Section 5.4.    Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries; Affiliates.

(a)    information that the Constituent Companies determine after consultation with counsel qualified to advise on such matters that, notwithstanding the confidentiality requirements of Section 21, they would be prohibited from disclosing by applicable law or regulations without making public disclosure thereof;

(b)    information, if the reason for such non-disclosure is solely to preserve an attorney-client privilege available to the Constituent Companies and the Constituent Companies have determined after consultation with independent counsel qualified to advise on such matters that such information would reasonably be expected, if disclosed, to no longer be entitled to the benefits of such attorney-client privilege notwithstanding the confidentiality requirements of Section 21, provided that (1) such information was not made subject to such attorney-client privilege in contemplation of this clause (b) and (2) such non-disclosure is necessary to preserve such attorney-client privilege; or

Promptly after a request therefor from any Purchaser or holder of a Note that is an Institutional Investor, the Constituent Companies will provide such Purchaser or holder with a written opinion of counsel (which may be addressed to the Constituent Companies) relied upon as to any requested information that the Constituent Companies have asserted that they are prohibited from disclosing to such Purchaser or holder under circumstances described in this Section 7.5.

 

SECTION 8. PAYMENT AND PREPAYMENT OF THE NOTES.

Section 8.1.    Maturity. As provided therein, the entire unpaid principal balance of each Note shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date thereof.

Section 8.2.    Optional Prepayments with Make-Whole Amount. The Issuer may, at its option, upon notice as provided below, prepay at any time all, or from time to time any part

 

-22-


of, the Notes, in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, and the Make-Whole Amount determined for the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount. The Issuer will give each holder of Notes written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than 10 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment unless the Issuer and the Required Holders agree to another time period pursuant to Section 18. Each such notice shall specify such date (which shall be a Business Day), the aggregate principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.3), and the interest to be paid on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer of the Issuer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation. Two Business Days prior to such prepayment, the Issuer shall deliver to each holder of Notes a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer of the Issuer specifying the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount as of the specified prepayment date.

Section 8.3.    Allocation of Partial Prepayments and Purchases. In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.2, the principal amount of the Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid principal amounts thereof not theretofore called for prepayment. In the case of any purchase or prepayment of the Notes pursuant to Section 8.5 or Section 8.7, the principal amount of the Notes to be purchased or prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes that have accepted such offer of purchase or prepayment.

Section 8.4.    Maturity; Surrender, Etc. In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 8, the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date fixed for such prepayment, together with interest on such principal amount accrued to such date and the applicable Make-Whole Amount, if any. From and after such date, unless the Issuer shall fail to pay such principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and Make-Whole Amount, if any, as aforesaid, interest on such principal amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to the Issuer and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid principal amount of any Note.

Section 8.5.    Purchase of Notes. The Issuer will not, and will not permit any Affiliate to, purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding Notes except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes or (b) pursuant to an offer to purchase made by the Issuer or an Affiliate pro rata to the holders of all Notes at the time outstanding upon the same terms and conditions and, for the avoidance of doubt, such offer may be at less than par and may or may not include the payment of the Make-Whole Amount. Any such offer shall provide each holder with sufficient information to enable it to make an informed decision with respect to such offer, and shall remain open for at least 10 Business Days. If the holders of more than 50% of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding accept such offer, the Issuer shall promptly notify the remaining holders of such fact and the expiration date for the acceptance by holders of Notes of such offer shall be extended by the number of days necessary to give each such remaining

 

-23-


holder at least 10 Business Days from its receipt of such notice to accept such offer. A failure by a holder of Notes to respond prior to the last day on which such holder may respond (including any extension of such period pursuant to the terms of the preceding sentence) to an offer to purchase made pursuant to this Section 8.5 shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of such offer by such holder. The Issuer will promptly cancel all Notes acquired by it or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of Notes pursuant to this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or exchange for any such Notes. Acceptances of offers to repurchase Notes pursuant to this Section 8.5 need not be a on a pro rata basis among the Notes.

Section 8.6.    Make-Whole Amount.

The term “Make-Whole Amount” means, with respect to any Note, an amount equal to the excess, if any, of the Discounted Value of the Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to the Called Principal of such Note over the amount of such Called Principal, provided that the Make-Whole Amount may in no event be less than zero. For the purposes of determining the Make-Whole Amount, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Called Principal” means, with respect to any Note, the principal of such Note that is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

“Discounted Value” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the amount obtained by discounting all Remaining Scheduled Payments with respect to such Called Principal from their respective scheduled due dates to the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in accordance with accepted financial practice and at a discount factor (applied on the same periodic basis as that on which interest on the Notes is payable) equal to the Reinvestment Yield with respect to such Called Principal.

“Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (a) 0.50% plus (b) the yield to maturity implied by the “Ask Yield(s)” reported as of 10:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, on the display designated as “Page PX1” (or such other display as may replace Page PX1) on Bloomberg Financial Markets for the most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities (“Reported”) having a maturity equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there are no such U.S. Treasury securities Reported having a maturity equal to such Remaining Average Life, then such implied yield to maturity will be determined by (1) converting U.S. Treasury bill quotations to bond equivalent yields in accordance with accepted financial practice and (2) interpolating linearly between the “Ask Yields” Reported for the applicable most recently issued actively traded on-the-run U.S. Treasury securities with the maturities (i) closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (ii) closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

 

-24-


If such yields are not Reported or the yields Reported as of such time are not ascertainable (including by way of interpolation), then “Reinvestment Yield” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the sum of (x) 0.50% plus (y) the yield to maturity implied by the U.S. Treasury constant maturity yields reported, for the latest day for which such yields have been so reported as of the second Business Day preceding the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal, in Federal Reserve Statistical Release H.15 (or any comparable successor publication) for the U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to the Remaining Average Life of such Called Principal as of such Settlement Date. If there is no such U.S. Treasury constant maturity having a term equal to such Remaining Average Life, such implied yield to maturity will be determined by interpolating linearly between (A) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and greater than such Remaining Average Life and (B) the U.S. Treasury constant maturity so reported with the term closest to and less than such Remaining Average Life. The Reinvestment Yield shall be rounded to the number of decimal places as appears in the interest rate of the applicable Note.

“Remaining Average Life” means, with respect to any Called Principal, the number of years obtained by dividing (a) such Called Principal into (b) the sum of the products obtained by multiplying (1) the principal component of each Remaining Scheduled Payment with respect to such Called Principal by (2) the number of years, computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months and calculated to two decimal places, that will elapse between the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal and the scheduled due date of such Remaining Scheduled Payment.

“Remaining Scheduled Payments” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, all payments of such Called Principal and interest thereon that would be due after the Settlement Date with respect to such Called Principal if no payment of such Called Principal were made prior to its scheduled due date, provided that if such Settlement Date is not a date on which interest payments are due to be made under the Notes, then the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued to such Settlement Date and required to be paid on such Settlement Date pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 12.1.

“Settlement Date” means, with respect to the Called Principal of any Note, the date on which such Called Principal is to be prepaid pursuant to Section 8.2 or has become or is declared to be immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1, as the context requires.

Section 8.7.    Offer to Prepay Notes in the Event of a Change in Control.

(a)    Notice of Change in Control or Control Event. The Constituent Companies will, within 10 Business Days after any Responsible Officer of either thereof has knowledge of the occurrence of any Change in Control or any Control Event, give written notice of such Change in Control or Control Event to each holder of Notes unless notice in respect of such Change in Control (or the Change in Control contemplated by such Control Event) shall have been given pursuant to Section 8.7(b). If a Change in

 

-25-

(b)    Condition to Company Action. The Parent Guarantor will not take any action that consummates or finalizes a Change in Control unless (1) at least 30 days prior to such action the Issuer shall have given to each holder of Notes written notice containing and constituting an offer to prepay Notes as described in Section 8.7(c), accompanied by the certificate described in Section 8.7(g), and (2) contemporaneously with such action, the Issuer prepays all Notes required to be prepaid in accordance with this Section 8.7.

(c)    Offer to Prepay Notes. The offer to prepay Notes contemplated by Sections 8.7(a) and (b) shall be an offer to prepay, in accordance with and subject to this Section 8.7, all, but not less than all, Notes held by each holder on a date specified in such offer (the “Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date”). If such Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date is in connection with an offer contemplated by Section 8.7(a), such date shall be a Business Day not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days after the date of such offer (or if the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date shall not be specified in such offer, the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date shall be the Business Day nearest to the 30th day after the date of such offer).

(d)    Acceptance; Rejection. A holder of Notes may accept or reject the offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.7 by causing a notice of such acceptance or rejection to be delivered to the Issuer at least five Business Days prior to the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date. A failure by a holder of Notes to so respond to an offer to prepay made pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be deemed to constitute a rejection of such offer by such holder.

(e)    Prepayment. Prepayment of the Notes to be prepaid pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be at 100% of the principal amount of such Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes accrued to the date of prepayment but without any Make-Whole Amount. The prepayment shall be made on the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date, except as provided by Section 8.7(f).

(f)    Deferral Pending Change in Control. The obligation of the Issuer to prepay Notes pursuant to the offers required by Section 8.7(c) and accepted in accordance with Section 8.7(d) is subject to the occurrence of the Change in Control in respect of which such offers and acceptances shall have been made. In the event that such Change in Control does not occur on the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date in respect thereof, the prepayment shall be deferred until, and shall be made on the date on which, such Change in Control occurs. The Constituent Companies shall keep each holder of Notes reasonably and timely informed of (1) any such deferral of the date of prepayment, (2) the date on which such Change in Control and the prepayment are expected to occur and (3) any determination by the Parent Guarantor that efforts to effect such Change in Control have ceased or been abandoned (in which case the offers and acceptances made pursuant to this Section 8.7 in respect of such Change in Control automatically shall be deemed rescinded without penalty or other liability).

 

-26-


(g)    Officer’s Certificate. Each offer to prepay the Notes pursuant to this Section 8.7 shall be accompanied by a certificate, executed by a Senior Financial Officer of the Issuer and dated the date of such offer, specifying (1) the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date, (2) that such offer is made pursuant to this Section 8.7 and that failure by a holder to respond to such offer by the deadline established in Section 8.7(d) shall result in such offer to such holder being deemed rejected, (3) the principal amount of each Note offered to be prepaid, (4) the interest that would be due on each Note offered to be prepaid, accrued to the Change in Control Proposed Prepayment Date, (5) that the conditions of this Section 8.7 have been fulfilled and (6) in reasonable detail, the nature and date of the Change in Control.

(1)    Any “person” or “group” (as such terms are used in Sections 13(d) and 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), is or becomes the “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rules 13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act, except that a Person will be deemed to have “beneficial ownership” of all securities that such Person has the right to acquire, whether such right is exercisable immediately or only after the passage of time), directly or indirectly, of more than 30% of the total voting power of the then outstanding voting stock of the Parent Guarantor; or

(2)    During any period of 12 consecutive months ending after the Execution Date, individuals who at the beginning of any such 12-month period constituted the Board of Directors of the Parent Guarantor (together with any new directors whose election by such Board or whose nomination for election by the shareholders of the Parent Guarantor was approved by a vote of a majority of the directors then still in office who were either directors at the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the Board of Directors of the Parent Guarantor then in office.

Section 9.1.    Compliance with Laws. Without limiting Section 10.4, each Constituent Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, comply with all laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations to which each of them is subject (including ERISA, Environmental Laws, the USA PATRIOT Act and the other laws and regulations that are referred to in Section 5.16) and will obtain and maintain in effect all licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations necessary to the ownership of their respective properties or to the conduct of their respective businesses, in each case to the extent necessary to ensure that non-compliance with such laws, ordinances or governmental rules or regulations or failures to obtain or maintain in effect such licenses, certificates, permits, franchises and other governmental authorizations could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.2.    Insurance. Each Constituent Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, or will cause each tenant under a Tenant Lease to, maintain, with financially sound and reputable insurers, insurance (on a replacement cost basis) with respect to their respective properties and businesses against such casualties and contingencies, of such types, on such terms and in such amounts (including deductibles, co-insurance and self-insurance, if adequate reserves are maintained with respect thereto) as is customary in the case of entities of established reputations engaged in the same or a similar business and similarly situated.

Section 9.3.    Maintenance of Properties. Each Constituent Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, or will cause each tenant under a Tenant Lease to, maintain and keep, or cause to be maintained and kept, their respective properties in good repair, working order and condition (other than ordinary wear and tear or as the result of a casualty for which insurance is maintained pursuant to Section 9.2 or condemnation), so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly conducted at all times subject to the rights of tenants under Tenant Leases, provided that this Section 9.3 shall not prevent the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and the maintenance of any of its properties if such discontinuance is desirable in the conduct of its business and the Parent Guarantor has concluded that such discontinuance could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.4.    Payment of Taxes and Claims. Each Constituent Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, file all tax returns required to be filed in any jurisdiction and to pay and discharge all taxes shown to be due and payable on such returns and all other taxes, assessments, governmental charges, or levies imposed on them or any of their properties, assets, income or franchises, to the extent the same have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent and all claims for which sums have become due and payable that have or might become a Lien on properties or assets of the Parent Guarantor or any Subsidiary,

 

-28-


provided that neither the Parent Guarantor nor any Subsidiary need pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim if (a) the amount, applicability or validity thereof is contested by the Parent Guarantor or such Subsidiary on a timely basis in good faith and in appropriate proceedings, and the Parent Guarantor or a Subsidiary has established adequate reserves therefor in accordance with GAAP on the books of the Parent Guarantor or such Subsidiary or (b) the nonpayment of all such taxes, assessments, charges, levies and claims could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.5.    Corporate Existence, Etc. Each Constituent Company will at all times preserve and keep its limited liability company or corporate existence in full force and effect. Subject to Section 10.2 each Constituent Company will at all times preserve and keep in full force and effect the corporate or other legal existence of each of its Subsidiaries and all rights and franchises of each Constituent Company and its Subsidiaries unless, in the good faith judgment of the Parent Guarantor, the termination of or failure to preserve and keep in full force and effect such corporate or other existence, right or franchise could not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

Section 9.6.    Books and Records. Each Constituent Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, maintain proper books of record and account in conformity with GAAP and all applicable requirements of any Governmental Authority having legal or regulatory jurisdiction over such Constituent Company or such Subsidiary, as the case may be.

Section 9.9.    Most Favored Lender Provision. If at any time a Material Credit Facility or any Guaranty in respect thereof shall include any Financial Covenant and such provision is not contained in this Agreement (any such provision, together with any related definitions (including, any term defined therein with reference to the application of GAAP, as identified in such Material Credit Facility), an “Additional Covenant”), then the Constituent Companies shall promptly, and in any event within 15 Business Days thereof, provide a Most Favored Lender Notice with respect to each such Additional Covenant; provided that a Most Favored Lender Notice is not required to be given in the case of the Additional Covenants incorporated herein on the Execution Date. Thereupon, unless waived in writing by the Required Holders within 10 days of the Purchasers’ and holders’ receipt of such notice, such Additional Covenant shall be deemed incorporated by reference into this Agreement, mutatis mutandis, as if set forth fully herein, effective (a) in the case of any Additional Covenant effective on the Execution Date, as of the Execution Date, and (b) in the case of any Additional Covenant effective after the Execution Date, as of the date when such Additional Covenant became effective under such Material Credit Facility. Any Additional Covenant incorporated into this Agreement pursuant to this provision (1) shall remain unchanged herein notwithstanding any temporary waiver of such Additional Covenant under the relevant Material Credit Facility, (2) shall be deemed automatically amended herein to reflect any subsequent amendments agreed and implemented in relation to such Additional Covenant under the relevant Material Credit Facility and (3) shall be deemed deleted from this Agreement at such time as such Additional Covenant is deleted or otherwise removed from or is no longer in effect under or pursuant to the relevant Material Credit Facility or if the relevant Material Credit Facility has been terminated; provided that (i) if any fees or other remuneration (other than (A) commitment fees and similar fees given in consideration of a new extension of credit in connection with an extension or replacement of the applicable Material Credit Facility, (B) amounts paid in satisfaction of principal or interest under such Material Credit Facility and (C) structuring, arrangement or similar fees solely for the account of the agent under such Material Credit Facility in connection with such deletion, amendment or modification) were paid or agreed to be paid to or for the benefit of any agent or any lender, in such capacity, under such Material Credit Facility principally to cause such Additional Covenant to cease to be in effect or be deleted or to be so amended or modified in such Material Credit Facility, then the Issuer shall pay or agree to pay to the holders of the Notes the same fees or other remuneration on a pro rata basis in proportion to the relative outstanding principal amounts of the Notes and the principal amount of the Indebtedness outstanding under such applicable Material Credit Facility (or applicable Material Credit Facilities); and (ii) no Additional Covenant shall be so deemed automatically amended or deleted during any time that a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. In determining whether a breach of any Financial Covenant incorporated by reference into this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.9 shall constitute an Event of Default, the period of grace, if any, applicable to such Additional Covenant in the relevant Material Credit Facility shall apply.

Although it will not be a Default or an Event of Default if the Constituent Companies fail to comply with any provision of Section 9 on or after the Execution Date and prior to the Closing, if such a failure occurs, then any of the Purchasers may elect not to purchase the Notes on the date of Closing that is specified in Section 3.

SECTION 10. NEGATIVE COVENANTS.

From the Execution Date until the Closing and thereafter, so long as any of the Notes are outstanding, the Constituent Companies covenant that:

The Constituent Companies will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, enter into directly or indirectly any transaction or group of related transactions (including the purchase, lease, sale or exchange of properties of any kind or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate, except (a) in the ordinary course and pursuant to the reasonable requirements of such Constituent Company’s or such Subsidiary’s business and upon fair and reasonable terms no less favorable to such Constituent Company or such Subsidiary than would be obtainable in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate and (b) transactions between or among the Parent Guarantor, the Issuer and any Subsidiary Guarantor.

Section 10.2.    Merger, Consolidation, Sales of Assets and Other Arrangements.

The Constituent Companies will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, (a) enter into any transaction of merger or consolidation (other than (1) any transaction of merger or consolidation between or among the Constituent Companies and the Subsidiary Guarantors; provided that if the Parent Guarantor or the Issuer enters into such a transaction of merger, it is the survivor thereof, (2) any transaction of merger or consolidation of a Subsidiary (other than the Issuer) that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor into a Constituent Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor so long as such Constituent Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor is the survivor thereof and (3) any transaction of merger or consolidation between two or more Subsidiaries (other than the Issuer) that are not Subsidiary Guarantors), (b) liquidate, windup or dissolve itself (or suffer any liquidation or dissolution) or (c) convey, sell, lease, sublease, transfer or otherwise dispose of, in one transaction or a series of transactions, all or any substantial part of its business or assets, or the capital stock of or other Equity Interests in any of its Subsidiaries, whether now owned or hereafter acquired; provided, however, that any of the actions described in the immediately preceding clauses (a) through (c) may be taken with respect to either Constituent Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Subsidiary so long as (i) immediately prior to the taking of such action, and immediately thereafter and after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default is or would be in existence, and (ii) if any such action involves the Parent Guarantor or the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or the Issuer, respectively, must be the survivor, except that the Parent Guarantor may take any such action pursuant to which the Parent Guarantor is not the survivor so long as (A) if such transaction results in a Change of Control, the Issuer has offered to purchase the Notes then outstanding in accordance with Section 8.7, (B) the surviving Person shall be a solvent corporation or limited liability company organized and existing under the laws of the United States or any State thereof (including the District of Columbia), and such surviving Person (I) shall have executed and delivered to each holder of a Note its assumption of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition of this Agreement and (II) shall have caused to be delivered to each holder of any Notes an opinion of nationally recognized independent counsel, or other independent counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders, to the effect that all agreements or instruments effecting such assumption are enforceable in accordance with their terms and comply with the terms hereof and (C) each Subsidiary Guarantor shall have reaffirmed in writing its obligations under the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement.

 

-32-

Section 10.3.    Line of Business. The Constituent Companies will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, engage in any business if, as a result, the general nature of the business in which the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, would then be engaged would be substantially changed from the general nature of the business in which the Parent Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, are engaged on the Execution Date as described in the Memorandum.

Section 10.4.    Economic Sanctions, Etc. The Constituent Companies will not, and will not permit any Controlled Entity to (a) become (including by virtue of being owned or controlled by a Blocked Person), own or control a Blocked Person or (b) directly or indirectly have any investment in or engage in any dealing or transaction (including any investment, dealing or transaction involving the proceeds of the Notes) with any Person if such investment, dealing or transaction (1) would cause any Purchaser or holder or any affiliate of such Purchaser or holder to be in violation of, or subject to sanctions under, any law or regulation applicable to such Purchaser or holder, or (2) is prohibited by or subject to sanctions under any U.S. Economic Sanctions Laws.

Section 10.5.    Negative Pledge.

(a)    Except for Permitted Negative Pledges, the Constituent Companies will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, permit any Eligible Property, Unencumbered Cash or Unencumbered Mortgage Receivable or any direct or indirect ownership interest of the Issuer in any Person owning any Eligible Property, Unencumbered Cash or Unencumbered Mortgage Receivable, to be subject to a Negative Pledge if such Negative Pledge prohibits or purports to prohibit the creation of a Lien on such Eligible Property, Unencumbered Cash, Unencumbered Mortgage Receivable or ownership interest as security for the obligations of the Constituent Companies hereunder or under the Notes.

(b)    The Constituent Companies will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, create, assume, or incur any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of its properties, assets, income or profits of any character whether now owned or hereafter acquired if immediately prior to the creation, assumption or incurring of such Lien, or immediately thereafter, a Default or Event of Default is or would be in existence, including a Default or Event of Default resulting from a violation of any of the covenants contained in Section 10.8 or any Additional Covenant.

Section 10.6.    Restrictions on Intercompany Transfers. The Constituent Companies will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) to, create or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction

 

-33-

(1)    with respect to clauses (a) through (d) above, those encumbrances or restrictions contained in (i) this Agreement or the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, (ii) the Material Credit Facilities as in effect on the date hereof, or (iii) any other agreement (A) evidencing Indebtedness that is not Secured Indebtedness which either Constituent Company or any Subsidiary may create, incur, assume or permit or suffer to exist under this Agreement and (B) containing encumbrances and restrictions imposed in connection with such Indebtedness that are either substantially similar to, or less restrictive than, the encumbrances and restrictions set forth in this Agreement;

(2)    with respect to clause (d), customary provisions restricting assignment of any agreement entered into by either Constituent Company or any Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business; and

(3)    with respect to clause (d), those encumbrances or restrictions contained in an agreement (i) evidencing Indebtedness which a Subsidiary may create, incur, assume, or permit or suffer to exist under this Agreement and (ii) which Indebtedness is secured by a Lien on the assets of such Subsidiary permitted to exist under this Agreement, so long as such encumbrances and restrictions apply only to such Subsidiary and such Subsidiary has no material assets other than those encumbered by such Lien.

Section 10.7.    Parent Guarantor Ownership and Management of the Issuer. The Constituent Companies will not permit the Parent Guarantor to (a) cease to own and control, directly or indirectly, at least 65% of the outstanding Equity Interests of the Issuer, (b) cease to be the managing member of the Issuer or (c) cease to have the sole and exclusive power to exercise all management and control over the Issuer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Constituent Companies will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, secure any Indebtedness outstanding under or pursuant to any Material Credit Facility unless and until the Notes (and the Parent Guaranty, the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement and each other Guaranty delivered in connection

 

-34-


therewith) shall concurrently be secured equally and ratably with such Indebtedness pursuant to documentation reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders in substance and in form, including, without limitation, an intercreditor agreement and opinions of counsel to the Constituent Companies and/or any such Subsidiary, as the case may be, from counsel and in a form that is reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders.

(d)    Ratio of Total Unsecured Indebtedness to Total Unencumbered Eligible Property Value. The Parent Guarantor will not at any time permit the ratio of (1) Total Unsecured Indebtedness to (2) Total Unencumbered Eligible Property Value to exceed 0.60 to 1.00.

(e)    Permitted Investments. The Parent Guarantor will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, at any time make an Investment in or otherwise own the following items which would cause the aggregate value (determined in accordance with GAAP in the cases of clauses (1) through (3)) of such holdings of such Persons to exceed 25% of Total Market Value (or such lesser percentage of “total market value” as is the lowest percentage for which such holdings are then permitted under any Material Credit Facility):

(f)    Dividends and Other Restricted Payments. Subject to the following sentence, if an Event of Default exists, the Constituent Companies will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, declare or make any Restricted Payments except that the Parent Guarantor may declare and make cash distributions to its shareholders in an aggregate amount not to exceed the minimum amount necessary for the Parent Guarantor to remain in compliance with Section 9.7 (and the Issuer and its Subsidiaries may declare and make cash distributions to the Parent Guarantor for such purpose), and Subsidiaries of the Issuer may pay Restricted Payments to the Issuer or any other Subsidiary of the Issuer

 

-35-


that is a Subsidiary Guarantor. If an Event of Default specified in Section 11(a), Section 11(b), Section 11(g), Section 11(h) or Section 11(i) shall exist, or if as a result of the occurrence of any other Event of Default the Notes have been accelerated pursuant to Section 12, the Constituent Companies will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, make any Restricted Payments to any Person except that Subsidiaries may pay Restricted Payments to the Issuer or any other Subsidiary of the Issuer that is a Subsidiary Guarantor.

(g)    Total Unencumbered Eligible Property Value. The Parent Guarantor will not at any time permit Total Unencumbered Eligible Property Value to be less than $300,000,000.

Although it will not be a Default or an Event of Default if the Constituent Companies fail to comply with any provision of Section 10 before or after giving effect to the issuance of the Notes on a pro forma basis, if such a failure occurs, then any of the Purchasers may elect not to purchase the Notes on the date of Closing that is specified in Section 3.

SECTION 12. REMEDIES ON DEFAULT, ETC.

Section 12.1.    Acceleration.

(a)    If an Event of Default with respect to either Constituent Company described in Section 11(g), (h) or (i) (other than an Event of Default described in clause (1) of Section 11(g) or described in clause (6) of Section 11(g) by virtue of the fact that such clause encompasses clause (1) of Section 11(g)) has occurred, all the Notes then outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable.

(b)    If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Holders may at any time at their option, by notice or notices to the Issuer, declare all the Notes then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

(c)    If any Event of Default described in Section 11(a) or (b) has occurred and is continuing, any holder or holders of Notes at the time outstanding affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to the Issuer, declare all the Notes held by it or them to be immediately due and payable.

Upon any Notes becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether automatically or by declaration, such Notes will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Notes, plus (1) all accrued and unpaid interest thereon (including interest accrued thereon at the Default Rate) and (2) the Make-Whole Amount determined in respect of such principal amount, shall all be immediately due and payable, in each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby waived. The Issuer acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Issuer (except as herein specifically

 

-39-


provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount by the Issuer in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such right under such circumstances.

Section 12.2.    Other Remedies. If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Note or the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.

Section 12.3.    Rescission. At any time after any Notes have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 12.1(b) or (c), the Required Holders, by written notice to the Issuer, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Issuer has paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount, if any, on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, and (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b) neither the Issuer nor any other Person shall have paid any amounts which have become due solely by reason of such declaration, (c) all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 18, and (d) no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to the Notes. No rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 12.4.    No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc. No course of dealing and no delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement or any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or hereafter available at law, in equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Constituent Companies under Section 16, the Issuer will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection under this Section 12, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and disbursements.

 

SECTION 13. GUARANTEE.

Section 13.1.    The Guarantee. The Parent Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, as primary obligor and not merely as surety, to each holder of a Note (a) the full and punctual payment when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest (including any interest accruing after the commencement of any proceeding in bankruptcy and any additional interest that would accrue but for the commencement of such proceeding) on the Notes and all

 

-40-


other obligations of the Issuer under this Agreement and (b) the full and prompt performance and observance by the Issuer of each and all of the obligations, covenants and agreements required to be performed or observed by the Issuer under the terms of this Agreement and the Notes (all the foregoing being hereinafter collectively called the “Obligations”). The Parent Guarantor further agrees (to the extent permitted by applicable law) that the Obligations may be extended or renewed, in whole or in part, without notice or further assent from it, and that it shall remain bound under this Section 13 notwithstanding any extension or renewal of any Obligation.

Section 13.2.    Waiver of Defenses. The Parent Guarantor waives presentation to, demand of payment from and protest to the Issuer of any of the Obligations and also waives notice of protest for nonpayment. The Parent Guarantor waives notice of any default under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Obligations. The obligation of the Parent Guarantor hereunder shall not be affected by (a) the failure of any holder of a Note to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against the Issuer or any other Person (including any Subsidiary Guarantor) under this Agreement, the Notes, the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement or any other agreement or otherwise; (b) any extension or renewal of any thereof; (c) any rescission, waiver, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, the Notes, the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement or any other agreement; (d) the acceptance of any security or Guarantee (including the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement) by any holder of a Note for the Obligations or any of them; (e) the release of any security or Guarantee (including the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement) held by any holder of a Note for the Obligations or any of them; (f) the release of the Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person from its liability with respect to the Obligations; (g) any act or failure to act with regard to the Obligations; (h) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets, marshalling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization or arrangement under bankruptcy or similar laws, composition with creditors or readjustment of, or other similar procedure affecting the Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person or any of the assets of any of them, or any allegation or contest of the validity of this Agreement, the Notes, the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement or any other agreement or the disaffirmance of this Agreement or the Notes or the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement or any other agreement in any such proceeding; (i) the invalidity or unenforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement or any other agreement; (j) the impossibility or illegality of performance on the part of the Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person of its obligations under the Notes, this Agreement, the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement or any other instrument or agreement; (k) in respect of the Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person, any change of circumstances, whether or not foreseen or foreseeable, whether or not imputable to the Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person, or other impossibility of performance through fire, explosion, accident, labor disturbance, floods, droughts, embargoes, wars (whether or not declared), acts of terrorists, civil commotions, acts of God or the public enemy, delays or failures of suppliers or carriers, inability to obtain materials, action of any Governmental Authority, change of law or any other causes affecting performance, or other force majeure, whether or not beyond the control of the Issuer, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Person and whether or not of the kind above specified; or (l) any change in the ownership of the Issuer.

It being understood that the specific enumeration of the above-mentioned acts, failures or omissions shall not be deemed to exclude any other acts, failures or omissions, though not

 

-41-


specifically mentioned above, it being the purpose and intent of this Section 13.2 that the obligations of the Parent Guarantor shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable to the extent herein specified and shall not be discharged, impaired or varied except by the payment of the Obligations and then only to the extent of such payment.

Section 13.3.    Guaranty of Payment. The Parent Guarantor further agrees that the Guarantee herein constitutes a guaranty of payment when due (and not a guaranty of collection) and waives any right to require that any resort be had by any holder of a Note to any other Person or to any security held for payment of the Obligations.

Section 13.4.    Guaranty Unconditional. The obligations of the Parent Guarantor hereunder shall not be subject to any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination for any reason (other than payment of the Obligations in full), including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to any defense of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever or by reason of the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of the Obligations or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the obligations of the Parent Guarantor herein shall not be discharged or impaired or otherwise affected by the failure of any holder of a Note to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any remedy under this Agreement, the Notes, the Subsidiary Guaranty Agreement or any other agreement, by any waiver or modification of any thereof, by any default, failure or delay, willful or otherwise, in the performance of the Obligations, or by any other act or thing or omission or delay to do any other act or thing which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Parent Guarantor or would otherwise operate as a discharge of the Parent Guarantor as a matter of law or equity.

Section 13.5.    Reinstatement. The Parent Guarantor further agrees that the Guarantee herein shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by any holder of a Note upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Issuer or otherwise.

Section 13.6.    Payment on Demand. In furtherance of the foregoing and not in limitation of any other right which any holder of a Note has at law or in equity against the Parent Guarantor by virtue hereof, upon the failure of the Issuer to pay any of the Obligations when and as the same shall become due, whether at maturity, by acceleration, by redemption or otherwise, the Parent Guarantor hereby promises to and shall, upon receipt of written demand by any holder of a Note, forthwith pay, or cause to be paid, in cash, to the holders an amount equal to the sum of (a) the unpaid amount of such Obligations then due and owing and (b) accrued and unpaid interest on such Obligations then due and owing (but only to the extent not prohibited by applicable law).

The Parent Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that repeated and successive demands may be made and recoveries may be had hereunder as and when, from time to time, the Issuer shall default under the terms of a Note or this Agreement and that notwithstanding recovery hereunder for or in respect of any given Default or Event of Default, the Guarantee contained in this Section 13 shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to each and every subsequent Default or Event of Default.

 

-42-


Section 13.7.    Stay of Acceleration. The Parent Guarantor further agrees that, as between itself, on the one hand, and the holders of the Notes, on the other hand, (a) the maturity of the Obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in this Agreement for the purposes of the Guarantee herein, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the Obligations guaranteed hereby and (b) in the event of any such declaration of acceleration of such Obligations, such Obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Parent Guarantor for the purposes of this Guarantee.

Section 13.8.    No Subrogation. Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the Parent Guarantor hereunder, the Parent Guarantor shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of any holder of a Note against the Issuer or any collateral security or Guarantee or right of offset held by any holder for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the Parent Guarantor seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from the Issuer or any Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of payments made by the Parent Guarantor hereunder, until all amounts owing to the holders of the Notes by the Issuer on account of the Obligations are paid in full. If any amount shall be paid to the Parent Guarantor on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall be held by the Parent Guarantor in trust for the holders of the Notes, segregated from other funds of the Parent Guarantor, and shall, forthwith upon receipt by the Parent Guarantor, be turned over to the holders of the Notes in the exact form received by the Parent Guarantor (duly indorsed by the Parent Guarantor to the holders of the Notes, if required), to be applied against the Obligations.

Section 13.9.    Marshalling. No holder of a Note shall be under any obligation: (a) to marshal any assets in favor of the Parent Guarantor or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of the Issuer under or in respect of the Notes and this Agreement or the obligations of the Parent Guarantor hereunder or (b) to pursue any other remedy that the Parent Guarantor may or may not be able to pursue itself and that may lighten the Parent Guarantor’s burden, any right to which the Parent Guarantor hereby expressly waives.

Section 13.10.    Transfer of Notes. All rights of any holder of a Note under this Section 13 shall be considered to be transferred or assigned at any time or from time to time upon the transfer of any Note held by such holder whether with or without the consent of or notice to the Parent Guarantor under this Section 13 or to the Issuer.

Section 13.11.    Consideration. The Parent Guarantor has received, or shall receive, direct or indirect benefits from the making of this Guarantee.

 

SECTION 14. REGISTRATION; EXCHANGE; SUBSTITUTION OF NOTES.

Section 14.1.    Registration of Notes. The Issuer shall keep at its principal executive office a register for the registration and registration of transfers of Notes. The name and address of each holder of one or more Notes, each transfer thereof and the name and address of each transferee of one or more Notes shall be registered in such register. If any holder of one or more Notes is a nominee, then (a) the name and address of the beneficial owner of such Note or Notes shall also be registered in such register as an owner and holder thereof and (b) at any such beneficial owner’s option, either such beneficial owner or its nominee may execute any

amendment, waiver or consent pursuant to this Agreement. Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer, the Person in whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed and treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and the Issuer shall not be affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. The Issuer shall give to any holder of a Note that is an Institutional Investor promptly upon request therefor, a complete and correct copy of the names and addresses of all registered holders of Notes.

Section 14.2.    Transfer and Exchange of Notes. Upon surrender of any Note to the Issuer at the address and to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 19(3)), for registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case of a surrender for registration of transfer accompanied by a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered holder of such Note or such holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing and accompanied by the relevant name, address and other information for notices of each transferee of such Note or part thereof), within 10 Business Days thereafter, the Issuer shall execute and deliver, at the Issuer’s expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes (as requested by the holder thereof) in exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid principal amount of the surrendered Note. Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as such holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of Schedule 1. Each such new Note shall be dated and bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. The Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in respect of any such transfer of Notes.

Any transferee, by its acceptance of a Note registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have made the representation set forth in Section 6.3.

Section 14.3.    Replacement of Notes. Upon receipt by the Issuer at the address and to the attention of the designated officer (all as specified in Section 19(3)) of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note (which evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional Investor, notice from such Institutional Investor of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and

(b)    in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof,

within 10 Business Days thereafter, the Issuer at its own expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Note, dated and bearing interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

Prior to any sale or other disposition of any Note held by a Purchaser or its nominee, such Purchaser will, at its election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to the Issuer in exchange for a new Note or Notes pursuant to Section 14.2. The Issuer will afford the benefits of this Section 15.2 to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note purchased by a Purchaser under this Agreement and that has made the same agreement relating to such Note as the Purchasers have made in this Section 15.2.

SECTION 21. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

For the purposes of this Section 21, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to any Purchaser by or on behalf of a Constituent Company or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature, provided that such term does not include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such Purchaser other than through disclosure by a Constituent Company or any Subsidiary or (d) constitutes financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly available.

Each holder of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be entitled to the benefits of this Section 21 as though it were a party to this Agreement.

delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will enter into an agreement with the Constituent Companies embodying this Section 21.

In the event that as a condition to receiving access to information relating to a Constituent Company or its Subsidiaries in connection with the transactions contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, any Purchaser or holder of a Note is required to agree to a confidentiality undertaking (whether through IntraLinks, another secure website, a secure virtual workspace or otherwise) which is different from this Section 21, this Section 21 shall not be amended thereby and, as between such Purchaser or such holder and such Constituent Company, this Section 21 shall supersede any such other confidentiality undertaking.

 

SECTION 22. SUBSTITUTION OF PURCHASER.

Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of its Affiliates or another Purchaser or any one of such other Purchaser’s Affiliates (a “Substitute Purchaser”) as the purchaser of the Notes that it has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice to the Constituent Companies, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Substitute Purchaser, shall contain such Substitute Purchaser’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a confirmation by such Substitute Purchaser of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 22), shall be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser in lieu of such original Purchaser. In the event that such Substitute Purchaser is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Substitute Purchaser thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Substitute Purchaser, upon receipt by the Constituent Companies of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Substitute Purchaser as a “Purchaser” in this Agreement (other than in this Section 22), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Substitute Purchaser, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

 

SECTION 23. MISCELLANEOUS.

Section 23.1.    Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement by or on behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns (including any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed or not, except that, subject to Section 10.2, neither Constituent Company may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under the Notes without the prior written consent of each holder. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

Section 23.2.    Accounting Terms.

(a)    All accounting terms used herein which are not expressly defined in this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP.

 

-51-


(b)    If the Constituent Companies notify the holders of Notes that, in their reasonable opinion, or if the Required Holders notify the Constituent Companies that, in their reasonable opinion, as a result of any change in GAAP from time to time (a “Subsequent Change”), any of the financial covenants contained in this Agreement or any of the defined terms used therein no longer apply as intended such that such covenants are materially more or less restrictive to the Constituent Companies than are such covenants immediately prior to giving effect to such Subsequent Change, the Constituent Companies and the holders of Notes shall negotiate in good faith to reset or amend such covenants or defined terms so as to negate such Subsequent Change, or to establish alternative covenants or defined terms. Until the Constituent Companies and the Required Holders so agree to reset, amend or establish alternative covenants or defined terms, the financial covenants contained in this Agreement together with the relevant defined terms, shall continue to apply and compliance therewith shall be determined assuming that the Subsequent Change shall not have occurred (“Static GAAP”).

Section 23.3.    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 23.4.    Construction, Etc. Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

Defined terms herein shall apply equally to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined. Whenever the context may require, any pronoun shall include the corresponding

Section 23.5.    Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto. Delivery of a counterpart in “pdf” shall be treated as a delivery of an original counterpart hereof.

Section 23.6.    Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

Section 23.7.    Jurisdiction and Process; Waiver of Jury Trial.

(a)    Each party hereto irrevocably submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any New York State or federal court sitting in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Notes. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, each party hereto irrevocably waives and agrees not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense or otherwise, any claim that it is not subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

(b)    Each party hereto agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, that a final judgment in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 23.7(a) brought in any such court shall be conclusive and binding upon it subject to rights of appeal, as the case may be, and may be enforced in the courts of the United States or the State of New York (or any other courts to the jurisdiction of which it or any of its assets is or may be subject) by a suit upon such judgment.

 

-53-


(c)    Each party hereto consents to process being served by or on behalf of any other party hereto in any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 23.7(a) by mailing a copy thereof by registered, certified, priority or express mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, return receipt or delivery confirmation requested, to it at its address specified in Section 19 or at such other address of which such party shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. Each party hereto agrees that such service upon receipt (1) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such suit, action or proceeding and (2) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it. Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.

(d)    Nothing in this Section 23.7 shall affect the right of any party hereto to serve process in any manner permitted by law, or limit any right that any party hereto may have to bring proceedings against another party hereto in the courts of any appropriate jurisdiction or to enforce in any lawful manner a judgment obtained in one jurisdiction in any other jurisdiction.

(e)    The parties hereto hereby waive trial by jury in any action brought on or with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or any other document executed in connection herewith or therewith.

SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY AGREEMENT

Re:

$150,000,000 4.84% Guaranteed Senior Notes due April 18, 2027

of

Broadstone Net Lease, LLC

 

This SUBSIDIARY GUARANTY AGREEMENT dated as of April 18, 2017 (this “Guaranty”) is entered into on a joint and several basis by each of the undersigned, together with any entity which may become a party hereto by execution and delivery of a Subsidiary Guaranty Supplement in substantially the form set forth as Exhibit A hereto (a “Guaranty Supplement”) (which parties are hereinafter referred to individually as a “Guarantor” and collectively as the “Guarantors”).

R E C I T A L S

A.    Broadstone Net Lease, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Parent Guarantor”), is the managing member of Broadstone Net Lease, LLC, a New York limited liability company (the “Issuer”; the Parent Guarantor and the Issuer are sometimes collectively referred to herein as the “Constituent Companies”). Each Guarantor is a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of a Constituent Company.

B.    The Constituent Companies have entered into a Note and Guaranty Agreement dated as of March 16, 2017 (as the same may be amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Note Agreement”) with each of the purchasers listed in the Purchaser Schedule attached to said Note Agreement (collectively, the “Purchasers”), providing for, among other things, the issue and sale by the Issuer to the Purchasers of $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 4.84% Guaranteed Senior Notes due April 18, 2027 (the “Notes”). The Purchasers together with their respective successors and assigns are collectively referred to herein as the “Holders.”

C.    The Purchasers have required as a condition of their purchase of the Notes that the Constituent Companies cause each of the undersigned to enter into this Guaranty and, as set forth in Section 9.8(a) of the Note Agreement, to cause certain other Subsidiaries from time to time to enter into a Guaranty Supplement, and the Constituent Companies have agreed to cause each of the undersigned to execute this Guaranty and to cause each such other Subsidiary to execute a Guaranty Supplement, in each case in order to induce the Purchasers to purchase the Notes and thereby benefit the Issuer and its Subsidiaries by providing funds to the Issuer for the purposes described in Section 5.14 of the Note Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, as required by Section 4.11 of the Note Agreement and in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and

(a)    Each Guarantor jointly and severally does hereby irrevocably, absolutely and unconditionally guarantee unto the Holders: (1) the full and prompt payment of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest (including, without limitation, any interest on any overdue principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, interest accruing after the commencement of any bankruptcy or similar proceeding, and any additional interest that would accrue but for the commencement of such proceeding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, on any overdue interest) on the Notes from time to time outstanding, as and when such payments shall become due and payable whether by lapse of time, upon redemption or prepayment, by extension or by acceleration or declaration or otherwise in federal or other immediately available funds of the United States which at the time of payment or demand therefor shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts, (2) the full and prompt performance and observance by the Issuer of each and all of the obligations, covenants and agreements required to be performed or owed by the Issuer under the terms of the Notes, (3) the full and prompt performance and observance by each Constituent Company of each and all of the obligations, covenants and agreements required to be performed or owed by such Constituent Company under the terms of the Note Agreement and (4) the full and prompt payment, upon demand by any Holder, of all costs and expenses, legal or otherwise (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), if any, payable by the Issuer pursuant to Section 12.4 of the Note Agreement or the Constituent Companies pursuant to Section 16.1 of the Note Agreement, or as shall have been expended or incurred in the protection or enforcement of any rights, privileges or liabilities in favor of the Holders under or in respect of this Guaranty or in any consultation or action in connection therewith or herewith.

(b)    To the extent that any Guarantor shall make a payment hereunder (a “Payment”) which, together with all other Payments made by such Guarantor, and taking into account all other Payments previously or concurrently made by any of the other Guarantors, exceeds the amount which such Guarantor would otherwise have paid if each Guarantor had paid the aggregate obligations satisfied by such Payment(s) in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s Allocable Amount (as hereinafter defined) in effect immediately prior to such Payment bore to the Aggregate Allocable Amount (as hereinafter defined) in effect immediately prior to the making of such Payment, then such Guarantor shall be entitled to contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, each of the other Guarantors for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Payment; provided that each Guarantor covenants and agrees that such right of contribution and indemnification and any and all claims of such Guarantor against any other Guarantor, any endorser or against any of their property shall be junior and subordinate in right of payment to the prior indefeasible final payment in cash in full of all of the Notes and satisfaction by the

 

E-SGA - 4


Constituent Companies of their obligations under the Note Agreement and by the Guarantors of their obligations under this Guaranty and the Guarantors shall not take any action to enforce such right of contribution and indemnification, and the Guarantors shall not accept any payment in respect of such right of contribution and indemnification, until all of the Notes and all amounts payable by the Guarantors hereunder have indefeasibly been finally paid in cash in full and all of the obligations of the Constituent Companies under the Note Agreement and of the Guarantors under this Guaranty have been satisfied.

As of any date of determination, (1) the “Allocable Amount” of any Guarantor shall be equal to the maximum amount which could then be claimed by the Holders under this Guaranty without rendering such claim voidable or avoidable under Section 548 of Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. Sec. 101 et. seq.) or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law; and (2) the “Aggregate Allocable Amount” shall be equal to the sum of the Allocable Amount of all Guarantors.

This clause (b) is intended only to define the relative rights of the Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this clause (b) is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts to the Holders as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance herewith.

Each Guarantor acknowledges that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute an asset in favor of any Guarantor to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.

 

SECTION 3. GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE.

This is an irrevocable, absolute and unconditional guarantee of payment and performance (and not of collection) and each Guarantor hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any right to require that any action on or in respect of any Note or the Note Agreement be brought against either Constituent Company or any other Person or that resort be had to any direct or indirect security for the Notes or for this Guaranty or any other remedy. Any Holder may, at its option, proceed hereunder against any Guarantor in the first instance to collect monies when due, the payment of which is guaranteed hereby, without first proceeding against either Constituent Company or any other Person and without first resorting to any direct or indirect security for the Notes or for this Guaranty or any other remedy. The liability of each Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be affected or impaired by any acceptance by any Holder of any direct or indirect security for, or other guaranties of, any Indebtedness, liability or obligation of either Constituent Company or any other Person to any Holder or by any failure, delay, neglect or omission by any Holder to realize upon or protect any such guarantees, Indebtedness, liability or obligation or any notes or other instruments evidencing the same or any direct or indirect security therefor or by any approval, consent, waiver, or other action taken, or omitted to be taken by any such Holder.

The covenants and agreements on the part of the Guarantors herein contained shall take effect as joint and several covenants and agreements, and references to the Guarantors shall take effect as references to each of them and none of them shall be released from liability hereunder by reason of the guarantee ceasing to be binding as a continuing security on any other of them.

(12)    any defense whatsoever that: (i) the Issuer or any other Person might have to the payment of the Notes (including, principal, Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest), other than payment thereof in federal or other immediately available funds or (ii) either Constituent Company or any other Person might have to the performance or observance of any of the provisions of the Notes, the Note Agreement or any other agreement, whether through the satisfaction or purported satisfaction by either Constituent Company or any other Person of its debts due to any cause such as bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, merger, consolidation, reorganization, dissolution, liquidation, winding-up or otherwise; or

(13)    any act or failure to act with regard to the Notes, the Note Agreement, this Guaranty or any other agreement or anything which might vary the risk of any Guarantor or any other Person; or

provided that the specific enumeration of the above-mentioned acts, failures or omissions shall not be deemed to exclude any other acts, failures or omissions, though not specifically mentioned above, it being the purpose and intent of this Guaranty and the parties hereto that the obligations of each Guarantor shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be discharged, impaired or varied except by the payment of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on the Notes in accordance with their respective terms whenever the same shall become due and payable as in the Notes provided, at the place specified in and all in the manner and with the effect provided in the Notes and the Note Agreement, as each may be amended or modified from time to time. Without limiting the foregoing, it is understood that repeated and successive demands may be made and recoveries may be had hereunder as and when, from time to time, the Issuer shall default under or in respect of the terms of the Notes or either Constituent Company shall default under or in respect of the terms of the Note Agreement and that notwithstanding recovery hereunder for or in respect of any given default or defaults by the Issuer under the Notes or by either Constituent Company under the Note Agreement, this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and shall apply to each and every subsequent default.

(d)    All rights of any Holder under this Guaranty shall be considered to be transferred or assigned at any time or from time to time upon the transfer of any Note held by such Holder whether with or without the consent of or notice to the Guarantors under this Guaranty or to either Constituent Company.

 

E-SGA - 9


(e)    To the extent of any payments made under this Guaranty, the Guarantors shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holder or Holders upon whose Notes such payment was made, but each Guarantor covenants and agrees that such right of subrogation and any and all claims of such Guarantor against either Constituent Company, any endorser or other Guarantor or against any of their respective properties shall be junior and subordinate in right of payment to the prior indefeasible final payment in cash in full of all of the Notes and satisfaction by the Constituent Companies of their obligations under the Note Agreement and by the Guarantors of their obligations under this Guaranty, and the Guarantors shall not take any action to enforce such right of subrogation, and the Guarantors shall not accept any payment in respect of such right of subrogation, until all of the Notes and all amounts payable by the Guarantors hereunder have indefeasibly been finally paid in cash in full and all of the obligations of the Constituent Companies under the Note Agreement and of the Guarantors under this Guaranty have been satisfied. Notwithstanding any right of any Guarantor to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from either Constituent Company, all rights, Liens and security interests of each Guarantor, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of the Constituent Companies shall be and hereby are subordinated to the rights, if any, of the Holders in those assets. No Guarantor shall have any right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all of the Notes and the obligations of the Constituent Companies under the Note Agreement shall have been paid in cash in full and satisfied.

(f)    Each Guarantor agrees that to the extent the Issuer or any other Person makes any payment on any Note, which payment or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, voided, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered, rescinded or is required to be retained by or repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other Person under any bankruptcy code, common law, or equitable cause, then and to the extent of such payment, the obligation or the part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect with respect to the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder, as if said payment had not been made. The liability of the Guarantors hereunder shall not be reduced or discharged, in whole or in part, by any payment to any Holder from any source that is thereafter paid, returned or refunded in whole or in part by reason of the assertion of a claim of any kind relating thereto, including, but not limited to, any claim for breach of contract, breach of warranty, preference, illegality, invalidity or fraud asserted by any account debtor or by any other Person.

(g)    No Holder shall be under any obligation: (1) to marshal any assets in favor of the Guarantors or in payment of any or all of the liabilities of the Issuer under or in respect of the Notes or the Constituent Companies under or in respect of the Note Agreement or the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder or (2) to pursue any other remedy that the Guarantors may or may not be able to pursue themselves and that may lighten the Guarantors’ burden, any right to which each Guarantor hereby expressly waives.

(h)    If an event permitting the acceleration of the maturity of the principal amount of the Notes shall at any time have occurred and be continuing and such acceleration shall at such time be prevented or the right of any Holder to receive any payment under any Note shall at such

 

E-SGA - 10


time be delayed or otherwise affected by reason of the pendency against the Issuer, the Parent Guarantor or any other Guarantor of a case or proceeding under a bankruptcy or insolvency law, each Guarantor agrees that, for purposes of this Guaranty and its obligations hereunder, the maturity of such principal amount shall be deemed to have been accelerated with the same effect as if the Holders had accelerated the same in accordance with the terms of the Note Agreement, and such Guarantor shall forthwith pay such accelerated principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on the Notes and any other amounts guaranteed hereunder.

(d)    The execution, delivery and performance by such Guarantor of this Guaranty will not (1) contravene, result in any breach of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any Lien in respect of any property of such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries under any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, loan, purchase or credit agreement, lease, corporate charter, organizational document, shareholders agreement or any other agreement or instrument to which such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or by which such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties may be bound or affected, (2) conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any order, judgment, decree, or ruling of any court, arbitrator or Governmental Authority applicable to such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries or (3) violate any provision of any statute or other rule or regulation of any Governmental Authority applicable to such Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries.

SECTION 6. AMENDMENTS, WAIVERS AND CONSENTS.

(a)    This Guaranty may be amended, and the observance of any term hereof may be waived (either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of each Guarantor and the Required Holders, except that (1) no amendment or waiver of any of the provisions of Sections 3, 4 or 5, or any defined term (as it is used therein), will be effective as to any Holder unless consented to by such Holder in writing and (2) no amendment or waiver may, without the written consent of each Holder, (i) change the percentage of the principal amount of the Notes the Holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or waiver or (ii) amend Section 2 or this Section 6. No consent of the Holders or the Guarantors shall be required in connection with the execution and delivery of a Guaranty Supplement or other addition of any additional Guarantor, and each Guarantor, by its execution and delivery of this Guaranty (or Guaranty Supplement) consents to the addition of each additional Guarantor.

(b)    The Guarantors will provide each Holder with sufficient information, sufficiently far in advance of the date a decision is required, to enable such Holder to make an informed and considered decision with respect to any proposed amendment, waiver or consent in respect of any of the provisions hereof.

(e)    Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this Section 6 applies equally to all Holders affected thereby and is binding upon them and upon each future holder and upon the Guarantors. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant or agreement not expressly amended or waived, or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between any Guarantor and any Holder nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any Holder. As used herein, the term “this Guaranty” and references thereto shall mean this Guaranty as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.

SECTION 8 MISCELLANEOUS.

(a)    No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to any Holder is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Guaranty now or hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default, omission or failure of performance hereunder shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof but any such right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In order to entitle any Holder to exercise any remedy reserved to it under this Guaranty, it shall not be necessary for such Holder to physically produce its Note in any proceedings instituted by it or to give any notice, other than such notice as may be herein expressly required.

(b)    The Guarantors will pay all sums becoming due under this Guaranty by the method and at the address specified for such purpose for such Holder, in the case of a Holder that is a Purchaser, on the Purchaser Schedule, or by such other method or at such other address as any Holder shall have from time to time specified to the Guarantors and the Constituent Companies in writing for such purpose, without the presentation or surrender of this Guaranty or any Note.

(c)    Any provision of this Guaranty that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(d)    If the whole or any part of this Guaranty shall be now or hereafter become unenforceable against any one or more of the Guarantors for any reason whatsoever or if it is not executed by any one or more of the Guarantors, this Guaranty shall nevertheless be and remain fully binding upon and enforceable against each other Guarantor as if it had been made and delivered only by such other Guarantors.

(e)    This Guaranty shall be binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder and its successors and assigns so long as its Notes remain outstanding and unpaid. If any Guarantor enters into any consolidation or merger, pursuant to which such Guarantor is not the surviving entity (the “Successor Person”), the Successor Person shall execute and deliver to each Holder its assumption of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition of this Guaranty (pursuant to such agreements and instruments as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders).

(f)    This Guaranty may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together signed by all, of the parties hereto.

 

E-SGA - 14


(g)    This Guaranty shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would permit the application of the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.
