(A)     the Prepayment Premium shall not apply to (1) scheduled amortization Installment payments made by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.8, (2) mandatory prepayments by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.10(b), Sections 2.10(e), 2.10(f) and 2.10(g), and (3) mandatory prepayments by Borrower pursuant to Sections 2.10(a) and 2.10(c) not exceeding $15,000,000 in the aggregate prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date,

(B)     in the case of mandatory prepayments by Borrower with the Net Asset Sale Proceeds of a 2019 Leaseback Transaction pursuant to Section 2.10(c) made prior to the Third Amendment Effective Date, the Applicable Make-Whole Amount component of the Prepayment Premium shall not apply and such prepayments will be made together with a premium equal to 3.00% of the amount prepaid in lieu of any other Prepayment Premium (except to the extent permitted by the immediately preceding clause (A)(3)),

(C)     in the case of prepayments of the Loans made with the proceeds of the Specified Properties made on or prior to the first anniversary of the Second Amendment Effective Date, (1) for the first $25,000,000 of such prepayments of the Loans, the Applicable Make-Whole Amount component of the Prepayment Premium shall not apply and such prepayments will be made together with a premium equal to 3.00% of the amount prepaid in lieu of any other Prepayment Premium, and (2) for such prepayments of the Loans in excess of the amount specified in the immediately preceding sub-clause (1), the Prepayment Premium (including the Applicable Make-Whole Amount component thereof) shall apply, and

(D)     for the first $50,925,000 of voluntary prepayments of the Loans under Section 2.9 and/or mandatory prepayments of the Loans under Section 2.10(a) or 2.10(c) made by Borrower during the period commencing on the Third

Amendment Effective Date and ending on January 31, 2020, the Applicable Make-Whole Amount component of the Prepayment Premium shall not apply to such prepayments and such prepayments will be made together with a premium equal to 3.00% of the amount prepaid in lieu of any other Prepayment Premium.

If the Loans are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their maturity date, in each case, as a result of an Event of Default (including upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)), the amount of principal of and premium on the Loans that becomes due and payable shall equal 100% of the principal amount of the Loans plus the Prepayment Premium in effect on the date of such acceleration or such other prior due date, as if such acceleration or other occurrence were a voluntary prepayment of the Loans accelerated or otherwise becoming due. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is understood and agreed that if the Loans are accelerated or otherwise become due prior to their maturity date, in each case, in respect of any Event of Default (including upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or insolvency event (including the acceleration of claims by operation of law)), the Prepayment Premium applicable with respect to a voluntary prepayment of the Loans will also be due and payable on the date of such acceleration or such other prior due date as though the Loans were voluntarily prepaid as of such date and shall constitute part of the Obligations, in view of the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining actual damages and by mutual agreement of the parties as to a reasonable calculation of each Lender’s loss as a result thereof. Any premium payable above shall be presumed to be the liquidated damages sustained by each Lender and the Borrower agrees that it is reasonable under the circumstances currently existing. THE BORROWER 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 PREPAYMENT PREMIUM IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH ACCELERATION. The Borrower expressly agrees (to the fullest extent it may lawfully do so) that: (A) the Prepayment Premium is reasonable and is the product of an arm’s length transaction between sophisticated business people, ably represented by counsel; (B) the Prepayment Premium shall be payable notwithstanding the then prevailing market rates at the time payment is made; (C) there has been a course of conduct between the Lenders and the Borrower giving specific consideration in this transaction for such agreement to pay the Prepayment Premium; and (D) the Borrower shall be estopped hereafter from claiming differently than as agreed to in this paragraph.”
