ARTICLE II
AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE LOAN
 
Section 2.01. The Loan. Lender agrees, on the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth, to make a single, non-recurring term loan advance to the Borrower on
the Closing Date in the original principal amount of $7,500,000 (the “Loan”). No
repayment or prepayment of the Loan may be reborrowed by the Borrower.
 
Section 2.02. [Intentionally Omitted].
 
Section 2.03. Repayment. The principal amount outstanding of the Loan and all
other Obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents shall be Paid in Full
on the Maturity Date.
 
Section 2.04. Interest.
 
(a) Interest Rate. The “Note Rate” shall be the rate of interest per annum equal
to the sum of 7.25 percent (the “Spread”) plus the LIBOR, provided however that
the Note Rate in no event shall be less than 9 percent per annum (the “Minimum
Interest Rate”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Funded Debt to
EBITDA Ratio is less than 2.0:1.0 for two sequential Fiscal Quarters, then the
Spread shall be reduced from 7.25 percent to 6.25 percent for so long as the
Funded Debt to EBITDA Ratio remains less than 2.0:1.0 (the “Reduced Spread
Threshold”). In the event Borrower no longer satisfies the Reduced Spread
Threshold, the Spread shall immediately revert back to 7.25 percent. Each
component of the Note Rate is expressed as a percentage of the principal balance
of the Loan. The outstanding principal balance of the Loan shall bear interest
at a rate per annum equal to the Note Rate. The Note Rate for each Interest
Period shall be determined by reference to the LIBOR in effect on the second
Business Day immediately preceding the day on which such Interest Period
commences, or if major commercial banks in London, England are not generally
open for interbank or foreign exchange transactions on such second Business Day,
then on the next Business Day when such banks are so open. If Lender determines
that for any period of time the LIBOR Reference Rate is not determinable in
accordance with the criteria set forth herein, then for such period of time
Lender shall select another generally recognized index in substitution for the
LIBOR Reference Rate for purposes of determining the Note Rate, and Lender may
adjust the Spread to achieve a Note Rate which Lender in good faith estimates
reasonably approximates the Note Rate that would have been applicable had the
LIBOR Reference Rate been available, and the Note Rate determined in accordance
with this sentence conclusively shall be the Note Rate hereunder applicable to
such period, subject to the Minimum Interest Rate.
 
(b) Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, the outstanding principal amount of the Loan shall bear interest
(“Default Interest”), after as well as before entry of judgment thereon to the
extent permitted by law, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 4% per annum
plus the Note Rate (the “Default Rate”). All interest accruing and payable
pursuant to this clause (b) shall be capitalized as described in subsection (a)
above.
 
Credit and Security Agreement
24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(c) Excess Interest. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained
herein or in the Note or the other Loan Documents, Borrower shall not be
required to pay, and Lender shall not be permitted to collect, any amount of
interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest permitted by law (the
“Excess Interest”). If any Excess Interest is provided for, whether in the Note
Rate, the Default Rate, through any contingency or event, or otherwise, or is
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have been provided for herein
or in the Note or in any of the other Loan Documents, then in such event: (1)
the provisions of this subsection shall govern and control; (2) Borrower shall
not be obligated to pay any Excess Interest; (3) any Excess Interest that Lender
may have received hereunder shall be, at Lender’s option, to the fullest extent
provided by applicable law: (a) applied as a credit against either or both of
the outstanding principal balance of the Loan or accrued and unpaid interest
thereunder (not to exceed the maximum amount permitted by law), (b) refunded to
the payor thereof, or (c) any combination of the foregoing; (4) the Note Rate
provided for herein shall be automatically reduced to the maximum lawful rate
allowed from time to time under applicable law (the “Maximum Rate”), and this
Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to have been
and shall be, reformed and modified to reflect such reduction; and (5) Borrower
shall not have any action against Lender for any damages arising out of the
payment or collection of any Excess Interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if
for any period of time interest on any Obligation is calculated at the Maximum
Rate rather than the applicable rate under the Note, and thereafter such
applicable rate becomes less than the Maximum Rate, the rate of interest payable
on such Obligations shall, to the extent permitted by law, remain at the Maximum
Rate until Lender shall have received or accrued the amount of interest which
Lender would have received or accrued during such period on Obligations had the
rate of interest not been limited to the Maximum Rate during such period. If the
Default Rate shall be finally determined to be unlawful, then the applicable
Note Rate shall be applicable during any time when the Default Rate would have
been applicable hereunder, provided however that if the Maximum Rate is greater
or lesser than the applicable Note Rate, then the foregoing provisions of this
paragraph shall apply.
 
Section 2.05. Prepayments.
 
(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may prepay all or a portion of the Loan
upon at least five (5) Business Days’ written notice to the Lender stating the
proposed date and aggregate principal amount of the prepayment, together with
(i) interest accrued to and including the date of such prepayment on the
principal amount prepaid but not yet capitalized and added thereto, (ii) any
Additional Financing Costs, and (iii) the prepayment fee applicable thereto (if
any) pursuant to Section 2.05(c), and provided that any partial prepayment shall
be in an aggregate minimum principal amount of $100,000.
 
(b) Mandatory Prepayments.
 
(i) Excess Cash Flow Prepayments. Within ten (10) Business Days after the date
of the receipt by Lender of the financial statements for each Fiscal Quarter or,
if such financial statements are not delivered to Lender on the date such
statements are required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.03, ten (10)
Business Days after the date such statements are required to be delivered to
Lender pursuant to Section 5.03, Borrower shall, absolutely and unconditionally
without notice or demand, pay to Lender an amount equal to fifty percent (50%)
of the Excess Cash Flow of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for the immediately
preceding Fiscal Quarter first for deposit into the Remodel Reserve until the
amount of funds in the Remodel Reserve equals the Remodel Reserve Threshold
Amount and then any remaining amount of such Excess Cash Flow shall then be
applied to prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loan (each such
prepayment, an “Excess Cash Flow Prepayment”).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(ii) Asset Sales. If Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower at any time or from
time to time makes or agrees in writing to make an Asset Sale, then (A) the
Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of such proposed Asset Sale (including the
amount of the estimated Net Cash Proceeds to be received by Borrower or such
Subsidiary of Borrower in respect thereof) and (B) within two (2) Business Days
after such Asset Sale, Borrower shall, absolutely and unconditionally without
notice or demand, prepay the outstanding principal amount of the Loan in an
amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Cash Proceeds payable to
or for the benefit of such Person in connection therewith; provided, however,
(y) that such Net Cash Proceeds from the Asset Sale of any of the Properties To
Be Relocated shall first be applied for deposit into the Remodel Reserve until
the amount of funds in the Remodel Reserve equals the Remodel Reserve Threshold
Amount, with any remaining amount then being applied by Lender to prepay the
outstanding principal amount of the Loan and (z) such Net Cash Proceeds from the
Asset Sale of any of the Non-Operating Properties shall be deposited into
Borrower’s Operating Account.
 
(iii) Debt Issuance or Equity Issuance. Within two (2) Business Days after any
Debt Issuance or Equity Issuance by Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower,
Borrower shall, absolutely and unconditionally without notice or demand, prepay
the outstanding principal amount of the Loan in an amount equal to one hundred
(100%) percent of the Net Cash Proceeds payable to or for the benefit of such
Person in connection with such Debt Issuance or Equity Issuance (except in
connection with any Debt Issuance and/or Equity Issuance made for the purpose of
a business acquisition by Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower pursuant to a
business plan prepared by Borrower and approved by Lender in Lender’s sole
discretion).
 
(iv) Property Loss Event. If Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower shall at any
time or from time to time suffer a Property Loss Event, then (A) the Borrower
shall promptly notify Lender of such Property Loss Event (including the amount
of the estimated Net Cash Proceeds to be received by the Borrower or such
Subsidiary of Borrower in respect thereof) and (B) immediately upon the receipt
by or on behalf of Borrower or any Subsidiary of Borrower (or of Lender as the
loss payee with respect thereto) of any proceeds of insurance or condemnation
award in respect of any Property Loss Event, Borrower shall, absolutely and
unconditionally without notice or demand, prepay the outstanding principal
amount of the Loan in an amount equal to one hundred (100%) percent of the Net
Cash Proceeds payable to or for the benefit of such Person in connection
therewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that (1) no Event of
Default exists, (2) Borrower deposits such Net Cash Proceeds immediately with
Lender and (3) Borrower promptly commences and diligently prosecutes to
completion the Restoration (as hereinafter defined), then such proceeds shall be
disbursed by Lender to, or as directed by, Borrower from time to time during the
course of the Restoration, but not more frequently than once a month and in
requested amounts of not less than $50,000, upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to Lender that (y) all materials installed and work and labor
performed in connection with the Restoration have been paid for in full, and (z)
there exist no notices of pendency, mechanic’s or materialman’s liens or notices
of intention to file same, or any other liens or encumbrances of any nature
whatsoever on the applicable Property. “Restoration” means the repair and
restoration of the applicable Property as nearly as possible to the condition of
such Property prior to the casualty or loss.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(c) Prepayment Fee. If the Borrower makes any payment after acceleration of the
Obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents or makes or is required to
make a full or partial prepayment of the Loan, the Borrower shall pay the
Lender, as liquidated damages and compensation for the costs of being prepared
to make funds available hereunder, an additional amount equal to the Applicable
Percentage multiplied by the sum of the principal amount of the Loan paid after
acceleration or prepaid. As used herein, the term “Applicable Percentage” shall
mean: (x) 2.0%, in the case of any prepayment prior to the first anniversary of
the Closing Date, (y) 1.0%, in the case of any prepayment after the first
anniversary of the Closing Date and prior to the second anniversary of the
Closing Date; and (z) 1.0%, in the case of any prepayment on or after the second
anniversary of the Closing Date and prior to the third anniversary of the
Closing Date. The Borrower agrees that the Applicable Percentages are a
reasonable calculation of the Lender’s lost profits in view of the difficulties
and impracticality of determining actual damages resulting from a prepayment
and/or early repayment of the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prepayment
fee shall be payable by the Borrower upon any prepayment of the Loan on or after
the third anniversary of the Closing Date or in connection with any mandatory
prepayments pursuant to Section 2.05(b) .
 
(d) Information. Within four (4) Business Days after receipt of notice of any
optional or mandatory prepayment, the Lender shall notify the Borrower of
accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount to be prepaid and all other
amounts payable concurrently therewith pursuant to Section 2.05(a).
 
(e) Notice. Each prepayment shall be accompanied by written notice to the Lender
of the specific provision of Section 2.05(a) or 2.05(b) under which such
prepayment is to be made, and identifying the source of the proceeds of such
prepayment.
 
Section 2.06. Increased Costs.
 
(a) If Lender determines that the adoption of or any change in, after the date
hereof, any Law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank
or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects
or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by
Lender or any entity controlling Lender and that the amount of such capital is
increased by or based upon the existence of Lender’s loans or obligations
hereunder, then, upon written demand by Lender, the Borrower shall pay to the
Lender from time to time within ten (10) Business Days after the Borrower’s
receipt of such demand, additional amounts sufficient to compensate Lender or
such entity in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that Lender
reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence
of Lender’s loans or obligations hereunder. A certificate setting forth in
reasonable detail such amounts and the basis for the determination thereof,
submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error.
 
Credit and Security Agreement
27

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(b) If Lender determines that the adoption of or any change in, after the date
hereof, any Law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank
or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law)
subjects or will subject Lender to any Taxes (other than Indemnified Taxes and
Excluded Taxes covered by Section 2.09) on its loans, loan principal, letters of
credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other
liabilities or capital attributable thereto, and the result shall be to increase
the cost to such Lender of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining the
Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or to increase the
cost to such Lender, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable
by such Lender, whether of principal, interest or any other amount then, upon
request of such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender, as the case may be, for such
additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. A certificate setting forth in
reasonable detail such amounts and the basis for the determination thereof,
submitted to the Borrower by such Lender shall be conclusive and binding for all
purposes, absent manifest error.
 
(c) Lender will make the determinations contemplated by Sections 2.06(a) and (b)
in good faith and without discrimination against the Borrower (as compared to
other similarly situated customers of Lender and its Affiliates); provided that
Lender shall not be obligated to take any steps that it determines, in its sole
discretion, to be adverse to its business or operations. Lender shall notify
Borrower of any event occurring after the Closing Date that will entitle Lender
to compensation pursuant to this Section 2.06, as promptly as practicable. No
Person purchasing from Lender a participation in the Loan (as opposed to an
assignment) shall be entitled to any payment from or on behalf of Borrower
pursuant to Section 2.06(a) or (b) which would be in excess of the applicable
proportionate amount (based on the portion of the Loan in which such Person is
participating) which would then be payable to Lender if Lender had not sold a
participation in that portion of the Loan.
 
Section 2.07. [Intentionally Omitted].
 
Section 2.08. Payments and Computations.
 
(a) Unless changed in accordance herewith, the “Payment Date” shall be the first
(1st) day of each calendar month prior to the Maturity Date, beginning with the
first full calendar month after the Closing Date.
 
(b) On each Payment Date, Borrower shall pay to Lender all interest having
accrued hereunder during the immediately preceding Interest Period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if interest for the first Interest Period shall
have been paid in full in advance at the Closing, then no payment shall be due
on the Payment Date in the first full calendar month thereafter. In addition to
payments of interest as required herein, Borrower shall repay principal to
Lender monthly in an amount equal to $62,500 commencing on the Payment Date in
the thirteenth full calendar month after the Closing Date, and continuing on
each Payment Datethereafter until the Maturity Date. The amounts of such
principal payments shall not be affected by changes in the Note Rate nor by
partial prepayments.
 
Credit and Security Agreement

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
(c) The Borrower shall make each payment hereunder, irrespective of any right of
counterclaim or set-off, not later than 3:00 P.M. on the day when due in Dollars
to the Lender at the Lender’s Account in immediately available funds.
 
(d) The Borrower hereby authorizes Lender, if and to the extent payment owed to
Lender is not made when due hereunder, to charge from time to time against any
or all of the Borrower’s accounts with Lender any amount so due.
 
(e) All computations of interest and fees hereunder shall be made on the basis
of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including the
first day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such
interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Lender of an interest
rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error.
 
(f) Whenever any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than
a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day,
and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of
payment of interest or fees, as the case may be; provided, however , that, if
such extension would cause payment of interest on the Loan to be made in the
next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the immediately
preceding Business Day.
 
Section 2.09. Taxes.
 
(a) Withholding. Except as required by applicable law, any and all payments by
or on account of any Obligation of the Borrower under a Loan Document shall be
made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes; provided, however, that if any deduction of Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes shall be required, then (i) the Borrower shall increase the sum payable so
that after all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 2.09 ) the Lender and each of its Tax
Related Persons receives and retains an amount equal to the sum it would have
received and retained had no such deductions been made; (ii) the Borrower shall
make such deductions; and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted
to the relevant Governmental Authorities in accordance with applicable law.
 
(b) Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower shall pay all Other Taxes to the
relevant Governmental Authorities in accordance with applicable law. The
Borrower shall deliver to Lender official receipts or other evidence of such
payment reasonably satisfactory to Lender in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes
payable hereunder promptly after payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes.
 
(c) Indemnification. The Borrower shall indemnify Lender (including for these
purposes an Assignee and a Participant) for the full amount of any Indemnified
Taxes and Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or
asserted or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 2.09) paid or
incurred by the Lender or its respective Tax Related Persons, as the case may
be, relating to, arising out of, or in connection with, this Agreement, any
other Loan Document or any payment or transaction contemplated hereby or thereby
(including any Obligation under the Loan Documents). Such indemnification shall
be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which Lender makes written demand
therefor specifying in reasonable detail the nature and amount of such Taxes or
Other Taxes. Such written demand shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(d) Receipts. As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or
Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall
deliver to the Lender 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 the Lender.
 
(e) Withholding Forms. To the extent legally entitled to do so, the Lender shall
furnish to the Borrower Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN, W-8ECI, W-8IMY or
W-9 and, if applicable for claiming an exemption from withholding under Sections

such Non-U.S. Lender is not a bank for purposes of Section 881(c) of the
Internal Revenue Code, is not a 10% shareholder (within the meaning of Section
871(h)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code) of the Borrower or any guarantor and
is not a controlled foreign corporation related to the Borrower or any guarantor
of any Loan Document (within the meaning of Section 864(d)(4) of the Internal
Revenue Code)), in each case, to the extent necessary to obtain a reduction of
or exemption from withholding Taxes imposed by the United States of America with
respect to payments made by the Borrower under any Loan Document. Lender shall
provide such forms upon request by the Borrower prior to the first Payment Date
after becoming a party to this Agreement and thereafter when reasonably and
timely requested by the Borrower (as applicable). “United States persons”
(within the meaning of Code section 7701(a)(30)) that are “exempt recipients”
(within the meaning of Treasury Regulations section 1.6049-4(c)(1)(ii) (without
regard to the second sentence thereof)) shall not be required to furnish an
Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, except to the extent required under Treasury
Regulations section 1.1441-1(d)(4) (if applicable) or upon the request of
Borrower. Neither Lender, nor any of its Tax Related Persons shall be required
to make available its Tax Returns (or any other information that it deems
confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
 
(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. If the Lender determines in good faith that it
has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid
additional amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an
amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made,
or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this Section with respect to
the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket
expenses of Lender, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the
relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the

or any part thereof in one or more parcels at public or private sale, or at any

required by law, at least ten (10) days’ notice to the Borrower of the time and
place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made
shall constitute reasonable notification. The Lender shall not be obligated to

notice of sale having been given. The Lender may adjourn any public or private
sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and

hereunder and (b) exercise its rights under the Account Control Agreement over
the Operating Account to give directions and instructions with respect to the
Operating Account, and to exclude Borrower from access to the Operating Account

covered thereby. All payments received by the Lender at any time after an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing shall be applied to the Obligations
under the Loan Documents as set forth in Section 8.05.

This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Borrower

Payment in Full of the Secured Obligations on the Debt Collection Date, (ii) be
binding upon the Borrower and its successors and assigns, and (iii) inure,

in the Loan to any other Person to the extent permitted by Article X , and such
other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect
thereof granted to the Lenders herein or otherwise. Upon the Payment in Full of
the Secured Obligations on the Debt Collection Date, the Borrower shall be
entitled to the return, upon its request and at its expense, of such of the
Borrower Pledged Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise applied

hereafter executed. For the purpose hereof, “Quiet Enjoyment” shall mean in
connection with the rights of a licensee, the Lender’s agreement that its rights
under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and in the Borrower
Pledged Collateral are subject to the rights of such licensee to distribute,
exhibit and/or to exploit the rights licensed to them under such exploitation
agreement, and to receive prints or tapes and other delivery items or have
access to preprint material or master tapes and other items to which they are
entitled in connection therewith and that, even if the Lender shall become the
owner of the Borrower Pledged Collateral in case of an Event of Default, the
Lender’s ownership rights shall be subject to the rights of said parties under
such agreement; provided, however , that such licensee shall not be in default
under the relevant exploitation agreement. The Lender agrees that upon the
reasonable request of the Borrower it will provide written confirmation (in a
form reasonably acceptable to the Lender) of such rights of Quiet Enjoyment to
licensees under the exploitation agreements. None of the foregoing constitutes
an agreement by the Lender to the granting of any security interest to any
Person under any exploitation agreement, except as otherwise permitted by this
Agreement.

ARTICLE IX
RESERVES
 
Section 9.01. Remodel Reserve.
 
(a) Borrower shall deposit with Lender (or such agent as Lender may designate in
writing from time to time) $1,500,000 at Closing and additional funds as set
forth in Section 2.05(b) for the purposes set forth in this Section (said funds,
together with any investment earnings thereon and additions thereto, the
“Remodel Reserve”). Funds contained in the Remodel Reserve shall be utilized by
Borrower solely for the Required Capital Expenditures described in Schedule 20
attached hereto (the “Scheduled Work”), and following completion of all the
Scheduled Work, any other Required Capital Expenditures and any liquidated
damages payment owed to KFC Corporation pursuant to Section 1(i)(vii) of the
Remodel Agreement, and shall not be used by Borrower for purposes for which any
other Reserve is established. In the event that the funds available from the
Remodel Reserve are insufficient to pay for the required work, Borrower shall
pay the amount of such deficiency. Upon written application of Borrower,
Borrower shall be entitled to draw upon the Remodel Reserve to pay for the costs
of such work after such costs shall have been incurred by Borrower and invoiced,
provided that (i) the Reserve Disbursement Conditions shall have been satisfied,
and (ii) where such Schedule identifies a specific dollar amount to a specific
work item, no funds shall be drawn from the Reserve for such item in excess of
the specified dollar amount, except only if Borrower shall demonstrate to
Lender’s reasonable satisfaction that the additional funds are available from
savings from another work item that has been completed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(b) Where this Agreement provides that the “Reserve Disbursement Conditions”
shall apply, the same are as follows: (i) no Event of Default shall exist, and
no uncured Default shall exist, other than a Default that will be cured by the
payment from the Remodel Reserve that is then being requested, (ii) Borrower
shall provide invoices and receipts if applicable and such other evidence as
Lender may reasonably request to substantiate that the conditions for the
disbursement shall have been satisfied, (iii) disbursements from the Remodel
Reserve shall be requested no more frequently than once each month, (iv) funds
from the Remodel shall be used only to pay (or to reimburse Borrower for payment
of) costs and expenses incurred in arms’ length transactions to Persons who are
not Affiliates of Borrower, (v) each draw request shall at least equal to
$100,000, (vi) all documents and information provided shall be in form and
substance satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable discretion, (vii) Lender
shall have received evidence reasonably satisfactory to Lender that, KFC
Corporation has approved any Scheduled Work for which Borrower is requesting
disbursement, (viii) if applicable, Borrower shall provide Lender with lien
waivers and other documentation of lawful and workmanlike progress or completion
and lien-free status, all as may be reasonably requested by Lender, including,
where applicable, copies of building permits and other required authorizations,
inspection sign-offs, certificates of occupancy, and other regulatory
acknowledgements of progress, completion, and compliance with applicable legal
and regulatory requirements, and (ix) Lender shall have completed such
inspections (if any) as it deems appropriate under the circumstances, and the
results of the same shall be satisfactory to Lender in its reasonable
discretion. Lien waivers may be conditioned on payment, in which case Lender may
(but need not) disburse payment directly to the applicable contractor. Lender
and KFC Corporation shall respond to Borrower’s disbursement request within 10
business days after receipt by such of all documents and other information
required to be delivered to Lender pursuant to this Section 9.01(b).
 
(c) Borrower hereby grants and pledges to Lender a security interest in any and
all monies now or hereafter comprising any Reserves, including all funds paid to
or held by Lender for such purposes, and all earnings on and proceeds of any or
all of the foregoing, in each case as security for the payment of the Loan and
the payment and performance of all other Obligations. Upon the occurrence of a
Default and prior to an Event of Default, Lender shall have no obligation to
disburse any amount from any Reserve, other than a disbursement that will
directly cure the Default, and as to which all other conditions shall have been
satisfied. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lender shall have all
rights and remedies under the Loan Documents and under applicable law. Without
limitation, Lender shall have no obligation to disburse any amount from any
Reserve, and Lender is expressly authorized to hold all or any portion of the
Reserves and not apply the same to the Obligations, to apply all or any portion
of the Reserves against any of the Obligations in any order that Lender
determines, to apply all or any portion of the Reserves otherwise as provided
herein, or to dispose of any or all of the same in accordance with applicable
law.
 
(d) Lender shall invest the funds in the Reserves in Permitted Investments,
except that Lender shall have no obligation to invest or pay any interest or
other return on (i) other Reserves of $25,000 or less, (ii) funds held or to be
held for 45 days or less, or (iii) any funds after an Event of Default. Subject
to the exceptions specified above, all such investment earnings shall be taxed
to Borrower, shall be added to the applicable Reserve, and shall be held,
disbursed and applied in the same manner and under the same conditions as the
balance of the subject Reserve. Without limitation, funds may be held in
Permitted Investments that are short-term money market investments or in
so-called money market or market rate accounts. Provided that Lender shall hold
or invest the Reserves in accordance with standards that Lender reasonably
determines to be accepted or customary among holders of similar funds in
connection with rated debt or rated pools of debt, Lender shall not be
responsible for any loss or failure to produce any return. Further and in any
event, Lender shall not be responsible to produce any specific rate of return.
Borrower shall provide to Lender or to the applicable bank, at any time upon
request of Lender, IRS Forms W-8 and W-9.
 
Credit and Security Agreement
61

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(e) Lender shall have the right at any time to request from Borrower written
authorization in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, separate and apart
from the authorizations set forth in the Loan Documents, to make (or refrain
from making) any payment from or with respect to any Reserve (including payments
to Lender for credit against the obligations of Borrower hereunder), or to take
(or refrain from taking) any action pertaining to any Reserve. Lender shall have
no obligation to request any such written authorization ever, and Lender’s not
requesting any such written authorization shall not give rise to any rights in
Borrower or any obligation, liability or detriment of Lender. Further, Lender’s
requesting such written authorization in any case or cases shall not give rise
to any obligation to request such written authorization in any subsequent case.
If such written authorization is given, then Lender shall have the right to rely
on the same irrevocably. If Lender requests any such written authorization for
any matter which the Loan Documents or applicable law permits or requires Lender
to do under the circumstances then in effect or as contemplated in such request
for written authorization, then until such time as Lender receives such written
authorization (including any time following denial of such written
authorization) Lender is hereby irrevocably authorized to do any one or more of
the following, at Lender’s option (i) hold all or any part of the applicable
Reserve without making payment therefrom, (ii) make any payments from the
Reserve that are then permitted or required under the Loan Documents or
applicable law, or (iii) exercise or refrain from exercising any other rights or
remedies pertaining to the Reserves that are then permitted under the Loan
Documents or under applicable law. Lender’s rights under the foregoing sentence
may be exercised simultaneously or seriatim in any combination or sequence. If
Lender shall exercise any of such rights by reason of not having received any
requested written authorization, and if the requested written authorization is
subsequently given (or if a denial of written authorization is subsequently
rescinded), Lender shall not then be required to undo the results of any such
exercise of rights, and Lender shall not be bound by any obligation which Lender
determines in its reasonable discretion is inconsistent with any of the rights
that have been so exercised. The rights of Lender under this subsection shall
govern and prevail notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Loan
Documents or elsewhere. Without limitation, the rights of Lender under this
subsection shall govern and prevail over any provision of the Loan Documents
which imposes on Lender any obligation whatsoever pertaining to any Reserve.
 
(f) This Article shall apply to all Reserves that are specifically identified in
this Article IX and also to any other Reserves that are required pursuant to the
Loan Documents.
 
(g) Borrower’s obligations to make deposits into each Reserve are separate from
Borrower’s obligations to make deposits into each other Reserve, and from its
obligations to pay as and when due all principal, interest, and other amounts
owing under the Loan Documents. Without limitation, nothing in this Article
shall excuse Borrower’s performance of any obligation set forth elsewhere in
this Agreement or in the Loan Documents. The Reserves shall be held in Lender’s
name at one or more financial institutions selected by Lender in its sole
discretion. The Reserves are not and shall not be trust funds. Lender is
authorized to commingle moneys held in the Reserves among the Reserves and with
other moneys held by Lender. Lender may (but need not) disburse payment from any
Reserve directly to the applicable vendor, by joint check to Borrower and the
applicable contractor, or to Borrower, in each case as determined by Lender in
its sole discretion. To the extent that Reserves are funded from Loan proceeds,
whether at Closing or otherwise, the amount so funded shall constitute principal
outstanding hereunder. Upon full and final payment of the Obligations, any funds
remaining in any Reserve shall be disbursed to Borrower.

ARTICLE X
ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS
 
Section 10.01.Assignments and Participations.
 
(a) Borrower acknowledges that Lender may on or after the Closing Date sell and
assign one or more participation interests in and to the Loan, or pledge,
hypothecate or encumber, or sell and assign all or any portion of the Loan, to
or with such domestic or foreign banks, insurance companies, pension funds,
trusts or other institutional lenders or other Persons, parties or investors
(including, without limitation, grantor trusts, owner trusts, special purpose
corporations, REMICs, FASITs, real estate investment trusts or other similar or
comparable investment vehicles) as may be selected by Lender in its sole and
absolute discretion and on terms and conditions satisfactory to Lender in its
sole and absolute discretion; provided, however, that Lender shall not be
entitled to do any of the foregoing to or with a Direct Competitor. Borrower and
all other Persons associated or connected with the Loan or the Property shall
cooperate in all respects with Lender, in connection with the sale of
participation interests in, or the pledge, hypothecation or encumbrance or sale
or assignment of all or any portion of, the Loan, and shall, in connection
therewith, execute and deliver such estoppels, certificates, instruments and
documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender. Borrower grants to Lender
the right to distribute to any Investor or any Rating Agency rating securities
or the Loan all documents and information which Lender now has or may hereafter
acquire relating to the Loan, Borrower, any guarantor, any indemnitor, the
Pledged Collateral and/or the Property, which shall have been furnished by
Borrower, any guarantor, any indemnitor, or any party to any Loan Document, or
which was otherwise furnished in connection with the Loan, as Lender in its
discretion determines necessary or desirable. If requested by Lender, Borrower
shall execute and deliver, and shall cause each other Person associated or
connected with the Loan or the Property to execute and deliver, at no cost or
expense to Borrower, such documents and instruments as may be necessary to split
the Loan into two or more loans evidenced by separate sets of notes and secured
by separate sets of other related Loan Documents, or to terminate any
cross-default provisions with respect to any other loan, to the full extent
required by Lender to facilitate the sale of participation interests in the Loan
or the sale of the Loan or the making of a loan to Lender secured by the Loan,
it being agreed that (a) any such splitting of the Loan will not adversely
affect or diminish the rights of Borrower as presently set forth herein and in
the other Loan Documents and will not increase the respective obligations and
liabilities of Borrower or any other Person associated or connected with the
Loan, the Collateral or the Property, (b) the Loan Documents securing the Loan
as so split will have such priority of lien as may be specified by Lender, and
(c) the retained interest of Lender in the Loan as so split shall be allocated
to or among one or more of such separate loans in a manner specified by Lender
in its sole and absolute discretion.
 
Credit and Security Agreement
63

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
(b) Pursuant to any assignment or participation of all or any portion of the
Loan as contemplated in this Section to any Person (an “Assignee”) (a) Lender
may, subject to compliance with Section 12.14 , transfer its obligations
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (or may transfer the portion
thereof corresponding to the transferred portion of the Obligations) and, except
as otherwise specified herein, any Assignee shall succeed to the rights and
obligations of Lender and a Credit Agreement Indemnified Party hereunder in
respect of the transferred portion, and (b) Lender shall relinquish its rights
and be released from its obligations hereunder and under the Loan Documents as
to the transferred portion. The liabilities of Lender and each of the other
Assignees shall be separate and not joint and several. Neither Lender nor any
Assignee shall be responsible for the obligations of any other Assignee.
 
(c) Lender, each Assignee and each participant and their respective Affiliates
may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and
generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, any Affiliate of
Borrower, any Subsidiary and any Person who may do business with or own
interests in or securities of any Borrower or any such Affiliate or Subsidiary,
without any duty to account therefor.
 
(d) This Agreement is being entered into by Lender individually and as agent for
all present and future Assignees, and privity of contract is hereby created
among Lender and all present and future Assignees, on the one hand, and
Borrower, on the other hand.
 
(e) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the
other Loan Documents into one or more separate notes, pledge agreements and
other security documents (the “Severed Loan Documents ”) in such denominations
as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of evidencing and
enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and
deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a
severance agreement and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to
effect the severance described in the preceding sentence, all in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender. Borrower hereby absolutely and
irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled with an
interest, in its name and stead to make and execute all documents necessary or
desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower ratifying all that its
said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however, Lender shall not
make or execute any such documents under such power until three (3) days after
notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its
rights under such power.
 
(f) Borrower acknowledges that Lender may incur additional costs and fees
(including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) in connection with the
preparation of documentation regarding the administrative and legal relationship
between the Loan Documents. In addition to all other amounts due from Borrower
hereunder, Borrower hereby agrees to pay to Lender, on demand, any and all such
costs and fees (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees).

ARTICLE XI
INDEMNIFICATION
 
Section 11.01. Indemnification.
 
(a) In addition to all other sums due hereunder or provided for in this
Agreement or in any other Loan Document, the Borrower agrees to pay, indemnify,
defend, and hold the Credit Agreement Indemnified Parties harmless (to the
fullest extent permitted by law) from and against any and all claims, demands,
suits, actions, investigations, proceedings, damages, costs and expenses
including, but not limited to, punitive, exemplary, consequential or indirect
damages and liabilities of any kind (including, without limitation, any
liability attributable to the breach by the Borrower of any of its
representations or warranties in this Agreement or any other Loan Document), and
all reasonable outside attorneys' fees and disbursements and other costs and
expenses actually incurred in connection therewith, or for recovery under
directors' and officers' liability insurance policies maintained by the Borrower
(as and when they are incurred and irrespective of whether suit is brought)
(collectively the “Claims”), at any time asserted against, imposed upon, or
incurred by any Credit Agreement Indemnified Party (i) in connection with or as
a result of or related to the execution, delivery, enforcement, performance, or
administration of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or any
collateral security in connection herewith, or the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, including, without limitation, Claims in respect of any
brokerage commissions or finders fees incurred by the Borrower in connection
with obtaining financing, and (ii) with respect to any claim, investigation,
litigation, or proceeding related to this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents or any transaction in connection with any of the foregoing, or the use
of the proceeds provided hereunder (irrespective of whether any Credit Agreement
Indemnified Party is a party thereto), or any act, omission, event, or
circumstance in any manner related thereto including, but not limited to, in
connection with the enforcement of the indemnification obligations set forth
herein (all the foregoing, collectively, the "Indemnified Amounts"). The
foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower shall not have any
obligation to any Credit Agreement Indemnified Party under this Section 11.01(a)
(x) with respect to any Indemnified Amount that a court of competent
jurisdiction finally determines in a non-appealable decision to have resulted
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Credit Agreement
Indemnified Party or, with respect to subclause (ii) above, any such Person,
(y)for actions between the Borrower or a Lender, where the Borrower is the
prevailing party or (z)with respect to any Indemnified Amount that is asserted
against, imposed upon, or incurred by a Lender in its separate capacity as a
Member of the Borrower. This provision shall survive the Payment in Full of all
Obligations of the Borrower and termination of this Agreement. If any Credit
Agreement Indemnified Party makes any payment to any other Credit Agreement
Indemnified Party with respect to an Indemnified Amount as to which the Borrower
was required to indemnify the Credit Agreement Indemnified Party receiving such
payment, the Credit Agreement Indemnified Party making such payment is entitled
to be indemnified and reimbursed by the Borrower with respect thereto.
 
(b) THE INDEMNIFICATION PROVISIONS IN THIS ARTICLE XI SHALL BE ENFORCEABLE
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE LIABILITY IS BASED UPON PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE ACTS,
CLAIMS OR LAWS (INCLUDING ANY PAST, PRESENT OR FUTURE BULK SALES LAW,
ENVIRONMENTAL LAW, FRAUDULENT TRANSFER ACT, OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH LAW
OR PRODUCTS LIABILITY, SECURITIES OR OTHER LAW) AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY
PERSON (INCLUDING THE PERSON FROM WHOM INDEMNIFICATION IS SOUGHT) ALLEGES OR
PROVES THE SOLE, CONCURRENT, CONTRIBUTORY OR COMPARATIVE NEGLIGENCE OF THE
PERSON SEEKING INDEMNIFICATION OR THE SOLE OR CONCURRENT STRICT LIABILITY
IMPOSED UPON THE PERSON SEEKING INDEMNIFICATION.
 
Credit and Security Agreement
65

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 
 
Section 11.02. Procedure; Notification. Each Credit Agreement Indemnified Party
under this Article XI will, promptly after the receipt of notice of the
commencement of any claim against such Credit Agreement Indemnified Party in
respect of which indemnity may be sought from the Borrower under this Article
XI, notify the Borrower in writing of the commencement thereof. The failure of
any Credit Agreement Indemnified Party so to notify the Borrower of any such
action shall not relieve the Borrower from any liability which it may have to
such Credit Agreement Indemnified Party unless, and only to the extent that,
such failure results in the Borrower's forfeiture of substantive rights or
defenses. In case any such Claim shall be brought against any Credit Agreement
Indemnified Party and it shall notify the Borrower of the commencement thereof,
the Borrower shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof at their own
expense, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Majority Holders; provided,
however , that any Credit Agreement Indemnified Party may, at its own expense,
retain separate counsel to participate in such defense. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in any Claim in which Borrower, on the one hand, and an Credit
Agreement Indemnified Party, on the other hand, is, or is reasonably likely to
become, a party, such Credit Agreement Indemnified Party shall have the right to
employ separate counsel at the Borrower's expense and to control its own defense
of such Claim if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to such Credit Agreement
Indemnified Party, a conflict or potential conflict exists between the Borrower,
on the one hand, and such Credit Agreement Indemnified Party, on the other hand,
that would make such separate representation advisable. The Borrower agrees that
it will not, without the prior written consent of the Credit Agreement
Indemnified Party, settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in
any pending or threatened Claim relating to the matters contemplated hereby (if
any Credit Agreement Indemnified Party is a party thereto or has been actually
threatened to be made a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise or
consent includes an unconditional release of the Lender, and each other Credit
Agreement Indemnified Party from all liability arising or that may arise out of
such claim, action or proceeding. The Borrower shall not be liable for any
settlement of any claim, action or proceeding instituted against a Credit
Agreement Indemnified Party without its written consent, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The rights accorded the Credit Agreement
Indemnified Parties hereunder shall be in addition to any rights that any Credit
Agreement Indemnified Party may have at common law, in equity, by separate
agreement or otherwise.
 
ARTICLE XII
MISCELLANEOUS
 
Section 12.01.Amendments, Actions Under This Agreement, etc. No amendment,
waiver, modification or supplement of any provision of this Agreement, nor
consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom (collectively, an
“Amendment”), shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in
writing and signed by the Borrower and the Lender, and then such Amendment shall
be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for

Borrower, the Lender or any other Credit Agreement Indemnified Party to
exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any Loan

exercise of any other right. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

(c) The rights accorded the Credit Agreement Indemnified Parties hereunder shall
be in addition to any rights that any Credit Agreement Indemnified Party may
have at common law, in equity, by separate agreement or otherwise. This Section

to time, to the fullest extent permitted by law, to set-off and otherwise apply
any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final)
at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by Lender to or for
the credit or the account of the Borrower against any and all of the Obligations
of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document and although such obligations may be unmatured. Lender agrees promptly
to notify the Borrower after any such set-off and application; provided,
however, that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such set-off and application. The rights of Lender under this Section 12.05  are
in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other
rights of set-off) that Lender may have.
 
Section 12.06. Severability The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability in

Section 12.10. Consent to Jurisdiction.
 
(a) The Borrower, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns and
inrespect of its property, hereby irrevocably agrees, to the fullest extent it
may do so under law, in the event it files any action, one effect of which could
be to halt, enjoin, impair or hinder the enforcement of the parties’ obligations
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, or any proceedings to enforce
collection on those obligations, including, but not limited to, anyproceeding
under the United States Bankruptcy Code, to file such action, and hereby
irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may
be heard and determined, in the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York sitting in New York City or in such District’s Bankruptcy
Court, as applicable, assuming venue in that District would be proper, or in the
courts of the State of New York, First Department sitting in New York County.
The Borrower, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent it may do so under law, the defense of
an inconvenient forum to such action or proceeding. To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, the Borrower, on behalf of itself and its
successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably agrees to elect in favor of filing in
or transferring to the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York, assuming that venue in such district would otherwise be proper, to the
extent it has any control over the choice of a district for the filing or
transfer of a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code for any of its
Affiliates as debtor. The execution of this Agreement is expressly conditioned
on the willingness and intention of the Borrower to enforce the provisions of
this Section 12.10. In addition, the Borrower warrants that it is subject to no
preexisting contractual obligations that would interfere with its adherence to
the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.10 and additionally warrants that it
will not enter into other agreements that in any way compromise its ability to
adhere to these provisions without the express written consent of the Lender.
 
(b)Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other
Loan Document may be brought in the courts of the State of New York located in
the County of New York or of the United States for the Southern District of New

proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail,
postage prepaid, to the Borrower at its address for notices as set forth in

(10) days after such mailing. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the
Lender to bring any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or
any other Loan Document against the Borrower in the courts of any other
jurisdiction. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Borrower
hereby irrevocably waives any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the
laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or
in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document brought in the
courts referred to in subsection (a) of this Section 12.10 and hereby further
irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any
such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an
inconvenient forum.

Section 12.14. Registration .
 
(a) Borrower hereby acknowledges and makes the Note a registered obligation for
United States withholding tax purposes. Lender, as Borrower’s non-fiduciary
agent for this purpose, shall be the registrar for the Note (the “Registrar”)
with full power of substitution. In the event the Registrar becomes unable or
unwilling to act as registrar under this Agreement, Lender shall reasonably
designate a successor Registrar or, in the event Lender does not designate a
successor Registrar, then Borrower shall become the successor Registrar
 
(b) The Registrar shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, a register (the
“Register”) for the recordation of the names and addresses of Lender and any
Assignees of all or any portion of Lender’s interest in the Loan, and the
principal amount of the Loan (and stated interest thereon) (the “Registered
Loan”) held by Lender and each Assignee from time to time. Borrower, Lender and
the Assignees shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as
a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be
available for inspection by Borrower at any reasonable time and from time to
time upon reasonable prior notice.
 
(c) A Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may
be assigned or sold in whole or in part only by registration of such assignment
or sale on the Register (and each registered note shall expressly so provide),
which registration the Registrar shall effect immediately upon receipt of
assignment documentation. Any assignment or sale of all or part of such
Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same) may be
effected only by registration of such assignment or sale on the Register, or by
the surrender of the registered note, if any, evidencing the same duly endorsed
by (or accompanied by a written instrument of assignment or sale duly executed
by) the holder of such registered note, whereupon, at the request of the
designated assignee(s) or transferee(s), one or more new registered notes in the
same aggregate principal amount shall be issued by Borrower to the designated
assignee(s) or transferee(s). Prior to the registration of assignment or sale of
any Registered Loan (and the registered note, if any, evidencing the same),
Borrower shall treat the Person in whose name such Registered Loan (and the
registered note, if any, evidencing the same) is registered as the owner thereof
for the purpose of receiving all payments thereon and for all other purposes,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary.
 
(d) If Lender sells participations, Lender shall maintain a register on which it
enters the name and the address of each participant (“Participant”) and the
principal amounts of each Participant’s participation interest in the Loan (or
other rights or obligations) held by it (the “Participant Register”). The
entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error,
and Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant
Register as the owner of such participation interest as the owner thereof for
all purposes notwithstanding any notice to the contrary. In maintaining the
Participant Register, Lender shall be acting as the non-fiduciary agent of the
Borrower solely for purposes of applicable United States federal income tax law
and undertakes no duty, responsibility or obligation to the Borrower (without
limitation, in no event shall such Lender be a fiduciary of the Borrower forany
purpose, except that such Lender shall maintain the Participant Register and,
upon request by the Borrower, Lender shall show the Participant Register to the
Borrower).

(e) The Borrower agrees that each Assignee and Participant shall be entitled to
the benefits of Section 2.06 and Section 2.09 to the same extent as if it were a
Lender; provided that such Assignee or Participant complies with the provisions
of Section 2.06 and Section 2.09 as if it were a Lender; provided, further, that
an Assignee or Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater benefit
under Section 2.06 or Section 2.09 then the applicable Lender would have been
entitled to receive with respect to the portion of the Loan assigned to such
Assignee or participation sold to such Participant, unless the assignment to
such Assignee or sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the
Borrower’s prior written consent.
