writings, however evidenced, whether in physical or electronic form.

(c) In the computation of periods of time from a specified date to a later
specified date, the word “from” means “from and including”; the words “to” and
“until” each mean “to but excluding”; and the word “through” means “to and
including.”

(d) Section headings herein and in the other Credit Documents are included for
convenience of reference only and shall not affect the interpretation of this
Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document.

1.03. Accounting Terms.

(a) All accounting terms not specifically or completely defined herein shall be
construed in conformity with, and all financial data (including financial ratios
and other financial calculations) required to be submitted pursuant to this
Credit Agreement shall be prepared in conformity with, GAAP applied on a
consistent basis, as in effect from time to time, applied in a manner consistent
with that used in preparing the audited financial statements for the fiscal year
that ended December 31, 2010, except as otherwise specifically prescribed
herein.

(b) The Parent Borrower will provide a written summary of material changes in
GAAP or in the consistent application thereof with each annual and quarterly
Compliance Certificate delivered in accordance with Section 6.02(a). If at any
time any change in GAAP or in the consistent application thereof would affect
the computation of any financial ratio or requirement set forth in any Credit
Document, and either the Parent Borrower or the Required Lenders shall so
request, the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers shall negotiate in good
faith to amend such ratio or requirement to preserve the original intent thereof
in light of such change in GAAP (subject to the approval of the Required
Lenders); provided that, until so amended, such ratio or requirement shall
continue to be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein.

(c) The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that if any Consolidated Borrower
Party makes an acquisition or Disposition of assets during a period or is
required to include the financial information of the Person to be acquired into
pro forma covenant compliance calculations prior to consummating such
acquisition, all calculations of the financial covenants, including
“Consolidated Tenant EBITDAR” and “Rental Revenue,” shall be determined on a pro
forma basis as if such acquisition or Disposition (and any related incurrence or
repayment of Indebtedness) had occurred on the first day of such period, the
operating results of any acquired Person for any affected fiscal periods shall
be determined by reference to financial information prepared by the prior owners
thereof (or by such Consolidated Borrower Party, after any such acquisition),
the Consolidated Tenant EBITDAR and Rental Revenue, as applicable, for any such
acquisition shall be determined by such Consolidated Borrower Party based on the
anticipated Consolidated Tenant EBITDAR and Rental Revenue, as applicable,
expected to be generated by such Borrowing Base Asset and, in the case of a
Disposition of any Borrowing Base Asset or other material asset that is not
replaced substantially concurrently, the operating results of the assets subject
to such Disposition shall be excluded for any affected fiscal periods,

 

37

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

in each case, subject to adjustments reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent; provided that if pro forma rent calculations after an
acquisition are based upon increases in rent under the Lease over historic rents
under that Lease, such increases may be included in the calculation of Rental
Revenue at or following such acquisition only if the Tenant (i) has paid such
increased rent to such Consolidated Borrower Party following such acquisition or
(ii) in the event of a required pro forma calculation, the date for payment of
such increased rent has not yet occurred.

1.04. Rounding.

Any financial ratios required to be maintained by the Credit Parties pursuant to
this Credit Agreement shall be calculated by dividing the appropriate component
by the other component, carrying the result to one place more than the number of
places by which such ratio is expressed herein and rounding the result up or
down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no nearest number).

1.05. References to Agreements and Laws.

Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, (a) references to Organization
Documents, agreements (including the Credit Documents) and other contractual
instruments shall be deemed to include all subsequent amendments, restatements,
extensions, supplements and other modifications thereto, but only to the extent
that such amendments, restatements, extensions, supplements and other
modifications are not prohibited by any Credit Document; and (b) references to
any Law shall include all statutory and regulatory provisions consolidating,
amending, replacing, supplementing or interpreting such Law.

1.06. Times of Day.

Unless otherwise provided, all references herein to times of day shall be
references to Central time (daylight or standard, as applicable).

2.01. Commitments.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein:

(a) Revolving Loans. During the Commitment Period, each Lender severally agrees
to make revolving credit loans (the “Revolving Loans”) to the Parent Borrower on
any Business Day; provided that after giving effect to any such Revolving Loan,
(i) with regard to the Lenders collectively, the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of Revolving Loans shall not exceed the lesser of (x) ONE HUNDRED
EIGHTY-SEVEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($187,500,000) (as such
amount may be increased or decreased in accordance with the provisions hereof,
the “Aggregate Committed Amount”) and (y) the Borrowing Base Amount for such
date and (ii) with regard to each Lender individually, such Lender’s Revolving
Commitment Percentage of Revolving Loans shall not exceed its respective
Revolving Committed Amount. Subject to Sections 3.02 and 3.03, Revolving Loans
may consist of LIBOR Loans, as provided herein, and may be repaid and reborrowed
in accordance with the provisions hereof.

 

38

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

(b) Increase in Revolving Commitments. Subject to the terms and conditions set
forth herein, the Parent Borrower may, at any time prior to the then applicable
Maturity Date, upon written notice to the Administrative Agent, cause an
increase in the Aggregate Committed Amount by up to an aggregate amount not more
than EIGHTY-SEVEN MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ($87,500,000); provided,
that such increase shall be conditioned and effective upon the satisfaction of
the following conditions:

(i) the Borrowers shall obtain (whether through the Arranger or otherwise)
commitments for the amount of the increase by first offer to the existing
Lenders or if the aggregate commitment increase participated in by the existing
Lenders is less than the requested commitment increase, from other commercial
banks or financial institutions reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent, which other commercial banks and financial institutions shall join in
this Credit Agreement as Lenders by a Lender Joinder Agreement substantially in
the form of Exhibit F attached hereto or other arrangement reasonably acceptable
to the Administrative Agent (it being understood that the decision of any
existing Lender to participate in such commitment increase shall be at such
Lender’s sole discretion, shall be made in writing and no Lender shall have an
obligation to participate in any such commitment increase.);

(ii) any such increase shall be in a minimum aggregate principal amount of
$25,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (or the
remaining amount, if less);

(iii) if any Revolving Loans are outstanding at the time of any such increase,
the Borrowers shall make such payments and adjustments on the Revolving Loans
(including payment of any break-funding amounts owing under Section 3.05) as may
be necessary to give effect to the revised commitment percentages and commitment
amounts;

(iv) the Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Arranger all
fees required under any fee letter due in connection with the syndication of the
increase in the Revolving Committed Amount;

(v) the Borrowers shall have executed any new or amended and restated Notes (to
the extent requested by the Lenders) to reflect the revised commitment amounts;
and

(vi) the conditions to the making of a Revolving Loan set forth in Section 4.02
shall be satisfied.

In connection with any such increase in the Revolving Commitments, Schedule 2.01
shall be revised to reflect the modified commitments and commitment percentages
of the Lenders, and the Borrowers shall provide supporting corporate
resolutions, legal opinions, promissory notes and other items as may be
reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection
therewith. The Parent Borrower shall not be permitted to cause more than two
(2) increases in the Aggregate Committed Amount following the Closing Date.

 

39

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

2.02. Borrowings and Continuations.

(a) Each Borrowing, and each continuation of LIBOR Loans shall be made upon the
Parent Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be
given by telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative
Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. three (3) Business Days prior to the requested
date of any Borrowings or continuations. Each telephonic notice pursuant to this
Section 2.02(a) must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative
Agent of a written Loan Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a
Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower or the REIT Guarantor. Except as
provided in Sections 2.03(c) and 2.04(c), each Borrowing or continuation shall
be in a principal amount of, with respect to LIBOR Loans, $1,000,000 or a whole
multiple of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each Loan Notice (whether telephonic or
written) shall specify (i) the requested date of such Borrowing (which shall be
a Business Day) and (ii) the principal amount of Loans to be borrowed or
continued.

(b) Following receipt of a Loan Notice, the Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender of the amount of its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the
applicable Loans. Each Lender shall make the amount of its Loan available to the
Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative
Agent’s Office not later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the
applicable Loan Notice. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth
in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing is the initial Extension of Credit,
Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received
available to the party referenced in the applicable Loan Notice in like funds as
received by the Administrative Agent either by (i) crediting the account of the
applicable party on the books of the Administrative Agent with the amount of
such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with
instructions provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent
by the Parent Borrower.

(c) Unless otherwise specified to the contrary in this Agreement, each LIBOR
Loan shall be reset and continued as a LIBOR Loan on each LIBOR Reset Date
between the Funding Date and the Maturity Date in accordance with the terms
hereof. Any automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans required in accordance with
Sections 3.02 or 3.03 hereof, shall be effective as of the last day of the
Interest Period then in effect with respect to any outstanding LIBOR Loans.

(d) During the existence of a Default or Event of Default, (i) no Loan may be
requested as, converted to or continued as a LIBOR Loan if the Required Lenders
shall have prohibited the same in writing to the Administrative Agent and
(ii) at the request of the Required Lenders, any outstanding LIBOR Loan shall be
converted immediately to a Base Rate Loan.

(e) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the
Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for LIBOR Loans
upon determination of such interest rate. The determination of the LIBOR Rate by
the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.
At any time that Base Rate Loans are outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall
notify the Parent Borrower and the Lenders of any change in Base Rate Bank’s
prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public
announcement of such change.

 

40

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

2.03. Repayment of Loans.

(a) Revolving Loans. The Borrowers shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity
Date the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans outstanding on such date.

(b) Maturity. On the Maturity Date, the Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders all
outstanding principal, accrued and unpaid interest, default interest, late
charges and any and all other Obligations due under the Credit Documents.

2.04. Prepayments.

(a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Loans may be repaid in whole or in part without
premium or penalty (except in the case of Loans other than Base Rate Loans,
amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.05); provided that (i) notice thereof must
be received by 11:00 a.m. by the Administrative Agent (A) at least three (3)
Business Days prior to the date of prepayment of LIBOR Loans, and (B) on the
Business Day prior to the date of prepayment of Base Rate Loans, (ii) any such
prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, or, the entire principal amount
thereof, if less and (iii) there shall be no more than one voluntary prepayment
per calendar month. Each such notice of voluntary repayment hereunder shall
specify the date and amount of prepayment and the Loans and Types of Loans which
are to be prepaid. The Administrative Agent will give prompt notice to the
applicable Lenders of any prepayment on the Loans and the Lender’s interest
therein. Prepayments of LIBOR Loans hereunder shall be accompanied by accrued
interest thereon and breakage amounts, if any, under Section 3.05.

(b) Mandatory Prepayments. If at any time the aggregate principal amount of
Revolving Loans shall exceed the lesser of (i) the Aggregate Committed Amount
and (ii) the Borrowing Base Amount for such date, immediate prepayment will be
made on the Revolving Loans in an amount equal to such excess.

(c) Application.

(i) Voluntary Prepayments. Voluntary prepayments shall be applied as specified
by the Borrowers. Voluntary prepayments on the Revolving Loans will be paid by
the Administrative Agent to the Lenders ratably in accordance with their
respective interests therein.

(ii) Mandatory Prepayments. Mandatory prepayments on the Revolving Loans will be
paid by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders ratably in accordance with their
respective interests therein.

2.05. Termination or Reduction of Commitments.

The Commitments hereunder may be permanently reduced in whole or in part without
premium or penalty, except as set forth below, by notice from the Parent
Borrower to the Administrative Agent; provided that (i) any such notice thereof
must be received by 11:00 a.m. at least five (5) Business Days prior to the date
of reduction or termination and any such prepayment, if any is required in
connection therewith, shall be in a minimum principal amount

 

41

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

of (x) in the case of partial prepayments, $5,000,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof or (y) in the case of a payment in full, the
Obligations, (ii) for any partial permanent reduction in the Commitments that
occurs prior to the first anniversary of the Closing Date, any such reduction
shall be accompanied by the payment of a commitment reduction premium in the
amount of one-half of one percent (0.50%) of the amount of such Commitment
reduction (provided that no fee, premium or penalty shall be due upon the
termination of the Commitments in full at any time after the Closing Date), and
(iii) the Commitments may not be reduced to an amount less than the Revolving
Loans then outstanding. The Administrative Agent will give prompt notice to the
Lenders of any such reduction in Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate
Commitments shall be applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its
Revolving Commitment Percentage thereof. All commitment or other fees accrued
until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall
be paid on the effective date of such termination.

2.06. Interest.

(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each LIBOR Loan shall
bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest
Period at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period plus
the Applicable Percentage and (ii) each Loan that is a Base Rate Loan shall bear
interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable
borrowing date at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable
Percentage.

(b) If any amount payable by the Borrowers under any Credit Document is not paid
when due (after taking into account any applicable grace periods), whether at
stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, such amount shall thereafter bear
interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the
Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law. Furthermore,
upon the written request of the Required Lenders, from and after receipt by the
Borrowers of such written request and while any Event of Default exists, the
Borrowers shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding
Obligations hereunder at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times
equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law.
Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due
interest) shall be due and payable upon demand.

(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest
Payment Date applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified
herein. Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms
hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any
proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.

(d) No Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan unless required by the terms of Sections
3.02 or 3.03.

2.07. Fees.

(a) Unused Fee. From and after the Funding Date, the Borrowers agree to pay the
Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders an unused fee (the
“Unused Fee”) for

 

42

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

each calendar month (or portion thereof) in an amount equal to the sum of the
Daily Unused Fees incurred during such period. The Unused Fee shall accrue at
all times during the Commitment Period, including periods during which the
conditions to Extensions of Credit in Section 4.02 may not be met, and shall be
payable monthly in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month
(commencing with the first such date to occur after the Funding Date) and on the
Maturity Date; provided, that (i) no Unused Fee shall accrue on the Commitment
of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender and
(ii) any Unused Fee accrued with respect to the Commitment of a Defaulting
Lender during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting
Lender and unpaid at such time shall not be payable by the Borrowers so long as
such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. The Administrative Agent shall
distribute the Unused Fee to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the
respective Revolving Commitments of the Lenders. The Unused Fee shall be fully
earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(b) Facility Commitment Fee. On the Funding Date, the Borrowers shall pay to
Administrative Agent (for the ratable benefit of the Lenders) a commitment fee
equal to one percent (1%) of the Aggregate Commitments. Such fees shall be fully
earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any reason whatsoever.

(c) Administrative Agent’s Fees. The Borrowers agree to pay the Administrative
Agent such fees as provided in the Administrative Agent’s Fee Letter or as may
be otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers from time to
time.

(d) Other Fees.

(i) The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent for its own account fees
in the amounts and at the times specified in the Administrative Agent’s Fee
Letter. Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable
for any reason whatsoever.

(ii) The Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders such fees as shall have been
separately agreed upon in writing in the amounts and at the times so specified.
Such fees shall be fully earned when paid and shall not be refundable for any
reason whatsoever.

2.08. Computation of Interest and Fees.

All computations of interest for Base Rate Loans shall be made on the basis of a
year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be, and actual days elapsed. All other
computations of fees and interest shall be made on the basis of a 360-day year
and actual days elapsed (which results in more fees or interest, as applicable,
being paid than if computed on the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall
accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue
on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion
is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is
made shall, subject to Section 2.09(a), bear interest for one day. Each
determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder
shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

 

43

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

2.09. Payments Generally.

(a) All payments to be made by the Borrowers shall be made without condition or
deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, all payments by the Borrowers hereunder
shall be made to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders to
which such payment is owed, at the Administrative Agent’s Office in Dollars and
in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date specified
herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its
Revolving Commitment Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein)
of such payment in like funds as received by wire transfer to such Lender’s
Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative Agent after
2:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the immediately succeeding Business Day
and any applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue.

(b) Subject to the definition of “Interest Period,” if any payment to be made by
the Borrowers shall come due on a day other than a Business Day, payment shall
be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be
reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.

(c) Unless the Borrowers or any Lender has notified the Administrative Agent,
prior to the time any payment is required to be made by it to the Administrative
Agent hereunder, that the Borrowers or such Lender, as the case may be, will not
make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrowers or
such Lender, as the case may be, has timely made such payment and may (but shall
not be so required to), in reliance thereon, make available a corresponding
amount to the Person entitled thereto. If and to the extent that such payment
was not in fact made to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds,
then:

(i) if the Borrowers fail to make such payment, each Lender shall forthwith on
demand repay to the Administrative Agent the portion of such assumed payment
that was made available to such Lender in immediately available funds, together
with interest thereon in respect of each day from and including the date such
amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date
such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds
at the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect; and

(ii) if any Lender failed to make such payment, such Lender shall forthwith on
demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount thereof in immediately
available funds, together with interest thereon for the period from the date
such amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers to
the date such amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent (the “Compensation
Period”) at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time
in effect. If such Lender pays such amount to the Administrative Agent, then
such amount shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in the applicable
Borrowing. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon the
Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the Administrative Agent may make a
demand therefor upon the Borrower, and the Borrowers shall pay such amount to
the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon for the Compensation
Period at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest applicable to the
applicable Borrowing. Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Lender from
its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any rights that the
Administrative Agent or the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of
any default by such Lender hereunder.

 

44

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

A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrowers with respect
to any amount owing under this subsection (c) shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error.

(d) If any Lender makes available to the Administrative Agent funds for any Loan
to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing provisions of this
Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrowers by the
Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Extension of
Credit set forth in Section 4.02 are not satisfied or waived in accordance with
the terms hereof or for any other reason, the Administrative Agent shall return
such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such Lender within
one (1) Business Day, without interest.

(e) The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make Loans and to make payments
pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any
Lender to make any Loan or to make any payment under Section 10.04(c) on any
date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding
obligation to do so on such date, nor relieve Borrowers from any obligations
hereunder to the Lenders which fulfill such obligations, and no Lender shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Lender to so make its Loan or to make
its payment under Section 10.04(c).

(f) Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain the funds
for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation
by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any
particular place or manner.

(g) If at any time insufficient funds are received by or are available to the
Administrative Agent to pay fully all amounts of principal, interest and fees
then due hereunder, such funds shall be applied (i) first, toward costs and
expenses (including Attorney Costs and amounts payable under Article III)
incurred by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, (ii) second, toward
repayment of interest and fees then due hereunder, ratably among the parties
entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of interest and fees then due to
such parties, and (iii) third, toward repayment of principal then due hereunder,
ratably among the parties entitled thereto in accordance with the amounts of
principal then due to such parties.

2.10. Sharing of Payments.

If any Lender shall obtain on account of the Loans made by it, any payment
(whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off,
or otherwise, but excluding any payments made to a Lender in error by the
Administrative Agent (which such payments shall be returned by the Lender to the
Administrative Agent immediately upon such Lender’s obtaining knowledge that
such payment was made in error)) in excess of its ratable share (or other share
contemplated hereunder) thereof, such Lender shall immediately (a) notify the
Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase from the other Lenders such
participations in the Loans made by them as shall be necessary to cause such
purchasing Lender to share the excess payment in respect of such Loans or such
participations, as the case may be, pro rata with

 

45

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

each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess
payment is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender under any of the
circumstances described in Section 10.06 (including pursuant to any settlement
entered into by the purchasing Lender in its discretion), such purchase shall to
that extent be rescinded and each other Lender shall repay to the purchasing
Lender the purchase price paid therefor, together with an amount equal to such
paying Lender’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (A) the amount of
such paying Lender’s required repayment to (B) the total amount so recovered
from the purchasing Lender) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by
the purchasing Lender in respect of the total amount so recovered, without
further interest thereon. The Borrowers agree that any Lender so purchasing a
participation from another Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off, but subject
to Section 10.08) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender
were the direct creditor of the Borrowers in the amount of such participation.
The Administrative Agent will keep records (which shall be conclusive and
binding in the absence of manifest error) of participations purchased under this
Section and will in each case notify the Lenders following any such purchases or
repayments. Each Lender that purchases a participation pursuant to this
Section shall from and after such purchase have the right to give all notices,
requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Credit
Agreement with respect to the portion of the Revolving Loans purchased to the
same extent as though the purchasing Lender were the original owner of the
Revolving Loans purchased.

2.11. Evidence of Debt.

The Extensions of Credit made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more
accounts or records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in
the ordinary course of business. The accounts or records maintained by the
Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be conclusive absent manifest error
of the amount of the Extension of Credits made by the Lenders to the Borrowers
and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in
doing so shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the
Borrowers hereunder to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In
the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by any
Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in respect of
such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control
in the absence of manifest error. The Borrowers shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent a Note for each Lender requesting a Note, which Note shall
evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each
Lender may attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if
applicable), amount and maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.

2.12. Joint and Several Liability of the Borrowers.

(a) Each of the Borrowers is accepting joint and several liability hereunder in
consideration of the financial accommodation to be provided by the Lenders under
this Credit Agreement, for the mutual benefit, directly and indirectly, of each
of the Borrowers and in consideration of the undertakings of each of the
Borrowers to accept joint and several liability for the obligations of each of
them.

 

46

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

(b) Each of the Borrowers jointly and severally hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co debtor, joint
and several liability with the other Borrowers with respect to the payment and
performance of all of the Obligations arising under this Credit Agreement and
the other Credit Documents, it being the intention of the parties hereto that
all the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the
Borrowers without preferences or distinction among them.

(c) If and to the extent that any of the Borrowers shall fail to make any
payment with respect to any of the Obligations hereunder as and when due or to
perform any of such Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in
each such event, the other Borrowers will make such payment with respect to, or
perform, such Obligation.

(d) The obligations of each Borrower under the provisions of this Section 2.12
constitute full recourse obligations of such Borrower, enforceable against it to
the full extent of its properties and assets, irrespective of the validity,
regularity or enforceability of this Credit Agreement or any other circumstances
whatsoever.

(e) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, each Borrower hereby waives
notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of occurrence of
any Default or Event of Default (except to the extent notice is expressly
required to be given pursuant to the terms of this Credit Agreement), or of any
demand for any payment under this Credit Agreement (except to the extent demand
is expressly required to be given pursuant to the terms of this Agreement),
notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender under or in respect of any of the Obligations hereunder except as
expressly provided herein, any requirement of diligence and, generally, all
demands, notices and other formalities of every kind in connection with this
Credit Agreement except as expressly provided herein. Each Borrower hereby
assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for
the payment of any of the Obligations hereunder, the acceptance of any partial
payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders at any time or times in respect of any
default by any Borrower in the performance or satisfaction of any term,
covenant, condition or provision of this Credit Agreement, any and all other
indulgences whatsoever by the Lenders in respect of any of the Obligations
hereunder, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in
part, at any time or times, of any security for any of such Obligations or the
addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of any Borrower. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Borrower assents to any other
action or delay in acting or any failure to act on the part of the Lender,
including, without limitation, any failure strictly or diligently to assert any
right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with applicable Laws thereunder
which might, but for the provisions of this Section 2.12, afford grounds for
terminating, discharging or relieving such Borrower, in whole or in part, from
any of its obligations under this Section 2.12, it being the intention of each
Borrower that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain unsatisfied,
the obligations of such Borrower under this Section 2.12 shall not be discharged
except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance. The
obligations of each Borrower under this Section 2.12 shall not be diminished or
rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement,
liquidation, reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any
reconstruction or similar proceeding with respect to any Borrower or any Lender.
The joint and several liability of the Borrowers hereunder shall continue in
full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or
any other change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of
formation of any Borrower or any Lender.

 

47

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

(f) The provisions of this Section 2.12 are made for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective successors and assigns,
and may be enforced by any such Person from time to time against any of the
Borrowers as often as occasion therefor may arise and without requirement on the
part of any Lender first to marshal any of its claims or to exercise any of its
rights against any of the other Borrowers or to exhaust any remedies available
to it against any of the other Borrowers or to resort to any other source or
means of obtaining payment of any of the Obligations or to elect any other
remedy. The provisions of this Section 2.12 shall remain in effect until all the
Obligations hereunder shall have been paid in full or otherwise fully satisfied.
If at any time, any payment, or any part thereof, made in respect of any of the
Obligations, is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the
Lenders upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any of the
Borrowers, or otherwise, the provisions of this Section 2.12 will forthwith be
reinstated and in effect as though such payment had not been made.

(g) Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any
other of the Credit Documents, the obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall
be limited to an aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not
render its obligations hereunder subject to avoidance under Section 548 of the
Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provisions of any applicable state law.

2.13. Appointment of Parent Borrower as Legal Representative for Credit Parties.

Each of the Credit Parties hereby appoints the Parent Borrower to act as its
exclusive legal representative for all purposes under this Credit Agreement and
the other Credit Documents (including, without limitation, with respect to all
matters related to Borrowings and the repayment of Loans as described in
Article II and Article III hereof). Each of the Credit Parties acknowledges and
agrees that (a) the Parent Borrower may execute such documents on behalf of all
the Credit Parties as the Parent Borrower deems appropriate in its reasonable
discretion and each Credit Party shall be bound by and obligated by all of the
terms of any such document executed by the Parent Borrower on its behalf,
(b) any notice or other communication delivered by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender hereunder to the Parent Borrower shall be deemed to have been
delivered to each of the Credit Parties and (c) the Administrative Agent and
each of the Lenders shall accept (and shall be permitted to rely on) any
document or agreement executed by the Parent Borrower on behalf of the Credit
Parties (or any of them). The Borrowers must act through the Parent Borrower for
all purposes under this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent any
provision in this Credit Agreement requires any Credit Party to interact in any
manner with the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, such Credit Party shall do
so through the Parent Borrower.

2.14. Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as
that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by
applicable Law:

 

48

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

(i) Waivers and Amendments. That 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 Section 10.01.

(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other
amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting
Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or
otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent
by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 10.08), shall be applied at such
time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:
first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the
Administrative Agent hereunder; second, as the Borrower may request (so long as
no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of
which that Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required
by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; third, if so
determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers, to be held in a
non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy
obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund 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
that Defaulting Lender as a result of that 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 the Borrowers as a result
of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers
against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of
its obligations under this Agreement; and sixth, to that Defaulting Lender or as
otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if
(x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans in respect of
which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and
(y) such Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 4.02
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 that Defaulting Lender. 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 shall be deemed paid to and
redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents
hereto.

(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive its
portion of the Unused Fee for any period during which that Lender is a
Defaulting Lender (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee
that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting
Lender).

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. Upon cure by a Defaulting Lender of the
circumstances by which it became a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent
will 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 that portion of outstanding Loans of
the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may
determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by
the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Commitment Percentages, whereupon
that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments
will be made retroactively with respect to fees

 

49

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

accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrowers 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.

2.15. Extension of Maturity Date.

(a) Request for Extension. The Parent Borrower may, by notice in the form of a
Request for Extension attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “Request for Extension”)
to the Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders) not earlier
than 270 days and not later than 60 days prior to the Maturity Date, make a one
time request that each Lender extend such Lender’s Maturity Date for an
additional year from the Maturity Date currently in effect (the “Existing
Maturity Date”), such extension to be irrevocably granted on the date that each
of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.15 have been satisfied (the
“Extension Effective Date”). Upon receipt of the Request for Extension,
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of such request and use
good faith efforts to order, review and approve the appraisals required pursuant
to clause (b)(iii) below on or prior to the date that is 60 days after the date
Administrative Agent receives the Request for Extension. Upon the satisfaction
of each of the conditions set forth in this Section 2.15, the Extension
Effective Date shall occur and the extension of the Maturity Date for an
additional year from the Maturity Date currently in effect shall be effective.

(b) Conditions to Effectiveness of Extension. Subject to the provisions of the
foregoing clause (a), the extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to this
Section shall not be effective with respect to any Lender unless:

(i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the
Extension Effective Date;

(ii) the representations and warranties contained in Article V and the other
Credit Documents shall (A) with respect to representations and warranties that
contain a materiality qualification, be true and correct and (B) with respect to
representations and warranties that do not contain a materiality qualification,
be true and correct in all material respects, in each case on and as of the
Extension Effective Date as if made on and as of such date except for any
representation or warranty made as of an earlier date, which representation and
warranty shall remain true and correct as of such earlier date, and except that
for purposes of this Section 2.15, the representations and warranties contained
in Section 5.01 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished
pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) of Section 6.01;

(iii) the Administrative Agent shall have received (for distribution to the
Lenders) and reviewed new appraisals for the Borrowing Base Assets, completed at
the Borrowers’ expense and by an appraiser selected by the Administrative Agent
and reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers (it being understood and agreed that,
in the event the Outstanding Amount exceeds the Aggregate Collateral Value
Amount as determined by such new appraisals, the Borrowers shall prepay the
Loans in an amount equal to or greater than such excess in accordance with
Section 2.04(b));

 

50

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

(iv) the Borrowers shall pay to the Lenders on the Extension Effective Date a
fee (to be shared among the Lenders based upon their pro rata share of the
Aggregate Commitments) equal to the product of (i) 0.25% multiplied by (ii) the
then Aggregate Commitments;

(v) if not previously authorized by resolutions satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent, the Borrowers shall have delivered to the Administrative
Agent true, correct and complete copies of duly adopted resolutions of each
Borrower authorizing each respective Borrower to extend the Maturity Date;

(vi) the Administrative Agent shall have received a pro forma Borrowing Base
Certificate calculated as of the Extension Effective Date; and

(vii) the Borrowers shall have paid Administrative Agent’s reasonable costs and
expenses in connection with the requested extension of the Maturity Date.

(c) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in
Section 10.01 to the contrary.

ARTICLE III

TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY

3.01. Taxes.

(a) Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of the Credit Parties hereunder or under any other Credit Document
shall be made free and clear of and without reduction or withholding for any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes, provided that if any Credit Party shall be
required by applicable Law to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from
such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that
after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent or any
Lender, as the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have
received had no such deductions been made, (ii) such Credit Party shall make
such deductions and (iii) such Credit Party shall timely pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable
Law.

(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties. Without limiting the
provisions of subsection (a) above, the Credit Parties shall timely pay any
Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable
Law.

(c) Indemnification by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall indemnify
the Administrative Agent and each Lender, within 10 days after demand therefor,
for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to
amounts payable under this Section) paid by the Administrative Agent or such
Lender, as the case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses

 

51

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

arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes
or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant
Governmental Authority (except for any interest, penalties, or expenses caused
by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or a
Lender, as the case may be). A reasonably detailed certificate as to the amount
of such payment or liability delivered to any Borrower by a Lender (with a copy
to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf
or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d) Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by any Credit Party to a Governmental
Authority, the Parent Borrower shall deliver to the 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 the Administrative Agent.

(e) Status of Lenders.

(i) Each Lender shall deliver to the Parent Borrower and to the Administrative
Agent, at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably
requested by the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly
completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the
taxing authorities of any jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested
information as will permit the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as
the case may be, to determine (A) whether or not payments made hereunder or
under any other Credit Document are subject to Taxes, (B) if applicable, the
required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C) such Lender’s entitlement to
any available exemption from, or reduction of, applicable Taxes in respect of
all payments to be made to such Lender by the Borrowers pursuant to this
Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status for withholding tax
purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.

(ii) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if such Borrower is
resident for tax purposes in the United States,

(A) any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code shall deliver to the Parent
Borrower and the Administrative Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue
Service Form W-9 or such other documentation or information prescribed by
applicable Laws or reasonably requested by the Parent Borrower or the
Administrative Agent as will enable the Parent Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, as the case may be, to determine that such Lender is not subject to
backup withholding or information reporting requirements; and

(B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Internal Revenue Code or any
applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with
respect to payments hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall deliver
to the Parent Borrower and the 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 request of the Parent Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
but only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the
following is applicable:

 

52

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

(I) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN claiming
eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a
party,

(II) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,

(III) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY and all
required supporting documentation,

(IV) 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 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not (A) a “bank” within
the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, (B) a “10
percent shareholder” of any Borrower within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(B)
of the Internal Revenue Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign corporation”
described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code and (y) duly
completed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or

(V) executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable Laws as a
basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in United States Federal
withholding tax duly completed together with such supplementary documentation as
may be prescribed by applicable Law to permit such Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be
made.

(C) each Lender shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the Parent
Borrower such documentation reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent or
the Parent Borrower sufficient for the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers to
comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine whether payments to
such Lender are subject to withholding tax under FATCA.

(iii) Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Parent Borrower and the
Administrative Agent of any change in circumstances which would modify or render
invalid any claimed exemption or reduction, and (B) take such steps as shall not
be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender,
and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its Lending
Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that a
Borrower or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes
from amounts payable to such Lender.

 

53

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

(f) Treatment of Tax Refunds and Credits. Unless required by applicable Laws, at
no time shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file or otherwise
pursue on behalf of a Lender, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender, any
refund of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such
Lender. If the Administrative Agent or any Lender determines, in its sole
discretion, that it has received a refund of any Indemnified Taxes or Other
Taxes as to which it has been indemnified by the Credit Parties or with respect
to which the Credit Parties have paid additional amounts pursuant to this
Section, it shall pay to the applicable Credit Parties an amount equal to such
refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts
paid, by the Credit Parties under this Section with respect to the Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender as
the case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the
relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the
applicable Credit Parties, upon the request of the Administrative Agent or such
Lender, agrees to repay the amount paid over to it (plus any penalties, interest
or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) to the
Administrative Agent or such Lender in the event the Administrative Agent or
such Lender is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.
This Section 3.01(f) shall not be construed to require the Administrative Agent
or any Lender to make available its tax returns (or any other information
relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Credit Parties or any
other Person.

3.02. Illegality.

If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its
applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund LIBOR Loans, or to determine
or charge interest rates based upon the LIBOR Rate, then, on notice thereof by
such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of
such Lender to make or continue LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Lender
notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances
giving rise to such determination no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice,
the Borrowers shall, upon demand from such Lender (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all LIBOR Loans of such
Lender to Base Rate Loans, either on the last day of the Interest Period then in
effect with respect to LIBOR Loans, if such Lender may lawfully continue to
maintain such LIBOR Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not
lawfully continue to maintain such LIBOR Loans. Upon any such prepayment or
conversion, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so
prepaid or converted. Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office
if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the
good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to
such Lender.

3.03. Inability to Determine Rates.

If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for determining the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period with
respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan, or that the LIBOR Rate for any Interest Period
with respect to a proposed LIBOR Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the
cost to such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will
promptly so notify the Parent Borrower and each Lender. Thereafter, the
obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain LIBOR Loans shall be suspended
until the Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders)
revokes such notice. Upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any
pending request for a Borrowing or continuation of LIBOR Loans or, failing that,
will be deemed to have converted such request into a request for a Borrowing of
Base Rate Loans in the amount specified therein.

 

54

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

3.04. Increased Cost and Reduced Return; Capital Adequacy; Reserves on LIBOR
Loans.

(a) If any Lender determines that as a result of the introduction after the date
hereof of, or any change in or in the interpretation, after the date hereof, of
any Law, or such Lender’s compliance therewith, there shall be any increase in
the cost to such Lender of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining
LIBOR Loans, or a reduction in the amount received or receivable by such Lender
in connection with any of the foregoing (excluding for purposes of this
subsection (a) any such increased costs or reduction in amount resulting from
(i) any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (as to which Section 3.01 shall govern)
(ii) the imposition of or change in the rate of any Excluded Tax, (iii) changes
in the basis of taxation of overall net income or overall gross income by the
United States or any foreign jurisdiction or any political subdivision of either
thereof under the Laws of which such Lender is organized or has its Lending
Office, and (iv) reserve requirements contemplated by Section 3.04(c)), then
from time to time upon demand of such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the
Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional
amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction.

(b) If any Lender determines that the introduction after the date hereof of any
Law regarding capital adequacy or any change therein made after the date hereof
or in the interpretation thereof made after the date hereof, or compliance by
such Lender (or its Lending Office) therewith, has the effect of reducing the
rate of return on the capital of such Lender or any corporation controlling such
Lender as a consequence of such Lender’s obligations hereunder (taking into
consideration its policies with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s
desired return on capital), then from time to time upon demand of such Lender
(with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrowers shall
pay to such Lender such additional amounts as will compensate such Lender for
such reduction. The Borrowers shall not be required to pay such additional
amounts unless such amounts are the result of requirements imposed generally on
lenders similar to such Lenders and not the result of some specific reserve or
similar requirement imposed on such Lender as a result of such Lender’s special
circumstances.

(c) The Borrowers shall pay to each Lender, as long as such Lender shall be
required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting
of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency
liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR
Loan equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such
Lender (as determined by such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be
conclusive), which shall be due and payable on each date on which interest is
payable on such Loan, provided the Borrowers shall have received at least
fifteen (15) days’ prior written notice (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) of such additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give
notice fifteen (15) days prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, such
additional interest shall be due and payable fifteen (15) days from receipt of
such notice.

 

55

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

(d) Each Lender agrees to make reasonable efforts to designate a different
Lending Office if such designation will avoid or reduce the amounts payable
under this Section 3.04 and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender,
otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.

3.05. Funding Losses.

Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to
time, the Borrowers shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such
Lender harmless from any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:

(a) if this Credit Agreement is amended to provide the Borrowers with the option
of selecting a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period in addition to a three month
period, any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other
than a Base Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period
then in effect with respect to LIBOR Loans (whether voluntary, mandatory,
automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);

(b) any failure by the Borrowers (for a reason other than the failure of such
Lender to make a Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other
than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in the amount notified by the Borrowers; or

(c) any assignment of a LIBOR Loan on a day other than the last day of the
Interest Period then in effect with respect to LIBOR Loans as a result of a
request by the Borrowers pursuant to Section 10.13;

including any loss, cost or expense (other than loss of anticipated profits)
arising from the liquidation or reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain
such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the deposits from which such funds
were obtained. The Borrowers shall also pay any customary administrative fees
charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.

For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrowers to the Lenders
under this Section 3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each LIBOR
Loan made by it at the LIBOR Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other
borrowing in the London interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and
for a comparable period, whether or not such LIBOR Loan was in fact so funded.

3.06. Matters Applicable to all Requests for Compensation.

(a) A certificate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender claiming
compensation under this Article III and setting forth the additional amount or
amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Borrowers shall only be
obligated to compensate the Administrative Agent or such Lender for any amount
under this Article III (i) to the extent such amount or amounts result from or
is with respect to any period within 120 days prior to the date on which the
Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender makes a claim hereunder if the
Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender prior to such date knew or could
reasonably have been expected to know of the circumstances giving rise to the
claim hereunder or the fact that such circumstances would result in the claim
hereunder and (ii) if the Administrative Agent or the applicable Lender is
making similar claims to other similarly situated borrowers. In determining such
amount, the Administrative Agent or such Lender may use any reasonable averaging
and attribution methods.

 

56

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

(b) Upon any Lender’s making a claim for compensation under Section 3.01, 3.02
or 3.04, the Borrowers may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.

(c) Each Lender shall promptly notify the Parent Borrower and the Administrative
Agent of any event of which it has knowledge which will result in an obligation
of the Borrowers to pay any amounts pursuant to Article III, and will use
reasonable commercial efforts available to it (and not, in such Lender’s
reasonable judgment, otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender) to mitigate or
avoid any such obligations by the Borrowers.

3.07. Survival.

All of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Article III shall survive
termination of the Aggregate Commitments and repayment of all other Obligations
hereunder.

ARTICLE IV

Adverse Effect. The Administrative Agent shall be named as loss payee or
mortgagee, as its interest may appear, and/or additional insured with respect to
any insurance procured with respect to the Borrowing Base Assets and each

requiring any such Person to take any action in connection with the release of
any Hazardous Substance or (iii) receive any notice from a Governmental
Authority or private party alleging that any such Person may be liable or
responsible for costs associated with a response to or cleanup of a release of a
Hazardous Substance or any damages caused thereby, the Credit Parties shall
provide the Administrative Agent with a copy of such notice within ten (10) days
after the receipt thereof by such Credit Party. To the extent requested by the
Administrative Agent, any Borrower owning any Borrowing Base Asset or any Real
Property Asset which is proposed for qualification as such shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent an environmental indemnity agreement with
respect to thereto in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

(d) At the request of the Administrative Agent from time to time, in the event
the Administrative Agent has a reasonable basis to believe that Hazardous
Substances in a quantity or condition that violates Environmental Laws are
present on any Borrowing Base Assets or to the extent a Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, provide to the Lenders within 60 days
after such request, at the expense of the Borrowers, an environmental site
assessment report for any Borrowing Base Asset described in such request,
prepared by an environmental consulting firm acceptable to the Administrative
Agent, indicating the presence or absence of Hazardous Substance and the
estimated cost of any compliance or required removal or remedial action in
connection with any Hazardous Substance on such Borrowing Base Asset to cause
such property to be in compliance with Environmental Laws; without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, if the Administrative Agent determines at any time
that a material risk exists that any such report will not be provided within the
time referred to above, the Administrative Agent may retain an environmental
consulting firm to prepare such report at the expense of the Credit Parties, and
the Credit Parties hereby grant and agree to cause any Subsidiary that owns any
property described in such request to grant at the time of such request to the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders, such firm and any agents or representatives
thereof an irrevocable non-exclusive license, subject to the rights of Eligible
Tenants, to enter onto their respective properties to undertake such an
assessment.

 

79

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent a Credit Party is unable to comply
with the provisions of this Section 6.12 due to an Eligible Tenant’s act or
omission such violation shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default so
long as the Parent Borrower delivers a new Borrowing Base Certificate removing
the applicable Borrowing Base Asset within ten (10) Business Days of a
Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower or REIT Guarantor becoming aware of
such violation.

6.13. REIT Status.

If at any time the REIT Guarantor elects to be a REIT, the REIT Guarantor
(a) will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, operate its business at
all times so as to satisfy all requirements necessary to qualify and maintain
the REIT Guarantor’s qualification as a real estate investment trust under
Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code, and (b) will maintain
adequate records so as to comply with all record-keeping requirements relating
to its qualification as a real estate investment trust as required by the
Internal Revenue Code and applicable regulations of the Department of the
Treasury promulgated thereunder and will properly prepare and timely file
(taking into account any valid extensions) with the IRS all returns and reports
required thereby.

6.14. Joinder as Borrower; Joinder as Guarantor.

(a) As a condition to the inclusion of any Borrowing Base Asset in the Borrowing
Base Amount, the Credit Parties shall (i) cause the Subsidiary that owns such
Borrowing Base Asset to become a Borrower hereunder through the execution and
delivery to the Administrative Agent of a Borrower Joinder Agreement on or
before the earlier of (A) the date on which a Real Property Asset owned by such
Subsidiary is included in any calculation (pro forma or otherwise) of the
Borrowing Base Amount and (B) the deadline for the delivery of the next
Compliance Certificate pursuant to Section 6.02(a)), and (ii) cause such
Subsidiary to deliver such other documentation as the Administrative Agent may
reasonably request in connection with the foregoing, including, without
limitation, certified resolutions and other organizational and authorizing
documents of such Subsidiary, favorable opinions of counsel to such Subsidiary
(which shall cover, among other things, the legality, validity, binding effect
and enforceability of the documentation referred to above), all in form, content
and scope reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Subsidiary may become a Borrower in accordance with the terms
of this clause (a) unless (x) such Subsidiary is a Subsidiary of the Parent
Borrower and (y) and until the Lenders have received from the Borrowers any such
documentation and other information requested by the Administrative Agent or any
Lender pursuant to Section 10.19.

(b) Upon the acquisition, incorporation or other creation of any other direct or
indirect Subsidiary of the REIT Guarantor constituting a “Subsidiary Guarantor”
hereunder, the Credit Parties shall (i) cause such Subsidiary to become a
Subsidiary Guarantor hereunder through the execution and delivery to the
Administrative Agent of a Subsidiary Guarantor Joinder Agreement within thirty
(30) days of the acquisition, incorporation or creation of such Subsidiary, and
(ii) cause such Subsidiary to deliver such other documentation as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing,
including, without limitation, certified resolutions and other organizational
and authorizing documents of such Subsidiary.

 

80

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

(c) The Borrowers shall at all times subject all Borrowing Base Assets and all
of their respective personal property to first priority Liens (subject in any
case to Permitted Liens) in favor of the Administrative Agent to secure the
Obligations pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Credit Documents and
such other additional security documents as the Administrative Agent shall
reasonably request, and deliver all Borrowing Base Asset Deliverables (and any
updates to any of the information or materials delivered as a portion thereof)
and such other documentation as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request
in connection with the foregoing, all in form, content and scope reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. In furtherance of the Borrowers’
obligations under this Section 6.14, each of the Borrowers hereby agree that
they shall, from time to time, at their own expense, promptly execute, deliver,
file and/or record all further instruments and documents, and take all further
action, that may be necessary, or that the Administrative Agent may reasonably
request (including, without limitation, the procurement of landlord consents
with respect to the assignment of the applicable Borrower’s interests in any
Borrowing Base Assets), in order to (a) properly evidence the Borrowers’
Obligations hereunder or under any Credit Document or (b) perfect, continue and
protect the Liens and security interests granted or purported to be granted by
any Collateral Documents and to enable the Administrative Agent to exercise and
enforce its rights and remedies hereunder and under any other Credit Document
with respect to any Collateral. The applicable Borrower(s) shall promptly
deliver to the Administrative Agent a copy of each such instrument and evidence
of its proper filing or recording, as necessary.

6.15. Further Assurances.

Each Credit Party shall, promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent, or
any Lender through the Administrative Agent, (a) correct any material defect or
error that may be discovered in any Credit Document or in the execution,
acknowledgment, filing or recordation thereof, and (b) do, execute, acknowledge,
deliver, record, re-record, file, re-file, register and re-register any and all
such further acts, deeds, certificates, assurances and other instruments as the
Administrative Agent, or any Lender through the Administrative Agent, may
reasonably require from time to time in order to (i) carry out more effectively
the purposes of the Credit Documents, (ii) perfect and maintain the validity,
effectiveness and priority of any of the Collateral Documents and any of the
Liens intended to be created thereunder and (iii) assure, convey, grant, assign,
transfer, preserve, protect and confirm more effectively unto the Administrative
Agent the rights granted or now or hereafter intended to be granted to the
Administrative Agent under any Credit Document or under any other instrument
executed in connection with any Credit Document to which any Credit Party is or
is to be a party.

6.16. Compliance With Facility Leases.

Each Borrower shall perform and observe, in all material respects, all the terms
and provisions of each Facility Lease to be performed or observed by it,
maintain each such Facility Lease in full force and effect, use its commercially
reasonable efforts to enforce, in all material respects, each such Facility
Lease in accordance with its terms, take all such action to such end as may be
from time to time reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent and, upon
request of the Administrative Agent, make to each other party to each such
Facility Lease such demands and requests for material information and reports or
for material action as any Borrower is entitled to make under such Facility
Lease.

 

81

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

6.17. Appraisals.

The Borrowers agree that (a) new appraisals will be required in conjunction with
any extension granted pursuant to Section 2.15, (b) the Administrative Agent
shall have the right, once prior to the Maturity Date (but to the extent no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, not during the six
(6) month period immediately prior to the Maturity Date) and at the Borrowers’
expense, to request appraisals with respect to the Borrowing Base Assets,
(c) the Parent Borrower may request that the Administrative Agent initiate new
appraisals for the entire portfolio of the Borrowers’ Borrowing Base Assets at
any time subject to the terms of this Section 6.17, such appraisals to be FIRREA
compliant and otherwise subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent, and
(d) the Administrative Agent shall have the right, at its own expense, prior to
the Maturity Date, to request appraisals, and if requested by the Required
Lenders, Administrative Agent shall request appraisals, with respect to the
entire portfolio of the Borrowers’ Borrowing Base Assets or if such appraisals
are required to comply with applicable Laws, including FIRREA, any Borrowing
Base Asset; provided, however, that after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, the Borrowers shall pay or reimburse to the
Administrative Agent all reasonable and documented costs and expenses associated
therewith to the extent required by and subject to the provisions of
Section 10.04 hereof. The Administrative Agent shall engage all appraisers with
respect to such appraisals and (other than with respect to appraisals requested
by the Administrative Agent under the foregoing subclause (d) when no Event of
Default is in existence) the Borrowers shall pay or reimburse to the
Administrative Agent all documented costs and expenses associated therewith to
the extent required by and subject to the provisions of Section 10.04 hereof.
Any appraisal requested pursuant to this Section 6.17 shall be reviewed and
approved by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders; provided, that (i) the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall use reasonable efforts to approve or
disapprove such appraisal within fifteen (15) Business Days after they are
received and a failure to approve or disapprove the appraisals in such fifteen
(15) Business Day period shall be deemed to mean that such appraisals are
approved and (ii) to the extent any such appraisal is denied approval, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall specify the reasons in writing to the
Parent Borrower for such denial.

6.18. Borrowing Base Certificates; Facility Leases.

(a) A Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower or the REIT Guarantor shall
deliver an updated Borrowing Base Certificate upon (i) any amendment to any
Facility Lease to the extent permitted by Section 7.10 hereof and (ii) any
material casualty or condemnation event, in either case, to the extent that such
amendment or casualty event or condemnation event has had, or could reasonably
be expected to have, an effect (other than a de minimus effect) on the then
applicable Borrowing Base Amount or eligibility of a Real Property Asset as a
Borrowing Base Asset.

 

82

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

(b) The Borrowers shall, and shall cause each Eligible Tenant to, perform and
observe in all material respects, all the terms and provisions of each Facility
Lease to be performed or observed by it.

6.19. Anti-Terrorism Laws.

The Credit Parties covenant and agree to execute and/or deliver to
Administrative Agent any certification or other evidence reasonably requested
from time to time by Administrative Agent, confirming the Credit Parties’
representations and warranties in Section 5.22 including, without limitation,
any documentation which is necessary for ongoing compliance with any anti-money
laundering Laws applicable to any Lender.

6.20. Health Care Covenants.

Without limiting the generality of the provisions of Section 6.05, the Borrowers
hereby represents, covenant and agree as follows:

(a) If and to the extent required under applicable Laws, Borrowers shall cause
each Eligible Tenant to maintain in full force and effect a valid certificate of
need (“CON”) or similar certificate, license, or approval issued by the State
Regulator for the requisite number of Licensed Beds in the Real Property Assets,
and a provider agreement or other required documentation of approved provider
status for each provider payment or reimbursement program with which such
Eligible Tenant participates, if applicable. Borrowers shall cause each Eligible
Tenant to operate the Real Property Assets in a manner such that the Licenses
shall remain in full force and effect. True and complete copies of the Licenses
have been delivered to Lender.

(b) The Licenses:

(i) Are not now and will not be transferred to any location other than the
applicable Real Property Asset; and

(ii) Shall continue in full force and effect throughout the term of the Loan and
will remain free from restrictions or known conflicts, and shall not be
provisional, probationary or restricted in any manner, which would materially
impair the use or operation of the applicable Real Property Asset as a skilled
nursing facility.

(c) Borrowers shall not do, and shall not permit any Eligible Tenant to do (or
suffer to be done), any of the following with respect to the Real Property
Assets:

(i) Rescind, withdraw, revoke, or amend the number of Licensed Beds permitted
under the Licenses or otherwise amend the Licenses in such a manner that results
in a Material Adverse Effect or otherwise diminish or impair the nature, tenor
or scope of the Licenses which could reasonably be expected to materially impair
the use or operation of the applicable Real Property Asset as a skilled nursing
facility;

(ii) Amend or otherwise change the number of Licensed Beds approved by the State
Regulator in such a manner that results or could reasonably be expected to
result in a Material Adverse Effect or otherwise diminishes or impairs the use
or operation of the applicable Real Property Asset as a skilled nursing
facility; or

 

83

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

(iii) Replace or transfer all or any part of any Real Property Asset’s Licensed
Beds to another site or location other than another Real Property Asset.

6.21. Use and Application of Insurance Proceeds.

(a) Notice. If any Real Property Asset shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole
or a substantial part, by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), the Borrowers
shall give prompt notice thereof to the Administrative Agent.

(b) Application of Insurance Proceeds. Following a Casualty, the Administrative
Agent shall pay the insurance proceeds to Borrowers to apply toward the
rebuilding and restoration of the improvements on the affected Real Property
Asset, provided that (A) at all times during such restoration no Event of
Default exists; (B) the applicable Borrower promptly commences and is diligently
pursuing the settlement of the insurance claim and the restoration of the Real
Property Asset (or requires the applicable Eligible Tenant to do so); and
(C) the affected Real Property Asset after the restoration will be in compliance
with and permitted under all applicable Laws, including zoning, building and
land use laws, rules, regulations and ordinances; provided, further that the
Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion whether to pay the
insurance proceeds to Borrowers to apply toward the rebuilding and restoration
of the improvements on the affected Real Property Asset if an Event of Default
would exist if the Rental Revenue associated with such Real Property Asset were
excluded from the calculation of the financial covenants hereunder during the
period of any such restoration or repair. So long as an Event of Default exists,
however, the insurance proceeds shall be paid to the Administrative Agent and if
the applicable Facility Lease is not terminated as a result of the Casualty, the
Administrative Agent shall make such insurance proceeds available to the
Eligible Tenant on the same terms and conditions as set forth in the applicable
Facility Lease. In the event the applicable Facility Lease is terminated and an
Event of Default exists, then, in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable
discretion, the Administrative Agent may apply any insurance proceeds it may
receive to Obligations owing under the Credit Documents in such order and manner
as the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion determines, or allow all or a
portion of such proceeds to be used for the restoration of the affected Real
Property Asset.

6.22. Condemnation Awards.

To the extent any Borrower receives written notice thereof, such Borrower shall
promptly give the Administrative Agent written notice of the actual or
threatened commencement of any condemnation or eminent domain proceeding
affecting all or any substantial portion of a Real Property Asset (a
“Condemnation”) and shall deliver to the Administrative Agent copies of any and
all papers served in connection with such Condemnation. Following the occurrence
of a Condemnation, so long as an Event of Default does not exist, the applicable
Borrower shall be entitled to receive any award or compensation (an “Award”)
paid in connection with the Condemnation and decide whether or not (and to what
extent) to restore, repair, replace or rebuild the affected Real Property Asset.
Upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, the applicable Borrower
shall keep the Administrative Agent informed of the progress of the

 

84

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

Condemnation proceedings, including delivering to the Administrative Agent
documents which are reasonably necessary for the Administrative Agent be
properly informed. So long as no Event of Default exists, the applicable
Borrower may settle such Condemnation in such manner and for such amount as such
Borrower determines is acceptable in its reasonable judgment. So long as an
Event of Default exists, however, without the Administrative Agent’s prior
consent, the Borrowers (a) shall not agree to any Award, and (b) shall not take
any action or fail to take any action which would cause the Award to be
determined and all Awards for the taking or purchase in lieu of condemnation of
any Real Property Asset or any part thereof in such circumstances shall be
assigned and paid to the Administrative Agent. If the applicable Facility Lease
is not terminated, then, to the extent the Administrative Agent receives the
Award, the Administrative Agent shall make such Award available to the
applicable Eligible Tenant under the terms and conditions of its Facility Lease.
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if an Event of Default exists
and the applicable Facility Lease is terminated, the Administrative Agent is
authorized to adjust such Award without the consent of the applicable Borrower
and to collect such Award in the name of the Administrative Agent and such
Borrower. In such event and in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion,
the Administrative Agent may apply any such Award it may receive to Obligations
owing under the Credit Documents in such order and manner as the Administrative
Agent in its sole discretion determines, or allow all or a portion of such Award
to be used for the restoration of the affected Real Property Asset.

ARTICLE VII

NEGATIVE COVENANTS

Administrative Agent and each Lender that until the Obligations, together with
interest, fees and other obligations hereunder (other than indemnification
obligations and other contingent obligations for which no claim has been
asserted), have been paid in full and the Revolving Commitments hereunder shall
have terminated:

7.01. Liens.

No Borrower shall, at any time, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any
Lien upon any of its property, assets or revenues, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, or sign or file or suffer to exist under the Uniform

Borrower as debtor, or assign any accounts or other right to receive income,
other than Permitted Liens. The OP Guarantor shall not create any Lien upon the
Capital Stock of the Parent Borrower owned by the OP Guarantor and the Parent
Borrower shall not create any Lien upon the Capital Stock of the Borrowers. Any
term or provision of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents to the
contrary notwithstanding, no Borrower shall, at any time, create, incur, assume

(if any) and subordination (if any), and other material terms taken as a whole,
of any such refinancing, refunding, renewing or extending Indebtedness, and of
any agreement entered into and of any instrument issued in connection therewith,
are no less favorable in any material respect to the Borrowers or the Lenders
than the terms of any agreement or instrument governing the Indebtedness being
refinanced, refunded, renewed or extended and the interest rate applicable to
any such refinancing, refunding, renewing or extending Indebtedness does not
exceed the then applicable market interest rate;

(c) unsecured intercompany Indebtedness of any Borrower to any Credit Party;
provided, that such Indebtedness be expressly subordinated in all respects to

Borrower, (b) any Person (including any Unrestricted Subsidiary) which is not a
Credit Party may be merged or consolidated with or into any Credit Party

corporation or the continuing or surviving corporation shall become a Credit
Party as herein provided, (c) any Subsidiary Guarantor may be merged or
consolidated with or into any other Subsidiary Guarantor and (d) any Subsidiary
Guarantor may dissolve, liquidate or wind up its affairs at any time provided

(i) consummating a public offering of the Capital Stock of such entity,
including through the issuance of additional Capital Stock of such entity, or

constitute a Default or an Event of Default hereunder; provided, that (x) such
public offering would not result in a Change of Control and (y) the Borrowers
are otherwise in compliance with the applicable terms of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, no
provision of this Agreement shall prohibit the direct and indirect owners of the
Parent Borrower from consummating a public offering of the Capital Stock or from
issuing Capital Stock of the direct and indirect owners of the Parent Borrower
to any Person or otherwise becoming a publicly traded entity and such actions
shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default, provided that the Credit
Parties are in compliance with the applicable terms of this Agreement, including
the financial covenants set forth in Section 6.11.

7.05. Dispositions.

The Borrowers shall not make any sale, lease to any Person other than an
Eligible Tenant, transfer or other disposition of any Borrowing Base Asset,

provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not apply to
transaction solely by and among the Credit Parties.

affect (i) the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights and remedies
hereunder, or (ii) the value of the Collateral.

Lenders) for the purpose of securing the Obligations, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, or requiring the grant of any security for any obligation if
such property is given as security for the Obligations, except (a) in connection
with any Permitted Lien or any document or instrument governing any Permitted
Lien, provided that any such restriction contained therein relates only to the
asset or assets subject to such Permitted Lien, (b) pursuant to customary
restrictions and conditions contained in any agreement relating to the sale of
any property permitted under Section 7.06 or Section 7.08, pending the
consummation of such sale and (c) restrictions arising in connection with the

immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other
notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers;
and

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and during continuation thereof,
then, without waiving or releasing any other right, remedy or recourse the
Administrative Agent or Lenders may have because of such Event of Default, the

interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date that is three (3) Business

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

ARTICLE IX

ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

9.01. Appointment and Authorization of Administrative Agent.

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of
this Credit Agreement and each other Credit Document and to exercise such powers
and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to it by the terms of this
Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary
contained elsewhere herein or in any other Credit Document, the Administrative
Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set
forth herein, nor shall the Administrative Agent have or be deemed to have any
fiduciary relationship with any Lender or participant, and no implied covenants,
functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read
into this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document or otherwise exist
against the Administrative Agent. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Credit
Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote
any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency
doctrine of any applicable Law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter of
market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative
relationship between independent contracting parties.

9.02. Delegation of Duties.

The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Credit
Agreement or any other Credit Document by or through agents, employees or
attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other
consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The
Administrative Agent 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.

9.03. Liability of Administrative Agent.

No Agent-Related Person shall (a) be liable for any action taken or omitted to
be taken by any of them under or in connection with this Credit Agreement or any
other Credit Document or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its
own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties
expressly set forth herein), or (b) be responsible in any manner to any Lender
or participant for any recital, statement, representation or warranty made by
any Credit Party or any officer thereof, contained herein or in any other Credit
Document, or in any certificate, report, statement or other document referred to
or provided for in, or received by the Administrative Agent under or in
connection with, this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the
validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this
Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document, or for any failure of any Credit
Party or any other party to any Credit Document to perform its obligations
hereunder or thereunder. No Agent-Related Person shall be under any obligation
to any Lender or participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or
performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, this Credit
Agreement or any other Credit Document, or to inspect the properties, books or
records of any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof.

 

95

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

9.04. Reliance by Administrative Agent.

(a) The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any writing, communication, signature, resolution,
representation, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram,
facsimile, telex or telephone message, electronic mail message, statement or
other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to
have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice
and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to any Credit Party),
independent accountants and other experts selected by the Administrative Agent.
The Administrative Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take
any action under any Credit Document unless it shall first receive such advice
or concurrence of the Required Lenders as it deems appropriate and, if it so
requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders
against any and all liability and expense that may be incurred by it by reason
of taking or continuing to take any such action. The Administrative Agent shall
in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under
this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document in accordance with a request
or consent of the Required Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as may be
expressly required hereby in any instance) and such request and any action taken
or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders.

(b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in
Section 4.01, each Lender that has signed this Credit Agreement shall be deemed
to have consented to, approved or accepted or to be satisfied with, each
document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or approved by
or acceptable or satisfactory to a Lender unless the Administrative Agent shall
have received notice from such Lender prior to the proposed Funding Date
specifying its objection thereto.

9.05. Notice of Default.

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the
occurrence of any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults
in the payment of principal, interest and fees required to be paid to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Administrative
Agent shall have received written notice from a Lender or any Borrower referring
to this Credit Agreement, describing such Default or Event of Default and
stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” The Administrative Agent will
notify the Lenders promptly of its receipt of any such notice and/or upon
learning that there is a Default or Event of Default. The Administrative Agent
shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as may
be directed by the Required Lenders in accordance herewith; provided, however,
that unless and until the Administrative Agent has received any such direction,
the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action,
or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of
Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interest of the Lenders.

 

96

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

9.06. Credit Decision; Disclosure of Confidential Information by Administrative
Agent.

Each Lender acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any
representation or warranty to it, and that no act by the Administrative Agent
hereafter taken, including any consent to and acceptance of any assignment or
review of the affairs of any Credit Party or any Affiliate thereof, shall be
deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by any Agent-Related Person
to any Lender as to any matter, including whether Agent-Related Persons have
disclosed material information in their possession (in each case, except to the
extent the Administrative Agent has confirmed to any Lender in writing the
satisfaction of conditions to funding as of the Funding Date). Each Lender
represents to the Administrative Agent that it has, independently and without
reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of, and
investigation into, the business, prospects, operations, property, financial and
other condition and creditworthiness of the Credit Parties and their respective
Subsidiaries, and all applicable bank or other regulatory Laws relating to the
transactions contemplated hereby, and made its own decision to enter into this
Credit Agreement and to extend credit to the Borrowers and the other Credit
Parties hereunder. Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and
without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under
this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, and to make such
investigations as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business,
prospects, operations, property, financial and other condition and
creditworthiness of the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties. Except for
notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the
Lenders by the Administrative Agent herein, the Administrative Agent shall not
have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information concerning the business, prospects, operations, property, financial
and other condition or creditworthiness of any of the Credit Parties or any of
their respective Affiliates that may come into the possession of any
Agent-Related Person.

9.07. Indemnification of Administrative Agent.

Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders
shall indemnify upon demand each Agent-Related Person (to the extent not
reimbursed by or on behalf of any Credit Party and without limiting the
obligation of any Credit Party to do so), pro rata, and hold harmless each
Agent-Related Person from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities
incurred by it; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for the
payment to any Agent-Related Person of any portion of such Indemnified
Liabilities to the extent determined in a final, nonappealable judgment by a
court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Agent-Related
Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that no
action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders shall be
deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this
Section. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the
Administrative Agent upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out of
pocket expenses (including Attorney Costs) incurred by the Administrative Agent
in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration,
modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal
proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or
responsibilities under, this Credit Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any
document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent

 

97

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

that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on
behalf of the Borrowers or any other Credit Party. The undertaking in this
Section shall survive termination of the Aggregate Commitments, the payment of
all other Obligations and the resignation of the Administrative Agent.

9.08. Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity.

GECC and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the
account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally
engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other
business with each of the Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates as
though GECC were not the Administrative Agent hereunder and without notice to or
consent of the Lenders. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such
activities, GECC or its Affiliates may receive information regarding any Credit
Party or its Affiliates (including information that may be subject to
confidentiality obligations in favor of such Credit Party or such Affiliate) and
acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to
provide such information to them. With respect to its Extension of Credit, GECC
shall have the same rights and powers under this Credit Agreement as any other
Lender and may exercise such rights and powers as though it were not the
Administrative Agent, and the terms “Lender” and “Lenders” include GECC in its
individual capacity.

9.09. Successor Administrative Agent.

The Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent “for cause” upon
thirty (30) days’ notice to the Lenders and the Parent Borrower. If the
Administrative Agent resigns or is replaced as set forth below under this Credit
Agreement, the Required Lenders shall appoint from among the Lenders a successor
administrative agent for the Lenders, which successor administrative agent shall
be consented to by the Parent Borrower at all times other than during the
existence of an Event of Default (which consent of the Parent Borrower shall not
be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor administrative agent is
appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the Administrative
Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders
and the Parent Borrower, a successor administrative agent from among the
Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor administrative
agent hereunder, the Person acting as such successor administrative agent shall
succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative
Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” thereafter shall mean such successor
administrative agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers
and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated without any other or
further act or deed on the part of such retiring Administrative Agent or any
other Lender. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation hereunder as
Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article IX and Sections 10.04 and
10.05 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken
by it while it was Administrative Agent under this Credit Agreement. If no
successor administrative agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent
by the date thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice
of resignation, the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation shall
nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders shall perform all of the
duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as the
Required Lenders appoint a successor agent as provided for above. For purposes
of this Section 9.09, “for cause” shall mean (a) to the extent required by any
legislative or regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it
(including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners), (b) to the extent required by applicable Laws or
regulations or (c) to the extent required as a corporate policy matter.

 

98

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Administrative Agent may be removed as
Administrative Agent upon the request of all the Lenders (other than Affiliates
of Administrative Agent) if (i) it has committed actions constituting gross
negligence or willful misconduct under this Agreement or (ii) fails to hold any
portion of the Aggregate Commitments.

9.10. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim.

In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other
judicial proceeding relative to any Credit Party, the Administrative Agent
(irrespective of whether the principal of the Loan shall then be due and payable
as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether
the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrowers) shall be
entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest
owing and unpaid in respect of the Loan and all other Obligations (other than
obligations under Swap Contracts to which the Administrative Agent is not a
party) that are owing and unpaid and to file such other documents as may be
necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent
and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders
and the Administrative Agent under Section 2.07 and 10.04) allowed in such
judicial proceeding; and

(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable
on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Lender to make such payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event
that the Administrative Agent shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Lenders, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Administrative Agent under Sections 2.07 and 10.04.

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent
to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender any plan
of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
Obligations or the rights of any Lender or to authorize the Administrative Agent
to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender in any such proceeding.

 

99

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

9.11. Collateral and Guaranty Matters.

The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent and the
Administrative Agent shall, release any guarantor from its obligations under its
guaranty or any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any
Credit Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in
full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations),
(ii) on any property (including equity interests) that is transferred or to be
transferred as part of or in connection with any Disposition permitted hereunder
or under any other Credit Document, any Involuntary Disposition or any release
or replacement of any Borrowing Base Asset permitted in accordance with
Section 9.12, and 9.13 or (iii) as approved in accordance with Section 10.01.

The Lenders irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent to release any
Subsidiary Guarantor (but not the REIT Guarantor, the LP Guarantor or the OP
Guarantor) from its obligations under the Guaranty in accordance with
Section 11.08. Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the
Required Lenders will confirm in writing the authority of the Administrative
Agent to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations hereunder

Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will
confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release its interest
in particular types or items of property pursuant to this Section 9.11. Upon the
release of any Subsidiary Guarantor pursuant to this Section 9.11 or
Section 11.08, the Administrative Agent shall (to the extent applicable) deliver
to the Credit Parties, upon the Credit Parties’ request and at the Credit
Parties’ expense, such documentation as is reasonably necessary to evidence the
release of such Guarantor from its obligations under the Credit Documents.

9.12. Addition/Removal of Borrowing Base Assets.

(a) The Borrowers may obtain releases of Borrowing Base Assets from the Liens
and security interests of the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the
Collateral Documents relating thereto and all Obligations hereunder and under
the Collateral Documents through satisfaction of each of the following
conditions:

(i) the Parent Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, not less than
five (5) Business Days prior to the date of such requested release a written
request for release of the applicable Borrowing Base Asset;

(ii) the Parent Borrower shall deliver, together with such request for release,
a pro forma Compliance Certificate showing that, on a pro forma basis, after
giving effect to such release and any corresponding prepayment of the Loans,
(A) all financial covenants contained herein shall be satisfied and (B) the
outstanding principal amount of Obligations shall be less than (y) the Aggregate
Committed Amount and (z) the Borrowing Base Amount (after giving effect to the
removal of such Borrowing Base Asset from the calculation of the Borrowing Base
Amount, if applicable, any prepayment of principal which will be made in
connection with such release and any addition of any Borrowing Base Asset to
occur in connection with such release);

(iii) a Responsible Officer of the Parent Borrower or REIT Guarantor shall
certify in writing to the Administrative Agent that no Default or Event of
Default shall exist immediately after giving effect to the applicable release,
any prepayment of principal which will be made in connection with such release
and any addition of any Borrowing Base Asset to occur in connection with such
release; and

 

100

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

(iv) the Administrative Agent shall have received evidence, acceptable to it in
its discretion that the matters set forth in such request, Compliance
Certificate and certification are true and correct in all material respects. To
the extent all such conditions to release are satisfied, the Administrative
Agent will, at the Borrowers’ expense, within five (5) Business Days thereafter
deliver to the applicable Borrower such documentation as is reasonably necessary
to evidence the release of the Administrative Agent’s security interest, if any,
in the released Borrowing Base Asset(s) and release from all other Obligations.

(b) The Borrowers shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, immediately upon a
Responsible Officer of any Credit Party obtaining knowledge of a Borrowing Base
Asset failing to qualify as such, a pro forma Borrowing Base Certificate (which
certificate shall include an update to the information set forth on Schedule
5.12) demonstrating that, upon giving effect to the removal from the calculation
of the Borrowing Base Amount of the Collateral Value attributable to such former
Borrowing Base Asset, the Borrowers shall be in compliance with Section 2.01(a)
hereof.

(c) The Borrowers shall not include any Real Property Asset as a Borrowing Base
Asset on any schedule, Borrowing Base Certificate or Compliance Certificate
delivered in connection with this Credit Agreement unless (i) such Real Property
Asset meets the definition of Borrowing Base Asset and Borrowers have otherwise
satisfied the requirements set forth in this Agreement and (ii) such Real
Property Asset continues to qualify as a Borrowing Base Asset as of the date of
such inclusion.

(d) The Borrowers may, at any time after the Closing Date, include additional
Real Property Assets as Borrowing Base Assets to the extent the following
conditions are satisfied:

(i) such additional Real Property Asset satisfies the requirements set forth in
the definition of Borrowing Base Assets, including, without limitation, delivery
of each of the Borrowing Base Asset Deliverables with respect thereto;

(ii) receipt of a FIRREA-compliant MAI appraisal commissioned, reviewed and
approved by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to such
additional Real Property Asset; provided that (A) the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders shall use reasonable efforts to approve or disapprove the appraisals
within fifteen (15) Business Days after they are received and a failure to
approve or disapprove the appraisals in such fifteen (15) Business Day period
shall be deemed to mean that such appraisals are approved and (B) to the extent
any such appraisal is denied approval, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
shall specify the reasons in writing to the Borrowers for such denial; and

(iii) if the owner of such additional Real Property Asset is not then a
Borrower, an executed Borrower Joinder Agreement.

 

101

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

Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereby agree that such Real Property Assets
may be acquired through the acquisitions of direct or indirect interest in any
entity holding title to such Real Property Asset(s).

(e) Whenever the Administrative Agent or the Lenders are required to provide a
release of a Borrowing Base Asset (including a termination of a security
interest) under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as
applicable, shall endeavor to provide such release promptly and, to the extent
the release of such Borrowing Base Asset is being requested in connection with
any Disposition permitted hereunder or under any other Credit Document, provided
the Administrative Agent has received at least ten (10) Business Days prior
written notice of the requirements for such release, the Administrative Agent or
the Lenders, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts to coordinate the
delivery of the release with the closing of such Disposition. In connection with
any release pursuant to this Section 9.12, the Administrative Agent shall (to
the extent applicable) deliver to the Credit Parties, upon the Credit Parties’
request and at the Credit Parties’ expense, such documentation as is reasonably
necessary to evidence such release of any liens and security interests and the
release of such Borrower for its obligations under the Credit Documents.

9.13. Like-Kind Exchanges.

In connection with any Borrower’s sale of a Real Property Asset, such Borrower
may structure the sale as a like-kind exchange for all or a portion of such Real
Property Asset, in one or more forward, concurrent or delayed tax-deferred
exchanges which shall qualify under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code
(“1031 Exchange”). If a Real Property Asset is sold as part of a 1031 Exchange,
such Borrower may, in its sole election, remain a Subsidiary of Parent Borrower
after the sale and release of the Real Property Asset for so long as is
reasonably required to complete the 1031 Exchange and acquire a new Real
Property Asset.

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

10.01. Amendments, Etc.

Unless expressly addressed in any Credit Document, no amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document (other than
Secured Swap Contracts), and no consent to any departure by the Borrowers or any
other Credit Party therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the
Required Lenders and the Borrowers or the applicable Credit Party, as the case
may be, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given; provided, however, that no such amendment, waiver or
consent shall:

(a) extend or increase the Commitment of any Lender (or reinstate any Commitment
terminated pursuant to Section 8.02) without the written consent of such Lender;

(b) postpone any date fixed by this Credit Agreement or any other Credit
Document for any payment (excluding mandatory prepayments) of principal,
interest, fees or other amounts due to the Lenders (or any of them) hereunder or
under any other Credit Document without the written consent of each Lender
directly affected thereby;

 

102

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

(c) reduce the principal of, or the rate of interest specified herein on, any
Loan, or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder or under any other Credit
Document without the written consent of each Lender directly affected thereby;
provided, however, that only the consent of the Required Lenders shall be
necessary to amend the definition of “Default Rate” or to waive any obligation
of the Borrowers to pay interest at the Default Rate;

(d) change Section 2.10 or Section 8.03 in a manner that would alter the pro
rata sharing of payments required thereby without the written consent of each
Lender;

(e) change any provision of this Section or the definition of “Required Lenders”
or any other provision hereof specifying the number or percentage of Lenders
required to amend, waive or otherwise modify any rights hereunder or make any
determination or grant any consent hereunder without the written consent of each
Lender;

(f) release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or
series of related transactions without the written consent of each Lender except
as permitted in accordance with Sections 9.11, 9.12, 9.13, and 11.08 hereof; or

(g) release all or substantially all of the Subsidiary Guarantors from their
obligations hereunder (other than as provided herein or as appropriate in
connection with transactions permitted hereunder) or release the REIT Guarantor,
the LP Guarantor or the OP Guarantor from the Guaranty;

and, provided further, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in
writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders
required above, affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under
this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder, except that (A) the
Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the
consent of such Lender, (B) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the
consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any
Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the
consent of such Defaulting Lender, (C) any Defaulting Lender’s balance may not
be forgiven without the consent of such Defaulting Lender, and (D) the interest
rate on the Loans of any Defaulting Lender cannot be reduced without the consent
of such Defaulting Lender. No amendment, modification or waiver of this
Agreement or any Credit Document altering the ratable treatment of Obligations
arising under a Secured Swap Contract resulting in such Obligations being junior
in right of payment to principal of the Loans or resulting in Obligations owing
to any Secured Swap Counterparty thereunder being unsecured (other than releases
of Liens applicable to all Lenders and otherwise permitted in accordance with
the terms hereof or any other Credit Document), in each case in a manner adverse
to any Secured Swap Counterparty, shall be effective without the written consent
of such Secured Swap Counterparty or, in the case of a Secured Swap Contract
provided or arranged by the Administrative Agent or an Affiliate thereof, the
Administrative Agent. If, in connection with any proposed amendment, waiver or
consent requiring the consent of “each Lender” or “each

 

103

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

Lender directly affected thereby,” the consent of the Required Lenders is
obtained, but the consent of other necessary Lenders is not obtained (any such
Lender whose consent is necessary but not obtained being referred to herein as a
“Non-Consenting Lender”), then the Parent Borrower may elect to replace any such
Non-Consenting Lender as a Lender party to this Agreement pursuant to
Section 10.13.

10.02. Notices; Effectiveness; Electronic Communications.

(a) Notices Generally. Except in the case of notices and other communications
expressly permitted to be given by telephone (and except as provided in
subsection (b) below), all notices and other communications provided for herein
shall be in writing (including by telecopier transmission) and shall be
delivered by hand or overnight courier service, mailed by certified or
registered mail or sent by telecopier as follows, and all notices and other
communications expressly permitted hereunder to be given by telephone shall be
made to the applicable telephone number, as follows:

(i) if to any Credit Party or the Administrative Agent, to the address,
telecopier number, electronic mail address or telephone number specified for
such Person on Schedule 10.02; and

(ii) if to any other Lender, to the address, telecopier number, electronic mail
address or telephone number specified in its Administrative Questionnaire.

Notices and other communications sent by hand or overnight courier service, or
mailed by certified or registered mail, shall be deemed to have been given when
received; notices and other communications sent by telecopier shall be deemed to
have been given when sent (except that, if not given during normal business
hours for the recipient, shall be deemed to have been given at the opening of
business on the next business day for the recipient). Notices and other
communications delivered through electronic communications to the extent
provided in subsection (b) below shall be effective as provided in such
subsection (b).

(b) Electronic Communications. Notices and other communications to the Lenders
hereunder may be delivered or furnished by electronic communication (including
e-mail and Internet or intranet websites) pursuant to procedures approved by the
Administrative Agent, provided that the foregoing shall not apply to service of
process or to notices to any Lender pursuant to Article II if such Lender has
notified the Administrative Agent that it is incapable of receiving notices
under such Article by electronic communication. The Administrative Agent or the
Parent Borrower may, in its discretion, agree to accept notices and other
communications to it hereunder by electronic communications pursuant to
procedures approved by it, provided that approval of such procedures may be
limited to particular notices or communications.

Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise prescribes, (i) notices and other
communications sent to an e-mail address shall be deemed received upon the
sender’s receipt of an acknowledgement from the intended recipient (such as by
the “return receipt requested” function, as available, return e-mail or other
written acknowledgement), provided that if such notice or other communication is
not sent during the normal business hours of the recipient, such notice or
communication shall be deemed to have been sent at the opening of business on
the

 

104

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

next business day for the recipient, and (ii) notices or communications posted
to an Internet or intranet website shall be deemed received upon the deemed
receipt by the intended recipient at its e-mail address as described in the
foregoing clause (i) of notification that such notice or communication is
available and identifying the website address therefor.

(c) The Platform. THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” THE AGENT
PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) DO NOT WARRANT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE
BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE ADEQUACY OF THE PLATFORM, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM
LIABILITY FOR ERRORS IN OR OMISSIONS FROM THE BORROWER MATERIALS. NO WARRANTY OF
ANY KIND, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD
PARTY RIGHTS OR FREEDOM FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER CODE DEFECTS, IS MADE BY ANY AGENT
PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE BORROWER MATERIALS OR THE PLATFORM. In no event
shall the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties (collectively, the
“Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Credit Parties, any Lender, or any
other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of any kind
(whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Credit Parties’ or
the Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the
Internet, except to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by a final and
nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no event shall any
Agent Party have any liability to the Credit Parties, any Lender, or any other
Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as
opposed to direct or actual damages).

(d) Change of Address, Etc. Each of the Credit Parties and the Administrative
Agent may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and
other communications hereunder by written notice to the other parties hereto.
Each other Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for
notices and other communications hereunder by notice to the Parent Borrower and
the Administrative Agent. In addition, each Lender agrees to notify the
Administrative Agent from time to time to ensure that the Administrative Agent
has on record (i) an effective address, contact name, telephone number,
telecopier number and electronic mail address to which notices and other
communications may be sent and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender.
Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to cause at least one individual at or on
behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected the “Private Side
Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the
Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance
with such Public Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including
United States Federal and state securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower
Materials that are not made available through the “Public Side Information”
portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public information
with respect to the Credit Parties or its securities for purposes of United
States Federal or state securities laws.

 

105

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

(e) Reliance by Administrative Agent and Lenders. The Administrative Agent and
the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including
telephonic Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of the Credit Parties
even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were
incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice
specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient,
varied from any confirmation thereof. The Credit Parties shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of them from
all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such
Person on each notice purportedly given by or on behalf of the Credit Parties.
All telephonic notices to and other telephonic communications with the
Administrative Agent may be recorded by the Administrative Agent, and each of
the parties hereto hereby consents to such recording.

(f) Effectiveness of Facsimile Documents and Signatures. Credit Documents may be
transmitted and/or signed by facsimile. The effectiveness of any such documents
and signatures shall, subject to applicable Law, have the same force and effect
as manually-signed originals and shall be binding on all Loan Parties, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders. The Administrative Agent may also require
that any such documents and signatures be confirmed by a manually-signed
original thereof; provided, however, that the failure to request or deliver the
same shall not limit the effectiveness of any facsimile document or signature.

(g) Flood Law Notification. The Administrative Agent has adopted internal
policies and procedures that address requirements placed on federally regulated
lenders under the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 and related
legislation (the “Flood Laws”). The Administrative Agent will post on the
applicable electronic platform (or otherwise distribute to each Lender)
documents that it receives in connection with the Flood Laws. However, the
Administrative Agent reminds each Lender and participant that, pursuant to the
Flood Laws, each federally regulated lender (whether acting as a Lender or
participant) is responsible for assuring its own compliance with the flood
insurance requirements.

10.03. No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement.

No failure by any Lender or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay
by any such Person in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege
hereunder or under any other Credit Document shall operate as a waiver thereof;
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or
privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights, remedies,
powers and privileges herein provided, and provided under each other Credit
Document, are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, remedies, powers and
privileges provided by law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Credit
Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the
other Credit Documents against the Credit Parties or any of them shall be vested
exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such
enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.02 for the benefit of all the
Lenders; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the
Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies
that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent)
hereunder and under the other Credit Documents and (b) any Lender from
exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 10.08 (subject to the terms
of Sections 2.10 and 10.22), or (c) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or
appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a
proceeding relative to

 

106

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

any Credit Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at
any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under
the other Credit Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the rights
otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.02 and
(ii) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the
preceding proviso and subject to Section 2.10, any Lender may, with the consent
of the Required Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as
authorized by the Required Lenders.

10.04. Expenses; Indemnity; Damage Waiver.

(a) Costs and Expenses. The Credit Parties shall pay (i) all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates
(including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of external counsel
for the Administrative Agent), in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein, the preparation, negotiation, execution,
delivery and administration of this Credit Agreement and the other Credit
Documents or any amendments, modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof
or thereof (whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby shall
be consummated) and (ii) all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender (including the fees, charges and
disbursements of any external counsel for the Administrative Agent or any
Lender), in connection with the enforcement or protection of its rights (A) in
connection with this Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents, including
its rights under this Section, or (B) in connection with Loans made, including
all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or
negotiations in respect of such Loans.

(b) Indemnification by the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties shall indemnify
and defend the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender,
and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being
called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold each Indemnitee harmless from, any and
all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, obligations, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, disbursements and related expenses (including the fees,
charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), incurred by any
Indemnitee or asserted against any Indemnitee by any third party or by any
Borrower or any other Credit Party arising out of, in connection with, or as a
result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Credit Agreement, any other
Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby,
the performance by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder
or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof)
and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents (including in respect of any matters addressed in
Section 3.01), (ii) any Loan or the use or proposed use of the proceeds
therefrom, (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous
Substance on or from any property owned or operated by any Credit Party, or any
environmental liability related in any way to any Credit Party, (iv) any acts
performed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the provisions of Section 8.04
(including those arising from the joint, concurrent, or comparative negligence
of the Administrative Agent), or (v) any actual or prospective claim,
litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing,
whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third
party or by any Borrower or any other Credit Party, and regardless of whether
any Indemnitee is a party thereto (all of the foregoing, collectively, the
“Indemnified Liabilities”); provided that such indemnity

 

107

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

shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses,
claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court
of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result
from a claim brought by any Borrower or any other Credit Party against such
Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or
under any other Credit Document, if such Borrower or such other Credit Party has
obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.

(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Credit Parties for any
reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b)
of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent
thereof), or any Related Party of any of the foregoing (and without limiting
their obligation to do so), each Lender severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), or such Related Party, as the case
may be, such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined as of the time
that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought) of such
unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss,
claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by
or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in its
capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting
for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) in connection with such
capacity. The obligations of the Lenders under this subsection (c) are subject
to the provisions of Section 2.09(e).

(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Law, the Credit Parties shall not assert, and hereby waives, any
claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect,
consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages)
arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Credit Agreement,
any other Credit Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby,
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or the use of the
proceeds thereof. No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be
liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any
information or other materials distributed to such unintended recipients by such
Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information
transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Credit
Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for
direct or actual damages resulting from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and nonappealable
judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.

(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than
ten Business Days after demand therefor.

(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of
the Administrative Agent, the replacement of any Lender, the termination of the
Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the
other Obligations.

 

108

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

10.05. Payments Set Aside.

To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Credit Parties is made to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent or any
Lender exercises its right of set-off, and such payment or the proceeds of such
set-off or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be
fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required (including pursuant to any
settlement entered into by the Administrative Agent or such Lender in its
discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in
connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then
(a) to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally
intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect
as if such payment had not been made or such set-off had not occurred, and
(b) each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent upon demand
its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so recovered from or
repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such
demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal
Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders under
clause (b) of the preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the
Obligations and the termination of this Credit Agreement.

10.06. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Credit Agreement
and the other Credit Documents shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the parties hereto and thereto and their respective successors and assigns
permitted hereby, except that no Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer
any of its rights or obligations hereunder or thereunder without the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may
assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except
(i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this
Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of
subsection (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a
security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section
(and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be
null and void). Nothing in this Credit Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be
construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent
provided in subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly
contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of
this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more
assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement
and the other Credit Documents (including all or a portion of its Commitment and
the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be
subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning
Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an
assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum
amount need be assigned; and

 

109

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

(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the
aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans
outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect, the
principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to
each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption
with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if
“Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the “Trade
Date”, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless each of the Administrative Agent
and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Parent
Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed); provided, however, that concurrent assignments to members of an
Assignee Group and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a
single Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee
Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining
whether such minimum amount has been met.

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an
assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Credit Agreement with respect to the Loans or the
Commitment assigned;

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except
to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Parent Borrower shall be required for any assignment
unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or (2) the
assignment is to an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to
such Lender; and

(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to a Person that is
not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to
such Lender.

(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with
a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500, paid by the applicable
assignee; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole
discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of
any assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to any Credit
Party or any of the Credit Parties’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a
natural person.

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to subsection (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified
in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to
this Credit Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such
Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a

 

110

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

Lender under this Credit Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall,
to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be
released from its obligations under this Credit Agreement (and, in the case of
an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Credit Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party
hereto but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04,
3.05, 10.04 and 10.05 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to
the effective date of such assignment). Upon request, the Borrowers (at their
expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment
or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Credit Agreement
that does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this
Credit Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and
obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of this Section.

(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an
agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a
copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of,
and principal amounts 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, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may
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, notwithstanding
notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the
Parent Borrower and any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or
notice to, the Credit Parties or the Administrative Agent, sell participations
with voting rights limited to significant matters such as changes in amount,
rate, maturity date and releases of all or substantially all of the Collateral
to any Person (other than a natural person or the Credit Parties or any of the
Credit Parties’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a
portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement owing to
it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall
remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other
parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Credit
Parties, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal
solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which
a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain
the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment,
modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the
consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification
described in the first proviso to Section 10.01(a) that affects such
Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section, the Credit Parties agree
that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04
and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest
by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent
permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Section 10.08 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be
subject to Section 2.10 as though it were a Lender. Each Lender that sells a
participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the
Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each
Participant and the rights and/or obligation sold to such Participant.

 

111

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

(e) Limitation on Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable
Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation
sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such
Participant is made with the Parent Borrower’s prior written consent. A
Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the
Parent Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant and
such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrowers, to comply with
Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security
interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including
under its Note, if any) to secure obligations of such Lender, including any
pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided
that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its
obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender
as a party hereto.

10.07. Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality.

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders agree to maintain the
confidentiality of the Information (as defined below), except that Information
may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ respective
partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and
representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is
made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and
instructed to keep such Information confidential), (b) to the extent requested
by any regulatory authority purporting to have jurisdiction over it (including
any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance
Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable Laws or regulations or
by any subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in
connection with the exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Credit
Document or any action or proceeding relating to this Credit Agreement or any
other Credit Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder,
(f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as
those of this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any
prospective assignee of or Participant in, any of its rights or obligations
under this Credit Agreement or any Eligible Assignee invited to be a Lender
pursuant to Section 2.01(b) or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or
its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to any Borrower and
its obligations, (g) with the consent of the Parent Borrower or (h) to the
extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of
a breach of this Section by the disclosing person or (ii) becomes available to
the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Credit Parties.

For purposes of this Section, “Information” means all information received from
any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof relating to any Credit Party or any
Subsidiary thereof or their respective businesses, other than any such
information that is available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a
nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary
thereof, provided that, in the case of information received from a Credit Party
or any such Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information is clearly
identified at the time of delivery as confidential. Any Person required to
maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be
considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has
exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such
Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

 

112

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

Each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that (a) the
Information may include material non-public information concerning the Credit
Parties, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of
material non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public
information in accordance with applicable Law, including United States Federal
and state securities Laws.

10.08. Set-off.

Subject to the provisions of Section 10.22, if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, each Lender and each of their respective Affiliates
is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general
or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any
time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such
Lender or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Credit
Parties against any and all of the obligations of the Credit Parties now or
hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Credit Document to such
Lender, irrespective of whether or not such Lender shall have made any demand
under this Credit Agreement or any other Credit Document and although such
obligations of the Credit Parties may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to
a branch or office of such Lender different from the branch or office holding
such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness. The rights of each Lender and
their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights
and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender or their
respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender agrees to notify the Parent Borrower
and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application,
provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such setoff and application. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 10.08, if at any time any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates
maintains one or more deposit accounts for the Borrowers or any other Credit
Party into which Medicare and/or Medicaid receivables are deposited, such Person
shall waive the right of setoff set forth herein.

10.09. Interest Rate Limitation.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Credit Document, the
interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Credit Documents shall not exceed
the maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the
“Maximum Rate”). If the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive
interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum Rate, the excess interest shall
be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such unpaid
principal, refunded to the Borrowers. In determining whether the interest
contracted for, charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender
exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person may, to the extent permitted by applicable
Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or
premium rather than interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects
thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal
parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the
Obligations hereunder.

 

113

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

10.10. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness.

This Credit Agreement may be executed in counterparts (and by different parties
hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall constitute an original,
but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract. This
Credit Agreement and the other Credit Documents constitute the entire contract
among the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and
all previous agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the
subject matter hereof. Except as provided in Section 4.01, this Credit Agreement
shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Administrative
Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof
that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties
hereto. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Credit
Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging means shall be effective as
delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Credit Agreement.

10.11. Survival of Representations and Warranties.

All representations and warranties made hereunder and in any other Credit
Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or in connection
herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and
thereof. Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by
the Administrative Agent and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made
by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf and notwithstanding
that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice or knowledge of
any Default or Event of Default existing at the time of any Extension of Credit,
and shall continue in full force and effect as long as any Loan or any other
Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied or any Commitment shall
remain outstanding.

10.12. Severability.

If any provision of this Credit Agreement or the other Credit Documents is held
to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and
enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Credit Agreement and the
other Credit Documents shall not be affected or impaired thereby and (b) the
parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the illegal,
invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of
which comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable provisions. The invalidity of a provision in a particular
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.

10.13. Replacement of Lenders.

If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if any Borrower is
required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental
Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any
Lender can no longer make LIBOR Loans under Section 3.02 or if any Lender is a
Defaulting Lender or if permitted pursuant to Section 10.01 due to the existence
of a Non-Consenting Lender, or if any other circumstance exists hereunder that
gives the Borrowers the right to replace a Lender, then the Parent Borrower may,
at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender and the
Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and delegate, without
recourse (in accordance with and subject to the

 

114

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

restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 10.06), all of its
interests, rights and obligations under this Credit Agreement and the related
Credit Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which
assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided
that:

(a) the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee
specified in Section 10.06(b);

(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and
all other amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Credit Documents
(including any amounts under Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of
such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the Borrowers (in
the case of all other amounts);

(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation
under Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01,
such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments
thereafter; and

(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.

A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if,
prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the
circumstances entitling the Parent Borrower to require such assignment and
delegation cease to apply.

10.14. No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility.

In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the
Credit Parties each acknowledge and agree, and acknowledge their respective
Affiliates’ understanding, that: (a) the credit facility provided for hereunder
and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including
in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any
other Credit Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the
Credit Parties and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arranger, on the other hand, and each
Credit Party is capable of evaluating and understanding and understands and
accepts the terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby
and by the other Credit Documents (including any amendment, waiver or other
modification hereof or thereof); (b) in connection with the process leading to
such transaction, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arranger are and
have been acting solely as principals and no such Person is the financial
advisor, agent or fiduciary, for the Credit Parties or any of their respective
Affiliates, stockholders, creditors or employees or any other Person;
(c) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender nor the Arranger has assumed
or will assume an advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the
Credit Parties with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or by
the other Credit Documents or the process leading thereto, including with
respect to any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other
Credit Document (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or
the Arranger has advised or is currently advising the Credit Parties or any of
their respective Affiliates on other matters) and neither the Administrative
Agent nor any Lender nor the Arranger has any obligation to the Credit Parties
or any of their

 

115

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

respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby
except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Credit
Documents; (d) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arranger and their
respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that
involve interests that differ from those of the Credit Parties and their
respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender nor
the Arranger has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of
any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship; and (e) neither the
Administrative Agent nor any Lender nor the Arranger has provided and will not
provide any legal, accounting, regulatory or tax advice with respect to any of
the transactions contemplated hereby (including any amendment, waiver or other
modification hereof or of any other Credit Document) and each Credit Party has
consulted its own legal, accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent
it has deemed appropriate. Each Credit Party hereby waives and releases, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, any claims that it may have against the
Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the Arranger, or any of them, with respect
to any breach or alleged breach of agency or fiduciary duty in connection with
any aspect of any of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other Credit
Documents or the process leading thereto, including with respect to any
amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Credit Document.

10.15. Source of Funds.

Each of the Lenders hereby represents and warrants to the Borrowers that, as to
the source of funds to be used by such Lender in connection with the financing
hereunder, no part of such funds constitutes assets of any “employee benefit
plan” as defined in ERISA (or its related trust) or any “plan” as defined in
Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code.

10.16. GOVERNING LAW.

(a) UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED THEREIN TO THE CONTRARY, THIS AGREEMENT AND THE
CREDIT DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES THEREUNDER SHALL
IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,

THE STATE WHERE THE PROPERTY IS LOCATED, WHICH PROVISIONS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE WHERE THE PROPERTY IS
LOCATED AND APPLICABLE UNITED STATES FEDERAL LAW.

(b) ANY LEGAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER
CREDIT DOCUMENT MAY BE BROUGHT IN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS SITTING IN

THE GROUNDS OF FORUM NON CONVENIENS, WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE
BRINGING OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN SUCH JURISDICTION IN RESPECT OF ANY

COMPLAINT OR OTHER PROCESS, WHICH MAY BE MADE BY ANY OTHER MEANS PERMITTED BY
THE LAW OF SUCH STATE.

10.17. WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

ARTICLE XI

GUARANTY

11.01. The Guaranty.

Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to each Lender
and the Administrative Agent as hereinafter provided, as primary obligor and not
as surety, the prompt payment of the Obligations in full when due (whether at
stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash
collateralization or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the terms thereof.
The Guarantors hereby further agree that if any of the

 

118

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

Obligations are not paid in full when due (whether at stated maturity, as a
mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or
otherwise), the Guarantors will, jointly and severally, promptly pay the same,
without any demand or notice whatsoever, and that in the case of any extension
of time of payment or renewal of any of the Obligations, the same will be
promptly paid in full when due (whether at extended maturity, as a mandatory
prepayment, by acceleration, as a mandatory cash collateralization or otherwise)
in accordance with the terms of such extension or renewal.

Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any other
of the Credit Documents or Swap Contracts, if any Guarantor is deemed to have
been rendered insolvent as a result of its guarantee obligations under this
Section 11.01 and not to have received reasonable equivalent value in exchange
therefor, then, in such an event, the liability of such Guarantor under this
Section 11.01 shall be limited to the maximum amount of the Obligations of the
Borrowers that such Guarantor may guaranty without rendering the obligations of
such Guarantor under this Section 11.01 void or voidable under any fraudulent
conveyance or fraudulent transfer law.

11.02. Obligations Unconditional.

The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 11.01 are joint and several,
absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity,
regularity or enforceability of any of the Credit Documents or Swap Contracts,
or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, or any substitution,
release, impairment or exchange of any other guarantee of or security for any of
the Obligations, and, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law,
irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor,
it being the intent of this Section 11.02 that the obligations of the Guarantors
hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances.
Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of subrogation,
indemnity, reimbursement or contribution against the Borrowers or any other
Guarantor for amounts paid under this Article XI until such time as the
Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments have expired or
terminated. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it is agreed that,
to the fullest extent permitted by law, the occurrence of any one or more of the
following shall not alter or impair the liability of the Guarantor hereunder,
which shall remain absolute and unconditional as described above:

(a) at any time or from time to time, without notice to the Guarantor, the time
for any performance of or compliance with any of the Obligations shall be
extended, or such performance or compliance shall be waived;

(b) any of the acts mentioned in any of the provisions of any of the Credit
Documents or any Swap Contract between any Credit Party and any Lender, or any
Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the
Credit Documents or such Swap Contracts shall be done or omitted;

 

119

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

(c) the maturity of any of the Obligations shall be accelerated, or any of the
Obligations shall be modified, supplemented, waived or amended in any respect,
or any right under any of the Credit Documents or any Swap Contract between any
Credit Party and any Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other
agreement or instrument referred to in the Credit Documents or any Swap Contract
shall be waived or any other guarantee of any of the Obligations or any security
therefor shall be released, impaired or exchanged in whole or in part or
otherwise dealt with;

(d) any Lien granted to, or in favor of, the Administrative Agent or any Lender
or Lenders as security for any of the Obligations shall fail to attach or be
perfected, or shall be released in accordance with the terms of this Agreement;

(e) any of the Obligations shall be determined to be void or voidable
(including, without limitation, for the benefit of any creditor of the
Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including,
without limitation, any creditor of the Guarantor); or

(f) any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal
or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor.

With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly
waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, protest and all notices
whatsoever, and any requirement that the Administrative Agent or any Lender
exhaust any right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of
the Credit Documents or any Swap Contract between any Credit Party and any
Lender, or any Affiliate of a Lender, or any other agreement or instrument
referred to in the Credit Documents or any Swap Contract or against any other
Person under any other guarantee of, or security for, any of the Obligations.

11.03. Reinstatement.

The obligations of the Guarantors under this Article XI shall be automatically
reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf
of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise
restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any
proceedings in bankruptcy or reorganization or otherwise, and each Guarantor
agrees that it will indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender on demand
for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, the fees,
charges and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or
such Lender in connection with such rescission or restoration, including any
such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that
such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment
under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

11.04. Certain Additional Waivers.

Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of recourse to
security for the Obligations, except through the exercise of rights of
subrogation pursuant to Section 11.02 and through the exercise of rights of
contribution pursuant to Section 11.06.

11.05. Remedies.

The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, as between
the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders,
on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and
payable as provided in Section 8.02

 

120

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

(and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable in the
circumstances provided in said Section 8.02) for purposes of Section 11.01
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
declaration (or preventing the Obligations from becoming automatically due and
payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration
(or the Obligations being deemed to have become automatically due and payable),
the Obligations (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall
forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for purposes of
Section 11.01. The Guarantors acknowledge and agree that their obligations
hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents
and that the Lenders may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with
the terms thereof.

11.06. Rights of Contribution.

The Guarantors agree among themselves that, in connection with payments made
hereunder, each Guarantor shall have contribution rights against the other
Guarantors as permitted under applicable Law. Such contribution rights shall be
