AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT

This AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (as Modified, extended or replaced from time to time, this “Agreement”) is made and dated as of September 11, 2023, by and among THE MACERICH PARTNERSHIP, L.P., a limited partnership organized under the laws of the state of Delaware, as the Borrower (the “Borrower”); THE MACERICH COMPANY, a Maryland corporation (“MAC”), as a guarantor; THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS FROM TIME TO TIME PARTY HERETO; THE LENDERS FROM TIME TO TIME PARTY HERETO; and DEUTSCHE BANK AG NEW YORK BRANCH (“DBNY”), as administrative agent for the Lenders (in such capacity, together with its permitted successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) and as collateral agent for the Secured Parties (in such capacity, together with its permitted successors and assigns in such capacity, the “Collateral Agent”).

RECITALS

A. On the Original Closing Date, the Borrower, certain of the Guarantors, certain of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent entered into a Credit Agreement (as Modified prior to the date hereof, the “Original Credit Agreement”), which provided for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $525,000,000 and a term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $175,000,000.

B. The Borrower has requested that the Lenders amend and restate the Original Credit Agreement in order to, among other things, provide for a revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount equal to $650,000,000 (as may be increased pursuant to and in accordance with the terms hereof).

C. The Lenders party hereto have agreed to amend and restate the Original Credit Agreement on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement and to provide or continue the Revolving Commitments in the amounts set forth for each such Lender on Schedule II hereto on the Closing Date.

D. DBNY has agreed to continue to act as Administrative Agent and as Collateral Agent on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above Recitals and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

AGREEMENT

ARTICLE 1. The Credits.

1.1. The Revolving Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Revolving Lender with a Revolving Commitment severally agrees to make one or more Revolving Loans in U.S. Dollars to the Borrower during the Availability Period in an aggregate principal amount that will not result in, after giving effect thereto, any of the following: (a) such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Credit Exposure exceeding such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment; (b) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the total Revolving Commitments; or (c) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures exceeding the Borrowing Base Amount. Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Borrower may borrow, prepay and re-borrow Revolving Loans.

1.2. Loans and Borrowings.

(1) Obligations of Lenders. Each Loan shall be made as part of a Borrowing consisting of Loans or portions of a Loan of the same Type made by the Revolving Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments. The failure of any Lender to make any Loan or portion of a Loan required to be made by it shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder; provided that the Revolving Commitments of the Lenders are several and no Lender shall be responsible for any other Lender’s failure to make any Loan or portion of a Loan as required.

(2) Types of Loans. Subject to Section 2.4, each Borrowing shall be constituted entirely of Base Rate Loans or Term SOFR Loans as the Borrower may request in accordance herewith.

(3) Minimum Amounts; Limitation on Number of Borrowings. At the commencement of each Interest Period for any Term SOFR Borrowing, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000. At the time that each Base Rate Borrowing is made, such Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000; provided that a Base Rate Borrowing may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Revolving Commitments or in an amount that is required to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as contemplated by Section 1.4(6). Borrowings of more than one Type may be outstanding at the same time; provided that there shall not at any time be Term SOFR Loans outstanding having more than twelve (12) different Interest Periods.

(4) Limitations on Lengths of Interest Periods. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Borrower shall not be entitled to request, or to elect to convert to or continue as a Term SOFR Borrowing, any Borrowing if the Interest Period requested therefore would end after the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

1.3. Requests for Borrowings. To request a Borrowing, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which notice may be by electronic mail in accordance herewith) (a) in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time), three Business Days before the date of the proposed Revolving Borrowing or (b) in the case of a Base Rate Borrowing, not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing. Each such Borrowing Request shall be irrevocable, shall be signed by a Responsible Officer and shall be in the form of Exhibit A hereto. Each such Borrowing Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 1.2:

(i) the aggregate amount of the requested Borrowing;

(ii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day;

(iii) whether such Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a Term SOFR Borrowing;

(iv) in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, the Interest Period therefor, which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period” as it relates to Term SOFR Loans; and

(v) the location and number of the Borrower’s account to which funds are to be disbursed, which shall comply with the requirements of Section 1.5.

If no election as to the Type of Borrowing is specified, then the requested Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Borrowing. If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Term SOFR Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration. Promptly following receipt of a Borrowing Request in accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of the amount of such Lender’s Loan to be made as part of the requested Borrowing.

1.4. Letters of Credit.

(1) General. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, in addition to the Loans provided for in Section 1.1, the Borrower may request the Issuing Lenders to issue Letters of Credit for its own account or the account of any Macerich Entity in such form as is acceptable to the applicable Issuing Lender in its reasonable determination at any time prior to the earlier of (i) the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date and (ii) the date of termination of the Revolving Commitments (such earlier date, the “LC Commitment Expiry Date”). Letters of Credit issued hereunder shall constitute utilization of the Revolving Commitments. All Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement must be denominated in U.S. Dollars and must be standby letters of credit. The only drawings permitted on the Letters of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement shall be sight drawings. The Borrower may request a Letter of Credit from any Issuing Lender selected by the Borrower in its sole discretion. The Borrower shall use commercially reasonable efforts, to the extent practicable, to cause the Letters of Credit to be issued by the Issuing Lenders on a proportionate basis in accordance with their proportionate share of the aggregate Letter of Credit Commitments. It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that each of the Existing Letters of Credit shall constitute a “Letter of Credit” for all purposes under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(2) Notice of Issuance, Amendment or Extension. Whenever it requires that a Letter of Credit be issued, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender(s) written notice thereof at least three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period acceptable to the applicable Issuing Lender(s)) in advance of the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Business Day), which notice shall be in the form of Exhibit B or such other form as reasonably required by such Issuing Lender (each such notice being a “Letter of Credit Request”). Whenever the Borrower requires an amendment or extension of any outstanding Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall, on its letterhead, give the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender(s) written notice thereof at least three (3) Business Days (or such shorter period acceptable to the applicable Issuing Lender(s)) in advance of the proposed date of the amendment (which shall be a Business Day). Letter of Credit Requests and amendment requests may be delivered by electronic mail in accordance herewith. On the first Business Day of each month (and on such other dates as the Administrative Agent may request), each Issuing Lender (other than any Issuing Lender that is also the Administrative Agent) shall provide the Administrative Agent a list of all Letters of Credit issued by it that are outstanding at such time together with information regarding changes in the balances under, and maturity dates of, Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender during the previous month and such other information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request. If requested by an Issuing Lender, the Borrower shall also submit a letter of credit application on such Issuing Lender’s standard form in connection with any request for a Letter of Credit. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of any form of letter of credit application or other agreement submitted by the Borrower to, or entered into by the Borrower with, such Issuing Lender relating to any Letter of Credit, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall control.

(3) Limitations on Amounts. A Letter of Credit shall be issued, amended or extended only if (and upon issuance, amendment or extension of each Letter of Credit the Borrower shall be deemed to represent and warrant that), after giving effect to such issuance, amendment or extension (i) the aggregate LC Exposure of the Issuing Lenders (determined for these purposes without giving effect to the participations therein of the Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 1.4(5) below), collectively, shall not exceed the aggregate Letter of Credit Commitments, (ii) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the total Revolving Commitments, (iii) unless otherwise consented to in writing, the aggregate LC Exposure of an Issuing Lender (determined for these purposes without giving effect to the participations therein of the Revolving Lenders pursuant to Section 1.4(5) below) shall not exceed such Issuing Lender’s Letter of Credit Commitment and (iv) the sum of the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the Borrowing Base Amount. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Issuing Lender shall be obligated to issue a Letter of Credit to the extent that, on the date of such Issuing Lender’s receipt of a request for issuance pursuant to Section 1.4(2) above, the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit shall exceed the unused portion of the Revolving Commitments of such Issuing Lender in its capacity as a Lender on such date. Each Letter of Credit shall be in an amount of $100,000 or larger.

(4) Expiration Date. Each Letter of Credit shall expire at or prior to the close of business on the earlier of (i) the date twelve months after the date of the issuance of such Letter of Credit or, in the case of any extension thereof (which extensions, subject to clause (ii) hereof, may be automatic pursuant to the terms of such Letter of Credit), twelve months after the then-current expiration date of such Letter of Credit and (ii) the Outside L/C Maturity Date; provided that, if one or more Letters of Credit shall have an expiry date that is later than the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, (x) the Borrower shall provide Cash Collateral pursuant to and in accordance with Section 1.4(11) with respect to such Letters of Credit on or prior to the date that is five days before the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, (y) the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 1.4 in respect of such Letters of Credit shall survive the Revolving Commitment Termination Date and shall remain in effect until no such Letters of Credit remain outstanding (or remain subject to any pending drawing) and (z) each Revolving Lender shall be reinstated hereunder, to the extent any such Cash Collateral, the application thereof or reimbursement in respect thereof is required to be returned to the Borrower by the applicable Issuing Lender after the Revolving Commitment Termination Date until no such Letters of Credit remain outstanding (or remain subject to any pending drawing).

(5) Participations. By the issuance of a Letter of Credit (or an amendment to a Letter of Credit increasing the amount thereof) by an Issuing Lender, and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Lender or the Revolving Lenders, such Issuing Lender hereby grants to each Revolving Lender, and each Revolving Lender hereby acquires from such Issuing Lender, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit equal to such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations pursuant to this section in respect of Letters of Credit is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including any amendment or extension of any Letter of Credit or the occurrence and continuance of a Potential Default or Event of Default or reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments, and that each payment made in accordance with the following paragraph of this Section 1.4(5) by a Revolving Lender for the account of an Issuing Lender shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or reduction whatsoever.

In consideration and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for account of the applicable Issuing Lender, such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage of each LC Disbursement made by such Issuing Lender promptly upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such Issuing Lender at any time from the time of such LC Disbursement until such LC Disbursement is reimbursed by the Borrower or at any time after any reimbursement payment is required to be refunded to the Borrower for any reason. Each such payment shall be made in the same manner as provided in Section 1.5 with respect to Revolving Loans made by such Revolving Lender (and Section 1.5 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to the payment obligations of the Revolving Lenders), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay to the applicable Issuing Lender the amounts so received by it from the Revolving Lenders. Promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of any payment from the Borrower pursuant to the next following paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such payment to the applicable Issuing Lender or, to the extent that the Revolving Lenders have made payments pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse such Issuing Lender, then to such Revolving Lenders and such Issuing Lender as their interests may appear. Any payment made by a Revolving Lender pursuant to this paragraph to reimburse the Issuing Lenders for any LC Disbursement shall not constitute a Revolving Loan and shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such LC Disbursement.

(6) Reimbursement. If an Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement in respect of a Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Lender in respect of such LC Disbursement by paying to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such LC Disbursement not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on (i) the Business Day that the Borrower receives notice of such LC Disbursement, if such notice is received prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York time) or (ii) the Business Day immediately following the day that the Borrower receives such notice, if such notice is not received prior to such time; provided that, anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, (A) unless the Borrower shall have notified Administrative Agent and such Issuing Lender prior to 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date on which the Borrower is obligated to reimburse such Issuing Lender in respect of such LC Disbursement (the “Reimbursement Date”) that the Borrower intends to reimburse such Issuing Lender for the amount of such payment with funds other than the proceeds of a Base Rate Borrowing, the Borrower shall be deemed to have delivered an irrevocable Borrowing Request to Administrative Agent containing all of the representations set forth in Exhibit A requesting Revolving Lenders to make Base Rate Loans on the Business Day following the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of the payment and (B) subject to satisfaction or written waiver of the conditions specified in Section 1.1 and 5.2 in accordance with the terms thereof, Revolving Lenders shall, on the Reimbursement Date, make Base Rate Loans in the amount of such payment, the proceeds of which shall be applied directly by Administrative Agent to reimburse such Issuing Lender for the amount of such payment; provided, further, that no Potential Default or Event of Default shall be deemed to exist by reason of a failure of the Borrower to reimburse such Issuing Lender pending the making of such Revolving Loans on the Business Day following the applicable Reimbursement Date in accordance with the terms hereof, including the prior satisfaction or written waiver of the conditions specified in Section 1.1 and 5.2 in accordance with the terms thereof; and provided, further that, if for any reason proceeds of Revolving Loans are not received by such Issuing Lender on the Business Day following the Reimbursement Date in an amount equal to the amount of such payment, the Borrower shall immediately reimburse such Issuing Lender, on demand, in an amount in same day funds equal to the excess of the amount of such payment over the aggregate amount of such Revolving Loans, if any, which are so received. If the Borrower fails to make such payment when due, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the applicable LC Disbursement, the payment then due from the Borrower in respect thereof and such Revolving Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage thereof. The applicable Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent upon the making of each LC Disbursement.

(7) Obligations Absolute. The Borrower’s obligation to reimburse LC Disbursements as provided in Section 1.4(6) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be performed in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under any and all circumstances whatsoever and irrespective of (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit, or any term or provision therein, (ii) any draft or other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, (iii) payment by the applicable Issuing Lender under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or other document that does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, and (iv) any other event or circumstance whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s obligations hereunder.

Neither the Administrative Agent, the Revolving Lenders nor any Issuing Lender, nor any of their Related Parties, shall have any liability or responsibility by reason of or in connection with the issuance or amendment (including any extension) of any Letter of Credit by any Issuing Lender or any payment or failure to make any payment thereunder (irrespective of any of the circumstances referred to in the preceding sentence), or any error, omission, interruption, loss or delay in transmission or delivery of any draft, notice or other communication under or relating to any Letter of Credit (including any document required to make a drawing thereunder), any error in interpretation of technical terms, any error in translation or any consequence arising from causes beyond the control of any Issuing Lender; provided that the foregoing shall not be construed to excuse an Issuing Lender from liability to the Borrower to the extent of any direct damages (as opposed to consequential, special, indirect and/or punitive damages, claims in respect of which are hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by applicable law) suffered by the Borrower that are caused by such Issuing Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction) when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof. The parties hereto expressly agree that: (i) an Issuing Lender may accept documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of a Letter of Credit without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and may make payment upon presentation of documents that appear on their face to be in substantial compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (ii) an Issuing Lender shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to decline to accept such documents and to make such payment if such documents are not in strict compliance with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and (iii) this sentence and the immediately preceding sentence shall establish the standard of care to be exercised by an Issuing Lender when determining whether drafts and other documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms thereof (and the parties hereto hereby waive, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any standard of care inconsistent with the foregoing).

(8) Disbursement Procedures. The applicable Issuing Lender shall, within a reasonable time following its receipt thereof, examine all documents purporting to represent a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender. Such Issuing Lender shall, promptly after such examination, notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower by telephone (confirmed by facsimile) of such demand for payment if such Issuing Lender has made or will make an LC Disbursement thereunder; provided that any failure to give or delay in giving such notice shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Lender and the Revolving Lenders with respect to any such LC Disbursement.

(9) Interim Interest. If an Issuing Lender shall make any LC Disbursement, then, unless the Borrower shall reimburse such LC Disbursement in full on the date Borrower receives notice that such LC Disbursement was made, the unpaid amount thereof shall bear interest, for each day from and including the date such LC Disbursement is made to but excluding the date that the Borrower reimburses such LC Disbursement, at the rate per annum then applicable to Base Rate Loans; provided that, if the Borrower fails to reimburse such LC Disbursement within three (3) days when due pursuant to Section 1.4(6), then Section 9.1 shall apply. Interest accrued pursuant to this section shall be for account of the applicable Issuing Lender, except that a pro rata portion of the interest accrued on and after the date of payment by any Revolving Lender pursuant to Section 1.4(5) to reimburse an Issuing Lender shall be for account of such Revolving Lender to the extent of such payment.

(10) Policy and Requirements of Law Limitations. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 1.4 to the contrary, an Issuing Lender may elect not to issue or amend (including extension of) a Letter of Credit hereunder to the extent that it reasonably determines that the issuance (or such amendment) of such Letter of Credit would breach, violate or be inconsistent with any Requirements of Law applicable to such Issuing Lender or would violate one or more policies of such Issuing Lender applicable to letters of credit generally. In such event, the Borrower may select an alternative Issuing Lender to issue such Letter of Credit.

(11) Cash Collateralization

(1) .

(A) On or prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower shall deposit into an account (the “LC Collateral Account”) established by the Collateral Agent an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure with respect to the Borrower as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (the “Revolving Commitment Termination LC Exposure Deposit”). In addition:

(i) if an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing and the Borrower receives notice from the Administrative Agent, an Issuing Lender or the Required Lenders (or, if the maturity of the Revolving Loans has been accelerated, Revolving Lenders with LC Exposure representing more than 50% of the total LC Exposure) demanding the deposit of Cash Collateral pursuant to this paragraph the Borrower shall immediately deposit into the LC Collateral Account an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure with respect to the Borrower as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon; provided that the obligation to deposit such Cash Collateral shall become effective immediately, and such deposit shall become immediately due and payable, without demand or other notice of any kind, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default with respect to any Borrower Party or any other Consolidated Entities described in Section 9.7; and

(ii) if at any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (only to the extent necessary as determined after giving effect to Section 1.12(1)(D)) in an amount in cash equal to the LC Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender as of such date plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

Such deposits shall be held by the Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Revolving Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Agents, in the LC Collateral Account as collateral in the first instance for the LC Exposure with respect to the Borrower under this Agreement and thereafter for the payment of the other Secured Obligations of the Borrower owing to the Secured Parties.

(B) The LC Collateral Account shall be maintained in the name of the Collateral Agent (on behalf of the Secured Parties) and under its sole dominion and control at such place as shall be designated by the Collateral Agent. Interest shall accrue on the LC Collateral Account at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate minus 0.15% (or such other rate as may be agreed to between the Borrower and the Collateral Agent in writing).

(C) The Borrower hereby pledges, assigns and grants to the Collateral Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, a lien on and a security interest in, the following collateral (the “Letter of Credit Collateral”):

(i) the LC Collateral Account, all cash deposited therein and all certificates and instruments, if any, from time to time representing or evidencing the LC Collateral Account;

(ii) all notes, certificates of deposit and other cash-equivalent instruments from time to time hereafter delivered to or otherwise possessed by the Collateral Agent for or on behalf of the Borrower in substitution for or in respect of any or all of the then existing Letter of Credit Collateral;

(iii) all interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the then existing Letter of Credit Collateral; and

(iv) to the extent not covered by the above clauses, all proceeds of any or all of the foregoing Letter of Credit Collateral.

The lien and security interest granted hereby secures the payment of all Secured Obligations.

(D) Neither the Borrower nor any Person claiming or acting on behalf of or through the Borrower shall have any right to withdraw any of the funds held in the LC Collateral Account, except as provided in Section 1.4(11)(G).

(E) The Borrower agrees that it will not (i) sell or otherwise dispose of any interest in the Letter of Credit Collateral or (ii) create or permit to exist any lien, security interest or other charge or encumbrance upon or with respect to any of the Letter of Credit Collateral, except for the security interest created by this Section 1.4(11).

(F) At any time an Event of Default shall be continuing:

(i) the Collateral Agent may, in its sole discretion, without notice to the Borrower except as required by law and at any time from time to time, charge, set off or otherwise apply all or any part of the LC Collateral Account to first, the aggregate amount of LC Disbursements that have not been reimbursed by the Borrower and second, any other unpaid Secured Obligations then due and payable, in such order as the Collateral Agent shall elect. The rights of the Collateral Agent under this Section 1.4(11) are in addition to any rights and remedies which any Lender may have.

(ii) The Collateral Agent may also exercise, in its sole discretion, in respect of the LC Collateral Account, in addition to the other rights and remedies provided herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC in effect in the State of New York at that time.

(G) At such time prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date as all Events of Default have been cured or waived in writing and there are no unreimbursed LC Disbursements outstanding or, in the case of any cash collateral provided as a result of the classification of a Lender as a Defaulting Lender, the termination of the Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender, all amounts remaining in the LC Collateral Account shall be promptly returned to the Borrower. For avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence shall not affect Borrower’s obligation to make the Revolving Commitment Termination LC Exposure Deposit on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date as otherwise provided in Section 1.4(11)(A). Any surplus of the funds held in the LC Collateral Account remaining after Payment in Full shall be paid to the Borrower or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

(12) Resignation of an Issuing Lender. Any Issuing Lender may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Borrower so long as one or more other Issuing Lenders shall have agreed to enter into an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement with respect to the entire amount of such resigning Issuing Lender’s Letter of Credit Commitment, after which time the Letter of Credit Commitments of such Issuing Lender shall be reduced to zero. After the resignation of an Issuing Lender hereunder, the retiring Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters of Credit or to extend, reinstate, or increase any existing Letter of Credit.

1.5. Funding of Borrowings.

(1) Funding by Lenders. Each Lender shall make each Loan to be made by it hereunder on the proposed date thereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at the Contact Office, ABA No. 021-001-033, for further credit to Commercial Loan Division, Account No. 60200119, Reference: The Macerich Company, no later than 12:00 p.m. (New York time). The Administrative Agent will make such Loans available to the Borrower pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof by promptly crediting the amounts so received, in like funds, to an account of the Borrower maintained with the Administrative Agent in New York City (or any other location if agreed to by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing) and designated by the Borrower in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that Base Rate Borrowings that are Revolving Borrowings made to finance the reimbursement of an LC Disbursement as provided in Section 1.4(6) shall be remitted by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Issuing Lender.

(2) Presumption by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in accordance with Section 1.5(1) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate or (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans (it being intended that such interest payment shall be the only interest payment payable by the Borrower with respect to any amount repaid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this paragraph, except that Section 2.12 shall apply if the Borrower fails to make such repayment within three (3) days after the date of such payment as required hereunder). If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.

1.6. Interest Elections.

(1) Elections by the Borrower for Borrowings. Each Borrowing initially shall be of the Type specified in the applicable Borrowing Request and, in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, shall have an initial Interest Period as specified in such Borrowing Request (which shall be a period contemplated by the definition of the term “Interest Period”). Thereafter, the Borrower may elect to convert such Borrowing to a different Type or to continue such Borrowing and, in the case of a Term SOFR Borrowing, may elect Interest Periods therefor, all as provided in this Section; provided, however, any conversion or continuation of Term SOFR Loans shall be subject to the provisions of Sections 1.2(3) and (4). The Borrower may elect different options with respect to different portions of the affected Borrowing, in which case each such portion shall be allocated ratably among the Revolving Lenders holding the Revolving Loans comprising such Borrowing in accordance with each such Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage thereof, and the Loans comprising each such portion shall be considered a separate Borrowing.

(2) Notice of Elections. To make an election pursuant to this Section, the Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such election (which notice may be by electronic mail in accordance herewith) by the time that a Borrowing Request would be required under Section 1.3 if the Borrower was requesting a Borrowing of the Type resulting from such election to be made on the effective date of such election. Each such Rate Request shall be irrevocable, shall be signed by a Responsible Officer and shall be in the form of Exhibit C hereto (or such other form as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent).

(3) Information in Interest Election Requests. Each Rate Request shall specify the following information in compliance with Section 1.2:

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

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

(iii) whether the resulting Borrowing is to be a Base Rate Borrowing or a Term SOFR Borrowing; and

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

If any such Rate Request requests a Term SOFR Borrowing but does not specify an Interest Period, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.

(4) Notice by the Administrative Agent to Lenders. Promptly following receipt of a Rate Request, the Administrative Agent shall advise each applicable Lender of the details thereof and of such Lender’s portion of each resulting Borrowing.

(5) Failure to Elect; Potential Default and Events of Default. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Rate Request with respect to a Term SOFR Borrowing prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto, then, unless such

Borrowing is repaid as provided herein, at the end of such Interest Period such Borrowing shall be converted to a Term SOFR Borrowing with a one month Interest Period so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default is continuing and otherwise to a Base Rate Borrowing. Notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, if a Potential Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the day occurring three Business Days prior to the date of, or on the date of, the requested funding, continuation or conversion, then, so long as a Potential Default or an Event of Default is continuing (i) no outstanding Borrowing may be converted to or continued as a Term SOFR Borrowing and (ii) unless repaid, each Term SOFR Borrowing shall be converted to a Base Rate Borrowing at the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto.

1.7. Termination, Reduction and Extension of the Revolving Commitments.

(1) Scheduled Termination. Unless previously terminated, the Revolving Commitments shall terminate at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

(2) Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Borrower may at any time terminate, or from time to time reduce, the Revolving Commitments; provided that (i) each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be in an amount that is $5,000,000 or a larger multiple of $1,000,000 and (ii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments if, after giving effect to any concurrent prepayment or repayment of the Revolving Loans in accordance with Section 1.9, the total Revolving Credit Exposures would exceed the total Revolving Commitments.

(3) Notice of Voluntary Termination or Reduction. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent of any election to terminate or reduce the Revolving Commitments under Section 1.7(2) above at least three Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction, specifying such election and the effective date thereof. Promptly following receipt of any notice, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Revolving Lenders of the contents thereof. Each notice delivered by the Borrower pursuant to this Section shall be irrevocable; provided that a notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments delivered by the Borrower may state that such notice is conditioned upon the effectiveness of other credit facilities, in which case such notice may be revoked by the Borrower (by notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the specified effective date) if such condition is not satisfied.

(4) Effect of Termination or Reduction. Any termination or reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be permanent; provided that any such termination or reduction shall not reduce the Maximum Increase Amount. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall be made ratably among the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments.

(5) Extension of Revolving Commitment Termination Date

(1) .

(A) The Borrower shall have the option, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this clause (5), to extend the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date by twelve (12) months to February 1, 2028 (the “Extended Revolving Commitment Termination Date” and such option, the “Extension Option”). In order to exercise the Extension Option, the Borrower must deliver written notice (the “Extension Notice”) to the Administrative Agent at least thirty (30) days (but no more than ninety (90) days) prior to the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date (the date of delivery of the Extension Notice to the Administrative Agent, the “Extension Notice Date”), which Extension Notice shall include a certification from the Borrower that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing as of the Extension Notice Date.

(B) The extension of the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date to the Extended Revolving Commitment Termination Date shall be subject to the prior (or concurrent) satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent:

(i) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Revolving Lenders (excluding any Defaulting Lender) an extension fee equal to 0.25% of the total Revolving Commitments outstanding as of the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date (excluding such Defaulting Lender’s portion of the Revolving Commitment to the extent not reallocated to Non-Defaulting Lenders) which fee the Borrower hereby agrees shall be fully earned and nonrefundable under any circumstances when paid;

(ii) on or within three (3) Business Days prior to the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Borrower, dated as of the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date (“Extension Certificate”) containing the following:

(a) a certification by the Borrower that, as of the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date, (x) no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such extension, and (y) the representations and warranties made by the Borrower Parties in the Loan Documents are true and correct in all material respects (except for changes in factual circumstances not prohibited under the Loan Documents) on and as of the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date); provided however, that any representation or warranty that is qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects subject to such qualifiers;

(b) an acknowledgement, reaffirmation and ratification, on behalf of the Borrower Parties, that all obligations (and prior grants of security interests) of the Borrower Parties under the Loan Documents, as extended, as of the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date, remain in full force and effect;

(c) as an attachment thereto, a Compliance Certificate demonstrating that MAC and the Borrower are in compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 8.11 as of the last day of the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter for which financial statements were required to have been delivered pursuant to Section 7.1; and

(d) as an attachment thereto, a Borrowing Base Certificate as of the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date showing reasonably detailed calculations of the Borrowing Base Amount and the Borrowing Base Values.

Borrower’s delivery of the Extension Certificate shall satisfy the requirements of this clause (ii) unless (x) the certification of the Borrower required pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (a) is made in manifest error, (y) any Borrower Party has actual knowledge on or prior to the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date that the certification of the Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (a) is inaccurate, or (z) the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower in writing (including email) on or prior to the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date that the certification of the Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (a) is inaccurate (i.e., because either (A) a Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such extension or (B) the representations and warranties described in clause (ii)(a)(Y) are inaccurate), in which case this clause (ii) shall not be satisfied and the extension of the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date shall not be effective.

(iii) to the extent invoiced at least three (3) Business Days prior to the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower shall have paid all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and all reasonable fees and expenses paid to third party consultants (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) by the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent in connection with such extension; and

(iv) (a) solely to the extent required by any Requirements of Law to maintain the enforceability and/or priority of any Mortgage in respect of a Mortgaged Property, the Borrower Parties shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent (I) an amendment to such Mortgage extending the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date and such other amendments as reasonably required by the Administrative Agent, (II) title insurance endorsements to the title policy for such Mortgaged Property insuring that the insured’s Lien continues in full force and effect subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, as reasonably required by Administrative Agent and (III) evidence satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that all premiums in respect of any title insurance endorsements referred to in the foregoing clause (II), all charges for additional mortgage recording tax, if any, and all related expenses for such Mortgaged Property, as reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent, have been paid and (b) solely to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent (or any Lender acting through the Administrative Agent) prior to the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date with respect to any Mortgaged Property, the Borrower Parties shall have delivered (or caused to be delivered) to the Administrative Agent the documentation and information required under clause (viii) of the definition of Mortgaged Property Deliverables with respect to such Mortgaged Property. The Administrative Agent shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (A) determine whether any of the items set forth in clause (a) above are required and/or whether it or any Lender will require the items set forth in clause (b) above and (B) if applicable, request such items from the Borrower within 10 Business Days after the Administrative Agent receives the Extension Notice.

(C) The Administrative Agent shall notify each of the Revolving Lenders in the event that the Borrower delivers an Extension Notice as provided in this Section 1.7(5) and upon the effectiveness of the extension of the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date to the Extended Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

(D) If requested by the Administrative Agent in connection with the Borrower’s exercise of the Extension Option, the Borrower Parties shall, at their own expense, promptly deliver to the Administrative Agent an updated Appraisal with respect to any Borrowing Base Mortgaged Property Asset that has a most recent Appraisal in excess of one year old; provided that (i) such Appraisals shall be provided for informational purposes only and the values set forth therein shall not impact the Borrower’s right to extend the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date as set forth above (or otherwise) and (ii) the delivery of such Appraisals shall not constitute a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the extension of the Initial Revolving Commitment Termination Date to the Extended Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

1.8. Manner of Payment of Loans; Evidence of Debt.

(1) Repayment at Maturity. Subject to any earlier acceleration of the Revolving Loans following an Event of Default, the Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for account of the Revolving Lenders the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date.

(2) Manner of Payment. The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing (which notice may be by electronic mail in accordance herewith) of any repayment or prepayment hereunder (i) in the case of repayment or prepayment of a Term SOFR Borrowing with an Interest Period not expiring on the date of payment, not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) one Business Day before the date of repayment or prepayment, or (ii) in the case of repayment or prepayment of a Term SOFR Borrowing with Interest Periods expiring on the date of repayment or prepayment or a Base Rate Borrowing, not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) one Business Day before the date of repayment or prepayment. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the repayment or prepayment date and the principal amount of each Borrowing or portion thereof to be repaid or prepaid; provided that, if a notice of repayment or prepayment is given in connection with a conditional notice of termination of the Revolving Commitments as contemplated by Section 1.7, then such notice of repayment or prepayment may be revoked if such notice of termination is revoked in accordance with Section 1.7. Promptly following receipt of any such notice relating to a Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall advise the Lenders of the Loans included in such Borrowing of the contents thereof. Each repayment or prepayment of a Borrowing shall be applied ratably to the Loans included in the repaid or prepaid Borrowing. Repayments and prepayments shall be accompanied by (A) accrued interest and (B) any payments due pursuant to Section 2.9. If the Borrower fails to make a timely selection of the Borrowing or Borrowings to be repaid or prepaid, such payment shall be applied, first, to pay any outstanding Base Rate Borrowings and, second, to other Borrowings in the order of the remaining duration of their respective Interest Periods (the Borrowing with the shortest remaining Interest Period to be repaid first).

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

(4) Maintenance of Register by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall maintain a register in which it shall record the names and addresses of Lenders and Issuing Lenders and the Commitments, Letter of Credit Commitments, the principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Loans of each Lender and the available balance of outstanding Letters of Credit of each Issuing Lender from time to time (the “Register”). The Register shall be available for inspection at the Administrative Agent’s notice address or by email upon request by Borrower, any Lender (with respect to any entry relating to such Lender’s Loans) or any Issuing Lender (with respect to any entry relating to Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender) at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Administrative Agent shall record, or shall cause to be recorded, in the Register the Commitments and the Loans in accordance with the provisions of Section 10.6, and each repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans, and any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower and each Lender, absent manifest error; provided that the failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect any Lender’s Commitments or Loans or Borrower’s Obligations in respect of any Loan. Borrower hereby designates Administrative Agent to serve as Borrower’s non-fiduciary agent solely for purposes of maintaining the Register as provided in this Section 1.8(4), and Borrower hereby agrees that, to the extent Administrative Agent serves in such capacity, Administrative Agent and its officers, directors, employees, agents, sub-agents and affiliates shall constitute “Indemnified Persons.”

(5) Effect of Entries. The entries made in the accounts maintained pursuant to Sections 1.8(3) and (4) above shall be prima facie evidence of the existence and amounts of the obligations recorded therein; provided that the failure of any Lender or the Administrative Agent to maintain such accounts or any error therein shall not in any manner affect the obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(6) Promissory Notes. Upon the request of a Revolving Lender, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Revolving Lender a Revolving Loan Note evidencing such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment.

1.9. Repayment of Loans.

(1) Optional Prepayment. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Borrowing in whole or in part, subject to the requirements of this Section; provided, however, that voluntary prepayments (other than a prepayment in whole) shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof.

(2) Mandatory Repayment of Revolving Loans.

(A) If on any day the total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the Borrowing Base Amount, the Borrower shall promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days of the occurrence thereof), in its discretion, (x) repay an aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans and LC Disbursements (or, if no Revolving Loans or LC Disbursements are outstanding at such time, Cash Collateralize any issued and outstanding Letters of Credit) in an amount sufficient to cause the total Revolving Credit Exposure to be equal to or less than the Borrowing Base Amount and/or (y) provide additional Borrowing Base Assets in accordance with Section 7.14 that increase the Borrowing Base Amount by an amount sufficient to cause the total Revolving Credit Exposure to be equal to or less than the Borrowing Base Amount.

(B) If on any day the total Revolving Credit Exposure exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders, the Borrower shall promptly (but in any event within three (3) Business Days of the occurrence thereof) repay an aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans and LC Disbursements (or, if no Revolving Loans or LC Disbursements are outstanding at such time, Cash Collateralize any issued and outstanding Letters of Credit) in an amount sufficient to cause the total Revolving Credit Exposure to be equal to or less than the aggregate Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders.

(C) All repayments under this Section 1.9(2) shall be made together with accrued interest to the date of such repayment on the principal amount repaid.

1.10. Interest.

(1) Base Rate Loans. The Loans comprising each Base Rate Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Base Rate.

(2) Term SOFR Loans. The Loans constituting each Term SOFR Borrowing shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Term SOFR Rate for the Interest Period for such Borrowing.

(3) Payment of Interest.

(A) The Borrower shall pay interest on Base Rate Borrowings monthly, in arrears, on the last Business Day of each calendar month, as set forth on an interest billing delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower (which delivery may be by facsimile transmission) no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date such interest is due.

(B) The Borrower shall pay interest on the Term SOFR Borrowings on the last day of the applicable Interest Period or, in the case of Term SOFR Borrowings with an Interest Period ending later than three months after the date funded, converted or continued, at the end of each three month period from the date funded, converted or continued and on the last day of the applicable Interest Period, as set forth on an interest billing delivered by the Administrative Agent to the Borrower (which delivery may be by facsimile transmission) no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the date such interest is due.

(4) Conforming Changes. In connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR or any other Benchmark, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, shall have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of the Borrower or any other party to this Agreement. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any such Conforming Changes in connection with the use or administration of Term SOFR or such other Benchmark.

1.11. Presumptions of Payment. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the applicable Lenders or the applicable Issuing Lenders, as the case may be, the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the applicable Lenders or the applicable Issuing Lenders, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Lender with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

1.12. Defaulting Lenders.

(1) Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable law:

(A) Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender shall be deemed not to be a “Lender” for purposes of any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to any provision of the Loan Documents that requires the approval of the Required Lenders.

(B) Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article 9 or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 11.17 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lenders hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with Section 1.4(11); fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default is continuing other than any such Potential Default or Event of Default that is caused by or attributable to the default by the Defaulting Lender), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 1.4(11); sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender or any Issuing Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Potential Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or LC Disbursements in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 5.2 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and LC Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or LC Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in LC Disbursements are held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with the Revolving Commitments without giving effect to Section 1.12(1)(D). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this Section 1.12(1)(B) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(i) No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Unused Line Fee for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).

(ii) Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive Letter of Credit Fees for any period during which that Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Applicable Revolving Percentage of the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit for which such Defaulting Lender has provided cash collateral from its own funds with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage of the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit.

(iii) With respect to any Unused Line Fee or Letter of Credit Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Disbursements that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (D) below, (y) pay to the applicable Issuing Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Disbursements that has not been reallocated to a Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (D) below but instead has been retained as Fronting Exposure by such Issuing Lender and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such fee.

(D) Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in LC Exposure shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders which are Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Applicable Revolving Percentages (calculated without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent that such reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment. Subject to Section 11.24, no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.

(E) Cash Collateral. If the reallocation described in clause (D) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in Section 1.4(11).

(2) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case of any Revolving Lender that is a Defaulting Lender, each Issuing Lender) agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit to be held pro rata by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with the Revolving Commitments (without giving effect to Section 1.12(1)(D)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that, except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

(3) New Letters of Credit. So long as any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, no Issuing Lender shall be required to issue, extend or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

(4) Removal of Defaulting Lender. At the Borrower’s request, the Administrative Agent or an Eligible Assignee reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent shall have the right (but not the obligation) to purchase from any Defaulting Lender, and each Defaulting Lender shall, upon such request, sell and assign to the Administrative Agent or such Eligible Assignee, all of the Defaulting Lender’s outstanding Commitments and Loans hereunder. Such sale shall be consummated promptly after the Administrative Agent has arranged for a purchase by the Administrative Agent or an Eligible Assignee pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, and at a price equal to the outstanding principal balance of the Defaulting Lender’s Loans, plus accrued interest, without premium or discount.

ARTICLE 2. General Provisions Regarding Payments.

2.1. Payments by the Borrower. The Borrower shall make each payment required to be made by it hereunder (whether of principal, interest or fees or reimbursement of LC Disbursements, or under Section 2.7, 2.9 or 2.10, or otherwise) or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York time) (unless otherwise specified in this Agreement), on the date when due, in immediately available funds, without set-off or counterclaim; provided that if a new Loan is to be made by any Lender on a date the Borrower is to repay any principal of an outstanding Loan of such Lender, such Lender shall apply the proceeds of such new Loan to the payment of the principal to be repaid and only an amount equal to the difference between the principal to be borrowed and the principal to be repaid shall be made available by such Lender to the Administrative Agent as provided in Section 1.5 or paid by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this paragraph, as the case may be. Any amounts received after such time on any date may, in the discretion of the Administrative Agent, be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day for purposes of calculating interest thereon. All such payments shall be wired to the Administrative Agent at the Contact Office, ABA No. 021-001-033, for further credit to Commercial Loan Division, Account No. 60200119, Reference: The Macerich Company, except as otherwise expressly provided in the relevant Loan Document, and except payments to be made directly to an Issuing Lender as expressly provided herein and except that payments pursuant to Sections 2.7, 2.9, 2.10 and 11.14 shall be made directly to the Persons entitled thereto. The Administrative Agent shall distribute any such payments received by it for the account of any other Person to the appropriate recipient promptly following receipt thereof. If any payment hereunder shall be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the date for payment shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, in the case of any payment accruing interest, interest thereon shall be payable for the period of such extension. All payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document (except to the extent otherwise provided therein) shall be made in Dollars.

2.2. Pro Rata Treatment. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (i) each Revolving Borrowing shall be made from the Revolving Lenders, each payment of the Unused Line Fee under Section 2.11 shall be made for account of the Revolving Lenders, each payment of the Letter of Credit Fees under Section 2.11 shall be made for account of the Revolving Lenders and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Revolving Commitments under Section 1.7 shall be applied to the respective Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Commitments; (ii) each Revolving Borrowing shall be allocated pro rata among the Revolving Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Commitments (in the case of the making of Revolving Loans) or their respective Revolving Loans (in the case of conversions and continuations of Loans); (iii) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Loans by the Borrower shall be made for account of the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Loans held by them; and (iv) each payment of interest on Revolving Loans by the Borrower shall be made for account of the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Revolving Loans then due and payable to the respective Revolving Lenders. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) all of the Secured Obligations of the Borrower are guarantied by the Guarantors under Loan Documents on a pari passu basis and (y) all of the Secured Obligations are secured by all Collateral on a pari passu basis (subject to allocated loan amounts in certain cases).

2.3. [Reserved].

2.4. Inability to Determine Rates; Alternate Rate.

(1) In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have determined in its sole but good faith discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower and the Lenders absent manifest error) that one or more Benchmark Transition Events shall have occurred, the Administrative Agent shall determine the corresponding Benchmark Replacement Date in accordance with the definition thereof, and the Administrative Agent shall, at any time after the Benchmark Replacement Date, have the sole and exclusive right at its election, to be exercised in its sole but good faith discretion, upon prior notice to the Borrower, to convert any Loan (or all Loans, including on a go-forward basis) from a Term SOFR Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan based on the applicable Benchmark Replacement selected by the Administrative Agent as provided in the definition thereof, or if such Loan had previously been converted to an Alternate Rate Loan based upon a Benchmark Replacement, to an Alternate Rate Loan based on the applicable alternative Benchmark Replacement selected by the Administrative Agent as provided in the definition thereof; provided in each case that such conversion shall be subject to satisfaction of the following conditions: (A) at the time of conversion, such applicable Benchmark Replacement is a floating rate index that is then, or the Administrative Agent anticipates will be, generally used by the Administrative Agent in its syndicated floating rate commercial real estate loans as an alternative to the then-current Benchmark, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole but good faith discretion, and (B) such applicable Benchmark Replacement is administratively and commercially reasonable for the Administrative Agent and each Lender to implement, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its sole but good faith discretion; provided further that the Borrower shall be entitled to direct that in lieu of conversion to an Alternate Rate Loan such Term SOFR Loans (or Alternate Rate Loans, as applicable) be converted to Base Rate Loans. In the event the foregoing conditions shall be satisfied and such Loan is converted to an Alternate Rate Loan as provided above, such Loan shall bear interest at the Applicable Alternate Rate effective as of the first day on which such Loan is converted to the applicable Alternate Rate Loan. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the commencement of any Benchmark Unavailability Period and the conversion of any Loan to the applicable Alternate Rate Loan. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Borrower have the right to convert (x) a Term SOFR Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan or (y) an Alternate Rate Loan accruing interest at a rate based upon the then-current Benchmark Replacement to an alternative Alternate Rate Loan accruing interest at a rate based upon any alternative Benchmark Replacement. For the avoidance of doubt, Borrower may borrow and continue Alternate Rate Loans once the Administrative Agent has established the applicable Alternate Index Rate as provided herein.

(2) In the event that the Administrative Agent shall have determined in its sole and absolute discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower and the Lenders absent manifest error) that Term SOFR cannot be ascertained as provided in the definition of Term SOFR as set forth herein, or that the adoption of any Requirement of Law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to maintain a Term SOFR Loan as contemplated hereunder, or Term SOFR would be in excess of the maximum interest rate that the Borrower may by law pay, and such Loan has not been converted to an Alternate Rate Loan in accordance with Section 2.4(1) above, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders (which may be by telephone or e-mail, followed promptly by written notice). If such notice is given, each Term SOFR Loan shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, or upon such earlier date as may be required by any Requirement of Law, at the Administrative Agent’s option (in the Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion), to a Base Rate Loan bearing interest at the Applicable Base Rate. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Borrower have the right to convert a Term SOFR Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan; provided that Borrower may borrow and continue Alternate Rate Loans once the Administrative Agent has established the applicable Alternate Index Rate as provided herein. Upon the Borrower’s receipt of notice of the commencement of a Benchmark Unavailability Period, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for an advance of, conversion to or continuation of a Term SOFR Loan to be made, converted or continued during any Benchmark Unavailability Period and, failing that, the Borrower will be deemed to have converted any such request into a request for a borrowing of or conversion to a Base Rate Loan.

(3) If, pursuant to Section 2.4(2), a Loan has been converted to or required to be maintained as a Base Rate Loan and the Administrative Agent thereafter determines in its sole but good faith discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower and the Lenders absent manifest error) that the event(s) or circumstance(s) which resulted in such conversion or requirement shall no longer be applicable and Term SOFR can be determined as provided in the definition of Term SOFR as set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders (which may be by telephone or e-mail, followed promptly by written notice) prior to the next succeeding Interest Determination Date. Upon the giving of such notice, such Loan may be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, to a Term SOFR Loan.

(4) If, pursuant to the terms of Section 2.4(1), a Loan has been converted to an Alternate Rate Loan but the Administrative Agent thereafter determines in its sole but good faith discretion (which determination shall be conclusive and binding upon the Borrower and the Lenders absent manifest error) that the applicable Alternate Index Rate cannot be ascertained, or that the adoption of any Requirement of Law or any change therein or in the interpretation or application thereof, shall make it unlawful for any Lender to maintain an Alternate Rate Loan as contemplated hereunder, or the Applicable Alternate Rate would be in excess of the maximum interest rate that the Borrower may by law pay, the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders (which may be by telephone or e-mail, followed promptly by written notice) prior to the next succeeding Interest Determination Date. If such notice is given, each Alternate Rate Loan shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, or upon such earlier date as may be required by any Requirement of Law, to a Base Rate Loan bearing interest at the Applicable Base Rate.

(5) If, pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.4, a Loan has been converted to or required to be maintained as a Base Rate Loan and thereafter the Administrative Agent determines in its sole but good faith discretion that Term SOFR has been succeeded by a Benchmark Replacement and such Benchmark Replacement can be determined, then the Administrative Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right, to be exercised in its sole but good faith discretion, upon notice to the Borrower to convert such Loan from a Base Rate Loan to an Alternate Rate Loan in accordance with, and subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in, the provisions of Section 2.4(1) above, and the Administrative Agent shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Lenders (which may be by telephone or e-mail, followed promptly by written notice) prior to the next succeeding Interest Determination Date, and if such notice is given, the Loan shall be converted, as of the first day of the next succeeding Interest Period, to an Alternate Rate Loan; provided that the Borrower shall be entitled to direct that in lieu of conversion to an Alternate Rate Loan such Base Rate Loans be continued as Base Rate Loans.

(6) The Borrower hereby agrees to pay to each Lender, in accordance with Section 2.9, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender in making any conversion pursuant to this Section 2.4.

(7) In connection with the use, administration, adoption or implementation of a Benchmark Replacement, the Administrative Agent, in consultation with Borrower, shall have the right to make Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, any amendments implementing such Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of any party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the effectiveness of any such Conforming Changes.

(8) Any determination, decision or election that may be made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.4, including, but not limited to, any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date, the calculation of any spread adjustment to achieve neutrality, any Conforming Changes, 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 discretion and without consent from any other party to this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except consultation with the Borrower if and to the extent expressly required by this Section 2.4 and the definitions of terms used in this Section 2.4.

2.5. Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Requirement of 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 whose interest is determined by reference to SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, or to determine or charge interest based upon SOFR, the Term SOFR Reference Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Term SOFR, then, upon notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrower (through the Administrative Agent) (an “Illegality Notice”), (a) any obligation of the Lenders to make Term SOFR Loans, and any right of the Borrower to continue Term SOFR Loans or to convert Base Rate Loans to Term SOFR Loans, shall be suspended, and (b) the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”, in each case until each affected Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of an Illegality Notice, the Borrower shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, upon demand from any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Term SOFR Loans to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference to clause (c) of the definition of “Base Rate”), on the last day of the Interest Period therefor, if all affected Lenders may lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans to such day, or immediately, if any Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such Term SOFR Loans to such day. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 2.9.

2.6. [Reserved].

2.7. Increased Costs.

(1) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.10 (which shall be controlling with respect to the matters covered thereby), in the event that any Change in Law:

(A) Does or shall subject any Lender or any Issuing Lender to any Taxes of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Loan, or change the basis of determining the Taxes imposed on payments to such Lender or such Issuing Lender of principal, fee, interest or any other amount payable hereunder (except for Indemnified Taxes and Excluded Taxes);

(B) Does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, capital or liquidity requirement, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirements against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of such Lender or such Issuing Lender which are not otherwise included in the determination of interest payable on the Obligations;

(D) Does or shall impose on any Lender or any Issuing Lender or the applicable interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Term SOFR Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or such Issuing Lender of making, renewing or maintaining its Revolving Commitment or its Credit Exposure or to increase the cost of such Lender or such Issuing Lender of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit or to reduce any amount receivable in respect thereof or the rate of return on the capital of such Lender or such Issuing Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender or such Issuing Lender, then, in any such case, the Borrower shall, without duplication of amounts payable pursuant to Section 2.10, promptly (and in any event no later than 10 Business Days after receipt by the Borrower of notice from the applicable Lender or the applicable Issuing Lender pursuant to Section 2.7(2) below claiming additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7) pay to such Lender or such Issuing Lender, upon its written demand made through the Administrative Agent, any additional amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender for such additional cost or reduced amounts receivable or rate of return as determined by such Lender or such Issuing Lender with respect to this Agreement or such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s Revolving Commitment, Credit Exposure or Letter of Credit obligations.

(2) If a Lender or an Issuing Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.7, it shall promptly notify the Borrower of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any additional amounts so claimed payable containing the calculation thereof in reasonable detail submitted by a Lender or an Issuing Lender to the Borrower, accompanied by a certification that such Lender or such Issuing Lender has required substantially all obligors under other commitments of this type made available by such Lender or such Issuing Lender to similarly so compensate such Lender or such Issuing Lender, shall constitute prima facie evidence thereof; provided that the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or an Issuing Lender pursuant to this Section 2.7 for any increased cost or reduction in respect of a period occurring more than six months prior to the date that such Lender or such Issuing Lender notifies the Borrower of such Lender’s intention to claim compensation therefor unless the circumstances giving rise to such increased cost or reduction became applicable retroactively, in which case no such time limitation shall apply so long as such Lender requests compensation within six months from the date such circumstances become applicable.

(3) Other than as set forth in this Section 2.7, the failure or delay on the part of any Lender or any Issuing Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation. The provisions of this Section 2.7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of the Loans and all other Obligations.

2.8. Obligation of Lenders to Mitigate; Replacement of Lenders. Each Lender agrees that:

(1) As promptly as reasonably practicable after the officer of such Lender responsible for administering such Lender’s Revolving Commitment and Credit Exposure becomes aware of any event or condition that would entitle such Lender to receive payments under Section 2.7 above or Section 2.10 below or to cease making or maintaining Term SOFR Loans under Section 2.5 above, such Lender will use reasonable efforts: (i) to maintain its Revolving Commitment and Credit Exposure through another lending office of such Lender or (ii) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable, if as a result thereof the additional amounts which would otherwise be required to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Section 2.7 above or pursuant to Section 2.10 below would be materially reduced or eliminated or the conditions rendering such Lender incapable of making or maintaining Term SOFR Loans under Section 2.5 above no longer would be applicable, and if, as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, the maintaining of such Term SOFR Loans through such other lending office or in accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise materially adversely affect such Term SOFR Loans or the interests of such Lender.

(2) If the Borrower receives a notice pursuant to Section 2.7 above or pursuant to Section 2.10 below or a notice pursuant to Section 2.5 above stating that a Lender is unable to make or maintain Term SOFR Loans (for reasons not generally applicable to the Required Lenders) or if any other circumstance exists hereunder which gives Borrower the right to replace a Lender as a party hereto pursuant to this Section, so long as (i) no Potential Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) the Borrower has obtained a commitment from another Lender or an Eligible Assignee to purchase at par such Lender’s Revolving Commitment, its Credit Exposure at such time and accrued interest and fees and to assume all obligations of the Lender to be replaced under the Loan Documents and (iii) if applicable, such Lender to be replaced is unwilling to withdraw the notice delivered to the Borrower, upon the date following the date on which such Lender confirms in writing to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent that it is unwilling to withdraw such notice, or, if no such written confirmation has been given, five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to such Lender and the Administrative Agent, the Borrower may require, at the Borrower’s expense, such Lender to assign, without recourse, all of its Revolving Commitment, Credit Exposure and accrued interest and fees to such other Lender or Eligible Assignee pursuant to the provisions of Section 11.8 below.

2.9. Funding Indemnification. In the event of (a) the payment of any principal of any Term SOFR Loan other than on the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto (including as a result of an Event of Default), (b) the conversion of any Term SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, (c) the failure to borrow, convert, continue or prepay any Loan on the date specified in any notice delivered pursuant hereto (regardless of whether such notice is permitted to be revocable under Section 1.8(2) and is revoked in accordance herewith), or (d) the assignment of any Term SOFR Loan other than on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.8(2), then, in any such event, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender for the loss, cost and expense attributable to such event, including any loss, cost or expense arising from the liquidation or redeployment of funds or from any fees payable. A certificate of any Lender setting forth any amount or amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.

2.10. Taxes.

(1) Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Borrower Party hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Taxes except as required by applicable law. If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Borrower Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Lender, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.

(2) In addition, each Borrower Party shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.

(3) The Borrower Parties shall jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender, as applicable, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lender, or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent or Lender, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(4) Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Borrower Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 11.8(5) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this paragraph (4).

(5) As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by any Borrower Party to a Governmental Authority, pursuant to this Section 2.10 such Borrower Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

(6) (i) Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Section 2.10(6)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,

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

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

(i) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (in each case, or successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (in each case, or successor form) establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” or other applicable article of such tax treaty;

(ii) executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI (or successor form);

(iii) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E (in each case, or successor form); or (iv) to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 or J-3, IRS Form W-9 (in each case, or successor form), and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;

(C) any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and

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

Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.

(7) If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 2.10 (including by the payment of any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 2.10), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by such Borrower Party under this Section 2.10 with respect to Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party incurred in order to obtain such refund and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (7) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (7), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (7) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

(8) Each party’s obligations under this Section 2.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

(9) For purposes of this Section 2.10, the term “Lender” shall include the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and any Issuing Lender and the term “applicable law” includes FATCA.

2.11. Fees.

(1) Unused Line Fee. Until Payment in Full, the Borrower agrees to pay, on the first day of each month and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable account of the Revolving Lenders, an unused line fee (the “Unused Line Fee”), for each day during the immediately preceding month or shorter period if calculated on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, equal to (A) 0.35% per annum multiplied by (B) the amount by which (i) the aggregate amount of the Revolving Lenders’ Revolving Commitments on such day exceeded (ii) the sum of (I) the outstanding amount of Revolving Loans on such day and (II) the undrawn available balance of all outstanding Letters of Credit on such day. The Unused Line Fee shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year for the actual number of days elapsed.

(2) Letter of Credit Fees and Costs (E) . (A) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for distribution to each Revolving Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender (based on their respective Applicable Revolving Percentage) in U.S. Dollars, a fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued for the account of any Macerich Entity (the “Letter of Credit Fee”), in each case for the period from and including the date of issuance of the respective Letter of Credit to and including the date of termination of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate per annum equal to the applicable “SOFR Spread” as listed in the definition of Applicable Term SOFR Rate on the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit. Accrued Letter of Credit Fees shall be due and payable on the first Business Day of each August, November, February and May, and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date or such earlier date upon which the Revolving Commitments are terminated.

(B) The Borrower agrees to pay the applicable Issuing Lender, for its own account, in U.S. Dollars, a facing fee in respect of each Letter of Credit issued for the account of any Macerich Entity by such Issuing Lender (the “Facing Fee”), for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit to and including the date of the termination of such Letter of Credit, computed at a rate equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum of the daily Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit; provided that in no event shall the annual Facing Fee with respect to any Letter of Credit be less than $500. Accrued Facing Fees shall be due and payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each August, November, February and May, and on the Revolving Commitment Termination Date or such earlier date upon which the Revolving Commitments are terminated.

(C) The Borrower shall pay, upon each payment under, issuance of, or amendment to, any Letter of Credit, such amount as shall at the time of such event be the administrative charge and the reasonable expenses which the applicable Issuing Lender is generally imposing for payment under, issuance of, or amendment to, Letters of Credit issued by it, not to exceed $500 per issuance or amendment.

(3) Administrative Agent Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees payable in the amounts and at the times separately agreed upon between the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in the Fee Letter.

(4) Payment of Fees. All fees payable hereunder shall be paid on the dates due, in immediately available funds, to the Administrative Agent (except the Facing Fee which shall be paid directly to the Issuing Lenders) for distribution, in the case of the Unused Line Fee and the Letter of Credit Fee, to the Lenders entitled thereto. Fees paid shall not be refundable under any circumstances.

2.12. Default Interest. During such time as there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, all Obligations (including any accrued and unpaid interest) outstanding, shall, at the election of the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, bear interest at a per annum rate equal to two percent (2%) above the applicable rate of interest in effect during the applicable calculation period.

2.13. Computation. All computations of interest and fees payable hereunder shall be based upon a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year).

2.14. Application of Insufficient Payments. If at any time insufficient funds are received by and available to the Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, unreimbursed LC Disbursements, interest, fees and prepayment premiums then due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, such funds shall be applied (i) first, to pay interest, fees and prepayment premiums then due under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest, fees and prepayment premiums then due to such parties, and (ii) second, to pay principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due hereunder, ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of principal and unreimbursed LC Disbursements then due to such parties.

ARTICLE 3. Incremental Facility.

3.1. Incremental Facility Request. Borrower may, by written notice to the Administrative Agent on one or more occasions prior to the Revolving Commitment Termination Date, elect to request an increase to the existing Revolving Commitments (any such increase, the “New Revolving Loan Commitments”) by an amount that would result in the Revolving Commitments not exceeding $950,000,000 (the “Maximum Increase Amount”) in the aggregate (each such amount in addition to the Revolving Commitments as of the Closing Date, a “Facility Increase”) and not less than $25,000,000 per request (or such lesser amount which shall be approved by Administrative Agent or such lesser amount that shall constitute the difference between the Maximum Increase Amount and the sum of all such New Revolving Loan Commitments obtained prior to such date), and integral multiples of $5,000,000 (or such other amount approved by the Administrative Agent) in excess of that amount. Each such notice shall specify (A) the date (each, an “Increased Amount Date”) on which the Borrower proposes that the New Revolving Loan Commitments shall be effective, which shall be a date not less than 10 Business Days, nor more than 60 Business Days after the date on which such notice is delivered to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter or longer period as the Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion) and (B) the identity of each Lender or other Person that is an Eligible Assignee (each Lender or other Eligible Assignee who agrees to provide all or a portion of the New Revolving Loan Commitments being referred to herein as a “New Revolving Loan Lender”) to whom the Borrower proposes any portion of such New Revolving Loan Commitments be allocated and the amounts of such allocations; provided that any Lender or other Eligible Assignee approached to provide all or a portion of the New Revolving Loan Commitments may elect or decline, in its sole discretion, to provide a New Revolving Loan Commitment and any Lender that fails to respond to Borrower’s request shall be deemed to have declined such request.

3.2. Facility Increase Arrangers. Except as provided in Section 3.1 above, the Administrative Agent, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as joint lead arrangers and joint book runners (in such capacities, the “Facility Increase Arrangers”), unless any of them separately waives such right, will manage all aspects of the syndication of the proposed New Revolving Loan Commitments in consultation with the Borrower, including identifying each New Revolving Loan Lender to whom any portion of any Facility Increase shall be allocated, the timing of all offers to Lenders (or their respective Affiliates or Approved Funds) and other Eligible Assignees and the acceptance of commitments, the amounts offered and the compensation provided; provided, that (i) the Facility Increase Arrangers will consult with the Borrower with respect to the syndication of the proposed Facility Increase, (ii) any allocation to any Eligible Assignee that is not a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of a Lender shall be subject to the consent of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender (in each case, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and (iii) in the event the Facility Increase Arrangers are unable to fully syndicate the proposed Facility Increase by the date which is 10 Business Days prior to the applicable Increased Amount Date, the Borrower may identify Persons who are Eligible Assignees to whom the Facility Increase Arrangers shall allocate any unsyndicated portion of the Facility Increase, subject to the consent rights set forth in subclause (ii) above. Subject to the immediately preceding sentence, the Facility Increase Arrangers and each Lender shall have the ongoing right to sell, assign, syndicate, participate, or transfer all or a portion of its Commitments or Loans or other Obligations owing to it to one or more investors as otherwise provided in Section 11.8. Without limitation on the Facility Increase Arrangers’ rights as set forth herein, in the event there are Lenders (or their respective Affiliates or Approved Funds) and Eligible Assignees that have committed to New Revolving Loan Commitments in excess of the maximum amount requested (or permitted), then the Facility Increase Arrangers shall have the right to allocate such commitments, first to Lenders (or their respective Affiliates or Approved Funds) and then to Eligible Assignees, on whatever basis the Facility Increase Arrangers determine is appropriate (except that no such allocation to any Eligible Assignee that is not a Lender or an Affiliate or Approved Fund of any Lender shall be in an amount less than $20,000,000 (or such lesser amount approved by the Administrative Agent) and the Facility Increase Arrangers will consult with the Borrower with respect to such allocations).

3.3. Conditions to Effectiveness of Facility Increase. Such New Revolving Loan Commitments shall become effective as of such Increased Amount Date, subject to the satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent, as determined by the Administrative Agent in its good faith judgment:

(i) no Potential Default or Event of Default shall exist on such Increased Amount Date before or after giving effect to such Facility Increase;

(vi) as requested by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower Parties shall have acknowledged and ratified that their obligations (including their guarantees and grants of security interests and Liens, as applicable) under the applicable Loan Documents remain in full force and effect after giving effect to the applicable Facility Increase and the implementation thereof;

(vii) the Borrower shall have paid (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent and (ii) all fees as may be agreed by the parties participating in such Facility Increase (including any arrangement or similar fees associated therewith), in each case, in connection with the applicable Facility Increase;

(viii) the representations and warranties made by the Borrower Parties in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects (except for changes in factual circumstances not prohibited under the Loan Documents and except further that, in the event any exception or disclosure schedule provided to Administrative Agent in connection with such representations and warranties is proposed by Borrower to be updated, any such updates (other than to reflect changes in factual circumstances not prohibited under the Loan Documents) shall be non-material and shall be approved by the Administrative Agent in its good faith judgment) on and as of the date when made and on and as of the Increased Amount Date (or, if any such representation or warranty is expressly stated to have been made as of a specific date, as of such specific date); provided however, that any representation or warranty that is qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect or similar language shall be true and correct in all respects subject to such qualifiers; and

(ix) after giving effect to any such Facility Increase, the total Revolving Credit Exposures shall not exceed the Borrowing Base Amount.

3.4. Additional Facility Increase Matters.

(1) On any Increased Amount Date on which New Revolving Loan Commitments are effected, subject to the satisfaction of the foregoing terms and conditions, (a) each of the Revolving Lenders shall assign to each of the New Revolving Loan Lenders, and each of the New Revolving Loan Lenders shall purchase from each of the Revolving Lenders, at the principal amount thereof (together with accrued interest), such interests in the Revolving Loans outstanding on such Increased Amount Date as shall be necessary in order that, after giving effect to all such assignments and purchases, such Revolving Loans will be held by existing Revolving Lenders and New Revolving Loan Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such New Revolving Loan Commitments to the Revolving Commitments, (b) each Revolving Lender shall automatically and without further act be deemed to have assigned to each of the New Revolving Loan Lenders, and each such New Revolving Loan Lender will automatically and without further act be deemed to have assumed, a portion of such Revolving Lender’s participations hereunder in outstanding Letters of Credit such that, after giving effect to each such deemed assignment and assumption of participations, the aggregate outstanding participations hereunder in Letters of Credit will be held by existing Revolving Lenders and New Revolving Loan Lenders ratably in accordance with their Revolving Commitments after giving effect to the addition of such New Revolving Loan Commitments to the Revolving Commitments, (c) each New Revolving Loan Commitment shall be deemed for all purposes a Revolving Commitment and each loan made thereunder (a “New Revolving Loan”) shall be deemed, for all purposes, a Revolving Loan and (d) each New Revolving Loan Lender shall become a Revolving Lender with respect to the New Revolving Loan Commitment and all matters relating thereto. The Administrative Agent and the Revolving Lenders hereby agree that the minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply to any of the transactions effected pursuant to this Article 3.

(2) The Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders promptly upon receipt of the Borrower’s notice of each Increased Amount Date and in respect thereof (y) the New Revolving Loan Commitments and the New Revolving Loan Lenders and (z) in the case of each notice to any Lender with a Revolving Commitment, the respective interests in such Lender’s Revolving Loans, in each case subject to the assignments contemplated by this Section.

(3) The terms and provisions of the New Revolving Loans shall be identical to the existing Revolving Loans.

(6) Any condition or event which causes any Borrowing Base Asset to (i) fail to satisfy any of the Borrowing Base Criteria (other than (a) those Borrowing Base Criteria, if any, that did not apply at the time the subject asset became a Borrowing Base Asset or have theretofore been waived by the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, to the extent of such waiver, and/or (b) the passage of time, which would cause a ground leased property to no longer qualify as a Qualifying Ground Lease) or (ii) otherwise cease to be a Borrowing Base Asset pursuant to Section 6.28(3), Section 7.16(8) or Section 9.9; or

(7) Any event not disclosed pursuant to subsections (1) through (6) above which could reasonably be expected to result in either (i) a Material Adverse Effect or (ii) in the case of any Borrowing Base Mortgaged Property Asset, any Borrowing Base Unencumbered Asset, any other Mortgaged Property or any Retail/Other Property directly or indirectly owned by any Person whose Capital Stock constitutes a Borrowing Base Equity Interest Asset or an Additional Equity Interest Asset, a Property-Level Material Adverse Effect.

7.6. Expenses. The Borrower shall pay all reasonable and documented out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable fees and disbursements of outside counsel): (1) of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent incident to the preparation, negotiation and administration of the Loan Documents, including any proposed Modifications or waivers with respect thereto, the syndication of the Commitments (but such expenses shall not include any fees paid to the syndicate members), and the preservation and protection of the rights of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents (including in respect of the Collateral), and (2) of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each of the Issuing Lenders and each of the Lenders incident to the enforcement of payment of the Secured Obligations and/or the exercise of remedies in respect of the Collateral, whether by judicial proceedings or otherwise, including, without limitation, in connection with bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, moratorium or other similar proceedings involving any Borrower Party or a “workout” of the Secured Obligations; provided that only one property inspection or site visit performed pursuant to Section 7.4 shall be paid for by the Borrower each year, unless a Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in which case there shall be no limit to property inspections or site visits performed pursuant to Section 7.4, and the Borrower shall pay the costs associated with each such inspection and visit performed during such periods; provided further that the Borrower shall only be responsible for fees and disbursements of one primary outside counsel (unless there is an actual or perceived conflict of interest, in which case another primary outside counsel shall be permitted for each group of similarly situated Persons) for the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Lender, and the Lenders, taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, one special or local counsel (unless there is an actual or perceived conflict of interest, in which case another special or local counsel shall be permitted for each group of similarly situated Persons) for the Administrative Agent, Collateral Agent, each Issuing Lender and the Lenders, taken as a whole, in each relevant material jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions). The obligations of the Borrower under this Section 7.6 shall survive payment of all other Secured Obligations.

7.8. Insurance. The Borrower Parties shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, maintain, to the extent commercially available, insurance with responsible and reputable insurance companies or associations in such amounts and covering such risks (including, without limitation, fire, extended coverage, vandalism, malicious mischief, flood, earthquake, public liability, product liability, business interruption and terrorism) as is usually carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in the same general areas in which the Borrower Parties or their respective Subsidiaries engage in business or own properties. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Administrative Agent, insurance policies shall provide for ten (10) days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of any cancelation for nonpayment of premiums. Subject to Section 7.17 with respect to insurance endorsements, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be named as lender’s loss payee on all insurance policies that the Borrower Parties maintain with respect to any Mortgaged Property and improvements on such Mortgaged Property and as additional insured on all liability insurance policies maintained by the Borrower Parties (except as otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent with respect to certain liability insurance policies); provided that, unless a Potential Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent receives any such proceeds as loss payee, it shall promptly deliver the same to Borrower for Borrower’s use in connection with the operations or restoration of the subject Property. At all times, Borrower is entitled to receive and collect directly from the insurer any business interruption and rental loss insurance proceeds.

Notwithstanding any provision in the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, solely in the case of the Mortgage by each of Macerich Stonewood, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Macerich Stonewood Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, with respect to the Real Property commonly referred to as “Stonewood Center (including Stonewood - Kohls)” (the “Stonewood Mortgage”), the holding, application and disbursement of any and all insurance policies and proceeds may, in lieu of compliance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 7.8, be effected in accordance with Section 3.7 of the Stonewood Mortgage.

7.9. Hazardous Materials. The Borrower Parties shall, and shall cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, do the following:

(1) Keep and maintain all Retail/Other Properties in material compliance with any Hazardous Materials Laws unless the failure to so comply would not be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(2) Diligently remediate in accordance with and as required by applicable Hazardous Material Laws any Hazardous Materials discharged, disposed of, or otherwise released in, on or under any Retail/Other Properties that are in violation of any Hazardous Materials Laws and which would be reasonably expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and cause any remediation required by any Hazardous Material Laws or Governmental Authority to be performed, though no such action shall be required if any action is subject to a good faith contest. In the course of carrying out such actions, the Borrower shall provide the Administrative Agent with such periodic information and notices regarding the status of investigation, removal, and remediation, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.

(3) Promptly advise the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender in writing of any of the following: (i) any Hazardous Material Claims known to the Borrower Parties which would be reasonably expected to result in a Property-Level Material Adverse Effect to any Real Property or a material adverse effect on the owner thereof; (ii) the receipt of any notice of any alleged violation of Hazardous Materials Laws with respect to any Real Property (and the Borrower shall promptly provide the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders with a copy of such notice of violation), provided that such alleged violation, if true (and if any release of the Hazardous Materials alleged therein were not promptly remediated), would result in a breach of subsections (1) or (2) above; and (iii) the discovery of any occurrence or condition on any Retail/Other Properties that could reasonably be expected to cause such Retail/Other Properties or any part thereof to be in violation of subsections (1) or, if not promptly remediated, (2) above. If the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender and/or any Lender shall be joined in any legal proceedings or actions initiated in connection with any Hazardous Materials Claims, each Borrower Party shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless such Person with respect to any liabilities and out-of-pocket expenses arising with respect thereto, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements.

(4) Comply with each of the covenants set forth in subsections (1), (2) and (3) of this Section 7.9 with respect to all other Properties of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries unless the failure to so comply would not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

7.10. Compliance with Laws and Contractual Obligations. The Borrower Parties: (1) shall, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, comply, in all respects, with all Requirements of Law of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it or its business, and (2) shall, except to the extent that the failure of the same either (x) would not have a Material Adverse Effect or (y) in the case of Contractual Obligations in respect of Indebtedness for borrowed money only, would not result in an Event of Default under either Section 9.5 or Section 9.9, comply, in all respects, with all Contractual Obligations. The Borrower Parties shall, except to the extent that the failure of the same either (x) would not have a Material Adverse Effect or (y) in the case of Contractual Obligations in respect of Indebtedness for borrowed money only (and only for purposes of clause (2) below), would not result in an Event of Default under either Section 9.5 or Section 9.9, cause each of their respective Subsidiaries (other than the Subsidiary Guarantors) to: (1) comply, in all respects, with all Requirements of Law of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over it or its business, and (2) comply, in all respects, with all Contractual Obligations.

7.11. REIT Status. MAC shall maintain its status as a REIT and (i) all of the representations and warranties set forth in subsections (1), (2) and (4) of Section 6.18 shall remain true and correct at all times and (ii) all of the representations and warranties set forth in subsection (3) of Section 6.18 shall remain true and correct in all material respects. MAC will do or cause to be done all things necessary to maintain the listing of its Capital Stock on the New York Stock Exchange, NYSE American or Nasdaq Stock Market (or any successor thereof), and the Borrower will do or cause to be done all things necessary to cause it to be treated as a partnership for purposes of federal income taxation and the tax laws of any state or locality in which the Borrower is subject to taxation based on its income.

7.12. Use of Proceeds. The Letters of Credit and the proceeds of the Loans will be used for the Closing Date Payments and for other general corporate purposes, including the financing of working capital needs.

7.13. Management of Projects; Management Agreements. Except as set forth on Schedule 7.13, all Wholly-Owned Projects shall be managed by Subsidiaries of MAC pursuant to agreements that are either (x) substantially similar to the Master Management Agreements or (y) on terms no less favorable in totality to the Borrower Parties than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a third party manager that is not a Macerich Entity. The Borrower Parties shall at all times ensure that each Affiliate of any Borrower Party that manages and/or operates a Borrowing Base Mortgaged Property Asset has executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Subordination of Property Management Agreement. From time to time, the Borrower may replace the subject property manager with another manager that is a Macerich Entity, and/or amend and replace the subject management agreement (so long as the same is no less favorable in totality to the Borrower Parties than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s-length transaction with a third party manager that is not a Macerich Entity), provided the applicable Borrower Party and the applicable manager amend the existing Assignment and Subordination of Property Management Agreement to reflect such new property manager and the applicable property management agreement or enter into a new Assignment and Subordination of Property Management Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the management fees (not including expense recoveries, leasing commissions and/or construction supervisory fees) payable to any Macerich Entity under any property management agreement for Wholly-Owned Projects exceed 2% of gross revenues (less customary exclusions) from the applicable Property.

7.14. Borrowing Base Additions. Borrower may, from time to time, propose to add Real Property or Capital Stock as a Borrowing Base Asset, provided such Real Property or Capital Stock satisfies the Borrowing Base Criteria at the time such Real Property or Capital Stock would become a Borrowing Base Asset (a “Proposed Borrowing Base Asset”). Borrower’s proposal to the Administrative Agent shall be in writing and include a Borrowing Base Asset Proposal Package with respect to such Proposed Borrowing Base Asset. Within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a complete Borrowing Base Asset Proposal Package, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower of its determination of whether such Proposed Borrowing Base Asset will, subject to the delivery of all applicable Borrowing Base Deliverables pursuant to the following sentence, satisfy the applicable Borrowing Base Criteria (any such notice comprising an approval, a “Conditional Approval Notice”); provided that (i) if the Administrative Agent does not respond to the Borrower within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of a written proposal with a complete Borrowing Base Asset Proposal Package, the Borrower may deliver a second written notice to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Proposed Borrowing Base Asset, and the Administrative Agent shall, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such second written notice, give notice to the Borrower of its determination of whether such Proposed Borrowing Base Asset will, subject to the delivery of all applicable Borrowing Base Deliverables pursuant to the following sentence, satisfy the applicable Borrowing Base Criteria, (ii) if the Administrative Agent does not respond to the Borrower within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such second written notice with respect to such Proposed Borrowing Base Asset, the Borrower may deliver a third written notice to the Administrative Agent with respect to such Proposed Borrowing Base Asset, and the Administrative Agent shall, within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such third written notice, give notice to the Borrower of its determination of whether such Proposed Borrowing Base Asset will, subject to the delivery of all applicable Borrowing Base Deliverables pursuant to the following sentence, satisfy the applicable Borrowing Base Criteria and (iii) if the Administrative Agent does not respond to the Borrower within five (5) Business Days after receipt of such third written notice, a Conditional Approval Notice shall be deemed to have been issued by the Administrative Agent with respect to such Proposed Borrowing Base Asset on the sixth (6th) Business Day after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such third written notice. Within forty five (45) days after receipt by the Borrower of a Conditional Approval Notice (which period may be extended in the discretion of the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall, at its sole cost and expense, as a condition to such Proposed Borrowing Base Asset becoming a Borrowing Base Asset, deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent (i) all applicable Borrowing Base Deliverables and (ii) if such Proposed Borrowing Base Asset is a proposed Borrowing Base Mortgaged Property Asset that is managed or operated by an Affiliate of any Borrower Party, an Assignment and Subordination of Property Management Agreement executed by each Borrower Party that owns such Proposed Borrowing Base Asset and each Affiliate of a Borrower Party that manages and/or operates the applicable Proposed Borrowing Base Asset. The Borrower’s failure to deliver the same within said forty-five (45) day period shall not constitute a Potential Default or Event of Default by the Borrower; rather, until the same are delivered, such Proposed Borrowing Base Asset shall not constitute a Borrowing Base Asset. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any Proposed Borrowing Base Asset to comply with one or more of the Borrowing Base Criteria shall not preclude the addition of such Proposed Borrowing Base Asset as a Borrowing Base Asset so long as the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders shall have expressly consented in writing to the addition of such Proposed Borrowing Base Asset as a Borrowing Base Asset notwithstanding the failure to satisfy such conditions.

7.15. Borrowing Base Leases. All Borrowing Base Leases (and all renewals thereof) executed after the Closing Date shall provide for rental rates obtained through arm’s-length negotiations, shall be on commercially reasonable terms, and shall not contain any terms which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

7.16. Specified Ground Leases. With respect to any Specified Ground Lease of any applicable Borrower Party:

(1) Performance; Modifications. Each applicable Borrower Party shall:

(A) Pay all rents, additional rents and other sums required to be paid by the applicable Borrower Party, as tenant under and pursuant to the provisions of the Specified Ground Lease as and when such rent or other sums are due and payable;

(B) Promptly and faithfully observe, perform and comply with all the material terms, covenants and provisions of the Specified Ground Leases on the part of an applicable Borrower Party to be observed, performed and complied with, at the times set forth therein and to do all things necessary to preserve unimpaired its rights thereunder, except where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to result in a Property-Level Material Adverse Effect;

(C) Not do, permit, suffer or refrain from doing anything, the result of which could be a material default under any of the terms thereof beyond the giving of any required notice and the expiration of any applicable cure period or a breach of any of the terms thereof (it being agreed that any default that would permit any party thereto other than the applicable Borrower Party to terminate the applicable Specified Ground Lease shall be deemed to be material);

(D) Unless the Administrative Agent has consented thereto in writing, not voluntarily cancel, surrender, or modify any of the material terms thereof, release any party thereto (other than the applicable Borrower Party) from any material obligation imposed upon it thereby or surrender, terminate or cancel such Specified Ground Lease; and

(E) Give Administrative Agent prompt written notice of any material default by anyone thereunder of which the applicable Borrower Party becomes aware and promptly deliver to Administrative Agent copies of each notice of material default.

(2) Termination or Cancellation; Administrative Agent’s Right to Cure. The applicable Borrower Party hereby assigns to the Collateral Agent, as further security for the payment and performance of the Secured Obligations, its right as tenant under the Specified Ground Lease, to surrender the leasehold estate created by the Specified Ground Lease or to terminate, cancel, or modify the Specified Ground Lease in a manner in violation of Section 7.16(1)(D), and any such action without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent shall be void and of no force and effect. If the applicable Borrower Party shall default in the performance or observance of any material term, covenant or condition of such Specified Ground Lease on the part of the applicable Borrower Party, as tenant thereunder, to be performed or observed where the failure to do so, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a Property-Level Material Adverse Effect, then, without limiting the generality of the other provisions of the Mortgage and this Agreement and without waiving or releasing the applicable Borrower Party from any of its obligations hereunder, Administrative Agent shall have the right, but shall be under no obligation, to pay any sums and to perform any act or take any action as may be appropriate to cause all of the material terms, covenants and conditions of the Specified Ground Lease on the part of the applicable Borrower Party, as tenant thereunder, to be performed or observed or to be promptly performed or observed on behalf of the applicable Borrower Party, to the end that the rights of the applicable Borrower Party in, to and under such Specified Ground Lease shall be kept unimpaired as a result thereof and free from default, even though the existence of such event of default or the nature thereof may be questioned or denied by the applicable Borrower Party or by any party on behalf of the applicable Borrower Party.

(3) Payments by Administrative Agent. If the Administrative Agent shall make any payment or perform any act or take action in accordance with the preceding section, the Administrative Agent will promptly notify the applicable Borrower Party of the making of any such payment, the performance of any such act, or the taking of any such action. In any such event, subject to the rights of tenants, subtenants and other occupants under the leases or of parties to any reciprocal easement agreements, the Administrative Agent and any Person designated as the Administrative Agent’s agent by the Administrative Agent shall have, and are hereby granted, the right to peaceably enter upon the Mortgaged Property at any reasonable time, on reasonable notice for the purpose of taking any such action. The Administrative Agent may pay and expend such sums of money as the Administrative Agent deems necessary for any such purpose and upon so doing shall be subrogated to any and all rights of the landlord under the Specified Ground Lease. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after demand, all such sums so paid and expended by the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon from the day of such payment at an interest rate that is 2% per annum in excess of the interest rate that is otherwise payable hereunder for Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans. All sums so paid and expended by the Administrative Agent and the interest thereon shall be secured by the legal operation and effect of the Mortgage and the other Security Documents. If the ground lessor under the Specified Ground Lease shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a copy of any notice of default sent by said ground lessor to the applicable Borrower Party, as tenant under the Specified Ground Lease, such notice shall constitute full protection to the Administrative Agent for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Administrative Agent in reliance thereon.

(4) Exercise of Extensions. The applicable Borrower Party shall exercise each individual option, if any, to extend or renew the term of the Specified Ground Lease upon demand by the Administrative Agent made at any time within one (1) year of the last day upon which any such option may be exercised, and if the applicable Borrower Party shall fail to do so, the applicable Borrower Party hereby expressly authorizes and appoints the Administrative Agent its attorney-in-fact to exercise any such option in the name of and upon behalf of the applicable Borrower Party, which power of attorney shall be irrevocable and shall be deemed to be coupled with an interest. The applicable Borrower Party shall not subordinate or consent to the subordination of the Specified Ground Lease to any mortgage, security deed, lease or other interest on or in the landlord’s interest in all or any part of the Property, unless, in each such case, the written consent of the Administrative Agent shall have been first had and obtained, which approval shall not unreasonably be withheld.

(5) No Merger of Fee and Leasehold Estates; Releases. Prior to Payment in Full, unless the Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent, the fee title to that portion of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Specified Ground Lease and the leasehold estate therein created pursuant to the provisions of the Specified Ground Lease shall not merge but shall always be kept separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of such estates in the applicable Borrower Party, the Administrative Agent, or in any other person by purchase, operation of law or otherwise. The Collateral Agent reserves the right, at any time, to release portions of the Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to, the leasehold estate created by the Specified Ground Lease, with or without consideration, at the Collateral Agent’s election, without waiving or affecting any of its or the Administrative Agent’s rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and any such release shall not affect the Collateral Agent’s rights in connection with the portion of the Mortgaged Property not so released.

(6) Acquisition of Fee Estate. In the event that the applicable Borrower Party, prior to Payment in Full, shall become the owner and holder of the fee title to that portion of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Specified Ground Lease, the Lien of the Mortgage shall be spread to cover the applicable Borrower Party’s fee title to such portion of the Mortgaged Property and said fee title shall be deemed to be included in the Mortgaged Property and no consent of the Administrative Agent is required for the applicable Borrower Party to acquire fee title to that portion of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Specified Ground Lease. The applicable Borrower Party agrees, at its sole cost and expense, including without limitation the Administrative Agent’s and Collateral Agent’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, to execute any and all documents or instruments necessary to subject its fee title to such portion of the Mortgaged Property to the lien of the Mortgage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Specified Ground Lease is for any reason whatsoever terminated prior to the natural expiration of its term, and if, pursuant to any provisions of the Specified Ground Lease or otherwise, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or their respective designees shall acquire from the landlord thereunder another lease of the Mortgaged Property, the applicable Borrower Party shall have no right, title or interest in or to such other lease or the leasehold estate created thereby so long as any Obligations remain outstanding.

(7) Rejection of the Specified Ground Lease.

(A) In the event of the rejection or disaffirmance of the Specified Ground Lease by the landlord thereunder pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or any other law affecting creditor’s rights, (i) the applicable Borrower Party, promptly after obtaining notice thereof, shall give notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, (ii) the applicable Borrower Party, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, shall not elect to treat the Specified Ground Lease as terminated pursuant to Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable federal or state statute or law, and any election by the applicable Borrower Party made without such consent shall be void and (iii) the Mortgage and all the Liens, terms, covenants and conditions of the Mortgage shall extend to and cover the applicable Borrower Party’s possessory rights under Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code and to any claim for damages due to the rejection of the Specified Ground Lease or other termination of the Specified Ground Lease. In addition, the applicable Borrower Party hereby assigns irrevocably to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower Party’s rights to treat the Specified Ground Lease as terminated pursuant to Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code and to offset rents under the Specified Ground Lease in the event any case, proceeding or other action is commenced by or against the landlord under the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable federal or state statute or law, provided that the Administrative Agent shall not exercise such rights and shall permit the applicable Borrower Party to exercise such rights with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

(B) The applicable Borrower Party hereby assigns to the Administrative Agent the applicable Borrower Party’s right to seek an extension of the sixty (60) day period within which the applicable Borrower Party must accept or reject the Specified Ground Lease under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable federal or state statute or law with respect to any case, proceeding or other action commenced by or against the applicable Borrower Party under the Bankruptcy Code or comparable federal or state statute or law, provided the Administrative Agent shall not exercise such right, and shall permit the applicable Borrower Party to exercise such right with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Further, if the applicable Borrower Party shall desire to so reject the Specified Ground Lease, at the Administrative Agent’s request, to the extent not prohibited by the terms of the Specified Ground Lease and applicable law, the applicable Borrower Party shall assign its interest in the Specified Ground Lease to the Administrative Agent or its designee in lieu of rejecting such Specified Ground Lease as described above, upon receipt by the applicable Borrower Party of written notice from the Administrative Agent of such request.

(C) The applicable Borrower Party hereby agrees that if the Specified Ground Lease is terminated for any reason in the event of the rejection or disaffirmance of the Specified Ground Lease pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or any other law affecting creditor’s rights, any property of the applicable Borrower Party not removed from the Mortgaged Property by the applicable Borrower Party as permitted or required by the Specified Ground Lease, shall at the option of the Administrative Agent be deemed abandoned by the applicable Borrower Party, provided that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or their respective designees may remove any such property required to be removed by the applicable Borrower Party pursuant to the Specified Ground Lease and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with such removal shall be paid by the applicable Borrower Party within five (5) Business Days of receipt by the applicable Borrower Party of an invoice for such removal costs and expenses.

(8) Failure to Comply with Section 7.16. A Borrower Party’s failure to comply with this Section 7.16 with respect to any Borrowing Base Mortgaged Property Asset shall not constitute a Potential Default or Event of Default. Rather, such Borrowing Base Mortgaged Property Asset shall (i) no longer qualify as a Borrowing Base Mortgaged Property Asset and shall automatically cease to be a Borrowing Base Mortgaged Property Asset (and cease to be included in the Borrowing Base Amount as a Borrowing Base Mortgaged Property Asset) on the date on which an Event of Default would have resulted under this Agreement in the absence of this Section 7.16(8) and (ii) thereafter continue to constitute Collateral (together with the related pledges of Capital Stock of the applicable Property Owner) until released in accordance with and subject to the requirements of Section 10.12. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Property may later be added as a Borrowing Base Asset in accordance with Section 7.14 if such Property (i) satisfies all applicable Borrowing Base Criteria and (ii) in the case of a Borrowing Base Mortgaged Property Asset, satisfies the requirements set forth above in this Section 7.16, in the case of each of the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii), on the date such Property becomes a Borrowing Base Mortgaged Property Asset again.

7.17. Post-Closing Matters. The Borrower Parties shall satisfy the requirements set forth on Schedule 7.17 on or before the date specified for such requirement or such later date as agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion.

7.18. Additional Guarantors, Collateral, Etc.

(1) In the event that any Proposed Borrowing Base Asset is added as a Borrowing Base Asset in accordance with Section 7.14, the Borrower Parties shall, in each case substantially concurrently with or prior to such addition, (i) (A) in the case of a Borrowing Base Mortgaged Property Asset, cause each of (I) the Property Owner and (II) the Property Owner Parent, in each case, if not MAC, the Borrower, or already a Subsidiary Guarantor, to become a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guaranty and a party to this Agreement and to the Environmental Indemnity Agreement by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a joinder agreement in the form attached to the Subsidiary Guaranty, (B) in the case of a Borrowing Base Equity Interest Asset, cause the Borrowing Base Equity Interest Asset Owner of such Proposed Borrowing Base Asset, if not the Borrower, MAC, or already a Subsidiary Guarantor, to become a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guaranty and a party to this Agreement and to the Environmental Indemnity Agreement by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a joinder agreement in the form attached to the Subsidiary Guaranty, and (C) in the case of a Borrowing Base Unencumbered Asset for which Capital Stock is required to be pledged pursuant to clause (3)(F)(y) of the definition of “Borrowing Base Criteria”, cause the owner of such Capital Stock (an “Unencumbered Property Owner Parent”), if not the Borrower, MAC, or already a Subsidiary Guarantor, to become a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guaranty and a party to this Agreement and to the Environmental Indemnity Agreement by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a joinder agreement in the form attached to the Subsidiary Guaranty, (ii) cause each Property Owner Parent, Borrowing Base Equity Interest Asset Owner and Unencumbered Property Owner Parent, as applicable, if not already a party to the Pledge Agreement, to become a party to the Pledge Agreement by executing and delivering a joinder thereto to the Collateral Agent or, if such Person is already a party to the Pledge Agreement, to deliver a supplement to the schedules to the Pledge Agreement to the Collateral Agent, and, in each case, to deliver or cause to be delivered any and all certificates representing (x) Capital Stock (to the extent certificated) of the applicable Property Owner, (y) the Borrowing Base Equity Interest Asset (to the extent certificated) or (z) Capital Stock (to the extent certificated) required to be pledged pursuant to clause (3)(F)(y) of the definition of “Borrowing Base Criteria”, as applicable, accompanied by undated stock powers or other appropriate instruments of transfer executed in blank and appropriate UCC financing statements or amendments, as applicable, (iii) in the case of a Borrowing Base Mortgaged Property Asset, execute (as applicable) and deliver the Mortgaged Property Deliverables and (iv) take all such further actions and execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such other documents, instruments, agreements, certificates and opinions reasonably requested by Administrative Agent.

(2) With respect to (x) any Additional Real Property Asset described in clause (a) of the definition thereof or any Additional Equity Interest Asset described in clause (a) of the definition thereof, the Borrower Parties shall, solely to the extent the Debt Yield is less than 10.5% as of the last day of the most recently ended Fiscal Quarter for which financial statements were required to have been delivered pursuant to Section 7.1 (the “Trigger Financial Statements”), within 60 days (or such longer period of time as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion) of the later of (A) the date the Trigger Financial Statements were required to have been delivered pursuant to Section 7.1, (B) the date on which the applicable underlying Real Property which is an Unencumbered Property was acquired by the Macerich Entities and (C) the date on which the applicable underlying Real Property became an Unencumbered Property, and (y) any Additional Real Property Asset described in clause (b) of the definition thereof and any Additional Equity Interest Asset described in clause (b) of the definition thereof, the Borrower Parties shall, within the time period set forth in the applicable clause of the definition of “Permitted Investment”, (i) (A) in the case of an Additional Real Property Asset, cause each of (I) the Property Owner and (II) the Property Owner Parent, in each case, if not MAC, the Borrower, or already a Subsidiary Guarantor, to become a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guaranty and a party to this Agreement and to the Environmental Indemnity Agreement by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a joinder agreement in the form attached to the Subsidiary Guaranty and (B) in the case of an Additional Equity Interest Asset, cause the Additional Equity Interest Asset Owner of such Additional Equity Interest Asset, if not the Borrower, MAC, or already a Subsidiary Guarantor, to become a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guaranty and a party to this Agreement and to the Environmental Indemnity Agreement by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent a joinder agreement in the form attached to the Subsidiary Guaranty, (ii) cause each Property Owner Parent and Additional Equity Interest Asset Owner, as applicable, if not already a party to the Pledge Agreement, to become a party to the Pledge Agreement by executing and delivering a joinder thereto to the Collateral Agent or, if such Person is already a party to the Pledge Agreement, to deliver a supplement to the schedules to the Pledge Agreement to the Collateral Agent, and, in each case, to deliver or cause to be delivered any and all certificates representing (x) Capital Stock (to the extent certificated) of the applicable Property Owner or (y) the Additional Equity Interest Asset (to the extent certificated), as applicable, accompanied by undated stock powers or other appropriate instruments of transfer executed in blank and appropriate UCC financing statements or amendments, as applicable, (iii) in the case of an Additional Real Property Asset, execute (as applicable) and deliver the Mortgaged Property Deliverables and (iv) take all such further actions and execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such other documents, instruments, agreements, certificates and opinions reasonably requested by Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section 7.18(2) shall not apply to the extent the actions required to be taken hereunder are instead taken, and permitted to be taken, pursuant to Section 7.18(1) above. If and to the extent any of the foregoing is prohibited by any joint venture agreement or ground lease relating to the subject asset, then the Borrower Parties shall not be obligated to perform the prohibited act and such non-performance shall not constitute a Potential Default or Event of Default hereunder.

7.19. Further Assurances. The Borrower Parties shall from time to time execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, such additional instruments, certificates or documents, and take such actions, as the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent may reasonably request for the purposes of implementing or effectuating the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or of more fully perfecting or renewing the rights of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders with respect to the Collateral (or with respect to any additions thereto or replacements or proceeds thereof or with respect to any other property or assets hereafter acquired by the Borrower Parties or any of their respective Subsidiary Entities which may be deemed to be part of the Collateral) pursuant hereto or thereto. Upon the exercise by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender of any power, right, privilege or remedy pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents which requires any consent, approval, recording, qualification or authorization of any Governmental Authority, the Borrower Parties will execute and deliver, or will cause the execution and delivery of, all applications, certifications, instruments and other documents and papers that the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender may be required to obtain from any Borrower Party or Subsidiary Entity thereof to obtain such governmental consent, approval, recording, qualification or authorization.

7.20. Account Control Agreements; Cash Management.

(1) The Borrower shall execute and deliver (and cause the applicable depositary bank or securities intermediary, as the case may be, to execute and deliver) to the Collateral Agent Account Control Agreements with respect to all deposit accounts and securities accounts held in the name of the Borrower (other than any (i) such accounts that are used solely to fund payroll and payroll taxes and other employee wage and benefit payments in the ordinary course of business on a current basis, (ii) escrow accounts (to the extent maintained exclusively by the Borrower for the purpose of establishing or maintaining escrow amounts for third parties that are not Affiliates of any Borrower Parties or any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of a Borrower Party), (iii) trust accounts (to the extent maintained exclusively by the Borrower for the purpose of establishing or maintaining trust amounts for third parties that are not Affiliates of any Borrower Parties or any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of a Borrower Party) and (iv) dedicated cash collateral accounts to the extent subject to a Lien permitted by Section 8.1(1)) (each, a “Controlled Account”) (x) in the case of Controlled Accounts existing on the Closing Date, either (A) on or prior to the Closing Date or (B) within the time period set forth in Schedule 7.17 and (y) in the case of Controlled Accounts arising after the Closing Date, within thirty (30) days of such account becoming a Controlled Account (or such later date as may be agreed to by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), and shall thereafter maintain in effect such Account Control Agreements. Each Controlled Account shall be a cash collateral account, with all cash, Cash Equivalents, securities entitlements, checks and other similar items in such account securing payment of the Secured Obligations, and in which the Borrower shall have granted a first priority Lien to the Collateral Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, pursuant to the Pledge Agreement.

(2) MAC, the Borrower and their Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries shall maintain their cash management systems and practices in a manner (including the zero balance account nature of deposit accounts of Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries of MAC and the Borrower that sweep the balance on deposit in such accounts (less a reserve for reasonably anticipated operating expenses consistent with past practice and in the ordinary course of business) on a daily basis to one or more Controlled Accounts) that is consistent in all material respects with their respective cash management systems and practices as in effect on the Closing Date (which, for the avoidance of doubt, is consistent with past practice of MAC, the Borrower and their Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries) unless otherwise consented to by the Administrative Agent (in its sole discretion) in writing.

As an inducement to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender to enter into this Agreement, each Borrower Party, jointly and severally, hereby covenants and agrees with the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Issuing Lender and each Lender that, from the Closing Date until Payment in Full:

8.3. Fundamental Change.

(1) Neither MAC nor the Borrower shall do any or all of the following: merge, liquidate, wind-up or consolidate with any Person, or sell, assign, lease or otherwise effect a Disposition, whether in one transaction or in a series of transactions, of all or substantially all of its Properties and assets, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, unless, MAC or the Borrower, as applicable, is the surviving Person in any such merger or consolidation.

(2) None of the Borrower Parties shall, nor shall they permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, engage to any material extent in any business other than such Person’s business as conducted on the date hereof and businesses which are substantially similar, related or incidental thereto or other additional businesses that would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

8.4. Dispositions. The Borrower Parties shall not permit any of the following to occur:

(1) Any Disposition by MAC of any of the Capital Stock of the Borrower; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit Borrower from issuing partnership units as consideration for the acquisition of a Project otherwise permitted under this Agreement, profit participation units in connection with an employee ownership or similar plan and other Capital Stock to the extent not prohibited by this Agreement;

(2) Any Disposition by any Borrower Party or any of its Subsidiaries of any of their respective Properties (or any portion thereof) if such Disposition would cause the Borrower Parties to be in violation of any of (a) the covenants set forth in Section 8.11 or (b) the limitations on Investments set forth in Section 8.5; and

(3) Any Disposition of Collateral (or any portion thereof) unless the following conditions are satisfied:

(A) immediately prior to and after giving effect to such Disposition, no Specified Default or Event of Default shall exist (or, if a Specified Default or Event of Default is then continuing, the underlying events or circumstances that resulted in the occurrence of such Specified Default or Event of Default are effectively cured after giving effect thereto (for example, if an Event of Default shall have occurred as a result of the Borrower’s failure to make a payment that is required hereunder, and the consummation of the applicable Disposition results in net cash proceeds that are used to make such required payment) and at such time no other Specified Default or Event of Default is then continuing);

(B) the Borrowing Base Amount (calculated on a pro forma basis after giving effect to such Disposition and to any repayment of any Revolving Loans or LC Disbursements, and Cash Collateralization of any outstanding Letters of Credit, at the time thereof) is greater than or equal to the total Revolving Credit Exposures;

(C) such Disposition shall constitute a bona fide sale to either (i) a Joint Venture or non-Wholly-Owned Subsidiary in connection with the capitalization thereof or (ii) a Person that is not an Affiliate of any Macerich Entity; and

Upon the consummation of any Disposition of Collateral pursuant to this Section 8.4(3) that was a Borrowing Base Asset immediately prior to the consummation thereof, such Borrowing Base Asset shall cease to constitute a Borrowing Base Asset hereunder and such Collateral shall be released from the Liens under the Loan Documents in accordance with Section 10.12. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the applicable Property may later be added as a Borrowing Base Asset in accordance with Section 7.14 and the other provisions hereof.

8.5. Investments. The Borrower Parties shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly make any Investment, except Permitted Investments.

8.9. Fiscal Year. Without the prior written consent of Administrative Agent, none of the Borrower Parties or Consolidated Entities (other than a De Minimis Subsidiary) shall change its Fiscal Year for accounting or tax purposes from a period consisting of the 12-month period ending on December 31 of each calendar year.

ARTICLE 9. Events of Default. Upon the occurrence of any of the following events (an “Event of Default”):

9.5. Any of the Borrower Parties, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, shall default in any payment of principal of or interest on any recourse Indebtedness (other than (x) the Obligations or (y) solely in the case of a Subsidiary that is not a Borrower Party, any Specified Indebtedness) in an aggregate unpaid amount for all such Persons in excess of $150,000,000, and, prior to the election of the Lenders to accelerate the Obligations hereunder, such recourse Indebtedness is not paid or the payment thereof waived or cured in accordance with the terms of the documents, instruments and agreements evidencing the same; provided that any Borrowing Base Asset that ceases to satisfy the Borrowing Base Criteria applicable to such Borrowing Base Asset as a result of any Specified Debt Default shall (i) no longer qualify as a Borrowing Base Asset and shall automatically cease to be a Borrowing Base Asset (and cease to be included in the Borrowing Base Amount) on the date of such Specified Debt Default (and the Borrower shall make any mandatory repayment required under Section 1.9(2)(A), if any, as a result of any such reduction of the Borrowing Base Amount as and when required under Section 1.9(2)(A)) and (ii) other than in the case of a Borrowing Base Unencumbered Asset (except as provided in the following parenthetical), continue to constitute Collateral (together with any related pledges of Capital Stock, including pursuant to clause (3)(F)(y) of the definition of “Borrowing Base Criteria”) until released in accordance with and subject to the requirements of Section 10.12; or

The Administrative Agent and all other Agents shall not be under any obligation to any Lender or any Issuing Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, the Loan Documents or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower Parties.

10.4. Reliance by the Agents. Each of the Agents shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certification, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Borrower), independent accountants and other experts selected by such Agent. As to the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders: (1) the Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under the Loan Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of one hundred percent (100%) of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders (or, if a provision of this Agreement expressly provides that a lesser number of the Lenders may direct the action of the Administrative Agent, such lesser number of Lenders) or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders ratably in accordance with their respective Applicable Percentages against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any action (except for liabilities and expenses resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction)); (2) the Administrative Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under the Loan Documents in accordance with a request of one hundred percent (100%) of the Lenders (or, if a provision of this Agreement expressly provides that the Administrative Agent shall be required to act or refrain from acting at the request of a lesser number of the Lenders, such lesser number of Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders; (3) the Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under the Loan Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Lenders (or, if a provision of any Loan Document expressly provides that a greater percentage of Lenders are required to direct the action of the Collateral Agent, such greater number of Lenders) or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any action (except for liabilities and expenses resulting from the Collateral Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction)), and (4) the Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under the Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or, if a provision of any Loan Document expressly provides that a greater percentage of Lenders are required to direct the action of the Collateral Agent, such greater number of Lenders), and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all Lenders.

10.5. Notice of Default. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of Default hereunder unless the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to the Loan Documents, describing such Potential Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the event that the Administrative Agent receives such a notice and a Potential Default has occurred, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the Collateral Agent and the Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Potential Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided that, unless and until the Administrative Agent shall have received such directions, the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Potential Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders (except to the extent that this Agreement or the other Loan Documents expressly require that such action be taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent with the consent or upon the authorization of the Required Lenders or such other group of Lenders, in which case such action will be taken or not taken as directed by the Required Lenders or such other group of Lenders). The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Potential Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders; provided that, unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received such directions, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Potential Default or Event of Default as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Lenders (except to the extent that this Agreement or the other Loan Documents expressly require that such action be taken or not taken by the Collateral Agent with the consent or upon the authorization of the Required Lenders, in which case such action will be taken or not taken as directed by the Required Lenders).

10.6. Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders expressly acknowledges that none of the Administrative Agent, the other Agents nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by the Administrative Agent or the other Agents hereinafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower Parties, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent or the other Agents to any Lender or any Issuing Lender. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders represents to the Administrative Agent and the other Agents that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the other Agents or any other Lender or any other Issuing Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties and made its own decision to make its loans hereunder and enter into this Agreement. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the other Agents or any other Lender or any other Issuing Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, operations, property, financial and other condition and creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties. Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, the Administrative Agent, the other Agents shall not have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or any Issuing Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower or other Borrower Parties which may come into the possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates.

10.7. Indemnification; Reimbursement.

(1) The Lenders and the Issuing Lenders agree to indemnify the Administrative Agent and the other Agents in their respective capacity as such (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), ratably according to their respective Applicable Percentages, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including without limitation at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent or the other Agents in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or the other Agents under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender nor any Issuing Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or any other Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a final and non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction), respectively. The provisions of this Section 10.7 shall survive Payment in Full, the Revolving Commitment Termination Date and the termination of this Agreement.

(2) If the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent incurs any reasonable costs or expenses (including, without limitation, those for legal services) after the date of this Agreement and with respect to any actual or proposed Modification or waiver of any term of the Loan Documents or restructuring or refinancing thereof or with any effort to enforce or protect Lenders’ or Issuing Lenders’ rights or interests with respect thereto (including any protective advances made in accordance with any Loan Document), or otherwise with respect to the performance of its role as Administrative Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, under this Agreement, each in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then, if such costs are not reimbursed by or on behalf of Borrower, Lenders shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, for their respective Applicable Percentages of such costs promptly after request therefor. If the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, recovers any amounts for which it has previously been reimbursed by Lenders hereunder, the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable, shall promptly distribute to Lenders their respective Applicable Percentages thereof.

10.8. Agents in Their Individual Capacity. The Administrative Agent, the other Agents and their affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with any of the Borrower Parties or any of their respective Subsidiary Entities and Affiliates as though the Administrative Agent and the other Agents were not, respectively, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, a Co-Syndication Agent or another Agent hereunder. With respect to such loans made or renewed by them and any Note issued to them, the Administrative Agent and the other Agents shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, a Co-Syndication Agent or another Agent, respectively, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” shall include the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, each Co-Syndication Agent and each other Agent in its individual capacity.

10.9. Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders. If the Administrative Agent shall resign, then the Required Lenders shall (with, so long as there shall not exist and be continuing an Event of Default, the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) appoint from among the Lenders a successor agent or, if the Required Lenders are unable to agree on the appointment of a successor agent, the Administrative Agent shall appoint a successor agent for the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Administrative Agent, and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Administrative Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Administrative Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or successors thereto. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of the Loan Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.

10.10. Successor Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may resign as Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents upon thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders. If the Collateral Agent shall resign, then the Required Lenders shall (with, so long as there shall not exist and be continuing an Event of Default, the consent of the Borrower, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) appoint a successor agent or, if such Required Lenders are unable to agree on the appointment of a successor agent, the Collateral Agent shall appoint a successor agent for the Lenders whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Collateral Agent, and the term “Collateral Agent” shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Collateral Agent’s rights, powers and duties as Collateral Agent shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Collateral Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents or successors thereto. After any retiring Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder as Collateral Agent, the provisions of the Loan Documents shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent under the Loan Documents.

10.11. Limitations on Agents’ Liability. None of the Co-Syndication Agents, the Co-Documentation Agents, or the Joint Lead Arrangers, in such capacities, shall have any right, power, obligation, liability, responsibility or duty under this Agreement.

10.12. Collateral Matters and Releases; Designation of Non-Borrowing Base Assets; Protective Advances.

(1) Each Lender hereby authorizes each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to any of the Loan Documents.

(2) The Lenders and other Secured Parties hereby authorize and direct, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender or any other Secured Party:

Upon request by the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Collateral Agent’s or the Administrative Agent’s, as applicable, authority to release particular types or items of Collateral or particular Guarantors pursuant to this Section 10.12. In each case as specified in this Section 10.12, each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent will (and each Lender and other Secured Party irrevocably authorizes each of the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent to), at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Borrower Party such documents as such Borrower Party may reasonably request to evidence any release of such item of Collateral from the security interest granted under the Security Documents or to evidence any release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the applicable Guaranty and as a Pledgor under the Pledge Agreement (and in connection with therewith, release as a Borrower Party, Borrowing Base Equity Interest Asset Owner, Additional Equity Interest Asset Owner, Property Owner, Unencumbered Property Owner Parent and/or Property Owner Parent under the Loan Documents), as applicable, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 10.12.

(3) Any such release of guarantee obligations or other obligations shall be deemed subject to the provision that such obligations shall be reinstated if after such release any portion of any payment in respect of the Obligations guaranteed thereby shall be rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of any Borrower Party, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower Party or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

(4) The Collateral Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Secured Party or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower, any other Borrower Party or any other Subsidiary or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Collateral Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Collateral Agent in this Article 10 or in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Collateral Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, and that the Collateral Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders or the other Secured Parties, except to the extent resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment.

In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of any applicable intercreditor or subordination agreement permitted under this Agreement and this Agreement, the provisions of such intercreditor or subordination agreement shall control.

(6) Without limiting the other provisions of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent may make, and shall be reimbursed by the Lenders to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower for, Protective Advances with respect to each Mortgaged Property in an aggregate amount per calendar year not to exceed the sum of (i) amounts expended to pay real estate Taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon such Mortgaged Property; (ii) amounts expended to pay insurance premiums for policies of insurance related to such Mortgaged Property; and (iii) $1,000,000. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all Protective Advances.

(7) The Borrower may designate a Borrowing Base Unencumbered Asset that is subject to a Financing or Joint Venture Transaction described in clause (iii) of the definition thereof as a non-Borrowing Base Asset by delivering the applicable officer’s certificate described in clause (v) of the definition of “Financing or Joint Venture Transaction Release Conditions” (and the satisfaction of all other applicable Financing or Joint Venture Transaction Release Conditions in connection therewith; provided that no Agent shall be responsible for or have any liability in connection with determining whether or not such conditions are satisfied), and upon delivery of such certificate and satisfaction of such conditions, such Borrowing Base Unencumbered Asset shall no longer constitute a Borrowing Base Unencumbered Asset or a Borrowing Base Asset hereunder.

(8) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document (i) neither the Administrative Agent nor the Collateral Agent shall be required to take any action under this Section 10.12 which, in such Agent’s opinion, would expose such Agent to personal liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of Liens and guarantees without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Borrower or any other Borrower Party in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrower or any other Borrower Party. In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses reasonably incurred by the Collateral Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure.

10.13. Secured Treasury Services Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements. Anything contained in any of the Loan Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower Parties, the Agents and each Secured Party hereby agree that no Secured Party shall have any right individually to realize upon any of the Collateral or to enforce any Guaranty, it being understood and agreed that all powers, rights and remedies hereunder and under each Guaranty may be exercised solely by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof and all powers, rights and remedies under the Security Documents may be exercised solely by the Collateral Agent, in each case, on behalf of the Secured Parties. No Specified Counterparty that obtains the benefits of the payment “waterfall” set forth in Article 9, any Guaranty or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Guaranty or any Security Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 10 to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Secured Obligations arising under Secured Treasury Services Agreements and Secured Hedge Agreements unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Secured Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Specified Counterparty. The Specified Counterparties hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to enter into any intercreditor or subordination agreement permitted under this Agreement and any amendment, modification, replacement, extension, supplement or joinder with respect thereto, and any such intercreditor agreement is binding upon the Specified Counterparties.

10.14. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Borrower Party, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether any Credit Exposure 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 the Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not obligated) by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(1) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Loans, LC Exposure and all other Secured 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, the Issuing Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Secured Parties and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Secured Parties) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and

(2) 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 Secured Party to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Secured Parties, 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.

10.15. Erroneous Payments.

(1) If the Administrative Agent notifies a Lender, Issuing Lender or other Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Lender or other Secured Party (any such Lender, Issuing Lender, other Secured Party or other recipient (and each of their respective successors and assigns), a “Payment Recipient”) that the Administrative Agent has determined in its sole discretion (whether or not after receipt of any notice under the immediately succeeding clause (2)) that any funds (as set forth in such notice from the Administrative Agent) received by such Payment Recipient from the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates were erroneously transmitted to, or otherwise erroneously or mistakenly received by, such Payment Recipient (whether or not known to such Lender, Issuing Lender, other Secured Party or other Payment Recipient on its behalf) (any such funds, whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise, individually and collectively, an “Erroneous Payment”) and demands the return of such Erroneous Payment (or a portion thereof), such Erroneous Payment shall at all times remain the property of the Administrative Agent pending its return or repayment as contemplated below in this Section 10.15 and held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, and such Lender, Issuing Lender or other Secured Party shall (or, with respect to any Payment Recipient who received such funds on its behalf, shall cause such Payment Recipient to) promptly, but in no event later than two (2) Business Days thereafter (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, specify in writing), return to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) as to which such a demand was made, in same day funds (in the currency so received), together with interest thereon (except to the extent waived in writing by the Administrative Agent) in respect of each day from and including the date such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) was received by such Payment Recipient to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in same day funds 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 from time to time in effect. A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Payment Recipient under this clause (1) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(2) Without limiting the immediately preceding clause (1), each Lender, Issuing Lender or other Secured Party, or any Person who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Lender or other Secured Party (and each of their respective successors and assigns), hereby further agrees that if it receives a payment, prepayment or repayment (whether received as a payment, prepayment or repayment of principal, interest, fees, distribution or otherwise) from the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) (x) that is in a different amount than, or on a different date from, that specified in this Agreement or in a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates) with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment, (y) that was not preceded or accompanied by a notice of payment, prepayment or repayment sent by the Administrative Agent (or any of its Affiliates), or (z) that such Lender, Issuing Lender or other Secured Party, or other such recipient, otherwise becomes aware was transmitted, or received, in error or by mistake (in whole or in part) in each case:

(A) it acknowledges and agrees that (I) in the case of immediately preceding clauses (x) or (y), an error and mistake shall be presumed to have been made (absent written confirmation from the Administrative Agent to the contrary) or (II) an error and mistake has been made (in the case of immediately preceding clause (z)), in each case, with respect to such payment, prepayment or repayment; and

(B) such Lender, Issuing Lender or other Secured Party shall (and shall cause any other recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf to) promptly (and, in all events, within one Business Day of its knowledge of the occurrence of any of the circumstances described in immediately preceding clauses (x), (y) and (z)) notify the Administrative Agent of its receipt of such payment, prepayment or repayment, the details thereof (in reasonable detail) and that it is so notifying the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.15(2).

For the avoidance of doubt, the failure to deliver a notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.15(2) shall not have any effect on a Payment Recipient’s obligations pursuant to Section 10.15(1) or on whether or not an Erroneous Payment has been made.

(3) Each Lender, Issuing Lender or other Secured Party hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off, net and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender, Issuing Lender or other Secured Party under any Loan Document, or otherwise payable or distributable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender, Issuing Lender or other Secured Party under any Loan Document with respect to any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, against any amount that the Administrative Agent has demanded to be returned under the immediately preceding clause (1).

(4) In the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered by the Administrative Agent for any reason, after demand therefor in accordance with the immediately preceding clause (1), from any Lender that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) (and/or from any Payment Recipient who received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) on its respective behalf) (such unrecovered amount, an “Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency”), upon the Administrative Agent’s notice to such Lender at any time (with the consideration therefor being acknowledged by the parties hereto), (i) such Lender (the “Erroneous Payment Assigning Lender”) shall be deemed to have assigned its Loans (but not its Commitments) of the relevant class with respect to which such Erroneous Payment was made (the “Erroneous Payment Impacted Class”) in an amount equal to the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency (or such lesser amount as the Administrative Agent may specify) (such assignment of the Loans (but not Commitments) of the Erroneous Payment Impacted Class, the “Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment”) (on a cashless basis and calculated at par plus any accrued and unpaid interest (with the assignment fee to be waived by the Administrative Agent in such instance)), and is hereby (together with the Borrower and, to the extent such Person’s consent would otherwise be required hereunder, each Issuing Lender) deemed to execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement (or, to the extent applicable, an agreement incorporating an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement by reference pursuant to an electronic platform approved by the Administrative Agent as to which the Administrative Agent and such parties are participants) with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and such Lender shall deliver any Notes evidencing such Loans to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but the failure of such Person to deliver any such Notes shall not affect the effectiveness of the foregoing assignment), (ii) the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall be deemed to have acquired the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, (iii) upon such deemed acquisition, the Administrative Agent as the assignee Lender shall become a Lender, as applicable, hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and the assigning Lender shall cease to be a Lender hereunder with respect to such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, its obligations under the indemnification provisions of this Agreement and its applicable Commitments which shall survive as to such assigning Lender and (iv) the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Lender and the Borrower shall each be deemed to have waived any consents required under this Agreement to any such Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment, and (v) the Administrative Agent will reflect in the Register its ownership interest in the Loans subject to the Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment.

(5) Subject to Section 11.8 (but excluding, in all events, any assignment consent or approval requirements other than with respect to a Disqualified Institution), the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, sell any Loans acquired pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment and upon receipt of the proceeds of such sale, the Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender shall be reduced by the net proceeds of the sale of such Loan (or portion thereof), and the Administrative Agent shall retain all other rights, remedies and claims against such Lender (and/or against any recipient that receives funds on its respective behalf). In addition, an Erroneous Payment Return Deficiency owing by the applicable Lender (x) shall be reduced by the proceeds of prepayments or repayments of principal and interest, or other distribution in respect of principal and interest, received by the Administrative Agent on or with respect to any such Loans acquired from such Lender pursuant to an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment (to the extent that any such Loans are then owned by the Administrative Agent) and (y) may, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, be reduced by any amount specified by the Administrative Agent in writing to the applicable Lender from time to time.

(6) The parties hereto agree that (x) irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent may be equitably subrogated, in the event that an Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) is not recovered from any Payment Recipient that has received such Erroneous Payment (or portion thereof) for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall be subrogated to all the rights and interests of such Payment Recipient (and, in the case of any Payment Recipient who has received funds on behalf of a Lender, Issuing Lender or other Secured Party, to the rights and interests of such Lender, Issuing Lender or other Secured Party, as the case may be) under the Loan Documents with respect to such amount (the “Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights”) (provided that the Borrower Parties’ Secured Obligations under the Loan Documents in respect of the Erroneous Payment Subrogation Rights shall not be duplicative of such Secured Obligations in respect of Loans that have been assigned to the Administrative Agent under an Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment) and (y) an Erroneous Payment shall not pay, prepay, repay, discharge or otherwise satisfy any Secured Obligations owed by the Borrower or any other Borrower Party; provided that this Section 10.15 shall not be interpreted to increase (or accelerate the due date for), or have the effect of increasing (or accelerating the due date for), the Secured Obligations of the Borrower relative to the amount (and/or timing for payment) of the Secured Obligations that would have been payable had such Erroneous Payment not been made by the Administrative Agent; provided, further, that for the avoidance of doubt, immediately preceding clauses (x) and (y) shall not apply to the extent any such Erroneous Payment is, and solely with respect to the amount of such Erroneous Payment that is, comprised of funds received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Borrower Party for the purpose of making a payment on the Secured Obligations.

(7) In the event that a Revolving Loan is assigned pursuant to clause (4) above, then (i) for purposes of determining “Required Lenders” or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders required to waive, amend or modify any rights hereunder or make any determination or grant any consent hereunder, (x) the unused Revolving Commitment of the applicable class of an Erroneous Payment Assigning Lender shall be deemed to be reduced by the Erroneous Payment Assigned Amount (as defined below) of such Erroneous Payment Assigning Lender and (y) the Erroneous Payment Assigned Amount held by the Administrative Agent shall be included as Revolving Loans of the applicable class in any determination under such defined terms or provisions, (ii) the amount of the Unused Line Fee payable to any Lender shall not be increased as a result of such assignment, (iii) the amount available to be borrowed by the Borrower from the Erroneous Payment Assigning Lender in respect of the affected class of Revolving Commitments shall not be increased as a result of such assignment, (iv) to the extent appropriate and relating to the determination of the proper recipient of any payment attributable to the applicable Erroneous Payment Assigned Amount, such Erroneous Payment Assigned Amount shall be treated as a part of the Revolving Credit Exposure of the Administrative Agent with respect to the affected class and (v) otherwise, such Erroneous Payment Assigned Amount shall be treated as a part of the Revolving Credit Exposure of the Erroneous Payment Assigning Lender, including for purposes of determining participations in Letters of Credit. For purposes hereof, “Erroneous Payment Assigned Amount” shall mean, as to any Erroneous Payment Assigning Lender, the principal amount assigned in accordance with clause (4) above (taking into account any prepayment or repayment from time to time of such principal amount in accordance with the terms of this Agreement). For the avoidance of doubt, no Erroneous Payment Deficiency Assignment will reduce the Revolving Commitments of any Lender and such Revolving Commitments shall remain available in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

(8) To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Payment Recipient shall assert any right or claim to an Erroneous Payment, and hereby waives, and is deemed to waive, any claim, counterclaim, defense or right of set-off or recoupment with respect to any demand, claim or counterclaim by the Administrative Agent for the return of any Erroneous Payment received, including without limitation any defense based on “discharge for value” or any similar doctrine.

(9) Each party’s obligations, agreements and waivers under this Section 10.15 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any transfer of rights or obligations by, or the replacement of, a Lender, Issuing Lender or other Secured Party, the termination of the Commitments and/or the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all Secured Obligations (or any portion thereof) under any Loan Document.

ARTICLE 11. Miscellaneous Provisions.

(5) If any Lender does not consent to a proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document that requires the consent of each Lender that would be directly and adversely affected thereby or the consent of all Lenders, as the case may be, the Borrower may replace such non-consenting Lender in accordance with Section 2.8(2); provided that (i) such proposed amendment, waiver, consent or release has otherwise been approved by the Required Lenders and (ii) such amendment, waiver, consent or release can be effected as a result of the assignment contemplated by such Section (together with all other such assignments required by the Borrower to be made pursuant to this paragraph).

Further, it is expressly agreed and understood that the failure by the Required Lenders to elect to accelerate amounts outstanding hereunder and/or to terminate the Commitments of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders hereunder shall not constitute a Modification or waiver of any term or provision of this Agreement.

11.3. Cumulative Rights; No Waiver. The rights, powers and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are cumulative and in addition to all rights, power and remedies provided under any and all agreements among the Borrower Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders relating hereto, at law, in equity or otherwise. Any delay or failure by

Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders to exercise any right, power or remedy shall not constitute a waiver thereof by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders or the Lenders, and no single or partial exercise by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders or the Lenders of any right, power or remedy shall preclude other or further exercise thereof or any exercise of any other rights, powers or remedies.

(1) With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders (with respect to assignments of Revolving Commitments and Revolving Credit Exposure only) and, but only if there has not occurred and is continuing an Event of Default or Potential Default, MAC, in each case such consents not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, any Lender may at any time assign and delegate to one or more Eligible Assignees (provided that (i) no written consent of MAC or the Administrative Agent shall be required in connection with any assignment and delegation by a Lender to an Affiliate of such Lender or to another Lender or its Affiliate or an Approved Fund, (ii) MAC shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment and delegation unless it shall have objected thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 Business Days after having received notice thereof and (iii) MAC’s refusal to consent to an assignment to an assignee on the basis that MAC would be obligated to pay to the assignee pursuant to Section 2.7 an amount in excess of the amount payable to the applicable assignor pursuant to Section 2.7 immediately prior to such assignment is deemed to be reasonable) (each an “Assignee”) all or any part of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it) and the other Obligations held by such Lender hereunder, in a minimum amount of $5 million (or (A) if such Assignee is another Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, $1 million, or such lesser amount as agreed by the Administrative Agent; and (B) if such Lender’s Commitment (or, after the Revolving Commitments have terminated, Revolving Credit Exposure) is less than $5 million, one hundred percent (100%) thereof); provided, however, that MAC, the Borrower, the Issuing Lenders, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent may continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with the interest so assigned to an Assignee until (i) written notice of such assignment, together with payment instructions, addresses and related information with respect to the Assignee, shall have been given to the Borrower, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent by such Lender and the Assignee and such assignment shall have been recorded in the Register in accordance with Section 11.8(1)(B); (ii) such Lender and its Assignee shall have delivered to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement; and (iii) the Assignee has paid to the Administrative Agent a processing fee in the amount of $3,500. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, unless a Potential Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no assignment, transfer or participation may be made to a Disqualified Institution absent the prior written consent of MAC (which consent may be made in its sole and absolute discretion). The Administrative Agent and its Related Parties shall not be responsible or have any liability for, or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into, monitor or enforce compliance with the provisions hereof relating to Disqualified Institutions; provided that the list of Disqualified Institutions shall be posted for all Lenders or made available to any Lender upon request.

(A) From and after the date that the Administrative Agent notifies the assignor Lender and the Borrower that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and payment of the above-referenced processing fee: (i) the Assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, shall have the rights and obligations of a Lender under the Loan Documents, (ii) the assignor Lender shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Loan Documents (but shall be entitled to indemnification as otherwise provided in this Agreement with respect to any events occurring prior to the assignment) and (iii) this Agreement shall be deemed to be amended to the extent, but only to the extent, necessary to reflect the addition of the Assignee and the resulting adjustment of the Commitments and Credit Exposures resulting therefrom.

(B) Borrower, Administrative Agent and Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and owners of the corresponding Commitments and Loans listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment or Loan shall be effective, in each case, unless and until receipt by Administrative Agent of a fully executed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement effecting the assignment or transfer thereof, together with the required forms and certificates regarding tax matters and any fees payable in connection with such assignment, in each case, as provided in Section 11.8(1). Each assignment shall be recorded in the Register promptly following receipt by the Administrative Agent of the fully executed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and all other necessary documents and approvals, prompt notice thereof shall be provided to Borrower and a copy of such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement shall be maintained, as applicable. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of the corresponding Commitments or Loans. The Administrative Agent will deliver to the Borrower a copy of the Register within five (5) Business Days after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of the Borrower’s written request therefor.

(2) Within five Business Days after its receipt of notice by the Administrative Agent that it has received an executed Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and payment of the processing fee (which notice shall also be sent by the Administrative Agent to each Lender), the Borrower shall, if requested by the Assignee, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, a new Note evidencing such Assignee’s Revolving Commitment.

(3) Any Lender may at any time, without notice to or the consent of any other Person, sell to one or more commercial banks or other Persons not Affiliates of the Borrower (other than, unless a Potential Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, a Disqualified Institution without the prior written consent of MAC) (a “Participant”) participating interests in all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it) (the “Originating Lender”); provided, however, that (i) the Originating Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) the Originating Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Borrower, the Issuing Lenders, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with the Originating Lender in connection with the Originating Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In the case of any such participation, the Participant shall be entitled to the benefit of Sections 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 (and subject to the burdens of Sections 2.8 and 11.8 above), and the benefits of Section 2.10 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 2.10(6) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 2.10(6) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) as though it were also a Lender thereunder, and if amounts outstanding under this Agreement are due and unpaid, or shall have been declared or shall have become due and payable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Participant shall be deemed to have the right of set-off in respect of its participating interest in amounts owing under this Agreement to the same extent as if the amount of its participating interest were owing directly to it as a Lender under this Agreement, and Section 11.10 of this Agreement shall apply to such Participant as if it were a Lender party hereto.

(4) Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the contrary, any Lender may pledge and/or assign all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans owing to it) to any Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank or the United States Treasury as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank or other central bank, provided that any payment in respect of such pledged and assigned interests made by the Borrower to or for the account of the assigning and/or pledging Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall satisfy the Borrower’s obligations hereunder in respect to such assigned interests to the extent of such payment. No such pledge or assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

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

(6) No Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (1) of this Section 11.8, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs (3) and (5) of this Section 11.8, or (iii) by way of assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (4) of this Section 11.8 (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).

(7) A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 2.7 or 2.10 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 MAC’s prior written consent.

11.9. Counterparts; Electronic Execution. 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. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement. The words “execution,” “signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to include electronic signatures or electronic records, 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. The Administrative Agent may also require that any such documents and signatures delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission be confirmed by a manually signed original thereof; provided that the failure to request or deliver the same shall not limit the effectiveness of any document or signature delivered by facsimile or other electronic transmission.

11.10. Sharing of Payments. If any Lender or any Issuing Lender shall receive and retain any payment, whether by setoff, application of deposit balance or security, or otherwise, in respect of the Obligations in excess of such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s Applicable Revolving Percentage, then such Lender or such Issuing Lender shall purchase from the other Revolving Lenders, for cash and at face value and without recourse, such participation in the Obligations held by them as shall be necessary to cause such excess payment to be shared ratably as aforesaid with each of them; provided, that if such excess payment or part thereof is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender or Issuing Lender, the related purchases from the other Lenders shall be rescinded ratably and the purchase price restored as to the portion of such excess payment so recovered, but without interest. Each Lender, each Issuing Lender and each Agent is hereby authorized by the Borrower Parties to exercise any and all rights of setoff, counterclaim or bankers’ lien against the full amount of the Obligations, whether or not held by such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such Agent. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders hereby agree to exercise any such rights first against the Obligations and only then to any other Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender or such Issuing Lender.

11.11. Confidentiality. Each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees to take normal and reasonable precautions and exercise due care to maintain the confidentiality of all information provided to it by any of the Borrower Parties or by the Administrative Agent on the Borrower Parties’ behalf, in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, and neither it nor any of its Affiliates shall use any such information for any purpose or in any manner other than pursuant to the terms contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent such information: (1) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by any Lender or any Issuing Lender or any prospective Lender, or (2) was or becomes available from a source other than the Borrower Parties not known to the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders to be in breach of an obligation of confidentiality to the Borrower Parties in the disclosure of such information. Nothing contained herein shall restrict any Lender or any Issuing Lender from disclosing such information (i) at the request or pursuant to any requirement of any Governmental Authority or self-regulatory authority; (ii) pursuant to subpoena or other court process; (iii) when required to do so in accordance with the provisions of any applicable Requirement of Law; (iv) to the extent reasonably required in connection with any litigation or proceeding to which the Administrative Agent, the Collateral, Agent, any Issuing Lender, any Lender or their respective Affiliates may be party; (v) to the extent reasonably required in connection with the exercise of any remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document; (vi) to such Lender’s or such Issuing Lender’s Affiliates and to their and their Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other 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); (vii) to the extent such disclosure is otherwise consented to by the Borrower; (viii) to any rating agency when required by it, provided that, prior to any disclosure, such rating agency shall undertake in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Borrower Parties received by it from any Agent or any Lender; (ix) to the other parties to this Agreement; (x) to bank trade publications (in the case of this clause (x), such information limited to deal terms and other information customarily found in such publications); (xi) to any permitted pledgee under Section 11.8(4); or (xii) to any Participant or Assignee and to any prospective Participant or Assignee (other than any Disqualified Institution unless an assignment or participation to such Disqualified Institution would be permitted at such time) or to any direct or indirect contractual counterparties (or the professional advisors thereto) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower Parties and their obligations, provided that each Participant and Assignee, prospective Participant or Assignee or contractual counterparty first agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 11.11 or to confidentiality provisions that are at least as restrictive as this Section 11.11.

11.12. Consent to Jurisdiction. SUBJECT TO CLAUSE (E) OF THE FOLLOWING SENTENCE, ALL JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS BROUGHT AGAINST ANY PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING HERETO OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, ANY OF THE OBLIGATIONS, AND/OR ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSIES, DISPUTES OR CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE AND IN LAW OR EQUITY) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY SHALL BE BROUGHT IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION IN THE STATE, COUNTY AND CITY OF NEW YORK. BY EXECUTING AND DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT AND/OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, EACH BORROWER PARTY, FOR ITSELF AND IN CONNECTION WITH ITS PROPERTIES, IRREVOCABLY (A) ACCEPTS GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS (OTHER THAN WITH RESPECT TO ACTIONS BY ANY AGENT IN RESPECT OF RIGHTS UNDER ANY SECURITY AGREEMENT GOVERNED BY A LAW OTHER THAN THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR WITH RESPECT TO ANY COLLATERAL SUBJECT THERETO); (B) WAIVES ANY DEFENSE OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS; (C) AGREES THAT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, TO THE APPLICABLE BORROWER PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS PROVIDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 11.6; (D) AGREES THAT SERVICE AS PROVIDED IN CLAUSE (C) ABOVE IS SUFFICIENT TO CONFER PERSONAL JURISDICTION OVER THE APPLICABLE BORROWER PARTY IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND OTHERWISE CONSTITUTES EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT; AND (E) AGREES THAT AGENTS AND LENDERS RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST ANY BORROWER PARTY IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION IN CONNECTION WITH THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS UNDER ANY LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT.

11.13. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE BORROWER PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING LENDERS AND THE LENDERS EACH WAIVE THEIR RESPECTIVE RIGHTS TO A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIMS, CONTROVERSIES, DISPUTES OR CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE AND IN LAW OR EQUITY) BASED UPON, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY, IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR OTHER LITIGATION OF ANY TYPE BROUGHT BY ANY OF THE PARTIES AGAINST ANY OTHER PARTY OR ANY PARTICIPANT OR ASSIGNEE. EACH OF THE BORROWER PARTIES, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING LENDERS AND THE LENDERS EACH AGREE THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE TRIED BY A COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, EACH OF SUCH PARTIES FURTHER AGREES THAT ITS RESPECTIVE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IS WAIVED BY OPERATION OF THIS SECTION AS TO ANY ACTION, COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHICH SEEKS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO CHALLENGE THE VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS OR ANY PROVISION HEREOF OR THEREOF. THIS WAIVER SHALL APPLY TO ANY SUBSEQUENT AMENDMENTS, RENEWALS, SUPPLEMENTS OR MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.

11.14. Indemnity. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, each of the Borrower Parties shall, jointly and severally, indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent, the other Agents, each Issuing Lender and each Lender and each of their respective Related Parties (each, an “Indemnified Person”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, charges, expenses and disbursements (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time (including at any time following the Revolving Commitment Termination Date and the termination, resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Issuing Lender or replacement of any Lender) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against any such Person in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, or the transactions contemplated hereby, or any action taken or omitted by any such Person under or in connection with any of the foregoing, including with respect to any investigation, litigation or proceeding (including any insolvency proceeding or appellate proceeding) related to or arising out of this Agreement or the Loans or Letters of Credit (including any refusal by an Issuing Lender to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit) or the use of the proceeds thereof, whether or not any Indemnified Person is a party thereto (all the foregoing, collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that the Borrower Parties shall only be responsible for fees and disbursements of one primary outside counsel (unless there is an actual or perceived conflict of interest, in which case another primary outside counsel shall be permitted for each group of similarly situated Persons) for the Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole, and, if reasonably necessary, one special or local counsel (unless there is an actual or perceived conflict of interest, in which case another special or local counsel shall be permitted for each group of similarly situated Persons) for the Indemnified Persons, taken as a whole, in each relevant material jurisdiction (which may include a single special counsel acting in multiple jurisdictions); provided, further, that the Borrower Parties shall have no obligation hereunder to any Indemnified Person with respect to Indemnified Liabilities resulting solely from (i) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Person as finally determined in a nonappealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction, (ii) a claim not involving an act or omission of the Borrower Parties that is brought by an Indemnified Person against another Indemnified Person (provided that this clause (ii) shall not apply to any claim brought against any Agent in its capacity as such) or (iii) a claim brought by the Borrower against an Indemnified Person for a material breach of such Person’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided further, however, that in no event shall any officer, director, employee, agent, consultant, investor, manager or other Person (except only the Borrower Parties) have any indemnification obligation or liability of any kind to any Indemnified Person under this Section 11.14. To the extent permitted by applicable law, no Borrower Party or, subject to the proviso at the end of this sentence, no Indemnified Person shall assert, and each Borrower Party hereby waives, any claim against each Indemnified Person, and each Indemnified Person hereby waives, any claim against each Borrower Party, in each case, in respect of any Punitive Damages and each Borrower Party and each Indemnified Person hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any such claim or any such Punitive Damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor; provided, however, that the foregoing is not in any way intended to affect the rights of the Indemnified Persons with respect to Punitive Damages awarded to a third party that are otherwise subject to indemnification pursuant to this Section 11.14. The agreements in this Section 11.14 shall survive payment of all other Obligations. This Section 11.14 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax claim.

11.15. Telephonic Instruction. Any agreement of the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders herein to receive certain notices by telephone is solely for the convenience and at the request of the Borrower. The Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely on the authority of any Person purporting to be a Person authorized by the Borrower to give such notice and the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders shall not have any liability to the Borrower or other Person on account of any action taken or not taken by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders or the Lenders in reliance upon such telephonic notice. The obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loans and the LC Disbursements shall not be affected in any way or to any extent by any failure by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders to receive written confirmation of any telephonic notice or the receipt by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders of a confirmation which is at variance with the terms understood by the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Lenders to be contained in the telephonic notice.

11.16. Marshalling; Payments Set Aside. Neither the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Issuing Lender nor the Lenders shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any of the Borrower Parties or any other Person or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured Obligations. To the extent that any of the Borrower Parties makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Issuing Lenders or the Lenders, or the Administrative Agent, any other Agent, any Issuing Lender or the Lenders enforce their Liens or exercise their rights of set-off, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or set-off or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party in connection with any insolvency proceeding, or otherwise, then (1) to the extent of such recovery the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or set-off had not occurred, and (2) each Lender and each Issuing Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and/or the Collateral Agent, as applicable upon demand its ratable share of the total amount so recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as applicable.

11.17. Set-off. In addition to any rights and remedies of the Agents, the Lenders and the Issuing Lenders provided by law, if an Event of Default exists, each Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Lender is authorized at any time and from time to time, without prior notice to the Borrower Parties, any such notice being waived by the Borrower Parties to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply in favor of the Secured Parties any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held by, and other Indebtedness at any time owing by, such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower Parties against any and all Obligations owing to the Secured Parties, now or hereafter existing, irrespective of whether or not the Administrative Agent, any other Agent or such Lender or such Issuing Lender shall have made demand under this Agreement or any Loan Document and although such Obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Agent, each Lender and each Issuing Lender agrees promptly to (i) notify the Borrower Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent after any such set-off and application made by such Agent, such Lender or such Issuing Lender; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application and (ii) pay such amounts that are set-off to the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties.

11.18. Severability. The illegality or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or any instrument or agreement required hereunder or thereunder shall not in any way affect or impair the legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof or thereof.

11.19. No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are made and entered into for the sole protection and legal benefit of the Borrower Parties, the Lenders, the Indemnified Persons, the Issuing Lenders and the Agents, and their permitted successors and assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

11.20. No Fiduciary Duty. Each Agent, each Lender, each Issuing Lender and their Affiliates (collectively, solely for purposes of this paragraph, the “Lender Parties”), may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Borrower Parties, their stockholders and/or their affiliates. Each Borrower Party agrees that nothing in the Loan Documents or otherwise will be deemed to create an advisory, fiduciary or agency relationship or fiduciary or other implied duty between any Lender Party, on the one hand, and such Borrower Party, its stockholders or its affiliates, on the other. The Borrower Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (including the exercise of rights and remedies hereunder and thereunder) are arm’s-length commercial transactions between the Lender Parties, on the one hand, and the Borrower Parties, on the other, and (ii) in connection therewith and with the process leading thereto, (x) no Lender Party has assumed an advisory or fiduciary responsibility in favor of any Borrower Party, its stockholders or its affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby (or the exercise of rights or remedies with respect thereto) or the process leading thereto (irrespective of whether any Lender Party has advised, is currently advising or will advise any Borrower Party, its stockholders or its Affiliates on other matters) or any other obligation to any Borrower Party except the obligations expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and (y) each Lender Party is acting solely as principal and not as the agent or fiduciary of any Borrower Party, its management, stockholders, creditors or any other Person. Each Borrower Party acknowledges and agrees that it has consulted its own legal and financial advisors to the extent it deemed appropriate and that it is responsible for making its own independent judgment with respect to such transactions and the process leading thereto. Each Borrower Party agrees that it will not claim that any Lender Party has rendered advisory services of any nature or respect, or owes a fiduciary or similar duty to such Borrower Party, in connection with such transaction or the process leading thereto.

11.21. PATRIOT Act. Each Lender, each Issuing Lender, the Collateral Agent and Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Borrower Party that pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Borrower Party, which information includes the name and address of each Borrower Party and other information that will allow such Lender, such Issuing Lender, Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify such Borrower Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. Additionally, the Patriot Act and federal regulations issued with respect thereto require all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such financial institution. Consequently, a Lender, an Issuing Lender, Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent may from time-to-time request, and the Borrower Parties shall provide to such Lender, such Issuing Lender, Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent, as applicable, such Borrower Party’s name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for such Lender, such Issuing Lender, Collateral Agent or Administrative Agent, as applicable, to comply with federal law. An “account” for this purpose may include, without limitation, a deposit account, cash management service, a transaction or asset account, a credit account, a loan or other extension of credit, and/or other financial services product.

11.22. Time. Time is of the essence as to each term or provision of this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents.

11.23. Effectiveness of Agreement. This Agreement shall become effective upon satisfaction of all of the conditions set forth in Section 5.1 of this Agreement.

11.24. Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of Affected Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Affected Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

(1) the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by the applicable Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any party hereto that is an Affected Financial Institution; and

(2) the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:

(A) a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;

(B) a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such Affected Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or

(C) the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of the applicable Resolution Authority.

11.25. Certain ERISA Matters.

(1) Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Agents and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower or any other Borrower Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:
