Agent (with a copy to the Borrower) duly completed by such Bank.

its senior unsecured debt obligations of not less than Baa-1 by Moody’s or a comparable rating by a
rating agency acceptable to Administrative Agent and (B) has total assets in excess of Five Hundred
Million Dollars ($500,000,000).

          “Agent-Related Persons” means the Administrative Agent, together with its affiliates, and the
officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys-in-fact of such Persons and Affiliates.

hereafter be modified, supplemented or amended.

interest rate applicable to such Fixed Rate Indebtedness at the time in question, and (ii) with
respect to any Floating Rate Indebtedness, either (x) the rate at which the interest rate
applicable to such Floating Rate Indebtedness is actually capped (or fixed pursuant to an interest
rate hedging device), at the time of calculation, if Borrower has entered into an interest rate cap
agreement or other interest rate hedging device with respect thereto or (y) if Borrower has not
entered into an interest rate cap agreement or other interest rate hedging device with respect to
such Floating Rate Indebtedness, the greater of (A) the rate at which the interest rate applicable
to such Floating Rate Indebtedness could be fixed for the remaining term of such Floating Rate
Indebtedness, at the time of calculation, by Borrower’s entering into any unsecured interest rate
hedging device either not requiring an upfront payment or if requiring an upfront payment, such
upfront payment shall be amortized over the term of such device and included in the calculation of
the interest rate (or, if such rate is incapable of being fixed by entering into an unsecured
interest rate hedging device at the time of calculation, a fixed rate equivalent reasonably
determined by Administrative Agent) or (B) the floating rate applicable to such Floating Rate
Indebtedness at the time in question.

          “Applicable Lending Office” means with respect to any Bank, (i) in the case of its Base Rate
Loans, its Domestic Lending Office, and (ii) in the case of its Euro-Dollar Loans, its Euro-Dollar

          “Applicable Margin” means with respect to each Loan, the respective percentages per annum
determined, at any time, based on the range into which Borrower’s Credit Rating then falls, in
accordance with the table set forth below. Any change in Borrower’s Credit Rating causing it to
move to a different range on the table shall effect an immediate change in the Applicable Margin.
In the event that Borrower receives only two (2) Credit Ratings, and such Credit Ratings are not
equivalent, the Applicable Margin shall be determined by the lower of such two (2) Credit Ratings.
In the event that Borrower receives more than two (2) Credit Ratings, and such Credit Ratings are
not all equivalent, the Applicable Margin shall be determined by the higher of the ratings from S&P
and Moody’s; provided that the rating from one of the other Rating Agencies shall be at least
equivalent to such higher rating; provided, further, that if the rating from one of
the other Rating Agencies is not at least equivalent to the higher of the ratings from S&P and
Moody’s, then the Applicable Margin shall be determined by the second (2nd) highest Credit Rating.
In the event that only one of the Rating Agencies shall have set Borrower’s Credit Rating, then the
Applicable Margin shall be based on such rating only.

indemnity or price-adjustment provision relating to the purchase or sale of securities or other
assets) and guarantees of non-monetary obligations (other than guarantees of completion) which have
not yet been called on or quantified, of such Person or of any other Person. The amount of any
Contingent Obligation described in clause (ii) shall be deemed to be (a) with respect to a guaranty
of interest or interest and principal, or operating income guaranty, the Net Present Value of the
sum of all payments required to be made thereunder (which in the case of an operating income
guaranty shall be deemed to be equal to the debt service for the note secured thereby), calculated
at the Applicable Interest Rate, through (i) in the case of an interest or interest and principal
guaranty, the stated date of maturity of the obligation (and commencing on the date interest could
first be payable thereunder), or (ii) in the case of an operating income guaranty, the date through
which such guaranty will remain in effect, and (b) with respect to all guarantees not covered by
the preceding clause (a), an amount equal to the stated or determinable amount of the primary

thereunder) as recorded on the balance sheet and on the footnotes to the most recent financial
statements of Borrower required to be delivered pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, guarantees of completion shall not be deemed to be
Contingent Obligations unless and until a claim for payment or performance has been made
thereunder, at which time any such guaranty of completion shall be deemed to be a Contingent
Obligation in an amount equal to any such claim. Subject to the preceding sentence, (i) in the
case of a joint and several guaranty given by such Person and another Person (but only to the
extent such guaranty is recourse, directly or indirectly to Borrower), the amount of the guaranty
shall be deemed to be 100% thereof unless and only to the extent that such other Person has
delivered Cash or Cash Equivalents to secure all or any part of such Person’s guaranteed
obligations and (ii) in the case of a

6

 

guaranty (whether or not joint and several) of an obligation
otherwise constituting Indebtedness of such Person, the amount of such guaranty shall be deemed to
be only that amount in excess of the amount of the obligation constituting Indebtedness of such
Person. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, “Contingent Obligations” shall
be deemed not to include guarantees of Unused
Commitments or of construction loans to the extent the same have not been drawn. All matters
constituting “Contingent Obligations” shall be calculated without duplication.

          “Convertible Securities” means evidences of shares of stock, limited or general partnership

that the Borrower wishes to amend any covenant in Article V to eliminate the effect of any change
in GAAP on the operation of such covenant (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower
that the Majority Banks wish to amend Article V for such purpose), then the Borrower’s compliance
with such covenant shall be determined on the basis of GAAP in effect immediately before the

collect such amounts from such Bank, Borrower agrees to repay to Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand such corresponding amounts together with interest thereto, for each day from the date such
amount is made available to Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to Administrative Agent,
at the interest rate applicable thereto one (1) Business Day after demand. Nothing contained in
this Section 2.5(d) shall be deemed to reduce the Commitment of any Bank or in any way affect the
rights of Borrower with respect to any defaulting Bank or Administrative Agent. The failure of any
Bank to make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s share of any Borrowing in accordance
with Section 2.5(b) hereof shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligations to fund its
Commitment, in accordance with the provisions hereof.

          (e)
Subject to the provisions hereof, the Administrative Agent shall make
available each Borrowing to Borrower in Federal funds immediately
available in accordance with, and on the date set forth in, the
applicable Notice of Borrowing.

          SECTION 2.6. Notes.

          (a) The Loans of each Bank shall be evidenced by a single Note payable to the order of such
Bank for the account of its Applicable Lending Office.

          (b) Each Bank may, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, request that its
Loans of a particular type be evidenced by a separate Note in an amount equal to the aggregate
unpaid principal amount of such Loans. Any additional costs incurred by the Administrative Agent,
the Borrower or the Banks in connection with preparing such a Note shall be at the sole cost and
expense of the Bank requesting such Note. In the event any Loans evidenced by such a Note are paid
in full prior to the Maturity Date, any such Bank shall return such Note to Borrower. Each such
Note shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto with appropriate modifications to
reflect the fact that it evidences solely Loans of the relevant type. Upon the execution and
delivery of any such Note, any existing Note payable to such Bank shall be replaced or modified
accordingly. Each reference in this Agreement to the “Note” of such Bank shall be deemed to refer
to and include any or all of such Notes, as the context may require.

          (c) Upon receipt of each Bank’s Note pursuant to Section 3.1(a), the Administrative Agent shall
forward such Note to such Bank. Each Bank shall record the date, amount, type and maturity of each
Loan made by it and the date and amount of each payment of principal made

29

 

by the Borrower with
respect thereto, and may, if such Bank so elects in connection with any transfer or enforcement of
its Note, endorse on the appropriate schedule appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing
information with respect to each such Loan then outstanding; provided that the failure of any Bank
to make any such recordation or endorsement shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower
hereunder or under the Notes. Each Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower so to
endorse its Note and to attach to and make a part of its Note a continuation of any such schedule
as and when required.

          (d) The Loans shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, on the
Maturity Date.

          (e) There shall be no more than [ten (10)] Euro-Dollar Groups of Loans outstanding at any one
time.

          SECTION 2.7. Method of Electing Interest Rates.

          (a) The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate
specified by the Borrower in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower may from
time to time elect to change or continue the type of interest rate borne by each Group of Loans
(subject in each case to the provisions of Article VIII), as follows:

               (i) if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert all or any portion of
such Loans to Euro-Dollar Loans as of any Business Day;

               (ii) if such Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert all or any
portion of such Loans to Base Rate Loans and/or elect to continue all or any portion of such Loans
as Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period or additional Interest Periods, in each case
effective on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Loans, or on such
other date designated by Borrower in the Notice of Interest Rate Election provided Borrower shall
pay any losses pursuant to Section 2.13.

Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a “Notice of Interest Rate
Election”), signed by an Authorized Officer, to the Administrative Agent at least three (3)
Business Days before the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be effective. A
Notice of Interest Rate Election may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate
principal amount of the relevant Group of Loans; provided that (i) such portion is allocated
ratably among the Loans comprising such Group, (ii) the portion to which such Notice applies, and
the remaining portion to which it does not apply, are each $500,000 or any larger multiple of
$100,000, (iii) there shall be no more than ten (10) Euro-Dollar Groups of Loans outstanding at any
time, (iv) no Loan may be continued as, or converted into, a Euro-Dollar Loan when any Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, and (v) no Interest Period shall extend beyond the Maturity
Date.

30

 

          (b) Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify:

               (i) the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies;

               (ii) the date on which the conversion or continuation selected in such notice is to be
effective, which shall comply with the applicable clause of subsection (a) above;

               (iii) if the Loans comprising such Group are to be converted, the new type of Loans and, if
such new Loans are Euro-Dollar Loans, the duration of the initial Interest Period applicable
thereto; and

               (iv) if such Loans are to be continued as Euro-Dollar Loans for an additional Interest Period,
the duration of such additional Interest Period.

Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall comply with the
provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

          (c) Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the Borrower pursuant to subsection
(a) above, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank the same day as it receives such Notice
of Interest Rate Election of the contents thereof, the interest rates determined pursuant thereto
and the Interest Periods (if different from those requested by the Borrower) and such notice shall
not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower. If the Borrower fails to deliver a timely Notice of
Interest Rate Election to the Administrative Agent for any Group of Euro-Dollar Loans, such Loans
shall be converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day of the then current Interest Period
applicable thereto.

          SECTION 2.8. Interest Rates.

          (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for
each day from the date such Loan is made until the date it is repaid or converted into a
Euro-Dollar Loan pursuant to Section 2.7, at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the
Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans for such day.

          (b) Each Euro-Dollar Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for
each day during the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the
Applicable Margin for Euro-Dollar Loans for such day plus the Euro-Dollar Rate applicable to such
Interest Period.

          (c) Intentionally Omitted.

31

 

          (d) In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, and, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, overdue interest in respect of all Loans, shall bear interest at the annual rate
equal to the sum of the Base Rate and four percent (4%) (the “Default Rate”).

          (e) The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans
hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Banks of each
rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of
demonstrable error.

          (f) Intentionally Omitted.

          (g) Interest on all Loans (other than Base Rate Loans) shall be payable on the last Business
Day of each applicable Interest Period (provided that in the event any Interest Period ends on the
date which is 60, 90 or 180 days after the date on which any Interest Period commences, interest on
all Loans (other than Base Rate Loans) shall be payable on the first Business Day of each calendar
month during such Interest Period and on the last day of such Interest Period) and interest on Base
Rate Loans shall be payable on the first Business Day of each calendar month.

          SECTION 2.9. Mandatory Prepayments. If at any time the Borrower, EOPT or any
Consolidated Subsidiary of either or both receives any Net Bond Proceeds, Borrower shall pay to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of the Banks, within thirty(30) days after the date of such
receipt, an amount equal to the Net Bond Proceeds (but in no event more than the outstanding
balance of the Loans). Borrower shall make such prepayment together with interest accrued to the
date of the prepayment on the principal amount prepaid. In connection with the prepayment of a
Euro-Dollar Loan prior to the maturity thereof, the Borrower shall also pay any applicable expenses
pursuant to Section 2.13. Each such prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the
Banks. Amounts prepaid pursuant to this Section 2.9 may not be reborrowed and the Commitments
shall be deemed to have been reduced accordingly.

          SECTION 2.10. Maturity Date.

          (a) The term (the “Term”) of the Commitments (and each Bank’s obligations to make Loans
hereunder) shall terminate and expire on the Maturity Date.

          (b) Upon the date of the termination of the Term, any Loans then outstanding (together with
accrued interest thereon and all other Obligations) shall be due and payable on such date.

32

 

          SECTION 2.11. Optional Prepayments.

          (a) The Borrower may, upon at least one (1) Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent,
prepay any Group of Base Rate Loans, in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts
aggregating One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or any larger multiple of One Hundred Thousand Dollars
($100,000), by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to
the date of prepayment. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans
of the several Banks included in such Group or Borrowing.

          (b) The Borrower may, upon at least one (1) Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent,
prepay all or any portion of any Euro-Dollar Loan as of the last day of the Interest Period
applicable thereto. Except as provided in Article 8 and except with respect to any Euro-Dollar
Loan which has been converted to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 hereof, the
Borrower may not prepay all or any portion of the principal amount of any Euro-Dollar Loan prior to
the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto unless the Borrower shall also pay any applicable
expenses pursuant to Section 2.13. Any such prepayment shall be upon at least three (3) Business
Days notice to the Administrative Agent. Each such optional prepayment shall be in the amounts set
forth in Section 2.11(a) above and shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the Banks
included in any Group of Euro-Dollar Loans, except that any Euro-Dollar Loan which has been
converted to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 hereof
may be prepaid without ratable payment of the other Loans in such Group of Loans which have
not been so converted.

          (c) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3, any amounts so prepaid pursuant to Section
2.11(a) or (b) may not be reborrowed.

          SECTION 2.12. General Provisions as to Payments.

          (a) The Borrower shall make each payment of principal of and interest on the Loans and of fees
hereunder, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on the date when due, in
Federal or other funds immediately available in Charlotte, North Carolina, to the Administrative
Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.1. The Administrative Agent will promptly (and in
any event within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof) distribute to each Bank its ratable
share of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks. If
and to the extent that the Administrative Agent shall receive any such payment for the account of
the Banks on or before 12:00 Noon (Charlotte, North Carolina time) on any Business Day, and
Administrative Agent shall not have distributed to any Bank its applicable share of such payment on
such Business Day, Administrative Agent shall distribute such amount to such Bank together with
interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount should have been distributed to such Bank
until the date Administrative Agent distributes such amount to such Bank, at the Federal Funds
Rate. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on the Base Rate Loans or of fees shall be
due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the
next succeeding Business Day.

33

 

Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the
Euro-Dollar Loans shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof
shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day unless such Business Day falls in another
calendar month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Business
Day.

          (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the
date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder that the Borrower will not make such
payment in full, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in
full to the Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon
such assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the
amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent that the Borrower shall not have so made such
payment, each Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount
distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is
distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the Administrative Agent,
at the Federal Funds Rate.

          SECTION 2.13. Funding Losses. If the Borrower makes any payment of principal
with respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan (pursuant to Article II, VI or VIII or otherwise) on any day
other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, or if the Borrower fails to
borrow any Euro-Dollar Loans after notice has been
given to any Bank in accordance with Section 2.5(a) or 2.4(f), as applicable, or if Borrower
shall deliver a Notice of Interest Rate Election specifying that a Euro-Dollar Loan shall be
converted on a date other than the first (1st) day of the then current Interest Period applicable
thereto, the Borrower shall reimburse each Bank within 15 days after certification of such Bank of
such loss or expense (which shall be delivered by each such Bank to Administrative Agent for
delivery to Borrower) for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or by an existing
Participant in the related Loan), including, without limitation, any loss incurred in obtaining,
liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin for the period
after any such payment or failure to borrow, provided that such Bank shall have delivered to
Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent shall have delivered to the Borrower a certification
as to the amount of such loss or expense, which certification shall set forth in reasonable detail
the basis for and calculation of such loss or expense and shall be conclusive in the absence of
demonstrable error.

          SECTION 2.14. Computation of Interest and Fees. All interest based on the
Euro-Dollar Rate and fees shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the
actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). All interest
based on the Prime Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or 366 days in a leap
year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the
last day).

          SECTION 2.15. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loans for
general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, the repayment of Indebtedness, the
acquisition of real property to be used in the Borrower’s existing business and for general working
capital needs of the Borrower.

required to own its property and assets and carry on its business as now conducted or as it
presently proposes to conduct and has been duly qualified and is in good standing in every
jurisdiction in which the failure to be so qualified and/or in good standing is likely to have a

authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of each of the Loan Documents
to which it is a party and has taken all necessary partnership action, if any, to authorize the
execution and delivery on behalf of the Borrower and the performance by the Borrower of such Loan
Documents. The Borrower and
EOPT each have duly executed and delivered each Loan Document to which it is a party in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and each such Loan Document constitutes the legal,
valid and binding obligation of the Borrower and EOPT, enforceable in accordance with its terms,
except as enforceability may be limited by applicable insolvency, bankruptcy or other laws
affecting creditors rights generally, or general principles of equity, whether such enforceability
is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law. EOPT has the power and authority to execute,
deliver and carry out the terms and provisions of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party
and has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of such
Loan Documents. EOPT has the power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and
provisions of each of the Loan Documents on behalf of the Borrower to which the Borrower is a party

Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance by the Borrower with the terms and provisions
thereof nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, (i) will
materially contravene any applicable provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ,
injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (ii) will materially conflict
with or result in any breach of, any of the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or
constitute a default under, or result in the creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create
or impose) any Lien upon any of the property or assets of the Borrower or any of its Consolidated
Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or other agreement or
other instrument to which the

38

 

Borrower (or of any partnership of which the Borrower is a partner)
or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets
is bound or to which it is subject (except for such breaches and defaults under loan agreements
which the lenders thereunder have agreed to forbear pursuant to valid forbearance agreements), or
(iii) will cause a material default by the Borrower under any organizational document of any Person
in which the Borrower has an interest, or cause a material default under the Borrower’s agreement
or certificate of limited partnership, the consequences of which conflict, breach or default would
have a Material Adverse Effect, or result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien
whatsoever upon any Property (except as contemplated herein).

          (b) Neither the execution, delivery or performance by EOPT of the Loan Documents to which it
is a party, nor compliance by EOPT with the terms and provisions thereof nor the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, (i) will materially contravene any applicable
provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or
governmental instrumentality, (ii) will materially conflict with or result in any breach of, any of
the terms, covenants, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the
creation or imposition of (or the obligation to create or impose) any Lien upon any of the property
or assets of EOPT or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any indenture,
mortgage, deed of trust, or other agreement
or other instrument to which EOPT (or of any partnership of which EOPT is a partner) or any of
its Consolidated Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets is bound
or to which it is subject (except for such breaches and defaults under loan agreements which the
lenders thereunder have agreed to forbear pursuant to valid forbearance agreements), or (iii) will
cause a material default by EOPT under any organizational document of any Person in which EOPT has
an interest, the consequences of which conflict, breach or default would have a Material Adverse
Effect, or result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien whatsoever upon any Property
(except as contemplated herein).

          SECTION 4.4. Financial Information.

          (a) The consolidated balance sheets of EOPT and the Borrower as of December 31, 2004,
and the related statements of operations and cash flows of EOPT and the Borrower for the fiscal
year then ended, reported on by Ernst & Young LLP, fairly present, in conformity with GAAP, the
consolidated financial position of EOPT and the Borrower, as the case may be, as of such date and
the consolidated results of operations and cash flows for such fiscal year.

          (b) Since June 30, 2005, (i) except as may have been disclosed in writing to the Banks,
nothing has occurred prior to the Closing Date having a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) except as
set forth on Schedule 4.4(b), neither the Borrower nor EOPT has incurred any material indebtedness
or guaranty on or before the Closing Date.

39

 

          SECTION 4.5. Litigation. Except as previously disclosed by the Borrower in writing
to the Banks, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending against, or to the
knowledge of the Borrower threatened against or affecting, (i) the Borrower, EOPT or any of their
Consolidated Subsidiaries, (ii) the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by the
Loan Documents or (iii) any of their assets, before any court or arbitrator or any governmental
body, agency or official in which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse decision which
could, individually, or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect or which in any manner
draws into question the validity of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. As of the Closing
Date, no such action, suit or proceeding exists.

          SECTION 4.6. Compliance with ERISA. Except for a “prohibited transaction”
arising solely because of a Bank’s breach of the covenant set forth in Section 9.17 hereof, the
transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents will not constitute a nonexempt prohibited
transaction (as such term is defined in Section 4975 of the Code or Section 406 of ERISA) that
could subject the Administrative Agent or any of the Banks to any tax or penalty on prohibited
transactions imposed under Section 4975 of the Code or Section 502(i) of ERISA and such
transactions will not otherwise result in the Administrative Agent or any of the Banks being deemed
in violation of Sections 404 or 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or in the Administrative
Agent or any of the Banks being a fiduciary or party in interest under ERISA or a “disqualified
person” as defined in Section
4975(e)(2) of the Code with respect to an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of
Section 3(3) of ERISA or a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code. No assets
of Borrower constitute “assets” (within the meaning of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code,
including, but not limited to, 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 or any successor regulation thereto) of
an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA or a “plan” within the
meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code. In addition to the prohibitions set forth in this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and not in limitation thereof, Borrower covenants and
agrees that Borrower shall not use any “assets” (within the meaning of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code, including but not limited to 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101) of an “employee benefit plan”
within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA or a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of
the Code to repay or secure the Note, the Loan, or the Obligations.

          SECTION 4.7. Environmental. The Borrower conducts reviews of the effect of
Environmental Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Borrower and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries when necessary in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated
liabilities and costs (including, without limitation, any capital or operating expenditures
required for clean-up or closure of properties presently owned, any capital or operating
expenditures required to achieve or maintain compliance with environmental protection standards
imposed by law or as a condition of any license, permit or contract, any related constraints on
operating activities, and any actual or potential liabilities to third parties, including, without
limitation, employees, and any related costs and expenses). On the basis of this review, the
Borrower has reasonably concluded that such associated liabilities and costs, including, without
limitation, the costs of compliance with Environmental Laws, are unlikely to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

40

 

          SECTION 4.8. Taxes. The Borrower, EOPT and their Consolidated Subsidiaries have
filed all United States Federal income tax returns and all other material tax returns which are
required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to
any assessment received by the Borrower, EOPT or any Consolidated Subsidiary, except such taxes, if
any, as are reserved against in accordance with GAAP, such taxes as are being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings or such taxes, the failure to make payment of which when due and
payable will not have, in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and
reserves on the books of the Borrower, EOPT and their Consolidated Subsidiaries in respect of taxes
or other governmental charges are, in the opinion of the Borrower, adequate.

          SECTION 4.9. Full Disclosure. All information heretofore furnished by the Borrower
to the Administrative Agent or any Bank for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any
transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is true and accurate in all material respects on the
date as of which such information is stated or certified. The Borrower has disclosed to the
Administrative Agent, in writing any and all facts which have or may have (to the extent the
Borrower can now reasonably foresee) a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 4.10. Solvency. On the Closing Date and after giving effect to the
transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents occurring on the Closing Date, the Borrower and
EOPT will be Solvent.

          SECTION 4.11. Use of Proceeds. All proceeds of the Loans will be used by the
Borrower only in accordance with the provisions hereof. Neither the making of any Loan nor the use
of the proceeds thereof will violate or be inconsistent with the provisions of regulations T, U, or
X of the Federal Reserve Board.

          SECTION 4.12. Governmental Approvals. No order, consent, approval, license,
authorization, or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any
Governmental Authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to authorize, or is required in
connection with the execution, delivery and performance of any Loan Document or the consummation of
any of the transactions contemplated thereby other than those that have already been duly made or
obtained and remain in full force and effect or those which, if not made or obtained, would not
have a Material Adverse Effect;

          SECTION 4.13. Investment Company Act; Public Utility Holding Company Act. Neither
the Borrower, EOPT nor any Consolidated Subsidiary is (x) an “investment company” or a company
“controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
as amended, (y) a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” or an
“affiliate” of either a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” within the meaning of the
Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as amended, or (z) subject to any other federal or
state law or regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.

41

 

          SECTION 4.14. Principal Offices. As of the Closing Date, the principal office,
chief executive office and principal place of business of the Borrower is Two North Riverside
Plaza, Chicago, Illinois 60606.

          SECTION 4.15. REIT Status. EOPT is qualified and EOPT intends to continue to
qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Code.

          SECTION 4.16. Patents, Trademarks, etc. The Borrower has obtained and holds in full
force and effect all patents, trademarks, servicemarks, trade names, copyrights and other such
rights, free from burdensome restrictions, which are necessary for the operation of its business as
presently conducted, the impairment of which is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 4.17. Judgments. There are no final, non-appealable judgments or decrees in
an aggregate amount of Five Million Dollars
($5,000,000) or more entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction against EOPT or
the Borrower or, to the extent such judgment would be recourse to EOPT or Borrower, any of its
Consolidated Subsidiaries (other than judgments as to which, and only to the extent, a reputable
insurance company has acknowledged coverage of such claim in writing or which have been paid or
stayed).

          SECTION 4.18. No Default. No Event of Default or, to the best of the Borrower’s
knowledge, Default exists under or with respect to any Loan Document and neither the Borrower nor
EOPT is in default in any material respect beyond any applicable grace period under or with respect
to any other material agreement, instrument or undertaking to which it is a party or by which it or
any of its property is bound in any respect, the existence of which default is likely to result in
a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 4.19. Licenses, etc. The Borrower has obtained and does hold in full force
and effect, all franchises, licenses, permits, certificates, authorizations, qualifications,
accreditation, easements, rights of way and other consents and approvals which are necessary for
the operation of its businesses as presently conducted, the absence of which is likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 4.20. Compliance With Law. To the Borrower’s knowledge, the Borrower
and each of its Real Property Assets are in compliance with all laws, rules, regulations, orders,
judgments, writs and decrees, including, without limitation, all building and zoning ordinances and
codes, the failure to comply with which is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 4.21. No Burdensome Restrictions. Except as may have been disclosed by the
Borrower in writing to the Banks, Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject
to any other obligation or any charter or corporate or partnership restriction, as the case may be,
which, individually or in the aggregate, is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

42

 

          SECTION 4.22. Brokers’ Fees. The Borrower has not dealt with any broker or finder
with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise in connection with
this Agreement, and the Borrower has not done any act, had any negotiations or conversation, or
made any agreements or promises which will in any way create or give rise to any obligation or
liability for the payment by the Borrower of any brokerage fee, charge, commission or other
compensation to any party with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents,
other than the fees payable to the Administrative Agent, the Lead Arrangers and the Banks, and
certain other Persons as previously disclosed in writing to the Administrative Agent.

has delivered to the Administrative Agent true, correct and complete copies, as of the Closing
Date, of each such documents, except for exhibits to Borrower’s partnership agreement identifying
the current list of partners which, with the permission of the Banks, has been omitted therefrom.
EOPT holds (directly or indirectly) an 89.06% ownership interest in the Borrower as of the date
hereof.

          SECTION 4.26. Qualifying Unencumbered Properties. As of [June 30, 2005],
each Property listed on Schedule 1.1 as a Qualifying Unencumbered Property (i) is an operating
Office Building or Parking Property wholly-owned or ground leased (directly or beneficially) by
Borrower, a Financing Partnership or a Joint Venture Subsidiary, (ii) is not subject (nor are any
equity interests in such Property that are owned directly or indirectly by Borrower, EOPT or any
Joint Venture Parent subject) to a Lien which secures Indebtedness of any Person, other than
Permitted Liens, and (iii) is not subject (nor are any equity interests in such Property that are
owned directly or indirectly by Borrower, EOPT or Joint Venture Parent subject) to any Negative
Pledge. All of the information set forth on Schedule 1.1 is true and correct in all material

result in a violation of, or expose the Borrower, EOPT or their Subsidiaries to any material
liability under, any applicable law, ordinance or regulation or any agreements with unaffiliated
third parties that are binding on the Borrower, EOPT or any of their Subsidiaries or on any
Property of any of them.

46

 

          SECTION 5.2. Payment of Obligations. The Borrower, EOPT and their Consolidated
Subsidiaries will pay and discharge, at or before maturity, all their respective material
obligations and liabilities including, without limitation, any obligation pursuant to any agreement
by which it or any of its properties is bound, in each case where the failure to so pay or
discharge such obligations or liabilities is likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect, and
will maintain in accordance with GAAP, appropriate reserves for the accrual of any of the same.

          SECTION 5.3. Maintenance of Property; Insurance; Leases.

          (a) The Borrower will keep, and will cause each Consolidated Subsidiary to keep, all property
useful and necessary in its business, including without limitation its Real Property Assets (for so
long as it constitutes Real Property Assets), in good repair, working order and condition, ordinary
wear and tear excepted, in each case where the failure to so maintain and repair will have a
Material Adverse Effect.

          (b) The Borrower shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, insurance at 100% replacement cost
insurance coverage (subject to customary deductibles) in respect of each of its Real Property
Assets, as well as commercial general liability insurance (including, without limitation,
“builders’ risk” where applicable) against claims for personal, and bodily injury and/or death, to
one or more persons, or property damage, as well as workers’ compensation insurance, in each case
with respect to liability and casualty insurance with insurers having an A.M. Best policyholders’
rating of not less than A-VII in amounts that prudent owners of assets such as Borrower’s directly
or indirectly owned Real Property Assets would maintain; provided, however, that such coverages and
amounts are available to Borrower at commercially reasonable rates. The Borrower will deliver to
the Administrative Agent upon the reasonable request of the Administrative Agent from time to time
(i) full information as to the insurance carried, (ii) within five (5) days of receipt of notice
from any insurer a copy of any notice of cancellation or material change in coverage from that

          SECTION 5.4. Maintenance of Existence. The Borrower and EOPT each will preserve,
renew and keep in full force and effect, its partnership and trust existence and its respective
rights, privileges and franchises necessary for the normal conduct of business unless the failure

          SECTION 5.5. Compliance with Laws. The Borrower and EOPT will, and will cause
their Subsidiaries to, comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, ordinances, rules,
regulations, and requirements of governmental authorities (including, without limitation,
Environmental Laws, and all zoning and building codes with respect to its Real Property Assets and
ERISA and the rules and regulations thereunder and all federal securities laws) except where the
necessity of compliance therewith is contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings or where
the failure to do

47

 

so will not have a Material Adverse Effect or expose Administrative Agent or
Banks to any material liability therefor.

          SECTION 5.6. Inspection of Property, Books and Records. The Borrower will keep
proper books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries shall be made of all
dealings and transactions in relation to its business and activities in conformity with GAAP,
modified as required by this Agreement and applicable law; and will permit representatives of any
Bank at such Bank’s expense to visit and inspect any of its properties, including without
limitation its Real Property Assets, and so long as disclosure of such information could not result
in a violation of, or expose the Borrower, EOPT or their Subsidiaries to any material liability
under, any applicable law, ordinance or regulation or any agreements with unaffiliated third
parties that are binding on the Borrower, EOPT or any of their Subsidiaries or on any Property of
any of them, to examine and make abstracts from any of its books and records and to discuss its
affairs, finances and accounts with its officers and independent public accountants, all at such
reasonable times during normal business hours, upon reasonable prior notice and as often as may
reasonably be
desired. Administrative Agent shall coordinate any such visit or inspection to arrange for
review by any Bank requesting any such visit or inspection.

Subsidiaries’ existence and its patents, trademarks, servicemarks, tradenames, copyrights,
franchises, licenses, permits, certificates, authorizations, qualifications, accreditation,
easements, rights of way and other rights, consents and approvals the nonexistence of which is
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 5.8. Financial Covenants.

          (a) Total Debt to Total Asset Value. The Borrower shall not permit the ratio of Total
Debt to Total Asset Value of Borrower to exceed 0.60:1 at any time; provided, however, that with
respect to any Fiscal Quarter in which Borrower acquired any Real Property Assets, the ratio of
Total Debt to Total Asset Value of Borrower for such Fiscal Quarter and for the next succeeding
Fiscal Quarter may exceed 0.60:1, provided that such ratio in no event shall exceed 0.65:1, and
provided, further, that thereafter such ratio shall not exceed 0.60:1.

          (b) Cash Flow to Fixed Charges Ratio. Borrower shall not permit the ratio of Cash
Flow for the then most recently completed Fiscal Quarter to Fixed Charges for the then most
recently completed Fiscal Quarter to be less than 1.5:1.

          (c) Secured Debt to Total Asset Value. Borrower shall not permit the ratio of Secured
Debt to Total Asset Value of Borrower to exceed 0.40:1 at any time.

          (d) Unencumbered Pool. Borrower shall not permit the ratio of the outstanding
Unsecured Debt to Unencumbered Asset Value to exceed 0.60:1 at any time; provided, however, that

48

 

with respect to any Fiscal Quarter in which Borrower acquired any Real Property Assets, the ratio
of Unsecured Debt to Unencumbered Asset Value of Borrower for such Fiscal Quarter and for the next
succeeding Fiscal Quarter may exceed 0.60:1, provided that such ratio in no event shall exceed
0.65:1, and provided, further, that thereafter such ratio shall not exceed 0.60:1.

          (e) Permitted Holdings. Borrower’s primary business will be the ownership, operation
and development of Office Properties and Parking Properties and any other business activities of
Borrower and its Subsidiaries will remain incidental thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Borrower and its Subsidiaries may acquire or maintain Permitted Holdings if and so long as the
aggregate value of Permitted Holdings, whether held directly or indirectly by Borrower does not
exceed, at any time, thirty percent (30%) of Total Asset Value of Borrower unless a greater
percentage is approved by the Majority Banks (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld,
conditioned or delayed).

          (f) No Liens. Borrower and EOPT shall not, and shall not allow any of their
Subsidiaries, Financing Partnerships or Joint Venture Subsidiaries to, allow any Qualifying
Unencumbered Property (or any equity interests in such Property that are owned directly or
indirectly by Borrower, EOPT or any Joint Venture Parent), that is necessary to comply with the
provisions of Section 5.8(d) hereof, to become subject to a Lien that secures the Indebtedness of
any Person, other than Permitted Liens or Liens securing obligations under the Existing Revolving
Credit Agreement.

          (g) Calculation. Calculations of ratios and financial requirements shall be made as of
the last day of each Fiscal Quarter.

          SECTION 5.9. Restriction on Fundamental Changes.

          (a) Neither the Borrower nor EOPT shall enter into any merger or consolidation without
obtaining the prior written consent thereto in writing of the Majority Banks, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, unless (i) the Borrower or EOPT is the
surviving entity, (ii) the entity which is merged into Borrower or EOPT is predominantly in the
commercial real estate business, (iii) the creditworthiness of the surviving entity’s long term
unsecured debt or implied senior debt, as applicable, is not lower than Borrower’s or EOPT’s
creditworthiness two months immediately preceding such merger, and (iv) the then fair market value
of the assets of the entity which is merged into the Borrower or EOPT is less than twenty-five
percent (25%) of the Borrower’s or EOPT’s then Total Asset Value following such merger. Neither
the Borrower nor EOPT shall liquidate, wind-up or dissolve (or suffer any liquidation or
dissolution), discontinue its business or convey, lease, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, in
one transaction or series of transactions, all or substantially all of its business or property,
whether now or hereafter acquired. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed to prohibit the sale or
leasing of portions of the Real Property Assets in the ordinary course of business.

49

 

          (b) The Borrower shall not amend its agreement of limited partnership or other organizational
documents in any manner that would have a Material Adverse Effect without the Majority Banks’
consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Without limitation of
the foregoing, no Person shall be admitted as a general partner of the Borrower other than EOPT.
EOPT shall not amend its declaration of trust, by-laws, or other organizational documents in any
manner that would have a Material Adverse Effect without the Majority Banks’ consent, which shall
not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. The Borrower shall not make any “in-kind”
transfer of any of its property or assets to any of its constituent partners if such transfer would
result in an Event of Default under Section 6.1(b) by reason of a breach of the provisions of
Section 5.8.

          (c) Subject to the provisions of clause (b) above, the Borrower shall deliver to
Administrative Agent copies of all amendments to its agreement of limited partnership or to
EOPT’s declaration of trust, by-laws, or other organizational documents no less than ten (10)
days after the effective date of any such amendment.

          SECTION 5.10. Changes in Business.

          (a) Except for Permitted Holdings, neither the Borrower nor EOPT shall enter into any business
which is substantially different from that conducted by the Borrower or EOPT on the Closing Date
after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents. The Borrower shall
carry on its business operations through the Borrower, its Consolidated Subsidiaries and its
Investment Affiliates.

          (b) Except for Permitted Holdings, Borrower shall not engage in any line of business other
than ownership, operation and development of Office Properties and Parking Properties and the

5.13. Forward Equity Contracts. If Borrower shall enter into any forward
equity contracts, Borrower may only settle the same by delivery of stock, it being agreed that if

the Borrower or EOPT rather than a liability of the Plan, the liability of the Borrower or EOPT) is
equal to or greater than $20,000,000 and which the Administrative Agent reasonably determines will
have a Material Adverse Effect;

hereunder shall automatically become immediately due and payable, with all additional interest
from time to time accrued thereon and without presentation, demand, or protest or other
requirements of any kind (including, without limitation, valuation and appraisement, diligence,
presentment, notice of intent to demand or accelerate and notice of acceleration), all of which are
hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any

remedies permitted the Administrative Agent and the Banks at law or equity or under any of the
other Loan Documents, declare that the Commitments are terminated and declare the unpaid principal
amount of and any and all accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and any and all accrued fees and
other Obligations hereunder to be, and the same shall thereupon be, immediately due and payable

(including, without limitation, valuation and appraisement, diligence, presentment, notice of
intent to demand or accelerate and notice of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly
waived by the Borrower.

          (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan

the rights and remedies granted to the Administrative Agent or the Banks under this Agreement or at
law or in equity with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Documents shall be commenced and
maintained by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Administrative Agent and/or the Banks. The
Administrative Agent shall act at the direction of the Majority Banks in connection with the
exercise of any and all remedies at law, in equity or under any of the Loan Documents or, if the

55

 

Majority Banks are unable to reach agreement, then, from and after an Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent may pursue such rights and remedies as it may determine.

          SECTION 6.3. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall give notice
to the Borrower under Section 6.1(c) and 6.1(d) promptly upon being requested to do so by the
Majority Banks and shall thereupon notify all the Banks thereof. The Administrative Agent shall

(other than nonpayment of principal of or interest on the Loans) unless Administrative Agent has
received notice in writing from a Bank or Borrower referring to this Agreement or the other Loan
Documents, describing such event or condition. Should Administrative Agent receive notice of the
occurrence of an Default or Event of Default expressly stating that such notice is a notice of an
Default or Event of Default, or should Administrative Agent send Borrower a notice of Default or

of the Loans (giving effect to any participations granted therein pursuant to Section 2.3 and Section 9.4).

ARTICLE VII

THE AGENTS

          SECTION 7.1. Appointment and Authorization. Each Bank irrevocably appoints and
authorizes the Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent to take such action as agent on its
behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are
delegated to the Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent by the terms hereof or thereof,
together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Except as set forth in Sections
7.8 and 7.9 hereof, the provisions of this Article VII are solely for the benefit of Administrative
Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Banks, and Borrower shall not have any rights to rely on or
enforce any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement,
Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent shall each act solely as an agent of the Banks and
do not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of
agency or trust with or for the Borrower.

          SECTION 7.2. Agency and Affiliates. Wachovia Bank, National Association shall have
the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may exercise or refrain from
exercising the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and Wachovia Bank, National
Association and its affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any
kind

56

 

of business with the Borrower, EOPT or any Subsidiary or affiliate of the Borrower as if it
were not the Administrative Agent hereunder, and the term “Bank” and “Banks” shall include Wachovia
Bank, National Association in its individual capacity.

          SECTION 7.3. Action by Administrative Agent and Syndication Agent. The
obligations of the Administrative Agent and Syndication Agent hereunder are only those expressly
set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and
Syndication Agent shall not be required to take any action with respect to any Default or Event of
Default, except as expressly provided in Article VI. The duties of Administrative Agent and
Syndication Agent shall be administrative in nature. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.1,
7.5 and 7.6, Administrative Agent shall use the same care in the administration of the Loans in
the same manner as Administrative Agent uses in the administration of its own loans.

          SECTION 7.4. Consultation with Experts. As between Administrative Agent and
Syndication Agent on the one hand and the Banks on the other hand, the Administrative Agent and
Syndication Agent may
consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent public
accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants
or experts.

          SECTION 7.5. Liability of Administrative Agent. As between Administrative Agent on
the one hand and the Banks on the other hand, none of the Administrative Agent nor any of its
affiliates nor any Agent-Related Person, shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in
connection herewith (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Banks or (ii) in the
absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. As between Administrative Agent on the
one hand and the Banks on the other hand, none of the Administrative Agent nor any Agent-Related
Person, shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into or verify: (i) any
statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this Agreement or any borrowing
hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the
Borrower; (iii) the satisfaction of any condition specified in Article III, except receipt of items
required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent; or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or
genuineness of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or any other instrument or writing
furnished in connection herewith. As between Administrative Agent and the Agent-Related Persons on
the one hand and the Banks on the other hand, neither the Administrative Agent nor the
Agent-Related Persons shall incur any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent,
certificate, statement, or other writing (which may be a bank wire, telex or similar writing)
believed by it to be genuine or to be signed by the proper party or parties.

          SECTION 7.6. Indemnification. Each Bank shall, ratably in accordance with
its Commitment, indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Agent-Related Person and their
affiliates and its directors, officers, agents and employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the
Borrower) against any cost, expense (including, without limitation, counsel fees and
disbursements), claim, demand, action,

57

 

loss or liability (except such as result from such
indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) that such indemnitee may suffer or incur in
connection with its duties as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents
or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitee hereunder. In the event that the Administrative
Agent or any Agent-Related Person shall, subsequent to its receipt of indemnification payment(s)
from Banks in accordance with this section, recoup any amount from the Borrower, or any other party
liable therefor in connection with such indemnification, the Administrative Agent or such
Agent-Related Person shall reimburse the Banks which previously made the payment(s) pro rata, based
upon the actual amounts which were theretofore paid by each Bank. The Administrative Agent or such
Agent-Related Person shall reimburse such Banks so entitled to reimbursement within two (2)
Business Days of its receipt of such funds from the Borrower or such other party liable therefor.

          SECTION 7.7. Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently
and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent or any other Bank or
Agent-Related Person, and based on such
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent or any other Bank or
Agent-Related Person, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at
the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under this
Agreement.

          SECTION 7.8. Successor Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent. The
Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to
the Banks, the Borrower and each other. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall resign in the
event its Commitment (without participations) is reduced to less than Thirty Million Dollars
($30,000,000), unless as a result of a cancellation or reduction in the aggregate Commitments.
Upon any such resignation, the Majority Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor
Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent, as applicable, which successor Administrative Agent or
successor Syndication Agent (as applicable) shall, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is
then continuing, be subject to Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, conditioned or delayed. If no successor Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent (as
applicable) shall have been so appointed by the Majority Banks and approved by the Borrower, and
shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent or
Syndication Agent (as applicable) gives notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative
Agent, or retiring Syndication Agent (as applicable) may, on behalf of the Banks, appoint a
successor Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent (as applicable), which shall be the
Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent as the case may be, who shall act until the Majority
Banks shall appoint an Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent. Any appointment of a successor
Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent by Majority Banks or the retiring Administrative Agent or
the Syndication Agent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall, provided no Event of Default has
occurred and is then continuing, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. Upon the

58

 

acceptance of its appointment as the
Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent or
successor Syndication Agent, as applicable, such successor Administrative Agent, or successor
Syndication Agent, as applicable, shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights
and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or retiring Syndication Agent, as applicable, and
the retiring Administrative Agent or the retiring Syndication Agent, as applicable, shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s
or retiring Syndication Agent’s resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article shall inure
to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative
Agent or the Syndication Agent, as applicable. For gross negligence or willful misconduct, as
determined by all the Banks (excluding for such determination Administrative Agent in its capacity
as a Bank, as applicable), Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent may be removed at any time by
giving at least thirty (30) Business Days prior written notice to Administrative Agent, Syndication
Agent and Borrower. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the
acceptance of appointment by a successor Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent, as applicable, in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.8.

     SECTION 7.9. Consents and Approvals. All communications from Administrative Agent
to the Banks requesting the Banks’ determination, consent, approval or disapproval (i) shall be
given in the form of a written notice to each Bank, (ii) shall be accompanied by a description of
the matter or item as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested,
or shall advise each Bank where such matter or item may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe
the matter or issue to be resolved, (iii) shall include, if reasonably requested by a Bank and to
the extent not previously provided to such Bank, written materials and a summary of all oral
information provided to Administrative Agent by Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be
resolved, and (iv) shall include Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or
determination in respect thereof. Each Bank shall reply promptly, but in any event within ten (10)
Business Days after receipt of the request therefor from Administrative Agent (the “Bank Reply
Period”). Unless a Bank shall give written notice to Administrative Agent that it objects to
the recommendation or determination of Administrative Agent (together with a written explanation of
the reasons behind such objection) within the Bank Reply Period, such Bank shall be deemed to have
approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination. With respect to decisions
requiring the approval of the Majority Banks or all the Banks, Administrative Agent shall submit
its recommendation or determination for approval of or consent to such recommendation or
determination to all Banks and upon receiving the required approval or consent shall follow the
course of action or determination of the Majority Banks or all the Banks (and each non-responding
Bank shall be deemed to have concurred with such recommended course of action), as the case may be.

ARTICLE VIII

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

          SECTION 8.1. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If
on or prior to the first day of any Interest Period for any Euro-Dollar Borrowing the
Administrative Agent determines in good faith that deposits in dollars (in the applicable amounts)
are not being offered in the relevant market for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent
shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks, whereupon until the
Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no
longer exist, the obligations of the Banks to make Euro-Dollar Loans shall be suspended. Unless
the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent at least two Business Days before the date of any
Euro-Dollar Borrowing for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it elects not
to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing.

          SECTION 8.2. Illegality. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption
of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation,
or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority,
central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether
or not having the force of law) made after the Closing Date of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency shall make it unlawful for any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) to make,
maintain or fund its Euro-Dollar Loans, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice
thereof to the other Banks and the Borrower, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the
obligation of such Bank in case of the event described above to make Euro-Dollar Loans, shall be
suspended. With respect to Euro-Dollar Loans, before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to this Section, such Bank shall designate a different Euro-Dollar Lending Office if such
designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Bank,
be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully
continue to maintain and fund any of its outstanding Euro-Dollar Loans to maturity and shall so
specify in such notice, the Borrower shall be deemed to have delivered a Notice of Interest Rate
Election and such Euro-Dollar Loan shall be converted as of such date to a Base Rate Loan (without
payment of any amounts that Borrower would otherwise be obligated to pay pursuant to Section 2.13
hereof with respect to Loans converted pursuant to this Section 8.2) in an equal principal amount
from such Bank (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related
Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks), and such Bank shall make such a Base Rate Loan.

          If at any time, it shall be unlawful for any Bank to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Dollar
Loans, the Borrower shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Day’s notice to the Administrative
Agent, to either (x) cause a bank, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to

60

 

offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank’s outstanding Loans, and to
become a Bank hereunder, or obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to offer to purchase
the Commitments of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is hereby required to accept,
or (y) to repay in full all Loans then outstanding of such Bank, together with interest and all
other amounts due thereon, upon which event, such Bank’s Commitments shall be deemed to be canceled
pursuant to Section 2.11(e).

          SECTION 8.3. Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

          (a) If, on or after the date hereof in the case of Loans made pursuant to Section 2.1,
the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule
or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental
Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration
thereof, or compliance by any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) made at the Closing Date of any
such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall impose, modify or deem applicable any
reserve (including, without limitation, any such requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System), special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against
assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable
Lending Office) or shall impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the interbank
market any other condition materially more burdensome in nature, extent or consequence than those
in existence as of the Loan Effective Date affecting such Bank’s Euro-Dollar Loans, its Note, or
its obligation to make Euro-Dollar Loans, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the
cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Euro-Dollar Loan,
or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending
Office) under this Agreement or under its Note with respect to such Euro-Dollar Loans, by an amount
deemed by such Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts
(based upon a reasonable allocation thereof by such Bank to the Euro-Dollar Loans made by such Bank
hereunder) as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction to the extent such
Bank generally imposes such additional amounts on other borrowers of such Bank in similar
circumstances.

          (b) If any Bank shall have reasonably determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of
any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any such law,
rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any
Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not
having the force of law) made after the Closing Date of any such authority, central bank or
comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such
Bank (or its Parent) as a consequence of such Bank’s obligations hereunder to a level below that
which such Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such adoption, change, request or
directive (taking into consideration its

61

 

policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount
reasonably deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to time, within 15 days after demand
by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or its Parent) for such reduction to the
extent such Bank generally imposes such additional amounts on other borrowers of such Bank in
similar circumstances.

          (c) Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any
event of which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to
compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if
such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not,
in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such Bank
shall fail to notify Borrower of any such event within 90 days following the end of the month
during which such event occurred, then Borrower’s liability for any amounts described in this
Section incurred by such Bank as a result of such event shall be limited to those attributable to
the period occurring subsequent to the ninetieth (90th) day prior to the date upon which such Bank
actually notified Borrower of the
occurrence of such event. A certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section
and setting forth a reasonably detailed calculation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid
to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. In determining such
amount, such Bank may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

          (d) If at any time, any Bank shall be owed amounts pursuant to this Section 8.3, the Borrower
shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent to either (x)
cause a bank, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to offer to purchase the
Commitments of such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank’s outstanding Loans, and to become a Bank
hereunder, or to obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to offer to purchase the
Commitments of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is hereby required to accept, or
(y) to repay in full all Loans then outstanding of such Bank, together with interest and all other
amounts due thereon, upon which event, such Bank’s Commitment shall be deemed to be canceled
pursuant to Section 2.11(e).

          SECTION 8.4. Taxes.

          (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Bank or the
Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free and clear of and
without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions,
charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each
Bank and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise taxes imposed on it,
by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may
be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Bank, taxes imposed
on its income, and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction of such Bank’s
Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof or by any other jurisdiction (or any
political

62

 

subdivision thereof) as a result of a present or former connection between such Bank or
Administrative Agent and such other jurisdiction or by the United States (all such non-excluded
taxes, duties, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter
referred to as “Non-Excluded Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct
any Non-Excluded Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any Note, (i) the
sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including, without limitation, deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section
8.4) such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum
it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such
deductions, (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation
authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) the Borrower shall furnish
to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.1, the original or a certified
copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

          (b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary
taxes and any other excise or property taxes, or charges or similar levies which arise from any
payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with
respect to, this Agreement or any Note (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

          (c) In the event that Non-Excluded Taxes not imposed on the Closing Date are imposed, or
Non-Excluded Taxes imposed on the Closing Date increase, the applicable Bank shall notify the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such event in writing within a reasonable period following
receipt of knowledge thereof. If such Bank shall fail to notify Borrower of any such event within
ninety (90) days following the end of the month during which such event occurred, then Borrower’s
liability for such additional Non-Excluded Taxes incurred by such Bank as a result of such event
(including payment of a make-whole amount under Section 8.4(a)(i)) shall be limited to those
attributable to the period occurring subsequent to the ninetieth (90th) day prior to, but
excluding, the date upon which such Bank actually notified Borrower of the occurrence of such
event.

          (d) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Bank and the Administrative Agent for the full
amount of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Non-Excluded Taxes
or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 8.4)
paid by such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and, so long as such Bank or
Administrative Agent has promptly paid any such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, any liability
for penalties and interest arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall
be made within 15 days from the date such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be)
makes demand therefor.

          (e) Each Bank organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or
prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank listed
on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank in the case of
each other Bank, shall provide the Borrower with (A) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue

63

 

Service form 1001, or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, and (B) an
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by
the Internal Revenue Service, and shall provide Borrower with two further copies of any such form
or certification on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes
obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form
previously delivered by it to Borrower, certifying (i) in the case of a Form 1001, that such Bank
is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which
reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income
receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or
business in the United States, and (ii) in the case of being under Sections 1442(c)(1) and 1442(a)
of the Internal Revenue Code, that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup
withholding tax. If the form provided by a Bank at the time such Bank first becomes a party to
this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero,
withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded from “Non-Excluded Taxes” as defined in
Section 8.4(a).

          (f) For any period with respect to which a Bank has failed to provide the Borrower with
the appropriate form pursuant to Section 8.4(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty,
law or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally
was required to be provided), such Bank shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section
8.4(c) with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States; provided,
however, that should a Bank, which is otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of
withholding tax, become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form
required hereunder, the Borrower shall take such steps as such Bank shall reasonably request to
assist such Bank to recover such Taxes so long as Borrower shall incur no cost or liability as a
result thereof.

          (g) Upon reasonable demand by Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any Bank, the
Administrative Agent or Bank, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Borrower, or to such
government or taxing authority as the Borrower may reasonably direct, any form or document that may
be required or reasonably requested in writing in order to allow the Borrower to make a payment to
or for the account of such Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan
Document without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Non-Excluded Taxes or with
such deduction or withholding at a reduced rate (so long as the completion, execution or submission
of such form or document would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the
party in receipt of such demand), with any such form or document to be accurate and completed in a
manner reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower making such demand and to be executed and to be
delivered with any reasonably required certification.

          (h) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Bank
pursuant to this Section 8.4, then such Bank will change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending
Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such
change, in the judgment of such Bank, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

64

 

          (i) If at any time, any Bank shall be owed amounts pursuant to this Section 8.4, the Borrower
shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent to either (x)
cause a bank, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to offer to purchase the
Commitments of such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank’s outstanding Loans, and to become a Bank
hereunder, or to obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to offer to purchase the
Commitments of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is hereby required to accept, or
(y) to repay in full all Loans then outstanding of such Bank, together with interest and all other
amounts due thereon, upon which event, such Bank’s Commitment shall be deemed to be canceled
pursuant to Section 2.11(c).

          SECTION 8.5. Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Euro-Dollar Loans.
If (i) the obligation of any Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to Section
8.2 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.3 or 8.4 with respect to its
Euro-Dollar Loans and the Borrower shall, by at least five Business Days’ prior notice to such Bank
through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall
apply to such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies the Borrower that the
circumstances giving rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist:

          (a) Borrower shall be deemed to have delivered a Notice of Interest Rate Election with respect
to such affected Euro-Dollar Loans and thereafter all Loans which would otherwise be made by such
Bank as Euro-Dollar Loans shall be made instead as Base Rate Loans (on which interest and principal
shall be payable contemporaneously with the related Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks), and

          (b) after each of its Euro-Dollar Loans has been repaid, all payments of principal which would
otherwise be applied to repay such Euro-Dollar Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans
instead, and

          (c) Borrower will not be required to make any payment which would otherwise be required by
Section 2.13 with respect to such Euro-Dollar Loans converted to Base Rate Loans pursuant to clause
(a) above.

          SECTION 9.2. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or
any Bank in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a
waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further

herein provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

          SECTION 9.3. Expenses; Indemnification.

          (a) The Borrower shall pay within thirty (30) days after written notice from the
Administrative Agent, (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative
Agent (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of special counsel Skadden,
Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP), in connection with the preparation of this Agreement, the Loan
Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein, and any waiver or consent
hereunder or any amendment hereof or any Default or alleged Default hereunder, (ii) all reasonable

counsel for the Administrative Agent and each of the Banks, in connection with the enforcement of
the Loan Documents and the instruments referred to therein and such Event of Default and
collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom;
provided, however, that the attorneys’ fees and disbursements for which Borrower is
obligated under this subsection (a)(iii) shall be limited to the reasonable non-duplicative fees
and disbursements of (A) counsel for Administrative Agent, and (B) counsel for all of the Banks as
a group; and provided, further, that all other costs and expenses for which Borrower is obligated
under this subsection (a)(iii) shall be limited to the reasonable non-duplicative costs and
expenses of Administrative Agent. For purposes of this Section 9.3(a)(iii), (1)

66

 

counsel for
Administrative Agent shall mean a single outside law firm representing Administrative Agent, and
(2) counsel for all of the Banks as a group shall mean a single outside law firm representing such
Banks as a group (which law firm may or may not be the same law firm representing Administrative
Agent).

          (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Bank, their
respective affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing
(each an “Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all
liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in
connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding that may at any time
(including, without limitation, at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be asserted
against any Indemnitee, as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason
of, (i) any of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or the execution, delivery or
performance of any Loan Document, (ii) any violation by the Borrower or the Environmental
Affiliates of any applicable Environmental Law, (iii) any Environmental Claim arising out of
the management, use, control, ownership or operation of property or assets by the Borrower or any
of the Environmental Affiliates, including, without limitation, all on-site and off-site activities
of Borrower or any Environmental Affiliate involving Materials of Environmental Concern, (iv) the
breach of any environmental representation or warranty set forth herein, but excluding those
liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (a) for which such Indemnitee has been compensated
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (b) incurred solely by reason of the gross negligence,
willful misconduct bad faith or fraud of any Indemnitee as finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction, (c) arising from violations of Environmental Laws relating to a Property
which are caused by the act or omission of such Indemnitee after such Indemnitee takes possession
of such Property or (d) owing by such Indemnitee to any third party based upon contractual
obligations of such Indemnitee owing to such third party which are not expressly set forth in the
Loan Documents. In addition, the indemnification set forth in this Section 9.3(b) in favor of any
director, officer, agent or employee of Administrative Agent or any Bank shall be solely in their
respective capacities as such director, officer, agent or employee. The Borrower’s obligations
under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of the
Obligations. Without limitation of the other provisions of this Section 9.3, Borrower shall
indemnify and hold each of the Administrative Agent and the Banks free and harmless from and
against all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), expenses, taxes, and
damages (including consequential damages) that the Administrative Agent and the Banks may suffer or
incur by reason of the investigation, defense and settlement of claims and in obtaining any
prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA or the Code necessary in the Administrative Agent’s
reasonable judgment by reason of the inaccuracy of the representations and warranties, or a breach
of the provisions, set forth in Section 4.6(b).

          SECTION 9.4. Sharing of Set-Offs. In addition to any rights now or hereafter
granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Bank is hereby authorized
at any time or from

67

 

time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind
to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but subject
to the prior consent of the Administrative Agent to set off and to appropriate and apply any and
all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) and any other indebtedness
at any time held or owing by such Bank (including, without limitation, by branches and agencies of
such Bank wherever located) to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on
account of the Obligations of the Borrower then due and payable to such Bank under this Agreement
or under any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in
Obligations purchased by such Bank. Each Bank agrees that if it shall by exercising any right of
set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of
principal and interest due with respect to any Note held by it, which is greater than the
proportion received by any other Bank, the Bank receiving such proportionately greater payment
shall purchase such participations in the Notes held by the other Banks, and such other adjustments
shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect
to the Notes held by the Banks shall be shared by the Banks pro rata; provided that nothing in this
Section shall
impair the right of any Bank to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have to
any deposits not received in connection with the Loans and to apply the amount subject to such
exercise to the payment of indebtedness of the Borrower other than its indebtedness under the
Notes. The Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law,
that any holder of a participation in a Note, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such
participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of the Borrower
in the amount of such participation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any
Bank may, by separate agreement with the Borrower, waive its right to set off contained herein or
granted by law and any such written waiver shall be effective against such Bank under this Section
9.4.

          SECTION 9.5. Amendments and Waivers. Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes
or other Loan Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in
writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Majority Banks (and, if the rights or duties of the
Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent are affected thereby, by the
Administrative Agent); provided that (A) no amendment or waiver of the provisions of Article V
(including, without limitation, any of the definitions of the defined terms used in Section 5.8
hereof) shall be effective unless signed by the Borrower and the Majority Banks and (B) no such
amendment or waiver with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Documents shall,
unless signed by all the Banks, (i) increase or decrease the Commitment of any Bank (except for a
ratable decrease in the Commitments of all Banks) or subject any Bank to any additional obligation,
(ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder, (iii) postpone
the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder or for
any reduction or termination of any Commitment, (iv) change the percentage of the Commitments or of
the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes, or the number of Banks, which shall be required
for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section or any other provision of this
Agreement, (v) release the EOPT Guaranty or (vi) modify the provisions of this Section 9.5.

68

 

          SECTION 9.6. Successors and Assigns.

          (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign
or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without
the prior written consent of all Banks and the Administrative Agent and a Bank may not assign or
otherwise transfer any of its interest under this Agreement except as permitted in subsections (b),
(c) and (e) of this Section 9.6.

          (b) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, any Bank may at any time from and
after the date that is six (6) months after the Closing Date, with (and subject to) the consent of
Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), grant to an
existing Bank, one or more banks, finance companies, insurance companies or other
financial institutions (a “Participant”) in minimum amounts of not less than
$5,000,000 (or any lesser amount in the case of participations to an existing Bank) participating
interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans. After the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, any Bank may at any time grant to any Person in any amount
(also a “Participant”), participating interests in its Commitment or any or all of its
Loans. Any participation made during the continuation of an Event of Default shall not be
affected by the subsequent cure of such Event of Default. In the event of any such grant by a Bank
of a participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, such Bank shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations
hereunder, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly
with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any
agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a participating interest shall provide that
such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower
hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver
of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such participation agreement may provide that
such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in
clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) of Section 9.5 without the consent of the Participant. The
Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement,
be entitled to the benefits of Article VIII with respect to its participating interest.

          (c) Any Bank may at any time assign to a Qualified Institution (in each case, an
“Assignee”) (i) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and from and after the date
that is six (6) months after the Closing Date, in minimum amounts of not less than Five Million
Dollars ($5,000,000) and integral multiple of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) thereafter (or any
lesser amount in the case of assignments to an existing Bank) and (ii) after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, in any amount, all or a proportionate part of all,
of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents, and, in
either case, such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations, pursuant to a Transfer
Supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto executed by such Assignee and such
transferor Bank; provided, that if no Event of Default shall

69

 

have occurred and be continuing, such
assignment shall be subject to the Administrative Agent’s and the Borrower’s consent, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; and provided further that if an
Assignee is an affiliate of such transferor Bank and is an Affiliate Qualified Institution, or was
a Bank immediately prior to such assignment, no such consent shall be required. Upon execution and
delivery of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Bank of an amount equal
to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Bank and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be
a Bank party to this Agreement and shall have all the rights and obligations of a Bank with a
Commitment as set forth in such instrument of assumption, and no further consent or action by any
party shall be required and the transferor Bank shall be released from its obligations hereunder to
a corresponding extent. Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c),
the transferor Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements
so that, if required, a new Note is issued to the Assignee. In connection with any such
assignment, the transferor Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent
an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $2,500. If the Assignee
is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof, it shall
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction
or withholding of any United States federal income taxes in accordance with Section 8.4. Any
assignment made during the continuation of an Event of Default shall not be affected by any
subsequent cure of such Event of Default.

          (d) Intentionally Omitted.

          (e) Any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and
its Note to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the transferor Bank from its
obligations hereunder.

          (f) No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Bank’s rights shall be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 8.3 or 8.4 than such Bank would have been entitled to
receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Borrower’s
prior written consent or by reason of the provisions of Section 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 requiring such Bank
to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances or at a time when
the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist.

          (g) No Assignee of any rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be permitted to
further assign less than all of such rights and obligations. No participant in any rights and
obligations under this Agreement shall be permitted to sell subparticipations of such rights and
obligations.

          (h) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, so long as no Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, no Bank shall be permitted to enter into an assignment of,
or sell a participation interest in, its rights and obligations hereunder which would result in
such Bank holding a Commitment without participants of less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000)
(or in the

70

 

case of the Administrative Agent, Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000)) unless as a
result of a cancellation or reduction of the aggregate Commitments; provided,
however, that no Bank shall be prohibited from assigning its entire Commitment so long as
such assignment is otherwise permitted under this Section 9.6.

          SECTION 9.7. Collateral. Each of the Banks represents to the Administrative Agent
and each of the other Banks that it in good faith is not relying upon any “margin stock” (as
defined in Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for
in this Agreement.

          SECTION 9.8. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.

          (a) THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES

Document and any action for enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof may be brought in the

York, and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower hereby accepts for itself and
in respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the

service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the

proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document brought
in the courts referred to above and hereby further irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or
claim in any such court that any such action or proceeding brought in any such court has been
brought in an inconvenient forum. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Administrative
Agent to serve process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or
otherwise proceed against the Borrower in any other jurisdiction.

          SECTION 9.9. Counterparts; Integration;. Effectiveness. This Agreement may be
signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as
if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the

agreements and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This
Agreement shall become effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of
counterparts hereof signed by

71

 

each of the parties hereto (or, in the case of any party as to which
an executed counterpart shall not have been received, receipt by the Administrative Agent in form
satisfactory to it of telegraphic, telex or other written confirmation from such party of execution
of a counterpart hereof by such party).

          SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT,
THE SYNDICATION AGENT AND THE BANKS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN
ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY.

          SECTION 9.11. Survival. All indemnities set forth herein shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making and repayment
of the Loans hereunder.

          SECTION 9.12. Domicile of Loans. Each Bank may transfer and carry its Loans at, to
or for the account of any domestic or foreign branch office, subsidiary or affiliate of such Bank.

          SECTION 9.13. Limitation of Liability. No claim may be made by the Borrower
or any other Person acting by or through Borrower against the Administrative Agent, the
Syndication Agent or any Bank or the affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agent
of any of them for any punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other
theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or
by the other Loan Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and
the Borrower hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any claim for any such damages,
whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

          SECTION 9.14. Recourse Obligation. This Agreement and the Obligations hereunder are
fully recourse to the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no recourse under or upon any
obligation, covenant, or agreement contained in this Agreement shall be had against (i) any

Borrower other than EOPT, in each case except in the event of fraud or misappropriation of funds on
the part of such officer, director, shareholder or employee or such general partner.

          SECTION 9.15. Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent and each Bank shall
use reasonable efforts to assure that information about Borrower, EOPT and its Subsidiaries and
Investment Affiliates, and the Properties thereof and their operations, affairs and financial
condition, not generally disclosed to the public, which is furnished to Administrative Agent or any
Bank pursuant to the provisions hereof or any other Loan Document is used only for the purposes of
this Agreement and shall not be divulged to any Person other than the Administrative Agent, the
Banks, and their affiliates and respective officers, directors, employees and agents who are
actively and directly participating in the evaluation, administration or enforcement of the Loan
and other transactions between such Bank

72

 

and the Borrower, except: (a) to their attorneys and
accountants, (b) in connection with the enforcement of the rights and exercise of any remedies of
the Administrative Agent and the Banks hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) in
connection with assignments and participations and the solicitation of prospective assignees and
participants referred to in Section 9.6 hereof, who have agreed in writing to be bound by a
confidentiality agreement substantially equivalent to the terms of this Section 9.15, and (d) as
may otherwise be required or requested by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction over the
Administrative Agent or any Bank or by any applicable law, rule, regulation or judicial process.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, “information” shall not include, and the
Administrative Agent and each Bank may
disclose without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the “tax treatment”
and “tax structure” (in each case within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of
the transactions contemplated hereby and all materials of any kind (including opinions and tax
analyses) that are provided to the Administrative Agent or such Bank relating to such tax treatment
and tax structure; provided that with respect to any document or similar item that in either case
contains information concerning the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction as well as
other information, this sentence shall only apply to such portion of the documents or similar item
that relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the Loans and transactions contemplated
hereby. The Administrative Agent and/or the Bank making any such disclosure shall endeavor to
notify Borrower prior to making any such disclosure of the fact that such disclosure is being made
and the nature of the disclosure. In addition, the Administrative Agent and/or such Bank shall
provide Borrower with a copy of the disclosure promptly after the same is made.

          SECTION 9.16. Bank’s Failure to Fund.

          (a) If a Bank does not advance to Administrative Agent such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of a Loan in
accordance herewith, then neither Administrative Agent nor the other Banks shall be required or
obligated to fund such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such Loan.

          (b) As used herein, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth below:

               (i) “Defaulting Bank” shall mean any Bank which (x) does not advance to the Administrative
Agent such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of a Loan in accordance herewith for a period of five (5) Business
Days after notice of such failure from Administrative Agent, (y) shall otherwise fail to perform
such Bank’s obligations under the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the obligation to
purchase participations pursuant to Section 2.3) for a period of five (5) Business Days after
notice of such failure from Administrative Agent, or (z) shall fail to pay the Administrative Agent
or any other Bank, as the case may be, upon demand, such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of any costs,
expenses or disbursements incurred or made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of the
Loan Documents for a period of five (5) Business Days after notice of such failure from
Administrative Agent, and in all cases, such failure is not as a result of a good faith dispute as
to whether such advance is properly required to be made pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement, or as to whether such other performance or payment is properly required pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement.

73

 

               (ii) “Junior Creditor” means any Defaulting Bank which has not (x) fully cured each and every
monetary default on its part under the Loan Documents and (y) unconditionally tendered to the
Administrative Agent such Defaulting Bank’s Pro Rata Share of all costs, expenses and disbursements
required to be paid or reimbursed pursuant to the terms of the Loan Documents.

               (iii) “Payment in Full” means, as of any date, the receipt by the Banks who are not Junior
Creditors of an amount of cash, in lawful currency of the United States, sufficient to indefeasibly
pay in full all Senior Debt.

               (iv) “Senior Debt” means (x) collectively, any and all indebtedness, obligations and
liabilities of the Borrower to the Banks who are not Junior Creditors from time to time, whether
fixed or contingent, direct or indirect, joint or several, due or not due, liquidated or
unliquidated, determined or undetermined, arising by contract, operation of law or otherwise,
whether on open account or evidenced by one or more instruments, and whether for principal,
premium, interest (including, without limitation, interest accruing after the filing of a petition
initiating any proceeding referred to in Section 6.1(f) or (g)), reimbursement for fees,
indemnities, costs, expenses or otherwise, which arise under, in connection with or in respect of
the Loans or the Loan Documents, and (y) any and all deferrals, renewals, extensions and refundings
of, or amendments, restatements, rearrangements, modifications or supplements to, any such
indebtedness, obligation or liability.

               (v) “Subordinated Debt” means (x) any and all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of
Borrower to one or more Junior Creditors from time to time, whether fixed or contingent, direct or
indirect, joint or several, due or not due, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined,
arising by contract, operation of law or otherwise, whether on open account or evidenced by one or
more instruments, and whether for principal, premium, interest (including, without limitation,
interest accruing after the filing of a petition initiating any proceeding referred to in Section
6.1(f) or (g)), reimbursement for fees, indemnities, costs, expenses or otherwise, which arise
under, in connection with or in respect of the Loans or the Loan Documents, and (y) any and all
deferrals, renewals, extensions and refundings of, or amendments, restatements, rearrangements,
modifications or supplements to, any such indebtedness, obligation or liability.

          (c) Immediately upon a Bank’s becoming a Junior Creditor and until such time as such Bank
shall have cured all applicable defaults, no Junior Creditor shall, prior to Payment in Full of all
Senior Debt:

               (i) accelerate, demand payment of, sue upon, collect, or receive any payment upon, in any
manner, or satisfy or otherwise discharge, any Subordinated Debt, whether for principal, interest
and otherwise;

               (ii) take or enforce any Liens to secure Subordinated Debt or attach or levy upon any assets
of Borrower, to enforce any Subordinated Debt;

74

 

               (iii) enforce or apply any security for any Subordinated Debt; or

               (iv) incur any debt or liability, or the like, to, or receive any loan, return of capital,
advance, gift or any other property, from, the Borrower.

          (d) In the event of:

               (i) any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, dissolution, reorganization,
readjustment, composition or other similar proceeding relating to Borrower;

               (ii) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding-up of the Borrower, voluntary or
involuntary, whether or not involving insolvency, reorganization or bankruptcy proceedings;

               (iii) any assignment by the Borrower for the benefit of creditors;

               (iv) any sale or other transfer of all or substantially all assets of the Borrower; or

               (v) any other marshaling of the assets of the Borrower;

each of the Banks shall first have received Payment in Full of all Senior Debt before any payment
or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property, shall be made in respect of or upon
any Subordinated Debt. Any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property
that would otherwise be payable or deliverable in respect of Subordinated Debt to any Junior
Creditor but for this Agreement shall be paid or delivered directly to the Administrative Agent for
distribution to the Banks in accordance with this Agreement until Payment in Full of all Senior
Debt. If any Junior Creditor receives any such payment or distribution, it shall promptly pay over
or deliver the same to the Administrative Agent for application in accordance with the preceding
sentence.

          (e) Each Junior Creditor shall file in any bankruptcy or other proceeding of Borrower in which
the filing of claims is required by law, all claims relating to Subordinated Debt that such Junior
Creditor may have against Borrower and assign to the Banks who are not Junior Creditors all rights
of such Junior Creditor thereunder. If such Junior Creditor does not file any such claim prior to
forty-five (45) days before the expiration of the time to file such claim, Administrative Agent, as
attorney-in-fact for such Junior Creditor, is hereby irrevocably authorized to do so in the name of
such Junior Creditor or, in Administrative Agent’s sole discretion, to assign the claim to a
nominee and to cause proof of claim to be filed in the name of such nominee. The foregoing power
of attorney is coupled with an interest and cannot be revoked. The Administrative Agent shall, to
the exclusion of each Junior Creditor, have the sole right, subject to Section 9.5 hereof, to
accept or reject any plan proposed in any such proceeding and to take any other action that a party
filing a claim is entitled to take. In all such cases, whether in administration, bankruptcy or
otherwise, the Person or Persons

75

 

authorized to pay such claim shall pay to Administrative Agent the
amount payable on such claim and, to the full extent necessary for that purpose, each Junior
Creditor hereby transfers and assigns to the Administrative Agent all of the Junior Creditor’s
rights to any such payments or distributions to which Junior Creditor would otherwise be entitled.

          (f) (i) If any payment or distribution of any character or any security, whether in cash,
securities or other property, shall be received by any Junior Creditor in contravention of any of
the terms hereof, such payment or distribution or security shall be received in trust for the
benefit of, and shall promptly be paid over or delivered and transferred to, Administrative Agent
for application to the payment of all Senior Debt, to the extent necessary to achieve Payment in
Full. In the event of the failure of any Junior Creditor to endorse or assign any such payment,
distribution or security, Administrative Agent is hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse or
assign the same as attorney-in-fact for such Junior Creditor.

               (ii) Each Junior Creditor shall take such action (including, without limitation, the
execution and filing of a financing statement with respect to this Agreement and the execution,
verification, delivery and filing of proofs of claim, consents, assignments or other instructions
that Administrative Agent may require from time to time in order to prove or realize upon any
rights or claims pertaining to Subordinated Debt or to effectuate the full benefit of the
subordination contained herein) as may, in Administrative Agent’s sole and absolute discretion, be
necessary or desirable to assure the effectiveness of the subordination effected by this Agreement.

          (g) (i) Each Bank that becomes a Junior Creditor understands and acknowledges by its execution
hereof that each other Bank is entering into this Agreement and the Loan Documents in reliance upon
the absolute subordination in right of payment and in time of payment of Subordinated Debt to
Senior Debt as set forth herein.

               (ii) Only upon the Payment in Full of all Senior Debt shall any Junior Creditor be subrogated
to any remaining rights of the Banks which are not Defaulting Banks to receive payments or
distributions of assets of the Borrower made on or applicable to any Senior Debt.

               (iii) Each Junior Creditor agrees that it will deliver all instruments or other writings
evidencing any Subordinated Debt held by it to Administrative Agent, promptly after request
therefor by the Administrative Agent.

               (iv) No Junior Creditor may at any time sell, assign or otherwise transfer any Subordinated
Debt, or any portion thereof, including, without limitation, the granting of any Lien thereon,
unless and until satisfaction of the requirements of Section 9.6 above and the proposed transferee
shall have assumed in writing the obligation of the Junior Creditor to the Banks under this
Agreement, in a form acceptable to the Administrative Agent.

76

 

               (v) If any of the Senior Debt, should be invalidated, avoided or set aside, the subordination
provided for herein nevertheless shall continue in full force and effect and, as between the Banks
which are not Defaulting Banks and all Junior Creditors, shall be and be deemed to remain in full
force and effect.

               (vi) Each Junior Creditor hereby irrevocably waives, in respect of Subordinated Debt, all
rights (x) under Sections 361 through 365, 502(e) and 509 of the Bankruptcy Code (or any similar
sections hereafter in effect under any other Federal or state laws or legal or equitable principles
relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganizations, liquidations or otherwise for the relief of
debtors or protection of creditors), and (y) to seek or obtain conversion to a different type of
proceeding or to seek or obtain dismissal of a proceeding, in each case in relation to a
bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other proceeding under similar laws with respect to the
Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Junior Creditor hereby
specifically waives (A) the right to seek to give credit (secured or otherwise) to the Borrower in
any way under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code unless the same is subordinated in all respects to
Senior Debt in a manner acceptable to Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion and
(B) the right to receive any collateral security (including, without limitation, any “super
priority” or equal or “priming” or replacement Lien) for any Subordinated Debt unless the Banks
which are not Defaulting Banks have received a senior position acceptable to the Banks in their
sole and absolute discretion to secure all Senior Debt (in the same collateral to the extent
collateral is involved).

          (h) (i) In addition to and not in limitation of the subordination effected by this Section
9.16, the Administrative Agent and each of the Banks which are not Defaulting Banks may in their
respective sole and absolute discretion, also exercise any and all other rights and remedies
available at law or in equity in respect of a Defaulting Bank; and

               (ii) The Administrative Agent shall give each of the Banks notice of the occurrence of a
default under this Section 9.16 by a Defaulting Bank and if the Administrative Agent and/or one or
more of the other Banks shall, at their option, fund any amounts required to be paid or advanced by
a Defaulting Bank, the other Banks who have elected not to fund any portion of such amounts shall
not be liable for any reimbursements to the Administrative Agent and/or to such other funding
Banks.

          (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained or implied herein, a Defaulting Bank
shall not be entitled to vote on any matter as to which a vote by the Banks is required hereunder,
including, without limitation, any actions or consents on the part of the Administrative Agent as
to which the approval or consent of all the Banks or the Majority Banks is required under Article
VIII, Section 9.5 or elsewhere, so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Bank; provided,
however, that in the case of any vote requiring the unanimous consent of the Banks, if all
the Banks other than the Defaulting Bank shall have voted in accordance with each other, then the
Defaulting Bank shall be deemed to have voted in accordance with such Banks.

77

 

          (j) Each of the Administrative Agent and any one or more of the Banks which are not Defaulting
Banks may, at their respective option, (i) advance to the Borrower such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of
the Loans not advanced by a Defaulting Bank in accordance with the Loan Documents, or (ii) pay to
the Administrative Agent such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of any costs, expenses or disbursements
incurred or made by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of this Agreement not
theretofore paid by a Defaulting Bank. Immediately upon the making of
any such advance by the Administrative Agent or any one of the Banks, such Bank’s Pro Rata
Share and the Pro Rata Share of the Defaulting Bank shall be recalculated to reflect such advance.
All payments, repayments and other disbursements of funds by the Administrative Agent to Banks
shall thereupon and, at all times thereafter be made in accordance with such Bank’s recalculated
Pro Rata Share unless and until a Defaulting Bank shall fully cure all defaults on the part of such
Defaulting Bank under the Loan Documents or otherwise existing in respect of the Loans or this
Agreement, at which time the Pro Rata Share of the Bank(s) which advanced sums on behalf of the
Defaulting Bank and of the Defaulting Bank shall be restored to their original percentages.

          SECTION 9.17. Banks’ ERISA Covenant. Each Bank, by its signature hereto or
on the applicable Transfer Supplement, hereby agrees (a) that on the date any Loan is disbursed
hereunder no portion of such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such Loan will constitute “assets” within the
meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101 of an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section
3(3) of ERISA or a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, and (b) that
following such date such Bank shall not allocate such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of any Loan to an
account of such Bank if such allocation (i) by itself would cause such Pro Rata Share of such Loan
to then constitute “assets” (within the meaning of 29 C.F.R. § 2510.3-101) of an “employee
benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA or a “plan” within the meaning of Section
4975(e)(1) of the Code and (ii) by itself would cause such Loan to constitute a prohibited
transaction under ERISA or the Code (which is not exempt from the restrictions of Section 406 of
ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code and the taxes and penalties imposed by Section 4975 of the Code
and Section 502(i) of ERISA) or any Agent or Bank being deemed in violation of Section 404 of
ERISA.

          SECTION 9.18. Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the
pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to Borrower or any party to the EOPT
Guaranty, the Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan shall then be
due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the
Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on Borrower) shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:

(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and
unpaid in respect of the Loans and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid and to
file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
the Banks and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,

78

 

expenses, disbursements and advances of the Banks and the Administrative Agent and their
respective agents and counsel and other amounts due the Banks and the Administrative Agent
hereunder allowed in such judicial proceeding); and

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

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

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

          SECTION 9.19. USA Patriot Act. Each Bank hereby notifies the Borrower that
pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law
October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information
that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and
other information that will allow such Bank to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

          SECTION 9.20. Public/Private Information. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that (a)
the Administrative Agent and/or the Syndication Agent will make available to the Banks materials
and/or information provided by or on behalf of the Borrower hereunder (collectively, “Borrower
Materials”) by posting the Borrower Materials on IntraLinks or another similar electronic system
(the “Platform”) and (b) certain of the Banks may be “public-side” lenders (i.e., Banks that do not
wish to receive material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities)
(each, a “Public Lender”). The Borrower hereby agrees that (w) all Borrower Materials that are to
be made available to Public Lenders shall be clearly and conspicuously marked “PUBLIC” which, at a
minimum, shall mean that the word “PUBLIC” shall appear prominently on the first page thereof; (x)
by marking Borrower Materials “PUBLIC”, the Borrower shall be deemed to have authorized the
Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, and the Banks to treat such Borrower Materials as not
containing any material non-public information with respect to the Borrower or its securities for
purposes of United States Federal and state securities laws (provided, however, that to the extent
such Borrower Materials constitute Information, they shall be treated as set forth in Section
9.15); (y) all Borrower Materials marked “PUBLIC” are permitted to be made available through a
portion of the Platform marked “PUBLIC” or through a portion of the Platform designated “Public
Investor;” and (z) the Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent shall be entitled to treat
any Borrower Materials that are not marked

79

 

“PUBLIC” as being suitable only for posting on a portion
of the Platform not designated “Public Investor.”

delivered by the parties hereto; (ii) copies hereof shall have been delivered to the Administrative

of a Bank thereunder and be entitled to the benefits and rights of the Banks thereunder and (ii)
the Assignor shall, to the extent provided in this Transfer Supplement as to the Purchased
Interest, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Credit Agreement.

          6. From and after the Effective Date, the Assignor shall cause the Administrative Agent to
make all payments under the Credit Agreement, and the Notes in respect of the Purchased Interest
assigned hereby (including, without limitation, all payments of principal, fees and interest with
respect thereto and any amounts accrued but not paid prior to such date) to the Purchasing Bank.

          7. This Transfer Supplement may be executed in any number of counterparts which, when taken
together, shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

          8. Assignor hereby represents and warrants to Purchasing Bank that it has made all payments
demanded to date by Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent in connection with
the Assignor’s Pro Rata Share of the obligation to reimburse the Agent for its expenses and made
all Loans required. In the event Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent,

Administrative Agent, such sums directly, subject, however, to Paragraph 12 hereof.

          9. Assignor will, at the cost of Assignor, and without expense to Purchasing Bank, do,
execute, acknowledge and deliver all and every such further acts, deeds, conveyances, assignments,
notices of assignments, transfers and assurances as Purchasing Bank shall, from time to time,
reasonably require, for the better assuring, conveying, assigning, transferring and confirming unto
Purchasing Bank the property and rights hereby given, granted, bargained, sold, aliened, enfeoffed,

          10. The parties agree that no broker or finder was instrumental in bringing about this
transaction. Each party shall indemnify, defend the other and hold the other free and harmless

and disbursements) suffered by such party arising from claims by any broker or
finder that such broker or finder has dealt with said party in connection with this transaction.

          11. Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 12 hereof, if, with respect to the Purchased
Interest only, Assignor shall on or after the Effective Date receive (a) any cash, note,
securities, property, obligations or other consideration in respect of or relating to the Loan or
the Loan Documents or issued in substitution or replacement of the Loan or the Loan Documents, (b)
any cash or non-cash consideration in any form whatsoever distributed, paid or issued in any
bankruptcy proceeding in connection with the Loan or the Loan Documents or (c) any other
distribution (whether by means of repayment, redemption, realization of security or otherwise),
Assignor shall accept the same as Purchasing Bank’s agent and hold the same in trust on behalf of
and for the benefit of Purchasing Bank, and shall deliver the same forthwith to Purchasing Bank in
the same form received, with the endorsement (without recourse) of Assignor when necessary or
appropriate. If the Assignor shall fail to deliver any funds received by it within the same
Business Day of receipt, unless such funds are received by Assignor after 4:00 p.m., Eastern
Standard Time, then the following Business Day after receipt, said funds shall accrue interest at
the Federal Funds Rate and in addition to promptly remitting said amount, Assignor shall remit such
interest from the date received to the date such amount is remitted to the Purchasing Bank.

          12. Assignor and Purchasing Bank each hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless the other,
each of its directors and each of its officers in connection with any claim or cause of action
based on any matter or claim based on the acts of either while acting as a Bank under the Credit
Agreement. Promptly after receipt by the indemnified party under this Section of notice of the
commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall notify the indemnifying party in writing
of the commencement thereof. If any such action is brought against any indemnified party and that
party notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be
entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it may elect by written notice delivered to
the indemnified party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to
assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after receipt
of notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the
defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this
Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in
connection with the defense thereof. In no event shall the indemnified party settle or consent to
a settlement of such cause of action or claim without the consent of the indemnifying party.

          13. THIS TRANSFER SUPPLEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

GUARANTY OF PAYMENT

          GUARANTY OF PAYMENT, made as of October 14, 2005 (this “Guaranty”), between EQUITY
OFFICE PROPERTIES TRUST, a Maryland real estate investment trust, having an address at Two North
Riverside Plaza, Suite 2100, Chicago, Illinois 60606 (“Guarantor”), and WACHOVIA BANK,
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the banks
(the “Banks”) listed on the signature pages of the Credit Agreement, dated as of October
14, 2005, among EOP Operating Limited Partnership (“Borrower”), the banks listed on the
signature pages thereof, Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent, Bank of
America, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and Wachovia Capital Markets, LLC and Banc of America
Securities LLC, as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners (as the same may be amended from time
to time, the “Credit Agreement”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

          WHEREAS, the Banks have agreed to make loans to Borrower in the aggregate principal amount not
to exceed Five Hundred Million Dollars ($500,000,000) (hereinafter collectively referred to
as the “Loans”);

          WHEREAS, the Loans are evidenced by certain promissory notes (the “Notes”) of Borrower
made to each of the Banks in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement;

          WHEREAS, the Credit Agreement and the Notes and any other documents executed in connection
therewith are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Loan Documents”;

          WHEREAS, capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings
ascribed thereto in the Credit Agreement;

          WHEREAS, Guarantor is the sole general partner of Borrower; and

          WHEREAS, as a condition to the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, the Banks have
required that Guarantor execute and deliver this Guaranty; and

          NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the benefits to be derived from the making
of the Loans by the Banks to Borrower, and in order to induce the Administrative Agent, and the
Banks to enter into the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the Guarantor hereby agrees
as follows:

          1. Guarantor, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably,
absolutely and unconditionally guarantees the full and punctual payment when due, whether at stated
maturity or otherwise, of all Obligations of Borrower now or hereafter existing under the

 

 

Notes and
the Credit Agreement, for principal and/or interest as well as any and all other amounts due
thereunder, including, without limitation, all indemnity obligations of
Borrower thereunder, and any and all reasonable costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by the Administrative Agent or
the Banks in enforcing their rights under this Guaranty (all of the foregoing obligations being the
“Guaranteed Obligations”).

          2. It is agreed that the Guaranteed Obligations of Guarantor hereunder are primary and this
Guaranty shall be enforceable against Guarantor and its successors and assigns without the
necessity for any suit or proceeding of any kind or nature whatsoever brought by the Administrative
Agent or any of the Banks against Borrower or its respective successors or assigns or any other
party or against any security for the payment and performance of the Guaranteed Obligations and
without the necessity of any notice of non-payment or non-observance or of any notice of acceptance
of this Guaranty or of any notice or demand to which Guarantor might otherwise be entitled
(including, without limitation, diligence, presentment, notice of maturity, extension of time,
change in nature or form of the Guaranteed Obligations, acceptance of further security, release of
further security, imposition or agreement arrived at as to the amount of or the terms of the
Guaranteed Obligations, notice of adverse change in Borrower’s financial condition and any other
fact which might materially increase the risk to Guarantor), all of which Guarantor hereby
expressly waives; and Guarantor hereby expressly agrees that the validity of this Guaranty and the
obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected, diminished, modified or
impaired by reason of the assertion of or the failure to assert by the Administrative Agent or any
of the Banks against Borrower or its respective successors or assigns, any of the rights or
remedies reserved to the Administrative Agent or any of the Banks pursuant to the provisions of the
Loan Documents. Guarantor agrees that any notice or directive given at any time to the
Administrative Agent or any of the Banks which is inconsistent with the waiver in the immediately
preceding sentence shall be void and may be ignored by the Administrative Agent and the Banks, and,
in addition, may not be pleaded or introduced as evidence in any litigation relating to this
Guaranty for the reason that such pleading or introduction would be at variance with the written
terms of this Guaranty, unless the Administrative Agent has specifically agreed otherwise in a
writing, signed by a duly authorized officer. Guarantor specifically acknowledges and agrees that
the foregoing waivers are of the essence of this transaction and that, but for this Guaranty and
such waivers, the Administrative Agent and the Banks would have declined to execute and deliver
the Loan Documents.

          3. Guarantor waives, and covenants and agrees that it will not at any time insist upon,
plead or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any and all appraisal,
valuation, stay, extension, marshalling-of-assets or redemption laws, or right of homestead or
exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay, prevent or otherwise
affect the performance by Guarantor of its obligations under, or the enforcement by the
Administrative Agent or any of the Banks of, this Guaranty. Guarantor further covenants and agrees
not to set up or claim any defense, counterclaim, offset, setoff or other objection of any kind to
any action, suit or proceeding in law, equity or otherwise, or to any demand or claim that may be
instituted or made by the Administrative Agent or any of the Banks other than the defense of the
actual timely payment and

2

 

performance by Borrower of the Guaranteed Obligations hereunder;
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed a waiver of Guarantor’s
right to assert any compulsory counterclaim, if such counterclaim is compelled under local law
or rule of procedure, nor shall the foregoing be deemed a waiver of Guarantor’s right to assert any
claim which would constitute a defense, setoff, counterclaim or crossclaim of any nature whatsoever
against Administrative Agent or any Bank in any separate action or proceeding. Guarantor
represents, warrants and agrees that, as of the date hereof, its obligations under this Guaranty
are not subject to any counterclaims, offsets or defenses against the Administrative Agent or any
Bank of any kind.

          4. The provisions of this Guaranty are for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the
Banks and their successors and permitted assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair as
between Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the Banks the obligations of Borrower under the
Loan Documents.

          5. This Guaranty shall be a continuing, unconditional and absolute guaranty and the liability
of Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected, modified, impaired or diminished by
reason of the happening, from time to time, of any of the following, although without notice or the
further consent of Guarantor:

     (a) any assignment, amendment, modification or waiver of or change in any of the terms,
covenants, conditions or provisions of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Loan
Documents or the invalidity or unenforceability of any of the foregoing; or

     (b) any extension of time that may be granted by the Administrative Agent to Borrower,
any guarantor, or their respective successors or assigns, heirs, executors, administrators
or personal representatives; or

     (c) any action which the Administrative and/or the Banks may take or fail to take under
or in respect of any of the Loan Documents or by reason of any waiver of, or failure to
enforce any of the rights, remedies, powers or privileges available to the Administrative
Agent under this Guaranty or available to the Administrative Agent and/or the Banks at law,
equity or otherwise, or any action on the part of the Administrative Agent and/or the Banks
granting indulgence or extension in any form whatsoever; or

     (d) any sale, exchange, release, or other disposition of any property pledged,
mortgaged or conveyed, or any property in which the Administrative Agent and/or the Banks
have been granted a lien or security interest to secure any indebtedness of Borrower to the
Administrative Agent and/or the Banks; or

     (e) any release of any person or entity who may be liable in any manner for the
payment and collection of any amounts owed by Borrower to the Administrative Agent and/or

3

 

     the Banks; or

     (f) the application of any sums by whomsoever paid or however realized to any amounts
owing by Borrower to the Administrative Agent and/or the Banks under the
Loan Documents in such manner as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole
discretion; or

     (g) Borrower’s or any guarantor’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution,
sale of all or substantially all of their respective assets and liabilities, appointment of
a trustee, receiver, liquidator, sequestrator or conservator for all or any part of
Borrower’s or Guarantor’s assets, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of
creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment, or the commencement of
other similar proceedings affecting Borrower or any guarantor or any of the assets of any of
them, including, without limitation, (i) the release or discharge of Borrower or any
guarantor from the payment and performance of their respective obligations under any of the
Loan Documents by operation of law, or (ii) the impairment, limitation or modification of
the liability of Borrower or any guarantor in bankruptcy, or of any remedy for the
enforcement of the Guaranteed Obligations under any of the Loan Documents, or Guarantor’s
liability under this Guaranty, resulting from the operation of any present or future
provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or other present or future federal, state or applicable
statute or law or from the decision in any court; or

     (h) any improper disposition by Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans, it being
acknowledged by Guarantor that the Administrative Agent or any Bank shall be entitled to
honor any request made by Borrower for a disbursement of such proceeds and that neither the
Administrative Agent nor any Bank shall have any obligation to see the proper disposition by
Borrower of such proceeds.

          6. Guarantor agrees that if at any time all or any part of any payment at any time received by
the Administrative Agent from Borrower or Guarantor under or with respect to this Guaranty is or
must be rescinded or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Bank for any reason whatsoever
(including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or
Guarantor), then Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall, to the extent of the payment rescinded or
returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such previous receipt by such
party, and Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or reinstated, as the
case may be, as to such payment, as though such previous payment had never been made.

          7. Until this Guaranty is terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, Guarantor (i) shall
have no right of subrogation against Borrower or any entity comprising same by reason of any
payments or acts of performance by Guarantor in compliance with the obligations of Guarantor
hereunder, (ii) waives any right to enforce any remedy which Guarantor now or hereafter shall have
against Borrower or any entity comprising same by reason of any one or more payment or acts of
performance in compliance with the obligations of Guarantor hereunder and (iii) from and after an
Event

4

 

of Default (as defined in the Credit Agreement), subordinates any liability or indebtedness
of Borrower or any entity comprising same now or hereafter held by Guarantor or any affiliate of
Guarantor to the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents. The foregoing, however, shall
not be deemed in any way to limit any rights that
Guarantor may have pursuant to the Agreement of Limited Partnership of Borrower or which it
may have at law or in equity with respect to any other partners of Borrower.

          8. Guarantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Banks with the
knowledge that the Administrative Agent and the Banks are relying upon the same, as follows:

     (a) as of the date hereof, Guarantor is the sole general partner of Borrower;

     (b) based upon such relationships, Guarantor has determined that it is in its best
interests to enter into this Guaranty;

     (c) this Guaranty is necessary and convenient to the conduct, promotion and attainment
of Guarantor’s business, and is in furtherance of Guarantor’s business purposes;

     (d) the benefits to be derived by Guarantor from Borrower’s access to funds made
possible by the Loan Documents are at least equal to the obligations undertaken pursuant to
this Guaranty;

     (e) Guarantor is solvent and has full power and legal right to enter into this Guaranty
and to perform its obligations under the term hereof and (i) Guarantor is organized and
validly existing under the laws of the State of Maryland, (ii) Guarantor has complied with
all provisions of applicable law in connection with all aspects of this Guaranty, and (iii)
the person executing this Guaranty has all the requisite power and authority to execute and
deliver this Guaranty;

     (f) to the best of Guarantor’s knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding, or
investigation pending or threatened against or affecting Guarantor at law, in equity, in
admiralty or before any arbitrator or any governmental department, commission, board,
bureau, agency or instrumentality (domestic or foreign) which is likely to materially and
adversely impair the ability of Guarantor to perform its obligations under this Guaranty;

     (g) the execution and delivery of and the performance by Guarantor of its
obligations under this Guaranty have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the
part of Guarantor and do not (i) violate any provision of any law, rule, regulation
(including, without limitation, Regulation U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System of the United States), order, writ, judgment, decree, determination or award
presently in effect having applicability to Guarantor or the organizational documents of
Guarantor the consequences of which violation is likely to materially and adversely impair
the ability of Guarantor to perform its

5

 

obligations under this Guaranty or (ii) violate or
conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or
both) a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which Guarantor is a
party, or by which Guarantor or any of its property is bound, the consequences of which
violation, conflict, breach or default is likely to
materially and adversely impair the ability of Guarantor to perform its obligations
under this Guaranty;

     (h) this Guaranty has been duly executed by Guarantor and constitutes the legal, valid
and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms
except as enforceability may be limited by applicable insolvency, bankruptcy or other laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally or general principles of equity, whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;

     (i) no authorization, consent, approval, license or formal exemption from, nor any
filing, declaration or registration with, any Federal, state, local or foreign court,
governmental agency or regulatory authority is required in connection with the making and
performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty, except those which have already been obtained;
and

     (j) Guarantor is not an “investment company” as that term is defined in, nor is it
otherwise subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

          9. Guarantor and Administrative Agent each acknowledge and agree that this Guaranty is a
guarantee of payment and performance and not of collection and enforcement in respect of any
obligations which may accrue to the Administrative Agent and/or the Banks from Borrower under the
provisions of any Loan Document.

          10. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, and in conjunction therewith,
the Administrative Agent or any Bank may assign any or all of its rights under this Guaranty. In
the event of any such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall give Guarantor prompt notice of
same. If the Administrative Agent or any Bank elects to sell all the Loans or participations in
the Loans and the Loan Documents, including this Guaranty, the Administrative Agent or any Bank may
forward to each purchaser and prospective purchaser all documents and information relating to this
Guaranty or to Guarantor, whether furnished by Borrower or Guarantor or otherwise, subject to the
terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement.

          11. Guarantor agrees, upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, to execute
and deliver to the Administrative Agent, from time to time, any modification or amendment hereto or
any additional instruments or documents reasonably considered necessary by the Administrative Agent
or its counsel to cause this Guaranty to be, become or remain valid and effective in accordance
with its terms, provided, that, any such modification, amendment, additional instrument or document
shall not increase Guarantor’s obligations or diminish its rights hereunder and shall be reasonably
satisfactory as to form to Guarantor and to Guarantor’s counsel.

6

 

          12. The representations and warranties of Guarantor set forth in this Guaranty
shall survive until this Guaranty shall terminate in accordance with the terms hereof.

          13. This Guaranty contains the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements relating to such subject matter and may not be
modified, amended, supplemented or discharged except by a written agreement signed by Guarantor and
the Administrative Agent.

          14. If all or any portion of any provision contained in this Guaranty shall be determined to
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, such provision or portion
thereof shall be deemed stricken and severed from this Guaranty and the remaining provisions and
portions thereof shall continue in full force and effect.

          15. This Guaranty may be executed in counterparts which together shall constitute the same
instrument.

          16. All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing

if given by a nationally recognized overnight carrier, 24 hours after such communication is
deposited with such carrier with postage prepaid for next day delivery, or (iv) if given by any
other means, when delivered at the address specified in this Section.

          17. Any acknowledgment or new promise, whether by payment of principal or interest or
otherwise by Borrower or Guarantor, with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations shall, if the
statute of limitations in favor of Guarantor against the Administrative Agent shall have commenced
to run, toll the running of such statute of limitations, and if the period of such statute of
limitations shall have expired, prevent the operation of such statute of limitations.

          18. This Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall
inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks and their successors and permitted
assigns.

          19. The failure of the Administrative Agent to enforce any right or remedy hereunder, or
promptly to enforce any such right or remedy, shall not constitute a waiver thereof, nor give rise
to any estoppel against the Administrative Agent, nor excuse Guarantor from its obligations
hereunder. Any waiver of any such right or remedy to be enforceable against the Administrative
Agent must be expressly set forth in a writing signed by the Administrative Agent.

          20. (a) THIS GUARANTY AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

               (b) Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Guaranty and any action for
enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof may be brought in the courts of the State of New
York or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and, by execution
and delivery of this Guaranty, the Guarantor hereby accepts for itself and in respect of its

8

 

property, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and
appellate courts from any thereof. The Guarantor irrevocably consents to the service of process
out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies
thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Guarantor at its address for
notices set forth herein. The Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may now
or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out
of or in connection with this Guaranty brought in the courts referred to above and hereby further
irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or
proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Nothing herein
shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent to serve process in any
other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against
the Guarantor in any other jurisdiction.

               (c) GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR CAUSES OF
ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY. IT IS HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGED BY GUARANTOR THAT THE
WAIVER OF A JURY TRIAL IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT TO ACCEPT THIS
GUARANTY AND THAT THE LOANS MADE BY THE BANKS ARE MADE IN RELIANCE UPON SUCH WAIVER. GUARANTOR
FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT SUCH WAIVER HAS BEEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY MADE, FOLLOWING
CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, THIS GUARANTY MAY BE FILED BY THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN COURT AS A WRITTEN CONSENT TO A NON-JURY TRIAL.

               (d) Guarantor does hereby further covenant and agree to and with the Administrative Agent that
Guarantor may be joined in any action against Borrower in connection with the Loan Documents and
that recovery may be had against Guarantor in such action or in any independent action against
Guarantor (with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations), without the Administrative Agent first
pursuing or exhausting any remedy or claim against Borrower or its successors or assigns.
Guarantor also agrees that, in an action brought with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations in any
jurisdiction, it shall be conclusively bound by the judgment in any such action by the
Administrative Agent (wherever brought) against Borrower or its successors or assigns, as if
Guarantor were a party to such action, even though Guarantor was not joined as a party in such
action.

               (e) Guarantor agrees to pay all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’
fees and disbursements) which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent or the Banks in
connection with the enforcement of their rights under this Guaranty, whether or not suit is
initiated.

          21. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Guaranty shall
terminate and be of no further force or effect upon the full performance and payment of the
Guaranteed

9

 

Obligations hereunder and the termination of the Commitments under the Credit Agreement.
Upon termination of this Guaranty in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty, the
Administrative Agent promptly shall deliver to Guarantor such documents as Guarantor or Guarantor’s
counsel reasonably may request in order to evidence such termination.

          22. All of the Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies under each of the Loan Documents or
under this Guaranty are intended to be distinct, separate and cumulative and no such right or
remedy therein or herein mentioned is intended to be in exclusion of or a waiver of any other right
or remedy available to the Administrative Agent.

          23. The Guarantor shall not use any assets of an “employee benefit plan” within
the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA or a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of
the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) to repay or secure the Loan, the Note, the
Obligations or this Guaranty. The Guarantor shall not assign, sell, pledge, encumber, transfer,
hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any of its rights or interests (direct or indirect) in
Borrower, or attempt to do any of the foregoing or suffer any of the foregoing, or permit any party
with a direct or indirect interest or right in Borrower to do any of the foregoing, if such action
would cause the Note, the Loan, the Obligations, this Guaranty, or any of the Loan Documents or the
exercise of any of the Administrative Agent’s or Bank’s rights in connection therewith, to
constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the Code (unless the Guarantor furnishes to the
Administrative Agent a legal opinion satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that the transaction
is exempt from the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code (and for this purpose,
the Administrative Agent and the Banks, by accepting the benefits of this Guaranty, hereby agree to
supply Guarantor all relevant non-confidential, factual information reasonably necessary to such
legal opinion and reasonably requested by Guarantor) or would otherwise result in the
Administrative Agent or any of the Arrangers or Banks being deemed in violation of Sections 404 or
406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or would otherwise result in the Administrative Agent or
the Banks being a fiduciary or party in interest under ERISA or a “disqualified person” as defined
in Section 4975(e)(2) of the Code with respect to an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of
Section 3(3) of ERISA or a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code. The
Guarantor shall indemnify and hold each of the Administrative Agent and the Banks free and harmless
from and against all loss, costs (including attorneys’ fees and expenses), expenses, taxes and
damages (including consequential damages) that each of the Administrative Agent and the Banks may
suffer by reason of the investigation, defense and settlement of claims and in obtaining any
prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA necessary in Administrative Agent’s reasonable
judgment as a result of Guarantor’s action or inaction or by reason of a breach of the foregoing
provisions by Guarantor.

          24. This Guaranty shall become effective simultaneously with the making of the initial Loans
under the Credit Agreement.
