phrase “without limitation.” The word “will” shall be construed to have the same
meaning and effect as the word “shall.” The word “or” is not exclusive. Unless

supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such

where appropriate), applied on a consistent basis and, except as expressly
provided herein, in a manner consistent with that used in preparing audited

meaning given to such terms (and defined terms) under GAAP as in effect on the

financial statements referred to in Section 5.1.20.  In the event of any change
after the date hereof in GAAP, and if such change would affect the computation
of any of the financial covenants set forth in Section 7.2.4, then the parties
hereto agree to endeavor, in good faith, to agree upon an amendment to this
Agreement that would adjust such financial covenants in a manner that would
preserve the original intent thereof, but would allow compliance therewith to be
determined in accordance with CatchMark Timber’s financial statements at that
time; provided that until so amended such financial covenants shall continue to
be computed in accordance with GAAP prior to such change therein. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, for purposes of determining compliance with any
covenant (including the computation of any financial covenant) contained herein,
Indebtedness of any Loan Party and any Subsidiary of any Loan Party shall be
deemed to be carried at 100% of the outstanding principal amount thereof, and
the effects of FASB ASC 825 and FASB ASC 470-20 on financial liabilities shall
be disregarded.

SECTION 2.5    Rounding. Any financial ratios required to be maintained pursuant
to this 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 or percentage is expressed herein and rounding the
result up or down to the nearest number (with a rounding-up if there is no
nearest number).

SECTION 2.6    Letter of Credit Amounts. Unless otherwise specified, all
references herein to the amount of a Letter of Credit at any time shall be
deemed to mean the maximum face amount of such Letter of Credit after giving
effect to all increases thereof contemplated by such Letter of Credit or in the
written request or application for such Letter of Credit or agreement regarding
such the Letter of Credit (at the time specified therefor in such applicable
Letter of Credit or such request, application or agreement and as such amount
may be reduced by (a) any permanent reduction of such Letter of Credit or (b)
any amount which is drawn, reimbursed and no longer available under such Letter
of Credit).

in the case of a borrowing in the amount of the entire remaining Term Loan A-4
Commitment), and (y) LIBOR Loans shall be made in a minimum amount of $1,000,000
and an integral multiple of $500,000 (other than in the case of a borrowing in
the amount of the entire remaining Term Loan A-4 Commitment).
(b)    Incremental Term Loans. The Borrower and any one or more Lenders
(including any Person not previously a Lender hereunder who executes and
delivers a joinder agreement executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
and such Lender, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to each of them),
which Lenders are reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent (each such
Lender, an “Incremental Term Loan Lender”), may agree, upon at least thirty (30)
days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent (or such shorter period of time
as the Administrative Agent may agree to in its sole discretion), that such
Incremental Term Loan Lenders shall make one or more additional term loan credit
facilities available to the Borrower under this Section 2.1.1(b) (each an
“Incremental Term Loan Facility” and collectively, the “Incremental Term Loan
Facilities”; each commitment thereunder an “Incremental Term Loan Commitment”
and collectively, the “Incremental Term Loan Commitments”; and the loans
thereunder, each an “Incremental Term Loan” and collectively, the “Incremental
Term Loans”) on substantially the same terms and subject to substantially the
same conditions as the Term Loans. Any Incremental Term Loan or Incremental Term
Loan Commitment shall be documented by an amendment or supplement to, or a
restatement of, this Agreement, setting forth the specific terms and conditions
of the Incremental Term Loan Facility, which amendment, supplement or
restatement shall be signed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the
Incremental Term Loan Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loan Commitments.
Notwithstanding the foregoing: (i) the aggregate principal amount of all
Incremental Term Loan Commitments shall not exceed the Maximum Incremental

after giving Pro Forma Effect to any Incremental Term Loan; (v) the proceeds of
any Incremental Term Loan shall be used solely for the purposes described in
Section 4.10; (vi) to the extent Section 4.10 permits any proceeds of any
Incremental Term Loan to be used to acquire any additional Real Property, each
of the conditions set forth in Sections 5.2.1, 5.2.2, and 5.3 shall be fulfilled
to the satisfaction of the Administrative Agent; (vii) the weighted average life
of any Incremental Term Loan shall be equal to or greater than the remaining
weighted average life of the Term A-1 Loans, determined as of the initial
funding date for such Incremental Term Loan; (viii) to the extent that the
applicable interest rate margin on any Incremental Term Loan exceeds by more
than 0.25% the applicable interest rate margin for the Term A-3 Loans,
determined as of the initial funding date for such Incremental Term Loan, (A)
the applicable interest rate margin for the Term A-3 Loans shall be increased so
that the applicable interest rate margin for such Incremental Term Loan does not
exceed the applicable interest rate margin for the Term A-3 Loans by more than
0.25% and (B) the applicable interest rate margin for each of the other credit
facilities existing on such date shall be increased by the same amount of basis
points as the Term A-3 Loans are so increased, if any; (ix) any covenant or
Event of Default applicable to any Incremental Term Loan that is more
restrictive than the equivalent covenant or Event of Default set forth in this
Agreement shall be deemed to be applicable to all Loans hereunder; (x) the

shall have requested in its sole discretion pursuant to such Incremental Term
Loans.
(c)    Revolving Loan Facility.
(A)    Revolving Loan Commitment. On the terms and subject to the conditions of
this Agreement (including Article V), from time to time on any Business Day
occurring on or after the Effective Date and prior to the Revolving Loan
Commitment Termination Date (the “Revolving Availability Period”), each
Revolving Lender severally agrees to make loans (relative to such Revolving
Lender, its “Revolving Loans”) to the Borrower equal to such Revolving Lender’s
Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Borrowing of the Revolving Loans
requested by the Borrower to be made on such day. The commitment of each
Revolving Lender described in this clause (c)(i) is herein referred to as its
“Revolving Loan Commitment.” On the terms and subject to the conditions hereof,
the Borrower may from time to time borrow, prepay and reborrow Revolving Loans.
(B)    Revolver Increase.
(A)    Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in the definition
of Revolver Increase and effective as of the date specified in writing by the
Administrative Agent, the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount may be increased in
the aggregate by the lesser of (1) $15,000,000 and (2) the Maximum Incremental
Amount. The Administrative Agent shall select and reasonably approve one or more
Lenders (including any Person not previously a Lender hereunder who executes and
delivers a joinder agreement executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
and such Lender, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to each of them) to
participate in any Revolver Increase. Lenders shall have no obligation and no
right to participate in any Revolver Increase.
(B)    The Borrower shall in coordination with the Administrative Agent repay
outstanding Revolving Loans of certain Revolving Lenders and obtain additional
Revolving Loans from other Revolving Lenders, in each case, to the extent
necessary so that all Revolving Lenders participate in outstanding Revolving
Loans ratably, on the basis of their respective Revolving Loan Commitment
Amounts, after giving effect to the increase in the aggregate Revolving Loan
Commitment Amounts effected by implementation of the Revolver Increase. The
Lender Parties hereby agree that the borrowing notice, minimum borrowing, pro
rata borrowing, and pro rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this
Agreement shall not apply to the transactions effected pursuant to this clause
(B). Any repayments made pursuant to this clause (B) shall be accompanied by
payment of all accrued interest on the amount prepaid and all amounts owed
pursuant to Sections 4.4 and 11.3.
(C)    Each Revolving Lender participating in the Revolver Increase (1) will be
deemed to have purchased a participation in each then outstanding Letter of
Credit (Revolver) equal to its Percentage of such Letter of Credit (Revolver)
and the participation of each other Revolving Lender in such Letter of Credit
(Revolver) shall be adjusted accordingly, (2) will acquire (and will pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of each other Revolving Lender, in
immediately available funds, an amount equal to) its Percentage of all
outstanding unreimbursed payments by any Issuing Lender under any Letter of
Credit (Revolver) and accrued interest thereon as described in Section
2.1.2(a)(iii), and (3) will be deemed to have purchased a participation in each
then outstanding Swingline Loan equal to its Percentage of such Swingline Loan
and the participation of each other Revolving Lender in such Swingline Loan
shall be adjusted accordingly.
(C)    Revolving Loan Availability. No Borrowing of Revolving Loans shall be
made if, after giving effect thereto, (A) the Available Revolving Facility
Commitment would be less than zero, or (B) the Available Revolving Lender
Commitment of any Revolving Lender would be less than zero.
(D)    Borrowing Procedures. By delivering a duly completed and executed
Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent by facsimile, email or other
method of delivery permitted by Section 11.2 on or before 11:00 A.M. (New York
City time), on a Business Day occurring prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment
Termination Date, the Borrower may from time to time irrevocably request that
(A) a Base Rate Loan be made not less than one (1) nor more than five (5)
Business Days thereafter or that (B) a LIBOR Loan be made not less than three
(3) nor more than five (5) Business Days thereafter; provided, however, that no
Revolving Loan shall be made as a LIBOR Loan for an Interest Period extending
beyond the Stated Maturity Date. All (x) Base Rate Loans shall be made in a
minimum amount of $500,000 and an integral multiple of $100,000 or, if less, in
the amount of the Available Revolving Facility Commitment, and (y) LIBOR Loans
shall be made in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and an integral multiple of
$500,000. The proceeds of all Loans shall be used solely for the purposes
described in Section 4.10.
(d)    [Reserved].
(e)    Swingline Facility.
(A)    Swingline Loan Commitment. On the terms and subject to the conditions of
this Agreement (including Article V), during the Revolving Availability Period,
the Swingline Lender agrees, in reliance upon the agreements of the other
Revolving Lenders set forth herein, to make Swingline Loans to the Borrower in
an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the Swingline Loan Commitment;
provided, however, unless the Borrower has complied with Section 4.13, if at any
time any Revolving Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the making of Swingline Loans
shall be at the sole discretion of the Swingline Lender. On the terms and
subject to the conditions hereof, the Borrower may from time to time borrow,
prepay and reborrow Swingline Loans. Each Swingline Loan shall reduce the
Available Revolving Facility Commitment and the Available Revolving Lender
Commitment by the outstanding principal amount of such Swingline Loan.
(B)    Swingline Loan Availability. No Borrowing of Swingline Loans shall be
made if, after giving effect thereto, (A) the Available Revolving Facility
Commitment would be less than zero, (B) aggregate principal balance of the
Swingline Loans exceeds the Swingline Loan Commitment, or (C) the Available
Revolving Lender Commitment of any Revolving Lender would be less than zero. If
at any time the aggregate principal balance of the Swingline Loans then
outstanding exceeds the Swingline Loan Commitment, the Borrower shall be deemed
to have requested a Revolving Loan Borrowing in the amount of the difference in
the manner and pursuant to the terms of Section 2.1.1(e)(iii).
(C)    Swingline Loan Reimbursement; Etc. Any outstanding Swingline Loan shall
be payable by the Borrower on demand by Swingline Lender, a copy of which demand
also shall be delivered by Swingline Lender to the Administrative Agent. If the
Borrower fails to so reimburse the Swingline Lender on demand, without limiting
Swingline Lender’s remedies with respect to the Borrower in the case of any
Revolving Lender’s failure to advance under this Section 2.1.1(e)(iii), the
Borrower shall be deemed to have requested the Administrative Agent to make a
Revolving Loan in the aggregate amount of the then outstanding Swingline Loans.
Each Revolving Lender agrees to fund its Percentage of any Revolving Loan made
pursuant to this Section 2.2.1(e)(iii). The Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Revolving Lender of the amount of such payment due and each such
Revolving Lender, on the next Business Day, shall deliver to the Administrative
Agent an amount equal to its Percentage thereof in same day funds. Each
Revolving Lender hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to
Swingline Lender such Revolving Lender’s Percentage of each such payment due. In
addition to the foregoing, if for any reason any Revolving Lender fails to make
payment to Swingline Lender of any amount due under this Section 2.1.1(e)(iii),
such Revolving Lender shall be deemed, at the option of Swingline Lender, to
have unconditionally and irrevocably purchased from Swingline Lender, without
recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the applicable
Swingline Loan in the amount of such Revolving Loan, and such interest and
participation may be recovered from such Revolving Lender together with interest
thereon at the Base Rate for each day during the period commencing on the date
of demand and ending on the date such amount is received. Each Revolving Lender
acknowledges and agrees that its obligations to fund Revolving Loans and/or to
acquire participations pursuant to this Section 2.1.1(e)(iii) in respect of
Swingline Loans are absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default
or an Event of Default or any failure by the Borrower to satisfy any of the
conditions set forth in Section 5.3. If any Revolving Lender fails to make
available to Swingline Lender the amount of such Lender’s Percentage of any
payments due as provided in this Section 2.1.1(e)(iii), the Administrative Agent
may elect to apply Cash Collateral as described in Section 4.13 by such amount
and pay such amount to Swingline Lender. If the Administrative Agent does not so
elect or if the funds in such accounts are insufficient, Swingline Lender shall
be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender together with
interest at the Base Rate. On the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, if
not sooner demanded, the Borrower shall repay in full the outstanding principal
amount of the Swingline Loans.
(D)    Swingline Loan Interest; Payments. All Swingline Loans shall accrue
interest from the date made as a Base Rate Loan, at the sum of the Base Rate
plus the Applicable Margin, applicable from time to time as provided in Section
3.2. Until each Revolving Lender funds its Percentage of its Revolving Loan or
purchase of a participation pursuant to Section 2.1.1(e)(iii), interest in
respect of the Swingline Loans, of the applicable portions thereof, shall be
solely for the account of Swingline Lender. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, the
Borrower shall make all payments of principal and interest in respect of
Swingline Loans directly to the Swingline Lender by such method and to such
account or place as the Swingline Lender may from time to time designate in
writing and the Swingline Lender shall make the funds of the Swingline Loans
directly available to the Borrower by such method and to such account or place
as the Borrower may from time to time designate in writing. To the extent that
the Swingline Lender is not the Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender shall
promptly provide to the Administrative Agent such information as it shall
reasonably request with respect to the Swingline Loans.
(E)    Borrowing Procedures. By delivering a duly completed and executed
Borrowing Request to the Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent by
facsimile, email or other method of delivery permitted by Section 11.2 on or
before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time), on a Business Day occurring prior to the
Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower may from time to time
irrevocably request that a Base Rate Loan be made on such Business Day. All
Swingline Loans shall be made in a minimum amount of $250,000 and an integral
multiple of $100,000 or, if less, in the unused amount of the Swingline Loan
Commitment. The proceeds of all Swingline Loans shall be used solely for the
purposes described in Section 4.10 for Revolving Loans; provided that, no
Swingline Loan shall be used to refinance any outstanding Swingline Loan.
(F)    Cash Management. The Borrower and the Swingline Lender may enter into a
cash management agreement (including the CoBank Cash Management Agreement)
providing for the automatic advance by the Swingline Lender of Swingline Loans
under the conditions set forth in such agreement, which conditions shall be in
addition to the conditions set forth herein except as to timing of and minimum
and multiple amounts of Swingline Loans as provided in the first two sentences
of Section 2.1.1(e)(v), and which shall be in form and substance reasonably
acceptable to the Administrative Agent.
(f)    Multi-Draw Term Loan Facility.
(i)    On the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement (including
Article V), from time to time on any Business Day occurring on or after the
Effective Date and prior to the Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitment Termination Date
(the “Multi-Draw Term Loan Availability Period”), each Multi-Draw Term Loan
Lender severally agrees to make loans (relative to such Multi-Draw Term Loan
Lender, its “Multi-Draw Term Loans”) to the Borrower equal to such Multi-Draw
Term Loan Lender’s Percentage of the aggregate amount of the Borrowing of the
Multi-Draw Term Loans requested by the Borrower to be made on such day. The
commitment of each Multi-Draw Term Loan Lender described in this clause (f)(i)
is herein referred to as its “Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitment.” During the
Multi-Draw Term Loan Availability Period and on the terms and subject to the
conditions hereof, the Borrower may from time to time borrow, prepay and
reborrow Multi-Draw Term Loans.
(ii)    Multi-Draw Term Loan Availability. No Borrowing of Multi-Draw Term Loans
shall be made if, after giving effect thereto, (A) the Available MDT Facility
Commitment would be less than zero, or (B) the Available MDT Lender Commitment
of any Multi-Draw Term Loan Lender would be less than zero.
(iii)    Borrowing Procedures. By delivering a duly completed and executed
Borrowing Request to the Administrative Agent by facsimile, email or other
method of delivery permitted by Section 11.2 on or before 11:00 A.M. (New York
City time), on a Business Day occurring prior to the Multi-Draw Term Loan
Commitment Termination Date, the Borrower may from time to time irrevocably
request that (A) a Base Rate Loan be made not less than one (1) nor more than
five (5) Business Days thereafter or that (B) a LIBOR Loan be made not less than
three (3) (or such later date as the Administrative Agent may agree to in its
sole discretion with respect to any such request solely as to such request) nor
more than five (5) Business Days thereafter; provided, however, a LIBOR Loan to
be made on the Effective Date may be irrevocably requested not less than one (1)
Business Day prior to the Effective Date; provided further, that no Multi-Draw
Term Loan shall be made as a LIBOR Loan for an Interest Period extending beyond
the Stated Maturity Date. All (x) Base Rate Loans shall be made in a minimum
amount of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $100,000 or, if less, in the
unused amount of the Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitment Amount, and (y) LIBOR Loans
shall be made in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of
$500,000. The proceeds of all Loans shall be used solely for the purposes
described in Section 4.10.
(iv)    Multi-Draw Term Loan Increase.
(A)    Upon satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in the definition
of Multi-Draw Term Loan Increase and effective as of the date specified in
writing by the Administrative Agent, the Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitment Amount
may be increased in the aggregate by the Maximum Incremental Amount. The
Administrative Agent shall select and reasonably approve one or more Lenders
(including any Person not previously a Lender hereunder who executes and
delivers a joinder agreement executed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
and such Lender, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to each of them) to
participate in any Multi-Draw Term Loan Increase. Lenders shall have no
obligation and no right to participate in any Multi-Draw Term Loan Increase.
(B)    The Borrower shall in coordination with the Administrative Agent repay
outstanding Multi-Draw Term Loans of certain Multi-Draw Term Loan Lenders and
obtain additional Multi-Draw Term Loans from other Multi-Draw Term Loan Lenders,
in each case, to the extent necessary so that all Multi-Draw Term Loan Lenders
participate in outstanding Multi-Draw Term Loans ratably, on the basis of their
respective Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitment Amounts, after giving effect to the
increase in the aggregate Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitment Amounts effected by
implementation of the Multi-Draw Term Loan Increase. The Lender Parties hereby
agree that the borrowing notice, minimum borrowing, pro rata borrowing, and pro
rata payment requirements contained elsewhere in this Agreement shall not apply
to the transactions effected pursuant to this clause (B). Any repayments made
pursuant to this clause (B) shall be accompanied by payment of all accrued
interest on the amount prepaid and all amounts owed pursuant to Sections 4.4 and
11.3.
(C)    Each Multi-Draw Term Loan Lender participating in the Multi-Draw Term
Loan Increase (1) will be deemed to have purchased a participation in each then
outstanding Letter of Credit (MDT) equal to its Percentage of such Letter of
Credit (MDT) and the participation of each other Multi-Draw Term Loan Lender in
such Letter of Credit (MDT) shall be adjusted accordingly, and (2) will acquire
(and will pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each other
Multi-Draw Term Loan Lender, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to)
its Percentage of all outstanding unreimbursed payments by any Issuing Lender
under any Letter of Credit (MDT) and accrued interest thereon as described in
Section 2.1.2(b)(iii).

SECTION 3.1.2    Letters of Credit.
(a)    Letter of Credit (Revolver) Facility.
(A)    Letters of Credit (Revolver). The Revolving Loan Commitments may, in
addition to advances as Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans, be utilized, upon
the request of the Borrower, for the issuance of irrevocable standby or trade
letters of credit in United States dollars (individually, a “Letter of Credit
(Revolver)” and, collectively, the “Letters of Credit (Revolver)”) by an Issuing
Lender (Revolver) for the account of any Loan Party or Shell Subsidiary (other
than a Permitted JV Investment Subsidiary and any Shell Subsidiary that is a
Subsidiary of a Permitted JV Investment Subsidiary). Immediately upon the
issuance by an Issuing Lender (Revolver) of a Letter of Credit (Revolver), and
without further action on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lenders,
each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased from such Issuing Lender a
participation in such Letter of Credit (Revolver) equal to such Lender’s
Percentage of the Revolving Loan Commitment of the aggregate amount available to
be drawn under such Letter of Credit (Revolver). Unless collateralized as
provided in Section 4.14, each Letter of Credit (Revolver) shall reduce the
amount available under the Revolving Loan Commitments by the Letter of Credit
Usage with respect to such Letter of Credit (Revolver).
(B)    Availability. No Letter of Credit shall be issued, renewed, extended or
increased if, after giving effect thereto, (A) the Available Revolving Facility
Commitment would be less than zero, (B) Aggregate Letter of Credit (Revolver)
Usage would exceed the Letter of Credit (Revolver) Sublimit, or (C) the
Available Revolving Lender Commitment of any Revolving Lender would be less than
zero. If at any time the Aggregate Letter of Credit (Revolver) Usage exceeds the
Letter of Credit (Revolver) Sublimit, the Borrower shall reduce the Aggregate
Letter of Credit (Revolver) Usage by providing collateral for the Letter of
Credit Liability corresponding to such excess Aggregate Letter of Credit
(Revolver) Usage in the manner set forth in Section 4.14 to the extent required
to eliminate such excess.
(C)    Reimbursement. The Borrower is irrevocably and unconditionally obligated
without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind to
reimburse each Issuing Lender (Revolver) in immediately available funds for any
amounts paid by such Issuing Lender (Revolver) with respect to any Letter of
Credit (Revolver) issued hereunder. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any
Letter of Credit (Revolver) of any notice of drawing under such Letter of Credit
(Revolver), the Issuing Lender (Revolver) shall notify the Borrower and
Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on
the date of any payment by any Issuing Lender (Revolver) under a Letter of
Credit (Revolver) (or if notice is not provided to the Borrower of such drawing
prior to such time, not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the
immediately succeeding Business Day), the Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing
Lender through the Administrative Agent in the amount equal to the amount of
such drawing (and, if reimbursed on the immediately succeeding Business Day
pursuant to this sentence, interest at the sum of the Base Rate plus the
Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans at Base Rate on such day (or days if the
next immediately succeeding day is not a Business Day)). If the Borrower fails
to so reimburse the applicable Issuing Lender by such time, the Borrower shall
be deemed to have requested a Revolving Loan (not a Swingline Loan) in the
amount of the payment made by such Issuing Lender with respect to such Letter of
Credit (Revolver). All amounts paid by an Issuing Lender (Revolver) with respect
to any Letter of Credit (Revolver) that are not repaid by the Borrower as
required by this Section 2.1.2(a)(iii), or that are not repaid with a Revolving
Loan shall bear interest at the sum of the Base Rate plus the highest Applicable
Margin for Revolving Loans at Base Rate plus 2%. Each Revolving Lender agrees to
fund its Percentage of any Revolving Loan made pursuant to this Section
2.1.2(a)(iii). In the event the Borrower fails to reimburse an Issuing Lender
(Revolver) in full for any payment in respect of a Letter of Credit (Revolver)
issued hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving
Lender of the amount of such unreimbursed payment and the accrued interest
thereon and each such Revolving Lender, on the next Business Day, shall deliver
to Administrative Agent an amount equal to its Percentage of the aggregate
Revolving Loan Commitments in same day funds. Each Revolving Lender hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender (Revolver)
upon demand by such Issuing Lender such Lender’s Percentage of each payment made
by such Issuing Lender in respect of a Letter of Credit (Revolver) and not
immediately reimbursed by the Borrower. Each Revolving Lender acknowledges and
agrees that its obligations to acquire participations pursuant to this Section
2.1.2(a)(iii) in respect of Letters of Credit (Revolver) and to make the
payments to each Issuing Lender (Revolver) required by the preceding sentence
are absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance
whatsoever, including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of
Default or any failure by the Borrower to satisfy any of the conditions set
forth in Section 5.3. If any Revolving Lender fails to make available to an
Issuing Lender (Revolver) the amount of such Lender’s Percentage of any payments
made by such Issuing Lender in respect of a Letter of Credit (Revolver) as
provided in this Section 2.1.2(a)(iii), the Administrative Agent may elect to
apply Cash Collateral as described in Section 4.13 and pay such amount to such
Issuing Lender. If the Administrative Agent does not so elect or if the funds in
such account are insufficient, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover
such amount on demand from such Revolving Lender together with interest at the
Base Rate.
(b)    Letters of Credit (MDT) Facility.
(A)    Letters of Credit (MDT). The Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitments may, in
addition to advances as Multi-Draw Term Loans, be utilized, upon the request of
the Borrower, for the issuance of irrevocable standby or trade letters of credit
in United States dollars (individually, a “Letter of Credit (MDT)” and,
collectively, the “Letters of Credit (MDT)”) by an Issuing Lender (MDT) for the
account of any Loan Party or Shell Subsidiary (including any Permitted JV
Investment Subsidiary). Immediately upon the issuance by an Issuing Lender (MDT)
of a Letter of Credit (MDT), and without further action on the part of the
Administrative Agent or any Lenders, each Lender shall be deemed to have
purchased from such Issuing Lender a participation in such Letter of Credit
(MDT) equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitment
of the aggregate amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (MDT).
Unless collateralized as provided in Section 4.14, each Letter of Credit (MDT)
shall reduce the amount available under the Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitments by
the Letter of Credit Usage with respect to such Letter of Credit (MDT).
(B)    Availability. No Letter of Credit (MDT) shall be issued, renewed,
extended or increased if, after giving effect thereto, (A) the Available MDT
Facility Commitment would be less than zero, (B) Aggregate Letter of Credit
(MDT) Usage would exceed the Letter of Credit (MDT) Sublimit, or (C) the
Available MDT Lender Commitment of any Multi-Draw Term Loan Lender would be less
than zero. If at any time the Aggregate Letter of Credit (MDT) Usage exceeds the
Letter of Credit (MDT) Sublimit, the Borrower shall reduce the Aggregate Letter
of Credit (MDT) Usage by providing collateral for the Letter of Credit Liability
corresponding to such excess Aggregate Letter of Credit (MDT) Usage in the
manner set forth in Section 4.14 to the extent required to eliminate such
excess.
(C)    Reimbursement. The Borrower is irrevocably and unconditionally obligated
without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind to
reimburse each Issuing Lender (MDT) in immediately available funds for any
amounts paid by such Issuing Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit (MDT)
issued hereunder. Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit
(MDT) of any notice of drawing under such Letter of Credit (MDT), the Issuing
Lender (MDT) shall notify the Borrower and Administrative Agent thereof. Not
later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the date of any payment by any
Issuing Lender (MDT) under a Letter of Credit (MDT) (or if notice is not
provided to the Borrower of such drawing prior to such time, not later than
11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the immediately succeeding Business Day), the
Borrower shall reimburse such Issuing Lender through the Administrative Agent in
the amount equal to the amount of such drawing (and, if reimbursed on the
immediately succeeding Business Day pursuant to this sentence, interest at the
sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Multi-Draw Term Loans at
Base Rate on such day (or days if the next immediately succeeding day is not a
Business Day)). If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the applicable Issuing
Lender (MDT) by such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a
Multi-Draw Term Loan in the amount of the payment made by such Issuing Lender
with respect to such Letter of Credit (MDT). All amounts paid by an Issuing
Lender (MDT) with respect to any Letter of Credit (MDT) that are not repaid by
the Borrower as required by this Section 2.1.2(b)(iii), or that are not repaid
with a Multi-Draw Term Loan shall bear interest at the sum of the Base Rate plus
the highest Applicable Margin for Multi-Draw Term Loans at Base Rate plus 2%.
Each Multi-Draw Term Loan Lender agrees to fund its Percentage of any Multi-Draw
Term Loan made pursuant to this Section 2.1.2(b)(iii). In the event the Borrower
fails to reimburse an Issuing Lender (MDT) in full for any payment in respect of
a Letter of Credit (MDT) issued hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall
promptly notify each Multi-Draw Term Loan Lender of the amount of such
unreimbursed payment and the accrued interest thereon and each such Multi-Draw
Term Loan Lender, on the next Business Day, shall deliver to Administrative
Agent an amount equal to its Percentage of the aggregate Multi-Draw Term Loan
Commitments in same day funds. Each Multi-Draw Term Loan Lender hereby
absolutely and unconditionally agrees to pay to each Issuing Lender (MDT) upon
demand by such Issuing Lender such Lender’s Percentage of each payment made by
such Issuing Lender in respect of a Letter of Credit (MDT) and not immediately
reimbursed by the Borrower. Each Multi-Draw Term Loan Lender acknowledges and
agrees that its obligations to acquire participations pursuant to this Section
2.1.2(b)(iii) in respect of Letters of Credit (MDT) and to make the payments to
each Issuing Lender (MDT) required by the preceding sentence are absolute and
unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever,
including the occurrence and continuance of a Default or an Event of Default or
any failure by the Borrower to satisfy any of the conditions set forth in

Issuing Lender (MDT) the amount of such Lender’s Percentage of any payments made
by such Issuing Lender in respect of a Letter of Credit (MDT) as provided in
this Section 2.1.2(b)(iii), the Administrative Agent may elect to apply Cash
Collateral as described in Section 4.13 and pay such amount to such Issuing
Lender. If the Administrative Agent does not so elect or if the funds in such
account are insufficient, such Issuing Lender shall be entitled to recover such
amount on demand from such Multi-Draw Term Loan Lender together with interest at
the Base Rate.
(c)    Letters of Credit Facilities Generally.
(A)    Conditions of Issuance of Letters of Credit. In addition to all other
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the issuance by an Issuing
Lender of any Letter of Credit shall be subject to the conditions precedent that
the Letter of Credit shall be in such form, be for such amount, and contain such
terms and conditions as are reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent
and such Issuing Lender. The expiration date of each Letter of Credit must be on
a date which is the earlier of (A) (1) for a standby Letter of Credit, one (1)
calendar year from its date of issuance, but may, by its terms, be automatically
renewable annually unless such Issuing Lender has notified the Borrower on or
prior to the date for notice of terminations set forth in such Letter of Credit
but in any event at least thirty (30) days prior to the date of automatic
renewal of its election not to renew such Letter of Credit and (2) for a trade
Letter of Credit, 180 days for its date of issuance, and (B) the 30th day before

Term Loan Commitments, as applicable, or such later date as agreed to by both
the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender, in their sole
discretion.
(B)    Request for Letters of Credit. The Borrower must give the Administrative
Agent at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice (or such shorter period of

date a Letter of Credit is requested to be issued and the requested amount,
identifying the beneficiary, stating whether the Letter of Credit will be a
standby or trade Letter of Credit, stating whether the Letter of Credit will be
a Letter of Credit (Revolver) or a Letter of Credit (MDT), and describing the
nature of the transactions proposed to be supported thereby. Any notice
requesting the issuance of a Letter of Credit shall be accompanied by the form
of the Letter of Credit to be provided by the applicable Issuing Lender. The
Borrower must also complete any application procedures and documents required by
an Issuing Lender in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit,
including a certificate regarding Borrower’s compliance with the provisions of
Section 5.3 of this Agreement.
(C)    Borrower Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Borrower under this
Section 2.1.2 are irrevocable, will remain in full force and effect until the
Issuing Lenders and Lenders have no further obligations to make any payments or
disbursements under any circumstances with respect to any Letter of Credit,
shall be absolute and unconditional, shall not be subject to counterclaim,
setoff or other defense or any other qualification or exception whatsoever and
shall be paid in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement
under all circumstances, including, any of the following circumstances, except
where caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Issuing
Lender as determined pursuant to a final non-appealable order of a court of
competent jurisdiction:
(A)    Any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any of the
other Loan Documents or any documents or instruments relating to any Letter of
Credit;
(B)    Any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other
term of, all or any of the obligations in respect of any Letter of Credit or any
other amendment, modification or waiver of or any consent to or departure from
any Letter of Credit, any documents or instruments relating thereto, or any Loan
Document in each case whether or not any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any
Loan Party or any other Person has notice or knowledge thereof;
(C)    The existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right that any Loan
Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party or any other Person may have at any
time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit, any transferee of any
Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the
Administrative Agent, any Issuing Lender, any Lender, or any other Person,
whether in connection with this Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Letter
of Credit, the transactions contemplated hereby or any other related or
unrelated transaction or transactions (including any underlying transaction
between any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party and the beneficiary
named in any such Letter of Credit);
(D)    Any draft, certificate or any other document presented under any Letter
of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any
respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect, any
errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any
messages, by mail, facsimile or otherwise, or any errors in translation or in
interpretation of technical terms;
(E)    Payment under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a demand,
draft or certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of
such Letter of Credit;
(F)    Any defense based upon the failure of any drawing under any Letter of
Credit to conform to the terms of such Letter of Credit (provided, that any
draft, certificate or other document presented pursuant to such Letter of Credit
appears on its face to comply with the terms thereof), any non-application or
misapplication by the beneficiary or any transferee of the proceeds of such
drawing or any other act or omission of such beneficiary or transferee in
connection with such Letter of Credit;
(G)    The exchange, release, surrender or impairment of any collateral or other
security for the obligations;
(H)    The occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; or
(I)    Any other circumstance or event whatsoever, including, any other
circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, any Loan Party, any Subsidiary of any Loan Party or any guarantor
or other surety.
Any action taken or omitted to be taken by an Issuing Lender under or in
connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of
gross negligence or willful misconduct, is binding upon the Loan Parties and
their Subsidiaries and shall not create or result in any liability of such
Issuing Lender to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party or any
other Person.
(D)    Obligations of Issuing Lenders. Each Issuing Lender (other than the
Administrative Agent) hereby agrees that it will not issue a Letter of Credit
hereunder until it has provided the Administrative Agent with notice specifying
the amount and intended issuance date of such Letter of Credit and the
Administrative Agent has returned a written acknowledgment of such notice to
such Issuing Lender. Each of the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent
agrees to provide such notices and acknowledgement promptly upon the Borrower’s
request for a Letter of Credit provided such request satisfies all of the
requirements provided herein. Each Issuing Lender (other than the Administrative
Agent) further agrees to provide to the Administrative Agent: (A) a copy of each
Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender promptly after its issuance; (B)
a monthly report summarizing available amounts under Letters of Credit issued by
such Issuing Lender, the dates and amounts of any draws under such Letters of
Credit, the effective date of any increase or decrease in the face amount of any
Letters of Credit during such month and the amount of any unreimbursed draws
under such Letters of Credit; and (C) such additional information reasonably
requested by the Administrative Agent from time to time with respect to the
Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Lender.
(E)    UCP and ISP. The Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits as
most recently published from time to time by the International Chamber of
Commerce (the “UCP”) is hereby incorporated in this Agreement with respect to
trade Letters of Credit and shall be deemed incorporated by this reference into
each trade Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement. The terms and
conditions of the UCP shall be binding with respect to trade Letters of Credit
on the parties to this Agreement and each beneficiary of any trade Letter of
Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement. The International Standby Practices as
most recently published from time to time by the International Chamber of
Commerce (the “ISP”) is hereby incorporated in this Agreement with respect to
standby Letters of Credit and shall be deemed incorporated by this reference
into each standby Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement. The terms
and conditions of the ISP shall be binding with respect to standby Letters of
Credit on the parties to this Agreement and each beneficiary of any standby
Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above,
upon the request of the Borrower, in the sole discretion of the Administrative
Agent and the applicable Issuing Lender, a standby Letter of Credit may
expressly incorporate the UCP and the UCP is hereby incorporated in this
Agreement with respect to such standby Letters of Credit. Furthermore, the terms
and conditions of the UCP shall be binding with respect to such standby Letters
of Credit on the parties to this Agreement and each beneficiary of such standby
Letter of Credit issued pursuant to this Agreement.
(F)    Illegality. If, at any time, it becomes unlawful for an Issuing Lender to
comply with any of its obligations under any Letter of Credit (including as a
result of any Sanctions), the obligations of such Issuing Lender with respect to
such Letter of Credit shall be suspended (and all corresponding rights shall
cease to accrue) until such time as it may again become lawful for such Issuing
Lender to comply with its obligations under such Letter of Credit, and such
Issuing Lender shall not be liable for any losses that any Loan Party, any
Subsidiary of any Loan Party or any other Person may incur as a result of such
suspension.

SECTION 3.1.3    Disbursement of Funds under the Loans. The Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each applicable Lender of its receipt of a Borrowing
Request, the amount required to be funded by each such Lender and when such
amount must be funded. On the terms and subject to the conditions of this
Agreement, each Borrowing shall be made on the Business Day specified in such
Borrowing Request. On or before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on such Business
Day each Lender shall deposit with the Administrative Agent same day funds in an
amount equal to such Lender’s Percentage of the requested Borrowing. Such
deposit will be made to an account which the Administrative Agent shall specify
from time to time by notice to the Lenders. To the extent funds are received
from the Lenders, the Administrative Agent shall make such funds available to
the Borrower by wire transfer to the accounts the Borrower shall have specified
in its Borrowing Request. No Lender’s obligation to make any Loan shall be
affected by any other Lender’s failure to make any Loan. Nothing in this Section
2.1.3 or elsewhere in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed
to require the Administrative Agent (or any other Lender) to advance funds on
behalf of any Lender or to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its
Commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Administrative Agent
or the Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any default by such
Lender hereunder.

SECTION 3.2    Notes; Updated Schedule II.
(a)    The Borrower hereby unconditionally promises to pay, to the order of each
of the Lenders, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the Swingline
Lenders, as applicable, the Loans and other Obligations as provided in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Upon the request of any applicable
Lender, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a separate Note
for each applicable Term Loan, Multi-Draw Term Loan or Revolving Loan, each
dated as of the Effective Date, or, if later, the date of such request, in the
principal amount of such Lender’s Percentage of such Commitment or Loan, as
applicable. Upon the request of any applicable Lender, the Borrower shall
execute and deliver to such Lender a separate Note for each applicable
Incremental Term Loan Facility, each dated as of the closing date of such
Incremental Term Loan Facility, or, if later, the date of such request, in the
principal amount of such Lender’s Percentage of such Incremental Term Loan
Commitment or Incremental Term Loan, as applicable. Upon Swingline Lender’s
request, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to Swingline Lender a Swingline
Note, dated as of the Effective Date, or, if later, the date of such request, in
the amount of the Swingline Loan Commitment.
(b)    The Notes issued to each Lender pursuant to clause (a) shall (i) be
executed by the Borrower, (ii) be payable to the order of such Lender or such
Lender’s assigns, (iii) be in the stated principal amount equal to the Loan made
by such Lender on date of such Note or the principal amount of such Lender’s pro
rata share of the applicable Commitment, (iv) be payable as provided in Section
3.1, (v) accrue interest as provided in Section 3.2 and (vi) be entitled to the
benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
(c)    Each Lender shall record in its records the amount and date of each Loan
made by such Lender to the Borrower, and each repayment of such Lender’s Loans.
The aggregate unpaid principal amount so recorded shall, absent manifest error,
be conclusive evidence of the principal amount of the Loan owing and unpaid. The
failure to so record any such amount or any error in so recording any such
amount shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the Obligations of the
Borrower hereunder or under any Note to repay the principal amount of all Loans
hereunder, together with interest accruing thereon.
(d)    The Administrative Agent may from time to time deliver to the Borrower
and the Lenders an updated Schedule II hereto reflecting any Incremental Term
Loan Facilities permitted by Section 2.1.1(b), any Revolver Increase permitted
by Section 2.1.1(c)(ii), or any Multi-Draw Term Loan Increase permitted by
Section 2.1.1(f)(iv).

Continuation/Conversion Notice to the Administrative Agent by facsimile, email
or other method of delivery of notice permitted pursuant to Section 11.2, on or
before 11:00 A.M. (New York City time) on a Business Day, the Borrower may from
time to time irrevocably elect on not less than one (1) Business Day nor more
than five (5) Business Days’ notice, in the case of Base Rate Loans, and not
less than three (3) nor more than five (5) Business Days’ notice, in the case of

be, in the case of Loans (other than Swingline Loans) accruing at the Base Rate,
converted into LIBOR Loans or be, in the case of LIBOR Loans, converted into
Base Rate Loans or continued as LIBOR Loans (in the absence of delivery of a
Continuation/Conversion Notice, by facsimile, email or other method of delivery
of notice permitted pursuant to Section 11.2, with respect to any LIBOR Loan at
least three (3) Business Days (but not more than five (5) Business Days) before
the last day of the then current Interest Period with respect thereto, such Loan
shall, on such last day, automatically convert to a Base Rate Loans); provided,
however, that (a) each such conversion or continuation shall be prorated among
the applicable outstanding Loans of all Lenders, (b) upon a Commitment
Termination Event or, at the election of the Administrative Agent or the
Required Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the continuing of any other
Event of Default, no portion of the outstanding principal amount of any Loans
may be continued as, or be converted to, LIBOR Loans, (c) no Loans may be
continued as, or be converted into, LIBOR Loans for an Interest Period extending
beyond the Stated Maturity Date and (d) with respect to the LIBOR Loans that

understood that, if there are Loans with Interest Periods ending on more than
one date, this clause shall only apply to those Loans with an Interest Period
ending on one particular date and no other date).

reduction in the Revolving Loan Commitments would cause the Revolving Loan

Commitment or the Letter of Credit (Revolver) Sublimit upon such reduction of
the Revolving Loan Commitment such that the sum of the Swingline Loan Commitment
and the Letter of Credit (Revolver) Sublimit does not exceed the Revolving Loan
Commitments.
(d)    Application of Voluntary Prepayment. Unless an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, each prepayment of any Loans made pursuant to
Section 3.1.1 shall be applied among the Loans as the Borrower may direct. If

(e)    Installments; Interest Rate; Penalties. Any repayment of any Loans made
pursuant to Sections 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 and applied to the Term Loans, any
Multi-Draw Term Loans, or any Incremental Term Loans shall be applied to the
principal installments in the inverse order of maturity. All payments made
pursuant to Sections 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 shall first be applied to Base Rate Loans
or LIBOR Loans, as the Borrower shall direct in writing and, in the absence of
such direction, shall first be applied to Base Rate Loans and then to LIBOR
Loans as the Administrative Agent shall elect. Each prepayment of any Loans made
pursuant to this Section 3.1 (and assignments pursuant to Section 4.5 or Section
11.11) shall, except as provided in Section 4.4, be without premium or penalty
and be accompanied by the payment of accrued and unpaid interest on the amount
prepaid.
(f)    Application of Prepayment to Revolving Loans. For the purposes of
calculating the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolver Real
Property Acquisition Loans, each prepayment for any Revolving Loans shall be
deemed applied as follows: first, to any Borrowing of Revolving Loans not
identified as Revolver Real Property Acquisition Loans in the applicable
Borrowing Request; and, second, after all Revolving Loans not identified as
Revolver Real Property Acquisition Loans have been paid in full, to any
Borrowing of Revolving Loans identified as Revolver Real Property Acquisition
Loans in the applicable Borrowing Request; provided that, any prepayment of
Revolver Real Property Acquisition Loans financed with the proceeds of a
Borrowing of Multi-Draw Term Loans or of Incremental Term Loans shall be deemed
applied to the outstanding Revolver Real Property Acquisition Loans.

SECTION 4.2    Interest Provisions. Interest on the outstanding principal amount
of Loans shall, pursuant to an appropriately delivered Borrowing Request or
Continuation/Conversion Notice, accrue and be payable in accordance with this
Section.

SECTION 4.2.1    Interest Rates.
Subject to Section 3.2.2, the Borrower may elect, pursuant to an appropriately
delivered Borrowing Request or Continuation/Conversion Notice:
(a)    a Borrowing of Loans that accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to
the sum of the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus the Applicable Margin;
and
(b)    a Borrowing of Loans that accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to
LIBOR for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin;
provided, that any Incremental Term Loans shall accrue interest as provided in
the amendment, supplement or restatement of this Agreement evidencing such
Incremental Term Loans; provided further, any Borrowing of a Swingline Loan must
be at the rate described in clause (a).

SECTION 4.2.2    Post-Default Rates. Upon a Commitment Termination Event or, at
the election of the Required Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any other Event of Default, the Borrower shall pay, but only to
the extent permitted by Law, interest (including post-default interest and
interest accruing after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor
Relief Laws referred to in Section 8.1.7, whether or not a claim for post-filing
or post-petition interest is allowed in any such proceeding) (i) on the Loans at
a rate per annum equal to the applicable interest rate then in effect (inclusive
of the highest Applicable Margin) with respect to such Loans plus 2.00% per
annum and (ii) on all other Obligations that are past due at a rate per annum
equal to the Base Rate plus the highest Applicable Margin for Revolving Loans at
Base Rate plus 2.00%.

SECTION 4.2.3    Interest Payment Dates. Interest accrued on each Loan shall be
paid as follows:
(a)    on the Stated Maturity Date therefor;
(b)    on the date of any payment or prepayment, in whole or in part, of
principal outstanding on such Loan on the principal amount so paid or prepaid;
(c)    on the last day of each applicable Interest Period and, if interest on
the Loans is accruing at the Base Rate, on each Quarterly Payment Date and, if
interest on the Loans is accruing at LIBOR and the Interest Period is longer
than three months, on the three-month anniversary of the first day of the
applicable Interest Period; and
(d)    on that portion of any Loans the Stated Maturity Date of which is
accelerated pursuant to Section 8.2 or Section 8.3, immediately upon such
acceleration.
Interest accrued on Loans or other monetary Obligations arising under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document after the date such amount is due and
payable (whether on the Stated Maturity Date, upon acceleration or otherwise)
shall be payable upon demand.

SECTION 4.2.4    Cost of Funds True Up. The Borrower, each Lender and each other
party to this Agreement acknowledge that LIBOR may not represent the true cost
of funds incurred by the Lenders in connection with making LIBOR Loans available
to the Borrower. In recognition of the foregoing, each party to this Agreement
agrees that, with respect to each successive Reset Date for Multi-Draw Term
Loans, Term A-2 Loans, Term A-3 Loans and Term A-4 Loans bearing interest at
LIBOR, the Administrative Agent shall (i) determine the difference (in basis
points), if any, between the Current Cost of Funds as of such Reset Date and the
Effective Date Cost of Funds (or with respect to the Term A-4 Loans, the
Amendment Effective Date Cost of Funds) and (ii) apply such difference (in a
like amount of basis points) as an increase (if the Current Cost of Funds as of
such Reset Date exceeds the Effective Date Cost of Funds or Amendment Effective
Date Cost of Funds, as applicable) or decrease (if the Effective Date Cost of
Funds or Amendment Effective Date Cost of Funds, as applicable, exceeds the
Current Cost of Funds as of such Reset Date), as applicable, to LIBOR, which
increase or decrease shall commence from and as of such Reset Date and shall
remain in effect until the earlier of (x) the next Reset Date and (y) repayment
in full of all Loans and other outstanding Obligations under the Loan Documents.

SECTION 4.3    Revolver Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the pro rata account of each Revolving Lender (other
than each Revolving Lender that is a Defaulting Lender), for the period
(including any portion thereof when the Revolving Loan Commitment is not
available to be borrowed by reason of the Borrower’s inability to satisfy any
condition of Article V) commencing on the Effective Date and continuing through
the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, a commitment fee (the “Revolver
Commitment Fee”) at the Applicable Margin on such Lender’s Percentage of the
average daily unused portion of the Revolving Loan Commitment Amount (calculated
for the Swingline Lender as all Revolving Loan Commitment Amounts, minus the
aggregate outstanding principal of all Revolving Loans, minus the aggregate
outstanding principal of all Swingline Loans, minus the face amount of each
outstanding Letter of Credit (Revolver); and calculated for all Lenders other
than the Swingline Lender as all Revolving Loan Commitment Amounts minus the
aggregate outstanding principal of all Revolving Loans minus the face amount of
each outstanding Letter of Credit (Revolver)) during the Fiscal Quarter ending
immediately prior to the applicable Quarterly Payment Date (without taking into
account that portion of Revolving Loan Commitment Amount attributable to such
Defaulting Lender). Such commitment fees are non-refundable and shall be payable
by the Borrower in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, commencing with the
first Quarterly Payment Date following the Effective Date, and on the Revolving
Loan Commitment Termination Date.

SECTION 4.4    Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay
to the Administrative Agent, for the pro rata account of each Multi-Draw Term
Loan Lender (other than each Multi-Draw Term Loan Lender that is a Defaulting
Lender), for the period (including any portion thereof when the Multi-Draw Term
Loan Commitment is not available to be borrowed by reason of the Borrower’s
inability to satisfy any condition of Article V) commencing on the Effective
Date and continuing through the Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitment Termination
Date, a commitment fee (the “Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitment Fee”) at the
Applicable Margin on such Lender’s Percentage of the average daily unused
portion of the Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitment Amount (calculated for all
Lenders as all Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitment Amounts minus the aggregate
principal amount of all Multi-Draw Term Loans minus the face amount of each
outstanding Letter of Credit (MDT)) during the Fiscal Quarter ending immediately
prior to the applicable Quarterly Payment Date (without taking into account that
portion of the Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitment Amount attributable to such
Defaulting Lender). Such commitment fees are non-refundable and shall be payable
by the Borrower in arrears on each Quarterly Payment Date, commencing with the
first Quarterly Payment Date following the Effective Date, and on the Multi-Draw
Term Loan Commitment Termination Date.

SECTION 4.5    Letter of Credit Fees.

SECTION 4.5.1    Letter of Credit (Revolver) Lenders. From the Effective Date,
the Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent for the account of all Revolving
Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders with respect to which any Issuing Lender
(Revolver) has exercised the right to require Cash Collateralization pursuant to
Section 4.13 from the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender (based upon their
respective Percentages) a fee for each Letter of Credit (Revolver) from the date
of issuance to the date of termination in an amount equal to the Applicable
Margin for Revolving Loans at LIBOR per annum multiplied by the undrawn face
amount of such Letter of Credit (Revolver), calculated for the actual number of
days elapsed. Such fee shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of all Lenders committed to make Revolving Loans (based upon their
respective Percentages). Such fee is to be paid quarterly in arrears on the
Quarterly Payment Date and the termination of the Letter of Credit (Revolver).

SECTION 4.5.2    Letter of Credit (MDT) Lenders. From the Effective Date, the
Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent for the account of all Multi-Draw
Term Loan Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders with respect to which any
Issuing Lender (MDT) has exercised the right to require Cash Collateralization
pursuant to Section 4.13 from the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender (based upon
their respective Percentages) a fee for each Letter of Credit (MDT) from the
date of issuance to the date of termination in an amount equal to the Applicable
Margin for Multi-Draw Term Loans at LIBOR per annum multiplied by the undrawn
face amount of such Letter of Credit (MDT), calculated for the actual number of
days elapsed. Such fee shall be payable to the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of all Lenders committed to make Multi-Draw Term Loans (based upon their
respective Percentages). Such fee is to be paid quarterly in arrears on the
Quarterly Payment Date and the termination of the Letter of Credit (MDT).

SECTION 4.5.3    Letter of Credit Issuing Lender. With respect to each Letter of
Credit, Borrower shall also pay Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the
Issuing Lender issuing such Letter of Credit, an issuance fee equal to the
greater of (a) $1,000, or (b) 0.125% of the face amount of such Letter of
Credit, which amount shall be paid upon the date of issuance and, if the
expiration date of such Letter of Credit is later than one (1) calendar year
from its date of issuance (whether pursuant to the original terms of the Letter
of Credit or pursuant to a renewal, extension or other modification), upon each
anniversary of the date of issuance during the term of such Letter of Credit, as
well as such Issuing Lender’s then in effect customary administrative fees and
administrative expenses payable with respect to such Letter of Credit as such
Issuing Lender may generally charge or incur from time to time in connection
with the issuance, maintenance, amendment (if any), renewal, extension,
assignment or transfer (if any), negotiation or administration of such Letter of
Credit.

SECTION 4.6    Extension of Stated Maturity Date.

SECTION 4.6.1    Requests for Extension. The Borrower may, by notice to the
Administrative Agent (who shall promptly notify the Lenders), request that each
Lender to any credit facility or credit facilities, as the Borrower shall
specify in its notice to the Administrative Agent, extend such Lender’s Stated
Maturity Date then in effect hereunder with respect to such credit facility or
credit facilities (the “Existing Stated Maturity Date”) for a period of time
from the Existing Stated Maturity Date, as the Borrower shall specify in its
notice to the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 4.6.2    Lender Elections to Extend. Each Lender, acting in its sole and
individual discretion, shall, by notice to the Administrative Agent given no
later than the date (the “Notice Date”) that is 30 days after the date of the
Borrower’s notice to the Administrative Agent (or, if such date is not a
Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day), advise the Administrative
Agent whether or not such Lender agrees to such extension or extensions (and
each Lender that determines not to so extend its Stated Maturity Date with
respect to any such credit facility (a “Non‑Extending Lender”) shall notify the
Administrative Agent of such fact promptly after such determination (but in any
event no later than the Notice Date) and any Lender that does not so advise the
Administrative Agent on or before the Notice Date shall be deemed to be a
Non‑Extending Lender). The election of any Lender to agree to such extension or
extensions shall not obligate any other Lender to so agree.

SECTION 4.6.3    Notification by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent
shall notify the Borrower of each Lender’s determination under this Section 3.6
with respect to each specified credit facility no later than the date 45 days
after the date of the Borrower’s notice to the Administrative Agent (or, if such
date is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day).

SECTION 4.6.4    Additional Commitment Lenders. The Borrower shall have the
right to replace each Non‑Extending Lender with, and add as “Lenders” under this
Agreement in place thereof, one or more Eligible Assignees (each, an “Additional
Commitment Lender”), each of which Additional Commitment Lenders shall have
entered into an Assignment and Assumption or similar agreement in form and
substance satisfactory to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent pursuant to
which such Additional Commitment Lender shall, effective as of the extension of
the Existing Stated Maturity Date, undertake a Commitment or Loan (and, if any
such Additional Commitment Lender is already a Lender, its Commitment or Loan
shall be in addition to such Lender’s Commitment or Loan hereunder on such date)
with respect to such specified credit facility.

SECTION 4.6.5    Extension Requirement. If (and only if) the total of the
Commitments (in the case of the Revolving Loan credit facility and, prior to the
Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitment Termination Date, the Multi-Draw Term Loan
credit facility) plus the then outstanding principal amount of the Loans (in the
case of the Term Loan credit facilities and, on and after the Multi-Draw Term
Loan Commitment Termination Date, the Multi-Draw Term Loan credit facility and
any Incremental Term Loan Facility) of the Lenders that have agreed so to extend
their Existing Stated Maturity Date and the additional Commitments of the
Additional Commitment Lenders equal the aggregate amount of the Commitments (in
the case of the Revolving Loan credit facility and, prior to the Multi-Draw Term
Loan Commitment Termination Date, the Multi-Draw Term Loan credit facility) and
the then outstanding principal amount of the Loans (in the case of Term Loan
credit facilities, and, prior to the Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitment Termination
Date, the Multi-Draw Term Loan credit facility and any Incremental Term Loan
Facility) in effect immediately prior to the extension of the Existing Stated
Maturity Date, then, effective as of the extension of the Existing Stated
Maturity Date, the Existing Stated Maturity Date of each extending Lender and of
each Additional Commitment Lender shall be extended by the period of time
specified in the Borrower’s notice to the Administrative Agent after the
Existing Stated Maturity Date (except that, if such date is not a Business Day,
such Existing Stated Maturity Date as so extended shall be the next preceding
Business Day) and each Additional Commitment Lender shall thereupon become a
“Lender” for all purposes of this Agreement.

SECTION 4.6.6    Conditions to Effectiveness of Extensions. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the extension of the Existing Stated Maturity Date pursuant to this
Section 3.6 shall not be effective with respect to any Lender unless:
(a)    no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on
the date of such extension and after giving Pro Forma Effect thereto;
(b)    the representations and warranties contained in this Agreement are true
and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such extension and
after giving effect thereto, as though made on and as of such date; provided
that such representations and warranties (i) that relate solely to an earlier
date shall be true and correct as of such earlier date and (ii) shall be true
and correct in all respects if they are qualified by a materiality standard;
(c)    with respect to any request for an extension of the Existing Stated
Maturity Date of the Revolving Loan credit facility, any Issuing Lender
(Revolver) and the Swingline Lender shall have consented to such extension of
the Revolving Loan Commitments, to the extent that such extension of the
Revolving Loan Commitments provides for the issuance or extension of Letters of
Credit (Revolver) by such Issuing Lender (Revolver) or making of Swingline Loans
by such Swingline Lender at any time during the extended period;
(d)    with respect to any request for an extension of the Existing Stated
Maturity Date of the Multi-Draw Term Loan credit facility, any Issuing Lender
(MDT) shall have consented to such extension of the Multi-Draw Term Loan
Commitments, to the extent that such extension of the Multi-Draw Term Loan
Commitments provides for the issuance or extension of Letters of Credit (MDT) by
such Issuing Lender (MDT) at any time during the extended period;
(e)    on or before the extension of the Existing Stated Maturity Date, (1) the
Borrower shall have replaced each Non-Extending Lender as provided in Section
3.6.4 and (2) the Borrower shall have paid in full any amounts owing to such
Non-Extending Lender hereunder after giving effect to such replacement; and
(f)    the terms of such extended Commitments and extended Loans shall comply
with Section 3.6.7.

SECTION 4.6.7    Terms. The terms of each extension of the Existing Stated
Maturity Date of each credit facility or credit facilities shall be determined
by the Borrower and the applicable extending Lenders and set forth in an
Extension Amendment; provided that (a) the final maturity date of any extended
Commitments or extended Loans shall be no earlier than the Existing Stated
Maturity Date with respect to such credit facility, (b) the interest rate
margin, rate floors, fees, original issue discount and premium applicable to any
extended Commitment and extended Loans shall be determined by the Borrower and
the applicable extending Lenders, and (c) the terms of the extended Commitments
or extended Loans, as applicable, shall be substantially identical to the terms
set forth herein (except as set forth in clauses (a) through (b) above) other
than any terms applicable only after the maturity of all other credit
facilities.

SECTION 4.6.8    Extension Amendment. In connection with any extension of the
Existing Stated Maturity Date of any credit facility or credit facilities, the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each applicable extending Lender shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Extension Amendment and such
other documentation as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably specify to
evidence the extension of the Existing Stated Maturity Date of any credit
facility or credit facilities, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender as to the effectiveness of each extension of the Existing
Stated Maturity Date of any credit facility or credit facilities. Any Extension
Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lender, effect such amendments
to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or
appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower, to implement the terms of any such extension of the Existing Stated
Maturity Date of any credit facility or credit facilities on terms consistent
with this Section 3.6.

ARTICLE V
YIELD PROTECTION, TAXES AND RELATED PROVISIONS

SECTION 5.1    Eurodollar Rate Lending Unlawful. If any Lender shall determine
(which determination shall, upon notice thereof to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower) that any Change
in Law makes it unlawful, or any central bank or other Governmental Authority
asserts that it is unlawful, for such Lender to accrue interest on the Loans at
LIBOR, the obligations of the Lenders to continue to accrue interest on the
Loans at LIBOR shall, upon such determination, forthwith be suspended until such
Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent that the circumstances causing such
suspension no longer exist, and all Loans shall automatically, at the end of the
then current Interest Period, continue to accrue interest at the Base Rate.

SECTION 5.2    LIBOR Unavailability.
(a)    Inability to Determine Rates. If (i) the Administrative Agent shall have
determined or been instructed by the Required Lenders that adequate means do not
exist for adequately and fairly determining the cost to the Lenders or that
LIBOR does not adequately cover the costs of such Lenders of making or
maintaining LIBOR Loans or calculating the same or (ii) the LIBOR Scheduled
Unavailability Date has occurred then, upon notice from the Administrative Agent
to the Borrower and the Lenders, the obligations of all Lenders under Article II
to make or continue any Loans as, or to convert any Loans into, LIBOR Loans
shall forthwith be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the
Borrower and the Lenders that the circumstances causing such suspension no
longer exist.
(b)    LIBOR Replacement Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document, but without limiting
Section 4.2(a) above, if the Administrative Agent shall have determined (which
determination shall be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto
absent manifest error), or the Borrower or the Required Lenders notify the
Administrative Agent (with in the case of the Required Lenders, a copy to the
Borrower) that the Borrower or the Required Lenders (as applicable) shall have
determined (which determination likewise shall be final and conclusive and
binding upon all parties hereto absent manifest error), that (i) the
circumstances described in Section 4.2(a)(i) have arisen and that such
circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) the relevant administrator of
LIBOR or a Governmental Authority having or purporting to have jurisdiction over
the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date
after which LIBOR shall no longer be made available, or used for determining
interest rates for loans in the applicable currency (such specific date, the
“LIBOR Scheduled Unavailability Date”), or (iii) syndicated credit facilities
among national and/or regional banks active in leading and participating in such
facilities currently being executed, or that include language similar to that
contained in this Section 4.2(b), are being executed or amended (as applicable)
to incorporate or adopt a new interest rate to replace LIBOR for determining
interest rates for loans in the applicable currency, then, reasonably promptly
after such determination by the Administrative Agent or receipt by the
Administrative Agent of such notice, as applicable, the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower may amend this Agreement to replace LIBOR with an alternate rate of
interest, giving due consideration to any evolving or then existing convention
for similar Dollar denominated syndicated credit facilities for such alternative
rates of interest (any such proposed rate, a “LIBOR Replacement Rate”), and make
such other related changes to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may
be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower, to effect the provisions of this Section 4.2(b) (provided, that any
definition of the LIBOR Replacement Rate shall specify that in no event shall
such LIBOR Replacement Rate be less than zero for purposes of this Agreement)
and any such amendment shall become effective at 3:00 p.m. (New York City time)
on the fifth Business Day after the Administrative Agent shall have posted such
proposed amendment to all Lenders and the Borrower unless, prior to such time,
Lenders comprising the Required Lenders have delivered to the Administrative
Agent written notice that such Required Lenders do not accept such amendment.
The LIBOR Replacement Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market
practice; provided that, in each case, to the extent such market practice is not
administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such LIBOR Replacement
Rate shall be applied as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower (it being understood that any such modification to
application by the Administrative Agent made as so determined shall not require
the consent of, or consultation with, any of the Lenders). For the avoidance of
doubt, the parties hereto agree that unless and until a LIBOR Replacement Rate
is determined and an amendment to this Agreement is entered into to effect the
provisions of this Section 4.2(b), if the circumstances under clauses (i) and
(ii) of this Section 4.2(b) exist, the provisions of Section 4.2(a) shall apply.

SECTION 5.3    Capital Adequacy and Other Adjustments.
(a)    Increased Costs, Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(A)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by,
any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in LIBOR) or any Issuing
Lender;
(B)    subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B)
Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes
and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of
credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other
liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or
(C)    impose on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition,
cost or expense affecting this Agreement or any Loan made by any Lender or any
Letter of Credit participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such
Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or
maintaining any Loan or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan, or
to increase the cost to such Lender, such Issuing Lender or such other Recipient
of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of
maintaining any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received
or receivable by such Lender, such Issuing Lender or other Recipient hereunder
(whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon request of such
Lender, Issuing Lender or other Recipient, the Borrower will pay to such Lender,
Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Lender, Issuing Lender or other Recipient, as
the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(b)    Capital Requirements. If any Lender or Issuing Lender determines that any
Change in Law affecting such Lender of Issuing Lender or any lending office of
such Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any,
regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of
reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s capital or on
the capital of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company, if any, as a
consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made
by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such
Lender, or Letters of Credit issued by any Issuing Lender, to a level below that
which such Lender or Issuing Lender such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding
company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into
consideration such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s policies and the policies of
such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company with respect to capital
adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or
Issuing Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender
or Issuing Lender or such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s holding company for any
such reduction suffered.
(c)    Certificates of Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or Issuing
Lender setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender
or Issuing Lender or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified in
clause (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent), shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The
Borrower shall pay such Lender or Issuing Lender the amount shown as due on any
such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d)    Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or Issuing Lender to demand
compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such
Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s right to demand such compensation; provided that
the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or Issuing Lender
pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered
more than nine months prior to the date that such Lender or Issuing Lender, as
the case may be, notifies the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such
increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or Issuing Lender’s
intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change in Law
giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the
nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of
retroactive effect thereof).

SECTION 5.4    Funding Losses. In the event any Lender shall incur any loss or
expense (including any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or
reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender) as a result of
any Loan or Letter of Credit not being made in accordance with a Borrowing
Request, the Interest Period of any Loan not being continued in accordance with
the Continuation/Conversion Notice therefor or any repayment or prepayment of
the principal amount of any Loans or Letters of Credit on a date other than the
scheduled last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, whether pursuant
to Section 3.1, Section 4.1, Section 4.2, Article VIII or any assignment
pursuant to Section 4.5 or otherwise then, upon the notice of such Lender to the
Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall promptly
(and, in any event, within three (3) Business Days of receipt of such notice)
pay directly to such Lender such amount as will (in the reasonable determination
of such Lender) reimburse such Lender for such loss or expense. Such notice
(which shall include calculations in reasonable detail) shall, in the absence of
manifest error, be conclusive and binding on the Borrower. For the purpose of
calculating amounts payable to a Lender under this Section, each Lender shall be
deemed to have actually funded its relevant Loan through the purchase of a
deposit bearing interest at LIBOR in an amount equal to the amount of that Loan
and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, that
each Lender may fund each of its Loans in any manner it sees fit, and the
foregoing assumption shall be utilized only for the calculation of amounts
payable under this Section.

SECTION 5.5    Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lender.
(a)    Designation of Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests
compensation under Section 4.3, or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified
Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the
account of any Lender pursuant to Section 4.6, then such Lender shall (at the
request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different lending
office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and
obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in
the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate
or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 4.3 or Section 4.6, as the case
may be, in the future, and (ii) would not subject such Lender to any
unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such
Lender. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b)    Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section
4.3, or if the Borrower is required to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional
amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any
Lender pursuant to Section 4.6 and, in each case, such Lender has declined or is
unable to designate a different lending office in accordance with clause (a), or
if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the
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 restrictions contained in, and
consents required by, Section 11.11), all of its interests, rights (other than
its existing rights to payments pursuant to the Loan Documents) and obligations
under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that
shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender
accepts such assignment); provided that:
(A)    The Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment
fee (if any) specified in Section 11.11;
(B)    such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to the
outstanding principal of its Loans and participations in Letter of Credit
Liabilities, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other amounts
payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any
amounts under Section 11.3, Section 4.4 and Section 3.1) from the assignee (to
the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued interest and fees) or the
Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(C)    in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for
compensation under Section 4.3 or payments required to be made pursuant to
Section 4.6, such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or
payments thereafter;
(D)    such assignment does not conflict with Law; and
(E)    in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a
Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the
applicable amendment, waiver or consent.
Other than with respect to a Non-Extending Lender who qualifies as a
Non-Consenting Lender under clause (b) of the definition of such term, 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 Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.

SECTION 5.6    Taxes.
(a)    Payments Free of Taxes. Any and all payments by or on account of any
obligation of any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without
deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Law. If any Law
(as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent)
requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a
Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to
make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted
or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Law and,
if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Loan
Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or
withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable
to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives
an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or
withholding been made.
(b)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. The Borrower shall timely pay to
the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Law, or at the option of
the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other
Taxes.
(c)    Indemnification by the Loan Parties. The Loan Parties shall jointly and
severally indemnify each Recipient, within 10 days after demand therefor, for
the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or
asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or
paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to
such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed
or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the
amount of such payment or liability delivered to the 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)    Indemnification by the Lenders. Each Lender shall severally indemnify the
Administrative Agent, within 10 days after demand therefor, for (i) any
Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any
Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such
Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Loan Parties to do
so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the
provisions of Section 11.11(d) relating to the maintenance of a Participant
Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case,
that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan
Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto,
whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the
relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment
or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be
conclusive absent manifest error. Each Lender hereby authorizes the
Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing
to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the
Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due
to the Administrative Agent under this clause (d).
(e)    Evidence of Payments. As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes
by any Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section 4.6, such
Loan Party 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.
(f)    Status of Lenders.
(A)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of
withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times
prescribed by Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested
by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be
made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, any
Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Law or reasonably requested
by the Borrower or Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to
backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion,
execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation
set forth in Sections 4.6 (f)(ii)(A), (B), (C) and (D) below) shall not be
required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or
submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or
expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such
Lender.
(B)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the
Borrower is a U.S. Person,
(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a
Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the
reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed
originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S.
federal backup withholding tax;
(B)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the 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 reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to
which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest
under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form
W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S.
federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty
and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document,
IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption
from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business
profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;
executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;
in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for
portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Code, (x) a certificate
substantially in the form of Exhibit 4.6 (A) to the effect that such Foreign
Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, a
“10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section
871(h)(3)(B) of the Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” related to the
Borrower as described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code (a “U.S. Tax
Compliance Certificate”) and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS
Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or
to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals
of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form
W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the
form of Exhibit 4.6 (B) or Exhibit 4.6 (C), IRS Form W-9, and/or other
certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that
if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect
partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption,
such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially
in the form of Exhibit 4.6 (D) on behalf of each such direct and indirect
partner;
(C)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so,
deliver to the 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 reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by Law as a basis for
claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly
completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed
by Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the
withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to
U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to
comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those
contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender
shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times
prescribed by Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Law (including as
prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional
documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with
their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied
with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount, if any,
to deduct and withhold from such payment. Solely for purposes of this clause
(D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this
Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered
expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such
form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g)    Treatment of Certain Refunds. If any party determines, in its sole
discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes
as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.6 (including by
the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.6), it shall pay to
the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of
indemnity payments made under this Section 4.6 with respect to the Taxes giving
rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of
such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the
relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying
party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such
indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this clause (g) (plus any
penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such
refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this clause (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay
any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this clause (g) the payment of
which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax
position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to
indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld
or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with
respect to such Tax had never been paid. This clause shall not be construed to
require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other
information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the
indemnifying party or any other Person.
(h)    Survival. Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.6 shall survive
the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of
rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments
and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan
Document.

SECTION 5.7    Payments, Interest Calculations, etc.
(a)    Unless otherwise expressly provided, all payments by the Borrower
pursuant to or in respect of this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan
Document shall be made by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the pro
rata account of the Lenders entitled to receive such payment; provided, however,
(i) in the case of any Revolving Lender being a Defaulting Lender due to failure
to fund, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to set off the funding
shortfall against such Defaulting Lender’s respective share of all payments
received from the Borrower, and (ii) in the case of any Multi-Draw Term Loan
Lender being a Defaulting Lender due to failure to fund, the Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to set off the funding shortfall against such Defaulting
Lender’s respective share of all payments received from the Borrower. All such
payments required to be made to the Administrative Agent shall be made without
setoff, deduction or counterclaim, not later than 11:00 A.M. (New York City
time), on the date due, in same day or immediately available funds, to such
account as the Administrative Agent shall specify from time to time by notice to
the Borrower. Funds received after that time shall be deemed to have been
received by the Administrative Agent on the next succeeding Business Day and any
applicable interest shall continue to accrue thereon. The Administrative Agent
shall promptly remit (and, in any event, on the same Business Day as received by
the Administrative Agent is so received on or prior to 11:00 A.M. (New York City
time)) in same day funds to each Lender its share, if any, of such payments
received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender.
(b)    All interest and fees shall be computed on the basis of the actual number
of days (including the first day but excluding the last day) occurring during
the period for which such interest or fee is payable over a year comprised of
360 days. If a Loan is repaid on the same day it is made one day’s interest
shall be charged. Whenever any payment to be made shall otherwise be due on a
day which is not a Business Day, such payment shall (except as otherwise
required by clause (b) of the definition of “Interest Period”) be made on the
next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in
computing interest and fees, if any, in connection with such payment.
(c)    The Administrative Agent is authorized to charge any account maintained
by any of the Loan Parties with it for any Obligations owing to it or any of the
Lender Parties.
(d)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document,
the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan 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 Borrower. 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, (i) characterize any payment that is not principal as an expense, fee, or
premium rather than interest, (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects
thereof, and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal
parts the total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the
Obligations hereunder.

SECTION 5.8    Sharing of Payments.
If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or
otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of
its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender receiving
payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued
interest thereon or other such obligations greater than its Percentage thereof
as provided herein (other than pursuant to Section 4.5(b)), then the Lender
receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of
such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans
and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments
as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared
by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of
and accrued interest on their respective Loans and other amounts owing them;
provided that:
(i)    if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the
payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded
and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without
interest; and
(ii)    the provisions of this clause shall not be construed to apply to (A) any
payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express
terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the
existence of a Defaulting Lender), or (B) any payment obtained by a Lender as
consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its
Loans or participations in Letter of Credit Liabilities to any assignee or
participant, other than to the Loan Parties or any Subsidiary thereof (as to
which the provisions of this clause shall apply).
Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may
effectively do so under Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant
to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Loan Party rights of
setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such
Lender were a direct creditor of each Loan Party in the amount of such
participation. This Section 4.8 shall not apply to any action taken by any Farm
Credit Lender with respect to any Farm Credit Equities held by the Borrower.

SECTION 5.9    Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing, each Lender, each Issuing Lender and each of their respective
Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the
fullest extent permitted by Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits
(general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency)
or other property at any time held, and other obligations (in whatever currency)
at any time owing, by such Lender, such Issuing Lender or any such Affiliate, to
or for the credit or the account of the Borrower or any other Loan Party against
any and all of the obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party now or
hereafter existing under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to such
Lender or such Issuing Lender or their respective Affiliates, irrespective of
whether or not such Lender, Issuing Lender or Affiliate shall have made any
demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such
obligations of the Borrower or such Loan Party may be contingent or unmatured or
are owed to a branch, office or Affiliate of such Lender or such Issuing Lender
different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated
on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender
shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be
paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.12 and, pending such payment, shall
be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in
trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the
Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the
Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the obligations
owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.
The rights of each Lender, each Issuing Lender and their respective Affiliates
under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other
rights of setoff) that such Lender, such Issuing Lender or its respective
Affiliates may have. Each Lender and Issuing Lender agrees to notify the
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.

SECTION 5.10    Use of Proceeds.
(a)    Term Loans. The Term A-1 Loans reflect the remaining outstanding balance
of “Term Loan” indebtedness under the Existing Credit Agreement. The proceeds of
the Term A-2 Loans and the Term A-3 Loan shall be used solely to refinance the
outstanding balance of the Multi-Draw Term Loans under the Existing Credit

the Term A-4 Loan Credit Facility shall be used solely to refinance a portion of
the Multi-Draw Term Loan Facility outstanding prior to the Amendment Effective

proceeds of any Revolver Increase) shall be used (i) for general working

Investment Subsidiary and any Shell Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary of a
Permitted JV Investment Subsidiary) (A) in connection with the acquisition of
any additional Real Property and (B) for other general corporate purposes (other
than in connection with an acquisition of any JV Real Property by any Permitted
Joint Venture), (iii) to fund cash earnest money deposits made by any Loan Party

hereunder and as defined herein.
(c)    Multi-Draw Term Loan. The proceeds of any Multi-Draw Term Loans
(including the proceeds of any Multi-Draw Term Loan Increase) shall be used
solely: (i) to reimburse payments of drafts under Letters of Credit (MDT) for
the account of any Loan Party or Shell Subsidiary (including any Permitted JV
Investment Subsidiary) and to fund cash earnest money deposits made by any Loan
Party, in each case, (A) in connection with the proposed acquisition of any
additional Real Property or JV Real Property, or Investment in any proposed
Permitted Joint Venture or Permitted JV Investment Subsidiary and (B) in an
amount that (1) together with any other Credit Support provided with respect to
such acquisition or Investment does not exceed the Permitted Escrow Amount with
respect to such acquisition or Investment and (2) does not exceed $30,000,000 in
the aggregate at any time (calculated as Letters of Credit Usage for all Letters
of Credit (MDT) plus all outstanding cash earnest money deposits made by any
Loan Party in connection with the acquisition of Real Property or JV Real
Property or Investment in any Permitted Joint Venture or Permitted JV Investment
Subsidiary funded with Multi-Draw Term Loan proceeds), (ii) finance acquisitions
by any Subsidiary Guarantor of (A) additional Real Property (along with actual
and reasonably estimated reasonable fees and out-of-pocket transaction costs and
expenses related thereto) that will not be designated Unsecured Real Property or
(B) additional Real Property (along with actual and reasonably estimated
reasonable fees and out-of-pocket transaction costs and expenses related
thereto) that will be designated Unsecured Real Property; (iii) refinance
Revolver Real Property Acquisition Loans; (iv) reimburse any Subsidiary
Guarantor for any Equity Funded Acquisition; (v) to the extent not reimbursed or

SECTION 5.11    Payment Reliance.
(a)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by a Lender
prior to the proposed date of any Borrowing that such Lender will not make
available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Percentage of such
Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such
share available to the Administrative Agent on such date in accordance with
Section 2.1.3 and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the
Borrower a corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made
its Percentage of the applicable Borrowing available to the Administrative
Agent, then the applicable Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount with interest
thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is made available
to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative
Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of
the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative
Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation, and
(ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate
applicable to Base Rate Loans. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such
interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or an overlapping period, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such
interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its
Percentage of the applicable Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the
amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Loan included in such Borrowing.
Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower
may have against a Lender that shall have failed to make such payment to this
Administrative Agent. Nothing in this Section or elsewhere in this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to require the Administrative Agent (or
any other Lender) to advance funds on behalf of any Lender or to relieve any
Lender from its obligations to fulfill its commitments hereunder or to prejudice
any rights that the Administrative Agent or the Borrower may have against any
Lender as a result of any default by such Lender hereunder.
(b)    Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the
Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make
such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made
such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the
Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally
agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand the amount so
distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and
including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of
payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds
Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance
with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

SECTION 5.12    Defaulting Lenders.
(a)    Defaulting Lender Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then,
until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent
permitted by Law:
(A)    Waivers and Amendments. Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or
disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall
be restricted as set forth in the definition of Required Lenders and Section
11.1.
(B)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or
other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such
Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to
Article VIII or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a
Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 4.8 or Section 4.9 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 such Defaulting Lender to the
Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of
any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Lender or Swingline
Lender hereunder; third on a pro rata basis to Cash Collateralize the Issuing
Lenders’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance
with Section 4.13; fourth, 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 such
Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this
Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a InvestLine Account or
deposit account and released pro rata in order to (A) satisfy such Defaulting
Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this
Agreement and (B) Cash Collateralize the Issuing Lenders’ future Fronting
Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters
of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with Section 4.13; sixth,
to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders or
Swingline Lenders as a result of any judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, Issuing Lenders or Swingline Lenders
against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of
its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of
Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result
of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower
against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of
its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such 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 or Letter of
Credit Liabilities in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully
funded its appropriate share, and (Y) such Loans were made or the related
Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Section
5.1 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the
Loans of or Letter of Credit Liabilities owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on
a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or
Letter of Credit Liabilities owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as
all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Liabilities
and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the
Commitments under the applicable credit facility without giving effect to
Section 4.12(a)(iv). 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 or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section
4.12(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender,
and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(C)    Certain Fees.
(A)    No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Commitment Fee for
any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower
shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been
required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
(B)    Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive the fees provided in
Section 3.5 for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only
to the extent allocable to its Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of
Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to Section 4.13.
(C)    With respect to any Commitment Fee or fees provided in Section 3.5 not
required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (A) or (B)
above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that portion of
any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such
Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities or Swingline
Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause
(iv) below, (y) pay to each Issuing Lender and Swingline Lender, as applicable,
the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the
extent allocable to such Issuing Lender’s or Swingline Lender’s Fronting
Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining
amount of any such fee.
(D)    Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure. All or any
part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities
and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in
accordance with their respective Percentages (calculated without regard to such
Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) but only to the extent that (A) the conditions
set forth in Section 5.3 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and,
unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at
such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that
such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (B) such reallocation does not
cause (1) the aggregate Revolving Loans and participations in Letter of Credit
Liabilities and Swingline Loans of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such
Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Loan Commitment or (2) the aggregate
Multi-Draw Term Loans and participations in Letter of Credit Liabilities of any
Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Multi-Draw Term
Loan Commitment. Subject to Section 11.25, no reallocation hereunder shall
constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a
Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a defaulting Lender,
including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such
Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(E)    Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans. If the reallocation
described in clause (iv) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the
Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it
hereunder or under Law, (A) first, prepay the Swingline Loans in an amount equal
to the Swingline Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (B) second, Cash Collateralize
the Issuing Lenders’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set
forth in Section 4.13.
(b)    Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the
Swingline Lender and each Issuing Lender agree in writing that a Lender is no
longer 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 such Lender will, to the extent
applicable, purchase at par (together with any break funding costs the
Non-Defaulting Lender may have as a result of such 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 and funded
and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held
pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with the Commitments under the applicable
credit facilities (without giving effect to Section 4.12(a)(iv)), whereupon such
Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will
be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on
behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided,
further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected
parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a
waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s
having been a Defaulting Lender.
(c)    Reduction of Commitments of Defaulting Lender. The Borrower may terminate
the unused amount of the Commitment of any Lender that is a Defaulting Lender
upon not less than fifteen (15) Business Days’ prior notice to the
Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders thereof), and in
such event the provisions of Section 4.12(a)(ii) will apply to all amounts
thereafter paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender under
this Agreement (whether on account of principal, interest, fees, indemnity or
other amounts); provided that (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, and (ii) such termination shall not be deemed to be a waiver or
release of any claim the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender may
have against such Defaulting Lender.
(d)    New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit. So long as any Lender is a
Defaulting Lender (i) the Swingline Lender shall not be required to fund any
Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure
after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) no Issuing Lender shall be
required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is
satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.

SECTION 5.13    Cash Collateral. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting
Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the
Administrative Agent, the Swingline Lender or any Issuing Lender (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize the Fronting
Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect
to Section 4.12(a)(iv) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting
Lender) in an amount not less than the Minimum Collateral Amount.
(a)    Grant of Security Interest. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by
any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grants to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Lenders, and agrees to
maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as
security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in
respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities, to be applied pursuant to clause (b)
below. If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral
is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative
Agent and the Issuing Lenders as herein provided (other than Liens permitted
pursuant to Section 7.2.3), or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is
less than the Minimum Collateral Amount, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand
by Administrative Agent, pay or provide to Administrative Agent additional Cash
Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving
effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(b)    Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section 4.13 or Section 4.12 in
respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied pro rata to the satisfaction of
the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter
of Credit Liabilities (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting
Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral
was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may
otherwise be provided for herein.
(c)    Termination of Requirement. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion
thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Lender’s Fronting Exposure shall no
longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this Section 4.13
following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by
the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Lender), or (ii)
the determination by the Administrative Agent and each Issuing Lender that there
exists excess Cash Collateral; provided that, subject to Section 4.12, the
Person providing Cash Collateral and each Issuing Lender may agree that Cash
Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or
other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash
Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain
subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.

SECTION 5.14    Letter of Credit Liability.
(a)    All Letters of Credit.
(A)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default and
at the direction of the Administrative Agent,
(B)    in the event any Letters of Credit (Revolver) are outstanding on the
Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date, or
(C)    in the event any Letters of Credit (MDT) are outstanding on the
Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitment Termination Date,

payable or (B) (1) immediately deposit with the Administrative Agent an amount
equal to the aggregate outstanding Letter of Credit Liability as of such date to
enable the Administrative Agent to make payments under all of the outstanding
Letters of Credit when required and such amount shall become immediately due and

such Letters of Credit for the full remaining terms of such Letters of Credit,
and upon termination of any such Letter of Credit, the unearned portion of such
prepaid fee attributable to such Letter of Credit shall be refunded to the
Borrower.
(b)    Letter of Credit Usage.
(A)    In the event the Aggregate Letter of Credit (Revolver) Usage exceeds the
Letter of Credit (Revolver) Sublimit at any time, the Borrower shall reduce the
Letter of Credit Usage for a sufficient number of the outstanding Letters of
Credit (Revolver) to eliminate such excess,
(B)    In the event the Aggregate Letter of Credit (MDT) Usage exceeds the
Letter of Credit (MDT) Sublimit at any time, the Borrower shall reduce the
Letter of Credit Usage for a sufficient number of the outstanding Letters of

to Section 3.1.3 to reduce the Aggregate Letter of Credit (Revolver) Usage, the
Borrower shall reduce the Aggregate Letter of Credit (Revolver) Usage by the
amount of such prepayment,
(D)    prior to the Revolving Loan Commitment Termination Date so long as no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or would reasonably be expected
to result therefrom, the Borrower may reduce the Letter of Credit Usage for any
Letter of Credit (Revolver), or
(E)    prior to the Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitment Termination Date so long as

qualifying as an Unrestricted Timber Subsidiary shall be deemed to be a
Subsidiary of any Loan Party, other than for the purposes of Sections 6.8(a),
6.14, 6.23 and 6.24.

SECTION 7.1    Organization, etc. Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of any
Loan Party (a) (i) is a corporation, limited partnership or limited liability

is in good standing as a foreign corporation or limited liability company in
each jurisdiction where the nature of its business requires such qualification;

in the ordinary course. No Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party is in
violation of its Organizational Documents.

SECTION 7.2    Due Authorization, Non-Contravention, etc.
The execution, delivery and performance by any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of
any Loan Party of this Agreement, each other Loan Document executed or to be
executed by it, are within such Loan Party’s and each such Subsidiary’s
corporate, partnership, limited partnership or limited liability company powers,
have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited
partnership or limited liability company action, and do not:

Subsidiary’s Organizational Documents;
(b)    contravene any Law binding on any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any

give rise to any right to accelerate or to require the prepayment, repurchase or
redemption of any obligation under, any Material Agreement to which it is a
party;
(d)    violate, conflict with, result in a breach of, or result in the
impairment, forfeiture or non-renewal of, any material permit, license,
authorization, approval, entitlement, accreditation or privilege of any

their respective terms, subject in each case to the effect of any Debtor Relief
Laws or other similar Law affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject to
the effect of general principles of equity (regardless of whether considered in
a proceeding in equity or at Law). Each of the Loan Documents which purports to

(B)    such insurance will not be affected by any unintentional act or
negligence or representation or warranty on the part of any Loan Party or any
Subsidiary of any Loan Party or other owner of the policy or the property
described in such policy.
All such insurance policies will provide that the insurer will, simultaneously
with the delivery to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party of any
notice of a material event under such policy, deliver to the Administrative
Agent a copy of such notice. All such insurance policies and loss payable
clauses will provide that they may not be canceled, amended or terminated unless
the Administrative Agent is given at least the same number of days’ notice that
the insurance company which issued such policies is required to give any Loan
Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, but in no event less than (i) 10
days’ prior written notice by reason of nonpayment of premium or (ii) 30 days’
prior written notice for any other reason.
(d)    The Borrower will provide to the Administrative Agent and to its
insurance consultant (or any agent, officer or employee of the Administrative
Agent) such other information relating to its insurance coverage as may be
reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent. The insurance consultant
(through its officers or employees) shall have the right to visit the offices of
any Loan Party and any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, upon reasonable prior
notice during usual business hours, to inspect the insurance policies provided
for herein. The reasonable fees, costs and expenses of the insurance consultant
shall be paid for by the Borrower.
(e)    If any Loan Party or Subsidiary of any Loan Party fails to maintain any
of the policies of insurance required by this Section (the “Required
Insurance”), the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be required to), at the
sole cost and expense of the Borrower, obtain and maintain such policies of
insurance, pay the related premiums and take such other action as it deems
reasonably advisable. All costs related to the foregoing shall be charged to the
Borrower’s loan account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent
shall have no liability with respect to the cost, scope, amount or other terms
with respect to the insurance purchased by it pursuant to this provision. If the
Loan Parties provide the Administrative Agent with proof reasonably acceptable
to the Administrative Agent that the Loan Parties have all Required Insurance,
then the Administrative Agent agrees to cancel the insurance purchased by the
Administrative Agent pursuant to this clause (e) within a reasonable period of
time thereafter.
(f)    Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default,
the Administrative Agent shall have the sole right, in the name of the Lenders
and each other Lender Party, to file claims under any insurance policies with
respect to which the Administrative Agent is the loss payee, to receive receipt
and give acquittance for any payments that may be payable thereunder, and to
execute any and all endorsements, receipts, releases, assignments, reassignments
or other documents that may be necessary to effect the collection, compromise or
settlement of any claims under any such insurance policies.
(g)    The Borrower will furnish to the Administrative Agent annually and at
such other times as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably request, a
certificate of insurance and other evidence as to the insurance required to be
maintained pursuant to this Section.

SECTION 8.1.5    Books and Records; Inspections; Annual Meeting.
(a)    Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of any Loan Party will keep books and
records which accurately reflect in all material respects all of its business
affairs and transactions. Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of any Loan Party
will maintain at all times books and records pertaining to the Collateral in
such detail, form, and scope as the Administrative Agent shall reasonably
require.
(b)    Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of any Loan Party (to the extent
relating to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents) will permit the
Administrative Agent and each Lender or any of their respective representatives
(including outside auditors), at reasonable times and intervals and with
reasonable prior notice unless a Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, to visit all of its offices, to discuss its financial matters with
its officers and independent public accountant (subject to such accountant’s
customary policies and procedures) and to examine (and, at the expense of the
Borrower, copy extracts from) and conduct audits of any of its account
receivables, other assets and books or other corporate records (including
computer records). The Administrative Agent and the Lenders or any of their
respective representatives shall give the Loan Parties the opportunity to
participate in any discussions with the Loan Parties’ independent public
accountant; provided that, if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or any of their respective
representatives shall only be required to give the Loan Parties written prior
notice of such discussions.
(c)    If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, as may
be requested by the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders, the Borrower
shall host a meeting of the Lenders to discuss their financial condition and
results of operations (including its financial reports and related material
delivered with respect to such Fiscal Year). Such meeting shall be held at a
mutually convenient location as agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders.
(d)    The Borrower will pay all the reasonable fees and expenses of the
Administrative Agent and each Lender in the exercise of their rights pursuant to
this Section, including the reasonable fees and expenses of independent public
accountants and other professionals retained by the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) if no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall not be
required to reimburse the Administrative Agent for such fees and expenses in
connection with more than one audit and one visit per calendar year, and (ii)
unless a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Borrower shall not be required to reimburse the Lenders for any such fees and
expenses. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties hereto agree that the
foregoing proviso to Section 7.1.5(d) does not apply with respect to any audits
or visits conducted by any Field Servicer.

SECTION 8.1.6    Environmental Covenants.
(a)    Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of any Loan Party will, and will
cause all lessees and other Persons occupying any of the Real Property or their
other properties to:
(A)    use and operate all of its facilities and properties in compliance with
all Environmental Laws, keep all permits, approvals, certificates, licenses and
other authorizations relating to environmental matters in effect and remain in
compliance therewith, and handle all Hazardous Materials in compliance with all
applicable Environmental Laws, except where the failure to do any of the
foregoing, either individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be
expected to result in a liability exceeding a Material Environmental Amount;
(B)    take all such actions as are necessary and appropriate so that no
liability with respect to the Environmental Laws may arise which, either
individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a
liability exceeding a Material Environmental Amount; and
(C)    promptly notify the Administrative Agent and provide copies upon receipt
of all material written claims, complaints, notices or inquiries relating to the
condition of the Real Property or compliance with Environmental Laws which,
either individually or in the aggregate could reasonably be expected to result
in a liability exceeding the Material Environmental Amount, and shall cure and
have dismissed with prejudice to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Administrative Agent any actions and proceedings relating to compliance with or
liability pursuant to Environmental Laws which, either individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a liability exceeding the
Material Environmental Amount.
(b)    Prior to acquiring any ownership or leasehold interest in any additional
real property after the Effective Date that could give rise to any Loan Party or
any Subsidiary of any Loan Party being found subject to potential liability
under any Environmental Laws, the Borrower will (i) obtain a written report by a
reputable independent environmental consultant reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent (an “Environmental Consultant”) as to its assessment of the
presence or potential presence of significant levels of any Hazardous Material
on, in, under or about such property, or of other conditions that could give
rise to a potentially significant liability to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary
of any Loan Party under violations of any Environmental Laws relating to such
transaction, and notify the Administrative Agent of such potential transaction,
and (ii) afford the Administrative Agent a reasonable opportunity to review, to
discuss such report with the Environmental Consultant who prepared it and a
knowledgeable representative of the Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall
have the right, but shall not have any duty, to obtain, review, or discuss any
such report.
(c)    If any Lender has formed a reasonable belief that material violations of
Environmental Laws may exist or there may have been a Release on the Real
Property in amounts or under circumstances which, either individually or in the
aggregate, could reasonably be expected to result in a liability exceeding a
Material Environmental Amount, then, at the Administrative Agent’s request, the
Loan Party or the Subsidiary of such Loan Party that owns the Real Property in
question shall perform, or use commercially reasonable efforts to cause to be
performed by any other responsible party, tests, including subsurface testing,
soil and groundwater testing, and other tests which may physically invade the
Real Property pursuant to a scope of work proposed by the Borrower and approved
by the Administrative Agent (the “Environmental Tests”), as the Administrative
Agent, in its reasonable discretion, determines is necessary to (i) investigate
the condition of the Real Property, (ii) protect the security interest created
under the Mortgages and the other Loan Documents and (iii) determine compliance
in all material respects with all Environmental Laws, the provisions of the Loan
Documents and other matters relating thereto. The Loan Parties and Subsidiaries
of any Loan Party shall provide true and accurate copies of the results of the
Environmental Tests to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders upon receipt of
the results. In the event that (I) any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan
Party fails to promptly initiate the Environmental Tests requested by the
Administrative Agent, (II) any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party
fails to provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with the results of
such Environmental Tests within 60 days of the request therefor or such
additional time as the Administrative Agent shall agree in its sole discretion
or (III) the Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders are not reasonably
satisfied with the results of such Environmental Tests, then the Administrative
Agent may undertake to perform or cause to be performed, at the Borrower’s
expense, such Environmental Tests for the account of the Borrower and the other
Loan Parties.
(d)    Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of any Loan Party shall, in
accordance with prudent industry practice, from time to time perform any
investigation, remediation, reclamation or similar action required by such Loan
Party or such Subsidiary of any Loan Party under any applicable Environmental
Laws. Each plan of remediation shall be subject to the prior review of the
Administrative Agent. All such work shall be performed by one or more
Environmental Consultants. The Loan Party or such Subsidiary of the Loan Party
performing, or causing the performance of, the action shall proceed in
reasonable diligence with such investigatory and remedial actions, provided that
in all cases such actions shall (i) be in accordance with the remediation plan
approved by an appropriate Governmental Authority if such approval is required
by applicable Environmental Laws, (ii) be in accordance with all applicable
Environmental Laws and (iii) be performed in a good, safe and workmanlike manner
so as to minimize, to the extent practicable, any impact on the business
conducted at or the value of the Real Property. The Borrower shall pay all costs
actually incurred in connection with such investigatory and remedial activities,
including all power and utility costs, and any and all Taxes or fees that may be
applicable to such activities. The Loan Party or the Subsidiary of such Loan
Party conducting such activities shall promptly provide to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders copies of testing reports and results generated in
connection with such activities. Promptly upon completion of such investigation
and remediation, each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of any Loan Party shall
permanently close all monitoring wells and test holes associated with such
investigation and remediation in compliance with Law, remove all associated
equipment and restore the Real Property to the maximum extent practicable, which
shall include, without limitation, the repair of any surface damage. Within 30
days of demand therefor, if the reasonably estimated funds required to complete
a remediation or similar action addressed by this Section 7.1.6(d) are in excess
of the Material Environmental Amount, the Borrower shall provide the
Administrative Agent with a bond, letter of credit or similar financial
assurance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing that
the necessary funds are available to perform the obligations established by this
clause, unless a bond or similar financial assurance at least in the amount
required by the Administrative Agent is in full force and effect and is
available and is in fact used by the relevant Governmental Authority to pay such
obligations.
(e)    The Administrative Agent, whether or not the Administrative Agent has
acquired possession or title to the Real Property, shall have the right to
undertake any and all actions to remediate the Real Property which any Loan
Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party shall fail to perform or cause to be
performed in accordance with the requirements of this clause.

SECTION 8.1.7    As to Intellectual Property Collateral.
(a)    Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of any Loan Party shall take all
actions necessary to ensure that no Intellectual Property Collateral lapses,
becomes abandoned, dedicated to the public, invalid, unenforceable or subject to
any adverse determination or development (including the institution of, or any
adverse determination or development in, any proceeding in the United States
Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any foreign
counterpart thereof or any court), unless the Borrower shall reasonably and in
good faith determine (and notice of such determination shall have been delivered
to the Administrative Agent) that such lapse, abandonment, dedication,
invalidity, unenforceability, determination or development could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b)    In no event shall any Loan Party, any Subsidiary of any Loan Party or any
of their agents, employees, designees or licensees file an application for the
registration of any Intellectual Property Collateral with the United States
Patent and Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar
office or agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof,
unless it promptly informs the Administrative Agent, and upon request of the
Administrative Agent, executes and delivers any and all agreements, instruments,
documents and papers as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request to
evidence the Administrative Agent’s first priority security interest in such
Intellectual Property Collateral and the goodwill and general intangibles of
each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of any Loan Party relating thereto or
represented thereby.
(c)    Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of any Loan Party will take all
necessary steps, including in any proceeding before the United States Patent and
Trademark Office, the United States Copyright Office or any similar office or
agency in any other country or any political subdivision thereof, to maintain
and pursue any application (and to obtain the relevant registration) filed with
respect to, and to maintain any registration of, the Intellectual Property
Collateral, including the filing of applications for renewal, affidavits of use,
affidavits of incontestability and opposition, interference and cancellation
proceedings and the payment of fees and taxes (except to the extent that
dedication, abandonment or invalidation is permitted under clause (a)).

SECTION 8.1.8    Payment of Taxes and Claims; Deposits for Taxes and Insurance
Premiums.
(a)    Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of any Loan Party will comply in all
material respects with all material permits, licenses, authorizations,
approvals, entitlements, accreditations and privileges of each Governmental
Authority and all Law that are, in each case, binding on any of them, the Real
Property or their other property or assets.
(b)    [reserved].
(c)    Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of any Loan Party will file all
Federal, state and other material tax returns required to be filed in any
jurisdiction and pay all Taxes imposed or levied upon the Collateral or on the
interests created by any Mortgage or with respect to the filing of any Mortgage,
or on the Lien and other interests created by any Mortgage, to the extent such
Taxes have become due and payable and before they have become delinquent. Any
Loan Party and any Subsidiary of any Loan Party may, at its own expense, in good
faith and by appropriate proceedings diligently contest any such Taxes and, in
the event of any such contest, may permit the Taxes so contested to remain
unpaid during the period of such contest and any appeal therefrom; provided that
during such period the Loan Parties shall be in compliance with this Agreement
and that adequate reserves for such Taxes shall have been set aside on their
books in accordance with GAAP.
(d)    In the event of the passage, after the Effective Date, of any Law that
deducts from the value of the Collateral any Tax or changes the taxation of
mortgages, deeds of trust and/or security agreements, or the manner of the
collection of any such Taxes, in each case which has the effect of imposing any
additional payment or expense against any of the Collateral or upon the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, the Borrower shall pay such Tax or promptly
reimburse the Administrative Agent or such Lender for its or their payment.

SECTION 8.1.9    Further Assurances; Additional Collateral; Additional Loan
Parties.
(a)    Each Loan Party and each Subsidiary of any Loan Party will execute any
and all further documents, financing statements, agreements and instruments, and
take all such further actions (including the filing and recording of financing
statements, fixture filings, mortgages, deeds to secure debt and other
documents), which may be required under any Law, or which the Administrative
Agent or the Required Lenders may reasonably request, to comply with the terms
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including causing the Collateral
to be subject to a first priority security interest in favor of the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Parties (subject, in the
case of non-possessory security interests, to the Liens permitted by Section
7.2.3), securing all the Obligations, all at the expense of the Borrower. The
Borrower also agrees to provide to the Administrative Agent, from time to time
upon request, evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent as to
the perfection and priority of the Liens created or intended to be created by
the Loan Documents.
(b)    If any property or asset is acquired by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of
the Borrower (other than a Shell Subsidiary to the extent consistent with the
definition thereof and, if applicable, the definition of Permitted JV Investment
Subsidiary), the Borrower will notify the Administrative Agent promptly thereof
(except such notice shall not be required if the Administrative Agent has a
valid first priority perfected security interest in such property or asset by
virtue of any actions previously taken by or on behalf of the Administrative
Agent) and will cause such property or asset to be subjected to a first priority
security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent (subject, in the case of
non-possessory security interests, to the Liens permitted by Section 7.2.3), and
will take, and cause its Subsidiaries to take, such actions as shall be
necessary or reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent to grant and
perfect such Liens (including the actions described in clause (a) and obtaining
Landlord Estoppel Certificates with respect to assets located on leased Real
Property (unless waived by the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion)
other than Unsecured Real Property).
(c)    Without limiting the above, if any Real Property is acquired on or after
the Effective Date by any Subsidiary Guarantor, subject to the exceptions and
extensions set forth in the last sentence of the definition of “Real Property
Documents” with respect to certain acquisition of Real Property and in Section
7.2.8(e), the Loan Parties will deliver to the Administrative Agent:
(A)    written notice of such acquisition at least forty-five (45) days (or such
shorter notice as the Administrative Agent may agree to in its sole discretion)
prior to the closing of the same; provided that, for the acquisition of
Unsecured Real Property, such written notice of acquisition shall be delivered
at least five (5) days (or such shorter notice as the Administrative Agent may
agree to in its sole discretion) prior to the closing of the acquisition;
(B)    not less than thirty (30) days prior (or such shorter period of time as
the Administrative Agent may agree to in its reasonable discretion) to the
closing of such acquisition of additional Real Property, copies of the
substantially complete form of the Real Property Documents; provided that, for
the acquisition of Unsecured Real Property, such copies shall be delivered
within a reasonable period of time prior to the closing of the acquisition;
(C)    not less than two (2) Business Days prior (or such shorter period of time
as the Administrative Agent may agree to in its reasonable discretion) to the
closing of such acquisition of additional Real Property, copies of the final
form of the Real Property Documents; provided that, for the acquisition of
Unsecured Real Property, such copies shall be delivered within a reasonable
period of time prior to the closing of the acquisition;
(D)    prior to such closing of such acquisition of additional Real Property
copies or originals, as applicable, of the final, fully executed Real Property
Documents; and
(E)    not later than ninety (90) days after such closing of such acquisition of
additional Real Property other than any Unsecured Real Property (or such longer
period of time as the Administrative Agent may agree to in its reasonable
discretion), recorded copies of any Mortgage, Mortgage Amendment, UCC financing
statement or other applicable Real Property Documents.
(For the avoidance of doubt, as provided in the definition of “Real Property
Documents,” the Administrative Agent may elect in its sole discretion to accept
delivery of one or more of the Real Property Documents after the closing of such
acquisition and/or to waive delivery of one or more of the Real Property
Documents.)
(d)    Without limiting the above, if any Subsidiary of any Loan Party is
established or acquired or created by division after the Effective Date, the
Loan Parties will, and will cause their Subsidiaries to, deliver to the
Administrative Agent:
(A)    written notice of such establishment or acquisition or division at least
thirty (30) days (or such shorter notice as the Administrative Agent may agree
to in its sole discretion) prior to the same, which notice shall identify
whether such new Subsidiary shall be a Shell Subsidiary and, if a Shell
Subsidiary, whether such new Subsidiary shall be a Permitted JV Investment
Subsidiary; and
(B)    prior to (i) such event, transaction or date as would result in a Shell
Subsidiary or its parent no longer qualifying as a Shell Subsidiary (other than
as part of a Disposition of the same in compliance with the terms hereof), or
(ii) such establishment or acquisition or division of a Subsidiary not
designated as a Shell Subsidiary (or, in each case, such later time as the
Administrative Agent may agree to in its sole discretion), copies or originals,
as applicable, of the final, fully executed Joinder Documents. For the avoidance
of doubt, this clause (ii) shall not apply in the event a Permitted JV
Investment Subsidiary or a Shell Subsidiary that is a Subsidiary of a Permitted
JV Investment Subsidiary converts into a Permitted Joint Venture in accordance
with the terms hereof.

SECTION 8.1.10    Exercise of Rights under Transaction Documents. Each Loan
Party and each Subsidiary of any Loan Party will enforce in its reasonable
business judgment all of its material rights under each Transaction Document to
which it is a party, including, without limitation, all material indemnification
rights thereunder, and pursue all material remedies that are available to any
Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party with diligence and in good faith
in connection with the enforcement of any such rights.

SECTION 8.1.11    Timber Affirmative Covenants.
(a)    Management. The Timberland shall be operated in accordance with (i)
industry standards for their highest and best use as timberlands, having due
regard to soil conditions, stand arrangements and other factors relevant to the
conduct of sound silvicultural and harvesting practices and (ii) Best Management
Practices.
(b)    Material Timberland Operating Agreement. Each Material Timberland
Operating Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and there shall be no
default, breach or violation existing thereunder by any party thereto and no
event shall occur (other than payments due but not yet delinquent) that would
entitle any party thereto to terminate such Agreement. No Material Timberland
Operating Agreement shall be modified in any respect except as permitted by
Section 7.2.10. No Loan Party or Subsidiary of any Loan Party shall enter into
any agreement relating to the management or operation of any portion of the
Timberland that would constitute a Material Timberland Operating Agreement
without the express consent of the Administrative Agent. No Timber Manager may
assign, delegate or subcontract any of its rights or obligations under any
Material Timberland Operating Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it
is a party without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in its
sole discretion unless (i) such Timber Manager’s obligations under each Material
Timberland Operating Agreement and any other Loan Document to which such Timber
Manager is a party shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Timber Manager shall remain
solely responsible to the parties of each Material Timberland Operating
Agreement and any other Loan Document to which such Timber Manager is a party
for the performance of such obligations, and (iii) the Loan Parties, the
Subsidiaries of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall
continue to deal solely and directly with such Timber Manager in connection with
such Timber Manager’s rights and obligations under each Material Timberland
Operating Agreement and any other Loan Document to which such Timber Manager is
a party.
(c)    Annual Operating Plan. As soon as available and in no event later than
ten (10) Business Days prior to the beginning of each calendar year, the
Borrower will submit to the Lenders on behalf of the Landholders an annual plan
of operations for Timber harvesting (the “Harvest Plan”) for the Timberlands
(which shall be prepared on a per Division basis) consistent with the Harvest
Plan provided by the Borrower pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement and such
other information pursuant to Section 7.1.1(p), for the following calendar year,
which shall be prepared or reviewed by each Timber Manager, the Administrative
Agent, the Field Servicers and other consultants of the Administrative Agent (if
any). The Landholders shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any
material changes in the Harvest Plan, which changes shall be subject to approval
by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion.
(d)    Timber Harvesting and Forest Management Operations. If no Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, each Landholder may cut and
remove its Timber from its Timberland subject to satisfaction of the following
conditions:
(A)    All cutting, logging and removal of Timber shall be in accordance with
Best Management Practices.
(B)    All cutting operations of Timber shall be conducted in such a manner as
to realize in accordance with industry standards the greatest return from the
Timber, to effect suitable utilization of the Timberland, to assure the early
and complete regeneration of stands of desirable Timber and to maximize
development of Timber, both as to growth and quality. All standing Timber shall
be cut as close to the ground as practicable in order to leave the lowest stump,
with jump-butting to be used when necessary. All desirable Timber that is not at
the time being harvested, including young trees, shall be protected against
unnecessary injury from felling, skidding and hauling. All measures reasonably
practicable shall be used in cutting operations to prevent soil erosion
including the proper location of skidways and roads.
(C)    Any intermediate harvesting of Timber shall be carried out in accordance
with industry standards to produce the maximum growth on the maximum number of
stems, consistent with the production in accordance with industry standards in
order to maximize the greatest quantity and quality of merchantable Timber, and
all harvesting shall be carried on in a manner calculated to realize in
accordance with industry standards the maximum investment value in the
Timberland.
(D)    Each Landholder shall keep and maintain at its offices adequate and
accurate books and records of all Timber cut and removed from its Timberland and
the payments received therefrom. Each Landholder shall furnish a record of
cuttings and payments to the Administrative Agent in a form and at such times as
the Administrative Agent may specify from time to time, but not less frequently
than 45 days after each calendar quarter (with a comprehensive year-end summary
with the fourth calendar quarter report and a comparison of such cuttings
against the Harvest Plan for such calendar year). All such reports: (A) shall
include (1) independent information for each Division and (2) the total net
volume of logs scaled by species for each product type; (B) if requested by the
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, shall include (1) the number of
acres of the Timberland and in each Division on which cutting in the form of
clear cutting, seed tree, shelterwood, cover story removal and commercial
thinning was conducted (with the number of acres for each such form of cutting
being separately stated and the location of the acreage for each such form of
cutting being identified according to the descriptions of Divisions used in the
Harvest Plan), (2) the number of acres of the Timberland in which Timber was
lost or destroyed (with the number of acres lost or destroyed by each cause
being separately stated and the location of the acreage lost or destroyed by
each cause being identified), (3) a description of all improvements made on the
Timberland (including, but not limited to, all buildings and capitalized forest
roads and all pre-commercial thinning) and the acres affected by each such
improvement (with the location of such improvements and acres being identified
according to said descriptions), and (4) a description of silviculture
operations, site preparation and replanting (with the number of acres affected,
the location and the type of product replanted); and (C) shall include such
other information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably specify from time
to time with respect to the management of and activities on the Timberland. No
later than 45 days after the end of each calendar year (or such later date as
the Administrative Agent may approve in its sole discretion), each Landholder
shall provide to the Administrative Agent a summary report of cuttings and
payments for the preceding calendar year consistent with the reports delivered
pursuant to the Existing Credit Agreement, including all information on each
quarterly report that was delivered for the preceding calendar year and, to the
extent requested by the Administrative Agent, a comparison of the respective
period’s cutting compared with the Harvest Plan for such period and the
requirements of the Supply Agreements. To the extent requested by the
Administrative Agent, each Landholder shall also furnish to the Administrative
Agent with each such periodic report, maps satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent, showing the location of the Divisions on which the cutting, loss or
destruction, site preparing and replanting and improvements reported on by such
Landholder occurred or were made. Each such quarterly report shall be certified
true and correct by a Financial Officer of the applicable Landholder and each
Timber Manager, including a certification that such Landholder and the
Timberland are in compliance with the Harvest Plan and the requirements of this
Section.
(E)    The Administrative Agent will have the right to inspect the Timberland,
scaling practices, scaling slips and summaries, at any reasonable time and upon
prior notice. Additionally, the Administrative Agent may, at its option, appoint
one or more Field Servicers of its choice pursuant to one or more Field Serving
Agreements to perform loan monitoring services, including conducting property
inspections, monitoring of Timber harvesting, auditing of each Landholder’s
current cruise and inventory data, monitoring Timber volumes, reviewing Timber
management plans and performing other services deemed reasonably necessary by
the Administrative Agent so as to monitor compliance by each Loan Party and each
Subsidiary of any Loan Party with the requirements of this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent may terminate or modify any
Field Servicing Agreement at any time in its sole discretion; provided that, if
no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing when such modification is
entered into, any written modification to any Field Servicing Agreement will be
reasonably acceptable to the Borrower; provided however, that, notwithstanding
the preceding proviso, any written modification shall be reasonably acceptable
to the Borrower, solely to the extent that such modification directly affects
the rights of the Loan Parties hereunder or imposes additional obligations or
liabilities upon any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or their respective
properties. The Borrower agrees to pay all reasonable fees and expenses charged
by such Field Servicers for such loan monitoring services.
(F)    Each Landholder, each other Loan Party and each other Subsidiary of any
Loan Party shall comply in all material respects with all Law concerning the
harvesting of Timber and operation of a tree farm with respect to the
Timberland.
(G)    The remainder of any Timber cut for pine sawtimber or hardwood sawtimber
not utilized through generally accepted sawmilling processes and normally
referred to as topwood may be utilized as pulpwood at the applicable
Landholder’s discretion.
(H)    The cutting restrictions contained in this Section shall not apply to
Timber cut for the purpose of salvaging Timber from loss due to oil, gas or
mineral operations, insect infestation, fire or, with the prior approval of the
Administrative Agent, for the purpose of carrying out sound forestry practices.
(I)    The words “year(s)” and “cutting period(s)” as used in this Agreement
shall mean the period from January 1 to December 31.
(J)    If during any cutting period there is damage to the Timber on the
Timberland by trespass, unauthorized cutting, mining, drilling, right-of-way
clearing, condemnation, fire, disease, insects, storm or other hazards, the
applicable Landholder shall promptly cut Timber or take such other reasonable
and prompt measures as may be necessary to protect Timber from further damage in
accordance with good forestry practices.
(K)    Each Landholder will promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any
damage to the Timberlands affecting more than 1% of the Value of the
Timberlands.
(L)    All reasonable measures shall be taken by each Landholder to insure
proper regeneration of the Timber on the Timberland in order to maximize the
development of the Timber, both as to growth and quality. Any clear-cut area and
each area without adequate seed source shall be artificially regenerated within
24 months or two planting seasons of such cutting (or such later date as the
Administrative Agent may approve in its sole discretion or if delayed for
site-specific environmental or forest health management considerations or legal
requirements), with desirable species using the most superior-type seedlings
available and in any event, using then-current sound forestry practices.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Landholder shall be required to take any
actions pursuant to this clause which is not required by the terms of any Timber
Lease in which it is the lessee.
(M)    Prior to the commencement by any Landholder of any harvesting, mining or
similar activities near any boundary line of the Timberland, such Landholder
shall have said boundaries marked in order to prevent unauthorized harvesting
from occurring. In the event adjoining landowners are conducting timber
harvesting, mining or similar activities on their property near any boundary
line of the Timberland, the Landholder will cause the boundary lines to be
clearly marked to prevent unauthorized cutting. Each Landholder shall cause its
Timberland to be inspected periodically for the purpose of preventing the
unauthorized cutting of Timber.
(N)    Each Landholder shall maintain at all times in accordance with sound
silvicultural practices all reasonable and effective measures to prevent the
development of and to control the spread of disease and insect infestation on
its Timberland, including, the shifting of logging operations, to the extent
economically feasible, to remove diseased or insect-infested Timber and other
Timber threatened with disease or insect infestation and all such other accepted
forest sanitation and control measures as are necessary to prevent the
development and spread of disease and insect infestation.
(e)    Salvage. To the extent economically feasible, all Timber that is dead,
diseased, fallen or otherwise damaged by casualty or as a result of insect
infestation, shall be salvaged and harvested in accordance with sound
silvicultural practices.
(f)    Fire Protection. All measures shall be taken which are reasonably
necessary to protect the Timberland from loss by fire, which measures shall be
at least equal to fire-control practices generally followed on timber producing
property in the same general area, including the adoption of suitable prevention
and control measures, the maintenance of adequate firefighting equipment, the
maintenance of fire lanes where needed, the use of fire patrols, proper disposal
of slash and full cooperation with Governmental Authorities on matters of fire
prevention and control. Each Landholder shall maintain membership in forest
protective associations where any of its Timberland fall within a forest
protective district under the jurisdiction of any such association, and shall
pay as due any forest patrol assessments of any state forester or of such forest
protective association.
(g)    Maintenance of Roads. The existing system of roads and roadways shall be
maintained in such manner as to permit access of mobile firefighting equipment
to substantially all parts of the Timberland.
(h)    Cruise and Appraisals.
(A)    Within 60 days of a request by the Administrative Agent in the exercise
of its reasonable discretion (which request, unless an Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, shall not be made more than once in any period of 12
consecutive months), each Landholder, at the cost and expense of Loan Parties,
shall deliver to the Lenders a Timber cruise of all or any portion of such
Landholder’s Timberland, as the Administrative Agent shall have specified in its
request. Each such Timber cruise shall be done by a third party professional
that is acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that, if no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent may in its sole
discretion accept a Timber cruise conducted by the Landholders or their agents.
The scope of such Timber cruise, as well as the specifications, methods and
assumptions included therein, must be acceptable in form and substance to the
Administrative Agent.
(B)    Each Landholder, at the sole cost and expense of the Loan Parties, shall
deliver to the Lenders (A) an annual appraisal update no later than 60 days
prior to the end of calendar year 2019 and each calendar year end thereafter
(other than with respect to the calendar years described in clause (B)) of such
Landholder’s Timberlands, (B) an appraisal no later than 60 days prior to the
end of calendar year 2018 and each third calendar year end thereafter of such
Landholder’s Timberlands, and (C) an appraisal within 60 days of a request by
the Administrative Agent in the exercise of its reasonable discretion (which
request, unless an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall not be
made more than once in any period of 12 consecutive months) of such Landholder’s
Timberlands or portion thereof as the Administrative Agent shall have specified
in its request. Each such appraisal update or appraisal shall assign independent
values to each Division and any Timber Lease. Each such appraisal update or
appraisal shall be done by Sizemore and Sizemore, Inc. or other nationally
recognized forestry appraisal firm that is acceptable to the Administrative
Agent. The scope of such appraisal update or appraisal, as well as the
specifications, methods and assumptions included therein (including any
“extraordinary assumptions” or “hypothetical conditions” (each as defined by the
Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice)), must be acceptable to
the Administrative Agent.
(i)    Inventory Updates. No later than 60 Business Days after the end of each
calendar year, each Landholder shall deliver to the Lenders an updated
Timberland inventory report in form and scope reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent. Such updated Timberland inventory report shall, among
other things, reflect volumes removed, destroyed or miscalculated pursuant to
the records and/or knowledge of such Landholder and/or each Timber Manager with
a comparison against the Harvest Plan for such calendar year, plus the then
applicable added growth of the Timber volumes since the latest of either (i) the
date of the last inventory report or (ii) such Landholder’s last proprietary
internal inventory system volume estimate, plus a year end summary of the
inventory, plus the projected growth of the Timber volumes for the next calendar
year.
(j)    Reserved.
(k)    Notice of Appraisal or Cruise. Each Landholder shall promptly provide to
the Lenders a copy of any appraisal or cruise related to its Timberland.
(l)    Supply Contracts. Each Landholder or other Loan Party shall furnish the
Administrative Agent all information reasonably requested by the Administrative
Agent with respect to any Supply Agreement (whether or not constituting a
Material Supply Agreement).
(m)    Timber Sale and Release. If no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing or would reasonably be expected to result from the taking of any
actions pursuant to this clause, permission is hereby granted by the Lenders to
the Landholders to cut, or allow others to cut, Timber from its respective
Timberland in accordance with the current Harvest Plan previously approved by
the Administrative Agent and on the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, including, without limitation, clause (d), and so as not to result in
a violation of Section 7.2.4; provided, however, no Timber may be cut from any
portion of the Timberland (other than any portion consisting of recently
acquired, additional Real Property excepted from clause (p) of the definition of
“Real Property Documents” at the option of the Loan Parties or the option of the
Administrative Agent or otherwise as provided herein) for which the
Administrative Agent has not received and approved a current Harvest Plan. If no
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Lien of the Mortgages (and
the related security interests under the U.C.C.) against any cut or severed
Timber (but not the proceeds thereof, it being the intent hereof that the
Administrative Agent’s Lien, on behalf of the Lender Parties, and security
interest continue in the proceeds) shall be released, without any action by any
of the Landholders, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, upon the sooner of:
(i) receipt by the applicable Landholder of full payment therefor and deposit or
credit of such amounts in or to the Revenue Account or another Pledged Account
of the applicable Landholder, or (ii) its removal from the Timberland and after
weight or volume is established and payment therefore assured in a manner
reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent all reasonable fees, costs and expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent in connection with any such partial releases including,
without limitation, legal, appraisal and accounting fees incurred by the
Administrative Agent and all other expense, and recording and title insurance
and title expenses.
(n)    Partial Release Provisions. If no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing or would be reasonably expected to result from the
taking of any actions pursuant to this clause, the Administrative Agent agrees
to provide the applicable Landholder with partial releases of the Mortgages with
respect to the Timberland sold or otherwise disposed of in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement (the portions of the Timberland subject to such partial
release being, the “Release Parcel”), subject to the following terms and
conditions:
(A)    All proceeds of the Release Parcel have been applied as provided in
Section 3.1.2(b) and Section 3.1.3.
(B)    The proposed release of the Release Parcel does not adversely affect the
Administrative Agent’s security interest on any of the other Collateral.
(C)    The proposed release of the Release Parcel does not, in the
Administrative Agent’s judgment, impair in any material respect (in the
determination of the Administrative Agent) the access to, or value, income
producing ability, marketability or operational efficiency of, the remaining
Timberland.
(D)    At the Administrative Agent’s request, the Borrower shall cause the title
insurance company which issued the Administrative Agent’s title insurance policy
in connection with the Mortgage relating to the Release Parcel to issue an
endorsement to such title insurance policy which is in form and substance
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent with respect to the Release Parcel.
(E)    All reasonable out of pocket fees, costs and expenses actually incurred
by the Administrative Agent in connection with the consideration of any request
for a partial release of the Release Parcel (including, without limitation,
legal, appraisal and accounting fees and expenses, and all recording, title
insurance premiums and title expenses) shall be borne solely by the Borrower. In
addition, in connection with each request for a partial release of a Release
Parcel under this clause, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to receive
payment of a reasonable administration fee for each Release Parcel so released.
(o)    Leases. With respect to all Timberland that any Landholder is the lessor
(including the Mineral Agreements), such Landholder shall (i) enforce such
leases in a diligent, commercially reasonable and professional manner and (ii)
furnish to the Administrative Agent upon request but no more than annually, a
rent roll certified by a Financial Officer of such Landholder, which lists the
expiration date, the rental and when paid through, whether any default exists
thereto and any other information reasonably requested by the Administrative
Agent. No Landholder, any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party
shall enter into any lease, as lessor, affecting any portion of the Timberlands
without the prior consent of the Administrative Agent, provided that the
Administrative Agent and the Landholders shall work together to establish forms
and parameters for routine leases so as to avoid the necessity of review of
individual routine leases by the Administrative Agent (it being agreed that
lease transactions documented utilizing such forms that are approved by the
Administrative Agent shall not require the consent of the Administrative Agent
to enter into the same).
(p)    Estoppel Certificates as to Loans. The Borrower, within five (5) Business
Days after request by the Administrative Agent, shall furnish the Lenders from
time to time with a statement, duly acknowledged and certified, setting forth
(i) the amount of the original principal amount of the Loans, (ii) the unpaid
principal amount of the Loans, (iii) the rate of interest on the Loans, (iv) the
date through which all installments of interest, commitment fees and/or
principal have been paid, (v) any offsets or defenses to the payment of the
Obligations, if any and (vi) such other information as shall be reasonably
requested by the Administrative Agent.
(q)    Estoppel Certificates as to Third-Parties. Each Landholder, upon request
by the Administrative Agent, will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain
and furnish (within 30 days after request therefor and, if no Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, not more frequently than once in any
period of 12 consecutive months with respect to each relevant Person) statements
from purchasers of Timber or lessees under coal leases and oil and gas leases,
as to the amount of timber purchased or coal, oil or gas extracted, as the case
may be, the amounts paid therefrom to such Landholder or any other Loan Party or
any Subsidiary of any Loan Party during the preceding 12 months, and such other
information requested by the Administrative Agent.
(r)    Timber Leases, Generally. In addition to making payment of all rent, Tax
and other payments and charges required to be made by any Landholder as tenant
or grantee under and pursuant to the provisions of each Timber Lease, each
Landholder covenants that it will:
(A)    diligently and timely perform and observe all of the terms, conditions
and covenants of each such Timber Lease that are required to be performed and
observed by such Landholder, to the end that all things shall be done which are
necessary to keep unimpaired Timberland rights under each such Timber Lease, and
each Landholder agrees that no release or forbearance of any of its obligations
under any Timber Lease shall release such Landholder from any of its obligations
under this Agreement or any other Loan Agreement with regard to the same;
(B)    promptly notify the Administrative Agent of any default by any Person in
the performance and observance of any of the terms, conditions or covenants to
be performed or observed under each such Timber Lease;
(C)    promptly notify the Administrative Agent of the giving of any notice
under each such Timber Lease of any default of any Landholder in the observance
of any terms, covenants or conditions of each such Timber Lease, and promptly
deliver to the Administrative Agent a true copy of each such notice; and
(D)    except as permitted pursuant to Section 7.1.11(x), not surrender the
leasehold estate or cutting rights that is the subject of each such Timber Lease
nor cause or permit the termination or cancellation of any such Timber Lease
except at the stated end of the lease term or Timber Deed or enter into any
agreement (whether oral or written) modifying, supplementing or amending any
such Timber Lease, in each case without the prior consent of the Administrative
Agent.
(s)    Timber Leases, Corrective Action. The Administrative Agent shall have the
right (but shall not be obligated) to take any action that the Administrative
Agent deems necessary or desirable to prevent or to cure any default by any
Landholder in the performance of or compliance with any Landholder’s obligations
under any Timber Lease. Upon receipt by the Administrative Agent of any notice
of a default by any Landholder under a Timber Lease, the Administrative Agent
may take any action it deems reasonably appropriate in order to cure such
default even though the existence of such default or the nature thereof may be
questioned or denied by any Landholder. Each Landholder hereby expressly grants
to the Administrative Agent, and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall
have, the absolute and immediate right to enter in and upon the Timberland or
any part thereof to such extent and as often as the Administrative Agent, in its
sole discretion, deems necessary or desirable in order to prevent or to cure any
such default by any Landholder under any Timber Lease. The Administrative Agent
may pay and expend such sums of money as the Administrative Agent deems
reasonably necessary for any such purpose, and the Borrower hereby agrees to pay
to the Administrative Agent, promptly upon demand, all such sums so paid and
expended by the Administrative Agent.
(t)    Timber Leases, Further Security. As further security for the repayment of
the Indebtedness secured hereby and for the performance of the covenants
contained herein and in each Timber Lease, each Landholder hereby assigns to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Parties, all of its rights,
privileges and prerogatives as lessee or grantee under each Timber Lease to
terminate, cancel, modify, change, supplement, alter or amend each such Timber
Lease, and any such termination, cancellation, modification, change, supplement,
alteration or amendment of any Timber Lease without the prior consent by the
Administrative Agent shall be void and of no force and effect; provided,
however, that so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Administrative Agent shall have no right to terminate, cancel, modify, change,
supplement, alter or amend any such Timber Lease. Each Landholder represents and
warrants that it has delivered to the Administrative Agent a true and accurate
copy of each Timber Lease, to which it is a party, together with all amendments
thereto if any.
(u)    Timber Lease, No Merger. Unless the Administrative Agent shall otherwise
expressly consent, the fee title to the land leased under any Timber Lease and
the leasehold estate therein held by any Landholder shall not merge but shall
always remain separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of said estates
either in the lessor or in the lessee under the Timber Lease, or in a third
party by purchase or otherwise.
(v)    Timber Lease, Certificates of Estoppel. Each Landholder shall, from time
to time, use its best efforts to obtain from the lessor under any Timber Lease
or any grantor or current owner of the property encumbered by any Timber Deed
such certificates of estoppel with respect to compliance by such Landholder with
the terms of the Timber Lease as may be requested by the Administrative Agent.
(w)    Updated Value of the Timberlands. Upon the sale of any Real Property by
any Landholder for an amount greater than 1.5% of the aggregate Value of the
Timberlands in connection with a single sale or in the aggregate (including all
sales by any Landholder) since the most recently delivered appraisal or
appraisal update or report updating the Value of the Timberlands pursuant to
Section 7.1.11(x) or this Section 7.1.11(w)), promptly but in no event later
than one (1) Business Day after such sale (or such later date as the
Administrative Agent may agree in its sole discretion), the Landholders shall
deliver to the Lenders a report updating the Value of the Timberlands. The Value
of the Timberlands set forth in such reports shall be calculated by reducing the
Value of the Timberlands reported in the most recent appraisal or appraisal
update delivered pursuant to Section 7.1.11(h) or report updating the Value of
the Timberlands pursuant to Section 7.1.11(x) or this Section 7.1.11(w) by the
gross proceeds received by the Landholder with respect to the sale of the Real
Property so sold. Upon the acquisition of any Real Property by any Landholder
for an amount greater than 1.5% of the aggregate Value of the Timberlands in
connection with a single purchase or in the aggregate (including all
acquisitions by all Landholders) since the most recently delivered appraisal or
appraisal update or report updating the Value of the Timberlands pursuant to
Section 7.1.11(x) or this Section 7.1.11(w), the Landholders may deliver to the
Lenders a report updating the Value of the Timberlands; provided that, (i) such
acquisition is permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and (ii) the
Loan Parties have complied with the terms of and all requests of the
Administrative Agent made pursuant to the Loan Documents, including, without
limitation, Sections 7.1.9 and 7.2.8 of this Agreement with respect to such Real
Property. The Value of the Timberlands set forth in such reports shall be
calculated by increasing the Value of the Timberlands reported in the most
recent appraisal or appraisal update delivered pursuant to Section 7.1.11(h) or
report updating the Value of the Timberlands pursuant to Section 7.1.11(x) or
this Section 7.1.11(w) by the Cost Basis of the Real Property acquired.
(x)    Termination of Timber Leases. If no Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing or would be reasonably expected to result from the taking of any
actions pursuant to this clause, permission is hereby granted by the Lenders to
the applicable Landholder to terminate PLM Leases or portions of the LTC Lease
or other Timber Lease (other than Timber Deeds) on the terms and conditions set
forth in this Agreement; provided, that (i) any such termination shall not
result in a violation of Section 7.2.4, (ii) such Landholder shall notify the
Administrative Agent in writing of each such termination, which written
notification will include Timber Lease Termination Proceeds received in
connection with such termination, (iii) all related Timber Lease Termination
Proceeds shall be applied as provided in Section 3.1.2, and (iv) to the extent
Timber Lease Termination Proceeds exceed 1.5% of the aggregate value of the
Timberlands in connection with the termination of a single Timber Lease or a
single portion of the LTC Lease, or in the aggregate (including all terminations
by any Landholder) since the most recently delivered appraisal or appraisal
update or report updating the Value of the Timberlands pursuant to this Section
7.1.11(x) or Section 7.1.11(w), the Landholders shall deliver to the Lenders a
report updating the Value of the Timberlands by reducing the Value of the
Timberlands reported in the most recent appraisal or appraisal update delivered
pursuant to Section 7.1.11(h) or report updating the Value of the Timberlands
pursuant to this Section 7.1.11(x) or Section 7.1.11(w) by the Timber Lease
Termination Proceeds received.

SECTION 8.1.12    Material Accounts.
(a)    Each Loan Party acknowledges and confirms that, on or before the
Effective Date and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, each Loan Party has
and will direct that all amounts payable to them from their account debtors and
other Persons shall be deposited in or credited to a Material Account. Each Loan
Party acknowledges and confirms that, on or before Effective Date and pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement, each Loan Party has established and will
maintain each Material Account in accordance with this Agreement. Each Loan
Party represents, warrants and covenants that except for the Material Accounts
listed on Item 6.24 of the Disclosure Schedules (as updated from time to time
pursuant to the terms hereof), there are no other InvestLine Accounts or
deposit, securities or commodities accounts into which revenues from the
ownership and operation of the Collateral or otherwise are deposited, credited
to or held by any Loan Party or Shell Subsidiary. So long as any Obligations
shall be outstanding, no Loan Party and no Subsidiary of any Loan Party shall
open any accounts for the deposit or credit of revenues from the ownership and
operation of the Collateral or otherwise other than the accounts described in
the immediately preceding sentence.
(b)    Each Loan Party acknowledges that each Account Bank may comply with
instructions originated by the Administrative Agent regarding any Material
Account without further consent by any Loan Party. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, funds, investment property, security entitlements and other financial
assets of any Loan Party that are deposited in or credited to a Material Account
may at the direction of the applicable Loan Party, if no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, be invested in one or more Cash
Equivalent Investments; provided, that under no circumstances shall the Lender
Parties be liable for any losses that may be incurred by any Loan Party in the
making of any such Cash Equivalent Investments. All interest, dividends or other
earnings which accrue on any Material Account shall be taxable to the applicable
Loan Party.
(c)    To secure the full and punctual payment and performance of all the
Obligations, each of the Borrower and Subsidiary Guarantors hereby grant to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Parties, a continuing
security interest in and to the Material Account Collateral, which shall be a
first priority continuing security interest. To secure the full and punctual
payment and performance of all the Obligations, CatchMark Timber hereby grants
to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lender Parties, a first
priority continuing security interest in and to the Material Account Collateral,
which shall be a first priority continuing security interest.
The Administrative Agent and the Account Bank, as agent for the Administrative
Agent on behalf of the Lender Parties, shall have with respect to the Material
Account Collateral, in addition to the rights and remedies herein set forth, all
of the rights and remedies available to a secured party under the U.C.C., as if
such rights and remedies were fully set forth herein.
(d)    In addition to the rights and remedies provided in Article VIII and
elsewhere herein, if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Administrative Agent shall have all rights and remedies pertaining to the
Material Account Collateral as are provided for in any of the Loan Documents,
the U.C.C. and other Law, including liquidating the same and applying all
proceeds therefrom to the payment of the Obligations as set forth in Section
8.7. Without limiting the foregoing, upon and at all times after the occurrence
and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative Agent in
its sole and absolute discretion, may use the Material Account Collateral (or
any portion thereof) for any purpose, including but not limited to any
combination of the following: (i) payment of any of the Obligations, in the
order set forth in Section 8.7; provided, that such application of funds shall
not cure or be deemed to cure any Default or Event of Default but shall reduce
the Obligations to the extent of any such repayment; and (ii) reimbursement of
the Administrative Agent or any Lender for any losses or expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable legal fees) suffered or incurred as a result of
such Event of Default.
(e)    Each Loan Party hereby irrevocably constitute and appoints the
Administrative Agent (and its agents and designees) as such Person’s true and
lawful attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest and with full power of
substitution, to execute, acknowledge and deliver at any time any instruments
and to exercise and enforce every right, power, remedy, option and privilege of
such Loan Party with respect to the Material Account Collateral, and do in the
name, place and stead of such Loan Party, all such acts, things and deeds for
and on behalf of and in the name of such Loan Party, which such Loan Party is
required to do hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, or which any Account
Bank or the Administrative Agent (or its agents or designees) may deem necessary
or desirable, to more fully vest the in the Administrative Agent (or its agents
or designees) the rights and remedies provided for in this Section. The
foregoing powers of attorney are irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Such
authority in favor of the Administrative Agent (and its agents and designees)
pursuant to this Section shall include the right to (i) take control in any
manner of any item of payment in respect of the Material Account Collateral or
otherwise received in or for deposit in or credit to any Material Account, (ii)
have access to any lockbox or postal box into which remittances from account
debtors or other obligors in respect of account receivables or other proceeds of
Collateral are sent or received, (iii) endorse any Loan Party’s name upon any
item of payment constituting Material Account Collateral or otherwise received
by the Administrative Agent (or its agents or designees) or any Lender and
deposit or credit the same in any Material Account, (iv) endorse any Loan
Party’s name upon any chattel paper, document, instrument, invoice or similar
document or agreement relating to any account receivable or any goods pertaining
thereto or any other Collateral, including any warehouse or other receipts, or
bills of lading and other negotiable or non-negotiable documents, and (v) sign
any Loan Party’s name on any verification of account receivables and notices
thereof to account debtors or any secondary obligors or other obligors in
respect thereof. Each Loan Party hereby releases the Administrative Agent (or
its agents or designees) and the Lenders and their respective officers,
employees and designees from any liabilities arising from any act or acts under
this power of attorney and in furtherance thereof, whether of omission or
commission, except as a result of any such Person’s or any Lender’s own gross
negligence or willful misconduct as determined pursuant to a final
non-appealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(f)    Each Loan Party agrees that at any time and from time to time, at the
expense of the Borrower, each Loan Party will promptly execute and deliver all
further instruments and documents, and take all further action, that may be
reasonably necessary or desirable, or that the Administrative Agent or any
Lender may reasonably request, in order to perfect and protect any security
interest granted in the Material Account Collateral or purported to be granted
or to enable the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise and enforce its
rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any Material Account Collateral.
In the event of any change in name, identity or structure of any Loan Party or
as otherwise reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent from time to time,
each such Person, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly notify the
Administrative Agent and take all actions reasonably requested by the
Administrative Agent in order to maintain its first priority perfected security
interest in the Material Account Collateral.

The Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledges and confirms that, on or
before the Effective Date and pursuant to the terms of this Agreement,
Timberlands II has established and will maintain one or more accounts or

distributions or other payments to its shareholders permitted under Section
7.2.6(x) or (y) which have been declared but not made.

SECTION 8.1.16    Farm Credit Equity and Security.
(a)    So long as any Farm Credit Lender is a Lender hereunder, the Borrower
will (i) maintain its status as an entity eligible to borrow from such Farm
Credit Lenders, and (ii) acquire equity in such Farm Credit Lenders in such
amounts and at such times as each Farm Credit Lender may require in accordance
with its bylaws and capital plan (as each may be amended or otherwise modified
from time to time), except that the maximum amount of equity that the Borrower
may be required to purchase in each Farm Credit Lender in connection with the
Loans made by such Farm Credit Lender may not exceed the maximum amount
permitted by the bylaws and capital plan of such Farm Credit Lender at the time
this Agreement is entered into. The Borrower acknowledges receipt of a copy of

Farm Credit Lender acquired in connection with its patronage loan from such Farm
Credit Lenders (the “Farm Credit Equities”) as well as capitalization
requirements, and agrees to be bound by the terms thereof.
(b)    Each party hereto acknowledges that the bylaws and capital plan (as each
may be amended from time to time) of each Farm Credit Lender shall govern (i)
the rights and obligations of the parties with respect to the Farm Credit
Equities and any patronage refunds or other distributions made on account
thereof or on account of the Borrower’s patronage with such Farm Credit Lender,
(ii) the Borrower’s eligibility for patronage distributions from each Farm
Credit Lender (in the form of equities and cash) and (iii) patronage

(c)    Each party hereto acknowledges that pursuant to the Farm Credit Act of
1971 each applicable Farm Credit Lender has a statutory first Lien on its Farm
Credit Equities, as the case may be, that the Borrower may now own or hereafter
acquire, which statutory Lien shall be for each applicable Farm Credit Lender’s
sole and exclusive benefit. The Farm Credit Equities, as the case may be, shall
not constitute or form a part of the Collateral. To the extent that any of the
Loan Documents create a Lien on the Farm Credit Equities of the applicable Farm
Credit Lender or on patronage accrued by the applicable Farm Credit Lender for
the account of the Borrower or proceeds thereof, such Lien shall be for each
applicable Farm Credit Lender’s sole and exclusive benefit and no other Lender
Party shall have any right, title or interest therein. Neither the Farm Credit
Equities nor any accrued patronage thereon shall be offset against the
Obligations, except that, in the event of an Event of Default, each applicable
Farm Credit Lender may elect, solely at its discretion, to apply the cash
portion of any patronage distribution or retirement of equity to amounts owed to
such Farm Credit Lender under this Agreement, whether or not such amounts are
currently due and payable. The Borrower acknowledges that any corresponding tax
liability associated with such application is the sole responsibility of the
Borrower. No applicable Farm Credit Lender shall have any obligation to retire
its Farm Credit Equities at any time, including during the continuance of any
Default or Event of Default, either for application to the Obligations or
otherwise.
(d)    The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it shall not receive any
patronage with respect to the Farm Credit Equities of AgSouth purchased by it.

in accordance with the terms hereof.
(b)    The Borrower will, and will cause each of the other Loan Parties that is
a Qualified ECP Guarantor to, provide such funds or other credit support to each
other Loan Party as may be needed by such Loan Party from time to time to honor
all of such Loan Party’s obligations under the Guaranty, including, obligations
to guaranty Obligations constituting Swap Obligations that are permitted Rate
Protection Agreements under this Agreement that would, in the absence of the
agreement in this Section 7.1.17(b) or Section 9.3(d), otherwise constitute
Excluded Swap Obligations (but in each case, only up to the maximum amount of
such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering such Qualified ECP
Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 7.1.17(b) or Section 9.3(d) or

each such obligation unless the Administrative Agent has agreed in its sole

the Borrower declare all or any portion of the outstanding principal amount of
the Loans and other Obligations to be due and payable and the Commitments (if

demand or presentment) the full unpaid amount of such Loans and other
Obligations which shall be so declared due and payable shall become immediately
due and payable and the Commitments shall terminate.

SECTION 9.4    Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing,
the Administrative Agent may exercise, in addition to all other rights and
remedies granted to it in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and in any
other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the
Obligations or the Guaranteed Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured
party under the U.C.C. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent without demand of performance or other demand, presentment,
protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required by Law
or referred to below) to or upon the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any
Subsidiary of any Loan Party or any other Person (each and all of which demands,
presentments, protests, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in
such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the
Collateral, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give
option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the
Collateral or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one
or more parcels or as an entirety at public or private sale or sales, at any
exchange, broker’s board or office of the Administrative Agent or elsewhere upon
such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may
deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of
any credit risk. The Administrative Agent shall have the right upon any such
public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by Law, upon any such private
sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold, free
of any right or equity of redemption in any Loan Party, which right or equity is
hereby waived or released. The Borrower and each other Loan Party further agree,
at the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble, or caused to be assembled,
the Collateral and make it available to the Administrative Agent at places which
the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at the Borrower’s
premises or elsewhere. The Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of
any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale,
after deducting all costs and expenses of every kind incurred therein or
incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Collateral or in any way
relating to the Collateral or the rights of the Lender Parties hereunder,
including attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part
of the Obligations, in the order set forth in Section 8.7, and only after such
application and after the payment by the Administrative Agent of any other
amount required or permitted by any provision of Law, including without
limitation Section 9-615(a)(3) of the U.C.C., need the Administrative Agent
account for the surplus, if any, to the Borrower or the other Loan Parties. If
any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Collateral shall be
required by Law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at
least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition. The Borrower shall
remain liable for any deficiency (plus accrued interest thereon as contemplated
pursuant to Article III) if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the
Collateral are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the fees and
disbursements of any attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent to collect
such deficiency. The rights, powers and remedies of the Administrative Agent and
the Lender Parties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be
cumulative and not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have against the Borrower or the other
Loan Parties pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing
at Law or in equity or otherwise.

SECTION 9.5    Foreclosure on Collateral. If any Event of Default shall occur
and be continuing, the Administrative Agent shall have, in addition to all
rights and remedies provided for in the U.C.C. and under Law, all such rights
(including the right of foreclosure) with respect to the Collateral as provided
in the Pledge Agreement, the Security Agreement, the Mortgages, the Mortgage
Amendments and each other Loan Document.

SECTION 9.6    Appointment of Administrative Agent as Attorney-in-Fact. The
Borrower hereby constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent as the
Borrower’s attorney-in-fact with full authority in the place and stead of the
Borrower and in the name of the Borrower, from time to time in the
Administrative Agent’s discretion while any Event of Default is continuing, to
take any action and to execute any instrument that the Administrative Agent may
deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and any
other Loan Document, including to: (a) ask, demand, collect, sue for, recover,
compound, receive and give acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become
due under or in respect of any of the Collateral; (b) enforce the obligations of
obligors of account receivables or other Person obligated on the Collateral and
enforce the rights of the Borrower with respect to such obligations and to any
property that secures such obligations; (c) file any claims or take any action
or institute any proceedings that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or
desirable for the collection of or to preserve the value of any of the
Collateral or otherwise to enforce the rights of the Administrative Agent and
the other Lender Parties with respect to any of the Collateral; (d) pay or
discharge Taxes or Liens levied or placed upon or threatened against the
Collateral in amounts necessary to discharge the same as determined by the
Administrative Agent in its sole discretion (all of such payments made by the
Administrative Agent shall become Obligations, due and payable immediately
without demand); (e) sign and endorse any invoices, freight or express bills,
bills of lading, storage or warehouse receipts, assignments, verifications and
notices in connection with the account receivables, chattel paper or general
intangibles and other documents relating to the Collateral; (f) take any act
required of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and
(g) sell, transfer, pledge, make any agreement with respect to or otherwise deal
with any of the Collateral as fully and completely as though the Administrative
Agent were the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and to do, at the
Administrative Agent’s option and the Borrower’s expense, at any time, all acts
and things that the Administrative Agent deems necessary to protect, preserve or
realize upon the Collateral. The Borrower hereby ratifies and approves all acts
of the Administrative Agent made or taken pursuant to this Section 8.6, agrees
to cooperate with the exercise by the Administrative Agent in the exercise of
its rights pursuant to this Section 8.6 and shall not, either directly or
indirectly, take or fail to take any action which could impair, in any respect,
any action taken by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 8.6. The
appointment pursuant to this Section 8.6 of the Administrative Agent as the
Borrower’s attorney and the Administrative Agent’s rights and powers are coupled
with an interest and are irrevocable, so long as any of the Commitments
hereunder shall be in effect and until payment in full in cash of all
Obligations.

SECTION 9.7    Payments Upon Acceleration.
After the occurrence of an Event of Default and the acceleration of the
Obligations pursuant to Section 8.2 or 8.3, the Administrative Agent shall apply
all payments in respect of the Obligations and all proceeds of Collateral to the
Obligations in the following order:
(a)    first, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees, expenses or indemnities
then due to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders or Swingline Lender
(including, without limitation, fees and expenses referred to in Section 11.3 or
11.4), whether or not the same is allowed in any bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding of any Loan Party;
(b)    second, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees, expenses or
indemnities then due to the Lenders, whether or not the same is allowed in any
bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding of any Loan Party;
(c)    third, pro rata to interest due in respect of any Swingline Loan;
(d)    fourth, to pay interest due in respect of the Loans (other than Swingline
Loans), whether or not the same is allowed in any bankruptcy or insolvency
proceeding of any Loan Party;
(e)    fifth, to pay, pro rata to the outstanding principal amount of any
Swingline Loan;
(f)    sixth, to pay, on a pari passu basis, the principal outstanding with
respect to the Loans and Obligations in respect of Rate Protection Agreements in
which the counterparty is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender;
(g)    seventh, to pay, on a pari passu basis, the principal outstanding with
respect to the Obligations in respect of Secured Bank Products in which the
counterparty is a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender;
(h)    eighth, to pay all other Obligations; and
(i)    ninth, to pay who may be lawfully entitled thereto.
In carrying out the foregoing, (i) amounts received shall be applied in the
numerical order of each category and shall only be applied to the next
succeeding category after all amounts in the preceding category have been paid
in full in cash and (ii) amounts owing to each relevant Lender Party in clauses
(b) through (g) shall be allocated to the payment of the relevant Obligations
ratably, based on the proportion of each Lender Party’s interest in the
aggregate outstanding Obligations described in each such relevant clause.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, amounts received from any Loan Party shall not be
applied to Obligations that comprise Excluded Swap Obligations of such Loan
Party (it being understood that in the event that any amount is applied to
Obligations other than Excluded Swap Obligations as a result of this sentence,
the Administrative Agent shall make such adjustments as it determines in its
sole discretion are appropriate to distributions pursuant to clause (f) above
from amounts received from “eligible contract participants” under the Commodity
Exchange Act or any regulations promulgated thereunder to ensure, as nearly as
possible, that the proportional aggregate recoveries with respect to Obligations
described in clause (f) above by the holders of any Excluded Swap Obligations
are the same as the proportional aggregate recoveries with respect to other
Obligations pursuant to clause (f) above ).
Amounts distributed with respect to any Obligations attributable to clauses (b)
and (c) of the definition thereof shall be equal to the lesser of (a) the
applicable amount of such Obligation last reported to the Administrative Agent
or (b) the actual amount of such Obligation as calculated by the methodology
reported to the Administrative Agent for determining the amount due. The
Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to calculate the amount to be
distributed with respect to any such Obligations, but may rely upon written
notice of the amount (setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation) from the
applicable Lender or its Affiliate providing such Secured Bank Products or Rate
Protection Agreement. In the absence of such notice, the Administrative Agent
may assume the amount to be distributed is the amount of such Obligations last
reported to it.

ARTICLE X
GUARANTY

SECTION 10.1    Guaranty
(a)    Each of the Guarantors hereby jointly and severally guarantees to each
Lender Party and each other Indemnified Party, as primary obligor and not as

(whether at stated maturity, as a mandatory prepayment, by acceleration, as a
mandatory Cash Collateralization or otherwise) strictly in accordance with the
terms hereof. The Guarantors hereby further agree that if any of the Guaranteed

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 Guaranteed Obligations, the same

(b)    Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein or in any
other Loan Document or any Rate Protection Agreement or in any document or
agreement relating to or on account of any Secured Bank Product, (i) the
obligations of each Guarantor under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents

Guarantor under this Agreement with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations of the
other Loan Parties, including the obligation of the Borrower to pay the Loan,
are contingent upon the Borrower or such other Loan Party failing to pay or
perform the applicable obligation or the occurrence of any Default or Event of
Default described in Section 8.1.7.
(c)    The obligations of the Guarantors under Section 9.1(a) are joint and
several, absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness,
validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or Rate
Protection Agreements or documents or agreements relating to or on account of
any Secured Bank Product, 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 Guaranteed Obligations, and, to the
fullest extent permitted by Law, irrespective of any Law or 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 9.1(c)
that the obligations of the Guarantors hereunder shall be absolute and
unconditional under any and all circumstances. 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 any Guarantor hereunder, which shall remain absolute and
unconditional as described above:
(A)    at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Guarantor, the
time for any performance of or compliance with any of the Guaranteed 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 Loan
Documents, any Rate Protection Agreement, any document or agreements relating to
or on account of any Secured Bank Product or any other agreement or instrument
referred to in the Loan Documents or such Rate Protection Agreements or such
documents or agreements relating to or on account of any Secured Bank Product

(C)    the maturity of any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be accelerated,
or any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be modified, supplemented or amended
in any respect, or any right under any of the Loan Documents, any Rate
Protection Agreement, any document or agreement relating to or on account of any
Secured Bank Product or any other agreement or instrument referred to in the
Loan Documents or such Rate Protection Agreements or such documents or
agreements relating to or on account of any Secured Bank Product shall be waived
or otherwise modified or any other guarantee of any of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any security therefor shall be added, 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
other Lender Party or Indemnified Party as security for any of the Guaranteed
Obligations shall fail to attach or be perfected;
(E)    any of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be determined to be void or
voidable (including, without limitation, for the benefit of any creditor of any
Guarantor) or shall be subordinated to the claims of any Person (including,
without limitation, any creditor of any Guarantor);
(F)    any defense, set-off or counterclaim which may at any time be available
to or be asserted by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against any Lender
Party or other Indemnified Party; or
(G)    any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a defense
available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the Borrower, any other Loan
Party or such Guarantor, including as a result of any proceedings of the nature
referred to in Section 8.1.7.
With respect to its obligations hereunder, each Guarantor hereby expressly
waives diligence, promptness, presentment, demand of payment, protest, notice of
acceptance and all other notices whatsoever, and any requirement that the
Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party or Indemnified Party exhaust any
right, power or remedy or proceed against any Person under any of the Loan
Documents, any Rate Protection Agreement, any documents or agreements relating
to or on account of any Secured Bank Product or any other agreement or
instrument referred to in the Loan Documents or such Rate Protection Agreements
or such documents or agreements relating to or on account of any Secured Bank
Product, or against any other Person under any other guarantee of, or security
for, any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
(d)    Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives to the extent permitted by Law
and until such time as all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been paid in
full in cash and the Commitments have irrevocably terminated, any claim or other
rights which it may now or hereafter acquire against the Borrower or any other
Loan Party that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of
such Guarantor’s obligations under this Section 9.1 or any other Loan Document
or any Rate Protection Agreement or any documents or agreements relating to or
on account of any Secured Bank Product, including any right of subrogation,
reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification, and any right to
participate in any claim or remedy of any Lender Party or other Indemnified
Party against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any collateral which any
Lender Party or other Indemnified Party now has or hereafter acquires, whether
or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity, or under contract or Law.
If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the preceding
sentence, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to such Guarantor for
the benefit of, and held in trust for, the Lender Parties and other Indemnified
Parties, and shall forthwith be paid to the Administrative Agent on behalf of
the Lender Parties and other Indemnified Parties to be credited and applied
against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured. Each Guarantor
acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the
financing arrangements contemplated by this Agreement and that the waiver set
forth in this Section 9.1(d) is knowingly made in contemplation of such
benefits.
(e)    The obligations of the Guarantors under this Section 9.1 shall continue
to be effective or shall be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if and
to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in
respect of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise
restored by any holder of any of the Guaranteed 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 other
Lender Party or Indemnified Party on demand for all costs and expenses
(including, without limitation, the reasonable, documented or invoiced,
out-of-pocket fees, charges and disbursements of counsel) incurred by the
Administrative Agent or such Lender Party or Indemnified Party 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 Debtor Relief Laws.
(f)    Each Guarantor agrees that such Guarantor shall have no right of recourse
to security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, except through the exercise
of rights of subrogation pursuant to Section 9.1(d) and through the exercise of
rights of contribution pursuant to Section 9.3.
(g)    The Guarantors agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by Law, as
between the Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent, the other
Lender Parties and Indemnified Parties, on the other hand, the Guaranteed
Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable as provided in
Article VIII (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable
in the circumstances provided in Section 8.2) for purposes of Section 9.1(a)
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
declaration (or preventing any of the Guaranteed Obligations from becoming
automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the
event of such declaration (or any of the Guaranteed Obligations being deemed to
have become automatically due and payable), the Guaranteed Obligations (whether
or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and
payable by the Guarantors for purposes of Section 9.1(a). The Subsidiary
Guarantors acknowledge and agree that their obligations hereunder are secured in
accordance with the terms of the Security Agreement, Pledge Agreement,
Mortgages, and the other Loan Documents and that the Lender Parties may exercise
their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.
(h)    The guarantee in this Section 9.1 is a guaranty of payment and not of
collection, is a continuing guarantee, and shall apply to all of the Guaranteed
Obligations whenever arising.

SECTION 10.2    [Reserved].

SECTION 10.3    Right of Contribution; Keepwell.
(a)    The Guarantor agrees among themselves that, in connection with payments
made hereunder corresponding to Guaranteed Obligations, each Guarantor shall
have contribution rights against the other Guarantors as permitted under Law.
Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to
the obligations of such Guarantors under the Loan Documents and no Guarantor
shall exercise such rights of contribution until all of the Guaranteed
Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments have terminated.
(b)    The Guarantors agree among themselves that, in connection with payments
made hereunder corresponding to the Guaranteed Obligations, each Guarantor shall
have contribution rights against the other Guarantors as permitted under Law.
Such contribution rights shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to
the obligations of such Guarantor under the Loan Documents and no Guarantor
shall exercise such rights of contribution until all of the Guaranteed
Obligations have been paid in full and the Commitments have terminated.
(c)    Each of the Borrower and the Guarantors that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor
at the time any Guaranty in Section 9.1(a) by any Guarantor that is not then an
“eligible contract participant” under the Commodity Exchange Act (a “Specified
Loan Party”) or the grant of a security interest under the Loan Documents by any
such Specified Loan Party, in either case, becomes effective with respect to any
Swap Obligation, hereby jointly and severally absolutely, unconditionally and
irrevocably guarantees to provide such funds or other support to each Specified
Loan Party with respect to such Swap Obligation as may be needed by such
Specified Loan Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under the
Loan Documents to which such Loan Party is a party with respect to such Swap
Obligations which are permitted Rate Protection Agreements under this Agreement
that would, in the absence of the agreement in Section 7.1.17(b) or this Section
9.3(c), otherwise constitute Excluded Swap Obligations (but, in each case, only
up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without
rendering such Loan Party’s obligations and undertakings under Section 7.1.17(b)
or this Section 9.3(c) voidable under Law relating to fraudulent conveyance or
fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount). The guaranty of the
Borrower and the Guarantors under this Section 9.3(c) shall remain in full force
and effect until the Obligations and Guaranteed Obligations have been paid and
performed in full and the Commitments have expired or been terminated. The
Borrower and the Guarantors intend this Section 9.3(c) to constitute, and this
Section 9.3(c) shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of,
and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Loan
Party with respect to the permitted Rate Protection Agreements for all purposes
of the Commodity Exchange Act.

ARTICLE XI
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

SECTION 11.1    Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the Issuing
Lenders on behalf of itself and its Affiliates holding Obligations pursuant to
clause (b) or (c) of the definition of “Obligations” hereby irrevocably appoints
CoBank to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such
actions on its behalf and to exercise such powers as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with such actions
and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The provisions of this Section
10.1 are solely for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Lenders and its
Affiliates holding Obligations pursuant to clauses (b) and (c) of the definition
of “Obligations”, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party nor any of
their Subsidiaries shall have rights as a third-party beneficiary of any of such
provisions. It is understood and agreed that the use of the term “agent” herein
or in any other Loan Documents (or any other similar term) 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 Law. Instead such
term is used as a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect
only an administrative relationship between contracting parties.

SECTION 11.2    Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative
Agent hereunder shall have the same rights and powers in its capacity as a
Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent, and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person
serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such
Person and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, own
securities of, act as the financial advisor or in any other advisory capacity
for, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the
Administrative Agent hereunder and without any duty to account therefor to the
Lenders.

SECTION 11.3    Exculpatory Provisions.
(a)    The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or obligations except
those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, and its duties
hereunder shall be administrative in nature. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(A)    shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless
of whether a Default has occurred and is continuing;
(B)    shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any
discretionary powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly
contemplated hereby or by the other Loan Documents that the Administrative Agent
is required to exercise as directed in writing by the Required Lenders (or such
other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided for
herein or in the other Loan Documents); provided that the Administrative Agent
shall not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of
its counsel, may expose the Administrative Agent to liability or that is
contrary to any Loan Document or Law, including for the avoidance of doubt, any
action that may be in violation of the automatic stay under any Debtor Relief
Laws or that may affect a forfeiture, modification or termination of property of
a Defaulting Lender in violation of any Debtor Relief Laws; and
(C)    shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan
Documents, have any duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to
disclose, any information relating to the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that
is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as the Administrative Agent
or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it (i) with the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or
such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the
Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be necessary, under the
circumstances as provided in Section 11.1 and Article VIII), or (ii) in the
absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment. The
Administrative Agent shall be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless
and until notice describing such Default is given to the Administrative Agent in
writing by the Borrower or a Lender.
(c)    Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to
ascertain or inquire into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in
or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, (ii) the
contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered hereunder or
thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or
observance of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set
forth herein or therein or the occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity,
enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any other agreement, instrument or document, or (v) the satisfaction
of any condition set forth in Article V or elsewhere herein, other than to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to Administrative
Agent.

SECTION 11.4    Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall
be entitled to rely upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon,
any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement, instrument, document or
other writing (including facsimile, e-mail, Platform, Internet or intranet
website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have
been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The
Administrative Agent also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by
telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and shall
not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any
condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of
Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or
an Issuing Lender, the Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is
satisfactory to such Lender or Issuing Lender unless the Administrative Agent
shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making
of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Administrative Agent
may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower),
independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be
liable for any action taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of
any such counsel, accountants or experts.

SECTION 11.5    Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any
and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any
other Loan Document by or through any one or more sub‑agents appointed by the
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent may
perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or
through their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this
Section 10.5 shall apply to any such sub‑agent and to the Related Parties of the
Administrative Agent and any such sub‑agent, and shall apply to their respective
activities in connection with the syndication of the Commitments as well as
activities as the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall not be
responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any sub-agents except to the
extent that a court of competent jurisdiction determines in a final and
nonappealable judgment that the Administrative Agent acted with gross negligence
or willful misconduct in the selection of such sub-agents.

SECTION 11.6    Resignation of Administrative Agent
(a)    The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation
to the Lenders and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation,
the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to
appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the
Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after
the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such
earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation
Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative
Agent. Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall
become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective
Date.
(b)    If the Person serving as the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender
pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Required Lenders may, to
the extent permitted by Law, by notice in writing to Borrower and such Person
remove such Person as the Administrative Agent and, in consultation with
Borrower, appoint a successor. If no such successor shall have been so appointed
by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days
(or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal
Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in
accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
(c)    With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective
Date (as applicable) (i) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the Issuing Lenders under any
of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall
continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor
Administrative Agent is appointed) and (ii) except for any indemnity payments
owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments,
communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the
Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender and Issuing
Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a
successor Administrative Agent as provided for above. Upon the acceptance of a
successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall
succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and
duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to
indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and
the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its
duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents. The fees
payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as
those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower
and such successor. After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s
resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the
provisions of this Section and Sections 11.3 and 11.4 shall continue in effect
for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub‑agents
and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent
was acting as Administrative Agent.

SECTION 11.7    Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each
Lender and Issuing Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their
Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has deemed
appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement. Each Lender and Issuing Lender also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other
Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and
information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its
own decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any related agreement or any document furnished
hereunder or thereunder.

SECTION 11.8    No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, none of the Joint Lead Arrangers, the Bookrunner, the
Documentation Agent or the Syndication Agent listed on the cover page hereof
(the “Joint Lead Arrangers”, the “Bookrunner”, the “Documentation Agent” and the
“Syndication Agent”, respectively) shall have any powers, duties or
responsibilities under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except
in its capacity, as applicable, as the Administrative Agent or a Lender
hereunder.

SECTION 11.9    Administrative Agent May File Proof of Claims. In case of the
pendency of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Laws or any other judicial
proceeding relative to any Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any Loan Party, the
Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or any
Obligations 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 Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered (but not
obligated) 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 Loans and all other Obligations 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, the Issuing Lenders and
the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the
Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other
amounts due the Lenders, the Issuing Lenders and the Administrative Agent under
Sections 11.3 and 11.4) 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 and Issuing Lender and each Affiliate holding Obligations pursuant
to clause (b) or (c) of the definition of “Obligations,” 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, Issuing
Lenders and such Affiliates, to pay to the Administrative Agent any amount due
for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Administrative Agent under Sections 11.3, 11.4 and 10.12.

SECTION 11.10    Agency for Perfection; Enforcement of Security by
Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and each Lender and Issuing
Lender hereby appoint each other Lender as agent for the purpose of perfecting
the Administrative Agent’s security interest in assets which, in accordance with
Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code in any applicable jurisdiction, can be
perfected only by possession or control. Should any Lender or Issuing Lender
(other than the Administrative Agent) obtain possession of any such Collateral,
such Lender or Issuing Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent thereof,
and, promptly upon the Administrative Agent’s request therefor, shall deliver
such Collateral (or control thereof) to the Administrative Agent or in
accordance with the Administrative Agent’s instructions without affecting any
Lender’s or Issuing Lenders’ right to set-off. Each Lender (for itself and its
Affiliates) and Issuing Lender agrees that it will not have any right
individually to enforce or seek to enforce any Loan Document regarding the
Collateral or to realize upon any collateral security for the Loans or the other
Obligations, it being understood and agreed that such rights and remedies may be
exercised only by the Administrative Agent.

SECTION 11.11    Collateral and Guaranty Matters.
(a)    The Lenders and their respective Affiliates irrevocably authorize the
Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,
(A)    to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (A) upon termination of all
Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent
indemnification obligations as to which no claim has been made and Rate
Protection Agreements and Secured Bank Products as to which other arrangements
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Lender on behalf of
itself or its Affiliate shall have been made) and the expiration or termination
of all Letters of Credit (other than Letters of Credit as to which other
arrangements satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing
Lender shall have been made), (B) that is sold or otherwise Disposed of or to be
sold or otherwise Disposed of as part of or in connection with any sale or other
Disposition permitted under the Loan Documents, (C) constituting property in
which the Borrower or any other Loan Party owned no interest at the time the
security interest and/or Lien was granted, (D) constituting a Timber Deed or
property leased to the Borrower or any other Loan Party under a Timber Deed or
lease which has expired or been terminated in a transaction permitted under this
Agreement or is about to expire and which has not been, and is not intended by
the Borrower or any other Loan Party to be, renewed or extended, (E) if approved
by the Required Lenders or, if required by Section 11.1, each Lender, if
applicable; provided that, upon the request of any Borrower, the Administrative
Agent, in its sole discretion, may provide a non-disturbance and attornment
agreement or subordinate the Administrative Agent’s Lien in Real Property
subject to a Mortgage to easements, rights of way and similar restrictions where
any Loan Party is permitted to create such easement, right of way or similar
restriction pursuant to Section 7.2.3(d), or (F) constituting property
designated as Unsecured Real Property in compliance with the proviso in the
definition of “Unsecured Real Property”;
(B)    to subordinate any Lien on any property granted to or held by the
Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien permitted
by Section 7.2.3(b) or (d); and
(C)    to release any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the
Guaranty if such Person ceases to be a Subsidiary as a result of a transaction
permitted under the Loan Documents.
Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Required Lenders will
confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or
subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property, or to release
any Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty pursuant to
this Section 10.11.
(b)    The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have a duty to
ascertain or inquire into any representation or warranty regarding the
existence, value or collectability of the Collateral, the existence, priority or
perfection of the Administrative Agent’s Lien thereon, or any certificate
prepared by any Loan Party or any other Lender Party in connection therewith,
nor shall the Administrative Agent be responsible or liable to the Lenders for
any failure to monitor or maintain any portion of the Collateral.
(c)    The Administrative Agent may from time to time make disbursements and
advances that, in its sole discretion, it deems necessary or desirable to
preserve, protect, prepare for sale or lease or Dispose of the Collateral, to
enhance the likelihood or maximize the amount of the Obligations that are repaid
by the Loan Parties or pay any other amount chargeable to any Loan Party
hereunder. All such amounts disbursed or advanced by the Administrative Agent
shall be Obligations that are secured by the Collateral and be repayable by the
Borrower on demand.

SECTION 11.12    Indemnification. Lenders will reimburse and indemnify
Administrative Agent and all other Agent Parties on demand (to the extent not
actually reimbursed by the Loan Parties, but without limiting the obligations of
the Loan Parties under this Agreement) for and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses (including, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), advances or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred
by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent or any other Agent Party (a) in
any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the Loan
Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or any
other Agent Party under this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, and (b) in
connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery,
administration, amendment, modification, waiver or enforcement (whether through
negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of
rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents in proportion to each Lender’s Percentage; provided, that no Lender
shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses, advances or
disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s or any other Agent
Party’s gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, as determined by a
final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. If any
indemnity furnished to any Agent Party for any purpose shall, in the opinion of
Administrative Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, Administrative Agent
may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts
indemnified against until such additional indemnity is furnished. The
obligations of Lenders under this Section 10.12 shall survive the payment in
full of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments and this
Agreement.

SECTION 11.13    Resignation of Issuing Lender. Any Issuing Lender may resign at
any time by giving 30 days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent, the
Lenders and the Borrower. After the resignation of an Issuing Lender hereunder,
the retiring Issuing Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to
have all the rights and obligations of an Issuing Lender under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents with respect to Letters of Credit issued by it
prior to such resignation, but shall not be required to issue additional Letters
of Credit or to extend, renew or increase any existing Letters of Credit.

SECTION 11.14    Resignation of Swingline Lender. The Swingline Lender may
resign at any time by giving notice to Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the
Borrower. After the resignation of the Swingline Lender hereunder, the retiring
Swingline Lender shall remain a party hereto and shall continue to have rights
and obligations of the Swingline Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents with respect to Swingline Loans made by it prior to such resignation,
but shall not be required to make any additional Swingline Loans.

SECTION 11.15    Compliance with Flood Laws. CoBank has adopted internal
policies and procedures that address requirements placed on federally regulated
lenders under the Flood Laws. CoBank, as administrative agent or collateral
agent on a syndicated facility, will post on the applicable electronic platform
(or otherwise distribute to each lender in the syndicate) documents that it
receives in connection with the Flood Laws. However, CoBank reminds each lender
and participant in the facility that, pursuant to the Flood Laws, each federally
regulated lender (whether acting as a lender or participant in the facility) is
responsible for assuring its own compliance with the flood insurance
requirements.

SECTION 11.16    No Reliance on the Administrative Agent’s Customer
Identification Program. Each Lender acknowledges and agrees that neither such
Lender, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or assignees, may rely on the
Administrative Agent to carry out such Lender’s, Affiliate’s, participant’s or
assignee’s customer identification program, or other obligations required or
imposed under or pursuant to the USA Patriot Act or the regulations thereunder,
including the regulations contained in 31 CFR 103.121 (as hereafter amended or
replaced, the “CIP Regulations”), or any other Anti-Terrorism Laws,
Anti-Corruption Laws or Sanctions, including any programs involving any of the
following items relating to or in connection with any of the Loan Parties, their
Affiliates or their agents, the Loan Documents or the transactions hereunder or
contemplated hereby: (a) any identity verification procedures, (b) any
recordkeeping, (c) comparisons with government lists, (d) customer notices or
(e) other procedures required under the CIP Regulations or such other Law.

Person became a Lender party hereto, to, and (y) covenants, from the date such
Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a
Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, the Joint

its sole discretion of supplements by the Borrower to certain Items of the
Disclosure Schedules regarding Real Property acquired after the Effective Date,
regarding a Subsidiary Guarantor joined after the Effective Date and from time

(a)    The Borrower agrees, at its sole cost and expense, to indemnify,
exonerate and hold each Lender Party and each of their respective Related
Parties (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) free and harmless from and
against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, losses, costs,
liabilities, damages and out-of-pocket expenses (in each case whether asserted
by any third party or the Borrower or any of its Affiliates and irrespective of
whether any such Indemnified Party is a party to the action for which
indemnification hereunder is sought), including, without limitation, the fees
and out-of-pocket expenses of the Indemnified Parties (including the fees and
out-of-pocket expenses of legal counsel and consultants to the Indemnified
Parties who may be retained by the Indemnified Parties) (collectively, the
“Indemnified Liabilities”), that arise out of or relate to:
(A)    the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery or performance of the
terms of, or consummation of the transactions contemplated by, this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any other agreement or instrument contemplated
thereby (including any action brought by or on behalf of the Borrower or any
other Loan Party as the result of any determination by the Required Lenders
pursuant to Article V not to fund any Borrowing);
(B)    any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds
thereof, including any transactions financed in whole or in part, directly or
indirectly, with such proceeds;
(C)    any Environmental Laws;
(D)    any presence, release, or threat of Release of Hazardous Materials, at,
upon, under or within the Real Property;
(E)    the falsity in any material respect of any of the representations made in
Section 6.13, whether or not caused by the Borrower;
(F)    the failure of the Borrower to duly perform the covenants, obligations or
actions set forth in Section 7.1.6, including with respect to: (A) the
imposition by any Governmental Authority of any lien upon the Real Property, (B)
remediation of the Real Property or any other land or water contaminated by
Hazardous Materials which were generated on or migrated from the Real Property,
(C) liability for personal injury or property damage or damage to the
environment, (D) any diminution in the value of the Real Property and (E)
claims, costs, liabilities and damages arising under any Environmental Laws, or
any other claims, liabilities or costs which may be incurred by or asserted
against Indemnified Parties directly or indirectly resulting from the presence
of any Hazardous Material in, on, under or affecting the Real Property;
(G)    any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding
relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other
theory; except for any such Indemnified Liabilities arising from the relevant
Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a
final non-appealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction. If and to
the extent that the foregoing undertaking may be unenforceable for any reason,
the Borrower agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and
satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under
Law. Such indemnification shall be available regardless whether the relevant
Indemnified Party is found to have acted with comparative, contributory or sole
negligence. Under no circumstances shall any Indemnified Party be liable for any
damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or
other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or
other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
(b)    The Borrower further agrees that Lender Parties and their respective
Related Parties shall not assume any liability or obligation for loss, damage,
fines, penalties, claims or duty to remediate or dispose of wastes or Hazardous
Material on or relating to Real Property as a result of any conveyance of title
to the Real Property to any of the Lender Parties or otherwise or as a result of
any inspections or any other actions made or taken by any Lender Party on the
Real Property, except to the extent that any of the foregoing matters are
attributable to actions or omissions by such Lender Party or its agents
constituting fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Borrower agrees
to remain fully liable under the indemnification contained in this Section.
(c)    Promptly following completion of any actions imposed upon the Borrower by
any order, judgment or other final resolution of a matter indemnified under this
Agreement, or completion of any other remediation requirement under any
applicable Environmental Laws, the Borrower shall certify to the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders that all such required actions have been completed. The
Administrative Agent or any Lender, at its option, may require the Borrower, at
the Borrower’s expense, to obtain and deliver to the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders an environmental report in form and substance reasonably acceptable
to Administrative Agent from a consultant reasonably acceptable to the
Administrative Agent confirming that all such actions have been completed in
accordance with any such order, judgment or resolution or other legal or
remediation requirements, and that the Real Property is in compliance in all
material respects with applicable Environmental Laws. To the extent that the
Borrower for any reason fails to indefeasibly pay any amount required under
clause (a) to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent or any of its Related
Parties, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent or such
Related Party, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the
applicable unreimbursed indemnity payment is sought) of such unpaid amount. The
obligations of the Lenders under this clause are several and not joint and shall
survive the termination of this Agreement.
(d)    Each Loan Party also agrees that, without the prior consent of the
Administrative Agent (not to be unreasonably withheld), neither it nor any of
its Affiliates will settle, compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment
in any pending or threatened claim, action or proceeding in respect of which
indemnification has been or could be sought under the indemnification provisions
hereof (whether or not any Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to
such claim, action or proceeding), unless such settlement, compromise or consent
(i) includes a full and unconditional written release of each Indemnified Party
from all liability arising out of such claim, action or proceeding and (ii) does
not include any statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or failure
to act by or on behalf of any Indemnified Party.
(e)    This Section 11.4 shall not apply with respect to Taxes other than any
Taxes that represent losses, claims, damages, etc. arising from any non-Tax
claim.

SECTION 12.5    Survival. The obligations of the Borrower under Sections 4.3,
4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 11.3 and 11.4 and under any other provision specifically
providing for indemnification or reimbursement of fees, costs and expenses
incurred by any of the Lender Parties in connection with this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, and the obligations of the Lenders under Section 10.1,
shall in each case survive any termination of this Agreement, the payment in
full of all the Obligations and the termination of all the Commitments. All
covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by each Loan Party in
the Loan Documents and in the certificates or other instruments delivered in
connection with or pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall
be considered to have been relied upon by the Lender Parties and shall survive
the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents and the making of any Loan and
the issuance of any Letter of Credit, regardless of any investigation made by
any Lender Party or on its behalf and notwithstanding that any Lender Party may
have had notice or knowledge of any Default or Event of Default or incorrect
representation or warranty at the time any credit is extended hereunder.

SECTION 12.6    Severability. Any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to
such provision and such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of
this Agreement or such Loan Document or affecting the validity or enforceability
of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

SECTION 12.7    Headings. The various headings of this Agreement and of each
other Loan Document are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect the
meaning or interpretation of this Agreement or such other Loan Document or any
provisions hereof or thereof.

SECTION 12.8    Counterparts; Effectiveness.
(a)    Counterparts. This 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. Except as provided in Article V, this Agreement shall become
effective when it shall have been executed by Administrative Agent and when
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 Agreement by facsimile or in
electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a
manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
(b)    Electronic Execution of Assignments. The words “execution,” “signed,”
“signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption shall be
deemed to include electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic
form, each of which shall be of the same legal effect, validity or
enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a paper-based
recordkeeping system, as the case may be, to the extent and as provided for in
any Law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National
Commerce Act, the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any
other similar state laws based on the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.

SECTION 12.9    Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents and
any claims, controversy, dispute or cause of action (whether in contract or tort
or otherwise) based upon, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any
other Loan Document (except, as to any other Loan Document, as expressly set
forth therein) and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby shall be
governed by, and construed in accordance with, the law of the State of New York,
without regard to conflicts of law principles that require or permit application
of the laws of any other state or jurisdiction.

SECTION 12.10    Entire Agreement. Without limiting Section 11.22, this
Agreement and each other Loan Document constitute the entire understanding among
the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any
prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto.

SECTION 12.11    Assignments and Participations.
(a)    Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall
be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the
Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer or allocate
as a result of a division any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the
prior written consent of 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 clause (b) of this
Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of
clause (d) of this Section, or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a
security interest subject to the restrictions of clause (e) of this Section (and
any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and
void). Nothing in this 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 (including Voting
Participants) to the extent provided in clause (d) of this Section and, to the
extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of
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

it); provided that (in each case with respect to any credit facility) any such
assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(A)    Minimum Amounts
(A)    in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it (in each
case with respect to any Commitment) or contemporaneous assignments to related
Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in clause (b)(i)(B) of
this Section in the aggregate 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
(B)    in any case not described in clause (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the
aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans
outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable 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 Borrower
otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed).
(B)    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 Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment
assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from
assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate
Commitments on a non-pro rata basis.
(C)    Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except
to the extent required by clause (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:
(A)    the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing at the time of such assignment, or (2) such assignment is to a
Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower
shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object
thereto by notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days
after having received notice thereof and provided, further, that the Borrower’s
consent shall not be required during the primary syndication of the Commitments;
(B)    the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect
of (1) the Revolving Loan Commitment or any unfunded Commitments with respect to
any Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitment or Incremental Term Loan Commitment if such
assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment, an Affiliate
of such Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such Lender, or (2) any Term
Loans to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved
Fund;
(C)    the consent of each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Lender (Revolver)
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required
for assignments in respect of the Revolving Loan Commitment; and
(D)    the consent of each Issuing Lender (MDT) (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect
of the Multi-Draw Term Loan Commitment.
(D)    Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall execute
and deliver to Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with
a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided 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.
(E)    No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made to (A)
the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any
Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a
Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in
this clause (v).
(F)    No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a
natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned
or operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person).
(G)    Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of rights
and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be
effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set
forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments
to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution
thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee
of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including
funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the
applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the
Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby
irrevocably consent), to (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities
then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing
Lender, the Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest
accrued thereon), and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full Percentage
of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in
accordance with its Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that
any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder
shall become effective under Law without compliance with the provisions of this
clause, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting
Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant
to clause (c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment
and Assumption, the Eligible Assignee thereunder shall be a party to this
Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and
Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this 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 Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering
all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such
Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to
the benefits of Sections 4.3, 4.4, 4.5, 4.6, 11.3 and 11.4 with respect to facts
and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment;
provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected
parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or
release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having
been a Defaulting Lender. Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall
execute and deliver a Note to the assignee Lender. Any assignment or transfer by
a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with
this Section shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such
Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with
clause (d) of this Section.
(c)    Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an
agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at an office specified from time to time 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 Borrower, 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 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 Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any
Person (other than a natural Person or a holding company, investment vehicle or
trust for, or owned or operated for the primary benefit of a natural Person or
the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a
“Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the
Loans 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 Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the 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, modification or waiver described in Section 11.1(a)(i) through
(ii) that affects such Participant. The Borrower agrees that each Participant
shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.3, 4.4, 11.4 and 4.6 (subject to
the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under
Section 4.6(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under
Section 4.6(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same
extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment
pursuant to clause (b) of this Section; provided that, such Participant (A)
agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.5 as if it were an assignee
under clause (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any
greater payment under Sections 4.3 and 4.6, with respect to any participation,
than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the
extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in
Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.
Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and
expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate
the provisions of Section 4.5 with respect to any Participant. To the extent
permitted by Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of
Sections 4.8 and 4.9 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant
agrees to be subject to Sections 4.8 and 4.9 as though it were a Lender. Each
Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a
non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the
name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated
interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under
the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall
have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register
(including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a
Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other
obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that
such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of
credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of
the United States Treasury Regulations. The entries in the Participant Register
shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each
Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such
participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to
the contrary. For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its
capacity as the Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for
maintaining a Participant Register.
Any Participant that is a Farm Credit Lender and that (i) has purchased a
participation in a minimum amount of $5,000,000, (ii) if the Administrative
Agent is other than CoBank, has been designated as a voting participant (a
“Voting Participant”) in a notice sent by the relevant Lender to the
Administrative Agent as being entitled to be accorded the right of a Voting
Participant, and (iii) receives the prior written consent of the Administrative
Agent (such consent being required only if the Administrative Agent is other
than CoBank) to become a Voting Participant, shall be entitled to vote, and the
voting rights of the selling Lender shall be correspondingly reduced, on a
dollar-for-dollar basis, as if such Participant were a Lender, on any matter
requiring or allowing a Lender to provide or withhold its consent, or to
otherwise vote on any proposed action to which the Lender selling such
participation is entitled to vote. Notwithstanding the above, (i) each Farm
Credit Lender listed on Schedule III is a Voting Participant as of the Effective
Date, and (ii) any Farm Credit Lender listed on Schedule III who has indirectly
purchased a participation on the Effective Date and who was a Voting Participant
under the Existing Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of
this Agreement shall be entitled to vote, and the voting rights of the selling
Voting Participant shall be correspondingly reduced, on a dollar-for-dollar
basis, as if such Voting Participant with the indirect participation were a
Voting Participant with a direct participation, on any matter requiring or
allowing a Voting Participant with a direct participation to provide or withhold
its consent, or to otherwise vote on any proposed action to which the Voting
Participant reselling such participation is entitled to vote.
(e)    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 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.
(f)    Issuing Lender. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section
11.11, an Issuing Lender may assign to an Eligible Assignee all or a portion of
its rights and obligations under the undrawn portion of its commitment to issue
Letters of Credit at any time; provided, however, that (i) each such assignment
shall be to an Eligible Assignee and (ii) the parties to each such assignment
shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and
recording in the Register, an Assignment and Assumption.
(g)    Swingline Lender. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section
11.11, the Swingline Lender may assign to an Eligible Assignee all of its rights
and obligations under the Swingline Loans and the undrawn portion of the
Swingline Loan Commitment at any time; provided, however, that (i) each such
assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee and (ii) the parties to each such
assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its
acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Assumption.

SECTION 12.12    Press Releases and Related Matters. Each Loan Party agrees that
neither it nor any other Loan Party nor any Subsidiary of any Loan Party will
issue any press release or other public disclosure using the name of CoBank or
its Affiliates (other than the filing of the Loan Documents with the Securities
and Exchange Commission) without the prior consent of CoBank. Each Loan Party
consents to the publication by the Administrative Agent or any Lender of a
tombstone or similar advertising material relating to the financing transactions
contemplated by this Agreement. The Administrative Agent and each such Lender
shall provide a draft of any such tombstone or similar advertising material to
the Borrower for review and reasonable comment prior to the publication thereof.
In addition, the Administrative Agent reserves the right to provide to industry
trade organizations customary information for inclusion in league table
measurements.

(a)    Jurisdiction. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY

BORROWER OR ANY OTHER LOAN PARTY OR ANY SUBSIDIARY OF ANY LOAN PARTY OR THEIR
RESPECTIVE PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.
(b)    Waiver of Venue. THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND

BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS BY, AMONG
OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.

PERMITTED BY THE LAWS, THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY SHALL NOT ASSERT,

jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement. In the event an
ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Agreement shall

authorship of any provisions of this Agreement.

SECTION 12.17    Protection of Interests. Without limiting any of the other
provisions hereof and whether or not the Administrative Agent or any Lender
acquires legal possession and title to the Real Property, if the Administrative
Agent becomes aware of any matter for which the Borrower may have liability in
accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement, whether or not a claim
is asserted against any Loan Party, the Administrative Agent shall have the
right to take any action available to the Administrative Agent under Law, and
the Borrower and each Loan Party hereby grants to the Administrative Agent and

assigns, an irrevocable license and authorization for access to the Real
Property and to conduct any such actions that the Administrative Agent deems
reasonably appropriate in connection therewith. The Borrower shall pay promptly
following demand by the Administrative Agent all costs and expenses in
connection with such investigatory and remedial activities. The foregoing
license and authorization is intended to be a means of protection of the
Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ security interest in the Real Property
and not as participation in the management of the Borrower, any Loan Party or
the Real Property.

SECTION 12.18    Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing
Lenders and the Lenders agree to maintain the confidentiality of the Information
(as defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its

Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential

Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee
of or Participant in, any of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, or
(ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Related Parties) to any swap,
derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference
to the Loan Parties and their obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder;

and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Commitments; (h) with the
consent of the Borrower; or (i) to the extent such Information (i) becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section, or
(ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing
Lender or any of their respective Affiliates on a nonconfidential basis from a
source other than the Loan Parties. For purposes of this Section, “Information”
means all information received from the Loan Parties or any of their
Subsidiaries relating to the Loan Parties or any of their Subsidiaries or any of
their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available
to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Lender on a
nonconfidential basis prior to disclosure by the Loan Parties or any of their
Subsidiaries; provided that, in the case of information received from the Loan
Parties or any of their Subsidiaries after December 23, 2014, 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 its own
confidential information.

SECTION 12.19    USA Patriot Act Notice. Each Lender that is subject to the USA
Patriot Act and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any
Lender Party) hereby notifies the Loan Parties that pursuant to the requirements
of the USA Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information
that identifies the Loan Parties, which information includes the name and
address of Loan Parties and other information that will allow such Lender or
Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the Loan Parties in accordance
with the USA Patriot Act. The Borrower shall, promptly following a request by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other
information that the Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to
comply with its ongoing obligations under Anti-Corruption Laws, Anti-Terrorism
Laws and Sanctions, including the USA Patriot Act.

RIGHTS.

SECTION 12.22    Effectiveness of Amendment and Restatement; No Novation. The
amendment and restatement of the Existing Credit Agreement pursuant to this
Agreement shall be effective on the Effective Date. All obligations and rights
of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Lenders and the
Lenders arising out of or relating to the period commencing on the Effective
Date shall be governed by the terms and provisions of this Agreement; the
obligations and rights of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders during the period prior to the Effective Date shall continue to be
governed by the Existing Credit Agreement without giving effect to the amendment
and restatement provided for herein. This Agreement shall not constitute a
novation or termination of the Loan Parties’ obligations under the Existing
Credit Agreement or any document, note or agreement executed or delivered in
connection therewith, but shall constitute an amendment and restatement of the
obligations and covenants of the Loan Parties under such documents, notes and
agreements, and the Loan Parties hereby reaffirm all such obligations and
covenants, as amended and restated hereby.
This Agreement does not extinguish the obligations for the payment of money
outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement or discharge or release the
“Obligations” pursuant to the Existing Loan Documents, the Administrative
Agent’s Liens pursuant to the Existing Loan Documents or the priority of any
mortgage, pledge, security agreement or any other security therefor. Nothing
herein contained shall be construed as a substitution or novation of the
obligations outstanding under the Existing Credit Agreement, the other Existing
Loan Documents or instruments securing the same, which shall remain in full
force and effect, except as expressly modified hereby or by another Loan
Document. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement shall be construed as a
release or other discharge of the Borrower or any other Loan Party from any of
its obligations or liabilities as “Borrower”, a “Guarantor” or a “Loan Party”
under the Existing Credit Agreement or any other Existing Loan Document. It is
the intent of the parties that the security interests and Liens granted in the
Collateral under and pursuant to the Existing Loan Documents shall continue in
full force and effect. Each Loan Party hereby (i) confirms and agrees that each
Existing Loan Document to which it is a party that is not being amended and
restated concurrently herewith is, and shall continue to be, in full force and
effect and is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects except that on and
after the Effective Date all references in any such Loan Document to “the Credit
Agreement”, “thereto”, “thereof”, “thereunder” or words of like import referring
to the Existing Credit Agreement shall mean the Existing Credit Agreement as
amended and restated by this Agreement; and (ii) confirms and agrees that to the
extent that any such Existing Loan Document purports to assign or pledge to the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, or to grant to
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lender Parties a Lien on any
collateral as security for the “Obligations” from time to time existing in
respect of the Existing Credit Agreement and the other Existing Loan Documents,
such Lien is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects and continues in full
force and effect to secure the Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents. Each Loan Party hereby agrees to execute and deliver all agreements,
documents and instruments and to take, or cause to be taken, all actions and to
do, or cause to be done, all things necessary or desirable, as determined by the
Administrative Agent in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion, to
ensure that the Administrative Agent’s Liens pursuant to the Existing Loan
Documents continue to secure the Obligations under this Agreement and under the
other Loan Documents.

SECTION 12.23    Secured Bank Products and Secured Rate Protection Agreements.
No Lender Party (other than the Administrative Agent) that obtains the benefit
of the Guaranty or of any security interest in any of the Collateral shall have
any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any
action hereunder or under any other Loan Document (including the release,
impairment or modification of any Obligations or security therefor) other than
in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly
provided in the Loan Documents. No provider of any Secured Bank Product or Rate
Protection Agreement shall have any voting rights hereunder or under any other
Loan Document in its capacity as the provider of such Rate Protection Agreement
or Secured Bank Product. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement
to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall only be required to verify the
payment of, or that other reasonably satisfactory arrangements have been made
with respect to, the Obligations arising with respect to Secured Bank Products
and Rate Protection Agreements with Lender Parties to the extent the
Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Obligations, together
with such supporting documentation as it may request, from the applicable Lender
(or its Affiliate). Each Lender Party not a party to this Agreement that obtains
the benefit of this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be deemed to have
acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant
to the terms of this Agreement, and acknowledges and agrees that the
Administrative Agent is and shall be entitled to all the rights, benefits and
immunities conferred under this Agreement with respect to each such Lender
Party.

SECTION 12.24    Effective Date Assignment. On the Amendment Effective Date,
AgSouth will assign all of its Loans and Commitments in accordance with Schedule
II, which describes the Loans and Commitments both before and after giving
effect to such assignments.

SECTION 12.25    Acknowledgment and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial
Institutions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or
in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties,
each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any EEA Financial
Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is
unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA
Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to
be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA
Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder that may be
payable to it by any party hereto that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-In Action on any such liability, including, if
applicable:
(A)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(B)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other
instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent
undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise
conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be
accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under
this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(C)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the
exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution
Authority.
