“Applicable Margin” means, with respect to a particular Type of Loan:
(a)    at any time prior to the Credit Rating Election Date, the percentage set forth below corresponding to the Total Leverage Ratio as determined in accordance with Section 10.1 in effect at such time:
	
				
	Level
	Total Leverage Ratio
	Applicable Margin for Term Loans that are LIBOR Loans

of the last day of the applicable fiscal quarter covered by such Compliance Certificate, (b) in the case of a Compliance Certificate delivered in connection with annual financial statements of the Parent Guarantor delivered pursuant to Section 9.2, as of the date 90 days following the end of the last day of the applicable fiscal year covered by such Compliance Certificate, and (c) in the case of any other Compliance Certificate, as of the date 5 Business Days following the Administrative Agent’s request for such Compliance Certificate.

During any period that the Borrower has received more than two Credit Ratings and such Credit Ratings are not equivalent, the Applicable Margin shall be determined by the highest Credit Rating if they differ by only one Level; provided, if they differ by two or more Levels, then the Applicable Margin will be determined by the average of the highest two Credit Ratings unless the average is not a specified Level, in which case the Applicable Margin will be based on the Level corresponding to the second highest Credit Rating.  During any period after the Credit Rating Election Date for which the Borrower does not have a Credit Rating from either S&P, Moody’s or Fitch, or during any other period not otherwise covered by this definition (e.g., in the event that, after the Credit Rating Election Date, the only Credit Rating is provided by Fitch), the Applicable Margin shall be determined based on Level 5.

Section 2.16    Expansion Option.    
(a)    Expansion Requests.  The Borrower may from time to time elect to enter into one or more additional tranches of term loans (each, an “Incremental Term Loan”), in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 and an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof so long as, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate amount of all such Incremental Term Loans does not exceed $100,000,000 and the total Term Loan Facility amount shall not at any time exceed $200,000,000 in the aggregate.  The Borrower may arrange for any such Incremental Term Loan to be provided by one or more Lenders (each Lender so agreeing to participate in such Incremental Term Loans, an “Increasing Lender”), or by one or more new banks, financial institutions or other entities (each such new bank, financial institution or other entity, an “Augmenting Lender”), to participate in such Incremental Term Loans; provided, that (i) each Augmenting Lender shall be subject to the approval of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and (ii) (A) in the case of an Increasing Lender, the Borrower and such Increasing Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit H, and (B) in the case of an Augmenting Lender, the Borrower and such Augmenting Lender execute an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto.  No consent of any Lender (other than the Lenders participating in such Incremental Term Loan) shall be required for any such increase or Incremental Term Loan pursuant to this Section 2.16.
(b)    Conditions to Effectiveness.  New Incremental Term Loans created pursuant to this Section 2.16 shall become effective on the date agreed by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the relevant Increasing Lenders or Augmenting Lenders, and the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender thereof.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incremental Term Loan shall become effective under this paragraph unless (i) on the date of such election and on the proposed date of the effectiveness of such Incremental Term Loan, both immediately before and immediately after giving effect thereto, (A) no Default or Event of Default exists and (B) the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower and each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party, are true and correct in all material respects (except in the case of a representation or warranty qualified by materiality, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date), and the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate executed by a Responsible Officer certifying the satisfaction of such conditions, and (ii) to the extent requested by the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent shall have received documents (including legal opinions) consistent with those delivered on the Effective Date as to the corporate power and authority of the Borrower to borrow hereunder immediately after giving effect to such Incremental Term Loan and information with respect to any Disqualified Stock that may then be outstanding.

- 39 -

(c)    [Reserved].
(d)    Terms.  The Incremental Term Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the initial Term Loans, (ii) shall not mature earlier than the Maturity Date (but may have amortization prior to such date) and (iii) shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) the initial Term Loans; provided, that (x) the terms and conditions applicable to any Incremental Term Loan maturing after the Maturity Date may provide for material additional or different financial or other covenants or prepayment requirements applicable only during periods after the Maturity Date and (y) the Incremental Term Loans may be priced differently than the initial Term Loans.
(e)    Documentation.  Incremental Term Loans may be made hereunder pursuant to an amendment or restatement (an “Incremental Term Loan Amendment”) of this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Increasing Lender participating in such Incremental Term Loan, if any, each Augmenting Lender participating in such Incremental Term Loan, if any, and the Administrative Agent.  Each Incremental Term Loan Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.16.  Nothing contained in this Section 2.16 shall constitute, or otherwise be deemed to be, a commitment on the part of any Lender to provide Incremental Term Loans, at any time.
Section 2.17    Funds Transfer Disbursements.    
(a)    Generally.  The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of any Loan made by the Lenders or any of their Affiliates pursuant to the Loan Documents as requested by an authorized representative of the Borrower to any of the accounts designated by the Borrower.  The Borrower agrees to be bound by any transfer request: (i) authorized or transmitted by the Borrower; or, (ii) made in the Borrower’s name and accepted by the Administrative Agent in good faith and in compliance with these transfer instructions, even if not properly authorized by the Borrower.  The Borrower further agrees and acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may rely solely on any bank routing number or identifying bank account number or name provided by the Borrower to effect a wire of funds transfer.  The Administrative Agent is not obligated or required in any way to take any actions to detect errors in information provided by the Borrower.  If the Administrative Agent takes any actions in an attempt to detect errors in the transmission or content of transfer requests or takes any actions in an attempt to detect unauthorized funds transfer requests, the Borrower agrees that no matter how many times the Administrative Agent takes these actions the Administrative Agent will not in any situation be liable for failing to take or correctly perform these actions in the future and such actions shall not become any part of the transfer disbursement procedures authorized under this provision, the Loan Documents, or any agreement between the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.  The Borrower agrees to notify the Administrative Agent of any errors in the transfer of any funds or of any unauthorized or improperly authorized transfer requests within fourteen (14) days after the Administrative Agent’s confirmation to the Borrower of such transfer.

- 40 -

(b)    Funds Transfer.  The Administrative Agent will, in its sole discretion, determine the funds transfer system and the means by which each transfer will be made.  The Administrative Agent may delay or refuse to accept a funds transfer request if the transfer would: (i) violate the terms of this authorization; (ii) require the use of a bank unacceptable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender or prohibited by any Governmental Authority; (iii) cause the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in their reasonable judgment, to violate any regulatory risk control program or guideline promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other similar program or guideline; or (iv) otherwise cause the Administrative Agent or any Lender to violate any Applicable Law.
(c)    Limitation of Liability.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall be liable to the Borrower or any other parties for (i) errors, acts or failures to act of others, including other entities, banks, communications carriers or clearinghouses, through which the Borrower’s transfers may be made or information received or transmitted, and no such entity shall be deemed an agent of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, (ii) any loss, liability or delay caused by fires, earthquakes, wars, civil disturbances, power surges or failures, acts of government, labor disputes, failures in communications networks, legal constraints or other events beyond Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s control, or (iii) any special, consequential, indirect or punitive damages, whether or not (x) any claim for these damages is based on tort or contract or (y) the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower knew or should have known the likelihood of these damages in any situation; provided, however, that, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be liable to the extent any of the above were the result of the Administrative Agent’s or Lenders’ gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender makes any representations or warranties other than those expressly made in this Agreement.
ARTICLE III. 
PAYMENTS, FEES AND OTHER GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 3.1    Payments.    
(a)    Payments by the Borrower.  Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by the Borrower or any other Loan Party under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to the Administrative Agent at its Principal Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day).  Subject to Section 11.4, the Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, specify to the Administrative Agent the amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied.  Each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be paid to such Lender by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the account of such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender.  If the Administrative Agent fails to pay such amounts to such Lender, within one Business 

- 41 -

Day of receipt of such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall pay interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in effect.  If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable for the period of such extension.
(b)    Presumptions Regarding Payments by Borrower.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand that amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Effective Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.
Section 3.2    Pro Rata Treatment.    
Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from the Lenders under Section 2.2(a) shall be made from such Lenders, each payment of the Fees under Section 3.6(a) shall be made for the account of the applicable Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Commitments under Section 2.12 shall be applied to the respective Commitments of the Lenders, in each case pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of Term Loans by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Term Loan Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Term Loans held by them; (c) each payment of interest on Term Loans by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Term Loan Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on the Term Loans then due and payable to the Term Loan Lenders; and (d) the Conversion and Continuation of Term Loans of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Section 4.6) shall be made pro rata among the applicable Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Term Loans, as applicable, and the then current Interest Period for each applicable Lender’s portion of each such Loan of such Type shall be coterminous.
Section 3.3    Sharing of Payments, Etc.    
If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan made by it to the Borrower under this Agreement, or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by any Loan Party through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by any Loan Party to a Lender not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (other than any payment in respect of Specified Derivatives Obligations) and such payment should be distributed to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2 or Section 11.4, as applicable, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by 

- 42 -

such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans made by the other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the applicable Lenders shall, subject to Section 3.11 if applicable, share the benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2 or Section 11.4, as applicable.  To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored.  The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation.  Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower.
Section 3.4    Several Obligations.    
No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.
Section 3.5    Minimum Amounts.    
(a)    Borrowings and Conversions.  Each borrowing of Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof.  Each borrowing, Conversion and Continuation of LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount.
(b)    Prepayments.  Each voluntary prepayment of Term Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans then outstanding).
(c)    Reductions of Commitments.  Each reduction of the Commitments under Section 2.12 shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof.
Section 3.6    Fees.    
(a)    Unused Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders an unused facility fee equal to (i) the average daily amount by which the aggregate Term Loan Commitments exceed the principal amount of the aggregate outstanding Term Loans, multiplied by (ii) 0.25%.  Such fee shall be nonrefundable, computed quarterly in arrears based on such actual daily amount, and payable in arrears on (x) the first Business Day of 

- 43 -

each calendar quarter, (y) the Term Loan Maturity Date and (z) on the last day of the Availability Period for the Term Loan Facility.
(b)    [Reserved].
(c)    [Reserved].
(d)    [Reserved].
(e)    Fee Letter.  The Borrower agrees to pay the fees set forth in the Fee Letters, in the amounts, to the Persons and for the account of the Persons identified therein.
Section 3.7    Computations.    
Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan, any Fees or any other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed; provided, however, interest on Base Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and the actual number of days elapsed.
Section 3.8    Usury.    
In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by any Loan Party or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that the Borrower or other Loan Party elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith.  It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrower not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law.
Section 3.9    Agreement Regarding Interest and Charges.    
The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in Sections 2.5(a)(i) and (ii).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, unused fees, closing fees, underwriting fees, default charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in each case in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, are charges made to compensate the Administrative Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money.  All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.

- 44 -

Section 3.10    Statements of Account.    
The Administrative Agent will endeavor to account to the Borrower monthly with a statement of Loans, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon the Borrower absent manifest error, provided that the failure of the Administrative Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge the Borrower from any of their obligations hereunder.
Section 3.11    Defaulting Lenders.    
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:
(a)    Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Requisite Lenders.
(b)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall.  Any payment of principal, interest, Fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article XI or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.3 shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows:  first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; third, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fourth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement; fifth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Administrative Agent as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Administrative Agent against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; sixth, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and seventh, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(c)    Certain Fees.
(i)    No Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive any Fee payable under Section 3.6(a), for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender 

- 45 -

(and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender).
(ii)    [Reserved].
(iii)    With respect to any Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding clause (i), the Borrower shall (x) pay to the Administrative Agent the amount of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Defaulting Lender, and (y) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such Fee.
(d)    [Reserved].
(e)    [Reserved].
(f)    Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower and the Administrative Agent agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans to be held pro rata by the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(g)    [Reserved].
(h)    Purchase of Defaulting Lender’s Commitment and Loans.  During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, by giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitment and Loans to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.5(b).  No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee.  In addition, any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire the face amount of all or a portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment and Loans via an assignment subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.5(b).  In connection with any such assignment, such Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and, notwithstanding Section 13.5(b), shall pay to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $3,500.  The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders.

- 46 -

Section 3.12    Taxes; Lenders.    
(a)    Taxes Generally.  All payments by the Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other Obligations shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future excise, stamp or other taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding (i) franchise taxes, (ii) any taxes that would not be imposed but for a connection between the Administrative Agent or a Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such taxes (other than a connection arising solely by virtue of the activities of the Administrative Agent or such Lender pursuant to or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document), (iii) any taxes imposed on or measured by any Lender’s assets, taxable income, receipts or branch profits, (iv) any taxes the Administrative Agent or a Lender is subject to at the time it becomes a party to this Agreement, (v) any taxes arising after the Agreement Date solely as a result of or attributable to a Lender changing its designated Lending Office after the date such Lender becomes a party hereto, (vi) any taxes imposed by Sections 1471 through Section 1474 of the Internal Revenue Code (including any official interpretations thereof, collectively “FATCA”) on any “withholdable payment” payable to a recipient as a result of the failure of such recipient to satisfy the applicable requirements as set forth in FATCA after the Agreement Date, and (vii) any taxes imposed as a result of a failure by the Administrative Agent or a Lender to comply with Section 3.12(c) (such non-excluded items being collectively called “Taxes”).  If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any Applicable Law, then the Borrower will:
(i)    pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;
(ii)    promptly forward to the Administrative Agent an official receipt or other documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority; and
(iii)    pay to the Administrative Agent for its account or the account of the applicable Lender such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Administrative Agent or such Lender will equal the full amount that the Administrative Agent or such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction of Taxes been required.
(b)    Tax Indemnification.  If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent, for its account or the account of the respective Lender, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties thereon that may become payable by the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure.  For purposes of this Section, a distribution hereunder by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower.

- 47 -

(c)    Tax Forms.  Prior to the date that any Lender becomes a party hereto, such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Internal Revenue Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto (including Internal Revenue Service Forms W-9, W-8ECI, W-8BEN-E and W- 8EXP, as applicable, or appropriate successor forms), properly completed, currently effective and duly executed by such Lender establishing that payments to it hereunder and under the Term Notes are (i) not subject to United States Federal backup withholding tax and (ii) not subject to United States Federal withholding tax imposed under the Internal Revenue Code.  Each such Lender shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, (x) deliver further copies of such forms or other appropriate certifications on or before the date that any such forms expire or become obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form delivered to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent and (y) obtain such extensions of the time for filing, and renew such forms and certifications thereof, as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent.  The Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount pursuant to the last sentence of subsection (a) above to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, if such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, fails to comply with the requirements of this subsection.  If any such Lender, to the extent it may lawfully do so, fails to deliver the above forms or other documentation, then the Administrative Agent may withhold from any payments to such Lender under any of the Loan Documents such amounts as are required by the Internal Revenue Code.  If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Administrative Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including all reasonable fees and disbursements of any law firm or other external counsel and the allocated cost of internal legal services and all disbursements of internal counsel) of the Administrative Agent.  The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments, repayment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent.
(d)    FATCA Forms.  If a payment made to a Lender 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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  The Administrative Agent shall deliver the comparable information about its own status to the Borrower at such times.
(e)    Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section 3.12 (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this 

- 48 -

subsection (e)), 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 request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this subsection (e) (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 subsection (e), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this subsection (e) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had never been owed or 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.
(f)    USA Patriot Act Notice; Compliance.  In order for the Administrative Agent to comply with the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56), prior to any Lender or Participant that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America becoming a party hereto, the Administrative Agent may request, and such Lender or Participant shall provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with federal law.
ARTICLE IV. 
YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.
Section 4.1    Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.    
(a)    Capital Adequacy.  If any Lender or any Participant determines that compliance with any Regulatory Change affects or would affect the amount of capital or liquidity required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or such Participant, or any corporation Controlling such Lender or such Participant, as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s or such Participant’s or such corporation’s Commitments or its making or maintaining Loans below the rate which such Lender or such Participant or such corporation Controlling such Lender or such Participant could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into account the policies of such Lender or such Participant or such corporation with regard to capital and liquidity), then the Borrower shall, from time to time, within thirty (30) calendar days after written demand by such Lender or such Participant, pay to such Lender or such Participant additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such Participant or such corporation Controlling such Lender or such Participant to the extent that such Lender or such Participant determines such increase in capital is allocable to such Lender’s or such Participant’s obligations hereunder.  Any Participant’s right to receive compensation pursuant to this subsection (a) is limited by the terms of Sections 13.5(d) and (e).

(b)    Additional Costs.  In addition to, and not in limitation of the immediately preceding subsection (a), the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each affected Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable to its making, continuing, converting to or maintaining of any LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its Loans or its Commitments (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), to the extent resulting from any Regulatory Change that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or its Commitments (other than taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges which are excluded from the definition of Taxes pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.12(a) and Taxes indemnified under Section 3.12 to the extent the Borrower (or any Person for the account or on behalf of the Borrower) has actually paid such indemnified amounts); or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (other than Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other reserve requirement to the extent utilized in the determination of LIBOR for such Loan) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender, or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder); or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy).
(c)    Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans.  Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsections (a) and (b), if, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes LIBOR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert any other Type of Loans into, LIBOR Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 4.6 shall apply).
(d)    [Reserved].
(e)    Notification and Determination of Additional Costs.  Each of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and each Participant (through its participating Lender), as the case may be, agrees to notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling the Administrative Agent or such Lender or such Participant to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, the failure of the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any Participant (through its participating 

- 50 -

Lender) to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of their obligations hereunder.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall not be required to compensate the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Participant pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more than six months prior to the date that the Administrative Agent or such Lender or such Participant (through its participating Lender) notifies the Borrower of the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increases costs or reductions and of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s or such Participant’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Regulatory Change giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).  The Administrative Agent or such Lender or such Participant (through its participating Lender) agrees to furnish to the Borrower (and in the case of a Lender or a Participant, to the Administrative Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and amount of each request by the Administrative Agent or such Lender for compensation under this Section.  Absent manifest error, determinations by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any Participant of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.
Section 4.2    Suspension of LIBOR Loans.    
Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of LIBOR for any Interest Period:
(a)    the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, or
(b)    the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR Loans for an Interest Period is to be determined are not likely to adequately cover the cost to the Requisite Lenders of making or maintaining such LIBOR Loans;
then the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional LIBOR Loans, Continue LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans and the Borrower shall, on the last day of each current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, either repay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.
Section 4.3    Illegality.    
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it has become unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans 

- 51 -

shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 4.6 shall be applicable).
Section 4.4    Compensation.    
The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, within 15 days after the Borrower receives a request for such payment accompanied by the certificate described in the final paragraph of this Section, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense that such Lender reasonably determines is attributable to:
(a)    any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Loan or Conversion of a LIBOR Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or
(b)    any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Article VI to be satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Loan from such Lender on the requested date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or Continue a LIBOR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.
Not in limitation of the foregoing, such compensation shall include, without limitation, an amount equal to the then present value of (a) the amount of interest that would have accrued on such LIBOR Loan for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loan, less (b) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same LIBOR Loan or for the same period if LIBOR were set on the date on which such LIBOR Loan was repaid, prepaid or Converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, Convert or Continue such LIBOR Loan, calculating present value by using as a discount rate LIBOR quoted on such date.  Any Lender requesting compensation under this Section shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof.  Absent manifest error, determinations by any Lender in any such statement shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.
Section 4.5    Affected Lenders and Non-Consenting Lenders.    
If (a) a Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.12 or 4.1, and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same, or (b) the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1(c) or 4.3 but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended under such Sections, or (c) a Lender is a Non-Consenting Lender, then, so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, the Borrower may demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Loans to an Eligible Assignee (who, in the case of an assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, shall have consented to the applicable amendment, waiver or consent) subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.5(b) for a purchase price equal to the aggregate principal balance of all Loans then owing to the Affected Lender plus any accrued 

- 52 -

but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by such Affected Lender and Eligible Assignee.  Each of the Administrative Agent and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section, but at no time shall the Administrative Agent, such Affected Lender nor any other Lender be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee.  The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders.  The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to Section 3.12 or 4.1 with respect to periods up to the date of replacement.
Section 4.6    Treatment of Affected Loans.    
If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1(c) or 4.3, then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 4.1(c) or 4.3, on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Administrative Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1 or 4.3 that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:
(a)    to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
(b)    all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.
If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1 or 4.3 that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Commitments.
Section 4.7    Change of Lending Office.    
Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Section 3.12, 4.1 or 4.3 to reduce the liability of the Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not 

- 53 -

disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.
Section 4.8    Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans.    
Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Article IV shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded LIBOR Loans through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loans in an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loans and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article IV.

Section 7.9    Litigation.    
There are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending (nor, to the knowledge of any Knowledgeable Officer of any Loan Party, are there any actions, suits or proceedings threatened) against or in any other way relating adversely to or affecting NSA REIT or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any other Governmental Authority which could, either individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section 7.10    Taxes.    
All federal, state and other tax returns of NSA REIT or any of its Subsidiaries required by Applicable Law to be filed have been duly filed, and all federal, state and other taxes, assessments and other governmental charges or levies upon NSA REIT and its Subsidiaries and their respective properties, income, profits and assets which are due and payable have been paid, except any such nonpayment which is at the time permitted under Section 8.6.

- 60 -

audited consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for the fiscal year ended on such date, with the unqualified opinion thereon of independent certified public accountants of recognized national standing.  All such financial statements (including in each case related schedules and notes) present fairly, in all material respects and in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved, the consolidated financial position of NSA REIT and its Subsidiaries as at their respective dates and the results of operations and the cash flow for such periods.  The unaudited consolidated balance sheets of NSA REIT and its Subsidiaries dated March 31, 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and shareholders’ equity for the fiscal quarter ended on that date (i) were prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period covered thereby, except as otherwise expressly noted therein, and (ii) fairly present the financial condition of NSA REIT and its Subsidiaries as of the date thereof and their results of operations, cash flows and changes in shareholders’ equity for the period covered thereby, subject, in the case of clauses (i) and (ii), to the absence of footnotes and to normal year-end audit adjustments.  Neither NSA REIT nor any of its Subsidiaries has on the Agreement Date any material contingent liabilities, liabilities, liabilities for taxes, unusual or long-term commitments or unrealized or forward anticipated losses from any unfavorable commitments that would be required to be set forth in its financial statements or in the notes thereto, except as referred to or reflected or provided for in said financial statements.

Since December 31, 2015, there has been no material adverse change in the business, assets, operations or condition (financial or otherwise) of any Loan Party.  Each of the Loan Parties is Solvent.

Each Loan Party has received reasonably equivalent value in exchange for the obligations incurred by it under the Loan Documents to which it is a party.
Section 7.13    ERISA.    
(a)    Each Plan is in compliance in all material respects with the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code and other Applicable Laws.

If any other Event of Default shall exist, the Administrative Agent may, and at the direction of the Requisite Lenders shall: (A) declare (1) the principal of, and accrued interest on, the Loans and the Term Notes at the time outstanding, and (2) all of the other Obligations (other than obligations in respect of Derivatives Contracts), including, but not limited to, the other amounts owed to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Term Notes or any of the other Loan Documents to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall immediately become due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by the Borrower and (B) terminate the Commitments, and the obligation of the Lenders to make Loans hereunder.  Moreover, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, so long as any Default or Event of Default exists, Lenders shall have no obligation to make any Loans hereunder.

- 85 -

(e)    Specified Derivatives Contract Remedies.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or other Loan Document, each Specified Derivatives Provider shall have the right, with prompt notice to the Administrative Agent, but without the approval or consent of or other action by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, and without limitation of other remedies available to such Specified Derivatives Provider under contract or Applicable Law, to undertake any of the following: (i) to declare an event of default, termination event or other similar event under any Specified Derivatives Contract and to create an “Early Termination Date” (as defined therein) in respect thereof, (ii) to determine net termination amounts in respect of any and all Specified Derivatives Contracts in accordance with the terms thereof, and to set off amounts among such contracts, and (iii) to prosecute any legal action against any Loan Party to enforce or collect net amounts owing to such Specified Derivatives Provider by any such Person pursuant to any Specified Derivatives Contract.
Section 11.3    Marshaling; Payments Set Aside.    
None of the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Specified Derivatives Provider shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations or the Specified Derivatives Obligations.  To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Specified Derivatives Provider, or the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Specified Derivatives Provider enforces any Lien or exercises any of its rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law or other Applicable Law, then to the extent of such recovery, the Obligations or Specified Derivatives Obligations, or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
Section 11.4    Allocation of Proceeds.    
If an Event of Default shall exist and maturity of any of the Obligations has been accelerated, or if an Event of Default specified in Section 11.1(a) and/or (b) shall exist, any amounts received on account of the Obligations or the Specified Derivatives Obligations shall be applied in the following order and priority:
(a)    that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (including fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent) payable to the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as administrative agent);
(b)    that portion of the Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders and the Administrative Agent;
(c)    [reserved];

- 86 -

(d)    interest on all other Loans, pro rata in the amount then due each Lender;
(e)    [reserved];
(f)    payments of principal of all other Loans, and all Specified Derivatives Obligations then owing, pro rata in the amount then due each Lender and Specified Derivatives Provider;
(g)    payment of all other Obligations and other amounts due and owing by the Loan Parties under any of the Loan Documents, if any, to be applied for the ratable benefit of the Lenders; and
(h)    any amount remaining after application as provided above, shall be paid to the Borrower or whomever else may be legally entitled thereto.
In no event shall the Administrative Agent apply any amounts so received, or any proceeds of Collateral, to the payment of Specified Derivatives Obligations if and to the extent that, with respect to the Loan Party making such payment, or owning such Collateral, such Specified Derivatives Obligations constitute Excluded Swap Obligations.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Specified Derivatives Obligations shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Specified Derivatives Provider.  Each Specified Derivatives Provider not a party to the Credit Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article XII hereof for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.
Section 11.5    [Reserved].    
Section 11.6    Performance by Administrative Agent.    
If any Loan Party shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent may, after notice to the Borrower, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of such Loan Party after the expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein.  In such event, the Borrower shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by the Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for the performance of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.
Section 11.7    Rights Cumulative.    
The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, each of the other Loan Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies 

- 87 -

which any of them may otherwise have under Applicable Law.  In exercising their respective rights and remedies the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may be selective and no failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.
ARTICLE XII. 
THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
Section 12.1    Authorization and Action.    
Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
The Administrative Agent shall also act as “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents, and each of the Lenders hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of the Loan Parties to secure any of the Obligations, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental thereto.  In this connection, the Administrative Agent, as “collateral agent” and any co-agents, sub-agents and attorneys-in-fact appointed by the Administrative Agent for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights and remedies thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent, shall be entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Article XII and Article XIII (as though such co-agents, sub- agents and attorneys-in-fact were the “collateral agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect thereto.
Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders.  Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders.  Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Administrative Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law.  Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.  At the request of a Lender, the Administrative Agent will forward to such Lender copies or, where appropriate, originals of the documents delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.  The Administrative Agent will also furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy of any certificate or notice furnished 

- 88 -

to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document.  As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law.  Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise.  Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders.
Section 12.2    Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc.    
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (a) may treat the payee of any Term Note as the holder thereof until the Administrative Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for any Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person and shall not be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statements, warranties or representations made by any Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons (except for the delivery to it of any certificate or document specifically required to be delivered to it pursuant to Section 6.1) or inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any other Person; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Administrative 

- 89 -

Agent on behalf of the Lenders in any such collateral; and (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy, or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties.  The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact.  Unless set forth in writing to the contrary, the making of its initial Loan by a Lender shall constitute a certification by such Lender to the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders that the Borrower has satisfied the conditions precedent for initial Loans set forth in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 that have not previously been waived by the Requisite Lenders.
Section 12.3    Notice of Defaults.    
The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or a Loan Party referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such a “notice of default.” Further, if the Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default”, the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.
Section 12.4    Administrative Agent as Lender.    
The Lender acting as Administrative Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent in each case in its individual capacity.  Such Lender and its Affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.  Further, such Lender and any Affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement, any Specified Derivatives Contract or otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.  The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Lender acting as Administrative Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Loan Parties, other Subsidiaries of the Loan Parties and other Affiliates thereof (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.
Section 12.5    [Reserved].    
Section 12.6    Lender Credit Decision, Etc.    
Each Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates has 

- 90 -

made any representations or warranties as to the financial condition, operations, creditworthiness, solvency or other information concerning the business or affairs of the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any Subsidiary or any other Person to such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Lender.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on the financial statements of the Borrower, the Subsidiaries or any other Affiliate thereof, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents.  The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person.  Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent, or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates.  Each Lender acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to such Lender.
Section 12.7    Indemnification of Administrative Agent.    
Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Commitment Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, reasonable out-of- pocket costs and expenses, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of 

- 91 -

competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment or if the Administrative Agent fails to follow the written direction of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if expressly required hereunder) unless such failure results from the Administrative Agent following the advice of counsel to the Administrative Agent of which advice the Lenders have received notice.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing but subject to the preceding proviso, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees of the counsel(s) of the Administrative Agent’s own choosing) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent, and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws.  Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement.  If the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.
Section 12.8    Resignation or Removal of Administrative Agent.    
(a)    The Administrative Agent may at any time give notice of its resignation to the Lenders and the Borrower.  Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the Borrower, to appoint a successor.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation (or such earlier day as shall be agreed by the Requisite Lenders) (the “Resignation Effective Date”), then the retiring Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above.  Whether or not a successor has been appointed, such resignation shall become effective in accordance with such notice on the Resignation Effective Date.
(b)    If the Person serving as Administrative Agent is a Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (d) of the definition thereof, the Requisite Lenders (excluding for this purpose the Lender that is the Administrative Agent) may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, by notice in writing to the Borrower and such Person (a “Removal Notice”) remove such Person as Administrative Agent and, in consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor.  If no such successor shall have been so appointed by the Requisite Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 50 

- 92 -

days (the “Removal Effective Date”), then such removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice on the Removal Effective Date.
(c)    With effect from the Resignation Effective Date or the Removal Effective Date (as applicable) (1) the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders under any of the Loan Documents, the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) except for any indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent, all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made by or to each Lender directly, until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above.  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Administrative Agent (other than any rights to indemnity payments owed to the retiring or removed Administrative Agent), and the retiring or removed Administrative Agent shall be discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents.  The fees payable by the Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor.  After the retiring or removed Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article and Sections 13.2 and 13.10 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring or removed Administrative Agent, its sub-agents and their respective related Indemnified Parties in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring or removed Administrative Agent was acting as Administrative Agent.
Section 12.9    Titled Agent.    
The Titled Agents, in such capacities, assume no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, or for any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders.  The titles of “Lead Arranger” and “Bookrunner” and “Syndication Agent” are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or any Lender and the use of such title does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.
Section 12.10    Collateral Matters.
Each of the Lenders irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to take any of the following actions:
(a)    to release any Lien on any property granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations), (ii) if, with respect to any such release of a Lien on the Equity Interests of a Subsidiary Guarantor, such Subsidiary Guarantor has ceased to be a Subsidiary Guarantor and has been released from its Obligations under the Loan 

- 93 -

Documents pursuant to Sections 8.13 or 8.14, (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing in accordance with Section 13.6, or (iv) in connection with the Collateral Fallaway;
(b)    to subordinate any Lien on any property (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, any Collateral) granted to or held by the Administrative Agent under any Loan Document to the holder of any Lien on such property, to the extent such holder is permitted by Section 10.3 to have a more senior Lien; and
(c)    to enter into the Pari Passu Intercreditor Agreement or any other collateral agency agreement, a collateral sharing agreement or a similar agreement satisfactory to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 10.6(a)(iv) with the agent for the holders of Unsecured Indebtedness to provide for the pari passu nature of such Liens and the Liens of the Administrative Agent and to cover such other matters as the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable in order to effectuate the provisions of Section 10.6(a)(iv).
Upon request by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Requisite Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release or subordinate its interest in particular types or items of property pursuant to this Section 12.10.  In each case as specified in this Section 12.10, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to the applicable Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents or to subordinate its interest in such item, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents and this Section 12.10.
Section 12.11 Rights of Specified Derivatives Providers.
No Specified Derivatives Provider that obtains the benefits of Section 11.4, the Guaranty, or any Collateral by virtue of the provisions hereof or of the Guaranty or any Collateral Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of the Collateral (including the release or impairment of any Collateral) other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article XII to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Specified Derivatives Obligations unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Specified Derivatives Obligations, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Specified Derivatives Provider.  The Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Specified Derivatives Obligations as a condition to releasing Liens pursuant to Section 12.10(a).

The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of its reasonable and documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, any of the Loan Documents (including due diligence expenses and travel expenses relating to closing), and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of outside counsel to the Administrative Agent and costs and expenses in connection with the use of IntraLinks, Inc., SyndTrak or other similar information transmission systems in connection with the Loan Documents, (b) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Lenders for all their reasonable and documented costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under the Loan Documents, including the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of their respective counsel and any payments in indemnification or otherwise payable by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents, (c) to pay, and indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any failure to pay or delay in paying, documentary, stamp, excise and other similar taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of any of the Loan Documents, or consummation of any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, any Loan Document and (d) to the extent not already covered by any of the preceding subsections, to pay the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and any Lender incurred in connection with the representation of the Administrative Agent or such Lender in any matter relating to or arising out of any bankruptcy or other proceeding of the type described in Section 11.1(f) or 11.1(g), including, without limitation (i) any motion for relief from any stay or similar order, (ii) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any document relating to the Obligations and (iii) the negotiation and preparation of any debtor-in-possession financing or any plan of reorganization of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, whether proposed by the Borrower, such other Loan Party, the Lenders or any other Person, and whether such fees and expenses are incurred prior to, during or after the commencement of such proceeding or the confirmation or conclusion of any such proceeding.  If the Borrower shall fail to pay any amounts required to be paid by it pursuant to this Section within 15 days after invoiced or demand therefor, the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders may pay such amounts on behalf of the Borrower and either deem the same to be Loans outstanding hereunder or otherwise Obligations owing hereunder.

(a)    EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF SUCH PARTIES WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES.  ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE TERM NOTES, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.
(b)    EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY AGREES THAT ANY FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT AND ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK, IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARTIES HERETO, PERTAINING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOANS, THE TERM NOTES OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING HEREFROM OR THEREFROM.

- 97 -

PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY ANY PARTY OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY ANY PARTY OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

Section 13.5    Successors and Assigns.    
(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 no Loan 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 subsection (b) below, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of subsection (d) below or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of subsection (e) below (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 subsection (d) below and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Affiliates and the partners, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and of their respective Affiliates) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b)    Assignments by Lenders.  Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitments and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i)    Minimum Amounts.
(A)    in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Commitment and/or the Loans at the time owing to it, or contemporaneous assignments to related Approved Funds that equal at least the amount specified in subsection (b)(i)(B) below in the aggregate, or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B)    in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) above, the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Commitment is not then in effect, the outstanding principal balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject 

- 98 -

to each such assignment (determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $1,000,000, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(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 Commitment assigned.
(iii)    Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) above and, in addition:
(A)    the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or Event of Default shall exist at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided, that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five Business Days after having received notice thereof; and
(B)    the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of any Term Loans to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.
(iv)    Assignment and Acceptance Agreements.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, together with a processing and recordation fee of $3,500; provided, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any assignment.  The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(v)    No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to (A) any Loan Party or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing persons described in this clause (B).
(vi)    No Assignment to Natural Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

- 99 -

(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 Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (A) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, and each Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (B) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans.  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 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.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c) below, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, 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 Acceptance Agreement, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 4.4, 13.2 and 13.10 and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in Section 13.11 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 subsection (d) below.
(c)    Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Principal Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, 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 

- 100 -

shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)    Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent (but with notice to the Administrative Agent), sell participations to any Person (other than to a natural person or to a Loan Party or its 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 Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (x) increase such Lender’s Commitment, (y) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender or (z) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon.  The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.12, 4.1, 4.4 (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.12 (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.12 shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were the Lender it purchased such participation from and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) above; provided, that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Sections 4.5 and 4.7 as if it were an assignee under subsection (b) above; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Section 3.12 or 4.1, with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Regulatory Change that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and the expense of the Borrower, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 4.5 with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.3 as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.3 as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person other than the Administrative Agent 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 

- 101 -

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.
(e)    Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
Section 13.6    Amendments.    
(a)    Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement (including as provided in Section 2.16 with respect to an Incremental Term Loan Amendment), any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document (other than the Fee Letters) to be given by the Lenders may be given, and any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document may be amended, and the performance or observance by any Loan Party of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document or the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Requisite Lenders (or the Administrative Agent at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders) and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party that is a party thereto.  Any term of the Fee Letters may be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower of any terms of the Fee Letter may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the parties thereto.
(b)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, no amendment (including any Incremental Term Loan Amendment), waiver or consent shall do any of the following:
(i)    extend or increase the Commitments of any Lender, without the prior written consent of such Lender;
(ii)    reduce the principal of, or the rates of interest that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of, any Loans or other Obligations, or any fees or other amounts payable under any Loan Document, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby; provided, however, that only the consent of the Requisite Lenders shall be necessary (A) to amend the definition of “Post-Default Rate” or to waive any obligation of the Borrower to pay interest at the Post- Default Rate or any charge pursuant to Section 2.5(d) or (B) to amend any financial covenant hereunder (or any defined term used therein) even if the effect of such amendment would be to reduce the rate of interest on any Loan or other Obligation or to reduce any fee payable hereunder;

- 102 -

(iii)    modify the definition of the term “Maturity Date” or otherwise postpone any date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loans or any other Obligations or any fee or other amount payable under any Loan Document (including the waiver of any Default or Event of Default as a result of the nonpayment of any such Obligations as and when due), in each case without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby;
(iv)    amend or otherwise modify the provisions of Section 3.2 or the definition of the term “Commitment Percentage”, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby;
(v)    modify the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” or otherwise modify in any other manner the number or percentage of the Lenders required to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof, including without limitation, any modification of this Section 13.6 if such modification would have such effect, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby (it being understood that, solely with the consent of the parties to an Incremental Term Loan Amendment, Incremental Term Loans may be included in the determination of Requisite Lenders on substantially the same basis as the Commitments and the Loans are included on the Effective Date);
(vi)    release the Parent Guarantor from its obligations under the Parent Guaranty, or release all or substantially all of the Subsidiaries under the Subsidiary Guaranty or of the value thereunder, without the prior written consent of each Lender; or
(vii)    release all or substantially all of the Collateral in any transaction or series of related transactions (except in connection with the Collateral Fallaway), or modify Section 13.9 in a manner that makes the conditions to effectiveness of the Collateral Fallaway more favorable to the Loan Parties, in each case without the prior written consent of each Lender.
(c)    No amendment, waiver or consent, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, in such capacity, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.  Any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to any Loan Document that (i) diminishes the rights of a Specified Derivatives Provider in a manner or to an extent dissimilar to that affecting the Lenders or (ii) increases the liabilities or obligations of a Specified Derivatives Provider shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the consent of the Lender that is (or having an Affiliate that is) such Specified Derivatives Provider.
(d)    No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein.  No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto.  Any Event of Default occurring 

- 103 -

hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default.  Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
(e)    In the event that there is (x) a written approval or consent by the “Requisite Lenders” (as defined in the Revolver Credit Agreement) whereby any Real Estate Asset is deemed an Eligible Unencumbered Property which does not meet one or more of the criteria for inclusion therein as set forth in the Revolver Credit Agreement, or (y) a written amendment or consent or approval effectuated under the Revolver Credit Agreement, any Revolver Credit Agreement provisions which are substantially the same terms with respect to the NSA REIT, Borrower and their Subsidiaries as those contained in the corresponding provisions in respect of such matters contained in this Agreement (the “Revolver Credit Agreement Provisions”) (which may include a written waiver of an existing actual or potential default or event of default that is intended to be eliminated by such waiver) (each of the foregoing in clauses (x) and (y), a “Proposed Modification”), then (A) any Lender shall be deemed to have automatically approved the Proposed Modification hereunder of any corresponding Revolver Credit Agreement Provisions contained in this Agreement for purposes of determining if the requisite approvals hereunder have been obtained if (and only if) such Lender or an affiliate of such Lender approved the Proposed Modification under the Revolver Credit Agreement in its capacity as a Lender under the Revolver Credit Agreement and (B) in the case that the Lenders under this Agreement described in clause (A) above constitute the Requisite Lenders under this Agreement, then simultaneously with the agreement to or granting of such Proposed Modification under the Revolver Credit Agreement, this Agreement shall be deemed modified or restated, or such waiver, consent or approval granted, in a manner consistent with the Proposed Modifications under the Revolver Credit Agreement, unless such modification, restatement, waiver, consent or approval requires the consent of each Lender or each Lender directly and/or adversely affected thereby under the terms of this Agreement.  In the event any financial covenants (including any associated definitions) set forth in the Revolver Credit Agreement or any amendment, modification, supplement, restatement or replacement thereof, shall be implemented or amended to be more restrictive on the Borrower than the financial covenants set forth above with respect to this Agreement, the applicable covenant(s) set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall automatically be deemed to be amended to conform to the modified covenant(s) in the Revolver Credit Agreement, unless the Requisite Lenders otherwise agree in their sole discretion.  If requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, the Borrower, NSA REIT, the Administrative Agent and each approving Lender (including any Lender deemed to have approved as described above) shall execute and deliver a written amendment to, restatement of, or waiver, consent or approval under, this Agreement memorializing such modification, restatement, waiver, consent or approval.
Section 13.7    Nonliability of Administrative Agent and Lenders.    
The relationship between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender.  Neither the 

- 104 -

Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower or any other Loan Party and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Lender, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business or operations.  In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that (a) the credit facilities provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrower, each other Loan Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand; (b) neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has assumed or will assume any advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower or any other Loan Party with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading hereto (irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates has advised or is currently advising the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates on other matters) and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship.
Section 13.8    Confidentiality.    
The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall use reasonable efforts to assure that information about NSA REIT and its Subsidiaries, and the respective properties thereof and their operations, affairs and financial condition, not generally disclosed to the public, which is furnished to the Administrative Agent or any Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, is used only for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall not be divulged to any Person other than the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, and their respective agents who are actively and directly participating in the evaluation, administration or enforcement of the Loan Documents and other transactions between the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, and the Borrower, but in any event the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may make disclosure: (a) to any of their respective Affiliates and to any of their (and their Affiliates’) respective directors, officers, agents, employees, advisors and counsel (provided such Persons shall be informed of the confidential nature of such information and be instructed to keep such information confidential); (b) as reasonably requested by (i) any potential or actual Assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with the contemplated transfer of any Commitment or participations therein as permitted hereunder or (ii) any actual or prospective party (or its Affiliates or their respective directors, officers, agents, employees, advisors or counsel) to any swap, derivative or other transaction under which payments are to be made by reference to the Borrower and its 

- 105 -

obligations, this Agreement or payments hereunder (provided, in each case, that they shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings or as otherwise required by Applicable Law; provided, however, if the Administrative Agent or a Lender receives a summons or subpoena to disclose any such confidential information to any Person, the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, shall, if legally permitted, endeavor to notify the Borrower thereof as soon as possible after receipt of such request, summons or subpoena and the Borrower shall be afforded an opportunity to seek protective orders, or such other confidential treatment of such disclosed information, as the Borrower and the Administrative Agent or such Lender, as applicable, may deem reasonable; (d) to the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information); (e) after the happening and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to any other Person, in connection with the exercise by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders of rights hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents; (f) upon Borrower’s prior consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), to any contractual counter-parties to any swap or similar hedging agreement or to any rating agency; (g) with the consent of the Borrower, and (h) to the extent such information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section actually known to such Lender to be such a breach or (y) becomes available to the Administrative Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Affiliate.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose any such confidential information, without notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, to Governmental Authorities and other regulatory authorities (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative Agent or such Lender or in accordance with the regulatory compliance policy of the Administrative Agent or such Lender.
Section 13.9    Collateral Fallaway.    
Following the Investment Grade Rating Date, upon the written request of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall release the Liens under the Collateral Documents and return to the applicable Loan Parties any equity certificates held as Collateral (the “Collateral Fallaway”), provided that, (i) immediately prior to the Collateral Fallaway and immediately after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default exists, (ii) immediately prior to the Collateral Fallaway and immediately after giving effect thereto, the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Borrower and each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party are true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of the Collateral Fallaway with the same force and effect as if made on and as of such date, except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties were true and correct in all material respects on and as of such earlier date), (iii) immediately following the occurrence of the Investment Grade Rating Date, the Loan Parties will be in compliance with the covenants set forth in Section 10.1 through 10.5, and (iv) the Administrative Agent shall have received a certificate from the chief executive officer or chief financial officer of the Borrower and NSA REIT certifying (with supporting calculations reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent) the matters referred to in the immediately preceding clauses 

- 106 -

(a)    Each Loan Party shall and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, each of the Lenders, any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and their respective directors, officers, agents, employees and counsel (each referred to herein as an “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all of the following (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”):  losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or reasonable expenses of every kind and nature (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, court costs and the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding or any advice rendered in connection therewith, but excluding losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses indemnification in respect of which is specifically covered by Section 3.12 or 4.1 or expressly excluded from the coverage of such Section 3.12 or 4.1) incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of, or by reason of, any suit, cause of action, claim, arbitration, investigation or settlement, consent decree or other proceeding (the foregoing referred to herein as an “Indemnity Proceeding”) which is in any way related directly or indirectly to: (i) this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) the making of any Loans hereunder; (iii) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans; (iv) the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s entering into this Agreement; (v) the fact that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have established the credit facility evidenced hereby in favor of the Borrower; (vi) the fact that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are creditors of the Borrower and have or are alleged to have information regarding the financial condition, strategic plans or business operations of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries; (vii) the fact that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are material creditors of the Borrower and are alleged to influence directly or indirectly the business decisions or affairs of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries or their financial condition; (viii) the exercise of any right or remedy the Administrative Agent or the Lenders may have under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (ix) any civil penalty or fine assessed by the OFAC against, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable and documented counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with defense thereof by, the Administrative Agent or any Lender as a result of conduct of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary that violates a sanction enforced by the OFAC; or (x) any violation or non- compliance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Applicable Law (including any Environmental Law) including, but not limited to, any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by (A) the Internal Revenue Service or state taxing authority or (B) any Governmental Authority or other Person under any Environmental Law, including any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by a Governmental Authority or other Person seeking remedial or other action to cause the Borrower or its Subsidiaries (or its respective properties) (or the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders as successors to the Borrower) to be in compliance with such Environmental Laws; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party for (A) any acts or omissions of such Indemnified Party in connection with matters described in this subsection to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, as 

- 107 -

determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment, (B) Indemnified Costs to the extent arising directly out of or resulting directly from claims of one or more Indemnified Parties against another Indemnified Party not arising from any act or omission of the Borrower, or (C) Indemnified Costs to the extent resulting from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnified Party for breach in bad faith of such Indemnified Party’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if the Borrower or such other Loan Party has obtained a final and non-appealable judgment in its favor on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(b)    The Loan Parties’ indemnification obligations under this Section 13.10 shall apply to all Indemnity Proceedings arising out of, or related to, the foregoing whether or not an Indemnified Party is a named party in such Indemnity Proceeding.  In this regard, this indemnification shall cover all Indemnified Costs of any Indemnified Party in connection with any deposition of any Indemnified Party or compliance with any subpoena (including any subpoena requesting the production of documents).  This indemnification shall, among other things, apply to any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by other creditors of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary, any shareholder of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary (whether such shareholder(s) are prosecuting such Indemnity Proceeding in their individual capacity or derivatively on behalf of the Borrower or any other Loan Party), any account debtor of any Loan Party or any Subsidiary or by any Governmental Authority.  If indemnification is to be sought hereunder by an Indemnified Party, then such Indemnified Party shall notify the Borrower of the commencement of any Indemnity Proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Borrower shall not relieve the Loan Parties from any liability that they may have to such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 13.10.
(c)    This indemnification shall apply to any Indemnity Proceeding arising during the pendency of any bankruptcy proceeding filed by or against NSA REIT, the Borrower and/or any Subsidiary.
(d)    [Reserved].
(e)    An Indemnified Party may conduct its own investigation and defense of, and may formulate its own strategy with respect to, any Indemnity Proceeding covered by this Section and, as provided above, all Indemnified Costs incurred by such Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Loan Parties.  No action taken by legal counsel chosen by an Indemnified Party in investigating or defending against any such Indemnity Proceeding shall vitiate or in any way impair the obligations and duties of the Loan Parties hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless each such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if (i) any Loan Party is required to indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant hereto and (ii) the Borrower has provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party that the Borrower has the financial wherewithal to reimburse such Indemnified Party for any amount paid by such Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnity Proceeding, such Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrower 

- 108 -

where (x) no monetary relief is sought against such Indemnified Party in such Indemnity Proceeding or (y) there is an allegation of a violation of law by such Indemnified Party.
(f)    If and to the extent that the obligations of the Loan Parties under this Section are unenforceable for any reason, the Loan Parties hereby agree to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law.
(g)    The Loan Parties’ obligations under this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment in full in cash of the Obligations, and are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any other of their obligations set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party.
(h)    References in this Section to “Lender” or “Lenders” shall be deemed to include such Persons (and their Affiliates) in their capacity as Specified Derivatives Providers.
Section 13.11    Termination; Survival.
This Agreement shall terminate at such time as (a) all of the Commitments have been terminated, (b) none of the Lenders is obligated any longer under this Agreement to make any Loans and (c) all Obligations (other than obligations which survive as provided in the following sentence) have been paid and satisfied in full.  The indemnities to which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of Sections 3.12, 4.1, 4.4, 12.7, 13.2 and 13.10 and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents which, by its terms, expressly survives termination of this Agreement or such other Loan Document, and the provisions of Section 13.4, shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent and the Lenders (i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, against events arising after such termination as well as before and (ii) at all times after any such party ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior to the date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement.
Section 13.12    Severability of Provisions.
Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.
Section 13.13    GOVERNING LAW.    
THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.
Section 13.14    Counterparts.    
This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which 

- 109 -

when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
Section 13.15    Obligations with Respect to Loan Parties.    
The obligations of the Loan Parties to direct or prohibit the taking of certain actions by the other Loan Parties as specified herein shall be absolute and not subject to any defense any Loan Party may have that it does not control any such other Loan Party.
Section 13.16    Limitation of Liability.    
Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender, nor any Affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and each Loan Party hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by any Loan Party in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.  Each Loan Party hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue the Administrative Agent or any Lender or any of the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or financed hereby.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender, nor any Affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and each Loan Party hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any damages arising from the use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed by them through telecommunications, electronic or other information transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
Section 13.17    Entire Agreement.    
This Agreement, the Term Notes, and the other Loan Documents referred to herein embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto.  There are no oral agreements among the parties hereto.
Section 13.18    Construction.    
Each Loan Party, each Lender and the Administrative Agent acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the other Loan Documents with its legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by each Loan Party, each Lender and the Administrative Agent.

Section 13.19    Joint and Several Liability of the Loan Parties.    
(a)    Each of the Loan Parties, jointly and severally, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally accepts, not merely as a surety but also as a co-debtor, joint and several liability with the other Loan Parties with respect to the payment and performance of all of the Obligations, it being the intention of the parties hereto that all of the Obligations shall be the joint and several obligations of each of the Loan Parties without preferences or distinction among them.
(b)    If and to the extent that any of the Loan Parties shall fail to make any payment with respect to any of the Obligations as and when due or to perform any of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof, then in each such event the other Loan Parties will make such payment with respect to, or perform, such Obligation.
(c)    The Obligations of each of the Loan Parties under the provisions of this Section 13.19 constitute full recourse obligations of each such Loan Party enforceable against each such Loan Party to the full extent of its properties and assets.
(d)    Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each of the Loam Parties, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, hereby waives notice of acceptance of its joint and several liability, notice of any Loans or other extensions of credit made under this Agreement, notice of any action at any time taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent or any Lender under or in respect of any of the Obligations, and, generally, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, all demands, notices (other than those required pursuant to the terms of any Loan Document) and other formalities of every kind in connection with the Loan Documents.  Each Loan Party, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, hereby waives all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, any right to require the marshaling of assets of the Loan Parties and any other entity or Person primarily or secondarily liable with respect to any of the Obligations and all suretyship defenses generally.  Each of the Loan Parties, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, hereby assents to, and waives notice of, any extension or postponement of the time for the payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any payment of any of the Obligations, the acceptance of any partial payment thereon, any waiver, consent or other action or acquiescence by the Administrative Agent or any Lender at any time or times in respect of any default by any of the Loan Parties in the performance or satisfaction of any term, covenant, condition or provision of any Loan Document, any and all other indulgences whatsoever by the Administrative Agent or any Lender in respect of any of the Obligations, and the taking, addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, at any time or times, of any collateral security for any of the Obligations or the addition, substitution or release, in whole or in part, of the Loan Parties.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the Loan Parties assents to any other action or delay in acting or failure to act on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to the failure by any of the Loan Parties to comply with any of its respective Obligations, including any failure strictly or diligently to assert any right or to pursue any remedy or to comply fully with Applicable Laws thereunder, which might, but for the provisions of this Section 13.19, afford grounds for terminating, discharging or relieving any Loan Party, in whole or in part, from any of its Obligations under this Section 13.19, it being the intention of each of the Loan Parties that, so long as any of the Obligations hereunder remain 

- 111 -

unsatisfied, the Obligations of such Loan Parties under this Section 13.19 shall not be discharged except by performance and then only to the extent of such performance.  The Obligations of each of the Loan Parties under this Section 13.19 shall not be diminished or rendered unenforceable by any winding up, reorganization, arrangement, liquidation, re- construction or similar proceeding with respect to any of the Loan Parties or the Administrative Agent or any Lender.  The joint and several liability of the Loan Parties hereunder shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any absorption, merger, amalgamation or any other change whatsoever in the name, membership, constitution or place of formation of any of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
(e)    To the extent any Loan Party makes a payment hereunder in excess of the aggregate amount of the benefit received by such Loan Party in respect of the extensions of credit under this Agreement (the “Benefit Amount”), then such Loan Party, after the irrevocable payment in full of all of the Obligations, shall be entitled to recover from each other Loan Party such excess payment, pro rata, in accordance with the ratio of the Benefit Amount received by each such other Loan Party to the total Benefit Amount received by all the Loan Parties, and the right to such recovery shall be deemed to be an asset and property of such Loan Party so funding; provided, that each of the Loan Parties hereby agrees that it will not enforce any of its rights of contribution or subrogation against the other the Loan Parties with respect to any liability incurred by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, any payments made by it to the Administrative Agent or any Lender with respect to any of the Obligations or any collateral security therefor until such time as all of the Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full.  Any claim which any Loan Party may have against any other Loan Party with respect to any payments to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder or under any other Loan Document are hereby expressly made subordinate and junior in right of payment, without limitation as to any increases in the Obligations arising hereunder or thereunder, to the prior irrevocable payment in full of the Obligations and, in the event of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceeding under the laws of any jurisdiction relating to any Loan Party, its debts or its assets, whether voluntary or involuntary, all such Obligations shall be irrevocably paid in full before any payment or distribution of any character, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made to any other Loan Party therefor.
(f)    Each of the Loan Parties hereby agrees that the payment of any amounts due with respect to the indebtedness owing by any Loan Party to any other Loan Party is hereby subordinated to the prior irrevocable payment in full of the Obligations.  Each Loan Party hereby agrees that after the occurrences and during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default, such Loan Party will not demand, sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any indebtedness of any other Loan Party owing to such Loan Party until the Obligations shall have been irrevocably paid in full.  If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, such Loan Party shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness before the irrevocable payment in full of the Obligations, such amounts shall be collected, enforced, received by such Loan Party as trustee for Administrative Agent and be paid over to the Administrative Agent for the pro rata accounts of the Lenders to be applied to repay (or be held as collateral security for the repayment of) the Obligations.

Section 13.20    Acknowledgement and Consent to Bail-In of EEA Financial Institutions.    
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Loan Document or in any other agreement, arrangement or understanding among any such parties, each party hereto acknowledges that any liability of any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the write-down and conversion powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:
(a)    the application of any Write-Down and Conversion Powers by an EEA Resolution Authority to any such liabilities arising hereunder which may be payable to it by any Lender that is an EEA Financial Institution; and
(b)    the effects of any Bail-in Action on any such liability, including, if applicable:
(i)    a reduction in full or in part or cancellation of any such liability;
(ii)    a conversion of all, or a portion of, such liability into shares or other instruments of ownership in such EEA Financial Institution, its parent undertaking, or a bridge institution that may be issued to it or otherwise conferred on it, and that such shares or other instruments of ownership will be accepted by it in lieu of any rights with respect to any such liability under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; or
(iii)    the variation of the terms of such liability in connection with the exercise of the write-down and conversion powers of any EEA Resolution Authority.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Specified Derivatives Contracts, the Specified Derivatives Providers have agreed, or may from time to time hereafter agree, to make available to NSA REIT and its Subsidiaries certain financial accommodations on the terms and conditions set forth in the Specified Derivatives Contracts (NSA REIT and its Subsidiaries, in their capacity as obligors in respect of the Specified Derivatives Obligations, together with the Borrower, collectively, the “Obligors”);
WHEREAS, the Parent Guarantor is the sole general partner of the Borrower and, as of the date hereof, owns at least 37.55% of the partnership interests of the Borrower;
WHEREAS, each of the Obligors and the Parent Guarantor, through separate legal entities, are mutually dependent on each other in the conduct of their respective businesses as an integrated operation and have determined it to be in their mutual best interests to obtain such financial accommodations from the Secured Parties through their collective efforts;
WHEREAS, the Parent Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the Secured Parties making such financial accommodations available to each Obligor and, accordingly, the Parent Guarantor is willing to guarantee the Obligors’ obligations to the Secured Parties, on the terms and conditions contained herein; and
WHEREAS, the Parent Guarantor’s execution and delivery of this Guaranty is a condition to the Secured Parties making, and continuing to make, such financial accommodations to the Obligors.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the Parent Guarantor, the Parent Guarantor agrees as follows:

B-2

The Parent Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guaranties the due and punctual payment and performance when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all of the following (collectively referred to as the “Guarantied Obligations”): (a) all indebtedness, liabilities, obligations, covenants and duties owing by the Borrower to any Lender or the Administrative Agent under or in connection with the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document, including without limitation, the repayment of all principal of the Loans, and the payment of all interest, Fees, charges, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other amounts payable to any Lender or the Administrative Agent thereunder or in connection therewith (including, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, interest, Fees and other amounts that would accrue and become due after the filing of a case or other Proceeding (as defined below) but for the commencement of such case or other Proceeding, whether or not such amounts are allowed or allowable in whole or in part in such case or other Proceeding); (b) any and all extensions, renewals, modifications, amendments or substitutions of the foregoing; (c) all other Obligations and Specified Derivatives Obligations; and (d) all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that are incurred by the Administrative Agent in the enforcement of any of the foregoing or any obligation of the Parent Guarantor hereunder.
Section 2.    Guaranty of Payment and Not of Collection.  This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment, and not of collection, and a debt of the Parent Guarantor for its own account.  Accordingly, the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated or required before enforcing this Guaranty against the Parent Guarantor:  (a) to pursue any right or remedy it may have against any Obligor, the Parent Guarantor or any other Person or commence any suit or other proceeding against any Obligor, the Parent Guarantor or any other Person in any court or other tribunal; (b) to make any claim in a liquidation or bankruptcy of any Obligor, the Parent Guarantor or any other Person; or (c) to make demand of any Obligor, the Parent Guarantor or any other Person.
Section 3.    Guaranty Absolute.

The liability of the Parent Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including without limitation, the following (whether or not the Parent Guarantor consents thereto or has notice thereof):
(a)    (i) any change in the amount, interest rate or due date or other term of any of the Guarantied Obligations, (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of all or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations, (iii) any amendment or waiver of, or consent to the departure from or other indulgence with respect to, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Specified Derivatives Contract, or any other document or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guarantied Obligations, or (iv) any waiver, renewal, extension, addition, or supplement to, or deletion from, or any other action or inaction under or in respect of, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Specified Derivatives Contract, or any other documents, instruments or agreements 

B-3

relating to the Guarantied Obligations or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;
(b)    any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Specified Derivatives Contract, or any other document, instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;
(c)    any furnishing to the Secured Parties of any security for the Guarantied Obligations;
(d)    any settlement or compromise of any of the Guarantied Obligations or any liability of any other party with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, or any subordination of the payment of the Guarantied Obligations to the payment of any other liability of any Obligor or any other Loan Party;
(e)    any Proceeding relating to the Parent Guarantor, any Obligor, any other Loan Party or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such Proceeding;
(f)    any act or failure to act by any Obligor, any other Loan Party or any other Person which may adversely affect the Parent Guarantor’s subrogation rights, if any, against such Obligor to recover payments made under this Guaranty;
(g)    any application of sums paid by any Obligor, the Parent Guarantor or any other Person with respect to the liabilities of such Obligor to any Secured Party, regardless of what liabilities of such Obligor remain unpaid;
(h)    any defect, limitation or insufficiency in the borrowing powers of any Obligor or in the exercise thereof;
(i)    any defense, set-off, claim or counterclaim (other than indefeasible payment and performance in full) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Obligor, any other Loan Party or any other Person against any Secured Party;
(j)    any change in the legal existence, structure or ownership of any Obligor or any other Loan Party;
(k)    any statement, representation or warranty made or deemed made by or on behalf of any Obligor, the Parent Guarantor or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document, any Specified Derivatives Contract, or other document or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guarantied Obligations, or any amendment hereto or thereto, proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any respect; or
(l)    any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Parent Guarantor hereunder (other than indefeasible payment and performance in full).

B-4

Section 4.    Action with Respect to Guarantied Obligations.  The Secured Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Parent Guarantor, and without discharging the Parent Guarantor from its obligations hereunder, take any and all actions described in Section 3 and may otherwise: (a) amend, modify, alter or supplement the terms of any of the Guarantied Obligations, including, but not limited to, extending or shortening the time of payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations or changing the interest rate that may accrue on any of the Guarantied Obligations; (b) amend, modify, alter or supplement the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Specified Derivatives Contract, or any other document or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guarantied Obligations; (c) release any other Loan Party or other Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Guarantied Obligations; (d) exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights against any Obligor, the Parent Guarantor or any other Person; and (e) apply any sum, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the Guarantied Obligations in such order as the Secured Parties shall elect.
Section 5.    Representations and Warranties.  The Parent Guarantor hereby makes to the Administrative Agent all of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower with respect to or in any way relating to the Parent Guarantor in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as if the same were set forth herein in full.
Section 6.    Covenants.  The Parent Guarantor will comply with all covenants which the Borrower is to cause the Parent Guarantor to comply with under the terms of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.
Section 7.    Waiver.  To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law:
(a)    The Parent Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to any extent might vary the risk of the Parent Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to discharge the Parent Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.
(b)    The Parent Guarantor hereby waives all rights and defenses that the Parent Guarantor may have because the Guarantied Obligations (or any portion thereof) are secured by real property.  This means, among other things:
		
	i.
	The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may collect from the Parent Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by any Obligor; and

		
	ii.
	If the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by any Obligor, (x) the amount of the Guarantied Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that real property collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if such real property collateral is worth more than the sale price and (y) the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may collect from the Parent Guarantor even if the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, by foreclosing 

B-5

on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right the Parent Guarantor may have to collect from any or all of the Obligors.
The foregoing waiver in this clause (b) is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the Parent Guarantor may have because the Guarantied Obligations (or any portion thereof) are secured by real property.  These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, Section 580b, Section 580d, or Section 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
(c)    The Parent Guarantor waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security, if any, for any Guarantied Obligations, has destroyed the Parent Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.
Section 8.    Inability to Accelerate Loan.  If the Administrative Agent is prevented under Applicable Law or otherwise from demanding or accelerating payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall be entitled to receive from the Parent Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred.
Section 9.    Reinstatement of Guarantied Obligations.  If claim is ever made on the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, and the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party with any such claimant (including the Obligors or a trustee in bankruptcy for the Obligors), then and in such event the Parent Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Specified Derivatives Contract, or any other document or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guarantied Obligations, and the Parent Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party.
Section 10.    Subrogation.  Upon the making by the Parent Guarantor of any payment hereunder for the account of the Obligors, the Parent Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Obligors; provided, however, that the Parent Guarantor shall not enforce any right or receive any payment by way of subrogation or otherwise take any action in respect of any other claim or cause of action the Parent Guarantor may have against the Obligors arising by reason of any payment or performance by the Parent Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty, unless and until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full.  If any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of or in respect of such subrogation rights or other claims or causes of action, the Parent Guarantor shall hold such amount in trust for the benefit of the 

B-6

Administrative Agent and shall forthwith pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be credited and applied against the Guarantied Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or to be held by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for any Guarantied Obligations existing.
Section 11.    Payments Free and Clear.  All sums payable by the Parent Guarantor hereunder, whether of principal, interest, Fees, expenses, premiums or otherwise, shall be paid in full, without set-off or counterclaim or any deduction or withholding whatsoever (including any Taxes), and if the Parent Guarantor is required by Applicable Law or by a Governmental Authority to make any such deduction or withholding, the Parent Guarantor shall pay to the Administrative Agent such additional amount as will result in the receipt by the Administrative Agent of the full amount payable hereunder had such deduction or withholding not occurred or been required.
Section 12.    Set-off.  In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any of the other Loan Documents or Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Parent Guarantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, each Lender and any of their respective Affiliates, at any time while an Event of Default exists, without any prior notice to the Parent Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders exercised in their sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of the Parent Guarantor against and on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured.
Section 13.    Subordination.  The Parent Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Administrative Agent that all obligations and liabilities of any Obligor to the Parent Guarantor of whatever description, including without limitation, all intercompany receivables of the Parent Guarantor from such Obligor (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Guarantied Obligations.  If an Event of Default shall exist, then the Parent Guarantor shall not accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property or securities, by setoff or otherwise) from any Obligor on account of or in any manner in respect of any Junior Claim until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.
Section 14.    Avoidance Provisions.  It is the intent of the Parent Guarantor and each Secured Party that in any Proceeding, the Parent Guarantor’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of the Parent Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of the Parent Guarantor to the Secured Parties) to be avoidable or unenforceable against the Parent Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code (as defined below) and (b) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such Proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.  The Applicable Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of the Parent 

B-7

Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of the Parent Guarantor to the Secured Parties) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions”.  Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of the Parent Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Guarantied Obligations for which the Parent Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Guarantied Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of the Parent Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of the Parent Guarantor to the Secured Parties), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions.  This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of the Parent Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and neither the Parent Guarantor nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Secured Parties that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.
Section 15.    Information.  The Parent Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Obligors and the other Loan Parties, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that the Parent Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that no Secured Party shall have any duty whatsoever to advise the Parent Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances or risks.
Section 16.    Governing Law.  THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.
Section 17.    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
(a)    EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARENT GUARANTOR AND SECURED PARTIES WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES.  ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE SECURED PARTIES AND GUARANTORS HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE PARENT GUARANTOR AND SECURED PARTIES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, SPECIFIED DERIVATIVES CONTRACTS OR OTHER DOCUMENTS, INSTRUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS.
(b)    EACH OF THE SECURED PARTIES AND THE PARENT GUARANTOR HEREBY AGREES THAT ANY FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, 

B-8

NEW YORK, NEW YORK SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE GUARANTORS AND SECURED PARTIES PERTAINING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING HEREFROM OR THEREFROM.  EACH OF THE SECURED PARTIES AND THE PARENT GUARANTOR EXPRESSLY SUBMIT AND CONSENT IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH CLAIMS OR DISPUTES.  EACH OF THE SECURED PARTIES AND THE PARENT GUARANTOR FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME.  THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY ANY PARTY OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY ANY OF THE PARENT GUARANTOR AND SECURED PARTIES OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.
(c)    THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH OF THE SECURED PARTIES AND THE PARENT GUARANTOR WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, SPECIFIED DERIVATIVES CONTRACTS AND OTHER DOCUMENTS, INSTRUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTY.
Section 18.    Loan Accounts.  The Secured Parties may maintain books and accounts setting forth the amounts of principal, interest and other sums paid and payable with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, and in the case of any dispute relating to any of the outstanding amount, payment or receipt of any of the Guarantied Obligations or otherwise, the entries in such books and accounts shall be deemed conclusive evidence of the amounts and other matters set forth herein, absent manifest error.  The failure of any Secured Party to maintain such books and accounts shall not in any way relieve or discharge the Parent Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder.
Section 19.    Waiver of Remedies.  No delay or failure on the part of any Secured Party in the exercise of any right or remedy it may have against the Parent Guarantor hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by any Secured Party of any such right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right or remedy.

Section 21.    Successors and Assigns.  Each reference herein to any Secured Party shall be deemed to include such Person’s respective successors and assigns (including, but not limited

(e)    any Proceeding relating to such Guarantor, any Obligor, any other Loan Party or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such Proceeding;
(f)    any act or failure to act by any Obligor, any other Loan Party or any other Person which may adversely affect such Guarantor’s subrogation rights, if any, against such Obligor to recover payments made under this Guaranty;
(g)    any nonperfection or impairment of any security interest or other Lien on any collateral securing in any way any of the Guarantied Obligations;
(h)    any application of sums paid by any Obligor, any other Guarantor or any other Person with respect to the liabilities of such Obligor to any Secured Party, regardless of what liabilities of such Obligor remain unpaid;
(i)    any defect, limitation or insufficiency in the borrowing powers of any Obligor or in the exercise thereof;
(j)    any defense, set-off, claim or counterclaim (other than indefeasible payment and performance in full) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by any Obligor, any other Loan Party or any other Person against any Secured Party;
(k)    any change in the legal existence, structure or ownership of any Obligor or any other Loan Party;
(l)    any statement, representation or warranty made or deemed made by or on behalf of any Obligor, any Guarantor or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document, any Specified Derivatives Contract, or other document or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guarantied Obligations, or any amendment hereto or thereto, proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any respect; or

G-4

(m)    any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, a Guarantor hereunder (other than indefeasible payment and performance in full).
Section 4.    Action with Respect to Guarantied Obligations.  The Secured Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without discharging any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder, take any and all actions described in Section 3 and may otherwise: (a) amend, modify, alter or supplement the terms of any of the Guarantied Obligations, including, but not limited to, extending or shortening the time of payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations or changing the interest rate that may accrue on any of the Guarantied Obligations; (b) amend, modify, alter or supplement the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Specified Derivatives Contract, or any other document or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guarantied Obligations; (c) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with all, or any part, of any collateral securing any of the Obligations; (d) release any other Loan Party or other Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Guarantied Obligations; (e) exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights against any Obligor, any other Guarantor or any other Person; and (f) apply any sum, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the Guarantied Obligations in such order as the Secured Parties shall elect.
Section 5.    Representations and Warranties.  Each Guarantor hereby makes to the Administrative Agent all of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower with respect to or in any way relating to such Guarantor in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as if the same were set forth herein in full.
Section 6.    Covenants.  Each Guarantor will comply with all covenants which the Borrower is to cause such Guarantor to comply with under the terms of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents and will refrain from taking any actions that the Borrower has agreed not to permit it to take under the terms of the Credit Agreement or other Loan Documents.
Each of the Borrower and each Guarantor that is a Qualified ECP Guarantor at the time the Guarantee hereunder by any Specified Loan Party becomes effective with respect to any Specified Derivative Obligation, hereby jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably undertakes to provide such funds or other support to each Specified Loan Party with respect to such Specified Derivative Obligations as may be needed by such Specified Loan Party from time to time to honor all of its obligations under this Guaranty and the other Loan Documents in respect of such Specified Derivative Obligation (but, in each case, only up to the maximum amount of such liability that can be hereby incurred without rendering the Borrower’s or such Qualified ECP Guarantor’s undertakings hereunder voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer, and not for any greater amount).  The obligations and undertakings of the Borrower and each Qualified ECP Guarantor under this paragraph shall remain in full force and effect until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full.  The Borrower and each Qualified ECP Guarantor intends this paragraph to constitute, and this paragraph shall be deemed to constitute, a guarantee of the obligations of, and a “keepwell, support, or other agreement” for the benefit of, each Specified Loan Party for all purposes of Section 1a(18)(A)(v)(II) of the Commodity Exchange Act ((7 U.S.C. §1 et seq.), as amended from time to time, and any successor statute, herein, the “Commodity Exchange Act”).  The term “Guarantor”, as used in this Guaranty, 

G-5

shall, where the context so requires, include the Borrower to the extent the Borrower has any obligations under the “keepwell” provisions hereof.
Section 7.    Waiver.  To the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law:
(a)    Each Guarantor hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to any extent might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.
(b)    Each Guarantor hereby waives all rights and defenses that such Guarantor may have because the Guarantied Obligations (or any portion thereof) are secured by real property.  This means, among other things:
		
	i.
	The Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may collect from such Guarantors without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by the Borrower; and

		
	ii.
	If the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, forecloses on any real property collateral pledged by the Borrower, (x) the amount of the Guarantied Obligations may be reduced only by the price for which that real property collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if such real property collateral is worth more than the sale price and (y) the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, may collect from such Guarantors even if the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right either of the Guarantors may have to collect from any or all of the Borrowers.

The foregoing waiver in this clause (b) is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses any of the Guarantors may have because the Guarantied Obligations (or any portion thereof) are secured by real property.  These rights and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, Section 580b, Section 580d, or Section 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
(c)    Each of the Guarantors waives all rights and defenses arising out of an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, even though that election of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security, if any, for any Guarantied Obligations, has destroyed such Guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise.
(d)    Each of the Guarantors waives such Guarantor’s or other surety’s rights of subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification and contribution and other rights, benefits and defenses, if any, otherwise available to such Guarantor pursuant to California law, including, without limitation, the rights, benefits or defenses set forth in California Civil Code Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 or 3433 and any rights, benefits or defenses resulting from alteration, impairment 

G-6

or suspension in any respect or by any means of any of the Borrower’s obligations under the Loan Documents or any of Administrative Agent’s rights or remedies, on behalf of the Secured Parties, under the Loan Documents without such Guarantor’s prior consent.
(e)    Each of the Guarantors acknowledges and agrees that the Secured Parties are relying on the above waivers in making the Loan, and that these waivers are a material part of the consideration which the Secured Parties are receiving for making the Loan.
(f)    Each of the Guarantors waives the right, if any, to the benefit of, or to direct the application of, any security held by the Administrative Agent; and, until all the indebtedness and obligations, payment and performance of which are hereby guarantied, have been paid and performed in full, any right to enforce any remedy which the Administrative Agent now has or hereafter may have against the Borrower, and any right to participate in any security now or hereafter held by the Administrative Agent.
(g)    Each of the Guarantors waives the right to require the Administrative Agent to proceed against the Borrower, to proceed against any real property, or to proceed against any other security now or hereafter held by the Administrative Agent or to pursue any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s power.
Section 8.    Inability to Accelerate Loan.  If the Administrative Agent is prevented under Applicable Law or otherwise from demanding or accelerating payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise, the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, shall be entitled to receive from each Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred.
Section 9.    Reinstatement of Guarantied Obligations.  If claim is ever made on the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, and the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party with any such claimant (including the Obligors or a trustee in bankruptcy for the Obligors), then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, any Specified Derivatives Contract, or any other document or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guarantied Obligations, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to the Administrative Agent or such other Secured Party.
Section 10.    Subrogation.  Upon the making by any Guarantor of any payment hereunder for the account of the Obligors, such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Obligors; provided, however, that such Guarantor shall not enforce any right or receive any payment by way of subrogation or otherwise take any action in respect of any other claim or cause of action such Guarantor may have against the Obligors arising by reason of any payment or 

G-7

performance by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty, unless and until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full.  If any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of or in respect of such subrogation rights or other claims or causes of action, such Guarantor shall hold such amount in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and shall forthwith pay such amount to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, to be credited and applied against the Guarantied Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or to be held by the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, as collateral security for any Guarantied Obligations existing.
Section 11.    Payments Free and Clear.  All sums payable by each Guarantor hereunder, whether of principal, interest, Fees, expenses, premiums or otherwise, shall be paid in full, without set-off or counterclaim or any deduction or withholding whatsoever (including any Taxes), and if any Guarantor is required by Applicable Law or by a Governmental Authority to make any such deduction or withholding, such Guarantor shall pay to the Administrative Agent such additional amount as will result in the receipt by the Administrative Agent of the full amount payable hereunder had such deduction or withholding not occurred or been required.
Section 12.    Set-off.  In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any of the other Loan Documents or Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Guarantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, each Lender and any of their respective Affiliates, at any time while an Event of Default exists, without any prior notice to such Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders exercised in their sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Lender, or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent or such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor against and on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured.
Section 13.    Subordination.  Each Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Administrative Agent that all obligations and liabilities of any Obligor to such Guarantor of whatever description, including without limitation, all intercompany receivables of such Guarantor from such Obligor (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Guarantied Obligations.  If an Event of Default shall exist, then no Guarantor shall accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property or securities, by setoff or otherwise) from any Obligor on account of or in any manner in respect of any Junior Claim until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.
Section 14.    Avoidance Provisions.  It is the intent of each Guarantor and each Secured Party that in any Proceeding, such Guarantor’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Secured Parties) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code (as defined below) and (b) any state 

G-8

fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such Proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.  The Applicable Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Secured Parties) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions”.  Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Guarantied Obligations for which such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Guarantied Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Secured Parties), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions.  This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Secured Parties hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Guarantor or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Secured Parties that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.
Section 15.    Information.  Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Obligors and the other Guarantors, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that no Secured Party shall have any duty whatsoever to advise any Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances or risks.
Section 16.    Governing Law.  THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.
Section 17.    WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.
(a)    EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE GUARANTORS AND SECURED PARTIES WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES.  ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE SECURED PARTIES AND GUARANTORS HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE GUARANTORS AND SECURED PARTIES OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, SPECIFIED DERIVATIVES CONTRACTS OR OTHER DOCUMENTS, INSTRUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS.

G-9

(b)    EACH OF THE SECURED PARTIES AND GUARANTORS HEREBY AGREES THAT ANY FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, NEW YORK, NEW YORK SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY OF THE GUARANTORS AND SECURED PARTIES PERTAINING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING HEREFROM OR THEREFROM.  EACH OF THE SECURED PARTIES AND GUARANTORS EXPRESSLY SUBMIT AND CONSENT IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH CLAIMS OR DISPUTES.  EACH OF THE SECURED PARTIES AND GUARANTORS FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME.  THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY ANY PARTY OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY ANY OF THE GUARANTORS AND SECURED PARTIES OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.
(c)    THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH OF THE SECURED PARTIES AND GUARANTORS WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, SPECIFIED DERIVATIVES CONTRACTS AND OTHER DOCUMENTS, INSTRUMENTS OR AGREEMENTS RELATING TO THE GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTY.
Section 18.    Loan Accounts.  The Secured Parties may maintain books and accounts setting forth the amounts of principal, interest and other sums paid and payable with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, and in the case of any dispute relating to any of the outstanding amount, payment or receipt of any of the Guarantied Obligations or otherwise, the entries in such books and accounts shall be deemed conclusive evidence of the amounts and other matters set forth herein, absent manifest error.  The failure of any Secured Party to maintain such books and accounts shall not in any way relieve or discharge any Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder.
Section 19.    Waiver of Remedies.  No delay or failure on the part of any Secured Party in the exercise of any right or remedy it may have against any Guarantor hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by any Secured Party of any such right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right or remedy.
Section 20.    Termination.  This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations).

G-10

Section 21.    Successors and Assigns.  Each reference herein to any Secured Party shall be deemed to include such Person’s respective successors and assigns (including, but not limited to, any holder of the Guarantied Obligations) in whose favor the provisions of this Guaranty also shall inure, and each reference herein to each Guarantor shall be deemed to include such Guarantor’s successors and assigns, upon whom this Guaranty also shall be binding.  The Secured Parties may, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement or Specified Derivatives Contract, assign, transfer or sell any Guarantied Obligation, or grant or sell participations in any Guarantied Obligations, to any Person without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor and without releasing, discharging or modifying any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.  Subject to Section 13.8 of the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor hereby consents to the delivery by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any Assignee or Participant (or any prospective Assignee or Participant) of any financial or other information regarding any Obligor or any Guarantor.  No Guarantor may assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder to any Person without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and any such assignment or other transfer to which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have not so consented shall be null and void.
Section 22.    JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS.  THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE GUARANTORS HEREUNDER SHALL BE JOINT AND SEVERAL, AND ACCORDINGLY, EACH GUARANTOR CONFIRMS THAT IT IS LIABLE FOR THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE “GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS” AND ALL OF THE OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF EACH OF THE OTHER GUARANTORS HEREUNDER.
Section 23.    Amendments.  This Guaranty may not be amended except in a writing signed by each Guarantor and the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if required under the terms of the Credit Agreement) (or the Administrative Agent at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders or all of the Lenders, as the case may be) provided, however, that any Subsidiary Guarantor may be released hereunder in accordance with the terms of Sections 8.13(b) and 8.14(b) of the Credit Agreement and any Subsidiary may become a Guarantor hereunder by executing and delivering an Accession Agreement in accordance with Sections 8.13(a) and 8.14(a) of the Credit Agreement.
Section 24.    Payments.  All payments to be made by any Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, at the Principal Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of demand therefor.
Section 25.    Notices.  All notices, requests and other communications hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given (a) to each Guarantor at its address set forth below its signature hereto, (b) to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, at its address for notices provided for in the Credit Agreement, or (c) as to each such party at such other address as such party shall designate in a written notice to the other parties.  Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if mailed, when received; (ii) if telecopied, when transmitted; or (iii) if hand delivered, when delivered; provided, however, that any notice of a change of address for notices shall not be effective until received.

G-11

Section 26.    Severability.  In case any provision of this Guaranty shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
Section 27.    Headings.  Section headings used in this Guaranty are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of this Guaranty.
Section 28.    Limitation of Liability.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties, nor any Affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of the Administrative Agent or any of the other Secured Parties, shall have any liability with respect to, and each Guarantor hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by a Guarantor in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Guaranty or any other Loan Document or any Specified Derivatives Contract, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty or any other Loan Document or any Specified Derivatives Contract.  Each Guarantor hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue the Administrative Agent or any of the other Secured Parties or any of the Administrative Agent’s or other Secured Parties’, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Guaranty or any other Loan Document or any Specified Derivatives Contract, or any of the transactions contemplated by the Credit Agreement or any Specified Derivatives Contract or financed thereby.

ANNEX I
FORM OF ACCESSION AGREEMENT
THIS ACCESSION AGREEMENT dated as of ____________, 20__ (this “Agreement”), executed and delivered by _____, a __________ (the “New Guarantor”), in favor of CAPITAL ONE, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, in its capacity as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the Secured Parties under that certain Subsidiary Guaranty dated as of June 30, 2016 (as amended, supplemented, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Guaranty”), made by each Subsidiary of the Borrower a party thereto in favor of the Administrative Agent
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Credit Agreement (as may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) dated as of June 30, 2016, by and among NSA OP, LP, a limited partnership formed under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Borrower”), the Lenders from time to time party thereto, and the Administrative Agent, and joined in for certain purposes by certain Subsidiaries of the Borrower and NATIONAL STORAGE AFFILIATES TRUST, a Maryland real estate investment trust (“NSA REIT” or the “Parent Guarantor”), the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have agreed to make available to the Borrower certain financial accommodations on the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement;
