Item 1.01.      ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On November 12, 2013, a subsidiary of Taubman Centers, Inc., The Taubman Realty Group Limited Partnership ("TRG"), entered into an unsecured Term Loan Agreement (the "Agreement") with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, and the various lenders and agents on the signature pages thereto. The Agreement provides for a loan that matures on February 28, 2019. Pricing under the loan is based on TRG's total leverage ratio as shown in the table below.

	
					
Ratio Level	 	Total Leverage Ratio*	 	Eurodollar Spread	
Level I	 	< 45%	 	1.35%	
Level II	 	≥ 45% and < 50%	 	1.45%	
Level III	 	≥ 50% and < 55%	 	1.60%	
Level IV	 	≥ 55%	 	1.90%	
*Total Leverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of Total Outstanding Indebtedness to Capitalization Value as defined in the Agreement.

As of November 12, 2013, the leverage ratio results in pricing of LIBOR plus 1.35%.

The Agreement provides for an aggregate commitment of $475 million (which may be increased up to $600 million, subject to conditions therein). The loan proceeds of $475 million were used to pay off the 5.28 percent, $305 million loan on Beverly Center, and excess proceeds, net of fees and accrued interest, were used to pay down the Company's lines of credit. The entities owning Beverly Center, Dolphin Mall, Fairlane Town Center, Twelve Oaks Mall, and The Shops at Willow Bend are guarantors under the Agreement and the Company's $1.1 billion revolving credit agreement dated as of February 28, 2013, and will be unencumbered assets under both loans. The Agreement also contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including financial covenants, and events of default that are similar to TRG's existing revolving credit agreement.

Separately, the Company has entered into a forward interest rate swap agreement to reduce its exposure to interest rate fluctuations. The swap will effectively fix the interest rate on the $475 million loan to a rate of 3 percent beginning January 2, 2014 through its maturity date.

The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by (i) the Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1, (ii) the Guaranty, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.2, and (iii) Amendment No. 1 to the Revolving Credit Agreement, which incorporates the entity owning Beverly Center as a guarantor and makes certain other definitional changes, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.3, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

The Company issued a press release on November 13, 2013 announcing the foregoing matters, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.03.      CREATION OF A DIRECT FINANCIAL OBLIGATION OR AN OBLIGATION UNDER AN OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENT OF A REGISTRANT.

The disclosure set forth in Item 1.01 above is hereby incorporated by reference.

THIS TERM LOAN AGREEMENT (the “ Agreement ”) is entered into as of November 12, 2013, among THE TAUBMAN REALTY GROUP LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited partnership, the LENDERS party hereto, and JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as Administrative Agent.
The parties hereto agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1

Definitions

SECTION 1.01. Defined Terms . As used in this Agreement, the following terms have the meanings specified below:

“ ABR ”, when used in reference to any Loan or Borrowing, refers to whether such Loan, or the Loans comprising such Borrowing, are bearing interest at a rate determined by reference to the Alternate Base Rate.
“ Acquisition Property ” means, as of any date of determination, any Property or any interest therein that has been acquired by the Borrower, its Consolidated Businesses or any UJV within the prior eighteen (18) months, unless the Borrower has owned or operated such Property for at least three (3) months and has made a one-time election (by written notice to the Administrative Agent) to no longer treat such Property as an Acquisition Property for purposes of this Agreement, in which case (x) clause (1) of the definition of Capitalization Value shall be used for such Property to determine Capitalization Value instead of clause (4) of such definition, determined by such Property’s contribution to Combined EBITDA, annualized based on Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s or UJV’s period of ownership or operation, and (y) clause (1) of the definition of Unencumbered Asset Value shall be used for such Property to determine Unencumbered Asset Value instead of clause (2) of such definition, determined by such Property’s contribution to Combined Property EBITDA, annualized based on Borrower’s or such Subsidiary Guarantor’s period of ownership or operation. For avoidance of doubt, and as an illustrative example, if the Borrower owns a 50% interest in a UJV and thereafter acquires the other 50% interest in such UJV from its partner, then the 50% interest that it acquired would constitute an Acquisition Property for purposes of this Agreement, subject to the other terms and conditions of this paragraph set forth above.
“ Adjusted LIBO Rate ” means, with respect to any Eurodollar Borrowing for any Interest Period, an interest rate per annum equal to (a) the LIBO Rate for such Interest Period multiplied by (b) the Statutory Reserve Rate.
“ Administrative Agent ” means JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders hereunder.
“ Administrative Questionnaire ” means an Administrative Questionnaire in a form supplied by the Administrative Agent.
“ Affiliate ” means, with respect to a specified Person, another Person that directly, or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, Controls or is Controlled by or is under common Control with the Person specified.

“ Alternate Base Rate ” means, for any day, a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (a) the Prime Rate in effect on such day, (b) the Federal Funds Effective Rate in effect on such day plus ½ of 1% and (c) the Adjusted LIBO Rate for a one month Interest Period on such day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day) plus 1%, provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, the Adjusted LIBO Rate for any day shall be based on the rate appearing on the Reuters Screen LIBOR 01 Page (or on any successor or substitute page of such page) at approximately 11:00 a.m. London time on such day. Any change in the Alternate Base Rate due to a change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate shall be effective from and including the effective date of such change in the Prime Rate, the Federal Funds Effective Rate or the Adjusted LIBO Rate, respectively.
“ Anchor Stores ” means, for any Property, those department stores located on such Property or on parcels contiguous to such Property and which are being operated as part of an integrated shopping center with such Property.
“ Applicable Percentage ” means, with respect to any Lender, the percentage of the total Loans represented by such Lender’s Loans.
“ Applicable Rate ” means, for any day, with respect to any ABR Loan or Eurodollar Loan, as the case may be, the applicable rate per annum set forth below under the caption “ABR Spread” or “Eurodollar Spread”, as the case may be, based upon the range into which the Total Leverage Ratio of the Borrower falls in the table below:

				
RATIO LEVEL	TOTAL LEVERAGE RATIO	ABR SPREAD	EURODOLLAR SPREAD	
Level I	< 45%	0.35%	1.35%	
Level II	>  45% AND < 50%	0.45%	1.45%	
Level III	>  50% AND < 55%	0.60%	1.60%	
Level IV	> 55%	0.90%	1.90%	

For purposes hereof, any increase or decrease in the Applicable Rate resulting from a change in the Total Leverage Ratio shall become effective as of the first Business Day immediately following the date a Financial Officer’s compliance certificate in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit E (the “ Compliance Certificate ”) is delivered in connection with Section 5.01(d); provided , however , that if a Compliance Certificate is not delivered when due in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, then the Applicable Rate shall be the percentage that would apply to the Level IV Ratio Level until such time as the Compliance Certificate is delivered, at which time the Applicable Rate shall be the percentage that would apply to the Level Ratio indicated in such Compliance Certificate.
Any adjustment in the Applicable Rate shall be applicable to all existing Loans.
If at any time the financial statements upon which the Applicable Rate was determined were incorrect (whether based on a restatement, fraud or otherwise), the Borrower shall be required to retroactively pay any additional amount that the Borrower would have been required to pay if such financial statements had been accurate at the time they were delivered.

Any recalculation of interest required by this provision shall survive the termination of the Agreement for a period of 90 days, and this provision shall not in any way limit the Administrative Agent’s and Lender’s other rights and remedies under the Loan Documents.
“ Approved Fund ” means any Person (other than a natural person) that is engaged in making, purchasing, holding or investing in bank loans and similar extensions of credit in the ordinary course of its business and that is administered or managed by (a) a Lender, (b) an Affiliate of a Lender or (c) an entity or an Affiliate of an entity that administers or manages a Lender.

“ Board ” means the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America.
“ Borrower ” means The Taubman Realty Group Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership.

“ Borrowing ” means Loans (or portions thereof) of the same Type, made, converted or continued on the same date and, in the case of Eurodollar Loans, as to which a single Interest Period is in effect; if any Loans (or portions thereof) are combined or subdivided pursuant to a conversion or continuation, “Borrowing” shall refer to the combined principal amount resulting from such

combination or to each of the principal amounts resulting from such subdivision, as the case may be.
“ Borrowing Request ” means a request by the Borrower for a Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.03.
“ Business Day ” means any day that is not a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York City are authorized or required by law to remain closed; provided that, when used in connection with a Eurodollar Loan, the term “ Business Day ” shall also exclude any day on which banks are not open for dealings in dollar deposits in the London interbank market.
“ Capital Lease Obligations ” of any Person means the obligations of such Person to pay rent or other amounts under any lease of (or other arrangement conveying the right to use) property, which obligations are required to be classified and accounted for as capital leases on a balance sheet of such Person under GAAP, and the amount of such obligations shall be the capitalized amount thereof determined in accordance with GAAP.
“ Capitalization Rate ” means (1) for the Eligible Unencumbered Assets on the Effective Date, the capitalization rate set forth on Schedule UA attached hereto opposite such Eligible Unencumbered Asset, which shall remain in effect for the term of this Agreement and (2) for any Property that becomes an Eligible Unencumbered Asset after the Effective Date, (A) 6.0% for any Property for which the average sales per square foot is equal to or greater than $800 per square foot in accordance with the methodology used by the Borrower to publicly report average sales per square foot for its Properties, (B) 6.5% for any Property for which the average sales per square foot is equal to or greater than $500 per square foot but less than $799 per square foot in accordance with the methodology used by the Borrower to publicly report average sales per square foot for its Properties, and (C) 7.5% for any other Property.
“ Capitalization Value ” means, at any time, the sum of (1) Combined EBITDA (excluding Properties described in clauses (3) and (4) below) for the twelve (12)-month period ending with the most recently ended calendar quarter, capitalized at an annual rate equal to 6.25%, (2) the Borrower’s beneficial share of unrestricted Cash and Cash Equivalents (i.e., Cash and Cash Equivalents that are not pledged or the use of which is not restricted by the terms of any document or agreement; for the avoidance of doubt, cash collateral pledged to support letters of credit shall not be considered unrestricted) of the Borrower and its Consolidated Businesses and UJVs, (3) without duplication, the Borrower’s beneficial share of the cost basis of all Development Properties of the Borrower and its Consolidated Businesses and UJVs and (4) without duplication, the Borrower’s beneficial share of the book value (after impairments) of all Acquisition Properties of the Borrower, and its Consolidated Businesses and UJVs. For the purposes of this definition, in no event shall (x) Development Properties contribute in excess of 20% to Capitalization Value or (y) leasing commissions payable by third parties and/or management and development fees contribute in excess of 3% to Capitalization Value. For avoidance of doubt, and as an illustrative example, if the Borrower owns a 50% interest in a UJV and thereafter acquires the other 50% interest in such UJV from its partner, then, the Borrower’s 50% interest in the UJV that it acquired from its Partner will be considered an Acquisition Property for purposes of determining Capitalization Value.

In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation or (ii) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to ABR Loans (it being intended that the Borrower shall only be obligated to pay such interest to the Administrative Agent (except that Section 2.13(c) shall apply if an Event of Default exists) and shall not be obligated to pay interest to any Lender that has failed to fund its share of the applicable Borrowing). If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

SECTION 2.08. Interest Elections . (a) Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request. Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Eurodollar Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section. The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Lenders holding the Loans comprising such Borrowing, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(b)    To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of such election by telephone or e-mail by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 2.03 if the Borrower were requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Interest Election Request shall be irrevocable and, in the case of a telephonic Interest Election Request, shall be confirmed promptly by hand delivery, email or telecopy to the Administrative Agent of a written Interest Election Request in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F or as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

(c)    Each Interest Election Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 2.02:

(i)    the Borrowing to which such Interest Election Request applies and, if different options are being elected with respect to different portions thereof, the portions thereof to be allocated to each resulting Borrowing (in which case the information to be specified pursuant to clauses (iii) and (iv) below shall be specified for each resulting Borrowing);

(ii)    the effective date of the election made pursuant to such Interest Election Request, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii)    whether the resulting Borrowing is to be an ABR Borrowing or a Eurodollar Borrowing; and

(iv)    if the resulting Borrowing is a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Interest Period to be applicable thereto after giving effect to such election, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “ Interest Period ”.

If any such Interest Election Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.
(d)    Promptly following receipt of an Interest Election Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.
(e)    If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Interest Election Request with respect to a Eurodollar Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing with an Interest Period of one month. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent, at the request of the Required Lenders, so notifies the Borrower, then, so long as an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Eurodollar Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Eurodollar Borrowing shall be converted to an ABR Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

SECTION 2.09. Reserved.

SECTION 2.10. Repayment of Loans; Evidence of Debt . (a) If not previously repaid, the Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender the then unpaid principal amount of each Loan on the Maturity Date.

(b)    Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan made by such Lender, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder.

(c)    The Administrative Agent shall maintain accounts in which it shall record (i) the amount of each Loan made hereunder, the Type thereof and the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable

from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder and (iii) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders and each Lender’s share thereof.

(d)    The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to paragraph (b) or (c) of this Section shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(e)    Any Lender may request that Loans made by it be evidenced by a promissory note, in the same form as the promissory note(s) delivered at on the Effective Date. In such event, the Borrower shall prepare, execute and deliver to such Lender a promissory note payable to the order of such Lender (or, if requested by such Lender, to such Lender and its registered assigns). Thereafter, the Loans evidenced by such promissory note and interest thereon shall at all times (including after assignment pursuant to Section 9.04) be represented by one or more promissory notes in such form payable to the order of the payee named therein (or, if such promissory note is a registered note, to such payee and its registered assigns).

SECTION 2.11. Prepayment of Loans . (a) The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay, without premium or penalty (but subject to Section 2.16), any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to prior notice in accordance with paragraph (b) of this Section.
(b)    The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent by telephone (confirmed by telecopy) or e-mail of any prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of prepayment of a Eurodollar Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m., New York City time, two Business Days before the date of prepayment or (ii) in the case of prepayment of an ABR Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, one Business Day before the date of prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be prepaid; provided that a notice of prepayment delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice may be provided by e-mail, on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the contents thereof. Each partial prepayment of any Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $1,000,000 and not less than $1,000,000. Each prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the prepaid Borrowing. Prepayments shall be accompanied by accrued interest to the extent required by Section 2.13. Any Borrowing that is prepaid may not be reborrowed.

SECTION 2.12. Fees . (a) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

(b)    All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent for distribution, in the case of participation fees, to the Lenders. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.13. Interest . (a) The Loans comprising each ABR Borrowing shall bear interest at the Alternate Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate.

(b)    The Loans comprising each Eurodollar Borrowing shall bear interest at the Adjusted LIBO Rate for the Interest Period in effect for such Borrowing plus the Applicable Rate.

(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the outstanding principal amount of all Obligations shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate otherwise applicable to such Loan as provided in the preceding paragraphs of this Section and (ii) if any interest on any Loan or any fee or other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder is not paid when due, whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise, such overdue amount shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at a rate per annum equal to 2% plus the rate applicable to ABR Loans as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

(d)    Accrued interest on each Loan shall be payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date for such Loan; provided that (i) interest accrued pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section shall be payable on demand, (ii) in the event of any repayment or prepayment of any Loan, accrued interest on the principal amount repaid or prepaid shall be payable on the date of such repayment or prepayment and (iii) in the event of any conversion of any Eurodollar Loan prior to the end of the current Interest Period therefor, accrued interest on such Loan shall be payable on the effective date of such conversion.

(e)    All interest hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except that interest computed by reference to the Alternate Base Rate at times when the Alternate Base Rate is based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap year), and in each case shall be payable for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). The applicable Alternate Base Rate, Adjusted LIBO Rate or LIBO Rate shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, and such determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.14 Alternate Rate of Interest . If prior to the commencement of any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Borrowing, the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive absent manifest error) that adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the Adjusted LIBO Rate or the LIBO Rate, as applicable, for such Interest Period, then the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders by telephone or telecopy as promptly as practicable thereafter and, until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, (i) any Interest Election Request that requests the conversion of any Borrowing to, or continuation of any Borrowing as, a Eurodollar Borrowing shall be ineffective and (ii) if any Borrowing Request requests a Eurodollar Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be made as an ABR Borrowing.

SECTION 2.15. Increased Costs . (a) If any Change in Law shall:

(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement (including any compulsory loan requirement, insurance charge or other assessment) against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (except any such reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBO Rate);

(ii)    impose on any 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 participation therein; or

(iii)    subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes, and other than the imposition of or changes in the rate of Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making or maintaining any Eurodollar Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan) or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise), then the Borrower will pay to such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such other Recipient, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)    If any Lender determines that any Change in Law regarding capital or liquidity requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.

(c)    A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

(d)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to this Section for any increased costs or reductions incurred more than 180 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor; provided further that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 180-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof.

(e)    A Lender shall not be entitled to any compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.15 to the extent such Lender is not imposing such charges or requesting such compensation from borrowers that are subject to similar provisions.

SECTION 2.16. Break Funding Payments . In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including

as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Eurodollar Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice may be revoked under Section 2.11(b) and is revoked in accordance therewith) or (d) the assignment of any Eurodollar Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.19, then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event. In the case of a Eurodollar Loan, such loss, cost or expense to any Lender shall be deemed to include an amount determined by such Lender to be the excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan had such event not occurred, at the Adjusted LIBO Rate that would have been applicable to such Loan, for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan), over (ii) the amount of interest which would accrue on such principal amount for such period at the interest rate which such Lender would bid were it to bid, at the commencement of such period, for dollar deposits of a comparable amount and period from other banks in the eurodollar market. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

SECTION 2.17. Payments Free of Taxes . (a) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable withholding agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a withholding agent, then the applicable withholding agent 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 and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.17) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(b)     Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower . The Loan Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for, Other Taxes.

(c)     Evidence of Payments . As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 2.17, such Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(d)     Indemnification by the Borrower . The Borrower shall indemnify each Recipient, within 10 Business 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 Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(e)     Indemnification by the Lenders . Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 9.04(c) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (e).

(f)     Status of Lenders . (i) 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 Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.

(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person,

(A) any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. Federal backup withholding Tax;

(B) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:

(1) 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;

(2) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;

(3) 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 C-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

(4) 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 C-2 or Exhibit C‑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 C-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), 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 Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

(D) if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. Federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such

Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “ FATCA ” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g)     Treatment of Certain Refunds . 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 Section 2.17 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.17), 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 2.17 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 (g) (plus any interest 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 (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) 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.

(h)     Survival . Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.17 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(i)     Defined Terms . For purposes of this Section 2.17, the term “ applicable law ” includes FATCA.

SECTION 2.18. Payments Generally; Pro Rata Treatment; Sharing of Set-offs . (a) The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest, or fees, or of amounts payable under Section 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 or 9.03, or otherwise) prior to 2:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set off or counterclaim. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be made to the Administrative Agent at its offices at 10 South Dearborn, Chicago, Illinois, except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.15, 2.17 and 9.03 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day, and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in dollars.

(b)    If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, towards payment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to such parties, and (ii) second, towards payment of principal then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal then due to such parties.

(c)    If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of set off or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon than the proportion received by any other Lender, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans of other Lenders to the extent necessary so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and accrued interest on their respective Loans; provided that (i) if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and (ii) the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any Subsidiary or Affiliate thereof (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply). The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of set-off and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(d)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed

to such Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

(e)    If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Sections 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, apply any amounts thereafter received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender to satisfy such Lender’s obligations under such Sections until all such unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold such amounts in a segregated account over which the Administrative Agent shall have exclusive control as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Lender under any such Section, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the Administrative Agent in its discretion.

SECTION 2.19.     Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders . (a) If any Lender requests compensation under Section 2.15, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 2.17, then such Lender shall promptly use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Sections 2.15 or 2.17, as the case may be, in the future and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.

the terms of this Agreement, and (iii) if the Administrative Agent is the holder of such Refinancing Mortgage, subject to being unconditionally released or assigned by the Administrative Agent at the request of the Borrower without the need for any consent or approval of the Lenders (it being understood and agreed that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be required to give any representations and warranties with respect to any such release or assignment, including with respect to any aspects of the Indebtedness secured thereby, except that it is the holder thereof and authorized to execute and deliver the same). In addition, in connection with each Refinancing Mortgage, the Administrative Agent and from time to time thereafter at the request and expense of Borrower, will provide subordination, non-disturbance and attornment agreements if it is the holder of such Refinancing Mortgage. Unless otherwise directed by Borrower, any prepayments made by the Borrower shall be applied first to any and all Loans outstanding that are not secured by a Refinancing Mortgage, and only to Loans secured by Refinancing Mortgages if there shall be no other Loans outstanding at the time. Any property subject to a Refinancing Mortgage shall be and remain eligible for treatment as an Eligible Unencumbered Asset, and any note secured by a Refinancing Mortgage shall be treated as Total Unsecured Indebtedness.
SECTION 5.09. Accuracy Of Information . The Borrower will ensure that any information prepared by Borrower, including financial statements, furnished to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with this Agreement or any amendment or modification hereof or waiver hereunder does not knowingly contain any material misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and the furnishing of such information shall be deemed to be representation and warranty by the Borrower on the date thereof as to the matters specified in this Section 5.09.

The Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent written notice not less than five (5) Business Days prior to a sale, encumbrance with a Lien to secure Indebtedness or other Disposition of an Eligible Unencumbered Asset which is permitted pursuant to Section 6.04. In addition, simultaneously with delivery of any such notice, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent (A) a certificate of a Financial Officer certifying that no Default or Event of Default (including any non-compliance with the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.11 hereof) has occurred and is continuing or would occur on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the proposed Disposition, which certificate shall include calculations in reasonable detail demonstrating compliance with Section 6.11 hereof on a pro-forma basis, including as to the calculation of Unencumbered Asset Value and (B) an updated schedule of all Eligible Unencumbered Assets.

If a Default or Event of Default exists at the time of such transaction, the Borrower shall apply the net proceeds of such transaction (together with such additional amounts as may be required), to prepay the Obligations in an amount, as determined by the Administrative Agent, equal to that which would be required to reduce the Obligations so that no Default or Event of Default would exist.
If such Disposition is permitted hereunder and a Property shall cease to be an Eligible Unencumbered Asset upon the consummation of such transaction, the Administrative Agent shall, at the Borrower’s request and expense, release the guarantee obligations under the Guaranty of any Subsidiary Guarantor which owns such Property that ceases to be an Eligible Unencumbered Asset,

including execution and delivery of a release in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, without the need for any consent or approval of the Lenders.
SECTION 5.11. Additional Guarantors . If any Subsidiary becomes the owner or ground-lessee of a Property that has been designated by the Borrower as an Eligible Unencumbered Asset after the Effective Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent each of the following items, each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent: (i) a Guaranty executed by such Subsidiary and (ii) the items that would have been delivered under Sections 4.01(b) and (c) if such Subsidiary had been a Subsidiary Guarantor on the Effective Date.

The Administrative Agent

Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent as its agent and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
The bank serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and such bank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if it were not the Administrative Agent hereunder.
The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, (a) the Administrative Agent shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing, (b) the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise in writing as directed by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02), and (c) except as expressly set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries that is communicated to or obtained by the bank serving as Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary under the circumstances as provided in Section 9.02) or in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until written notice thereof is given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower or a Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document,

or (v) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to be made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
The Administrative Agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all its duties and exercise its rights and powers through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of the preceding paragraphs shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided in this paragraph, (a) the Administrative Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Lenders and the Borrower and (b) the Required Lenders may by written notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower remove the Administrative Agent for its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right, with the written consent of the Borrower so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation or is removed, then the retiring or removed Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent which shall be a bank with an office in New York, New York, or an Affiliate of any such bank, or a Lender. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this Article and Section 9.03 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while it was acting as Administrative Agent.
Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that the extensions of credit made hereunder are commercial loans and not investments in a business enterprise or securities. Each Lender further represents that it is engaged in making, acquiring or holding commercial loans in the ordinary course of its business and has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement as a Lender, and to make, acquire or hold Loans hereunder. Each Lender shall, independently and without reliance upon the

Administrative Agent or any other Lender and based on such documents and information (which may contain material, non-public information within the meaning of the United States securities laws concerning the Borrower and its Affiliates) as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder and in deciding whether or to the extent to which it will continue as a lender or assign or otherwise transfer its rights, interests and obligations hereunder.

The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies that they would otherwise have. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be permitted by paragraph (b) of this Section, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the making of a Loan shall not be construed as a waiver of any Default, regardless of whether the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of such Default at the time.

(b)    Neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be waived, amended or modified except pursuant to an agreement or agreements in writing entered into by the Borrower and the Required Lenders or by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with the consent of the Required Lenders; provided that no such agreement shall (i) increase the Commitment of any Lender without the written consent of such Lender, (ii) reduce the principal amount of any Loan or reduce the rate of interest thereon, or reduce any fees payable hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iii) postpone the scheduled date of payment of the principal amount of any Loan, or any interest thereon, or any fees payable hereunder, or reduce the amount of, waive or excuse any such payment, or postpone the Maturity Date, without the written consent of each Lender affected thereby, (iv) change Section 2.18(b) or (c) in a manner that would alter the pro rata sharing of payments required thereby, without the written consent of each Lender, or (v) change any of the provisions of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, without the written consent of each Lender, or (vi) release any Subsidiary Guarantor (except as provided in Section 5.10 or Section 6.04), without the written consent of each Lender; provided further that no such agreement shall amend, modify or otherwise affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 9.03. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver . (a) The Borrower shall pay (i) all reasonable third-party out of pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and J.P.

hereunder, including all such third‑party out-of pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in respect of such Loans.

(b)    The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender, and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “ Indemnitee ”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related expenses, including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of any external counsel for any Indemnitee, to the extent incurred by or asserted against any Indemnitee arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the Transactions or any other transactions contemplated hereby, (ii) any Loan or the use of the proceeds therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee's obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Indemnitee shall give the Borrower at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of the proposed settlement of any claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding for which the Borrower is liable for indemnification under this Section 9.03(b). This Section 9.03(b) shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.

(c)    To the extent that the Borrower fails to pay any amount required to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent under paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Applicable Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount; provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent.

(d)    To the extent permitted by applicable law, no party hereto shall assert, and each such party hereby waives, any claim against any other party, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the Transactions, any Loan or the use of the proceeds thereof; provided that, nothing in this clause (d) shall relieve the Borrower of any obligation it may have to indemnify an Indemnitee against special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages asserted against such Indemnitee by a third party

(e)    All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than five (5) Business Days after written demand therefor.

SECTION 9.04. Successors and Assigns . (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby except that (i) the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Lender (and any attempted assignment or transfer by the Borrower without such consent shall be null and void) and (ii) no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder except in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants (to the extent provided in paragraph (c) of this Section) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b)    (i) Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b)(ii) below, any Lender may assign to one or more Persons which is an Eligible Assignee (other than an Ineligible Institution) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of:

(A)    the Borrower, provided that, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to an assignment unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof, which notice shall indicate the reason that such assignee is an Eligible Assignee and whether such assignee has delivered the certificate described in Section 2.17(f)(ii) to the effect that such assignee is exempt from U.S. withholding tax; provided further that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for an assignment to a Lender with a Commitment or outstanding Loans immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment or, if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, any other assignee; and provided further that the Borrower shall not be deemed to have unreasonably withheld its consent to an assignment if the proposed assignee is unable to deliver the certificate described in Section 2.17(f)(ii) to the effect that such assignee is exempt from U.S. federal withholding tax; and

(B)    the Administrative Agent; provided that no consent of the Administrative Agent shall be required for an assignment to a Lender with a Commitment or outstanding Loans immediately prior to giving effect to such assignment.

(ii)    Assignments shall be subject to the following additional conditions:

(A)    except in the case of an assignment to a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment or Loans, the amount of the Commitment or Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent) shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent otherwise consent,

provided that no such consent of the Borrower shall be required if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing;

(B)    each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement;

(C)    the parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; and

(iii)    Subject to acceptance and recording thereof pursuant to paragraph (b)(iv) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 for periods while it was a Lender). Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this Section 9.04 shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (c) of this Section.

(iv)    The Administrative Agent, acting for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at one of its offices a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amount (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “ Register ”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(v)    Upon its receipt of a duly completed Assignment and Assumption executed by an assigning Lender and an assignee, the assignee’s completed

Administrative Questionnaire (unless the assignee shall already be a Lender hereunder), the processing and recordation fee referred to in paragraph (b) of this Section and any written consent to such assignment required by paragraph (b) of this Section, the Administrative Agent shall accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information contained therein in the Register; provided that if either the assigning Lender or the assignee shall have failed to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to Section 2.07(b), 2.18(d) or 9.03(c), the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to accept such Assignment and Assumption and record the information therein in the Register unless and until such payment shall have been made in full, together with all accrued interest thereon. No assignment shall be effective for purposes of this Agreement unless it has been recorded in the Register as provided in this paragraph.

(c)    Any Lender may, without the consent of the Administrative Agent but with the prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) of the Borrower ( provided that, the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to participation unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received written notice thereof, which notice shall indicate the reason that such participant is not an Ineligible Institution and whether such participant has delivered the certificate described in Section 2.17(f)(ii) to the effect that such participant is exempt from U.S. withholding tax; and provided further that no consent of the Borrower shall be required for a participation if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; and provided further that the Borrower shall not be deemed to have unreasonably withheld its consent to a participation if the proposed participant is unable to deliver the certificate described in Section 2.17(f)(ii) to the effect that such participant is exempt from U.S. federal withholding tax), sell participations to one or more banks or other entities (a “ Participant ”), other than an Ineligible Institution, in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans owing to it); provided that (A) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged; (B) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations; and (C) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver described in the first proviso to Section 9.02(b) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.15, 2.16 and 2.17 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.17(f) and 2.17(h) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.17(f) and 2.17(h) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 2.19 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.15 or 2.17, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 2.19(b) with respect to any Participant. To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 9.08 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.18(c) as though it were a

Lender. Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “ Participant Register ”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any Commitments, Loans or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.

(d)    Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such pledge or assignment of a security interest; provided that no such pledge or assignment of a security interest shall release a Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

SECTION 9.05. Survival . All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Borrower herein and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in connection with or pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to have been relied upon by the other parties hereto and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any Loans, regardless of any investigation made by any such other party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default or incorrect representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the principal of or any accrued interest on any Loan or any fee or any other amount payable under this Agreement is outstanding and unpaid or any Commitment remains outstanding. The provisions of Sections 2.15, 2.16, 2.17 and 9.03 and Article VIII shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Commitments or the termination of this Agreement or any provision hereof.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto on different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This Agreement and any separate letter agreements with respect to fees payable to the Administrative Agent constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof which, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.

image of the actual executed signature page shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.08. Right of Setoff . If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of its Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other obligations at any time owing by such Lender or Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any of and all the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement held by such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement and although such obligations may be unmatured. The rights of each Lender under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) which such Lender may have.

In addition to making all of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower with respect to each Guarantor in the Loan Agreement, each Guarantor represents and warrants that: (a) this Guaranty: (i) has been authorized by all necessary limited partnership or limited liability company action of such Guarantor; (ii) (A) does not conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any agreement or other instrument to which any Guarantor is a party; and (B) does not violate any applicable law applicable to such Guarantor; (iii) does not require approval from any Governmental Authority relating to any Guarantor; and (iv) is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms except to the extent that enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting creditor’s rights generally and the availability of equitable remedies for the enforcement of certain obligations (other than the payment of principal) contained herein or therein may be limited by equitable principles generally; and (b) in executing and delivering this Guaranty, such Guarantor has (i) without reliance on the Credit Parties or any information received from the Credit Parties and based upon such documents and information it deems appropriate, made an independent investigation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the Borrower, the Borrower’s business, assets, operations, prospects and condition, financial or otherwise, and any circumstances which may bear upon such transactions, the Borrower or the obligations and risks undertaken herein with respect to the Guarantied Obligations; (ii) adequate means to obtain from the Borrower on a continuing basis information concerning the Borrower; (iii) has full and complete access to the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and (iv) not relied and will not rely upon any representations or warranties of the Credit Parties not embodied herein or any acts heretofore or hereafter taken by the Credit Parties (including but not limited to any review by the Credit Parties of the affairs of the Borrower). All representations and warranties made under this Guaranty shall be deemed to be made at and as of the date of this Guaranty, the Effective Date and the date of the occurrence of the making of any Loan, except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and accurate on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances specifically permitted hereunder or under the Loan Agreement.
Section 6.      Covenants . Each Guarantor will perform and comply with all covenants applicable to such Guarantor, or which the Borrower is required to cause such Guarantor to comply with under the terms of the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents as if the same were more fully set forth herein.
Section 7.      Waiver . Each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waives, other than as expressly required hereunder or under the Loan Agreement, notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to any extent might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder. The Guarantor also waives the right to require the Agent to proceed first against the Borrower upon the Guarantied Obligations before proceeding against the Guarantor hereunder.
Section 8.      Reinstatement of Guarantied Obligations . If a claim is ever made on a Credit Party for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, and such Credit Party repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such Credit Party with any such

claimant (including the Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy for the Borrower), then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof, any release herefrom (except for a release in connection with the sale or mortgage of an Eligible Unencumbered Asset of such Guarantor), or the cancellation of the Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the Credit Parties for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to such Credit Party.
Section 9.      Avoidance .      Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions, each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, hereby confirm that the parties intend that this Guaranty not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law (as defined below), the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal, state or foreign law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty. In furtherance of that intention, the liabilities of each Guarantor under this Guaranty (the “Liabilities”) shall be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other person with respect to the Liabilities, result in the Liabilities of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. For purposes hereof, “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar federal, state or foreign law for the relief of debtors. This paragraph with respect to the maximum liability of each Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Guarantor nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this paragraph with respect to such maximum liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Guarantor agrees that the Guarantied Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the maximum liability of such Guarantor without impairing this Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Agent on behalf of the Credit Parties, hereunder, provided that , nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Guarantor's obligations hereunder beyond its maximum liability.

Section 10.      No Contest with Credit Parties; Subordination . So long as any Guarantied Obligation remains unpaid or undischarged, no Guarantor will, by paying any sum recoverable hereunder (whether or not demanded by any Credit Party) or by any means or on any other ground, claim any set-off or counterclaim against the Borrower in respect of any liability of any Guarantor to the Borrower or, in proceedings under federal bankruptcy law or insolvency proceedings of any nature, prove in competition with any Credit Party in respect of any payment hereunder or be entitled to have the benefit of any counterclaim or proof of claim or dividend or payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or the benefit of any other security for any obligation hereby guaranteed which, now or hereafter, any Credit Party may hold or in which it may have any share. For so long as the Obligations remain outstanding, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives any right of contribution from or indemnity against the Borrower, whether at law or in equity, arising from any payments made by such Guarantor pursuant to the terms of this Guaranty, and each Guarantor acknowledges that such Guarantor has no right whatsoever to proceed against the Borrower for reimbursement of any such payments. For so long as the Obligations remain outstanding, in connection with the foregoing, each Guarantor expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation to the Credit Parties against the Borrower, and each Guarantor hereby waives any rights to enforce any remedy which

a Credit Party may have against the Borrower and any rights to participate in any collateral for the Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness of the Borrower now or hereafter owed to such Guarantor to all indebtedness of the Borrower to the Credit Parties, and agrees with the Credit Parties that (a) such Guarantor shall not demand or accept any payment from the Borrower on account of such indebtedness, (b) such Guarantor shall not claim any offset or other reduction of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness, and (c) such Guarantor shall not take any action to obtain any interest in any of the security described in and encumbered by the Loan Documents because of any such indebtedness; provided , however , that, if a Credit Party so requests, such indebtedness shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Credit Parties and be paid over to the Credit Parties on account of the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Credit Parties, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty except to the extent the principal amount of such outstanding indebtedness shall have been reduced by such payment.
Section 11.      Payments Free and Clear . All sums payable by each Guarantor hereunder, whether of principal, interest, fees, expenses, premiums or otherwise, shall be paid in full, without set-off or counterclaim. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Guarantor hereunder shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes except as provided in Section 2.17 of the Loan Agreement.
Section 12.      Set-off . In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any of the other Loan Documents or applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Guarantor hereby authorizes the Credit Parties, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Credit Party or any affiliate of such Credit Party, to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor held at any of the offices of the Agent or J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, against and on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees to notify the applicable Guarantor of any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided , however , that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
Section 13.      Business Failure, Bankruptcy or Insolvency . In the event of the business failure of any Guarantor or if there shall be pending any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding with respect to any Guarantor under federal bankruptcy law or any other applicable law or in connection with the insolvency of any Guarantor, or if a liquidator, receiver, or trustee shall have been appointed for any Guarantor or any Guarantor’s properties or assets, the Credit Parties may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of such Person allowed in any proceedings relative to such Guarantor, or any of such Guarantor’s properties or assets, and, irrespective of whether the indebtedness or other obligations of the Borrower guaranteed hereby shall then be due and payable, by declaration or otherwise, the Credit Parties shall be entitled and empowered to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of any sums or sums owing with respect to the indebtedness or other obligations of the Borrower guaranteed hereby, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that upon the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding by or against the Borrower, such Guarantor shall not seek a supplemental stay or otherwise pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §105 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory,

common law, case law, or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of the Credit Parties to enforce any rights of such Person against such Guarantor by virtue of this Guaranty or otherwise. If a Credit Party is prevented under applicable law or otherwise from demanding or accelerating payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise, the Credit Parties shall be entitled to receive from each Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred.
Section 14.      ADDITIONAL GUARANTORS; RELEASE OF GUARANTORS. SECTION 5.11 OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT PROVIDES THAT CERTAIN SUBSIDIARIES MUST BECOME GUARANTORS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, EXECUTING AND DELIVERING TO AGENT A COPY OF THIS GUARANTY. ANY SUBSIDIARY WHICH EXECUTES AND DELIVERS TO THE AGENT THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE A GUARANTOR FOR ALL PURPOSES HEREUNDER.

EACH OTHER GUARANTOR CONSENTS AND AGREES TO ANY SUCH RELEASE AND AGREES THAT NO SUCH RELEASE SHALL AFFECT ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER.
Section 15.      Information . Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and the other Guarantors, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that none of the Credit Parties shall have any duty whatsoever to advise any Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances or risks.
Section 16. GOVERNING LAW . TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM TO ASSERT THAT THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION GOVERNS THIS GUARANTY.

Section 17.      WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL; ETC .
(a)      EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE AGENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT PARTY WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE CREDIT PARTIES AND EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE AGENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT PARTY OF ANY KIND OR NATURE. TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY GUARANTOR

HAS OR HEREAFTER MAY ACQUIRE ANY IMMUNITY FROM JURISDICTION OF ANY COURT OR FROM ANY LEGAL PROCESS (WHETHER FROM SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN AID OF EXECUTION OF A JUDGMENT, EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE), SUCH GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS GUARANTY.

(b)      EACH OF THE GUARANTORS, THE AGENT AND EACH OTHER CREDIT PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK AND THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK, AND APPELLATE COURTS FROM ANY THEREOF TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE AGENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT PARTY, PERTAINING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOANS, THE LETTERS OF CREDIT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING HEREFROM OR THEREFROM. EACH GUARANTOR AND EACH CREDIT PARTY EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE AGENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT PARTY OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE AGENT OR ANY OTHER CREDIT PARTY OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

(c)      THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTY.

The failure of a Credit Party to maintain such books and accounts shall not in any way relieve or discharge any Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder.
Section 19.      Waiver of Remedies . No delay or failure on the part of a Credit Party in the exercise of any right or remedy it may have against any Guarantor hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by a Credit Party of any such right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right or remedy.

WHEREAS, Borrower is the owner, directly or indirectly, of 100% of the issued and outstanding Equity Interests in each Guarantor;
WHEREAS, the Borrower and each of the Guarantors, though separate legal entities, are mutually dependent upon each other in the conduct of their respective businesses as an integrated operation and have determined it to be in their mutual best interests to obtain financing from the Credit Parties through their collective efforts;
WHEREAS, each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the Credit Parties making such financial accommodations available to the Borrower under the Loan Agreement and, accordingly, each Guarantor is willing to guarantee the Borrower’s obligations to the Credit Parties on the terms and conditions contained herein; and

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each Guarantor, each Guarantor agrees as follows:
Section 1.      Guaranty . Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranties the due and punctual payment and performance when due and payable, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all of the following (collectively referred to as the “Guarantied Obligations”): (a) all Obligations, and liabilities of whatever nature, whether now existing or hereafter incurred, owing by the Borrower to any Credit Party under or in connection with the Loan Agreement and any other Loan Document, including without limitation, the repayment of all principal of the Loans, and the payment of all interest, including, without limitation, interest accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar laws of any jurisdiction at the rate or rates provided in the loan documents, fees, charges, expenses, indemnification, attorneys’ fees and other amounts payable to any Credit Party thereunder or in connection therewith whether created directly or acquired by the Credit Parties by assignment or otherwise, whether matured or unmatured and whether absolute or contingent; (b) any and all extensions, renewals, modifications, amendments or substitutions of the foregoing; (c) all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that are incurred by the Credit Parties in the enforcement of any of the foregoing or any obligation of such Guarantor hereunder; and (d) all other Obligations.

(d)      any settlement or compromise of any of the Guarantied Obligations, any security therefor, or any liability of any other party with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, or any subordination of the payment of the Guarantied Obligations to the payment of any other liability of the Borrower or any other obligor;
(e)      any act or failure to act by the Borrower, any other obligor or any other Person which may adversely affect such Guarantor’s subrogation rights, if any, against the Borrower to recover payments made under this Guaranty;

(g)      any application of sums paid by the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person with respect to the liabilities of the Credit Parties, regardless of what liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid;

(o)      any failure or delay of a Credit Party to commence an action against the Borrower or any other Person, to assert or enforce any remedies against the Borrower under the Notes or the Loan Documents, or to realize upon any security;

Section 5.      Representations and Warranties . Each Guarantor hereby makes to the Credit Parties all of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower expressly with respect to such Guarantor in the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as if the same were set forth herein in full. In addition to making all of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower with respect to each Guarantor in the Loan Agreement, each Guarantor represents and warrants that: (a) this Guaranty: (i) has been authorized by all necessary limited partnership or limited liability company action of such Guarantor; (ii) (A) does not conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default under, any agreement or other instrument to which any Guarantor is a party; and (B) does not violate any applicable law applicable to such Guarantor; (iii) does not require approval from any Governmental Authority relating to any Guarantor; and (iv) is the legal, valid and binding obligation of such Guarantor enforceable against such Guarantor in accordance with its terms except to the extent that enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting creditor’s rights generally and the availability of equitable remedies for the enforcement of certain obligations (other than the payment of principal) contained herein or therein may be limited by equitable principles generally; and (b) in executing and delivering this Guaranty, such Guarantor has (i) without reliance on the Credit Parties or any information received from the Credit Parties and based upon such documents and information it deems appropriate, made an independent investigation of the transactions contemplated hereby and the Borrower, the Borrower’s business, assets, operations, prospects and condition, financial or otherwise, and any circumstances which may bear upon such transactions, the Borrower or the obligations and risks undertaken herein with respect to the Guarantied Obligations; (ii) adequate means to obtain from the Borrower on a continuing basis information concerning the Borrower; (iii) has full and complete access to the Loan Agreement and the other Loan Documents; and (iv) not relied and will not rely

upon any representations or warranties of the Credit Parties not embodied herein or any acts heretofore or hereafter taken by the Credit Parties (including but not limited to any review by the Credit Parties of the affairs of the Borrower). All representations and warranties made under this Guaranty shall be deemed to be made at and as of the date of this Guaranty, the Effective Date and the date of the occurrence of the making of any Loan, except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and accurate on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances specifically permitted hereunder or under the Loan Agreement.
Section 6.      Covenants . Each Guarantor will perform and comply with all covenants applicable to such Guarantor, or which the Borrower is required to cause such Guarantor to comply with under the terms of the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents as if the same were more fully set forth herein.
Section 7.      Waiver . Each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, hereby waives, other than as expressly required hereunder or under the Loan Agreement, notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to any extent might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder. The Guarantor also waives the right to require the Agent to proceed first against the Borrower upon the Guarantied Obligations before proceeding against the Guarantor hereunder.
Section 8.      Reinstatement of Guarantied Obligations . If a claim is ever made on a Credit Party for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, and such Credit Party repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such Credit Party with any such claimant (including the Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy for the Borrower), then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof, any release herefrom (except for a release in connection with the sale or mortgage of an Eligible Unencumbered Asset of such Guarantor), or the cancellation of the Loan Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the Credit Parties for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to such Credit Party.
Section 9.      Avoidance .      Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions, each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, hereby confirm that the parties intend that this Guaranty not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Law (as defined below), the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar federal, state or foreign law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty. In furtherance of that intention, the liabilities of each Guarantor under this Guaranty (the “Liabilities”) shall be limited to the maximum amount that will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other person with respect to the Liabilities, result in the Liabilities of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance. For purposes hereof, “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11, U.S. Code, or any similar federal, state or foreign law for the relief of debtors. This paragraph with respect to the maximum liability of each Guarantor is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Agent, for the benefit of the Credit Parties, to the maximum extent not subject to avoidance under applicable law, and no Guarantor nor any other person or entity shall have any right or claim under this paragraph with respect to

such maximum liability, except to the extent necessary so that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be rendered voidable under applicable law. Each Guarantor agrees that the Guarantied Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the maximum liability of such Guarantor without impairing this Guaranty or affecting the rights and remedies of the Agent on behalf of the Credit Parties, hereunder, provided that , nothing in this sentence shall be construed to increase any Guarantor's obligations hereunder beyond its maximum liability.

Section 10.      No Contest with Credit Parties; Subordination . So long as any Guarantied Obligation remains unpaid or undischarged, no Guarantor will, by paying any sum recoverable hereunder (whether or not demanded by any Credit Party) or by any means or on any other ground, claim any set-off or counterclaim against the Borrower in respect of any liability of any Guarantor to the Borrower or, in proceedings under federal bankruptcy law or insolvency proceedings of any nature, prove in competition with any Credit Party in respect of any payment hereunder or be entitled to have the benefit of any counterclaim or proof of claim or dividend or payment by or on behalf of the Borrower or the benefit of any other security for any obligation hereby guaranteed which, now or hereafter, any Credit Party may hold or in which it may have any share. For so long as the Obligations remain outstanding, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives any right of contribution from or indemnity against the Borrower, whether at law or in equity, arising from any payments made by such Guarantor pursuant to the terms of this Guaranty, and each Guarantor acknowledges that such Guarantor has no right whatsoever to proceed against the Borrower for reimbursement of any such payments. For so long as the Obligations remain outstanding, in connection with the foregoing, each Guarantor expressly waives any and all rights of subrogation to the Credit Parties against the Borrower, and each Guarantor hereby waives any rights to enforce any remedy which a Credit Party may have against the Borrower and any rights to participate in any collateral for the Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness of the Borrower now or hereafter owed to such Guarantor to all indebtedness of the Borrower to the Credit Parties, and agrees with the Credit Parties that (a) such Guarantor shall not demand or accept any payment from the Borrower on account of such indebtedness, (b) such Guarantor shall not claim any offset or other reduction of such Guarantor’s obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness, and (c) such Guarantor shall not take any action to obtain any interest in any of the security described in and encumbered by the Loan Documents because of any such indebtedness; provided , however , that, if a Credit Party so requests, such indebtedness shall be collected, enforced and received by such Guarantor as trustee for the Credit Parties and be paid over to the Credit Parties on account of the indebtedness of the Borrower to the Credit Parties, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty except to the extent the principal amount of such outstanding indebtedness shall have been reduced by such payment.
Section 11.      Payments Free and Clear . All sums payable by each Guarantor hereunder, whether of principal, interest, fees, expenses, premiums or otherwise, shall be paid in full, without set-off or counterclaim. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Guarantor hereunder shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes except as provided in Section 2.17 of the Loan Agreement.
Section 12.      Set-off . In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any of the other Loan Documents or applicable law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Guarantor hereby authorizes the Credit Parties, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Credit Party or any affiliate of such Credit Party, to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor held at any of the offices of the Agent or J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, against and on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender

agrees to notify the applicable Guarantor of any such set-off and application made by such Lender, provided , however , that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.
Section 13.      Business Failure, Bankruptcy or Insolvency . In the event of the business failure of any Guarantor or if there shall be pending any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding with respect to any Guarantor under federal bankruptcy law or any other applicable law or in connection with the insolvency of any Guarantor, or if a liquidator, receiver, or trustee shall have been appointed for any Guarantor or any Guarantor’s properties or assets, the Credit Parties may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of such Person allowed in any proceedings relative to such Guarantor, or any of such Guarantor’s properties or assets, and, irrespective of whether the indebtedness or other obligations of the Borrower guaranteed hereby shall then be due and payable, by declaration or otherwise, the Credit Parties shall be entitled and empowered to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of any sums or sums owing with respect to the indebtedness or other obligations of the Borrower guaranteed hereby, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim. Each Guarantor covenants and agrees that upon the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding by or against the Borrower, such Guarantor shall not seek a supplemental stay or otherwise pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §105 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 1978, as amended, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law, or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of the Credit Parties to enforce any rights of such Person against such Guarantor by virtue of this Guaranty or otherwise. If a Credit Party is prevented under applicable law or otherwise from demanding or accelerating payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise, the Credit Parties shall be entitled to receive from each Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred.
Section 14.      ADDITIONAL GUARANTORS; RELEASE OF GUARANTORS . SECTION 5.11 OF THE LOAN AGREEMENT PROVIDES THAT CERTAIN SUBSIDIARIES MUST BECOME GUARANTORS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, EXECUTING AND DELIVERING TO AGENT A COPY OF THIS GUARANTY.

Exhibit 4.3
AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT
This AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO REVOLVING CREDIT AGREEMENT , (this “ Amendment No. 1 ”), dated as of November 12, 2013 (the “ Amendment Effective Date ”), is by and among THE TAUBMAN REALTY GROUP LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a limited partnership organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (“ Borrower ”), JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., as agent for the Banks defined below (in such capacity, together with its successors in such capacity, “ Administrative Agent ”), JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., in its individual capacity and not as Administrative Agent, and the other lenders signatory hereto (said lenders signatory hereto, each a “ Lender ” and collectively, the “ Lenders ”). Reference is made to that certain Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of February 28, 2013, by and among the Borrower, the Lenders referenced therein and the Administrative Agent (such agreement, the “ Credit Agreement ”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings as set forth in the Credit Agreement, as amended hereby.
RECITALS
WHEREAS , the Borrower has requested that the Lenders make certain amendments to the Credit Agreement, and the Lenders are willing to make such changes as set forth herein;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the agreements, provisions and covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1. AMENDMENTS TO CREDIT Agreement. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

(a)      The definition of “Capitalization Rate” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is restated in its entirety to read as follows:
““Capitalization Rate” means (1) for the Eligible Unencumbered Assets on the Amendment Effective Date, the capitalization rate set forth on Schedule UA attached hereto opposite such Eligible Unencumbered Asset, which shall remain in effect for the term of this Agreement and (2) for any Property that becomes an Eligible Unencumbered Asset after the Amendment Effective Date, (A) 6.0% for any Property for which the average sales per square foot is equal to or greater than $800 per square foot in accordance with the methodology used by the Borrower to publicly report average sales per square foot for its Properties, (B) 6.5% for any Property for which the average sales per square foot is equal to or greater than $500 per square foot but less than $799 per square foot in accordance with the methodology used by the Borrower to publicly report average sales per square foot for its Properties, and (C) 7.5% for any other Property.”
(b)      The definition of “Capitalization Value” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is restated in its entirety to read as follows:

““Capitalization Value” means, at any time, the sum of (1) Combined EBITDA (excluding Properties described in clauses (3) and (4) below) for the twelve (12)-month period ending with the most recently ended calendar quarter, capitalized at an annual rate equal to 6.25%, (2) the Borrower’s beneficial share of unrestricted Cash and Cash Equivalents (i.e., Cash and Cash Equivalents that are not pledged or the use of which is not restricted by the terms of any document or agreement; for the avoidance of doubt, cash collateral pledged to support LC

Exposure pursuant to Section 2.06(j) shall not be considered unrestricted) of the Borrower and its Consolidated Businesses and UJVs, (3) without duplication, the Borrower’s beneficial share of the cost basis of all Development Properties of the Borrower and its Consolidated Businesses and UJVs and (4) without duplication, the Borrower’s beneficial share of the book value (after impairments) of all Acquisition Properties of the Borrower, and its Consolidated Businesses and UJVs. For the purposes of this definition, in no event shall (x) Development Properties contribute in excess of 20% to Capitalization Value or (y) leasing commissions payable by third parties and/or management and development fees contribute in excess of 3% to Capitalization Value. For avoidance of doubt, and as an illustrative example, if the Borrower owns a 50% interest in a UJV and thereafter acquires the other 50% interest in such UJV from its partner, then, the Borrower’s 50% interest in the UJV that it acquired from its Partner will be considered an Acquisition Property for purposes of determining Capitalization Value.”

(c)      The definition of “Development Property” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is restated in its entirety to read as follows:

““Development Property” means a Property currently under development on which the improvements (other than tenant improvements on unoccupied space) related to the development have not been completed (or have recently been completed, subject to the provisions below). Any such Property shall be treated as a Development Property until the date that is twelve (12) months after the date of completion of construction, unless the Borrower has owned or operated the Property for at least three (3) months and has made a one-time election (by written notice to the Administrative Agent) to no longer treat such Property as a Development Property, in which case the contribution of said Property to Capitalization Value shall be determined by such Property’s contribution to Combined EBITDA, annualized based on Borrower’s or such Subsidiary’s or UJV’s period of ownership or operation, divided by 6.25%, instead of clause (3) of the definition of Capitalization Value.”

(d)      Clause (vi) of the definition of “Eligible Unencumbered Assets” set forth in Section 1.1 of Credit Agreement is restated in its entirety to read as follows:

“(vi)      such Property (and the Equity Interests in the Qualified Subsidiary that owns such Property) is not encumbered by any Liens (other than Permitted Encumbrances, Permitted Equipment Liens, Refinancing Mortgages, and customary tenant allowances, but excluding any other Liens that secure Indebtedness), and the Qualified Subsidiary that owns such Property does not have any secured or unsecured Indebtedness (other than (x) current trade payables and Indebtedness secured by Permitted Encumbrances, Permitted Equipment Liens and Refinancing Mortgages, (y) the Guarantees of the Indebtedness under this Agreement and under the Term Loan Agreement dated as of November 8, 2013 among the Borrower, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, as such agreements may be amended, restated, refinanced, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, including any agreement that refinances or replaces such Indebtedness (regardless of the amount of such refinancing or replacement), and (z) a Guarantee of Indebtedness of the Borrower under any other unsecured term loan facility entered into by the Borrower after the date hereof in connection with the refinancing of the existing Indebtedness on The Mall at Short Hills (New Jersey) (regardless of the amount of such refinancing) so long as such property is added as an Eligible Unencumbered Asset under this Agreement);”.

(e)      Schedule UA to the Credit Agreement is deleted in its entirety and Schedule UA to this Amendment No. 1 is substituted in place thereof.

SECTION 2. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE BORROWER

In order to induce the Lenders and the Administrative Agent to enter into this Amendment No. 1, the Borrower represents and warrants to each Lender and the Administrative Agent that the following statements are true, correct and complete:

(iii)      Each of this Amendment No. 1 and the other Amendment Document constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject to general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;
(iv)      This Amendment No. 1 has been duly executed and delivered by the Borrower;
(v)      The representations and warranties of the Borrower contained in Article III of the Credit Agreement are and will be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Amendment Effective Date to the same extent as though made on and as of such date (except in those cases where such representation or warranty expressly relates to an earlier date, in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct as of such date); and
(vi)      No Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TAUBMAN ANNOUNCES THE CLOSING OF $475 MILLION UNSECURED TERM LOAN

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich., November 13, 2013 - - Taubman Centers, Inc. (NYSE: TCO) today announced the closing of a new $475 million unsecured term loan. The unsecured term loan includes an accordion feature that would increase the borrowing capacity to as much as $600 million, if fully exercised and subject to specified conditions. It will mature in February 2019 and bears interest at a range based on the company’s total leverage ratio. As of the loan closing, the leverage ratio results in a rate of LIBOR plus 1.35 percent.

“This unsecured term loan is a new form of capital for us,” said Lisa A. Payne, vice chairman and chief financial officer. “It’s low cost, flexible, and relatively long-term in nature.
