(a)Making of Revolving Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make Revolving Loans to Borrower during the period from and including the Effective Date to but excluding the Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, such Lender’s Revolving Commitment; provided, however, that Revolving Loans shall not be made if the same are restricted by the amount limitations set forth in Section 2.12. Each borrowing of Revolving Loans hereunder shall be in an aggregate principal amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) and integral multiples of One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) in excess of that amount (except that, subject to Section 2.12, any such borrowing of Revolving Loans may be in the aggregate amount of the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments of all Lenders minus the sum of the aggregate principal balance of all Revolving Loans outstanding, which Revolving Loans, if less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), must be Base Rate Loans). Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans.

(b)Requests for Revolving Loans. Not later than 12:00 noon at least one (1) Business Day prior to a borrowing of Base Rate Loans and not later than 12:00 noon at least three (3) Business Days prior to a borrowing of LIBOR Loans, Borrower shall deliver to Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing. Each Notice of Borrowing shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans to be borrowed, the date such Revolving Loans are to be borrowed (which must be a Business Day), the use of the proceeds of such Revolving Loans, the Type of the requested Revolving Loans, and if such Revolving Loans are to be LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest Period for such Revolving Loans. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable once given and binding on Borrower. Prior to delivering a Notice of Borrowing, Borrower may (without specifying whether a Revolving Loan will be a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan) request that Administrative Agent provide Borrower with the most recent LIBOR available to Administrative Agent. Administrative Agent shall provide such quoted rate to Borrower on the date of such request or as soon as possible thereafter.


21


(c)Funding of Revolving Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing under the immediately preceding subsection (b), Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed borrowing. Each Lender shall deposit an amount equal to the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender to Borrower with Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds not later than 12:00 noon on the date of such proposed Revolving Loans. Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, Administrative Agent shall make available to Borrower at the Principal Office, not later than 12:00 noon on the date of the requested borrowing of Revolving Loans, the proceeds of such amounts received by Administrative Agent. No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

(d)Assumptions Regarding Funding by Lenders. Unless Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender that such Lender will not make available to Administrative Agent a Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender in connection with any borrowing, Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender will make the proceeds of such Revolving Loan available to Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section, and Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower the amount of such Revolving Loan to be provided by such Lender. In such event, if such Lender does not make available to Administrative Agent the proceeds of such Revolving Loan, then such Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay to Administrative Agent on demand the amount of such Revolving Loan with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Revolving Loan is made available to Borrower but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at: (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation; and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans. If Borrower and such Lender shall pay the amount of such interest to Administrative Agent for the same or overlapping period, Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to Borrower the amount of such interest paid by Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays to Administrative Agent the amount of such Revolving Loan, the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the borrowing. Any payment by Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim Borrower may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make available the proceeds of a Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender.

Section 2.1    Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans.

a.Rates. Borrower promises to pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender for the period from and including the date of the making of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following per annum rates:
i.during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time), plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans; and
ii.during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at LIBOR for such Loan for the Interest Period therefore, plus the Applicable Margin for such LIBOR Loans.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, while an Event of Default exists, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, as the case may be, interest at the Post-Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such Lender and on any other amount payable by Borrower hereunder or under the Notes held by such Lender to or for the account of such Lender (including, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent permitted under Applicable Law).

b.Payment of Interest. All accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan shall be payable: (i) monthly in arrears on the first day of each month, commencing with the first full calendar month occurring after the Effective Date; and (ii) on any date on which the principal balance of such Loan is due and payable in full (whether at maturity, due to acceleration or otherwise).

All determinations by Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error.
c.Borrower Information Used to Determine Applicable Interest Rates. The parties understand that the applicable interest rate for the Obligations and certain fees set forth herein may be determined and/or adjusted from time to time based upon certain financial ratios and/or other information to be provided or certified to the Lenders by Borrower (the “Borrower Information”). If it is subsequently determined that any such Borrower Information was incorrect (for whatever reason, including because of a subsequent restatement of earnings by Borrower) at the time it was delivered to Administrative Agent, and if the applicable interest rate or fees calculated for any period were lower than they should have been had the correct information been timely provided, then, such interest rate and such fees for such period shall be automatically recalculated using correct Borrower Information. Administrative Agent shall promptly notify Borrower in writing of any additional interest and fees due because of such recalculation, and Borrower shall pay such additional interest or fees due to Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such written notice. Any recalculation of interest or fees required by this provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement, and this provision shall not in any way limit any of Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s other rights under this Agreement.

All payments under this subsection (b)(i) shall be applied in accordance with the last sentence of Section 3.2.
ii.Borrowing Base; Maximum Loan Availability Overadvance. If, as of any Testing Date, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans exceeds the Borrowing Base, Borrower shall within fifteen (15) Business Days after the date on which the Borrowing Base Certificate is due, pay to

In the event the maturity of the Obligations hereunder occurs or is accelerated pursuant to Section 11.2, this Section 2.6 shall apply only to payments overdue prior to the time of such acceleration.

a.Borrower shall provide Administrative Agent with written notice of Borrower’s request to exercise the Extension Option, at least forty-five (45), but not more than one hundred twenty (120), days prior to the applicable Maturity Date (the “Extension Request”). Such Extension Request shall be revocable, provided that Borrower reimburses Administrative Agent and the Lenders for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with such revocation;
b.As of the date of Borrower’s delivery of the Extension Request, and as of the applicable Maturity Date, to the best of Borrower’s (and Guarantor’s) knowledge no Default or Event of Default shall

25


have occurred and be continuing, and Borrower (and Guarantor, with respect to the Guaranty and Hazardous Materials Indemnity Agreement) shall so certify in writing;
c.Borrower and Guarantor shall execute or cause the execution of all documents reasonably required by Administrative Agent to evidence the Extension Option, and shall deliver to Administrative Agent, at Borrower’s sole cost and expense, title insurance endorsements showing no encumbrances or liens with respect to the Properties other than Permitted Liens;
d.Borrower shall pay an extension fee to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Lender, on the first (1st) day of the extension period date, in an amount equal to aggregate amount of each Lender’s Revolving Commitment (whether or not utilized) as of the day immediately prior to the then current Maturity Date (before giving effect to such extension), multiplied by fifteen one-hundredths of one percent (0.15%);
e.All costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the exercise of the Extension Option) shall be payable by Borrower on demand therefor; and
f.As of the date of delivery of the Extension Request, and as of the Original Maturity Date, the Testing Debt Yield shall be at least equal to the Testing Debt Yield Hurdle and the Testing LTV shall be less than the Testing LTV Hurdle. Such compliance shall be evidenced by financial statements and reports delivered by Borrower at the time of its delivery of the Extension Request and, at Administrative Agent’s election, Borrower shall deliver updated Appraisals (for all Appraisals with effective dates prior to the date that is one year prior to the then applicable Maturity Date) evidencing the recalculated Testing LTV.

Section 2.12    Amount Limitations.

Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Lender shall make any Loan if, immediately after the making of such Loan, the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans would exceed the Maximum Loan Availability.
Section 2.13    Increase in Revolving Commitments.

Borrower shall have the right to request, not more frequently than once per calendar quarter, increases in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments by providing written notice to Administrative Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable once given; provided, however, that after giving effect to any such increases the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments of all of the Lenders shall not exceed One Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($150,000,000). Each such increase in the Revolving Commitments must be an aggregate minimum amount of Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) and integral multiples of Twenty-Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000) in excess thereof. Administrative Agent, in consultation with Borrower, shall manage all aspects of the syndication of such increase in the Revolving Commitments, including decisions as to the selection of the existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders to be approached with respect to such increase and the allocations of the increase in the Revolving Commitments among such existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders. No Lender shall be obligated in any way whatsoever to increase its Revolving Commitment. If a new Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, or if any existing Lender is increasing its Revolving Commitment, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a Lender hereunder (or in the case of an existing Lender, increases its Revolving Commitment) (and as a condition thereto) purchase from the other Lenders its Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined with respect to the Lenders’ relative Revolving Commitments and after giving effect to the increase of Revolving Commitments) of any outstanding Revolving Loans, by making available to Administrative Agent for the account of such other Lenders, in same day funds, an amount equal to the sum of: (a) the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans to be purchased by such Lender; plus (b) interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans. Borrower

26


shall pay to the Lenders amounts payable, if any, to such Lenders under Section 5.4 as a result of the prepayment of any such Revolving Loans. Effecting the increase of the Revolving Commitments under this Section is subject to the following conditions precedent (together with any other conditions precedent imposed by Administrative Agent and the Lenders in their sole and absolute discretion): (i) no Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such increase; (ii) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by Borrower and Guarantor in any Loan Document shall be true or correct on the effective date of such increase except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and accurate on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances specifically and expressly permitted hereunder; (iii)  Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following, in form and substance satisfactory to Administrative Agent: (A) such agreements, amendments, promissory notes, documents, certificates and instruments as Administrative Agent shall reasonably require to evidence the increase in the Revolving Loan Commitment; (B) an acknowledgement and ratification by Guarantor of its obligations under the Guaranty and the Hazardous Materials Indemnity Agreement; (C) an opinion of counsel to Borrower and Guarantor, and addressed to Administrative Agent and the Lenders covering such matters as reasonably requested by Administrative Agent; and (D) endorsements to the Title Policies dating down the effective date of such Title Policies and increasing such Title Policies by the amount of such increase in the Revolving Loan Commitments. In connection with any increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.13, any Lender becoming a party hereto shall execute such documents and agreements as Administrative Agent may reasonably request.
Section 2.14    Funds Transfer Disbursements.

a.Generally. Borrower hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of any Loan made by the Lenders or any of their Affiliates pursuant to the Loan Documents as requested by an authorized representative of Borrower to any of the accounts designated in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement. Borrower agrees to be bound by any transfer request: (i) authorized or transmitted by Borrower; or (ii) made in Borrower’s name and accepted by Administrative Agent in good faith and in compliance with these transfer instructions, even if not properly authorized by Borrower. Borrower further agrees and acknowledges that Administrative Agent may rely solely on any bank routing number or identifying bank account number or name provided by Borrower to effect a wire of funds transfer even if the information provided by Borrower identifies a different bank or account holder than named by Borrower in the Loan Documents or in other wire transfer requests. Administrative Agent is not obligated or required in any way to take any actions to detect errors in information provided by Borrower. If Administrative Agent takes any actions in an attempt to detect errors in the transmission or content of transfer or requests or takes any actions in an attempt to detect unauthorized funds transfer requests, Borrower agrees that no matter how many times Administrative Agent takes these actions Administrative Agent shall not in any situation be liable for failing to take or correctly perform these actions in the future and such actions shall not become any part of the transfer disbursement procedures authorized under this provision, the Loan Documents, or any agreement between Administrative Agent and Borrower. Borrower agrees to notify Administrative Agent of any errors in the transfer of any funds or of any unauthorized or improperly authorized transfer requests within fourteen (14) days after Administrative Agent’s confirmation to Borrower of such transfer.
b.Funds Transfer. Administrative Agent shall, in its sole discretion, determine the funds transfer system and the means by which each transfer will be made. Administrative Agent may delay or refuse to accept a funds transfer request if the transfer would: (i) violate the terms of this authorization; (ii) require use of a bank unacceptable to Administrative Agent or any Lender or prohibited by any Governmental Authority; (iii) cause Administrative Agent or any Lender to violate any Federal Reserve or other regulatory risk control program or guideline; or (iv) otherwise cause Administrative Agent or any Lender to violate any Applicable Law or regulation.

27


c.Limitation of Liability. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be liable to Borrower or any other parties for: (i) errors, acts or failures to act of others, including other entities, banks, communications carriers or clearinghouses, through which Borrower’s transfers may be made or information received or transmitted, and no such entity shall be deemed an agent of Administrative Agent or any Lender; (ii) any loss, liability or delay caused by fires, earthquakes, wars, civil disturbances, power surges or failures, acts of government, labor disputes, failures in communications networks, legal constraints or other events beyond Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s control; or (iii) any special, consequential, indirect or punitive damages, whether or not: (A) any claim for these damages is based on tort or contract; or (B) Administrative Agent, any Lender or Borrower knew or should have known the likelihood of these damages in any situation. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender makes any representations or warranties other than those expressly made in this Agreement.

Article III.Payments, Fees and Other General Provisions

Section 3.1    Payments.

(a)Payments by Borrower. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest, Fees and other amounts to be made by Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim, to Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Subject to Section 10.5, Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, specify to Administrative Agent the amounts payable by Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied. Each payment received by Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by such Lender to Administrative Agent from time to time, for the account of such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender. In the event Administrative Agent fails to pay such amounts to such Lender, as the case may be, within one Business Day of receipt of such amounts, Administrative Agent shall pay interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall continue to accrue at the rate, if any, applicable to such payment for the period of such extension.
(b)Presumptions Regarding Payments by Borrower. Unless Administrative Agent shall have received notice from Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that Borrower will not make such payment, Administrative Agent may assume that Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to Administrative Agent on demand that amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

Section 3.2    Pro Rata Treatment.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from Lenders under Section 2.1(a) shall be made from the Lenders, each payment of the fees under Section 3.5(a) shall be made for the

28


account of the Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Revolving Commitments under Section 2.10 shall be applied to the respective Revolving Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Loans by Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Loans held by them, provided that if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of any Revolving Loans the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans shall not be held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments in effect at the time such Loans were made, then such payment shall be applied to the Revolving Loans in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans being held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments; (c) each payment of interest on Revolving Loans by Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Revolving Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders; (d) the Conversion and Continuation of Loans of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Section 5.1) shall be made pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Loans and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each Loan of such Type shall be coterminous. Any payment or prepayment of principal or interest made: (i)(A) during the existence of a Default or Event of Default; or (B) pursuant to Section 2.5(b)(ii), shall be made for the account of the Lenders in accordance with the order set forth in Section 10.5; and (ii) pursuant to Section 2.5(b)(i), shall be made for the account of the Lenders holding Revolving Commitments (or, if the Revolving Commitments have been terminated, holding Revolving Loans) in accordance with the order set forth in Section 10.5.
Section 3.3    Sharing of Payments, Etc.

If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan under this Agreement or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by Borrower or Guarantor through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by Borrower or Guarantor to a Lender (other than any payment in respect of Specified Derivatives Obligations) not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment should be distributed to the Lenders in accordance with Section 3.2 or Section 10.5, such Lender shall promptly purchase from such other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans made by the other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may actually be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) in accordance with the requirements of Section 3.2 or Section 10.5, as applicable. To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with the respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of Borrower.
Section 3.4    Several Obligations.

No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve

29


the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.
Section 3.5    Fees.

a.Commitment Fee. On the Effective Date, Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent and for the benefit of the Lenders, a commitment fee as provided in the Fee Letter.
b.Unused Fee. During the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Maturity Date, Borrower agrees to pay to Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders an unused facility fee equal to the sum of the average daily amount by which the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments exceeds the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Revolving Loans set forth in the table below multiplied by the corresponding per annum rate:
Amount by Which Revolving Commitments Exceed Aggregate Revolving Loans
Unused Fee
Equal to or greater than an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments
0.25% per annum
Less than an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments
0.15% per annum

Such fee shall be computed on a daily basis and payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each January, April, July and October during the term of this Agreement and on the Maturity Date or any earlier date of termination of the Revolving Commitments or reduction of the Revolving Commitments to zero.
c.Administrative and Other Fees. Borrower agrees to pay the administrative and other fees of Administrative Agent as provided in the Fee Letter and as may be otherwise agreed to in writing from time to time.

Section 3.6    Computations.

Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan, any Fees or other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed.
Section 3.7    Usury.

In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by Borrower or Guarantor or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that Borrower not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by Borrower under Applicable Law. The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in Section 2.2(a)(i) and (ii). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, facility fees, letter of credit fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by Administrative Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by Administrative Agent or any Lender, are charges made to compensate Administrative Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or

30


incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money. All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.
Section 3.8    Statements of Account.

Administrative Agent shall account to Borrower monthly with a statement of Loans, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by Administrative Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon Borrower absent manifest error. The failure of Administrative Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.
Section 3.9    Defaulting Lenders.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:
a.Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Requisite Lenders.
b.Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, Fees or other amounts received by Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article X or otherwise) or received by Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 3.3 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by Administrative Agent; third, if so determined by Administrative Agent and Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fourth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; fifth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if: (i) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans, in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share; and (ii) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Article VI were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (determined without giving effect to the immediately following Section 3.9(d)). Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
c.Certain Fees. No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Fee payable under Section 3.5(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and Borrower shall not be

31


required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
d.Defaulting Lender Cure. If Borrower and Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, Administrative Agent shall so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages (determined without giving effect to this Section 3.9(d)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

Section 3.10    Taxes; Foreign Lenders.

a.FATCA. For purposes of this Section, the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.
b.Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of Borrower or Guarantor under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law. If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by Borrower or Guarantor shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.10) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
c.Payment of Other Taxes by Borrower. Borrower and Guarantor shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
d.Indemnification by Borrower. Borrower and Guarantor shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to Administrative Agent), or by Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
e.Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for: (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that Borrower or Guarantor has not already indemnified Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of Borrower and Guarantor to do so); (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.6 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register; and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally

32


imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to Administrative Agent under this subsection.
f.Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by Borrower or Guarantor to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, Borrower or Guarantor shall deliver to Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Administrative Agent.
g.Status of Lenders.
i.Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
ii.Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that Borrower is a U.S. Person:
A.any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), two (2) executed originals of IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
B.any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
I.in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party: (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty; and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
II.executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
III.in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code: (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of Borrower

33


within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”); and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E; or
IV.to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-2 or Exhibit G-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit G-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
C.any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of Borrower or Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit Borrower or Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
D.if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to Borrower and Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by Borrower or Administrative Agent as may be necessary for Borrower and Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify Borrower and Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
h.Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.10 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3.10), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event shall the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such

34


Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
i.Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 3.10 shall survive the resignation or replacement of Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Article V.
Yield Protection, Etc.

Section 5.1    Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a)Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or any Participant in the Loans determines that compliance with any law or regulation or with 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 or such Participant, or any corporation Controlling such Lender or such Participant, as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s or such Participant’s or such corporation’s Commitments or its making or maintaining Loans below the rate which such Lender or such Participant or such corporation Controlling such Lender or such Participant could have achieved but for such compliance (taking into account the policies of such Lender or such Participant or such corporation with regard to capital), then Borrower shall, from time to time, within thirty (30) calendar days after written demand by such Lender or such Participant, pay to such Lender or such Participant additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such Participant or such corporation Controlling such Lender or such Participant to the extent that such Lender or such Participant determines such increase in capital is allocable to such Lender’s or such Participant’s obligations hereunder.
(b)Additional Costs. In addition to, and not in limitation of Section 5.1(a), Borrower shall pay, within ten (10) Business Days days of receipt of written notice by the relevant Lender, to Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it reasonably determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its LIBOR Loans or its Commitments (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such LIBOR Loans or its Commitments (other than Indemnified Taxes or Excluded Taxes); or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (including, Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder); or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing

40


the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy).
(c)Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of Sections 5.1(a) and (b), if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either: (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes LIBOR Loans; or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5 shall apply).
(d)Notification and Determination of Additional Costs. Each Lender agrees to notify Borrower of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling such Lender or its Participant to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, that the failure of Administrative Agent, any Lender or its Participant to give such notice shall not release Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder. Each Lender agrees to furnish to Borrower (and to Administrative Agent as well) a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this Section. Determinations such Lender of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

Section 5.2    Suspension of LIBOR Loans.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of LIBOR for any Interest Period:
a.Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR Loans as provided herein or is otherwise unable to determine LIBOR, or
b.Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined are not likely to adequately cover the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period;
then Administrative Agent shall give Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional LIBOR Loans, Continue LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans and Borrower shall, on the last day of each current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, either prepay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.
Section 5.3    Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify Borrower thereof (with a copy of such notice to Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to

41


Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5 shall be applicable).
Section 5.4    Compensation.

Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense attributable to:
a.any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Loan, or Conversion of a LIBOR Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or
b.any failure by Borrower for any reason (including the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Article 6.2 to be satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or Continue a LIBOR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.
Not in limitation of the foregoing, such compensation shall include: (i) in the case of a LIBOR Loan, an amount equal to the then present value of: (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on such LIBOR Loan for the remainder of the Interest Period at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loan; less (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same LIBOR Loan for the same period if LIBOR were set on the date on which such LIBOR Loan was repaid, prepaid or Converted or the date on which Borrower failed to borrow, Convert or Continue such LIBOR Loan, as applicable, calculating present value by using as a discount rate LIBOR quoted on such date may reasonably incur by reason of such prepayment, including any losses or expenses incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties. Upon Borrower’s request, Administrative Agent shall provide Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Any such statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
Section 5.5    Treatment of Affected Loans.

If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1(c), Section 5.2, or Section 5.3 then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 5.1(c), Section 5.2, or Section 5.3 on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to Borrower with a copy to Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1, Section 5.2, or Section 5.3 that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:
(i)to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
(ii)all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

If such Lender gives notice to Borrower (with a copy to Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1(c) or Section 5.3 that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances

42


ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.
Section 5.6    Change of Lending Office.

Each Lender agrees that it shall use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Section 3.10, Section 5.1 or Section 5.3 to reduce the liability of Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.
Section 5.7    Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans.

Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Article shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded LIBOR Loans through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loans in an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loans and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article.

Failure of any Borrower to comply with any of the covenants contained in this Section or any other covenants contained in this Agreement shall not affect the status of such Borrower as a separate legal entity.
f.Solvency. For purposes of this subsection (f), “Borrower” shall mean all of the Borrowers collectively. Borrower: (a) has not entered into any Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby with the intent to hinder, delay, or defraud any creditor, and (b) has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for its obligations under the Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loans, the fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of each Loan advance, exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated, disputed and contingent liabilities. The fair saleable value of Borrower’s assets is and will, immediately following the making of each Loan advance, be greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s assets do not and, immediately following the making of each advance of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably small capital to carry out its business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted.

In exercising their respective rights and remedies Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Specified Derivatives Providers may be selective and no failure or delay by Administrative Agent, any of the Lenders or any of the Specified Derivatives Providers in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.
Article XI.
Administrative Agent

Section 11.1    Appointment and Authorization.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Agent,” “Administrative Agent,” “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, use

72


of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. Administrative Agent shall deliver to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to Administrative Agent pursuant to Article VIII that Borrower is not otherwise required to deliver directly to the Lenders. Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to Administrative Agent by Borrower, Guarantor or any other Affiliate of Borrower, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), Administrative Agent shall not 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 Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed Administrative Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against Administrative Agent as a result of Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders.
Section 11.2    Wells Fargo as Lender.

Wells Fargo, as a Lender or as a Specified Derivatives Provider, as the case may be, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document and under any Specified Derivatives Contract, as the case may be, as any other Lender or Specified Derivatives Provider and may exercise the same as though it were not Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include Wells Fargo in each case in its individual capacity. Wells Fargo and its affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower, Guarantor or any other affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefore to the other Lenders, or any other Specified Derivatives Providers. Further, Administrative Agent and any affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement or any Specified Derivatives Contract, or otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Lenders or any other Specified Derivatives Providers. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wells Fargo or its affiliates may receive information regarding Borrower, Guarantor and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.
Section 11.3    Collateral Matters; Protective Advances.

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

73


(b)The Lenders hereby authorize Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by Administrative Agent upon any Collateral: (i) upon termination of the Commitments and indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations and Specified Derivatives Obligations; (ii) as expressly permitted by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Loan Document; and (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Requisite Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as this Agreement or any other Loan Document may expressly provide). Upon request by Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders shall confirm in writing Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section.
(c)Upon any sale and transfer of Collateral which is expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by Borrower, Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to Administrative Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Lenders and the Specified Derivatives Providers herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred; provided, however, that: (i) Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence 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 Obligations or Specified Derivatives Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of Borrower or Guarantor in respect of) all interests retained by Borrower or Guarantor, including the proceeds of such sale or transfer, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, Administrative Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses reasonably incurred by Administrative Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure.
(d)Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Lenders or the Specified Derivatives Providers or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by Borrower, Guarantor or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to Administrative Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to Administrative Agent in this Section or in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, and that Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except to the extent resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(e)Administrative Agent may make, and shall be reimbursed by the Lenders (in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares) to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower for, Protective Advances during any one calendar year with respect to each Property that is Collateral up to the sum of: (i) amounts expended to pay real estate taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon such Property; (ii) amounts expended to pay insurance premiums for policies of insurance related to such Property; and (iii) $500,000. Protective Advances in excess of said sum during any calendar year for any Property that is Collateral shall require the consent of the Requisite Lenders. Borrower agrees to pay on demand all Protective Advances.
(f)By their acceptance of the benefits of the Security Documents, each Lender that is at any time itself a Specified Derivatives Provider, or having an Affiliate that is a Specified Derivatives Provider, hereby, for itself, and on behalf of any such Affiliate, in its capacity as a Specified Derivatives Provider, irrevocably appoints and authorizes Administrative Agent as its collateral agent, to take such action as contractual representative on such Specified Derivative’s Provider’s behalf and to exercise such powers under the Security Documents as are specifically delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms of this Section 11.3, Section 11.4 and any Security Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental

74


thereto; provided, that this subsection (f) shall not affect any of the terms of a Specified Derivatives Contract or restrict a Specified Derivatives Provider from taking any action permitted by a Specified Derivatives Contract. For the avoidance of doubt, all references in this Section 11.3 to “Lender” or “Lenders” shall be deemed to include each Lender (and Affiliate thereof) in its capacity as a Specified Derivatives Provider, if applicable.

Section 11.4    Post Foreclosure Plans.

If all or any portion of the Collateral is acquired by Administrative Agent as a result of a foreclosure or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or is retained in satisfaction of all or any part of the Obligations and/or Specified Derivatives Obligations, the title to any such Collateral, or any portion thereof, shall be held in the name of Administrative Agent or a nominee or subsidiary of Administrative Agent, as administrative agent, for the ratable benefit of all Lenders and the Specified Derivatives Providers. Administrative Agent shall prepare a recommended course of action for such Collateral (a “Post-Foreclosure Plan”), which shall be subject to the approval of the Requisite Lenders. In accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, Administrative Agent shall manage, operate, repair, administer, complete, construct, restore or otherwise deal with the Collateral acquired, and shall administer all transactions relating thereto, including employing a management agent, leasing agent and other agents, contractors and employees, including agents for the sale of such Collateral, and the collecting of rents and other sums from such Collateral and paying the expenses of such Collateral. Actions taken by Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral, which are not specifically provided for in the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan or reasonably incidental thereto, shall require the written consent of the Requisite Lenders by way of supplement to such Post-Foreclosure Plan. Upon demand therefor from time to time, each Lender shall contribute its share (based on its Pro Rata Share) of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Administrative Agent pursuant to the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan in connection with the construction, operation, management, maintenance, leasing and sale of such Collateral. In addition, Administrative Agent shall render or cause to be rendered to each Lender and each Specified Derivatives Provider, on a monthly basis, an income and expense statement for such Collateral, and each Lender shall promptly contribute its Pro Rata Share of any operating loss for such Collateral, and such other expenses and operating reserves as Administrative Agent shall deem reasonably necessary pursuant to and in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan. To the extent there is net operating income from such Collateral, Administrative Agent shall, in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, determine the amount and timing of distributions to the Lenders and the Specified Derivatives Providers. All such distributions shall be made to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. The Lenders and the Specified Derivatives Providers acknowledge and agree that if title to any Collateral is obtained by Administrative Agent or its nominee, such Collateral will not be held as a permanent investment but will be liquidated and the proceeds of such liquidation will be distributed in accordance with Section 10.5 as soon as practicable. Administrative Agent shall undertake to sell such Collateral, at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Requisite Lenders reasonably shall determine to be most advantageous to the Lenders and the Specified Derivatives Providers. Any purchase money mortgage or deed of trust taken in connection with the disposition of such Collateral in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall name Administrative Agent, as Administrative Agent for the Lenders, as the beneficiary or mortgagee. In such case, Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall enter into an agreement with respect to such purchase money mortgage or deed of trust defining the rights of the Lenders in the same Pro Rata Shares as provided hereunder, which agreement shall be in all material respects similar to this Article insofar as the same is appropriate or applicable.

75


Section 11.5    Approvals of Lenders.

All communications from Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval: (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender; (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved; (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to Administrative Agent by Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved; and (d) shall include Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Unless a Lender shall give written notice to Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of Administrative Agent (together with a reasonable written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms of the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination.
Section 11.6    Notice of Events of Default.

Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to Administrative Agent such a “notice of default.” Further, if Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.
Section 11.7    Administrative Agent’s Reliance.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Administrative Agent: may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for Borrower or Guarantor), 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. Neither Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person and shall be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of Borrower or other Persons or inspect the property, books or records of Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any Collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders and the Specified Derivatives Providers in any such Collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals,

76


statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Section 11.8    Indemnification of Administrative Agent.

Regardless of whether the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are consummated, each Lender agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a “Lender”) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders, if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by Borrower and without limiting the obligation of Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out of pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of the counsel to Administrative Agent) incurred by Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out of pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by Administrative Agent that Administrative Agent shall reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If Borrower shall reimburse Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.
Section 11.9    Lender Credit Decision, Etc.

Each of the Lenders expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys in fact or other affiliates has made any

77


representations or warranties to such Lender and that no act by Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of Borrower, Guarantor or any other Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by Administrative Agent or any Lender. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to Administrative Agent, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or counsel, and based on the financial statements of Borrower, Guarantor and other Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of Borrower, Guarantor and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. Each of the Lenders also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to Administrative Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by Borrower or Guarantor of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, Borrower, Guarantor. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of Borrower, Guarantor or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of Administrative Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys in fact or other Affiliates. Each of the Lenders acknowledges that Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to any Lender.
Section 11.10    Successor Administrative Agent.

Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and Borrower. Upon any such resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Event of Default or monetary or material non-monetary Default exists, be subject to Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and any of its affiliates as a successor Administrative Agent). If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. After any Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XII. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its affiliates by giving Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.

Section 12.6    Successors and Assigns.

a.Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all the Lenders (and any such assignment or transfer to which all of the Lenders have not consented shall be void).
b.Participations. Any Lender may at any time grant to an affiliate of such Lender, or one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a “Participant”) participating interests in its Commitments or the Obligations owing to such Lender. Except as otherwise provided in Section 12.4 or as otherwise expressly stated herein, no Participant shall have any rights or benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document. In the event of any such grant by a Lender of a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and Borrower and Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of Borrower hereunder including the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided, however, such Lender may agree with the Participant that it shall not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to: (i) increase such Lender’s Commitment; (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender; or (iii) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon. An assignment or other transfer which is not permitted by subsection (c) or (d) below shall be given effect for purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest granted in accordance with this subsection (b). Each Lender that grants a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any commitments, loans, or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations or as may be reasonably requested by Borrowers to ensure their compliance with the reporting and withholding obligations under FATCA. The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
c.Assignments. Any Lender may with the prior written consent of Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld) at any time assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes; provided, however: (i) any partial assignment shall be in an amount at least equal to $10,000,000 and (unless the assigning Lender’s entire interest is being assigned) after giving effect to such assignment the assigning Lender retains a Commitment, or if the Commitments have been terminated, holds Notes having an aggregate outstanding principal balance, of at least $10,000,000; (ii) if the assigning Lender (or its Affiliate) is a Specified Derivatives Provider and if after giving effect to such assignment such Lender will hold no further Loans or Commitments under this Agreement, such Lender shall undertake such assignment only contemporaneously with an assignment by such Lender (or its Affiliate, as the case may be) of all of its Specified Derivatives Contracts to the Assignee or another Lender (or Affiliate thereof); and (iii) each such assignment shall be effected by means of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an amount equal to

83


the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be deemed to be a Lender party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with a Revolving Commitment and/or Loans, as the case may be, as set forth in such Assignment and Assumption Agreement, and the transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Lender, Administrative Agent and Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so the new Notes are issued to the Assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate, and shall update Schedule I attached hereto. In connection with any such assignment, the transferor Lender shall pay to Administrative Agent an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of Four Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($4,500). Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in any Loan held by it hereunder to Borrower or any of its Affiliates.
d.Federal Reserve Bank Assignments. In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of the Section, and without the need to comply with any of the formal or procedural requirements of this Section, any Lender may at any time and from time to time, pledge and assign all or any portion of its rights under all or any of the Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge of assignment shall release such Lender from its obligations thereunder.
e.No Assignment or Participation to Certain Persons. No assignment or participation of any interest in the Loans shall be made: (i) to any Borrower or Guarantor, or to any of Borrower’s or Guarantor’s Affiliates; or (ii) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates, or to any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (ii).
f.Information to Assignee, Etc. A Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrower, or Guarantor in the possession of such Lender from time to time to Assignees and Participants (including prospective Assignees and Participants).
g.Register. Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of Borrower, shall maintain at the principal office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and Borrower, Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Section 12.7    Amendments and Waivers.

a.Generally. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement: (i) any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement or in any Loan Document to be given by the Lenders may be given; (ii) any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document may be amended; (iii) the performance or observance by Borrower or Guarantor of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document may be waived; and (iv) the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Requisite Lenders (or Administrative Agent at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders), and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Person which is party thereto. Notwithstanding the previous sentence, Administrative Agent, shall be authorized on behalf of all the Lenders, without the necessity of any notice to, or further consent from, any Lender, to waive the imposition of the late fees provided in Section 2.6, up to a maximum of three (3) times per calendar year.

84


b.Unanimous Consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing, and signed by all of the Lenders directly affected thereby (or Administrative Agent at the written direction of the Lenders), do any of the following:
i.increase the Commitments of the Lenders (excluding any increase as a result of an assignment of Commitments permitted under Section 12.6).
ii.reduce the principal of, or interest rates that have accrued or that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of, any Loans or other Obligations;
iii.reduce the amount of any Fees payable to the Lenders hereunder;
iv.postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, any Loans or for the payment of Fees or any other Obligations except in accordance with Section 2.11;
v.change the definitions of Revolving Commitment Percentage or Pro Rata Share;
vi.amend this Section or amend the definitions of the terms used in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents insofar as such definitions affect the substance of this Section;
vii.modify the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” or modify in any other manner the number or percentage of the Lenders required to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof;
viii.release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty;
ix.waive a Default or Event of Default under Section 10.1(a);
x.amend, or waive Borrower’s compliance with, Section 2.12; or
xi.release or dispose of any Collateral unless released or disposed of as permitted by, and in accordance with, the terms of this Agreement.
c.Amendment of Administrative Agent’s Duties, Etc. No amendment, waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by Administrative Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to any Loan Document that: (i) diminishes the rights of a Specified Derivatives Provider in a manner or to an extent dissimilar to that affecting the Lenders; or (ii) increases the liabilities or obligations of a Specified Derivatives Provider shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the consent of the Lender that is (or having an Affiliate that is) such Specified Derivatives Provider. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein. No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by Borrower, Guarantor or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon Borrower shall entitle Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

Section 12.8    Nonliability of Administrative Agent and Lenders.

The relationship between Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders and Administrative Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to Borrower and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Lender, Borrower, or Guarantor. Neither Administrative Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to Borrower to review or inform Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of Borrower’s business or operations.

85


Section 12.9    Confidentiality.

Except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law, Administrative Agent and each Lender shall utilize all non public information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement which has been identified as confidential or proprietary by Borrower in accordance with its customary procedure for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices but in any event may make disclosure: (a) to any of their respective affiliates (provided any such affiliate shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); (b) as reasonably requested by any bona fide Assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with the contemplated transfer of any Commitment or participations therein as permitted hereunder (provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings; (d) to Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information); (e) if an Event of Default exists, to any other Person, in connection with the exercise by Administrative Agent or the Lenders of rights hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents; and (f) to the extent such information: (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section; or (ii) becomes available to Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than Borrower or any Affiliate.
Section 12.10    Indemnification.

a.Borrower shall and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Administrative Agent, any affiliate of Administrative Agent, each of the Lenders and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, agents, employees and counsel (each referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses of every kind and nature (including amounts paid in settlement, court costs and the fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding or any advice rendered in connection therewith, but excluding losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses indemnification in respect of which is specifically covered by Sections 3.10 or 5.1 or expressly excluded from the coverage of such Sections) incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of, or by reason of, any suit, cause of action, claim, arbitration, investigation or settlement, consent decree or other proceeding (the foregoing referred to herein as an “Indemnity Proceeding”) which is in any way related directly or indirectly to: (i) this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) the making of any Loans hereunder; (iii) any actual or proposed use by Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans; (iv) Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s entering into this Agreement; (v) the fact that Administrative Agent and the Lenders have established the credit facility evidenced hereby in favor of Borrower; (vi) the fact that Administrative Agent and the Lenders are creditors of Borrower and have or are alleged to have information regarding the financial condition, strategic plans or business operations of Borrower; (vii) the fact that Administrative Agent and the Lenders are material creditors of Borrower and are alleged to influence directly or indirectly the business decisions or affairs of any Borrower or their financial condition; (viii) the exercise of any right or remedy Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including the foreclosure upon, or seizure of, any Collateral or the exercise of any other rights of a secured party; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party for any acts or omissions of such Indemnified Party in connection with matters described in this clause (viii) that constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (ix) any violation or non-compliance by Borrower of any Applicable Law (including any Environmental Law) including any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by: (A) the Internal Revenue Service or state taxing authority; or (B) any Governmental Authority or other Person under any Environmental Law, including any

86


Indemnity Proceeding commenced by a Governmental Authority or other Person seeking remedial or other action to cause Borrower (or its respective properties) (or Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders as successors to Borrower) to be in compliance with such Environmental Laws. For the avoidance of doubt this Section 12.10 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any Taxes that represent losses, claims or damages arising from any non-Tax claim.
b.Borrower’s indemnification obligations under this Section shall apply to all Indemnity Proceedings arising out of, or related to, the foregoing whether or not an Indemnified Party is a named party in such Indemnity Proceeding. In this connection, this indemnification shall cover all costs and expenses of any Indemnified Party in connection with any deposition of any Indemnified Party or compliance with any subpoena (including any subpoena requesting the production of documents). This indemnification shall, among other things, apply to any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by other creditors of Borrower, any shareholder of Borrower (whether such shareholder(s) are prosecuting such Indemnity Proceeding in their individual capacity or derivatively on behalf of Borrower), any account debtor of Borrower or by any Governmental Authority.
c.This indemnification shall apply to any Indemnity Proceeding arising during the pendency of any bankruptcy proceeding filed by or against any Borrower or Guarantor.
d.All out‑of‑pocket fees and expenses of, and all amounts paid to third persons by, an Indemnified Party shall be advanced by Borrower at the request of such Indemnified Party notwithstanding any claim or assertion by Borrower that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Party that such Indemnified Party shall reimburse Borrower if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not so entitled to indemnification hereunder.
e.An Indemnified Party may conduct its own investigation and defense of, and may formulate its own strategy with respect to, any Indemnity Proceeding covered by this Section and, as provided above, all costs and expenses incurred by such Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by Borrower. No action taken by legal counsel chosen by an Indemnified Party in investigating or defending against any such Indemnity Proceeding shall vitiate or in any way impair the obligations and duties of Borrower hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless each such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that: (i) if Borrower is required to indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant hereto; and (ii) Borrower has provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party that Borrower has the financial wherewithal to reimburse such Indemnified Party for any amount paid by such Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnity Proceeding, such Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
f.If and to the extent that the obligations of Borrower hereunder are unenforceable for any reason, Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law.
g.Borrower’s obligations hereunder shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment in full in cash of the Obligations, and are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any of the other obligations set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party.
h.Notwithstanding anything in this Section 12.10, the Loan Documents, or the other related documents to the contrary, in no event shall Borrower be responsible or liable to any Indemnified Party for (a) any claims caused by the fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or criminal acts of any Indemnified Party or any contractor, agent or any other party engaged by or within the direct control of any Indemnified Party, or (b) any hazardous materials first used, generated, manufactured, stored, treated, released, discharged or disposed in, on, under or about any Property by any person other than Borrower, Guarantor and their respective Affiliates after the earlier of (i) the date of foreclosure on the applicable security instrument on such Property (or Administrative Agent's acceptance of a deed in lieu thereof) or (ii) the date Administrative Agent takes possession of the applicable property through the appointment of a receiver; provided, however,

87


notwithstanding the foregoing, if any hazardous materials are discovered in, on, under or about such property after such applicable date that are consistent with the ownership, occupancy, use or operation of such property which occurred during the applicable borrower's ownership, occupancy, use or operation of such property, then, solely for the purpose of determining the extent of Borrower's liability hereunder (and not for the benefit of any third party), there is a presumption that the use, generation, manufacture, storage, disposal of, transportation or presence of any of said hazardous materials in, on, under, about, or migrating from, such property occurred during the applicable borrower's ownership, occupancy, use or operation of such property, and Borrower shall continue to be obligated to indemnify hereunder unless Borrower overcomes said presumption with the burden of proof.
References in this Section 12.10 to “Lender” or “Lenders” shall be deemed to include such Persons (and their Affiliates) in their capacity as Specified Derivatives Providers.
Section 12.11    Termination; Survival.

At such time as: (a) all of the Commitments have been terminated; (b) none of the Lenders is obligated any longer under this Agreement to make any Loans and (c) all Obligations (other than obligations which survive as provided in the following sentence) have been paid and satisfied in full, this Agreement shall terminate. The indemnities to which Administrative Agent and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of Sections 5.1, 5.4, 12.8, 12.2 and 12.10 and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the provisions of Section 12.5, shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect Administrative Agent and the Lenders: (i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, against events arising after such termination as well as before; and (ii) at all times after any such party ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior to the date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement.
Section 12.12    Severability of Provisions.

If any provision under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall remain in full force as thought the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been part of the Loan Documents.
Section 12.13    GOVERNING LAW.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY UNCONDITIONALLY AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY CLAIM TO ASSERT THAT THE LAW OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION GOVERNS THIS AGREEMENT.
Section 12.14    Counterparts.

To facilitate execution, this Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts as may be convenient or required. It shall not be necessary that the signature of, or on behalf of, each party, or that the signature of all persons required to bind any party, appear on each counterpart. All counterparts shall collectively constitute a single document. It shall not be

88


necessary in making proof of this document to produce or account for more than a single counterpart containing the respective signatures of, or on behalf of, each of the parties hereto.
Section 12.15    Obligations with Respect to Borrower.

The obligations of Borrower to direct or prohibit the taking of certain actions by Borrower and Guarantor as specified herein shall be absolute and not subject to any defense Borrower may have that Borrower does not Control such other Borrower or Guarantor.
Section 12.16    USA Patriot Act Notice; Compliance.

In order for Administrative Agent to comply with the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56), prior to any Lender or Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America becoming a party hereto, Administrative Agent may request, and such Lender or Participant shall provide to Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for Administrative Agent to comply with federal law.
Section 12.17    Independence of Covenants.

All covenants hereunder shall be given in any jurisdiction independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.
Section 12.18    Limitation on Lender Party Liability Liability.

None of Administrative Agent or any Lender, or any affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or the Fee Letter, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, the Fee Letter, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or financed hereby.
Section 12.19    Entire Agreement.

This Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan Documents and the Fee Letter embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto. There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto.

Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary, in no event shall Administrative Agent or the Lenders, or any other Person claiming by, through or under the

89


Administrative Agent or any Lender, have any recourse under any Loan Document against any principal, director, officer, employee, shareholder, partner, member, trustee, agent or Affiliate of Borrower or any Person owning, directly or indirectly, any legal or beneficial interest in Borrower, or any successor, assign or Affiliate of the foregoing other than Borrower and Guarantor under the Loan Documents to which Borrower or Guarantor is a party.
Section 12.21    Construction.

Administrative Agent, Borrower and each Lender acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by Administrative Agent, Borrower and each Lender.

EXHIBIT A
Form of Assignment and Assumption Agreement


THIS ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT dated as of _______, 20__ (the “Agreement”) by and among _________________________ (the “Assignor”), _________________________ (the “Assignee”), RPT 1109 COMMERCE BOULEVARD, LLC, RPT ANAHEIM HILLS OFFICE PLAZA, LLC, RPT HERITAGE PARKWAY, LLC, RPT TERRA NOVA PLAZA, LLC AND RPT WALLINGFORD PLAZA, LLC, each a Delaware limited liability company (individually or collectively, “Borrower,” and with such term meaning “any Borrower,” “each Borrower,” “a Borrower,” “every Borrower” or “all Borrowers,” as determined by Administrative Agent in its sole discretion), and Wells Fargo BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”).

WHEREAS, the Assignor is a Lender under that certain Revolving Loan Agreement dated as of __________________ ___, 20__ (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, the financial institutions party thereto and their assignees under Section 12.6. thereof, the Administrative Agent, and the other parties thereto;

WHEREAS, the Assignor desires to assign to the Assignee all or a portion of the Assignor’s Revolving Commitment under the Credit Agreement, all on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, the Borrower and Administrative Agent consent[s] to such assignment on the terms and conditions set forth herein.

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