(i)such prepayment must occur on a Business Day and must be in a minimum amount of the lesser of (i) $1,000,000 and (ii) the outstanding principal balance of the Loan;

hereof and shall require (x) the prior written consent of the Required Lenders, such consent to be in their sole and absolute discretion, and (y) Borrowers to prepay the Loan upon the consummation of such Disposition in an aggregate principal amount equal to the Release Price of the Proposed Released Collateral, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and the applicable Yield Maintenance Amount due and payable in respect thereof (such prepayments to be applied as set forth in clause (iii) below).  Each such prepayment shall be paid to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders.

(ii)Borrowers shall prepay the Loan in an amount equal to 100% of the Loss Proceeds Prepayment Amount (but without any Yield Maintenance Amount or similar prepayment charge being due and owing).  Each such prepayment shall be paid to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders.  

(iii)Each prepayment of the Loan pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.03(b) and Section 7.17 shall:

(A)occur on a Business Day;

(B)be accompanied by (1) all interest accrued to the date of such prepayment on the portion of the principal amount being prepaid, (2) solely with respect to clause (b)(i), if such prepayment occurs on or prior to a Yield Maintenance Termination Date, the applicable Yield Maintenance Amount, if any, with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and (3) any other amounts then due and payable under this Agreement with respect to the Loan, including any amounts payable pursuant to Article III and Section 10.04; and

(C)Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a written notice as many days prior to the date proposed for such prepayment as possible (but, in each case other than a mandatory prepayment as provided for in Section 2.03(b)(ii) hereof, with no less than five (5) Business Days’ notice).  Each such notice shall specify (1) the Business Day on which such prepayment will be made and (2) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loan to be prepaid.  Following its receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent will calculate all interest at the then current Applicable Rate that will be accrued through the date of such prepayment and the Yield Maintenance Amount, if any, to be paid on the date of such prepayment, and any other out-of-pocket third-party fees and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with such prepayment and will notify Borrowers of such amounts.  Each such prepayment of the Loan and other amounts payable in connection with such prepayment shall be allocated among all Lenders in proportion to the Obligations owing to them.

4853-5990-8115\14


 

(iv)The Lenders may elect, in their sole and absolute discretion, not to accept any prepayment required under clauses (b)(i) or (b)(ii) of this Section (or any portion thereof) by providing notice to the Administrative Agent who shall then promptly provide notice to Borrowers, in which case, such prepayment (or any portion thereof) shall not be required under clauses (b)(i) or (b)(ii) of this Section; provided that such election by the Lenders shall only apply to such instance of prepayment (or any portion thereof) and not for future prepayments clauses (b)(i) or (b)(ii) of this Section thereafter.

2.04Repayment of Loan.  The outstanding principal balance of the Loan, all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other Obligations not previously paid shall be repaid on the Maturity Date (or such earlier date on which the Loan or portion of the Loan becomes due and payable as provided in the Loan Documents).  If the Loan becomes due and payable on or prior to a Yield Maintenance Termination Date whether on the Maturity Date, upon acceleration (whether by election or automatically), or on such other earlier date on which the Loan or portion of the Loan becomes due and payable as provided in the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to the Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law, including, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 8.01(f)), the applicable Yield Maintenance Amount shall be due and payable on such repayment date.  EACH LOAN PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE YIELD MAINTENANCE AMOUNT.  Each Loan Party expressly agrees (to the fullest extent that it may lawfully do so) that:  (A) the Yield Maintenance Amount is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) THE YIELD MAINTENANCE AMOUNT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE, AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED OR CONSIDERED TO BE, UNMATURED INTEREST ON THE LOAN OR OTHER AMOUNT AND NO LOAN PARTY SHALL ARGUE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE THAT THE YIELD MAINTENANCE AMOUNT CONSTITUTES UNMATURED INTEREST ON THE LOAN; (C) the Yield Maintenance Amount shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (D) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Yield Maintenance Amount; (E) each Loan Party shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph; and (F) in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages, the parties mutually agree that the Yield Maintenance Amount is a reasonable calculation of the Lenders’ lost profits as a result of any such prepayments and is not a penalty.

2.05Interest.  

(a)Applicable Interest Rate. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.05(b), the Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Rate.

(b)Default Rate.

4853-5990-8115\14


 

(i)If any amount payable by Borrowers under any Loan Document is not paid when due (or by the end of any applicable grace period following such due date), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.

(ii)While any Event of Default exists, interest will accrue on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, all past due Obligations (other than the principal amount of the Loan), including past due interest accrued on the Loan, at a fluctuating per annum interest rate equal to the Default Rate.

(iii)Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest) shall be due and payable upon demand, but not less frequently than each Interest Payment Date.

(c)Payment.  Interest on the Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date.  Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

2.06Fees.  Borrowers shall pay all fees and other amounts due under the Fee Letter in the amounts, to the payees and at the times specified in the Fee Letter.  Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent such fees as shall have been separately agreed upon in writing, if any, in the amounts and at the times so specified.  The foregoing fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.  

2.07Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate.  All computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis, as applicable, of a 365-day year and actual days elapsed on or with regard to the Loan.  Interest shall accrue on the Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on the Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid.  Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

2.08Evidence of Debt.  The portion of the Loan made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of business.  The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Loan made by the Lenders to Borrowers and the interest and payments thereon.  Any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations.  In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative

4853-5990-8115\14


 

Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.  Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent, Borrowers shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note, which shall evidence such Lender’s portion of the Loan as provided herein in addition to such accounts or records; provided, that such Notes to the other Lenders shall also be modified to reflect that no amount in excess of the then outstanding principal balance of all the Loans shall then be owing to the Lenders.  Each Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, amount and maturity of its Loan and payments with respect thereto.

2.09Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.  

(a)General.  All payments to be made by Borrowers shall be made without condition or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff.  Borrowers shall make or cause to be made all payments of principal of the Loan and all payments of interest, fees and other Obligations with respect to the Loan to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Secured Parties, by wire transfer or ACH in Dollars and in immediately available funds, to such account as to which the Administrative Agent may from time to time notify Borrowers in writing.  The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable Percentage in respect of the Loan (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender.  All payments received by the Administrative Agent after 4:00 p.m., Central time, on any day shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.  Except as provided in the definition of Maturity Date, if any payment to be made by Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(b)Payments by Borrowers; Presumptions by Administrative Agent.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrowers prior to the time at which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that Borrowers will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that Borrowers has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due.  In such event, if Borrowers has not in fact made such payment, then each of Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender, in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.  A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or Borrowers with respect to any amount owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c)Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent.  If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds in Dollars for the Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made

available to Borrowers by the Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Loan set forth in Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender, without interest.

(d)Obligations of Lenders Several.  The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make its Loan and to make payments pursuant to Section 10.04(d) are several and not joint.  The failure of any Lender to make any portion of the Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section 10.04(d) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its portion of the Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under Section 10.04(d).

(e)Funding Source.  Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds for its portion of the Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any portion of the Loan in any particular place or manner.

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

2.10Sharing of Payments by Lenders.  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of (a) Obligations in respect of the Loan due and payable to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its Applicable Percentage or (b) Obligations in respect of the Loan owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its Applicable Percentage then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loan of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of Obligations in respect of the Loan then due and payable to the Lenders or owing (but not due and payable) to the Lenders, as the case may be, provided that:

(i)if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and

(ii)the provisions of this Section 2.10 shall not be construed to apply to (a) any payment made by Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or (b) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loan to any assignee or participant, other than to Borrowers thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section 2.10 shall apply).

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

2.11Release of Funds from the Loss Proceeds Account.  The Loss Proceeds Account shall be under the sole and exclusive control of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of an Account Control Agreement.  Provided the conditions applicable to the use of Extraordinary Receipts to pay for the repair and restoration of a Project following a casualty or condemnation set forth in Section 6.24 or Section 6.25, as applicable, are satisfied, funds in the Loss Proceeds Account may be used to pay costs of repair/restoration as described in Section 6.24 or Section 6.25, as applicable, and as approved by the Administrative Agent, or shall otherwise be paid, prepaid or distributed as provided for in Section 6.24 or Section 6.25 hereof, as applicable.  No funds may be released or transferred from the Loss Proceeds Account unless approved by the Administrative Agent.

2.12Real Estate Tax Account.  The Real Estate Tax Account shall be under the sole and exclusive control of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of an Account Control Agreement.  Tax Funds shall be deposited by the Borrower into the Real Estate Tax Account in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.23 of this Agreement.  Other than the Minimum Real Estate Tax Account Funding, and for so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and the Borrowers have otherwise complied with the provisions of this Section 2.12, the Administrative Agent shall release any or all Tax Funds to the applicable Borrowers for the payment on behalf of the  Borrowers of Property Taxes for the Open-Air Projects; provided that evidence of payment in full in Dollars of each of the relevant Property Taxes with such Tax Funds shall be provided by the applicable Borrowers to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after each date on which such Tax Funds are so released (but only to the extent such evidence has not been previously so provided to the Administrative Agent). If the balance of the Real Estate Tax Account shall at any time be less than the Minimum Real Estate Tax Account Funding amount, Borrowers shall, within five (5) Business Days after notice thereof (or, if earlier, Borrowers' knowledge thereof), pay to the Administrative Agent in Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds an amount at least equal to the amount of such balance.  Borrowers shall furnish the Administrative Agent with all bills, statements and estimates for Property Taxes received by or available to a Borrowers at least thirty (30) days prior to the date on which such Property Taxes first become payable.    If the amount of the Tax Funds shall exceed the amounts due for Property Taxes, the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may either return any excess to the Real Estate Tax  Account or credit such excess against future payments to be made

with the Tax Funds.  The amounts in respect of Property Taxes in respect of each Open-Air Project that are deposited into the Real Estate Tax Account on the Closing Date shall be sufficient (when combined with the monthly deposits for Property Taxes) to fund the Real Estate Tax Account in order to pay the Property Taxes as they become due and payable.  Any Tax Funds remaining after Payment in Full shall be returned to Borrowers.

2.21Additional Matters Relating to Term SOFR.

(a)Index.  Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Term SOFR Rate is an index used by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for the determination of a rate of interest on loans and the Term SOFR Rate is not necessarily the lowest rate charged by the Administrative Agent or any Lender on other loans to its customers.  Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may make loans to other customers based upon other rates of interest.  The Administrative Agent will inform Borrowers of the then current Term SOFR Rate from time to time upon request by Borrowers.

(c)Conforming Changes Adjustment.  In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR and the Term SOFR Rate, the Administrative Agent will have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any Borrower or Lender or other party to this Agreement.  The Administrative Agent will notify Borrowers and Lenders from time to time of the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Rate.  The term “Conforming Changes” means, with respect to either the use or administration of Term SOFR or the

4853-5990-8115\14


 

Term SOFR Rate or the use, administration, adoption or implementation of any Benchmark Transition Event, any technical, administrative or operational changes (including changes to the definition of “Business Day”), timing and frequency of determining rates and making payments of interest, timing of borrowing requests or prepayment, conversion or continuation notices, the applicability and length of lookback periods, and other technical, administrative or operational matters) that the Administrative Agent decides may be appropriate to reflect the adoption and implementation of any such rate or to permit the use and administration thereof by the Administrative Agent in a manner substantially consistent with market practice (or, if the Administrative Agent decides that adoption of any portion of such market practice is not administratively feasible or if the Administrative Agent determines that no market practice for the administration of any such rate exists, in such other manner of administration as the Administrative Agent decides is reasonably necessary in connection with the administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents).

(d)Unavailability of Term SOFR Rate.  If, in connection with the implementation and use of the Term SOFR Rate: (i) the Administrative Agent determines (which determination shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) that the “Term SOFR Rate” cannot be determined pursuant to the definition thereof, (ii) the Administrative Agent determines that the Term SOFR Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders, or (iii) the Administrative Agent determines that any applicable law has made it unlawful, or that any governmental authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable lending office to make, maintain or fund loans or advances whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon SOFR, Term SOFR or the Term SOFR Rate; then, upon notice of any such occurrence or determination by the Administrative Agent to Borrowers, any obligation of the Lenders to make available the Term SOFR Rate, and any right of Borrowers to use the Term SOFR Rate, shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent revokes such notice.  

(e)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations.  The Administrative Agent will notify Borrowers of (i) the occurrence of any Benchmark Transition Event or the implementation of any change to the Benchmark Rate resulting from any term or provision of this Section 2.21 and (ii) the effectiveness of any Conforming Changes implemented in accordance with Section 2.21(c).  Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.21, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole and absolute discretion and without consent from any Borrower or any Lender or other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, except, in each case, as expressly required pursuant to this Section 2.21.

Article III

(a)Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes.  

(i)Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any Taxes.  If, however, applicable Laws require Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted in accordance with such Laws as determined by Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection (e) below.

(ii)If Borrowers or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes, from any payment, then (a) the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (b) the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the Code, and (c) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by Borrowers, shall be increased as necessary so that after any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or Lenders, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deduction been made.

(b)Payment of Other Taxes by Borrowers.  Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, Borrowers shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority; provided, however, that Borrowers shall have no liability hereunder in respect of penalties, interest and other liabilities attributable to any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes if such penalties, interest or other liabilities are attributable to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Lender.  A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability delivered to Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(ii)Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender shall, and does hereby, indemnify Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 30 days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for Borrowers or the Administrative Agent) incurred by or asserted against Borrowers or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a result of the failure by such Lender to deliver, or as a result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered by such Lender to Borrowers or the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (e).  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).  The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.

(d)Evidence of Payments.  Upon request by Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to a Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to Borrowers, the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.

(i)Each Lender shall deliver to Borrowers and to the Administrative Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (a) whether or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to Taxes, (b) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (c) such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by Borrowers, pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.

(ii)Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Borrowers are residents for tax purposes in the United States,

(A)any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to Borrowers and the Administrative Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or reasonably requested by Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and

(B)each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver to Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the request of Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the following is applicable:

(V)executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal withholding tax together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws to permit Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made.

(iii)Each Lender shall promptly (a) notify Borrowers and the Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (b) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that Borrowers or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to such Lender.

(f)Treatment of Certain Refunds.  Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender any refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender.  If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by Borrowers, or with respect to which Borrowers, have paid additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to Borrowers an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by Borrowers under this Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that Borrowers, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to Borrowers (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the

4853-5990-8115\14


 

Administrative Agent or such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to Borrowers or any other Person.

3.02Increased Costs.  

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

(i)impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender;

(ii)subject any Lender to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Loan made by it, or change the basis of taxation of payments to such Lender in respect thereof (except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender); or

(iii)impose on any Lender any other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or the Loan made by such Lender;

and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any such Loan, or to increase the cost to such Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) of making or maintaining any such Loan, then, upon the written request of such Lender made in accordance with subsection (c) below Borrowers will pay to such Lender, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.

(b)Capital Requirements.  If any Lender determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the applicable Lending Office of such Lender or Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loan made by such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), by an amount which such Lender deems to be material, then from time to time, following written request by such Lender in accordance with subsection (c) below, Borrowers will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for such reduction.

4853-5990-8115\14


 

(c)Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section, stating in reasonable detail the basis for such compensation and the method of computation, and delivered to Borrowers is required in order for the Lender to be compensated under such subsection and shall be presumed correct absent manifest error.  Borrowers shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 30 days after receipt thereof, absent manifest error or a good faith dispute.  Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 3.02, no Lender shall demand compensation for any increased cost, charge or reduction under Section 3.02(b) if it shall not at the time be the general policy of such Lender to demand such compensation in similar circumstances under comparable provisions of its other lending agreements generally, and each Lender shall in good faith endeavor to allocate increased costs or reductions fairly among all of its affected commitments and credit extensions (whether or not it seeks compensation from Borrowers).

(d)Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand such compensation, provided that Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than 90 days prior to the date that such Lender notifies Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the 90-day period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof, not to exceed six months).

3.03Mitigation Obligations.  

(a)Designation of a Different Lending Office.  If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.02, or Borrowers are required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02, then such Lender shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loan hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.02, as the case may be, in the future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and (ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.  Borrowers hereby agree to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignments (excluding any costs related to a physical relocation of a Lending Office).

(ii)Any material portion of any of the Projects shall be abandoned or construction or operation thereof shall be suspended for a period of more than sixty (60) consecutive days for any reason; or

(iii)Any Borrower shall fail to obtain any material Permit necessary or reasonably required for the construction, ownership, leasing, maintenance or operation of a Project or any Permit necessary or reasonably required for the construction, ownership, leasing, maintenance or operation of the affected portion of a Project shall be materially modified, revoked, canceled or not renewed by a Governmental Authority (or otherwise ceases to be in full force and effect), and such failure, modification, revocation, cancellation or non-renewal continues for a period of more than thirty (30) days; or

(iv)Any Loan Party shall default under or fail to perform any of its obligations under a Material Contract beyond notice and cure periods afforded to such Loan Party; provided, however, such event shall not be deemed an Event of Default if such Loan Party is contesting in good faith such default and provides evidence of such contest to the Administrative Agent within thirty (30) days after written notice of such default, which evidence shall be approved by Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion.

8.02Remedies upon Event of Default.  If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders, take any or all of the following actions:

Accounts or being held for deposit to each of the Accounts, without further notice to or consent of any Borrower;

provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an order for relief with respect to any Loan Party under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, or otherwise upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 8.01(f), the unpaid principal amount of the Loan and all interest, all Yield Maintenance Amounts and other amounts as aforesaid and Obligations shall automatically become due and payable, without further act of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any other Person.

EACH LOAN PARTY EXPRESSLY WAIVES (TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY LAWFULLY DO SO) THE PROVISIONS OF ANY PRESENT OR FUTURE STATUTE OR LAW THAT PROHIBITS OR MAY PROHIBIT THE COLLECTION OF THE YIELD MAINTENANCE AMOUNT IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION.  Each Loan Party expressly agrees (to the fullest extent that it may lawfully do so) that:  (A) the Yield Maintenance Amount is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) THE YIELD MAINTENANCE AMOUNT DOES NOT CONSTITUTE, AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED OR CONSIDERED TO BE, UNMATURED INTEREST ON THE LOAN OR OTHER AMOUNT AND NO LOAN PARTY SHALL ARGUE UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE THAT THE YIELD MAINTENANCE AMOUNT CONSTITUTES UNMATURED INTEREST ON ANY LOAN; (C) the Yield Maintenance Amount shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (D) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Loan Parties giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Yield Maintenance Amount; (E) each Loan Party shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph; and (F) in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages the parties mutually agree that the Yield Maintenance Amount is a reasonable calculation of Lenders’ lost profits as a result of any such acceleration and not a penalty.

8.03Appropriate Proceedings; Remedies Cumulative.  The Administrative Agent, on behalf of itself and the Secured Parties, may protect and enforce their respective rights under the Loan Documents by any appropriate proceedings, including proceedings for specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in any Loan Document.  All rights, remedies and powers conferred upon the Administrative Agent or any of the other Secured Parties under the Loan Documents or by applicable Laws shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights, remedies or powers available to such Person or any other Secured Party under the Loan Documents or pursuant to applicable Law. All notice and cure periods provided in this Agreement or in any other Loan Document shall run concurrently with any notice or cure periods provided by applicable Law.

First, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and amounts payable under Article III) payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such;

Second, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the respective Lenders) arising under the Loan Documents and amounts payable under Article III, ratably among them in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;

Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest, and Yield Maintenance Amount on the Loan and other Obligations, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Third payable to each Lender;

Article IX
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.01Appointment and Authority.  

(a)Each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints CLMG Corp. to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  The provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and no Borrower or any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third party beneficiary of any of such provisions, provided however, Borrowers and each Loan Party shall be entitled to rely on any document that is signed by the Administrative Agent as authorized by all necessary actions on the part of the Lenders and shall be conclusively presumed to be the act and deed of the Lenders.

4853-5990-8115\14


 

(b)The Administrative Agent shall also act as the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.  In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.05 for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article IX and Article X (including Section 10.04(c), as though such co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.

9.02Rights as a Lender.  The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity.  Such Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrowers or any Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.

9.03Exculpatory Provisions.  The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:

(a)shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;

(b)shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law;

(c)shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to Borrowers or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;

Credit Agreement dated JUNE 7, 2022 by and among Borrowers, CBL Outparcel HoldCo, LLC and CBL & Associates Limited Partnership, as Guarantors, CLMG Corp., as Administrative Agent, and Beal Bank USA, as Initial Lender, and the other lenders party hereto (CBL)

4853-5990-8115\14


 

(d)shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct;

(e)shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent by Borrowers or a Lender; and

(f)shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or the creation, perfection or priority of any Lien purported to be created by the Collateral Documents, (v) the value or the sufficiency of any Collateral, or (vi) the satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.

9.04Reliance by Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person.  The Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon.  In determining compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan.  The Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrowers), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

9.05Delegation of Duties.  The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through their respective Related Parties.  The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any such sub-agent, and shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit facility provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.

4853-5990-8115\14


 

9.06Resignation of Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and Borrowers.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with Borrowers (provided no Default then exists), to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify Borrowers and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice and (a) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (b) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to  each Lender directly, until such time as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section).  The fees payable by Borrowers to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between Borrowers and such successor.  After the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.  Until Borrowers receive written notice that Administrative Agent has been replaced, Borrowers may (without inquiry) rely on all actions taken or consents given by CLMG Corp. as “Administrative Agent” hereunder.

9.07Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.

4853-5990-8115\14


 

9.08Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of the Loan shall then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrowers) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a)to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loan and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(b)to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, if the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.09 and 10.04.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of any Lender to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or in any such proceeding.

9.09Collateral Matters.  Each of the Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and Payment in Full of all Obligations, (ii) that is Disposed of or to be Disposed as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or (iii)  if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 10.01,

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property pursuant to this Section 9.09.  In each case as specified in this Section 9.09, the Administrative Agent will, at Borrowers’ expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the Lien granted under the Collateral Documents, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 9.09.

10.01Amendments, Etc.  No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and no consent to any departure by Borrowers or any other Loan Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by Required Lenders and Borrowers or the applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or consent shall:

10.03No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement.  No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.  The rights, remedies, powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Loan Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (b) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.10), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and (ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b) and (c) of the preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.10, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

(c)Third Party Administrative Agent.  Each Indemnitee is an express third party beneficiary under this Agreement, each entitled to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.

rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned.

(iii)Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A)the consent of Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed and which consent shall be deemed to have been given if not given within five (5) Business Days after such request for consent is sent to Borrowers) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment, (2) such assignment is to Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender or any Approved Fund or (3) the assignment is required by a regulatory authority, self-regulatory authority or other Governmental Authority; and

Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Article III and Sections 10.04 and 10.09, with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.  Upon request, Borrowers (at their expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender and, if the assignment is not of the assignor Lender’s entire interest in the Loan, a replacement Note to the assignor Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with Section 10.06(d).

(c)Register.  The Administrative Agent shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loan owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Loan Parties and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d)Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or any Loan Party or any Affiliate or Subsidiary of any Loan Party) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loan owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lender shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to Section 10.01 that affects such Participant.  Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article III to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to Section 10.06(b), provided, that (x) any such payment shall subject the Lender granting such participation to replacement pursuant to Section 10.13 and (y) any such payment shall not exceed the amount Borrowers would have been required to pay hereunder to the Lender had it not granted such participation.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant

Credit Agreement dated JUNE 7, 2022 by and among Borrowers, CBL Outparcel HoldCo, LLC and CBL & Associates Limited Partnership, as Guarantors, CLMG Corp., as Administrative Agent, and Beal Bank USA, as Initial Lender, and the other lenders party hereto (CBL)

4853-5990-8115\14


 

agrees to be subject to Section 2.10 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loan or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any participant or any information relating to a participant’s interest in any obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

(e)Limitations upon Participant Rights.  A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Article III than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with Borrowers’ prior written consent.  A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless Borrowers are notified of the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of Borrowers, to comply with Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

(f)Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank or Federal Home Loan Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

10.07Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or

Credit Agreement dated JUNE 7, 2022 by and among Borrowers, CBL Outparcel HoldCo, LLC and CBL & Associates Limited Partnership, as Guarantors, CLMG Corp., as Administrative Agent, and Beal Bank USA, as Initial Lender, and the other lenders party hereto (CBL)

4853-5990-8115\14


 

derivative transaction relating to any Borrower and its obligations, (g) with the consent of any Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than Borrowers and not then known to be under any duty of confidentiality to a Loan Party or its Affiliate.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all material, non-public or proprietary information received from any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary thereof, provided that, in the case of information received from a Loan Party or any such Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

10.08Right of Setoff.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, after obtaining the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the obligations of any Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of any Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness.  The rights of each Lender and its respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or its respective Affiliates may have.  Each Lender agrees to notify Borrowers and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.

10.09Interest Rate Limitation.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”).  If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loan or, if it exceeds such unpaid principal, refunded to Borrowers.  In determining whether the interest contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments

and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder, in each case, provided, that the Loan Parties are not thereby required to make any greater payments hereunder than would be required prior to such action.

10.10Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof.  Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.

10.11Survival of Representations and Warranties.  All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.  Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of any Default at the time of the initial Loan, and shall continue in full force and effect as long as the Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied.

10.12Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions.  The invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

10.13Borrowers’ Representative.  Each of the Borrowers hereby appoints Borrowers’ Representative to act as its exclusive agent for all purposes under the Loan Documents (including without limitation, all matters related to any borrowing of or any repayment of the Loan).  Each of the Borrowers acknowledges and agrees that (a) Borrowers’ Representative may execute such documents on behalf of any Borrower as Borrowers’ Representative deems appropriate in its sole discretion and each Borrower shall be bound by and obligated by all terms of any such document executed by Borrowers’ Representative on its behalf, (b) any notice or other communication delivered by the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder to Borrowers’ Representative shall be deemed to have been delivered to each of the Borrowers, as applicable and (c) the

(ii) any agreement providing for an equitable allocation among such Borrower and other affiliates of any Loan Party of Obligations arising under guarantees by such parties.

(b)Subject to the provisions of clause (c) of this Section 10.23, without limitation to any and all of the obligations and liabilities of the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, each Borrower hereby agrees that to the extent that a Borrower shall have paid more than its proportionate share of any payment made hereunder, such Borrower shall be entitled to seek and receive contribution from and against any other Borrower hereunder which has not paid its proportionate share of such payment. Nonetheless, each Borrower shall remain liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on a joint and several basis, for the full amount of the Obligations.  

(c)Until Payment in Full of the Obligations, each Borrower shall withhold exercise of any right of subrogation, contribution or any other right to enforce any remedy which it now has or may hereafter have against the other Borrowers or any other guarantor of the Obligations. Each Borrower further agrees that, to the extent the waiver of its rights of subrogation, contribution and remedies as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any such rights such Borrower may have against the other Borrowers, any collateral or security or any such other Loan Party, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have against the other Borrowers, any such collateral or security, and any such other Loan Party.

(d)Each Borrower hereby waives, for the benefit of the Secured Parties: (1) any right to require any Secured Parties, as a condition of payment or performance by such Borrower, to (i) proceed against any other Borrower or any other Person, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security held from any other Borrower or any other Person, (iii) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of any Secured Party in favor of any other Borrower or any other Person, or (iv) pursue any other remedy in the power of any Secured Party whatsoever; (2) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of any other Borrower, including any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of any other Borrower from any cause other than Payment in Full of the Obligations; (3) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (4) any defense based upon any Secured Party’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Obligations, except behavior which amounts to willful misconduct; (5) (i) any principles or provisions of Laws, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms hereof and any legal or equitable discharge of such Borrower’s Obligations hereunder, (ii) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Borrower’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (iii) any rights to set-offs, recoupments, recharacterization and counterclaims, and (iv) promptness, diligence and any requirement that any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure

(e)The Obligations of Borrowers hereunder shall not, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, be affected by (i) the failure of the Administrative Agent or a Lender to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against any other Loan Party under the provisions of this agreement or any other Loan Document or otherwise; (ii) any extension or renewal of any provision hereof or thereof; (iii) any rescission, waiver, compromise, acceleration, amendment or modification of any of the terms or provisions of any of the Loan Documents; (iv) the release, exchange, waiver or foreclosure of any security held by the Administrative Agent for the Obligations or any of them; (v) the failure of the Administrative Agent or a Lender to exercise any right or remedy against any other Loan Party; or (vi) the release or substitution of any Collateral or any other Loan Party.

(f)To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, each Borrower hereby waives any defense that it might have based on a failure to remain informed of the financial condition of the other Borrowers and of any other Loan Party and any circumstances affecting the ability of Borrowers to perform under this Agreement.

(g)Each Borrower further agrees that its Obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation is rescinded or must otherwise be restored by the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Secured Party upon the bankruptcy or reorganization of any or all of the other Borrowers or otherwise.

Insurance Requirements

 

(a)Unless otherwise agreed to by Lender in its reasonable discretion, Borrower, at its sole cost and expense, shall obtain and maintain during the entire Term, or cause to be maintained, insurance policies for Borrower and the Project providing at least the following coverages:

(i)property insurance against loss or damage by fire, wind (including named storms), lightning and such other perils as are included in a standard “all risk” or “special form” policy, including riot and civil commotion, vandalism, terrorist acts, malicious mischief, burglary and theft, in each case (A) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the “Full Replacement Cost” of the Project, which for purposes of this Agreement shall mean actual replacement value (exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings) waiving depreciation.  The Full Replacement Cost must be adjusted annually to reflect increased value due to inflation and improvements.  If this is not provided, Inflation Guard Coverage shall be required; (B) written on a no co-insurance form or containing an agreed amount endorsement with respect to the Improvements and, if applicable, personal property at the Project waiving all co-insurance provisions; (C) providing for no deductible in excess of $100,000.00 (except for deductibles for windstorm, earthquake, water damage and flood coverage, which deductibles may be up to five percent (5%) of the total insurable value of the Project); and (D) containing “Ordinance or Law Coverage” if any of the Improvements or the use of the Project shall at any time constitute legal non-conforming structures or uses, including coverage for Loss to the Undamaged Portion, Demolition Costs and Increased Cost of Construction, all in amounts reasonably acceptable to Lender.  In addition, Borrowers shall obtain:  (x) flood insurance in an amount and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender; (y) if any portion of the Improvements is currently or at any time in the future located in a federally designated “special flood hazard area”, flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the maximum amount of such insurance available under the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended; and (z) earthquake insurance in amounts and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, provided that the insurance pursuant to clauses (x), (y) and (z) hereof shall be on terms consistent with the comprehensive all-risk insurance policy required under this subsection (i);

(ii)commercial general liability insurance, which includes coverage for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Project, such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form and containing minimum limits per occurrence of One Million and No/100 Dollars ($1,000,000.00), with a combined limit per policy year, excluding umbrella coverage, of not less than Two Million and No/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00) applying “per location” if the policy covers more than one location; (B) to continue at not less than the aforesaid limit until required to be changed by Lender by reason of changed economic conditions making such protection inadequate; and (C) to cover at least the following hazards:  (1) premises and operations; (2) products and completed operations on an “if any” basis; (3) independent contractors; (4) contractual liability for all insured contracts; and (5) contractual liability covering the indemnities contained in Article 8 of the Mortgage to the extent the same is available;

Schedule 4.01(a)(xviii) – CBL

4873-9001-7310\2


 

(iii)rental loss and/or business income interruption insurance (A) with loss payable to Lender; (B) covering all risks required to be covered by the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above, subsections (iv) (if applicable), subsection (vi), subsection (x) and Section (h) below; (C) containing an extended period of indemnity endorsement which provides the continued loss of income shall be insured until such income either returns to the same level it was at prior to the loss, or the expiration of twelve (12) months from the date that the Project is repaired or replaced and operations are resumed, whichever first occurs, and notwithstanding that the policy may expire prior to the end of such period; and (D) in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the projected Gross Revenue from the Project for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of the Casualty.  The amount of such business income insurance shall be determined prior to the date hereof and at least once each year thereafter based on Borrower’s reasonable estimate of the Gross Revenue from the Project for the succeeding twelve (12) month period.  Subject to Section 5.2.3(b), all proceeds payable to Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be held by Lender and shall be applied to the (1) Obligations secured by the Loan Documents from time to time due and payable hereunder and under the Note and (2) to Borrower in an amount up to the Monthly Operating Expenses incurred by the applicable Borrower for the Project; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be deemed to relieve Borrowers of their Obligations to pay the Debt on the respective dates of payment provided for in the Loan Documents except to the extent such amounts are actually paid out of the proceeds of such business income insurance;

(iv)at all times during which structural construction, repairs or alterations are being made with respect to the Improvements, and only if the property and liability coverage forms do not otherwise apply, coverage all in form and substance and with limits, terms and conditions reasonably acceptable to Lender including (A) commercial general liability and umbrella liability insurance covering claims related to the construction, repairs or alterations being made which are not covered by or under the terms or provisions of the commercial general liability and umbrella liability insurance policies required in this section (a); and (B) the insurance provided for in subsection (i) above written in a so-called builder’s risk completed value form, including coverage for one hundred percent (100%) of the total insurable costs of construction (1) on a non-reporting basis, (2) against all risks insured against pursuant to subsections (i), (iii), (vi), (x) and section (h), (3) including permission to occupy the Project, and (4) with an agreed amount endorsement waiving co-insurance provisions;

(v)workers’ compensation, subject to the statutory limits of the State in which the Project is located, and employer’s liability insurance with limits of $1,000,000.00;

(vi)boiler and machinery/equipment breakdown insurance in amounts as shall be reasonably required by Lender on terms consistent with the commercial property insurance Policy required under subsection (i) above (if applicable);

(vii)umbrella or excess liability insurance in addition to primary coverage in an amount not less than One Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($100,000,000.00) per occurrence on terms consistent with the commercial general liability insurance policy required under subsection (ii) and, if applicable, the Policies required in subsection (v) above and (viii) below;

Schedule 4.01(a)(xviii) – CBL

4873-9001-7310\2


 

(viii)commercial auto liability coverage for all owned and non-owned vehicles, including rented and leased vehicles containing minimum limits per occurrence, including umbrella coverage, with limits of $1,000,000.00;

(ix)intentionally omitted; and

(x)upon sixty (60) days’ notice, such other insurance and in such amounts as Lender from time to time may reasonably request that is commercially available against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for properties similar to the Project located in or around the region in which the Project is located.

(b)All insurance provided for in section (a) shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (collectively, the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”) and shall be subject to the approval of Lender as to form and substance including deductibles, loss payees and insured parties.  Not less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Lender, certificates of insurance and, if requested by Lender, other documentation, in each case acceptable to Lender evidencing the Policies, accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Lender of payment of the premiums then due thereunder (the “Insurance Premiums”), shall be delivered by Borrowers to Lender.

(c)Any blanket insurance Policy shall provide the same protection as would a separate Policy insuring only the Project in compliance with the provisions of section (a).  Lender shall have determined based on a review of the schedule of locations and values that the amount of such coverage is sufficient in light of the other risks and properties insured under the blanket policy.

(d)All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by section (a) shall name Borrowers as a named insured and, in the case of liability coverages (except for the Policies referenced in sections (a)(v) and (viii)) shall name Lender and its successors and/or assigns as the additional insured, as its interests may appear, and in the case of property coverages, including but not limited to boiler and machinery, terrorism, flood and earthquake insurance, shall contain a standard non-contributing mortgagee/lender’s loss payable clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender (subject to the provisions of Section 6.24 of the Loan Agreement).  Additionally, if Borrowers obtain property insurance coverage in addition to or in excess of that required by section (a)(i), then such insurance policies shall also contain a standard non-contributing mortgagee/lender’s loss payable clause in favor of Lender providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Lender.

(e)All property insurance Policies provided for in section (a) shall:

(i)provide that no act or negligence of Borrowers or any other insured under the Policy, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy, which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, or foreclosure or similar action, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Lender is concerned;

Schedule 4.01(a)(xviii) – CBL

4873-9001-7310\2


 

(ii)provide that the Policy shall not be canceled without at least thirty (30) days’ written notice to Lender, except ten (10) days’ notice for non-payment of Insurance Premiums and, if obtainable by Borrowers using commercially reasonable efforts, shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby) without such a thirty (30) day notice; and

(iii)not contain any provision that would make Lender liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder, except that Lender is permitted to make payments to effect the continuation of such Policy upon notice of cancellation due to non-payment of Insurance Premiums pursuant to the mortgagee clause required herein.

(f)If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, or Borrowers shall fail to deliver certificates of insurance and, if requested by Lender, other documentation evidencing  the Policies, evidence of payment and any other information required by section (b), no less than ten (10) days prior to the expiration date of any Policies, Lender shall have the right, after notice to Borrowers, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in the Project, including the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Lender in its reasonable discretion deems appropriate and all Insurance Premiums incurred by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrowers to Lender upon demand and until paid shall be secured by the Mortgage and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.  Borrowers shall promptly forward to Lender a copy of each written notice received by Borrowers of any material modification or reduction or any cancellation of any of the Policies or of any of the coverages afforded under any of the Policies.

(g)In the event of foreclosure of the Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Project in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Obligations, all right, title and interest of Borrowers in and to the Policies that are not blanket Policies then in force concerning the Project and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest in the purchaser at such foreclosure or Lender or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

(h)If any of the property, rental loss and/or business interruption, commercial general liability or umbrella Policies include any exclusions for loss, cost, damage or liability caused by “terrorism” or “terrorist acts”, Borrower shall obtain and maintain terrorism coverage to cover such exclusion(s) from an insurer which otherwise satisfies the rating criteria specified in section (i) below (a “Qualified Insurer”) or, in the event that such commercially reasonable terrorism coverage is not available from a Qualified Insurer, Borrowers shall obtain such terrorism coverage from the highest rated insurance company providing such terrorism coverage.

(i)All Policies required pursuant to section (a) (a) shall be issued by companies authorized to do business in the State with a financial strength and claims paying ability rating of “AA” or better by S&P or “A, XII” or better by A.M. Best; (b) shall, with respect to the property, rental loss and/or business interruption, commercial general liability and umbrella Policies, contain a waiver of subrogation against Lender; (c) shall contain such provisions as Lender deems reasonably necessary or desirable to protect its interest including endorsements providing that neither Borrowers, Lender nor any other party shall be a co-insurer under said Policies; and (d) shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Lender.  Certified copies of the Policies

Schedule 4.01(a)(xviii) – CBL

4873-9001-7310\2


 

shall be delivered to Lender on the date hereof with respect to the current Policies and within thirty (30) days after the effective date thereof with respect to all renewal Policies; provided, however, that if certified copies of the current Policies are not available on the date hereof, Borrowers shall deliver to Lender on the date hereof documentation acceptable to Lender evidencing such Policies and shall deliver to Lender certified copies of such Policies within ten (10) days after such Policies are available.  Borrowers shall pay the Insurance Premiums annually in advance as the same become due and payable and shall furnish to Lender evidence of the renewal of each of the Policies with receipts for the payment of the Insurance Premiums or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender.  In addition to the insurance coverages described in section (a) above, Borrowers shall obtain such other insurance as may from time to time be reasonably required by Lender and commercially available in order to protect its interests.  Within thirty (30) days after request by Lender, Borrowers shall obtain such increases in the amounts of coverage required hereunder as may be reasonably requested by Lender and commercially available, taking into consideration changes in the value of money over time, changes in liability laws, changes in prudent customs and practices, and the like.

________, 2022

 

[List Borrowers], (collectively, the “Borrowers”), for value received, hereby unconditionally promise to pay to the order of BEAL BANK USA, a Nevada thrift, or its assigns (the “Payee”) the principal amount of THREE HUNDRED SIXTY MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($360,000,000.00), together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and all other amounts due or to become due under or in respect of the Loan Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined)), to be computed from the date of this Note (as hereinafter defined) in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement and the terms set forth herein and therein.

This Promissory Note (this “Note”) is executed and delivered by the Borrowers pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof, among the Borrowers, Payee, each other lender from time to time party thereto (collectively, the “Lenders”) and CLMG Corp., in its capacity as administrative agent for the Lenders (the “Administrative Agent”), as such agreement may be amended, restated, renewed, extended or otherwise modified from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”). All capitalized terms used in this Note but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms by the Credit Agreement.

Principal of and interest accrued on this Note shall be due and payable at the times and in the amounts provided in the Credit Agreement; provided that all such amounts, if not sooner due and payable, shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. The unpaid principal amount of this Note shall bear interest at the rate(s) set forth in the Credit Agreement, which rate shall be the Default Rate at all times after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default. This Note is issued pursuant to and evidences the Loan made under the Credit Agreement, to which reference is made for a statement of the rights and obligations of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and the duties and obligations of the Borrowers and the Guarantors. The Credit Agreement contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity of this Note upon the happening of certain stated events.

The holder of this Note is hereby authorized by the Borrowers to record on a schedule annexed to this Note (or on a supplemental schedule) the date and amount of the portion of the Loan made by the applicable Lender to the undersigned and the date and amount of each repayment of principal thereof. Failure to make any such notation, however, shall not affect the rights of the holder of this Note or any obligations of the Borrowers hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents.

The Borrowers and all endorsers, sureties and guarantors of this Note hereby jointly and severally forever waive demand, presentment for payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of intention to accelerate and acceleration of the maturity of this Note, diligence in collecting, the bringing of any suit against any party, and any notice of or defense on account of any extensions, renewals, partial payments or changes in any manner of or in this Note or in any of its terms, provisions and covenants, or any releases or substitutions of any security, or any delay, indulgence

or other act of any agent or trustee or any holder hereof, whether before or after maturity. The Borrowers agree to pay, and to save the holder of this Note harmless against any liability for the payment of, all costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees) if this Note is collected by or through an attorney-at-law to the extent required under the Credit Agreement.

In no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the holder of this Note for the use, forbearance or detention of money advanced hereunder exceed the Maximum Rate. If any such excess amount is paid by the Borrowers or inadvertently contracted for, charged or received by the holder of this Note, such excess shall be returned to the Borrowers or credited as a payment of principal, in accordance with the Credit Agreement. It is the intention of the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that the Borrowers not pay or contract to pay, and that the holder of this Note not receive or contract to receive, directly or indirectly in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be paid by the Borrowers under applicable Law.

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

NATURE AND SCOPE OF GUARANTY

1.1Guaranty and Agreement to be Primarily Obligated.

(a)Guaranty of Payment.  Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees to Secured Parties and their successors and assigns the payment of the Guaranteed Debt as and when the same shall be due and payable under the Loan Documents, whether by lapse of time, by acceleration of maturity or otherwise.  Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally covenants and agrees that Guarantor is liable for the Guaranteed Debt as a primary obligor.

(b)Guaranty of Performance. Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees to Secured Parties the full, complete and timely performance of all of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, without limitation, that Borrowers will duly and punctually perform, observe and comply with all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Credit Agreement, the Lien Instruments, the Environmental Indemnity and the other Loan Documents, whether according to the present terms thereof, at any earlier or accelerated date or dates as provided therein, or pursuant to any extension of time or to any change or changes in the terms, covenants or conditions thereof now or hereafter made or granted.  If any of the Guaranteed Obligations are not complied with or performed in any respect whatsoever beyond any applicable notice and cure period, and without the necessity of any notice from any Secured Party to Guarantor, Guarantor agrees to (i) assume all responsibility for the full, complete and timely performance of the Guaranteed Obligations and, at Guarantor’s own cost and expense, to perform and cause performance of all the Guaranteed Obligations in strict accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents; and (ii) INDEMNIFY, DEFEND AND HOLD SECURED PARTIES HARMLESS FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LOSS, COST, LIABILITY OR EXPENSE THAT ANY SECURED PARTY MAY SUFFER BY ANY REASON OF ANY SUCH NONCOMPLIANCE OR NONPERFORMANCE.  Guarantor further acknowledges and agrees that Guarantor may be required to perform the Guaranteed Obligations in full without assistance or support from any Borrower or any other Person.  Guarantor agrees that if all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be punctually performed when and as stated in the Loan Documents, Guarantor shall, immediately upon demand by any Secured Party (provided, however, that the failure of any Secured Party to make such demand shall neither relieve nor discharge Guarantor in any respect of its Guaranteed Obligations under this Guaranty, any condition or requirement of such demand to Guarantor’s liability under this Guaranty being hereby waived by Guarantor), perform the Guaranteed Obligations.  Secured Parties may, but shall have no obligation to, make demand(s) at any time coincident with or after the time for performance of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and demand(s) may be made from time to time with respect to the same or different items of the Guaranteed Obligations.

by or against any Borrower or Guarantor (but in no way in limitation on the obligations set forth in Sections 1.2(a) and (b) above).

(d)In addition to, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing Section 1.2(c), and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Guaranty or in any of the other Loan Documents, Guarantor hereby assumes liability as a primary obligor for and hereby acknowledges and unconditionally agrees that Guarantor shall be fully and personally liable for an amount equal to the then outstanding balance of the Loan plus accrued and unpaid interest thereupon.

(e)[Reserved]

(f)Notwithstanding anything contained in this Guaranty to the contrary, the obligations of Guarantor under this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state law (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of Guarantor, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of Guarantor in respect of intercompany indebtedness to any Borrower or other affiliates of any Borrower to the extent that such indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by Guarantor hereunder, pursuant to which the liability of Guarantor hereunder is included in the liabilities taken into account in determining such maximum amount) and after giving effect as assets to the value (as determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution of Guarantor pursuant to applicable law or pursuant to the terms of any agreement.

1.3Additional Defined Terms.

(a)Borrower”:  The term “Borrower” as used herein shall include any new or successor corporation, association, partnership (general or limited), limited liability company, joint venture, trust or other individual or organization formed as a result of any merger, reorganization, sale, transfer, devise, gift or bequest of such Borrower or any interest in such Borrower.

EXHIBIT E-1 – CBL

(d)Undefined Terms:  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this Guaranty shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.

1.4Nature of Guaranty.  This Guaranty is an irrevocable, absolute, continuing guaranty of payment and performance and not a guaranty of collection.  This Guaranty may not be revoked by Guarantor and shall continue to be effective with respect to any Guaranteed Obligations arising or created after any attempted revocation by Guarantor.  The fact that at any time or from time to time the Obligations may be increased, reduced or paid in full shall not release, discharge or reduce the obligation of Guarantor to Lenders with respect to any indebtedness or obligations of any Borrower thereafter incurred (or other Obligations thereafter arising) under the Loan Documents or otherwise.  This Guaranty may be enforced by any Secured Party and any subsequent holder of the Loan Documents and shall not be discharged by the assignment, sale, pledge, transfer, participation or negotiation of all or part of the Loan Documents.

1.5Guaranteed Obligations Not Reduced by Offset.  The Guaranteed Obligations and the Liabilities and obligations of Guarantor to Secured Parties hereunder shall not be reduced, discharged or released because or by reason of any existing or future offset, claim or defense of any Borrower, or any other Person, against any Secured Party or against payment or performance of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether such offset, claim or defense arises in connection with the Guaranteed Obligations (or the transactions creating the Guaranteed Obligations) or otherwise and Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, by any defense, right of offset or other claim which Guarantor may have against any Secured Party.  Without limiting the foregoing or Guarantor’s liability hereunder, to the extent that Lenders advance funds or extend credit to any Borrower, and do not receive payment thereon in the amounts and at the times required or provided by applicable agreements or Laws, Guarantor is absolutely liable to make such payments to Lenders, on a timely basis.

1.6Payment and Performance by Guarantor.  If all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations shall not be punctually paid and performed when arising and/or due, whether at demand, maturity or earlier by acceleration or otherwise, Guarantor shall, within ten (10) days after its receipt of written demand from Administrative Agent on behalf of any Secured Party, and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, notice of nonpayment or nonperformance, notice of intention to accelerate the maturity, notice of acceleration of the maturity, or any other notice whatsoever (all such notices being hereby expressly waived by Guarantor), pay in lawful money of the United States of America, the amount arising and/or due on the Guaranteed Obligations to Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties to Administrative Agent’s account as provided in the Credit Agreement.  Such demand may be made at any time coincident with or after

EXHIBIT E-1 – CBL

4873-9001-7310\2


 

the time for payment and performance of all or part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and may be made from time to time with respect to the same or different items of Guaranteed Obligations.  Such demand shall be deemed made, given and received in accordance with the notice provisions hereof.

1.7No Duty to Pursue Others.  It shall not be necessary for any Secured Party (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights which Guarantor may have to require any Secured Party), in order to enforce the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, first to (i) institute suit or exhaust [its] remedies against any Borrower or others liable on the Loan or the Obligations or any other Person, (ii) enforce Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s rights against any Collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan or any of the Obligations, (iii) enforce Secured Parties’ rights against any other guarantors of any of the Obligations, (iv) join any Borrower or any others liable on any of the Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty, (v) exhaust any remedies available to Secured Parties against any Collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan or any of the Obligations, or (vi) resort to any other means of obtaining payment and performance of any of the  Obligations.  Secured Parties shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Obligations.

1.8Agreement and Waiver of Notice.  Guarantor agrees to the provisions of the Loan Documents, and, to the extent permitted by Law, hereby waives notice of, and any rights of consent to (i) any loans or advances made by Lenders to any Borrower, (ii) acceptance of this Guaranty, (iii) any amendment or extension of the Lien Instruments, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iv) the execution and delivery by any Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders of any other loan or credit agreement or of any Borrower’s execution and delivery of any promissory notes or other documents, instruments or agreements arising under the Loan Documents or in connection with any Project, (v) the occurrence of any breach by any Borrower of any of the terms or conditions of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or the occurrence of any Event of Default, (vi) Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s transfer, sale, assignment, pledge, participation or disposition of the Obligations, or any part thereof, (vii) the sale or foreclosure (or the posting or advertising for the sale or foreclosure) of any Collateral for the Obligations, (viii) protest, proof of non‑payment or default by any Borrower, and (ix) any other action at any time taken or not taken by any Secured Party and, generally, all demands and notices (except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents) of every kind in connection with this Guaranty, the other Loan Documents, and any other documents, instruments or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Obligations.

1.9Payment of Expenses.  In the event that Guarantor should breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall, within ten (10) days after demand by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, pay Administrative Agent all fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by  any Secured Party in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of any Secured Party’s rights hereunder, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date the payment of such expenses is requested by Administrative Agent until the date Administrative Agent receives payment in full of such fees, costs and expenses.  The covenant contained in this Section shall survive the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.

EXHIBIT E-1 – CBL

4873-9001-7310\2


 

1.10Effect of Bankruptcy.  In the event that, pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws, or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, or any agreement, stipulation or settlement, any Secured Party must rescind or restore any payment, or any part thereof, received by any Secured Party in satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations, as set forth herein, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty given to Guarantor by any Secured Party shall be without effect, and this Guaranty shall remain (or shall be reinstated to be) in full force and effect.  It is the intention of Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by Guarantor’s payment or performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such payment or performance.

1.11Guarantor’s Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, Etc.; Subordination of Other Obligations.  Until Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall withhold exercise of (a) any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including without limitation (i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower, (ii) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Secured Party now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower, and (iii) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Secured Party and (b) any right of contribution Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any other guarantor of any of the Obligations.  Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification Guarantor may have against any Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights the Secured Parties may have against any Borrower, to all right, title and interest the Secured Parties may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right the Secured Parties may have against such other guarantor.

1.12Application of Payments.  If, at any time, there is any Indebtedness or Obligations of any Borrower to Administrative Agent or any Lender that is not guaranteed by Guarantor, Administrative Agent or any Lender, without in any manner impairing its rights hereunder, may, at its option, apply all amounts realized by Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Collateral or security held by Administrative Agent or any Lender first to the payment of such unguaranteed Indebtedness or Obligations, with the remaining amounts, if any, to then be applied to the payment of the Indebtedness or Obligations guaranteed by Guarantor.

1.13Multiple Guarantors.  If one or more additional guaranty agreements (“Other Guaranties”) are executed by one or more additional guarantors (“Other Guarantors”), which guaranty, in whole or in part, any of the indebtedness or obligations evidenced by the Loan Documents, it is specifically agreed that Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of this Guaranty or of the Other Guaranties with respect to one or more of the parties constituting Guarantor and/or one or more of the Other Guarantors under the Other Guaranties without seeking to enforce the provisions of this Guaranty or the Other Guaranties as to all or any of the parties constituting Guarantor or the Other Guarantors.

3.1Benefit.  Guarantor is the owner of a direct or indirect interest in each Borrower, and has received, or will receive, direct or indirect benefit from the making of the Loan to Borrowers.

3.2Familiarity and Reliance.  Guarantor is familiar with, and has independently reviewed books and records regarding, the financial condition of each Borrower and is familiar with the value of any and all Collateral intended to be created as security for the payment of the Obligations under the Loan Documents or payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations; provided, however, Guarantor is not relying on such financial condition or the Collateral as an inducement to enter into this Guaranty.

3.3No Representation by Administrative Agent or Lender.  Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender nor any other Secured Party has made any representation, warranty or statement to Guarantor in order to induce Guarantor to execute this Guaranty.

3.4Guarantor’s Financial Condition.  As of the date hereof, and after giving effect to this Guaranty and the contingent obligations evidenced hereby, Guarantor (A) has, and will have, Solvency, (B) has and will have assets which, fairly valued, exceed its obligations, liabilities

EXHIBIT E-1 – CBL

4873-9001-7310\2


 

(including contingent liabilities) and debts, and (C) has and will have property and assets sufficient to satisfy and repay its obligations, liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and debts, including, without limitation, the Guaranteed Obligations.

3.5Legality.  The execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder do not, and will not, contravene or conflict with any Law to which Guarantor is subject or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, charge, lien, or any contract, agreement or other instrument to which Guarantor is a party or which may be applicable to Guarantor.  This Guaranty is a legal and binding obligation of Guarantor and is enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other laws of general application relating to the enforcement of creditors’ rights and by general principles of equity.

3.6Liens.  Guarantor has not created, nor is the beneficiary of, any Liens encumbering any Project or any interest therein.

ARTICLE IV

SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS

4.1Subordination of All Guarantor Claims.  As used herein, the term “Guarantor Claims” shall mean all debts and liabilities of any Borrower to Guarantor, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or whether the obligations of such Borrower thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or liabilities are evidenced by note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons in whose favor such debts or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by Guarantor.  Guarantor Claims shall include, without limitation, all rights and claims of Guarantor against any Borrower (arising as a result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result of Guarantor’s payment and performance of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.  So long as any portion of the Obligations or the Guaranteed Obligations remains outstanding, Guarantor shall not receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from any Borrower or any other party any amount upon the Guarantor Claims.

4.2Claims in Bankruptcy.  In the event of any receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceeding involving Guarantor as debtor, each Secured Party shall have the right to prove its claim in any such proceeding so as to establish its rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court

EXHIBIT E-1 – CBL

4873-9001-7310\2


 

custodian dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Guarantor Claims.  Guarantor hereby irrevocably assigns such dividends and payments to Secured Parties.  Should Secured Parties receive, for application against the Obligations, any such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to Guarantor and which, as between any Borrower and Guarantor, shall constitute a credit against the Guarantor Claims, then upon Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of Administrative Agent and Lenders to the extent that such payments to Secured Parties on Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Obligations which would have been unpaid if Administrative Agent or any Lender had not received dividends or payments upon Guarantor Claims.

4.3Payments Held in Trust.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty, in the event that Guarantor should receive any funds, payment, claim or distribution which is prohibited by this Guaranty, Guarantor agrees to hold in trust for Secured Parties an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims and distributions so received, and agrees that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims or distributions so received except to pay them promptly to Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, and Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties.

4.4Liens Subordinate.  Guarantor agrees that any Liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon any Borrower’s assets securing payment of Guarantor Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any Liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon any Borrower’s assets securing payment and performance of the Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of Guarantor, Administrative Agent or any Lender presently exist or are hereafter created or attach.  Without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, Guarantor shall not (i) create any Lien encumbering any Project or any interest therein, (ii) exercise or enforce any creditor’s rights it may have against any Borrower, or (iii) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including, without limitation, the commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any Liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interests, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on assets of such Borrower held by Guarantor.  The foregoing shall in no manner vitiate or amend, nor be deemed to vitiate or amend, any prohibition in the Loan Documents against any Borrower granting Liens in any of its assets to any Person other than Administrative Agent or Guarantor transferring any of its assets to any Person other than Administrative Agent.

4.5No Limitations.  Nothing contained in this Guaranty shall affect or limit the ability of Administrative Agent or any Lender to enforce any of Secured Parties’ rights or remedies with respect to any Project or any other Collateral.  Nothing contained in this Guaranty shall affect or limit the rights of Secured Parties to proceed against any other Person, including any Borrower, or any other party with respect to the enforcement of any guarantees of payment, guarantees of performance and completion, hazardous materials indemnifications or agreements or other similar rights, including, without limitation, those indemnities contained in the Environmental Indemnity.

(d)any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any Guaranteed Obligations for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and Guarantor hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise;

(e)any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification of, or any consent to or departure from, any of the terms of any Loan Document;

(j)any signature of any officer or other signatory of any Person being mechanically reproduced in facsimile or otherwise;

(k)any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Secured Party or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense (other than the defense of payment in full) available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, Borrower, Guarantor, surety, any other Person or any other guarantor; or

(l)any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Borrower or Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Borrower or Guarantor for the Guaranteed Obligations, or of Guarantor under this Guaranty.

5.2Notices.  All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly given if (i) mailed by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified with return receipt requested; (ii) by delivering same in person to the intended addressee; or (iii) by delivery to an independent third party commercial delivery service for same day or next day delivery and providing for evidence of receipt at the office of the intended addressee.  Notice so mailed shall be effective upon its deposit with the United States Postal Service or any successor thereto; notice sent by a commercial delivery service shall be effective upon delivery to such commercial delivery service; notice given by personal delivery shall be effective only if and when received by the addressee; and notice given by other means shall be effective only if and when received at the designated address of the intended addressee.  Administrative Agent or Guarantor shall have the right to change its address for notice hereunder to any other location within the continental United States by the giving of thirty (30) days’ notice to the other party in the manner set forth herein.  For purposes of such notices, the addresses of Administrative Agent and Guarantor shall be as follows:

6.7No Duty to Pursue Others.  It shall not be necessary for any Secured Party (and Guarantor hereby waives any rights which Guarantor may have to require any Secured Party), in order to enforce the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, first to (i) institute suit or exhaust its remedies against any Borrower or others liable on the Loan or the Obligations or any other Person, (ii) enforce Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s rights against any Collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan or any of the Obligations, (iii) enforce Secured Parties’ rights against any other guarantors of any of the Obligations, (iv) join any Borrower or any others liable on any of the Obligations in any action seeking to enforce this Guaranty, (v) exhaust any remedies available to Secured Parties against any Collateral which shall ever have been given to secure the Loan or any of the Obligations, or (vi) resort to any other means of obtaining payment and performance of any of the  Obligations.  Secured Parties shall not be required to mitigate damages or take any other action to reduce, collect or enforce the Obligations.

6.8Agreement and Waiver of Notice.  Guarantor agrees to the provisions of the Loan Documents, and, to the extent permitted by Law, hereby waives notice of, and any rights of consent to (i) any loans or advances made by Lenders to any Borrower, (ii) acceptance of this Guaranty, (iii) any amendment or extension of the Lien Instruments, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, (iv) the execution and delivery by any Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders of any other loan or credit agreement or of any Borrower’s execution and delivery of any promissory notes or other documents, instruments or agreements arising under the Loan Documents or in connection with any Project, (v) the occurrence of any breach by any Borrower of any of the terms or conditions of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or the occurrence of any Event of Default, (vi) Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s transfer, sale, assignment, pledge, participation or disposition of the Obligations, or any part thereof, (vii) the sale or foreclosure (or the posting or advertising for the sale or foreclosure) of any Collateral for the Obligations, (viii) protest, proof of non‑payment or default by any Borrower, and (ix) any other action at any time taken or not taken by any Secured Party and, generally, all demands and notices (except as otherwise provided in the Loan Documents) of every kind in connection with this Guaranty, the other Loan Documents, and any other documents, instruments or agreements evidencing, securing or relating to any of the Obligations.

6.9Payment of Expenses.  In the event that Guarantor should breach or fail to timely perform any provisions of this Guaranty, Guarantor shall, within ten (10) days after demand by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, pay Administrative Agent all fees, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and attorneys’ fees and expenses) incurred by  any Secured Party in the enforcement hereof or the preservation of any Secured Party’s rights hereunder, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date the payment of such expenses is requested by Administrative Agent until the date Administrative Agent receives

4873-9001-7310\2


 

payment in full of such fees, costs and expenses.  The covenant contained in this Section shall survive the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations.

6.10Effect of Bankruptcy.  In the event that, pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws, or any judgment, order or decision thereunder, or any agreement, stipulation or settlement, any Secured Party must rescind or restore any payment, or any part thereof, received by any Secured Party in satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations, as set forth herein, any prior release or discharge from the terms of this Guaranty given to Guarantor by any Secured Party shall be without effect, and this Guaranty shall remain (or shall be reinstated to be) in full force and effect.  It is the intention of Guarantor that Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall not be discharged except by Guarantor’s payment or performance of such obligations and then only to the extent of such payment or performance.

6.11Guarantor’s Rights of Subrogation, Contribution, Etc.; Subordination of Other Obligations.  Until expiration of the Subrogation Postponement Period, Guarantor shall withhold exercise of (a) any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower or any of its assets in connection with this Guaranty or the performance by Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute, under common law or otherwise and including without limitation (i) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification that Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower, (ii) any right to enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Secured Party now has or may hereafter have against any Borrower, and (iii) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Secured Party and (b) any right of contribution Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any other guarantor of any of the Obligations.  Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the agreement to withhold the exercise of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification Guarantor may have against any Borrower or against any collateral or security, and any rights of contribution Guarantor may have against any such other guarantor, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights the Secured Parties may have against any Borrower, to all right, title and interest the Secured Parties may have in any such collateral or security, and to any right the Secured Parties may have against such other guarantor.

6.12Application of Payments.  If, at any time, there is any Indebtedness or Obligations of any Borrower to Administrative Agent or any Lender that is not guaranteed by Guarantor, Administrative Agent or any Lender, without in any manner impairing its rights hereunder, may, at its option, apply all amounts realized by Administrative Agent or any Lender from any Collateral or security held by Administrative Agent or any Lender first to the payment of such unguaranteed Indebtedness or Obligations, with the remaining amounts, if any, to then be applied to the payment of the Indebtedness or Obligations guaranteed by Guarantor.

6.13Multiple Guarantors.  If one or more additional guaranty agreements (“Other Guaranties”) are executed by one or more additional guarantors (“Other Guarantors”), which guaranty, in whole or in part, any of the indebtedness or obligations evidenced by the Loan Documents, it is specifically agreed that Secured Parties may enforce the provisions of this Guaranty or of the Other Guaranties with respect to one or more of the parties constituting

EXHIBIT E-2 – CBL

Guarantor and/or one or more of the Other Guarantors under the Other Guaranties without seeking to enforce the provisions of this Guaranty or the Other Guaranties as to all or any of the parties constituting Guarantor or the Other Guarantors.

4873-9001-7310\2

8.4Guarantor’s Financial Condition.  As of the date hereof, and after giving effect to this Guaranty and the contingent obligations evidenced hereby, Guarantor (A) has, and will have, Solvency, (B) has and will have assets which, fairly valued, exceed its obligations, liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and debts, and (C) has and will have property and assets sufficient to satisfy and repay its obligations, liabilities (including contingent liabilities) and debts, including, without limitation, the Guaranteed Obligations.

8.5Legality.  The execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder do not, and will not, contravene or conflict with any Law to which Guarantor is subject or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would constitute a default) under, or result in the breach of, any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, charge, lien, or any contract, agreement or other instrument to which Guarantor is a party or which may be applicable to Guarantor.  This Guaranty and the Loan Documents to which Guarantor is a party constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with their respective terms (except, in any case, as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by principles of equity whether applied by a court of law or equity).

certificate, and if any Default or Event of Default then exists, setting forth the details thereof and the action which Guarantor is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

ARTICLE IX

SUBORDINATION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS

9.1Subordination of All Guarantor Claims.  As used herein, the term “Guarantor Claims” shall mean all debts and liabilities of any Borrower to Guarantor, whether such debts and liabilities now exist or are hereafter incurred or arise, or whether the obligations of such Borrower thereon be direct, contingent, primary, secondary, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and irrespective of whether such debts or liabilities are evidenced by note, contract, open account, or otherwise, and irrespective of the Person or Persons in whose favor such debts or liabilities may, at their inception, have been, or may hereafter be created, or the manner in which they have been or may hereafter be acquired by Guarantor.  Guarantor Claims shall include, without limitation, all rights and claims of Guarantor against any Borrower (arising as a result of subrogation or otherwise) as a result of Guarantor’s payment and performance of all or a portion of the Guaranteed Obligations.  So long as any portion of the Obligations or the Guaranteed Obligations remains outstanding, Guarantor shall not receive or collect, directly or indirectly, from any Borrower or any other party any amount upon the Guarantor Claims.

9.2Claims in Bankruptcy.  In the event of any receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, debtor’s relief, or other insolvency proceeding involving Guarantor as debtor, each Secured Party shall have the right to prove its claim in any such proceeding so as to establish its rights hereunder and receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other court custodian dividends and payments which would otherwise be payable upon Guarantor Claims.  Guarantor hereby irrevocably assigns such dividends and payments to Secured Parties.  Should Secured Parties receive, for application against the Obligations, any such dividend or payment which is otherwise payable to Guarantor and which, as between any Borrower and Guarantor, shall constitute a credit against the Guarantor Claims, then upon Payment in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations, Guarantor shall become subrogated to the rights of Administrative Agent and Lenders to the extent that such payments to Secured Parties on Guarantor Claims have contributed toward the liquidation of the Obligations, and such subrogation shall be with respect to that proportion of the Obligations which would have been unpaid if Administrative Agent or any Lender had not received dividends or payments upon Guarantor Claims.

9.3Payments Held in Trust.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Guaranty, in the event that Guarantor should receive any funds, payment, claim or distribution which is prohibited by this Guaranty and subject to any right or claim of a Secured Party, Guarantor agrees to hold in trust for Secured Parties an amount equal to the amount of all funds, payments, claims and distributions so received, and agrees that it shall have absolutely no dominion over the amount of such funds, payments, claims or distributions so received except to pay them promptly to Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, and Guarantor covenants promptly to pay the same to Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties.

9.4Liens Subordinate.  Guarantor agrees that any Liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon any Borrower’s assets securing payment of Guarantor

EXHIBIT E-2 – CBL

4873-9001-7310\2


 

Claims shall be and remain inferior and subordinate to any Liens, security interests, judgment liens, charges or other encumbrances upon any Borrower’s assets securing payment and performance of the Obligations, regardless of whether such encumbrances in favor of Guarantor, Administrative Agent or any Lender presently exist or are hereafter created or attach.  Without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, Guarantor shall not (i) create any Lien encumbering any Project or any interest therein, (ii) exercise or enforce any creditor’s rights it may have against any Borrower, or (iii) foreclose, repossess, sequester or otherwise take steps or institute any action or proceedings (judicial or otherwise, including, without limitation, the commencement of, or joinder in, any liquidation, bankruptcy, rearrangement, debtor’s relief or insolvency proceeding) to enforce any Liens, mortgages, deeds of trust, security interests, collateral rights, judgments or other encumbrances on assets of any Borrower held by Guarantor.  The foregoing shall in no manner vitiate or amend, nor be deemed to vitiate or amend, any prohibition in the Loan Documents against any Borrower granting Liens in any of its assets to any Person other than Administrative Agent or Guarantor transferring any of its assets to any Person other than Administrative Agent.

9.5No Limitations.  Nothing contained in this Guaranty shall affect or limit the ability of Administrative Agent or any Lender to enforce any of Secured Parties’ rights or remedies with respect to any Project or any other Collateral.  Nothing contained in this Guaranty shall affect or limit the rights of Secured Parties to proceed against any other Person, including any Borrower, or any other party with respect to the enforcement of any guarantees of payment, guarantees of performance and completion, hazardous materials indemnifications or agreements or other similar rights, including, without limitation, those indemnities contained in the Environmental Indemnity.

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1Waivers and Related Agreements.  The liability of Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent not prohibited by any applicable Governmental Authority, any defenses (other than the payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations) it may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(a)any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations being irrecoverable;

(b)the failure of any Secured Party to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right or remedy against Guarantor or any other Person under the provisions of any Loan Document or any other guarantor of, or collateral securing, any Guaranteed Obligations;

(c)any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other obligations of any Person under the Loan Documents or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Loan Document or any agreement, including, without limitation, any

increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Borrower or otherwise;

(d)any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any Guaranteed Obligations for any reason, including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and shall not be subject to (and Guarantor hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim, recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality, nongenuineness, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event or occurrence affecting, any Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise;

(e)any amendment to, rescission, waiver, or other modification of, or any consent to or departure from, any of the terms of any Loan Document;

(f)any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(g)any manner of application of Collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other obligations of any other Person under the Loan Documents or any other assets of any Borrower or Guarantor;

(h)any change, restructuring or termination of the company structure or existence of any Borrower or Guarantor;

(i)any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to any Borrower or Guarantor any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, properties or prospects of any Person now or in the future known to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Secured Party (and Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any Secured Party to disclose such information);

(j)any signature of any officer or other signatory of any Person being mechanically reproduced in facsimile or otherwise;

(k)any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Secured Party or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense (other than the defense of payment in full) available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, any Borrower, Guarantor, surety, any other Person or any other guarantor; or

(l)any other circumstance whatsoever (with or without notice to or knowledge of any Borrower or Guarantor) which constitutes, or might be construed to constitute, an equitable or legal discharge of any Borrower or Guarantor for the Guaranteed Obligations, or of Guarantor under this Guaranty.

10.2Notices.  All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant hereto shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly given if (i) mailed by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified with return receipt requested; (ii) by delivering same in person to the intended addressee; or (iii) by delivery to an independent third

(c)WAIVER OF OBJECTION TO VENUE.  GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT IN ANY COURT REFERRED TO IN SUBSECTION (b) OF THIS SECTION.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO THE MAINTENANCE OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT.

10.4Invalid Provisions.  If any provision of this Guaranty is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Guaranty, such provision shall be fully severable and this Guaranty shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Guaranty, and the remaining provisions of this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Guaranty, unless such continued effectiveness of this Guaranty, as modified, would be contrary to the basic understandings and intentions of the parties as expressed herein.

10.5Amendments.  This Guaranty may be amended only by an instrument in writing executed by the party against whom such amendment is sought to be enforced.

10.6Parties Bound; Assignment.  This Guaranty shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, permitted assigns, heirs and legal representatives.  Each Secured Party shall have the right to assign or transfer its rights under this Guaranty in connection with any assignment of the Loan and the Loan Documents.  Any assignee or transferee of a Secured Party shall be entitled to all the benefits afforded to such Secured Party under this Guaranty.  Guarantor shall not have the right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations under this Guaranty without the prior written consent of Secured Parties, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void.

EXHIBIT E-2 – CBL

4873-9001-7310\2


 

required to bind Guarantor, appear on each counterpart.  All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single instrument.  It shall not be necessary in making proof of this Guaranty to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, Guarantor.  Any signature page to any counterpart may be detached from such counterpart without impairing the legal effect of the signatures thereon and thereafter attached to another counterpart identical thereto except having attached to it additional signature pages.  This Guaranty shall become effective when it shall have been executed by Guarantor and when Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof that, when taken together, bear the signatures of Guarantor.  This Guaranty, and any and all signed certificates and other documents delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, may be transmitted and/or signed by facsimile or e-mail transmission (e.g. “pdf” or “tif”).  The effectiveness of any such documents and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on Guarantor.  Secured Parties may also require that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile or e-mail document or signature.

10.12WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT,

EXHIBIT E-2 – CBL

4873-9001-7310\2


 

TORT OR ANY OTHER THEORY).  GUARANTOR (a) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (b) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PARTIES TO THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO SUCH OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

10.13Reinstatement in Certain Circumstances.  If at any time any payment of the principal or interest under the Loan Documents or any other amount payable by any Borrower under the Loan Documents is rescinded or must be otherwise restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Borrower or otherwise, Guarantor’s obligations hereunder with respect to such payment shall be reinstated as though such payment has been due but not made at such time.

10.14Electronic Execution.  The words “execution,” “execute”, “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in or related to this Guaranty or in any amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in any applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

4873-9001-7310\2


 

other measures as Beneficiary may deem necessary for the care, protection and preservation of the Collateral.  Upon request or demand of Beneficiary after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall, at its expense, assemble the Collateral and make it available to Beneficiary at a convenient place (at the Land if tangible property) reasonably acceptable to Beneficiary.  Borrower shall pay to Beneficiary on demand any and all expenses, including reasonable legal expenses and attorneys’ fees, incurred or paid by Beneficiary in protecting its interest in the Collateral and in enforcing its rights hereunder with respect to the Collateral after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.  Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Beneficiary with respect to the Collateral sent to Borrower in accordance with the provisions hereof at least ten (10) days prior to such action, shall, except as otherwise provided by applicable law, constitute reasonable notice to Borrower.  The proceeds of any disposition of the Collateral, or any part thereof, may, except as otherwise required by applicable law, be applied by Beneficiary to the payment of the Debt in such priority and proportions as Beneficiary in its discretion shall deem proper.  Borrower’s (debtor’s) principal place of business is as set forth on page one hereof and the address of Beneficiary (secured party) is as set forth on page one hereof.

Section 1.4Fixture Filing. Certain of the Property is or will become “fixtures” (as that term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) on the Land, and this Deed of Trust, upon being filed for record in the real estate records of the city or county wherein such fixtures are situated, shall operate also as a financing statement filed as a fixture filing in accordance with the applicable provisions of said Uniform Commercial Code upon such of the Property that is or may become fixtures.

Section 1.5Pledges of Monies Held. Borrower hereby pledges to Beneficiary any and all monies now or hereafter held by Beneficiary or on behalf of Beneficiary, including, without limitation, any sums deposited in an Account Control Agreement, as additional security for the Obligations until expended or applied as provided in this Deed of Trust or the Credit Agreement.

Section 10.2Marshalling and Other Matters.  Mortgagor hereby agrees that Mortgagor shall not at any time hereafter have or assert, and Mortgagor hereby waives to the extent permitted under applicable Laws, (a) any benefit that might accrue to it by virtue of any present or future Laws exempting the Property, or any part of the proceeds arising from any sale thereof, from attachment, levy or sale on execution, or providing for any appraisement, valuation, stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment, (b) unless specifically required herein, all notices of Mortgagor’s default or Mortgagee’s election to exercise, or Mortgagee’s actual exercise, of any option or remedy under this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents, and (c) any right under any applicable Laws pertaining to marshalling, whether of assets or liens, the sale of property in the inverse order of alienation, the exemption of homesteads, the administration of estates of decedents, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, reinstatement, redemption, reimbursement, indemnification, contribution, subrogation, or abatement, suspension, deferment, diminution or reduction of any of the Obligations (including setoff), and any other right and defense that may be now or hereafter in force, whether arising out of an election of remedies by Mortgagee or otherwise and whether at law or in equity, including those that may be available because the Obligations of any other guarantor or obligor are secured by real property.  This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses Mortgagor may have because the Obligations are secured by real property.  To the extent permitted by applicable Laws, Mortgagor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the creditor, even though that election of remedies, such as a non-judicial foreclosure with respect to security for an Obligation, has destroyed the guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal.

AGREEMENT

For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and confessed, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.Subordination of Management Fees and Management Agreements. The Management Fees and the Management Agreements and all rights and privileges of Manager to the Management Fees or under any Management Agreement are hereby and shall at all times continue to be subordinate in all respects to Payment In Full of the Obligations. Manager represents and warrants that it has been provided with a copy of the Loan Documents and understands the terms and provisions therein contained.

2.Estoppel. Manager represents and warrants that (a) each Management Agreement is in full force and effect and has not been modified, amended or assigned other than pursuant to this Agreement and constitutes the entire agreement between Manager and the applicable Borrower with respect to management of the relevant Property, (b) neither Manager nor any Borrower is in default under any of the terms, covenants or provisions of the applicable Management Agreement and Manager does not know of any event which, but for the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute an event of default under such Management Agreement, (c) neither Manager nor any Borrower has commenced any action or given or received any notice for the purpose of terminating the relevant Management Agreement, (d) the Management Fees and all other sums due and payable to Manager under each Management Agreement have been paid in full, and (e) Manager is aware that the Leases (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and Rents (as defined in the Security Instruments) relating to each Property have been assigned collaterally to Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents. Manager and each Borrower agree not to amend, or modify, replace, substitute, cancel or terminate the relevant Management Agreement without Agent’s prior written consent (to the extent such consent is required pursuant to the terms hereof) except as otherwise permitted by the Credit Agreement.

3.Agreement by Borrower and Manager. Each Borrower and Manager hereby agree that upon the occurrence of an “Event of Default” (as defined in the Credit Agreement) during the term of this Agreement or upon the occurrence of any other event beyond any applicable notice and cure period which would entitle Agent to terminate any or all of the Management Agreements in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, Agent may upon written notice to Borrowers and Manager (i) terminate the relevant Management Agreements, at no cost or expense to Agent or any Lender, and Manager shall transfer its responsibility for the management of the applicable Property to a management company selected by Agent in Agent’s sole discretion, effective as of the date set forth in Agent’s notice to Manager or (ii) retain the Manager pursuant to the terms of the applicable Management Agreement for such period of time as the Agent shall determine in its sole and absolute discretion, provided that thereafter, Agent may terminate the applicable Management Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice to Manager.

Manager shall only terminate any Management Agreement in accordance with the terms set forth in each such Management Agreement (as further qualified by Section 5(b) below).  In the event that Agent requests that Manager continue to perform the obligations under the terms of any Management Agreement with respect to a Property from and after an Event of Default, or the Manager is

otherwise performing its obligations under the Management Agreement, Manager shall be entitled to collect and receive Management Fees and reimbursements of costs pursuant to the applicable Management Agreement for such period notwithstanding the existence of an Event of Default or the subordination provided in this Agreement.  The foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, Agent shall have no liability for any Management Fees or reimbursable costs accrued and unpaid prior to an Event of Default.

4.Receipt of Management Fees. Except as provided in Section 3 hereof, each Borrower and Manager hereby agree that Manager shall not be entitled to receive any Management Fees or other fee, commission or other amount payable to Manager under any Management Agreement for and during any period of time that any Event of Default exists; provided, however, that Manager shall not be obligated to return or refund to Agent any Management Fee already received by Manager prior to the earlier to occur of (x) the occurrence of the Event of Default or (y) the occurrence of any other event beyond any applicable notice and cure period which would entitle Agent to terminate the Management Agreement in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, and to which Manager was entitled under the Management Agreement. In the event possession of a Property is transferred in connection with the exercise by Agent or Lenders of their rights or remedies pursuant to this Agreement or other Loan Documents. Manager shall not be entitled to collect from Agent, Lenders or any purchaser in foreclosure or any transferee in lieu thereof, any Management Fees or other amounts accrued by and unpaid prior to the occurrence of such Event of Default.

5.Consent and Agreement by Manager.

4873-9001-7310\2


 

3.2UCC Financing Statements and Other Filings.  Without limiting the generality of Section 3.1, upon Administrative Agent’s written request Pledgor shall promptly and from time to time, give, execute, deliver, authorize, file, register and record such UCC financing statements and continuation statements as may be necessary or desirable to perfect Administrative Agent’s Lien in the Collateral, to establish and maintain the priority of Administrative Agent’s Lien over the rights of other Persons with respect to the Collateral or to enable Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights hereunder with respect to such Lien in accordance with applicable law and subject to the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.  Such financing statements may describe the Collateral in the same manner as described herein or may contain an indication or description of the Collateral in any other manner as Administrative Agent determines is necessary or advisable under applicable law.

3.5Pledgor Remain Liable.  Pledgor shall remain liable under any agreement or other document or instrument included within the Collateral, including the Organizational Documents of Borrowers, to perform its obligations and satisfy its liabilities thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, each to the extent such obligations or liabilities arose, accrued, or the actions giving rise to such obligation or liabilities occurred prior to any foreclosure or other sale or disposition of Collateral by Administrative Agent (collectively, the “Existing Obligations”).  The exercise by Administrative Agent of any rights under this Agreement or

4.5Rights of Pledgor Continue.  Unless and until an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (a) Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain all Distributions and other amounts paid to it in respect of the Collateral owned by it and, if the payment thereof is not otherwise prohibited pursuant to the Loan Documents, to make payments and Distributions to Persons that are not Loan Parties free and clear of the Lien created by this Agreement, and (b) Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise all voting, participation, consent and other rights with respect to the Pledged Equity to the exclusion of and without interference from the rights granted to Administrative Agent hereunder with respect to such Collateral; provided, that no vote shall be cast, right exercised or other action taken by Pledgor that is inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

4.10Deposit Accounts.  Pledgor will:

(a)maintain all of its Deposit Accounts only with the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Affiliate of any Lender, or with an Acceptable Financial Institution, in each case subject to a Control Agreement acceptable to the Administrative Agent; and

SECTION 5.

5.2Power and Authority; Due Authorization, Execution and Delivery.  Pledgor has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to grant the security interest in the Collateral purported to be granted hereby and to perform its obligations hereunder.  The

EXHIBIT J-1 – CBL

4873-9001-7310\2


 

execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company action, and such execution, delivery and performance do not require the consent or approval of any member or other Person or Governmental Authority that has not been obtained.  This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Pledgor.

5.3Noncontravention.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the grant of the Liens securing the Secured Obligations pursuant to this Agreement do not conflict with, result in the breach of or violate any provision of the organizational documents of Pledgor, result in a breach of, constitute a default under or result in the acceleration of any obligation under any indenture, loan agreement, credit agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Pledgor or any of its Property is or may be subject, or result in a violation of any applicable Law to which Pledgor or its Property is subject.

5.4Valid and Binding Obligations.  This Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of Pledgor, enforceable against Pledgor in accordance with its terms, except that (a) the enforceability hereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and (b) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

5.5Title to Collateral.  Pledgor holds good and valid title to the Pledged Equity and all of the other Collateral purported to be owned by it, free and clear of all Liens other than the Lien in favor of Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement.  Except for such Liens as shall be discharged as of the Closing Date, Pledgor has not transferred or agreed to transfer to any Person all or any portion of its interest in the Collateral, including any Lien on the Collateral, other than such Liens in favor of Administrative Agent.  Except with respect to such Liens in favor of Administrative Agent, no effective financing statement or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any recording office.

5.6Valid Liens as Security.  The provisions of this Agreement are effective to create, in favor of Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a valid and enforceable Lien on and security interest in the Collateral as security for the payment and performance when due of the Secured Obligations.  On the Closing Date, Administrative Agent has been authorized to file a financing statement naming Pledgor as debtor and Administrative Agent as secured party in the UCC filing office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware at least ten (10) days prior to the Closing Date.  The filing of such financing statement is the only filing necessary to perfect the security interests in the Collateral purported to be granted pursuant to this Agreement to the extent that a security interest in such Collateral can be perfected by filing a financing statement under the UCC, and all other necessary filings and recordings have been made, or have been duly executed, acknowledged and delivered in form suitable for filing or recording in the relevant public offices, and possession of all relevant Collateral has or will be taken on the Closing Date, so that the Lien created by this Agreement constitutes a valid and perfected first priority Lien in the Collateral, prior and superior to all other Liens.

5.7Name of Pledgor; Place of Business.  The full and correct legal name, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization and organizational ID number (if applicable) and chief executive officer of Pledgor are set forth in Schedule I attached to this Agreement.  Pledgor has

EXHIBIT J-1 – CBL

(g)initiate and pursue suits, actions and other legal proceedings, in equity or at law, with respect to the performance or remedies for non-performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid of the execution and enforcement of any power granted to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement.

6.2Foreclosure or Sale.  In the event of any foreclosure or other sale or disposition of Collateral by Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may sell any Collateral at one or more

EXHIBIT J-1 – CBL

4873-9001-7310\2


 

sales, public or private, as Administrative Agent may determine, and the security interest granted under this Agreement shall remain in effect as to the unsold portion of the Collateral.  Administrative Agent may cancel and shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  Administrative Agent may adjourn any sale by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was adjourned.  In the event that any sale hereunder is not completed or is defective in the opinion of Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent shall have the right to cause subsequent sales to be made.  Administrative Agent may delegate to any agent the performance of any acts in connection with any sale of Collateral under this Agreement, including the sending of notices and the conduct of the sale.  If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, including with respect to any Pledged Equity, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition.

6.3Certain Limitations.  Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other applicable federal and state securities laws, Administrative Agent may determine that a public sale is impracticable, not desirable or not commercially reasonable and may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who shall agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Loan Parties or the Secured Parties than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, Pledgor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Pledged Equity or other Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit any Borrower to register it for public sale.  Pledgor agrees to use its best efforts to cooperate with Administrative Agent to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity or other Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with applicable securities law and other legal requirements.  

6.4No Liability of Secured Parties.  Nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute Administrative Agent or any Secured Party as an agent of Pledgor for any purpose whatsoever, and neither Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall be responsible or liable for any shortage, discrepancy, damage or loss of any part of the Collateral wherever the same may be located and regardless of the cause thereof.  Neither Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party assumes or shall assume any of the obligations of Pledgor, and neither Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall be responsible or liable in any way for the performance of any such obligations or have any duty or obligation to cure any default or condition under any agreement to which Pledgor is a party.  It is understood that by taking any actions under or in connection with this Agreement, Administrative Agent is not assuming the obligations of Pledgor, and Pledgor shall remain liable for performance of all of its obligations and liabilities.

6.5Private Sale.  Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to this Agreement conducted in a commercially reasonable manner and in accordance with applicable

EXHIBIT J-1 – CBL

4873-9001-7310\2


 

Law.  Pledgor hereby waives any claims against Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.

6.6Waivers by Pledgor.  Except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents, Pledgor hereby waives notice of breach, default, or event of default, notice of intent to take remedial action including acceleration of the maturity date of the Loan, setoff, or termination, notice of remedial action including acceleration, setoff, or termination, and all other notices of any kind.

6.7Application of Proceeds.  Any proceeds received by Administrative Agent from the sale of, collection of or other realization upon any Collateral or any other amounts received or collected by Administrative Agent from or on account of the Collateral shall be (a) held by Administrative Agent as collateral for the Secured Obligations or (b) applied to the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

6.8Administrative Agent May Perform.  Pledgor agrees that, if Pledgor fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, after notice to the extent required in the Credit Agreement, perform such obligations, and any expenses incurred or monies advanced by Administrative Agent in performing such obligations shall be paid by Pledgor and shall constitute a part of the Secured Obligations.  Any such performance by Administrative Agent may be made by Administrative Agent in reliance on any statement, invoice, or claim, without inquiry into the validity or accuracy thereof.  The amount and nature of any expense of Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusively established by a certificate of any officer of Administrative Agent absent manifest error.

6.9Payment of Expenses and Indemnity.  Pledgor agrees to pay and reimburse Administrative Agent for, and indemnify and hold Administrative Agent harmless from and against, any recording and filing fees and any obligations with respect to stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, that may be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, performance and enforcement of, or any amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification of, this Agreement, not later than ten (10) days after demand therefor by Administrative Agent.

6.10Power of Attorney.  Pledgor hereby designates and constitutes Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, with power at any time and from time to time to take in the name of Pledgor any actions that Pledgor is required to, or that Administrative Agent is authorized to, take under Section 6 of this Agreement and to institute proceedings Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable to enforce the rights of Administrative Agent with respect thereto; provided that Administrative Agent shall not take action as attorney-in-fact for Pledgor except when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or when the Secured Obligations have been accelerated in accordance with the Credit Agreement.  All acts of said attorney are hereby ratified and approved by Pledgor, and said attorney shall not be liable for any acts or omissions, any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law.  The power of attorney granted under this subparagraph is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

6.11Powers of Administrative Agent.  The powers conferred on Administrative Agent under this Agreement are solely to protect Administrative Agent’s rights under this Agreement and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.  Except as elsewhere provided hereunder, Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to any of the Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against other parties or any other rights pertaining to the Collateral.

SECTION 7.
MISCELLANEOUS

7.1Termination; Releases of Liens.  At such time as all Secured Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full and there are no outstanding lending commitments of the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents, (i) this Agreement shall terminate (except with respect to provisions that expressly survive termination) and the Collateral shall be released from the Liens under this Agreement, and (ii) Administrative Agent shall at the request and at the expense of Pledgor deliver financing statement terminations and other releases to reflect the termination and release of Liens.

7.2No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.  No failure or delay on the part of any party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties to this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right, power or remedy under the Loan Documents.  No single or partial exercise by any party to this Agreement of any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or remedy under the Loan Documents.  No notice or demand given to any party to this Agreement shall entitle such party to such a notice or demand or to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver by any party to this Agreement of any right to take such action or any other or further action (without notice or demand) in such circumstances or in similar or other circumstances.  All rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement or pursuant to applicable Law or otherwise afforded to a party to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative in nature and are not exclusive of any other rights, powers and remedies such party may have under the Loan Documents or pursuant to applicable Law.

7.3Amendments, Waivers and Consents.  No amendment, waiver, or other modification in respect of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing and signed by each party to be bound thereby.  No waiver or consent in respect of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing and signed by Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders or such other Applicable Percentage of the Lenders as is required under the Loan Documents), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and only for the purposes for which it is given.

7.4Notices.  All notices required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement and (a) in the case of notice to Administrative Agent, in accordance with the contact information for Administrative Agent specified in or pursuant to the Credit Agreement, or (b) in the case of notice to Pledgor, in accordance with the contact information set forth below (or as otherwise notified by Pledgor to Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 7.4).

Exhibit A

to Pledge AND SECURITY Agreement

UNCERTIFICATED SECURITIES CONTROL AGREEMENT

This UNCERTIFICATED SECURITIES CONTROL AGREEMENT (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this "Control Agreement") dated as of June 7, 2022 is made by and among CBL Outparcel HoldCo, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the "Pledgor"), CLMG Corp., a Texas corporation, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent") for the Secured Parties (as defined in, or by reference in, the Credit Agreement referred to below), and _______________ ("Issuer").

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among Issuer and certain affiliates (collectively “Borrowers”), Beal Bank USA, a Nevada thrift (the “Initial Lender” and, together with the other Lenders from time to time party to the Credit Agreement, the “Lenders”) and CLMG Corp., in its capacity as Administrative Agent, the Initial Lender has agreed to make a Loan to the Borrowers.  Capitalized terms used herein and not defined shall have the meanings assigned to such term in, or incorporated by reference in, the Credit Agreement.

WHEREAS, the Pledgor has granted to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a security interest in the uncertificated securities of Issuer owned by the Pledgor from time to time (collectively, the "Pledged Securities"), and all additions thereto and substitutions and proceeds thereof (collectively, with the Pledged Securities, the "Collateral") pursuant to a Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of even date herewith (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented, waived, renewed, replaced or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Pledge Agreement") between, among others, the Pledgor, the Administrative Agent and acknowledged by the Issuer.

WHEREAS, the following terms which are defined in Articles 8 and 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in the State of New York on the date hereof (the "UCC") are used herein as so defined: Control, Instruction, Proceeds and Uncertificated Security.

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Notice of Security Interest.  The Pledgor, the Administrative Agent and Issuer are entering into this Control Agreement to perfect, and to confirm the priority of, the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral.  Issuer acknowledges that this Control Agreement constitutes written notification to Issuer of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral.  Issuer agrees to promptly make all necessary entries or notations in its books and records to reflect the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Collateral and, upon request by the Administrative Agent, to register the Administrative Agent as the registered owner of any or all of the Pledged Securities. Issuer acknowledges that the Administrative Agent has Control over the Collateral.

EXHIBIT J-1 – CBL

4873-9001-7310\2


 

SECTION 2. Collateral.  Issuer hereby represents and warrants to, and agrees with the Pledgor and the Administrative Agent that (i) the Pledged Securities are uncertificated securities, (ii) Issuer’s jurisdiction is, and during the term of this Control Agreement shall remain, as set forth on Schedule 1, (iii) Schedule 1 contains a true and complete description of the Pledged Securities as of the date hereof, and (iv) except for the claims and interests of the Administrative Agent and the Pledgor in the Collateral, Issuer does not know of any claim to or security interest or other interest in the Collateral.

SECTION 3. Control.  Issuer hereby agrees that upon prior written notice from the Administrative Agent that an Event of Default shall have occurred, Issuer shall, without further consent from the Pledgor, (a) comply with all instructions and directions of any kind originated by the Administrative Agent concerning the Collateral, and (b) if directed by the Administrative Agent, not comply with the instructions or directions of any kind originated by the Pledgor or any other person.

SECTION 4. Termination.  This Control Agreement shall terminate automatically upon receipt by the Issuer of written notice executed by the Administrative Agent that all of the Collateral has been released.

 

SECTION 5. Notices.  All notices, requests and demands to or upon the respective parties hereto shall be given in accordance of Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.

SECTION 6. Amendments in Writing.  None of the terms or provisions of this Control Agreement may be waived, amended, supplemented or otherwise modified except by a written instrument executed by the parties hereto.

SECTION 7. Entire Agreement.  This Control Agreement, the Credit Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire agreement and supersede all other prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

SECTION 8. Execution in Counterparts.  This Control Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts by one or more parties to this Control Agreement and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.  Delivery of an executed signature page of this Control Agreement by facsimile or other electronic transmission (e.g., “pdf”, or “tif” format) shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart hereof.

SECTION 9. Successors and Assigns.  This Control Agreement shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, provided that neither the Pledgor nor the Issuer may assign, transfer or delegate any of its rights or obligations under this Control Agreement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 10. Severability.  In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Control Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby (it being understood that the invalidity of a particular provision in a

EXHIBIT J-1 – CBL

4873-9001-7310\2


 

particular jurisdiction shall not in and of itself affect the validity of such provision in any other jurisdiction).  The parties hereto shall endeavor in good-faith negotiations to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions.

3.5Pledgor Remain Liable.  Pledgor shall remain liable under any agreement or other document or instrument included within the Collateral, including the Organizational Documents of Sole Member, to perform its obligations and satisfy its liabilities thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, each to the extent such obligations or liabilities arose, accrued, or the actions giving rise to such obligation or liabilities occurred prior to any foreclosure or other sale or disposition of Collateral by Administrative Agent (collectively, the “Existing Obligations”).  The exercise by Administrative Agent of any rights under this Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Collateral shall not release Pledgor from any such Existing Obligations.  Administrative Agent shall not have any obligation or liability under any agreement or other

 

EXHIBIT J-2 – CBL

4873-9001-7310\2


 

document or instrument included within the Collateral by reason of this Agreement, nor shall Administrative Agent be obligated to perform or satisfy any of the obligations or liabilities of Pledgor thereunder, unless (and only to the extent that) Administrative Agent has expressly agreed in writing to assume responsibility to perform any such obligation.

5.4Valid and Binding Obligations.  This Agreement is the legal, valid and binding obligation of Pledgor, enforceable against Pledgor in accordance with its terms, except that (a) the enforceability hereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, receivership and other similar laws relating to creditors’ rights generally and (b) the remedy of specific performance and injunctive and other forms of equitable relief may be subject to equitable defenses and to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

5.5Title to Collateral.  Pledgor holds good and valid title to the Pledged Equity and all of the other Collateral purported to be owned by it, free and clear of all Liens other than the Lien in favor of Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement.  Except for such Liens as shall have been discharged as of the Closing Date. Pledgor has not transferred or agreed to transfer to any Person all or any portion of its interest in the Collateral, including any Lien on the Collateral, other than such Liens in favor of Administrative Agent.  Except with respect to such Liens in favor of Administrative Agent, no effective financing statement or other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the Collateral is on file in any recording office.

5.6Valid Liens as Security.  The provisions of this Agreement are effective to create, in favor of Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a valid and enforceable Lien on and security interest in the Collateral as security for the payment and performance when due of the Secured Obligations.  On the Closing Date, (a) Administrative Agent has been authorized to file a financing statement naming Pledgor as debtor and Administrative Agent as secured party in the UCC filing office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, (b) the filing of such financing statement is the only filing necessary to perfect the security interests in the Collateral purported to be granted pursuant to this Agreement to the extent that a security interest in such Collateral can be perfected by filing a financing statement under the UCC, and (c) all other necessary filings and recordings have been made, or have been duly executed, acknowledged and delivered in form suitable for filing or recording in the relevant public offices, and possession of all relevant Collateral has or will be taken on the Closing Date, so that the Lien created by this Agreement constitutes a valid and perfected first priority Lien in the Collateral, prior and superior to all other Liens.

5.7Name of Pledgor; Place of Business.  The full and correct legal name, type of organization, jurisdiction of organization and organizational ID number (if applicable) and chief executive officer of Pledgor are set forth in Schedule I attached to this Agreement.  Pledgor has not, in the five years preceding the date of this Agreement, (a) changed its name or used any trade name, (b) changed its location within the meaning of Section 9‑307 of the UCC, or (c) become a “new debtor” (within the meaning of Section 9-102(a)(56) of the UCC) with respect to any obligations or Liens.

5.8Delivery of Pledged Equity.  The Pledged Equity issued to Pledgor is, or shall be when issued, a security governed by Article 8 of the UCC.  Pledgor has physically delivered to

4873-9001-7310\2


 

Administrative Agent the original certificate evidencing all issued and outstanding Equity Interests in Sole Member (together with a duly executed transfer power (unless the certificate itself has been endorsed by Pledgor in blank) and irrevocable proxy in substantially the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit A).  The Pledged Equity and each certificate in respect thereof has been duly issued and is validly outstanding, registered in the name of Pledgor.

SECTION 6.
REMEDIES

6.1Remedies.  If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in addition to any other remedies that may be available under the Loan Documents, Administrative Agent may, at any time and from time to time:

(a)exercise all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC;

(b)foreclose on the Pledged Equity and other Collateral in any manner permitted by applicable Laws;

(c)sell any Pledged Equity and other Collateral at public or private sale, at the office of Administrative Agent or elsewhere, for cash or credit and upon such other terms as Administrative Agent deems commercially reasonable;

(d)upon notice to the Pledgor that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Administrative Agent may exercise any or all of the rights of Pledgor under the Organizational Documents of Sole Member to the exclusion of Pledgor, in each case in the same manner and to the same extent as Pledgor could with respect to such Organizational Documents;

(e)with respect to any Distributions or rights to receive Distributions, (i) sue upon or otherwise collect, extend the time of payment of, or compromise or settle for cash, credit or otherwise, such Distributions, (ii) receive, endorse, assign and deliver, in its own name or the name of Pledgor, any checks, drafts, money orders, acceptances, notes or other evidence in relation to such Distributions, and (iii) do any other acts and things necessary to enforce or realize upon such Distributions;

(f)conduct a sale of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity, exercise the voting and participation rights of Pledgor with respect to all or any portion of the Pledged Equity or cause the security certificates representing the Pledged Equity (and the registered ownership of the Pledged Equity) to be transferred of record into the name of Administrative Agent or its nominee; and

(g)initiate and pursue suits, actions and other legal proceedings, in equity or at law, with respect to the performance or remedies for non-performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement or in aid of the execution and enforcement of any power granted to Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement.

6.2Foreclosure or Sale.  In the event of any foreclosure or other sale or disposition of Collateral by Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent may sell any Collateral at one or more sales, public or private, as Administrative Agent may determine, and the security interest granted

 

EXHIBIT J-2 – CBL

4873-9001-7310\2


 

under this Agreement shall remain in effect as to the unsold portion of the Collateral.  Administrative Agent may cancel and shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  Administrative Agent may adjourn any sale by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was adjourned.  In the event that any sale hereunder is not completed or is defective in the opinion of Administrative Agent, Administrative Agent shall have the right to cause subsequent sales to be made.  Administrative Agent may delegate to any agent the performance of any acts in connection with any sale of Collateral under this Agreement, including the sending of notices and the conduct of the sale.  If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be required by law, including with respect to any Pledged Equity, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition.

6.3Certain Limitations.  Pledgor recognizes that, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and other applicable federal and state securities laws, Administrative Agent may determine that a public sale is impracticable, not desirable or not commercially reasonable and may be compelled, with respect to any sale of all or any part of the Collateral, to limit purchasers to those who shall agree, among other things, to acquire the Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof.  Pledgor acknowledges that any such private sales may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the Loan Parties or the Secured Parties than those obtainable through a public sale without such restrictions, and, notwithstanding such circumstances, Pledgor agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner and that Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to engage in public sales and no obligation to delay the sale of any Pledged Equity or other Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit Sole Member to register it for public sale.  Pledgor agrees to use its best efforts to cooperate with Administrative Agent to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Pledged Equity or other Collateral valid and binding and in compliance with applicable securities law and other legal requirements.

6.4No Liability of Secured Parties.  Nothing herein contained shall be construed to constitute Administrative Agent or any Secured Party as an agent of Pledgor for any purpose whatsoever, and neither Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall be responsible or liable for any shortage, discrepancy, damage or loss of any part of the Collateral wherever the same may be located and regardless of the cause thereof.  Neither Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party assumes or shall assume any of the obligations of Pledgor, and neither Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall be responsible or liable in any way for the performance of any such obligations or have any duty or obligation to cure any default or condition under any agreement to which Pledgor is a party.  It is understood that by taking any actions under or in connection with this Agreement, Administrative Agent is not assuming the obligations of Pledgor, and Pledgor shall remain liable for performance of all of its obligations and liabilities.

6.5Private Sale.  Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties shall incur no liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at any private sale pursuant to this Agreement conducted in a commercially reasonable manner and in accordance with applicable Law.  Pledgor hereby waives any claims against Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at a private

 

EXHIBIT J-2 – CBL

4873-9001-7310\2


 

sale was less than the price that might have been obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of the Secured Obligations, even if Administrative Agent accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.

6.6Waivers by Pledgor.  Except as expressly provided in the Loan Documents, Pledgor hereby waives notice of breach, default, or event of default, notice of intent to take remedial action including acceleration of the maturity date of the Loan, setoff, or termination, notice of remedial action including acceleration, setoff, or termination, and all other notices of any kind.

6.7Application of Proceeds.  Any proceeds received by Administrative Agent from the sale of, collection of or other realization upon any Collateral or any other amounts received or collected by Administrative Agent from or on account of the Collateral shall be (a) held by Administrative Agent as collateral for the Secured Obligations or (b) applied to the Secured Obligations in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

6.8Administrative Agent May Perform.  Pledgor agrees that, if Pledgor fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, after notice to the extent required in the Credit Agreement, perform such obligations, and any expenses incurred or monies advanced by Administrative Agent in performing such obligations shall be paid by Pledgor and shall constitute a part of the Secured Obligations.  Any such performance by Administrative Agent may be made by Administrative Agent in reliance on any statement, invoice, or claim, without inquiry into the validity or accuracy thereof.  The amount and nature of any expense of Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusively established by a certificate of any officer of Administrative Agent absent manifest error.

6.9Payment of Expenses and Indemnity.  Pledgor agrees to pay and reimburse Administrative Agent for, and indemnify and hold Administrative Agent harmless from and against, any recording and filing fees and any obligations with respect to stamp, excise and other taxes, if any, that may be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, performance and enforcement of, or any amendment, supplement, waiver or other modification of, this Agreement, not later than ten (10) days after demand therefor by Administrative Agent.

6.10Power of Attorney.  Pledgor hereby designates and constitutes Administrative Agent as its attorney-in-fact, with power at any time and from time to time to take in the name of Pledgor any actions that Pledgor is required to, or that Administrative Agent is authorized to, take under Section 6 of this Agreement and to institute proceedings Administrative Agent deems necessary or desirable to enforce the rights of Administrative Agent with respect thereto; provided that Administrative Agent shall not take action as attorney-in-fact for Pledgor except when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or when the Secured Obligations have been accelerated in accordance with the Credit Agreement.  All acts of said attorney are hereby ratified and approved by Pledgor, and said attorney shall not be liable for any acts or omissions, any error of judgment or any mistake of fact or law.  The power of attorney granted under this subparagraph is coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

6.11Powers of Administrative Agent.  The powers conferred on Administrative Agent under this Agreement are solely to protect Administrative Agent’s rights under this Agreement and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.  Except as elsewhere provided

 

EXHIBIT J-2 – CBL

4873-9001-7310\2


 

hereunder, Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to any of the Collateral or as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against other parties or any other rights pertaining to the Collateral.

SECTION 7.
MISCELLANEOUS

7.1Termination; Releases of Liens.  At such time as all Secured Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full and there are no outstanding lending commitments of the Secured Parties under the Loan Documents: (i) this Agreement shall terminate (except with respect to provisions that expressly survive termination) and the Collateral shall be released from the Liens under this Agreement; and (ii)  Administrative Agent shall at the request and at the expense of Pledgor deliver financing statement terminations and other releases to reflect the termination and release of Liens.

7.2No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.  No failure or delay on the part of any party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties to this Agreement, shall operate as a waiver thereof or of any other right, power or remedy under the Loan Documents.  No single or partial exercise by any party to this Agreement of any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or remedy under the Loan Documents.  No notice or demand given to any party to this Agreement shall entitle such party to such a notice or demand or to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver by any party to this Agreement of any right to take such action or any other or further action (without notice or demand) in such circumstances or in similar or other circumstances.  All rights, powers and remedies under this Agreement or pursuant to applicable Law or otherwise afforded to a party to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative in nature and are not exclusive of any other rights, powers and remedies such party may have under the Loan Documents or pursuant to applicable Law.

7.3Amendments, Waivers and Consents.  No amendment, waiver, or other modification in respect of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing and signed by each party to be bound thereby.  No waiver or consent in respect of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing and signed by Administrative Agent (acting at the direction of the Required Lenders or such other Applicable Percentage of the Lenders as is required under the Loan Documents), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and only for the purposes for which it is given.

7.4Notices.  All notices required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be given in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement and (a) in the case of notice to Administrative Agent, in accordance with the contact information for Administrative Agent specified in or pursuant to the Credit Agreement, or (b) in the case of notice to Pledgor, in accordance with the contact information set forth below (or as otherwise notified by Pledgor to Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section 7.4).
