Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 5, 2015, Gladstone Commercial Corporation, through its wholly owned subsidiary
Gladstone Commercial Limited Partnership, and certain of its other wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”)
entered into a first amended and restated credit agreement (the “Line of Credit”) with KeyBank National Association
and certain other lenders.
The Line of Credit was amended to, among other things:
| · | increase the borrowing capacity under the revolver by $10.0 million to $85.0 million; |
| · | add a 5-year, $25.0 million term loan facility; |
| · | reduce revolver interest rates by 25 bps at each of the leverage tiers; |
| · | provide term loan interest rates at 5 bps less than the revolver interest rates at each of the leverage tiers; |
| · | extend the term of the revolver by one-year to August 2018, with a one year extension option; |
| · | require the Company to have available liquid assets of $38.5 million beginning August 31, 2016 if the Company’s 7.125%
Series C Cumulative Term Preferred Stock is still outstanding and has not been extended or replaced; and |
| · | increase the total maximum commitment from $100.0 million to $150.0 million; |
As of October 5, 2015, $25.0 million was outstanding under the term loan facility and $26.5
million of borrowings were outstanding under the revolver, leaving availability of $11.3 million.
Additionally, as part of the amendment, the Company paid modification fees in the aggregate
of $0.47 million.

Applicable Margin.
On any date, the Applicable Margin set forth below based on the ratio of the Consolidated Total Indebtedness of Borrower to the
Consolidated Total Asset Value of Borrower:
Pricing Level |
Ratio |
Revolving
Credit
LIBOR
Rate Loans |
Revolving
Credit Base
Rate Loans |
Term
LIBOR Rate

Rate Loans |
Pricing Level 1 |
Less than or equal to 50% |
2.00% |
1.00% |
1.95% |
0.95% |
Pricing Level 2 |
Greater than 50% but less than or equal to 55% |
2.25% |
1.25% |
2.20% |

The initial Applicable
Margin shall be at Pricing Level 3. The Applicable Margin shall not be adjusted based upon such ratio, if at all, until the first
(1st) Business Day following the delivery by Parent to the Agent of the Compliance Certificate at the end of a calendar
quarter. In the event that Parent shall fail to deliver to the Agent a quarterly Compliance Certificate on or before the date required
by §7.4(c), then without limiting any other rights of the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, the Applicable Margin
shall be at Pricing Level 4 until such failure is cured within any applicable cure period, in which event the Applicable Margin
shall adjust, if necessary, on the first (1st) Business Day following receipt of such Compliance Certificate.
In the event that the
Agent and Parent determine that any financial statements previously delivered were incorrect or inaccurate (regardless of whether
this Agreement or the Commitments are in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have
led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an “Applicable Period”) than the Applicable Margin
applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) Parent shall as soon as practicable deliver to the Agent the corrected financial
statements for such Applicable Period, (ii) the Applicable Margin shall be determined as if the Pricing Level for such higher
Applicable Margin were applicable for such Applicable Period, and (iii) the Borrower shall within five (5) Business Days
of demand thereof by the Agent pay to the Agent the accrued additional amount owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin
for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Agent in accordance with this Agreement.

Letter of Credit Liabilities which does not exceed any of the following: (a) the maximum principal amount as would not exceed
sixty percent (60%) of Unencumbered Asset Value as most recently determined under this Agreement, (b) the maximum principal
amount as would not cause the Unencumbered Debt Service Coverage Ratio to be less than 1.60 to 1.00 and (c) the maximum principal
amount which would not cause the Unencumbered Debt Yield Ratio to be less than fourteen percent (14%).
Unencumbered Asset
Value. As of any date of determination, the Unencumbered Asset Value shall be, without duplication, the sum of (a) (i) the
Unencumbered Net Operating Income (excluding Subject Properties with negative Net Operating Incomes, Subject Properties acquired
during the trailing twelve (12) months and Subject Properties disposed of during the fiscal quarter most recently ending)
for the Calculation Period, annualized as applicable, divided by (ii) the Capitalization Rate, plus (b) the
acquisition cost of all Subject Properties acquired during the trailing twelve (12) month period determined in accordance
with GAAP.
Unencumbered Debt
Service Coverage Ratio. As of any date of determination, the ratio of Unencumbered Net Operating Income for the Calculation
Period, annualized as applicable, divided by the Implied Debt Service.
Unencumbered Debt
Yield Ratio. As of any date of determination, the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (a) Unencumbered Net Operating
Income for the Calculation Period, annualized as applicable, to (b) Consolidated Total Unsecured Indebtedness. For purposes
of the calculation of the Unencumbered Debt Yield Ratio, when calculating Unencumbered Net Operating Income for any Real Estate
not owned and operated by a Subsidiary for a full fiscal quarter, the Unencumbered Net Operating Income attributable to such Real
Estate shall be calculated using the sum of (i) the actual historical results for the period that the Real Estate was owned
and operated by the Subsidiary plus (ii) the proforma results, as reasonably approved by the Agent, for the future
period necessary to achieve a full fiscal quarter number.
Unencumbered Net
Operating Income. For any Eligible Real Estate included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value and for a given
period, an amount equal to the sum of (a) the rents and other revenues for such Real Estate for such period received in the
ordinary course of business (excluding pre-paid rents and revenues and security deposits except to the extent applied in satisfaction
of tenants’ obligations for rent) minus (b) all expenses paid or accrued and related to the ownership, operation
or maintenance of such Real Estate for such period, but specifically excluding, any property management fees, debt service charges,
income taxes, depreciation, amortization and other non-cash expenses, minus (c) the greater of (i) actual property
management expenses of such Real Estate or (ii) an amount equal to two percent (2.0%) of the gross revenues from such Real
Estate. Unencumbered Net Operating Income shall be adjusted to remove any impact from straight-line rent leveling adjustments required
under GAAP.
Unrestricted Cash
and Cash Equivalents. As of any date of determination, the sum of (a) the aggregate amount of Unrestricted cash and (b) the
aggregate amount of Unrestricted Cash Equivalents (valued at fair market value). As used in this definition, “Unrestricted”
means the specified asset is not subject to any escrow, reserves or Liens or claims of any kind in favor of any Person (other than
customary rights of depository institutions in the ordinary course of business with respect to bank accounts).
Unsecured Debt.
With respect to any Person as of any date of determination, Indebtedness of such Person which is not Secured Debt, and in the case
of the Borrower, shall include (without duplication), the Borrower’s Equity Percentage of the Unsecured Debt of its Unconsolidated
Affiliates.
Variable Rate Debt.
Indebtedness that is payable by reference to a rate of interest that may vary, float or change during the term of such Indebtedness
(that is, a rate of interest that is not fixed (whether by its terms or by way of a hedge arrangement) for the entire term of such
Indebtedness).
Wholly Owned Subsidiary.
As to a Person, any Subsidiary of such first Person that is directly or indirectly owned one hundred percent (100%) by such first
Person.

§2.
THE CREDIT FACILITY.
§2.1
Revolving Credit Loans.
(a)
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Revolving Credit Lenders severally agrees to
lend to the Borrower, and the Borrower may borrow (and repay and reborrow) from time to time between the Closing Date and the Revolving
Credit Maturity Date upon notice by the Borrower to the Agent given in accordance with §2.7, such sums as are requested by
the Borrower for the purposes set forth in §2.9 up to a maximum aggregate principal amount outstanding (after giving effect
to all amounts requested) at any one time equal to the lesser of (i) such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (ii) such
Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the sum of (A) the Unencumbered Asset Availability minus (B) the
sum of (1) the amount of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Term Loans, and (2) the aggregate amount of Letter
of Credit Liabilities; provided, that, in all events no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;
and provided, further, that the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans (after giving effect to
all amounts requested) and Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not at any time exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment. The
Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentage. Each request for a Revolving Credit Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the
Borrower that all of the conditions required of Borrower set forth in §10 and §11 have been satisfied on the date of
such request. The Agent may assume that the conditions in §10 and §11 have been satisfied unless it receives prior written
notice from a Revolving Credit Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied. No Revolving Credit Lender shall have any obligation
to make Revolving Credit Loans to Borrower in the maximum aggregate principal outstanding balance of more than the principal face
amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Note.
(b)
The Revolving Credit Loans shall be evidenced by separate promissory notes of Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1
hereto (collectively, the “Revolving Credit Notes”), dated of even date with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided
in §18.3) and completed with appropriate insertions. One Revolving Credit Note shall be payable to the order of each Revolving
Credit Lender in the principal amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment or, if less, the
outstanding amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender, plus interest accrued thereon, as set forth
below. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes Agent to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any
Revolving Credit Loan or the time of receipt of any payment of principal thereof, an appropriate notation on Agent’s Record
reflecting the making of such Revolving Credit Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount
of the Revolving Credit Loans set forth on Agent’s Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount
thereof owing and unpaid to each Revolving Credit Lender (absent manifest error), but the failure to record, or any error in so
recording, any such amount on Agent’s Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder
or under any Revolving Credit Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any such Revolving Credit Note when due. Agent
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide to the Borrower a monthly invoice for interest that has accrued on the Revolving
Credit Notes, but the failure of Agent to provide the Borrower any such invoice shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations
of the Borrower hereunder or under any Revolving Credit Note to make payments of interest on any such Revolving Credit Note when
due. By delivery of this Agreement and any Revolving Credit Note, there shall not be deemed to have occurred, and there has not
otherwise occurred, any payment, satisfaction or novation of the Indebtedness evidenced by the Original Credit Agreement or the
“Revolving Credit Notes” described in the Original Credit Agreement, which Indebtedness is instead allocated among
the Revolving Credit Lenders as of the date hereof in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages,
and is evidenced by this Agreement and any Revolving Credit Notes, and the Revolving Credit Lenders shall as of the date hereof
make such adjustments to the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans of such Revolving Credit Lenders so that such outstanding Revolving
Credit Loans are consistent with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages.
§2.2
Commitment to Lend Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Term Loan Lenders
severally agrees to lend to the Borrower on the Closing Date the lesser of (i) such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Commitment
and (ii) such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment Percentage of the sum of (A) the Unencumbered Asset Availability minus (B) the
sum of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans and the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities. The Term
Loans shall be evidenced by separate promissory notes of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit A-2 hereto, dated
of even date with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in §2.11(c) and §18.3) and completed with appropriate
insertions (each, a “Term Loan Note” and collectively, the “Term Loan Notes”). One Term Loan Note shall
be payable to the order of each Term Loan Lender in the principal amount equal to such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Commitment.
In addition, any additional Term Loans made as a result of any increase in the Total Term Loan Commitment pursuant to §2.11
shall be made on the applicable Commitment Increase Date and each Term Loan Lender which elects to increase its or acquire a Term
Loan Commitment pursuant to §2.11 severally and not jointly agrees to make a Term Loan to the Borrower on such Commitment
Increase Date in an amount equal to the lesser of (a) with respect to any existing Term Loan Lender, the amount by which such Lender’s
Term Loan Commitment increases on the applicable Commitment Increase Date, and with respect to any new Term Loan Lender, the amount
of such new Lender’s Term Loan Commitment, and (b) such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment Percentage of the sum of (X)
the Unencumbered Asset Availability minus (Y) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans and the aggregate
amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities. No Term Loan Lender shall have any obligation to make Term Loans to the Borrower in the
maximum aggregate principal outstanding balance of more than the lesser of (x) the amount equal to its Term Loan Commitment Percentage
of the Term Loan Commitments and (y) the principal face amount of its Term Loan Note.
§2.3
Facility Unused Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders in accordance
with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages a facility unused fee calculated each day at the rate per annum of
0.25% on the daily amount by which the Total Revolving Credit Commitment (other than the Revolving Credit Commitment of a Defaulting
Lender) exceeds the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans (other than Revolving Credit Loans made by a Defaulting
Lender) and the face amount of Letters of Credit Outstanding during each calendar quarter or portion thereof commencing on the
date hereof and ending on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The facility unused fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on
the first (1st) day of each calendar quarter for the immediately preceding calendar quarter or portion thereof, and
on any earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reduced or shall terminate as provided in §2.4, with
a final payment on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.
§2.4
Reduction and Termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and
from time to time upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent to reduce by $5,000,000.00 or an integral
multiple of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof (provided that in no event shall the Total Revolving Credit Commitment be reduced
in such manner to an amount less than $40,000,000.00, other than in the case of a termination of the facility by the Borrower)
or to terminate entirely the unborrowed portion of the Revolving Credit Commitments (provided that such termination would
not result in the Revolving Credit Commitment being reduced to an amount less than $40,000,000.00), whereupon the Revolving Credit
Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be reduced pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment
Percentages of the amount specified in such notice or, as the case may be, terminated, any such termination or reduction to be
without penalty except as otherwise set forth in §4.8; provided, however, that no such termination or reduction
shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, the sum of Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities
would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders as so terminated or reduced. Promptly after receiving
any notice from the Borrower delivered pursuant to this §2.4, the Agent will notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of the substance
thereof. Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments to an amount less than $50,000,000.00 shall also result in a proportionate
reduction (rounded to the next lowest integral multiple of $100,000.00) in the maximum amount of Letters of Credit. Upon the effective
date of any such reduction or termination, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Revolving Credit
Lenders the full amount of any facility fee under §2.3 then accrued on the amount of the reduction. No reduction or termination
of the Revolving Credit Commitments may be reinstated.
§2.5
[Intentionally omitted.]
§2.6
Interest on Loans.
(a)
Each Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending
on the date on which such Base Rate Loan is repaid or converted to a LIBOR Rate Loan at the rate per annum equal to the sum of
the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans.
(b)
Each Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending
on the last day of each Interest Period with respect thereto at the rate per annum equal to the sum of LIBOR determined for such
Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin for Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loans.
(c)
Each Term Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the
date on which such Term Base Rate Loan is repaid or is converted to a Term LIBOR Rate Loan at a rate per annum equal to the sum
of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Term Base Rate Loans.
(d)
Each Term LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the
last day of each Interest Period with respect thereto at the rate per annum equal to the sum of LIBOR determined for such Interest
Period plus the Applicable Margin for Term LIBOR Rate Loans.
(e)
The Borrower promises to pay interest on each Loan in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect thereto.
(f)
Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Rate Loans may be converted to Loans of the other Type as provided in §4.1.
§2.7
Requests for Revolving Credit Loans. Except with respect to any Revolving Credit Loans outstanding as of the Closing
Date, the Borrower shall give to the Agent written notice executed by an Authorized Officer in the form of Exhibit C
hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing in the form of Exhibit G hereto) of each Revolving Credit Loan requested
hereunder (a “Loan Request”) by 12:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Drawdown
Date with respect to Base Rate Loans and two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to LIBOR Rate
Loans. Each such notice shall specify with respect to the requested Revolving Credit Loan the proposed principal amount of such
Revolving Credit Loan, the Type of Revolving Credit Loan, the initial Interest Period (if applicable) for such Revolving Credit
Loan and the Drawdown Date. Each such notice shall also contain (i) a general statement as to the purpose for which such advance
shall be used (which purpose shall be in accordance with the terms of §2.9) and (ii) a certification by the chief financial
officer or chief accounting officer of Parent that the Borrower and the Guarantors are and will be in compliance with all covenants
under the Loan Documents after giving effect to the making of such Revolving Credit Loan. Promptly upon receipt of any such notice,
the Agent shall notify each of the Revolving Credit Lenders thereof. Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on
the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Revolving Credit Loan requested from the Revolving Credit Lenders on
the proposed Drawdown Date. Each Loan Request shall be (a) for a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount
of $500,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof; or (b) for a Revolving Credit LIBOR
Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $500,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof; provided,
however, that there shall be no more than seven (7) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time.
§2.8
Funds for Loans.
(a)
Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans, each
of the Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, will make available to the Agent, at the Agent’s Head
Office, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of the requested
Loans which may be disbursed pursuant to §2.1 or §2.2. Upon receipt from each Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender,
as applicable, of such amount, and upon receipt of the documents required by §10 and §11 and the satisfaction of the
other conditions set forth therein, to the extent applicable, the Agent will make available to the Borrower the aggregate amount
of such Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans made available to the Agent by the Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders,
as applicable, by crediting such amount to the account of the Borrower maintained at the Agent’s Head Office. The failure
or refusal of any Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender to make available to the Agent at the aforesaid time and place on
any Drawdown Date the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the requested Loans shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender
or Term Loan Lender from its several obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent the amount of such other Lender’s
Commitment Percentage of any requested Loans, including any additional Loans that may be requested subject to the terms and conditions
hereof to provide funds to replace those not advanced by the Lender so failing or refusing. In the event of any such failure or
refusal, the Lenders not so failing or refusing shall be entitled to a priority secured position as against the Lender or Lenders
so failing or refusing to make available to the Borrower the amount of its or their Commitment Percentage for such Loans as provided
in §12.5.
(b)
Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loans
or on the Effective Date or any Increase Date with respect to any Term Loans, that such Lender will not make available to Agent
such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of a proposed Loan, Agent may in its discretion assume that such Lender has made such
Loan available to Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Agent may, if it chooses, in reliance upon
such assumption make such Loan available to the Borrower, and such Lender shall be liable to the Agent for the amount of such advance.
If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount upon the Agent’s demand therefor, the Agent will promptly notify the
Borrower, and the Borrower shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to the Agent. The Agent shall also be entitled to recover
from the Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date
such corresponding amount was made available by the Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by
the Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrower at the applicable rate for such Loan or (ii) from a Lender
at the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one percent (1%).
§2.9
Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit solely to (a) pay
closing costs in connection with this Agreement; (b) to finance Borrower’s direct and indirect investments in Real Estate
and Mortgage Receivables; and (c) for general working capital purposes.
§2.10
Letters of Credit.
(a)
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at any time and from time to time from the Closing Date
through the day that is ninety (90) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, the Issuing Lender shall issue such Letters
of Credit as the Borrower may request upon the delivery of a written request in the form of Exhibit D hereto (a “Letter
of Credit Request”) to the Issuing Lender, provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, (ii) upon issuance of such Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not exceed $25,000,000.00,
(iii) in no event shall the sum of (A) the Revolving Credit Loans Outstanding and (B) the amount of Letter of Credit
Liabilities (after giving effect to all Letters of Credit requested) exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, (iv) the
conditions set forth in §§10 and 11 shall have been satisfied, (v) in no event shall any amount drawn under a Letter
of Credit be available for reinstatement or a subsequent drawing under such Letter of Credit, and (vi) in no event shall the outstanding
principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to all Letters
of Credit requested) exceed the lesser of the Total Commitment or the Unencumbered Asset Availability. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this §2.10, the Issuing Lender shall not be obligated to issue, amend, extend, renew or increase
any Letter of Credit at a time when any other Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Lender is satisfied
that the participation therein will otherwise be fully allocated to the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders
consistent with §2.13(c) and the Defaulting Lender shall have no participation therein, except to the extent the Issuing
Lender has entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender which are satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in
its good faith determination to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure with respect to any such Defaulting Lender,
including the delivery of cash collateral. The Issuing Lender may assume that the conditions in §10 and §11 have been
satisfied unless it receives written notice from a Revolving Credit Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied. Each Letter
of Credit Request shall be executed by an Authorized Officer of Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall be entitled to conclusively
rely on such Person’s authority to request a Letter of Credit on behalf of Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall have no duty
to verify the authenticity of any signature appearing on a Letter of Credit Request. The Borrower assumes all risks with respect
to the use of the Letters of Credit. Unless the Issuing Lender and the Required Revolving Credit Lenders otherwise consent, the
term of any Letter of Credit shall not exceed a period of time commencing on the issuance of the Letter of Credit and ending on
the date which is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, or to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date to the
extent any such Letter of Credit has been cash collateralized in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Issuing
Lender (but in any event the term shall not extend beyond the Revolving Credit Maturity Date). The amount available to be drawn
under any Letter of Credit shall reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis the amount available to be drawn under the Total Revolving
Credit Commitment as a Revolving Credit Loan.
(b)
Each Letter of Credit Request shall be submitted to the Issuing Lender at least five (5) Business Days (or such shorter
period as the Issuing Lender may approve) prior to the date upon which the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued. Each such
Letter of Credit Request shall contain (i) a statement as to the purpose for which such Letter of Credit shall be used (which
purpose shall be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), and (ii) a certification by the chief financial officer
or chief accounting officer of Parent that the Borrower is and will be in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Documents
after giving effect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall further deliver to the Issuing Lender
such additional applications (which application as of the date hereof is in the form of Exhibit H hereto) and documents
as the Issuing Lender may reasonably require, in conformity with the then standard practices of its letter of credit department,
in connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit; provided that in the event of any conflict, the terms of this
Agreement shall control.
(c)
The Issuing Lender shall, subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, issue the Letter of Credit on or before
five (5) Business Days following receipt of the documents last due pursuant to §2.10(b). Each Letter of Credit shall
be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its reasonable discretion.
(d)
Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a participation
therein from Issuing Lender in an amount equal to its respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter
of Credit. No Revolving Credit Lender’s obligation to participate in a Letter of Credit shall be affected by any other Revolving
Credit Lender’s failure to perform as required herein with respect to such Letter of Credit or any other Letter of Credit.
(e)
Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender (i) for its own account, a
Letter of Credit fee calculated at the rate of one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum of the amount available to be drawn
under such Letter of Credit (which fee shall not be less than $1,500 in any event), and (ii) for the accounts of the Revolving
Credit Lenders (including the Issuing Lender) in accordance with their respective percentage shares of participation in such Letter
of Credit, a Letter of Credit fee calculated at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then applicable to Revolving
Credit LIBOR Rate Loans on the amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such fees shall be payable in quarterly
installments in arrears with respect to each Letter of Credit on the first day of each calendar quarter following the date of issuance
and continuing on each quarter or portion thereof thereafter, as applicable, or on any earlier date on which the Revolving Credit
Commitments shall terminate and on the expiration or return of any Letter of Credit. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to Issuing
Lender for its own account within five (5) days of demand of Issuing Lender the standard issuance and documentation charges
for Letters of Credit issued from time to time by Issuing Lender.
(f)
In the event that any amount is drawn under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Borrower shall reimburse
the Issuing Lender by having such amount drawn treated as an outstanding Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan under this Agreement (Borrower
being deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan on such date in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing
and such amount drawn shall be treated as an outstanding Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan under this Agreement) and the Agent shall
promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender by telex, telecopy, telegram, telephone (confirmed in writing) or other similar means
of transmission, and each Revolving Credit Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Agent, for the Issuing Lender’s
own account, an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit
(to the extent of the amount drawn). If and to the extent any Revolving Credit Lender shall not make such amount available on the
Business Day on which such draw is funded, such Revolving Credit Lender agrees to pay such amount to the Agent forthwith on demand,
together with interest thereon, for each day from the date on which such draw was funded until the date on which such amount is
paid to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate until three (3) days after the date on which the Agent gives notice
of such draw and at the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one percent (1.0%) for each day thereafter. Further, such Revolving Credit
Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Revolving Credit Loans, amounts
due with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit and any other amounts due to it hereunder to the Agent to fund the
amount of any drawn Letter of Credit which such Revolving Credit Lender was required to fund pursuant to this §2.10(f) until
such amount has been funded (as a result of such assignment or otherwise). In the event of any such failure or refusal, the Revolving
Credit Lenders not so failing or refusing shall be entitled to a priority secured position for such amounts as provided in §12.5.
The failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to make funds available to the Agent in such amount shall not relieve any other Revolving
Credit Lender of its obligation hereunder to make funds available to the Agent pursuant to this §2.10(f).
(g)
If after the issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to §2.10(c) by the Issuing Lender, but prior to the funding
of any portion thereof by a Revolving Credit Lender, for any reason a drawing under a Letter of Credit cannot be refinanced as
a Revolving Credit Loan, each Revolving Credit Lender will, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.10(f) was
to have been made, purchase an undivided participation interest in the Letter of Credit in an amount equal to its Revolving Credit
Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit. Each Revolving Credit Lender will immediately transfer to the Issuing
Lender in immediately available funds the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Issuing Lender will deliver
to such Revolving Credit Lender a Letter of Credit participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such
amount.
(h)
Whenever at any time after the Issuing Lender has received from any Revolving Credit Lender any such Revolving Credit Lender’s
payment of funds under a Letter of Credit and thereafter the Issuing Lender receives any payment on account thereof, then the Issuing
Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its participation interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the
case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Credit Lender’s participation interest
was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Issuing Lender
is required to be returned, such Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Issuing Lender any portion thereof previously distributed
by the Issuing Lender to it.
(i)
The issuance of any supplement, modification, amendment, renewal or extension to or of any Letter of Credit shall be treated
in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit.
(j)
Borrower (rather than Issuing Lender) assumes all risks of the acts, omissions, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the
beneficiary thereof; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrower’s
pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee or any other person at law or under any
other agreement. Neither Agent, Issuing Lender nor any Revolving Credit Lender will be responsible for (i) the form, validity,
sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Letter of Credit or any document submitted by any party in connection
with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient,
inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any instrument
transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds
thereof in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of any beneficiary
of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with the conditions required in order to demand payment under a Letter of Credit; (iv) errors,
omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise;
(v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document
or draft required by or from a beneficiary in order to make a disbursement under a Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; (vii) for
the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and (viii) for
any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Agent or any Revolving Credit Lender. None of the foregoing will affect,
impair or prevent the vesting of any of the rights or powers granted to Agent, Issuing Lender or the Revolving Credit Lenders hereunder.
In furtherance and extension and not in limitation or derogation of any of the foregoing, any act taken or omitted to be taken
by Agent, Issuing Lender or the other Revolving Credit Lenders in good faith will be binding on Borrower and will not put Agent,
Issuing Lender or the other Revolving Credit Lenders under any resulting liability to Borrower; provided nothing contained
herein shall relieve Issuing Lender for liability to Borrower arising as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of Issuing Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods.
§2.11
Increase in Total Commitment.
(a)
Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth
in this §2.11, the Borrower shall have the option at any time and from time to time before the date that is forty-five (45)
days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (as the same may be extended pursuant to §2.12 below) or Term Loan Maturity
Date, as applicable, to request an increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and/or the Total Term Loan Credit Commitment
such that after giving effect to such increase the Total Commitment does not exceed $150,000,000.00 in the aggregate by giving
written notice to the Agent (each, an “Increase Notice”; and the amount of such requested increase is the “Commitment
Increase”), provided that any such individual increase must be in a minimum amount of $5,000,000.00. Upon receipt
of any Increase Notice, the Agent shall consult with Arranger and shall notify the Borrower of the amount of facility fees to be
paid to any Lenders who provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, in connection
with such increase in the Revolving Credit Commitment and/or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable (which shall be in addition to
the fees to be paid to Arranger pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Fees). If the Borrower agrees to pay the facility fees so determined,
then the Agent shall send a notice to all Revolving Credit Lenders and/or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable (the “Additional
Commitment Request Notice”) informing them of the Borrower’s request to increase the Total Revolving Credit Commitment
or the Total Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, and of the facility fees to be paid with respect thereto. Each Revolving Credit
Lender or Term Loan Lender, as applicable, who desires to provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment,
as applicable, upon such terms shall provide Agent with a written commitment letter specifying the amount of the additional Revolving
Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, by which it is willing to provide prior to such deadline as may be specified
in the Additional Commitment Request Notice. If the requested increase is oversubscribed then the Agent and the Arranger shall
allocate the Commitment Increase among the Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, who provide such commitment
letters on such basis as the Agent and the Arranger shall determine in their sole discretion. If the additional Revolving Credit
Commitments or Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, so provided are not sufficient to provide the full amount of the Revolving
Credit Commitment Increase or Term Loan Commitment Increase, as applicable, requested by the Borrower, then the Agent, Arranger
or Borrower may, but shall not be obligated to, invite one or more banks or lending institutions (which banks or lending institutions
shall be reasonably acceptable to Agent, Arranger and Borrower) to become a Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender, as applicable,
and provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable. The Agent shall provide all Revolving
Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, with a notice setting forth the amount, if any, of the additional Revolving
Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, to be provided by each Revolving Credit Lender or Term Loan Lender, as
applicable, and the revised Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages or Term Loan Commitment Percentages, as applicable, which shall
be applicable after the effective date of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase or Term Loan Commitment Increase, as applicable,
specified therein (the “Commitment Increase Date”). In no event shall any Lender be obligated to provide an additional
Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment.
(b)
On any Commitment Increase Date the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans, as applicable,
shall be reallocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, such that after the applicable Commitment
Increase Date the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, owed to each Revolving Credit
Lender or Term Loan Lender, as applicable, shall be equal to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage or Term
Loan Commitment Percentage, as applicable (as in effect after the applicable Commitment Increase Date) of the outstanding principal
amount of all Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans, as applicable. The participation interests of the Revolving Credit Lenders
in Letters of Credit shall be similarly adjusted. On any Commitment Increase Date, those Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan
Lenders whose Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage or Term Loan Commitment Percentage is increasing shall advance the funds to
the Agent and the funds so advanced shall be distributed among the Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable,
whose Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage or Term Loan Commitment Percentage, as applicable, is decreasing as necessary to accomplish
the required reallocation of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans, as applicable. The funds so advanced shall be
Base Rate Loans until converted to LIBOR Rate Loans which are allocated among all Lenders based on their Commitment Percentages.
To the extent such reallocation results in certain Lenders receiving funds which are applied to LIBOR Rate Loans prior to the last
day of the applicable Interest Period, then the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the affected Lenders the Breakage
Costs for each such Lender (provided that the parties agree to attempt to coordinate the closing of any increase of the Total Revolving
Credit Commitment or Total Term Loan Commitment, as applicable, to minimize Breakage Costs that may come due); provided,
however, each Lender agrees to apply any amounts received by them pursuant to this §2.11(b) first to the principal
of any Base Rate Loans held by such Lender and then to the principal of LIBOR Rate Loans held by such Lender.
(c)
Upon the effective date of each increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or Total Term Loan Commitment, as applicable,
pursuant to this §2.11 the Agent may unilaterally revise Schedule 1 hereto and the Borrower shall execute and
deliver to the Agent new Revolving Credit Notes or Term Loan Notes for each Lender whose Commitment has changed so that the principal
amount of such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Note shall equal its Revolving Credit Commitment and such Term
Loan Lender’s Term Loan Note shall equal its Term Loan Commitment. The Agent shall deliver such replacement Revolving Credit
Notes and Term Loan Notes to the respective Lenders in exchange for the Revolving Credit Notes and Term Loan Notes replaced thereby
which shall be surrendered by such Lenders. Such new Revolving Credit Notes and Term Loan Notes shall provide that they are replacements
for the surrendered Revolving Credit Notes and Term Loan Notes, as applicable, and that they do not constitute a novation, shall
be dated as of the Commitment Increase Date and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the replaced Revolving Credit Notes
or Term Loan Notes, as applicable. Within five (5) days of issuance of any new Revolving Credit Notes or Term Loan Notes, pursuant
to this §2.11(c), the Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel, addressed to the Lenders and the Agent, relating to the
due authorization, execution and delivery of such new Revolving Credit Notes and Term Loan Notes and the enforceability thereof,
in form and substance substantially similar to the opinion delivered in connection with the first disbursement under this Agreement.
The surrendered Revolving Credit Notes and Term Loan Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower.
(d)
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligation of the Agent and the Revolving Credit Lenders
to increase the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, or the Agent and the Term Loan Lenders to increase the Total Term Loan Commitment,
as applicable, pursuant to this §2.11 shall be conditioned upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent which must
be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of any increase of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or the Total Term Loan Commitment,
as applicable:
(i)
Payment of Activation Fee. The Borrower shall pay (A) to the Agent those fees described in and contemplated by the
Agreement Regarding Fees with respect to the applicable Commitment Increase, and (B) to the Arranger such facility fees as the
Revolving Credit Lenders or Term Loan Lenders who are providing an additional Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment,
as applicable, may require to increase the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment, which fees shall, when
paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances. The Arranger shall pay to the Lenders acquiring the applicable
Commitment Increase certain fees pursuant to their separate agreement; and
(ii)
No Default. On the date any Increase Notice is given and on the date such increase becomes effective, both immediately
before and after the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment is increased, there shall exist no Default or Event
of Default; and
(iii)
Representations True. The representations and warranties made by the Borrower and the Guarantors in the Loan Documents
or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Borrower and the Guarantors in connection therewith or after the date thereof shall have
been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all material respects on the date
of such Increase Notice and on the date the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment is increased (except to the
extent of any changes resulting from transactions permitted by this Agreement, and except to the extent such representations relate
expressly to an earlier date, which representations shall be required to be true and correct only as of such specified date), both
immediately before and after the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or Term Loan Commitment is increased; and
(iv)
Additional Documents and Expenses. The Borrower and the Guarantors shall execute and deliver to Agent and the Lenders
such additional documents, instruments, certifications and opinions as the Agent may reasonably require, including, without limitation,
a Compliance Certificate, demonstrating compliance with all covenants, representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Documents
after giving effect to the increase, and the Borrower shall pay all recording costs and fees, and any and all intangible taxes
or other documentary taxes, assessments or charges or any similar fees, taxes or expenses which are or are to be incurred by Agent,
Arranger or the Lenders in connection with such increase.
§2.12
Extension of Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The Borrower shall have the one-time right and option, in its sole discretion,
to extend the Revolving Credit Maturity Date to August 7, 2019, upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent, which
must be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of any extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date:
(a)
Extension Request. The Borrower shall deliver written notice of such request (the “Extension Request”)
to the Agent on a date which is between ninety (90) and forty-five (45) days prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (as determined
without regard to such extension). Any such Extension Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.
(b)
Payment of Extension Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the pro rata accounts of the Revolving
Credit Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitments an extension fee in an amount equal to twenty five
(25) basis points on the Total Revolving Credit Commitment in effect on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (as determined without
regard to such extension), which fee shall, when paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances.
(c)
No Default. On the date the Extension Request is given and on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (as determined without
regard to such extension) there shall exist no Default or Event of Default.
(d)
Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties made by the Borrower and the Guarantors in the
Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Borrower and the Guarantors in connection therewith or after the date thereof
shall have been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all material respects
on the date the Extension Request is given and on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension)
other than for representations to the extent they relate expressly to an earlier date, which representations shall be required
to be true and correct only as of such specified date, and except to the extent of any changes resulting from transactions permitted
by this Agreement.
§2.13
Defaulting Lenders.
(a)
If for any reason any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available
to the Agent or the Borrower under this Agreement or applicable law, such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the
administration of the Loans, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in respect
of, to consent to or to direct any action or inaction of the Agent or to be taken into account in the calculation of the Required
Lenders, Required Revolving Credit Lenders or all of the Lenders, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal.
If a Lender is a Defaulting Lender because it has failed to make timely payment to the Agent of any amount required to be paid
to the Agent hereunder (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods), in addition to other rights and remedies which the
Agent or the Borrower may have under the immediately preceding provisions or otherwise, the Agent shall be entitled (i) to
collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due
until the date on which the payment is made at the Federal Funds Effective Rate, (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in
satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent
jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. Any amounts received by the Agent in respect of a Defaulting
Lender’s Loans shall be applied as set forth in §2.13(d).
(b)
Any Non-Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire all or a portion of a Defaulting
Lender’s Commitments. Any Lender desiring to exercise such right shall give written notice thereof to the Agent and the Borrower
no sooner than two (2) Business Days and not later than five (5) Business Days after such Defaulting Lender became a
Defaulting Lender. If more than one Lender exercises such right, each such Lender shall have the right to acquire an amount of
such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments in proportion to the Commitments of the other Lenders exercising such right. If after
such fifth (5th) Business Day, the Lenders have not elected to purchase all of the Commitments of such Defaulting Lender,
then the Borrower may (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), by giving written notice thereof to the Agent, such Defaulting
Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitments to an eligible assignee subject to and
in accordance with the provisions of §18.1 for the purchase price provided for below and upon any such demand such Defaulting
Lender shall comply with such demand and shall consummate such assignment (subject to and in accordance with the provisions of
§18.1). No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an eligible
assignee. Upon any such purchase or assignment, and any such demand with respect to which the conditions specified in §18.1
have been satisfied, the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loans and its rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect
thereof or under the Loan Documents or this Agreement to the extent the same relate to the period prior to the effective date of
the purchase) shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably
requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and
Acceptance Agreement. The purchase price for the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender shall be equal to the amount of the principal
balance of the Loans outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Defaulting Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon
and accrued but unpaid fees. Prior to payment of such purchase price to a Defaulting Lender, the Agent shall apply against such
purchase price any amounts retained by the Agent pursuant to §2.13(d).
(c)
During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, all or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s obligation to
acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to §2.10(g) shall be reallocated among the Revolving
Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (computed
without giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender); provided that (i) each such reallocation
shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Revolving Credit Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event
of Default exists, (ii) the conditions set forth in §10 and §11 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and,
unless the Borrower shall have notified the Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted
that such conditions are satisfied at the time), (iii) the representations and warranties in the Loan Documents shall be true
and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such reallocation with the same effect as though made on and as of
such date (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date
shall be required to be true and correct only as of such specified date, and that any representation or warranty that is qualified
by any materiality standard shall be required to be true and correct in all respects), and (iv) the aggregate obligation of
each Revolving Credit Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit
shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (A) the Revolving Credit Commitment of that Non-Defaulting Lender minus
(B) the sum of (1) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of that Revolving Credit
Lender plus (2) such Revolving Credit Lender’s pro rata portion in accordance with its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage
of outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any
party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of
a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(d)
Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender
(whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent for the account
of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to §13), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows:
first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent (other than with respect to Letter of Credit
Liabilities) hereunder; second, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender (with respect
to Letter of Credit Liabilities); third, if so determined by the Agent or requested by the Issuing Lender, to be held as cash collateral
for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower
may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting
Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined
by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy
obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans or participations under this Agreement and (y) be held as cash collateral
for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit; sixth, to the payment of
any amounts owing to the Agent or the Lenders (including the Issuing Lender) as a result of any judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by the Agent or any Lender (including the Issuing Lender) against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such
Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists,
to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by
the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this
Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided
that if (i) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or funded participations in Letters of Credit in
respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (ii) such Loans or funded participations
in Letters of Credit were made at a time when the conditions set forth in §10 and §11, to the extent required by this
Agreement, were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and funded participations in Letters
of Credit owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations
in Letters of Credit are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages and Term
Loan Commitment Percentages, as applicable, without regard to §2.13(c), prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans
of, or funded participations in Letters of Credit owed to, such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid
or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral
pursuant to this §2.13(d) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably
consents hereto, and to the extent allocated to the repayment of principal of the Loan, shall not be considered outstanding principal
under this Agreement.
(e)
Within five (5) Business Days of demand by the Issuing Lender from time to time, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Lender cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure with respect
to the Issuing Lender (after giving effect to §2.10(a) and §2.13(c)) on terms satisfactory to the Issuing Lender
in its good faith determination (and such cash collateral shall be in Dollars). Any such cash collateral shall be deposited in
the Collateral Account as collateral (solely for the benefit of the Issuing Lender) for the payment and performance of each Defaulting
Lender’s pro rata portion in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of outstanding Letter
of Credit Liabilities. Moneys in the Collateral Account deposited pursuant to this section shall be applied by the Agent to reimburse
the Issuing Lender immediately for each Defaulting Lender’s pro rata portion in accordance with their respective Revolving
Credit Commitment Percentages of any funding obligation with respect to a Letter of Credit which has not otherwise been reimbursed
by the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender.
(f)
(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each Revolving Credit Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall not
be entitled to receive any unused fee pursuant to §2.3 for any period during which that Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting
Lender.
(ii)
Each Revolving Credit Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive Letter of Credit fees pursuant
to §2.10(e) for any period during which that Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender.
(iii)
With respect to any unused fee or Letter of Credit fees not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause
(i) or (ii) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Credit Lender that
portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation
in Letter of Credit Liabilities that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to §2.13(c), (y) pay
to the Issuing Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing
Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and (z) not be required to pay any remaining amount of any such
fee.
(g)
If the Borrower and the Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed
to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the date specified in such notice and subject
to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to
the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent
may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held on a pro
rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments (without giving effect to §2.13(c)), whereupon such Lender
will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued
or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further,
that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender
will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting
Lender.
§3.
REPAYMENT OF THE LOANS.
§3.1
Stated Maturity. The Borrower promises to pay on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date and there shall become absolutely
due and payable on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date all of the Revolving Credit Loans and other Letter of Credit Liabilities
outstanding on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon. The Borrower promises to pay on the Term
Loan Maturity Date and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Term Loan Maturity Date all of the Term Loans Outstanding
on such date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
§3.2
Mandatory Prepayments. If at any time (i) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving
Credit Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities exceeds the lesser of (a) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or (b) the
Unencumbered Asset Availability, minus the principal amount of the outstanding Term Loans, or (ii) the sum of the aggregate
outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Term Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities exceeds the lesser
of (a) the Total Commitment or (b) the Unencumbered Asset Availability, then the Borrower shall, within ten (10) Business
Days of such occurrence (or such longer period of time as Agent may agree in its sole and absolute discretion), pay the amount
of such excess to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders, as applicable, for application to the Revolving Credit
Loans and Term Loans as provided in §3.4, together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to §4.8.
§3.3
Optional Prepayments.
(a) The Borrower shall have the
right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time without
penalty or premium, and in the case of prepayment in full, at Borrower’s election, to terminate the Revolving Credit Commitments;
provided, that if any prepayment of the outstanding amount of any Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loans pursuant to this §3.3
is made on a date that is not the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, such prepayment shall be accompanied by the
payment of any amounts due pursuant to §4.8.
(b) The Borrower shall have the
right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Term Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time without penalty
or premium; provided, that if any prepayment of the outstanding amount of any Term LIBOR Rate Loans pursuant to this §3.3
is made on a date that is not the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, such prepayment shall be accompanied by the
payment of any amounts due pursuant to §4.7.
(c) The Borrower shall give the
Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) at least two (2) days prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to
this §3.3, in each case specifying the proposed date of prepayment of the Loans and the principal amount to be prepaid (provided
that any such notice may be revoked or modified upon one (1) day’s prior notice to the Agent).
§3.4
Partial Prepayments. Each partial prepayment of the Loans under §3.3 shall be in a minimum amount of $500,000.00
or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof, shall be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal
prepaid to the date of payment. Each partial payment under §3.2 and §3.3 shall be applied in the absence of instruction
by the Borrower, to the principal of Revolving Credit Loans and then to the principal of Term Loans (and with respect to each category
of Loans, first to the principal of Base Rate Loans, and then to the principal of LIBOR Rate Loans).
§3.5
Effect of Prepayments. Amounts of the Revolving Credit Loans prepaid under §3.2 and §3.3 prior to the Revolving
Credit Maturity Date may be reborrowed as provided in §2. Any portion of the Term Loans that is prepaid may not be reborrowed.
§4.
CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.
§4.1
Conversion Options.
(a)
The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any of its outstanding Revolving Credit Loans to a Revolving Credit
Loan of another Type or any of its outstanding Term Loans to another Term Loan of another Type and such Revolving Credit Loans
or Term Loans shall thereafter bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan, as applicable; provided that
(i) with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent at least
one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice of such election, and such conversion shall only be made on the last day
of the Interest Period with respect to such LIBOR Rate Loan, unless Borrower elects to pay the Breakage Costs association with
such conversion; (ii) with respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give
the Agent at least two (2) LIBOR Business Days’ prior written notice of such election and the Interest Period requested
for such Loan, the principal amount of the Loan so converted shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $500,000.00 or an integral
multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof and, after giving effect to the making of such Loan, there shall be no more than seven
(7) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time; and (iii) no Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Default
or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. All or any part of the outstanding Revolving Credit Loans or Term Loans of
any Type may be converted as provided herein, provided that no partial conversion shall result in a Revolving Credit Base
Rate Loan or a Term Base Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than $500,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 or a Revolving
Credit LIBOR Rate Loan or a Term LIBOR Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than $500,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00.
On the date on which such conversion is being made, each Lender shall take such action as is necessary to transfer its Commitment
Percentage of such Loans to its Domestic Lending Office or its LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be. Each Conversion/Continuation
Request relating to the conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by the Borrower.
(b)
Any LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such Type upon the expiration of an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance
by the Borrower with the terms of §4.1; provided that no LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such when any Default
or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of
the Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default.
(c)
In the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent of its election hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan,
such Loan shall be automatically continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan for the same Interest Period (unless such Interest Period shall
be greater than the time remaining until the Revolving Credit Maturity Date or Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable, in which
case the Interest Period shall be the Interest Period closest to the time remaining, without exceeding the time to the Revolving
Credit Maturity Date or Term Loan Maturity Date, as applicable) at the end of the applicable Interest Period.
§4.2
Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to KeyBank, Agent and Arranger for their own account certain fees for services rendered
or to be rendered in connection with the Loans as provided pursuant to the separate fee letter dated September 1, 2015, between
the Borrower, KeyBank and the Arranger (the “Agreement Regarding Fees”). All such fees shall be fully earned when paid
and nonrefundable under any circumstances.
§4.3
[Intentionally Omitted.]
§4.4
Funds for Payments.
(a)
All payments of principal, interest, facility fees, Letter of Credit fees, closing fees and any other amounts due hereunder
or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made to the Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders and the Agent,
as the case may be, at the Agent’s Head Office, not later than 4:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the day when due, in each case
in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds. If not received by 4:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the day when
due, the Agent is hereby authorized to charge the accounts of the Borrower with KeyBank, on the dates when the amount thereof shall
become due and payable, with the amounts of the principal of and interest on the Loans and all fees, charges, expenses and other
amounts owing to the Agent and/or the Lenders under the Loan Documents. Subject to the foregoing, all payments made to Agent on
behalf of the Lenders, and actually received by Agent, shall be deemed received by the Lenders on the date actually received by
Agent.
(b)
All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim
and free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes unless the Borrower is required by law to make such deduction or withholding,
in which case the Borrower shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted
or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law (including FATCA). If any such obligation
is imposed upon the Borrower with respect to any Indemnified Tax payable by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents,
the Borrower will pay to the Agent, for the account of the Lenders or (as the case may be) the Agent, on the date on which such
amount is due and payable hereunder or under such other Loan Document, such additional amount in Dollars as shall be necessary
to enable the Lenders or the Agent to receive the same net amount which the Lenders or the Agent would have received on such due
date had no such obligation with respect to the Indemnified Tax been imposed upon the Borrower. If any such Lender, to the extent
it may lawfully do so, fails to deliver the forms or other documentation described in §4.4(c) and/or (d), as applicable,
then the Agent may withhold from any payments to be made to such Lender under any of the Loan Documents such amounts as are required
by the Code. If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may
be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Agent therefor,
including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Agent under this Section,
and costs and expenses (including all reasonable fees and disbursements of any law firm or other external counsel and the allocated
cost of internal legal services and all disbursements of internal counsel) of the Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this
section shall survive the termination of the Commitments, repayment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the
Agent. The Borrower will deliver promptly to the Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt or other applicable evidence
of Taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan
Document.
(c)
Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any
Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent,
such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent as will permit such payments
to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower
or the Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information
reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and
submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in §§4.4(d)(i), (ii)(B) and (iv) below)
shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such
Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(d)
Without limiting the generality of §4.4(c), in the event the Borrower is a U.S. Borrower:
(i)
any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender
becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent),
executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(ii)
any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such
number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender
under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), whichever of
the following is applicable:
(a)
in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with
respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from,
or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with
respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction
of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax
treaty;
(b)
executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
(c)
in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of
the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is
not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder”
of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation”
described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed
originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or
(d)
to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form
W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-2 or Exhibit I-3,
IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign
Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest
exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit I-4
on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(iii)
any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Agent (in such
number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender
under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Agent), executed originals
of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding
Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower
or the Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(iv)
if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed
by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting and document provision requirements of FATCA (including
those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower
and the Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by either, such documentation
prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation
reasonably requested by the Borrower and/or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations
under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender obligations under FATCA and, as necessary,
to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this §4.4(d)(iv), “FATCA”
shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees
that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update
such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(e)
The obligations of the Borrower to the Revolving Credit Lenders under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit (and
of the Revolving Credit Lenders to make payments to the Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit) shall be absolute, unconditional
and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances
whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this
Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) any improper use which may be made of any Letter
of Credit or any improper acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit in connection therewith; (iii) the
existence of any claim, set-off, defense or any right which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may have at any
time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or
any such transferee may be acting) or the Revolving Credit Lenders (other than the defense of payment to the Revolving Credit Lenders
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any other Person, whether in connection with any Letter of Credit, this Agreement,
any other Loan Document, or any unrelated transaction; (iv) any draft, demand, certificate, statement or any other documents
presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be insufficient, forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement
therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (v) any breach of any agreement between the Borrower, any Guarantor
or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates and any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit; (vi) any
irregularity in the transaction with respect to which any Letter of Credit is issued, including any fraud by the beneficiary or
any transferee of such Letter of Credit; (vii) payment by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation
of a sight draft, demand, certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, provided
that such payment shall not have constituted bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender
as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods; (viii) any non-application
or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit; (ix) the legality, validity,
form, regularity or enforceability of the Letter of Credit; (x) the failure of any payment by Issuing Lender to conform to
the terms of a Letter of Credit (if, in Issuing Lender’s good faith judgment, such payment is determined to be appropriate);
(xi) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents;
(xii) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; and (xiii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or
not similar to any of the foregoing, provided that such other circumstances or happenings shall not have been the result of bad
faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods.
(f)
The Borrower and the Guarantors shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand
therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts
payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient
and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or
legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability
delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall
be conclusive absent manifest error.
(g)
Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified
Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or a Guarantor has not already indemnified the Agent
for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and the Guarantors to do so), (ii) any Taxes
attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of §18.4 relating to the maintenance of a Participant
Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Agent in
connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes
were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment
or liability delivered to any Lender by the Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the
Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by
the Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Agent under this §4.4(g).
(h)
If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to
which it has been indemnified pursuant to this §4.4 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this §4.4),
it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under
this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of
such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to
such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount
paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an
indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable
net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such
refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect
to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available
its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other
Person.
§4.5
Computations. All computations of interest on the Loans and of other fees to the extent applicable shall be based
on a 360-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest
Period” with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due
on a day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and interest
shall accrue during such extension. The Outstanding Loans as reflected on the records of the Agent from time to time shall be considered
prima facie evidence of such amount absent manifest error.
§4.6
Suspension of LIBOR Rate Loans. In the event that, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any
LIBOR Rate Loan, the Agent shall in its good faith discretion determine that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining
LIBOR for such Interest Period, or the Agent shall reasonably determine that LIBOR will not accurately and fairly reflect the cost
of the Lenders making or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans for such Interest Period, the Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination
(which shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and the Lenders absent manifest error) to the Borrower and the Lenders.
In such event (a) any Loan Request with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed
a request for a Base Rate Loan and (b) each LIBOR Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current Interest
Period applicable thereto, become a Base Rate Loan, and the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended
until the Agent determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the Agent shall promptly
notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof.
§4.7
Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any present or future law, regulation, treaty or directive
or the interpretation or application thereof shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority having
jurisdiction over a Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make or maintain LIBOR
Rate Loans, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Agent and the Borrower and thereupon (a) the
commitment of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended and (b) the LIBOR Rate Loans then outstanding
shall be converted automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loans
or within such earlier period as may be required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before giving such notice, the applicable
Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation will void the need for giving such notice and will not, in
the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender or increase any costs payable by Borrower hereunder.
§4.8
Additional Interest. If any LIBOR Rate Loan or any portion thereof is repaid or is converted to a Base Rate Loan
for any reason on a date which is prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan, or if repayment
of the Loans has been accelerated as provided in §12.1, the Borrower will pay to the Agent upon demand for the account of
the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages, in addition to any amounts of interest otherwise
payable hereunder, the Breakage Costs. Borrower understands, agrees and acknowledges the following: (i) no Lender has any
obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of LIBOR as a basis for calculating the rate of interest
on a LIBOR Rate Loan; (ii) LIBOR is used merely as a reference in determining such rate; and (iii) Borrower has accepted
LIBOR as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating such rate and any Breakage Costs. Borrower further agrees to pay the Breakage
Costs, if any, whether or not a Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds.
§4.9
Additional Costs, Etc. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Change in Law shall:
(a)
subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through
(d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit,
commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or
(b)
impose, modify or deem applicable any special deposit, reserve (other than the Reserve Percentage), compulsory loan, insurance
charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender or the Issuing
Lender, or
(c)
impose on any Lender or the Issuing Lender or the London Interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than
Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; and the result of
any of the foregoing is:
(i)
to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan
or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Issuing Lender or such other
Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in
or to issue any Letter of Credit), or
(ii)
to reduce the amount of principal, interest or other amount payable to any Lender, the Issuing Lender or other Recipient
hereunder on account of such Lender’s Commitment or any of the Loans or the Letters of Credit, or
(iii)
to require any Lender or such other Recipient to make any payment or to forego any interest or other sum payable hereunder,
the amount of which payment or foregone interest or other sum is calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable
or deemed received by such Lender or such other Recipient from the Borrower hereunder,
then, and in each such case, the Borrower
will, within fifteen (15) days of demand (or within sixty (60) days of demand if the amount demanded by a Recipient is in excess
of $100,000.00) made by a Recipient at any time and from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such
Recipient such additional amounts as such Recipient shall determine in good faith to be sufficient to compensate such Recipient
for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum.
§4.10
Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or Issuing Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or Issuing
Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding
capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing
Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence
of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender,
or the Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or Issuing Lender or such Lender’s
or Issuing Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s
or Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect
to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender
or Issuing Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or Issuing Lender or such
Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
§4.11
Breakage Costs. Borrower shall pay all Breakage Costs required to be paid by it pursuant to this Agreement and incurred
from time to time by any Lender upon demand within fifteen (15) days from receipt of written notice from Agent, or such earlier
date as may be required by this Agreement.
§4.12
Default Interest. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, and regardless of
whether or not the Agent or the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans, all Loans shall bear interest payable
on demand at a rate per annum equal to four percent (4%) above the Base Rate (the “Default Rate”), until such amount
shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment), and the fee payable with respect to Letters of Credit shall be increased
to a rate equal to four percent (4%) above the Letter of Credit fee that would otherwise be applicable to such time, or if any
of such amounts shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by law, then at the maximum rate permitted by law.
§4.13
Certificate. A certificate setting forth any amounts payable pursuant to §4.8, §4.9, §4.10, §4.11
or §4.12 and a reasonably detailed explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Recipient to the Borrower,
shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, the Borrower shall pay such
Recipient, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within fifteen (15) days after receipt thereof
(or sixty (60) days after receipt thereof if the amount shown as due in such certificate is in excess of $100,000.00).
§4.14
Limitation on Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, all
agreements between or among the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders and the Agent, whether now existing or hereafter arising
and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of
any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by the Lenders exceed the maximum amount
permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to the Lenders in excess
of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the Lenders shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable
law; and if from any circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess
of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance
of the Obligations and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the
Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full
of the principal of the Obligations (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for
such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This Section shall control all agreements
between or among the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders and the Agent.
§4.15
Certain Provisions Relating to Increased Costs. If a Lender gives notice of the existence of the circumstances set
forth in §4.7 or any Lender requests compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of
the provisions of §4.4(b), §4.4(f), §4.9 or §4.10, then, upon request of Borrower, such Lender, as applicable,
shall use reasonable efforts to eliminate, mitigate or reduce amounts that would otherwise be payable by Borrower under the foregoing
provisions, provided that such action would not be otherwise prejudicial to such Lender, including, without limitation,
by designating another of such Lender’s offices, branches or affiliates; the Borrower agreeing to pay all reasonably incurred
costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with any such action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and if any Lender has given notice of the existence
of the circumstances set forth in §4.7 or has requested payment or compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant
to any one or more of the provisions of §4.4(b), §4.4(f), §4.9 or §4.10 (each, an “Affected Lender”),
then, within thirty (30) days after such notice or request for payment or compensation, Borrower shall have the right as to such
Affected Lender, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the Affected Lender within such thirty
(30) day period, to elect to cause the Affected Lender to transfer its Commitment. The Agent shall promptly notify the remaining
Lenders that each of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the Commitment, pro rata
based upon their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the Affected Lender (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase
its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as approved by the Agent). In the event that the Lenders
do not elect to acquire all of the Affected Lender’s Commitment, then the Agent shall endeavor to obtain a new Lender to
acquire such remaining Commitment. Upon any such purchase of the Commitment of the Affected Lender, the Affected Lender’s
interest in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and
the Affected Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest. The purchase
price for the Affected Lender’s Commitment shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by Borrower to the Affected
Lender, including principal and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees.
§4.16
Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to
this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation;
provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section for any
increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Lender, as
the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s
or Issuing Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased
costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive
effect thereof).
§5.
UNSECURED OBLIGATIONS.
§5.1
Unsecured Obligations. The Lenders have agreed to make the Loans to the Borrower and the Issuing Lender has agreed
to issue Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower on an unsecured basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Obligations
shall be guaranteed pursuant to the terms of the Guaranty.
§5.2
Additional Subsidiary Guarantors. In the event that the Borrower shall request that certain Real Estate of a Wholly
Owned Subsidiary of Parent or the Borrower be included as a Subject Property, the Borrower shall as a condition thereto, in addition
to the requirements of §7.16, cause each such Wholly Owned Subsidiary to execute and deliver to Agent a Joinder Agreement,
and such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder. Each such Subsidiary shall not be restricted by its respective
organizational documents and applicable law, from serving as a Guarantor hereunder. The Borrower shall further cause all representations,
covenants and agreements in the Loan Documents with respect to the Guarantors to be true and correct with respect to each such
Subsidiary or other entity. In connection with the delivery of such Joinder Agreement, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent
such organizational agreements, resolutions, consents, opinions and other documents and instruments as the Agent may reasonably
require.
§5.3
Release of a Subsidiary Guarantor. The Borrower may request in writing that the Agent release, and upon receipt of
such request the Agent shall release (subject to the terms hereof), a Subsidiary Guarantor from the Guaranty so long as: (a) no
Default or Event of Default shall then be in existence or would occur as a result of such release or the removal of Real Estate
referred to in clause (c) below; (b) the Agent shall have received such written request at least five (5) Business Days
prior to the requested date of release; and (c) any Real Estate owned or leased by such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be removed
from the Subject Properties in accordance with §7.16 effective as of the date of such release. Delivery by the Borrower to
the Agent of any such request for a release shall constitute a representation by the Borrower that the matters set forth in the
preceding sentence (both as of the date of the giving of such request and as of the date of the effectiveness of such request)
are true and correct with respect to such request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the foregoing provisions shall not apply to Parent,
which may only be released upon the written approval of Agent and all of the Lenders.
§6.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.
The Borrower represents
and warrants to the Agent and the Lenders as follows.
§6.1
Corporate Authority, Etc.
(a)
Incorporation; Good Standing. Parent is a Maryland corporation duly organized pursuant to articles of incorporation

and free from material defects, subject to ordinary wear and tear. All of the other Real Estate of the Borrower, Guarantors and
their respective Subsidiaries is in good condition and working order commensurate with their age and use, subject to ordinary wear

Property) of the Borrower, the Guarantors or their respective Subsidiaries or any part thereof, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower,
no such proceedings are presently threatened or contemplated by any taking authority which may individually or in the aggregate

is now damaged as a result of any fire, explosion, accident, flood or other casualty in any manner which individually or in the
aggregate has had or could reasonably be expected to have any Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Subject Properties for which
a Subsidiary Guarantor maintains insurance complies with the material requirements relating to insurance set forth in the Lease

entity in connection with this Agreement or the Loans contemplated hereunder.
§6.24

their respective Subsidiaries (other than the Borrower or a Subsidiary Guarantor) in default beyond any applicable cure and/or
grace period, of the payment of any Indebtedness or the performance of any related agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, security
agreement, financing agreement, indenture or lease to which any of them is a party. Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor is a
party to or bound by any agreement, instrument or indenture that may require the subordination in right or time or payment of any
of the Obligations to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor. Schedule 6.25 hereto sets
forth all mortgages, deeds of trust, financing agreements or other material agreements binding upon the Borrower and each Guarantor

or will hereafter become indebted.
§6.28
Transaction in Best Interests of Borrower; Consideration. The transaction evidenced by this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents is in the best interests of the Borrower and each Guarantor. The direct and indirect benefits to inure to the Borrower
and the Guarantors pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute substantially more than “reasonably
equivalent value” (as such term is used in §548 of the Bankruptcy Code) and “valuable consideration,” “fair
value,” and “fair consideration” (as such terms are used in any applicable state fraudulent conveyance law),
in exchange for the benefits to be provided by the Borrower and the Guarantors pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents,
and but for the willingness of each Guarantor to guaranty the Loan, the Borrower would be unable to obtain the financing contemplated
hereunder which financing will enable the Borrower, each Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries to have available financing
to conduct and expand their business.
§6.29
Contribution Agreement. The Borrower and the Guarantors have executed and delivered the Contribution Agreement, and

therefor may be brought.

With Persons Who Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action and is not and shall not engage
in any dealings or transactions or otherwise be associated with such persons. In addition, Borrower hereby agrees to provide to
the Lenders any additional information that a Lender reasonably deems necessary from time to time in order to ensure compliance
with all applicable laws concerning money laundering and similar activities.
§6.31

or other obligation to which or with respect to which the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries is a
party or obligor, whether as principal or surety, and such default would permit the holder of such note or obligation or other

nature of the claimed default.

the landlord under such lease which default would provide the tenant with an ability to terminate the lease or the right to an
abatement of rent thereunder or (ii) delivers a notice to any tenant under a lease of a Subject Property of a payment or other
material default by such tenant under its lease.
(g)
Notification of Lenders. Within five (5) Business Days after receiving any notice under this §7.5, the

§7.6
Existence; Maintenance of Properties.
(a)
The Borrower will preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence as a Delaware limited partnership. Each Guarantor
will preserve and keep in full force and effect its legal existence in the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation. The
Borrower will cause each of its Subsidiaries which is not a Guarantor to preserve and keep in full force and effect their legal
existence in the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation except where such failure has not had and could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower will preserve and keep in full force all of its rights and franchises
and those of its Subsidiaries, the preservation of which is necessary to the conduct of their business (except with respect to
Subsidiaries of Borrower that are not Guarantors, where such failure has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect). Parent shall at all times comply with all requirements and applicable laws and regulations necessary
to maintain REIT Status and shall continue to receive REIT Status. The common stock of Parent shall at all times be listed for
trading and be traded on NASDAQ, the New York Stock Exchange or another nationally recognized exchange unless otherwise consented
to by the Required Lenders. The Borrower shall continue to own directly or indirectly one hundred percent (100%) of the Subsidiary
Guarantors.
(b)
The Borrower (i) will cause all of its properties and those of its Subsidiaries used or useful in the conduct of its
business or the business of its Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order (ordinary wear
and tear and damage by casualty excepted) and supplied with all necessary equipment, and (ii) will cause to be made all necessary
repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof in all cases in which the failure so to do would have a material
adverse effect on the condition of any Subject Property or would cause a Material Adverse Effect.
§7.7
Insurance. The Borrower, Parent and their respective Subsidiaries (as applicable) will procure and maintain or cause
to be procured and maintained insurance covering the Borrower, Parent and their respective Subsidiaries (as applicable) and the
Real Estate in such amounts and against such risks and casualties as are customary for properties of similar character and location,
due regard being given to the type of improvements thereon, their construction, location, use and occupancy; it being understood
and agreed that the foregoing shall not modify any obligation of a tenant under a Lease with regard to the placement and maintenance
of insurance.
§7.8
Taxes; Liens. The Borrower and the Guarantors will, and will cause their respective Subsidiaries to, duly pay and
discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, all taxes, assessments and other governmental
charges imposed upon them or upon the Subject Properties or the other Real Estate (where, as to any Real Estate other than the
Subject Properties, the failure to pay or discharge any such taxes, assessments or other charges could be reasonably expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect), sales and activities, or any part thereof, or upon the income or profits therefrom as well
as all claims for labor, materials or supplies that if unpaid might by law become a lien or charge upon any of its property or
other Liens affecting any property of Borrower, the Guarantors or their respective Subsidiaries, provided that any such
tax, assessment, charge or levy or claim need not be paid if the validity or amount thereof shall currently be contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings by Borrower, the Guarantors, their respective Subsidiaries or a tenant which shall suspend the
collection thereof with respect to such property, and neither such property nor any portion thereof or interest therein would be
in any danger of sale, forfeiture or loss by reason of such proceeding; and provided, further, that forthwith upon
the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien that may have attached as security therefor, the Borrower, any such Guarantor,
any such Subsidiary or a tenant either (i) will provide a bond issued by a surety reasonably acceptable to the Agent or other
collateral satisfactory to Agent and sufficient to stay all such proceedings or (ii) if no such bond or other collateral is
provided, will pay each such tax, assessment, charge or levy.
§7.9
Inspection of Properties and Books. The Borrower and the Guarantors will, and will cause their respective Subsidiaries
to, permit the Agent and the Lenders, at the Borrower’s expense and upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect any
of the properties of the Borrower, each Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries (subject to the rights of tenants and
with the understanding that any visit to or inspection of any Real Estate that is not a Subject Property shall be undertaken for
purposes of evaluating such Real Estate as it pertains to the Parent’s or the Borrower’s direct or indirect equity
interest therein), to examine the books of account of the Borrower, each Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries (and to make
copies thereof and extracts therefrom) and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrower, any Guarantor and their
respective Subsidiaries with, and to be advised as to the same by, their respective officers, all at such reasonable times and
intervals as the Agent or any Lender may reasonably request, provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall not be required to pay for such visits and inspections more often than once
in any twelve (12) month period. In the event that the Agent or a Lender shall visit and inspect a property of a Subsidiary of
Borrower which is not a Guarantor, such visit and inspection shall be made with a representative of Borrower (and Borrower agrees
to use reasonable efforts to make such representative available). The Lenders shall use good faith efforts to coordinate such visits
and inspections so as to minimize the interference with and disruption to the normal business operations of the Borrower, the Guarantors,
their respective Subsidiaries and any tenants.
§7.10
Compliance with Laws, Contracts, Licenses, and Permits. The Borrower and the Guarantors will, and will cause each
of their respective Subsidiaries to, comply in all respects with (i) all applicable laws and regulations now or hereafter
in effect wherever its business is conducted, including all Environmental Laws, (ii) the provisions of its corporate charter,
partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement or declaration of trust, as the case may be, and other charter documents
and bylaws, (iii) all agreements and instruments to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound,
(iv) all applicable decrees, orders, and judgments, and (v) all licenses and permits required by applicable laws and
regulations for the conduct of its business or the ownership, use or operation of its properties, except where a failure to so
comply with any of clauses (i) through (v) could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Borrower
shall develop and implement such programs, policies and procedures as are necessary to comply with the Patriot Act and shall promptly
advise Agent in writing in the event that Borrower shall determine that any investors in Borrower are in violation of such act.
§7.11
Further Assurances. The Borrower and each Guarantor will cooperate with the Agent and the Lenders and execute such
further instruments and documents as the Lenders or the Agent shall reasonably request to carry out to their satisfaction the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
§7.12
Limiting Agreements.
(a)
Neither the Borrower, the Guarantors nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall enter into, any agreement, instrument
or transaction which has or may have the effect of prohibiting or limiting the Borrower’s, the Guarantors’ or any of
their respective Subsidiaries’ ability to pledge to Agent any Subject Property as security for the Obligations. The Borrower
shall take, and shall cause the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries to take, such actions as are necessary to preserve
the right and ability of the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries to pledge the Subject Properties as security
for the Obligations without any such pledge after the date hereof causing or permitting the acceleration (after the giving of notice
or the passage of time, or otherwise) of any other Indebtedness of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries.
(b)
The Borrower shall, upon demand, provide to the Agent such evidence as the Agent may reasonably require to evidence compliance
with this §7.12, which evidence shall include, without limitation, copies of any agreements or instruments which would in
any way restrict or limit the Borrower’s, any Guarantor’s or any Subsidiary’s ability to pledge Subject Properties
as security for Indebtedness, or which provide for the occurrence of a default (after the giving of notice or the passage of time,
or otherwise) if Subject Properties are pledged in the future as security for Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor.
§7.13
Business Operations. The Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries shall operate their respective
businesses in substantially the same manner and in substantially the same fields and lines of business as such business is now
conducted and such other lines of business which are reasonably related or incidental thereto, and in compliance with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Borrower will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, directly or
indirectly, engage in any line of business other than the ownership, operation, development and sale of office, industrial, manufacturing,
retail, distribution, medical/healthcare, data center or flex properties (or Mortgage Receivables, Second Lien Mortgage Receivables
or Mezzanine Loans secured by such properties or an interest therein) and businesses reasonably related or incidental thereof.
§7.14
Distributions of Income to the Borrower. The Borrower shall cause all of its Subsidiaries (subject to the terms of
any loan documents under which such Subsidiary is the borrower) to promptly distribute to the Borrower (but not less frequently
than once each calendar quarter, unless otherwise approved by the Agent), whether in the form of dividends, distributions or otherwise,
all profits, proceeds or other income relating to or arising from its Subsidiaries’ use, operation, financing, refinancing,
sale or other disposition of their respective assets and properties after (a) the payment of reasonable and customary fees
and expenses (including brokerage commissions) incurred in connection with such refinancing, sale or other disposition, (b) all
money, contractually committed to replace assets with assets performing the same or similar functions, (c) the payment by each
Subsidiary of its debt service, operating expenses, capital improvements and leasing commissions for such quarter and (d) the
establishment of reasonable reserves for the payment of operating expenses not paid on at least a quarterly basis, for the payment
of leasing commissions and for capital improvements and tenant improvements to be made to such Subsidiary’s assets and properties
approved by such Subsidiary in the course of its business consistent with its past practices, and any other reserves reasonably
prudent in the business judgment of such Subsidiary so long as such reserves are reasonable and expected to be utilized within
six (6) months of the date such reserve is established or funded.
§7.15
Plan Assets. The Borrower will do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to ensure that none of the Subject Properties
will be deemed to be Plan Assets at any time.
§7.16
Unencumbered Properties.
(a)
The Eligible Real Estate included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value shall at all times satisfy all of the
following conditions:
(i)
the Eligible Real Estate shall be owned one hundred percent (100%) in fee simple or leased under a ground lease acceptable
to Agent in its reasonable discretion by a Subsidiary Guarantor, in each case free and clear of all Liens other than the Liens
permitted in §8.2(i) and (iv), and such Eligible Real Estate shall not have applicable to it any restriction on the sale,
pledge, transfer, mortgage or assignment of such property (including any restrictions contained in any applicable organizational
documents and excluding any right of first offer/refusal or purchase option as set forth in the leases provided to the Agent);
(ii)
none of the Eligible Real Estate shall have any material title, survey, environmental, structural or other defects that
would give rise to a materially adverse effect as to the value, use of or ability to sell or refinance such property;
(iii)
the only asset of such Subsidiary shall be Eligible Real Estate included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value
and related fixtures and personal property;
(iv)
each Eligible Real Estate is and shall be at least eighty percent (80%) leased (based on Net Rentable Area) to one or more
tenants which are an Eligible Tenant;
(v) no more than ten percent (10%) of the total Unencumbered Asset Value shall be attributable to Real Estate which is vacant
(for example, such tenant is no longer conducting business from such property); provided that a failure to satisfy the requirements
of this clause (v) shall not result in any Real Estate not being included as a Subject Property, but any such Unencumbered
Asset Value in excess of such limitation being excluded for purposes of calculating Unencumbered Asset Value and the Unencumbered
Net Operating Income corresponding thereto shall be similarly excluded);
(vi)
the Borrower shall have delivered to the Agent (A) a written request to include such Eligible Real Estate in the calculation
of the Unencumbered Asset Availability, (B) a physical description of such Eligible Real Estate, (C) a current Rent Roll
and current operating statements for such Eligible Real Estate, (D) a certification as to the matters covered under §7.16(a)(i)-(v),
and (E) such other information as the Agent may reasonably require with respect to such Eligible Real Estate, including any
information reasonably required by the Agent to determine compliance with this §7.16 (collectively, the “Eligible Real
Estate Qualification Documents”); and
(vii) such
Eligible Real Estate has not been removed from the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Availability pursuant to §7.16(b),
§7.16(c) or §7.16(d).
(b)
In the event that all or any material portion of any Eligible Real Estate included in the calculation of the Unencumbered
Asset Value shall be damaged in any material respect or taken by condemnation, then such property shall no longer be included in
the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value unless and until (i) any damage to such real estate is repaired or restored,
such real estate becomes fully operational and the Agent shall receive evidence satisfactory to the Agent of the value of such
real estate following such repair or restoration (both at such time and prospectively) or (ii) Agent shall receive evidence
satisfactory to the Agent that the value of such real estate (both at such time and prospectively) shall not be materially adversely
affected by such damage or condemnation. In the event that such damage or condemnation only partially affects such Eligible Real
Estate included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value, then the Required Lenders may in good faith reduce the Unencumbered
Asset Value attributable thereto based on such damage until such time as the Required Lenders receive evidence satisfactory to
the Required Lenders that the value of such real estate (both at such time and prospectively) shall no longer be materially adversely
affected by such damage or condemnation.
(c)
Upon any asset ceasing to qualify to be included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value, such asset shall no
longer be included in the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value unless otherwise approved in writing by the Required Lenders.
Within five (5) Business Days after becoming aware of any such disqualification, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a
certificate reflecting such disqualification, together with the identity of the disqualified asset, a statement as to whether any
Default or Event of Default arises as a result of such disqualification, and a calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value attributable
to such asset. Simultaneously with the delivery of the items required pursuant above, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent an
updated Unencumbered Asset Certificate demonstrating, after giving effect to such removal or disqualification, compliance with
the conditions and covenants contained in this §7.16 and §§9.2, 9.3 and 9.4.
(d)
In addition, the Borrower may voluntarily remove any Real Estate from the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Availability
upon any of the events described in §5.3(d) occurring, by delivering to the Agent, no later than five (5) Business Days
prior to date on which such removal is to be effected, notice of such removal, together with a statement that no Default or Event
of Default then exists or would, upon the occurrence of such event or with passage of time, result from such removal, the identity
of the Subject Property being removed. Simultaneously with the delivery of the items required above, the Borrower shall deliver
to the Agent a pro forma Compliance Certificate and Unencumbered Asset Certificate demonstrating, after giving effect to such removal
or disqualification, compliance with the covenants contained in this §7.16 and §§9.2, 9.3 and 9.4.
(e)
The Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of the addition or removal of any Real Estate from the calculation of the Unencumbered
Asset Availability.

§8.6
Compliance with Environmental Laws. Neither the Borrower nor Parent will, nor will either of them permit any of its
respective Subsidiaries or any other Person to, do any of the following: (a) use any of the Real Estate or any portion thereof

Substances used in the ordinary course of business and in material compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws, (b) cause
or permit to be located on any of the Real Estate any underground tank or other underground storage receptacle for Hazardous Substances
except in compliance with Environmental Laws, (c) generate any Hazardous Substances on any of the Real Estate except in compliance
with Environmental Laws, (d) conduct any activity at any Real Estate or use any Real Estate in any manner that could reasonably
be contemplated to cause a Release of Hazardous Substances on, upon or into the Real Estate or any surrounding properties or any
threatened Release of Hazardous Substances which could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under CERCLA or any other
Environmental Law, or (e) directly or indirectly transport or arrange for the transport of any Hazardous Substances (except
in compliance with all Environmental Laws), except, with respect to any Real Estate other than a Subject Property, where any such
use, generation, conduct or other activity has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
The Borrower shall,
and shall cause the Subsidiary Guarantors to:
(i)
in the event of any change in Environmental Laws governing the assessment, release or removal of Hazardous Substances, take
all reasonable action (including, without limitation, the conducting of engineering tests at the sole expense of the Borrower)
to confirm that no Hazardous Substances are or ever were Released or disposed of on the Subject Properties in violation of applicable
Environmental Laws; and
(ii)
if any Release or disposal of Hazardous Substances which any Person may be legally obligated to contain, correct or otherwise
remediate or which may otherwise expose it to liability shall occur or shall have occurred on the Subject Properties (including
without limitation any such Release or disposal occurring prior to the acquisition or leasing of such Subject Property by the Borrower
or any Subsidiary Guarantor), the Borrower shall, after obtaining knowledge thereof, cause the prompt containment and removal of
such Hazardous Substances and remediation of the Subject Property in full compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; provided,
that each of the Borrower and a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed to be in compliance with Environmental Laws for the purpose
of this clause (ii) so long as it or a responsible third party with sufficient financial resources is taking reasonable action
to remediate or manage any event of noncompliance to the reasonable satisfaction of the Agent and no action shall have been commenced
by any enforcement agency. The Agent may engage its own environmental consultant to review the environmental assessments and the
compliance with the covenants contained herein.
At any time after an
Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder the Agent may at its election (and will at the request of the Required Lenders)
obtain such environmental assessments of any or all of the Subject Properties prepared by an environmental consultant reasonably
acceptable to the Agent as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of evaluating or confirming (i) whether any Hazardous
Substances are present in the soil or water at or adjacent to any such Subject Property and (ii) whether the use and operation
of any such Subject Property complies with all Environmental Laws to the extent required by the Loan Documents. Additionally, at
any time that the Agent or the Required Lenders shall have reasonable grounds to believe that a Release or threatened Release of
Hazardous Substances which any Person may be legally obligated to contain, correct or otherwise remediate or which otherwise may
expose such Person to liability may have occurred, relating to any Subject Property, or that any of the Subject Property is not
in compliance with Environmental Laws to the extent required by the Loan Documents, Borrower shall promptly upon the request of
Agent obtain and deliver to Agent such environmental assessments of such Subject Property prepared by an environmental consultant
reasonably acceptable to the Agent as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of evaluating or confirming (i) whether
any Hazardous Substances are present in the soil or water at or adjacent to such Subject Property and (ii) whether the use
and operation of such Subject Property comply with all Environmental Laws to the extent required by the Loan Documents. Environmental
assessments may include detailed visual inspections of such Subject Property including, without limitation, any and all storage
areas, storage tanks, drains, dry wells and leaching areas, and the taking of soil samples, as well as such other investigations
or analyses as are reasonably necessary or appropriate for a complete determination of the compliance of such Subject Property
and the use and operation thereof with all applicable Environmental Laws. All environmental assessments contemplated by this §8.6
shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower.
§8.7

its shareholders, if such Distribution is in excess of the amount which, when added to the amount of all other Distributions paid
in the same calendar quarter and the preceding three (3) calendar quarters, would exceed one hundred percent (100%) of such
Person’s Funds from Operations for the preceding four (4) calendar quarters; provided that the limitations contained
in this §8.7(a) shall not preclude the Borrower from making Distributions to Parent (or Parent from making any Distribution

reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Agent.
(b)
In the event that a Default under §12.1(a) or (b) or an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,

in an amount equal to the minimum distributions under the Code to maintain the REIT Status of Parent, in each case as evidenced
by a certification of the principal financial or accounting officer of the Parent containing calculations in detail reasonably
satisfactory in form and substance to the Agent.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time when an Event of Default under §12.1(a), (b), (g), (h) or (i) shall
have occurred and be continuing or the maturity of the Obligations has been accelerated, neither Borrower nor Parent shall make
any Distributions whatsoever, directly or indirectly.

of any asset in a single or a series of related transactions with an aggregate value greater than twenty percent (20%) of the Consolidated
Total Asset Value without the prior written approval of the Lenders. Furthermore, prior to the sale, transfer, or other disposal
the Borrower, any Guarantor or any Subsidiary of any asset in a single or a series of related transactions with an aggregate value
greater than ten percent (10%) of the Consolidated Total Asset Value, the Borrower will provide the Agent with a written notice

(x) the prepayment of Indebtedness which is financed solely from the proceeds of a new loan which would otherwise be permitted
by the terms of §8.1; and (y) the prepayment, redemption, defeasance or other retirement of the principal of Indebtedness

Parent, the Borrower or any other Guarantor), except (i) transactions in connection with the Management Agreements, (ii) transactions
set forth on Schedule 6.15 hereto and (iii) transactions in the ordinary course of business pursuant to the reasonable
requirements of the business of such Person and upon fair and reasonable terms which are no less favorable to such Person than
would be obtained in a comparable arm’s length transaction with a Person that is not an Affiliate.
§8.12

to be created or incurred any Lien on any legal, equitable or beneficial interest of Parent in Borrower, including, without limitation,

under federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter constituted; provided that the events described in this §12.1(i) as
to any Subsidiary of the Borrower that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor shall not constitute an Event of Default unless the value
of the assets of any such Subsidiary or Subsidiaries that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor (calculated, to the extent applicable,
consistent with the calculation of Consolidated Total Asset Value) subject to an event or events described in §12.1(g), §12.1(h) or
§12.1(i) individually exceeds $30,000,000.00 or in the aggregate exceeds $50,000,000.00;

there shall remain in force, undischarged, unsatisfied and unstayed, for more than sixty (60) days, whether or not consecutive,
one or more uninsured or unbonded final judgments against Parent, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries that, either
individually or in the aggregate, exceed $10,000,000.00;
(k)
any of the Loan Documents or the Contribution Agreement shall be canceled, terminated, revoked or rescinded otherwise than
in accordance with the terms thereof or the express prior written agreement, consent or approval of the Lenders, or any action
at law, suit in equity or other legal proceeding to cancel, revoke or rescind any of the Loan Documents or the Contribution Agreement
shall be commenced by or on behalf of any of the Borrower or the Guarantors, or any court or any other governmental or regulatory
authority or agency of competent jurisdiction shall make a determination, or issue a judgment, order, decree or ruling, to the
effect that any one or more of the Loan Documents or the Contribution Agreement is illegal, invalid or unenforceable in accordance
with the terms thereof;
(l)
any dissolution, termination, partial or complete liquidation, merger or consolidation of any of Parent, the Borrower or
any of their respective Subsidiaries shall occur or any sale, transfer or other disposition of the assets of any of Parent, the
Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall occur other than as permitted under the terms of this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents;
(m)
with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan, an ERISA Reportable Event shall have occurred and the Required Lenders shall
have determined in their reasonable discretion that such event reasonably could be expected to result in liability of any of the
Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries to the PBGC or such Guaranteed Pension Plan in an aggregate amount
exceeding $5,000,000.00 and such event in the circumstances occurring reasonably could constitute grounds for the termination of
such Guaranteed Pension Plan by the PBGC or for the appointment by the appropriate United States District Court of a trustee to

Loan Document;
(p)
any Change of Control shall occur; or
(q)
an Event of Default under any of the other Loan Documents shall occur;
then, and in any such event, the Agent
may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice in writing to the Borrower declare all amounts owing with respect
to this Agreement, the Notes, the Letters of Credit and the other Loan Documents to be, and they shall thereupon forthwith become,
immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly
waived by the Borrower; provided that in the event of any Event of Default specified in §12.1(g), §12.1(h) or
§12.1(i), all such amounts shall become immediately due and payable automatically and without any requirement of presentment,
demand, protest or other notice of any kind from any of the Lenders or the Agent. Upon demand by Agent or the Required Revolving
Credit Lenders in their absolute and sole discretion after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, and
regardless of whether the conditions precedent in this Agreement for a Loan have been satisfied, the Lenders will cause a Loan
to be made in the undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit. The proceeds of any such Loan will be pledged to and held by Agent as
security for any amounts that become payable under the Letters of Credit and all other Obligations. In the alternative, if demanded
by Agent in its absolute and sole discretion after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower will
deposit with and pledge to Agent cash in an amount equal to the amount of all undrawn Letters of Credit. Such amounts will be pledged
to and held by Agent for the benefit of the Lenders as security for any amounts that become payable under the Letters of Credit
and all other Obligations. Upon any draws under Letters of Credit, at Agent’s sole discretion, Agent may apply any such amounts
to the repayment of amounts drawn thereunder and upon the expiration of the Letters of Credit any remaining amounts will be applied
to the payment of all other Obligations or if there are no outstanding Obligations and Lenders have no further obligation to make
Loans or issue Letters of Credit or if such excess no longer exists, such proceeds deposited by Borrower will be released to Borrower.
§12.2
Certain Cure Periods; Limitation of Cure Periods.
(a)
Notwithstanding anything contained in §12.1 to the contrary, (i) no Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon
the occurrence of any failure described in §12.1(b) in the event that the Borrower cures such Default within five (5) Business
Days following receipt of written notice of such Default, provided, however, that Borrower shall not be entitled
to receive more than five (5) notices in the aggregate pursuant to this clause (i) in any period of 365 days ending on
the date of any such occurrence of Default, and provided further that no such cure period shall apply to any payments
due upon the maturity of the Notes, and (ii) no Event of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any failure
described in §12.1(d) in the event that the Borrower cures such Default within thirty (30) days following receipt of
written notice of such default, provided that the provisions of this clause (ii) shall not pertain to defaults consisting
of a failure to provide insurance as required by §7.7, to any default consisting of a failure to comply with §7.4(c),§7.4(d),
§7.16, §8.1, §8.2, §8.3, §8.4, §8.7, §8.8 or §8.12 or to any Default excluded from any
provision of cure of defaults contained in any other of the Loan Documents.
(b)
In the event that there shall occur any Default or Event of Default that affects only certain Subject Property or the Subsidiary
Guarantor owner(s) thereof, then the Borrower may cure such Default or Event of Default (so long as no other Default or Event
of Default would arise as a result) by removing such Subject Property from the calculation of the Unencumbered Asset Value and
by reducing the outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit so that no Default exists under this Agreement, in which event such removal
and reduction shall be completed within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice of such Default or Event of Default from
the Agent or the Required Lenders.
(c)
Notwithstanding anything herein or otherwise to the contrary (except clause (b) of this §12.2), any Event of Default
occurring hereunder shall continue to exist (and shall be deemed to be continuing) until such time as such Event of Default is
waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement notwithstanding (i) any attempted cure or other action taken by
the Borrower or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default or (ii) any action taken or omitted to be
taken by Agent or any Lender prior to or subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default (other than the granting of a waiver
in writing in accordance with the terms of this Agreement).
§12.3
Termination of Commitments. If any one or more Events of Default specified in §12.1(g), §12.1(h) or
§12.1(i) shall occur, then immediately and without any action on the part of the Agent or any Lender any unused portion
of the credit hereunder shall terminate and the Lenders shall be relieved of all obligations to make Loans or issue Letters of
Credit to the Borrower. If any other Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Agent may, and upon the election
of the Required Revolving Credit Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower terminate the obligation to make Loans and issue Letters
of Credit to the Borrower. No termination under this §12.3 shall relieve the Borrower of its obligations to the Lenders arising
under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
§12.4
Remedies. In case any one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not the
Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans pursuant to §12.1, the Agent on behalf of the Lenders may, and with
the consent of the Required Lenders shall, proceed to protect and enforce their rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Notes
and/or any of the other Loan Documents by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate proceeding, including to the full
extent permitted by applicable law the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents, the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, and, if any amount shall have become due, by declaration
or otherwise, the enforcement of the payment thereof. No remedy herein conferred upon the Agent or the holder of any Note is intended
to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy
given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Agreement providing that the Loans may be evidenced by multiple Notes in favor of the Lenders, the Lenders acknowledge
and agree that only the Agent may exercise any remedies arising by reason of a Default or Event of Default. If Borrower or any
Guarantor fails to perform any agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents beyond any
applicable period for notice and cure, Agent may itself perform, or cause to be performed, any agreement or covenant of such Person
contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which such Person shall fail to perform, and the out-of-pocket costs
of such performance, together with any reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred (including
attorneys’ fees incurred in any appeal) by Agent in connection therewith, shall be payable by Borrower upon demand and shall
constitute a part of the Obligations and shall if not paid within five (5) Business Days after demand bear interest at the
Default Rate. In the event that all or any portion of the Obligations is collected by or through an attorney-at-law, the Borrower
shall pay all costs of collection including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees.
§12.5
Distribution of Proceeds. In the event that, following the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, any monies are received in connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise with respect to
the realization upon any of the assets of Borrower or the Guarantors, such monies shall be distributed for application as follows:
(a)
First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of the Agent for or in respect of, all reasonable out-of-pocket
costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have been paid, incurred or sustained by the Agent in connection with the
collection of such monies by the Agent, for the exercise, protection or enforcement by the Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies,
powers and privileges of the Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in support of any
provision of adequate indemnity to the Agent against any taxes or liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the
rights of the Agent or the Lenders to such monies;
(b)
Second, to all other Obligations (including any interest, expenses or other obligations incurred after the commencement
of a bankruptcy) in such order or preference as the Required Lenders shall determine; provided, that (i) distributions
in respect of such other Obligations shall include, on a pari passu basis, any Agent’s fee payable pursuant to §4.2;
(ii) in the event that any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, payments to such Lender shall be governed by §2.13, and (iii) except
as otherwise provided in clause (ii), Obligations owing to the Lenders with respect to each type of Obligation such as interest,
principal, fees and expenses shall be made among the Lenders pro rata; and provided, further that the Required Lenders
may in their discretion make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not then due and payable; and
(c)
Third, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower or to such other Persons as are entitled thereto.
§12.6
Collateral Account.
(a)
As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all Letter of Credit Liabilities and the other Obligations,
the Borrower hereby pledges and grants to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders as provided herein, a
security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral Account and the balances from time to time in
the Collateral Account (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided for below). The balances from time to time
in the Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any Letter of Credit Liabilities until applied by the Agent as provided
herein. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in the Collateral Account shall be subject to withdrawal
only as provided in this section. The obligation of the Borrower to establish the Collateral Account shall not arise unless and
until there is an obligation to deposit funds therein pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
(b)
Amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Agent in such Cash Equivalents as the
Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name of and be under
the sole dominion and control of the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders. The Agent shall exercise reasonable care in
the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such
funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Agent accords other funds deposited with the Agent, it
being understood that the Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any
parties with respect to any funds held in the Collateral Account.
(c)
If a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower
and the Lenders authorize the Agent to use the monies deposited in the Collateral Account to make payment to the beneficiary with
respect to such drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment.
(d)
If an Event of Default exists, the Required Lenders may, in their discretion, at any time and from time to time, instruct
the Agent to liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and apply proceeds thereof to the Obligations in accordance with
§12.5.
(e)
So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account exceed
the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then due and owing and the pro rata share of any Letter of Credit Obligations
of any Defaulting Lender after giving effect to §2.13(c), the Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of the Borrower,
deliver to the Borrower within ten (10) Business Days after the Agent’s receipt of such request from the Borrower, against
receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such of the balances in the Collateral Account as exceed
the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities at such time.
(f)
The Borrower shall pay to the Agent from time to time such fees as the Agent normally charges for similar services in connection
with the Agent’s administration of the Collateral Account and investments and reinvestments of funds therein. The Borrower
authorizes Agent to file such financing statements as Agent may reasonably require in order to perfect Agent’s security interest
in the Collateral Account, and Borrower shall promptly upon demand execute and deliver to Agent such other documents as Agent may
reasonably request to evidence its security interest in the Collateral Account.
§13.
SETOFF.
Regardless of the adequacy
of any collateral, during the continuance of any Event of Default, any deposits (general or specific, time or demand, provisional
or final, regardless of currency, maturity, or the branch where such deposits are held) or other sums credited by or due from any
Lender to the Borrower or the Guarantors and any securities or other property of the Borrower or the Guarantors in the possession
of such Lender may, without notice to Borrower or any Guarantor (any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower, Parent and
each of the other Guarantors) but with the prior written approval of Agent, be applied to or set off against the payment of Obligations
and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become due, now existing or hereafter
arising, of the Borrower or the Guarantors to such Lender. Each of the Lenders agrees with each other Lender that if such Lender
shall receive from the Borrower or the Guarantors, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, or otherwise,
and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Note or Notes held by such Lender any amount in excess of its ratable portion
of the payments received by all of the Lenders with respect to the Notes held by all of the Lenders, such Lender will make such
disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto
assignment of claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Lender receiving in respect of the Notes held by it its
proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter
recovered from such Lender, such disposition and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such
recovery, but without interest. In the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts
so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement
and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the
benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing
in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff. Lender agrees
to notify the Borrower promptly after any such set off and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall
not give the Borrower any cause of action or right to damages or affect the validity of such set off and application.
§14.
THE AGENT.
§14.1
Authorization. The Agent is authorized to take such action on behalf of each of the Lenders and to exercise all such
powers as are hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents and any related documents delegated to the Agent, together with
such powers as are reasonably incident thereto, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed herein or therein
shall be implied to have been assumed by the Agent. The obligations of the Agent hereunder are primarily administrative in nature,
and nothing contained in this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to constitute the Agent as a trustee
for any Lender or to create an agency or fiduciary relationship. Agent shall act as the contractual representative of the Lenders
hereunder, and notwithstanding the use of the term “Agent”, it is understood and agreed that Agent shall not have any
fiduciary duties or responsibilities to any Lender by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and is acting as an independent
contractor, the duties and responsibilities of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. The Borrower and any other Person shall be entitled to conclusively rely on a statement from the Agent that it has the
authority to act for and bind the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
§14.2
Employees and Agents. The Agent may exercise its powers and execute its duties by or through employees or agents
and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as the Agent may reasonably determine,
and all reasonable and documented fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the Borrower.
§14.3
No Liability. Neither the Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person
assisting them in their duties nor any agent, or employee thereof, shall be liable for (a) any waiver, consent or approval
given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents,
or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever,
except that the Agent or such other Person, as the case may be, shall be liable for losses due to its bad faith, willful misconduct
or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods
or (b) any action taken or not taken by Agent with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders or the Required Revolving
Credit Lenders, as applicable. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event
of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the Agent for
the account of the Lenders, unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to the Loan Documents
and describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of
default”.
§14.4
No Representations. The Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or validity or enforceability of this Agreement,
the Notes, any of the other Loan Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security
for the Notes, or for the value of any such collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or collectability of any such
amounts owing with respect to the Notes, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein, or any agreement,
instrument or certificate delivered in connection therewith or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument
hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or be bound
to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or
in any of the other Loan Documents. The Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered
to it by the Borrower, the Guarantors or any holder of any of the Notes shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and
complete. The Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume
any liability to the Lenders, with respect to the creditworthiness or financial condition of the Borrower, the Guarantors, or any
of their respective Subsidiaries, or the value of any assets of the Borrower or the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries.
Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such
information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.
Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, based upon such
information and documents as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis and decisions in taking
or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Agent’s Special Counsel has only represented Agent
and KeyBank in connection with the Loan Documents and the only attorney client relationship or duty of care is between Agent’s
Special Counsel and Agent or KeyBank. Each Lender has been independently represented by separate counsel on all matters regarding
the Loan Documents.
§14.5
Payments.
(a)
A payment by the Borrower or any Guarantor to the Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents for the account
of any Lender shall constitute a payment to such Lender. The Agent agrees to distribute to each Lender not later than one Business
Day after the Agent’s receipt of good funds, determined in accordance with the Agent’s customary practices, such Lender’s
pro rata share of payments received by the Agent for the account of the Lenders except as otherwise expressly provided herein or
in any of the other Loan Documents. In the event that the Agent fails to distribute such amounts within one Business Day as provided
above, the Agent shall pay interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time
in effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then,
until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, each payment by the Borrower hereunder shall be applied in accordance
with §2.13(d).
(b)
If in the opinion of the Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes
or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain from making such distribution until its
right to make such distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction
shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution
shall have been made shall either repay to the Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay
over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.
§14.6
Holders of Notes. Subject to the terms of §18, the Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the absolute
owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall have been furnished in writing with a different name by such
payee or by a subsequent holder, assignee or transferee.
§14.7
Indemnity. The Lenders ratably agree hereby to indemnify and hold harmless the Agent from and against any and all
claims, actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise), losses, damages, costs, expenses (including any expenses for which
the Agent has not been reimbursed by the Borrower as required by §15), and liabilities of every nature and character arising
out of or related to this Agreement, the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated or evidenced
hereby or thereby, or the Agent’s actions taken hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same shall
be directly caused by the Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods. The agreements in this §14.7 shall survive the payment of all amounts
payable under the Loan Documents.
§14.8
Agent as Lender. In its individual capacity, KeyBank shall have the same obligations and the same rights, powers
and privileges in respect to its Commitment and the Loans made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes as it would have were
it not also the Agent.
§14.9
Resignation. The Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice thereof
to the Lenders and the Borrower. Any such resignation may at Agent’s option also constitute Agent’s resignation as
Issuing Lender. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders, subject to the terms of §18.1, shall have the right to appoint
as a successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender, any Lender or any bank whose senior debt obligations are rated not less
than “A” or its equivalent by Moody’s or not less than “A” or its equivalent by S&P and which
has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000.00. Unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such
successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor Agent shall
have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of
notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be any Lender
or any bank whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than “A2” or its equivalent by Moody’s or not less
than “A” or its equivalent by S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000.00. Upon the acceptance
of any appointment as Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender, hereunder by a successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender,
such successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender, shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender, and the retiring Agent and, if applicable, Issuing
Lender, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder as Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender. After any retiring
Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall continue in effect for its benefit
in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as Agent and Issuing Lender. If the resigning
Agent shall also resign as the Issuing Lender, such successor Agent shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters
of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or shall make other arrangements satisfactory to the current Issuing
Lender, in either case, to assume effectively the obligations of the current Agent with respect to such Letters of Credit. Upon
any change in the Agent under this Agreement, the resigning Agent shall execute such assignments of and amendments to the Loan
Documents as may be necessary to substitute the successor Agent for the resigning Agent.
§14.10
Duties in the Case of Enforcement. In case one or more Events of Default have occurred and shall be continuing, and
whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have occurred, the Agent may and, if (a) so requested by the Required
Lenders and (b) the Lenders have provided to the Agent such additional indemnities and assurances in accordance with their
respective Commitment Percentages against expenses and liabilities as the Agent may reasonably request, shall proceed to exercise
all or any legal and equitable and other rights or remedies as it may have; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent
shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such
action, with respect to such Event of Default as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Lenders. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, if Agent reasonably determines payment is in the best interest of all the Lenders, Agent may without
the approval of the Lenders pay taxes and insurance premiums and spend money for maintenance, repairs or other expenses which may
be necessary to be incurred, and Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders of such action. Each Lender shall, within thirty
(30) days of request therefor, pay to the Agent its Commitment Percentage of the reasonable costs incurred by the Agent in taking
any such actions hereunder to the extent that such costs shall not be promptly reimbursed to the Agent by the Borrower or the Guarantors
within such period. The Required Lenders may direct the Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such exercise,
the Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the Agent harmless in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages
from all liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions, provided that
the Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Agent reasonably believes the Agent’s compliance
with such direction to be unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction or commercially unreasonable in any applicable jurisdiction.
§14.11
Bankruptcy. In the event a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is commenced by or against Borrower or any Guarantor
with respect to the Obligations, the Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right to file and pursue a joint proof claim on behalf
of all Lenders. Any votes with respect to such claims or otherwise with respect to such proceedings shall be subject to the vote
of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders as required by this Agreement. Each Lender irrevocably waives its right to file or
pursue a separate proof of claim in any such proceedings unless Agent fails to file such claim within thirty (30) days after receipt
of written notice from the Lenders requesting that Agent file such proof of claim.
§14.12
Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon,
any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message,
Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise
authenticated by an Authorized Officer. The Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed
by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance
with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the
Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent shall have received notice to the contrary
from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower),
independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance
with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
§14.13
Approvals. If consent is required for some action under this Agreement, or except as otherwise provided herein an
approval of the Lenders, the Required Lenders or the Required Revolving Credit Lenders is required or permitted under this Agreement,
each Lender agrees to give the Agent, within ten (10) days of receipt of the request for action together with all reasonably requested
information related thereto (or such lesser period of time required by the terms of the Loan Documents), notice in writing of approval
or disapproval (collectively “Directions”) in respect of any action requested or proposed in writing pursuant to the
terms hereof. To the extent that any Lender does not approve any recommendation of Agent, such Lender shall in such notice to Agent
describe the actions that would be acceptable to such Lender. If consent is required for the requested action, any Lender’s
failure to respond to a request for Directions within the required time period shall be deemed to constitute a Direction to take
such requested action. In the event that any recommendation is not approved by the requisite number of Lenders and a subsequent
approval on the same subject matter is requested by Agent, then for the purposes of this paragraph each Lender shall be required
to respond to a request for Directions within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such request. Agent and each Lender shall
be entitled to assume that any officer of the other Lenders delivering any notice, consent, certificate or other writing is authorized
to give such notice, consent, certificate or other writing unless Agent and such other Lenders have otherwise been notified in
writing.
§14.14
Borrower Not Beneficiary. Except for the provisions of §14.9 relating to the appointment of a successor Agent,
the provisions of this §14 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, may not be enforced by the Borrower or
any Guarantor, and except for the provisions of §14.9, may be modified or waived without the approval or consent of the Borrower
and Guarantors.

representations and warranties made herein, in the Notes, in any of the other Loan Documents or in any documents or other papers

made by any of them, and shall survive the making by the Lenders of any of the Loans, as herein contemplated, and shall continue
in full force and effect so long as any amount due under this Agreement or the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents remains

of Credit. The indemnification obligations of the Borrower provided herein and in the other Loan Documents shall survive the full

ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATION.
§18.1
Conditions to Assignment by Lenders. Except as provided herein, each Lender may assign to one or more banks or other
entities all or a portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment
Percentage and Commitment and the same portion of the Loans at the time owing to it and the Notes held by it); provided
that (a) the Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, the Borrower shall have each given its
prior written consent to such assignment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that (i) such
consent shall not be required for any assignment to another Lender, to a lender which is and remains under common control with
the assigning Lender or to a Wholly Owned Subsidiary of such Lender, provided that such assignee shall remain a Wholly Owned Subsidiary
of such Lender and (ii) the Borrower will be deemed to have consented unless it provides notice to the Agent and the assigning
Lender of its disapproval within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of such request and), (b) each such assignment shall
be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement,
(c) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent, for recording in the Register (as hereinafter defined)
an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement in the form of Exhibit G annexed hereto, together with any Notes subject to
such assignment, (d) in no event shall any assignment be to (i) any Person controlling, controlled by or under common
control with, the Borrower or any Guarantor or (ii) a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender, (e) such
assignee shall have a net worth or unfunded commitment as of the date of such assignment of not less than $100,000,000.00 (unless
otherwise approved by Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, Borrower), (f) such assignee
shall acquire an interest in the Loans of not less than $5,000,000.00 and integral multiples of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof
(or if less, the remaining Loans of the assignor), unless waived by the Agent, and so long as no Default or Event of Default exists
hereunder, the Borrower, (g) if such assignment is less than the assigning Lender’s entire Commitment, the assigning
Lender shall retain an interest in the Loans of not less than $5,000,000.00, and (h) such assignee shall be subject to the
terms of any intercreditor agreement among the Lenders and the Agent. Upon execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of such
Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and all other Loan Documents executed
by the Lenders and, to the extent provided in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Lender
hereunder, (ii) the assigning Lender shall, upon payment to the Agent of the registration fee referred to in §18.2, be
released from its obligations under this Agreement arising after the effective date of such assignment with respect to the assigned
portion of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) the Agent may unilaterally amend Schedule 1
hereto to reflect such assignment. In connection with each assignment, the assignee shall represent and warrant to the Agent, the
assignor and each other Lender as to whether such assignee is controlling, controlled by, under common control with or is not otherwise
free from influence or control by, the Borrower or any Guarantor and whether such assignee is a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate
of a Defaulting Lender. In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender, no such assignment
shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment
shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which
may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower
and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender to each of which
the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then
owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund
as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Commitment
Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender
hereunder shall become effective under applicable law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee
of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs. Furthermore,
in connection with the syndication of the Loan by Agent and Arranger, the Borrower agree to assist Agent and Arranger actively
in achieving a timely syndication that is reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, Agent and Arranger, such assistance to include,
among other things, (i) direct contact during the syndication between the Borrower’s senior officers, representatives
and advisors, on the one hand, and prospective Lenders, on the other hand at such times and places as Agent or Arranger may reasonably
request, (ii) providing to Agent and Arranger all financial and other information with respect to the Borrower and the transactions
contemplated hereunder that Agent or Arranger may reasonably request, including but not limited to financial projections relating
to the foregoing, and (iii) assistance in the preparation of a confidential information memorandum and other marketing materials
to be used in connection with the syndication.
§18.2
Register. The Agent shall maintain on behalf of the Borrower a copy of each assignment delivered to it and a register
or similar list (the “Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment Percentages
of and principal amount of the Loans owing to the Lenders from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, in
the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is
recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection
by the Borrower and the Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon each such recordation,
the assigning Lender agrees to pay to the Agent a registration fee in the sum of $5,000.00.
§18.3
New Notes. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed by the parties to such assignment,
together with each Note subject to such assignment, the Agent shall record the information contained therein in the Register. Within
five (5) Business Days after receipt of notice of such assignment from Agent, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute
and deliver to the Agent, in exchange for each surrendered Note, a new Note to the order of such assignee in an amount equal to
the amount assigned to such assignee pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and, if the assigning Lender has retained
some portion of its obligations hereunder, a new Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the amount retained
by it hereunder. Such new Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes, shall be in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the surrendered Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and
Acceptance Agreement and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the assigned Notes. The surrendered Notes shall be canceled
and returned to the Borrower.
§18.4
Participations. Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Lenders or other entities in all or a portion
of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (a) any
such sale or participation shall not affect the rights and duties of the selling Lender hereunder, (b) such participation
shall not entitle such participant to any rights or privileges under this Agreement or any Loan Documents, including without limitation,
rights granted to the Lenders under §4.8, §4.9 and §4.10, (c) such participation shall not entitle the participant
to the right to approve waivers, amendments or modifications, (d) such participant shall have no direct rights against the
Borrower, (e) such sale is effected in accordance with all applicable laws, and (f) such participant shall not be (i) a
Person controlling, controlled by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by any
of the Borrower or any Guarantor or (ii) a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender; provided, however,
such Lender may agree with the participant that it will not, without the consent of the participant, agree to (i) increase,
or extend the term or extend the time or waive any requirement for the reduction or termination of, such Lender’s Commitment,
(ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender
(other than pursuant to an extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date pursuant to §2.12), (iii) reduce the amount
of any such payment of principal, (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon or (v) release any Guarantor
(except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement). Any Lender which sells a participation shall promptly notify the Agent of
such sale and the identity of the purchaser of such interest.
§18.5
Pledge by Lender. Any Lender may at any time pledge all or any portion of its interest and rights under this Agreement
(including all or any portion of its Note) to any of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under §4 of the Federal Reserve
Act, 12 U.S.C. §341 or to such other Person as the Agent may approve to secure obligations of such lenders. No such pledge
or the enforcement thereof shall release the pledgor Lender from its obligations hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.
§18.6
No Assignment by Borrower. The Borrower shall not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of each of the Lenders.
§18.7
Disclosure. Borrower agrees to promptly cooperate with any Lender in connection with any proposed assignment or participation
of all or any portion of its Commitment. The Borrower agrees that in addition to disclosures made in accordance with standard banking
practices any Lender may disclose information obtained by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement to assignees or participants and
potential assignees or participants hereunder provided such Persons are advised of the provisions of this §18.7. Each Lender
agrees for itself that it shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with its customary procedures to hold confidential all non-public
information obtained from Parent, Borrower or any other Guarantor that has been identified verbally or in writing as confidential
by any of them, and shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with its customary procedures to not disclose such information to
any other Person, it being understood and agreed that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender may make (a) disclosures to
its participants (provided such Persons are advised of the provisions of this §18.7), (b) disclosures to its directors,
officers, employees, Affiliates, accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and other professional advisors of such Lender (provided
that such Persons who are not employees of such Lender are advised of the provision of this §18.7), (c) disclosures customarily
provided or reasonably required by any potential or actual bona fide assignee, transferee or participant or their respective directors,
officers, employees, Affiliates, accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and other professional advisors in connection with a potential
or actual assignment or transfer by such Lender of any Loans or any participations therein (provided such Persons are advised of
the provisions of this §18.7), (d) disclosures to bank regulatory authorities or self-regulatory bodies with jurisdiction
over such Lender, or (e) disclosures required or requested by any other governmental authority or representative thereof or
pursuant to legal process; provided that, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender shall notify
Borrower of any request by any governmental authority or representative thereof prior to disclosure (other than any such request
in connection with any examination of such Lender by such government authority) for disclosure of any such non-public information
prior to disclosure of such information. Non-public information shall not include any information which is or subsequently becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure of such information by a Lender, or prior to the delivery to such Lender
is within the possession of such Lender if such information is not known by such Lender to be subject to another confidentiality
agreement with or other obligations of secrecy to Parent, the Borrower or the other Guarantors, or is disclosed with the prior
approval of Borrower. Nothing herein shall prohibit the disclosure of non-public information to the extent necessary to enforce
the Loan Documents.
§18.8
Amendments to Loan Documents. Upon any such assignment or participation, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall, upon
the request of the Agent, enter into such documents as may be reasonably required by the Agent to modify the Loan Documents to
reflect such assignment or participation.
§18.9
Mandatory Assignment. In the event the Borrower requests that certain amendments, modifications or waivers be made
to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which request is approved by Agent but is not approved by one or more of the
Lenders (any such non-consenting Lender shall hereafter be referred to as the “Non-Consenting Lender”), then, within
sixty (60) Business Days after the Borrower’s receipt of notice of such disapproval by such Non-Consenting Lender, the Borrower
shall have the right as to such Non-Consenting Lender, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and
the Non-Consenting Lender within sixty (60) Business Days of receipt of such notice, to elect to cause the Non-Consenting Lender
to transfer its Commitment. The Agent shall promptly notify the remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the Commitment, pro rata based upon their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the
Non-Consenting Lender (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders
in such proportion as approved by the Agent). In the event that the Lenders do not elect to acquire all of the Non-Consenting Lender’s
Commitment, then the Agent shall endeavor to find a new Lender or Lenders to acquire such remaining Commitment. Upon any such purchase
of the Commitment of the Non-Consenting Lender, the Non-Consenting Lender’s interests in the Obligations and its rights and
obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Non-Consenting Lender shall
promptly execute and deliver any and all documents reasonably requested by Agent to surrender and transfer such interest, including,
without limitation, an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G and such Non-Consenting
Lender’s original Note. The purchase price for the Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment shall equal any and all amounts
outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Non-Consenting Lender, including principal and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees,
plus any applicable amounts payable pursuant to §4.8 which would be owed to such Non-Consenting Lender if the Loans were to
be repaid in full on the date of such purchase of the Non-Consenting Lender’s Commitment (provided that the Borrower may
pay to such Non-Consenting Lender any interest, fees or other amounts (other than principal) owing to such Non-Consenting Lender).
§18.10
Titled Agents. The Titled Agents shall not have any additional rights or obligations under the Loan Documents, except
for those rights, if any, as a Lender.
§19.

Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but
only with, the written consent of the Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the following may occur without
the written consent of each Lender: (a) a reduction in the rate of interest on the Notes; (b) an increase in the amount
of the Commitments of the Lenders (except as provided in §2.11 and §18.1); (c) a forgiveness, reduction or waiver
of the principal of any unpaid Loan or any interest thereon or fee payable under the Loan Documents; (d) a change in the amount
of any fee payable to a Lender hereunder; (e) the postponement of any date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest
on the Loan; (f) an extension of the Revolving Credit Maturity Date (except as provided in §2.12) or Term Loan Maturity
Date, as applicable; (g) a change in the manner of distribution of any payments to the Lenders or the Agent; (h) the
release of the Borrower or any Guarantor except as otherwise provided in this Agreement; (i) an amendment of the definition
of Required Lenders or Required Revolving Credit Lenders or of any requirement for consent by all of the Lenders; (j) any
modification to require a Lender to fund a pro rata share of a request for an advance of the Loan made by the Borrower other than
based on its Commitment Percentage; (k) an amendment to this §27; or (l) an amendment of any provision of this Agreement
or the Loan Documents which requires the approval of all of the Lenders, the Required Lenders or the Required Revolving Credit
Lenders to require a lesser number of Lenders to approve such action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting
Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent
which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable
Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders) except that the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased without the consent
of such Lender. The provisions of §14 may not be amended without the written consent of the Agent. There shall be no amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision in the Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit without the consent of the Issuing
Lender. The Borrower agrees to enter into such modifications or amendments of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents as reasonably
may be requested by KeyBank in connection with the syndication of the Loan, provided that no such amendment or modification
materially affects or increases any of the obligations of the Borrower hereunder. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation
not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Agent
or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. No notice to or demand
upon any of the Borrower or the Guarantors shall entitle the Borrower or any Guarantor to other or further notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances.
§28.
SEVERABILITY.
The provisions of this
Agreement are severable, and if any one clause or provision hereof shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in
any jurisdiction, then such invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such
jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision
of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.
§29.
TIME OF THE ESSENCE.
Time is of the essence
with respect to each and every covenant, agreement and obligation of the Borrower and the Guarantors under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.
§30.
NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS.
THE LOAN DOCUMENTS
REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT
ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. ANY ADDITIONAL TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE PARTIES ARE SET FORTH BELOW.
§31.
REPLACEMENT NOTES.
Upon receipt of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to Borrower of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note, and in the case of any such loss,
theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to Borrower or, in the case of any such mutilation,
upon surrender and cancellation of the applicable Note, Borrower will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note,
identical in form and substance to the applicable Note and dated as of the date of the applicable Note and upon such execution
and delivery all references in the Loan Documents to such Note shall be deemed to refer to such replacement Note.
§32.
NO THIRD PARTIES BENEFITED.
This Agreement and
the other Loan Documents are made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the
Agent and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have
any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. All conditions
to the performance of the obligations of the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, including the obligation to make Loans
and issue Letters of Credit, are imposed solely and exclusively for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and no other Person
shall have standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that the
Agent and the Lenders will refuse to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit in the absence of strict compliance with any or all
thereof and no other Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any and all of which
may be freely waived in whole or in part by the Agent and the Lenders at any time if in their sole discretion they deem it desirable
to do so. In particular, the Agent and the Lenders make no representations and assume no obligations as to third parties concerning
the quality of the construction by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any development or the absence therefrom of defects.
§33.
PATRIOT ACT.
Each Lender and the
Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies Borrower and Guarantors that, pursuant to the requirements of
the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes names
and addresses and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to identify Borrower in accordance
with the Patriot Act.

$______________ |
_____________ ___, 2015 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED,
the undersigned, GLADSTONE COMMERCIAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Maker”), hereby promises
to pay to __________________________________ (“Payee”), or order, in accordance with the terms of that certain First
Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of October 5, 2015, as from time to time in effect, by and among Maker, Gladstone
Commercial Corporation, KeyBank National Association, for itself and as Agent, and such other Lenders as may be from time to time
named therein (the “Credit Agreement”), to the extent not sooner paid, on or before the Revolving Credit Maturity Date,
the principal sum of _________________ ($__________), or such amount as may be advanced by the Payee under the Credit Agreement
as a Revolving Credit Loan with daily interest from the date thereof, computed as provided in the Credit Agreement, on the principal
amount hereof from time to time unpaid, at a rate per annum on each portion of the principal amount which shall at all times be
equal to the rate of interest applicable to such portion in accordance with the Credit Agreement, and with interest on overdue
principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on overdue installments of interest and late charges at the rates provided
in the Credit Agreement. Interest shall be payable on the dates specified in the Credit Agreement, except that all accrued interest
shall be paid at the stated or accelerated maturity hereof or upon the prepayment in full hereof. Capitalized terms used herein
and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.
Payments hereunder
shall be made to the Agent for the Payee at 127 Public Square, Cleveland, Ohio 44114-1306, or at such other address as Agent may
designate from time to time.
This Note is one of
one or more Revolving Credit Notes evidencing borrowings under and is entitled to the benefits and subject to the provisions of
the Credit Agreement. The principal of this Note may be due and payable in whole or in part prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity
Date and is subject to mandatory prepayment in the amounts and under the circumstances set forth in the Credit Agreement, and may
be prepaid in whole or from time to time in part, all as set forth in the Credit Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything
in this Note to the contrary, all agreements between the undersigned Maker and the Lenders and the Agent, whether now existing
or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration
of the maturity of any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by the Lenders exceed
the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable
to the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the Lenders shall be reduced to the maximum amount
permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by
applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction
of the principal balance of the Obligations of the undersigned Maker and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest
exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations of the undersigned Maker, such excess shall be refunded to the undersigned
Maker. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated,
allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal of the Obligations of the undersigned Maker
(including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the
maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This paragraph shall control all agreements between the undersigned Maker and
the Lenders and the Agent.
In case an Event of
Default shall occur, the entire principal amount of this Note may become or be declared due and payable in the manner and with
the effect provided in said Credit Agreement.
This Note shall, pursuant
to New York General Obligations Law Section 5-1401, be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
[This Note and certain
other Notes being executed contemporaneously herewith are delivered in amendment and restatement of the “Revolving Credit
Notes” as such term is defined in the Original Credit Agreement.][1]
The undersigned Maker
and all guarantors and endorsers hereby waive presentment, demand, notice, protest, notice of intention to accelerate the indebtedness
evidenced hereby, notice of acceleration of the indebtedness evidenced hereby and all other demands and notices in connection with
the delivery, acceptance, performance and enforcement of this Note, except as specifically otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement,

ENVIRONMENTAL NOTICES AND ACTIONS
At the time of
acquisition by RB08 Concord OH LLC the 45.91 acre property had seven areas of concern with soil or groundwater contamination requiring
remediation or engineered controls. These areas of concern were fully characterized and a remediation plan was in place to achieve
“no further action” status with Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (the “OEPA”). When the existing tenant
acquired the property from its previous landlord, it retained ENVIRON to remediate the site. ENVIRON, who began environmental work
on site in 2006, is a “Certified Professional” in the state of Ohio and is qualified to submit a “no further
action” to OEPA for approval. After acquisition of the property by RB08 Concord OH LLC, AEI Consultants (“AEI”)
was hired to work with, monitor and evaluate the work of ENVIRON. Work began in Spring 2008. The remediation work has been successfully
completed and an approved Operations & Maintenance Plan is in place. A “No Further Action Letter” from a Certified
Professional was submitted on June 27, 2011. The No Further Action Letter and Addenda to it have been approved by the OEPA. A Covenant
Not to Sue was received from the OEPA on March 19, 2013.
