Within the limits of each Lender’s Unused Revolving Credit Commitment in effect from time to time and prior to the Termination Date, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(a), prepay pursuant to Section 2.06(a) and reborrow under this Section 2.01(a).

(b) Letters of Credit. Each Issuing Bank severally agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to issue (or cause its Affiliate that is a commercial bank to issue on its behalf) letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”), for the account of the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until 30 days before the

Termination Date in an aggregate Available Amount (i) for all Letters of Credit not to exceed at any time the Letter of Credit Facility at such time, (ii) for all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank not to exceed such Issuing Bank’s Letter of Credit Commitment at such time, and (iii) for each such Letter of Credit not to exceed the Unused Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders at such time. No Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date (including all rights of the Borrower or the beneficiary to require renewal) later than the earlier of 30 days before the Termination Date (provided such Letter of Credit may have an expiration date after the date that is 30 days before the Termination Date, but not after the Termination Date, so long as such Letter of Credit obligates the Borrower to Cash Collateralize such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.03(e)) and (A) in the case of a Standby Letter of Credit one year after the date of issuance thereof, but may by its terms be renewable annually upon notice (a “Notice of Renewal”) given to the Issuing Bank that issued such Standby Letter of Credit and the Administrative Agent on or prior to any date for notice of renewal set forth in such Letter of Credit but in any event at least three Business Days prior to the date of the proposed renewal of such Standby Letter of Credit and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III unless such Issuing Bank has notified the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) on or prior to the date for notice of termination set forth in such Letter of Credit but in any event at least 30 Business Days prior to the date of automatic renewal of its election not to renew such Standby Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Termination”) and (B) in the case of a Trade Letter of Credit, 180 days after the date of issuance thereof; provided, however, that the terms of each Standby Letter of Credit that is automatically renewable annually shall (x) require the Issuing Bank that issued such Standby Letter of Credit to give the beneficiary named in such Standby Letter of Credit notice of any Notice of Termination, (y) permit such beneficiary, upon receipt of such notice, to draw under such Standby Letter of Credit prior to the date such Standby Letter of Credit otherwise would have been automatically renewed and (z) not permit the expiration date (after giving effect to any renewal) of such Standby Letter of Credit in any event to be extended to a date later than 30 days before the Termination Date (provided such Letter of Credit may have an expiration date after the date that is 30 days before the Termination Date, but not after the Termination Date, so long as such Letter of Credit obligates the Borrower to Cash Collateralize such Letter of Credit in accordance with Section 2.03(e)). If either a Notice of Renewal is not given by the Borrower or a Notice of Termination is given by the relevant Issuing Bank pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, such Standby Letter of Credit shall expire on the date on which it otherwise would have been automatically renewed; provided, however, that even in the absence of receipt of a Notice of Renewal the relevant Issuing Bank may in its discretion, unless instructed to the contrary by the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, deem that a Notice of Renewal had been timely delivered and in such case, a Notice of Renewal shall be deemed to have been so delivered for all purposes under this Agreement. Within the limits of the Letter of Credit Facility, and subject to the limits referred to above, the Borrower may request the issuance of Letters of Credit under this Section 2.01(b), repay any Letter of Credit Advances resulting from drawings thereunder pursuant to Section 2.04(c) and request the issuance of additional Letters of Credit under this Section 2.01(b).

(c) Swing Line Advances. The Borrower may request the Swing Line Bank to make, and the Swing Line Bank agrees to make, on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, Swing Line Advances to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the date hereof until the Termination Date (i) in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding $10,000,000 (the “Swing Line Facility”) and (ii) in an amount for each

such Swing Line Borrowing not to exceed the aggregate of the Unused Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders at such time. No Swing Line Advance shall be used for the purpose of funding the payment of principal of any other Swing Line Advance. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be in an amount of $250,000 or an integral multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof and shall be made as a Base Rate Advance. Within the limits of the Swing Line Facility and within the limits referred to in clause (ii) above, the Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(c), repay pursuant to Section 2.04(b) or prepay pursuant to Section 2.06(a) and reborrow under this Section 2.01(c).

SECTION 2.02. Making the Advances. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.03, each Borrowing (other than a Swing Line Borrowing) shall be made on notice, given not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, or not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall give to each Lender prompt notice thereof by telex or telecopier. Each such notice of a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, or telex or telecopier or e-mail, in each case in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such Borrowing and (iv) in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances, initial Interest Period for each such Advance. Each Lender shall, before 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances and 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Borrowing in the case of a Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing in accordance with the respective Commitments of such Lender and the other Lenders. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower by crediting the Borrower’s Account; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall first make a portion of such funds equal to the aggregate principal amount of any Swing Line Advances and Letter of Credit Advances made by the Swing Line Bank or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and by any other Lender and outstanding on the date of such Borrowing, plus interest accrued and unpaid thereon to and as of such date, available to the Swing Line Bank or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, and such other Lenders for repayment of such Swing Line Advances and Letter of Credit Advances.

(b) Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made on notice, given not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing, by the Borrower to the Swing Line Bank and the Administrative Agent. Each such notice of a Swing Line Borrowing (a “Notice of Swing Line Borrowing”) shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing or by telecopier or e-mail, in each case in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) amount of such Borrowing and (iii) maturity of such Borrowing (which maturity shall be no later than the earlier of (A) the fifteenth day after the requested date of such Borrowing and (B) the Termination Date). The Swing Line Bank shall, before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the date of such Swing Line Borrowing, make the amount thereof available to the Administrative Agent at the

Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds. After the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower by crediting the Borrower’s Account. Upon written demand by the Swing Line Bank, with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent, each other Lender shall purchase from the Swing Line Bank, and the Swing Line Bank shall sell and assign to each such other Lender, such other Lender’s Pro Rata Share of such outstanding Swing Line Advance as of the date of such demand, by making available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Bank, by deposit to the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, an amount equal to the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Swing Line Advance to be purchased by such Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to each such sale and assignment. Each Lender agrees to purchase its Pro Rata Share of an outstanding Swing Line Advance on (i) the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by the Swing Line Bank, provided that notice of such demand is given not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on such Business Day or (ii) the first Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given after such time. Upon any such assignment by the Swing Line Bank to any other Lender of a portion of a Swing Line Advance, the Swing Line Bank represents and warrants to such other Lender that the Swing Line Bank is the legal and beneficial owner of such interest being assigned by it, but makes no other representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to such Swing Line Advance, the Loan Documents or any Loan Party. If and to the extent that any Lender shall not have so made the amount of such Swing Line Advance available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by the Swing Line Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of the Swing Line Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Swing Line Advance made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Swing Line Advance made by the Swing Line Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day.

(c) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrower may not select Eurodollar Rate Advances for the initial Borrowing hereunder or for any Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less than $1,000,000 or if the obligation of the Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Advances shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.07(d)(ii), 2.09 or 2.10 and (ii) there may not be more than six separate Interest Periods in effect hereunder at any time.

(d) Each Notice of Borrowing and Notice of Swing Line Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to (x) the date of any Borrowing consisting of Eurodollar Rate Advances or (y) 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the date of any Borrowing consisting of Base Rate Advances that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay or pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount and to pay interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid or paid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at such time under Section 2.07 to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for all purposes.

(f) The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

SECTION 2.03. Issuance of and Drawings and Reimbursement Under Letters of Credit. (a) Request for Issuance. Each Letter of Credit shall be issued upon notice, given not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the fifth Business Day prior to the date of the proposed issuance of such Letter of Credit, by the Borrower to any Issuing Bank, which shall give to the Administrative Agent and each Lender prompt notice thereof by telex, telecopier or e mail or by means of the Approved Electronic Platform. Each such notice of issuance of a Letter of Credit (a “Notice of Issuance”) shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in writing, telex, telecopier or e-mail, in each case specifying therein the requested (i) date of such issuance (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) Available Amount of such Letter of Credit, (iii) expiration date of such Letter of Credit, (iv) name and address of the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit and (v) form of such Letter of Credit, and shall be accompanied by such application and agreement for letter of credit as such Issuing Bank may specify to the Borrower for use in connection with such requested Letter of Credit (a “Letter of Credit Agreement”). If the requested form of such Letter of Credit is acceptable to such Issuing Bank in its sole discretion, such Issuing Bank will, upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, make such Letter of Credit available to the Borrower at its office referred to in Section 9.02 or as otherwise agreed with the Borrower in connection with such issuance. In the event and to the extent that the provisions of any Letter of Credit Agreement shall conflict with this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

(b) Letter of Credit Reports. Each Issuing Bank shall furnish (i) to each Lender and the Borrower on the first Business Day of each month a written report summarizing issuance and expiration dates of Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank during the preceding month and drawings during such month under all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank and (ii) to the Administrative Agent and each Lender and the Borrower on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter a written report setting forth the average daily aggregate Available Amount during the preceding calendar quarter of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank.

(i) Immediately upon the issuance by the Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall be deemed to have sold and transferred to each Lender, and each Lender (in its capacity under this Section 2.03(c), a “Participant”) shall be deemed irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in such Letter of Credit, to the extent of such Participant’s Pro Rata Share of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit, each drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the Revolving Credit Commitments or the Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares pursuant to Section 9.07, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of Credit and unpaid drawings relating thereto, there shall be an automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reflect the new Pro Rata Shares of the assignor and assignee Lenders, as the case may be.

(ii) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall not have any obligation with respect to the other Revolving Credit Lenders other than to confirm that any documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by it shall not create for the Issuing Bank any resulting liability to the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any Revolving Credit Lender or any other Person unless such action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment).

(iii) The payment by any Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by such Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit Advance, which shall be a Base Rate Advance, in the amount of such draft. In the event that the Issuing Bank makes any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it and the Borrower shall not have reimbursed such amount in full to the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.04(c), the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank the amount of such Participant’s Pro Rata Share of such unreimbursed payment in U.S. dollars and in same day funds. Upon such notification by the Administrative Agent to any Participant required to fund a payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make available to the Administrative Agent for the account

of the Issuing Bank its Pro Rata Share of an outstanding Letter of Credit Advance on (i) the Business Day on which demand therefor is made by the Issuing Bank which made such Advance, provided that notice of such demand is given not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on such Business Day, or (ii) the first Business Day next succeeding such demand if notice of such demand is given after such time. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount for the account of such Issuing Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of principal shall constitute a Letter of Credit Advance made by such Lender on such Business Day for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Letter of Credit Advance made by such Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day. If and to the extent that any Lender shall not have so made the amount of such Letter of Credit Advance available to the Administrative Agent, such Lender agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date of demand by such Issuing Bank until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate for its account or the account of such Issuing Bank, as applicable.

(iv) Whenever the Issuing Bank receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it has received any payments from the Participants pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Issuing Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each such Participant that has paid its Pro Rata Share thereof, in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.

(d) Failure to Make Letter of Credit Advances. The failure of any Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by it on the date specified in Section 2.03(c) shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make its Letter of Credit Advance on such date, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make the Letter of Credit Advance to be made by such other Lender on such date.

(e) Cash Collateral.

(i) If the expiration date of any Letter of Credit would be later than 30 days before the Termination Date, then, any such Letter of Credit shall expressly provide, as a condition to the Issuing Bank’s issuance of such Letter of Credit, that Borrower shall be required, commencing on the date that is 30 days before the Termination Date and at all times thereafter, to Cash Collateralize such Letter of Credit by delivering to Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all L/C Termination Date Exposure. Borrower shall comply with the terms and conditions of any such Letter of Credit requiring Cash Collateralization.

(ii) All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit accounts at the Administrative Agent. The Borrower hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Issuing

Bank, and agrees to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied pursuant to Section 2.03(e). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable L/C Termination Date Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency.

(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 2.03(e) in respect of Letters of Credit shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific Available Amount of such Letters of Credit and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.

(iv) Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce L/C Termination Date Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly following (i) the elimination of the applicable L/C Termination Date Exposure or other obligations giving rise thereto or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, that the Person providing Cash Collateral and the Issuing Bank may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be released but instead held to support future anticipated L/C Termination Date Exposure or other obligations.

SECTION 2.04. Repayment of Advances. (a) Revolving Credit Advances. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account of the Lenders on the Termination Date the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances then outstanding.

(b) Swing Line Advances. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of (i) the Swing Line Bank and (ii) each other Lender that has made a Swing Line Advance by purchase from the Swing Line Bank pursuant to Section 2.02(b), the outstanding principal amount of each Swing Line Advance made by each of them on the earlier of the maturity date specified in the applicable Notice of Swing Line Borrowing (which maturity shall be no later than the fifteenth day after the requested date of such Swing Line Borrowing) and the Termination Date.

(c) Letter of Credit Advances. (i) The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Issuing Bank and each other Lender that has made a Letter of Credit Advance on the same day on which such Advance was made the outstanding principal amount of each Letter of Credit Advance made by each of them.

(ii) The Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, any Letter of Credit Agreement and any other agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit (and the obligations of each Lender to reimburse the Issuing Bank with respect thereto)

shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letter of Credit Agreement and such other agreement or instrument under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following circumstances:

(A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, any Letter of Credit Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto (all of the foregoing being, collectively, the “L/C Related Documents”);

(B) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Obligations of the Borrower in respect of any L/C Related Document or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the L/C Related Documents;

(C) the existence of any claim, set off, defense or other right that the Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter of Credit (or any Persons for which any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), any Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with the transactions contemplated by the L/C Related Documents or any unrelated transaction;

(D) any statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

(E) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit;

(F) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from the Guaranties or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of the Borrower in respect of the L/C Related Documents; or

(G) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or a guarantor.

SECTION 2.05. Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate in whole or reduce in part the unused portions of the Swing Line Facility, the Letter of Credit Facility and the Unused Revolving Credit Commitments; provided, however, that each partial reduction of a Facility (i) shall be in an aggregate amount of $1,000,000 (or, in the case of the Swing Line Facility, $250,000) or an integral multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof and (ii) shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments with respect to such Facility.

(b) Mandatory. (i) The Letter of Credit Facility shall be permanently reduced from time to time on the date of each reduction in the Revolving Credit Facility by the amount, if any, by which the amount of the Letter of Credit Facility exceeds the Revolving Credit Facility after giving effect to such reduction of the Revolving Credit Facility.

(ii) The Swing Line Facility shall be permanently reduced from time to time on the date of each reduction in the Revolving Credit Facility by the amount, if any, by which the amount of the Swing Line Facility exceeds the Revolving Credit Facility after giving effect to such reduction of the Revolving Credit Facility.

SECTION 2.06. Prepayments. (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon same day notice in the case of Base Rate Advances and two Business Days’ notice in the case of Eurodollar Rate Advances, in each case to the Administrative Agent stating the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in whole or ratably in part, together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the aggregate principal amount prepaid; provided, however, that (i) each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000 or an integral multiple of $250,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the amount of the Advances outstanding and (ii) if any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance is made on a date other than the last day of an Interest Period for such Advance, the Borrower shall also pay any amounts owing pursuant to Section 9.04(c).

(b) Mandatory. (i) The Borrower shall, on each Business Day, prepay an aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances comprising part of the same Borrowings, the Swing Line Advances and the Letter of Credit Advances and, to the extent all Advances have been prepaid, make a deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account in an amount sufficient to cause (A) the Facility Exposure not to exceed the lesser of the Revolving Credit Facility and the Total Borrowing Base Value on such Business Day, (B) the Leverage Ratio not to exceed the applicable maximum Leverage Ratio set forth in Section 5.04(a)(i) on such Business Day, and (C) the Facility Exposure not to exceed the Total Borrowing Base Value as set forth in Section 5.04(b)(i) on such Business Day.

(ii) The Borrower shall, on each Business Day, pay to the Administrative Agent for deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account an amount sufficient to cause the aggregate amount on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account to equal the amount by which the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding exceeds the Letter of Credit Facility on such Business Day. To the extent the funds on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account shall at any time exceed the total amount required to be deposited therein pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall, promptly upon request by the Borrower and provided that no Default or Event of Default shall then have occurred or be continuing or would result therefrom, return such excess amount to the Borrower.

(iii) Prepayments of the Revolving Credit Facility made pursuant to clause (i) above shall be first applied to prepay Letter of Credit Advances then outstanding until such Advances are paid in full, second applied to prepay Swing Line Advances then

outstanding until such Advances are paid in full, third applied to prepay Revolving Credit Advances then outstanding comprising part of the same Borrowings until such Advances are paid in full and fourth deposited in the L/C Cash Collateral Account to cash collateralize 100% of the Available Amount of the Letters of Credit then outstanding. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which funds are on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account, such funds shall be applied to reimburse the relevant Issuing Bank or Lenders, as applicable.

(iv) All prepayments under this subsection (b) shall be made together with accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid.

SECTION 2.07. Interest. (a) Scheduled Interest. The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

(i) Base Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of (A) the Base Rate in effect from time to time plus (B) the Applicable Margin in respect of Base Rate Advances in effect from time to time, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December during such periods and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

During such periods as such Advance is a Eurodollar Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for such Advance to the sum of (A) the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period for such Advance plus (B) the Applicable Margin in respect of Eurodollar Rate Advances in effect on the first day of such Interest Period, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and, if such Interest Period has a duration of more than three months, on each day that occurs during such Interest Period every three months from the first day of such Interest Period and on the date such Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

(b) Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay interest on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Advance pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, the amount of any interest, fee or other amount payable under the Loan Documents that is not paid when due, from the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 2% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid, in the case of interest, on the Type of Advance on which such interest has accrued pursuant to clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above and, in all other cases, on Base Rate Advances pursuant to clause (a)(i) above.

(c) Notice of Interest Period and Interest Rate. Each continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be made upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice received by the

Administrative Agent, which may be given by telephone, including a specification of the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) three Business Days prior to the first day of the subsequent Interest Period for the continuation of such Eurodollar Rate Advance. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.07(c) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(a), a notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 2.09, a notice of continuation of a Eurodollar Rate Advance pursuant to this subsection (c) or a notice of selection of an Interest Period pursuant to the definition of “Interest Period”, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and each Lender of the applicable Interest Period and the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative Agent for purposes of clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above, and the applicable rate, if any, furnished by each Reference Bank for the purpose of determining the applicable interest rate under clause (a)(ii) above.

(d) Interest Rate Determination. (i) The Reference Bank agrees to furnish to the Administrative Agent timely information for the purpose of determining each Eurodollar Rate. If the Reference Bank shall not furnish such timely information to the Administrative Agent for the purpose of determining any such interest rate, the Administrative Agent shall determine such interest rate on the basis of timely information obtained by the Administrative Agent in its sole reasonable discretion.

(ii) If the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or a successor page) is unavailable and the Administrative Agent is unable to determine the Eurodollar Rate for any Eurodollar Rate Advances,

(A) the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the interest rate cannot be determined for such Eurodollar Rate Advances,

(B) each such Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance (or if such Advance is then a Base Rate Advance, will continue as a Base Rate Advance), and

(C) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

SECTION 2.08. Fees. (a) Unused Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders an unused commitment fee (the “Unused Fee”), from the date hereof in the case of each Initial Lender and from the effective date specified in the Assignment and Acceptance or the Accession Agreement, as the case may be, pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender until the Termination Date, payable in arrears quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December,

commencing September 30, 2010, and on the Termination Date. The Unused Fee payable for the account of each Lender shall be calculated for each period for which the Unused Fee is payable on the average daily Unused Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender during such period at the rate of 0.40% per annum.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees, Etc. (i) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender a commission, payable in arrears, (a) quarterly on the last day of each March, June, September and December commencing September 30, 2010, (b) on the earliest to occur of the full drawing, expiration, termination or cancellation of any Letter of Credit, and (c) on the Termination Date, on such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the average daily aggregate Available Amount during such quarter of all Letters of Credit outstanding from time to time for the applicable period at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for Eurodollar Rate Advances in effect from time to time.

(ii) The Borrower shall pay to each Issuing Bank, for its own account, (A) a fronting fee for each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank in an amount equal to 0.125% of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit on the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit, payable on such date and (B) such other commissions, issuance fees, transfer fees and other fees and charges in connection with the issuance or administration of each Letter of Credit as the Borrower and such Issuing Bank shall agree.

(c) Other Fees. The Borrower shall pay to each of Agent and Arranger for its own account the fees, in the amounts and on the dates, set forth in the Fee Letter and such other fees as may from time to time be agreed between the Borrower and Agent or Arranger.

(d) Extension Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent on the Extension Date, for the account of each Lender, a Facility extension fee, in an amount equal to 0.50% of each Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment then outstanding.

SECTION 2.09. Conversion of Advances. (a) Optional. The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the provisions of Sections 2.07 and 2.10, Convert all or any portion of the Advances of one Type comprising the same Borrowing into Advances of the other Type; provided, however, that any Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in Section 2.02(c), no Conversion of any Advances shall result in more separate Borrowings than permitted under Section 2.02(c) and each Conversion of Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing under any Facility shall be made ratably among the Lenders in accordance with their Commitments under such Facility. Each such notice of Conversion shall, within the restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Advances to be Converted and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the initial Interest Period for such Advances. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

(b) Mandatory. (a) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or otherwise, to less than $1,000,000, such Advances shall automatically Convert into Base Rate Advances.

(i) If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon each such Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance.

(ii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, (y) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (z) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended.

SECTION 2.10. Increased Costs, Etc. (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender Party of agreeing to make or of making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances or of agreeing to issue or of issuing or maintaining or participating in Letters of Credit or of agreeing to make or of making or maintaining Letter of Credit Advances (excluding, for purposes of this Section 2.10, any such increased costs resulting from (y) Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.12 shall govern) and (z) changes in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or state under the laws of which such Lender Party is organized or has its Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof), then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party for such increased cost; provided, however, that a Lender Party claiming additional amounts under this Section 2.10(a) agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender Party, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(b) If any Lender Party determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender Party or any corporation controlling such Lender Party and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender Party’s commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder and other

commitments of such type or the issuance or maintenance of or participation in the Letters of Credit (or similar contingent obligations), then, upon demand by such Lender Party or such corporation (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party, from time to time as specified by such Lender Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender Party in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender Party reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender Party’s commitment to lend or to issue or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder or to the issuance or maintenance of or participation in any Letters of Credit. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower by such Lender Party shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advances, the Required Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that the Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Lenders, whereupon (i) each such Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lenders have determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, then, on notice thereof and demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lender has determined that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist; provided, however, that, before making any such demand, such Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to continue to perform its obligations to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender.

SECTION 2.11. Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder and under the Notes, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off (except as otherwise provided in Section 2.13), not later than 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on the day when due in U.S. dollars to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account in same day funds, with payments being received by the Administrative Agent after such time being deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent shall promptly thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of principal, interest, commitment fees or any other

Obligation then payable hereunder and under the Notes to more than one Lender Party, to such Lender Parties for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices ratably in accordance with the amounts of such respective Obligations then payable to such Lender Parties and (ii) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of any Obligation then payable hereunder to one Lender Party, to such Lender Party for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Upon any Acceding Lender becoming a Lender hereunder as a result of a Commitment Increase pursuant to Section 2.17 and upon the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such Lender’s Accession Agreement and recording of information contained therein in the Register, from and after the applicable Increase Date, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under any Notes issued in connection therewith in respect of the interest assumed thereby to such Acceding Lender. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(d), from and after the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender Party assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

(b) The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender Party and each of its Affiliates, if and to the extent payment owed to such Lender Party is not made when due hereunder or, in the case of a Lender, under the Note held by such Lender, to charge from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with such Lender Party any amount so due.

(c) All computations of interest based on the Base Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and all computations of interest based on the Eurodollar Rate or the Federal Funds Rate and of fees and Letter of Credit commissions shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, fees or commissions are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate, fee or commission hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(d) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or commitment fee, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of Eurodollar Rate Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

(e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to any Lender Party hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, cause to be distributed to each

such Lender Party on such due date an amount equal to the amount then due such Lender Party. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender Party shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender Party together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender Party until the date such Lender Party repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

(f) Whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents is insufficient to pay in full all amounts due and payable to the Agents and the Lender Parties under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on any date, such payment shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent and applied by the Agents and the Lender Parties in the following order of priority:

(i) first, to the payment of all of the fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Agents (solely in their respective capacities as Agents) under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Agents on such date;

(ii) second, to the payment of all of the fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Issuing Banks (solely in their respective capacities as such) under or in respect of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such fees, indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Issuing Banks on such date;

(iii) third, to the payment of all of the indemnification payments, costs and expenses that are due and payable to the Lenders under Section 9.04, Section 21 of the Security Agreement and any similar section of any of the other Loan Documents on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such indemnification payments, costs and expenses owing to the Lenders on such date;

(iv) fourth, to the payment of all of the amounts that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under Sections 2.10 and 2.12 on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts thereof owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date;

(v) fifth, to the payment of all of the fees that are due and payable to the Lenders under Section 2.08(a), (b)(i) and (e) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate Commitments of the Lenders under the Facilities on such date;

(vi) sixth, to the payment of all of the accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations of the Borrower under or in respect of the Loan Documents that is due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties under Section 2.07(b) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such interest owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date;

(vii) seventh, to the payment of all of the accrued and unpaid interest on the Advances that is due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties

under Section 2.07(a) on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such interest owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date;

(viii) eighth, to the payment of any other accrued and unpaid interest comprising Obligations that is due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such interest owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date;

(ix) ninth, to the payment of the principal amount of all of the outstanding Advances that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such principal and reimbursement obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties on such date, and to deposit into the L/C Cash Collateral Account any contingent reimbursement obligations in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit to the extent required by Section 6.02; and

(x) tenth, to the payment of all other Obligations of the Loan Parties owing under or in respect of the Loan Documents that are due and payable to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date, ratably based upon the respective aggregate amounts of all such Obligations owing to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties on such date.

SECTION 2.12. Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by any Loan Party to or for the account of any Lender Party or any Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.11 or the applicable provisions of such other Loan Document, if any, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender Party and each Agent, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income by the United States and taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction under the laws of which such Lender Party or such Agent, as the case may be, is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender Party, taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction of such Lender Party’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in respect of payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any Loan Party shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any other Loan Document to any Lender Party or any Agent, and unless such requirement arises from the failure of a Lender to furnish the documentation described in Section 2.12(e), (i) the sum payable by such Loan Party shall be increased as may be necessary so that after such Loan Party and any Agent have made all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) such Lender Party or such Agent, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Loan Party shall make all such deductions and (iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b) In addition, each Loan Party shall pay any present or future stamp, documentary, excise, property, intangible, mortgage recording or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made by such Loan Party hereunder or under any other Loan Documents or from the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, or the other Loan Documents (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

(c) The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Lender Party and each Agent for and hold them harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of taxes of any kind imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable by the Loan Parties under this Section 2.12, imposed on or paid by such Lender Party or such Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date such Lender Party or such Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

(d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the appropriate Loan Party shall furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment, to the extent such receipt is issued therefor, or other evidence of payment thereof reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. In the case of any payment hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or on behalf of a Loan Party through an account or branch outside the United States or by or on behalf of a Loan Party by a payor that is not a United States person, if such Loan Party determines that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, such Loan Party shall furnish, or shall cause such payor to furnish, to the Administrative Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Administrative Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For purposes of subsections (d) and (e) of this Section 2.12, the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.

(e) Each Lender Party organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Initial Lender Party, and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes a Lender Party in the case of each other Lender Party, and from time to time thereafter as reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long thereafter as such Lender Party remains lawfully able to do so), provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with two original Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or W-8EC1, as appropriate, or any successor or other form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender Party is exempt from or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document. If the forms provided by a Lender Party at the time such Lender Party first becomes a party to this Agreement indicate a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from Taxes unless and until such Lender Party provides the appropriate forms certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such forms; provided, however, that if, at the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which a Lender Party becomes a party to this Agreement, the Lender Party assignor was entitled to payments under subsection (a) of this Section 2.12 in respect of United States

withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender Party assignee on such date. If any form or document referred to in this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of information, other than information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof by Internal Revenue Service form W-8BEN or W-8EC1, that the applicable Lender Party reasonably considers to be confidential, such Lender Party shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and shall not be obligated to include in such form or document such confidential information. Upon the request of the Borrower, any Lender that is a United States person and is not an exempt recipient for U.S. backup withholding purposes shall deliver to the Borrower two copies of Internal Revenue Service form W-9 (or any successor form).

(f) For any period with respect to which a Lender Party has failed to provide the Borrower with the appropriate form or other document described in subsection (e) above (other than if such failure is due to a change in law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form or other document originally was required to be provided or if such form or other document otherwise is not required under subsection (e) above), such Lender Party shall not be entitled to indemnification under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 2.12 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Lender Party become subject to Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form or other document required hereunder, the Loan Parties shall take such steps as such Lender Party shall reasonably request to assist such Lender Party to recover such Taxes.

(g) Any Lender Party claiming any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.12 agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to change the jurisdiction of its Eurodollar Lending Office if the making of such a change would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, any such additional amounts that may thereafter accrue and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender Party, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender Party.

(h) In the event that an additional payment is made under Section 2.12(a) or (c) for the account of any Lender Party and such Lender Party, in its sole discretion, determines that it has finally and irrevocably received or been granted a credit against or release or remission for, or repayment of, any tax paid or payable by it in respect of or calculated with reference to the deduction or withholding giving rise to such payment, such Lender Party shall, to the extent that it determines that it can do so without prejudice to the retention of the amount of such credit, relief, remission or repayment, pay to the applicable Loan Party such amount as such Lender Party shall, in its sole discretion, have determined to be attributable to such deduction or withholding and which will leave such Lender Party (after such payment) in no worse position than it would have been in if the applicable Loan Party had not been required to make such deduction or withholding. Nothing herein contained shall interfere with the right of a Lender Party to arrange its tax affairs in whatever manner it thinks fit nor oblige any Lender Party to claim any tax credit or to disclose any information relating to its affairs or any computations in respect thereof, and no Loan Party shall be entitled to review the tax records of any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, or require any Lender Party to do anything that would prejudice its

ability to benefit from any other credits, reliefs, remissions or repayments to which it may be entitled.

SECTION 2.13. Sharing of Payments, Etc. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.11(f), if any Lender Party shall obtain at any time any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set off, or otherwise, other than as a result of an assignment pursuant to Section 9.07) (a) on account of Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party hereunder and under the Notes at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time obtained by all the Lender Parties at such time or (b) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender Party hereunder and under the Notes at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time obtained by all of the Lender Parties at such time, such Lender Party shall forthwith purchase from the other Lender Parties such interests or participating interests in the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Lender Party to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Lender Party, such purchase from each other Lender Party shall be rescinded and such other Lender Party shall repay to the purchasing Lender Party the purchase price to the extent of such Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to such Lender Party to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lender Parties) of such recovery together with an amount equal to such Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such other Lender Party’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so recovered from the purchasing Lender Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Lender Party in respect of the total amount so recovered. The Borrower agrees that any Lender Party so purchasing an interest or participating interest from another Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.13 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to such interest or participating interest, as the case may be, as fully as if such Lender Party were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such interest or participating interest, as the case may be.

SECTION 2.14. Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of the Advances and issuances of Letters of Credit shall be available (and the Borrower agrees that it shall use such proceeds and Letters of Credit) solely for (i) general corporate purposes of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, (ii) the development of new, and the renovation and expansion of existing, Campus Housing Assets and the acquisition of such other assets and the making of such other Investments as are permitted by this Agreement, (iii) the acquisition of land and/or improvements for the sole purpose of converting such properties into Campus Housing Assets, (iv) the repayment in full (or refinancing) of existing mortgage loans affecting Borrowing Base Assets, (v) the payment of fees and expenses related to the Facilities and the other transactions

contemplated by the Loan Documents and (vi) the payment of fees and expenses related to the IPO and the Formation Transactions.

SECTION 2.15. Evidence of Debt. (a) Each Lender Party shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender Party resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender Party from time to time, including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender Party from time to time hereunder. The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender Party to the Borrower (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that a promissory note or other evidence of indebtedness is required or appropriate in order for such Lender Party to evidence (whether for purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender Party, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender Party, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a Note, in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto, payable to the order of such Lender Party in a principal amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Lender Party. All references to Notes in the Loan Documents shall mean Notes, if any, to the extent issued hereunder. To the extent no Note has been issued to a Lender Party, this Agreement shall be deemed to comprise conclusive evidence for all purposes of the indebtedness resulting from the Advances and extensions of credit hereunder.

(b) The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender Party, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender Party hereunder, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender Party’s share thereof.

(c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to subsection (b) above, and by each Lender Party in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection (a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender Party and, in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender Party, under this Agreement, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party to make an entry, or any finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.

SECTION 2.16. Extension of Termination Date. At least 30 days but not more than 60 days prior to the Termination Date, the Borrower, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, may request, with respect to the Commitments then outstanding, a single one-year extension of the Termination Date. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such request and the Termination Date in effect at such time shall, effective as at the Termination Date (the “Extension Date”), be extended for an additional one year period, provided that (i) the Administrative Agent shall have received not later than 30 days prior to the

Termination Date a new Appraisal of each Borrowing Base Asset, (ii) the Borrower shall have paid the Extension Fees as described in Section 2.08(d) and (iii) on the Extension Date the following statements shall be true and the Administrative Agent shall have received for the account of each Lender Party a certificate signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower, dated the Extension Date, stating that: (a) the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.01 are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the Extension Date (except to the extent that such representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true and correct as of such earlier date), and (b) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from such extension. In the event that an extension is effected pursuant to this Section 2.16 (but subject to the provisions of Sections 2.05, 2.06 and 6.01), the aggregate principal amount of all Advances shall be repaid in full ratably to the Lenders on the Termination Date as so extended. As of the Extension Date, any and all references in this Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any of the other Loan Documents to the “Termination Date” shall refer to the Termination Date as so extended.

SECTION 2.17. Increase in the Aggregate Commitments. (a) The Borrower may, at any time (but no more than twice in any consecutive 12-month period), by written notice to the Administrative Agent, request an increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Credit Commitments by not less than $5,000,000 (each such proposed increase, a “Commitment Increase”) to be effective as of a date that is at least 90 days prior to the scheduled Termination Date then in effect (the “Increase Date”) as specified in the related notice to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that (i) in no event shall the aggregate amount of the Commitments at any time exceed $200,000,000 and (ii) on the date of any request by the Borrower for a Commitment Increase and on the related Increase Date, the applicable conditions set forth in Article III shall be satisfied.

(b) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of each request by the Borrower for a Commitment Increase, which notice shall include (i) the proposed amount of such requested Commitment Increase, (ii) the proposed Increase Date and (iii) the date by which Lenders wishing to participate in the Commitment Increase must commit to an increase in the amount of their respective Commitments (the “Commitment Date”). Each Lender that is willing to participate in such requested Commitment Increase (each, an “Increasing Lender”) shall, in its sole discretion, give written notice to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the Commitment Date of the amount by which it is willing to increase its Commitment (the “Proposed Increased Commitment”). If the Lenders notify the Administrative Agent that they are willing to increase the amount of their respective Commitments by an aggregate amount that exceeds the amount of the requested Commitment Increase, the requested Commitment Increase shall be allocated to each Lender willing to participate therein in an amount equal to the Commitment Increase multiplied by the ratio of each Lender’s Proposed Increased Commitment to the aggregate amount of Proposed Increased Commitments.

(c) Promptly following each Commitment Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower as to the amount, if any, by which the Lenders are willing to participate in the requested Commitment Increase. If the aggregate amount by which the Lenders are willing to participate in any requested Commitment Increase on any such Commitment Date is less than the requested Commitment Increase, then the Borrower may extend offers to one or more Eligible Assignees to participate in any portion of the requested Commitment Increase that

has not been committed to by the Lenders as of the applicable Commitment Date; provided, however, that the Commitment of each such Eligible Assignee shall be in an amount of not less than $10,000,000.

(d) On each Increase Date, each Eligible Assignee that accepts an offer to participate in a requested Commitment Increase in accordance with Section 2.17(c) (an “Acceding Lender”) shall become a Lender party to this Agreement as of such Increase Date and the Commitment of each Increasing Lender for such requested Commitment Increase shall be so increased by the amount of its Proposed Increased Commitment (or by the amount allocated to such Lender pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.17(b)) as of such Increase Date; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall have received at or before 12:00 Noon (New York City time) on such Increase Date the following, each dated such date:

(i) an accession agreement from each Acceding Lender, if any, in form and substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (each, an “Accession Agreement”), duly executed by such Acceding Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower;

(ii) confirmation from each Increasing Lender of the increase in the amount of its Commitment in a writing satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, together with an amended Schedule I hereto as may be necessary for such Schedule I to be accurate and complete, certified as correct and complete by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower; and

(iii) such certificates or other information as may be required pursuant to Section 3.02.

On each Increase Date, upon fulfillment of the conditions set forth in the immediately preceding sentence of this Section 2.17(d), the Administrative Agent shall notify the Lenders (including, without limitation, each Acceding Lender) and the Borrower, at or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time), by telecopier or telex, of the occurrence of the Commitment Increase to be effected on such Increase Date and shall record in the Register the relevant information with respect to each Increasing Lender and each Acceding Lender on such date.

(e) On the Increase Date, to the extent the Advances then outstanding and owed to any Lender immediately prior to the effectiveness of the Commitment Increase shall be less than such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (calculated immediately following the effectiveness of the Commitment Increase) of all Advances then outstanding and owed to all Lenders (each such Lender, including any Acceding Lender, a “Purchasing Lender”), then such Purchasing Lender, without executing an Assignment and Acceptance, shall be deemed to have purchased an assignment of a pro rata portion of the Advances then outstanding and owed to each Lender that is not a Purchasing Lender (a “Selling Lender”) in an amount sufficient such that following the effectiveness of all such assignments the Advances outstanding and owed to each Lender shall equal such Lender’s Pro Rata Share (calculated immediately following the effectiveness of the Commitment Increase on the Increase Date) of all Advances then outstanding and owed to all Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall calculate the net amount to be paid by each Purchasing Lender and received by each Selling Lender in connection with the assignments effected

hereunder on the Increase Date. Each Purchasing Lender shall make the amount of its required payment available to the Administrative Agent, in same day funds, at the office of the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 P.M. (New York time) on the Increase Date. The Administrative Agent shall distribute on the Increase Date the proceeds of such amount to each of the Selling Lenders entitled to receive such payments at its Applicable Lending Office. If in connection with the transactions described in this Section 2.17 any Lender shall incur any losses, costs or expenses of the type described in Section 9.04(c), then the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender any amounts required to compensate such Lender for such losses, costs or expenses incurred in connection therewith.

ARTICLE VII
GUARANTY

SECTION 7.01. Guaranty; Limitation of Liability. (a) Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such Obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in enforcing any rights under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Loan Party to any Secured Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Loan Party. This Guaranty is and constitutes a guaranty of payment and not merely of collection.

(b) Each Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and each other Lender Party and, by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty, each other Secured Party, hereby confirms

To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent, the other Lender Parties and, by their acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty, the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

SECTION 7.02. Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party with respect thereto. The Obligations of each Guarantor under or in respect of this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty, irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or whether the Borrower or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

107

(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(f) any failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party to disclose such information);

(g) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Guaranty Supplement or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or

(h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other guarantor or surety.

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

SECTION 7.03. Waivers and Acknowledgments. (a) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any collateral.

108

of the other Loan Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or any collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

(d) Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may, without notice to or demand upon such Guarantor and without affecting the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty, foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and each Guarantor hereby waives any defense to the recovery by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties against such Guarantor of any deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by applicable law.

(e) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party.

(f) Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and that the waivers set forth in Section 7.02 and this Section 7.03 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

SECTION 7.04. Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s Obligations under or in respect of this Guaranty, this Agreement or any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of any Secured Party against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor or any collateral, 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 Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash, all Letters of Credit shall have expired or been terminated, all Secured Hedge Agreements shall have expired or been terminated and the Commitments shall have expired or been terminated.

(c) Turn-Over. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), each Guarantor shall, if the Administrative Agent so requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations as trustee for the Secured Parties and deliver such payments to the Administrative Agent on account of the Guaranteed Obligations (including all Post Petition Interest), together with any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.

ARTICLE VIII
THE AGENTS

111

SECTION 8.01. Authorization and Action; Appointment of Supplemental Collateral Agents. (a) Each Lender Party (in its capacities as a Lender, the Swing Line Bank (if applicable) and as an Issuing Bank (if applicable) and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential Hedge Banks) hereby appoints and authorizes each Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Notes), no Agent shall be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lender Parties and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that no Agent shall be required to take any action that exposes such Agent to personal liability or that is contrary to this Agreement or applicable law. Each Agent agrees to give to each Lender Party prompt notice of each notice given to it by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document, no Person identified as a syndication agent, documentation agent, senior manager, joint lead arranger or joint book running manager, in such Person’s capacity as such, shall have any obligations or duties to any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party under any of such Loan Documents. In its capacity as the Lender Parties’ contractual representative, Agents are each a “representative” of the Lender Parties as used within the meaning of “Secured Party” under Section 9-102 of the Uniform Commercial Code.

(b) Anything contained herein or in the Collateral Documents to the contrary notwithstanding, the Collateral Agent may from time to time, when the Collateral Agent deems it to be necessary, appoint one or more trustees, co-trustees, collateral co-agents or collateral subagents (each, a “Supplemental Collateral Agent”) with respect to all or any part of the Collateral. In the event that the Collateral Agent so appoints any Supplemental Collateral Agent with respect to any Collateral, (i) such Supplemental Collateral Agent shall automatically be vested, in addition to the Collateral Agent, with all rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent under the Collateral Documents with respect to such Collateral; (ii) such Supplemental Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be an “Agent” for purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the provisions of Section 21 of the Security Agreement, this Article and Section 9.04 hereof that refer to the Agents (or either of them) shall inure to the benefit of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, and all references therein and in the other Loan Documents to the Collateral Agent shall be deemed to be references to the Collateral Agent and/or such Supplemental Collateral Agent, as the context may require; and (iii) the term “Collateral Agent”, when used herein or in any applicable Collateral Document in relation to the Liens on or security interests in such Collateral granted in favor of the Collateral Agent, and any rights, powers, privileges, interests and remedies of the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral, shall be deemed to include such Supplemental Collateral Agent; provided, however, that no such Supplemental Collateral Agent shall be authorized to take any action with respect to any such Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Collateral Agent. Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower or any other Loan Party be reasonably required by any Supplemental Collateral Agent so appointed by the Collateral Agent to more fully or certainly vest in and confirming to such Supplemental Collateral Agent such rights, powers, privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to,

112

execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Collateral Agent. If any Supplemental Collateral Agent, or successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, to the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Collateral Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Collateral Agent.

SECTION 8.02. Agents’ Reliance, Etc. Neither any Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, each Agent: (a) in the case of the Administrative Agent, may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Administrative Agent receives and accepts an Accession Agreement entered into by an Acceding Lender as provided in Section 2.17 or an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by the Lender that is the payee of such Note, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee, or, in the case of any other Agent, such Agent has received notice from the Administrative Agent that it has received and accepted such Accession Agreement or Assignment and Acceptance, as the case may be, in each case as provided in Section 9.07; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender Party and shall not be responsible to any Lender Party for any statements, warranties or representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with the Loan Documents; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance, observance or satisfaction of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Loan Document on the part of any Loan Party or the existence at any time of any Default under the Loan Documents or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of any Loan Party; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender Party for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; and (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telegram, telecopy or telex or other electronic communication) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties.

SECTION 8.03. Citibank and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitments, the Advances made by it and the Notes issued to it, Citibank shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender Party and may exercise the same as though it were not an Agent; and the term “Lender Party” or “Lender Parties” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Citibank in its individual capacity. Citibank and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party, any Subsidiary of any Loan Party and any Person that may do business with or own securities of any Loan Party or any such Subsidiary, all as if Citibank were not the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the Lender Parties.

113

SECTION 8.04. Lender Party Credit Decision. Each Lender Party acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender Party and based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent or any other Lender Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall require any Agent or any of its respective directors, officers, agents or employees to carry out any “know your customer” or other checks in relation to any Person on behalf of any Lender Party and each Lender Party confirms to the Agents that it is solely responsible for any such checks it is required to carry out and that it may not rely on any statement in relation to such checks made by any Agent or any of its respective directors, officers, agents or employees.

SECTION 8.05. Indemnification by Lender Parties. (a) Each Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify each Agent (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender Party’s ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Agent in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”); provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from any Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Party agrees to reimburse each Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 9.04, to the extent that such Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 8.05 applies whether any such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender Party or any other Person.

(b) Each Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify each Issuing Bank (to the extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender Party’s ratable share (determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Party agrees to reimburse such Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 9.04, to

114

the extent that such Issuing Bank is not promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower.

(c) For purposes of this Section 8.05, the Lender Parties’ respective ratable shares of any amount shall be determined, at any time, according to their respective Revolving Credit Commitments at such time. The failure of any Lender Party to reimburse any Agent or any Issuing Bank, as the case may be, promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any amount required to be paid by the Lender Parties to such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender Party of its obligation hereunder to reimburse such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender Party shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender Party to reimburse such Agent or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, for such other Lender Party’s ratable share of such amount. Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Lender Party hereunder, the agreement and obligations of each Lender Party contained in this Section 8.05 shall survive the payment in full of principal, interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 8.06. Successor Agents. Any Agent may resign at any time by giving 30 days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lender Parties and the Borrower and may be removed at any time for cause by the Required Lenders; provided, however, that any removal of the Administrative Agent will not be effective until it has been replaced as Collateral Agent and it (or its Affiliate) has been replaced as an Issuing Bank and released from all obligations in respect thereof. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent (which successor Agent shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Agent, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lender Parties, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as an Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, and, in the case of a successor Collateral Agent, upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages and Assignments of Leases, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents, such successor Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. If within 45 days after written notice is given of the retiring Agent’s resignation or removal under this Section 8.06 no successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment, then on such 45th day (i) the retiring Agent’s resignation or removal shall become effective, (ii) the retiring Agent shall thereupon be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (iii) the Required Lenders shall thereafter perform all duties of the retiring Agent under the Loan Documents until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Agent as provided above. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as an Agent shall have become effective, the provisions of this Article VIII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was an Agent under this Agreement.

115

SECTION 8.07. Relationship of Agents and Lenders. The relationship between Agents (or either of them) and the Lenders, and the relationship among the Lenders, is not intended by the parties to create, and shall not create, any trust, joint venture or partnership relation between them.

116

above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be, under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

(b) In the event that (1) any Lender shall refuse to consent to a waiver or amendment to, or a departure from, the provisions of this Agreement which requires the consent of all Lenders and that has been consented to by the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders or (2) any Lender Party makes a demand for payment pursuant to Section 2.10(a) or (b) or (3) any Loan Party is required to pay additional amounts to a Lender Party pursuant to Section 2.12(a) or (b) or (c) or (4) any Lender fails to make any Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing on a date when the other Lenders make their Advances as contemplated under this Agreement (any such Lender, a “Potential Assignor Lender”), then the Borrower shall have the right, upon written demand to such Potential Assignor Lender and the Administrative Agent given within 30 days after the first date on which such consent was solicited in writing from the Lenders by the Administrative Agent or the first date on which the Lender Party made a demand for payment or failed to make the Advance (a “Potential Assignment Event Date”), to cause such Potential Assignor Lender to assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement at par (including, without limitation, its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes, if any, held by it) to an Eligible Assignee designated by the Borrower and approved by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) (a “Replacement Lender”), provided that (i) as of such Potential Assignment Event Date, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and (ii) with respect to clause (1) above only, as of the date of the Borrower’s written demand to replace such Potential Assignor Lender, no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing other than a Default or Event of Default that resulted solely from the subject matter of the waiver or amendment for which such consent was being solicited from the Lenders by the Administrative Agent. The Replacement Lender shall purchase such interests of the Potential Assignor Lender and shall assume the rights and obligations of the Potential Assignor Lender under this Agreement upon execution by the Replacement Lender of an Assignment and Acceptance delivered pursuant to Section 9.07. Any Lender that becomes a Potential Assignor Lender agrees that, upon receipt of notice from the Borrower given in accordance with this Section 9.01(b) it shall promptly execute and deliver an Assignment and Acceptance with a Replacement Lender as contemplated by this Section.

All notices, demands, requests, consents and other communications described in this clause (a) shall be effective (i) if delivered by hand, including any overnight courier service, upon personal delivery, (ii) if delivered by mail, three (3) Business Days after the date such notice, demand, request, consent or other communication is deposited in the mails, (iii) if delivered by posting to an Approved Electronic Platform, an Internet website or a similar telecommunication device requiring that a user have prior access to such Approved Electronic Platform, website or other device (to the extent permitted by Section 9.02(b) to be delivered thereunder), when such notice, demand, request, consent and other communication shall have been made generally available on such Approved Electronic Platform, Internet website or similar device to the class of Person being notified (regardless of whether any such Person must accomplish, and whether or not any such Person shall have accomplished, any action prior to obtaining access to such items, including registration, disclosure of contact information, compliance with a standard user agreement or undertaking a duty of confidentiality) and such Person has been notified in respect of such posting that a communication has been posted to the Approved Electronic Platform, provided that if requested by any Lender Party, the Administrative Agent shall deliver a copy of the Communications to such Lender Party by e-mail or telecopier and (iv) if delivered by electronic mail or any other telecommunications device, when receipt is confirmed by electronic mail as provided in this clause (a); provided, however, that notices and communications to any Agent pursuant to Article II, III or VIII or to the Collateral Agent under the Collateral Documents shall not be effective until received by such Agent or the Collateral Agent, as the case may be.

Each Lender Party agrees (i) to notify the Administrative Agent in writing of such Lender Party’s e-mail address to which a notice may be sent by electronic transmission (including by electronic communication) on or before the date such Lender Party becomes a party to this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter to ensure

that the Administrative Agent has on record an effective e-mail address for such Lender Party) and (ii) that any notice may be sent to such e-mail address.

(b) Notwithstanding clause (a) (unless the Administrative Agent requests that the provisions of clause (a) be followed) and any other provision in this Agreement or any other Loan Document providing for the delivery of any Approved Electronic Communication by any other means, the Loan Parties shall deliver all Approved Electronic Communications to the Administrative Agent by properly transmitting such Approved Electronic Communications in an electronic/soft medium in a format acceptable to the Administrative Agent to oploanswebadmin@citigroup.com or such other electronic mail address (or similar means of electronic delivery) as the Administrative Agent may notify to the Borrower. Nothing in this clause (b) shall prejudice the right of the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party to deliver any Approved Electronic Communication to any Loan Party in any manner authorized in this Agreement or to request that the Borrower effect delivery in such manner.

(c) Each of the Lender Parties and each Loan Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make the Approved Electronic Communications available to the Lender Parties by posting such Approved Electronic Communications on IntraLinks™ or a substantially similar electronic platform chosen by the Administrative Agent to be its electronic transmission system (the “Approved Electronic Platform”). Although the Approved Electronic Platform and its primary web portal are secured with generally-applicable security procedures and policies implemented or modified by the Administrative Agent from time to time (including, as of the Closing Date, a dual firewall and a User ID/Password Authorization System) and the Approved Electronic Platform is secured through a single-user-per-deal authorization method whereby each user may access the Approved Electronic Platform only on a deal-by-deal basis, each of the Lender Parties and each Loan Party acknowledges and agrees that the distribution of material through an electronic medium is not necessarily secure and that there are confidentiality and other risks associated with such distribution. In consideration for the convenience and other benefits afforded by such distribution and for the other consideration provided hereunder, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each of the Lender Parties and each Loan Party hereby approves distribution of the Approved Electronic Communications through the Approved Electronic Platform and understands and assumes the risks of such distribution

119

EMPLOYEES IN CONNECTION WITH THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS OR THE APPROVED ELECTRONIC PLATFORM.

(e) Each of the Lender Parties and each Loan Party agrees that the Administrative Agent may, but (except as may be required by applicable law) shall not be obligated to, store the Approved Electronic Communications on the Approved Electronic Platform in accordance with the Administrative Agent’s generally-applicable document retention procedures and policies.

SECTION 9.03. No Waiver; Remedies. No failure on the part of any Lender Party or any Agent to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

SECTION 9.04. Costs and Expenses. (a) Each Loan Party agrees jointly and severally to pay on demand (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, (A) all due diligence, collateral review, syndication, transportation, computer, duplication, appraisal, audit, insurance, consultant, search, filing and recording fees and expenses, (B) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for such Agent with respect thereto (including, without limitation, with respect to reviewing and advising on any matters required to be completed by the Loan Parties on a post-closing basis), with respect to advising such Agent as to its rights and responsibilities, or the perfection, protection or preservation of rights or interests, under the Loan Documents, with respect to negotiations with any Loan Party or with other creditors of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries arising out of any Default or any events or circumstances that may give rise to a Default and with respect to presenting claims in or otherwise participating in or monitoring any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving creditors’ rights generally and any proceeding ancillary thereto and (C) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for such Agent with respect to the preparation, execution, delivery and review of any documents and instruments at any time delivered pursuant to Sections 3.01, 3.02, 5.01(j) or 5.01(k) and (ii) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of each Agent and each Lender Party in connection with the enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of the Loan Documents, whether in any action, suit or litigation, or any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for such Agent and each Lender Party with respect thereto).

(b) Each Loan Party agrees to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) (i) the Facilities, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances or the Letters of Credit, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated

120

thereby or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials on any property of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Action relating in any way to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this Section 9.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party, whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents are consummated. Each Loan Party also agrees not to assert any claim against any Agent, any Lender Party or any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the Facilities, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances or the Letters of Credit, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents.

(c) If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurodollar Rate Advance is made by the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender Party other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.06, 2.09(b)(i), 2.10(d) or 2.17(e), acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.01 or for any other reason, or if the Borrower fails to make any payment or prepayment of an Advance for which a notice of prepayment has been given or that is otherwise required to be made, whether pursuant to Section 2.04, 2.06 or 6.01 or otherwise, the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party any amounts required to compensate such Lender Party for any additional losses, costs or expenses that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion or such failure to pay or prepay, as the case may be, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Lender Party to fund or maintain such Advance.

(d) If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by any Agent or any Lender Party, in its sole discretion.

Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by Section 6.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Notes due and payable pursuant to the provisions of Section 6.01, each Agent and each Lender Party and

121

each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and otherwise apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by such Agent, such Lender Party or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any and all of the Obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or hereafter existing under the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether such Agent or such Lender Party shall have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note or Notes and although such obligations may be unmatured.

SECTION 9.06. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower, each Guarantor named on the signature pages hereto and the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by each Initial Lender and each Initial Issuing Bank that such Initial Lender or such Initial Issuing Bank, as the case may be, has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Guarantors named on the signature pages hereto and each Agent and each Lender Party and their respective successors and assigns, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the Lender Parties.

SECTION 9.07. Assignments and Participations; Replacement Notes. (a) Each Lender may (and, if demanded by the Borrower in accordance with Section 9.01(b) will) assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under and in respect of one or more of the Facilities, (ii) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender, an Affiliate of any Lender or a Fund Affiliate of any Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Commitments being assigned to such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 under each Facility or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or such lesser amount as shall be approved by the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of effectiveness of such assignment, the Borrower), (iii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (iv) each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to Section 9.01(b) shall be an assignment of all rights and obligations of the assigning Lender under this Agreement, (v) no such assignments shall be permitted (A) until the Administrative Agent shall have notified the Lender Parties that syndication of the Commitments hereunder has been completed, without the consent of the Administrative Agent, and (B) at any other time without the consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) and (vi) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment and, except if such assignment is being made by a Lender to an Affiliate or Fund Affiliate of such Lender, a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided, however, that for each such assignment made as a result of a demand by the Borrower pursuant to Section 9.01(b), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent the $3,500 processing and recordation fee.

122

(b) Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, hereunder and (ii) the Lender or Issuing Bank assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under Sections 2.10, 2.12, 7.06, 8.05 and 9.04 to the extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall cease to be a party hereto).

(c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Lender Party assignor thereunder and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties thereto and hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such assigning Lender Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Lender Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, such assigning Lender Party or any other Lender Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints and authorizes each Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case may be.

(d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 9.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lender Parties and the Commitment under each Facility of, and principal amount of the Advances owing under each Facility to, each Lender Party from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Agents and the Lender Parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender Party hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for

123

inspection by the Borrower or any Agent or any Lender Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

In the case of any assignment by a Lender, within five Business Days after receipt of a request therefor, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall, if requested by the applicable Lender, execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes a substitute Note to the order of such Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it under each Facility pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if any assigning Lender has retained a Commitment hereunder under such Facility, a substitute Note to the order of such assigning Lender in an amount equal to the Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such substitute Note or Notes, if any, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto.

(f) Each Issuing Bank may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under the undrawn portion of its Letter of Credit Commitment at any time; provided, however, that (i) except in the case of an assignment to a Person that immediately prior to such assignment was an Issuing Bank or an assignment of all of an Issuing Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the amount of the Letter of Credit Commitment of the assigning Issuing Bank being assigned pursuant to each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $5,000,000 and shall be in an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (ii) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee and (iii) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500, provided that such fee shall not be payable if the assigning Issuing Bank is making such assignment simultaneously with the assignment in its capacity as a Lender of all or a portion of its Revolving Credit Commitment to the same Eligible Assignee.

(g) Each Lender Party may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than any Loan Party or any of its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes (if any) held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender Party’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitments) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender Party shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender Party shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Agents and the other Lender Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender Party in connection with such Lender Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v) no participant under any such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan

124

Party therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such participation, or release all or substantially all of the Collateral and (vi) if, at the time of such sale, such Lender Party was entitled to payments under Section 2.12(a) in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding tax, if any, applicable with respect to such participant on such date, provided that such participant complies with the requirements of Section 2.12(e) as if it were a Lender hereunder.

(h) Any Lender Party may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 9.07, disclose to the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Loan Parties (or any of them) furnished to such Lender Party by or on behalf of any Loan Party; provided, however, that prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of any Information received by it from such Lender Party on the same terms as provided in Section 9.10.

(i) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender Party may at any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.

(j) Upon notice to the Borrower from the Administrative Agent or any Lender of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Lender’s Note, the Borrower will execute and deliver, in lieu of such original Note, a replacement promissory note, identical in form and substance to, and dated as of the same date as, the Note so lost, stolen or mutilated, subject to delivery by such Lender to the Borrower of an affidavit of lost note and indemnity in customary form. Upon the execution and delivery of the replacement Note, all references herein or in any of the other Loan Documents to the lost, stolen or mutilated Note shall be deemed references to the replacement Note.

(k) If for any reason other than a good faith dispute any Lender shall fail or refuse to abide by its obligations hereunder, and such Lender shall not have cured such failure or refusal within five (5) Business Days of its occurrence (a “Lender Default”), then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to Administrative Agent, Lenders, or any Loan Party at law or in equity, such Lender’s right to vote on matters related to this Agreement other than those matters set forth in Section 9.01(a)(v), (vi), (vii) or (viii), and to participate in the administration of the Advances and this Agreement, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal; provided, however, that during the existence of such Lender Default, if such defaulting Lender is the only Lender to refuse to consent to a matter set forth in Section 9.01(a)(v), (vi), (vii) or (viii), then the proviso in the first sentence of Section 9.01(b) shall not apply if such Lender Default is continuing. Administrative Agent shall have the right, but not

125

the obligation, in its sole discretion, to acquire at par all of such Lender’s Commitment, including its Pro Rata Share in the Obligations under this Agreement. In the event that Administrative Agent does not exercise its right to so acquire all of such Lender’s interests, then each Lender for whom there does not exist a Lender Default (each, a “Current Party”) shall then, thereupon, have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion to acquire at par (or if more than one Current Party exercises such right, each Current Party shall have the right to acquire, pro rata) such Lender’s Commitment, including its Pro Rata Share in the outstanding Obligations under this Agreement.

SECTION 9.08. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.

SECTION 9.09. No Liability of the Issuing Banks. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. Neither any Issuing Bank nor any of its officers or directors shall be liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by such Issuing Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the Letter of Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any Letter of Credit, except that the Borrower shall have a claim against such Issuing Bank, and such Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower that the Borrower proves were caused by (i) such Issuing Bank’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of Credit comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit or (ii) such Issuing Bank’s willful failure to make lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and certificates strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, such Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.

SECTION 9.10. Confidentiality. (a) Each of the Agents, the Lender Parties and the Issuing Bank agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (i) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential), (ii) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners), (iii) to the extent required by applicable laws or

126

regulations or by any subpoena or similar legal process, (iv) to any other party hereto, (v) in connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder, (vi) subject to an agreement containing provisions at least as restrictive as those of this Section, (vii) to any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement, (viii) to any actual or prospective party (or its managers, administrators, trustees, partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder, (ix) to any rating agency, (x) the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar organization, (xi) with the consent of the Borrower or (xii) to the extent such Information (A) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (B) becomes available to such Agent, such Lender Party, the Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries without such Agent, such Lender Party, the Issuing Bank or any of their respective Affiliates having knowledge that a duty of confidentiality to the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries has been breached. For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from a Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries (including the Fee Letter and any information obtained based on a review of the books and records of the Parent Guarantor or any of its Subsidiaries) relating to any Loan Party or any of their Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

(b) Certain of the Lender Parties may enter into this Agreement and take or not take action hereunder or under the other Loan Documents on the basis of information that does not contain material non-public information with respect to any of the Loan Parties, any of their Subsidiaries or their respective securities (“Restricting Information”). Other Lender Parties may enter into this Agreement and take or not take action hereunder or under the other Loan Documents on the basis of information that may contain Restricting Information. Each Lender Party acknowledges that United States federal and state securities laws prohibit any person from purchasing or selling securities on the basis of material, non-public information concerning the issuer of such securities or, subject to certain limited exceptions, from communicating such information to any other Person. None of any Agent or any of its respective directors, officers, agents or employees shall, by making any Communications (including Restricting Information) available to a Lender Party, by participating in any conversations or other interactions with a Lender Party or otherwise, make or be deemed to make any statement with regard to or otherwise warrant that any such information or Communication does or does not contain Restricting Information nor shall any Agent or any of its respective directors, officers, agents or employees be responsible or liable in any way for any decision a Lender Party may make to limit or to not limit its access to Restricting Information. In particular, none of any Agent or any of its respective directors, officers, agents or employees (i) shall have, and each Agent, on behalf of itself and each of its directors, officers, agents and employees, hereby disclaims, any duty to ascertain or inquire as to whether or not a Lender Party has or has not limited its access to Restricting Information, such Lender Party’s policies or

127

procedures regarding the safeguarding of material, nonpublic information or such Lender Party’s compliance with applicable laws related thereto or (ii) shall have, or incur, any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender Party or any of their respective Affiliates, directors, officers, agents or employees arising out of or relating to any Agent or any of its respective directors, officers, agents or employees providing or not providing Restricting Information to any Lender Party, other than as found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Agent or any of its respective directors, officers, agents or employees.

(c) Each Loan Party agrees that (i) all Communications it provides to any Agent intended for delivery to the Lender Parties whether by posting to the Approved Electronic Platform or otherwise shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” if such Communications are determined by the Loan Parties in good faith not to contain Restricting Information which, at a minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof, (ii) by marking Communications “PUBLIC,” each Loan Party shall be deemed to have authorized the Agents and the Lender Parties to treat such Communications as either publicly available information or not material information (although such Communications shall remain subject to the confidentiality undertakings of Section 9.10(a)) with respect to such Loan Party or its securities for purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws, (iii) all Communications marked “PUBLIC” may be delivered to all Lender Parties and may be made available through a portion of the Approved Electronic Platform designated “Public Side Information” and (iv) the Agents shall be entitled to treat any Communications that are not marked “PUBLIC” as Restricting Information and may post such Communications to a portion of the Approved Electronic Platform not designated “Public Side Information” (and shall not post such Communications to a portion of the Approved Electronic Platform designated “Public Side Information”). Neither Agent nor any of its respective Affiliates shall be responsible for any statement or other designation by a Loan Party regarding whether a Communication contains or does not contain material non-public information with respect to any of the Loan Parties or their securities nor shall the Agents or any of their respective Affiliates incur any liability to any Loan Party, any Lender Party or any other Person for any action taken by any Agent or any of its respective Affiliates based upon such statement or designation, including any action as a result of which Restricting Information is provided to a Lender Party that may decide not to take access to Restricting Information. Nothing in this Section 9.10(c) shall modify or limit a Person’s obligations under Section 9.10 with regard to Communications and the maintenance of the confidentiality of or other treatment of Information.

(d) Each Lender Party acknowledges that circumstances may arise that require it to refer to Communications that might contain Restricting Information. Accordingly, each Lender Party agrees that it will nominate at least one designee to receive Communications (including Restricting Information) on its behalf and identify such designee (including such designee’s contact information) in writing to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender Party agrees to notify the Administrative Agent from time to time of such Lender Party’s designee’s e-mail address to which notice of the availability of Restricting Information may be sent by electronic transmission.

(e) Each Lender Party acknowledges that Communications delivered hereunder and under the other Loan Documents may contain Restricting Information and that

128

such Communications are available to all Lender Parties generally. Each Lender Party that elects not to take access to Restricting Information does so voluntarily and, by such election, acknowledges and agrees that the Agents and other Lender Parties may have access to Restricting Information that is not available to such electing Lender Party. Each such electing Lender Party acknowledges the possibility that, due to its election not to take access to Restricting Information, it may not have access to any Communications (including, without being limited to, the items required to be made available to the Administrative Agent in Section 5.03 unless or until such Communications (if any) have been filed or incorporated into documents which have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by the Parent). None of the Loan Parties, Agents or any Lender Party with access to Restricting Information shall have any duty to disclose such Restricting Information to such electing Lender Party or to use such Restricting Information on behalf of such electing Lender Party, and shall not be liable for the failure to so disclose or use, such Restricting Information.

(f) Sections 9.10(b), (c), (d) and (e) are designed to assist the Agents, the Lender Parties and the Loan Parties, in complying with their respective contractual obligations and applicable law in circumstances where certain Lender Parties express a desire not to receive Restricting Information notwithstanding that certain Communications hereunder or under the other Loan Documents or other information provided to the Lender Parties hereunder or thereunder may contain Restricting Information. None of any Agent or any of its respective directors, officers, agents or employees warrants or makes any other statement with respect to the adequacy of such provisions to achieve such purpose nor does any Agent or any of its respective directors, officers, agents or employees warrant or make any other statement to the effect that a Loan Party’s or Lender Party’s adherence to such provisions will be sufficient to ensure compliance by such Loan Party or Lender Party with its contractual obligations or its duties under applicable law in respect of Restricting Information and each of the Lender Parties and each Loan Party assumes the risks associated therewith.

SECTION 9.11. Release of Collateral. (a) Upon (i) the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any item of Collateral of any Loan Party (including, without limitation, (x) as a result of a sale of the Equity Interests in the Loan Party that owns such Collateral, and (y) any Transfer pursuant to Section 5.02(e)(ii)(B) or (C)) that is permitted by the terms of the Loan Documents or (ii) any designation of any Borrowing Base Asset as a non-Borrowing Base Asset that is permitted by Section 5.02(e)(ii)(C), then, in either such event, the Collateral Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Document in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

(b) Upon the latest to occur of (i) the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations, (ii) the termination in whole of the Commitments and (iii) the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and all Secured Hedge Agreements, the Liens granted by the Collateral Documents shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Loan Party. Upon any such termination, the Collateral Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Parties such documents as such Loan Parties shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

129

SECTION 9.12. Patriot Act Notification. Each Lender and each Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Loan Party, which information includes the name and address of such Loan Party and other information that will allow such Lender or such Agent, as applicable, to identify such Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act. The Parent Guarantor and the Borrower shall, and shall cause each of their Subsidiaries to, provide, to the extent commercially reasonable, such information and take such actions as are reasonably requested by any Agents or any Lenders in order to assist the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in maintaining compliance with the Patriot Act.

SECTION 9.13. Jurisdiction, Etc. (a) With respect to all matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other letter agreement or other undertaking concerning the financing contemplated therein, each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally, on behalf of itself, its properties, and to the extent it may lawfully do so, its parent entities, present and future subsidiaries, affiliates, transferees, assigns, acquirers, officers, directors, employees, partners, members, shareholders, and successors in interest, (i) submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York State or, if that court does not have subject jurisdiction, in any State court located in the City and County of New York; (ii) agrees that all such matters may be heard and determined in such courts, (iii) waives, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so, the defense of an inconvenient forum, (iv) agrees that a final judgment of such courts shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law, and (v) waives any immunity (sovereign or otherwise) from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process or setoff to which its or its properties or assets may be entitled.

(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party in any New York State or Federal court. Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

SECTION 9.14. Governing Law. This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

SECTION 9.15. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE OTHER LOAN PARTIES, THE AGENTS AND THE LENDER PARTIES IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE ADVANCES, THE LETTERS OF CREDIT OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY AGENT OR ANY LENDER PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.

FORM OF NOTE

(See Attached)

PROMISSORY NOTE


$[ ]		Dated: October [__], 2010

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, CAMPUS CREST COMMUNITIES OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Borrower”), HEREBY PROMISES TO PAY [ ] (the “Lender”) for the account of Lender’s Applicable Lending Office (as defined in the Credit Agreement referred to below) the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit Advances, the Letter of Credit Advances and the Swing Line Advances (each as defined below) owing to the Lender by the Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement dated as of October [ ], 2010 (as amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”; terms defined therein, unless otherwise defined herein, being used herein as therein defined) among the Borrower, the Lender and certain other lender parties party thereto, Campus Crest Communities, Inc., as Parent Guarantor, the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto, Citibank, N.A., as Collateral Agent and as Administrative Agent for the Lender and such other lender parties and the Arrangers party thereto, on the Termination Date.

The Borrower promises to pay to the Lender, in the care of Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Revolving Credit Advance, Letter of Credit Advance and Swing Line Advance owing to the Lender from the date of such Revolving Credit Advance, Letter of Credit Advance or Swing Line Advance, as the case may be, until such principal amount is paid in full, at such interest rates, and payable at such times, as are specified in the Credit Agreement.

Both principal and interest are payable in lawful money of the United States of America to Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent, at 1615 Brett Road, New Castle, Delaware 19720, in same day funds. Each Revolving Credit Advance, Letter of Credit Advance and Swing Line Advance owing to the Lender by the Borrower and the maturity thereof, and all payments made on account of principal thereof, shall be recorded by the Lender and, prior to any transfer hereof, endorsed on the grid attached hereto, which is part of this Promissory Note; provided, however, that the failure of the Lender to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the Obligations of the Borrower under this Promissory Note.

This Promissory Note is one of the Notes referred to in, and is entitled to the benefits of, the Credit Agreement. The Credit Agreement, among other things, (a) provides for the making of advances (variously, the “Revolving Credit Advances”, “Letter of Credit Advances” or the “Swing Line Advances”) by the Lender to or for the benefit of the Borrower from time to time in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any time outstanding the U.S. dollar amount first above mentioned, the indebtedness of the Borrower resulting from each such Revolving Credit Advance, Letter of Credit Advance and Swing Line Advance being evidenced by this Promissory Note, and (b) contains provisions for acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of an Event of Default and also for prepayments on account of principal hereof prior to the Termination Date upon the terms and conditions therein specified.

The obligations of the Borrower under this Promissory Note and the other Loan Documents, and the obligations of the other Loan Parties under the Loan Documents, are secured by the Collateral as provided in the Loan Documents.

This Promissory Note shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

Citibank, N.A.,
as Administrative Agent
under the Credit Agreement
referred to below
Two Penns Way
New Castle, Delaware 19720
Attention: Bank Loan Syndications Department

Credit Agreement dated as of October [_], 2010 (as in effect on the date hereof and as it may hereafter be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), among Campus Crest Communities Operating Partnership, LP, as Borrower, Campus Crest Communities, Inc., the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto, the Lender Parties party thereto, Citibank, N.A., as Collateral Agent and as Administrative Agent for the Lender Parties and the Arrangers party thereto.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to the above-captioned Credit Agreement and to the Guaranty set forth in Article VII thereof (such Guaranty, as in effect on the date hereof and as it may hereafter be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, together with this Guaranty Supplement, being the “Guaranty”). The capitalized terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined herein are used herein as therein defined.

Section 1. Guaranty; Limitation of Liability. (a) The undersigned hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration, demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of the Borrower and each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under or in respect of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications, substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Obligations), whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees, indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such Obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in enforcing any rights under this Guaranty Supplement, the Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the undersigned’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Loan Party to any Secured Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such other Loan Party.

(b) The undersigned, and by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty Supplement, the Administrative Agent and each other Secured Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty Supplement, the Guaranty and the Obligations of the undersigned hereunder and thereunder 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 foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty Supplement, the Guaranty and the Obligations of the undersigned hereunder and thereunder. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the undersigned and, by their acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty Supplement, the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties hereby irrevocably agree that the Obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty Supplement and the Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty Supplement and the Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

(c) The undersigned hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment shall be required to be made to any Secured Party under this Guaranty Supplement, the Guaranty or any other guaranty, the undersigned will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other Subsidiary Guarantor and each other guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Secured Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents.

Section 2. Obligations Under the Guaranty. The undersigned hereby agrees, as of the date first above written, to be bound as a Subsidiary Guarantor by all of the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement and the Guaranty to the same extent as each of the other Subsidiary Guarantors thereunder. The undersigned further agrees, as of the date first above written, that each reference in the Credit Agreement to an “Additional Guarantor”, a “Loan Party” or a “Subsidiary Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to the undersigned, and each reference in any other Loan Document to a “Subsidiary Guarantor” or a “Loan Party” shall also mean and be a reference to the undersigned.

Section 3. Representations and Warranties. The undersigned hereby makes each representation and warranty set forth in Section 4.01 of the Credit Agreement to the same extent as each other Subsidiary Guarantor; provided, however, that, to the extent there have been any changes in factual matters related to the addition of the undersigned as a Subsidiary Guarantor or the addition of any Asset owned by the undersigned as a Borrowing Base Asset warranting updated Schedules to the Credit Agreement (so long as such changes in factual matters shall in no event comprise a Default or an Event of Default under the Credit Agreement), such updated Schedules are attached as Exhibit A hereto.

Section 4. Delivery by Telecopier. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Guaranty Supplement by telecopier or e-mail (which e-mail shall include an attachment in PDF format or similar format containing the legible signature of the undersigned) shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Guaranty Supplement.

Section 5. Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial, Etc. (a) This Guaranty Supplement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

(b) The undersigned hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any New York State court or any federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty Supplement, the Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is or is to be a party, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment, and the undersigned hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York

State court or, to the extent permitted by law, in such federal court. The undersigned agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law. Nothing in this Guaranty Supplement or the Guaranty or the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Guaranty Supplement, the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty thereunder or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is or is to be a party in the courts of any other jurisdiction.

(c) The undersigned irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Guaranty Supplement, the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is or is to be a party in any New York State or federal court. The undersigned hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such suit, action or proceeding in any such court.

(d) THE UNDERSIGNED HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE ADVANCES OR THE ACTIONS OF ANY SECURED PARTY IN THE NEGOTIATION, ADMINISTRATION, PERFORMANCE OR ENFORCEMENT THEREOF.

FORM OF OPINION OF
GREENBERG TRAURIG LLP

(See Attached)

October _, 2010

Citibank, N.A., as Administrative Agent
1615 Brett Road
New Castle, Delaware 19720


	RE:		$125,000,000.00 revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) in favor of Campus Crest Communities Operating Partnership, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Borrower”)

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as special counsel to Borrower, Campus Crest Communities, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the “Parent Guarantor”), the entities listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto (the “Owners” and together with the Parent Guarantor, the “Guarantors”), Campus Crest Properties, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (“CCP LLC”), Campus Crest Group, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (CCG LLC”), and Campus Crest GP II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CCG II LLC”; and together with CCP LLC and CCG LLC, collectively, the “Initial Pledgors”). Borrower, the Guarantors and the Initial Pledgers are referred to herein as the “Borrower Parties” and each a “Borrower Party.” Except as otherwise indicated, capitalized terms used herein are defined as set forth in the Credit Agreement, as defined below.

In such capacity, we have reviewed the following documents dated as of the date hereof, as executed in connection with the Credit Facility:

(a) Promissory Notes (collectively, the “Notes”) made by Borrower in the aggregate principal amount of $125,000,000.00.

(b) Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) made by and among Borrower, the Guarantors, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent and collateral agent (“Agent”) and certain other Lender Parties (each as defined in the Credit Agreement);

(c) The mortgages, deeds of trust, deeds to secure debt, indemnity deed of trust or similar security instruments, made by each of the Owners (collectively, the “Mortgages”) encumbering the real property described therein (individually and collectively, as the context may require, the “Property”);

(d) The Assignments of Leases and Rents made by each of the Owners to Agent for the benefit of the Lender Parties (the “ALRs”).

Citibank, N.A.
October , 2010
Page 2

(e) Environmental Indemnity Agreement (the “Environmental Agreement”) made by Borrower and the Guarantors, in favor of Agent for the benefit of the Lender Parties;

(f) Manager Consent and Subordination of Management Agreement (the “Subordination Agreement”) between and among Borrower, the Owners, Agent and The Grove Student Properties, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (“Manager”);

(g) Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) from Borrower and the Owners to Agent for the benefit of the Lender Parties;

(h) Pledge Agreement (the “Pledge Agreement”) from Initial Pledgors to Agent for the benefit of the Lender Parties; and

(i) That certain letter agreement (the “Fee Letter”) dated as of July [no date], 2010 between and among Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Borrower, the Parent Guarantor and the Owners.

The Notes, the Credit Agreement, the Mortgages, the ALRs, the Environmental Agreement, the Subordination Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the Fee Letter are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents.” The Mortgages and the ALRs are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Local Loan Documents.”

We express no opinion with respect to the effect of any law other than the law of the State of New York and the federal law of the United States (collectively, “Applicable Law”). In addition, we express no opinion herein concerning any statutes, ordinances, administrative decisions, rules or regulations of any county, town, municipality or special political subdivision (whether created or enabled through legislative action at the federal, state or regional level). In addition, this opinion is being delivered simultaneously and in conjunction with certain additional opinion letters from various local counsel opining as to, among other things, the validity and enforceability of certain Local Loan Documents and certain other Loan Documents given by an individual Borrower Party with respect to specific real property locations in connection with the Loan (the “Local Opinions”). This opinion covers only the matters expressly set forth herein.

In connection with this opinion, we have assumed the accuracy and completeness of all documents and records that we have reviewed, the genuineness of all signatures other than those on behalf of the Borrower Parties, the authenticity of the documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified, conformed or reproduced copies and that all public records reviewed are current, accurate and complete. We have further assumed:

(i) The legal capacity of all natural persons executing the Loan Documents;

Citibank, N.A.
October , 2010
Page 3

(ii) That all material terms and conditions of the relationship between Borrower Parties, on the one hand, and Agent and the Lender Parties, on the other hand, are correctly and completely reflected in the Loan Documents;

(iii) All relevant factual certifications (including but not limited to those, if any, contained in the Loan Documents) are truthful and accurate;

(iv) That each party to the Loan Documents other than the Borrower Parties (collectively, the “Other Parties”) has satisfied all legal requirements that are applicable to it to the extent necessary to make the Loan Documents enforceable against it;

(v) That each of the Other Parties has complied with all legal requirements pertaining to its status as such status relates to its rights to enforce the Loan Documents against the Borrower Parties;

(vi) That each of the Other Parties and each of the Borrower Parties has duly accepted, executed and delivered each Loan Document to which it is a signatory;

(vii) The conduct of the parties to the Loan Documents complies with any requirement of good faith, fair dealing and conscionability;

(viii) That there has not been any mutual mistake of fact or fraud, duress or undue influence;

(ix) The Borrower Parties hold the requisite title and rights to any property involved in the Credit Facility;

(x) That all necessary filings and recordations and payments of fees, charges and taxes in connection with the Loan Documents required under the laws of the jurisdictions in which the real or personal property to be encumbered by the Loan Documents is located will have been timely and properly made;

(xi) That the Loan Documents will be administered in accordance with their terms;

(xii) That Agent and the Lender Parties will not act in such manner as to violate implied covenants of good faith, fair dealing and commercially reasonable conduct in connection with the Loan Documents;

(xiii) Each Borrower Party is a limited partnership, limited liability company or corporation, as applicable, existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its formation, and has the requisite corporate, limited partnership or limited liability company power, as applicable, to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to carry out the transactions contemplated thereby and the covenants and agreements contained therein; and

Citibank, N.A.
October , 2010

(xiv) Manager is a limited liability company, existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of North Carolina, and has the requisite limited liability company power to execute and deliver the Loan Documents to which it is a party and to carry out the transactions contemplated thereby and the covenants and agreements contained therein.

In rendering this opinion, as to questions of fact material to this opinion, we have relied to the extent we have deemed such reliance appropriate, without investigation, on certificates and other communications from public officials and from officers of Borrower and on representations and warranties of the Borrower Parties set forth in the Loan Documents as to factual matters and not as to legal conclusions.

Wherever we indicate that our opinion with respect to the existence or absence of facts is based on our knowledge, our opinion is based solely on the current actual knowledge of the attorneys in this firm who are representing the Borrower Parties in connection with the Credit Facility, and we have conducted no special investigation of factual matters in connection with this opinion.

Based on the foregoing and upon such investigation as we have deemed necessary, and subject to the assumptions, qualifications, limitations and exceptions herein contained, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Loan Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrower Parties, as the case may be, and are enforceable against such parties in accordance with their respective terms. The aforesaid opinion as to enforceability of the Local Loan Documents is subject to the qualification that certain provisions contained in the Local Loan Documents, particularly, but not limited to, those with respect to the creation, perfection and enforcement of the liens created under the Mortgages and the ALRs, may be governed by the laws of states other than New York, and, as to such matters, we express no opinion and refer you to the Local Opinions.

2. Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law (“GOL 5-1401”) permits parties to transactions covering not less than $250,000.00 to agree that New York law shall govern their rights and duties, in whole or in part. Accordingly, it is our opinion that a court of the State of New York (or a federal court sitting in the State of New York and applying GOL 5-1401) in a case properly pleaded and filed within the applicable statute of limitations should give effect to the choice of law provisions of the Loan Documents, except to the extent that any right or remedy sought to be enforced in any such case regards: (i) the creation, validity, perfection, priority and enforceability of liens or interests in real or personal property, which, by the nature of such real or personal property and New York choice of law rules, may be governed by the law of a jurisdiction other than New York; (ii) the realization upon the security covered by the Mortgages and the ALRs; and (iii) matters affecting real property or improvements on real property that are or may be governed by the law of the state where real property is located, and, as to such matters, we express no opinion and refer you to the Local Opinions.

3. The execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the performance by the Borrower Parties of their respective obligations thereunder do not: (a) result in a breach of any of

Citibank, N.A.
October , 2010
Page 5

the terms or conditions of or constitute a violation under any Applicable Law that we, in the exercise of customary professional diligence would reasonably recognize as being directly applicable to the Borrower Parties or the Credit Facility or generally applicable to transactions similar to the Credit Facility, (b) to our knowledge, result in the breach of the terms or conditions of, or constitute a default under, any written indenture, contract, instrument, agreement, lease or license to which the Borrower Parties are a party or by which the Borrower Parties are bound, and (c) to our knowledge, violate or conflict with any judgment, order, injunction or decree of any court or governmental authority known to us which would restrict or interfere with the performance by the Borrower Parties of their respective obligations under the Loan Documents.

4. The Credit Facility, including the interest payable under the Notes and all fees and charges paid or payable by or on behalf of Borrower or received or receivable by the Lender Parties, is not usurious or violative of any law, rule or regulation of the State of New York governing the payment or receipt of interest.

5. Under the New York UCC, the internal laws of the state of a debtor’s organization govern the perfection by the filing of financing statements of the security interest of Agent in any collateral other than real property and fixtures.

6. Except for the filing of the Mortgages and the ALRs in the applicable recording office for each such instrument, no authorization, consent, order, or approval of, or registration with, any court or governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality of the State of New York, or any specifically granted exemption from any of the foregoing, is required in connection with the execution (if applicable) and delivery by the Borrower Parties of the Loan Documents and the performance by the Borrower Parties of their respective obligations thereunder.

7. The provisions of the Loan Documents are effective to create a security interest in favor of Agent in the Borrower Parties’ rights, if any, in the collateral described in the Security Agreement and the Pledge Agreement, provided, however, except as expressly set forth in opinion paragraph 8, no opinion is expressed as to the perfection of any such security interest.

8. If and to the extent the Pledged Interests (as such term is defined in the Pledge Agreement) constitute certificated securities within the meaning of the New York UCC (the “Certificated Equity Collateral”), then upon delivery by Initial Pledgors to Agent of the certificates representing the Certificated Equity Collateral (the “Certificates”) along with duly executed Powers (as such term is defined in the Pledge Agreement) in blank with respect thereto, for so long as Agent has or retains continuous and exclusive control of such Certificates and Powers in the State of New York in the manner required by Section 8-106 of the New York UCC, and no other person or entity obtains control thereof, the Agent’s security interest in the Certificates will be perfected under Article 9 of the New York UCC by control and without the filing of a Financing Statement. Pursuant to Section 9-305(a)(1) of the New York UCC, in the event the Certificates are located in a state other than New York, the law of that jurisdiction will govern perfection of a security interest in those Certificates.

The opinions set forth above are subject to each of the following qualifications and limitations:

A. No opinion is expressed with respect to the status of title to any real or personal property and, to the extent not expressly set forth herein, no opinion is expressed as to the absence or presence of claims which are adverse to that of Borrower or Agent in and to any real or personal property or, to the creation, attachment, priority or perfection of liens or security interests with regard to real and personal property, it being expressly understood and agreed that Agent is relying upon (i) title insurance commitments and policies, and (ii) any Uniform Commercial Code and other searches, all as obtained on behalf of Agent as Agent deems adequate. We express no opinion as to the sufficiency of any description of collateral to provide notice to third parties of the lien or security interest intended to be provided for in the Loan Documents. In addition, no opinion is expressed as to whether any such real property or personal property (or any other property intended to be encumbered by the Loan Documents) is in compliance with any federal, state or local law, rule or regulation, or what effect, if any, noncompliance therewith would have on the enforceability of the Loan Documents.

B. No opinion is expressed with respect to the title to any property or fixtures or ownership thereof or as to the correctness or accuracy of the legal description contained in the Loan Documents, the correctness and accuracy of all of which is assumed for purposes of the opinions expressed herein. We express no opinion as to the characterization of any property as real property or personal property or as to the enforcement of a security interest in personal property collateral separately from the enforcement of a lien or real estate collateral as contemplated by Section 9-604 of the New York UCC.

C. No opinion is expressed as to any provision of any Loan Document that purports to characterize any or all of the provisions of such Loan Document as being reasonable, commercially reasonable or not manifestly unreasonable.

D. No opinion is expressed on the enforceability of any provisions contained in the Loan Documents that (i) purport to excuse a party for liability for its own acts, (ii) purport to make void any act done in contravention thereof, (iii) purport to authorize a party to act in its sole discretion, (iv) require waivers or amendments to be made only in writing, (v) purport to effect waivers of constitutional, statutory or equitable rights or the effect of applicable laws, or (vi) impose liquidated damages, penalties or forfeiture.

E. No opinion is expressed as to provisions of the Loan Documents purporting to require a party thereto to pay or reimburse attorneys’ fees incurred by another party, or to indemnify another party therefor, which provisions may be limited by applicable statutes and decisions relating to the collection and award of attorneys’ fees.

F. No opinion is expressed as the legality, validity or enforceability of the provisions of the Loan Documents that purport to empower the Agent to exercise rights thereunder without notice to adverse parties or without a proper judicial hearing.

Citibank, N.A.
October , 2010
Page 7

G. No opinion is expressed on any provisions of the Loan Documents wherein a Borrower Party appoints the Agent or others as its agent or attorney-in-fact.

H. No opinion is expressed as to the enforceability of any provision of the Loan Documents imposing increased interest rates or other fees upon delinquency in payment or default, or providing for premiums on prepayment, acceleration, redemption, cancellation, or termination, to the extent any such provision is deemed to be a penalty or forfeiture or contrary to statutory provisions.

I. No opinion is expressed as to the enforceability of provisions relating to evidentiary standards or other standards by which the Loan Documents are to be construed.

J. No opinion as to the effect on the opinions expressed herein of (i) the compliance or non-compliance of Agent or the Lender Parties with any federal, state or local laws applicable to Agent or the Lender Parties, or (ii) the legal or regulatory status or nature of the business of Agent or the Lender Parties.

K. The provisions regarding the remedies available to Agent in the case of a default or otherwise, as set forth in the Loan Documents, are subject to any available defenses and to procedural requirements which are not necessarily reflected therein and which may affect and/or restrict the rights and remedies stated to be available to Agent, but will not materially interfere with, or make the available remedies in respect thereof inadequate for, the practical realization of the benefits provided by the Loan Documents.

L. Certain rights, remedies, waivers and other provisions of the Loan Documents may not be enforceable; nevertheless, subject to the assumptions and other qualifications set forth in this opinion letter and to the last paragraph of this opinion letter, such unenforceability will not render the Loan Documents invalid as a whole or preclude (i) the judicial enforcement of the obligation of the Borrower to repay the principal, together with interest thereon, as provided in the Notes (to the extent not deemed a penalty) and (ii) the acceleration of the obligation of the Borrower to repay such principal, together with such interest, upon a material default by Borrower in the payment of such principal or interest or upon a material default in any other material provision of Loan Documents, subject in each case under parts (i) and (ii) of this paragraph to the economic consequences of delay and increased costs which may be occasioned by the unenforceability of such rights, remedies, waivers and other provisions.

M. The enforceability of the Loan Documents is subject to the effects of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, including, without limitation, specific performance). Such principles applied by a court might include a requirement that a creditor act with reasonableness and in good faith.

N. The enforceability of the Loan Documents is subject to the effects of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance or transfer and other similar laws affecting the rights and remedies of creditors generally.

Citibank, N.A.
October , 2010
Page 8

O. No opinion is expressed as to the waivers or remedies contained in the Loan Documents, whether or not a Loan Document deems any waiver or remedy commercially reasonable, if such waivers or remedies are determined (i) not to be commercially reasonable within the meaning of the New York UCC, (ii) to conflict with any mandatory provision under the New York UCC or other applicable law, or (iii) to be taken in a manner determined to be unreasonable or not performed in good faith or with fair dealing.

P. This opinion letter does not address any opinion not expressly set forth herein. In this connection, this opinion letter does not address any of the following legal issues: (i) federal and state (or “blue sky”) securities laws and regulations; (ii) Federal Reserve Board margin regulations; (iii) pension and employee benefit laws and regulations e.g., ERISA, (iv) federal and state antitrust and unfair competition laws and regulations; (v) federal and state laws and regulations concerning filing and notice requirements, e.g., Hart-Scott-Rodino and Exon-Florio; (vi) compliance with fiduciary duty requirements; (vii) the statutes, ordinances, administrative decisions and rules and regulations of counties, towns, municipalities and special political subdivisions (whether created or enabled through legislative action at the federal, state or regional level) and judicial decisions to the extent they deal with any of the foregoing; (viii) intentionally omitted; (ix) fraudulent transfer and fraudulent conveyance laws; (x) federal and state environmental laws and regulations; (xi) federal and state zoning, land use, building, landmark, archeological preservation, mobile home and subdivision laws and regulations; (xii) federal and state tax laws and regulations; (xiii) federal patent, copyright and trademark, state trademark and other federal and state intellectual property laws and regulations; (xiv) federal and state racketeering laws and regulations, e.g., RICO; (xv) federal and state health and safety laws and regulations, e.g., OSHA; (xvi) federal and state labor laws and regulations; (xvii) federal and state laws, regulations and policies concerning (1) national and local emergency, (2) possible judicial deference to acts of sovereign states, and (3) criminal and civil forfeiture laws; (xviii) other federal and state statutes of general application to the extent they provide for criminal prosecution, (e.g., mail fraud and wire fraud statutes); (xix) federal and state public utility laws or regulations; (xx) federal and state labor laws or regulations; (xxi) federal and state laws or regulations relating to terrorism, embargoes and money laundering; (xxii) federal and state anti-discrimination laws and regulations; (xxiii) federal and state trust, banking, insurance, unfair competition and bulk sale laws and regulations; and (xxiv) federal and state criminal laws, rules and regulations.

Q. No opinion is expressed as to the enforceability of any section of any of the Loan Documents to the extent it purports to waive any objection a person may have that a suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

R. No opinion is expressed as to the enforceability of any rights to contribution or indemnification provided for in the Loan Documents which are violative of the public policy underlying any law, rule or regulation.

S. No opinion is expressed as to the validity or the enforceability of any provision of any of the Loan Documents that is affected by the law of New York respecting enforceability of an after-default interest rate provision to the extent that such provision may be deemed or construed to be a penalty or against public policy.

Citibank, N.A.

T. In addition, the enforceability of the choice of law and submission to jurisdiction provisions of the Loan Documents is rendered in reliance upon and may be subject to certain limitations under the law of the State of New York and Federal law, and our opinion in Paragraph (2) above is qualified by the following:

GOL 5-1401 provides, in pertinent part, that “the parties to any contract. . . may agree that the law of this state shall govern their rights and duties in whole or in part, whether or not such contract, agreement or undertaking bears a reasonable relation to this state.” We draw your attention to the fact that certain federal courts have, notwithstanding the terms of GOL 5-1401, required that a reasonable relationship exist between an agreement and the State of New York before honoring a choice of New York law to govern the agreement, and have in dictum noted possible constitutional limitations upon GOL 5-1401, in both domestic and international transactions. See e.g., Lehman Brothers Commercial Corp. v. Minmelals Non-Ferrous Metals Trading Co., No. 94 Civ. 8301, 2000 WL 1702039 S.D.N.Y. Nov. 13, 2000. Accordingly, for purposes of our opinion in Paragraph (2) above, we have assumed that, should a court considering the choice of law provisions of the Loan Documents and applying New York law elect to apply principles beyond the express language of GOL 5-1401, such court would find that a reasonable relationship exists between the Loan Documents and the State of New York.

U. Additionally, any security interest opinions are qualified as follows, and we call your attention to the following:

(1) Our security interest opinions are limited to Article 9 of the New York UCC, and therefore such opinions do not address (1) laws of jurisdictions other than New York, or (2) collateral of a type not subject to Article 9 of the New York UCC.

(2) Under the New York UCC, events occurring subsequent to the date hereof may affect any security interest subject to the New York UCC including, but not limited to, factors of the type identified in Section 9-315 with respect to proceeds; Sections 9-503 and 9-507 with respect to changes in name, structure and corporate identity; Section 9-301 with respect to changes in the location of the collateral and location of a debtor; and Section 9-510 with respect to continuation statements. In addition, actions taken by a secured party (e.g., releasing or assigning the security interest, delivering possession of the collateral to a debtor or another person and voluntarily subordinating a security interest) may affect any security interest subject to the New York UCC.

(3) The security interest of Agent may be subject to the rights of account debtors, claims and defenses of account debtors and the terms of agreements with account debtors.

(4) We express no opinion regarding any security interest or the perfection thereof in any items of collateral which are subject to a statute, regulation or treaty of the United States of America (including any state, municipality or other political subdivision

Citibank, N.A.
October , 2010
Page 10

thereof) which provides for a national (including any state, municipality or other political subdivision thereof) or international registration or a national or international certificate of title for the perfection of a security interest therein or which specifies a place of filing different from the place specified in the New York UCC for filing to perfect such security interest.

(5) We express no opinion regarding the security interest of Agent in any of the collateral consisting of claims against any government or governmental agency (including without limitation the United States of America or any state thereof or any agency or department of the United States of America of any state thereof).

(6) Section 552 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 101 et seq., as amended from time to time) (the “Bankruptcy Code”), limits the extent to which property acquired by a debtor after the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code may be subject to a security interest arising from a security agreement entered into by such debtor before the commencement of such case.

The foregoing opinions are based upon and rely upon the current status of statutory and case law as of the date hereof. Such opinions are based solely upon applicable laws, statutes, rules and regulations and facts, all as in existence on the date hereof, and we express no opinions as to the effect which any future amendments, changes, additions or modifications thereof may have upon the future performance or enforceability of the Loan Documents, and we assume no obligation to update or supplement such opinions to reflect any facts or circumstances which may hereafter come to our attention or any changes in law which may hereafter occur.

The opinions expressed in this letter are given solely for the benefit of Agent and the Lender Parties, their respective successors and assigns (including any purchaser of the Credit Facility and any purchaser of certificates evidencing an interest in the Credit Facility), each in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. The opinions expressed in this letter may not be relied upon, in whole or in part, by Agent, the Lender Parties or their respective successors or assigns or counsel for any other purpose or relied upon by any other person, firm or corporation for any purpose, without our prior written consent. The opinions expressed in this letter are rendered as of the date hereof and we express no opinion as to circumstances or events that may occur subsequent to such date.

Very Truly Yours,

Capitalized terms used in this letter that are not otherwise defined in this letter shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement. These opinions are being delivered to you to satisfy the condition set forth in Section 3.01(a)(xiv) of the Agreement.

As a basis for our opinions, we have examined the following documents (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”):

(ii) a copy of the executed Environmental Indemnity Agreement dated October ____, 2010.

(vii) such other documents as we have deemed necessary and appropriate to express the opinions set forth in this letter, subject to the limitations and assumptions and qualifications noted below.

In reaching the opinions set forth below, we have assumed:

(b) the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, the conformity to originals of all documents submitted to us as certified or photographic copies, and the accuracy and completeness of all documents;

As to various questions of fact material to our opinions, we have relied upon a certificate and representations of Donald L. Bobbitt, Jr., as Secretary of the Company, and have assumed that such certificate and representations continue to remain true and complete as of the date of this letter. We have not examined any court records, dockets, or other public records, nor have we investigated the Company’s history or other transactions, except as specifically set forth in this letter.

The phrases “to our knowledge” or “known to us,” as used in this letter, mean current conscious actual knowledge of lawyers at our firm who have been engaged in the performance of legal services for the Company, and signify that in the course of performance of legal services, no information has come to our attention that would give us actual notice or actual knowledge that any opinions are inaccurate or that any of the Transaction Documents or other information upon which we have relied are not accurate and complete. The words “to our knowledge” and “known to us,” are limited to the knowledge of the lawyers within our firm who are involved in the Transaction and are presently at the firm.

Based on our review of the foregoing and subject to the assumptions and qualifications set forth in this letter, it is our opinion, as of the date of this letter, that:

1. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Maryland.

2. The Company has the corporate power to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents and to perform its obligations thereunder.

3. All necessary corporate action has been taken to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company.

4. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, and the performance by the Company of their terms will not conflict with the Company’s charter or bylaws.

5. The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and the performance by the Company of their terms will not violate any provision of the Maryland General Corporation Law.

6. No consent, approval, authorization or other action by or filing with, any governmental authority of the State of Maryland is required to be obtained or made by the Company for the execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company.

In addition to the qualifications set forth above, the opinions set forth in this letter are also subject to the following qualifications:

(i) We express no opinion as to the laws of any jurisdiction other than the laws of the State of Maryland. We express no opinion as to the principles of conflict of laws of any jurisdiction, including the laws of the State of Maryland.

(ii) We assume no obligation to supplement our opinions if any applicable law changes after the date of this letter or if we become aware of any facts that might alter the opinions expressed in this letter after the date of this letter.

(iii) We express no opinion with respect to title to any property, nor do we express any opinion with respect to the existence of encumbrances upon any property or the attachment, validity, perfection, or priority of any security interests or liens purported to be created under the Transaction Documents.

(iv) We express no opinion as to the laws, ordinances, zoning restrictions, rules or regulations of any city, county or other municipality or any other local governmental agency.

(v) We express no opinion as to any consent, approval, authorization, or other action by, or filing with, any governmental authority necessary or required for the ongoing operation of the Company’s business.

(vii) We express no opinion on the enforceability of the Transaction Documents.

(ix) Our opinion in Paragraph 6 regarding consents and approvals is based upon our consideration of only those consents, approvals, authorizations, orders, registrations, declarations or filings required under those statutes, rules or regulations of the State of Maryland, if any, that, in our experience, are reasonably applicable to transactions of the type contemplated under the Transaction Documents.

The opinions expressed in this letter are solely for the benefit of the Lender and its counsel and are furnished only with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Accordingly, these opinions may not be relied upon by or quoted to any other person or entity without, in each instance, our prior written consent.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, this Agreement secures, as to each Grantor, the payment of all amounts that constitute part of the Secured Obligations and would be owed by such Grantor to any Secured Party under the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving a Loan Party.

Section 3. Grantors Remain Liable.

Section 4. Delivery and Control of Security Collateral. (a) All certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Security Collateral shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in

blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to the Collateral Agent. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 21 hereof, the Collateral Agent shall have the right, at any time in its discretion and without notice to any Grantor, to transfer to or to register in the name of the Collateral Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Security Collateral. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 21 hereof, the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Security Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations.

(c) With respect to any Security Collateral in which any Grantor has any right, title or interest and that is not an uncertificated security, upon the request of the Collateral Agent, such Grantor will notify each such issuer of Pledged Equity that such Pledged Equity is subject to the security interest granted hereunder.

Section 5. Maintaining the Account Collateral. So long as any Advance or any other Obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall remain unpaid, any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding, any Secured Hedge Agreement shall be in effect, or any Lender Party shall have any Commitment:

(a) The Borrower will maintain the L/C Cash Collateral Account only with the Collateral Agent.

(b) The Collateral Agent may, at any time and without notice to, or consent from, the Borrower or any Grantor, transfer, or direct the transfer of, funds from the Account Collateral to satisfy the Borrower’s or such Grantor’s obligations under the Loan Documents if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

Section 6. Investing of Amounts in the L/C Cash Collateral Account. The Collateral Agent will, subject to the provisions of Sections 5, 7 and 21_, from time to time (a) (i) invest amounts received with respect to the L/C Cash Collateral Account in such Cash Equivalents credited to the L/C Cash Collateral Account as such Grantor may select and the Collateral Agent may approve in its reasonable discretion, and (ii) invest interest paid on the Cash Equivalents referred to in clause (a)(i) above, and (b) reinvest other proceeds of any such Cash Equivalents that may mature or be sold, in each case in such Cash Equivalents credited in the same manner. Interest and proceeds that are not invested or reinvested in Cash Equivalents

as provided above shall be deposited and held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account. In addition, the Collateral Agent shall have the right at any time to exchange such Cash Equivalents for similar Cash Equivalents of smaller or larger determinations, or for other Cash Equivalents, credited to the L/C Cash Collateral Account.

Section 7. Release of Amounts. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Collateral Agent will pay and release to the Borrower or the relevant Grantor or at the Borrower’s order or, at the request of the Borrower, to the Collateral Agent to be applied to the Obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents, such amount, if any, as is then on deposit in the L/C Cash Collateral Account, in each case to the extent permitted to be released under the terms of the Credit Agreement.

(b) Each Grantor will as soon as reasonably practicable give notice to the Collateral Agent of any material commercial tort claim against any Grantor and will promptly execute or otherwise authenticate a supplement to this Agreement, and otherwise take all necessary action, to subject such commercial tort claim to the first priority security interest created under this Agreement.

(iii) The Collateral Agent will execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to each Grantor all such proxies and other instruments as

such Grantor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Grantor to exercise the voting and other rights that it is entitled to exercise pursuant to paragraph (i) above and to receive the dividends or interest payments that it is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to paragraph (ii) above.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(ii) All dividends, interest and other distributions that are received by any Grantor contrary to the provisions of paragraph (i) of this Section 14(b) shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent as Security Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

Section 20. The Collateral Agent’s Duties. (a) The powers conferred on the Collateral Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interest in the Collateral and shall not impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers.

The Collateral Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property.

authorized to take any action with respect to any such Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the Collateral Agent.

Section 21. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a) The Collateral Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies to the affected Collateral) and also may: (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Collateral Agent forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed in writing by the Collateral Agent and make it available to the Collateral Agent at a place and time to be designated by the Collateral Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) without notice except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, at any of the Collateral Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as the Collateral Agent may deem commercially reasonable; (iii) occupy any premises owned or leased by any of the Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; and (iv) exercise any and all rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, (A) any and all rights of such Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or performance of any provision of, the Assigned Agreements, the Receivables, the Related Contracts and the other Collateral, (B) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all funds with respect to the Account Collateral, (C) without notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations against any funds held with respect to the Collateral in any deposit account and (D) exercise all other rights and remedies with respect to the Assigned Agreements, the Receivables, the Related Contracts and the other Collateral, including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The Collateral Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given. The Collateral Agent may adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.

(b) Any cash held by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent and all cash proceeds received by or on behalf of the Collateral Agent in respect of any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral will be applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the Collateral Agent pursuant to Section 22) by the Collateral Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties against the Secured Obligations, in the following manner:

(i) first, paid to the Agents for any amounts then owing to the Agents pursuant to Section 9.04 of the Credit Agreement or otherwise under the Loan Documents, ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then owing to the Agents; and

(ii) second, ratably (A) paid to the Lender Parties for any amounts then owing to them under the Loan Documents ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then owing to such Lender Parties and (B) deposited as Collateral in the L/C Cash Collateral Account up to an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate Available Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, provided that in the event that any such Letter of Credit is drawn, the Collateral Agent shall pay to the Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit the amount held in the L/C Cash Collateral Account in respect of such Letter of Credit, provided further that, to the extent that any such Letter of Credit shall expire or terminate undrawn and as a result thereof the amount of the Collateral in the L/C Cash Collateral Account shall exceed 100% of the aggregate Available Amount of all then outstanding Letters of Credit, such excess amount of such Collateral shall be applied in accordance with the remaining order of priority set out in this Section 21(b).

Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by or on the behalf of the Collateral Agent and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations shall be paid over to the applicable Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

(c) All payments received by any Grantor under or in connection with any Assigned Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the benefit of the Collateral Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith paid over to the Collateral Agent in the same form as so received (with any necessary indorsement).

(d) The Collateral Agent may, without notice to any Grantor except as required by law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set off and otherwise apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations against any funds held with respect to the Account Collateral or in any other deposit account.

Section 22. Indemnity and Expenses. (a) Each Grantor agrees to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless each Secured Party and each of their Affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or resulting from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement), except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b) Each Grantor will upon demand pay to the Collateral Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and of any experts and agents, that the Collateral Agent may incur in connection with (i) the administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral of such Grantor, (iii) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Collateral Agent or the other Secured Parties hereunder or (iv) the failure by such Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof.

Section 23. Amendments; Waivers; Additional Grantors, Etc. (a) No amendment shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the parties hereto. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Collateral Agent, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. No failure on the part of the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

(b) Upon the execution and delivery, or authentication, by any Person of a security agreement supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each, a “Security Agreement Supplement”), (i) such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Grantor” and shall be and become a Grantor hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to “Grantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, and each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to “Collateral” shall also mean and be a reference to the Collateral of such Additional Grantor, and (ii) the supplemental schedules I-V attached to each Security Agreement Supplement shall be incorporated into and become a part of and supplement Schedules I-V, respectively, hereto, and the Collateral Agent may attach such supplemental schedules to such Schedules; and each reference to such Schedules shall mean and be a reference to such Schedules as supplemented pursuant to each Security Agreement Supplement.

Section 24. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be given in accordance with Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement. Delivery by telecopier or email (in pdf format) of an executed counterpart of any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any Security Agreement Supplement or Schedule hereto shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof.

Section 25. Continuing Security Interest; Assignments under the Credit Agreement. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the latest of (i) the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations, (ii) the Termination Date and (iii) the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and Secured Hedge Agreements, (b) be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the Collateral Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Lender Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement in

accordance with the terms thereof (including, without limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes, if any, held by it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender Party herein or otherwise, in each case as provided in Section 9.07 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 26. Release; Termination. (a) Upon any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any item of Collateral of any Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents (other than sales of Inventory in the ordinary course of business), the Collateral Agent will, at such Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted hereby; provided, however, that (i) at the time of such request and such release no Default shall have occurred and be continuing and (ii) such Grantor shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent, at least seven Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for release describing the item of Collateral and the terms of the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition in reasonable detail, including, without limitation, a form of release for execution by the Collateral Agent and a certificate of Grantor to the effect that the transaction is in compliance with the Loan Documents and as to such other matters as the Collateral Agent may request.

(b) Upon any permitted Transfer or release of a Borrowing Base Asset in accordance with Section 5.02(e)(ii)(C) of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent will, at such Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence the release of any item of Collateral related to such Borrowing Base Asset from the assignment and security interest granted hereby; provided, however, that (i) at the time of such request and such release no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or shall result from such Transfer and (ii) such Grantor shall have delivered to the Collateral Agent, at least seven Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release, a written request for release describing the item of Collateral, including a form of release for execution by the Collateral Agent.

(c) Upon the latest of (i) the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations, (ii) the Termination Date and (iii) the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and Secured Hedge Agreements, the pledge and security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Grantor. Upon any such termination, the Collateral Agent will, at the applicable Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

Section 27. Security Interest Absolute. The obligations of each Grantor under this Agreement are independent of the Secured Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Grantor to enforce this Agreement, irrespective of whether any action is brought against such Grantor or any other Loan Party or whether such Grantor or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. All rights of the Collateral Agent and the other Secured Parties and the pledge, assignment and security interest hereunder, and all obligations of each Grantor hereunder, shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional

irrespective of, and each Grantor hereby irrevocably waives (to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law) any defenses it may now have or may hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase in the Secured Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise;

(c) any taking, exchange, release or non perfection of any Collateral or any other collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations;

(d) any manner of application of any Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any manner of sale or other disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Secured Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents or any other assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(f) any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, assets, nature of assets, liabilities or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to such Secured Party (each Grantor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such information);

(g) the failure of any other Person to execute this Agreement or any other Collateral Document, guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of any Grantor or other grantor or surety with respect to the Secured Obligations; or

(h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Secured Party that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, such Grantor or any other Grantor or a third party grantor of a security interest.

This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Secured Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any Secured Party or by any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

Section 28. Third Party Waivers. (a) Each Grantor authorizes the Collateral Agent to perform any or all of the following acts at any time in its sole discretion, all without notice to any Grantor, without affecting such Grantor’s obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Documents and without affecting the liens and encumbrances against the Collateral in favor of the Collateral Agent:

(i) Subject to Section 9.01 of the Credit Agreement, the Collateral Agent may alter any terms of the Obligations or any part thereof, including renewing, compromising, extending or accelerating, or otherwise changing the time for payment of, or increasing or decreasing the rate of interest on, the Obligations or any part thereof.

(ii) The Collateral Agent may take and hold security for the Obligations, accept additional or substituted security, and subordinate, exchange, enforce, waive, release, compromise, fail to perfect and sell or otherwise dispose of any such security.

(iii) The Collateral Agent may direct the order and manner of any sale of all or any part of any security now or later to be held for the Obligations, and the Collateral Agent (or its nominees or designees) may also bid at any such sale.

(iv) The Collateral Agent may apply any payments or recoveries from the any Borrower, any Grantor or any other source, and any proceeds of any security, to the obligations under the Loan Documents in such manner, order and priority as the Collateral Agent may elect.

(v) The Collateral Agent may release any Borrower or any other person or entity of its liability for the Obligations or any part thereof.

(vi) The Collateral Agent may substitute, add or release any one or more guarantors or endorsers.

(vii) In addition to the Obligations, the Collateral Agent may extend other credit to any Borrower, and may take and hold security for the credit so extended.

(b) Each Grantor waives:

(i) Any right it may have to require the Collateral Agent to proceed against any Borrower, any Grantor or any other person or entity, proceed against or exhaust any security held from any Borrower, any Grantor or any person or entity, or pursue any other remedy in the Collateral Agent’s power to pursue;

(ii) Any defense based on any claim that any Grantor’s obligations exceed or are more burdensome than those of any Borrower, any Grantor or any other Person;

(iii) Any defense: (A) based on any legal disability of any other Person, (B) based on any release, discharge, modification, impairment or limitation of the liability of any other person or entity to the Collateral Agent from any cause, whether consented to by the Collateral Agent or arising by operation of law, (C) arising out of or able to be asserted as a result of any case, action or proceeding before any court or other governmental authority relating to bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, liquidation, receivership, dissolution, winding-up or relief of any other person or entity or any of their respective affiliates, or any general assignment for the benefit of creditors, composition, marshaling of assets for creditors or other, similar arrangement in respect of its creditors generally or any substantial portion of its creditors; in each case as undertaken under any U.S. Federal or State law (each of the foregoing described in this clause (C) being referred to herein as an “Insolvency Proceeding”); or (D) arising from any rejection or disaffirmance of the Obligations, or any part thereof, or any security held therefor, in any such Insolvency Proceeding;

(iv) Any defense based on any action taken or omitted by the Collateral Agent in any Insolvency Proceeding involving any other Person, including any election to have the Collateral Agent’s claim allowed as being secured, partially secured or unsecured, any extension of credit by the Collateral Agent to any other Person in any Insolvency Proceeding, and the taking and holding by the Collateral Agent of any security for any such extension of credit;

(v) All presentments, demands for performance, notices of nonperformance, protests, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of intention to accelerate, notices of acceleration, notices of acceptance of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and of the existence, creation, or incurring of new or additional indebtedness, and demands and notices of every kind (except or expressly required by the Credit Agreement); and

(vi) Except for such notices as required by the Loan Documents, any defense based on or arising out of any defense that the Borrower or any of its affiliates may have to the payment or performance of the Obligations (other than the defense that the Obligations have been paid in full).

(c) (i) After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, in its sole discretion, without prior notice (except as required by applicable law) to or consent of any Grantor or any Borrower, the Collateral Agent may elect to: (A) foreclose against any collateral for the Secured Obligations, (B) accept any offer to transfer any such collateral for the Secured Obligations in lieu of foreclosure, (C) compromise or adjust the Secured Obligations or any part thereof or make any other accommodation with any Borrower or any Person, or (D) exercise any other remedy against any Borrower or any person or entity or any collateral for the Secured Obligations. No such action by the Collateral Agent shall release or limit the Collateral Agent’s rights hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, even if the effect of the action is to deprive Grantor of any subrogation rights, rights of indemnity, or other rights to collect reimbursement from any Borrower or any other Person for any sums paid to the Collateral Agent, whether contractual or arising by operation of law or otherwise. Each Grantor expressly

agrees that under no circumstances shall such Grantor be deemed to have any right, title, interest or claim in or to any real or personal property to be held by the Collateral Agent or any third party after any foreclosure or transfer in lieu of foreclosure of any security for the Secured Obligations.

(ii) Subject to the prior full, final and indefeasible payment of all Secured Obligations to the Collateral Agent, each Grantor shall retain its rights to seek contribution and reimbursement from, and rights of subrogation with respect to, any other Grantor. Such rights of subrogation, contribution and reimbursement shall be subordinate to the Secured Obligations, and no Grantor shall enforce any such rights until the Secured Obligations shall have been finally paid in full.

Section 29. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier or email (in pdf format) shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.

Section 30. The Credit Agreement and the Mortgages. If any conflict or inconsistency exists between this Agreement and the Credit Agreement, the Credit Agreement shall control and govern to the extent of such inconsistency. In the event that any of the Collateral hereunder is also subject to a valid and enforceable Lien under the terms of any Mortgage and the terms of such Mortgage are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, then with respect to such Collateral, the terms of such Mortgage shall be controlling in the case of fixtures and real estate leases, letting and licenses of, and contracts and agreements relating to the lease of, real property, and the terms of this Agreement shall be controlling in the case of all other Collateral.

Section 31. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

(e) Unless required under the terms of the Subject Lease, Grantor shall not terminate, modify or surrender the Subject Lease without the prior written consent of Beneficiary (which, in the case of any proposed termination or surrender, may be granted or withheld in Beneficiary’s sole and absolute discretion and, in the case of any other modification, may be granted or withheld in Beneficiary’s reasonable discretion), and any such attempted termination, modification or surrender without Beneficiary’s written consent shall be void;

(f) If the Subject Lease shall be rejected or disaffirmed by the lessor thereunder (or by any receiver, trustee, custodian or other party who succeeds to the rights of such lessor) pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or similar or successor law or right, Grantor covenants that it will not elect to treat the Subject Lease as terminated under 11 U.S.C. § 365(h) or any similar or successor law or right. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Beneficiary shall have the sole and exclusive right to make or refrain from making any such election, and Grantor agrees that any such election, if made by Grantor other than in accordance with this subsection, shall be void and of no force or effect;

(g) Grantor shall, within thirty (30) days after written request from Beneficiary, use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain from the lessor and deliver to Beneficiary a certificate setting forth the name of the tenant under the Subject Lease and stating that the Subject Lease is in full force and effect, is unmodified or, if the Subject Lease has been modified, the date of each modification (together with copies of each such modification), that no notice of termination thereof has been served on Grantor, stating that no default or event which with notice or lapse of time (or both) would become a default is existing under the Subject Lease (or if any such default or event is existing, specifying the nature of such default or event), stating the date to which rent has been paid, and containing such other statements and representations as may be reasonably requested by Beneficiary; provided, however, that so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, no more than one (1) such certificate shall be requested during any twelve (12) month period; and

(h) Grantor shall not at any time subordinate its interest in the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof to the Lien or interests of any mortgagee of the lessor’s fee interest in the Premises [except in accordance with Section 21 of the Subject Lease].

Section 4.2 No Merger. So long as any portion of the Indebtedness or the Obligations remain unpaid or unperformed and the Commitments have not expired or been terminated, the fee title to and the leasehold estate in the Premises subject to the Subject Lease shall not merge but shall always be kept separate and distinct notwithstanding the union of such estates in the lessor or Grantor, or in a third party, by purchase or otherwise. If Grantor acquires the fee title or any other estate, title or interest in the Premises, or any part thereof, the lien of this Mortgage shall attach to, cover and be a lien upon such acquired estate, title or interest and the same shall thereupon be and become a part of the Mortgaged Property with the same force and effect as if specifically encumbered herein. Grantor agrees to execute all instruments and documents that Beneficiary may reasonably require to ratify, confirm and further evidence the lien of this Mortgage on the acquired estate, title or interest. Furthermore, Grantor hereby appoints Beneficiary as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, all such instruments and documents in the name and on behalf of Grantor. This power, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable as long as any portion of the Indebtedness or the Obligations remains unpaid or unperformed and the Commitments have not expired or been terminated.

Section 4.3 Beneficiary as Lessee. If the Subject Lease shall be terminated prior to the natural expiration of its term due to default by Grantor or any tenant thereunder, and if, pursuant to the provisions of the Subject Lease, Beneficiary or its designee shall acquire from the lessor a new lease of the Premises, Grantor shall have no right, title or interest in or to such new lease or the leasehold estate created thereby, or renewal privileges therein contained.

Section 4.4 No Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Mortgage shall not constitute an assignment of the Subject Lease within the meaning of any provision thereof prohibiting its assignment and Beneficiary shall have no liability or obligation thereunder by reason of its acceptance of this Mortgage. Beneficiary shall be liable for the obligations of the tenant arising out of the Subject Lease for only that period of time for which Beneficiary is in possession of the Premises or has acquired, by foreclosure or otherwise, and is holding all of Grantor’s right, title and interest therein.

ARTICLE 5
DEFAULT AND FORECLOSURE

Section 5.1 Remedies. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Beneficiary may, at Beneficiary’s election, exercise any or all of the following rights, remedies and recourses:

(a) Acceleration. Subject to any provisions of the Loan Documents providing for the automatic acceleration of the Indebtedness upon the occurrence of certain Events of Default, declare the Indebtedness to be immediately due and payable, without further notice, presentment, protest, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of acceleration, demand or action of any nature

whatsoever (each of which hereby is expressly waived by Grantor), whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable.

(b) Entry on Mortgaged Property. [Enter] [Subject to the terms of the Subject Lease and applicable law, enter] the Mortgaged Property and take exclusive possession thereof and of all books, records and accounts relating thereto or located thereon. If Grantor remains in possession of the Mortgaged Property following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and without Beneficiary’s prior written consent, [subject to the terms of the Subject Lease and applicable law,] Beneficiary may invoke any legal remedies to dispossess Grantor.

(c) Operation of Mortgaged Property. Hold, lease, develop, manage, operate or otherwise use the Mortgaged Property upon such terms and conditions as Beneficiary may deem reasonable under the circumstances (including making such repairs, alterations, additions and improvements and taking other actions, from time to time, as Beneficiary deems necessary or desirable), [all in a manner consistent with the terms of the Subject Lease,] and apply all Rents and other amounts collected by Beneficiary in connection therewith in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.7.

(d) Foreclosure and Sale. Institute proceedings for the complete foreclosure of this Mortgage by judicial action or by power of sale, in which case the Mortgaged Property may be sold for cash or credit in one or more parcels as Beneficiary may determine [subject to the terms of the Subject Lease]. With respect to any notices required or permitted under the UCC, Grantor agrees that ten (10) days’ prior written notice shall be deemed commercially reasonable. At any such sale by virtue of any judicial proceedings, power of sale, or any other legal right, remedy or recourse, the title to and right of possession of any such property shall pass to the purchaser thereof, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor shall be completely and irrevocably divested of all of its right, title, interest, claim, equity, equity of redemption, and demand whatsoever, either at law or in equity, in and to the property sold, and such sale shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Grantor, and against all other Persons claiming or to claim the property sold or any part thereof, by, through or under Grantor. Beneficiary or any of the other Secured Parties may be a purchaser at such sale. If Beneficiary or such other Secured Party is the highest bidder, Beneficiary or such other Secured Party may credit the portion of the purchase price that would be distributed to Beneficiary or such other Secured Party against the Indebtedness in lieu of paying cash. In the event this Mortgage is foreclosed by judicial action, appraisement of the Mortgaged Property is waived.

(e) Receiver. Make application to a court of competent jurisdiction for, and obtain from such court as a matter of strict right and without notice to Grantor or regard to the adequacy of the Mortgaged Property for the repayment of the Indebtedness, the appointment of a receiver of the Mortgaged Property, and Grantor irrevocably consents to such appointment. Any such receiver shall have all the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases, including the full power to rent, maintain and otherwise operate the Mortgaged Property upon such terms as may be approved by the court, [and in a manner consistent with the terms of the Subject Lease,] and shall apply such Rents in accordance with the provisions of Section 5.7.

(f) Other. [Exercise] [Subject to the terms of the Subject lease, exercise] all other rights, remedies and recourses granted under the Loan Documents or otherwise available at law or in equity.

Section 5.2 Separate Sales. [The] [To the extent not prohibited under the Subject Lease, the] Mortgaged Property may be sold in one or more parcels and in such manner and order as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may elect. The right of sale arising out of any Event of Default shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.

Section 5.3 Remedies Cumulative, Concurrent and Nonexclusive. Beneficiary and the other Secured Parties shall have all rights, remedies and recourses granted in the Loan Documents and available at law or equity (including the UCC), which rights (a) shall be cumulative and concurrent, (b) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Grantor or others obligated under the Loan Documents, or against the Mortgaged Property, or against any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Beneficiary or such other Secured Party, as the case may be, (c) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, and the exercise or failure to exercise any of them shall not be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse, and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive. No action by Beneficiary or any other Secured Party in the enforcement of any rights, remedies or recourses under the Loan Documents or otherwise at law or equity shall be deemed to cure any Event of Default.

Section 5.4 Release of and Resort to Collateral. Beneficiary may release, regardless of consideration and without the necessity for any notice to or consent by the holder of any subordinate lien on the Mortgaged Property, any part of the Mortgaged Property without, as to the remainder, in any way impairing, affecting, subordinating or releasing the lien or security interest created in or evidenced by the Loan Documents or their status as a first and prior lien and security interest in and to the Mortgaged Property. For payment of the Indebtedness, Beneficiary may resort to any other security in such order and manner as Beneficiary may elect.

Section 5.5 Waiver of Redemption, Notice and Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Grantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives and releases (a) all benefit that might accrue to Grantor by virtue of any present or future statute of limitations or law or judicial decision exempting the Mortgaged Property from attachment, levy or sale on execution or providing for any stay of execution, exemption from civil process, redemption or extension of time for payment, (b) all notices of any Event of Default or of any election by Beneficiary to exercise or the actual exercise of any right, remedy or recourse provided for under the Loan Documents (except with respect to matters for which the Loan Documents specifically provide for the giving of notice to the Grantor and except with respect to any matter for which Beneficiary is required by applicable law to give notice), and (c) any right to a marshalling of assets or a sale in inverse order of alienation.

Section 5.6 Discontinuance of Proceedings. If Beneficiary or any other Secured Party shall have proceeded to invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted under the Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect to discontinue or abandon it for any reason, Beneficiary or such other Secured Party, as the case may be, shall have the unqualified right to do so and, in such an event, Grantor, Beneficiary and the other Secured Parties shall be restored

to their former positions with respect to the Indebtedness, the Obligations, the Loan Documents, the Mortgaged Property and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Beneficiary and the other Secured Parties shall continue as if the right, remedy or recourse had never been invoked, but no such discontinuance or abandonment shall waive any Event of Default which may then exist or the right of Beneficiary or any other Secured Party thereafter to exercise any right, remedy or recourse under the Loan Documents for such Event of Default.

Section 5.7 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale of, and the Rents and other amounts generated by the holding, leasing, management, operation or other use of the Mortgaged Property, shall be applied by Beneficiary (or a receiver, if one is appointed) in the following order unless otherwise required by applicable law:

(a) to the payment of the costs and expenses of taking possession of the Mortgaged Property and of holding, using, leasing, repairing, improving and selling the same, including, without limitation (1) trustee’s and receiver’s fees and expenses, including the repayment of the amounts evidenced by any receiver’s certificates, (2) court costs, (3) attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and expenses, [and] (4) costs of advertisement [and (5) the payment of all rent and other charges under the Subject Lease];

(b) to the payment of the Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations in such manner and order of preference as Beneficiary in its sole discretion may determine; and

Section 5.8 Occupancy After Foreclosure. Any sale of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof in accordance with Section 5.1(d) will divest all right, title and interest of Grantor in and to the property sold. Subject to applicable law [and the Subject Lease], any purchaser at a foreclosure sale will receive immediate possession of the property purchased. If Grantor retains possession of such property or any part thereof subsequent to such sale, Grantor will be considered a tenant at sufferance of the purchaser, and will, if Grantor remains in possession after demand to remove, be subject to eviction and removal, forcible or otherwise, with or without process of law.

Section 5.9 Additional Advances and Disbursements; Costs of Enforcement.

(a) [Upon] [To the extent not prohibited under the terms of the Subject Lease, upon] the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Beneficiary and each of the other Secured Parties shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure such Event of Default in the name and on behalf of Grantor. All sums advanced and expenses incurred at any time by Beneficiary or any other Secured Party under this Section 5.9, or otherwise under this Mortgage or any of the other Loan Documents or applicable law during the continuance of an Event of Default, shall bear interest from the date that such sum is advanced or expense incurred, to and including the date of reimbursement, computed at the default rate applicable to Base Rate Advances pursuant to Section 2.07(b) of the Credit Agreement, and all such sums, together with interest thereon, shall be secured by this Mortgage.

(b) Grantor shall pay all expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) of or incidental to the perfection and enforcement of this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, or the enforcement, compromise or settlement of the Indebtedness or any claim under this Mortgage and the other Loan Documents, and for the curing thereof, or for defending or asserting the rights and claims of Beneficiary in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise.

Section 5.10 No Mortgagee in Possession. Neither the enforcement of any of the remedies under this Article 5, the assignment of the Rents and Leases under Article 6, the security interests under Article 7, nor any other remedies afforded to Beneficiary under the Loan Documents, at law or in equity, shall cause Beneficiary or any other Secured Party to be deemed or construed to be a mortgagee in possession of the Mortgaged Property, to obligate Beneficiary or any other Secured Party to lease the Mortgaged Property or attempt to do so, or to take any action, incur any expense, or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability whatsoever under any of the Leases or otherwise.

ARTICLE 6
ASSIGNMENT OF RENTS AND LEASES

Section 6.1 Assignment. In furtherance of and in addition to the assignment made by Grantor in Section 2.1 of this Mortgage, Grantor hereby absolutely and unconditionally assigns, sells, transfers and conveys to Beneficiary all of Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to all Leases, whether now existing or hereafter entered into, and all of Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to all Rents. This assignment is an absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Grantor shall have a revocable license from Beneficiary to exercise all rights extended to the landlord under the Leases, including the right to receive and collect all Rents and to hold the Rents in trust for use in the payment and performance of the Obligations and to otherwise use the same. The foregoing license is granted subject to the conditional limitation that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, whether or not legal proceedings have commenced, and without regard to waste, adequacy of security for the Obligations or solvency of Grantor, the license herein granted shall expire and terminate, without notice to Grantor by Beneficiary (any such notice being hereby expressly waived by Grantor to the extent permitted by applicable law), but said license shall be deemed reinstated upon Beneficiary’s acceptance of any cure of such Event of Default.

Section 6.2 Perfection Upon Recordation. Grantor acknowledges that Beneficiary has taken all actions necessary to obtain, and that upon recordation of this Mortgage Beneficiary shall have, to the extent permitted under applicable law, a valid and fully perfected, first priority, present assignment of the Rents arising out of the Leases and all security for such Leases. Grantor acknowledges and agrees that upon recordation of this Mortgage, Beneficiary’s interest in the Rents shall be deemed to be fully perfected, “choate” and enforced as to Grantor and to the extent permitted under applicable law, all third parties, including, without limitation, any subsequently appointed trustee in any case under Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”), without the necessity of commencing a foreclosure action with respect to this Mortgage, making formal demand for the Rents, obtaining the appointment of a receiver or taking any other affirmative action.

Section 6.3 Bankruptcy Provisions. Without limitation of the absolute nature of the assignment of the Rents hereunder, Grantor and Beneficiary agree that (a) this Mortgage shall constitute a “security agreement” for purposes of Section 552(b) of the Bankruptcy Code, (b) the security interest created by this Mortgage extends to property of Grantor acquired before the commencement of a case in bankruptcy and to all amounts paid as Rents and (c) such security interest shall extend to all Rents acquired by the estate after the commencement of any case in bankruptcy.

Section 6.4 [FEE ONLY: No Merger of Estates. So long as any portion of the Indebtedness and the Obligations secured hereby remain unpaid and undischarged and the Commitments have not expired or been terminated, the fee and leasehold estates to the Mortgaged Property shall not merge, but shall remain separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of such estates either in Grantor, Beneficiary, any tenant or any third party by purchase or otherwise.]

ARTICLE 7
SECURITY AGREEMENT

Section 7.1 Security Interest. This Mortgage constitutes a “security agreement” on personal property within the meaning of the UCC and other applicable law and with respect to the Personalty, Fixtures, Leases, Rents, Deposit Accounts, Property Agreements, Intangible Property, Service Revenues, Tax Refunds, Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Awards. To this end, Grantor grants to Beneficiary a first and prior security interest in the Personalty, Fixtures, Leases, Rents, Deposit Accounts, Property Agreements, Intangible Property, Service Revenues, Tax Refunds, Proceeds, Insurance, Condemnation Awards and all other Mortgaged Property which is personal property to secure the payment of the Indebtedness and performance of the Obligations, and agrees that Beneficiary shall have all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC with respect to such property. Any notice of sale, disposition or other intended action by Beneficiary with respect to the Personalty, Fixtures, Leases, Rents, Deposit Accounts, Property Agreements, Intangible Property, Service Revenues, Tax Refunds, Proceeds, Insurance and Condemnation Awards sent to Grantor at least ten (10) days prior to any action under the UCC shall constitute reasonable notice to Grantor. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the terms of this Mortgage and the terms of the Security Agreement with respect to the collateral covered both therein and herein, the Security Agreement shall control and govern to the extent of any such conflict or inconsistency.

Section 7.2 Financing Statements. Grantor shall prepare and deliver to Beneficiary such financing statements, and shall execute and deliver to Beneficiary such other documents, instruments and further assurances, in each case in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Beneficiary, as Beneficiary may, from time to time, reasonably consider necessary to create, perfect and preserve Beneficiary’s security interest hereunder. Grantor hereby irrevocably authorizes Beneficiary to cause financing statements (and amendments thereto and continuations thereof) and any such documents, instruments and assurances to be recorded and filed, at such times and places as may be required or permitted by law to so create, perfect and preserve such security interest. Grantor represents and warrants to Beneficiary that Grantor’s jurisdiction of organization is the State of Delaware. After the date of this Mortgage, Grantor shall not change its name, type of organization, organizational identification number (if any),

jurisdiction of organization or location (within the meaning of the UCC) without giving at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to Beneficiary.

Beneficiary is the “Secured Party” and its name and mailing address from which information concerning the security interest granted herein may be obtained are also set forth in the preamble of this Mortgage immediately preceding Article 1. A statement describing the portion of the Mortgaged Property comprising the fixtures hereby secured is set forth in Section 1.1(d) of this Mortgage.

There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties.

Grantor and all other Persons shall be entitled to rely on releases, waivers, consents, approvals, notifications and other acts of Agent, without inquiry into the existence of required consents or approvals of the Secured Parties therefor.

(b) Beneficiary shall at all times be the same Person that is Agent under the Agency Documents. Written notice of resignation by Agent pursuant to the Agency Documents shall also constitute notice of resignation as Agent under this Mortgage. Removal of Agent pursuant to any provision of the Agency Documents shall also constitute removal as Agent under this Mortgage. Appointment of a successor Agent pursuant to the Agency Documents shall also constitute appointment of a successor Agent under this Mortgage. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent by a successor Agent under the Agency Documents, that successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent as the Beneficiary under this Mortgage, and the retiring or removed Agent shall promptly (i) assign and transfer to such successor Agent all of the retiring or removed Agent’s right, title and interest in and to this Mortgage and the Mortgaged Property, and (ii) execute and deliver to such successor Agent such assignments and amendments and take such other actions, as may be necessary or appropriate in connection with the assignment to such successor Agent of the liens and security interests created hereunder, whereupon such retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Mortgage.

1.1 Insurance.

1.1.1 Insurance Policies. (a) Grantor shall obtain and maintain, or cause to be maintained, insurance for Grantor and the Mortgaged Property providing at least the following coverages;

(i) insurance with respect to the Improvements and the personal property at the Mortgaged Property insuring against any peril now or hereafter included within the classification “All Risk” or “Special Perils” (including, without limitation, fire, lightning, windstorm, hail, terrorism and similar acts of sabotage, explosion, riot, riot attending a strike, civil commotion, vandalism, aircraft, vehicles and smoke), in each case (A) in an amount equal to 100% of the “Full Replacement Cost,” which for purposes of this Mortgage shall mean actual replacement value exclusive of costs of excavations, foundations, underground utilities and footings, with a waiver of depreciation; (B) in an amount sufficient so that no co-insurance penalties shall apply; (C) providing for no deductible in excess of $250,000 (except in the case of flood, earthquake and named windstorm coverages where the deductibles may be higher, but no higher than five percent (5%) of the Mortgaged Property’s total insurable value per loss); (D) at all times insuring against at least those hazards that are commonly insured against under a “special causes of loss” form of policy, as the same shall exist on the date hereof, and together with any increase in the scope of coverage provided under such form after the date hereof; and (E) providing coverage for contingent liability from “Operation of Building Laws,” “Demolition Costs,” and “Increased Cost of Construction Endorsements” together with an “Ordinance or Law Coverage” endorsement.

The “Full Replacement Cost” shall be re-determined from time to time (but not more frequently than once in any twenty-four (24) calendar months) at the request of Agent by an appraiser or contractor designated and paid by Grantor and approved by Agent, or by an engineer or appraiser in the regular employ of the insurer. After the first appraisal, additional appraisals may be based on construction cost indices customarily employed in the trade. No omission on the part of Agent to request any such ascertainment shall relieve Grantor of any of its obligations under this subsection;

(ii) commercial general liability insurance against all claims for personal injury, bodily injury, death or property damage occurring upon, in or about the Mortgaged Property, including “Dram Shop” or other liquor liability coverage if alcoholic beverages are sold, manufactured or distributed from the Mortgaged Property, such insurance (A) to be on the so-called “occurrence” form with a general aggregate limit of not less than $2,000,000 and a per occurrence limit of not less than $1,000,000, providing for no deductible or self insured retention in excess of $100,000; and (B) to cover at least the following hazards: (1) premises and operations; (2) products and

Sch. I-2

as an area having special flood hazards pursuant to the National Flood Insurance Act of 1968, the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973 or the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994, as each may be amended, or any successor law (the “Flood Insurance Acts”), flood hazard insurance in an amount equal to the maximum limit of coverage available for the Mortgaged Property under the Flood Insurance Acts (or such higher amount as Agent may reasonably determine based on the then current industry standards and what other lenders then require for properties similar to the Mortgaged Property located in the same flood zone as the Mortgaged Property);

(ix) earthquake, sinkhole and mine subsidence insurance, if required, in amounts equal to the probable maximum loss (net of applicable deductibles) of the Mortgaged Property as determined by Agent in its reasonable discretion and in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, provided that the insurance pursuant to this subsection (ix) shall be on terms consistent with the all risk insurance policy required under subsection 1.1.1(a)(i);

(xiii) such other insurance and in such amounts as Agent from time to time may reasonably request against such other insurable hazards which at the time are commonly insured against for property similar to the Mortgaged Property located in or around the region in which the Mortgaged Property is located.

(b) All insurance provided for in subsection 1.1 1 (a) hereof shall be obtained under valid and enforceable policies (the “Policies” or in the singular, the “Policy”), in such forms and, from time to time after the date hereof, in such amounts as may be reasonably satisfactory to Agent, issued by financially sound and responsible insurance companies authorized and admitted to do business in the state in which the Mortgaged Property is located and approved by Agent (which approval will not be unreasonably withheld). In the event the Borrower utilizes a “layered” insurance placement and five (5) or more insurers participate, sixty percent (60%) of the total limits will be provided by insurers that have a claims paying ability/financial strength rating of “A-” (or its equivalent) by Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services. The insurance companies must have a general policy rating of A- or better and a financial class of VII or better by A.M. Best Company, Inc. (each such insurer shall be referred to below as a “Qualified Insurer”). On the expiration dates of the Policies theretofore furnished to Agent pursuant to subsection 1 1.1 (a), Grantor shall furnish Agent with binders and Acord Form 28 Certificates for renewal Policies, and within ninety (90) days after renewal, Grantor

Sch. I-3

shall deliver certified copies of the Policies accompanied by evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agent that the premiums have been paid in a timely manner in accordance with the terms agreed to by either the insurance carrier or the premium finance company (the “Insurance Premiums”).

(d) All Policies of insurance provided for or contemplated by subsection 1.1.1(a), except for the Policy referenced in subsection 1.1.1(a)(v), shall name Agent and Grantor as the mortgagee/loss payee or additional insured, as applicable, and as their respective interests may appear, and in the case of any property damage, rent loss, business interruption, boiler and machinery, earthquake and flood insurance, shall contain a loss payable or mortgagee endorsement in favor of Agent and in a form reasonably acceptable to Agent providing that the loss thereunder shall be payable to Agent.

(e) All Policies of insurance provided for in subsection 1.1.1(a) shall contain clauses or endorsements to the effect that:

(i) no act or negligence of Grantor, or anyone acting for Grantor, or of any tenant under any lease or other occupant, or failure to comply with the provisions of any Policy which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of the insurance or any part thereof, shall in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the insurance insofar as Agent is concerned;

(ii) the Policy shall not be materially changed (other than to increase the coverage provided thereby), terminated or cancelled without at least 30 days’ written notice to Agent and any other party named therein as an insured; and

(iii) Agent shall not be liable for any Insurance Premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder.

(f) Grantor shall promptly furnish to Agent, if requested by Agent, a statement certified by Grantor or a Responsible Officer of Grantor of the amounts of insurance maintained in compliance herewith, of the risks covered by such insurance and of the insurance company or companies which carry such insurance and, if requested by Agent, verification of the adequacy of such insurance by an independent insurance broker or appraiser acceptable to Agent.

(g) If at any time Agent is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required hereunder is in full force and effect, Agent, after providing to Grantor written notice and three (3) Business Days to cure, shall have the right, without further notice to Grantor to take such action as Agent deems necessary to protect its interest in the Mortgaged Property, including, without limitation, the obtaining of such insurance coverage as Agent in its sole discretion deems appropriate, and all expenses incurred by Agent in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and keeping it in effect shall be paid by Grantor to Agent upon demand and until paid shall be secured by this Mortgage and shall bear interest at the default rate specified in the Credit Agreement.

Sch. I-4

(h) In the event of a foreclosure of this Mortgage or other transfer of title to the Mortgaged Property in extinguishment in whole or in part of the Obligations, all right, title and interest of Grantor in and to the Policies then in force concerning the Mortgaged Property and all proceeds payable thereunder shall thereupon vest exclusively in Agent or the purchaser at such foreclosure or other transferee in the event of such other transfer of title.

As an alternative to the Policies required to be maintained pursuant to the preceding provisions of this Section 1.1, Grantor will not be in default under this Section 1.1 if Grantor maintains (or causes to be maintained) Policies which (i) have coverages, deductibles and/or other related provisions other than those specified above and/or (ii) are provided by insurance companies not meeting the credit ratings requirements set forth above (any such Policy a “Non-Conforming Policy”), provided, that, prior to obtaining such Non-Conforming Policies (or permitting such Non-Conforming Policies to be obtained), Grantor shall have received Agent’s prior written consent thereto.

Section 1.2 Casualty and Condemnation.

1.2.1 Casualty. If the Mortgaged Property shall sustain the occurrence of damage or destruction to the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, by fire, flood, vandalism, windstorm, hurricane, earthquake, acts of terrorism or any other casualty (a “Casualty”) the cost of which to repair is reasonably expected to exceed $250,000, Grantor shall give prompt notice of such Casualty to Agent and, provided Agent makes or will make the Net Proceeds (hereinafter defined) available therefor (but irrespective of the sufficiency of the amount of such Net Proceeds for Restoration (as hereinafter defined)), shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute to completion the repair and restoration of the Mortgaged Property as nearly as reasonably possible to the condition the Mortgaged Property was in immediately prior to such Casualty (a “Restoration”) and otherwise in accordance with Section 1.3 below, it being understood, however, that Grantor shall not be obligated to restore the Mortgaged Property to the precise condition of the Mortgaged Property prior to such Casualty provided the Mortgaged Property is restored, to the extent practicable, to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty. For purposes herein, the term “Net Proceeds” when used with respect to any Condemnation Awards or Insurance proceeds, means the gross cash and non-cash proceeds from any Condemnation or Casualty remaining after payment of all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees of outside counsel, incurred in the collection of such gross proceeds. Grantor shall pay all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance, so long as Agent has made all Net Proceeds available to Grantor. Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, make proof of loss if not made promptly by Grantor and, subject to the terms hereof, participate in any claim recovery. Grantor shall provide Agent with a copy of any and all claims for which the proceeds are expected to exceed the Restoration Threshold (as defined below), and diligently and continuously pursue such claim with the insurer in a manner which shall maximize the amount and expedite the timing of such claim. Grantor shall provide Agent with a copy of all such documents related to the processing of such claim. Grantor shall continue to inform Agent as to the status of recovery of the Net Proceeds and shall provide Agent with all information reasonably requested by Agent in connection therewith. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary implied herein, in the event of a Casualty where the loss does not exceed five percent (5%) of the Asset Value for the applicable Mortgaged Property (the “Restoration Threshold”),

Sch. I-5

Grantor may settle and adjust such claim; provided that (a) no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (b) such adjustment is carried out in a commercially reasonable manner. In the event of a Casualty where the loss exceeds the Restoration Threshold or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Grantor may settle and adjust such claim only with the consent of Agent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and Agent shall have the opportunity to participate, at Grantor’s cost, in any such adjustments. Agent is hereby authorized and irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact, for Grantor coupled with an interest, to adjust or settle any claim(s) (i) if not adjusted or settled promptly by Grantor or (ii) if there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default. Notwithstanding any Casualty, Grantor shall continue to repay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Credit Agreement and in this Mortgage.

1.2.2 Condemnation. Grantor shall give Agent prompt notice of any actual taking or any taking threatened in writing by any nation or government, any state or other political subdivision thereof, and any Person exercising executive, legislative, judicial, regulatory or administrative functions of or pertaining to such government (“Governmental Authority”) of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof through eminent domain or otherwise (including, without limitation, any transfer made in lieu of or in anticipation of the exercise of such taking) (a “Condemnation”) and shall deliver to Agent a copy of any and all papers served on or served by Grantor in connection with such proceedings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary implied herein, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, in the event of a Condemnation where the amount of the taking does not exceed the Restoration Threshold, Grantor may settle and compromise such Condemnation; provided that the same is effected in a commercially reasonable manner. In the event of a Condemnation where the amount of the taking exceeds the Restoration Threshold or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Grantor may settle and compromise the Condemnation only with the consent of Agent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) and Agent shall have the opportunity to participate, at Grantor’s cost, in any litigation and settlement discussions in respect thereof and Grantor shall from time to time deliver to Agent all instruments reasonably requested by Agent to permit such participation. Agent is hereby authorized and irrevocably appointed as attorney-in-fact for Grantor coupled with an interest to sell or compromise or litigate if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Grantor shall, at its expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Agent, its attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such proceedings. Notwithstanding any Condemnation, Grantor shall continue to repay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances at the time and in the manner provided for its payment in the Credit Agreement. If the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof is taken by Governmental Authority, Grantor shall promptly commence and diligently prosecute the Restoration of the Mortgaged Property and otherwise comply with the provisions of Section 1.3 below. If the Mortgaged Property is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Agent of the Condemnation Award, Agent shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Notes shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Condemnation Award, or a portion thereof sufficient to repay the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances.

Sch. I-6

1.2.3 Casualty Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Grantor has the right to make, settle and collect upon claims with respect to business interruption and rental loss insurance, and Grantor may utilize any proceeds received with respect thereto as it determines is appropriate in the operation of its business. Provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if Agent shall receive any such proceeds, Agent shall remit such proceeds to Grantor within five (5) Business Days of Agent’s receipt thereof.

Section 1.3 Delivery of Net Proceeds.

1.3.1 Minor Casualty or Condemnation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if a Casualty or Condemnation has occurred to the Mortgaged Property and the costs of completing the Restoration shall be less than the Restoration Threshold, the Net Proceeds will be disbursed directly to Grantor to be used for the Restoration of the Mortgaged Property. Promptly after receipt of the Net Proceeds, Grantor shall commence and satisfactorily complete with due diligence the Restoration in accordance with the terms of this Mortgage. If any Net Proceeds are received by Grantor and may be retained by Grantor pursuant to the terms hereof, such Net Proceeds shall, until completion of the Restoration, be held in trust for Agent and shall be segregated from other funds of Grantor to be used to pay for the cost of Restoration in accordance with the terms hereof. To the extent that a Restoration is undertaken, Grantor shall have (A) commenced with such Restoration within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the date of the Casualty (or promptly after the applicable claim has been settled with the insurer(s) if such claim has not been settled within ninety (90) days after the date of the Casualty or Condemnation), (B) thereafter proceeded continuously and diligently with the Restoration and (C) completed such Restoration on or before the earliest to occur of (i) the date which is three (3) months prior to the Termination Date (as the same may be extended), (ii) a date which is eighteen (18) months after such Casualty or Condemnation, and (iii) such time as may be required under applicable law in order to repair and restore the Mortgaged Property as required hereby.

1.3.2 Major Casualty or Condemnation. (a) If a Casualty or Condemnation has occurred to the Mortgaged Property and the costs of completing the Restoration is equal to or greater than the Restoration Threshold, Agent shall make the Net Proceeds available for the Restoration, provided that each of the following conditions are met:

(i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

(ii) (A) in the event the Net Proceeds are insurance Proceeds, less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total floor area of the Improvements at the Mortgaged Property has been damaged, destroyed or rendered unusable as a result of such Casualty or (B) in the event the Net Proceeds are Condemnation Awards, less than ten percent (10%) of the land constituting the Mortgaged Property is taken, and access to the Improvements is not materially impaired;

(iii) Grantor shall commence the Restoration as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than one hundred and twenty (120) days after such

Sch. I-7

Casualty or Condemnation, whichever the case may be, occurs) and shall diligently pursue the same to satisfactory completion;

(iv) Agent shall be satisfied that all payments of principal and interest under the Notes will be paid during the period required for Restoration from (A) the Net Proceeds, or (B) other funds of Grantor (including business interruption proceeds);

(v) Agent shall be satisfied that the Restoration will be completed on or before the earliest to occur of (A) the date three (3) months prior to the Termination Date (as the same may be extended), (B) such time as may be required under applicable law in order to repair and restore the Mortgaged Property to the condition it was in immediately prior to such Casualty or to as nearly as possible the condition it was in immediately prior to such Condemnation, as applicable or (C) the expiration of the insurance coverage referred to in Section 1.1.1 (a)(iii) above;

(vi) the Mortgaged Property and the use thereof after the Restoration will be in compliance with and permitted under all applicable law;

(vii) the Restoration shall be done and completed by Grantor in an expeditious and diligent fashion and in compliance with all applicable law; and

(viii) such Casualty or Condemnation, as applicable, does not result in the loss of access to the Mortgaged Property or the related Improvements.

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein (including pursuant to Section 1.3.1), the Net Proceeds shall be paid directly to Agent and held by Agent in an interest-bearing account and, until disbursed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.3.2, shall constitute additional security for the Obligations. The Net Proceeds shall be disbursed by Agent to, or as directed by, Grantor from time to time during the course of the Restoration, upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agent that (A) all requirements set forth in Section 1.3.2(a) have been satisfied, (B) all materials installed and work and labor performed (except to the extent that they are to be paid for out of the requested disbursement) in connection with that portion of the Restoration for which such disbursement was requested have been paid for in full or will be paid for in full upon receipt of such funds, and (C) there exist no notices of pendency, stop orders, mechanic’s or material man’s liens or notices of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever on the Mortgaged Property arising out of the Restoration which have not either been fully bonded to the reasonable satisfaction of Agent and discharged of record or in the alternative fully insured to the satisfaction of Agent by the title company issuing the Mortgage Policy. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein or in any Loan Document, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, if any reciprocal easement agreement or ground lease requires Grantor to restore any portion of the Mortgaged Property or to make available to the counterparty insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Awards, then Agent shall release to Grantor any such insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Awards received by it for Grantor’s application to such use.

(c) All plans and specifications required in connection with any Restoration where the cost of which is reasonably expected to exceed the Restoration Threshold shall be

Sch. I-8

subject to prior approval of Agent and an independent architect selected by Agent (the “Casualty Consultant”), such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The plans and specifications shall require that the Restoration be completed in a first-class workmanlike manner at least equivalent to the quality and character of the original work in the Improvements (provided, however, that in the case of a partial Condemnation, the Restoration shall be done to the extent reasonably practicable after taking into account the consequences of such partial Condemnation), so that upon completion thereof, the Mortgaged Property shall be at least equal in value and general utility to the Mortgaged Property prior to the damage or destruction, it being understood, however, that Grantor shall not be obligated to restore the Mortgaged Property to the precise condition of the Mortgaged Property prior to such Casualty provided the Mortgaged Property is restored, to the extent practicable, to be of at least equal value and of substantially the same character as prior to the Casualty. Provided Agent makes or will make the Net Proceeds available therefor, Grantor shall restore all Improvements such that when they are fully restored and/or repaired, such Improvements and their contemplated use fully comply with all applicable material law. The identity of the contractors, subcontractors and material men engaged in any Restoration the cost of which is reasonably expected to exceed the Restoration Threshold, as well as the contracts under which they have been engaged, shall be subject to approval of Agent and the Casualty Consultant, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. All reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agent in connection with recovering, holding and advancing the Net Proceeds for the Restoration including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the Casualty Consultant’s fees and disbursements, shall be paid by Grantor.

(d) Except as set forth in Section 1.3.1, in no event shall Agent be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds in excess of an amount equal to the costs actually incurred from time to time for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, less the Casualty Retainage. The term “Casualty Retainage” shall mean, as to each contractor, subcontractor or material man engaged in the Restoration, an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of the Restoration, as certified by the Casualty Consultant, until the Restoration has been fifty percent (50%) completed, such fifty percent (50%) completion to be certified by the Casualty Consultant, it being understood that upon such 50% completion of such Restoration, such Casualty Retainage would be reduced to an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the costs actually incurred for work in place as part of such Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall in no event, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth above in this Section 1.3.2(d), be less than the amount actually held back by Grantor from contractors, subcontractors and material men engaged in the Restoration. The Casualty Retainage shall not be released until the Casualty Consultant certifies to Agent that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.3.2(d) and that all material approvals necessary for the re-occupancy and use of the Mortgaged Property have been obtained from all appropriate Governmental Authorities, and Agent receives evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agent that the costs of the Restoration have been paid in full or will be paid in full out of the Casualty Retainage; provided, however, that Agent will release the portion of the Casualty Retainage being held with respect to any contractor, subcontractor or material man engaged in the Restoration as of the date upon which the Casualty Consultant certifies to Agent that the contractor, subcontractor or material man has satisfactorily completed all work and has supplied all materials in accordance with the provisions of the contractor’s, subcontractor’s or material man’s contract, the contractor,

Sch. I-9

subcontractor or material man delivers the lien waivers and evidence of payment in full of all sums due to the contractor, subcontractor or material man as may be reasonably requested by Agent or by the title company issuing the Mortgage Policy, and, if reasonably required by Agent, Agent receives an endorsement to the Mortgage Policy insuring the continued priority of the lien of the Mortgage and evidence of payment of any premium payable for such endorsement. If required by Agent, the release of any such portion of the Casualty Retainage shall be approved by the surety company, if any, which has issued a payment or performance bond with respect to the contractor, subcontractor or material man. This clause (d) shall only apply to Casualties or Condemnations where the cost of the Restoration is reasonably expected to exceed the Restoration Threshold.

(e) Agent shall not be obligated to make disbursements of the Net Proceeds more frequently than twice every calendar month.

(f) If at any time the Net Proceeds or the undisbursed balance thereof shall not, in the reasonable opinion of Agent in consultation with the Casualty Consultant, be sufficient to pay in full the balance of the costs which are estimated by the Casualty Consultant to be incurred in connection with the completion of the Restoration, Grantor shall either (1) pay the deficiency (the “Net Proceeds Deficiency”) or (2) deposit the Net Proceeds Deficiency with Agent before any further disbursement of the Net Proceeds shall be made. The Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Agent shall be held by Agent in the interest-bearing account described in Section 1.3.2(b) above and shall be disbursed for costs actually incurred in connection with the Restoration on the same conditions applicable to the disbursement of the Net Proceeds, and until so disbursed pursuant to this Section 1.3.2 shall constitute additional security for the Obligations.

(g) The excess, if any, of the Net Proceeds and the remaining balance, if any, of the Net Proceeds Deficiency deposited with Agent after the Casualty Consultant certifies to Agent that the Restoration has been completed in accordance with the provisions of this Section 1.3.2, and the receipt by Agent of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agent that all costs incurred in connection with the Restoration have been paid in full, shall be remitted by Agent to Grantor, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and shall be continuing under any of the Loan Documents.

(h) All Net Proceeds not required (i) to be made available for the Restoration or (ii) to be returned to Grantor as excess Net Proceeds pursuant to Section 1.3.2(g), other than those which Grantor is entitled to receive and/or collect directly in accordance herewith, may be retained and applied by Agent toward the payment of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Advances, whether or not then due and payable, in such order, priority and proportions as Agent in its sole discretion shall deem proper, or, at the discretion of Agent, the same may be paid, either in whole or in part, to Grantor for such purposes as Agent shall designate.

Section 2.3 Incorporation By Reference. All representations, warranties, covenants, conditions and agreements contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as same may be modified, renewed, substituted or extended are hereby made a part of this Assignment to the same extent and with the same force as if fully set forth herein.

automatically be revoked, and Assignee shall immediately be entitled to possession of all Rents and sums due under any Lease Guaranties, whether or not Assignee enters upon or takes control of the Property. In addition, so long as an Event of Default exists, Assignee may, at its option, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, without waiving such Event of Default, without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Credit Agreement, either in person or by agent, nominee or attorney, with or without bringing any action or proceeding, or by a receiver appointed by a court, dispossess Assignor and its agents and servants from the Property, without liability for trespass, damages or otherwise and exclude Assignor and its agents or servants wholly therefrom and take possession of the Property and all books, records and accounts relating thereto and have, hold, manage, lease and operate the Property on such terms and for such period of time as Assignee may deem proper and either with or without taking possession of the Property in its own name, demand, sue for or otherwise collect and receive all Rents and sums due under all Lease Guaranties, including those past due and unpaid with full power to make from time to time all alterations, renovations, repairs or replacements thereto or thereof as Assignee may deem proper and may apply the Rents and sums received pursuant to any Lease Guaranties to the payment of the following in such order and proportion as Assignee in its reasonable discretion may determine, any law, custom or use to the contrary notwithstanding: (a) all reasonable expenses of managing and securing the Property, including, without being limited thereto, the salaries, fees and wages of a managing agent and such other employees or agents as Assignee may deem necessary or desirable and all expenses of operating and maintaining the Property, including, without being limited thereto, all taxes, charges, claims, assessments, water charges, sewer rents and any other liens, and premiums for all insurance which Assignee may deem necessary or desirable, and the cost of all alterations, renovations, repairs or replacements, and all expenses incident to taking and retaining possession of the Property; and (b) the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Credit Agreement, together with all costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Assignee, at its option, may (i) complete any construction on the Property in such manner and form as Assignee deems advisable, (ii) exercise all rights and powers of Assignor, including, without limitation, the right to negotiate, execute, cancel, enforce or modify any Leases, obtain and evict tenants, and demand, sue for, collect and receive all Rents from the Property and all sums due under any Lease Guaranties, (iii) require Assignor to pay monthly in advance to Assignee, or any receiver appointed to collect the Rents, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupancy of such part of the Property as may be in possession of Assignor or (iv) require Assignor to vacate and surrender possession of the Property to Assignee or to such receiver and, in default thereof, Assignor may be evicted by summary proceedings or otherwise.

Section 3.2 Other Remedies. Nothing contained in this Assignment and no act done or omitted by Assignee pursuant to the power and rights granted to Assignee hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver by Assignee of its rights and remedies under the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and this Assignment is made and accepted without prejudice to any of the rights and remedies possessed by Assignee under the terms thereof. The right of Assignee to collect the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Credit Agreement and to enforce any other security therefor held by it may be exercised by Assignee either prior to, simultaneously with, or subsequent to any action taken by it hereunder. Assignor hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably waives any and all rights to assert any setoff, counterclaim or crossclaim of any

nature whatsoever with respect to the obligations of Assignor under this Assignment, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or otherwise with respect to the Loan in any action or proceeding brought by Assignee to collect same, or any portion thereof, or to enforce and realize upon the lien and security interest created by this Assignment, the Credit Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents (provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed a waiver of Assignor’s right to assert any compulsory counterclaim if such counterclaim is compelled under local law or rule of procedure, nor shall the foregoing be deemed a waiver of Assignor’s right to assert any claim which would constitute a defense, setoff, counterclaim or crossclaim of any nature whatsoever against Assignee in any separate action or proceeding).

Section 3.3 Other Security. Assignee may take or release other security for the payment of the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Credit Agreement, may release any party primarily or secondarily liable therefor and may apply any other security held by it to the reduction or satisfaction of the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Credit Agreement without prejudice to any of its rights under this Assignment.

Section 3.4 Non-Waiver. The exercise by Assignee of the option granted it in Section 3.1 of this Assignment and the collection of the Rents and sums due under the Lease Guaranties and the application thereof as herein provided shall not be considered a waiver of any default by Assignor under the Credit Agreement, the Leases, this Assignment or the other Loan Documents. The failure of Assignee to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Assignment. Assignor shall not be relieved of Assignor’s obligations hereunder by reason of (a) the failure of Assignee to comply with any request of Assignor or any other party to take any action to enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, (b) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property, or (c) any agreement or stipulation by Assignee extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of this Assignment, the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

Assignee may take any action to recover the Loan Parties’ Obligations under the Credit Agreement, or any portion thereof or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Assignee thereafter to enforce its rights under this Assignment. The rights of Assignee under this Assignment shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Assignee shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision.

Section 3.5 Bankruptcy. (a) Upon or at any time after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Assignee shall have the right to proceed in its own name or in the name of Assignor in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of any Lease, including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of Assignor, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case in respect of the lessee under such Lease under the Bankruptcy Code.

(b) If there shall be filed by or against Assignor a petition under the Bankruptcy Code, and Assignor, as lessor under any Lease, shall determine to reject such Lease pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, then Assignor shall give Assignee not less than ten (10)

Campus Crest\[Property Name]

Assignee shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Assignor resulting from Assignee’s failure to let the Property after an Event of Default or from any other act or omission of Assignee in managing the Property after an Event of Default unless such loss is caused by the willful misconduct and bad faith of Assignee or its agents. Assignee shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under the Leases or any Lease Guaranties or under or by reason of this Assignment and Assignor shall, and hereby agrees to, indemnify Assignee for, and to hold Assignee harmless prior to the time that Assignee or any Affiliate, nominee or designee of Assignee becomes the owner of the Property or otherwise takes possession of the Property, following an Event of Default, from, any and all liability, loss or damage which may or might be incurred under the Leases, any Lease Guaranties or under or by reason of this Assignment and from any and all claims and demands whatsoever, including the defense of any such claims or demands which may be asserted against Assignee by reason of any alleged obligations and undertakings on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in the Leases or any Lease Guaranties. Should Assignee incur any such liability, the amount thereof, including costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees, shall be secured by this Assignment and the other Loan Documents and Assignor shall reimburse Assignee therefor within ten (10) Business Days of written request by Assignee and upon the failure of Assignor so to do Assignee may, at its option, declare all sums secured by this Assignment and the other Loan Documents immediately due and payable. This Assignment shall not operate to place any obligation or liability for the control, care, management or repair of the Property upon Assignee, nor for the carrying out of any of the terms and conditions of the Leases or any Lease Guaranties; nor shall it operate to make Assignee responsible or liable for any waste committed on the Property by the tenants or any other parties, or for any dangerous or defective condition of the Property including, without limitation, the presence of any Hazardous Materials, or for any negligence in the management, upkeep, repair or control of the Property resulting in loss or injury or death to any tenant, licensee, employee or stranger other than any of the foregoing arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Assignee or its agents.

Assignee, no liability shall be asserted or enforced against Assignee, all such liability being expressly waived and released by Assignor.

EXHIBIT K to the
CREDIT AGREEMENT

FORM OF MANAGER’S
SUBORDINATION

(See Attached)

MANAGER’S CONSENT AND SUBORDINATION
OF MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

THIS MANAGER’S CONSENT AND SUBORDINATION OF MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of October 19, 2010, by and among THE GROVE STUDENT PROPERTIES, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company (“Manager”), having an address at 2100 Rexford Rd, Suite 414, Charlotte, North Carolina 28211, Attn: Chief Financial Officer, CAMPUS CREST COMMUNITIES OPERATING PARTNERSHIP, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Borrower”), having an address at 2100 Rexford Rd, Suite 414, Charlotte, North Carolina 28211, Attn: Chief Financial Officer, the Owners (defined below), and CITIBANK, N.A., a national banking association, as collateral agent (in such capacity, “Agent”) for the Secured Parties as defined in the Credit Agreement (defined below), having an address at 1615 Brett Road, New Castle, Delaware 19720 (Agent, together with its successors and assigns, “Lender”).

W i t n e s s e t h:

Whereas, Campus Crest at Lubbock, LP, Campus Crest at Stephenville, LP, Campus Crest at San Marcos, LP, Campus Crest at Waco, LP, Campus Crest at Wichita Falls, LP, each a Delaware limited partnership, Campus Crest at Cheney, LLC, Campus Crest at Jonesboro, LLC, Campus Crest at Murfreesboro, LLC, Campus Crest at Troy, LLC, Campus Crest at Wichita, LLC, Campus Crest at Mobile Phase II, LLC, and Campus Crest at Jacksonville, AL, LLC, each a Delaware limited liability company (each an “Owner,” and collectively, the “Owners”) hold title to a fee simple or a leasehold interest, as applicable, in and to the Borrowing Base Assets (as defined in the Credit Agreement with Agent and others dated as of even date herewith, as the same may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time (the “Credit Agreement”), among Borrower, the guarantors listed therein, Agent and the other Secured Parties identified therein) more particularly described on Exhibit A hereof (together with all easements, rights of way and other property rights appurtenant thereto, all equipment, fixtures, furniture and other personal property attached to, located at or otherwise used in connection with the foregoing and owned by the Owners, each a “Facility,” and, collectively, the “Facilities”);

Whereas, pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Secured Parties have agreed to make loans and extend credit (collectively, the “Loan”) to Borrower, and the other Loan Parties have agreed to guaranty payment of the Loan.

Whereas, each Owner is a Subsidiary Guarantor under the Credit Agreement;

Whereas, Manager has agreed to manage the Facilities on behalf of each respective Owner pursuant to a Management Agreement, between Manager and such Owner (as amended, modified or supplemented and in effect from time to time, each a “Management Agreement” and, collectively, the “Management Agreements”); and

Whereas, capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, to induce the Secured Parties to make the Loan and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

1. Representations of Manager. Manager warrants and represents to Lender the following:

(a) None of the Management Agreements have been assigned, modified, amended or supplemented. Each Management Agreement is in full force and effect, and constitutes the entire agreement between Manager and each Owner with respect to the management of the applicable Facility. A true, correct and complete copy of each of the Management Agreements together with any submanagement agreements (and any amendments, modifications or supplements thereto) is attached hereto as Exhibit B.

(b) Each Management Agreement constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of Manager, enforceable against Manager in accordance with its respective terms, subject to general principles of equity and laws affecting the rights and remedies of debtors and creditors generally.

(c) To Manager’s knowledge, the Owners are not in default in the performance of the terms and provisions of their respective Management Agreement, nor is there now any condition which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, will become a default.

(d) There are no contracts, agreements or commitments between Borrower, or the Owners and Manager in respect of the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents, or the management of the Facilities, except as provided in the Management Agreements.

(e) Manager is not in default under the terms and provisions of any of the Management Agreements, nor is there now any condition which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, will become a default. No claim or dispute exists between Borrower or the Owners and Manager with respect to any of the Management Agreements.

(f) There is no current assignment of, or encumbrance on, Manager’s interest under any of the Management Agreements.

(g) Manager does not have any option or preferential right to purchase all or any part of, and does not have any rights, title or interest with respect to any of the Facilities other than as manager under the applicable Management Agreement.

(h) As of the date hereof, all fees, sums, charges, costs, expenses and other amounts due under the Management Agreements have been currently paid in accordance with the terms thereof and no such amounts remain due and payable as of the date hereof (except that the foregoing shall not apply to reimbursements required to be paid to the Manager under the Management Agreements which are not delinquent as of the date hereof).

2. Manager’s Covenants.

A. Manager hereby consents and agrees to each and every one of the following covenants and agreements for the benefit of Lender:

(a) Performance and Notice of Default. Manager agrees that it will (i) promptly perform and observe in all material respects all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed by it under each of the Management Agreements in

accordance with the terms of each such Management Agreement and (ii) promptly notify Lender of any material default under any of the Management Agreements of which Manager becomes aware.

(b) No Termination of Management Agreements. Manager will not terminate its management of any of the Facilities without first providing Lender with at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such intention.

(c) Subordination of the Management Agreements to Liens of Mortgages. Any and all liens, rights and interests, including, without limitation, all fees payable and all costs and expenses reimbursable to Manager or any submanager (whether choate or inchoate and including, without limitation, all mechanic’s and materialman’s liens under applicable law) owned, claimed or held, or to be owned, claimed or held, by Manager in and to any of the Facilities (collectively, the “Subordinated Obligations”), are and shall be in all respects subordinate and inferior to the liens and security interests (i) created or to be created for the benefit of the Secured Parties and securing the repayment of the Obligations of the Loan Parties under the Loan Documents and including, without limitation, those created under and by virtue of the Mortgages, covering, among other things, the Facilities, and (ii) filed or to be filed of record in the public records maintained for the recording of mortgages or deeds of trust in the county and State in which each of the Facilities is located, and all renewals and extensions thereof (collectively, the “Senior Obligations”). Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the foregoing subordination shall not affect the right of Manager to receive and use all fees and reimbursements paid or payable to it under the Management Agreements or to receive in full all accrued and unpaid management or submanagement fees, leasing commissions or other amounts due Manager or any submanager by the Owners pursuant to the Management Agreements.

(d) Insurance. Manager shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, insurance for the Facilities to the extent required under, but subject to the terms of the applicable Management Agreements. The foregoing shall not be construed to limit or modify any of the insurance requirements set forth in the Loan Documents.

(e) Condemnation Awards and Insurance Proceeds. Notwithstanding anything contained in the Management Agreements to the contrary, any proceeds of insurance and condemnation awards received by Manager shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of the Loan Documents.

(f) Lender’s Right to Terminate. Upon (1) the acceleration of the Debt evidenced by the Notes or the termination of the Commitments or the commencement of any action by Lender to enforce any of its rights or remedies to realize upon any of the collateral encumbered by the Mortgages in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents (including, without being limited to, the commencement of any foreclosure action (by judicial action or power of sale), the making of any application for the appointment of a receiver or Lender exercising any right to take possession or control of any of the Facilities) or (2) the occurrence and continuation of the commission by Manager of any material act which would permit termination of any of the Management Agreements in accordance with Section 5.01 thereof (subject to any applicable notice, grace and cure periods provided in the Management Agreements), Lender shall have the right to terminate any or all of the Management Agreements by giving the Owners and Manager at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice; provided, however, that if Lender succeeds to ownership of the Facilities, Lender’s right to terminate the Management Agreements shall expire ninety (90) days after the date on which Lender takes

ownership of the Facilities. The Owners may, to the extent permitted under the Management Agreements, from time to time appoint a successor manager to manage the Facilities in accordance with the provisions of the Management Agreements with Lender’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Manager agrees not to look to Lender for payment of any accrued but unpaid fees or other amounts due to Manager under the Management Agreements, or any fees or other amounts due to Manager under the Management Agreements for the period from and after the effective date of such termination. Upon any termination of the Management Agreements, Manager shall take such measures as set forth in the Management Agreements to achieve an orderly transition of operations to the new manager of the Facilities, including delivery of all books, records, and documents relating to the Facilities and its management. Except as expressly provided herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way limit the rights or remedies of Manager against the Owners or Borrower as a result of any termination of any of the Management Agreements.

(g) No Amendments to the Management Agreements. Manager will not amend or modify any of the Management Agreements in any material respect without the prior written consent of Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event Manager fails to secure such approval, the Management Agreements shall, for the purposes of Manager’s obligations to Lender pursuant to this Agreement, be deemed not to have been modified by such amendment.

(h) Limitation of Liens. Any Lien upon any of the Facilities, except Permitted Liens or as otherwise agreed to in writing by Lender, by Manager shall be expressly subordinate and subject to the Senior Obligations.

(i) Delivery of Notices, Information, etc. Manager shall promptly deliver to Lender all material written notices received by Manager from any governmental authority, regulator, citizens’ groups or private litigant relating to any of the Facilities.

(j) Further Assurances. Manager shall (i) execute such affidavits and certificates as Lender shall reasonably require to further evidence the agreements herein contained, (ii) upon Lender’s request and at the Owners’ expense, deliver to Lender copies of all information that the Owners are entitled to receive under the Management Agreements, and (iii) cooperate with Lender’s representatives in any inspection of the Facilities to the extent Lender is permitted to enter and inspect the Facilities in accordance with the Mortgages and/or the Credit Agreement.

(k) Assignment of Rents and Leases. Manager acknowledges that, in connection with the Loan, each Owner is executing and delivering to Lender an Assignment of Leases and Rents (as the same may be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, each, an “Assignment of Leases” and collectively, the “Assignments of Leases”) dated as of the date hereof, collaterally assigning to Lender, among other things, all of such Owner’s right, title and interest in and to the Leases and the Rents (as such terms are defined in the Assignment of Leases) from its respective Facility (including, without limitation, any of such Owner’s rights in the security deposits thereunder (to the extent permitted by applicable law)). Manager further agrees that it will not be entitled to receive any fees from security deposits or be entitled in any way to any security deposits with respect to any portion of any of the Facilities or be permitted to sue for any security deposits for any purpose, subject to the provisions of the Loan Documents. Manager further agrees that it will deposit all of the Rents, Service Revenues, Tax Refunds and the Insurance and Condemnation Awards (as

such terms are defined in the Mortgages) in accordance with the Loan Documents. A copy of the relevant provisions of the Loan Documents is attached hereto as Exhibit C.

(l) No Joint Venture. The relationship of Lender to Borrower is one of a creditor to a debtor, and Lender is not a joint venturer or partner of Borrower or any Owner.

(m) Lender Not Obligated Under Management Agreements. Manager further agrees that nothing herein shall impose upon Lender any obligation for payment or performance in favor of Manager, unless Lender has elected to assert the Owners’ rights under the Management Agreements with respect the Facilities in which case Lender agrees to pay Manager the management fees and all other sums due Manager under the terms of the Management Agreements from and after the effective date of Lender’s notice of such election to Manager, and Manager shall continue performance on Lender’s behalf in accordance with the terms of the Management Agreements with respect to the Facilities as designated by Lender; provided, however, except as expressly provided herein, nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way modify the rights or remedies of Manager against the Owners or Borrower under the terms of the Management Agreements.

(n) Secured Parties’ Reliance on Representations. Manager has executed this Agreement for the purpose of inducing the Secured Parties to make the Loan and with full knowledge that the Secured Parties shall rely upon the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained when making the Loan and that but for this instrument and the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained, the Secured Parties would not take such actions.

Subject to the subordination provision of Section 2(c), the termination of the Management Agreements by Manager upon its failure to receive any compensation or reimbursement provided for in the Management Agreements shall not result in any termination of Manager’s right to receive any accrued but unpaid leasing commissions, management fees, reimbursable expenses or other amounts payable by the Owners to Manager under the Management Agreements (including any applicable termination fees).

B. If any payment or distribution or security or proceeds thereof are received by Manager upon or with respect to any of the Subordinated Obligations contrary to the provisions of this Agreement, Manager will promptly deliver the same to Lender in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of Manager where necessary) for application to the Senior Obligations (including, without limitation, Post Petition Interest), and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by Manager as property of Lender. In the event of the failure of Manager to make any such endorsement or assignment, Manager, or any of its officers or employees, is hereby irrevocably authorized to make the same.

C. Manager will not assign or transfer to others any claim which it has or may hereafter have against Borrower or any Owner in respect of any of the Subordinated Obligations while any of the Senior Obligations remain unpaid, unless such assignment or transfer is made expressly subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

D. Lender, at any time and from time to time, may enter into such agreement or agreements with Borrower and/or the Owners as Lender may deem proper extending the time of payment of or renewing or otherwise altering the terms of all or any of the Senior Obligations without notice to Manager and without in any way impairing or affecting the obligations of Manager hereunder.

E. Lender shall not be prejudiced in its right to enforce this Agreement in respect of any of the Subordinated Obligations owing to Manager by any act or failure to act on the part of any Owner or anyone in custody of any Owner’s assets or property.

3. No Assignment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Management Agreements, (i) the Owners may not assign any of the Management Agreements without the prior written consent of Lender except to the extent permitted by such Management Agreement and the Loan Documents and (ii) Manager may not assign any of the Management Agreements without the prior written consent of Lender.

4. [Intentionally Omitted].

5. No Waiver. No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, and no course of dealing with respect to, any power, remedy or right under this Agreement by Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof by Lender preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power, remedy or right. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by applicable law and/or any of the other Loan Documents.

6. Notice. All notices, consents, approvals and requests required or permitted hereunder shall be mailed, or delivered by hand or by overnight courier service to the respective parties hereto at the following addresses:

THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Pledge Agreement”), dated as of October 19, 2010, is by and between the “Pledgor” parties set forth on the signature pages hereto (collectively, the “Initial Pledgors”, and together with any domestic Subsidiaries of any Initial Pledgor which become parties to this Pledge Agreement by executing a Supplement hereto in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto, the “Pledgors”) and Citibank, N.A., in its capacity as Administrative Agent (with its successors and permitted assigns in such capacity, the “Administrative Agent”) for the “Lender Parties” (as defined below) party to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of the date hereof among Campus Crest Communities Operating Partnership, LP (the “Borrower”), the guarantors named therein (the “Guarantors”) the institutions from time to time party thereto as Lender Parties (the “Lender Parties”), the Swing Line Bank (as defined therein), Citibank, N.A., as Collateral Agent, the initial issuer of letters of credit and the Administrative Agent (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, (a) the Borrower and Guarantors are party to the Credit Agreement, pursuant to which the Lender Parties have agreed, subject to certain conditions precedent, to make Loans and extend other financial accommodations to the Borrower from time to time, and (b) each Pledgor is directly or indirectly wholly owned by Borrower;

WHEREAS, in order to secure the prompt and complete payment, observance and performance of (a) all of each of the Loan Parties’ respective Obligations under the Loan Documents and (b) all of each Pledgor’s obligations and liabilities hereunder and in connection herewith (all such Obligations and such obligations and liabilities hereunder of such Pledgor being hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Liabilities”), the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties and the other holders (each individually a “Secured Party”, and collectively, the “Secured Parties”) have required, as a condition, among others, to entering into the Credit Agreement, that each Pledgor execute and deliver this Pledge Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and of any financial accommodations or extensions of credit (including, without limitation, any loan or advance by renewal, refinancing or extension of the agreements described hereinabove or otherwise) heretofore, now or hereafter made to or for the benefit of each Pledgor pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any other agreement, instrument or document executed pursuant to or in connection therewith, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency

Pledge Agreement

of which are hereby acknowledged, each Pledgor and the Administrative Agent hereby agree as follows:

1. Defined Terms.

(a) Unless otherwise defined herein, all terms defined in Article 8 and Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code from time to time in effect in the State of New York (the “Uniform Commercial Code”) are used herein as defined therein.

(b) The words “hereby,” “hereof,” “herein” and “hereunder” and words of like import when used in this Pledge Agreement shall refer to this Pledge Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Pledge Agreement. Section references herein are to this Pledge Agreement unless otherwise specified.

(c) All terms defined in this Pledge Agreement in the singular shall have comparable meanings when used in the plural, and vice versa, unless otherwise specified.

2. Pledge. Each Pledgor pledges to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and each Pledgor grants, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, a security interest in the following (collectively, the “Pledged Collateral”):

(a) The Equity Interests described in Exhibit A hereto, and the certificates representing such Equity Interests, all options and warrants for the purchase of shares of such Equity Interests held in the name of such Pledgor (all of said Equity Interests, options and warrants, and all Equity Interests held in the name of such Pledgor as a result of the exercise of such options or warrants, being hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Pledged Interests”), herewith delivered to the Administrative Agent accompanied by powers (with respect to all certificated Pledged Interests) in the form of Exhibit B hereto and made a part hereof (the “Powers”) duly executed in blank, and all dividends, distribution, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of, or in exchange for, any or all of the Pledged Interests;

(b) All right, title and interest of any Pledgor as a member of any limited liability company (“LLC”) or a partner in any limited partnership (“LP”) and all right, title and interest of any Pledgor in, to and under an LLC or LP operating or partnership agreement to which it is a party, each described in Exhibit A hereto (the “Pledged LLC/LP Interests”);

(c) All additional Equity Interests related to the Pledged Interests and from time to time acquired by such Pledgor in any manner (any such additional Equity Interests shall constitute part of the Pledged Interests and the Administrative Agent is irrevocably authorized to amend Exhibit A from time to time to reflect such additional shares), and all options, warrants, dividends, distributions, cash, instruments and other rights and options from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of such shares;

(d) The indebtedness of each issuer of the Pledged LLC/LP Interests to such Pledgor referred to in Exhibit C attached hereto (the “Pledged Debt”) and the instruments evidencing such Pledged Debt (if any), duly endorsed and in transferable form, all payments of

Pledge Agreement

-2-

principal thereof and interest thereon, due and to become due thereunder, and all books and records applicable thereto;

(e) Intentionally Deleted;

(f) The property and interests in property described in Section 4 below with respect to such Pledgor; and

(g) All proceeds of the foregoing.

3. Security for Obligations. The Pledged Collateral of each Pledgor secures the prompt payment, performance and observance of the Liabilities of such Pledgor.

4. Pledged Collateral Adjustments. If, during the term of this Pledge Agreement:

(a) Any stock or other equity dividend, distribution, reclassification, readjustment or other change is declared or made in the capital structure of any issuer of Pledged Interests, or any option included within the Pledged Collateral is exercised, or both, or

(b) Any subscription warrants or any other rights or options shall be issued to any Pledgor in connection with the Pledged Collateral, or

then all new, substituted and additional shares, warrants, rights, options, notes or other securities, issued by reason of any of the foregoing, shall be promptly delivered to and held by the Administrative Agent under the terms of this Pledge Agreement and shall constitute Pledged Collateral hereunder (provided that any Pledged Debt shall only be required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent upon its request therefor); provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section 4 shall be deemed to permit any stock or other equity dividend or distribution, issuance of additional stock, interests, warrants, rights or options, reclassification, readjustment or other change in the capital structure of any issuer of Pledged Interests which is prohibited in the Credit Agreement.

5. Subsequent Changes Affecting Pledged Collateral.

(a) Each Pledgor represents and warrants that it has made its own arrangements for keeping informed of changes or potential changes affecting the Pledged Collateral (including, but not limited to, rights to convert, rights to subscribe, payment of dividends, distributions, reorganization or other exchanges, tender offers and voting rights), and each Pledgor agrees that, subject to Section 22, none of the Secured Parties shall have any obligation to inform such Pledgor of any such changes or potential changes or to take any action or omit to take any action with respect thereto. The Administrative Agent may, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, without notice and at its option, transfer or register the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof into its or its nominee’s name with or without any indication that such Pledged Collateral is subject to the security interest

Pledge Agreement

-3-

hereunder, and each Pledgor will cause each issuer of Pledged Interests and each obligor with respect to Pledged Debt to cooperate with the Administrative Agent in effecting any such transfer or registration. In addition, the Administrative Agent may at any time exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing Pledged Collateral for certificates or instruments of smaller or larger denominations and such Pledgor will cause each issuer of Pledged Interests and each obligor with respect to Pledged Debt to cooperate with the Administrative Agent in effecting any such exchange.

(b) In the case of each Pledgor member of an LLC or partner of an LP, such Pledgor hereby consents to the extent required by the applicable LLC or LP operating or partnership agreement to the pledge by each other Pledgor, pursuant to the terms hereof, of the Pledged Interests in such LLC or LP and to the transfer of such Pledged Interests to the Administrative Agent or its nominee and to the substitution of the Administrative Agent or its nominee as a substituted member of the LLC or partner of the LP with all the rights, powers and duties of a member of the LLC or partner of the LP in question.

(c) No Pledgor shall agree to any amendment of an LLC or LP operating agreement that in any way adversely affects the perfection of the security interest of the Administrative Agent in the Pledged Interests pledged by such Pledgor hereunder, including any amendment electing to treat the membership interest or partnership interest of such Pledgor as other than a security under Section 8- 103 of the UCC.

6. Representations and Warranties. Each Pledgor represents and warrants as follows:

(a) Such Pledgor is the sole legal and beneficial owner of the percentage of the issued and outstanding Equity Interest of the respective issuers thereof listed with respect to such Pledgor on Exhibit A hereto, free and clear of any Lien except for the (i) security interest created by this Pledge Agreement and (ii) Liens permitted under the Credit Agreement, and the Pledged Interests constitute that percentage of the issued and outstanding shares or interest of Equity Interest of the respective issuers thereof set forth in Exhibit A hereto;

(b) Such Pledgor is the sole legal and beneficial owner of the Pledged Debt set forth on Exhibit C with respect to such Pledgor, free and clear of any Lien except for (i) the security interest created by this Pledge Agreement and (ii) Liens permitted under the Credit Agreement, and such Pledged Debt (i) as of the date hereof, constitutes all of the outstanding Indebtedness for money borrowed or for any deferred purchase price of property of the respective obligors thereof owing to such Pledgor and (ii) are each a valid and binding obligation of its respective obligor, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by (x) bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (y) general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

(c) Such Pledgor has, as applicable, full corporate, partnership or limited liability company power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Pledge Agreement except as set forth on Schedule I hereto;

Pledge Agreement

-4-

(e) Such Pledgor has the right to vote, pledge and grant a security interest in or otherwise transfer such Pledged Collateral free of any Liens;

(f) No authorization, approval, or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any governmental authority or regulatory body is required either (i) for the pledge of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement or for the execution, delivery or performance of this Pledge Agreement by such Pledgor or (ii) for the exercise by the Administrative Agent of the voting or other rights provided for in this Pledge Agreement or the remedies in respect of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement (except as may be required in connection with such disposition by laws affecting the offering and sale of securities generally);

(g) The pledge of the Pledged Collateral pursuant to this Pledge Agreement creates a valid, perfected and, following delivery of the certificates representing any certificated Pledged Interest and blank powers to the Administrative Agent, first priority security interest in the Pledged Collateral, in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties securing the payment and performance of the Liabilities;

During the term of this Pledge Agreement, and except as provided in this Section 7 below, each Pledgor shall have the right to vote the Pledged Interests on all corporate, partnership or LLC questions in a manner not inconsistent with the terms of this Pledge Agreement, the Credit Agreement and any other agreement, instrument or document executed pursuant thereto or in connection therewith. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, at the Administrative Agent’s option and following written notice from the Administrative Agent to any Pledgor, exercise all voting powers pertaining to the Pledged Collateral with respect to such Pledgor, including the right to take action by shareholder consent.

Pledge Agreement

8. Dividends and Other Distributions. (a) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, and to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement:

(i) Each Pledgor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends, distributions and interest paid in respect of the Pledged Collateral, provided, however, that any and all

(A) dividends, distribution and interest paid or payable other than in cash with respect to, and instruments and other non-cash property received, receivable or otherwise distributed with respect to, or in exchange for, any of the Pledged Collateral;

(B) dividends and other distributions paid or payable in cash with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral on account of a partial or total liquidation or dissolution or in connection with a reduction of capital, capital surplus or paid-in surplus; and

(C) cash paid, payable or otherwise distributed with respect to principal of, or in redemption of, or in exchange for, any of the Pledged Collateral, except to the extent paid, payable or otherwise distributed in connection with a sale, lease, transfer or other disposition permitted under Section 5.02(e) of the Credit Agreement;

shall be Pledged Collateral, and shall be forthwith delivered to the Administrative Agent to hold, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as Pledged Collateral and shall, if received by any Pledgor, be received in trust for the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and, during the continuance of an Event of Default, shall be segregated from the other property or funds of such Pledgor. Except for the distributions or dividends which may be retained by any Pledgor in accordance with the applicable terms of the Loan Documents, Pledged Collateral so received in the form of monies, checks, notes, drafts or funds shall be delivered promptly to the Administrative Agent (with any necessary endorsement) as proceeds of Collateral in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement; and

(D) The Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and delivered) to each Pledgor all such proxies and other instruments as each Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Pledgor to receive the dividends, distributions or interest payments which such Pledgor is authorized to receive and retain pursuant to clause (i) above and to exercise the voting rights that Pledgor is entitled to exercise pursuant to Section 7 above.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default.

(i) All rights of each Pledgor to receive the dividends, distributions and interest payments which it would otherwise be authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 8(a)(i) hereof shall cease, and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lender Parties and the other Secured Parties, which shall thereupon have the sole right to receive and hold as Pledged Collateral such dividends, distributions and interest payments; and

(ii) All dividends, distributions and interest payments which are received by any Pledgor contrary to the provisions of clause (i) of this Section 8(b) shall be

Pledge Agreement

-6-

received in trust for the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other funds of such Pledgor and shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent as Pledged Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsements).

9. Transfers and Other Liens. Each Pledgor agrees that it will not (a) sell or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Pledged Collateral without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, other than as permitted by the Credit Agreement, or (b) create or permit to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral, except for the security interest under this Pledge Agreement.

10. Remedies; Application of Proceeds.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall have, in addition to any other rights given under this Pledge Agreement or by law, all of the rights and remedies with respect to the Pledged Collateral of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code. In addition, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have such powers of sale and other powers as may be conferred by applicable law. With respect to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof which shall then be in or shall thereafter come into the possession or custody of the Administrative Agent or which the Administrative Agent shall otherwise have the ability to transfer under applicable law, the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, without notice except as specified below, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, sell or cause the same to be sold at any exchange, broker’s board or at public or private sale, in one or more sales or lots, at such price as the Administrative Agent may reasonably deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery, without assumption of any credit risk, and the purchaser of any or all of the Pledged Collateral so sold shall thereafter own the same, absolutely free from any claim, encumbrance or right of any kind whatsoever. Any Secured Party may, in its own name, or in the name of a designee or nominee, buy the Pledged Collateral at any public sale and, if permitted by applicable law, buy the Pledged Collateral at any private sale. In the event of a sale of any Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, to a Secured Party upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, such Secured Party shall not deduct or offset from any part of the purchase price to be paid therefor any indebtedness owing to it by such Pledgor. Such Pledgor will pay to the Administrative Agent all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ and paralegals’ fees and expenses) of, or incidental to, the enforcement of any of the provisions hereof. The Administrative Agent agrees to distribute any proceeds of the sale of the Pledged Collateral in accordance with the Credit Agreement.

(b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Pledgor shall, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, at such Pledgor’s expense, execute and deliver all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts and things, as may be reasonably necessary or, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, such Pledgor or either of their counsel, reasonably advisable to register the applicable Pledged Collateral under the provisions of the Securities Act in order to sell the same, and to exercise its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for such period as prospectuses are required by law to be furnished, and to make all amendments and supplements thereto and to the related prospectus which, in the

Pledge Agreement

-7-

opinion of the Administrative Agent, such Pledgor or either of their counsel, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto.

(c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, each Pledgor shall, upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent, at such Pledgor’s expense, use its best efforts to qualify the Pledged Collateral under state securities or “Blue Sky” laws and to obtain all necessary governmental approvals for the sale of the Pledged Collateral, as requested by the Administrative Agent.

(d) Unless any of the Pledged Collateral threatens to decline speedily in value or is or becomes of a type sold on a recognized market, the Administrative Agent will give each Pledgor reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof, or of the time after which any private sale or other intended disposition is to be made. Any sale of the Pledged Collateral conducted in conformity with reasonable commercial practices of banks, commercial finance companies, insurance companies or other financial institutions disposing of property similar to the Pledged Collateral shall be deemed to be commercially reasonable. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, each Pledgor agrees that any requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is received by each Pledgor as provided in Section 23 below at least ten (10) Business Days before the time of the sale or disposition; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may give any shorter notice that is commercially reasonable under the circumstances. Any other requirement of notice, demand or advertisement for sale is waived, to the extent permitted by law.

(e) In view of the fact that federal and state securities laws may impose certain restrictions on the method by which a sale of the Pledged Collateral may be effected after an Event of Default, each Pledgor agrees that upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, from time to time, attempt to sell all or any part of the Pledged Collateral by means of a private placement restricting the bidders and prospective purchasers to those who are qualified and will represent and agree that they are purchasing for investment only and not for distribution. In so doing, the Administrative Agent may solicit offers to buy the Pledged Collateral, or any part of it, from a limited number of investors deemed by the Administrative Agent, in its reasonable judgment, to be financially responsible parties who might be interested in purchasing the Pledged Collateral. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of Pledged Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the issuer thereof to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if such issuer would agree to do so.

(f) Each Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any covenant contained in this Section 10 or Section 8 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties, that the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 10 and Section 8 shall be specifically enforceable against such Pledgor,

Pledge Agreement

-8-

and such Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defense against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Credit Agreement.

(g) Each Pledgor will reimburse the Administrative Agent for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and expenses, in connection with the foregoing.

(h) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on the Administrative Agent to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for the Administrative Agent (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by the Administrative Agent to prepare Pledged Collateral for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents for access to Pledged Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party consents for the collection or disposition of Pledged Collateral to be collected or disposed of, (iii) to advertise dispositions of Pledged Collateral through publications or media of general circulation, (iv) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as the Pledgor, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of such Pledged Collateral, (v) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to assist in the disposition of Pledged Collateral, (vi) to dispose of Pledged Collateral by utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the types included in the Pledged Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of doing so, (viii) to disclaim disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment, (ix) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure the Administrative Agent against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Pledged Collateral or to provide to the Administrative Agent a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition of Pledged Collateral, or (x) to the extent deemed appropriate by the Administrative Agent, to obtain the services of brokers, investment bankers, consultants and other professionals to assist the Administrative Agent in the collection or disposition of any of the Pledged Collateral. Each Pledgor acknowledges that the purpose of this Section 10(h) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent would not be commercially unreasonable in the Administrative Agent’s exercise of remedies against the Pledged Collateral and that other actions or omissions by the Administrative Agent shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely on account of not being indicated in this Section 10(h). Without limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 10(h) shall be construed to grant any rights to any Pledgor or to impose any duties on the Administrative Agent that would not have been granted or imposed by this Agreement or by applicable law in the absence of this Section 10(h).

11. Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Pledgor hereby appoints the Administrative Agent its attorney-in-fact, with full authority, in the name of each Pledgor or otherwise, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, from time to time in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which the Administrative Agent may deem reasonably necessary or reasonably advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Pledge Agreement, including, without limitation (subject to Section 8 hereof), to receive, endorse and collect all instruments made payable to such Pledgor representing any dividend, distribution, interest payment or other distribution in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof and to give full discharge for the same and

Pledge Agreement

-9-

to arrange for the transfer of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral on the books of each of the issuers of such Pledged Interests or obligors of such Pledged Debt to the name of the Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent’s nominee.

12. Waivers. Each Pledgor waives presentment and demand for payment of any of the Liabilities, protest and notice of dishonor or Event of Default with respect to any of the Obligations and all other notices to which such Pledgor might otherwise be entitled except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in the Credit Agreement.

13. Termination of this Pledge Agreement; Release of Pledged Collateral.

(a) The pledge made and the security interest granted by each Pledgor under this Pledge Agreement shall terminate against all the Pledged Collateral upon the satisfaction of the conditions specified in the Credit Agreement. Upon such termination (other than as a result of the sale of the Pledged Collateral) and at the written request of each Pledgor or its successors or assigns, and at the cost and expense of any Pledgor or its successors or assigns, the Administrative Agent shall execute in a timely manner such instruments, documents or agreements as are reasonably necessary or reasonably desirable to terminate the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral and deliver to Pledgors the certificate(s) representing the Pledged Interests, the notes evidencing the Pledged Debt (if any) and the Powers, provided that such instruments evidencing the Pledged Collateral are in the possession of the Administrative Agent, subject to any disposition made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Pledge Agreement.

(b) Notwithstanding anything in this Pledge Agreement to the contrary, each Pledgor may, to the extent permitted by the Credit Agreement, sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Pledged Collateral. In addition, the Pledged Collateral shall be subject to release from time to time (with the Pledged Collateral referred to in the immediately preceding sentence, the “Released Collateral”) in accordance with the Credit Agreement. The Liens under this Pledge Agreement shall terminate with respect to the Released Collateral upon such sale, transfer, assignment, disposition or release, and, upon the request of and at the sole cost and expense of, the applicable Pledgor, the Administrative Agent shall execute and deliver such instruments or documents as may be necessary to release the Liens granted hereunder; provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such documents on terms which, in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty, and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Liabilities or any Liens on (or obligations of any Pledgor in respect of) assets which continue to constitute Pledged Collateral, including, without limitation, all reversionary rights of any Pledgor with respect to the Released Collateral and the proceeds of any sale, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Pledged Collateral.

(c) Each Pledgor acknowledges that it is not authorized to file any financing statement or amendment or termination statement with respect to any financing statement without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and agrees that it will not do so without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, subject to such Pledgor’s rights under Section 9-509(d)(2) of the Uniform Commercial Code.

14. Successors and Assigns. This Pledge Agreement shall be binding upon each Pledgor and its successors, and upon any assign(s) of any Pledgor in accordance with the Credit Agreement and shall inure to the benefit of the Secured Parties and their respective successors and assigns. Nothing set forth herein or in any other Loan Document is intended or shall be construed to give any other Person any right, remedy or claim under, to or in respect of this Pledge Agreement, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Pledged Collateral. Each Pledgor’s successors shall include, without limitation, a receiver, trustee or debtor-in-possession of or for such Pledgor.

15. GOVERNING LAW. THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED, AND THE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO DETERMINED, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

16. Consent to Jurisdiction and Service of Process. Each Pledgor agrees that the terms of Section 9.13 of the Credit Agreement with respect to consent to jurisdiction and service of process shall apply equally to this Pledge Agreement.

17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE PLEDGORS AND THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, BETWEEN THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND ANY PLEDGOR ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT. ANY SUCH PERSON MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

18. Waiver of Bond. Each Pledgor waives the posting of any bond otherwise required of the Administrative Agent in connection with any judicial process or proceeding to realize on the Pledged Collateral or any other security for the Liabilities, to enforce any judgment or other court order entered in favor of the Administrative Agent, or to enforce by specific performance, temporary restraining order, or preliminary or permanent injunction, this Pledge Agreement or any other agreement or document between the Administrative Agent and such Pledgor.

19. Advice of Counsel. Each Pledgor represents and warrants to the Secured Parties that it has discussed this Pledge Agreement and, specifically, the provisions of Sections 15 through 18 hereof, with such Pledgor’s attorneys.

20. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Pledge Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but, if any provision of this Pledge Agreement shall be held to be prohibited or invalid under applicable law, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Pledge Agreement.

21. Further Assurances. Each Pledgor agrees that it will cooperate with the Administrative Agent and will execute and deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, all such other powers, proxies, instruments and documents, and will take all such other actions, including, without limitation, the execution and filing of financing statements, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request from time to time in order to carry out the provisions and purposes of this Pledge Agreement.

22. The Administrative Agent’s Duty of Care. The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any acts, omissions, errors of judgment or mistakes of fact or law including, without limitation, acts, omissions, errors or mistakes with respect to the Pledged Collateral, except for those arising out of or in connection with the Administrative Agent’s (a) gross negligence or willful misconduct, (b) material breach of a material provision of this Pledge Agreement, or (c) failure to use reasonable care with respect to the safe custody of the Pledged Collateral in the Administrative Agent’s possession, and the parties hereto agree that such care shall be reasonable, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, if the Administrative Agent deals with the Pledged Collateral in the same manner as it deals with similar property for its own account. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to take any steps necessary to preserve rights in the Pledged Collateral against any other parties but may do so at its option. All reasonable expenses incurred in connection therewith shall be for the sole account of the Pledgors, and shall constitute part of the Liabilities secured hereby.

23. Notices. All notices and other communications required or desired to be served, given or delivered hereunder shall be in writing and shall be served, given or delivered as provided in Section 9.02 of the Credit Agreement.

24. Amendments, Waivers and Consents. None of the terms or provisions of this Pledge Agreement may be waived, altered, modified or amended, and no consent to any departure by any Pledgor herefrom shall be effective, except by or pursuant to an instrument in writing which (a) is duly executed by each Pledgor and the Administrative Agent and (b) complies with the requirements of the Credit Agreement. Any such waiver shall be valid only to the extent set forth therein. A waiver by the Administrative Agent of any right or remedy under this Pledge Agreement on any one occasion shall not be construed as a waiver of any right or remedy which the Administrative Agent would otherwise have on any future occasion. No failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Pledge Agreement on the part of the Administrative Agent shall operate as a waiver thereof; and no single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege under this Pledge Agreement shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

25. Section Titles. The section titles herein are for convenience of reference only, and shall not affect in any way the interpretation of any of the provisions hereof.

26. Acknowledgment of Pledged Interests. Pledgor shall cause each entity representing Pledged Interests to make the appropriate notation in such entity’s books and records indicating that the Pledged Interests are subject to the security interest granted pursuant to this Pledge Agreement. By execution of its acknowledgment in the form included at the end

Pledge Agreement

-12-

of this Pledge Agreement, each such entity shall consent to the security interest in the applicable Pledged Interests granted to Secured Parties pursuant to this Pledge Agreement and shall agree to comply with any “instructions” (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(12) of the UCC) with respect to the Pledged Interests originated by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties without further consent of Pledgor, including, without limitation, instructions regarding the transfer, redemption or other disposition of such Pledged Interest and other Pledged Collateral, the proceeds of such Pledged Collateral, including any distributions with respect thereto, and all of the rights, powers and duties of a member, partner or shareholder, as applicable, of such Person in question, in each case to the extent in accordance with the Pledge Agreement.

27. Execution in Counterparts. This Pledge Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

28. Additional Pledgors. Each Person that becomes a holder of Equity Interests in a Subsidiary Guarantor after the date hereof is required to become, and each Pledgor will promptly cause such Subsidiary to become, a Pledgor and be made a party to this Pledge Agreement pursuant to this Section 28 by execution and delivery to the Administrative Agent by such Subsidiary of a Supplement to this Pledge Agreement in the form of Exhibit D hereto, with the same force and effect as if originally named as a Pledgor hereunder. The execution and delivery of any such instrument shall not require the consent of any Pledgor hereunder. The rights and obligations of each Pledgor hereunder shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the addition of any new Pledgor as a party to this Pledge Agreement.
