Obligations then outstanding plus the Permitted Non-Affiliate Loan Reserve would exceed the Total
Revolving Loan Commitments in effect at the time.



     SECTION 2.02. REVOLVING LOAN COMMITMENTS. All Revolving Loans under this Agreement shall
be made by the Banks Pro rata on the basis of their Pro rata share of the Total Revolving Loan
Commitments. It is understood that no Bank shall be responsible for any default by any other Bank
of its obligation to make Revolving Loans hereunder and that each Bank shall be obligated to make
the Revolving Loans to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Bank to
fulfill its commitments hereunder.



     SECTION 2.03. REVOLVING LOANS. (a) Each Bank severally agrees, subject to the
fulfillment of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, to make revolving loans (the “Revolving
Loans”) to the Borrower from time to time during the applicable Commitment Period. Subject to the
provisions of this Agreement, Loans may be repaid in whole or in part, and amounts so repaid may be
reborrowed, but in no event shall the aggregate principal amount of each Bank’s Revolving Loans
plus such Bank’s Pro rata share of the LC Obligations and outstanding Swing Loans (if a participant
in Swing Loans pursuant to Section 2.07(c) hereof) exceed at any time the then Commitment of such
Bank.



     (b) The requesting of a Loan in and of itself pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing constitutes a
representation and warranty by the Borrower to the Banks and the Agents that the conditions
specified in Section 5.01 hereof have been satisfied. Each oral request for a Revolving Loan
(which request shall be promptly confirmed in writing as specified in Section 5.01 hereof) shall be
made by a person authorized by the Borrower to do so and designated on Schedule 2.03, or as that
Schedule may be amended from time to time in writing by the Borrower (each an “Authorized Fiscal
Officer”), and the making of a Revolving Loan as
provided herein shall conclusively establish the Borrower’s obligation to repay such Revolving
Loan.

     (c) Immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement, the outstanding principal
balance of “Revolving Loans” under the 2004 Credit Agreement is $218,000,0000 and shall be deemed
to be, and hereby is converted into, outstanding Revolving Loans hereunder.



     SECTION 2.04. PURPOSE OF THE REVOLVING LOANS. The proceeds of Revolving Loans shall be
used by the Borrower to refinance existing Indebtedness, support ongoing projects, purchase real
estate and for working capital purposes of the Borrower.



     SECTION 2.05. REVOLVING LOAN NOTES. (a) On the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower
shall execute and deliver to each of the Banks a Revolving Loan Note with all blanks appropriately
completed in conformity herewith.



     (b) On each applicable Additional Bank Assumption Effective Date, the Borrower shall execute
and deliver to each Additional Bank, a Revolving Loan Note with all blanks appropriately completed
in conformity herewith.



     (c) The Revolving Loan Note issued to each Bank shall (i) be executed by the Borrower, (ii) be
payable to the order of (A) such Bank and dated as of the Restatement Effective Date or (B) to an
Additional Bank and dated as of the Additional Bank Assumption Effective Date applicable to such
Additional Bank or (C) to a Bank with an Additional Commitment and dated as of the Additional Bank
Assumption Effective Date applicable to such Bank with an Additional Commitment, in each case, as
applicable, (iii) be in a stated principal amount equal to the Commitment of such Bank and payable
in the principal amount of the Revolving Loans evidenced thereby, (iv) mature on the Termination
Date and (v) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement and the other Related Writings. The
Revolving Loan Notes shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement.



     (d) All Revolving Loan Notes issued under the 2004 Credit Agreement shall be deemed canceled
as of the Restatement Effective Date and each Person party to the 2004 Credit Agreement in
possession of a Revolving Loan Note issued thereunder shall promptly after the Restatement
Effective Date return such Revolving Loan Note to the Borrower for cancellation.



     SECTION 2.06. REPAYMENT OF THE REVOLVING LOAN NOTES. The principal of the Revolving Loan
Notes evidencing the Revolving Loans shall be due and payable in full on the Termination Date,
unless such principal sums shall become due earlier in whole or in part by reason of the principal
amount exceeding the Total Revolving Loan Commitments at any time in effect or pursuant to the
provisions of Article XI hereof.



     SECTION 2.07 SWING LOANS. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, during the Commitment Period, each Swing Line Lender agrees to make a Swing Loan or
Swing Loans to the Borrower
in an amount equal to one-half (1/2) of the amount or amounts as the Borrower may from time to time
request; provided, that the Borrower shall not request any Swing Loan if, after giving
effect thereto (i) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans plus the Swing
Line Exposure plus the LC Obligations then outstanding plus the Permitted Non-Affiliate Loan
Reserve would exceed the Total Revolving Loan Commitments then in effect or (ii) the Swing Line
Exposure would exceed the Maximum Swing Line Amount. Each Swing Loan shall bear interest at a per
annum rate equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus 195 basis points (for each day elapsed)
and shall be due and



-16-









 




payable on the Swing Loan Maturity Date applicable thereto. The Borrower
shall not request that more than one (1) Swing Loan to each Swing Line Lender be outstanding at any
time.




     (b) On any Cleveland Banking Day, the Swing Line Lenders may, in their sole discretion, give
notice to the Banks and the Borrower that one or more of their outstanding Swing Loans shall be
refinanced as a Revolving Loan; provided, that (i) each such notice shall be deemed to have
been automatically given upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 10.06 or 10.07
hereof or upon the exercise of any of the remedies provided in Section 11.01(b) or 11.02(b) hereof
and (ii) no Swing Line Lender shall make such request without the other Swing Line Lender joining
in such request. Such Revolving Loan initially shall bear interest based on the Base Rate Option.
On the Cleveland Banking Day immediately following the date such notice has been given (or deemed
given), the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested (the “Mandatory Request”) a Revolving Loan
in the aggregate principal amount of the Swing Loans of each Swing Line Lender in accordance with
Section 5.01 hereof (other than the requirement set forth in Section 5.01(a)(i)). Each Bank agrees
to make a Revolving Loan in an amount equal to its Pro rata share of such Revolving Loan on the
date of the Mandatory Request, subject to no conditions precedent whatsoever. Each Bank
acknowledges and irrevocably agrees that such Bank’s obligation to make a Revolving Loan when
required by this Section 2.07(b) is absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, the occurrence and continuance of a Possible
Default or Event of Default or whether or not the agreements and conditions of Article V are then
satisfied and that its payment to the Agent, for the respective accounts of the Swing Line Lenders,
of the proceeds of such Revolving Loan shall be made without any offset, abatement, recoupment,
counterclaim, withholding or reduction whatsoever and whether or not such Bank’s Commitment shall
have been reduced or terminated. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes and instructs the Agent to
apply the proceeds of any borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.07(b) to repay in full such Swing
Loans.



     (c) If, for any reason, the Agent is unable to or, in the opinion of the Agent, it is
impracticable to, convert any Swing Loan to a Revolving Loan pursuant to the preceding Section
2.07(b), then on any day that a Swing Loan is outstanding (whether before or after the maturity
thereof), the Agent shall have the right to request that each Bank purchase a participation in such
Swing Loan, and the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank thereof (by facsimile or telephone,
confirmed in writing). Upon such notice, but without further action being necessary or required,
each Swing Line Lender hereby agrees to grant to each Bank and each Bank hereby agrees to acquire
from each Swing Line Lender, an individual participation interest in each Swing Loan in an amount
equal to such Bank’s Pro rata share of the principal amount of such Swing Loan. In consideration
and in furtherance of the foregoing, each Bank hereby absolutely and unconditionally agrees, upon
receipt of notice as provided above, to pay to the Agent, for the
benefit of each Swing Line Lender, such Bank’s Pro rata share of such Swing Loan. Each Bank
acknowledges and agrees that its obligation to acquire participations in Swing Loans pursuant to
this Section 2.07(c) is absolute and unconditional, and shall not be affected by any circumstance
whatsoever, including without limitation, the occurrence and continuance of a Possible Default or
Event of Default or whether or not the agreements and conditions of Article V are then satisfied
and that each such payment shall be made without any offset, abatement, recoupment, counterclaim,
withholding or reduction whatsoever and whether or not such Bank’s Commitment shall have been
reduced or terminated. Each Bank shall comply with its obligation under this



-17-









 




Section 2.07(c) by
wire transfer of immediately available funds, in the same manner as provided in Section 5.02 hereof
with respect to Revolving Loans to be made by such Bank.




     (d) On the Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Swing
Line Lender, a Swing Line Note with all blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith. The
Swing Line Note issued to each Swing Line Lender shall (i) be executed by the Borrower, (ii) be
payable to the order of such Swing Line Lender and dated as of the Restatement Effective Date,
(iii) be in a stated principal amount equal to the Swing Line Commitment of such Swing Line Lender
and payable in the principal amount of the Swing Loans evidenced thereby and (iv) be entitled to
the benefits of this Agreement and the other Related Writings. The Swing Line Notes shall be
subject to the terms of this Agreement.



     (e) The proceeds of Swing Loans shall be used by the Borrower for general working capital
purposes of the Borrower.



     (f) All Swing Loans outstanding under the 2004 Credit Agreement that remain unpaid on the
Restatement Effective Date shall be paid in full on the Restatement Effective Date.



     (g) All Swing Line Notes issued under the 2004 Credit Agreement shall be deemed canceled as of
the Restatement Effective Date and each Person party to the 2004 Credit Agreement in possession of
a Swing Line Note issued thereunder shall promptly after the Restatement Effective Date return such
Swing Line Note to the Borrower for cancellation.



ARTICLE III

LETTERS OF CREDIT




     SECTION 3.01. LETTERS OF CREDIT. (a) The Banks agree to make available to the Borrower
letters of credit, issued by the Agent, pursuant to their respective Commitments up to an aggregate
amount at any one time outstanding of $100,000,000 minus the aggregate principal amount of
all then outstanding Surety Bonds issued by a Surety on behalf of the Parent pursuant to an
Indemnity Agreement. The availability of letters of credit will be subject to (i) the Agent being
satisfied with the terms of the letter of credit, (ii) the Borrower’s executing and delivering such
letter of credit and reimbursement agreements and related documents as required by the Agent, and
(iii) the satisfaction of all conditions to the Borrower obtaining a Loan in the amount of the
requested letter of credit. The Borrower shall pay a fee for each letter of credit to the Agent
for the Pro rata benefit of the Banks, upon issuance of each letter of credit and, thereafter, upon
the annual anniversary of the issuance of each such letter of credit remaining outstanding, in the
amount of the Indicated Spread for Revolving Loans under the LIBOR Rate Option on the stated amount
of the letter of
credit; provided that, the Agent shall be entitled to .125% of such fee prior to the
distribution of the balance of such fee Pro rata to the Banks. In addition, the Borrower shall pay
to the Agent upon issuance of each letter of credit provided for under this Section 3.01 an
issuance fee of $500 for the Agent’s services in issuing the letter of credit. No letter of credit
shall be issued having an expiration date after the Termination Date. All letters of credit shall
be in such form and substance as the Agent, the Banks and the Borrower agree. The Borrower shall
not be entitled to obtain letters of credit from the Agent unless the Borrower is then entitled to
obtain Loans from the Banks in an amount not less than the stated amount of the letter of credit
requested, the other conditions of Section 5.03 of this Agreement have been satisfied as if the
Borrower was obtaining a Revolving Loan and the Borrower has executed and



-18-









 




delivered such letter of
credit, reimbursement agreements and other related documents as may be required by the Agent.




     (b) In the event the Agent pays any amount under or on account of a letter of credit (the
payment by the Agent under or on account of a letter of credit being herein called a “Draw”), a
Revolving Loan shall be deemed to be made to the Borrower by each Bank to the extent of its Pro
rata share of the Total Revolving Loan Commitments to reimburse immediately the Agent for the
amount of the Draw. The Agent shall notify each Bank of the occurrence and payment of a Draw no
later than 12:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the date of such notice and, not later than 1:00 p.m.
(Cleveland time) on the date of such notice, each Bank will make available to the Agent its Pro
rata portion of the Draw deemed to be a Revolving Loan. All amounts shall be made available to the
Agent in U.S. Dollars and immediately available funds at its office listed on the signature pages
hereto. If such corresponding Pro rata amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by such
Bank the Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount from such Bank. If such Bank
does not pay such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Agent’s demand therefor, the Agent shall
promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to
the Agent. The Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Bank or the Borrower, as the case
may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such
corresponding amount was made available by the Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding
amount is recovered by the Agent at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Bank, the
overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the then applicable rate of
interest, calculated in accordance with Article IV, for the Revolving Loans. In the event no
Revolving Loan or only a partial Revolving Loan is deemed to be made, the Agent is hereby
authorized to charge (without prior notice to the Borrower) the amount of each Draw, together with
interest thereon, against any account of the Borrower maintained with the Agent.



     (c) So long as letters of credit are outstanding, the amount of Revolving Loans that the
Borrower is entitled to obtain under Article II shall be reduced by the LC Obligations then
outstanding and, in addition to otherwise constituting part of the Revolving Loans, except as
otherwise expressly stated herein, the stated amount of the letters of credit shall be treated as
principal of the Revolving Loans.



     (d) Whenever the Borrower desires that a letter of credit be issued, the Borrower shall give
the Agent written notice (including by way of facsimile transmission) thereof prior to 1:00 p.m.
(Cleveland time) at least five Cleveland Banking Days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable
to the Agent) prior to the proposed date of issuance (which shall be a Cleveland
Banking Day), which written notice shall be in the form of Exhibit E hereto (each, a “Letter
of Credit Request”). Each Letter of Credit Request shall include an application for such letter of
credit and any other documents that the Agent customarily requires in connection therewith. The
Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of each Letter of Credit Request.



     (e) The delivery of each Letter of Credit Request shall be deemed a representation and
warranty by the Borrower that such letter of credit as requested in such Letter of Credit Request
may be issued in accordance with and will not violate the requirements of this Section 3.01 and
shall include a representation and warranty as to the aggregate principal amount of all then
outstanding Surety Bonds. The Agent shall, on the date of each issuance of or



-19-









 




amendment or
modification to a letter of credit by it, give each Bank and the Borrower written notice of the
issuance of or amendment or modification to such letter of credit.




     (f) In determining whether to pay under any letter of credit, the Agent shall not have any
obligation relative to the Banks other than to determine that any documents required to be
delivered under such letter of credit have been delivered and that they appear to comply on their
face with the requirements of the letter of credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the
Agent with respect to a letter of credit issued by it if taken or omitted in the absence of gross
negligence or willful misconduct, shall not create any resulting liability for the Agent.



     (g) Immediately prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement, the outstanding letters of
credit issued under the 2002 Credit Agreement and/or the 2004 Credit Agreement are as listed on
Exhibit C hereto and such letters of credit shall be deemed to be, and hereby are converted into,
outstanding letters of credit hereunder.



ARTICLE IV

INTEREST ON THE REVOLVING LOANS




     SECTION 4.01(a). INTEREST OPTIONS. The Borrower shall pay interest on the Revolving Loans
at the rates in effect from time to time pursuant to the Interest Options provided for in Sections
4.01(b) and 4.01(c) as selected by the Borrower or otherwise in effect from time to time in
accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Interest on the Revolving Loans shall
accrue from and including the date of borrowing thereof to but excluding the date of repayment
thereof.



     SECTION 4.01(b). LIBOR RATE OPTION. Interest on the principal amount of each Revolving
Loan at any time subject to the interest rate option provided for pursuant to this Section 4.01(b)
(the “LIBOR Rate Option”) shall be at a rate determined by adding the applicable LIBOR rate at the
time in effect for each Interest Period for such Revolving Loan and the applicable Indicated Spread
for the LIBOR Rate Option set forth in Section 4.01(d) below. The LIBOR Rate Option shall be in
effect for all portions of the principal of the Revolving Loans for which the Borrower has selected
an Interest Period in accordance with Section 4.02 hereof, unless and until any event or
circumstance provided for in Sections 4.09 or 4.10 hereof shall have occurred and continue to be in
effect or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.



     SECTION 4.01(c). BASE RATE OPTION. Interest on the principal amount of all Revolving
Loans at any time subject to the interest rate option provided for pursuant to this Section 4.01(c)
(the “Base Rate Option”) shall be at rates determined by adding the Base Rate in effect from time
to time and the applicable Indicated Spread for the Base Rate Option set forth in Section 4.01(d)
below. The interest rate in effect under the Base Rate Option shall change automatically and
immediately with each change in the Base Rate. The Base Rate Option shall be in effect for all
portions of the principal of the Revolving Loans for which the LIBOR Rate Option is not in effect
at any time.



     SECTION 4.01(d). INDICATED SPREAD. The Indicated Spread is measured in basis points and
from and including the Restatement Effective Date to the Termination Date, shall be 50 basis points
for the Base Rate Option and 145 basis points for the LIBOR Rate Option.



-20-









 





     SECTION 4.02. INTEREST PERIODS. The Borrower shall have the option to select and advise
the Agent of the Interest Periods the Borrower has selected for Revolving Loans not less than two
(2) Cleveland Banking Days prior to (a) the Restatement Effective Date, for the Revolving Loans to
be made on the Restatement Effective Date, (b) each Interest Adjustment Date, (c) the date any
Revolving Loans are to be made subsequent to the Restatement Effective Date, and (d) any date on
which the Borrower desires to have any portion of the principal of the Revolving Loans not subject
to the LIBOR Rate Option become subject to the LIBOR Rate Option, provided, that Revolving
Loans subject to the Base Rate Option may not be converted into Revolving Loans subject to the
LIBOR Rate Option and Revolving Loans subject to the LIBOR Rate Option may not be continued as
Revolving Loans subject to the LIBOR Rate Option if an Event of Default is in existence on the date
of such conversion or continuation. Each Interest Period selected shall apply to not less than
$500,000 in principal amount of the Revolving Loans; provided, that at no time shall there
be more than ten (10) Interest Periods in effect including any Revolving Loans subject to the Base
Rate Option. The principal amount subject to each Interest Period shall be deemed distributed Pro
rata among the Banks with respect to the respective Revolving Loans to which the Interest Period
applies. If the Borrower fails to timely select any Interest Period, the Borrower shall be deemed
to have elected to convert such Loan to a Loan subject to the Base Rate Option, effective as of the
expiration date of such current Interest Period.



     SECTION 4.03. INTEREST PAYMENT DATES. (a) Interest on all Revolving Loans subject to the
LIBOR Rate Option shall be payable on the earliest of (i) the first Cleveland Banking Day of each
month, (ii) any prepayment or conversion (on the amount prepaid or converted), (iii) maturity
(whether by acceleration or otherwise) and/or, (iv) after such maturity, on demand.



     (b) Interest on all Revolving Loans subject to the Base Rate Option shall be payable on the
earliest of (i) in arrears on the first Cleveland Banking Day of each month, (ii) any prepayment or
conversion (on the amount prepaid or converted), (iii) maturity (whether by acceleration or
otherwise) and/or (iv) after such maturity, on demand.



     (c) Interest that shall have accrued under the 2004 Credit Agreement and remains unpaid on the
Restatement Effective Date shall be paid in full on the Restatement Effective Date.



     SECTION 4.04. INTEREST CALCULATIONS. All interest shall be computed on the basis of a
three hundred sixty (360) day year for the actual number of days elapsed. Interest shall in all
events continue to accrue in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement until the time
payment in full is received.



     SECTION 4.05. POST-DEFAULT RATE. After the occurrence and during the continuation of any
Event of Default, the Loans and any interest on the Loans not paid when due shall bear interest at
a rate equal to the rate applicable to Revolving Loans, subject to the Base Rate Option plus two
percent (2%) per annum, and all such interest shall be due on demand. No interest shall accrue on
any interest that is being charged with respect to any interest not paid when due.



     SECTION 4.06. RESERVES OR DEPOSIT REQUIREMENTS, ETC. If at any time any law, treaty,
regulation (including, without limitation, Regulation D of the Board of



-21-









 




Governors of the Federal
Reserve System), governmental rule, guideline, order or request (whether or not having force of
law) or the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the
administration thereof or any central bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority shall
impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve and/or special deposit requirement against assets
held by, or deposits in or for the amount of any Loans by, any Bank, and the result of the
foregoing is to increase the cost (whether by incurring a cost or adding to a cost) to such Bank of
making or maintaining Loans hereunder or to reduce the amount of principal or interest received by
such Bank with respect to such Loans, then upon demand by such Bank the Borrower shall pay to such
Bank from time to time on each interest payment date with respect to such Loans, as additional
consideration hereunder, additional amounts sufficient to fully compensate and indemnify such Bank
for such increased cost or reduced amount, assuming (which assumption such Bank need not
corroborate) such additional cost or reduced amount were allocable to such Loans. A statement as
to the increased cost or reduced amount as a result of any event mentioned in this Section 4.06,
setting forth the calculations therefor, shall be submitted by such Bank to the Borrower not later
than one hundred fifty (150) days after the events giving rise to the same occurred and shall, in
the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding as to the amount thereof. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, after any such demand for compensation by any Bank, the
Borrower, upon at least one (1) Cleveland Banking Day’s prior written notice to such Bank through
the Agent, may prepay all Loans in full regardless of the Interest Period of any thereof. Any such
prepayment shall be subject to the prepayment premium set forth in Section 5.05 hereof.




     SECTION 4.07. TAX LAW, ETC. In the event that by reason of any law, regulation or
requirement or in the interpretation thereof by an official authority, or the imposition of any
requirement of any central bank whether or not having the force of law, any Bank shall, with
respect to this Agreement or any transaction under
this Agreement, be subjected to any tax, levy, impost, charge, fee, duty, deduction or withholding
of any kind whatsoever (other than any tax imposed upon the total net income of such Bank) and if
any such measures or any other similar measure shall result in an increase in the cost to such Bank
of making or maintaining any Loan or in a reduction in the amount of principal, interest or
commitment fee receivable by such Bank in respect thereof, then such Bank shall promptly notify the
Borrower stating the reasons therefor. The Borrower shall thereafter pay to such Bank upon demand
from time to time on each interest payment date with respect to such Loans, as additional
consideration hereunder, such additional amounts as will fully compensate such Bank for such
increased cost or reduced amount. A statement as to any such increased cost or reduced amount,
setting forth the calculations therefor, shall be submitted by such Bank to the Borrower not later
than one hundred fifty (150) days after the events giving rise to the same occurred and shall, in
the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding as to the amount thereof.



     If any Bank receives such additional consideration from the Borrower pursuant to this Section
4.07, such Bank shall use its best efforts to obtain the benefits of any refund, deduction or
credit for any taxes or other amounts on account of which such additional consideration has been
paid and shall reimburse the Borrower to the extent, but only to the extent, that such Bank shall
receive a refund of such taxes or other amounts together with any interest thereon or an effective
net reduction in taxes or other governmental charges (including any taxes imposed on or measured by
the total net income of such Bank) of the United States or any state or



-22-









 




subdivision thereof by
virtue of any such deduction or credit, after first giving effect to all other deductions and
credits otherwise available to such Bank. If, at the time any audit of such Bank’s income tax
return is completed, such Bank determines, based on such audit, that it was not entitled to the
full amount of any refund reimbursed to the Borrower as aforesaid or that its net income taxes are
not reduced by a credit or deduction for the full amount of taxes reimbursed to the Borrower as
aforesaid, the Borrower, upon demand of such Bank, will promptly pay to such Bank the amount so
refunded to which such Bank was not so entitled, or the amount by which the net income taxes of
such Bank were not so reduced, as the case may be.




     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, after any such demand for compensation
by any Bank, the Borrower, upon at least one (1) Cleveland Banking Day’s prior written notice to
such Bank through the Agent, may prepay all Loans in full regardless of the Interest Period of any
thereof. Any such prepayment shall be subject to the prepayment premium set forth in Section 5.05
hereof.



     SECTION 4.08. INDEMNITY. Without prejudice to any other provisions of this Article IV,
the Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify each Bank against any reasonable loss or expense which such
Bank may sustain or incur as a consequence of any Event of Default hereunder, including, but not
limited to, any loss of profit, premium or penalty incurred by such Bank in respect of funds
borrowed by it for the purpose of making or maintaining any Loan subject to the Libor Rate Option,
as determined by such Bank in the exercise of its sole but reasonable discretion. A statement as
to any such loss or expense shall be promptly submitted by such Bank to the Borrower not later than
one hundred fifty (150) days after the events giving rise to the same occurred and shall, in the
absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding as to the amount thereof.



     SECTION 4.09. EURODOLLAR DEPOSITS UNAVAILABLE OR INTEREST RATE UNASCERTAINABLE. In the
event that the Agent shall have determined that dollar deposits of the relevant amount for the
relevant Interest Period are not available to the Reference Banks in the applicable Eurodollar
market or that, by reason of circumstances affecting such market, adequate and reasonable means do
not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR rate applicable to such Interest Period, as the case may be,
the Agent shall promptly give notice of such determination to the Borrower. In any such event, all
principal of the Loans then subject to the LIBOR Rate Option shall become subject to the Base Rate
Option on expiration of any Interest Periods then in effect. In the event that the circumstances
causing any such unavailability of deposits or inability to determine the LIBOR rate shall change
or terminate so that the LIBOR rate may again be determined, the Agent shall promptly so notify the
Borrower.



     SECTION 4.10. CHANGES IN LAW RENDERING LIBOR LOANS UNLAWFUL. If at any time any new law,
treaty, regulation, governmental rule, guideline, order or request or any change in any existing
law, treaty, regulation, governmental rule, guideline, order or request or any interpretation
thereof by any governmental or other regulatory authority charged with the administration thereof,
shall make it unlawful for any Bank to fund any Loans which it is committed to make hereunder
subject to the LIBOR Rate Option with moneys obtained in the Eurodollar market, the Commitment of
such Bank to fund such Loans shall, upon the happening of such event forthwith be suspended for the
duration of such illegality, and such Bank shall by written notice to the Borrower and the Agent
declare that its Commitment with respect to such Loans has been so suspended and, if and when such
illegality ceases to exist, such suspension



-23-









 




shall cease and such Bank shall similarly notify the
Borrower and the Agent. If any such change shall make it unlawful for any Bank to continue in
effect the funding in the applicable Eurodollar market of any Loan previously made by it hereunder
subject to the LIBOR Rate Option, such Bank shall, upon the happening of such event, notify the
Borrower, the Agent and the other Banks thereof in writing stating the reasons therefor, and the
Borrower shall, on the earlier of (i) the last day of the then current Interest Period or (ii) if
required by such law, regulation or interpretation, on such date as shall be specified in such
notice, prepay all such Loans to the Banks in full. Any such prepayment or conversion may be made
without payment of the prepayment premium provided for in Section 5.05 hereof, but the Borrower
shall compensate such Bank(s) for any costs or expenses relating to such Loan incurred in
connection with the events provided for in this Section on written request to the Borrower
describing such costs or expenses.




     SECTION 4.11. FUNDING. Each Bank may, but shall not be required to, make Loans hereunder
with funds obtained outside the United States.



ARTICLE V

AGREEMENTS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO ALL REVOLVING LOANS




     SECTION 5.01. NOTICE OF BORROWING. (a) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur a Revolving Loan, it shall give the Agent, prior to
12:00 noon (Cleveland time), at least two (2) Cleveland Banking Day’s prior written notice (or
telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each Revolving Loan to be subject to the LIBOR
Rate Option and at least one (1) Cleveland Banking Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice
promptly confirmed in writing) of each Revolving Loan to be subject to the Base Rate Option. Each
such notice (each, a “Notice of Borrowing” a form of which is attached hereto as Exhibit F) shall
be appropriately completed to specify (i) the aggregate principal amount of each Revolving Loan to
be made, which shall be an amount equal to an integral multiple of $500,000, (ii) the date such
Revolving Loan(s) is to be made (which shall be a Cleveland Banking Day and, in the case of a
Revolving Loan based on the LIBOR Rate Option, a London Banking Day), and (iii) whether the
Revolving Loan(s) shall be subject to the Base Rate Option or the Libor Rate Option and, in the
latter case, the Interest Period to be initially applicable thereto. The Agent shall promptly give
each Bank written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed
Revolving Loan, of such Bank’s Pro rata share thereof and of the other matters covered by the
Notice of Borrowing.



     (b) Without in any way limiting the obligation of the Borrower to confirm in writing any
telephonic notice permitted to be given hereunder, the Agent may, prior to receipt of written
confirmation, act without liability upon the basis of such telephonic notice, believed by the Agent
in good faith to be from an Authorized Fiscal Officer of the Borrower. In such case, the Borrower
hereby waives the right to dispute the Agent’s record of the terms of such telephonic notice.



     (c) Whenever the Borrower desires to incur a Swing Loan, it shall give the Agent, prior to
2:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the proposed date of borrowing of any Swing Loan, written notice (or
telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) in the form of a Notice of Borrowing of each such
Swing Loan. The Agent shall promptly give each Swing Line Lender written notice (or telephonic
notice promptly confirmed in writing) of each proposed Swing



-24-









 




Loan, of such Swing Line Lender’s pro
rata share thereof and of other matters covered by the Notice of Borrowing relating to such Swing
Loan.




     SECTION 5.02. DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS. (a) No later than 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the
date specified in each Notice of Borrowing, each Bank will make available its Pro rata portion of
each Revolving Loan requested to be made on such date in the manner provided below in this Section
5.02(a). All amounts shall be made available to the Agent in U.S. dollars and immediately
available funds at its office listed on the signature pages hereto and the Agent promptly will make
available to the Borrower by depositing to its account at the Agent’s office the aggregate of the
amounts so made available in the type of funds received. Unless the Agent shall have been notified
by any Bank prior to the date specified in the Notice of Borrowing that such Bank does not intend
to make available to the Agent its portion of the Revolving Loan or Revolving Loans to be made on
such date, the Agent may assume that such Bank has made such amount available to the Agent on such
date of borrowing, and the Agent, in reliance upon such assumption, may (in its sole discretion and
without any obligation to do so) make available to the Borrower a corresponding amount. If such
corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by such Bank and the Agent has made
available same to the Borrower, the Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount
from such Bank. If such Bank does not pay such corresponding amount
forthwith upon the Agent’s demand therefor, the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the
Borrower shall immediately pay such corresponding amount to the Agent. The Agent shall also be
entitled to recover from the Bank or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such
corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made
available by the Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the
Agent at a rate per annum equal to (i) if paid by such Bank, the overnight Federal Funds Effective
Rate or (ii) if paid by the Borrower, the then applicable rate of interest, calculated in
accordance with Article IV, for the Revolving Loans.



     (b) Nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve any Bank from its obligation to fulfill its
commitments hereunder or to prejudice any rights which the Borrower may have against any Bank as a
result of any default by such Bank hereunder.



     (c) No later than 3:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the date specified in each Notice of Borrowing
relating to a Swing Loan, each Swing Line Lender will make available its pro rata portion of each
Swing Loan requested to be made on such date in the manner provided below in this Section 5.02(c).
All amounts shall be made available to the Agent in U.S. dollars and immediately available funds at
its office listed on the signature pages hereto and the Agent promptly will make available to the
Borrower by depositing to its account at the Agent’s office the aggregate of the amounts so made
available in the type of funds received.

     SECTION 5.03. CONDITIONS TO LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT. The obligation of each Bank to
make Loans hereunder or of the Agent to issue letters of credit hereunder, as applicable, is
conditioned, in the case of each Loan and each letter of credit hereunder, upon the following:



     (a) receipt by the Agent of a Notice of Borrowing or Letter of Credit Request, as applicable;



     (b) no Event of Default or Possible Default existing then or immediately after giving effect
to the Loan or letter of credit, as applicable;



     (c) the conditions set forth in Article VI hereof having been satisfied; and



     (d) the representations and warranties contained in Article IX hereof being true and correct
in all material respects with the same force and effect as if made on and as of the date of such
Loan or such letter of credit, as applicable, except to the extent that any thereof expressly
relate to an earlier date.


Each request for a Loan or a letter of credit by the Borrower hereunder shall be deemed to be a
representation and warranty by the Borrower as of the date of such borrowing as to the truth of the
matters specified in subsections (b), (c) and (d) above.




     SECTION 5.04. PAYMENT ON NOTES, ETC. All payments of principal, interest, and any other
amounts under this Agreement shall be made to the Agent in immediately available funds and in
lawful money of the United States of America
for the account of the Banks, not later than 12:00 noon (Cleveland time) on the date when due. Any
such payment received by the Agent after 12:00 noon on a Cleveland Banking Day shall be deemed
received on the next succeeding Cleveland Banking Day and interest shall accrue to such next
Cleveland Banking Day in respect of any principal of the Loans to be paid by such payment. All
payments made by the Borrower hereunder, under any Note or any other Related Writing, will be made
without setoff, counterclaim or defense. The Agent shall distribute to each Bank its Pro rata
share of the amount of principal, interest and other amounts received by it for the account of such
Bank on the same day the Agent receives payment thereof from the Borrower in immediately available
funds, unless the Agent does not receive such payment from the Borrower until after 12:00 noon, in
which case the Agent shall make payment thereof to the Banks on the next Cleveland Banking Day.
Each Bank shall endorse each Note held by it with appropriate notations evidencing each payment of
principal made thereon or shall record such principal payment by such other method as such Bank may
generally employ; provided, that failure to make any such entry shall in no way detract
from the Borrower’s obligations under each such Note. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder,
including without limitation any payment to be made on any Note, shall be stated to be due on a day
which is not a Cleveland Banking Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Cleveland
Banking Day and such extension of time shall in each case be included in the computation of the
interest payable on such Note; provided, that if the next succeeding Cleveland Banking Day
falls in the succeeding calendar month, such payment shall be made on the preceding Cleveland
Banking Day and the relevant Interest Period shall be adjusted accordingly. To the extent a Bank
does not receive its Pro rata share of the amount of principal, interest and other amounts made
available by the Borrower to the Agent for the account of such Bank at the applicable time set
forth above in this Section 5.04, such Bank shall



-26-









 




be entitled to recover from the Agent, interest
on all such amounts in respect of each day from the date such amounts were made available to the
Agent by the Borrower to the date such amounts are distributed to such Bank at a rate per annum
equal to the overnight Federal Funds Effective Rate.




     SECTION 5.05. PREPAYMENT. (a) The Borrower shall have the right (subject to the payment
of a prepayment premium as hereinafter described in this Section 5.05), at any time or from time to
time, upon two (2) Cleveland Banking Days’ prior written notice (or telephonic notice promptly
confirmed in writing) to prepay all or any part of the principal amount of the Loans then
outstanding as designated by the Borrower, subject to the provisions of Section 5.05(b) hereof,
plus interest accrued on the amount so prepaid to the date of such prepayment, which notice shall
promptly be transmitted by the Agent to each of the Banks.



     (b) The Borrower agrees that if LIBOR as determined as of 11:00 a.m. London time, two (2)
London Banking Days’ prior to the date of prepayment or acceleration of any Loans (hereinafter,
“Prepayment LIBOR”) shall be lower than the last LIBOR previously determined for those Loans
accruing interest at LIBOR with respect to which prepayment is intended to be made or that are
accelerated (hereinafter, “Last LIBOR”) prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period, then
the Borrower shall, upon written notice by the Agent, promptly pay to the Agent, for the account of
each of the Banks, in immediately available funds, a prepayment premium measured by a rate (the
“Prepayment Premium Rate”) which shall be equal to the difference between the Last LIBOR and the
Prepayment LIBOR. In determining the Prepayment
LIBOR payable to each Bank, the Agent shall apply a rate for each Bank equal to LIBOR for a
deposit approximately equal to each Bank’s portion of such prepayment or accelerated balance which
would be applicable to an Interest Period commencing on the date of such prepayment or acceleration
and having a duration as nearly equal as practicable to the remaining duration of the actual
Interest Period during which such acceleration occurs or prepayment is to be made. In addition,
the Borrower shall immediately pay directly to each Bank the amount claimed as additional costs or
expenses (including, without limitation, cost of telex, wires, or cables) incurred by such Bank in
connection with the prepayment or acceleration upon the Borrower’s receipt of a written statement
from such Bank. The Prepayment Premium Rate shall be applied to all or such part of the principal
amounts of the Notes as related to the Loans to be prepaid, or that are accelerated and the
prepayment premium shall be computed for the period commencing with the date on which such
prepayment is to be made or acceleration occurs to that date which coincides with the last day of
the Interest Period previously established when the Loans, which are to be prepaid or are
accelerated, were made. Each voluntary prepayment of a Loan shall be in the aggregate principal
sum of not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) (except in the case of a Loan initially made
in an aggregate amount less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000)) and, if greater, in an integral
multiple of Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($250,000). In the event the Borrower cancels a
proposed Loan subsequent to the delivery to the Agent of a Notice of Borrowing with respect to such
Loan, but prior to the draw down of funds thereunder, such cancellation shall be treated as a
prepayment subject to the aforementioned prepayment premium.



     SECTION 5.06. UNUSED COMMITMENT FEES. (a) For each day that the Revolving Credit
Exposure equals or exceeds fifty percent (50%) of the Total Revolving Loan Commitments, the
Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the Pro rata benefit of the Banks, an



-27-









 




unused commitment fee at
the rate per annum (based on a year of 360 days and calculated for the actual number of days
elapsed) of fifteen (15) basis points times the excess of the Total Revolving Loan
Commitments then in effect over the Revolving Credit Exposure on that day and (b) for each day that
the Revolving Credit Exposure is less than fifty percent (50%) of the Total Revolving Loan
Commitments, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the Pro rata benefit of the Banks, an unused
commitment fee at the rate per annum (based on a year of 360 days calculated for the actual number
of days elapsed) of twenty-five (25) basis points times the excess of the Total Revolving
Loan Commitments then in effect over the Revolving Credit Exposure on that day. The unused
commitment fee shall be payable on the first Cleveland Banking Day after each Fiscal Quarterly Date
commencing on the Restatement Effective Date and continuing on the first Cleveland Banking Day
after each Fiscal Quarterly Date thereafter. After any permanent reduction of the Total Revolving
Loan Commitments pursuant to Section 5.07, the unused commitment fees payable hereunder shall be
calculated upon the Total Revolving Loan Commitments of the Banks as so reduced.




     (b) All unused commitment fees as defined in the 2004 Credit Agreement that shall have accrued
under the 2004 Credit Agreement and remain unpaid on the Restatement Effective Date shall be paid
in full on the Restatement Effective Date.



     SECTION 5.07. MODIFICATION OF THE TOTAL REVOLVING LOAN COMMITMENTS. (a) At any time during the Commitment Increase Period, the Borrower may request
the Agent to
increase the Total Revolving Loan Commitments from the Restatement Effective Date Commitment Amount
up to an amount that shall not exceed $750,000,000. Each increase may be made by either (i)
proportionally increasing, for one or more Banks, with their prior written consent, their
respective Commitments, in increments of at least Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) or (ii) by
including one or more Additional Banks, each with a new Commitment of at least Twenty Five Million
Dollars ($25,000,000), as a party to this Agreement (collectively, the “Additional Commitments”).
During the Commitment Increase Period, all of the Banks agree that the Agent, in its sole
discretion, exercised in good faith, may permit one or more Additional Commitments upon
satisfaction of the following requirements: (A) each Additional Bank, if any, shall execute an
Additional Bank Assumption Agreement, (B) the Agent shall provide to each Bank a revised Exhibit A
to this Agreement at least three Cleveland Banking Days prior to the effectiveness of such
Additional Commitments (each, an “Additional Bank Assumption Effective Date”), (C) the Borrower
shall execute and deliver to the Agent, the Banks and the Additional Banks such replacement or
additional Revolving Loan Notes as shall be required by the Agent, such Banks or such Additional
Banks, as the case may be and (D) Borrower shall pay to the Agent, each Bank with an Additional
Commitment, if any, and each Additional Bank with an Additional Commitment, if any, such commitment
fees as may be agreed upon between the Borrower and the Agent, such Banks and such Additional
Banks, as the case may be. The Banks hereby authorize the Agent to execute each Additional Bank
Assumption Agreement on behalf of the Banks. On each Additional Bank Assumption Effective Date,
the Banks shall make adjustments among themselves with respect to the Revolving Loans and LC
Obligations then outstanding, participations in Swing Loans outstanding, if any and amounts of
principal, interest, fees and other amounts paid or payable with respect thereto as shall be
necessary, in the opinion of the Agent, in order to reallocate among such Banks such outstanding
amounts, based on their respective Pro rata shares of the then effective Total Revolving Loan
Commitments and to otherwise carry out fully the intent and terms of this



-28-









 




Section 5.07(a). In
connection therewith, it is understood and agreed that the Maximum Amount of any Bank set forth
under such Bank’s name on Exhibit A hereto will not be increased (or decreased except pursuant to
Section 5.07(b) hereof) without the prior written consent of such Bank. The Borrower shall not
request any increase in the Total Revolving Loan Commitments pursuant to this Section 5.07(a) if a
Possible Default or an Event of Default shall then exist, or immediately after giving effect to any
such increase would exist.




     (b) The Borrower shall have the right at all times to permanently reduce the Total Revolving
Loan Commitments in whole or in part by giving written notice of the reduction to the Agent at
least one Cleveland Banking Day prior to the reduction, each such reduction to be in an amount
equal to at least $10,000,000, or the then Total Revolving Loan Commitments if the then Total
Revolving Loan Commitments are less than $10,000,000. Each such reduction shall reduce each Bank’s
Commitment Pro rata. Concurrently with each reduction, the Borrower shall prepay the amount, if
any, together with interest thereon by which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Loans
plus the LC Obligation exceeds the Total Revolving Loan Commitments as so reduced in accordance
with Section 5.05 of this Agreement.



     SECTION 5.08. EXTENSIONS OF THE LOANS. Commencing on May 1, 2008 and on each May 1st thereafter, the Borrower may request the Banks to
extend the Termination Date for one additional year in a writing delivered to the Agent not later
than 180 days prior to the then applicable Termination Date, in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. The unanimous consent of the Banks shall be required for any such extension and the
Banks shall have the right, but not the obligation, to approve such request for an extension. Any
approval of the Borrower’s request shall be subject to such terms and conditions as the Banks may
deem appropriate.

in excess of the sum of the amounts sufficient to pay, when due, all interest payments in respect
of the Senior Notes and the amounts sufficient to pay, when due, all taxes of the Parent
(collectively, “Permitted Distributions”); provided, that any Permitted Distributions shall
be applied by the Parent strictly to the permitted uses specified above.



     SECTION 8.14(B). RESTRICTIONS ON DISTRIBUTIONS DURING A PAYMENT DEFAULT. In the event of
and during the continuance of any Payment Default, or if a Payment Default would occur as a result
of a Distribution, the Borrower shall not directly or indirectly declare or pay any Distributions
to the Parent.

other relevant documents due to an Event of Default under this Agreement unless the Banks
have provided a written notice of the Event of Default to the Borrower and all applicable

Sections 8.05(m) and (n) in connection with a Multi-Asset Acquisition shall be permitted;




     (vi) to the extent Permitted Debt of a Subsidiary may be secured under Section 8.05,
any Subsidiary of the Borrower (other than FCCC) may provide a second asset (including,
without limitation, cash, letters of credit or unencumbered real property) to secure
Permitted Debt of such Subsidiary or one other Subsidiary, so long as (A) the value of such
second asset (excluding cash and letters of credit) does not exceed $10,000,000 and (B) the
aggregate value of all such second assets (excluding cash and letters of credit) pledged by
all Subsidiaries (other than FCCC) to secure Permitted Debt does not exceed $40,000,000;




     (vii) FCCC may Cross-Collateralize Indebtedness incurred under one or more Total Rate

aggregate value of all unencumbered real property pledged by all Subsidiaries (other than
FCCC) under Section 8.15(b)(vi), as of such date.

or services to or for the benefit of any Persons specified therein or that prohibits or limits any
Bank or Agent from making any advances or extensions of credit to the Borrower or from otherwise
conducting business with the Borrower.



ARTICLE IX

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES




     Subject only to such exceptions, if any, as may be fully disclosed on Schedule 9.00 hereto
furnished by the Borrower to each Bank prior to the execution and delivery hereof, the Borrower
represents and warrants as follows:



     SECTION 9.01. EXISTENCE. The Borrower is a corporation duly organized and validly
existing in good standing under the laws of the State of Ohio and is duly qualified to transact
business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation in all jurisdictions (other than
jurisdictions in which the nature of the property owned or business conducted, when considered in
relation to the absence of serious penalties, renders qualification as a foreign corporation
unnecessary as a practical matter) where the nature of the property owned and business transacted
by the Borrower render such qualification necessary. Each of the Borrower’s Subsidiaries is duly
organized and existing in good standing in the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation. The
Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries has full power, authority,



-46-









 




and legal right to own and operate
its respective properties and to carry on the business in which it engages and intends to engage.




     SECTION 9.02. RIGHT TO ACT. No registration with or approval of any governmental agency
of any kind is required for the due execution and delivery or for the enforceability of this
Agreement and any Note issued pursuant to this Agreement. The Borrower has legal power and right
to execute and deliver this Agreement and any Note issued pursuant to this Agreement and to perform
and observe the provisions of this Agreement and any Note issued pursuant hereto and all such
actions have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action of the Borrower. By executing
and delivering this Agreement and any Note issued pursuant to this Agreement and by performing and
observing the provisions of this Agreement and any Note issued pursuant hereto, the Borrower will
not violate any existing provision of its Articles of Incorporation, Code of Regulations or any
applicable law or violate or otherwise become in default under any existing contract, agreement,
indenture or other obligation binding upon the Borrower. The officers executing and delivering
this Agreement on behalf of the Borrower have been duly authorized to do so.



     SECTION 9.03. BINDING EFFECT. This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of
the Borrower, and the Guaranty constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Parent, in both
cases enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, and the Notes, when executed and
delivered in accordance with this Agreement, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the
Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms.



     SECTION 9.04. LITIGATION. No litigation or proceeding is pending or being threatened
against the Borrower, the Parent or any Subsidiary before any court or any administrative agency
which might, if successful, be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower or the
Parent. The Internal Revenue Service has not alleged any default by the Borrower, the Parent or
any Subsidiary in the payment of any tax or threatened to make any assessment in respect thereof.



     SECTION 9.05. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT. No material Plan established or
maintained by the Borrower or any Domestic Subsidiary, which is subject to Part 3 of Subtitle B of
Title I of ERISA, had an accumulated funding deficiency (as such term is defined in Section 302 of
ERISA) as of the last day of the most recent fiscal year of such Plan ended prior to the date
hereof, or would have had an accumulated funding deficiency (as so defined) on such day if such
year were the first year of such Plan to which Part 3 of Subtitle B of Title I of that Act applied,
and no material liability to the PBGC, has been, or is expected by the Borrower or any Domestic
Subsidiary to be, incurred with respect to any such Plan by the Borrower or any Domestic
Subsidiary.



     SECTION 9.06. ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE. To the actual knowledge of the Borrower, the
Borrower and each Subsidiary are in compliance with any and all Environmental Laws including,
without limitation, all Environmental Laws in all jurisdictions in which the Borrower or any
Subsidiary owns or operates, or has owned or operated, a facility or site, arranges or has arranged
for disposal or treatment of hazardous
substances, solid waste or other wastes, accepts or has accepted for transport any hazardous
substances, solid waste or other wastes or holds or has held any interest in real property or
otherwise, for which failure to comply is likely to result in claims, penalties or fines in excess
of $500,000 for any single claim of



-47-









 




noncompliance or $5,000,000 in the aggregate for all such
claims and occurrences. No litigation or proceeding arising under, relating to or in connection
with any Environmental Law is pending or threatened against the Borrower or any Subsidiary, any
real property in which the Borrower or any Subsidiary holds or has held an interest or any past or
present operation of the Borrower or any Subsidiary. To the actual knowledge of the Borrower, no
release, threatened release or disposal of hazardous waste, solid waste or other wastes is
occurring, or has occurred, on, under, from, or to any real property in which the Borrower or any
Subsidiary holds any interest or performs any of its operations, in violation of any Environmental
Law that could reasonably be expected to result in claims of liability against the Borrower or any
Subsidiary in excess of $500,000 for any single claim or $5,000,000 in the aggregate for all such
claims. As used in this subsection, “litigation or proceeding” means any demand, claim, notice,
suit, suit in equity, action, administrative action, investigation or inquiry whether brought by
any governmental authority, private person or entity or otherwise.




     SECTION 9.07. SOLVENCY. The Borrower has received consideration which is the reasonable
equivalent value of the obligations and liabilities that the Borrower has incurred to the Banks.
The Borrower is not insolvent as defined in any applicable state or federal statute, nor will the
Borrower be rendered insolvent by the execution and delivery of this Agreement or any Note to the
Banks. The Borrower is not engaged or about to engage in any business or transaction for which the
assets retained by it shall be an unreasonably small capital, taking into consideration the
obligations to the Banks incurred hereunder. The Borrower does not intend to, nor does it believe
that it will, incur debts beyond its ability to pay them as they mature.



     SECTION 9.08. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The annual financial statements of the Borrower
prepared as of January 31, 2007, certified by the Borrower’s Chief Financial Officer and heretofore
furnished to each Bank, are true and complete, have been prepared in accordance with GAAP applied
on a basis consistent with those used by the Borrower during its immediately preceding full fiscal
year and fairly present its financial condition as of those dates and the results of its operations
for the periods set forth therein. Since January 31, 2007, there has been no change in the
Borrower’s financial condition, properties or business or in the financial condition, properties or
business of any Subsidiary, in each case that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect on the Parent or the Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.



     SECTION 9.09. DEFAULTS. No Event of Default or Possible Default exists hereunder, nor
will any begin to exist immediately after the execution and delivery hereof.



     SECTION 9.10. OPERATIONS. The Borrower and its Subsidiaries have obtained and continue to possess all permits, licenses
and authorizations the absence of which would materially and adversely affect the Borrower’s or a
Subsidiary’s ability to carry on its business in the ordinary course.



     SECTION 9.11. TITLE TO PROPERTIES; PATENTS, TRADE MARKS, ETC. The Borrower and its
Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all of their properties and assets, including,
without limitation, the properties and assets reflected in the financial statements referred to in
Section 9.08 (excepting, however, inventory and other immaterial assets, in each case sold or
otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course of business subsequent to the date of such financial
statements). There are no Liens of any nature whatsoever on any of the properties



-48-









 




or assets of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries other than such as are permitted under Section 8.05. The Borrower
and its Subsidiaries owns or possesses all the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names,
copyrights, and licenses and rights with respect to the foregoing necessary for the conduct of
their respective businesses as now conducted, without any known conflict with the valid rights of
others which would be inconsistent with the conduct of its business substantially as now conducted
and as currently proposed to be conducted.




     SECTION 9.12. COMPLIANCE WITH OTHER INSTRUMENTS. The Borrower and, to the best of the
Borrower’s knowledge, each Subsidiary is not in default in the performance, observance or
fulfillment of any of the material obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any evidence
of Indebtedness or Contingent Obligations. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement,
nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, nor compliance with the terms and
provisions hereof will violate the provisions of any applicable law or of any applicable order or
regulations of any governmental authority having jurisdiction over the Borrower or its
Subsidiaries, or will conflict with any material permit, license or authorization, or will conflict
with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any restriction or of
any agreement or instrument to which the Borrower is now a party, or will constitute a default
thereunder, or will result in the creation or imposition of any Lien upon any of the properties or
assets of the Borrower or any Subsidiary.



     SECTION 9.13. MATERIAL RESTRICTIONS. Neither the Borrower, nor the Parent nor any of
their respective Subsidiaries are a party to any agreement or other instrument or subject to any
other restriction which would have a Materially Adverse Effect on the Parent or the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.



     SECTION 9.14. CORRECTNESS OF DATA FURNISHED. This Agreement and all schedules and
exhibits attached hereto do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit a material
fact necessary to make the statements contained herein or therein not misleading; and there is no
fact not otherwise disclosed in writing to the Agent which, to the knowledge of the Borrower, would
have a Material Adverse Effect on the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.



     SECTION 9.15. TAXES. The Borrower, the Parent and each of their respective Subsidiaries has (a) timely filed all
returns required to be filed by it with respect to all taxes, (b) paid all taxes shown to have
become due pursuant to such returns, and (c) paid all other taxes for which a notice of assessment
or demand for payment has been received other than taxes that the Borrower, the Parent or such
Subsidiary is contesting in good faith with appropriate proceedings. All tax returns have been
prepared in accordance with all applicable laws and requirements and accurately reflect in all
material respects the taxable income (or other measure of tax) of the Borrower, the Parent or such
Subsidiary filing the same. The accruals for taxes contained in the financial statements referred
to in Section 9.08 are adequate under GAAP to cover all liabilities for taxes for all periods
ending on or before the date of such financial statements and include adequate provision for all
deferred taxes (including deferred federal taxes), and nothing has occurred subsequent to that date
to make any of such accruals inadequate. All taxes for periods beginning after the date of this
Agreement through and including the Restatement Effective Date have been paid or are adequately
reserved against on the books of the Borrower or the Parent, as applicable. The Borrower, the
Parent and each of their respective Subsidiaries has timely filed all information returns or
reports which are required to be filed and has accurately reported all information required to be
included on such returns or



-49-









 




reports. There are no proposed assessments of taxes against the
Borrower, the Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries nor proposed adjustments to any tax
return filed that, individually or in the aggregate, would have a Material Adverse Effect on the
Borrower or the Parent.




     SECTION 9.16. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. The Borrower and, to the best of the Borrower’s
knowledge, the Parent and each of their respective Subsidiaries is in compliance in all material
respects with all material laws, rules, regulations, court orders and decrees, and orders of any
governmental agency which are applicable to the Borrower, the Parent or their respective
Subsidiaries or to their respective properties.



     SECTION 9.17. REGULATION U, ETC. The Borrower does not own, nor does it have any present
intention of acquiring, any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U (12 CFR Part 221) of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (herein called “margin stock”). The proceeds
of the Loans will not be used, directly or indirectly, by the Borrower for the purpose of
purchasing or carrying, or for the purpose of reducing or retiring any Indebtedness or other
liability which was originally incurred to purchase or carry, any margin stock or for any other
purpose which might cause the transactions contemplated hereby to be considered a “purpose credit”
within the meaning of said Regulation U, or which might cause this Agreement to violate Regulation
U, Regulation T, Regulation X or any other regulation of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Upon request, the Borrower will promptly
furnish the Agent with a statement in conformity with the requirements of Federal Reserve Form U-1
referred to in said Regulation U.



     SECTION 9.18. [RESERVED].



     SECTION 9.19. SECURITIES ACT, ETC. Neither the registration of any security under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any other federal, state or local securities laws, nor the
qualification of the Agreement, the Notes and/or the Guaranty under the Trust Indenture Act of
1939, as amended, is required in connection with the Loans or the issuance and delivery of the
Notes pursuant hereto.



     SECTION 9.20. INVESTMENT COMPANY ACT. The Borrower is not, nor immediately after the
application by the Borrower of the proceeds of each Loan will the Borrower be, an “investment
company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.



     SECTION 9.21. INDEBTEDNESS OF SUBSIDIARIES. No Subsidiary has any Indebtedness other than
(a) on terms that limit recourse for the payment thereof to the real property or other assets of
the Subsidiary securing such Indebtedness, provided, that the assets securing such
Indebtedness were acquired or developed with the proceeds of such Indebtedness, (b) such
Indebtedness that is owed by a SPE Subsidiary, or (c) Indebtedness permitted under Section 8.04,
8.06 or 8.07 of this Agreement.



     SECTION 9.22. GUARANTIES.(a) All outstanding guaranties, including, but not limited
to Completion Guaranties, issued by the Parent and the maximum amounts guaranteed pursuant to each
such guaranty are set forth on Schedule 9.22 attached hereto.



-50-









 





     (b) With respect to each Completion Guaranty set forth on Schedule 9.22, the Parent has
received a budget for the relevant construction project and any interest reserve provided in
connection therewith is available to the construction lender only through project completion and
not through stabilization of the project.



     SECTION 9.23. INDEBTEDNESS. Schedule 9.23 attached hereto sets forth a complete and
accurate list of all Indebtedness, of each of the Parent and the Borrower (other than the Loans and
intercompany Indebtedness), not otherwise disclosed on the most recent financial statements
delivered by the Borrower to the Banks or by the Parent to the Banks, as applicable. All
intercompany Indebtedness of the Parent and the Borrower is subordinated in all respects to the
Borrower’s Debt to the Banks.



     SECTION 9.24. ANTI-TERRORISM LAW COMPLIANCE. Neither the Borrower nor any of its
Subsidiaries is in violation of any law, regulation, or list of any government agency (including,
without limitation, the U.S. Office of Foreign Asset Control list, Executive Order No. 13224 or the
USA Patriot Act) that prohibits or limits the conduct of business with or the receiving of funds,
goods or services to or for the benefit of any Persons specified therein or that prohibits or
limits any Bank or Agent from making any advances or extensions of credit to the Borrower or from
otherwise conducting business with the Borrower.

ARTICLE XII

appoints KeyBank National Association as the Agent of such Bank to act as specified in this
Agreement and each such Bank hereby irrevocably authorizes KeyBank National Association to take
such action as the Agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and perform such duties
hereunder as are expressly delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Agreement or any Related
Writing, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent agrees to
act as such upon the express conditions contained in this Article XII. Notwithstanding any
provision to the contrary elsewhere in this Agreement, the Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities, except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, or any fiduciary relationship
with any Bank or participant, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties,
obligations or liabilities shall be read into, created by or arise under this Agreement or any
Related Writing or otherwise exist against the Agent. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the Related Writings with reference
to any Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations
arising under agency doctrine of any applicable law. Instead, such term is used merely as a matter
of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between
independent contracting parties. Subject to the provisions of Sections 12.03 and 12.11, the Agent
shall administer the Loans in the same manner as it administers its own loans. The provisions of
this Article XII are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Banks, and neither the Borrower,
the Parent nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall have any rights as a third party
beneficiary of any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this
Agreement, the Agent shall act solely as agent of the Banks and the Agent does not assume and shall
not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of agency or trust with or for the
Borrower, the Parent or their respective Subsidiaries.



     SECTION 12.02. DELEGATION OF DUTIES. The Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement, the Notes or any Related Writing
by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and
other consultants or experts concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Agent shall not
be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it
in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct.



-55-









 





     SECTION 12.03. LIABILITY OF AGENT. Neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or affiliates shall be (a) liable for any action lawfully
taken or omitted to be taken by such Person under or in connection with this Agreement, the Notes
or the other Related Writings or the transactions contemplated hereby (except for its or such
Person’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set
forth herein) or (b) responsible in any manner to any of the Banks or any participant for any
recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by the Borrower, the Parent, or any of
their respective Subsidiaries or any of their responsible officers, contained in this Agreement or
any Related Writing, or for any failure of the Borrower, the Parent or any of their respective
Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, or any other party to this Agreement or any
Related Writing to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder, or for the validity,
effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement or any Related Writing.
Each Bank by its signature to this Agreement acknowledges and agrees that the Agent has made no
representation or warranty, express or implied, with respect to the creditworthiness, financial
condition or any other condition of Borrower, the Parent or any Subsidiary, or with respect to the
statements contained in any information memorandum furnished in connection herewith or in any other
oral or written communication between the Agent and such Bank. Each Bank represents that it has
made and shall continue to make its own independent investigation of the creditworthiness,
financial condition and affairs of Borrower, the Parent and any Subsidiary in connection with the
extension of credit hereunder, and agrees that the Agent has no duty or responsibility, either
initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Bank with any credit or other information with
respect thereto (other than such notices as may be expressly required to be given by Agent to the
Banks hereunder), whether coming into its possession before the granting of the first Loans or at
any time or times thereafter. The Agent shall not be under any obligation to any Bank or
participant to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements
contained in, or conditions of, this Agreement or any Related Writing, or to inspect the
properties, books or records of the Parent, the Borrower, any of their Subsidiaries or any
Affiliate of any of them.



     SECTION 12.04. RELIANCE BY AGENT. (a) The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be
fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, signature, notice, consent,
certificate, affidavit, letter, cablegram, facsimile transmission, telex or teletype message,
electronic mail message, statement, order or other document or conversation reasonably believed by
it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons
and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including counsel to the Borrower or the Parent),
independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agent. The Agent shall be fully
justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Agreement or the Notes or any
Related Writing unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Required Banks or
the Super Majority Banks, as it deems
appropriate, and, if it so requests, it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Banks
against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action. The Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or
in refraining from acting, under this Agreement, the Notes or the other Related Writings in
accordance with a request or consent of the Required Banks or the Super Majority Banks, as
applicable, and such request and any action or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding
upon all the Banks.



-56-









 





     (b) For purposes of determining compliance with the conditions specified in Article VI, each
Bank that has signed this Agreement shall be deemed to have consented to, approved or accepted or
to be satisfied with, each document or other matter required thereunder to be consented to or
approved by or acceptable or satisfactory to a Bank unless the Agent shall have received written
notice from such Bank prior to the Restatement Effective Date or from an Additional Bank prior to
the applicable Additional Bank Assumption Effective Date, as applicable, specifying its objection
thereto.



     SECTION 12.05. RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF THE AGENT; SUCCESSOR AGENT. The Agent may resign
upon twenty (20) days’ notice to the Banks or the Agent may be removed by the vote of the Required
Banks (excluding the Agent). Upon the resignation or removal of the Agent, the Required Banks
shall appoint from among the Banks a successor Agent for the Banks subject to prior approval of the
Borrower so long as no Possible Default or Event of Default then exists (such approval not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed), whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights,
powers and duties of the Agent, and the term “Agent” shall include such successor agent effective
upon its appointment, and the resigning or removed Agent’s rights, powers and duties as the Agent
shall be terminated, without any other or further act or deed on the part of the former Agent or
any of the parties to this Agreement. After the resignation or removal of the Agent hereunder, the
provisions of this Article XII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it while it was Agent under this Agreement. In the event no successor agent has been
appointed by the end of such twenty (20) day period in the case of a resignation or upon the
removal of the Agent by the Required Banks (excluding the Agent), the resignation or removal of the
Agent shall become effective and the Required Banks shall perform the duties of the Agent until a
successor agent is appointed.



     SECTION 12.06. NOTE HOLDERS. The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the
holder thereof for all purposes unless and until written notice of the assignment, transfer or
endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Agent. Any request,
authority or consent of any Person or entity who, at the time of making such request or giving such
authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent
holder, transferee, assignee or indorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any Note or Notes
issued in exchange therefor.



     SECTION 12.07. CONSULTATION WITH COUNSEL. (a) The Agent may consult with legal counsel reasonably selected by it and shall not be liable
for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the opinion of such
counsel.



     (b) Should the Agent (i) employ counsel for advice or other representation (whether or not any
suit has been or shall be filed) with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or any of the Related
Writings, or (ii) commence any proceeding or in any way seek to enforce its rights or remedies
under this Agreement, the Notes or any Related Writing, each Bank, upon demand therefor from time
to time, shall contribute its share (based on its Pro rata share) of the reasonable costs and/or
expenses of any such advice or other representation, enforcement or acquisition, including, but not
limited to, fees of receivers, court costs and fees and expenses of attorneys to the extent not
otherwise reimbursed by Borrower; provided, that the Agent shall not be entitled to
reimbursement of its attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred in connection with the resolution of
disputes between the Agent and the other Banks unless the Agent shall be the



-57-









 




prevailing party in
any such dispute and, provided, further, that the Agent shall only be entitled to
such reimbursement from those Banks that were involved in the dispute with the Agent. Any loss of
principal and interest resulting from any Event of Default shall be shared by the Banks in
accordance with their respective Pro rata shares.




     SECTION 12.08. DOCUMENTS. The Agent shall not be under a duty to examine into or pass
upon the validity, effectiveness, genuineness or value of this Agreement, the Notes or any other
Related Writing furnished pursuant hereto or in connection herewith or the value of any collateral
obtained hereunder, and the Agent shall be entitled to assume that the same are valid, effective
and genuine and what they purport to be.



     SECTION 12.09. KNOWLEDGE OF DEFAULT. It is expressly understood and agreed that the Agent
shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Possible Default or Event
of Default hereunder (other than the failure to make available to the Agent any principal of or
interest on the Loans for the account of the Banks as required under this Agreement and the Notes),
unless the Agent has actually received written notice from a Bank or the Borrower describing such
Possible Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” In the
event that the Agent receives such a notice, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the
Banks. The Agent shall take such action with respect to such Default or Event of Default as shall
be reasonably directed by the Required Banks; provided, that unless and until the Agent
shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such
action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Possible Default or Event of
Default as it shall deem advisable or in the best interests of the Banks.



     SECTION 12.10. INDEMNIFICATION. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated, the Banks agree to indemnify upon demand the Agent in its capacity as such (to the
extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the Borrower’s obligation to do so), Pro
rata according to the respective principal amounts of their Commitment from and against any and all
liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted
against the Agent in its capacity as agent in any way relating to or arising out of this Agreement,
the Notes or any Related Writing, or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or any action
taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent under or in connection with the foregoing,
provided, that no Bank shall be liable to the Agent for any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements to the extent determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from the Agent’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or from any
action taken or omitted by the Agent in any capacity other than as agent under this Agreement,
provided, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders or
the Super Majority Lenders, as applicable, shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or
willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 12.10. If any indemnity furnished to the Agent for
any purpose shall, in the reasonable opinion of the Agent, be insufficient or become impaired, the
Agent may call for additional indemnity and cease, or not commence, to do the acts indemnified
against until such additional indemnity is furnished. The agreements in this Section 12.10 shall
survive the termination of this Agreement, the payment of the Debt and the resignation of the
Agent. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Bank shall reimburse the Agent upon demand for
its Pro rata share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses



-58-









 




(including reasonable attorneys’ fees)
incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery,
administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal
proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this
Agreement, any Related Writing or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent
that the Agent is not reimbursed for such costs or expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower.




     SECTION 12.11. AGENTS IN THEIR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES. KeyBank National Association,
National City Bank and their respective Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for
the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in and generally engage in any kind
of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with each of the Parent, the
Borrower and their respective Subsidiaries as though KeyBank National Association or National City
Bank, as applicable, were not an Agent and, without notice to or consent of the Banks. The Banks
acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, KeyBank National Association, National City Bank or
their respective Affiliates may receive information regarding the Parent, the Borrower or their
Subsidiaries (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of
the Parent, the Borrower or their Subsidiaries) and acknowledge that the Agents shall be under no
obligation to provide such information to them. With respect to its Loans, each of KeyBank
National Association and National City Bank and their respective Affiliates shall have the same
rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise such rights and powers as
though it were not the Agent or the Syndication Agent, as the case may be, and the terms “Bank” and
“Banks” include KeyBank National Association and National City in their individual capacities.



     SECTION 12.12. EQUALIZATION PROVISION. Each Bank agrees with the other Banks that if it at any time shall obtain any Advantage over the
other Banks or any thereof in respect of Borrower’s Debt to the Banks including without limitation
in respect of the letters of credit described in Schedule 3.01 hereof (except as to Swing Loans
prior to the Agent’s giving of notice to participate and under Sections 4.06, 4.07, 4.08, 4.09,
4.10 and/or 4.11, hereof), it will purchase from the other Banks, for cash and at par, such
additional participation in Borrower’s Debt to the Banks as shall be necessary to nullify the
Advantage. If any said Advantage resulting in the purchase of an additional participation as
aforesaid shall be recovered in whole or in part from the Bank receiving the Advantage each such
purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase price restored (but without interest unless the Bank
receiving the Advantage is required to pay interest on the Advantage to the Person recovering the
Advantage from such Bank) ratably to the extent of the recovery. Each Bank further agrees with the
other Banks that if it at any time shall receive any payment from or on behalf of Borrower on any
Indebtedness owing by the Borrower to that Bank by reason of offset of any deposit or other
Indebtedness, it will apply such payment first to any and all Debt owing by Borrower to that Bank
pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any participation purchased or to be
purchased pursuant to this Section 12.13) until Borrower’s Debt has been paid in full. The
Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from the other Banks pursuant to this
Section may exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect to
such participation as fully as if such Bank were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of
such participation.



-59-









 





     SECTION 12.13. NO RELIANCE ON AGENTS’ CUSTOMER IDENTIFICATION PROGRAMS. Each Bank
acknowledges and agrees that neither such Bank, nor any of its Affiliates, participants or
assignees may rely on the Agents, or either of them, to carry out such Bank’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 or any other
Anti-Terrorism Law, including, without limitation, any identity verification procedures, any record
keeping, any comparisons with government lists, any customer notices or any other procedures
required under the USA Patriot Act, its regulations or any other Anti-Terrorism Law.

of dealing on the part of Agent, any Bank or the holder of any Note in exercising any right, power
or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right, power or remedy hereunder. The remedies herein provided are cumulative and in
addition to any other rights, powers or privileges that the Agent or any Bank would otherwise have.
No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or

consents ratified by the Banks hereunder shall immediately be forwarded by the Agent to all Banks,
provided, that, notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Agent and
the Swing Line Lenders shall have the right to decrease the interest rate on the Swing Loans,
extend the maturity of payments on the Swing Loans for ten (10) days beyond the applicable Swing
Loan Maturity Date and decrease the amount of payments on the Swing Loans, without the consent of
any other Banks, other than the other Swing Line Lender and any Bank that has purchased a

shall be bound by any amendment, waiver or consent obtained as authorized by this Section 13.02,
regardless of its failure to agree thereto.




     By its signature hereto, each Bank consents to the terms and provisions of the Amended and
Restated Guaranty, dated as of the date hereof, and issued by the Parent to the Banks, the Agents,
and the Co-Documentation Agents.

or other transactions in connection with which given.



     SECTION 13.06. OBLIGATIONS SEVERAL; NO FIDUCIARY OBLIGATIONS. The obligations of the
Banks hereunder are several and not joint. Nothing contained in this Agreement and no action taken
by the Agents or the Banks pursuant hereto shall be deemed to constitute the Banks a partnership,
association, joint venture or other entity. No default by any Bank hereunder shall excuse the
other Banks from any obligation under this Agreement; but no Bank shall have or acquire any
additional obligation of any kind by reason of such default. The relationship among the Borrower
and the Banks with respect to this Agreement, any Note and any Related Writing is and shall be
solely that of debtor and creditor, respectively, and no Bank has any fiduciary obligation toward
the Borrower with respect to any such documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.



     SECTION 13.07. EXECUTION IN COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so
executed and delivered shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall
constitute but one and the same agreement.



     SECTION 13.08. BINDING EFFECT; ASSIGNMENT. (a) This Agreement shall become effective on
the date (the “Restatement Effective Date”) (i) when it shall have been executed by the Borrower,
the Agents and by each Bank and shall have been delivered to the Agent and (ii) when the conditions
set forth in Article VI are met to the satisfaction of, or waived in writing by, the Agent and the
Required Lenders, and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower and
each of the Banks and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not
have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written
consent of all of the Banks, which consent may be withheld in their sole discretion. Each Bank may
at any time grant participations in any of its rights hereunder or under its Note or Notes to
another commercial bank, financial institution, mutual fund or any institutional “accredited
investor” (as defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended), provided,
that in the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this
Agreement, the Notes or any Related Writing (the participant’s rights against such Bank in respect
of any such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Bank in favor of
the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by such Bank hereunder shall be
determined as if such Bank had not sold such participation; and provided, further,
that no Bank shall transfer, assign or grant any participation under this Agreement under which the
participant shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any
Related Writing.

     (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) any Bank may assign all or a portion of its Loans
and/or Commitments and its rights and obligations hereunder to an affiliate of such Bank and (ii)
with the consent of the Agent and the Borrower so long as no Possible Default or Event of Default
then exists (which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), any Bank may assign all
or a portion of its Loans and/or Commitments and its rights and obligations hereunder to one or
more commercial banks, financial institutions (including one or more Banks), mutual funds or
institutional “accredited investors” (as defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended), provided, that (A) any assignment of a Bank’s Loans shall include a ratable part
of such Bank’s Commitment, and (B) the consent of the Agent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment of a Commitment to the
extent any letters of credit are outstanding. No assignment pursuant to subsection (ii) of the
immediately preceding sentence shall be in an aggregate amount less than Ten Million Dollars
($10,000,000). If any Bank so sells all or a part of its rights hereunder or under any Note, any
reference in this Agreement or such Note to such assigning Bank shall thereafter refer to such Bank
and to the respective assignee to the extent of their respective interests and the respective
assignee shall have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided therein), the same
rights and benefits as it would if it were such assigning Bank. Each assignment pursuant to
Section 13.08(b)(ii) shall be effected by the assigning Bank and the assignee Bank executing a Bank
Assignment and Assumption Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit G (appropriately
completed). At the time of any such assignment pursuant to Section 13.08(b)(ii), (X) Exhibit A
shall be deemed to be amended to reflect the Commitments
of the respective assignee (which shall result in a corresponding reduction of the Commitment
of the assigning Bank) and of the other Banks (Y) if any such assignment occurs after the
Restatement Effective Date, the Borrower will issue new Notes to the respective assignee and to the
assigning Bank (upon delivery of the existing Note or Notes of such assigning Bank) in conformity
with the requirements of this Agreement and (Z) the Agent shall receive at the time of each such
assignment, from the assigning or assignee Bank, the payment of a nonrefundable assignment fee of
$3,000.



     (c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 13.08, no transfer or assignment of
the interests or obligations of any Bank hereunder or any grant of participations therein shall be
permitted if such transfer, assignment or grant would require the Borrower to file a registration
Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission or to qualify the loans under the “Blue Sky”
laws of any State.



     (d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 13.08, so long as no Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing and the Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent, as
applicable, has not resigned or been removed pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, each
Agent agrees that it will not assign or transfer any of its Loans and/or Commitments to the extent
that the amount of the Loans and/or Commitments that such Agent would continue to hold following
such assignment or transfer would be less than ten percent (10%) of the aggregate Loans and/or
Commitments of all of the Banks.



     (e) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Bank may at any time
pledge or assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement, the Guaranty and the other
documents executed and delivered in connection therewith (including, without limitation, the Notes
held by it) to any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of



-63-









 




the Federal Reserve
Board without notice to, or the consent of, the Agents, the Borrower or the Parent,
provided, that no such pledge or assignment or enforcement thereof shall release a Bank
from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Bank as a
party hereto.




     SECTION 13.09. INDEMNIFICATION BY THE BORROWER. The Borrower shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Agents, the Banks and their respective directors, officers, employees and Affiliates
from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever including,
without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and settlements costs, which may
be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agents, the Banks and their respective
directors, officers, employees and Affiliates in connection with any investigative, administrative
or judicial proceeding (whether the Agents and the Banks are or are not designated as a party
thereto) relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Notes or the other Related Writings, the
transactions contemplated thereby, including, but not limited to, the Permitted Non-Affiliate
Loans, or any actual or proposed use of proceeds hereunder or thereunder, except that neither the
Agents and the Banks nor any directors, officers, employees and Affiliates thereof shall have the
right to be indemnified hereunder for their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. All
obligations under this Section 13.09 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.



     SECTION 13.10. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement, each of the Notes and any Related Writing
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, without regard
to the principles of conflict of laws and the respective rights and obligations of the Borrower and
the Banks shall be governed by Ohio law.



     SECTION 13.11. SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS; CAPTIONS. Any provision of this Agreement
which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any
other jurisdiction. The several headings to Sections and subsections herein are inserted for
convenience only and shall be ignored in interpreting the provisions of this Agreement.



     SECTION 13.12. PURPOSE. Each of the Banks represents and warrants to the Borrower that it
is entering into this Agreement with the present intention of acquiring any Note issued pursuant
hereto solely in connection with such Bank’s commercial lending activities and not for the purpose
of distribution or resale, it being understood, however, that each Bank shall at all times retain
full control over the disposition of its assets.



     SECTION 13.13. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. The Borrower agrees that any action or proceeding
to enforce or arising out of this Agreement may be commenced in the Court of Common Pleas for
Cuyahoga County, Ohio or in the District Court of the United States for the Northern District of
Ohio, and the Borrower waives personal service of process and agrees that a summons and complaint
commencing an action or proceeding in any such court shall be properly served and shall confer
personal jurisdiction over the Borrower if served to the Borrower at the address listed opposite
the signature of the Borrower at the end of this Agreement or as otherwise provided by the laws of
the State of Ohio or the United States.

     SECTION 13.14. ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, the Notes, the Related Writings and any
other agreement, document or instrument attached hereto or referred to herein or executed on or as
of the date hereof integrate all the terms and conditions mentioned herein or incidental hereto and
supersede all oral representations and negotiations and prior writings with respect to the subject
matter hereof.



     SECTION 13.15. JURY TRIAL WAIVER. THE BORROWER AND EACH OF THE BANKS WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO
HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE,
AMONG BORROWER AND THE BANKS, OR ANY THEREOF, ARISING OUT OF, IN CONNECTION WITH, RELATED TO, OR
INCIDENTAL TO THE
RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY NOTE OR OTHER
INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS
RELATED THERETO. THIS WAIVER SHALL NOT IN ANY WAY AFFECT, WAIVE, LIMIT, AMEND OR MODIFY ANY BANK’S
ABILITY TO PURSUE REMEDIES PURSUANT TO ANY CONFESSION OF JUDGMENT OR COGNOVIT PROVISION CONTAINED
IN ANY NOTE OR OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT AMONG THE BORROWER AND THE BANKS, OR ANY
THEREOF.



     SECTION 13.16. SURVIVAL. All indemnities set forth herein shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the making and repayment of the Loans and the satisfaction of all
other obligations under this Agreement.



     SECTION 13.17. INDEPENDENCE OF COVENANTS. All covenants hereunder shall be given
independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such
covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the
limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Possible Default or an Event
of Default if such action is taken or condition exists, and if a particular action or condition is
expressly permitted under any covenant, unless expressly limited to such covenant, the fact that it
would not be permitted under the general provisions of another covenant shall not constitute a
Possible Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.



     SECTION 13.18. INTERPRETATION. The Borrower, each Agent and each Bank acknowledges that
such party, either directly or through such party’s representatives, has participated in the
drafting of this Agreement, and any applicable rule of construction that ambiguities are to be
resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in connection with the construction or
interpretation of this Agreement.



     SECTION 13.19. GENERAL LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. No claim may be made by the Borrower, the
Parent, any Subsidiary of the Parent, any Bank, the Agent, the Syndication Agent, any
Co-Documentation Agent or any other Person against the Agent, the Syndication Agent, any
Co-Documentation Agent or any other Bank or the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees,
attorneys or agents of any of them for any damages other than compensatory damages in respect of
any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Notes, the Guaranty or any other Related Writing,
or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and the Borrower, each Bank, the
Agent, the Syndication Agent and each Co-Documentation Agent



-65-









 




hereby, to the fullest extent
permitted under applicable law, waives, releases and agrees not to sue or counterclaim upon any
such claim for any special, consequential or punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether
or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.




     SECTION 13.20. USA PATRIOT ACT NOTIFICATION.


 Each Bank, each Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Bank) and each Co-Documentation
Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Bank) hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the
requirements of the USA Patriot Act, such Bank, such Agent and such Co-Documentation Agent are
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Borrower, which information
includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender,
such Agent or such Co-Documentation Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance
with the USA Patriot Act.

FORM OF REVOLVING LOAN NOTE




AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING LOAN NOTE

(Holder)




	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	$

	 	 	 	 
	 	Cleveland, Ohio
	 

	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	 	 	 	 	 






     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, FOREST CITY RENTAL PROPERTIES CORPORATION, an Ohio
corporation (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of [Name of Holder] (the
“Holder”), in lawful money of the United States of America, at the main office of KeyBank National
Association, Administrative Agent, 127 Public Square, Cleveland, Ohio 44114, the principal sum of
[                                        ] DOLLARS ($[                    ]), or, if lesser, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
all Revolving Loans evidenced by this Note (as hereinafter defined) made by the Holder to the
Borrower pursuant to Section 2.03 of the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined). The unpaid
principal balance outstanding on this Amended and Restated Revolving Loan Note (this “Note”) from
time to time and interest thereon shall be determined by the ledgers and records of the Holder as
accurately maintained.



     This Note is one of the Revolving Loan Notes defined and referred to in, and is entitled to
the benefits of, a certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 6, 2007, by and
among the Borrower, the Banks named therein, KeyBank National Association, as Administrative Agent,
National City Bank, as Syndication Agent and Bank of America, N.A. and LaSalle Bank National
Association, as Co-Documentation Agents (as so amended, and as it may be further amended, amended
and restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). A statement of the
rights of the Holder and the duties and obligations of the Borrower in relation thereto is made by
reference to the Credit Agreement, but neither this reference to the Credit Agreement nor any
provision thereof shall affect or impair the absolute and unconditional obligation of the Borrower
to pay the principal of and interest on this Note when due. Capitalized terms used in this Note
but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.



     This Note amends, restates and replaces in its entirety the Revolving Loan Note dated as of
June 30, 2006 by the Borrower in favor of the Holder (the “Original Note”) and is not intended as,
and shall not be deemed to be, a repayment, cancellation, refinancing or replacement of the
Indebtedness created by the Original Note, but rather as a consolidation and continuation of such
Indebtedness on the terms set forth in the Credit Agreement.



     The principal of this Note shall be due and payable on the Termination Date, or earlier as
provided in the Credit Agreement. The Borrower also promises to pay interest on the unpaid
principal amount of this Note from time to time outstanding from the date of this Note until the
payment in full thereof at the rates per annum determined in accordance with the Credit



 









 






Agreement. Interest shall be payable on each date provided for in or determined in accordance
with the provisions of the Credit Agreement; provided, that interest on any principal not paid
when due shall be due and payable on demand.



     Interest on this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number
of days elapsed.



     Reference is hereby made to the Credit Agreement, which contains provisions for the
acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain stated events and for voluntary
prepayments hereon. The term “Holder” includes the successors and assigns, if any, of the Holder
named in the first paragraph hereof.



     If this Note shall not be paid at maturity, whether such maturity occurs by reason of lapse of
time or by operation of any provision for acceleration of maturity contained in the Credit
Agreement, the principal hereof and the unpaid interest thereon shall bear interest, until paid, at
a rate(s) equal to the rate(s) otherwise in effect pursuant to the Credit Agreement plus two
percent (2%) per annum. All payments of principal and interest on this Note shall be made in
immediately available funds.



     The Borrower waives demand, presentment for payment, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of
protest, and diligence in collection and bringing suit, and agrees that the Holder may extend the
time for payment, accept partial payment, take security therefor or exchange or release any
collateral, without discharging or releasing the Borrower.



     This Note was executed in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. The construction, validity and
enforceability of this Note shall be governed by and interpreted according to the laws of the State
of Ohio.



     The Borrower authorizes any attorney at law to appear before any court of record, whether
state or Federal, in the county where this Note was executed or where the Borrower resides or may
be found, after the unpaid principal balance of this Note becomes due, either by lapse of time or
by operation of any provision for acceleration of maturity contained in the Credit Agreement, and
waive the issuance and service of process, admit the maturity of this Note, by reason of
acceleration or otherwise, and confess judgment against the Borrower in favor of the Holder of this
Note for the amount then appearing due on this Note, together with interest thereon and costs of
suit, and thereupon to release all errors and waive all rights of appeal and stays of execution.
The Borrower expressly authorizes any attorneys or agents for the Holder to receive compensation
from the Holder for services rendered in exercising the foregoing warrant of attorney and in the
enforcement of any judgment obtained against the Borrower in favor of the Holder on this Note, and
the Borrower expressly waives any conflict of interest to which any attorneys for the Holder may be
subject that may arise in connection with such attorneys exercising any of the rights and/or powers
of the Holder provided for herein or the enforcement of any judgment hereon in favor of the Holder.
The foregoing warrant of attorney shall survive any judgment and may be used from time to time
without exhausting the right to further use the warrant of attorney and, if any judgment be vacated
for any reason, the Holder of this Note nevertheless may use the foregoing warrant of attorney to
obtain an additional judgment or judgments against the Borrower.

corporation (the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of                                                             (the
“Holder”), in lawful money of the United States of America at the main office of KeyBank National
Association, Administrative Agent, 127 Public Square, Cleveland, Ohio 44114, the principal sum of
                                                             DOLLARS ($               
     ), or, if lesser, the aggregate unpaid principal
amount of all Swing Loans evidenced by this Amended and Restated Swing Line Note (this “Note”) made
by the Holder to the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.07 of the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter
defined). The unpaid principal balance outstanding on this Note from time to time and interest
thereon shall be determined by the ledgers and records of the Holder as accurately maintained.



     This Note is one of the Swing Line Notes defined and referred to in, and is entitled to the
benefits of, a certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of June 6, 2007, by and among
the Borrower, the Banks named therein, KeyBank National Association, as Administrative Agent,
National City Bank, as Syndication Agent and Bank of America, N.A. and LaSalle Bank National
Association, as Co-Documentation Agents (as so amended, and as it may be further amended, amended
and restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). A statement of the
rights of the Holder and the duties and obligations of the Borrower in relation thereto is made by
reference to the Credit Agreement, but neither this reference to the Credit Agreement nor any
provision thereof shall affect or impair the absolute and unconditional obligation of the Borrower
to pay the principal of and interest on this Note when due. Capitalized terms used in this Note
but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Credit Agreement.



     This Note amends, restates and replaces in its entirety the Swing Line Note dated as of April
7, 2005, by the Borrower in favor of the Holder (the “Original Note”) and is not intended as, and
shall not be deemed to be, a repayment, cancellation, refinancing or replacement of the
Indebtedness created by the Original Note, but rather as a consolidation and continuation of such
Indebtedness on the terms set forth in the Credit Agreement.



     The principal of this Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Swing Loan Maturity
Date applicable thereto and the Termination Date. The Borrower also promises to pay interest on
the unpaid principal amount of this Note from time to time outstanding from the date of this Note
until the payment in full thereof at the rates per annum determined in accordance with Section 2.07
of the Credit Agreement. Interest shall be payable on each date provided for in or determined in
accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement; provided, that interest on any principal
not paid when due shall be due and payable on demand.



 









 





     Interest on this Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 360 day year for the actual number
of days elapsed.



     Reference is hereby made to the Credit Agreement, which contains provisions for the
acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain stated events and for voluntary
prepayments hereon. The term “Holder” includes the successors and assigns, if any, of the Holder
named in the first paragraph hereof.



     If this Note shall not be paid at maturity, whether such maturity occurs by reason of lapse of
time or by operation of any provision for acceleration of maturity contained in the Credit
Agreement, the principal hereof and the unpaid interest thereon shall bear interest, until paid, at
a rate(s) equal to the rate(s) otherwise in effect pursuant to the Credit Agreement plus two
percent (2%) per annum. All payments of principal and interest on this Note shall be made in
immediately available funds.



     The Borrower waives demand, presentment for payment, notice of dishonor, protest, notice of
protest, and diligence in collection and bringing suit, and agrees that the Holder may extend the
time for payment, accept partial payment, take security therefor or exchange or release any
collateral, without discharging or releasing the Borrower.



     This Note was executed in Cleveland, Cuyahoga County, Ohio. The construction, validity and
enforceability of this Note shall be governed by and interpreted according to the laws of the State
of Ohio.



     The Borrower authorizes any attorney at law to appear before any court of record, whether
state or Federal, in the county where this Note was executed or where the Borrower resides or may
be found, after the unpaid principal balance of this Note becomes due, either by lapse of time or
by operation of any provision for acceleration of maturity contained in the Credit Agreement, and
waive the issuance and service of process, admit the maturity of this Note, by reason of
acceleration or otherwise, and confess judgment against the Borrower in favor of the Holder of this
Note for the amount then appearing due on this Note, together with interest thereon and costs of
suit, and thereupon to release all errors and waive all rights of appeal and stays of execution.
The Borrower expressly authorizes any attorneys or agents for the Holder to receive compensation
from the Holder for services rendered in exercising the foregoing warrant of attorney and in the
enforcement of any judgment obtained against the Borrower in favor of the Holder on this Note, and
the Borrower expressly waives any conflict of interest to which any attorneys for the Holder may be
subject that may arise in connection with such attorneys exercising any of the rights and/or powers
of the Holder provided for herein or the enforcement of any judgment hereon in favor of the Holder.
The foregoing warrant of attorney shall survive any judgment and may be used from time to time
without exhausting the right to further use the warrant of attorney and, if any judgment be vacated
for any reason, the Holder of this Note nevertheless may use the foregoing warrant of attorney to
obtain an additional judgment or judgments against the Borrower.



 









 





     “WARNING — BY SIGNING THIS PAPER YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO NOTICE AND COURT TRIAL. IF
YOU DO NOT PAY ON TIME A COURT JUDGMENT MAY BE TAKEN AGAINST YOU WITHOUT YOUR PRIOR KNOWLEDGE AND
THE POWERS OF A COURT CAN BE USED TO COLLECT FROM YOU REGARDLESS OF ANY CLAIMS YOU MAY HAVE AGAINST
THE CREDITOR WHETHER FOR RETURNED GOODS, FAULTY GOODS, FAILURE ON HIS PART TO COMPLY WITH THE
AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER CAUSE.”

FORM OF ASSIGNMENT AND ASSUMPTION AGREEMENT





     This Assignment and Assumption Agreement
(this “Assignment Agreement”) between                                        
(the “Assignor”) and
                    
(the “Assignee”) is dated as of                     .



W I T N E S S E T H:




     WHEREAS, the Assignor is a party to a certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as
of June 6, 2007, by and among Forest City Rental Properties Corporation, an Ohio corporation (the
“Borrower”), the Banks named therein, KeyBank National Association, as Administrative Agent
(hereinafter referred to as the “Agent”), National City Bank, as Syndication Agent and Bank of
America, N.A. and LaSalle Bank National Association, as Co-Documentation Agents (as so amended, and
as it may be further amended, amended and restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the
“Credit Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings attributed to them in the Credit Agreement; and



     WHEREAS, the Assignor is willing to sell and assign to the Assignee, and the Assignee is
willing to purchase and assume from the Assignor, all or a portion of the Assignor’s Loans and/or
Commitments under the Credit Agreement;



     NOW, THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed as follows:



     1. The Assignor hereby sells and assigns (without recourse) to the Assignee, and the Assignee
hereby purchases and assumes from the Assignor, as of the date hereof, all or a portion of the
Assignor’s Revolving Loans, which amount shall not be less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000)
to the extent that the Assignee is not an Affiliate of the Assignor, and the pro-rata share of the
Assignor’s Commitment as each specified on Schedule 1 attached hereto and the Assignor’s
corresponding rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement. After giving effect to such sale
and assignment, the Assignee’s Commitment and the amount of the Revolving Loans owing to the
Assignee will be as set forth in Item 2(C) and Item 2(F) of Schedule 1 respectively.



     2. The effective date of this Assignment Agreement (the “Effective Date”) shall be the date
specified in Item 3 of Schedule 1. In no event will the Effective Date occur if the assignment
fees required to be paid to the Agent under Section 3 hereof are not paid on or prior to
the proposed Effective Date, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by the Agent. The Assignor will
(i) no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the proposed Effective Date, notify the Agent of
the proposed Effective Date; (ii) if the Assignor and the Assignee are not affiliated entities,
obtain consents of this assignment from the Agent and the Borrower, if required, prior to the
proposed Effective Date, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (iii) to
the extent any letters of credit are outstanding, obtain consents of this assignment from the Agent
prior to the proposed Effective Date, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
Upon such acceptance and recording by the Agent, as of the



-1-









 






Effective Date, (i) the Assignee shall be a party to the Credit Agreement and, to the extent
provided in this Assignment Agreement, have the same rights and obligations thereunder as it would
if it were the Assignor; and (ii) the Assignor shall relinquish its rights and be released from its
corresponding obligations under the Credit Agreement with respect to the rights and obligations
assigned to the Assignee hereunder.



     3. The Agent shall be paid a nonrefundable assignment fee by [the Assignor] [the Assignee] in
the amount of $3,000 on or prior to the Effective Date. On and after the Effective Date, the
Assignee shall be entitled to receive from the Agent all payments of principal, interest and fees
with respect to the interest assigned hereby. In consideration for the sale and assignment of
Loans hereunder, the Assignee shall pay the Assignor, on or prior to the Effective Date, an amount
equal to $                    . The Assignee will promptly remit to the Assignor (i) the portion of any
principal payments assigned hereunder and received from the Agent with respect to any such Loan
prior to the Effective Date and (ii) any amounts of interest on Loans and fees received from the
Agent which relate to the portion of the Loans assigned to the Assignee hereunder for periods prior
to the Effective Date and not previously paid by the Assignee to the Assignor. In the event that
either party hereto receives any payment to which the other party hereto is entitled under this
Assignment Agreement, then the party receiving such amount shall promptly remit it to the other
party hereto.



     4. Upon such acceptance and recording by the Agent, from and after the Effective Date, the
Agent shall make all payments under the Credit Agreement and the Revolving Loan Notes in respect of
the interest assigned hereby (including, without limitation, all payments of principal, interest
and commitment fees with respect thereto) to the Assignee. The Assignor and Assignee shall make
all appropriate adjustments in payments under the Credit Agreement and the Revolving Loan Notes for
periods prior to the Effective Date directly between themselves.



     5. If any reduction in the Revolving Loans occurs between the date of this Assignment
Agreement and the Effective Date, the percentage interest specified in Item 2(B) of Schedule 1
shall remain the same, but the dollar amount purchased shall be recalculated based on the reduced
Revolving Loan amount.



     6. The Assignor (i) represents and warrants that (A) it is the legal and beneficial owner of
the interest being assigned by it hereunder, (B) such interest is free and clear of any adverse
claim, and (C) no Possible Default or Event of Default exists; (ii) makes no representation or
warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or
representations made in or in connection with the Credit Agreement or the execution, legality,
validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of the Credit Agreement or any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) makes no representation or warranty and
assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition or the creditworthiness of the
Borrower or the performance or observance by the Borrower of any of its obligations under the
Credit Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; and (iv) attaches
the Revolving Loan Note or Revolving Loan Notes held by the Assignor and requests that the Agent
exchange such Revolving Loan Note or Revolving Loan Notes for a new Revolving Loan Note or
Revolving Loan Notes payable to the order of the Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment
assumed by the Assignee pursuant hereto and the Assignor in an amount equal to the Commitment
retained by the Assignor under the Credit



-2-









 






Agreement, respectively, as specified on Schedule 1. It is understood and agreed that the
assignment and assumption hereunder are made without recourse to the Assignor and that the Assignor
makes no other representation or warranty of any kind to the Assignee.



     7. The Assignee (i) represents and warrants that it is a commercial bank, financial
institution, mutual fund or institutional “accredited investor” (as defined in Regulation D of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended); (ii) confirms that it has received a copy of the Credit
Agreement and each of the other Related Writings, together with copies of the financial statements
requested by the Assignee and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to
make its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Assignment Agreement; (iii) agrees
that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent, the Assignor or any other Bank and
based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make
its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under the Credit Agreement; (iv) appoints
and authorizes the Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers and
discretion under the Credit Agreement as are delegated to the Agent by the terms thereof, together
with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto; (v) agrees that it will
perform in accordance with their terms of all of the obligations that by the terms of the Credit
Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Bank; (vi) if the Assignee is organized under the
laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, attaches the forms prescribed by the Internal
Revenue Service of the United States certifying as to the Assignee’s status for purposes of
determining exemption from United States withholding taxes with respect to all payments to be made
to the Assignee under the Credit Agreement and the Revolving Loan Notes or such other documents as
are necessary to indicate that all such payments are subject to such taxes at a rate reduced by an
applicable tax treaty; and (vii) confirms that none of the funds, monies, assets or other
consideration being used to make the purchase and assumption hereunder are “plan assets” as defined
under ERISA and that its rights, benefits and interests in and under the Credit Agreement and
Related Writings will not be “plan assets” under ERISA.



     8. The Assignor and the Assignee agree to indemnify and hold the Agent harmless against any
and all losses, costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and
liabilities incurred by the Agent in connection with or arising in any manner from this assignment.



     9. After the Effective Date, the Assignee shall have the right pursuant to Section 13.08 of
the Credit Agreement to assign the rights which are assigned to the Assignee hereunder to any
qualified entity as provided in Section 13.08 of the Credit Agreement, provided that (i) any such
subsequent assignment does not violate any of the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement or
Related Writings or any law, rule, regulation, order, writ, judgment, injunction or decree and that
any consent required under the terms of the Credit Agreement or Related Writings has been obtained
and (ii) unless the prior written consent of the Assignor is obtained, the Assignee is not thereby
released from its obligations to the Assignor hereunder.



     10. Each party to this Assignment Agreement agrees to pay its own fees and expenses incurred
by it in connection with the negotiation, preparation and execution of this Assignment Agreement.



-3-









 






     11. This Assignment Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be
executed in counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original,
but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.



     12. This Assignment Agreement together with attached Schedule 1 embody the entire agreement
and understanding between the parties hereto and supersede all prior agreements and understandings
between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof.



     13. This Assignment Agreement shall be governed by the internal law, and not the law of
conflicts, of the State of Ohio.



     14. Notices shall be given under this Assignment Agreement in the manner set forth in the
Credit Agreement. For the purpose hereof, the addresses of the parties hereto (until notice of a
change is delivered) shall be the address set forth in the Credit Agreement or the attached
Schedule 1, if a different address is therein provided.



     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Assignment Agreement by their duly
authorized officers as of the date first above written.
