With respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.04, the party hereto that sets such record date may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party in writing, and to each Holder of Notes in the manner set forth in Section 1.06, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date.

(i)            the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing (which may be by electronic mail) to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Office Properties Income Trust; 10.000% Senior Secured Notes due 2031; or

(ii)           the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and delivered by electronic means of transmission or to the address listed in Section 1.16.

Section 1.06.        Notice to Holders; Waiver

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Notes other than a provision that expressly states that this paragraph is not applicable to the Notes, when this Indenture or the Notes provides for notice of any event (including any notice of redemption) to a Holder of Notes in global form (whether by mail or otherwise), such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depositary for the Notes (or its designee) pursuant to the customary procedures of such Depositary. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

The use of electronic signatures and electronic records (including, without limitation, any contract or other record created, generated, sent, communicated, received, or stored by electronic means) shall be of the same legal effect, validity and enforceability as a manually executed signature or use of a paper-based recordkeeping system to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, including the ESIGN Act of 2000, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act and any other applicable law, including, without limitation, any state law based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or the UCC.

ARTICLE Three

The Notes

Section 3.01.        Form and Dating

Provisions relating to the Notes are set forth in Appendix A, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture. The Notes and the Trustee’s (or the Authenticating Agent’s) certificate of authentication shall each be substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture. The Notes may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, the rules of any securities exchange agreements to which the Company is subject, if any, or usage; provided that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in form reasonably acceptable to the Company. The Company shall approve the form of the Notes. Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms and provisions contained in the form of the Notes shall constitute and are hereby expressly made a part of this Indenture.

Section 3.02.        Denominations

The Notes shall be issued only in registered form without coupons and only in minimum denominations of $2,000 in principal amount and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Section 3.03.        Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating

The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Company by a Responsible Officer of the Company. The signature of any of these officers on the Notes may be manual, electronic (including DocuSign or other electronic platform) or facsimile.

Notes bearing the manual, electronic (including DocuSign or other electronic platform) or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold such offices at the date of such Notes.

The Company shall execute and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate (whether itself or via the Authenticating Agent), which such authentication may be by manual, electronic (including DocuSign or other electronic platform) or facsimile signature, on (or immediately promptly after) the Issue Date, Notes for original issue up to an aggregate principal amount of $420,000,000. With respect to any additional Notes issued after the Issue Date as provided in Section 3.12 hereof, the Company shall execute and, upon receipt of a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate (whether itself or via the Authenticating Agent), which such authentication may be by manual, electronic (including DocuSign or other electronic platform) or facsimile signature, on (or immediately promptly after) the applicable issue date of such additional Notes.

The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to authenticate the Notes. Unless limited by the terms of such appointment, any such Authenticating Agent may authenticate Notes whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by any such agent. An Authenticating Agent has the same rights as any Security Registrar, co-Security Registrar, Paying Agent or transfer agent to deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Note a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual or electronic signature, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Note shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Note to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.09, for all purposes of this Indenture such Note shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

Section 3.04.        Temporary Notes

Pending the preparation of definitive Notes, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Notes which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

If temporary Notes are issued, the Company will cause definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive Notes, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. Until so exchanged, the temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture.

Section 3.05.        Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange

(a)           The Company shall cause to be kept at an office or agency to be maintained by the Company in accordance with Section 10.02 a register (being the combined register of the Security Registrar and all transfer agents designated pursuant to Section 10.02 for the purpose of registration of transfer of Notes and sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided.

(b)           The Notes shall be issued in registered form and shall be transferable only upon the surrender of a Note for registration of transfer and in compliance with Appendix A. A transferee of the Notes shall be deemed to have represented and agreed to the matters as provided in Appendix A. A transfer in violation of the requirements of Appendix A shall be void ab initio.

(c)           Subject to Section 3.05(b), upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 10.02 for such purpose in a Place of Payment for that Note, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

(d)           All Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

(e)           Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee or any transfer agent) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or the attorney of such Holder duly authorized in writing.

(f)           No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, 9.05 or 11.08 not involving any transfer.

(g)           If the Notes are to be redeemed in part, the Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Notes to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Note so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Note being redeemed in part.

Section 3.06.        Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Notes

If any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (a) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Note and (b) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a new Note of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous two paragraphs, in case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Note, pay such Note.

Upon the issuance of any new Note under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

Every new Note issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

Section 3.07.        Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved

Interest on any Note which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is registered at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest.

The Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on all overdue principal amounts at a rate equal to the then applicable interest rate on the Notes to the extent lawful; the Company shall pay interest (including post-petition interest in any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law) on all overdue installments of interest (without regard to any applicable grace period) at the same rate to the extent lawful.

Any interest on any Note which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (or the corresponding succeeding Business Day) (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below:

(a)           The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on the Notes and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Section 3.07 provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given to each Holder in the manner set forth in Section 1.06, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Notes (or respective Predecessor Notes) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (b).

(b)           The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Notes in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Notes may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Section 3.07, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.07, each Note delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Note shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Note.

Section 3.08.        Persons Deemed Owners

Prior to due presentment of a Note for registration of transfer, the Company, each Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Note is registered as the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payment of principal, premium, if any, and any interest (subject to Section 3.07), if any on, such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and neither the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

Section 3.09.        Cancellation

All Notes surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Notes previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section 3.09, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Notes held by the Trustee shall be disposed of as directed by a Company Order or, in the absence of such a Company Order, in the Trustee’s customary manner, which manner shall be communicated in writing to the Company.

Section 3.10.        Currency

The principal of each Note payable at its Maturity shall be paid against presentation and surrender thereof at the Corporate Trust Office, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public or private debts.

Section 3.11.        ISIN/CUSIP Numbers

The Company, in issuing the Notes, may use “ISIN” and/or “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use such “ISIN” and/or “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Notes or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Notes, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will notify the Trustee of any change in “ISIN” and/or “CUSIP” numbers.

Section 3.12.        Amount

The aggregate principal amount of Notes which may be authenticated and delivered under this Indenture on the Issue Date is $420,000,000.

The Issuer may after the Issue Date, without notice to or consent of the Holders, create or issue additional Notes under this Indenture, provided such issuance otherwise complies with the provisions of this Indenture, including Section 10.07 and 10.09 hereof. Any such additional Notes shall have the same terms, and be part of the same series as, the Notes issued on the Issue Date. Unless the context requires otherwise, references herein to the “Notes” includes any such additional Notes issued after the Issue Date.

Satisfaction and Discharge

Section 4.01.        Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture

This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Notes herein expressly provided for), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when

(a)           either

(i)            all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (A) Notes which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06 and (B) Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 10.03) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

(C)           are to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company,

and the Company, in the case of (A), (B) or (C) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (i) money in an amount, or (ii) Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (iii) a combination thereof, in each case in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Notes not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal of (and premium, if any) and any accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on, such Notes to the date of such deposit (in the case of Notes which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; provided that with respect to a Redemption Date, if all or a portion of the Redemption Price is based on or consists of a redemption premium that is required to be calculated based on a treasury rate or other floating or adjustable rate a specified number of days prior to such Redemption Date, the amount deposited shall be sufficient to the extent that the amount deposited with the Trustee is equal to such redemption premium calculated as of the date of the notice of redemption, with any deficit on the Redemption Date only required to be deposited with the Trustee on or prior to the Redemption Date (it being understood that any satisfaction and discharge shall be subject to the condition subsequent that such deficit is in fact paid);

(b)           the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; and

(c)           the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

Section 4.02.        Application of Trust Money and Government Obligations

Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all money and Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal of (and premium, if any), and any interest on, such Notes for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee.

The Company shall hold harmless, defend, pay and indemnify the Trustee from and against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 4.01 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Notes. The indemnification provided by this Section 4.02 is in addition to the indemnification provided in Section 6.07 and shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee and the termination of this Indenture.

(d)           (i) default in the performance of, or breach of, any covenant of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor in this Indenture (other than Section 10.12), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of more than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder or (ii) default in the performance of, or breach of, Section 10.12, and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 45 days;

(e)           the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law (i) commences a voluntary case, (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case, or (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property;

(f)           a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: (i) is for relief against the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor in an involuntary case, (ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor or for all or substantially all of its property, or (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor, and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days;

(g)           a default under any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor, or under any mortgage, indenture or other instrument of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor (or by any Subsidiary, the repayment of which the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor has guaranteed or for which the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor is directly responsible or liable as obligor or guarantor), whether such indebtedness now exists or shall hereafter be created, which default shall constitute a failure to pay an aggregate principal amount exceeding $25,000,000 of such indebtedness when due and payable after the expiration of any applicable grace period with respect thereto and shall have resulted in such indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount exceeding $25,000,000 becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable; provided, however, that if there is no other senior indebtedness of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors, the maturity of which would be accelerated by a default under any of the Company’s or the Subsidiary Guarantor’s indebtedness in an aggregate principal amount of $25,000,000 or less, the references to $25,000,000 in this clause shall be replaced by the lesser of (i) the indebtedness cross-default amount contained in the Company’s or the Subsidiary Guarantor’s then existing senior secured credit facility, if any, and (ii) such other senior indebtedness, as long as such amount is greater than $25,000,000, not to exceed $50,000,000. Such default shall not be an Event of Default if the indebtedness shall have been discharged, or such acceleration has been rescinded or annulled, within a period of 10 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of more than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, a written notice specifying such default and requiring the Company to cause such indebtedness to be discharged or cause such acceleration to be rescinded or annulled and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” under this Indenture;

(h)           any Subsidiary Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be in full force and effect (except as contemplated by the terms of this Indenture) or is declared null and void in a judicial proceeding or any Subsidiary Guarantor denies or disaffirms its obligations under this Indenture or its Subsidiary Guarantees, as the case may be;

(i)           unless such Liens have been released in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture or the Security Documents with respect to such Liens or in accordance with the provisions of the applicable Intercreditor Agreement, the Liens in favor of the Holders with respect to Collateral having a Fair Market Value in excess of $25,000,000 in the aggregate cease to be valid or enforceable and such default continues for 30 days, or the Company shall assert or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall assert, in any pleading in any court of competent jurisdiction, that security interests with respect to Collateral having a Fair Market Value in excess of $25,000,000 in the aggregate is invalid or unenforceable (except as contemplated by the terms of this Indenture or the applicable Security Documents or Intercreditor Agreement) and, in the case of any Subsidiary Guarantor, the Company shall fail to cause such Subsidiary Guarantor to rescind such assertions within 30 days after the Company has actual knowledge of such assertions; or

(j)           failure by the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor to comply for 60 days after notice or such longer period as may be provided in the applicable Security Documents with its other agreements contained in such Security Documents, in each case, except for a failure that would not be material to the Holders and would not materially affect the value of the Collateral taken as a whole.

Section 5.02.        Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(e) or 5.01(f)) occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee (or Collateral Agent with respect to the Security Documents) or the Holders of not less than a majority of the principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may exercise any enforcement rights and/or remedies with respect to and/or granted under any of the Security Documents and/or declare the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(e) or 5.01(f) occurs, the principal amount of the Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable.

At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Notes has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if

(a)           the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay

(i)            the principal of (and premium, if any) the Notes which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any interest thereon,

(ii)           to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest on the Notes, and

(iii)          all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and

(b)           all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal on Notes which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.

No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

If a default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with another default (such other default, the “Initial Default”) occurs, then at the time such Initial Default is cured, the default for a failure to report or failure to deliver a required certificate in connection with the Initial Default will also be cured without any further action and any default or Event of Default for the failure to comply with the time periods prescribed under Section 10.10 or otherwise to deliver any notice or certificate pursuant to any other provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to be cured upon the delivery of any such report required by Section 10.10 or such notice or certificate, as applicable, even though such delivery is not within the prescribed period specified in this Indenture.

Section 5.03.        Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee

The Company covenants that if:

(a)           default is made in the payment of interest on any Note when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

(b)           default is made in the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) the Notes at the Maturity thereof, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on such Notes for principal of (and premium, if any), and interest on the Notes, and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and on any overdue interest, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Notes by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem reasonably necessary to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

Section 5.04.        Trustee May File Proofs of Claim

In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys 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 Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07.

No provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee.

Section 5.05.        Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Notes

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Notes may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

Section 5.06.        Application of Money Collected

Any money collected by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order and at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee, subject to the terms of the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements, and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium or interest upon presentation of the Notes and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.07 and to the Collateral Agent under Section 14.05;

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid on the Notes for the principal of (and premium, if any), and any interest on, the Notes in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Notes for principal of (and premium, if any), and any interest, respectively; and

THIRD: To the Company.

Section 5.07.        Limitation on Suits

No Holder shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture or the Notes, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under this Indenture or the Notes, unless

(a)           such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Notes;

(b)           the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

(c)           such Holder or Holders have offered, and if requested provided, to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request;

(d)           the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and

(e)           no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes;

it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture or any Note to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture or any Note, except in the manner herein or therein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such Holders.

Section 5.08.        Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Payment

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), and any interest on, such Note on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Note (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

Section 5.09.        Restoration of Rights and Remedies

If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section 5.10.        Rights and Remedies Cumulative

Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes in the last paragraph of Section 3.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 5.11.        Delay or Omission Not Waiver

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Notes to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 5.12.        Control by Holders

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Notes; provided that

(a)           such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture,

(b)           the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and

(c)           the Trustee need not take any action which might involve it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the Holders of Notes not consenting (provided, that the Trustee shall not have an affirmative duty to determine whether such direction is prejudicial to any Holder).

Section 5.13.        Waiver of Past Defaults

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes may on behalf of the Holders of all the Notes waive any past default hereunder with respect to such Notes and its consequences, except a default

(a)           in the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Notes, or

(b)           in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of each Holder of Outstanding Notes affected.

Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 5.14.        Undertaking for Costs

In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such party litigant; provided that this Section 5.14 shall not be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company.

Section 5.15.        Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws

The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

ARTICLE Six

The Trustee

Section 6.01.        Certain Duties and Responsibilities

The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. The Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

Section 6.02.        Notice of Defaults

If a default occurs hereunder with respect to the Notes of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, the Trustee shall give the Holders of the Notes notice of such default; provided, however, that in the case of any default of the character specified in clause (d) of Section 5.01 with respect to the Notes, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

(b)           any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order, and any resolution of the Board shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

(c)           whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel, or both;

(d)           the Trustee may consult with counsel of its own selection and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

(e)           the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

(f)           the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney;

(j)           the Trustee shall not be deemed to know or be charged with knowledge of any default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture and the Event of Default;

(k)           the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and the Person employed to act hereunder;

However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or the Notes or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders or would involve the Trustee in personal liability (it being understood that the Trustee has no duty to determine if any directed action is prejudicial to any Holder); provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction. Prior to taking any such action hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to indemnification satisfactory to it against all fees, losses, liabilities and expenses (including attorney’s fees and expenses) that may be caused by taking or not taking such action;

(q)           the Trustee shall neither be responsible for, nor chargeable with, knowledge of the terms and conditions of any other agreement, instrument, or document other than this Indenture, whether or not an original or a copy of such agreement has been provided to the Trustee;

(r)           the Trustee shall have no duty to know or inquire as to the performance or nonperformance of any provision of any other agreement, instrument, or document other than this Indenture;

(s)           neither the Trustee nor any of its directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates shall be responsible for nor have any duty to monitor the performance or any action of the Company, Guarantors, Collateral Agent, or any of their directors, members, officers, agents, affiliates or employee, nor shall it have any liability in connection with the malfeasance or nonfeasance by such party.

(b)           except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee and the Collateral Agent upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent in accordance with any provision of this Indenture or the Note Documents (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its gross negligence or willful misconduct;

The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Notes by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes.

The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Notes by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Notes, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company.

If at any time:

If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Notes, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Notes (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Notes and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Notes) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11.

The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Notes and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes to all Holders of Notes in the manner provided in Section 1.06.

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Notes, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Notes, the Company, the retiring Trustee and such successor Trustee with respect to the Notes shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein such successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Notes and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Notes to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Notes to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.

Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be.

No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this Article.

In case any Notes shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Notes so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Notes.

Section 6.13.        [Reserved].

Section 6.14.        Appointment of Authenticating Agent

The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to the Notes which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Notes issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 3.06, and Notes so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, and a copy of such instrument shall be promptly furnished to the Company. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Notes by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent; provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company.

Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 1.06 to all Holders of Notes with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 6.07.

If an appointment with respect to the Notes is made pursuant to this Section, the Notes may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:

This is one of the Notes referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

If all of the Notes may not be originally issued at one time, and if the Trustee does not have an office capable of authenticating Notes upon original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the Company wishes to have Notes authenticated upon original issuance, the Trustee, if so requested by the Company in writing (which writing need not comply with Section 1.02 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), shall appoint in accordance with this Section an Authenticating Agent having an office in a Place of Payment designated by the Company with respect to such Notes.

Section 10.06.      [Reserved].

Section 10.07.      Limitations on Incurrence of Debt and Issuance of Preferred Stock.

(a)           The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any additional Debt if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt and the application of the proceeds therefrom, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles is greater than 60% of the sum of (without duplication):

(i)            Total Assets as of the end of the fiscal quarter covered by the Company’s quarterly or annual financial statements, as the case may be, most recently delivered pursuant to Section 10.10 (such quarter, the “Latest Completed Fiscal Quarter”) prior to the incurrence of such additional Debt; and

(ii)           the purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the amount of any securities offering proceeds received (to the extent that such proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Debt), by the Company or any Subsidiary since the end of such Latest Completed Fiscal Quarter, including those proceeds obtained in connection with the incurrence of such additional Debt.

“Adjusted Total Assets” means the sum of (i) and (ii) above.

(b)           The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any additional Secured Debt if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Secured Debt and the application of the proceeds therefrom, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Secured Debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles is greater than 50% of Adjusted Total Assets.

(c)           The Company will not, and will not permit any Subsidiary to, incur any additional Debt if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such additional Debt and on a pro forma basis, including the application of the proceeds therefrom, the ratio of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to Annual Debt Service for the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date on which such additional Debt is to be incurred is less than 1.25 to 1.0, and calculated on the assumptions that:

(i)            such Debt and any other Debt incurred by the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis since the first day of such four-quarter period and the application of the proceeds therefrom, including to refinance other Debt, had occurred at the beginning of such period;

(ii)           the repayment, retirement or other discharge of any other Debt by the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis since the first day of such four-quarter period had occurred at the beginning of such period (except that, in making such computation, the amount of Debt under any revolving credit facility shall be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Debt during such period);

(iii)          in the case of Acquired Debt or Debt incurred in connection with or in contemplation of any acquisition, including any Person becoming a Subsidiary, since the first day of such four-quarter period, the related acquisition had occurred as of the first day of such period with appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition being included in such pro forma calculation; and

(iv)          in the case of any acquisition or disposition by the Company and its Subsidiaries on a consolidated basis of any asset or group of assets since the first day of such four-quarter period, whether by merger, stock purchase or sale, or asset purchase or sale, such acquisition or disposition or any related repayment of Debt had occurred as of the first day of such period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition or disposition being included in such pro forma calculation.

If the Debt giving rise to the need to make the foregoing calculation or any other Debt incurred after the first day of the relevant four-quarter period bears interest at a floating interest rate, then, for purposes of calculating the Annual Debt Service, the interest rate on such Debt shall be computed on a pro forma basis as if the average interest rate which would have been in effect during the entirety of such four-quarter period had been the applicable rate for the entirety of such period.

(d)           The Company will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor or any Subsidiary of a Subsidiary Guarantor to incur any Funded Debt or issue any shares of Disqualified Stock or Preferred Stock; provided that the foregoing limitations shall not apply to (x) any Permitted Senior Debt or any Debt secured by Permitted Pari Passu Liens, the maturity date (or mandatory redemption date on such Preferred Stock, if applicable) of which is not less than 180 days after the Stated Maturity of the Notes (the “Inside Maturity Limitation”), (y) any Debt secured by Permitted Junior Liens, Unsecured Debt and/or Preferred Stock, subject to the Inside Maturity Limitation.

(e)           Notwithstanding the limitations contained in paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (d) of this Section 10.07, the Company and its Subsidiaries may incur:

(i)            Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness;

(vi)          Debt with respect to the New Intermediate Holdco 2029 Secured Notes and any guarantee thereof;

(vii)         Debt of Office Properties Income Intermediate Holdco II Trust (or any successor thereto) or any of its Subsidiaries permitted to be incurred under the indenture governing the New Intermediate Holdco 2029 Secured Notes;

(viii)        Debt of any Subsidiary that (x) is not otherwise issued or guaranteed by the Company or any other Subsidiary, and (y) if secured is secured solely by Property held by such Subsidiary; and

(ix)          Debt incurred under any CMBS Facility so long as the net cash proceeds of such Debt are substantially applied to redeem an aggregate principal amount of Notes (together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon) equal to such net cash proceeds (“Permitted CMBS Debt”).

(i)            the Company (or the Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be) receives consideration (including by way of relief from or by any other Person assuming responsibility for, any liabilities, contingent or otherwise) at the time of the Collateral Asset Sale at least equal to the Fair Market Value (determined on the date of contractually agreeing to such sale) of the assets or properties issued or sold or otherwise disposed of; and

(ii)           at least 75% of the consideration received in the Collateral Asset Sale by the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents.

(b)           Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from a Collateral Asset Sale or an Event of Loss, the Company may apply an amount equal to the Net Proceeds from such Collateral Asset Sale or Event of Loss:

(i)            to prepay, repay, redeem or purchase the Notes or other Debt of the Company that ranks pari passu in right of payment with the Notes (“Pari Passu Debt”) (provided, that in the case of any prepayment, repayment, redemption or purchase of Pari Passu Debt, the Company shall equally and ratably reduce Notes via the redemption mechanics in Section 11.01, through open market purchases (to the extent such purchases are at a purchase price at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if applicable), or by making an offer to all Holders to purchase their Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, it being understood that if such offer is made, the offer amount will be deemed to have been applied in compliance with this Section 10.11(b), regardless of whether such offer is accepted;

(ii)           to acquire all or substantially all of the assets of a Person, or a majority of the voting stock of such Person (provided, that such assets or voting stock, as the case may be, become Collateral, and such Person, to the extent if becomes a Subsidiary of the Company becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor);

(vi)          a combination of any of the foregoing;

provided, that a binding commitment to apply any Net Proceeds from a Collateral Asset Sale as set forth in clauses (ii) or (iii) of this Section 10.11(b) shall be treated as a permitted application of such Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Company enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days of the end of such 365-day period (an “Acceptable Commitment”); provided further, that if any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled or terminated for any reason before such funds are so applied or to the extent such funds are not so applied within such 180-days, then, to the extent the 365-day period referred to in the first sentence of this clause (b) has lapsed, such unapplied amount shall constitute Excess Proceeds (as defined below).

(c)           If the amount of Net Proceeds received from Collateral Asset Sales exceeds the amount invested, expended or applied as provided and within the time periods set forth in Section 10.11(b), such excess amount will be deemed to constitute “Excess Proceeds.” No later than the 20th Business Day following the date on which the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $20.0 million, the Company shall make an offer to all Holders of Notes, and, if required by the terms of any Pari Passu Debt, to the holders of any such Pari Passu Debt (an “Asset Sale Offer”), to purchase the maximum aggregate principal amount of the Notes and such Pari Passu Debt (subject to any applicable authorized denomination) that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds at an offer price in cash in an amount equal to 100% (or such equal or lower price as may be required by the agreements governing such Pari Passu Debt) of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date fixed for the closing of such offer, in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Indenture and, in the case of Pari Passu Debt in accordance with the agreements governing such Pari Passu Debt.

(d)           To the extent that the aggregate amount of Notes and Pari Passu Debt tendered pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer is less than the Excess Proceeds, the Company may use any remaining Excess Proceeds for general corporate purposes, subject to other covenants contained in this Indenture. If the aggregate principal amount of Notes and Pari Passu Debt tendered by such holders thereof exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Trustee shall select the Notes and the agent for such Pari Passu Debt, as applicable, shall select such Pari Passu Debt to be purchased by lot, pro rata or by any other method customarily authorized by clearing systems (so long as an authorized denomination results therefrom) based on the accreted value or principal amount of the Notes or such Pari Passu Debt tendered. Additionally, the Company may, at its option, make an Asset Sale Offer using funds in an amount equal to the amount of Net Proceeds from any Collateral Asset Sale at any time after consummation of such Collateral Asset Sale; provided that such Asset Sale Offer shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $10.0 million. Upon completion of any Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds shall be reset at zero.

(ii)           any securities received by the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor into cash or Cash Equivalents (to the extent of the cash or Cash Equivalents received) within 180 days following the closing of the applicable Collateral Asset Sale.

(g)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be required to apply the Net Proceeds from any Collateral Asset Sale or Event of Loss with respect to any Second Lien Collateral pursuant to the provisions of this Section 10.11 in the event, and solely to the extent, that any Permitted Senior Debt secured by such Second Lien Collateral (x) requires the proceeds from such Collateral Asset Sale or Event of Loss to be applied to any such Permitted Senior Debt or (y) is voluntarily redeemed, repurchased, realized or otherwise repaid or prepaid with the proceeds of such Collateral Asset Sale or Event of Loss; provided, however, that, after giving effect to any such application, redemption, repurchase, or payment, any remaining Net Proceeds shall be applied pursuant to this Section 10.11.

Subject to this Article Twelve, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly, severally and unconditionally guarantees, on a secured basis, to each Holder of Notes authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes or the obligations of the Company under this Indenture or the Notes, that:

(a) the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Notes shall be promptly paid in full when due, whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption or repurchase, by acceleration or otherwise, and all obligations of the Company to Holders of the Notes or the Trustee under this Indenture or the Notes shall be promptly paid in full or promptly performed, as the case may be, all in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Notes; and (b) in case of any extension of time of payment or renewal of any Notes or any of such other obligations, that same shall be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at Stated Maturity, upon redemption or repurchase, by acceleration or otherwise. Failing payment when due of any amount so guaranteed or failing performance of any other obligation so guaranteed for whatever reason, each Subsidiary Guarantor shall be obligated to pay, or to perform or cause the performance of, the same immediately. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that this is a guarantee of payment and not a guarantee of collection.

Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Notes or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Notes with respect to any provisions of this Indenture or the Notes, the release of any other Subsidiary Guarantor, the recovery of any judgment against the Company, any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a Subsidiary Guarantor. Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby waives, to the extent permitted by applicable law, diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever and covenant that this Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be discharged except by complete performance of the obligations contained in the Notes and this Indenture.

Unless and until released with respect to any Subsidiary Guarantor in accordance with Section 12.04 of this Indenture, this Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to be effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation or reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment for the benefit of creditors or should a custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official be appointed for all or any part of the Company’s assets. If any Holder of the Notes or the Trustee is required by any court or governmental authority or is otherwise required to return to the Company, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any custodian, trustee, liquidator or other similar official acting in relation to the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, any amount paid by the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor to the Trustee or such Holder, the Notes and this Subsidiary Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full force and effect. Each Subsidiary Guarantor further agrees (to the fullest extent permitted by law) that, as between it, on the one hand, and the Holders of the Notes and the Trustee, on the other, (a) subject to this Article Twelve, the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be accelerated as provided in Article Five of this Indenture, for the purposes of this Subsidiary Guarantee, notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (b) in the event of any acceleration of such obligations as provided in such Article Five, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Subsidiary Guarantors for the purpose of this Subsidiary Guarantee.

Section 12.02.      Limitation on Subsidiary Guarantor Liability.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor, and by its acceptance of Notes, each Holder of the Notes, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar Federal or state law to the extent applicable to any Subsidiary Guarantee. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Trustee, the Holders of the Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee and this Indenture will be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Subsidiary Guarantor that are relevant under such laws, and after giving effect to any collections from, rights to receive contribution from or payments made by or on behalf of any other Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee and this Indenture, result in the obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee and this Indenture not constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under such laws. Each Subsidiary Guarantor that makes a payment under its Subsidiary Guarantee is entitled to a contribution from each other Subsidiary Guarantor in a pro rata amount based on the adjusted net assets of each Subsidiary Guarantor, so long as the exercise of such right does not impair the rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Subsidiary Guarantee.

Section 12.03.      Execution and Delivery of Subsidiary Guarantee.

To evidence its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 12.01 of this Indenture, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that this Indenture or a supplemental indenture substantially in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto entered into by such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, shall be executed on behalf of such Subsidiary Guarantor by an officer or other authorized signatory of such Subsidiary Guarantor.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 12.01 of this Indenture shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the absence of the endorsement of any notation of such Subsidiary Guarantee on the Notes.

If an officer or other authorized signatory of any Subsidiary Guarantor whose signature is on this Indenture or a supplemental indenture entered into by such Subsidiary Guarantor, as the case may be, no longer holds that office or is no longer such an authorized signatory at the time the Trustee authenticates any Note, the Subsidiary Guarantee of such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be valid nevertheless with respect to such Note.

The delivery of any Note by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on behalf of the Subsidiary Guarantors.

Section 12.04.      Release of a Subsidiary Guarantor.

The Subsidiary Guarantee of a Subsidiary Guarantor will automatically terminate and be released, all other obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture will automatically terminate and such Subsidiary Guarantor will be automatically released from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee and its other obligations under this Indenture:

(a)           in the event of a sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Subsidiary, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the provisions of Article Eight of this Indenture;

(b)           in the event of a sale or other disposition (including through merger or consolidation) of Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) the Company or a Subsidiary and such Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of the sale or other disposition, if the sale or other disposition does not violate the provisions of Section 10.11 of this Indenture;

(c)           upon the satisfaction and discharge, Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance of the Notes in accordance with Article Four or Article Thirteen of this Indenture;

(d)           upon the liquidation or dissolution of such Subsidiary Guarantor, provided (i) no default under this Indenture or Event of Default has occurred that is continuing; and (ii) any First Lien Collateral or Second Lien Collateral owned by such Subsidiary Guarantor is transferred to the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor and pledged under the Security Documents;

(e)           upon the merger of such Subsidiary Guarantor into, or the consolidation of such Subsidiary Guarantor with the Company or another Subsidiary Guarantor;

(f)           upon the sale, transfer or other disposition, or First Lien Collateral Property Release or Credit Facility Property Release, as applicable, of all of the First Lien Collateral Properties and Credit Facility Properties, in any case, that are owned directly or indirectly by such Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to or in compliance with the terms of this Indenture; or

(g)           in the event such Subsidiary Guarantor is designated a CMBS Subsidiary in connection with any Permitted CMBS Debt.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Subsidiary Guarantee of any Subsidiary Guarantor shall automatically terminate and be released, all other obligations of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture shall automatically terminate and such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be automatically released from its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee and its other obligations under this Indenture, pursuant to the terms of any applicable Intercreditor Agreement.

At the request of the Company, and upon delivery to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that all conditions provided for in this Indenture to the release of a Subsidiary Guarantor from its Subsidiary Guarantee have been complied with (provided that the legal counsel delivering such Opinion of Counsel may rely as to matters of fact on one or more Officer’s Certificates of the Company), the Trustee shall execute and deliver any appropriate instruments evidencing such release (it being understood that the failure to obtain any such instrument shall not impair any release pursuant to this Section 12.04).

Section 12.05.      Benefits Acknowledged.

Each Subsidiary Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Indenture and that the guarantee and waivers made by it pursuant to its Subsidiary Guarantee are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

Section 12.06.      Waiver of Subrogation.

Until all of the Notes are discharged and paid in full, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives and agrees not to exercise any claim or other rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Company’s obligations under the Notes or this Indenture and such Subsidiary Guarantor’s obligations under this Subsidiary Guarantee and this Indenture, in any such instance including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification, and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Holders of the Notes against the Company, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from the Company, directly or indirectly, in cash or other assets or by set off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to any Subsidiary Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and any amounts owing to the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes under the Notes or this Indenture, shall not have been paid in full, such amount shall have been deemed to have been paid to such Subsidiary Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for the benefit of, the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes and shall forthwith be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of itself or such Holders to be credited and applied to the obligations in favor of the Trustee or such Holders, as the case may be, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture.

Section 12.07.      Same Currency; No Set Off.

Each payment to be made by a Subsidiary Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee shall be payable in the currency in which corresponding payment obligations of the Company under the Notes or this Indenture are denominated, and shall be made without set off, counterclaim, reduction or diminution of any kind or nature.

Section 12.08.      Guarantee Obligations Continuing.

The obligations of each Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture shall be continuing and shall remain in full force and effect until all such obligations have been paid and satisfied in full. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees with the Trustee that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, it will from time to time deliver to the Trustee suitable acknowledgments of this continued liability in such form as counsel to the Trustee may reasonably request and as will prevent any action brought against it in respect of any default under this Indenture being barred by any statute of limitations now or hereafter in force and, in the event of the failure of a Subsidiary Guarantor so to do, it hereby irrevocably appoints the Trustee the attorney and agent of such Subsidiary Guarantor to make, execute and deliver such written acknowledgment or acknowledgments or other instruments as may from time to time become necessary or reasonably advisable, in the judgment of the Trustee on the advice of counsel, to fully maintain and keep in force the liability of such Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture.

Section 12.09.      No Merger or Waiver; Cumulative Remedies.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no Subsidiary Guarantee shall operate by way of merger of any of the obligations of a Subsidiary Guarantor under any other agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Trustee or the Holders of the Notes, any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Indenture or the Notes, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder or under this Indenture or the Notes preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the rights, remedies, powers and privileges in this Indenture, the Notes and any other document or instrument between a Subsidiary Guarantor and/or the Company and the Trustee and the Holders of the Notes are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and privilege provided by law.

Section 12.10.      Dealing with the Company and Others.

The Holders and the Trustee, without releasing, discharging, limiting or otherwise affecting in whole or in part the obligations and liabilities of any Subsidiary Guarantor under this Indenture and without the consent of or notice to any Subsidiary Guarantor, may to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law:

(a)           grant time, renewals, extensions, compromises, concessions, waivers, releases, discharges and other indulgences to the Company or any other Person;

(b)           take or abstain from taking security or collateral from the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors or from perfecting security or collateral of the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors;

(d)           accept compromises or arrangements from the Company;

(e)           apply all monies at any time received from the Company or from any security upon such part of the obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors under Section 12.01 of this Indenture as the Holders may see fit or change any such application in whole or in part from time to time as the Holders may see fit; and

(f)           otherwise deal with, or waive or modify their right to deal with, the Company and all other Persons and any security as the Holders or the Trustee may see fit.

Section 12.11.      Enforcement; Expenses.

If any Subsidiary Guarantor defaults in performing any of its obligations under this Indenture, the Trustee may proceed in its name as trustee under this Indenture in the enforcement of such obligations against such Subsidiary Guarantor by any remedy provided by law, whether by legal proceedings or otherwise. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors, jointly and severally, agree to pay all costs, fees and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of legal counsel) incurred by the Trustee, any Holder of the Notes, or the agent, advisor or counsel of the Trustee or any Holder, in enforcing the performance by any Subsidiary Guarantor of its obligations under this Indenture.

For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Notes and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Notes and this Indenture insofar as such Notes are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following, which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of such Notes to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 13.04 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any premium and interest, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due, (b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Notes under Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 10.02 and 10.03, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (d) this Article.

For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to such Notes, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section or Article, whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or Article or by reason of any reference in any such Section or Article to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby.

Section 13.04.      Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance

The following shall be the conditions to the application of either a Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as applicable, to the Notes, as the case may be:

As used herein, “Government Obligations” means, with respect to the Notes, securities that are (x) direct obligations of the government that issued the currency in which such Note is denominated (or, if such Note is denominated in euros, the direct obligations of any government that is a member of the European Monetary Union) for the payment of which such government’s full faith and credit is pledged or (y) obligations of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of such government the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by such government, which, in either case, are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof and shall also include a depositary receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act) as custodian with respect to any Government Obligation where the relevant government is the United States of America or a specific payment of principal of or interest on any such Government Obligation held by such custodian for the account of the holder of such depositary receipt, provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of such Government Obligation or the specific payment of principal of or interest on such Government Obligation evidenced by such depository receipt.

(b)           In the event of an election to have a Defeasance apply to the Notes, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case (i) or (ii) to the effect that the Holders of the Outstanding Notes will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, Defeasance and discharge and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge had not occurred.

(c)           In the event of an election to have a Covenant Defeasance apply to the Notes, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of the Outstanding Notes will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance had not occurred.

(d)           No Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit (other than an Event of Default resulting from transactions occurring contemporaneously with the borrowing of funds, or the borrowing of funds, to be applied to such deposit or other indebtedness which is being repaid, repurchased, redeemed, defeased (whether legal or covenant defeasance) or discharged, and, in each case, the granting of liens in connection therewith).

(e)           Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture or any agreement or instrument governing any other indebtedness which is being repaid, repurchased, redeemed, defeased (whether legal or covenant defeasance) or discharged) to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound.

(f)           The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been satisfied.

The Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will be effective on the day on which all of the applicable conditions above have been satisfied.

Upon satisfaction of such conditions, the Trustee shall, upon written request, execute proper instrument(s) acknowledging such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be.

Section 13.05.      Deposited Money and Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous Provisions

Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all money and Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section and Section 13.06, the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to collectively, for purposes of this Section 13.05, as the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 13.04 in respect of any Notes shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Notes, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and premium (if any) and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 13.04 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Notes.

Anything in this Article Thirteen to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 13.04 hereof which, in the opinion or based on a report or certificate of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, investment bank or appraisal firm expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be.

Section 13.06.      Reinstatement

If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section 13.02 or 13.03 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article Thirteen until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 13.02 or 13.03; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of (and premium, if any), and any interest on, any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of the Notes to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent.

ARTICLE Fourteen

COLLATERAL AND SECURITY

Section 14.01.      The Collateral Agent.

(a)           By accepting a Note, each Holder will be deemed to have irrevocably appointed the Collateral Agent to act as collateral agent under the applicable Security Documents and any Intercreditor Agreement and irrevocably authorized the Collateral Agent to (i) perform the duties and exercise the rights and powers that are specifically given to it under the Security Documents, any Intercreditor Agreement and any other documents to which it is a party, together with any other incidental rights and powers, and (ii) execute each document to be executed by the Collateral Agent on its behalf, any Security Document, any Intercreditor Agreement and all other instruments relating to any such Security Document or Intercreditor Agreement. The Holders may not, individually or collectively, take any direct action to enforce the Security Documents or Intercreditor Agreements. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Indenture or the Security Documents, the duties of the Collateral Agent shall be ministerial and administrative in nature, and the Collateral Agent will have no duties or obligations with respect to the Collateral except those expressly set forth hereunder or in the applicable Security Documents and Intercreditor Agreements and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, or obligations shall be read into such documents against the Collateral Agent or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent will not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The Collateral Agent will be entitled to rely upon, and will not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing believed by it in good faith to be genuine and to have been signed or sent by the proper person. The Collateral Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Company), independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and will not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Collateral Agent:

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

(ii)           shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary powers and shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose the Collateral Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Security Document, Intercreditor Agreement or applicable law;

(iii)          shall not have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to the Company or any Affiliate if the Company that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as a Collateral Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity;

(iv)          shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision) or (ii) in reliance on an Officer’s Certificate of the Company stating that such action is permitted by the terms of this Indenture. The Collateral Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Event of Default hereunder unless and until written notice describing such Event of Default is received by such Collateral Agent from the Trustee or the Company; and

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

The use of the term “agent” herein with reference to a Collateral Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law other than as a “representative” as such term is used in Section 9-102(a)(72)(E) of the UCC.

BY ACCEPTING A NOTE EACH HOLDER WILL BE DEEMED TO HAVE IRREVOCABLY AGREED TO THE FOREGOING PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION 14.01(a) AND SHALL BE BOUND BY THOSE AGREEMENTS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

(b)           The Collateral Agent shall be subject to such directions as may be properly given in accordance with this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements. Except as expressly required by this Indenture, the Security Documents and the Intercreditor Agreements or otherwise in compliance with the prior sentence, the Collateral Agent shall not be obligated:

(i)            to act upon directions purported to be delivered to it by any other Person;

(ii)           to foreclose upon or otherwise enforce any Lien securing the Notes or any of the Guarantees; or

(c)           The Collateral Agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through, and is authorized and empowered to appoint, one or more co-agents or sub-agents or attorneys-in-fact as it deems necessary or appropriate in connection herewith and shall not be liable for the negligence or misconduct of any such agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it in good faith.

(d)           Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Collateral Agent as provided below, the Collateral Agent may resign at any time by notifying the Company and the Trustee. Upon any such resignation, the Company shall have the right to appoint a successor; provided that, during the existence and continuation of an Event of Default pursuant to clause Section 5.01(a), (b), (e) or (f) hereof, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes shall have the right to appoint a successor. If no successor shall have been so appointed by the Company (or, if applicable, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Notes) and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Collateral Agent gives notice of its resignation, then such retiring Collateral Agent may, on behalf of the Holders and the Trustee, petition at the expense of the Company a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Collateral Agent. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as a Collateral Agent hereunder by a successor, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Collateral Agent, and the retiring Collateral Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. The fees payable by the Company to a successor Collateral Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Company and such successor. After a Collateral Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article Fourteen and Article Six hereof shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Collateral Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Affiliates in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while acting as Collateral Agent.

(e)           The benefits, protections and indemnities of the Trustee in Sections 6.03 and 6.07 hereof shall apply mutatis mutandi to the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such, including, without limitation, the rights to receive and rely on Officer’s Certificates and Opinions of Counsel, reimbursement and indemnification; provided that the applicable standard of care of the Collateral Agent with respect to Sections 6.03 and 6.07 hereof shall be gross negligence or willful misconduct. For the avoidance of doubt, the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Collateral Agent hereunder, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified prior to taking action, shall survive the satisfaction, discharge or termination of this Indenture or its earlier termination, resignation or removal of the Collateral Agent, in such capacity.

(f)           Each Holder, by its acceptance of any Notes, is deemed to have consented and agreed to the terms of each Security Document and Intercreditor Agreement, as originally in effect and as amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time in accordance with its terms or the terms of this Indenture; and authorizes, empowers and directs the Collateral Agent to (i) enter into the Security Documents (including, without limitation, the Intercreditor Agreements, whether executed on or after the Issue Date, and perform its obligations and exercise its rights, powers and discretions under the Security Documents in accordance therewith, (ii) make the representations of the Holders set forth in the Security Documents (including, without limitation, the Intercreditor Agreements), and (iii) bind the Holders as set forth in the applicable Security Documents and Intercreditor Agreements, if any, to which they are a party and to perform its obligations and exercise its rights and powers thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such consent or deemed consent shall be deemed or construed to represent an amendment or waiver, in whole or in part, of any provision of this Indenture or the Notes.

(g)           Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Company or any grantor to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral.

(h)           Beyond the exercise of reasonable care in the custody thereof, neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall have any duty as to any Collateral in its possession or control or in the possession or control of any agent or bailee or any income thereon or as to preservation of rights against prior parties or any other rights pertaining thereto and neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for filing any financing or continuation statements or recording any documents or instruments in any public office at any time or times or otherwise perfecting or maintaining the perfection of any security interest in the Collateral. Each of the Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody of the Collateral in its possession if the Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property and shall not be liable or responsible for any loss or diminution in the value of any of the Collateral, by reason of the act or omission of any carrier, forwarding agency or other agent or bailee selected by the Trustee or the Collateral Agent in good faith.

(i)            Neither the Trustee nor the Collateral Agent shall be responsible for the existence, genuineness or value of any of the Collateral or for the validity, perfection, priority or enforceability of the Liens in any of the Collateral, whether impaired by operation of law or by reason of any action or omission to act on its part hereunder, for the validity or sufficiency of the Collateral or any agreement or assignment contained therein, for the validity of the title of the Company to the Collateral, for insuring the Collateral or for the payment of taxes, charges, assessments or Liens upon the Collateral or otherwise as to the maintenance of the Collateral. The Trustee and the Collateral Agent shall have no duty to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms of this Indenture, the Security Documents or the Intercreditor Agreements by the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantors.

(j)            Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall have any duties or obligations hereunder or under any Security Document or Intercreditor Agreement except those expressly set forth herein or therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Collateral Agent or the Trustee is required to acquire title to an asset for any reason, or take any managerial action of any kind in regard thereto, in order to carry out any fiduciary or trust obligation for the benefit of another, which in the Collateral Agent’s or the Trustee’s sole discretion may cause it to be considered an “owner or operator” under the provisions of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (“CERCLA”), 42 U.S.C. §9601, et seq., or otherwise cause it to incur liability under CERCLA or any other federal, state or local law, the Collateral Agent and the Trustee each reserve the right, instead of taking such action, to either resign or arrange for the transfer of the title or control of the asset to a court-appointed receiver. Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall be liable to any person for any environmental claims or contribution actions under any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation by reason of the Collateral Agent’s actions and conduct as authorized, empowered and directed hereunder or relating to the discharge, release or threatened release of hazardous materials into the environment. If at any time it is necessary or advisable for the Collateral to be possessed, owned, operated or managed by any person other than the grantor, the majority of the Holders shall direct the Collateral Agent or Trustee, as applicable, to appoint an appropriately qualified person who they shall designate to possess, own, operate or manage, as the case may be, the Collateral.

(o)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Indenture, the Intercreditor Agreements or the Security Documents, in the event the Collateral Agent is entitled or required to commence an action to foreclose or otherwise exercise its remedies to acquire control or possession of the Collateral, the Collateral Agent shall not be required to commence any such action or exercise any remedy or to inspect or conduct any studies of any property under the mortgages or take any such other action if the Collateral Agent has determined that the Collateral Agent may incur personal liability as a result of the presence at, or release on or from, the Collateral or such property, of any hazardous substances. The Collateral Agent shall at any time be entitled to cease taking any action described in this clause if it no longer reasonably deems any indemnity, security or undertaking from the Company or the Holders to be sufficient.

(q)           In no event shall the Collateral Agent be required to execute and deliver any landlord lien waiver, estoppel or collateral access letter, or any account control agreement or any instruction or direction letter delivered in connection with such document that the Collateral Agent determines adversely affects it or otherwise subjects it to personal liability, including without limitation agreements to indemnify any contractual counterparty; provided that, nothing in this clause (q) shall be implied as imposing any such obligation on the Company or any Guarantor to obtain any such landlord lien waiver, estoppel or collateral access letter, or any account control agreement.

(r)           Neither the Collateral Agent nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility or liability for the actions or omissions of any other party to the Note Documents, nor shall the Trustee or Collateral Agent be obligated at any time to indemnify any person in connection with the exercise of any remedy under the Note Documents.

(s)           Upon the receipt by the Collateral Agent of a written request of the Company signed by a Responsible Officer (a “Security Document Order”), the Collateral Agent is hereby authorized to execute and enter into, and shall execute and enter into, without the further consent of any Holder or the Trustee, any Security Document or Intercreditor Agreement, to be executed after the Issue Date. Such Security Document Order shall (i) state that it is being delivered to the Collateral Agent pursuant to, and is a Security Document Order referred to in, this Section 14.01(s), and (ii) instruct the Collateral Agent to execute and enter into such Security Document or Intercreditor Agreement. Any such execution of a Security Document or Intercreditor Agreement shall be at the direction and expense of the Company. The Holders, by their acceptance of the Notes, hereby authorize and direct the Collateral Agent to execute such Security Documents.
