2.2.    Revolving Credit Commitment.  Subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, each Lender severally agrees, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, to make Loans to the Borrowers at any time and from time to time in an aggregate principal amount up to such Lender’s Commitment at any such time.  Subject to the conditions set forth in Sections 2.1(b) and 6 and the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrowers may borrow, repay without penalty or premium, and re-borrow hereunder, during the Availability Period.  Each Borrowing pursuant to this Section 2.2 shall be made only in Dollars and shall be funded ratably by the Lenders in proportion to their Pro Rata Share.  No Lender shall be obligated to fund any Loan if the interest rate applicable thereto under Section 2.6(a) would exceed the Maximum Rate in effect with respect to such Loan.
2.3.    Manner of Borrowing.
(a)    Request for Borrowing.  The Borrowers shall give the Administrative Agent notice at the Agency Services Address of the date of each requested Borrowing hereunder, which 

703041399 12410180    34






notice may be by telephone, if confirmed in writing, facsimile, electronic mail, or other written communication (a “Request for Borrowing”), in the form of Exhibit E hereto, and which notice shall be irrevocable and effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent.  Each Request for Borrowing: (a) shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (x) at least one (1) Business Day prior to the requested date of Borrowing in the case of a Reference Rate Loan and (y) at least three (3) Business Days prior to the requested date of Borrowing in the case of a LIBOR Rate Loan; and (b) must specify: (i) the amount of such Borrowing; (ii) the Interest Option; and (iii) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day.  Any Request for Borrowing received by the Administrative Agent after 11:00 a.m. shall be deemed to have been given by the Borrowers on the next succeeding Business Day.  Each Request for Borrowing submitted by the Borrowers shall be deemed to be a representation and warranty that the conditions specified in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 and, to the extent applicable, Section 6.3, have been satisfied on and as of the date of the applicable Borrowing.  No Request for Borrowing shall be valid hereunder for any purpose unless it shall have been accompanied or preceded by the information and other documents required to be delivered in accordance with this Section.  
(b)    Further Information.  Each Request for Borrowing shall be accompanied or preceded by: (A) a duly executed Borrowing Base Certificate dated the date of such Request for Borrowing; and (B) such documents as are required to satisfy any applicable conditions precedent as provided in Section 6.2.
(c)    Request for Borrowing Irrevocable.  Each Request for Borrowing completed and signed by the Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.3(a) shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers, and the Borrowers shall indemnify each Lender against any cost, loss or expense incurred by such Lender, either directly or indirectly, as a result of any failure by the Borrowers to complete such Borrowing, including any cost, loss or expense incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, either directly or indirectly by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of funds acquired by such Lender in order to fund such Borrowing except to the extent such loss or expense is due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Person.  A certificate of such Lender setting forth the amount of any such cost, loss or expense, and the basis for the determination thereof and the calculation thereof, shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall, in the absence of a manifest error, be conclusive and binding.
(d)    Notification of Lenders.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of the Administrative Agent’s receipt of any Request for Borrowing.    
(e)    Lender’s Commitment.  Each Lender shall make each requested Loan, in accordance with its Pro Rata Share thereof.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 2.3(e) or elsewhere in this Credit Agreement to the contrary, no Lender shall be obligated to provide the Administrative Agent or the Borrowers with funds in connection with a Loan in an amount that would result in the sum of the portion of the Loans then funded by it plus such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Liability exceeding its Commitment then in effect.
(f)    Defaulting Lender.  If, by 1:00 p.m. on any funding date, one or more Lenders fails to make its share of any Loan available to the Administrative Agent (the aggregate amount not so made available to the Administrative Agent being herein called in either case the 

703041399 12410180    35






“Loan Deficit”), then the Administrative Agent shall, by no later than 1:30 p.m. on the applicable funding date instruct each other Lender to pay, by no later than 2:00 p.m. on such date, in immediately available funds, to the account designated by the Administrative Agent, an amount equal to the lesser of: (i) such other Lender’s proportionate share (based upon the relative Commitments of the other Lenders) of the Loan Deficit; and (ii) its unused Commitment.  A Defaulting Lender shall forthwith, upon demand, pay to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the other Lenders all amounts paid by each such other Lender on behalf of such Defaulting Lender, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date a payment was made by each such other Lender until the date such other Lender has been paid such amounts in full, at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate.  
(g)    Conversions.  The applicable Borrowers shall have the right, with respect to: (i) any Reference Rate Loan, on any Business Day (a “LIBOR Rate Conversion Date”), to convert such Reference Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan; and (ii) any LIBOR Rate Loan, on any Business Day (a “Reference Rate Conversion Date”) to convert such LIBOR Rate Loan to a Reference Rate Loan; provided that the Borrowers shall, on such Reference Rate Conversion Date, make the payments required by Section 4.5 hereof, if any; in either case, by giving the Administrative Agent written notice at the Agency Services Address substantially in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto (a “Conversion Notice”) of such selection no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York time) at least one (1) Business Day prior to such LIBOR Rate Conversion Date or Reference Rate Conversion Date, as applicable.  Each Conversion Notice shall be effective upon notification thereof to the Administrative Agent.  Each Conversion Notice shall be irrevocable.  A request of the Borrowers for a Conversion of a Reference Rate Loan into a LIBOR Rate Loan is subject to the condition that no Event of Default or Potential Default exists at the time of such request or after giving effect to such Conversion.
(h)    Tranches.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no more than ten (10) LIBOR Rate Loans may be outstanding hereunder at any one time during the Availability Period.
(i)    Administrative Agent Notification of the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the receipt of a Request for Borrowing, a Conversion Notice or a Rollover Notice, the amount of the Borrowing and the amount and currency of such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the applicable Loans, the date the Borrowing is to be made, the Interest Option selected, the Interest Period selected, if applicable, and the applicable rate of interest. 
2.4.    Minimum Loan Amounts.  Each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $1,000,000 and each Reference Rate Loan shall be in an aggregate amount that is an integral multiple of $100,000 and not less than $500,000 for each Lender; provided that a Reference Rate Loan may be in an aggregate amount that is equal to the entire unused balance of the total Commitments or that is required to finance the reimbursement of a Letter of Credit under Section 2.8(c). 
2.5.    Funding.  Subject to the fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, each Lender shall make the proceeds of its Pro Rata Share of each Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. on the date specified in the Request for Borrowing 

703041399 12410180    36






as the borrowing date, in immediately available funds, and, upon fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall deposit such proceeds in immediately available funds in the applicable Borrower’s account maintained with the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the borrowing date or, if requested by the Borrowers in the Request for Borrowing, shall wire-transfer such funds as requested on or before such time.  The failure of any Lender to advance the proceeds of its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation to advance the proceeds of its Pro Rata Share of any Borrowing required to be advanced hereunder.  Absent contrary written notice from a Lender, the Administrative Agent may assume that each Lender has made its Pro Rata Share of the requested Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on the applicable borrowing date, and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption (but is not required to), make available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount.  If a Lender fails to make its Pro Rata Share of any requested Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on the applicable borrowing date, then the Administrative Agent may recover the applicable amount on demand: (a) from such Lender, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate for the period commencing on the date the amount was made available to the Borrowers by the Administrative Agent and ending on (but excluding) the date the Administrative Agent recovers the amount from such Lender; or (b) if such Lender fails to pay its amount upon the Administrative Agent’s demand, then from the Borrowers: (i) promptly on demand, and in any event within two (2) Business Days, to the extent such funds are available in the Collateral Accounts or any other account maintained by the Fund Parties; and (ii) otherwise, to the extent that it is necessary for the Credit Parties to issue a Capital Call to fund such required payment, within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Administrative Agent’s demand (but, in any event, the Credit Parties shall issue such Capital Call and shall make such payment promptly after the related Capital Contributions are received); together with interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate applicable to the requested Borrowing for the period commencing on the borrowing date and ending on (but excluding) the date the Administrative Agent recovers the amount from the Borrowers.  The liabilities and obligations of each Lender hereunder shall be several and not joint, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be responsible for the performance by any other Lender of its obligations hereunder.  Each Lender hereunder shall be liable to the Borrowers only for the amount of its respective Commitment.
2.6.    Interest.
(a)    Interest Rate.  Each Loan funded by the Lenders shall accrue interest at a rate per annum equal to: (i) with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans, Adjusted LIBOR for the applicable Interest Period; and (ii) with respect to Reference Rate Loans, the Reference Rate in effect from day to day. At any time, each Loan shall have only one Interest Period and one Interest Option. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the interest rate hereunder exceed the Maximum Rate.
(b)    Change in Rate; Past Due Amounts; Calculations of Interest.  Each change in the rate of interest for any Borrowing consisting of Reference Rate Loans shall become effective, without prior notice to the Credit Parties, automatically as of the opening of business of the Administrative Agent on the date of said change.  Interest on the unpaid principal balance of (i) each LIBOR Rate Loan and Reference Rate Loan bearing interest off LIBOR shall be calculated 

703041399 12410180    37






on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days and (ii) each Reference Rate Loan (other than when the Reference Rate is calculated based off LIBOR) shall be calculated on the basis of the actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be.  
(c)    Default Rate.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, then (in lieu of the interest rate provided in Section 2.6(a) above) all Obligations shall bear interest, after as well as before judgment, at the Default Rate. 
2.7.    Determination of Rate.  The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the LIBOR Rate Loans and Reference Rate Loans hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall, upon request, give notice to the Borrowers and to the Lenders of each rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.
2.8.    Letters of Credit.

Unless the Borrowers shall immediately notify the Letter of Credit Issuer that 

703041399 12410180    39






the Borrowers intend to reimburse the Letter of Credit Issuer for such drawing from other sources or funds, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have timely given a Request for Borrowing to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers hereby authorize, empower, and direct the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties and the Letter of Credit Issuer, to disburse directly, as a Borrowing hereunder, to the Letter of Credit Issuer, with notice to the Borrowers, in immediately available funds an amount equal to the stated amount of each draft drawn under each Letter of Credit plus all interest, costs and expenses, and fees due to the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to this Credit Agreement.  Subject to receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s Pro Rata Share of the amount disbursed by the Letter of Credit Issuer on the Business Day on which the Letter of Credit Issuer honors any such draft or incurs or is owed any such interest, costs, expenses or fees.  The Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrowers of any such disbursements made by the Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that the failure to give such notice will not affect the validity of the disbursement, and the Administrative Agent shall provide the Lenders with notice thereof.  Any such disbursement made by the Lenders to the Letter of Credit Issuer on account of a Letter of Credit shall be deemed a Reference Rate Loan; and such disbursements shall be made without regard to the minimum and multiple amounts specified in Section 2.4.  The Administrative Agent and the Lenders may conclusively rely on the Letter of Credit Issuer as to the amount due the Letter of Credit Issuer by reason of any draft of a Letter of Credit or due the Letter of Credit Issuer under any Application for Letter of Credit.  The obligations of a Lender to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Letter of Credit Issuer, and, as applicable, the obligations of the Borrowers with respect to Borrowings, each under this Section 2.8(d) shall be irrevocable, shall not be subject to any qualification or exception whatsoever, and shall, irrespective of the satisfaction of the conditions to the making of any Loans described in Sections 2.1(b), 6.1, 6.2 and/or 6.3, as applicable, be honored in accordance with this Section 2.8(d) under all circumstances, including, without limitation, any of the following circumstances:  (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the obligations of the Borrowers in respect of any Letter of Credit or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the terms of the Letter of Credit; (iii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrowers may have at any time against a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit or any transferee of a beneficiary named in a Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any such transferee may be acting), the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer, any Lender, or any other Person, whether in connection with this Credit Agreement, any Letter of Credit, the transactions contemplated herein or any unrelated transactions (including any underlying transactions between the account party and beneficiary named in any Letter of Credit); (iv) any draft, demand, certificate or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit having been determined to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect or any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a draw under a Letter of Credit;  (v) any payment by the Letter of Credit Issuer under such Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; (vi) any payment made by the Letter of Credit Issuer under such Letter of Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit, 

703041399 12410180    40






including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law; (vii) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (viii) the occurrence of any Event of Default or Potential Default or (ix) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Credit Party.
(e)    Borrower Inspection.  The Borrowers shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto that is delivered to them and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrowers’ instructions or other irregularity, the Borrowers will immediately notify the Letter of Credit Issuer.  The Borrowers shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the Letter of Credit Issuer and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(f)    Role of Letter of Credit Issuer.  Each Lender and the Credit Parties agree that, in paying any drawing under a Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document.  None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Letter of Credit Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for: (i) any action taken or omitted in connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document or instrument related to any Letter of Credit.  The Borrowers hereby assume all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and shall not, preclude the Borrowers’ pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement.  None of the Letter of Credit Issuer, the Administrative Agent, nor any of the respective correspondents, participants or assignees of the Letter of Credit Issuer, shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 2.8(d).  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Letter of Credit Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason.
(g)    Acceleration of Undrawn Amounts.  Should the Administrative Agent demand payment of the Obligations hereunder prior to the Maturity Date pursuant to Section 10.2, the Administrative Agent, by written notice to the Borrowers, may take one or both of the following actions: (i) declare the obligation of the Letter of Credit Issuer to issue Letters of Credit hereunder terminated, whereupon such obligations shall forthwith terminate without any other notice of any kind; or (ii) declare the outstanding Letter of Credit Liability to be forthwith due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby 

703041399 12410180    41






waived, and demand that the Borrowers pay to the Administrative Agent for deposit in a segregated interest-bearing cash collateral account, as security for the Obligations, an amount equal to the aggregate undrawn stated amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding at the time such notice is given.  Unless otherwise required by law, upon the full and final payment of the Obligations, the Administrative Agent shall return to the Borrowers any amounts remaining in said cash collateral account.
(h)    Cash Collateral.  (A) If, as of the Stated Maturity Date, any Letters of Credit may for any reason remain outstanding and partially or wholly undrawn, or (B) the occurrence of any other circumstances under this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents requiring the Borrowers to Cash Collateralize Letters of Credit, the Borrowers shall promptly Cash Collateralize in an amount equal to Minimum Collateral Amount or, in the case of sub-clause (B) above, such amount expressly required by the terms of this Credit Agreement or other Loan Document, to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be held by Administrative Agent as Cash Collateral subject to the terms of this clause (h) and any security agreement, control agreement and other documentation requested by the Administrative Agent to be executed in connection with opening a Cash Collateral Account for the purpose of holding such Cash Collateral.  All Cash Collateral to be provided by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.8(h) shall be in Dollars. Cash Collateral held in the Cash Collateral Account shall be applied by Administrative Agent to the reimbursement of Letter of Credit Issuer for any payment made by it of drafts drawn under the outstanding Letters of Credit, and the unused portion thereof after all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, if any, shall be applied to repay other Obligations.  After all such Letters of Credit shall have expired or been fully drawn upon, all Letter of Credit Liability shall have been satisfied and all other Obligations shall have been paid in full, the balance, if any, of Cash Collateral held in the Cash Collateral Account pursuant to this clause (h) shall be returned to the Borrowers. The Borrowers hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral and in the Cash Collateral Account as security in respect of the Letter of Credit Liability.    
(i)    Lenders’ Obligations. In the event any Letter of Credit Liability is Cash Collateralized in accordance with Section 2.8(h) or otherwise pursuant to this Credit Agreement (including but not limited to the Cash Collateralizing of a Letter of Credit outstanding beyond the Maturity Date), each Lender’s participation in such Letter of Credit pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall cease in all respects, the Lenders will no longer be entitled to receive their Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit fee payable in accordance with Section 2.13 (which shall be payable exclusively to the Letter of Credit Issuer), and the Lenders shall cease to be obligated to fund any drawing under such Letter of Credit in the event the Cash Collateral is for any reason unavailable or insufficient to fully fund such drawing (including, but not limited to, as a result of any preference claim or other clawback under any proceeding pursuant to any Debtor Relief Laws).
2.9.    Qualified Borrowers.  In consideration of the Lenders’ agreement to advance funds to a Qualified Borrower that has joined the Credit Facility in accordance with Section 6.3, to cause Letters of Credit to be issued for the account of a Qualified Borrower pursuant to Section 2.8, and to accept the Borrower Guaranties in support thereof, the Borrowers hereby authorize, empower, and direct the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, within the limits of the 

703041399 12410180    42






Available Commitment, to disburse directly to the Lenders, with notice to the Borrowers, in immediately available funds, an amount equal to the amount due and owing under any Qualified Borrower Note or any Qualified Borrower Guaranty, together with all interest, costs and expenses and fees due to the Lenders pursuant thereto, as a Borrowing hereunder, in the event the Administrative Agent shall have not received payment of such Obligations when due.  The Administrative Agent will notify the Borrowers of any disbursement made to the Lenders pursuant to the terms hereof; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of the disbursement, and the Administrative Agent shall provide the Lenders with notice thereof.  Any such disbursement made by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders shall be deemed to be a Reference Rate Loan pursuant to Section 2.3 in the amount so paid, and the Borrowers shall be deemed to have given to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of Section 2.3, a Request for Borrowing with respect thereto; and such disbursements shall be made without regard to the minimum and multiple amounts specified in Section 2.4.  The Administrative Agent may conclusively rely on the Lenders as to the amount of any such Obligations due to the Lenders, absent manifest error.
2.10.    Use of Proceeds, Letters of Credit and Borrower Guaranties.  The proceeds of the Loans and the Letters of Credit shall be used solely for purposes expressly permitted under the Constituent Documents of each Credit Party.  Neither the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall have any liability, obligation, or responsibility whatsoever with respect to the Borrowers’ use of the proceeds of the Loans, the Letters of Credit or execution and delivery of the Borrower Guaranties, and neither the Lenders nor the Administrative Agent shall be obligated to determine whether or not the Borrowers’ use of the proceeds of the Loans or the Letters of Credit are for purposes permitted under the Constituent Documents of any Credit Party.  Nothing, including, without limitation, any Borrowing, any Rollover, any issuance of any Letter of Credit, or acceptance of any Qualified Borrower Guaranty or other document or instrument, shall be construed as a representation or warranty, express or implied, to any party by the Lenders or the Administrative Agent as to whether any investment by the Borrowers is permitted by the terms of the Constituent Documents of any Credit Party.
2.11.    Fees.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent fees in consideration of the arrangement, structuring and administration of the Commitments, which fees shall be payable in amounts and on the dates agreed to between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in the Fee Letter.  The Borrowers will pay to the Administrative Agent such other fees as are payable in the amount and on the date agreed to between the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in the Fee Letter.
2.12.    Unused Commitment Fee.  In addition to the payments provided for in Section 3, the Borrowers shall pay or cause to be paid to the Administrative Agent, for the account of each Lender, an unused commitment fee at the rate of 30 basis points (0.30%) per annum on the Commitment of the Lenders which was unused (through the extension of Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit), in either case calculated on the basis of actual days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date.  For purposes of this Section 2.12, the fee shall be calculated on a daily basis.  The Credit Parties and the Lenders acknowledge and agree that the unused commitment fees payable hereunder are bona 

703041399 12410180    43






fide unused commitment fees and are intended as reasonable compensation to the Lenders for committing to make funds available to the Borrowers as described herein and for no other purposes. 
2.13.    Letter of Credit Fees.  The Borrowers shall pay to the Administrative Agent: (a) for the benefit of the Lenders, in consideration for the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder, a non-refundable fee equal to the Applicable Margin (plus 2% if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing) on the daily face amount of each Letter of Credit, less the amount of any draws on such Letter of Credit, payable in monthly installments in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month for the preceding calendar month, commencing on the issuance date and continuing for so long as such Letter of Credit remains outstanding (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any Letter of Credit that is outstanding but has been Cash Collateralized); and (b) for the benefit of the Letter of Credit Issuer, all reasonable and customary out of pocket expenses actually incurred by the Letter of Credit Issuer related to the issuance, amendment or transfer of Letters of Credit upon demand by the Letter of Credit Issuer. 
2.14.     Extension of Maturity Date.  The Borrowers shall have an option to extend the Stated Maturity Date then in effect for 364 days, subject to satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:
(a)    the Borrowers shall have paid an extension fee to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the extending Lenders consenting to such extension, equal to 0.125% of the Maximum Commitment elected to be extended by the Borrowers as set out in the applicable Extension Request, payable to each such Lender ratably based on its share of the Commitments subject to extension;
(b)    no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date on which notice is given in accordance with the following clause (c) or on the initial Stated Maturity Date; and
(c)    the Borrowers shall have delivered an Extension Request with respect to the Stated Maturity Date to the Administrative Agent not less than thirty (30) days prior to the Stated Maturity Date then in effect (which shall be promptly forwarded by the Administrative Agent to each Lender).
2.15.    Increase in the Maximum Commitment.
(a)    Request for Increase.  Provided there exists no Event of Default or Potential Default and no Event of Default or Potential Default would result from such increase in the Lenders’ Commitments, and subject to compliance with the terms of this Section 2.15, the Borrowers may (no more than three (3) times) increase the Maximum Commitment to an amount requested by the Borrowers not exceeding $300,000,000 by increasing the Commitment of the Lenders.  Such increase may be done in one or more requested increases, in $25,000,000 increments (each such increase, shall be referred to herein as a “Facility Increase”).

703041399 12410180    44






(b)    Effective Date.  The Administrative Agent shall determine the effective date of any Facility Increase (the “Increase Effective Date”) and shall notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of the Increase Effective Date.
(c)    Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase.  The following are conditions precedent to such increase:
(i)    The Borrowers shall, not later than the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the Increase Effective Date, deliver to Administrative Agent a Facility Increase Request and resolutions adopted by the Borrowers approving or consenting to such increase, certified by a Responsible Officer of each  Borrower that such resolutions are true and correct copies thereof and are in full force and effect; 
(ii)    On or prior to the proposed date of such Facility Increase, the Borrowers shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the Facility Increase Fee. 
For the avoidance of doubt, any Facility Increase will be on the same terms as contained herein with respect to the Credit Facility.  
Section 3.    PAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS
3.1.    Revolving Credit Notes.  The Administrative Agent may request that Loans made under this Credit Agreement be evidenced by a master promissory note.  In such event, each Borrower shall execute and deliver a Note in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith), payable to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders. Each Borrower agrees, from time to time, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, to reissue a new Note, in accordance with the terms and in the form heretofore provided, to the Administrative Agent, in renewal of and substitution for the Note previously issued by such Borrower to the Administrative Agent, and such previously issued Note shall be returned to such Borrower marked “replaced”.
3.2.    Payment of Obligations.  The Principal Obligations outstanding on the Maturity Date, together with all accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any other outstanding Obligations, shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date.
3.3.    Payment of Interest.
(a)    Interest.  Interest on each Borrowing and any portion thereof shall commence to accrue in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents as of the date of the disbursal or wire transfer of such Borrowing by the Administrative Agent, consistent with the provisions of Section 2.6, notwithstanding whether the Borrowers received the benefit of such Borrowing as of such date and even if such Borrowing is held in escrow pursuant to the terms of any escrow arrangement or agreement.  When a Borrowing is disbursed by wire transfer pursuant to instructions received from the Borrowers in accordance with the related Request for Borrowing, then such Borrowing shall be considered made at the time of the transmission of the wire, rather than the time of receipt thereof by the receiving bank.  With regard to the repayment of the Loans, 

703041399 12410180    45






interest shall continue to accrue on any amount repaid until such time as the repayment has been received in federal or other immediately available funds by the Administrative Agent in the Administrative Agent’s Account described in Section 3.4, or any other account of the Administrative Agent which the Administrative Agent designates in writing to the Borrowers.
(b)    Interest Payment Dates.  Accrued and unpaid interest on the Obligations shall be due and payable in arrears (i) on each Interest Payment Date and on the Maturity Date, (ii) on each other date of any reduction of the Principal Obligation hereunder, with respect to the portion of the Principal Obligation so repaid, and (iii) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, at any time upon demand by Administrative Agent.  Interest hereunder shall be due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
3.4.    Payments on the Obligations.  
(a)    Credit Party Payments.  All payments of principal of, and interest on, the Obligations under this Credit Agreement by any Credit Party to or for the account of the Lenders, or any of them, shall be made (i) within 180 days from the date each Loan was disbursed by the Administrative Agent, absent receipt by the Administrative Agent of approval of an additional tenor for such Loan by the Advisory Committee (as defined in the Constituent Documents of the Initial Borrower), and (ii) without condition or deduction or counterclaim, set-off, defense or recoupment by the Borrowers for receipt by the Administrative Agent before 1:00 p.m. in federal or other immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent at account number 4426457864 at Bank of America, N.A., ABA No. 026009593, reference “Acadia IV, Attention: Jessica Richmond”, or any other account of the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent designates in writing to the Borrowers.  Funds received after 1:00 p.m. shall be treated for all purposes as having been received by the Administrative Agent on the first Business Day next following receipt of such funds.  All payments shall be made in Dollars.
(b)    Lender Payments.  Each Lender shall be entitled to receive its Pro Rata Share of each payment received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of the Lenders on the Obligations.  Each payment received by the Administrative Agent hereunder for the account of a Lender shall be promptly distributed by the Administrative Agent to such Lender.  The Administrative Agent and each Lender hereby agree that payments to the Administrative Agent by the Borrowers of principal of, and interest on, the Obligations by the Borrowers to or for the account of the Lenders in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents shall constitute satisfaction of the Borrowers’ obligations with respect to any such payments, and the Administrative Agent shall indemnify, and each Lender shall hold harmless, the Borrowers from any claims asserted by any Lender in connection with the Administrative Agent’s duty to distribute and apportion such payments to the Lenders in accordance with this Section 3.4.  
(c)    Application of Payments.  So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all payments made on the Obligations shall be applied as directed by the Borrowers.  At all times when an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all payments made on the Obligations shall be credited, to the extent of the amount thereof, in the following manner:  (a) first, against all costs, expenses and other fees (including attorneys’ fees) arising under the terms hereof; 

703041399 12410180    46






(b) second, against the amount of interest accrued and unpaid on the Obligations as of the date of such payment; (c) third, against all principal due and owing on the Obligations as of the date of such payment; and (d) fourth, to all other amounts constituting any portion of the Obligations.
3.5.    Voluntary Prepayments.  (1) The Borrowers may, upon notice to Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to time voluntarily prepay Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty on any Business Day; provided that: (a)  such notice must be received by Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m.: (i) three (3) Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans denominated in Dollars and (ii) one (1) Business Day prior to any date of prepayment of Reference Rate Loans; and (b) any prepayment of Loans shall be in a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding.  Each such notice shall specify the date (which shall be a Business Day) and amount of such prepayment.  The Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of the amount of such Lender’s Pro Rate Share of such prepayment.  If such notice is given by the Borrowers, the Borrowers shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.  Any prepayment of a Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest thereon, together with any additional amounts required pursuant to Section 4.  Each such prepayment shall be applied to the Obligations held by each Lender in accordance with its respective Pro Rata Share.  
(a)    Mandatory Prepayment.
(i)    Excess Loans Outstanding.  If, on any day, the Principal Obligations exceed the Available Commitment then the Borrowers shall pay without further demand such excess to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, in immediately available funds (except to the extent any such excess is addressed by Section 3.5(b)(ii)): (A) promptly, and in any event within one (1) Business Day, to the extent such funds are available in the Collateral Accounts or any other account maintained by the Fund Parties, and (B) within fifteen (15) Business Days of demand, to the extent that it is necessary for the Credit Parties to issue a Capital Call to fund such required payment (and the Credit Parties shall issue such Capital Calls (and shall pay such excess immediately after the Capital Contributions relating to such Capital Call are received).  Each Credit Party hereby agrees that the Administrative Agent may withdraw from any Collateral Account any Capital Contributions deposited therein and apply the same to the Principal Obligations until such time as the payment obligations of this Section 3.5(b) have been satisfied in full.
(ii)    Excess Letters of Credit Outstanding.  If any excess calculated pursuant to Section 3.5(b) is attributable to undrawn Letters of Credit, the Borrowers shall Cash Collateralize such excess with the Administrative Agent, when required pursuant to the terms of Section 3.5(b), as security for such portion of the Obligations.  Unless otherwise required by law, upon: (i) a change in circumstances such that the Principal Obligations no longer exceed the Available Commitment; or (ii) the full and final payment of the Obligations, so long as no Event of Default or Potential 

703041399 12410180    47






Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall return to the Borrowers any amounts remaining in said cash collateral account.
3.6.    Reduction or Early Termination of Commitments.  So long as no Request for Borrowing or Request for Letter of Credit is outstanding, the Borrowers may terminate the Commitments, or reduce the Maximum Commitment, by giving prior irrevocable written notice to the Administrative Agent of such termination or reduction five (5) Business Days prior to the effective date of such termination or reduction (which date shall be specified by the Borrowers in such notice): (a) (i) in the case of complete termination of the Commitments, upon prepayment of all of the outstanding Obligations, including, without limitation, all interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of Section 3.3; or (ii) in the case of a reduction of the Maximum Commitment, upon prepayment of the amount by which the Principal Obligations exceed the reduced Available Commitment resulting from such reduction, including, without limitation, payment of all interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of Section 3.3, provided that, the Maximum Commitment may not be terminated or reduced such that, the Available Commitment would be less than the aggregate stated amount of outstanding Letters of Credit; and (b) in the case of the complete termination of the Commitments, if any Letter of Credit Liability exists, upon payment to the Administrative Agent of the Cash Collateral (from the proceeds of Capital Calls only) for deposit in the Cash Collateral Account in accordance with Section 2.8(h), without presentment, demand, protest or any other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived.  Notwithstanding the foregoing: (x) any reduction of the Maximum Commitment shall be in an amount equal to $5,000,000 or multiples thereof; and (y) in no event shall a reduction by the Borrowers reduce the Maximum Commitment to $30,000,000 or less (except for a termination of all the Commitments).  Promptly after receipt of any notice of reduction or termination, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the same.  Any reduction of the Maximum Commitment shall reduce the Commitments of the Lenders according to their Pro Rata Share.
3.7.    Lending Office.  Each Lender may: (a) designate its principal office or a branch, subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender as its Lending Office (and the office to whose accounts payments are to be credited) for any Loan and (b) change its Lending Office from time to time by notice to the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers.  In such event, the Administrative Agent shall continue to hold the Note, if any, evidencing its Loans for the benefit and account of such branch, subsidiary or Affiliate.  Each Lender shall be entitled to fund all or any portion of its Commitment in any manner it deems appropriate, consistent with the provisions of Section 2.5.
Section 4.    CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES
4.1.    Taxes.
(a)    Letter of Credit Issuer.  For purposes of this Section 4.1, the term “Lender” includes the Letter of Credit Issuer.
(b)    Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of any Credit Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by applicable law.  If any applicable law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or 

703041399 12410180    48






withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then (i) the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding, (ii) the applicable Withholding Agent shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law and, (iii) if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the applicable Credit Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(c)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Credit Parties.  Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) above, the Credit Parties shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d)    Tax Indemnification.  (i) The Borrowers shall, and each do hereby, jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section 4.1) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers shall, and do hereby, jointly and severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within fifteen (15) Business Days after demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender for any reason fails to pay indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required pursuant to Section 4.1(d)(ii) below.  The applicable Lender shall indemnify the applicable Borrower, and shall make payment in respect thereof, within fifteen (15) Business Days after demand therefor, for any amount which such Borrower is required to pay to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence. (ii) Each Lender shall, and does hereby, severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within fifteen (15) Business Days after demand therefor, for (x) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Borrower has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of any Borrower to do so), (y) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.11 relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (z) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this clause (ii).

703041399 12410180    49






(e)    Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by a Credit Party to a Governmental Authority, such Credit Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.
(f)    Status of Lenders.  
(i)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested in writing by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested in writing by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested in writing by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested in writing by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in Sections 4.1(f)(ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D) below) shall not be required if in the Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a Borrower is a U.S. Borrower,
		
	(A)
	any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to such Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable written request of such Borrower or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of IRS Form W-9 certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax; 


		
	(B)
	any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested in writing by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable written request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:



703041399 12410180    50






		
	(i)
	in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;


		
	(ii)
	executed originals of IRS Form W-8ECI;


		
	(iii)
	in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that  such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of any of the Borrowers within the meaning of  Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code and (y) executed originals of IRS Form W-8BEN; or


		
	(iv)
	to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, executed originals of IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN, a certification as provided in clause (iii) immediately above, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if the Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide such certification on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;


		
	(C)
	any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested in writing by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Credit Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable written request of the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent), executed originals of any other form prescribed by applicable law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrowers or the 



703041399 12410180    51






Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
		
	(D)
	if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested in writing by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested in writing by the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Credit Agreement.


Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered becomes inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(g)    Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 4.1 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section 4.1), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the written request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (g) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (g), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (g) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the indemnification payments or additional amounts giving rise to such refund had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

703041399 12410180    52






(h)    Indemnification of the Administrative Agent.  Each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that any Credit Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Credit Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 12.11(e) relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to the Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this paragraph (h). The agreements in paragraph (h) shall survive the resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent.
(i)    Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section 4.1 shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.
4.2.    Illegality.  If any Lender reasonably determines that any Applicable Law has made it unlawful, or that any Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its Applicable Lending Office to make, maintain or fund Loans or other Obligations, or materially restricts the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of, Dollars or to determine or charge interest rates based upon LIBOR, then, on notice thereof by such Lender to the Borrowers through the Administrative Agent, any obligation of such Lender to make or continue Loans or the Obligations or to convert Loans accruing interest calculated by reference to LIBOR to be Loans calculated by reference to the Reference Rate (unless the Reference Rate is also calculated off LIBOR in accordance with the definition thereof), shall be suspended until such Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrowers that the circumstances giving rise to such determination no longer exist.  Upon the prepayment of any such Loans, the Borrowers shall also pay accrued interest on the amount so prepaid.  Each Lender agrees to designate a different Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to such Lender.
4.3.    Inability to Determine Rates.  If the Administrative Agent determines, for any proposed Interest Period, that: (a) deposits in Dollars are not being offered to banks in the applicable offshore market for the applicable amount and Interest Period of any LIBOR Rate Loan; (b) adequate and reasonable means do not exist for determining LIBOR; or (c) LIBOR does not adequately or fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Loan, then:  (a) the Administrative Agent shall forthwith notify the Lenders and the Borrowers; and (b) while such circumstances exist, none of the Lenders shall allocate any Loans made during such period, or reallocate any Loans allocated to any then-existing Interest Period ending during such period, to 

703041399 12410180    53






an Interest Period with respect to which interest is calculated by reference to LIBOR.  If, with respect to any outstanding Interest Period, a Lender notifies the Administrative Agent that it is unable to obtain matching deposits in the London interbank market to fund its purchase or maintenance of such Loans or that LIBOR applicable to such Loans will not adequately reflect the cost to the Person of funding or maintaining such Loans for such Interest Period, then:  (i) the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrowers and the Lenders; and (ii) upon such notice and thereafter while such circumstances exist, the applicable Lender shall not make any LIBOR Rate Loans during such period, or reallocate any Loans allocated to any Interest Period ending during such period, to an Interest Period with respect to which interest is calculated by reference to LIBOR; provided that, (x) if the forgoing notice relates to Loans that are outstanding as LIBOR Rate Loans, such Loans shall be Converted to Reference Rate Loans  only on the last day of the then-current Interest Period, and (y) upon receipt of such notice, the Borrowers may revoke any outstanding Requests for Borrowing.
4.4.    Increased Cost and Capital Adequacy.
(b)    Increased Costs Generally.  If any Change in Law shall:
(i)    impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or advances, loans or other credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in the Adjusted LIBOR Rate) or the Letter of Credit Issuer;
(ii)    subject any Recipient to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes and (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto, or
(iii)    impose on any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Credit Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender or such other Recipient of making, converting to, continuing or maintaining any Loan (or of maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or such other Recipient of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or such other Recipient hereunder (whether of principal, interest or any other amount) then, upon written request of such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or other Recipient, the Borrowers shall promptly pay to any such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or other Recipient, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate 

703041399 12410180    54






such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered.
(c)    Capital Requirements.  If any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer determines that any Change in Law affecting such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Credit Agreement, the Commitment of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the Letter of Credit Issuer, to a level below that which such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time upon written request of such Lender or such Letter of Credit Issuer, the Borrowers shall promptly pay to such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.  
(d)    Certificates for Reimbursement.  A certificate of a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, as specified in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrowers, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate (A) promptly upon receipt, to the extent that funds are available in the Collateral Accounts or any other account maintained by any Fund Party; and (B) otherwise, to the extent that it is necessary for the Credit Parties to issue a Capital Call to fund such required payment, within fifteen (15) Business Days after demand (but in any event, each Credit Party shall issue such Capital Calls and shall make such payment after the related Capital Contributions are received).
(e)    Delay in Requests.  Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Borrowers shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer pursuant to this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than nine (9) months prior to the date that such Lender or the Letter of Credit Issuer, as the case may be, notifies the Borrowers of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions, and of such Lender’s or the Letter of Credit Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that if the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the nine-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
4.5.    Funding Losses.  Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) from time to time, the Borrowers shall promptly pay the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, such amount or amounts as shall compensate such Lender for, and hold such Lender 

703041399 12410180    55






harmless from, any loss, cost or expense incurred by such Lender in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other funds from third parties as a result of (a) any failure or refusal of the Borrowers (for any reasons whatsoever other than a default by the Administrative Agent or any Lender) to take a Loan after the Borrowers shall have requested such Loan under the Credit Agreement, (b) any prepayment or other payment of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Loan, (c) any other prepayment of a Loan that is otherwise not made in compliance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement, or (d) the failure of the Borrowers to make a prepayment of a Loan after giving notice under the Credit Agreement, that such prepayment will be made.
4.6.    Requests for Compensation.  If requested by the Borrowers in connection with any demand for payment pursuant to this Section 4, a Lender shall provide to the Borrowers, with a copy to the Administrative Agent, a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for such demand, the amount required to be paid by the Borrowers to such Lender and the computations made by such Lender to determine such amount, such certificate to be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.  Any such amount payable by the Borrowers shall not be duplicative of any amounts (a) previously paid under this Section 4, or (b) included in the calculation of LIBOR.
4.7.    Survival.  Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrowers hereunder, all of the Borrowers’ obligations under this Section 4 shall survive and remain in full force and effect regardless of the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, the repayment of the Loans, the expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and the Commitments or the termination of this Credit Agreement or any provision hereof.  Each Lender shall notify the Borrowers of any event occurring after the termination of this Credit Agreement entitling such Lender to compensation under this Section 4 as promptly as practicable.
Section 5.    SECURITY
5.1.    Liens and Security Interest.
(a)    Capital Commitments and Capital Calls.  To secure performance by the Borrowers of the payment and the performance of the Obligations, the Credit Parties, each to the extent of their respective interests therein, shall grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each of the Secured Parties, a first priority, exclusive, perfected security interest and Lien in and on the Collateral pursuant to the Security Agreements, the related financing statements and the other related documents.
(b)    Reliance.  The Fund Parties agree that the Administrative Agent and each Lender has entered into this Credit Agreement, extended credit hereunder and at the time of each Loan or each issuance of a Letter of Credit, will make such Loan or issue such Letter of Credit in reasonable reliance on the obligations of the Investors to fund their respective Capital Commitments and accordingly, such Capital Commitments may be enforced by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents, directly against the Investors without further action by the Credit Parties and notwithstanding any compromise of any such Capital Commitment by the Credit Parties after the Closing Date.

703041399 12410180    56






The security agreements, financing statements, assignments, collateral assignments and any other documents and instruments from time to time executed and delivered pursuant to this Credit Agreement to grant, perfect and continue a security interest in the Collateral, including without limitation the Security Agreements, the Collateral Account Assignments and the Control Agreements, and any documents or instruments amending or supplementing the same, shall be collectively referred to herein as the “Collateral Documents.”
5.2.    The Collateral Accounts; Capital Calls.
(a)    The Collateral Accounts.  In order to secure further the payment and the performance of the Obligations and to effect and facilitate the right of the Secured Parties, each Fund Party shall require that each of its Investors wire transfer to such Fund Party’s Collateral Account all monies or sums paid or to be paid by the Investors pursuant to Capital Calls; In addition, each of the Fund Parties shall deposit into their respective Collateral Account any payments and monies that such Credit Party receives directly from Investors as Capital Contributions.  
(b)    Use of the Collateral Accounts.  The Credit Parties may withdraw funds from the Collateral Accounts only in compliance with Section 9.18.  Upon the occurrence of a Cash Control Event, the Administrative Agent is authorized to take exclusive control of the Collateral Accounts.  
(c)    No Duty.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, it is expressly understood and agreed that neither the Administrative Agent, Letter of Credit Issuer, nor any other Secured Party undertakes any duties, responsibilities, or liabilities with respect to the Capital Calls issued by the Credit Parties.  None of them shall be required to refer to the Constituent Documents of any Credit Party, or a Subscription Agreement or any Side Letter, or take any other action with respect to any other matter that might arise in connection with the Constituent Documents of any Credit Party, a Subscription Agreement or any Capital Call.  None of them shall have any duty to determine or inquire into any happening or occurrence or any performance or failure of performance of any Credit Party or any of the Investors.  None of them shall have any duty to inquire into the use, purpose, or reasons for the making of any Capital Call by any Credit Party or the Investment or use of the proceeds thereof.
(d)    Capital Calls and Disbursements from Collateral Accounts.  The Credit Parties will issue Capital Calls at such times as are necessary in order to ensure the timely payment of the Obligations hereunder.  Each Credit Party hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Secured Parties, acting through the Administrative Agent, to charge from time to time the Collateral Accounts, and any other accounts of any Fund Party maintained at any Secured Party (including the Cash Collateral Account), for amounts not paid when due (after the passage of any applicable grace period) to the Secured Parties or any of them hereunder and under the Loan Documents; provided that promptly after any disbursement of funds from any such account to the Secured Parties, as contemplated in this Section 5.2(d), the Administrative Agent shall deliver a written notice of such disbursement to the Borrowers.  
(e)    No Representations.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Secured Party shall be deemed to make at any time any representation or warranty as to the validity of any 

703041399 12410180    57






Capital Call nor shall the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties be accountable for any Borrower’s use of the proceeds of any Capital Contribution.
5.3.    Agreement to Deliver Additional Collateral Documents.  The Credit Parties shall deliver such security agreements, financing statements, assignments, and other collateral documents (all of which shall be deemed part of the Collateral Documents), in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as the Administrative Agent acting on behalf of the Secured Parties may request from time to time for the purpose of granting to, or maintaining or perfecting in favor of the Secured Parties, first priority security interests in the Collateral, together with other assurances of the enforceability and first priority of the Secured Parties’ Liens and assurances of due recording and documentation of the Collateral Documents or copies thereof, as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require to avoid material impairment of the first priority Liens and security interests granted or purported to be granted in accordance with this Section 5.
5.4.    Subordination.  During the continuance of a Cash Control Event, no Credit Party shall make any payments or advances of any kind, directly or indirectly, on any debts and liabilities to any other Credit Party or Investor whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether direct, indirect, several, joint and several, or otherwise, and howsoever evidenced or created (collectively, the “Other Claims”).  All Other Claims, together with all Liens on assets securing the payment of all or any portion of the Other Claims shall at all times be subordinated to and inferior in right and in payment to the Obligations and all Liens on assets securing all or any portion of the Obligations, and each Credit Party agrees to take such actions as are necessary to provide for such subordination between it and any other Credit Party, inter se, including but not limited to including provisions for such subordination in the documents evidencing the Other Claims.  Each Credit Party acknowledges and agrees that at any time a Cash Control Event has occurred and is continuing, the payment of any and all management or other fees due and owing to it from any Credit Party shall be subordinated to and inferior in right and payment to the Obligations in all respects.

In order for a new Investor to be deemed to be an Included Investor or a Designated Investor, such new Investor must satisfy the criteria therefor as set out in this Credit Agreement.  If the transfer of an Investor interest to a new Investor would result in a mandatory prepayment (due to the transferee not being designated as an Included Investor or a Designated Investor or otherwise), such mandatory prepayment shall be calculated and paid to the Lenders prior to the effectiveness of the transfer and such prepayment shall be subject to Section 4.5.

With respect to any Proposed Amendment, such Credit Party shall notify the Administrative Agent of such proposal.  The Administrative Agent shall within ten (10) Business Days of the date on which it has received such notification in accordance with Section 12.6 determine, in its sole discretion without the requirement of obtaining the input of the Lenders and on its good faith belief, whether or not such Proposed Amendment would constitute a Material Amendment and shall promptly notify such Credit Party of its determination.  In the event that the Administrative Agent determines that such Proposed Amendment is a Material Amendment, the approval of the Required Lenders shall be required (unless the approval of all Lenders is otherwise required consistent with the terms of this Credit Agreement), and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Lenders of such request for such approval, distributing, as appropriate, the Proposed Amendment and any other relevant information provided by such Credit Party.

In the event that the Administrative Agent determines that the Proposed 

703041399 12410180    77






Amendment is not a Material Amendment, such Credit Party may make such amendment without the consent of any Lender.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Credit Party may, without the consent of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, amend its Constituent Documents: (x) to admit new Investors to the extent permitted by, and in accordance with, this Credit Agreement; and (y) to reflect transfers of interests in the Borrowers or the Guarantor permitted by, and in accordance with, this Credit Agreement; provided that, in each case, such Credit Party shall promptly provide prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of any such amendment.  Further, in the event any Constituent Document or any provision thereof of any Credit Party is altered, amended, modified or terminated in any respect whatsoever, such Credit Party shall provide prior written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent and, within one (1) Business Day of the effectiveness of such alteration, amendment, modification or termination, shall provide the Administrative Agent with copies of each executed, filed or otherwise effective document relating thereto.

(a)    Actions with Respect to the Collateral.  The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, is hereby authorized, in the name of the Secured Parties or the name of any Credit Party, at any time or from time to time during the existence of an Event of Default, 

703041399 12410180    83






to: (i) initiate one or more Capital Calls in order to pay the Loans or the Letter of Credit Liability then due and owing, or both, (ii) notify the Investors to make all payments due or to become due with respect to their Capital Commitments directly to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties or to an account other than the Collateral Accounts, (iii) take or bring in any Credit Party’s name, or that of the Secured Parties, all steps, actions, suits, or proceedings deemed by the Administrative Agent necessary or desirable to effect possession or collection of payments of the Capital Commitments, (iv) complete any contract or agreement of any Credit Party in any way related to payment of any of the Capital Commitments, (v) make allowances or adjustments related to the Capital Commitments, (vi) compromise any claims related to the Capital Commitments, (vii) issue credit in its own name or the name of any Credit Party; or (viii) exercise any other right, privilege, power, or remedy provided to any Credit Party under its respective Constituent Documents and the Subscription Agreement with respect to the Capital Commitments.

The Administrative Agent shall give the Borrowers notice of actions taken pursuant to this Section 10.2(b) concurrently with, or promptly after, the taking of such action, but its failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such action, nor shall such failure give rise to defenses to the Borrowers’ or the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.  Notwithstanding the above, after an Event of Default, the Credit Parties shall be authorized to issue Capital Calls only with the consent of the Administrative Agent.
(b)    Additional Action by the Administrative Agent.  After the occurrence of an Event of Default, issuance by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties of a receipt to any Person obligated to pay any Capital Contribution shall be a full and complete release, discharge, and acquittance to such Person to the extent of any amount so paid to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties so long as such amounts shall not be invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any insolvency law, state or federal law, common law or equitable doctrine.  The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, is hereby authorized and empowered, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, on behalf of any Credit Party, to endorse the name of any Credit Party upon any check, draft, instrument, receipt, instruction, or other document or items, including, but not limited to, all items evidencing payment upon a Capital Contribution of any Person to any Credit Party coming into the Administrative Agent’s possession, and to receive and apply the proceeds therefrom in accordance with the terms hereof.  After the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, is hereby granted an irrevocable power of attorney, which is coupled with an interest, to execute all checks, drafts, receipts, instruments, instructions, or other documents, agreements, or items on behalf of any Credit Party, either before or after demand of payment of the Obligations, as shall be deemed by the Administrative Agent to be necessary or advisable, in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent, to protect the first priority security interests and Liens in the Collateral or the repayment of the Obligations, and neither the Administrative Agent nor the Secured Parties, in the absence of 

703041399 12410180    84






gross negligence and willful misconduct, shall incur any liability in connection with or arising from its exercise of such power of attorney.
The application by the Secured Parties of such funds shall, unless the Administrative Agent shall agree otherwise in writing, be the same as set forth in Section 3.4.  The Credit Parties acknowledge that all funds so transferred into the Collateral Accounts shall be the property of the Borrowers or the Guarantor, as applicable, subject to the first priority, exclusive security interest of the Administrative Agent therein.
10.3.    Lender Offset.  If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, to set off and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of any Borrower or any other Credit Party against any and all of the obligations of any Borrower or such Credit Party now or hereafter existing under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates, irrespective of whether or not such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or any such Affiliate shall have made any demand under this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document and although such obligations of any Borrower or such Credit Party may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or office of such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Affiliate different from the branch, office or Affiliate holding such deposit or obligated on such indebtedness; provided that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.4(c) and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.  The rights of each Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such Lender, the Letter of Credit Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have.  Each Lender and the Letter of Credit Issuer agrees to notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and application; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such setoff and application.
10.4.    Performance by the Administrative Agent.  Should any Credit Party fail to perform any covenant, duty, or agreement contained herein or in any of the Loan Documents, and such failure continues beyond any applicable cure period, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty, or agreement on behalf of such Person.  In such event, the Credit Parties shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, promptly pay any amount expended by the Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the Administrative Agent at its designated Agency Services Address, together with interest thereon at the Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is expressly understood that neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders 

703041399 12410180    85






assume any liability or responsibility for the performance of any duties of the Credit Parties, or any related Person hereunder or under any of the Loan Documents or other control over the management and affairs of any Credit Party, or any related Person, nor by any such action shall the Administrative Agent or the Lenders be deemed to create a partnership arrangement with any Credit Party, or any related Person.
10.5.    Good Faith Duty to Cooperate.  In the event that the Administrative Agent or Required Lenders elect to commence the exercise of remedies pursuant to Section 10.2 or 10.3 as a result of the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Credit Parties agree to cooperate in good faith with the Administrative Agent to enable the Administrative Agent to issue Capital Calls and enforce the payment thereof by the Investors, including but not limited to providing contact information for each Investor within two (2) Business Days of request.
Section 11.    AGENCY PROVISIONS
11.1.    Appointment and Authorization of Agents.
(c)    Authority. Each Lender (including any Person that is an assignee, participant, secured party or other transferee with respect to the interest of such Lender in any Principal Obligation or otherwise under this Credit Agreement) (collectively with such Lender, a “Lender Party”) hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and authorizes each Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated to such Agent by the terms hereof and of the other Loan Documents, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary elsewhere herein and in the other Loan Documents, no Agent shall have any duties or responsibilities, except those expressly set forth herein and therein, nor shall any Agent have or been deemed to have any fiduciary relationship with any Lender Party, and no implied covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or otherwise exist against any Agent.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, the use of the term “agent” herein and in the other Loan Documents 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. The provisions of this Section 11 are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and none of the Credit Parties, any Investor, or any Affiliate of the foregoing (each, a “Borrower Party”) shall have any rights as a third-party beneficiary of the provisions hereof (except for the provisions that explicitly relate to the Credit Parties in Section 11.10).  
(d)    Release of Collateral.  The Secured Parties irrevocably authorize the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s option and in its sole discretion, to release any security interest in or Lien on any Collateral granted to or held by the Administrative Agent: (i) upon termination of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, termination of the Commitments and all Letters of Credit and payment in full of all of the Obligations, including all fees and indemnified costs and expenses that are then due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents; and (ii) if approved by the Lenders pursuant to the terms of Section 12.1.  Upon 

703041399 12410180    86






the request of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section 11.1(b).
11.2.    Delegation of Duties.  Each Agent may execute any of its duties hereunder or under the other Loan Documents by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of legal counsel, accountants, and other professionals selected by such Agent concerning all matters pertaining to such duties.  The Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care, nor shall it be liable for any action taken or suffered in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such Persons  The exculpatory provisions of this Section 11  shall apply to any such sub-agent of such Agent.
11.3.    Exculpatory Provisions.  No Agent nor any of its affiliates, nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents or attorneys-in-fact (each such person, an “Agent-Related Person”), shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it under or in connection herewith or in connection with any of the other Loan Documents (except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct) or be responsible in any manner to any Lender Party for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties made by any of the Borrower Parties contained herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate, report, document, financial statement or other written or oral statement referred to or provided for in, or received by such Agent under or in connection herewith or in connection with the other Loan Documents, or enforceability or sufficiency therefor of any of the other Loan Documents, or for any failure of any Borrower Party to perform its obligations hereunder or thereunder.  No Agent-Related Person shall be responsible to any Lender for the effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability or sufficiency of this Credit Agreement, or any of the other Loan Documents or for any representations, warranties, recitals or statements made herein or therein or made by any Borrower Party in any written or oral statement or in any financial or other statements, instruments, reports, certificates or any other documents in connection herewith or therewith furnished or made by the Agent-Related Person to the Lenders or by or on behalf of the Borrower Parties to the Agent-Related Person or any Lender or be required to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, provisions, covenants or agreements contained herein or therein or as to the use of the proceeds of the Loans or the use of the Letters of Credit or of the existence or possible existence of any Potential Default or Event of Default or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Borrower Parties.  The Agents are not trustees for the Lenders and owe no fiduciary duty to the Lenders.  Each Lender Party recognizes and agrees that Administrative Agent shall not be required to determine independently whether the conditions described in Sections 6.2(a) or 6.2(b) have been satisfied and, when Administrative Agent disburses funds to Borrowers or the Letter of Credit Issuer causes Letters of Credit to be issued or accepts any Qualified Borrower Guaranties, it may rely fully upon statements contained in the relevant requests by a Borrower Party.
11.4.    Reliance on Communications.  The Agents shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, email, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, 

703041399 12410180    87






without  limitation, counsel to any of the Borrower Parties, independent accountants and other experts selected by the Agents with reasonable care).  Each Agent may deem and treat each Lender as the owner of its interests hereunder for all purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 12.11(c).  Each Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under this Credit Agreement or under any of the other Loan Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Lenders as it deems appropriate or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action.  Each Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with a request of the Required Lenders (or to the extent specifically required, all of the Lenders) and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon all the Lenders (including their successors and assigns).
11.5.    Notice of Default.  No Agent shall be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of Default hereunder unless such Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Borrower Party referring to the Loan Document, describing such Potential Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”  The Administrative Agent will notify the Lenders of its receipt of any such notice, and the Administrative Agent shall take such action with respect to such Potential Default or Event of Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Lenders and as is permitted by the Loan Documents.
11.6.    Non-Reliance on Agents and Other Lenders.  Each Lender expressly acknowledges that no Agent-Related Person has made any representations or warranties to it and that no act by any Agent-Related Person hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of any Borrower Party, shall be deemed to constitute any representation or warranty by the Agent-Related Person to any Lender.  Each Lender represents to each Agent that it has, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own appraisal of and investigation into the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties and made its own decision to make its Loans hereunder and enter into this Credit Agreement.  Each Lender also represents that it will, independently and without reliance upon any Agent-Related Person or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis, appraisals and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and to make such investigation as it deems necessary to inform itself as to the business, assets, operations, property, financial and other conditions, prospects and creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties.  Except for notices, reports and other documents expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent hereunder, no Agent shall have any duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, assets, property, financial or other conditions, prospects or creditworthiness of the Borrower Parties which may come into the possession of any Agent-Related Person.
11.7.    Indemnification.  Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Lenders shall indemnify, upon demand, each Agent-Related Person (to the extent 

703041399 12410180    88






not reimbursed by a Borrower Party and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower Parties to do so), ratably in accordance with the applicable Lender’s respective Lender’s Pro Rata Share, and hold harmless each Agent-Related Person from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind whatsoever which may at any time (including without limitation at any time following payment in full of the Obligations) be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it in its capacity as such in any way relating to or arising out of this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by it under or in connection with any of the foregoing; provided that no Lender shall be liable for the payment of any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, or related to another Lender; provided, further, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Required Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section 11.7.  Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Letter of Credit Issuer upon demand for its ratable share of any costs or out-of-pocket expenses (including attorney costs) incurred by such Agent in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of rights or responsibilities under, this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any document contemplated by or referred to herein, to the extent that such Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by or on behalf of the Borrower Parties.  The agreements in this Section 11.7 shall survive the termination of the Commitments, payment of all of the Obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein, as well as the resignation or replacement of any Agent.
11.8.    Agents in Their Individual Capacity.  Each Agent (and any successor acting as an Agent) and its Affiliates may make loans to, issue letters of credit for the account of, accept deposits from, acquire equity interests in, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial advisory, underwriting or other business with any Borrower Party (or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates) as though such Agent were not an Agent or a Lender hereunder and without notice to or consent of the Lenders.  The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, any Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower Parties or their Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that such Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders and the Letter of Credit Issuer, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above.

If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Required Lenders) (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.

(d)    Resignation of Other Agents. Any other Agent may, at any time, resign upon written notice to the Lenders and the Borrowers.  If no successor agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the applicable Agent, then the retiring Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and the Borrowers, a successor Agent from any of the Lenders.  Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor agent hereunder, such successor agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and shall assume the duties and obligations of such retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Agent under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

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

Section 12.    MISCELLANEOUS
12.1.    Amendments.  Neither this Credit Agreement (including the exhibits hereto) nor any other Loan Document to which any Credit Party is a party, nor any of the terms hereof or thereof, may be amended, waived, discharged or terminated, unless such amendment, waiver, discharge, or termination is in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent (based upon the approval of the Required Lenders), or the Required Lenders, on the one hand, and such Credit Party on the other hand; and, if the rights or duties of an Agent are affected thereby, by such Agent; provided that no such amendment, waiver, discharge, or termination shall, without the consent of:
(a)    each Lender affected thereby:
(i)    reduce or increase the amount or alter the term of the Commitment of such Lender, alter the provisions relating to any fees (or any other payments) payable to such Lender, or accelerate the obligations of such Lender to advance its 

703041399 12410180    92






portion of any Borrowing, as contemplated in Section 2.5 or issue or participate in any Letter of Credit, as contemplated in Section 2.8;
(ii)    extend the time for payment for the principal of or interest on the Obligations, or fees or costs, or reduce the principal amount of the Obligations (except as a result of the application of payments or prepayments), or reduce the rate of interest borne by the Obligations (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of the Default Rate), or otherwise affect the terms of payment of the principal of or any interest on the Obligations or fees or costs hereunder;
(iii)    release any Liens granted under the Collateral Documents, except as otherwise contemplated herein or therein, and except in connection with the transfer of interests in any Fund Party permitted hereunder or in any other Loan Document; and

(ii)    amend the definition of “Available Commitment” or the definition of any of the defined terms used therein;
(iii)    amend the definition of “Applicable Requirement”, “Concentration Limit”, “Designated Investor”, “Eligible HNW Investor”, “Included Investor”, “Maturity Date”, “Principal Obligations”, “HNW Investor” or the definition of any of the defined terms used therein;

The Administrative Agent agrees that it will notify the Lenders of any proposed modification or amendment to any Loan Document, and deliver drafts of any such proposed modification or amendment to the Lenders, prior to the effectiveness of such proposed modification or amendment.  Notwithstanding the above: (A) no provisions of Section 11 may be amended or modified without the consent of the Administrative Agent; (B) no provisions of Section 2.8 may be amended or modified without the consent of the Letter of Credit Issuer; and (C) Section 8 and Section 9 specify the requirements for waivers of the Affirmative Covenants and Negative Covenants listed therein, 

703041399 12410180    93






and any amendment to a provision of Section 8 or Section 9 shall require the consent of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent that are specified therein as required for a waiver thereof.  Any amendment, waiver or consent not specifically addressed in this Section 12.1 or otherwise shall be subject to the approval of Required Lenders.
Notwithstanding the fact that the consent of all the Lenders is required in certain circumstances as set forth above: (1) each Lender is entitled to vote as such Lender sees fit on any reorganization plan that affects the Loans or the Letters of Credit, and each Lender acknowledges that the provisions of Section 1126(c) of the Bankruptcy Code of the United States supersede the unanimous consent provisions set forth herein; (2) the Required Lenders may consent to allow a Credit Party to use cash collateral in the context of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding; and (3) the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, agree to the modification or waiver of any of the other terms of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or consent to any action or failure to act by any Credit Party, if such modification, waiver, or consent is of an administrative nature.
If the Administrative Agent shall request the consent of any Lender to any amendment, change, waiver, discharge, termination, consent or exercise of rights covered by this Credit Agreement, and not receive such consent or denial thereof in writing within ten (10) Business Days of the making of such request by the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, such Lender shall be deemed to have denied its consent to the request.
12.2.    Sharing of Offsets.  If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other obligations hereunder resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such obligations (other than pursuant to Article IV or Section 12.5) greater than its pro rata share thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other obligations of the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of obligations owing them; provided that:
		
	(i)
	if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest, and


		
	(ii)
	the provisions of this paragraph shall not be construed to apply to (A) any payment made by the Borrowers pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Credit Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (B) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Sections 2.8(h) and 4.9 or (C) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Loans and Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries (as to which the provisions of this paragraph shall apply).



703041399 12410180    94






Each Credit Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against each Credit Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of each Credit Party in the amount of such participation.
12.3.    Sharing of Collateral.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Lender and the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, agrees that if it shall, through the receipt of any proceeds from a Capital Call or the exercise of any remedies under any Collateral Documents, receive or be entitled to receive payment of a portion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and fees due to it under this Credit Agreement which constitutes a greater proportion of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and fees then due to such Lender under this Credit Agreement than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of principal, interest and fees due with respect to any Obligations to such Lender under this Credit Agreement, then such Lender or the Administrative Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, as the case may be, shall purchase participations in the Obligations under this Credit Agreement held by such other Lenders so that all such recoveries of principal, interest and fees with respect to this Credit Agreement, the Notes and the Obligations thereunder held by the Lenders shall be pro rata according to each Lender’s Commitment (determined as of the date hereof and regardless of any change in any Lender’s Commitment caused by such Lender’s receipt of a proportionately greater or lesser payment hereunder).  Each Lender hereby authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to coordinate and implement the sharing of collateral contemplated by this Section 12.3 prior to the distribution of proceeds from Capital Calls or proceeds from the exercise of remedies under the Collateral Documents prior to making any distributions of such proceeds to each Lender or the Administrative Agent, in their respective capacity as the Lenders.
12.4.    Waiver.  No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, any right or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such a right or power, preclude any other further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power.  The rights and remedies of the Agents and the Lenders hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall be in addition to all other rights provided by law.  No modification or waiver of any provision of this Credit Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents, nor consent to departure therefrom, shall be effective unless in writing and no such consent or waiver shall extend beyond the particular case and purpose involved.  No notice or demand given in any case shall constitute a waiver of the right to take other action in the same, similar or other instances without such notice or demand.  Subject to the terms of this Credit Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 12.1), the Administrative Agent acting on behalf of all Lenders, and the Credit Parties may from time to time enter into agreements amending or changing any provision of this Credit Agreement or the rights of the Lenders or the Credit Parties hereunder, or may grant waivers or consents to a departure from the due performance of the obligations of the Credit Parties hereunder, any such agreement, waiver or consent made with such written consent of the Administrative Agent being effective to bind all the Lenders, except as provided in Section 12.1. A waiver on any one or more occasions shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion.

703041399 12410180    95






12.5.    Payment of Expenses; Indemnity.
(a)    Cost and Expenses.

with the Loans, this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including without limitation, reasonable attorneys and consultant’s fees, provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or (y) result from a claim brought by any Credit Party or any Subsidiary thereof against an Indemnitee for breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if such Credit Party or such Subsidiary has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(c)    Reimbursement by the Lenders.  To the extent that the Borrowers for any reason fail to indefeasibly pay any amount required under clause (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the Letter of Credit Issuer or any Related Party of any of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Letter of Credit Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s pro rata share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought based on each Lender’s share of the Principal Obligations at such time) of such unpaid amount (including any such unpaid amount in respect of a claim asserted by such Lender); provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), the Letter of Credit Issuer in its capacity as such, or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent), Letter of Credit Issuer in connection with such capacity.

To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Borrowers and each other Credit Party shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.  No Indemnitee referred to in clause (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by it through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.
(e)    Payments.  All amounts due under this Section shall be payable promptly after demand therefor.

12.9.    Invalid Provisions.  If any provision of this Credit Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective during the term of this Credit Agreement, such provision shall be fully severable and this Credit Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part of this Credit Agreement, and the remaining provisions of this Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance from this Credit Agreement, unless such continued effectiveness of this Credit Agreement, as modified, would be contrary to the basic understandings and intentions of the parties as expressed herein.  If any provision of this Credit Agreement shall conflict with or be inconsistent with any provision of any of the other Loan Documents, then the terms, conditions and provisions of this Credit Agreement shall prevail.
12.10.    Entirety.  The Loan Documents embody the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
12.11.    Successors and Assigns; Participations.
(a)    Successors and Assigns Generally.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrowers nor any other Credit Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (d) of this Section or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of paragraph (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in paragraph (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of each of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement. 
(b)    Assignments by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees (each, an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that, in each case, any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i)    Minimum Amounts.  

703041399 12410180    100






		
	1.
	in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Lending Funds that equal at least the amount specified in paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section in the aggregate or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Lending Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and;


		
	2.
	in any case not described in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding hereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of such “Trade Date”) shall not be less than $5,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers otherwise consent (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided that the Borrowers shall be deemed to have given their consent five (5) Business Days after the date written notice thereof has been delivered by the assigning Lender (through the Administrative Agent) unless such consent is expressly refused by the Borrowers prior to such fifth (5th) Business Day.


(ii)    Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Commitment assigned.
(iii)    Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by paragraph (b)(i)(B) of this Section and, in addition:
		
	1.
	the consent of the Borrowers (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Lending Fund; provided, that the Borrowers shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless they shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; and provided, further, that the Borrowers’ consent shall not be required during the primary syndication of the Credit Facility;



703041399 12410180    101






		
	2.
	the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments if such assignment is to a Person that is not a Lender with a Commitment, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved Lending Fund with respect to such Lender; and


		
	3.
	the consent of the Letter of Credit Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment.


(iv)    Assignment and Assumption.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 for each assignment; provided that (A) only one such fee will be payable in connection with simultaneous assignments to two or more Approved Lending Funds by a Lender and (B) the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.  The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire if requested by the Administrative Agent.
(v)    No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to (A) any Credit Party or any Credit Party’s Subsidiaries or Affiliates or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Affiliates, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this clause (B).
(vi)    No Assignment to Natural Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person.
(vii)    Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested, but not funded by, the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit in accordance with its Pro Rata Share.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with 

703041399 12410180    102






the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
(viii)    Consequences of Assignment. Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Article IV and Section 12.5 with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section.
(c)    Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, shall maintain at one of its offices in Charlotte, North Carolina, a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitment of, and principal amounts of (and stated interest on) the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, absent manifest error, and the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and any Lender (but only to the extent of entries in the Register that are applicable to such Lender), at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)    Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrowers or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person or the Borrowers or any of the Borrowers’ Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations 

703041399 12410180    103






under this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, each Lender shall be responsible for the indemnity under Section 12.5(c) with respect to any payments made by such Lender to its Participant(s).
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to any amendment, modification or waiver or modification described in Section 12.1 that directly affects such Participant and could not be affected by a vote of the Required Lenders.  The Borrowers agree that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Article IV (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements of Section 4.1(f) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 4.1(f) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 4.8 as if it were an assignee under paragraph (b) of this Section and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 4.1 and 4.4, with respect to such participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Change in Law that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation. Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrowers’ request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrowers to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.8(b) with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 5.3 as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 12.2 as though it were a Lender.
(e)    Participant Register.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrowers, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant's interest in any Commitments, Loans, Letters of Credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such Commitment, Loan, Letter of Credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(f)    Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including without limitation any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve 

703041399 12410180    104






Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(g)    Addition of Lenders.  With the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion, at the request of the Borrowers, a new lender may join the Credit Facility as a Lender and such new Lender shall assume all rights and obligations of a Lender under this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that:
(i)    The Commitment of the new Lender shall be in addition to the Commitment of the existing Lenders in effect on the date of such new Lender’s entry into the Credit Facility and the Maximum Commitment shall be increased in a corresponding amount;
(ii)    the Commitment of the new Lender shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000, or such lesser amount agreed to by the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent;
(iii)    if any new Lender is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof, it shall deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of Taxes in accordance with Section 4.1(f); and
(iv)    the Borrowers shall execute such new Notes as the Administrative Agent or any Lender may request, and the new Lender shall deliver payment of a processing and recordation fee of $3,500 to the Administrative Agent, which amount the Administrative Agent may waive in its sole discretion.
(h)    Disclosure of Information.  Any Lender may furnish any information concerning any Credit Party in the possession of such Lender from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants), subject, however, to the provisions of Section 12.16.
12.12.    All Powers Coupled with Interest.  All powers of attorney and other authorizations granted to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent and any Persons designated by the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to any provisions of this Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable so long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid or unsatisfied, any of the Commitments remain in effect or the Credit Facility has not been terminated.
12.13.    Headings.  Section headings are for convenience of reference only and shall in no way affect the interpretation of this Credit Agreement.
12.14.    Survival.  All representations and warranties made by the Credit Parties herein shall survive delivery of the Notes, the making of the Loans and the issuance of the Letters of Credit.

703041399 12410180    105






12.15.    Full Recourse.  The payment and performance of the Obligations shall be fully recourse to the Fund Parties and their properties and assets. Notwithstanding anything in this Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents to the contrary, the Obligations shall not be recourse to the Borrower Managing Member or the Guarantor General Partner and the Lenders shall not have the right to pursue any claim or action against the Borrower Managing Member or the Guarantor General Partner except for any claim or action for actual damages of the Agents or Lenders as a result of any fraud, willful misrepresentation or willful misappropriation of proceeds from the Credit Facility on the part of the Borrower Managing Member or the Guarantor General Partner, as applicable, in which event there shall be full recourse against such Person. 
12.16.    Availability of Records; Confidentiality.  (a) the Credit Parties acknowledge and agree that the Administrative Agent may provide to the Lenders, and that the Administrative Agent and each Lender may provide to any Affiliate of a Lender or Participant or Assignee or proposed Participant or Assignee and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, advisors, auditors, counsel, rating agencies and agents or any other Person as deemed necessary or appropriate in any Lender’s reasonable judgment, provided such party is advised of the confidential nature of such information, originals or copies of this Credit Agreement, all Loan Documents, Borrowing Base Certificates, and all other documents, certificates, opinions, letters of credit, reports, and other material information of every nature or description, and may communicate all oral information, at any time submitted by or on behalf of any Borrower Party or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender in connection with the Loans, the Letter of Credit Liability, the Commitments or any Borrower Party; provided that, prior to any such delivery or communication, the Lender, Affiliate of a Lender, Participant, or Assignee, or proposed Participant or Assignee or such other Person, as the case may be, shall agree to preserve the confidentiality of all data and information which constitutes Confidential Information; (b) the Credit Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (i) acknowledge and agree that (x) the identities of the Investors, the amounts of their respective Capital Commitments and details regarding their Investments under the applicable Constituent Documents (collectively, the “Investor Information”) have been and will be delivered on a confidential basis; and (y) information with respect to Investments has been and will be delivered on a confidential basis; (ii) acknowledge and agree that such Investor Information and information with respect to Investments are Confidential Information; and (iii) agree that such Investor Information and information with respect to Investments shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 12.16; and (c) anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the provisions of this Section 12.16 shall not preclude or restrict any such party from disclosing any Confidential Information:  (i) with the prior written consent of any Credit Party; (ii) upon the order of or pursuant to the rules and regulations of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over such party or its Related Parties (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners); (iii) in connection with any audit by an independent public accountant of such party, provided such auditor thereto agrees to be bound by the provisions of this Section 12.16; (iv) to examiners or auditors of any applicable Governmental Authority which examines such party’s books and records while conducting such examination or audit; or (v) as otherwise specifically required by law.
12.17.    USA Patriot Act Notice.  Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies each Credit Party that pursuant to the requirements of 

703041399 12410180    106






the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001)) (the “Patriot Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each Credit Party, which information includes the name and address of each Credit Party and other information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify each Credit Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.
12.18.    Multiple Counterparts.  This Credit Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement, and any of the parties hereto may execute this Credit Agreement by signing any such counterpart. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Credit Agreement by facsimile or in electronic (i.e., “pdf” or “tif”) format shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Credit Agreement.
12.19.    Term of Agreement.  This Credit Agreement shall remain in effect from the Closing Date through and including the date upon which all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations not then due) arising hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall have been indefeasibly and irrevocably paid and satisfied in full, all Letters of Credit have been terminated or expired and all Commitments have been terminated.  No termination of this Credit Agreement shall affect the rights and obligations of the parties hereto arising prior to such termination or in respect of any provision of this Credit Agreement which survives such termination.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Credit Agreement shall remain in full force and effect after the Maturity Date if any Letters of Credit remain outstanding, even if Cash Collateralized.
12.20.    Inconsistencies with Other Documents.  In the event there is a conflict or inconsistency between this Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document, the terms of this Credit Agreement shall control; provided that any provision of the Collateral Documents which imposes additional burdens on any Credit Party or further restricts the rights of any Credit Party or any of its Affiliates or gives the Administrative Agent or Lenders additional rights shall not be deemed to be in conflict or inconsistent with this Credit Agreement and shall be given full force and effect.
Section 13.    GUARANTY
13.1.    Guaranty of Payment and Performance.  
•The Guarantor hereby guarantees the prompt payment to the Lenders and Administrative Agent, as and when due to the Lenders and Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement and the Borrower and Managing Member Security Agreement, of (i) the entire Capital Commitment which Acadia Realty Acquisition IV LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, has committed to Acadia Realty Acquisition IV LLC pursuant to the LLC Agreement, (ii) all legal and other costs or expenses paid or incurred by or on behalf of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent in the enforcement thereof or hereof and (iii) any loss, cost, damage or expense paid or incurred by or on behalf of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent by reason of (1) gross negligence or fraudulent acts or omissions, or (2) the termination or amendment of any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements filed in connection with 

703041399 12410180    107






this Credit Agreement, without the Lenders’ and Administrative Agent’s prior written consent.  The Guarantor further guarantees that the representations and warranties made by the Borrower in this Credit Agreement, the Borrower and Managing Member Security Agreement and all other documents executed and delivered by the Borrowers to the Lenders and/or Administrative Agent in connection with the Credit Agreement are true as of the date hereof, and, in the event proceeds of this Credit Agreement are advanced, or other credit is extended, to the Borrowers from time to time, that each request for any loan or other extension of credit under this Credit Agreement, by whomsoever made, shall constitute the Guarantor’s personal affirmation that at the time thereof said representations and warranties by the Borrowers, together with those representations and warranties made by the Guarantor in this Section 13, are true and correct.  The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and that the agreements, guaranties and waivers made by the Guarantor herein, and the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, are and shall at all times continue to be primary, absolute and unconditional.
13.2.    Obligations Unconditional.  The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of the value, genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents or any other agreement or instrument referred to therein, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of any other circumstance whatsoever which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety or guarantor.  The Guarantor agrees that this Guaranty may be enforced by any Secured Party without the necessity at any time of resorting to or exhausting any other security or collateral and without the necessity at any time of having recourse to the Notes or any other of the Loan Documents or any collateral, if any, hereafter securing the Obligations or otherwise and the Guarantor hereby waives the right to require the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Lenders to make demand on or proceed against any Borrower Party or any other Person (including a co-guarantor) or to require the Administrative Agent, the Letter of Credit Issuer or the Lenders to pursue any other remedy or enforce any other right.  The Guarantor further agrees that nothing contained herein shall prevent any Secured Party from suing on the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or foreclosing its or their, as applicable, security interest in or Lien on any Collateral, if any, securing the Obligations or from exercising any other rights available to it or them, as applicable, under this Credit Agreement, the Notes, any other of the Loan Documents, or any other instrument of security, if any, and the exercise of any of the aforesaid rights and the completion of any foreclosure proceedings shall not constitute a discharge of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder; it being the purpose and intent of the Guarantor that its obligations hereunder shall be absolute, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances.  Neither the Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty nor any remedy for the enforcement thereof shall be impaired, modified, changed or released in any manner whatsoever by an impairment, modification, change, release, increase or limitation of the liability of any Credit Party or by reason of the bankruptcy, insolvency or analogous procedure of any Credit Party.  The Guarantor waives any and all notice of the creation, renewal, extension accrual or increase of any of the Obligations and notice of or proof of reliance by any Secured Party on this Guaranty or acceptance of this Guaranty.  The Obligations, and any part of them, shall conclusively be deemed to have been created, contracted or incurred, or renewed, 

703041399 12410180    108






extended, amended or waived, in reliance upon this Guaranty.  All dealings between the Credit Parties, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, likewise shall be conclusively presumed to have been had or consummated in reliance upon this Guaranty.  The Guarantor represents and warrants that it is, and immediately after giving effect to the Guaranty and the obligation evidenced hereby, will be, Solvent.
This Credit Agreement and the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be valid and enforceable and shall not be subject to any limitation, impairment or discharge for any reason (other than payment in full of the Obligations), including, without limitation, the occurrence of any of the following, whether or not the Administrative Agent shall have had notice or knowledge of any of them:  (A) any failure to assert or enforce or agreement not to assert or enforce, or the stay or enjoining, by order of court, by operation of law or otherwise, of the exercise or enforcement of, any claim or demand or any right, power or remedy with respect to the Obligations or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any guaranty of or other security for the payment of the Obligations, (B) any waiver, amendment or modification of, or any consent to departure from, any of the terms or provisions (including without limitation provisions relating to events of default) of this Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument executed pursuant thereto, or of any guaranty or other security for the Obligations, (C) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any of the Obligations, or any agreement relating thereto, at any time being found to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable in any respect, (D) the application of payments received from any source to the payment of indebtedness other than the Obligations, even though the Administrative Agent might have elected to apply such payment to any part or all of the Obligations, (E) any failure to perfect or continue perfection of a security interest in any of the Collateral, (F) any defenses, set-offs or counterclaims which the Borrowers may allege or assert against the Administrative Agent in respect of the Obligations, including but not limited to failure of consideration, breach of warranty, payment, statute of frauds, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction and usury, and (G) any other act or thing or omission, or delay to do any other act or thing, which may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor as an obligor in respect of the Obligations.
13.3.    Modifications.  The Guarantor agrees that: (a) all or any part of the Collateral now or hereafter held for the Obligations, if any, may be exchanged, compromised or surrendered from time to time; (b) none of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent shall have any obligation to protect, perfect, secure or insure any such security interests, liens or encumbrances now or hereafter held, if any, for the Obligations; (c) the time or place of payment of the Obligations may be changed or extended, in whole or in part, to a time certain or otherwise, and may be renewed or accelerated, in whole or in part; (d) the Borrowers, the Guarantor and any other party liable for payment under the Loan Documents may be granted indulgences generally; (e) any of the provisions of the Note or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, this Credit Agreement may be modified, amended or waived; (f) any party (including any co-guarantor) liable for the payment thereof may be granted indulgences or be released; and (g) any deposit balance for the credit of the Borrowers, the Guarantor or any other party liable for the payment of the Obligations or liable upon any security therefor may be released, in whole or in part, at, before or after the stated, extended or accelerated maturity of the Obligations, all without notice to or further assent by the Guarantor, 

703041399 12410180    109






which shall remain bound thereon, notwithstanding any such exchange, compromise, surrender, extension, renewal, acceleration, modification, indulgence or release.
13.4.    Waiver of Rights.  The Guarantor expressly waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law: (a) notice of acceptance of the Guaranty by the Lenders and of all extensions of credit to any Credit Party by the Lenders; (b) presentment and demand for payment or performance of any of the Obligations; (c) protest and notice of dishonor or of default (except as specifically required in this Credit Agreement) with respect to the Obligations or with respect to any security therefor; (d) notice of the Lenders obtaining, amending, substituting for, releasing, waiving or modifying any security interest, lien or encumbrance, if any, hereafter securing the Obligations, or the Lenders subordinating, compromising, discharging or releasing such security interests, liens or encumbrances, if any; (e) all other notices, demands, presentments, protests or any agreement or instrument related to this Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or the Obligations to which the Guarantor might otherwise be entitled; (f) any right to require the Administrative Agent as a condition of payment or performance by the Guarantor, to (A) proceed against the Borrowers, any guarantor of the Obligations or any other Person, (B) proceed against or exhaust any other security held from the Borrowers, any guarantor of the Obligations or any other Person, (C) proceed against or have resort to any balance of any deposit account, securities account or credit on the books of the Administrative Agent or any other Person, or (D) pursue any other remedy in the power of the Administrative Agent whatsoever; (g) any defense arising by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority or any disability or other defense of the Borrowers including, without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the lack of validity or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any agreement or instrument relating thereto or by reason of the cessation of the liability of the Borrowers from any cause other than payment in full of the Obligations; (h) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal; (i) any defense based upon the Administrative Agent’s errors or omissions in the administration of the Obligations; (j) (A) any principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Credit Agreement and any legal or equitable discharge of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder, (B) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement hereof, (C) any rights to set-offs, recoupments and counterclaims, and (D) promptness, diligence and any requirement that the Administrative Agent protect, secure, perfect or insure any other security interest or Lien or any property subject thereto; and (k) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defenses or benefits that may be derived from or afforded by law which limit the liability of or exonerate guarantors or sureties, or which may conflict with the terms of this Credit Agreement.
13.5.    Reinstatement.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the obligations of the Guarantor under this Section 13 shall be automatically reinstated if and to the extent that for any reason any payment by or on behalf of any Person in respect of the Obligations is rescinded or must be otherwise restored by any holder of any of the Obligations, whether as a result of any proceedings in bankruptcy, reorganization, any analogous procedure or otherwise, and the Guarantor agrees that it will indemnify each Secured Party on demand for all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees of outside counsel) incurred by such Person in connection with such rescission or restoration, 

703041399 12410180    110






including any such costs and expenses incurred in defending against any claim alleging that such payment constituted a preference, fraudulent transfer or similar payment under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.
13.6.    Remedies.  The Guarantor agrees that, as between the Guarantor, on the one hand, and the Secured Parties, on the other hand, the Obligations may be declared to be forthwith due and payable (and shall be deemed to have become automatically due and payable) notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such declaration (or preventing such Obligation from becoming automatically due and payable) as against any other Person and that, in the event of such declaration (or such Obligation being deemed to have become automatically due and payable), such Obligation (whether or not due and payable by any other Person) shall forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantor.  The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that its obligations hereunder are secured in accordance with the terms of the Collateral Documents and that the Secured Parties may exercise their remedies thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof.
13.7.    Subrogation.  The Guarantor agrees that, until the indefeasible payment of the Obligations in full in cash, it will not exercise any right of reimbursement, subrogation, indemnification, contribution, offset, remedy (direct or indirect) or other claims against any other Credit Party arising by contract or operation of law or equity in connection with any payment made or required to be made by the Guarantor under this Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents now or hereafter.  The Guarantor further agrees that, to the extent the waiver of its rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution as set forth herein is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason, any rights of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification the Guarantor may have against any other Credit Party or against any Collateral or other collateral or security, and any rights of contribution the Guarantor may have against any other Credit Party, shall be junior and subordinate to any rights the Administrative Agent may have against such Credit Party and to all right, title and interest the Administrative Agent may have in any such other collateral.
13.8.    Inducement.  The Lenders have been induced to make the Loans to the Borrowers in part based upon the assurances by the Guarantor that the Guarantor desires that the Obligations of the Guarantor under the Loan Documents be honored and enforced as separate obligations of the Guarantor, should Administrative Agent and the Lenders desire to do so.
13.9.    Combined Liability.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Guarantor shall be liable to the Lenders for all representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and indemnities, including, without limitation, the Guaranty Obligation, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at their option enforce the entire amount of the Guaranty Obligation against the Guarantor.
13.10.    Borrower Information.  The Guarantor confirms and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation to disclose or discuss with the Guarantor its assessment of the financial condition of the Borrowers.  The Guarantor has adequate means to obtain information from the Borrowers on a continuing basis concerning the financial condition of the Borrowers and its ability to perform its obligations under the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document, and the Guarantor assumes the responsibility for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the Borrowers and of all circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the 

703041399 12410180    111






Obligations. The Guarantor hereby waives and relinquishes any duty on the part of the Administrative Agent to disclose any matter, fact or thing relating to the business, operations or condition of the Borrowers now known or hereafter known by the Administrative Agent.  The Guarantor hereby waives any right to have the Collateral or other collateral or security securing the Obligations marshaled.
13.11.    Instrument for the Payment of Money.  The Guarantor hereby acknowledges that the guarantee in this Section 13 constitutes an instrument for the payment of money, and consents and agrees that any Lender or the Administrative Agent, at its sole option, in the event of a dispute by the Guarantor in the payment of any moneys due hereunder, shall have the right to bring motions and/or actions under New York CPLR Section 3213.

C-1-4
703287387 12410180






(i)    To sell the Collateral or any part thereof, upon giving at least ten (10) days’ prior notice to the Pledgors of the time and place of sale (which notice each Pledgor and the Administrative Agent agree is commercially reasonable), for cash or upon credit or for future delivery; the Pledgors hereby waive all rights, if any, of marshalling the Collateral and any other security for the Obligations, and at the option and in the complete discretion of the Administrative Agent, either:
(A)    at public sale; or
(B)    at private sale, in which event such notice shall also contain the terms of the proposed sale, and the Pledgors shall have until the time of such proposed sale in which to redeem the Collateral or to procure a purchaser willing, ready and able to purchase the Collateral on terms more favorable to the Pledgors, the Secured Parties and the holders of the Notes, and if such a purchaser is so procured, then the Administrative Agent shall sell the Collateral to the purchaser so procured; and
(ii)    To bid for and to acquire, unless prohibited by applicable law, free from any redemption right, the Collateral, or any part thereof, and, if the Secured Parties are then the holders of the Obligations or any participation or other interest therein, in lieu of paying cash therefor, the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties may make settlement for the selling price by crediting the net selling price, if any, after deducting all costs and expenses of every kind, upon the outstanding principal amount of the Obligations, in such order and manner as the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties, in its discretion, may deem advisable. The Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties, upon so acquiring the Collateral, or any part thereof, shall be entitled to hold or otherwise deal with or dispose of the same in any manner not prohibited by applicable law.
(b)    From time to time the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, postpone the time and change the place of any proposed sale of any of the Collateral for which notice has been given as provided above if, in the judgment of Administrative Agent, such postponement or change is necessary or appropriate in order that the provisions of this Security Agreement applicable to such sale may be fulfilled or in order to obtain more favorable conditions under which such sale may take place. The Administrative Agent shall give the Pledgors reasonable notice of such change.
(c)    In case of any sale by the Administrative Agent of any of the Collateral on credit, which may be elected at the option and in the complete discretion of Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, the Collateral so sold may be retained by the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties until the selling price is paid by the purchaser, but neither Administrative Agent nor the Secured Parties shall incur any liability in case of failure of the purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold. In case of any such failure, such Collateral so sold may be again similarly sold. After deducting all costs or expenses of every kind (including, without limitation, the reasonable attorneys’ fees and legal expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and the Secured Parties), the 

C-1-5
703287387 12410180






Administrative Agent shall apply the residue of the proceeds of any sale or sales, if any, to pay the principal of and interest upon the Obligations in accordance with Section 3.4 of the Credit Agreement. The excess, if any, shall be paid to Pledgors, as applicable, or as otherwise required by applicable law. Neither the Administrative Agent nor the Secured Parties shall incur any liability as a result of the sale of the Collateral at any private sale or sales.

11.    Notwithstanding a foreclosure upon any of the Collateral or exercise of any other remedy by Administrative Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties upon the occurrence of an Event of Default: (i) no Pledgor shall be subrogated thereby to any rights of Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties against the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or any Pledgor, or any property of any Pledgor; (ii) nor shall any Pledgor be deemed to be the owner of any interest in the Obligations; and (iii) nor shall any Pledgor exercise any rights or remedies with respect to any Pledgor or the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations or any of them or the property of any Pledgor until the Obligations has been paid to Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties and is fully performed and discharged.
12.    The Borrower Managing Member and the Borrower hereby agrees to the subordination of Other Claims in accordance with Section 5.4 of the Credit Agreement.

C-1-6
703287387 12410180






one or more occasions shall not be construed as a bar to or waiver of any right or remedy on any future occasion.
15.

	10.
	a.    During the existence of an Event of Default, Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in addition to any other remedies it may have, may do one or more of the following:


		
	i.
	declare the Obligations immediately due and payable;


		
	ii.
	demand payment and performance thereof from the funds in or credited to the Collateral Account; and


		
	iii.
	withdraw funds from the Collateral Account and apply all or any portion of the Collateral Account to the Obligations as described in paragraph 13 hereof.


		
	b.
	Assignor hereby authorizes Administrative Agent during the existence of an Event of Default and so long as any part of the Obligations remain outstanding:


		
	i.
	to withdraw, collect, and receipt for any and all funds on deposit in or payable on the Collateral Account, and apply such funds to payment of the Obligations;


		
	ii.
	on behalf of Assignor to receive, take, assign, deliver, accept, deposit, and endorse the name of Assignor upon any checks, drafts, or other instruments payable to Assignor evidencing payment on the Collateral Account;


		
	iii.
	to surrender or present for notation of withdrawal the passbook, certificate, or other documents issued to Assignor in connection with the Collateral Account; and


		
	iv.
	exercise any other rights or take any other actions specified herein or in the Credit Agreement.

	Upon the occurrence of a Cash Control Event, Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, in addition to any other remedies it may have, may restrict or prohibit withdrawals from the Collateral Account.


		
	12.
	Neither Administrative Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be liable for any loss of interest on or any penalty or charge assessed against funds in, payable on, or credited to the  Collateral Account as a result of Administrative Agent, or any Secured Party exercising any of its rights or remedies under, and in accordance with, this assignment, except to the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct.


		
	13.
	Administrative Agent shall be entitled to apply any and all funds received by it hereunder toward payment and performance of the Obligations in such order and manner as Administrative Agent, in its absolute discretion, may elect.  If such funds are not sufficient to pay and perform the Obligations in full, Assignor shall remain liable for any deficiency, the liability of each person obligated on the Obligations to be determined by Administrative Agent following its receipt and crediting of such funds. Upon full and final payment of the Obligations, the rights of Administrative Agent in and to the  Collateral Account hereunder will be deemed to be released and of no further force and effect.


		
	14.
	All rights, titles, interests, Liens, and remedies of Secured Parties hereunder are cumulative of each other and of every other right, title, interest, Lien, or remedy which the Secured Parties may otherwise have at law or in equity or under any other contract or other writing for the enforcement of the security interest herein or the collection of the Obligations, and the exercise of one or more rights or remedies shall not prejudice or impair the concurrent or subsequent exercise of other rights or 



703287387 12410180    D-4






remedies.  Should Assignor have heretofore executed or hereafter execute any other security agreement in favor of the Secured Parties, the security interest therein created and all other rights, powers, and privileges vested in the Secured Parties by the terms thereof shall exist concurrently with the security interest created herein.
		
	15.
	Should any part of the Obligations be payable in installments, the acceptance by Administrative Agent at any time and from time to time of part payment of the aggregate amount of all installments then matured shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the default then existing.  No waiver by the Secured Parties of any default shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other subsequent default, nor shall any such waiver by the Secured Parties be deemed to be a continuing waiver.  No delay or omission by the Secured Parties in exercising any right or power hereunder, or under any other writings executed by Assignor as security for or in connection with the Obligations, shall impair any such right or power or be construed as a waiver thereof or any acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power preclude other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right or power of the Secured Parties hereunder or under such other writings.


		
	16.
	No provision herein or in any promissory note, instrument, or any other loan document evidencing the Obligations shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum permitted by law.  If any excess of interest in such respect is provided for herein or in any such promissory note, instrument, or any other loan document, the provisions of this paragraph shall govern, and the Assignor shall not be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to the extent that it is in excess of the amount permitted by law.  The intention of the parties being to conform strictly to the usury laws now in force, all promissory notes, instruments, and other loan documents evidencing the Obligations shall be held subject to reduction to the amount allowed under said usury laws as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction.


		
	17.
	Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.


		
	18.
	(a) PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW,  THE SUBSTANTIVE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION GOVERN THE CREATION, PERFECTION, VALIDITY, OR ENFORCEMENT OF LIENS UNDER THIS ASSIGNMENT, AND THE APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAWS OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, SHALL GOVERN THE VALIDITY, CONSTRUCTION, ENFORCEMENT AND INTERPRETATION OF THIS ASSIGNMENT.

(c) ASSIGNOR AND BANK OF AMERICA EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF ANY AGREEMENT ESTABLISHING THE  COLLATERAL ACCOUNT OR OTHERWISE GOVERNING THE COLLATERAL ACCOUNT SHALL, TO THE EXTENT INCONSISTENT HEREWITH (INCLUDING IN RESPECT OF THE FOREGOING CLAUSE (b)), BE SUBORDINATE TO AND CONTROLLED BY THIS ASSIGNMENT OF COLLATERAL ACCOUNT.


		
	19.
	Any suit, action or proceeding against Assignor with respect to this Assignment or any judgment entered by any court in respect thereof, may be brought in the courts of the State of New York, or 



703287387 12410180    D-5

Assignor hereby irrevocably consents to the service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in said court by the mailing thereof by Administrative Agent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to Assignor’s address set forth following its signature hereto.  Assignor hereby irrevocably waives any objections which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Assignment brought in the courts located in the State of New York, Borough of Manhattan in New York City, and hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.  ASSIGNOR HEREBY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN CONNECTION WITH THIS ASSIGNMENT, WHICH WAIVER IS INFORMED AND VOLUNTARY.
		
	20.
	This assignment shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of Assignor and Administrative Agent and their respective successors and permitted assigns.


		
	21.
	This Assignment and the provisions set forth herein shall continue until the full, final, and complete satisfaction of the Obligations, and the Administrative Agent’s and the Secured Parties’ rights hereunder shall not be released, diminished, impaired, reduced or adversely affected by: (i) the renewal, extension, modification, amendment or alteration of the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any related document or instrument; (ii) any adjustment, indulgence, forbearance or compromise that might be granted or given by Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties to any primary or secondary obligor or in connection with any security for the Obligations; (iii) any full or partial release of any of the foregoing; or (iv) notice of any of the foregoing.

AND AGREEMENT 

The undersigned depository, Bank of America, N.A. (the “Depository”), acknowledges that Assignor has assigned the Collateral Account as described in the foregoing Collateral Account Assignment (the “Assignment”, with capitalized terms not defined herein being used herein as therein defined).  The records of the Depository have been marked to show the Assignment.  The Depository hereby acknowledges that the Collateral Account, as described in the Assignment, has been validly created by the Depository in favor of Assignor.
Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary in any other agreement between the Depository and the Assignor and/or the Administrative Agent, the Depository agrees that if at any time it shall receive any instructions directing deposition of funds in the Account from the Administrative Agent, the Depository shall comply with such instructions without further consent by the Assignor.  In the event the Assignor is permitted to give instructions with respect to the Account, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any other agreement between the Depository and the Assignor and/or the Administrative Agent, if at the time the Depository shall receive conflicting instructions from the Assignor and the Administrative Agent, the Depository shall follow the instructions of the Administrative Agent and not the Assignor.
The Depository hereby subordinates any and all rights of set-off and all other rights and Liens of the Depository against the Collateral Account to the rights, security interests, and Liens under the Assignment, and agrees that, so long as the Obligation remains outstanding, Depository shall not, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent may be withheld by the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion, with or without cause, exercise or enforce any rights or remedies with respect to the Collateral Account except as required to preserve its rights in the case of bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency proceedings with respect to the Assignor, and except that the Depository may charge the  Collateral Account for any charges, fees and expenses for which Assignor is responsible and which relate to the transactions contemplated by the Assignment or the Credit Agreement referred to therein.
The Depository may rely upon and shall be fully protected, indemnified and held harmless in acting or refraining from acting upon any notice (including, without limitation, electronically confirmed facsimiles of such notice) received from the Assignee or the Assignor (including, without limitation, any notice of an Event of Default or Cash Control Event as defined in the Assignment or the Credit Agreement referred to in the Assignment) and believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.
The Depository further agrees to provide Assignee with copies of all notices and records sent to Assignor relating to the Collateral Account, and will deliver to Assignee all monthly (or other periodic) statements of the Collateral Account and respond to inquiries by Assignee about any deposits, withdrawals or any other matters relating to the Collateral Account, to the same extent Depository makes such information available to the Collateral Account holder, and Assignor hereby acknowledges and consents to such agreement by Depository.

2.    Reference is made to that certain Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of November 21, 2012 by and among ACADIA STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITY FUND IV LLC, as a borrower, and any Borrowers which become a party thereto pursuant to the terms thereof (the “Borrowers”), ACADIA REALTY ACQUISITION IV, LLC as Borrower Managing Member, the banks and financial institutions listed on the signature pages thereof as the Initial Lenders (the “Initial Lenders”), each of the other lending institutions that becomes a lender thereunder (together with the Initial Lenders, each a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”) and BANK OF AMERICA N.A., as the Administrative Agent, the Structuring Agent, the Sole Bookrunner, the Sole Lead Arranger, the Letter of Credit Issuer and a Lender (as the same may be modified, amended, or restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).

The aggregate unpaid amount of all Borrowings set forth on grids which may be attached hereto shall, absent manifest error, be presumptive evidence of the unpaid principal amount of this Note.
5.    This Note has been executed and delivered pursuant to the Credit Agreement and is one of the “Notes” referred to therein, and the holder of this Note shall be entitled to the benefits provided in the Credit Agreement.

6.    If this Note, or any installment or payment due hereunder, is not paid when due, whether on the Maturity Date or by acceleration, or if it is collected through a bankruptcy, probate or other court, whether before or after the Maturity Date, the Maker agrees to pay all out-of-pocket costs of collection, including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and expenses incurred by the holder hereof and cost of appeal as provided in the Credit Agreement.

FORM OF QUALIFIED BORROWER GUARANTY
Dated as of [DATE]
THIS QUALIFIED BORROWER GUARANTY (the “Qualified Borrower Guaranty”) is made as of [DATE] by [NAME OF BORROWER], a [jurisdiction of organization] [type of organization] (the “Guarantor”) in favor of BANK OF AMERICA N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), for the benefit of the Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement).
Reference is made to that certain Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of November 21, 2012 by and among [ACADIA STRATEGIC OPPORTUNITY FUND IV LLC], a [DELAWARE LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY] (the “Borrower”), any Borrowers which become a party thereto pursuant to Section 6.3 or Section 6.4 thereof (the “Borrowers”)], the banks and financial institutions listed on the signature pages thereof as the Initial Lenders (the “Initial Lenders”), each of the other lending institutions that becomes a lender thereunder (together with the Initial Lenders, each a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”), BANK OF AMERICA N.A., as the Administrative Agent, the Structuring Agent, the Sole Bookrunner, the Sole Lead Arranger, the Letter of Credit Issuer and as a Lender (as the same may be modified, amended, or restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”).  Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
1.    The Guarantor represents and warrants that it has received or will receive direct or indirect benefit from the making of this Qualified Borrower Guaranty and the creation of the Guaranteed Debt (as defined below), that the Guarantor is familiar with the financial condition of the Qualified Borrower (as defined below) and the value of any collateral security for the Guaranteed Debt and that the Creditor has made no representations to the Guarantor in order to induce the Guarantor to execute this Borrower Guaranty.
2.    In connection with Credit Agreement, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely guarantees, in favor of the Administrative Agent for each of the Secured Parties (collectively, the “Creditor”), the prompt payment when due of all interest, principal, fees, expenses and other amounts now or hereafter represented by, or arising in connection with: (a) [that][those] certain Note[s], payable to the order of the Creditor and as more particularly described on Schedule A, including, without limitation, all liabilities and indebtedness represented or evidenced by any promissory note given in renewal, extension, modification or substitution of or for and such Note (each, a “Qualified Borrower Note”); and (b) all obligations of the Qualified Borrower[s] listed on Schedule A (each, a “Qualified Borrower”) under the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Guaranteed Debt”) in accordance with the terms of this Qualified Borrower Guaranty.  This is an unconditional guaranty of payment, and not a guaranty of collection, and the Creditor may enforce the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder pursuant to the Credit Agreement without first suing, or enforcing its rights or remedies against the Qualified Borrower or any other obligor, or enforcing or collecting any present or future collateral security for the Guaranteed Debt.  

J-1

3.    The Guarantor hereby waives notice of: (a) acceptance of this Qualified Borrower Guaranty; (b) the extension of credit by the Creditor to the Qualified Borrower; (c) the occurrence of any breach or default by the Qualified Borrower in respect of the Guaranteed Debt; (d) the sale or foreclosure on any collateral for the Guaranteed Debt; (e) the transfer of the Guaranteed Debt to any third party to the extent permitted under the Credit Agreement and to the extent that such notice is not required under the Credit Agreement; and (f) all other notices, except as otherwise required under the Credit Agreement.
4.    The Guarantor hereby agrees and acknowledges that its obligations hereunder shall not be released or discharged by the following:  (a) the renewal, extension, modification or alteration of the Qualified Borrower Note, the Guaranteed Debt or any related document or instrument; (b) any forbearance or compromise granted to the Qualified Borrower by the Creditor; (c) the insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or dissolution of the Qualified Borrower; (d) the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Debt; (e) the full or partial release of the Qualified Borrower or any other obligor; (f) the release, surrender, exchange, subordination, deterioration, waste, loss or impairment (including without limitation negligent, willful, unreasonable or unjustifiable impairment) of any collateral for the Guaranteed Debt; (g) the failure of the Creditor properly to obtain, perfect or preserve any security interest or lien in any such collateral; (h) the failure of the Creditor to exercise diligence, commercial reasonableness or reasonable care in the preservation, enforcement or sale of any such collateral; provided, that, such acknowledgement shall not be a waiver of the Creditor’s obligations to sell collateral in a commercially reasonable manner to the extent required under the Loan Documents or applicable laws; and (i) any other act or omission of the Creditor or the Qualified Borrower which would otherwise constitute or create a legal or equitable defense in favor of a Borrower.
5.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Borrower Guaranty, until the Guaranteed Debt has been paid in full, the Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives all rights it may have at law or in equity (including, without limitation, any law subrogating the Guarantor to the rights of the Creditor) to seek contribution, indemnification, or any other form of reimbursement from the Qualified Borrower, any other guarantor, or any other person now or hereafter primarily or secondarily liable for any obligations of the Qualified Borrower to the Creditor, for any disbursement made by the Guarantor under or in connection with this Borrower Guaranty or otherwise.

If the Qualified Borrower is or shall hereafter be liable to the Creditor for any obligation, indebtedness or liability other than the Guaranteed Debt, and the Creditor should collect or receive any payments, funds or distributions which are not specifically required, by law or agreement, to be applied to the Guaranteed Debt, then the Creditor may, in its sole discretion, apply such payments, funds or distributions to indebtedness of the Qualified Borrower other than the Guaranteed Debt.
7.    This Qualified Borrower Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Debt is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Creditor, upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, or 

J-2

dissolution of the Qualified Borrower or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.
8.    This Qualified Borrower Guaranty has been executed and delivered pursuant to the Credit Agreement and is one of the “Qualified Borrower Guaranties” referred to therein.  
9.    This Qualified Borrower Guaranty may be amended only by a written instrument executed by the Guarantor and the Creditor.

The Gurantor hereby irrevocably consents to the service of process in any suit, action or proceeding in said court by the mailing thereof by the Creditor by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Guarantor’s address listed in the Credit Agreement.  The Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any objections which it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Qualified Borrower Guaranty brought in the courts located in the State of New York, Borough of Manhattan in New York City, and hereby further irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.

Thereafter, upon request, the Creditor shall reasonably provide the Guarantor, at the Guarantor’s sole expense, a written release of its obligations hereunder.

Ladies and Gentlemen: 
In order to induce Lenders to provide the Credit Facility to Borrower, the undersigned hereby acknowledges and agrees as follows:
We have entered into (i) that certain Stockholders Agreement by and among Pledgor, Acadia D.R. Management LLC and the Major Stockholders (as defined therein), dated as of May 16, 2012 (as the same may be further modified, amended, or restated from time to time, the “Stockholders Agreement”; all capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Stockholders Agreement) and (ii) a Subscription Agreement pursuant to which we have (a) purchased shares of stock in Pledgor, which is a member in Borrower and (b) committed to make cash contributions of capital (“Capital Contributions”) to Pledgor on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Stockholders Agreement and our Subscription Agreement in the aggregate amount of $[________] (our “Capital Commitment”), which Capital Contributions are to be contributed by Pledgor to Borrower pursuant to the terms of the Operating Agreement. 
As of the date hereof, $[________]  of our Capital Commitment has been called, $____________ (our “Unfunded Capital Commitment”), of our Capital Commitment remains to

We hereby agree that we shall deliver to Administrative Agent from time to time upon the request of Managing Member, Pledgor or Administrative Agent (i) either (A) our balance sheet as of the end of each fiscal year and the related statements of operations for such fiscal year reported on by our independent public accountants, or, if we have not retained public accountants to report on such statements, certified by an officer, or (B) such other financial statements and information as shall be acceptable to the Managing Member, in either case by the later to occur of (x) the date which is 120 days after the end of our fiscal year, and (y) the date we make such financial information available to our shareholders, directors, stakeholders, principals or lenders or such financial information becomes available to the public and (ii) a certificate setting forth our Unfunded Capital Commitment. 
We hereby acknowledge and agree that under the terms of and subject to the conditions set forth in the Stockholders Agreement, we are and shall remain unconditionally obligated to fund our Unfunded Capital Commitment required on account of calls for Capital Contributions duly made in accordance with the terms of the Stockholders Agreement (including, without limitation, subsequent calls for Capital Contributions made in connection with a shortfall in funds available to Borrower as a result of the failure of any other Stockholder or Managing Member to advance funds with respect to a call for Capital Contributions duly made).  In addition, we hereby acknowledge and confirm to Administrative Agent, Lenders, Managing Member and Pledgor that we will make Capital Contributions to the extent of our Unfunded Capital Commitment, to be applied to the repayment of outstanding obligations under the Credit Agreement, whether such Capital Contributions are called by Managing Member, Pledgor or Administrative Agent for such purpose on behalf of Managing Member and Pledgor (whether or not any Person is then acting as Managing Member for Borrower or Manager for Pledgor) without, defense, counterclaim or offset of any kind, including without limitation any defense under Section 365 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, all of which we hereby waive.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Stockholders Agreement or Operating Agreement, we hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) our obligation to fund our Unfunded Capital Commitment as and when requested by Administrative Agent is unconditional and (ii) Administrative Agent shall not be required to state any specific purpose or use of funds, deliver any supporting documentation whatsoever or comply with any formalities when making a Drawdown on our Unfunded Capital Commitment, except that such Drawdown must be made in writing.
We hereby (i) acknowledge that Borrower, Managing Member and Pledgor, pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement and the Credit Agreement are making a collateral assignment to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders of  (i) our Capital Contributions; and the right to issue Drawdown Notices and call and receive all payments of all or any portion of our Unfunded Capital Commitment under the Stockholders Agreement to secure all loans and other extensions of credit made under the Credit Facility and all other obligations of Borrower under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents  (as defined in the Credit Agreement), (ii) represent that as of the date hereof, (A) to the best of our knowledge there is no default or circumstance which with the passage of time and/or the giving of notice would 

703287387 12410180    K-2






constitute a default under the Operating Agreement or the Stockholders Agreement, (B) the Stockholders Agreement, our Subscription Agreement and this Investor Consent is in full force and effect and enforceable against us in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting creditors rights generally from time to time in effect and to general principles of equity, (C) we have the power and authority required to execute and deliver the Stockholders Agreement, our Subscription Agreement and this Investor Consent, and to perform our obligations thereunder and hereunder, and (D) we do not have any right of offset against, or reduction to, our obligation to fund our Unfunded Capital Commitment, (iii) acknowledge that for so long as the Credit Facility is in place, (A) we will not amend, modify, supplement, cancel, terminate, reduce or suspend any of the provisions of the Stockholders Agreement, our Subscription Agreement or the Operating Agreement relating to the Capital Commitments, the making of Capital Contributions or the incurrence of indebtedness or any other provisions that would adversely affect the rights of Administrative Agent or Lenders without your prior written consent, (B) a transfer of our interest in the Pledgor will require notice to you, and (C) that any claims that we may have against the Pledgor, the Managing Member or any other stockholder shall be subordinate to all payments due to you under the Credit Facility, and (iv) acknowledge that until otherwise instructed by Administrative Agent in writing, all future Capital Contributions made by us under the Stockholders Agreement and our Subscription Agreement will be made by wire transfer to the following account opened and maintained by Borrower with the Administrative Agent (the “Collateral Account”) which Borrower has also pledged as security for the Obligations (as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement):

	Contact Person:
	[_________]




We hereby acknowledge that for so long as the Credit Agreement is in effect, we are obligated, under the terms and subject to the limitations and conditions set forth in the Stockholders Agreement and our Subscription Agreement, to honor any Drawdown Notice delivered to us in the name of the Administrative Agent on behalf of Lenders, without setoff, counterclaim or defense by funding the applicable portion of our Capital Commitment into the Collateral Account, provided such Drawdown Notice is delivered for the purpose of paying due and payable obligations of the Borrower to Lenders under the Credit Facility and states on its face that it is delivered for such purpose. 
We understand that Lenders and Administrative Agent will be relying upon the statements and agreements made herein in connection with making the Credit Facility available to Borrower and, accordingly hereby acknowledge that Capital Contributions we make under the Stockholders Agreement and our Subscription Agreement will not satisfy our obligation to fund our Capital Commitment unless such Capital Contributions are paid into the above account (unless we are otherwise instructed by Administrative Agent as described above).  We hereby acknowledge that the terms of the Credit Agreement and of each other Loan Document (as defined therein) can be 

703287387 12410180    K-3

In addition, we understand that the Credit Agreement and this Investor Consent shall be for the benefit of Administrative Agent, Lenders, and Lenders' successors and assigns, and that this Investor Consent will remain in effect until we are notified jointly by Administrative Agent and Managing Member that the Credit Facility has been terminated. 
We also acknowledge and confirm that (a) we understand that Lenders have not been involved in the organization of Pledgor or offering of Pledgor’s equity interests, or made any representation in connection therewith, (b) we are not relying on Lenders in any way in connection with our investment in Pledgor and (c) Lenders have no obligation to provide us with any financial, tax or other information pertaining to Pledgor or any other Person.
This letter shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. This letter may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.
The undersigned irrevocably (a) agrees that any suit action or other legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this letter may be brought in the courts of the United States of America located in the Southern District of New York or in the state courts of the State and County of New York, (b) consents to the jurisdiction of each such court in any such suit, action or proceeding, (c) waives any objection which it may have to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding in any of such courts and any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding has been brought in an inconvenient forum, (d) consents to the service of any and all process in any such suit, action or proceeding by the service of copies or such process to the undersigned at the address provided on the signature page hereto, as the same may be changed by written notice to the Administrative Agent from time to time.
For governmental entity Investors:
[We represent and warrant that: (i) we are subject to commercial law with respect to our obligations under the Stockholders Agreement and this Investor Consent; (ii) the making and performance of the Stockholders Agreement and this Investor Consent constitute private and commercial acts rather than governmental or public acts, and that neither we nor any of our properties or revenues has any right of immunity from suit, court jurisdiction, execution of a judgment or from any other legal process with respect to our obligations under the Stockholders Agreement and this Investor Consent.
