NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the sum of TEN and NO/100 DOLLARS ($10.00), and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto do hereby covenant and agree as follows:

1.Definitions. All the terms used herein which are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Loan Agreement.

2.    Modification of the Loan Agreement. Borrower, Agent and the Banks hereby modify and amend the Loan Agreement as follows:

(a)    The definitions of “Applicable Margin”, “Capitalization Rate”, “Credit Rating” “Credit Rating Level”, “Letter of Credit Sublimit”, “Obligations”, “Required Banks”, “Revolving Credit Maturity Date”, “Subsidiary Guarantor”, “Swing Line Sublimit”, “Total Commitment”, “Total Revolving Credit Commitment”, and “Unsecured Indebtedness” in §1.1 of the Loan Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety and the following inserted in lieu thereof:

“Applicable Margin. (a) On any date prior to such time as the Agent first receives written notice from Trust of an Investment Grade Rating Event and that Borrower irrevocably elects to have the Applicable Margin determined based upon the Credit Rating Levels set forth in subpart (b) of this definition, the applicable margin set forth below based on the ratio of the Consolidated Total Liabilities of the Borrower to the Consolidated Total Adjusted Asset Value of the Borrower (expressed as a percentage):

The initial Applicable Margin as of October 10, 2014 shall be at Pricing Level 1. The Applicable Margin determined pursuant to this subpart (a) shall be adjusted based upon such ratio, if at all, on the first day of the first month following the delivery by the Borrower to the Agent of the Compliance Certificate at the end of each fiscal quarter. In the event that Borrower shall fail to deliver to the Agent a quarterly Compliance Certificate on or before the date required by §7.4(e), then without limiting any other rights of the Agent and the Banks under this Agreement, the Applicable Margin determined pursuant to this subpart (a) shall be at Pricing Level 4 until such failure is cured within any applicable cure period.

(b)    From and after the time that Agent first receives written notice from Trust or Borrower of an Investment Grade Rating Event and that Borrower irrevocably elects to have the Applicable Margin determined based upon the Credit Rating Levels set forth in subpart (b) of this definition, “Applicable Margin” shall mean, as of any date of determination, a percentage per annum determined by reference to the Credit Rating Level as set forth below (provided that any accrued interest payable at the Applicable Margin

determined above in subpart (a) of this definition shall be payable as provided in §2.4):

The Applicable Margin determined pursuant to this subpart (b) for the Base Rate Loans shall be determined by reference to the Credit Rating Level in effect from time to time, and the Applicable Margin determined pursuant to this subpart (b) for any Interest Period for the LIBOR Rate Loans having such Interest Period shall be determined by reference to the Credit Rating Level in effect on the first day of such Interest Period; provided, however that no change in the Applicable Margin resulting from the application of the Credit Rating Levels or a change in the Credit Rating Level shall be effective until three Business Days after the date on which the Agent receives written notice of the application of the Credit Rating Levels or a change in such Credit Rating Level. From and after the first time that the Applicable Margin is based on Trust’s Investment Grade Rating, the Applicable Margin shall only be calculated by reference to the pricing levels for the Credit Rating Levels set forth above.

Capitalization Rate. Seven percent (7.00%).

Credit Rating. As of any date of determination, the higher of the credit ratings (or their equivalents) then assigned to Trust’s long-term senior unsecured non-credit enhanced debt by any of the Rating Agencies. A credit rating of BBB- from S&P or Fitch is equivalent to a credit rating of Baa3 from Moody’s and vice versa. A credit rating of BBB from S&P or Fitch is equivalent to a credit rating of Baa2 from Moody’s and vice versa. It is the intention of the parties that if Trust shall only obtain a credit rating from S&P or Moody’s without seeking a credit rating from the other Rating Agencies, the Borrower shall be entitled to the benefit of the Credit Rating Level for such credit rating. If Trust shall have obtained a credit rating from at least two of the Rating Agencies, the highest of the obtained ratings shall control, provided that the next highest rating is only one level below that of the highest rating. If the next highest rating is more than one level below that of the highest credit rating, the operative rating would be deemed to be one rating level higher than the lower of the two ratings. In the event that Trust shall have obtained

a credit rating from any of the Rating Agencies and shall thereafter not have ratings from either S&P or Moody’s (whether as a result of a withdrawal, suspension, election to not obtain a rating, or otherwise) such that Trust does not have a credit rating from either S&P or Moody’s, the Trust shall be deemed for the purposes hereof not to have a credit rating. If at any time any of the Rating Agencies shall no longer perform the functions of a securities rating agency, then the Borrower and the Agent shall promptly negotiate in good faith to agree upon a substitute rating agency or agencies (and to correlate the system of ratings of each substitute rating agency with that of the rating agency being replaced), and pending such amendment, the Credit Rating of the other of the Rating Agencies, if one has been provided, shall continue to apply.

Credit Rating Level. One of the following five pricing levels, as applicable, and provided, further, that, from and after the time that Agent receives written notice of an Investment Grade Rating Event, during any period that the Trust has no Credit Rating, Credit Rating Level 5 shall be the applicable Credit Rating Level:

“Credit Rating Level 1” means the Credit Rating Level which would be applicable for so long as the Credit Rating is greater than or equal to A- by S&P or Fitch, or A3 by Moody’s;

“Credit Rating Level 2” means the Credit Rating Level which would be applicable for so long as the Credit Rating is greater than or equal to BBB+ by S&P or Fitch, or Baa1 by Moody’s and Credit Rating Level 1 is not applicable;

“Credit Rating Level 3” means the Credit Rating Level which would be applicable for so long as the Credit Rating is greater than or equal to BBB by S&P or Fitch, or Baa2 by Moody’s and Credit Rating Levels 1 and 2 are not applicable;

“Credit Rating Level 4” means the Credit Rating Level which would be applicable for so long as the Credit Rating is greater than or equal to BBB- by S&P or Fitch, or Baa3 by Moody’s and Credit Rating Levels 1, 2 and 3 are not applicable; and

“Credit Rating Level 5” means the Credit Rating Level which would be applicable for so long as the Credit Rating is less than BBB- by S&P or Fitch, or Baa3 by Moody’s or there is no Credit Rating.

Letter of Credit Sublimit. An amount equal to $35,000,000.00, as such amount may increase as provided in §2.9 or may reduce as provided in §2.7.

Obligations. All indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of the Borrower and the Guarantors to any of the Banks and the Agent, individually or

collectively, under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in respect of any of the Loans, the Letters of Credit or the Notes, or other instruments at any time evidencing any of the foregoing, whether existing on the date of this Agreement or arising or incurred hereafter, direct or indirect, joint or several, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, liquidated or unliquidated, secured or unsecured, arising by contract, operation of law or otherwise. All Obligations shall be superior, in right of payment and otherwise, to the Subordinated Debt and Trust Preferred Equity.

Required Banks. As of any date, any Bank or collection of Banks whose aggregate Commitment Percentage is greater than fifty percent (50%); provided that in determining said percentage at any given time, all then existing Defaulting Banks will be disregarded and excluded and the Commitment Percentages of the Banks shall be redetermined for voting purposes only to exclude the Commitment Percentages of such Defaulting Banks.

Revolving Credit Maturity Date. October 10, 2018, as such date may be extended as provided in §4.15, or such earlier date on which the Loans shall become due and payable pursuant to the terms hereof.

Subsidiary Guarantor. Each Subsidiary of Borrower or the Trust which is or becomes a Guarantor pursuant to §5.2.

Swing Line Sublimit. An amount equal to $47,500,000.00, as such amount may increase as provided in §2.10 or may reduce as provided in §2.7. The Swing Line Sublimit is part of, and not in addition to, the Total Revolving Credit Commitments.

Total Commitment. The sum of the Commitments of the Banks, as in effect from time to time. As of October 10, 2014, the Total Commitment is Three Hundred Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($350,000,000.00). The Total Commitment may increase in accordance with §2.8.

Total Revolving Credit Commitment. The sum of the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Banks, as in effect from time to time. As of October 10, 2014, the Total Revolving Credit Commitment is Three Hundred Fifty Million and No/100 Dollars ($350,000,000.00). The Total Revolving Credit Commitment may increase in accordance with §2.8.

Total Term Loan Commitment. The Total Term Loan Commitment is zero.

Unsecured Indebtedness. As of any date of determination, the Indebtedness of the Borrower, the Trust and their respective Subsidiaries outstanding at any time which is not Secured Indebtedness. Unsecured Indebtedness shall not include Subordinated Debt, lease intangible liabilities, tenant security deposits or accounts payable. Guarantees with respect to customary exceptions to Non-recourse Indebtedness of Borrower’s Subsidiaries or

Unconsolidated Affiliates shall not be deemed to be Unsecured Indebtedness; provided that if a claim is made against Borrower or the Trust with respect thereto, the amount so claimed shall be considered Unsecured Indebtedness.”

(b)    The definitions of “Borrowing Base Availability”, “Debt Service Coverage Amount”, and “Variable Rate Debt” appearing in §1.1 of the Loan Agreement are hereby deleted in their entirety.

(c)    The following new definitions are hereby added to §1.1 of the Loan Agreement in the appropriate alphabetical order:

(d)    Subsection (d) of the definition of “Change of Control” appearing in §1.1 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting said subsection in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

“(d)    the Borrower fails to own, free of any lien, encumbrance or other adverse claim, at least one hundred percent (100%) of the economic interest in the Voting Interest of each Subsidiary Guarantor and Borrowing Base Subsidiary.”

(e)    §2.3 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended by deleting said Section in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following:

“§2.3     Unused Fee; Facility Fee. (23) The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Banks in accordance with their

respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages an unused fee (the “Unused Fee”) calculated at the rate per annum as set forth below on the average daily amount by which the Total Revolving Credit Commitment exceeds the Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans during each day of a calendar quarter or portion thereof commencing on the date hereof and ending on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The Unused Fee shall be calculated for each day based on the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (a) the average daily amount of the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans during such quarter to (b) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, and if such ratio is less than fifty percent (50%), the Unused Fee shall be payable at the rate of 0.25%, and if such ratio is equal to or greater than fifty percent (50%), the Unused Fee shall be payable at the rate of 0.15%. Subject to §2.3(b) below, the Unused Fee shall be calculated for each day of such quarter.

(b)    From and after an Investment Grade Rating Event and written notice from Trust or Borrower that Borrower has irrevocably elected to have the Applicable Margin determined based upon the Credit Rating Levels set forth in subpart (b) of the definition of Applicable Margin, the Unused Fee shall no longer accrue (but any accrued Unused Fee shall be payable as provided in §2.3(a)) and from and thereafter, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Banks a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) from the date thereof until the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, payable in arrears on the fifth (5^th) day of each calendar quarter and on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date. The Facility Fee payable to the account of each Revolving Credit Bank shall be calculated daily for each period for which the Facility Fee is payable on the Total Revolving Credit Commitment during such period at the rate per annum set forth below:

The Facility Fee shall be determined by reference to the Credit Rating Level in effect from time to time; provided, however, that no change in the Facility Fee rate resulting from a change in the Credit Rating Level shall be effective until three Business Days after the date on which the Agent receives written notice of the application of the Credit Rating Levels or a change in such Credit Rating Level.”

Upon the occurrence of an Investment Grade Rating Event and provided that no Default or Event of Default exists, Agent shall release any Subsidiary of the Borrower from the Guaranty upon receipt by Agent of a certificate from an officer of the Borrower certifying that such Subsidiary has not created, incurred, acquired, assumed, suffered to exist and is not otherwise liable (whether as a borrower, co-borrower, guarantor or otherwise) with respect to any Indebtedness that is not Non-recourse Indebtedness (or simultaneously with the release hereunder will be released from liability with respect to such Indebtedness). In the event that at any time after an Investment Grade Rating Event, Trust does not have an Investment Grade Rating from S&P or Moody’s, Borrower and Trust shall within thirty (30) days (or such later date as agreed by Agent) after such occurrence cause all Subsidiaries required to become Subsidiary Guarantors under §5.2(a) of this Agreement to execute and deliver the documents required in said §5.2(a).

If such Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property is owned or leased by a Borrowing Base Subsidiary, such Borrowing Base Subsidiary shall not be a borrower or guarantor with respect to any Secured Indebtedness;

(vi)    no Person other than Borrower or a direct or indirect Wholly Owned Subsidiary of the Borrower (which is a Subsidiary Guarantor if required by this Agreement) has any direct or indirect ownership of any equity interest

or other Voting Interest in such Borrowing Base Subsidiary if such Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property is owned or leased under a Ground Lease by a Borrowing Base Subsidiary (it being understood that no such Person shall be deemed to have any such ownership interest for purposes of this provision solely by virtue of owning any equity interest in the Trust or owning any limited partnership interest in the Borrower, and if such Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property is owned (or leased) by a Borrowing Base Subsidiary, the Borrower’s direct and indirect interest in such Borrowing Base Subsidiary shall be free and clear of all Liens);

(i)    Such Subsidiary shall be a Borrowing Base Subsidiary and a Subsidiary Guarantor (if required by this Agreement);

(ii)    The organizational agreements of such Subsidiary or such other resolutions or consents satisfactory to Agent shall, if such Subsidiary is required to be a Subsidiary Guarantor by this Agreement, specifically authorize such Subsidiary to guaranty the Obligations and to pledge the assets of such Subsidiary as security for the Obligations and the Borrower shall certify to the Agent that applicable law does not preclude such Subsidiary from executing such guaranty or pledging its assets to secure the Obligations;

Within five (5) Business Days after any such disqualification, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a certificate reflecting such disqualification, together with the identity of the disqualified Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property, a statement as to whether any Default or Event of Default arises as a result of such disqualification, and a calculation of the Unencumbered Pool Value and Operating Cash Flow attributable to such Unencumbered Borrowing Base Property.
