the Digital Colony Management Parties and CCOC shall reasonably cooperate with the Wafra Representative to cause each SPE Investor to be contributed to the IPO entity in exchange for equity of the IPO entity.
4.8.    Registration Rights. In the event that, following a transaction or series of transactions whereby assets of Colony Capital or CCOC are transferred or otherwise disposed of such that the Digital Colony Business comprises 90% or more of the asset value of Colony Capital (a “Specified Colony Asset Transaction”), Colony Capital, CCOC and the Wafra Management Subscribers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in order to allow the Wafra Management Subscribers to convert their Ownership Interests into an amount of shares of Colony Capital (or any publicly traded parent company or the applicable publicly traded vehicle) common stock (and Colony Capital, CCOC and the Wafra Management Subscribers will discuss in good faith the manner of implementation of such conversion) such that the Wafra Management Subscribers are entitled to such share of the total issued and outstanding publicly traded equity as the Wafra Management Subscribers’ interest in the Digital Colony Management Parties bears to the value of Colony Capital (or any such publicly traded parent company or publicly traded vehicle) as a whole, and to grant customary and appropriate registration rights. In the event and to the extent that (a) any Digital Colony Management Party (or successor corporation thereto), or other entity formed for the purposes of an IPO of the Digital Colony Business, reasonably expects to undertake an IPO (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, a Spin‑Off), (b) any shares of common stock of Colony Capital are issued pursuant to Section 9, or (c) one or more of the Warrants are exercised, the Wafra Representative, the Digital Colony Representative and Colony Capital shall enter into one or more registration rights agreements (and, if applicable, exchange and/or conversion agreements) in good faith, in respect of the underlying securities issued in any of the circumstances set forth in clauses (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 4.8, which shall provide, among other things, the Wafra Management Subscriber(s) with the rights with respect to such securities as set forth on Exhibit B, but only to the extent that such securities are not freely tradeable on the NYSE or NASDAQ. For the avoidance of doubt, the Wafra Management Subscribers shall only be permitted to participate directly in any such IPO to the extent Colony Capital (or its Affiliates other than the IPO entity) is selling secondary shares therein (and then on a pro rata basis based on their respective Ownership Interests in relation to the shares sold by Colony Capital).

Nothing in this Section 6.4 shall prevent any Person from reporting or providing information to a Governmental Authority.
6.5.    Certain Tax Covenants. DCMH, on behalf of itself and each of the other Digital Colony Management Parties, as applicable, hereby covenants and agrees that:
(a)    Upon the request of any Wafra Management Subscriber in connection with any Transfer of an Interest in a Digital Colony Management Party, to the extent a valid election under Section 754 of the Code (and any corresponding provisions of state and local Law) may be made but is not in effect as of the taxable year in which such Transfer occurs with respect to DCMH or any other Digital Colony Management Party that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, each applicable Digital Colony Management Party with respect to which such Wafra Management Subscriber has requested such election(s) be made shall make and maintain such election(s) for the taxable year of such Digital Colony Management Party that includes the date of such Transfer.
(b)    The Digital Colony Management Parties shall (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any exemption from, reduction in, or refund of, Taxes collected by way of withholding (or similar) imposed by any Taxing Authority (whether sovereign or local) with

44

LA_LAN01:362977.13



respect to amounts allocable to, received by, or distributable by DCMH to the Wafra Management Subscriber (“Withholding Taxes”), (ii) notify the Wafra Management Subscriber of the amount of any Withholding Taxes imposed, (iii) to the extent the exemption from, reduction in, or refund of, Withholding Taxes is required to be applied for by the Wafra Management Subscriber, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide assistance upon the Wafra Management Subscriber’s reasonable request to enable the Wafra Management Subscriber to obtain any available reduction or refund of such Withholding Taxes, and (iv) provide the Wafra Management Subscriber with such information and documentation as it may reasonably request to enable it to seek any exemption from, reductions in, or refunds or credits of, Withholding Taxes to which it is entitled; provided, that the Wafra Management Subscriber shall reimburse the applicable Digital Colony Management Parties for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses attributable to obtaining any exemption from, reduction in or refund of Withholding Taxes of the Wafra Management Subscriber. For the avoidance of doubt, Withholding Taxes shall include Taxes imposed pursuant to Section 1471 or Section 1472 of the Code or any successor provision.
(c)    The Digital Colony Management Parties shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that each applicable Digital Colony Fund complies with any requirements of Sections 1471 or 1472 of the Code (including those set forth in Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code) (or any successor legislation) and any future Treasury or IRS guidance promulgated thereunder and any comparable provision of non-U.S. law that are necessary to avoid the imposition of withholding Taxes pursuant to Sections 1471(a) or 1472(a) of the Code. To the extent of any withholding Taxes imposed on an applicable Digital Colony Fund as a result of a “recalcitrant account holder” or non-compliant “foreign financial institution”, within the meaning of Section 1471(d) of the Code, such withholding Taxes shall be allocated to such recalcitrant account holders or non-compliant foreign financial institutions to the fullest extent possible.
(d)    The Digital Colony Management Parties shall each furnish to the Wafra Management Subscriber a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Schedule K-1 to Form 1065 (“IRS Schedule K-1”). Each Digital Colony Management Party shall furnish to the Wafra Management Subscriber with respect to each year an estimated IRS Schedule K-1 or equivalent and applicable estimated state and local apportionment information by March 15 after the end of the taxable year, and a final IRS Schedule K-1 and final state and local apportionment information by August 1 after the end of the taxable year. Each Digital Colony Management Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Wafra Management Subscriber upon reasonable request with respect to Tax matters attributable to such Wafra Management Subscriber’s interests in such Digital Colony Management Party.
(e)    The Parties agree that CCDH shall be designated as the “partnership representative” of DCMH (within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code) for each taxable year with respect to which a Wafra Entity owns an Ownership Interest and that CCDH shall be bound by the same duties of good faith and fair dealing in its capacity as the “partnership representative” of DCMH as would apply to a general partner of a Delaware limited partnership. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any Ancillary Agreement to the contrary, if DCMH receives a notice of final partnership adjustment from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service to which the Partnership Audit Rules are applicable, the “partnership representative” of DCMH shall cause DCMH to (i) (x) consult in good faith with the Wafra Representative, and consider in good faith any requests made by the

45

LA_LAN01:362977.13



Wafra Representative, with respect to whether to cause DCMH to elect the application of Section 6226 of the Code, with respect to any imputed underpayment arising from such adjustment, and (y) if the “partnership representative” elects the application of Section 6226 of the Code, furnish to each partner of DCMH a statement of such partner’s share (based on the year to which such adjustment relates) of any adjustment to income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (as determined in the notice of final partnership adjustment) or (ii) use reasonable efforts to modify such imputed underpayment under Sections 6225(3) and (4) of the Code, in each case with respect to any more than de minimis imputed underpayment arising from such adjustment, to the extent that such modifications are available (taking into account the tax status of each Wafra Management Subscriber and, if applicable, its direct or indirect owners, based on receipt of any needed information) and would reduce any Taxes payable by DCMH with respect to the applicable imputed underpayment.  Any tax benefits resulting from any such modification and reduction shall, to the extent not prohibited under applicable Law, be allocated to the member to which the tax benefit relates. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that a Tax is imposed on, and paid by, DCMH under the provisions of the Partnership Audit Rules, and such Tax is determined in good faith by CCDH to be attributable to, or made on behalf of or in respect of, an equityholder of DCMH (or one or more beneficial owners thereof), CCDH shall, and the Digital Colony Management Parties shall cause CCDH to, (A) cause such Tax to be borne by such equityholder (or beneficial owner(s) thereof) and (B) in determining whether a Tax is so attributable, take into account the tax status of such equityholder (or beneficial owner(s) thereof). Notwithstanding anything herein or in any Organizational Document to the contrary, DCMH shall not make any election pursuant to the Partnership Audit Rules to cause Sections 6221-6241 of the Code to apply to any tax year beginning prior to January 1, 2018. The provisions of this Section 6.5(e) shall also apply, mutatis mutandis, to the Subsidiaries of DCMH that are treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes in respect of U.S. federal, state or local income tax matters. DCMH shall cause its “partnership representative” to (i) promptly provide the Wafra Representative with notice of any tax audit, investigation or proceeding with respect to DCMH, in each case, that would reasonably be expected to an adverse effect on the Wafra Management Subscriber (each, a “Tax Proceeding”), (ii) keep the Wafra Representative reasonably informed regarding any such Tax Proceeding, (iii) provide copies of any material pleadings, briefs, petition, submissions and correspondence to the Wafra Representative in connection with such Tax Proceeding, and (iv) shall not settle or otherwise compromise (or fail to settle or otherwise compromise) any such Tax Proceeding if it would have a disproportionate, material and adverse effect on the Wafra Management Subscriber (including, for this purpose, where the Wafra Management Subscriber is a pass-through entity for tax purposes, any direct or indirect owners of the Wafra Management Subscriber that are special purpose vehicles and treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purpose) without the Wafra Management Subscriber’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
(f)    Notwithstanding anything in an applicable Organizational Document to the contrary, in the event of a Transfer of Interests in a Digital Colony Management Party by a Wafra Management Subscriber, allocations between such Wafra Management Subscriber and the applicable Transferee of the distributive shares of the various items of such Digital Colony Management Party’s income, gain, loss, deduction and credit as computed for Tax purposes shall be allocated between such Wafra Management Subscriber and such Transferee on a closing of the

46

LA_LAN01:362977.13



books basis or such other proper basis as such Wafra Management Subscriber and such Transferee shall reasonably agree.
(g)    Each Digital Colony Management Party shall furnish to the applicable Wafra Management Subscribers any information necessary for Tax and regulatory filings or elections or otherwise reasonably requested by such Wafra Management Subscribers.
(h)    Each NFRE Recipient (or, if such Person is treated as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the owner of such Person’s assets for U.S. federal income tax purposes) shall be a different Person for U.S. federal income tax purposes from the applicable general partner or other Carried Interest Recipient for such Digital Colony Fund. No Digital Colony Company other than a Digital Colony Management Party shall earn any management fees or other amounts taxable for U.S. federal income tax purposes as fee income from a Digital Colony Fund. The Digital Colony Management Parties shall not be required to comply with the foregoing requirements of this Section 5.17(h) to the extent (i) such compliance would have an adverse impact on the Digital Colony Management Parties other than in an immaterial manner and (ii) the Digital Colony Representative has consulted in good faith with the Wafra Representative in connection therewith and has considered in good faith implementing a structure with respect to the Digital Colony Management Parties that achieves the Wafra Management Subscribers’ legal, tax and/or regulatory objectives.
(i)    In the event of a Transfer of an Interest in any Digital Colony Management Party by a Wafra Management Subscriber, the applicable Digital Colony Management Party shall, and the manager, managing member(s) or general partner, as applicable, shall cause the applicable Digital Colony Management Party to (i) to the extent such Digital Colony Management Party is legally able to do so, deliver a certificate pursuant to Treasury Regulations section 1.1445-11T, duly executed in accordance with the requirements of such Treasury Regulation and dated as of the date of such Transfer, certifying that either (A) 50% or more of the value of the gross assets of such Digital Colony Management Party does not consist of “United States real property interests” (within the meaning of Section 897(c) of the Code) or (B) 90% or more of the value of the gross assets of such Digital Colony Management Party does not consist of “United States real property interests” (within the meaning of Section 897(c) of the Code) plus “cash or cash equivalents” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations section 1.1445-11T(d)(1)), (ii) to the extent it is legally able to do so, deliver any such information or certificates to such Wafra Management Subscriber and/or the applicable Transferee as would permit Tax withholding under Section 1446(f) of the Code (or any successor version thereof) to be reduced or eliminated; and (iii) reasonably cooperate with such Wafra Management Subscriber in reducing or eliminating any other applicable Tax withholding in connection with such Transfer; provided, that the Wafra Management Subscriber shall reimburse each applicable Digital Colony Management Party for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing.
(j)    Any requirement of a Wafra Management Subscriber to provide information about any investor in such Wafra Management Subscriber pursuant to this Agreement or any applicable Ancillary Agreement relating to Taxes shall be, unless otherwise required by Law, subject to commercially reasonable confidentiality restrictions imposed by such Wafra Management Subscriber and such Wafra Management Subscriber shall only be required to use commercially

47

LA_LAN01:362977.13



reasonable efforts to provide any such information about any investor in such Wafra Management Subscriber
(k)    The parties hereto agree to treat each Digital Colony Management Party as a partnership or as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes and not to cause any Digital Colony Management Party to elect to be, or otherwise be treated as, a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
6.6.    Key Person Insurance. DCMH will reasonably cooperate with the Wafra Management Subscriber to acquire, at the Wafra Management Subscribers’ sole expense, with the Wafra Management Subscribers as named beneficiaries, key person insurance over such individuals as the Wafra Management Subscribers may reasonably request from time to time following the Closing.
SECTION 7

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, for so long as the Wafra Management Subscribers own any Ownership Interests, DCMH authorizes the Wafra Management Subscribers and their Affiliates to publish and use the names of any of the Digital Colony Companies or their Affiliates on the public websites of the Wafra Management Subscribers and their Affiliates with the prior written consent of the Digital Colony Representative (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
7.2.    Existing Confidentiality Obligations. This Agreement shall constitute a termination of any confidentiality or similar agreement or arrangement between the Digital Colony Management

49

LA_LAN01:362977.13

SECTION 8
INDEMNIFICATION
8.1.    Rights under A&R DCMH Agreement. Each of the Parties that is a “Member” (as defined in the A&R DCMH Agreement) of DCMH, together with each such Party’s respective Affiliates and each of their respective current or former managers, officers, fiduciaries, trustees or managing members, shall be entitled to the rights to indemnification set forth in Article X of the A&R DCMH Agreement.

Following the occurrence of a Redemption Event, the Wafra Representative shall have the right for a ninety (90) day period, exercisable by delivering a written notice to the Digital Colony Representative (a “Redemption Notice”), to require the Digital Colony Companies or CCOC (at the Digital Colony Representative’s election) (the date of delivery of the Redemption Notice, the “Redemption Date”) to repurchase or cause to be repurchased the entirety of the Ownership Interests (i) within thirty (30) Business Days of the Redemption Date at an amount equal to (w) the sum of Management Interests Consideration Amount, the Warrants

51

LA_LAN01:362977.13



Consideration Amount and the Contingent Consideration Amount, if paid (such sum in this clause (w), the “Total Management Consideration Amount”), minus (x) any distributions or payments received by the Wafra Management Subscriber pursuant to the A&R DCMH Agreement, as applicable, as of immediately prior to the Redemption Event (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any distributions or payments received of Available Cash pursuant to the A&R DCMH Agreement, but excluding distributions or payments in respect of the Sponsor Commitments or Identified Sponsor Commitments) (such amounts described in this clause (x), the “Management Distributions”), or (ii) to the extent Colony Capital remains listed on the NYSE or NASDAQ at such time, by doubling the Wafra Management Subscriber’s Specified Percentage with respect to all distributions until the Redemption Amount is paid in full, during which time the Wafra Management Subscribers shall retain their Ownership Interests, as modified by this clause (ii) (the “Redemption Amount”, and such redemption right, the “Redemption Right”) (it being agreed and understood that clause (i)(w) of the definition of Redemption Amount shall be modified for purposes of clause (ii) to read “1.5x the Total Management Consideration Amount”) (this clause (ii), the “Deferred Redemption”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Redemption Right pursuant to this Section 9.1(a) shall only be exercisable concurrently with the exercise of the Redemption Right under Section 8 of the Carried Interest Participation Agreement and, to the extent the amount of Management Distributions exceeds the Total Management Consideration Amount (as it may have been modified in connection with a Deferred Redemption), such excess shall be deducted from any unpaid Redemption Amount pursuant to the Carried Interest Participation Agreement.
(b)    Payment Option. In the event that Digital Colony Representative elects the Deferred Redemption, the Digital Colony Representative may elect at any time to pay any remaining outstanding portion of the Redemption Amount in cash and/or registered shares of Colony Capital common stock (calculated by reference to 97% of the trailing thirty (30)-day VWAP of the common stock at the time payment) up to 250,000,000 registered shares of common stock in the aggregate (inclusive of any shares of common stock issued pursuant to Section 8(b) of the Carried Interest Participation Agreement, the “Share Cap”); provided, that, if the Redemption Amount has not been paid in full by the fourth (4th) year anniversary of the Redemption Date, the outstanding portion of the Redemption Amount shall be paid in registered common stock of Colony Capital having a value equal to the outstanding portion of such Redemption Amount (calculated by reference to 97% of the trailing thirty (30)-day VWAP of the common stock at the time payment) up to the Share Cap (inclusive of any shares previously issued in satisfaction on any portion of the Redemption Amount under this Agreement or Section 8(b) of the Carried Interest Participation Agreement) and thereafter in cash to the extent of any remaining outstanding portion of the Redemption Amount; provided, further, that if Colony Capital ceases to be listed on the NYSE or the NASDAQ, any portion of the Redemption Amount that is not paid in full shall immediately be payable in cash. Any amounts paid or distributed to the Wafra Management Subscribers in connection with a Redemption Event shall be treated as a payment to a retiring partner in accordance with Section 736(b) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

52

LA_LAN01:362977.13

10.2.    Entire Agreement; Conflicts; Severability. This Agreement, together with the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, the Ancillary Agreements and other written agreements executed in connection herewith or therewith, supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and constitutes the complete agreement and understanding among the Parties unless modified in a writing signed by all of the Parties. In addition to the provisions set forth in Section 10.5, any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms or provisions of this Agreement or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

In the event of any conflicts between the terms of this Agreement and/or the Carried Interest Participation Agreement, on the one hand, and the Digital Colony Fund I Fund Documentation, Fund I Specified Investment Agreement and/or the Purchaser Side Letter, on the other hand, the provisions of Section 4 of this Agreement and Section 9 of the Carried Interest Participation Agreement shall prevail with respect to the Transfer of any Sponsor Commitments and Identified Sponsor Commitments. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Investment Agreement, the Carry Investment Agreement or the A&R DCMH Agreement, the terms and conditions of the Investment Agreement and/or the Carry Investment Agreement, as applicable, shall control in all respects. CCOC shall cause any applicable general partner or managing member of any Digital Colony Fund or Digital Colony Company to comply with the provisions of Section 4 of this Agreement to the extent of any conflict with respect thereto between the Fund Documentation and the rights related to the CFIUS Redemption Right pursuant to Annex A of the Investment Agreement.
10.3.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same

No objection shall be raised as to the authenticity of any signature due solely to the fact that said signature was transmitted via facsimile or other electronic transmission.
10.4.    Assignment. Subject to the restrictions on Transfers provided herein, this Agreement shall inure to the benefit and be binding on the Parties hereto and their respective Transferees, successors and permitted assigns. Except for Transfers in accordance with this Agreement, neither this Agreement, nor any of the rights, benefits or obligations hereunder, may be assigned by any Party without the consent of the other Parties hereto. For the avoidance of doubt, in connection with Transfers in accordance with this Agreement, each Wafra Management Subscriber shall be entitled to assign this Agreement and any of such Wafra Management Subscriber’s rights, benefits and obligations hereunder. Any purported assignment or other Transfer without such consent shall be void and unenforceable. Any Person who desires to become a Party to this Agreement in connection with any Transfer or otherwise in accordance with this Agreement shall, and the applicable Transferor or assignee of such Person shall cause such Person to, execute and deliver to the Parties a Joinder Agreement, and upon such execution and delivery become a Party to, and bound by the terms of, this Agreement.

10.5.    Amendment; Severability; Waiver.
(a)    Any amendment, waiver or variation of this Agreement shall not be binding on the Parties unless it is agreed in writing and signed by the Wafra Representative (on behalf of the Wafra Management Subscribers) and the Digital Colony Representative (on behalf of the Colony Parties).
(b)    The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
(c)    The failure by any Party hereto to enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Agreement shall in no way be construed to be a waiver of any such provision nor in any way affect the validity of this Agreement or any part hereof or the right of such Party thereafter to enforce each and every such provision. No waiver of any breach of or non-compliance with this Agreement shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or non-compliance. The observance of any provision of this Agreement may be waived in writing by the Party that will lose the benefit of such provision as a result of such waiver.

other remedies, each Party shall be entitled to seek to enforce the terms of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy. Each Party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. Each Party further agrees that no such Party shall oppose the granting of an injunction or specific performance as provided herein on the basis that any other Party has an adequate remedy at law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.
10.11.    Further Assurances. Each Party to this Agreement agrees to execute such documents and other papers and use its reasonable efforts to perform or cause to be performed such further acts as are necessary to carry out the provisions contained in this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Upon the reasonable request of any Party, the other Parties agree to promptly execute and deliver such further instruments of assignment, transfer, conveyance, endorsement, direction or authorization and other documents as may be reasonably requested to the extent necessary to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. CCOC shall cause each Digital Colony Company and each Digital Colony Management Party that is not a Party to comply with any applicable obligations and perform any applicable covenants as set forth in this Agreement.

(ii)    if a Disabling Event described in clause (x) of Section 2(d)(i) occurs with respect to three Sponsor Commitments to a material Digital Colony Fund other than due to Tax, legal, regulatory or other compliance reasons, the Wafra Participation Buyer shall no longer have the right to receive the Specified Percentage of Carried Interest with respect to any other Digital Colony Funds.
(e)    Exclusion/Excuse. For the avoidance of doubt, the Wafra Participation Buyer’s right to receive payment of Carried Interest under Section 2(a) (Revenue Share) above shall not be affected by the Wafra Participation Buyer being excused or excluded from any investment made by any Digital Colony Fund pursuant to the Fund Documentation of the relevant Digital Colony Fund.

(a)    General Partner Clawback or Giveback.
(i)    The Wafra Participation Buyer shall contribute its pro rata share of any amounts that are required to be returned to any Digital Colony Fund under the relevant Fund Documentation of such Digital Colony Fund based on its relative participation in the Carried Interest in respect of such Digital Colony Fund in connection with any clawback or giveback obligation of the general partner of that Digital Colony Fund (including, with respect to Fund I, all “Giveback Obligations” under and as defined in the Fund I limited partnership agreement), but only to the extent of any Carried Interest actually received by the Wafra Participation Buyer with such amount actually received and calculated in accordance with the governing agreement of such Digital Colony Fund.

Section 4.    Sponsor Commitments.
(a)    Generally. From time to time, CCOC may, or may cause one or more of its Affiliates (other than any Digital Colony Company) to cause capital commitments to be made to a future Digital Colony Fund (each, a “Sponsor Commitment”, and collectively, the “Sponsor Commitments”, which for the avoidance of doubt, shall exclude the Identified Sponsor Commitments); provided, that to the extent an Identified Sponsor Commitment is made with respect to a Digital Colony Fund, the Wafra Entities shall not have any additional obligation to fund Sponsor Commitments with respect to such Digital Colony Fund.

-16-

LA_LAN01:362817.14



(Generally) for a period of (10) Business Days following written notice of such default from the Digital Colony Representative. The Wafra Entities shall not pay any management, incentive or other fees or Carried Interest to the applicable Digital Colony Fund in respect of any Sponsor Commitment or Identified Sponsor Commitment. The amount of each such Sponsor Commitment will be as determined by CCOC, and except as otherwise set forth in the proviso below, will not, when calculated together with the commitments made by the Colony Capital Group, any current or former Digital Colony Personnel and current or former personnel of the Colony Capital Group, exceed 1.5% of the aggregate capital commitments to the applicable Digital Colony Fund (as such percentage threshold may be adjusted to the extent a greater commitment is necessitated in light of then-prevailing market conditions as reasonably determined by CCOC after good faith consultation with the Wafra Representative, it being agreed and understood that, in no event will such percentage threshold be greater than 3% without the prior written consent of the Wafra Representative); provided, that with respect to any Digital Colony Funds that are single investor investment vehicles or that are multi-investor investment vehicles with a pre-identified target asset, the Wafra Participation Buyer (or other Wafra Entity specified by the Wafra Representative) will not be obligated to fund its pro rata portion of any such commitment that, when calculated together with the commitments made by the Colony Capital Group, any current or former Digital Colony Personnel and current or former personnel of the Colony Capital Group, is in excess of 5.0% of the aggregate capital commitments to the applicable Digital Colony Fund (as such percentage threshold may be adjusted to the extent a greater commitment is necessitated in light of then-prevailing market conditions as reasonably determined by CCOC after good faith consultation with the Wafra Representative; provided that in no event will such percentage threshold be greater than 10% without the prior written consent of the Wafra Representative).

Except in respect of (x) Excluded Assets or (y) any Joint Venture Carry Entity, Colony Capital and CCOC shall cause each Subsidiary of the Company and any current or future Entity that receives or is entitled to receive Carried Interest to be owned, directly or indirectly, 100% by the Company. Subject to the following sentence, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Colony Capital and CCOC shall be permitted, if required due to legal, tax or regulatory reasons, to conduct any part of the Digital Colony Business that generates Carried Interest outside of the Company and its wholly-owned Subsidiaries with the Wafra Representative’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed unless such conduct would be adverse to the Wafra Participation Buyer or the Wafra Entities, in which case such consent shall be in the Wafra Representative’s sole discretion; provided, that (i) the Wafra Entities’ rights, preferences and privileges with respect any such Carried Interest shall be identical to the rights, preferences and

(ii)    Cooperation with Transfers. In connection with the Transfers pursuant to clauses (i), (iii), (vi), (vii), (viii) and (ix) of Section 9(a)(i), the Company, each applicable Subsidiary of the Company and CCOC shall cooperate as reasonably necessary, execute and deliver such agreements and instruments, provide such reasonable support and assistance by providing Confidential Information to any potential Transferee as would customarily be made available to a potential buyer in a sale of a minority position (i.e., consistent with the level and type of information provided to the Wafra Entities in connection with the Contemplated Transactions) or to an underwriter in a Wafra IPO, including documents and reasonable opportunities to ask questions of key executives as customarily provided in connection with a “due diligence” investigation as a Wafra Participation Buyer may reasonably request in connection with any Transfer (or potential Transfer) of its right to any of its Ownership Interest or in connection with a Wafra IPO (or potential Wafra IPO); provided, that if requested by the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or CCOC, any such potential Transferee shall execute a customary confidentiality agreement in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Digital Colony Representative.

already publicly disclosed (clauses (a) and (b), the “Non-Aggregated Information”). Following such Wafra IPO, the Non-Aggregated Information shall not be disclosed unless required by applicable Law or with the prior written consent of the Digital Colony Representative. In connection with any such Wafra IPO, the Company shall cause each of the Digital Colony Companies to provide reasonable cooperation, support, assistance and information (to the extent reasonably available, the disclosure of which would not violate any Law or any agreement to which any Digital Colony Company, any Digital Colony Fund or any of their Affiliates is subject, or if any other action required or requested by a regulatory authority would not reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect in any material respect on Colony Capital Group, the Company and its Subsidiaries or any of their respective Affiliates) to the applicable Wafra Entities, at such Wafra Entities’ expense for any reasonable out-of-pocket expense, to the extent that such Wafra Entities’ counsel advises is required in connection with such Wafra IPO. The Wafra Representative shall consult with the Company and its Subsidiaries in good faith regarding, and provide the Company and its Subsidiaries a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon, the form of any disclosure regarding the Digital Colony Companies, the Digital Colony Funds, the Portfolio Companies or any stakeholders thereof in connection with or following an Wafra IPO.

(b)    Conditions to Transfers. It shall be a condition of the Transfer of any Ownership Interests (i) to any Person, that such Transfer shall not be effected if such Transfer would violate applicable Law or would cause the Company to become a “publicly traded partnership” within the meaning of Section 7704(b) of the Code, and (ii) to any Person who is not a party to this Agreement, that such Person sign a joinder to this Agreement binding such Person to the provisions of this Agreement.

(i)    The Offering Wafra Participation Buyer shall give notice (the “Offer Notice”) to the Offered Party, stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such Ownership Interests, (ii) a description and the number of such Ownership Interests to be offered (the “Offered Interests”), and (iii) the price and any material terms and conditions upon which it proposes to offer such Offered Interests, including a list of proposed Transferees, it being agreed that for so long as the Offering Wafra Participation Buyer may sell the Offered Interests to a Transferee without again complying with the right of first offer set forth herein, the Digital Colony Companies will be prohibited from issuing or selling Ownership Interests to any proposed Transferees notified to CCOC.

-31-

LA_LAN01:362817.14



Party may elect to purchase, at the price and on the terms specified in the Offer Notice, all of the Offered Interests proposed to be Transferred by the Offering Wafra Participation Buyer. If the Offered Party does not deliver an Acceptance Notice within thirty (30) days after the Offer Notice is received, the Offered Party shall be deemed to have waived its right to participate in the right of first offer described in this Section 9(c) and the Offering Wafra Participation Buyer may Transfer the Offered Interests in accordance with the terms of Section 9(c)(iii). Upon the timely delivery of an Acceptance Notice by the Offered Party pursuant to this Section 9(c)(ii), the Offering Wafra Participation Buyer and the Offered Party shall be legally obligated to consummate the sale contemplated thereby within thirty (30) days of the date of the Acceptance Notice (as it may be extended by up to an additional one hundred twenty (120) days as necessary for the expiration of regulatory waiting periods and to obtain regulatory approvals); provided, further, that the Offering Wafra Participation Buyer shall only be required to give customary representations and warranties with respect to such Wafra Participation Buyer’s due organization, authority to enter into applicable Transfer documentation, non-contravention of applicable Laws and material agreements or required approvals of any Governmental Authority (in respect of which a Wafra Entity is a party), and free and clear title of the relevant Ownership Interests.
(iii)    If the Offered Interests referred to in the Offer Notice are not elected to be purchased or acquired as provided in Section 9(c)(ii), the Offering Wafra Participation Buyer may, during the one hundred twenty (120) day period following the expiration of such thirty (30) day period provided in Section 9(c)(ii), offer and sell such Offered Interests to any third party at a price not less than 100% of, and upon other terms not materially more favorable to the offeree taken as a whole than, those specified in the Offer Notice. If the Offering Wafra Participation Buyer does not consummate the sale of the Offered Interests within such period (as it may be extended by up to an additional one hundred twenty (120) days as necessary for the expiration of regulatory waiting periods and to obtain regulatory approvals), the right of first offer provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and such Offered Interests shall not be offered unless first reoffered to the Offered Parties in accordance with this Section 9(c). Notwithstanding the foregoing, at least fourteen (14) days (the “Sale Notice Period”) prior to the desired consummation date of a proposed Transfer pursuant to this Section 9(c)(iii), the Wafra Representative shall deliver a notice to CCOC which shall, to the extent not included in or accompanying the Offer Notice relating to such proposed Transfer (i) identify the cash purchase price at which the proposed Transfer is proposed to be made, (ii) identify the prospective Transferee, (iii) identify the proposed signing date and the proposed closing date of such prospective Transfer, (iv) be accompanied by the substantially final proposed purchase agreement and forms of all other agreements (to the extent available) to be entered into by the Offering Wafra Participation Buyer in connection with such Transfer and (v) identify all other material terms and conditions of such Transfer (including with respect to the timing of the payment of the purchase price) (any notice delivered pursuant to this Section 9(c)(iii), a “Sale Notice”). If the prospective Transferee is an Unapproved Third Party, the Offering Wafra Participation Buyer shall not consummate such proposed Transfer without Digital Colony Consent.
(d)    Transfers by the Company. The Company may not Transfer, directly or indirectly, its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the Wafra Participation Buyer; provided, that, (i) in connection with any reorganization of Colony Capital and its Affiliates or other transaction whereby one or more of such entities would succeed to all or part of the Company’s entitlement to Carried Interest, the Company may Transfer its rights

-32-

LA_LAN01:362817.14



and obligations under this Agreement to such entities, and (ii) the Company may Transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement to an entity that acquires all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company, whether by merger, reorganization, acquisition, sale or otherwise.
Section 10.    Tag-Along Rights.
(a)    Tag-Along Sale. In the event of a Transfer (other than a Permitted Transfer or a Drag-Along Sale) of Ownership Interests (the “Tag-Along Interests”) by any member of the Colony Capital Group, or by any other holders of Ownership Interests other than Wafra Entities, together with their Affiliates and/or Related Persons (to the extent such holders of Ownership Interests, Affiliates and/or Related Persons collectively own 10% or more of the total Ownership Interests outstanding, in the aggregate, at the time of such first Transfer (but without giving effect to such Transfer)) (a “Tag-Along Seller”) to a Third-Party Purchaser (a “Purchaser”), then each Tag-Along Seller shall be required to, and CCOC shall cause (or, with respect to each Tag-Along Seller that is not a Controlled Affiliate of CCOC, take all actions within its control to cause) each Tag-Along Seller to, provide the Wafra Participation Buyer and the Wafra Representative with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such Transfer (the “Tag-Along Notice”), which notice shall identify the Purchaser, the percentage of the Ownership Interests proposed to be Transferred by the Tag-Along Seller, the applicable percentage of the then-issued Ownership Interests of the Company or applicable Subsidiary that such proposed Transfer represents, a statement as to whether the Company and CCOC would otherwise be required to issue a Drag-Along Notice under Section 11, the purchase price therefor, and a summary of the other material terms and conditions of the proposed Transfer. To the extent not previously provided, each Tag-Along Seller shall provide the Wafra Representative, on behalf of the Wafra Participation Buyers, with all material information made available to the Purchaser in connection with the proposed Transfer and any other information reasonably requested by the Wafra Representative to the extent available. Within thirty (30) days following receipt of such Tag-Along Notice, the Wafra Participation Buyers that hold Ownership Interests may elect, by providing a written offer to the Tag-Along Sellers and the Purchaser, to Transfer to the Purchaser the Ownership Interests specified therein, up to that percentage of the Ownership Interests of such Wafra Participation Buyers (the “Tagging Interest”) equal to the percentage of the Ownership Interests of the Company or its applicable Subsidiaries held by the Tag-Along Sellers that is proposed to be Transferred by the Tag-Along Sellers, subject to Section 12(c) and Section 13, at the same price per Ownership Interest and otherwise on the same terms as those being offered to the Tag-Along Seller (any such Transfer, a “Tag-Along Sale”). Subject to Section 12(b) and Section 12(c), such Wafra Participation Buyer(s) shall execute all appropriate documents reasonably necessary to Transfer ownership of such Tagging Interest to the Purchaser. Failure by a Wafra Participation Buyer to respond in writing within such thirty (30)-day period shall be deemed to be a waiver of its tag-along rights under this Section 10(a) with respect to such Transfer but only to the extent the Tag-Along Seller is not again required to comply with this Section 10(a) in connection with a Transfer. If the Wafra Participation Buyers waive their tag-along rights under this Section 10(a), the Tag-Along Sellers shall have the right to consummate such Transfer free of such rights; provided, that (x) such Transfer is fully closed and consummated within one hundred twenty (120) days following the expiration of such thirty (30)-day period (as it may be extended by up to an additional one hundred twenty (120) days as necessary for the expiration of regulatory waiting periods and to obtain regulatory approvals), and (y) the terms of the actual Transfer are no more favorable as to price, and no more materially favorable as to the other terms taken as a whole

-33-

LA_LAN01:362817.14



to the Tag-Along Sellers, than those set forth in the Tag-Along Notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a Wafra Participation Buyer elects to Transfer its Tagging Interest as provided herein, the proposed Transfer of Tag-Along Interests by the Tag-Along Seller to the Purchaser shall not be permitted hereunder and any such purported Transfer shall not be valid (and thus shall not have any force or effect) unless the Purchaser accepts and purchases all of the Tagging Interests tendered by the Wafra Participation Buyer(s) in connection with such proposed Transfer; provided, that, in the event that the Purchaser elects to acquire less than the full amount of both the Tag-Along Interests and the Tagging Interests, the amount of Tag-Along Interests and Tagging Interests being sold to such Purchaser shall be cut back such that the Tag-Along Seller shall be permitted to sell an amount of Tag-Along Interests that represents the same percentage of the Tag-Along Seller’s total Ownership Interests in the Company or its applicable Subsidiaries as the amount of the Tagging Interest that the Wafra Participation Buyers are selling to the Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, there shall be no liability on the part of Colony Capital or any of its Affiliates to any Wafra Participation Buyers if a proposed Transfer of Ownership Interests pursuant to this Section 10(a) is not consummated for any reason, except as otherwise set forth in the definitive documentation related thereto.
(b)    Expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, the Wafra Participation Buyer(s) and the Tag-Along Sellers shall each pay their respective pro rata share (based on aggregate proceeds to be received in connection with such Transfer by the applicable Wafra Participation Buyer(s) and the Tag-Along Seller(s)) of the aggregate expenses incurred by all of the applicable Wafra Entities and Tag-Along Seller(s) in connection with any proposed sale or Transfer of the nature referred to in this Section 10.
Section 11.    Drag-Along Rights.
(a)    Drag-Along Sale. If the Persons holding Ownership Interests in the Company representing (i) 50% or more of the voting power of all such outstanding Ownership Interests, in the aggregate, and (ii) the entitlement to receive 50% or more of all distributions, including distributions of Carried Interest, individually or in the aggregate (the “Drag-Along Sellers”) desire to Transfer to any Purchaser, Ownership Interests in the Company representing (1) 50% or more of the voting power of all such outstanding Ownership Interests, in the aggregate, and (2) the entitlement to receive 50% or more of all distributions, including distributions of Carried Interest, whether in one transaction or a series of related transactions (any such transaction or series of related transactions, a “Drag-Along Sale”), then the Company and CCOC shall or shall cause the Drag-Along Sellers to give thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Wafra Representative of the Drag-Along Sale (a “Drag-Along Notice”) which notice shall identify the Purchaser, the percentage of its Ownership Interests proposed to be Transferred in the Drag-Along Sale, the applicable percentage of the then-issued Ownership Interests that such proposed Transfer represents and a summary of the other material terms and conditions of the proposed Drag-Along Sale.  To the extent not previously provided, each Drag-Along Seller shall make available to the Wafra Participation Buyer all material information made available to the Purchaser in connection with the Drag-Along Sale and any other information reasonably requested by the Wafra Representative to the extent available, and (subject to the Wafra Participation Buyer’s rights under Section 12 and Section 13) require the Wafra Participation Buyer(s) holding Ownership Interests to sell to the Purchaser at the same price

-34-

LA_LAN01:362817.14



per Ownership Interest and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as those being offered to the Drag-Along Sellers (except as set forth in Section 12(a)) that percentage of their Ownership Interests (the “Wafra Dragged Interests”) either (x) as is equal to the percentage of the then issued Ownership Interests proposed to be sold by the Drag-Along Sellers or (y) as is equal to 100% of the Ownership Interests owned by the Wafra Participation Buyers, at the option of the Company.
(b)    Wafra Dragged Interests. Following receipt of a Drag-Along Notice, the Wafra Participation Buyer(s) holding Ownership Interests shall be obligated to sell to the Purchaser the Wafra Dragged Interests at the same time as the Drag-Along Sellers to the Purchaser. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, the Wafra Participation Buyer(s) shall only be required to Transfer the Wafra Dragged Interests in the event that the Purchaser accepts and purchases all of the Wafra Dragged Interests required by the terms of this Agreement to be acquired by the Purchaser in connection with such Drag-Along Sale.
Section 12.    Other Tag and Drag Provisions.
(a)    Accelerated Change of Control Transaction.
(i)    Generally. Notwithstanding Section 10(a) or Section 11(a), in connection with any proposed merger, consolidation or business combination or Specified Colony Change of Control or in connection with any proposed Transfer of the nature referred to in Section 10(a) or Section 11(a) (including for purposes of this Section 12(a)(i) any Transfer to personnel of the Colony Capital Group or Digital Colony Personnel), in each case that would result in Colony Capital (A) no longer directly or indirectly owning a majority of the Ownership Interests or (B) ceasing to Control the Digital Colony Management Parties (an “Accelerated Change of Control Transaction”), then by written notice to the Digital Colony Representative to be delivered within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Tag-Along Notice or Drag-Along Notice, as the case may be, the Wafra Participation Buyer(s) may elect to Transfer, or pursuant to Section 10(a) (if applicable), the Company may elect to require the Wafra Participation Buyer(s) to Transfer, to the Purchaser (and in the case of a Specified Colony Change of Control, the right of the Wafra Participation Buyer(s) to Transfer the Ownership Interests to the Purchaser shall be a condition to the consummation of such transaction), 100% of the Wafra Participation Buyers’ Ownership Interests, subject to Section 12(c) and Section 13, at the same price per Ownership Interest and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as those being offered to the Tag-Along Seller or Drag-Along Seller or, in the case of a Specified Colony Change of Control, the applicable seller or sellers in such Specified Colony Change of Control, mutatis mutandis. For the avoidance of doubt, in the event of an Accelerated Change of Control Transaction, the Wafra Entities shall be entitled to sell 100% of their Ownership Interests. In connection with any Accelerated Change of Control Transaction, any Specified Investments, Warehouse Investments, Sponsor Commitments and Identified Sponsor Commitments shall become freely transferable.
(ii)    Accelerated Change of Control Amount.

(b)    Additional Conditions to Tag-Along Sales and Drag-Along Sales. In connection with any Tag-Along Sale or Drag-Along Sale (for the avoidance of doubt, including any Accelerated Change of Control Transaction), the Wafra Participation Buyer(s) shall execute all appropriate documents reasonably necessary to Transfer ownership of the Tagging Interest or Wafra Dragged Interest, as the case may be; provided, that such Wafra Participation Buyer(s) (a) shall only be required to give customary representations and warranties with respect to such Wafra Participation Buyer’s due organization, authority to enter into applicable Transfer documentation, non-contravention of applicable Laws and material agreements, or required approvals of any Governmental Authority (in respect of which a Wafra Entity is a party), and free and clear title of the relevant Ownership Interests, (b) shall not be required to provide any indemnification with respect to any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by any other Person, including any Colony Party (for the avoidance of doubt, subject to subclause (a), such Wafra Participation Buyer(s) may be required to provide indemnification in respect of its own representations, warranties, covenants or agreements), (c) shall not be required to bear more than its pro rata portion (based on proceeds received by such Wafra Participation Buyer(s) as compared to the aggregate proceeds in connection with the Transfer) of any indemnification obligation with respect to the representations, warranties and covenants of the other owners of the Ownership Interests (which shall not in any event exceed the net proceeds received by such Wafra Participation Buyer(s) in consideration for the Transfer of such Tagging Interest or Wafra Dragged Interest, as the case may be), and (d) except for confidentiality restrictions consistent with those set forth in this Agreement, shall not be required to agree to any non-compete or other similar restrictive covenants. In addition, each Wafra Participation Buyer and each Colony Party shall cooperate in good faith to effect such Tag-Along Sale or Drag-Along Sale in such a manner so as to minimize any adverse legal, regulatory or tax consequences to such Wafra Participation Buyer and the Company and its Subsidiaries and to minimize the Parties’ obligations to obtain any consents from a third party or Governmental Authority.
(c)    Consideration.
(i)    Valuation. In connection with any Tag-Along Sale, Drag-Along Sale or Accelerated Change of Control Transaction, in evaluating whether the relevant Ownership Interests are being sold at the same price per Ownership Interest and on the same terms and subject to the same conditions that are applicable to the Tag-Along Sale or Drag-Along Sale proposed by the Tag-Along Sellers or Drag-Along Sellers, as applicable, pursuant to Section 10 or Section 11, the Digital Colony Representative, as applicable, and the Wafra Representative, will work together in good faith to agree on the valuation for the Ownership Interests being sold by the Wafra Participation Buyers, based on the value ascribed by the Purchaser to the Ownership Interests being Transferred and taking into account all of the economics offered to the Tag-Along Sellers and Drag-Along Sellers, as applicable, and each of their respective Affiliates (other than industry standard compensation for future services rendered that are bona fide market compensatory payments), but without regard to time constraint or any contractual restriction, minority, lack of liquidity or marketability, or similar discount; provided, that for purposes of this Section 12(c)(i), any securities to be received as consideration in connection with a Tag-Along Sale or a Drag-Along Sale (to the extent permitted hereunder) shall be valued at the fair market value thereof on a post-transaction basis (and not at the value of the Ownership Interests that, absent this Section 12(c)(i), would

-36-

LA_LAN01:362817.14



otherwise be exchanged therefor) which fair market value shall not give effect, for purposes hereof, to any discounts as to lack of liquidity, marketability or minority interest or similar discount.
(ii)    Independent Appraiser. Absent agreement by the relevant parties with respect to the valuation of the Ownership Interests held by the Wafra Participation Buyers, any applicable Tag-Along Sellers or Drag-Along Sellers or, in the case of an Accelerated Change of Control Transaction that is a Specified Colony Change of Control, the seller in such Specified Colony Change of Control, as the case may be, and the Digital Colony Representative and the Wafra Representative, shall jointly select an Independent Appraiser to determine the value of the Ownership Interests, who will be instructed to take into account the value of any offer made by an independent third party in making its determination; provided, that the Independent Appraiser shall not be permitted or authorized to determine a valuation of the Ownership Interests that is outside of the range of the valuation of the Ownership Interests proposed by the Wafra Representative, on the one hand, and the Tag-Along Sellers or the Drag-Along Sellers, as the case may be, on the other hand. The Independent Appraiser shall be instructed, as soon as reasonably practicable but within thirty (30) days of the date of the engagement of the Independent Appraiser, to complete its valuation of the Ownership Interests proposed to be Transferred in connection with such transaction, giving due regard to the transaction with the applicable Purchaser, the different series, classes or types of Ownership Interests (taking in account the factors described in Section 12(c)(i)) and other assets included in the transaction, and other relevant market factors. The determination of the Independent Appraiser shall be final, binding and conclusive on all parties hereto for all purposes of this Agreement. In connection with the Independent Appraiser’s determination of the value of such Ownership Interests, the Independent Appraiser shall have reasonable access to the Digital Colony Companies’ management team and the books, records and other information reasonably requested by such the Independent Appraiser. The fees and expenses of the Independent Appraiser shall be borne by the Wafra Representative, on the one hand, and by the Tag-Along Sellers or the Drag-Along Sellers, as the case may be, on the other hand, in inverse proportion as they may prevail on the matters resolved by the Independent Appraiser based on the valuation of the Ownership Interests submitted by each of the Wafra Representative and the Tag-Along Sellers or the Drag-Along Sellers, as the case may be, which proportionate allocation shall be calculated on an aggregate basis based on the relative dollar values of the amount of the valuation in dispute and shall be determined by the Independent Appraiser at the time its determination is rendered on the merits of the matters submitted.
(iii)    Minimum Return Threshold. Without limitation of any other provision in this Section 12(c), in the event of a Drag-Along Sale or an Accelerated Change of Control Transaction prior to July 17, 2025, the Wafra Participation Buyer will be entitled to receive, and the Company shall cause the Wafra Participation Buyer to receive, consideration in respect of such Ownership Interests equal to (1) prior to the second anniversary of the Closing, the product of (x) the percentage of such Wafra Participation Buyer’s total Ownership Interests to be sold in such Transfer, and (y) (i) 1.5 times the aggregate Participation Rights Consideration Amount paid by such Wafra Participation Buyer, (ii) minus any distributions received by such Wafra Participation Buyer in respect of the Ownership Interests; (2) after the second anniversary of the Closing and prior to the third anniversary of the Closing, the product of (x) the percentage of such Wafra Participation Buyer’s total Ownership Interests be sold in such Transfer, and (y) (i) 1.75 times the aggregate Participation Rights Consideration Amount paid by such Wafra Participation Buyer, (ii)

-37-

LA_LAN01:362817.14



minus any distributions received by such Wafra Participation Buyer in respect of the Ownership Interests; and (3) after the third anniversary of the Closing, the product of (x) the percentage of such Wafra Participation Buyer’s total Ownership Interests to be sold in such Transfer, and (y) (i) 2.0 times the Participation Rights Consideration Amount paid by such Wafra Participation Buyer (ii) minus any distributions received by such Wafra Participation Buyer in respect of the Ownership Interests (such applicable amount, the “Minimum Return Threshold”).
(iv)    In connection with any Accelerated Change of Control Transaction or Drag-Along Sale, (i) the relevant Wafra Participation Buyers will receive per Ownership Interest consideration pro rata with the other owners of Ownership Interests (including, directly or indirectly, any member of the Colony Capital Group) and taking into account any differences in value as set forth in this Section 12(c)), (ii) such Accelerated Change of Control Transaction will be subject to the Minimum Return Threshold, if applicable, and (iii) in such Accelerated Change of Control Transaction or Drag-Along Sale, the relevant Wafra Participation Buyer(s) shall be entitled to receive 100% cash consideration. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 12(c)(iv) in no way limits the Wafra Participation Buyer’s right to effect a 100% sale pursuant to Section 12(a).
(v)    For the avoidance of doubt, the Wafra Participation Buyer(s) and the Tag-Along Sellers or Drag-Along Sellers, as applicable, shall each pay their respective pro rata share (based on aggregate proceeds to be received in connection with such Transfer by the applicable Wafra Participation Buyer(s) and the Tag-Along Seller(s) or the Drag-Along Seller(s) as applicable) of the aggregate expenses incurred by all of the applicable Wafra Participation Buyer(s) and the Tag-Along Seller(s) or the Drag-Along Seller(s), as applicable, in connection with any proposed sale or Transfer of the nature referred to in Section 10, Section 11, or Section 12(a).
Section 13.    SPE Investor. In the event of a Tag-Along Sale, a Drag-Along Sale or a Transfer pursuant to Section 12(a), in each case in which one or more of the Wafra Participation Buyer(s) are Transferring all of their Ownership Interests in the Company, the Company, its Subsidiaries and CCOC shall reasonably cooperate with the Wafra Representative to structure such Transfer with respect to each such Wafra Participation Buyer that is, or that has any direct or indirect owner that is, in each case, a special purpose vehicle (each, an “SPE Investor”) to include each such SPE Investor in such Tag-Along Sale, Drag-Along Sale or Transfer, on the terms of such Tag-Along Sale, Drag-Along Sale or Transfer, or the consummation of such Tag-Along Sale, Drag-Along Sale or Transfer, it being understood and agreed that any costs associated with such inclusion (including reduced transaction value due to the inclusion of such special purpose vehicles) shall be borne solely by such Wafra Participation Buyer. In addition, in connection with any IPO described in Section 14, the Company, its Subsidiaries and CCOC shall reasonably cooperate with the Wafra Representative to cause each SPE Investor to be contributed to the IPO entity in exchange for equity of the IPO entity.
Section 14.    Registration Rights. In the event that, following a transaction or series of transactions whereby assets of Colony Capital or CCOC are transferred or otherwise disposed of such that the Digital Colony Business comprises 90% or more of the asset value of Colony Capital (a “Specified Colony Asset Transaction”), Colony Capital, CCOC and the Wafra Participation Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in order to allow the Wafra Participation

-38-

LA_LAN01:362817.14



Buyer to convert its Ownership Interests into an amount of shares of Colony Capital (or any publicly traded parent company or the applicable publicly traded vehicle) common stock (and Colony Capital, CCOC and the Wafra Participation Buyer will discuss in good faith the manner of implementation of such conversion) such that the Wafra Participation Buyer is entitled to such share of the total issued and outstanding publicly traded equity as the Wafra Participation Buyer’s interest in the Company and its Subsidiaries bears to the value of Colony Capital (or any such publicly traded parent company or publicly traded vehicle) as a whole, and to grant customary and appropriate registration rights. In the event and to the extent that (a) the Company and its Subsidiaries (or successor corporation thereto), or other entity formed for the purposes of an IPO of the Digital Colony Business, reasonably expects to undertake an IPO (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, a Spin‑Off), (b) any shares of common stock of Colony Capital are issued pursuant to Section 8, or (c) one or more of the Warrants are exercised, the Wafra Representative, the Digital Colony Representative and Colony Capital shall enter into one or more registration rights agreements (and, if applicable, exchange and/or conversion agreements) in good faith, in respect of the underlying securities issued in any of the circumstances set forth in clauses (a), (b) or (c) of this Section 14, which shall provide, among other things, the Wafra Participation Buyer(s) with the rights with respect to such securities as set forth on Exhibit A, but only to the extent that such securities are not freely tradeable on the NYSE or NASDAQ. For the avoidance of doubt, the Wafra Participation Buyer shall only be permitted to participate directly in any such IPO to the extent Colony Capital (or its Affiliates other than the IPO entity) is selling secondary shares therein (and then on a pro rata basis based on their respective Ownership Interests in relation to the shares sold by Colony Capital).
Section 15.    Preemptive Rights.
(a)    Generally. Other than dilution pursuant to the Management Incentive Plan pursuant to Section 3.4(c) of the DCMH Investor Rights Agreement, until the earliest of (x) the Conversion (as defined in the Investment Agreement), (y) the exercise of the CFIUS Redemption Right and the corresponding redemption of the Convertible Preferred Interest pursuant to the Investment Agreement or (z) such time that the Regulatory Decision Period (as defined in the Investment Agreement) has expired and CFIUS Approval has not been obtained and DCMH does not exercise the CFIUS Redemption Right within the exercise period therefor, the Ownership Interests of the Wafra Participation Buyers will not be subject to direct or indirect dilution. Thereafter, the Ownership Interests of the Wafra Participation Buyers will be subject to pro rata dilution only for issuances of New Company Interests for cash by the Company to any Third-Party Purchaser alongside the other equityholders of the Company or its Subsidiaries (including, for the avoidance of doubt, alongside Colony Capital) in the case of business combinations, acquisitions, third-party capital raises, strategic partnerships and/or joint ventures, and subject, to the extent applicable, to any other preemptive, tag-along or other similar rights of the Wafra Participation Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, except as set forth in this Section 15(a) and subject to the procedures set forth in Section 15(b), in no event shall any Wafra Entity’s Ownership Interests, directly or indirectly, be diluted without Wafra Consent.
(b)    Dilution. No redemption or repurchase of Ownership Interests of the Company or its Subsidiaries shall be permitted without Wafra Consent, unless such redemption or repurchase would not be dilutive of the Wafra Entities’ Ownership Interests, the Wafra Entities do

-39-

LA_LAN01:362817.14



not bear any portion of the redemption or repurchase proceeds used to effect such redemption or repurchase and the Wafra Entities do not otherwise bear any expense in respect thereto. To the extent any dilution permitted pursuant to Section 15(a) is reversed in any manner, the applicable Interests of the Wafra Entities shall accrete but only to the extent of such prior dilution of the Ownership Interests.
(c)    Preemptive Rights on New Issuances.
(i)    New Issuances. If at any time the Company or any of its Subsidiaries proposes to issue New Company Interests in exchange for cash, each Wafra Participation Buyer shall have the right to purchase such New Company Interests on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 15(c).
(ii)    Notice of New Company Interests. The Digital Colony Representative shall deliver to each Wafra Participation Buyer a written notice of any proposed issuance of New Company Interests (the “Issue Notice”), describing (i) the type of New Company Interests, (ii) the amount of New Company Interests proposed to be issued, (iii) the per interest price of such New Company Interests (the “Issue Price”), and (iv) the general terms upon which the Company or the applicable Subsidiary proposes to issue the same at least thirty five (35) days prior to the closing of the proposed sale of such New Company Interests.
(iii)    Preemptive Right. At any time following receipt of the Issue Notice until five (5) days prior to the closing date of the proposed sale as set forth in the Issue Notice (such period of time, the “Election Period”) after receipt of the Issue Notice, each Wafra Participation Buyer may, by giving written notice to the Digital Colony Representative, elect to purchase that number of New Company Interests such that its Specified Percentage would not be reduced as a result of the issuance of such New Company Interests, at the Issue Price and on the terms set forth in the Issue Notice (such number with respect to such Wafra Participation Buyer, its “Pro Rata Portion”). At the option of the Wafra Participation Buyers, the rights set forth in this Section 15(c)(iii) shall be satisfied by structuring such issuance or acquisition of Ownership Interests as either an equity interest or contractual rights substantially similar to the rights of the Wafra Participation Buyers set forth in this Agreement.
(iv)    Purchase Price. The purchase price for the New Company Interests purchased by a Wafra Participation Buyer under this Section 15(c) shall be an aggregate amount in cash equal to the Issue Price multiplied by its Pro Rata Portion of the proposed issuance.
(v)    Payment. Payment of the amount calculated pursuant to Section 15(c)(iv) shall be made by the Wafra Participation Buyer paying such amount by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account or accounts designated by the Digital Colony Representative, at the same times and in the same manner as the other participants in the applicable issuance.
(vi)    Company’s Right to Issue. In the event the Digital Colony Representative delivers the Issue Notice described in Section 15(b)(ii) and no Wafra Participation Buyer has elected to exercise its rights set forth in Section 15(b)(iii) within the Election Period, the Company or its Subsidiary proposing to issue New Company Interests pursuant to such Issue Notice will have one hundred twenty (120) days from the end of the Election Period to sell all such New Company Interests at a price and upon terms no more favorable to the purchasers thereof than the

-40-

LA_LAN01:362817.14



price and terms specified in the Issue Notice. In the event the Company or such Subsidiary has not sold all such New Company Interests within said one hundred twenty (120) day period, then the Company or such Subsidiary will not thereafter issue or sell any New Company Interests without first offering such New Company Interests to each Wafra Participation Buyer the manner provided herein.
(vii)    Cooperation. Each Wafra Participation Buyer and each Colony Party shall cooperate in good faith to effect such transaction in such a manner so as to minimize any adverse legal, regulatory or tax consequences to such Wafra Participation Buyer and the Company or such Subsidiaries and to minimize the Parties’ obligations to obtain any consents from a third party or Governmental Authority.
(viii)    Impracticability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a reasonable business need makes it impracticable to provide the Wafra Participation Buyer(s) notice and implement the procedures required to be implemented hereunder in accordance with this Section 15(c), the Company or its Subsidiaries may issue and sell New Company Interest without first complying with the terms of this Section 15(c) as such business need and impracticability is determined by the GP; provided, that as promptly as reasonably practicable (and no later than thirty (30) days following such issuance or sale) (i) the purchasers of such New Company Interests shall offer to sell to each applicable Wafra Participation Buyer the portion of such purchased New Company Interests that equals such Wafra Participation Buyer’s Pro Rata Portion of such New Company Interests or (ii) the Company and its Subsidiaries shall offer to issue an incremental amount of New Company Interests to each Wafra Participation Buyer sufficient to constitute such Wafra Participation Buyer’s Pro Rata Portion of such New Company Interests had the Company complied with this Section 15(c), in each case, at a purchase price no more, and on terms no less, favorable to such Wafra Participation Buyers than those applicable to such purchasers, using a process substantially similar to that set forth in this Section 15(c); provided, further, that any such New Company Interests issued or sold to a Wafra Participation Buyer pursuant to this Section 15(c)(viii) shall entitle such Wafra Participation Buyer to retroactively receive the economics with respect to such New Company Interests accruing from and after the date of the initial issuance.
(d)    Anti-Dilution Protection. Without limitation of the provisions set forth in Section 15(a) or Section 15(b), until July 17, 2022, each Wafra Participation Buyer’s Ownership Interest will be subject to anti-dilution protection on a full ratchet basis in connection with any issuances or secondary sales of Ownership Interests to any Third-Party Purchaser at a lower valuation than the implied valuation of such Ownership Interests as of the date of this Agreement as a result of the completion of the Contemplated Transactions, and the Company and its Subsidiaries shall take, and CCOC shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to take, any action to afford such protection, including by way of example, (i) refunding in cash to such Wafra Participation Buyer the difference between the total price directly or indirectly paid by such Wafra Participation Buyer for its Ownership Interests and the total price paid by such third party (calculated as if such third party had purchased such Wafra Participation Buyer’s Ownership Interests for such price and taking into account such Wafra Participation Buyer’s Specified Percentage of the Ownership Interests) for the purchase by it of equity interests in the Company or its Subsidiaries, or (ii) equitably increasing such Wafra Participation Buyer’s Specified Percentages as if such Wafra Participation Buyer had purchased additional Ownership Interests at such lower valuation.

LA_LAN01:362817.14



Section 16.    New Colony Party. Subject to the restrictions on Transfers provided herein, to the extent of any assignment or Transfer by a Colony Party or CCOC to another Person, then CCOC shall cause such Person to execute and deliver to the Parties a joinder to this Agreement, and upon such execution to become a party to, and be bound by, the terms of this Agreement as “CCOC”, a “Colony Party” or “Colony Capital” hereunder, as applicable.
Section 17.    Confidentiality. The Parties agree that this Agreement and its contents, and any information provided or accessed hereunder are Confidential Information pursuant to the DCMH Investor Rights Agreement.
Section 18.    Indemnification.
(a)    Indemnification by the Digital Colony Funds. CCOC shall take all commercially reasonable actions within its control to cause the general partner (or comparable Person) of each future Digital Colony Fund to enter into Organizational Documents for each future Digital Colony Fund that contain indemnification provisions substantially similar, to those set forth in the Organizational Documents of Fund I as of the date of this Agreement, as such terms may be reasonably modified, based on the advice of external counsel, for any Digital Colony Fund organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware (the “Indemnification Arrangement”). In the event the Company believes, due to legal, commercial, regulatory or other reasons, that the general partner (or comparable Person) of a future Digital Colony Fund will not be able to implement the Indemnification Arrangement, the Company will consult in good faith with the Wafra Representative; provided, that in all cases, the Wafra Entities and Wafra Indemnified Parties shall have the same rights to indemnification as the comparable members of the Colony Capital Group and any Digital Colony Indemnitee. Such indemnification provisions shall provide rights to contractual rights holders and their personnel and equityholders to account for the nature of the Ownership Interests
(b)    Indemnification by the Company. Subject to the limitations expressly provided in this Agreement, all Indemnitees shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including reasonable legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all threatened, pending or completed claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal and including appeals (a “Proceeding”), in which any Indemnitee may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, by reason of its status as an Indemnitee and acting (or refraining to act) on behalf of the Company or its Subsidiaries or at the direction of the Company or its Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnitee shall not be indemnified and held harmless pursuant to this Agreement if there has been a final and non-appealable judgment entered by a court of competent jurisdiction determining that, in respect of the matter for which the Indemnitee is seeking indemnification pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnitee acted in bad faith or engaged in fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. Any indemnification pursuant to this Section 18 shall be made only out of the assets of the Company, it being agreed that the owners of Ownership Interests shall not be personally liable for such indemnification and shall have no obligation to contribute or loan any monies or property to the Company to enable it to effectuate such indemnification. Any right to indemnification conferred in this Section 18 shall include a right

-42-

LA_LAN01:362817.14



to be paid or reimbursed promptly by the Company for any and all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses as they are incurred by a Indemnitee entitled or authorized to be indemnified under this Section 18 who was, is or is threatened, to be made a named defendant or respondent in a Proceeding in advance of the final disposition of the Proceeding and without any determination as to such Indemnitee’s ultimate entitlement to indemnification; provided, that the payment of such expenses incurred by any such Indemnitee in advance of final disposition of a Proceeding shall be made only upon delivery to the Company of a written affirmation by such Indemnitee of its good faith belief that he has met the requirements necessary for indemnification under this Section 18 and a written undertaking by or on behalf of such Indemnitee to promptly repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be determined that such indemnified Person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Section 18 or otherwise.
(c)    Other Rights. The indemnification provided by this Section 18 shall be in addition to any other rights to which an Indemnitee may be entitled under any agreement, pursuant to any vote of the owners of Ownership Interests, as a matter of law, in equity or otherwise, both as to actions in the Indemnitee’s capacity as an Indemnitee and as to actions in any other capacity, and shall continue as to an Indemnitee who has ceased to serve in such capacity and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, successors, assigns and administrators of the Indemnitee.
(d)    Insurance. The Company may purchase and maintain insurance, on behalf of the Company, its Affiliates, the Indemnitees and such other Persons as the Company shall determine, against any liability that may be asserted against, or expense that may be incurred by, such Person in connection with the Company’s or any of its Affiliate’s activities or such Person’s activities on behalf of the Company or any of its Affiliates, regardless of whether the Company would have the power to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this Agreement.
(e)    Benefit. The provisions of this Section 18 are for the benefit of the Indemnitees and their heirs, successors, assigns, executors and administrators and shall not be deemed to create any rights for the benefit of any other Persons.
(f)    Amendment. Any amendment, modification or repeal of this Section 18 or any provision hereof shall be prospective only and shall not in any manner terminate, reduce or impair the right of any past, present or future Indemnitee to be indemnified by the Company, nor the obligations of the Company to indemnify any such Indemnitee under and in accordance with the provisions of this Section 18 as in effect immediately prior to such amendment, modification or repeal with respect to claims arising from or relating to matters occurring, in whole or in part, prior to such amendment, modification or repeal, regardless of when such claims may arise or be asserted.
(G)    APPLICATION. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND SUBJECT TO SECTION 18(b), THE PROVISIONS OF THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 18 ARE INTENDED BY THE OWNERS OF OWNERSHIP INTERESTS TO APPLY EVEN IF SUCH PROVISIONS HAVE THE EFFECT OF EXCULPATING THE INDEMNITEE FROM LEGAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE CONSEQUENCES OF SUCH PERSON’S NEGLIGENCE, FAULT OR OTHER CONDUCT.

(a)    Term. Unless earlier terminated pursuant to paragraph (b) below, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect unless and until terminated by the mutual written consent of each of the Parties hereto.

Section 20.    Miscellaneous.
(a)    Severability. The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall not affect the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement. In addition to the foregoing, any term or provision of this Agreement which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms or provisions of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.
(b)    Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND INTERPRETED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (EXCLUDING CONFLICT OF LAW RULES AND PRINCIPLES).
(c)    Dispute Resolution. Without limiting the rights of any Party under paragraph (d) below, each of the Parties irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York located in the borough of Manhattan in the City of New York, or if such court does not have jurisdiction, the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, for the purposes of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby. To the extent that service of process by mail is permitted by applicable Law, each Party irrevocably consents to the service of process in any such suit, action or other proceeding in such courts by the mailing of such process by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at its address for notices provided for herein. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any Person to serve process in any other manner permitted by Law. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in (a) the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York or (b) the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. The Parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive trial by jury in any legal action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other agreement entered into in connection therewith and for any counterclaim with respect thereto.

(d)    Specific Performance. The Parties agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. Accordingly, the Parties agree that, in addition to any other remedies, each Party shall be entitled to seek to enforce the terms of this Agreement by a decree of specific performance without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy. Each Party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. Each Party further agrees that such Party shall oppose the granting of an injunction or specific performance as provided herein on the basis that any other Party has an adequate remedy at law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.

ANNEX A
1.    General Provisions.
a.    The economic arrangement among the Parties hereto in respect of the Carried Interest is embodied in the Carried Interest Participation Agreement and this Annex shall not be construed in a manner that is contrary to such arrangement, it being understood that this Annex shall govern solely the tax consequences and tax related matters of such arrangement.
b.    Any termination of the Carried Interest Participation Agreement or Transfer of any Party’s rights and obligations under the Carried Interest Participation Agreement shall not affect the continuing application of the provisions of this Annex, and those provisions providing for the resolution of all matters regarding U.S. federal income tax reporting. The provisions of this Annex shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Wafra Participation Buyer, CFI RE Holdco and the GP and their successors and assigns.
c.    Capitalized terms used in this Annex that are not otherwise defined in the Agreement have the meanings given to them in the Partnership Agreement.
2.    Certain Definitions. For the purposes of this Annex and the Partnership Agreement, the following terms shall have the following meanings.
Adjusted Capital Account Deficit” means, with respect to any Partner, the deficit balance, if any, in such Partner’s Capital Account as of the end of the relevant taxable year, or portion thereof, after giving effect to the following adjustments:
(a)    Credit to such Capital Account any amounts which such Partner is deemed to be obligated to restore pursuant to Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(c) and the penultimate sentences in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704-2(g)(l) and 1.704-2(i)(5); and
(b)    Debit to such Capital Account the items described in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704 l(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(5) and 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(6).
The foregoing definition of Adjusted Capital Account Deficit is intended to comply with the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d) and shall be interpreted consistently therewith.
Capital Account” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Section 5.1 of the Partnership Agreement, as amended by this Annex A.
Capital Contributions” shall mean with respect to any Partner, the amount of cash and the fair market value (on the date contributed) as determined by the GP of any other property contributed or deemed contributed to the capital of the Company by or on behalf of such Partner (or its predecessors in interest) with respect to the interest in the Company held by such Partner.



LA_LAN01:362817.14



Carried Interest Participation Agreement” means that certain Carried Interest Participation Agreement to which this Annex is attached.
Distributions” shall mean distributions made by the Company to Partners within the meaning of Section 731, including, for the avoidance of doubt, payments made to the Wafra Participation Buyer under Section 2(a) of the Carried Interest Participation Agreement.
Partner” shall mean a Person that is treated as a partner of the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, as a result of the transactions contemplated in the Carried Interest Participation Agreement, the Wafra Participation Buyer will be treated as a Partner of the Company.
Percentage Interests” shall mean (a) with respect to the Wafra Participation Buyer, the Specified Percentage, and (b) with respect to CFI RE Holdco (or, if CFI RE Holdco is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, its regarded owner), 100% minus the Specified Percentage.
Regulatory Allocations” shall have the meaning ascribed to such term in Section 5.3(e) of the Partnership Agreement, as amended by this Annex A.
3.    Amendments to the Partnership Agreement. The Partnership Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following as a new Article 5.
5.    Capital Accounts and Tax Allocations
5.1    Capital Accounts.
5.1.1    Each Partner shall have a single book capital account which reflects each Partner’s Capital Contributions to the Company (a “Capital Account”) and a single tax capital account which reflects the adjusted tax basis of the Capital Contributions contributed by each Partner to the Company. Each Capital Account and tax capital account shall also reflect the allocations made pursuant to Section 5.1.2 and Section 5.2, Distributions, and otherwise be maintained and adjusted in accordance with Code Section 704 and the principles set forth in Regulations Sections 1.704-1(b) and 1.704-2.
5.1.2    After application of Section 5.2, any remaining net profits or losses of the Company for the taxable year (or items of income, gain, loss or deduction) shall be allocated among the Partners in a manner such that the Capital Account of each Partner, immediately after making such allocation, and after taking into account Distributions made during such taxable year, or portion thereof it, as nearly as possible, equal (proportionately) to (a) the Distributions that would be made to such Partner in a hypothetical liquidation of the Company as of the close of such year (assuming for purposes of such hypothetical liquidation that all the assets of the Company are sold at prices equal to their gross fair market values at the time of their contributions to the Company (and as adjusted as necessary or appropriate to reflect



LA_LAN01:362817.14



the relative economic interests of the Partners in the Company, as determined in good faith by the GP and approved by all Partners, and adjusted in a manner consistent with Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m)) and the net proceeds thereof are distributed to the Partners in accordance with their Percentage Interests after the payment of all Company liabilities were satisfied (limited, in the case of recourse liabilities, to the collateral securing or otherwise available to satisfy such liabilities)), minus (b) any amounts that the Partner is deemed obligated to restore under Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(g)(1) and 1.704-2(i)(5). For the avoidance of doubt, the allocations of Company items of income, gain, deduction, loss or credit are intended to achieve the economic arrangement between the Partners as contemplated by Section 2(a) of the Carried Interest Participation Agreement.
5.2    Regulatory Allocations.
(a)    Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, (i) “partner nonrecourse deductions” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i)), if any, of the Company shall be allocated for each period to the Partner that bears the economic risk of loss within the meaning of Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(i) and (ii) “nonrecourse deductions” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.704-2(b)) and “excess nonrecourse liabilities” (as defined in Treasury Regulations Section 1.752-3(a)), if any, of the Company shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with their Percentage Interests.
(b)    This Agreement hereby includes “qualified income offset,” “minimum gain chargeback” and “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain chargeback” provisions within the meaning of the Treasury Regulations under Section 704(b) of the Code. Accordingly, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, items of gross income shall be allocated to the Partners on a priority basis to the extent and in the manner required by such provisions.
(c)    To the extent that items of loss or deduction otherwise allocable to a Partner hereunder would cause such Partner to have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as of the end of the taxable year to which such items of loss or deduction relate (after taking into account the allocation of all items of income and gain for such taxable period), such items of loss or deduction shall not be allocated to such Partner and instead shall be allocated to the Partners in accordance with Section 5.1 as if such Partner were not a Partner.
(d)    If any Partner has an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit at the end of any taxable year, such Partner shall be specially allocated items of income and gain in the amount of such Adjusted Capital Account Deficit as quickly as possible, provided that an allocation pursuant to this Section 5.2(d) shall be made only if and to the extent that such Partner would have an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit after all other allocations provided for in this Section 5.2(d) have been made as if Section 5.2(c) and this Section 5.2(d) were not in this Agreement.
(e)    Any allocations required to be made pursuant to Section 5.2(a)-(d) of this Agreement (the “Regulatory Allocations”) (other than allocations, the effects of which are likely to be offset in the future by other Regulatory Allocations) shall be taken into account,



LA_LAN01:362817.14



to the extent permitted by the Treasury Regulations, in computing subsequent allocations of net profits or net losses pursuant to Section 5.1 so that the net amount of any items so allocated and all other items allocated to each Partner shall, to the extent possible, be equal to the amount that would have been allocated to each Partner pursuant to Section 5.1 had such Regulatory Allocations not occurred.
5.3    Tax Allocations. The allocations of Company items of income, gain, loss, or deduction for tax return and tax capital account purposes shall follow the principles of the allocations under Section 5.1, and recognizing the complexity of allocations for tax purposes, the GP shall have the authority to alter the Capital Account allocations and tax capital account allocations as reasonably necessary and as determined in good faith to effect the intended economic arrangement of the Partners as set forth in Section 2(a) of the Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, U.S. federal income tax items relating to any property that is contributed to the Company in which there is a difference between the basis of such property in the hands of the Company and the fair market value of such property at the time of its contribution shall be allocated among the Partners in accordance with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder in a manner reasonably determined by the GP in good faith to take into account the difference between the fair market value and the tax basis of such contributed property as of the date of its contribution to the Company. If any asset of the Company is revalued in accordance with Treasury Regulations 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(f), subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit with respect to such asset shall take account of any variation between the adjusted tax basis of such asset for federal income tax purposes and its value in a manner consistent with Section 704(c) of the Code and the Treasury Regulations thereunder in a manner reasonably determined by the GP in good faith to take into account the difference between the fair market value and the adjusted tax basis of such asset. Allocations pursuant to this Section 5.3 are solely for purposes of U.S. federal, state and local taxes and shall not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Partner’s Capital Account or share of net profits or losses and any other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of this Partnership Agreement.
4.    Certain Tax Covenants.
a.    Upon the request of any Wafra Participation Buyer in connection with any Transfer of an interest in the Company for U.S. federal income tax purposes, to the extent a valid election under Section 754 of the Code (and any corresponding provisions of state and local Law) may be made but is not in effect as of the taxable year in which such Transfer occurs with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary that is treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company and each Subsidiary with respect to which such Wafra Participation Buyer has requested such election(s) be made shall make and maintain such election(s) for the taxable year of the Company or such Subsidiary that includes the date of such Transfer.
b.    The Colony Parties shall (i) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain any exemption from, reduction in, or refund of, Taxes collected by way of withholding (or similar) imposed by any Taxing Authority (whether sovereign or local) with respect to amounts allocable to, received by, or distributable by the Company to the Wafra Participation Buyer (“Withholding Taxes”), (ii) notify the Wafra Participation Buyer of the amount of any Withholding Taxes imposed,



LA_LAN01:362817.14



(iii) to the extent the exemption from, reduction in, or refund of, Withholding Taxes is required to be applied for by the Wafra Participation Buyer, use commercially reasonable efforts to provide assistance upon the Wafra Participation Buyer’s reasonable request to enable the Wafra Participation Buyer to obtain any available reduction or refund of such Withholding Taxes, and (iv) provide the Wafra Participation Buyer with such information and documentation as it may reasonably request to enable it to seek any exemption from, reductions in, or refunds or credits of, Withholding Taxes to which it is entitled; provided, that the Wafra Participation Buyer shall reimburse the applicable Colony Parties for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses attributable to obtaining any exemption from, reduction in or refund of Withholding Taxes of the Wafra Participation Buyer. For the avoidance of doubt, Withholding Taxes shall include Taxes imposed pursuant to Section 1471 or Section 1472 of the Code or any successor provision.
c.    The Colony Parties shall each use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that each applicable Digital Colony Fund complies with any requirements of Sections 1471 or 1472 of the Code (including those set forth in Section 1471(b)(1) of the Code) (or any successor legislation) and any future Treasury or IRS guidance promulgated thereunder and any comparable provision of non-U.S. law that are necessary to avoid the imposition of withholding Taxes pursuant to Sections 1471(a) or 1472(a) of the Code. To the extent of any withholding Taxes imposed on an applicable Digital Colony Fund as a result of a “recalcitrant account holder” or non-compliant “foreign financial institution”, within the meaning of Section 1471(d) of the Code, such withholding Taxes shall be allocated to such recalcitrant account holders or non-compliant foreign financial institutions to the fullest extent possible.
d.    GP shall furnish to the Wafra Participation Buyer a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Schedule K-1 to Form 1065 (“IRS Schedule K-1”). The GP shall furnish to the Wafra Participation Buyer with respect to each year an estimated IRS Schedule K-1 or equivalent and applicable estimated state and local apportionment information by March 15 after the end of the taxable year, and a final IRS Schedule K-1 and final state and local apportionment information by August 1 after the end of the taxable year. Each Colony Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Wafra Participation Buyer upon reasonable request with respect to Tax matters attributable to such Wafra Participation Buyer’s interests in the Company.
e.    The Parties agree that the GP shall be designated as the “partnership representative” of the Company (within the meaning of Section 6223 of the Code) for each taxable year with respect to which the Wafra Participation Buyer owns an Ownership Interest and that the GP shall be bound by the same duties of good faith and fair dealing in its capacity as the “partnership representative” of the Company as would apply to a general partner of a Delaware limited partnership in which the Wafra Participation Buyer were a limited partner. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any Ancillary Agreement to the contrary, if a Colony Party receives a notice of final partnership adjustment from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service to which the Partnership Audit Rules are applicable, the “partnership representative” of the Company shall cause the Company to (i) (x) consult in good faith with the Wafra Participation Buyer, and consider in good faith any requests made by the Wafra Participation Buyer, with respect to whether to cause the Company to elect the application of Section 6226 of the Code, with respect to any imputed underpayment arising from such adjustment, and (y) if the “partnership representative” elects the application of Section 6226 of the Code, (i) furnish to each partner of the Company a statement of such partner’s share (based



LA_LAN01:362817.14



on the year to which such adjustment relates) of any adjustment to income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (as determined in the notice of final partnership adjustment) or (ii) use reasonable efforts to modify such imputed underpayment under Sections 6225(c)(3) and (4) of the Code, in each case with respect to any more than de minimis imputed underpayment arising from such adjustment, to the extent that such modifications are available (taking into account the tax status of the Wafra Participation Buyer and, if applicable, its direct or indirect owners, based on receipt of any needed information) and would reduce any Taxes payable by the Company with respect to the applicable imputed underpayment.  Any tax benefits resulting from any such modification and reduction shall, to the extent not prohibited under applicable Law, be allocated to the member to which the tax benefit relates. For the avoidance of doubt, to the extent that a Tax is imposed on, and paid by, the Company under the provisions of the Partnership Audit Rules, and such Tax is determined in good faith by the Company to be attributable to, or made on behalf of or in respect of, an equityholder of the Company (or one or more beneficial owners thereof), the Company shall (A) use best efforts to cause such Tax to be borne by such equityholder (or beneficial owner(s) thereof) and (B) in determining whether a Tax is so attributable, take into account the tax status of such equityholder (or beneficial owner(s) thereof). The provisions of this Section 4(d) shall also apply, mutatis mutandis, to the Subsidiaries of the Company that are treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes in respect of the U.S. federal, state and local income tax matters. The GP shall (i) promptly provide the Wafra Participation Buyer with notice of any tax audit, investigation or proceeding with respect to the Company, in each case, that would reasonably be expected to an adverse effect on the Wafra Participation Buyer (each, a “Tax Proceeding”), (ii) keep the Wafra Participation Buyer reasonably informed regarding any such Tax Proceeding, (iii) provide copies of any material pleadings, briefs, petition, submissions and correspondence to the Wafra Participation Buyer in connection with such Tax Proceeding, and (iv) shall not settle or otherwise compromise (or fail to settle or otherwise compromise) any such Tax Proceeding if it would have a disproportionate, material and adverse effect on the Wafra Participation Buyer (including, for this purpose, where the Wafra Participation Buyer is a pass-through entity for tax purposes, any direct or indirect owners of the Wafra Participation Buyer that are special purpose vehicles and treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purpose) without the Wafra Participation Buyer’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed).
f.    Notwithstanding anything in an applicable Organizational Document to the contrary, in the event of a Transfer of Interests in the Company by the Wafra Participation Buyer, allocations between the Wafra Participation Buyer and the applicable Transferee of the distributive shares of the various items of the Company’s income, gain, loss, deduction and credit as computed for Tax purposes shall be allocated between the Wafra Participation Buyer and such Transferee on a closing of the books basis or such other proper basis as the Wafra Participation Buyer and such Transferee shall reasonably agree.
g.    The GP shall furnish to the Wafra Participation Buyer any information necessary for Tax and regulatory filings or elections or otherwise reasonably requested by such Wafra Participation Buyer.
h.    The Colony Parties and the Wafra Participation Buyer agree to cooperate in good faith with respect to structuring any future Digital Colony Fund, including structuring the incentive compensation with respect to such Digital Colony Fund, to the fullest extent permitted



LA_LAN01:362817.14



by Law and to the extent that it does not have an adverse impact on the Colony Parties other than in an immaterial manner, as an incentive allocation rather than a fee.
i.    In the event of a Transfer of an Interest in the Company by the Wafra Participation Buyer, the GP shall cause the Company to (i) to the extent the GP is legally able to do so, deliver a certificate pursuant to Treasury Regulations section 1.1445-11T, duly executed in accordance with the requirements of such Treasury Regulation and dated as of the date of such Transfer, certifying that either (A) 50% or more of the value of the gross assets of the Company does not consist of “United States real property interests” (within the meaning of Section 897(c) of the Code) or (B) 90% or more of the value of the gross assets of the Company does not consist of “United States real property interests” (within the meaning of Section 897(c) of the Code) plus “cash or cash equivalents” (within the meaning of Treasury Regulations section 1.1445-11T(d)(1)), (ii) to the extent it is legally able to do so, deliver any such information or certificates to the Wafra Participation Buyer and/or the applicable Transferee as would permit Tax withholding under Section 1446(f) of the Code (or any successor version thereof) to be reduced or eliminated; and (iii) reasonably cooperate with the Wafra Participation Buyer in reducing or eliminating any other applicable Tax withholding in connection with such Transfer; provided, that the Wafra Participation Buyer shall reimburse the GP for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the foregoing.
j.    Any requirement of the Wafra Participation Buyer to provide information about any investor in the Wafra Participation Buyer pursuant to this Agreement or any applicable Ancillary Agreement relating to Taxes shall be, unless otherwise required by Law, subject to commercially reasonable confidentiality restrictions imposed by the Wafra Participation Buyer and the Wafra Participation Buyer shall only be required to use commercially reasonable efforts to provide any such information about any investor in the Wafra Participation Buyer.
k.    The parties hereto agree to treat the Company and each of the Company’s Subsidiaries that are Digital Colony Companies as a partnership or as a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes and not to cause any such entities to elect to be, or otherwise be treated as, a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
l.    In the case of any investment by a Digital Colony Fund that the GP determines in its reasonable discretion is at the time of such investment (or, as part of such acquisition transaction, will become) a United States real property holding corporation (“USRPHC”) within the meaning of Section 897(c) of the Code, the GP agrees that it shall notify the Wafra Representative of such USRPHC status.  Upon the Wafra Representative’s request, the GP shall reasonably cooperate with the Wafra Representative in structuring any Wafra Participation Buyer’s beneficial interest in such investment in a manner reasonably intended to afford such Wafra Participation Buyer the benefits of Section 897(l) of the Code.
m.    Prior to a Digital Colony Fund making an investment outside of the United States, the general partner (or similar capacity) of that Digital Colony Fund shall obtain advice of tax counsel (or other tax advisors) that such investment should not cause the Wafra Participation Buyer to be subject to tax filing or tax payment obligations (including on income derived from such investment), other than filings required to obtain refunds of amounts withheld; provided, that the advice just described need only be obtained in respect of the first investment made in such jurisdiction



LA_LAN01:362817.14



by such Digital Colony Fund unless, subsequent to the date on which such advice was obtained, a change in law has occurred which could alter the advice. In the event the Wafra Participation Buyer becomes subject to income tax reporting requirements in any jurisdiction outside the United States in which the Company is engaged in activities which arise solely due to the Company’s or a Digital Colony Fund’s activities and for which the GP has actual knowledge, the GP shall reasonably promptly notify the Wafra Participation Buyer.

-4-



of distribution elected by such Holders, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act or any similar rule that may be adopted by the Commission.
(b)    If the Shelf Registration Statement filed in Section 2(a) is not an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to become or be declared effective under the Act no later than 180 days after the Closing Date.
(c)    The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep any Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended as required by the Act (including by way of preparing and filing with the Commission within the time limits required by Rule 415 under the Act or any successor rule thereto a new Shelf Registration Statement, and, if necessary, filing a new prospectus supplement pursuant to such new Shelf Registration Statement, in order to cover any Registrable Securities previously registered on a Shelf Registration Statement that may no longer be used for sales of such Registrable Securities and the Company shall use its best efforts to cause such New Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as practicable thereafter), in order to permit the Prospectus forming part thereof to be usable by Holders for a period (the “Shelf Registration Period”) from the date such Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission (or becomes effective in the case of an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement) or, in the case of a “universal” Shelf Registration Statement, the first date a prospectus supplement covering Registrable Securities is filed under such Shelf Registration Statement until the earlier of (i) the 30th trading day immediately following the maturity date of the Notes (subject to extension for any suspension of the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement during such 30 trading day period immediately following the maturity date by the length of such suspension) or (ii) the date upon which there are no Notes or Registrable Securities outstanding. The Company shall be deemed not to have used its commercially reasonable efforts to keep a Shelf Registration Statement effective during the Shelf Registration Period if it voluntarily takes any action that would result in Holders of Registrable Securities not being able to offer and sell such Common Stock at any time during the Shelf Registration Period, unless such action is (x) required by applicable law or otherwise undertaken by the Company in good faith and for valid business reasons (not including avoidance of the Company’s obligations hereunder), including the acquisition or divestiture of assets, and (y) permitted by Section 3(i) hereof. None of the Company, the Operating Company or any of their respective securityholders (other than Holders of Registrable Securities) shall have the right to include any securities of the Company or the Operating Company in any Shelf Registration Statement or, in the case of a “universal” Shelf Registration Statement, in any prospectus supplement for a “shelf takedown” registering Registrable Securities, other than Registrable Securities.
(d)    The Company shall cause a Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto, as of the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement or such amendment or supplement, (i) to comply in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Act; and (ii) not to contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.
(e)    The Company shall provide notice to each Holder at least twenty (20) Business Days prior to the anticipated effective date of the initial Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant hereto (such effective date shall also include the date of filing the initial prospectus supplement for a “shelf takedown” of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Company’s registration statement on Form S-3ASR, file no. 333-235886, which was filed by the Company with the Commission on January 10, 2020). Each Holder agrees to deliver a Notice and Questionnaire and such other information as the Company may reasonably request in writing, if any, to the Company at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the anticipated effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement as announced in such notice from the Company. If a Holder does not timely complete and deliver a Notice and Questionnaire or provide the other information the Company may reasonably request in writing, that Holder will not be named as a selling securityholder in the Prospectus and will not be permitted to sell its Registrable Securities under such Shelf Registration Statement. From and after the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts, on the first (1st) Business Day of each month (i) to file with the Commission a post-effective amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement or to prepare and, if permitted or required by applicable law, to file a supplement, including any prospectus supplement for a “shelf takedown,” to the related Prospectus or an amendment or supplement to any document incorporated therein by reference or file any other required document so that the each Holder that


-5-



delivered a Notice and Questionnaire prior to the 20th day of the prior month is named as a selling securityholder in such Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus, and so that such Holder is permitted to deliver such Prospectus to purchasers of the Registrable Securities in accordance with applicable law and, if the Company shall file a post-effective amendment to such Shelf Registration Statement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such post-effective amendment to be declared effective under the Act as promptly as is practicable; (ii) provide such Holder, upon request, copies of any documents filed pursuant to Section 2(e)(i) hereof; and (iii) notify such Holder as promptly as practicable after the effectiveness under the Act of any post-effective amendment filed or the filing of any supplement, including any prospectus supplement for a “shelf takedown,” to the related Prospectus, pursuant to Section 2(e)(i) hereof; provided, that if such Notice and Questionnaire is delivered during a Deferral Period, the Company shall so inform the Holder delivering such Notice and Questionnaire and shall take the actions set forth in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above upon expiration of the Deferral Period in accordance with Section 3(i) hereof. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company shall be under no obligation to name any Holder that is not a Notice Holder as a selling securityholder in a Shelf Registration Statement or related Prospectus; provided, however, that any Holder that becomes a Notice Holder pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2(e) (whether or not such Holder was a Notice Holder at the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement) shall be named as a selling securityholder in such Shelf Registration Statement or related Prospectus in accordance with the requirements of this Section 2(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if (A) the Notes are called for redemption and the then prevailing market price of the Common Stock is above the Exchange Price (as defined in the Indenture) or (B) the Notes are exchanged as provided for in Article 14 of the Indenture, then the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file a post-effective amendment or supplement, including any prospectus supplement for a “shelf takedown,” to the related Prospectus within five (5) Business Days of the Redemption Date (as defined in the Indenture) (as defined in the Indenture), as applicable, naming as a selling securityholder therein all Notice Holders that have completed and delivered a Notice and Questionnaire and provided the other information reasonably requested in writing by the Company, in each case on or before such Redemption Date, as applicable.
3.    Registration Procedures. The following provisions shall apply in connection with any Shelf Registration Statement.
(a)    The Company shall:
(i)    furnish to each of the Representatives and to counsel for the Notice Holders (as appointed in accordance with Section 4), not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the filing thereof with the Commission, a copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and each amendment thereto and each amendment or supplement, including any prospectus supplement for a “shelf takedown,” if any, to the Prospectus included therein (including all documents incorporated by reference therein after the initial filing) and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to reflect in each such document, when so filed with the Commission, such comments as the Representatives reasonably propose; and
(ii)    include information regarding the Notice Holders and the methods of distribution they have elected for their Registrable Securities provided to the Company in Notices and Questionnaires as necessary to permit such distribution by the methods specified therein.
(b)    The Company shall ensure that:
(i)    the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto and any Prospectus, including any prospectus supplement for a “shelf takedown,” forming part thereof and any amendment or supplement thereto complies in all material respects with the Act; and
(ii)    the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.
(c)    The Company shall advise the Representatives, the Notice Holders and any underwriter that has provided in writing to the Company a telephone or facsimile number and address for notices, and confirm such


-6-



advice in writing (which notice pursuant to clauses (ii) through (v) hereof shall be accompanied by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the Company shall have remedied the basis for such suspension):
(i)    when the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment thereto has been filed with the Commission and when the Shelf Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto has become effective;
(ii)    of any request by the Commission for any amendment or supplement to the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus, including any prospectus supplement for a “shelf takedown,” or for additional information;
(iii)    of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose or any other lapse in the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement during the Shelf Registration Period;
(iv)    of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification of the Common Stock included therein for sale in any jurisdiction or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for such purpose; and
(v)    of the happening of any event that requires any change in the Shelf Registration Statement or the Prospectus so that, as of such date, they (A) do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact and (B) do not omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of the Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.
(d)    The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or the qualification of the securities therein for sale in any jurisdiction and, if issued, to obtain as soon as possible the withdrawal thereof. The Company shall undertake additional reasonable actions as required to permit unrestricted resales of the Common Stock in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(e)    Upon request, the Company shall furnish to each Notice Holder, without charge, at least one copy of the Shelf Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment thereto, including all material incorporated therein by reference, and, if a Notice Holder so requests in writing, all exhibits thereto (including exhibits incorporated by reference therein).
(f)    During the Shelf Registration Period, the Company shall promptly deliver to each Initial Purchaser, each Notice Holder, and any sales or placement agents or underwriters acting on their behalf, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus (including the preliminary Prospectus, if any) included in the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement, including any prospectus supplement for a “shelf takedown,” thereto as any such person may reasonably request. The Company consents to the use of the Prospectus or any amendment or supplement, including any prospectus supplement for a “shelf takedown,” thereto by each of the foregoing in connection with the offering and sale of the Common Stock.
(g)    Prior to any offering of Common Stock pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall (i) arrange for the qualification of the Common Stock for sale under the laws of such jurisdictions as any Notice Holder shall reasonably request and shall maintain such qualification in effect so long as required, and (ii) cooperate with the Holders in connection with any filings required to be made with FINRA; provided, that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified or to take any action that would subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising out of the Initial Placement or any offering pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, in any jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.
(h)    Upon the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(c)(ii) through Section 3(c)(v) hereof, the Company shall promptly (or within the time period provided for by Section 3(i) hereof, if applicable) prepare a post-effective amendment to the Shelf Registration Statement or an amendment or supplement, including any


-7-



prospectus supplement for a “shelf takedown,” to the related Prospectus or file any other required document to remedy the basis for any suspension of the Shelf Registration Statement and so that, as thereafter delivered to Initial Purchasers of the securities included therein, the Prospectus will not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(i)    Upon the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development, public filing with the Commission or any other material event that, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, makes it appropriate to suspend the availability of the Shelf Registration Statement and the related Prospectus, including any prospectus supplement for a “shelf takedown,” the Company shall give notice (without notice of the nature or details of such events) to the Notice Holders that the availability of the Shelf Registration Statement is suspended and, upon actual receipt of any such notice, each Notice Holder agrees not to sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement until such Notice Holder’s receipt of copies of the supplemented or amended Prospectus, including a prospectus supplement for a “shelf takedown,” provided for in Section 3(h) hereof, or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the Prospectus may be used, and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such Prospectus. The period during which the availability of the Shelf Registration Statement and any Prospectus is suspended pursuant to this Section 3(i) (the “Deferral Period”) shall not exceed 45 days in any 90-day period or 90 days in any 360-day period; provided, that, if the event triggering the Deferral Period relates to a proposed or pending material business transaction, the disclosure of which the board of directors of the Company determines in good faith would be reasonably likely to impede the ability to consummate the transaction or would otherwise be seriously detrimental to the Company and its subsidiaries taken a whole, the Company may extend the Deferral Period from 45 days to 60 days in any 90-day period or from 90 days to 120 days in any 360-day period.
(j)    The Company shall comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and shall make generally available to its securityholders an earnings statement satisfying the provisions of Section 11(a) of, and Rule 158 under, the Act as soon as practicable after the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement (such effective date shall include the date of filing a prospectus supplement for a “shelf takedown” of Registrable Securities to an effective Shelf Registration Statement) and in any event no later than 45 days after the end of a 12-month period (or 90 days, if such period is a fiscal year) beginning with the first month of the Company’s first fiscal quarter commencing after the such effective date.
(k)    The Company may require each Holder of Common Stock to be sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement to furnish to the Company such information regarding the Holder and the distribution of such Common Stock as the Company may from time to time reasonably require for inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement. The Company may exclude from the Shelf Registration Statement (including a prospectus supplement for a “shelf takedown” pursuant thereto) the Common Stock of any Holder that unreasonably fails to furnish such information within ten (10) Business Days after receiving such request.
(l)    Subject to Section 6 hereof, the Company shall enter into customary agreements (including, if requested, an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take all other appropriate actions in order to expedite or facilitate the registration or the disposition of the Common Stock, and in connection therewith, if an underwriting agreement is entered into, cause the same to contain customary indemnification provisions and procedures.
(m)    Subject to Section 6 hereof, the Company shall:
(i)    make reasonably available for inspection by the Holders of Common Stock to be registered thereunder, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Holders or any such underwriter all relevant financial and other records and pertinent corporate documents of the Company and its subsidiaries;
(ii)    cause the Company’s officers, directors, employees, accountants and auditors to supply all relevant information reasonably requested by the Holders or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with the Shelf Registration Statement as is customary for similar due diligence examinations;

(iii)    make such representations and warranties to the Holders of Common Stock registered thereunder and the underwriters, if any, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers to underwriters in primary underwritten offerings and covering matters including, but not limited to, those set forth in the Purchase Agreement;
(iv)    obtain opinions of counsel to the Company and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, scope and substance) shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Managing Underwriters, if any) addressed to each selling Holder and the underwriters, if any, covering such matters as are customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by such Holders and underwriters;
(v)    obtain “comfort” letters and updates thereof from the independent certified public accountants of the Company (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any subsidiary of the Company or of any business acquired by the Company for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in the Shelf Registration Statement), addressed to each selling Holder of Common Stock registered thereunder and the underwriters, if any, in customary form and covering matters of the type customarily covered in “comfort” letters in connection with primary underwritten offerings; and
(vi)    deliver such documents and certificates as may be reasonably requested by the Majority Holders or the Managing Underwriters, if any, including those to evidence compliance with Section 3(i) hereof and with any customary conditions contained in the underwriting agreement or other agreement entered into by the Company.
The actions set forth in clauses (iii) through (vi) of this Section 3(m) shall be performed in connection with any underwriting or similar agreement as and to the extent required thereunder.
(n)    In the event that any Broker-Dealer shall underwrite any Common Stock or participate in a public offering (within the meaning of the rules of FINRA) as a member of an underwriting syndicate or selling group, whether as a Holder of such Common Stock or as an underwriter, a placement or sales agent or a broker or dealer in respect thereof, or otherwise, the Company shall assist such Broker-Dealer in complying with the applicable rules and regulations of FINRA.
(o)    The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all other steps necessary to effect the registration of the Common Stock covered by the Shelf Registration Statement.
4.    Registration Expenses. The Company shall bear all expenses incurred in connection with the performance of its obligations under Section 2 and Section 3 hereof and shall reimburse the Holders for the reasonable fees and disbursements of one firm or counsel (which shall initially be Hogan Lovells US LLP, but which may be another nationally recognized law firm experienced in securities matters designated by the Majority Holders) to act as counsel for the Holders in connection therewith; provided, however, that such expenses shall not include, and the Company shall not have any obligation to pay, any underwriting fees, discounts or commissions attributable to the sale of such Registrable Securities, or any fees and expenses of any Broker-Dealer or other financial intermediary engaged by any Holder.
5.    Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company and the Operating Company agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Holder of Common Stock covered by any Shelf Registration Statement, each Initial Purchaser, the directors, officers, employees, Affiliates and agents of each such Holder or Initial Purchaser and each person who controls any such Holder or Initial Purchaser within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Shelf Registration Statement as originally filed or in any amendment thereof, or in any preliminary Prospectus or Prospectus, any Free Writing Prospectus or any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433 of the Act) filed or required to be filed pursuant to Rule 433(d) under the Act, or


-9-



in any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any preliminary Prospectus or any Prospectus, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, and agrees to reimburse each such indemnified party, as incurred, for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company and the Operating Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or the Operating Company by or on behalf of the party claiming indemnification specifically for inclusion therein. This indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability that the Company and the Operating Company may otherwise have to the indemnified party.
The Company and the Operating Company also agree to indemnify as provided in this Section 5(a) or contribute as provided in Section 5(d) hereof to Losses of each underwriter, if any, of Common Stock registered under any Shelf Registration Statement, its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates or agents and each person who controls such underwriter on substantially the same basis as that of the indemnification of the Initial Purchasers and the selling Holders provided in this Section 5(a) and shall, if requested by any Holder, enter into an underwriting agreement reflecting such agreement, as provided in Section 3(l) hereof.
(b)    Each Holder of securities covered by any Shelf Registration Statement (including each Initial Purchaser that is a Holder, in such capacity) severally and not jointly agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and the Operating Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who signs such Shelf Registration Statement and each person who controls the Company or the Operating Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Operating Company to each such Holder, but only with reference to written information relating to such Holder furnished to the Company or the Operating Company by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for inclusion in the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity. This indemnity agreement shall be acknowledged by each Notice Holder that is not an Initial Purchaser in such Notice Holder’s Notice and Questionnaire and shall be in addition to any liability that any such Notice Holder may otherwise have to the Company or the Operating Company.
(c)    Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 5 or notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 5, notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement thereof; but the failure so to notify the indemnifying party (i) will not relieve it from liability under Section 5(a) or Section 5(b) hereof unless and to the extent it did not otherwise learn of such action and such failure results in the forfeiture by the indemnifying party of substantial rights and defenses; and (ii) will not, in any event, relieve the indemnifying party from any obligations to any indemnified party other than the indemnification obligation provided in Section 5(a) or Section 5(b) hereof. The indemnifying party shall be entitled to appoint counsel (including local counsel) of the indemnifying party’s choice at the indemnifying party’s expense to represent the indemnified party in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which case the indemnifying party shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and expenses of any separate counsel, other than local counsel if not appointed by the indemnifying party, retained by the indemnified party or parties except as set forth below); provided, however, that such counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. Notwithstanding the indemnifying party’s election to appoint counsel (including local counsel) to represent the indemnified party in an action, the indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (including local counsel), and the indemnifying party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel if (i) the use of counsel chosen by the indemnifying party to represent the indemnified party would present such counsel with a conflict of interest; (ii) the actual or potential defendants in, or targets of, any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it and/or other indemnified parties that are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party; (iii) the indemnifying party shall not have employed counsel satisfactory to the indemnified party to represent the indemnified party within a reasonable time after notice of the institution of such action; or (iv) the indemnifying party shall authorize the indemnified party to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party. The indemnifying party shall indemnify and hold harmless the indemnified party from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and judgments by reason of any settlement of


-10-



any action effected (i) with its written consent, or (ii) without its written consent if the settlement is entered into more than twenty (20) Business Days after the indemnifying party received a request from the indemnified party for reimbursement for the fees and expenses of counsel (in any case where such fees and expenses are at the expense of the indemnifying party) and, prior to the date of such settlement, the indemnifying party has failed to comply with such reimbursement request. An indemnifying party will not, without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened claim, action, suit or proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential parties to such claim or action) unless such settlement, compromise or consent (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability arising out of such claim, action, suit or proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the indemnified party.
(d)    In the event that the indemnity provided in this Section 5 hereof is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party for any reason, then each applicable indemnifying party shall have a joint and several obligation to contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending loss, claim, liability, damage or action) (collectively “Losses”) to which such indemnifying party may be subject in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, from the Initial Placement and the Shelf Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses; provided, however, that in no case shall any Initial Purchaser be responsible, in the aggregate, for any amount in excess of the commission applicable to the Notes, as set forth in the Final Memorandum, nor shall any underwriter be responsible for any amount in excess of the underwriting discount or commission applicable to the securities purchased by such underwriter under such Shelf Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses, nor shall any Holder be responsible, in the aggregate, for any amount in excess of the amount by which the total amount received by such Holder with respect to its sale of securities covered by such Registration Statement exceeds the sum of (i) the amount paid by such Holder for such securities plus (ii) the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of an untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of such Holder. If the allocation provided by the immediately preceding sentence is unavailable for any reason, the indemnifying party and the indemnified party shall contribute in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative benefits but also the relative fault of such indemnifying party, on the one hand, and such indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Benefits received by the Company and the Operating Company shall be deemed to be equal to the total net proceeds from the Initial Placement (before deducting expenses) as set forth in the Final Memorandum. Benefits received by the Initial Purchasers shall be deemed to be equal to the total commissions as set forth in the Final Memorandum, and benefits received by any other Holders shall be deemed to be equal to the value of receiving Common Stock registered under the Act. Benefits received by any underwriter shall be deemed to be equal to the total underwriting discounts and commissions, as set forth on the cover page of the Prospectus forming a part of the Shelf Registration Statement which resulted in such Losses. Relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or any alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information provided by the indemnifying party, on the one hand, or by the indemnified party, on the other hand, the intent of the parties and their relative knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to above. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph (d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. For purposes of this Section 5, each person who controls a Holder within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act and each director, officer, employee and agent of such Holder shall have the same rights to contribution as such Holder, and each person who controls the Company or the Operating Company within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer of the Company or the Operating Company who shall have signed the Shelf Registration Statement and each director of the Company or the Operating Company shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company and the Operating Company, subject in each case to the applicable terms and conditions of this Section 5(d).


-11-



(e)    The provisions of this Section 5 shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of any Holder or the Company or the Operating Company or any of the indemnified persons referred to in this Section 5, and shall survive the sale by a Holder of securities covered by a Shelf Registration Statement.
6.    Underwritten Registrations. (a) In no event will the method of distribution of Registrable Securities take the form of an underwritten offering without the prior written consent of the Company.
(b)    If any shares of Common Stock covered by a Shelf Registration Statement are to be sold in an underwritten offering, the Managing Underwriters shall be selected by the Company, subject to the prior written consent of the Majority Holders, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
(c)    No person may participate in any underwritten offering pursuant to a Shelf Registration Statement unless such person (i) agrees to sell such person’s shares of Common Stock on the basis reasonably provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements; and (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements.
7.    Registration Defaults. If any of the following events shall occur, then the Company shall pay liquidated damages (the “Registration Default Damages”) to the Holders as follows:
(a)    if a Shelf Registration Statement (which shall be, if the Company is then a Well-Known Seasoned Issuer, an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement) or a prospectus supplement to an effective Shelf Registration Statement of the Company is not filed with the Commission on or prior to the 90th day following the Closing Date, then commencing on the 91st day after the Closing Date, Registration Default Damages shall accrue on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes, at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days from and including such 91st day and 0.50% per annum thereafter; or
(b)    if a Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission (or has not become effective in the case of an Automatic Shelf Registration Statement) on or prior to the 180th day following the Closing Date, then commencing on the 181st day after the Closing Date, Registration Default Damages shall accrue on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes, at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days from and including such 181st day and 0.50% per annum thereafter; or
(c)    if a Shelf Registration Statement has been declared or becomes effective but ceases to be effective or usable for the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities, other than in connection with (A) a Deferral Period or (B) as a result of a requirement to file a new Shelf Registration Statement, a post-effective amendment or supplement to the Prospectus to make changes to the information regarding selling securityholders or the plan of distribution provided for therein, at any time during the Shelf Registration Period and the Company does not cure the lapse of effectiveness or usability within ten (10) Business Days (or, if a Deferral Period is then in effect and subject to the 20 Business Day filing requirement and the proviso regarding the filing of post-effective amendments in Section 2(e) with respect to any Notice and Questionnaire received during such period, within ten (10) Business Days following the expiration of such Deferral Period or period permitted pursuant to Section 2(e)) then Registration Default Damages shall accrue on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days from and including the day following such 10th Business Day and 0.50% per annum thereafter; or
(d)    if the Company through its omission fails to name as a selling securityholder any Holder that had complied timely with its obligations hereunder in a manner to entitle such Holder to be so named in (i) a Shelf Registration Statement at the time it first became effective or (ii) any Prospectus, including a prospectus supplement for a “shelf takedown” pursuant thereto, at the later of time of filing thereof or the time the Shelf Registration Statement of which the Prospectus forms a part becomes effective then Registration Default Damages shall accrue, on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes held by such Holder, at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days from and including the day following the effective date of such Shelf Registration Statement or the time of filing of such Prospectus, as the case may be, and 0.50% per annum thereafter; or


-12-



(e)    if the aggregate duration of Deferral Periods in any period exceeds the number of days permitted in respect of such period pursuant to Section 3(i) hereof, then commencing on the day the aggregate duration of Deferral Periods in any period exceeds the number of days permitted in respect of such period, Registration Default Damages shall accrue on the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Notes at a rate of 0.25% per annum for the first 90 days from and including such date, and 0.50% per annum thereafter;
provided, however, that (1) upon the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement or prospectus supplement (in the case of paragraph (a) above), (2) upon the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement (in the case of paragraph (b) above), (3) upon such time as the Shelf Registration Statement which had ceased to remain effective or usable for resales again becomes effective and usable for resales (in the case of paragraph (c) above), (4) upon the time such Holder is permitted to sell its Registrable Securities pursuant to any Shelf Registration Statement and Prospectus in accordance with applicable law (in the case of paragraph (d) above) or (5) upon the termination of the Deferral Period that caused the limit on the aggregate duration of Deferral Periods in a period set forth in Section 3(i) hereof to be exceeded (in the case of paragraph (e) above), the Registration Default Damages shall cease to accrue.
Any amounts of Registration Default Damages due pursuant to this Section 7 will be payable in cash on the next succeeding interest payment date to Holders entitled to receive such Registration Default Damages on the relevant record dates for the payment of interest. If any Note ceases to be outstanding during any period for which Registration Default Damages are accruing, the Company will prorate the Registration Default Damages payable with respect to such Note.
The Registration Default Damages rate on the Notes shall not exceed in the aggregate 0.50% per annum and shall not be payable under more than one clause above for any given period of time, except that if Registration Default Damages would be payable because of more than one Registration Default, but at a rate of 0.25% per annum under one Registration Default and at a rate of 0.50% per annum under the other, then the Registration Default Damages rate shall be the higher rate of 0.50% per annum. Other than the Company’s obligation to pay Registration Default Damages in accordance with this Section 7, neither the Company nor the Operating Company will have any liability for damages with respect to a Registration Default.
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, in no event shall Registration Default Damages accrue to holders of Common Stock issued upon exchange of Notes. In lieu thereof, the Exchange Rate (as defined in the Indenture) shall be increased by 3.00% for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes exchanged at a time when such Registration Default has occurred and is continuing; provided, however, that (i) the foregoing adjustment shall not be applied more than once to the same $1,000 principal amount of Notes and (ii) if a Registration Default occurs after a Holder has exchanged its Notes into Common Stock, such Holder shall not be entitled to any compensation with respect to such Common Stock.
In no event shall Registration Default Damages, together with Additional Interest (as defined in the Indenture) relating to the Operating Company’s failure to comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 4.06(b) of the Indenture, accrue on the Notes at a per annum rate, in the aggregate, in excess of 0.50% per annum, regardless of the number of events or circumstances giving rise to the requirement to pay such Registration Default Damages and Additional Interest.
8.    No Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor the Operating Company has entered into, and each agrees not to enter into, any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the registration rights granted to the Holders herein.
9.    Rule 144A and Rule 144. So long as any Registrable Securities remain outstanding, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to file the reports required to be filed by it under Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Act and the Exchange Act in a timely manner and, if at any time the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the written request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, make publicly available other information so long as necessary to permit sales of such Holder’s Registrable Securities pursuant to Rules 144 and 144A of the Act. The Company covenants that it will take such further action as any Holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rules 144 and 144A (including, without


-13-



limitation, the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4)). Upon the written request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Section 9 shall be deemed to require the Company or the Operating Company to register any of its securities pursuant to the Exchange Act.
10.    Listing. So long as any Registrable Securities are outstanding, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the approval of the Common Stock for listing on the New York Stock Exchange or such other exchange or trading market as the Common Stock is then listed.
11.    Amendments and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, qualified, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company has obtained the written consent of the Majority Holders; provided, that, with respect to any matter that directly or indirectly affects the rights of any Initial Purchaser hereunder, the Company shall obtain the written consent of each such Initial Purchaser against which such amendment, qualification, supplement, waiver or consent is to be effective; provided, further, that no amendment, qualification, supplement, waiver or consent with respect to Section 7 hereof shall be effective as against any Holder of Registrable Securities unless consented to in writing by such Holder; and provided, further, that the provisions of this Section 11 may not be amended, qualified, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the Company has obtained the written consent of the Initial Purchasers and each Holder.
12.    Notices. All notices and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in writing by hand-delivery, first-class mail, telex, telecopier or air courier guaranteeing overnight delivery:
(a)    if to a Holder, at the most current address given by such holder to the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Notice and Questionnaire;
(b)    if to the Initial Purchasers or the Representatives, initially at the address or addresses set forth in the Purchase Agreement; and
(c)    if to the Company or the Operating Company, initially at its address set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
All such notices and communications shall be deemed to have been duly given when received.
The Initial Purchasers, the Company or the Operating Company by notice to the other parties may designate additional or different addresses for subsequent notices or communications.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, notices given to Holders (i) holding Notes in book-entry form may be given through the facilities of DTC or any successor depository and (ii) may be given by e-mail at the e-mail address provided by such Holder in accordance with the provisions of the Notice and Questionnaire.
13.    Remedies. Each Holder, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided to it herein or in the Purchase Agreement or granted by law, including recovery of liquidated or other damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and the Operating Company agree that monetary damages would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by them of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agree to waive in any action for specific performance the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
14.    Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns, including, without the need for an express assignment or any consent by the Company or the Operating Company thereto, subsequent Holders of Registrable Securities, and the indemnified persons referred to in Section 5 hereof. The Company and the Operating Company hereby agree to extend the benefits of this Agreement to any Holder of Registrable Securities, and any such Holder may specifically enforce the provisions of this Agreement as if an original party hereto.


-14-



15.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
16.    Headings. The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
17.    Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed in the State of New York. The parties hereto each hereby waive any right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or counterclaim arising out of or relating to this Agreement.
18.    QFC Stay Rider. Recognition of the U.S. Special Resolution Regimes.
(a)    In the event that any of the Initial Purchasers that is a Covered Entity becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, the transfer from such Initial Purchaser of this Agreement, and any interest and obligation in or under this Agreement, will be effective to the same extent as the transfer would be effective under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement, and any such interest and obligation, were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
(b)    In the event that any of the Initial Purchasers that is a Covered Entity or a BHC Act Affiliate of such Initial Purchaser becomes subject to a proceeding under a U.S. Special Resolution Regime, Default Rights under this Agreement that may be exercised against such Initial Purchaser permitted to be exercised to no greater extent than such Default Rights could be exercised under the U.S. Special Resolution Regime if this Agreement were governed by the laws of the United States or a state of the United States.
For the purposes of this Section 18, a “BHC Act Affiliate” has the meaning assigned to the term “affiliate” in, and shall be interpreted in accordance with, 12 U.S.C. § 1841(k). “Covered Entity” means any of the following: (i) a “covered entity” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 252.82(b); (ii) a “covered bank” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 47.3(b); or (iii) a “covered FSI” as that term is defined in, and interpreted in accordance with, 12 C.F.R. § 382.2(b). “Default Rights” 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. “U.S. Special Resolution Regime” means each of (i) the Federal Deposit Insurance Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) Title II of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
19.    Severability. In the event that any one of more of the provisions contained herein, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions hereof shall not be in any way impaired or affected thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the parties shall be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
20.    Common Stock Held by the Company, etc. Whenever the consent or approval of Holders of a specified percentage of Common Stock is required hereunder, Common Stock held by the Company or its Affiliates (other than subsequent Holders of Common Stock if such subsequent Holders are deemed to be Affiliates solely by reason of their holdings of such Common Stock) shall not be counted in determining whether such consent or approval was given by the Holders of such required percentage.
