A.    The Borrower, the Parent REIT, certain guarantors (each, a “Guarantor” and collectively “Guarantors”), the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, the L/C Issuer, and certain lenders (each, a “Lender” and collectively, “Lenders”) are parties to that certain Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of October 16, 2014 (as modified, amended, renewed, extended, or restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).

B.    The Borrower, the Parent REIT, and Guarantors (each, a “Loan Party” and collectively, the “Loan Parties”) have requested that Credit Parties modify certain provisions contained in the Credit Agreement, and each Credit Party that is a party hereto has agreed to such modifications, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

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

1.    Terms and References. Unless otherwise stated in this Amendment (a) terms defined in the Credit Agreement have the same meanings when used in this Amendment, and (b) references to “Sections” are to the Credit Agreement’s sections.

(a)Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to add the following definitions in the appropriate alphabetical order:

“First Amendment Effective Date” means April 13, 2015, the effective date of the First Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, executed by the Borrower, the Parent REIT, the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent, the Swing Line Lender, the L/C Issuer, and certain Lenders.

“Negative Pledge” means a provision of any agreement (other than this Agreement or any other Loan Document) that prohibits the creation of any Lien on any assets of a Person; provided, however, that neither (a) an agreement that establishes a maximum ratio of unsecured debt to unencumbered assets, or of secured debt to total assets, or that otherwise conditions a Person’s ability to encumber its assets upon the maintenance of one or more specified ratios that limit such Person’s ability to encumber its assets but that do not generally prohibit the encumbrance of its assets, or the encumbrance of specific assets nor (b) any requirement for the grant in favor of the holders of any Unsecured Indebtedness of an equal and ratable Lien in connection with a pledge of any property or asset to secure the Obligations, shall constitute a “Negative Pledge” for purposes of this Agreement.

(b)Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete the definition of “Secured Debt” in its entirety and replace such definition with the following:

“Secured Debt” means, for any given calculation date, without duplication, the total aggregate principal amount of any Indebtedness of the Consolidated Parties on a consolidated basis that is secured in any manner by any Lien (other than Permitted Liens of the types described in Sections 7.01(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (g), (h), and (k)); provided that (a) Indebtedness in respect of obligations under any capitalized lease shall not be deemed to be “Secured Debt” and (b) “Secured Debt” shall exclude Excluded Capital Leases.

(c)Section 1.01 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended to delete clause (iv) of the definition of “Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties” in its entirety and replace such clause with the following:

(iv)    such Real Property is free of any Liens (other than Permitted Liens of the types described in Sections 7.01(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (g), (h), and (k)) or Negative Pledges;

(d)Section 1.07(d) of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

The Loan Parties may voluntarily remove any Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property from qualification as such (but only in connection with a proposed financing, sale or other Disposition) by deleting such Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property in a Compliance Certificate delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of Section 6.03(e), if, and to the extent: (i) the Loan Parties shall, immediately following such removal, be in compliance (on a Pro Forma Basis) with all of the covenants contained in Section 7 of this Agreement; (ii) no Default exists or would result therefrom; and (iii) a minimum of five (5) Real Properties having an aggregate value as determined in accordance with undepreciated GAAP of at least $250,000,000 remain qualified as Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties after such release; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Default exists or would result therefrom, the Borrower may have less than five (5) (but not less than four (4)) Unencumbered Borrowing Base Properties for one full calendar quarter in any fiscal year. So long as no Default exists or would result therefrom, the Administrative Agent shall release any Subsidiary that owns any Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property that is being removed pursuant to this clause (d) from its obligations (accrued or unaccrued) under Section 11 and the Administrative Agent shall promptly, and in any event within five (5) Business Days, execute a Release of Guarantor in the form of Exhibit H attached hereto if such Subsidiary becomes a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary in connection with such removal or will become a Non-Guarantor Subsidiary within ten (10) Business Days of such removal.

(e)Section 3.01(e)(ii)(D) of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following at the end thereof:

For purposes of determining withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA, from and after the First Amendment Effective Date, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall treat (and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to treat) the Obligations as not qualifying as a “grandfathered obligation” within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1471-2(b)(2)(i).
