Secretary, or, in his absence, an assistant secretary, or in the absence of both
the Secretary and assistant secretaries, a person appointed by the Chairman
shall act as Secretary.

     Section 7. QUORUM. At any meeting of shareholders, the presence in person
                ------
or by proxy of shareholders entitled to cast a majority of all the votes
entitled to be cast at such meeting shall constitute a quorum; but this Section
shall not affect any requirement under any statute or the Declaration of Trust
for the vote necessary for the adoption of any measure. If, however, such quorum
shall not be present at any meeting of the shareholders, the shareholders
entitled to vote at such meeting, present in person or by proxy, shall have the
power to adjourn the meeting from time to time to a date not more than 120 days
after the original record date without notice other than announcement at the
meeting. At such adjourned meeting at which a quorum shall be present, any
business may be transacted which might have been transacted at the meeting as
originally notified.

     Section 8. VOTING. A plurality of all the votes cast at a meeting of
                ------
shareholders duly called and at which a quorum is present shall be sufficient to
elect a Trustee. Each share may be voted for as many individuals as there are
Trustees to be elected and for whose election the share is entitled to be voted.
A majority of the votes cast at a meeting of shareholders duly called and at
which a quorum is present shall be sufficient to approve any other matter which
may properly come before the meeting, unless more than a majority of the votes
cast is required herein or by statute or by the Declaration of Trust. Unless
otherwise provided in the Declaration, each outstanding share, regardless of
class, shall be entitled to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at a

     Section 9. PROXIES. A shareholder may vote the shares owned of record by
                -------
him, either in person or by proxy executed in writing by the shareholder or by
his duly authorized attorney in fact. Such proxy shall be filed with the
secretary of the Trust before or at the time of the meeting. No proxy shall be

     Section 10. VOTING OF SHARES BY CERTAIN HOLDERS. Shares of the Trust
                 -----------------------------------
registered in the name of a corporation, partnership, trust or other entity, if
entitled to be voted, may be voted by the president or a vice president, a
general partner or trustee thereof, as the case may be, or a proxy appointed by
any of the foregoing individuals, unless some other person who has been
appointed to vote such shares pursuant to a bylaw or a resolution of the
governing board of such corporation or other entity or agreement of the partners
of the partnership presents a certified copy of such bylaw, resolution or
agreement, in which case such person may vote such shares. Any trustee or other
fiduciary may vote shares registered in his name as such fiduciary, either in
person or by proxy.

     Shares of the Trust directly or indirectly owned by it shall not be voted
at any meeting and shall not be counted in determining the total number of
outstanding shares entitled to be voted at any given time, unless they are held
by it in a fiduciary capacity, in which case they may be voted and shall be
counted in determining the total number of outstanding shares at any given time.

     The Trustees may adopt by resolution a procedure by which a shareholder may
certify in writing to the Trust that any shares registered in the name of the
shareholder are held for the account of a specified person other than the
shareholder. The resolution shall set forth the class of shareholders who may
make the certification, the purpose for which the certification may be made, the
form of certification and the information to be contained in it; if the
certification is with respect to a record date or closing of the share transfer
books, the time after the record date or closing of the share transfer books
within which the certification must be received by the Trust; and any other
provisions with respect to the procedure which the Trustees consider necessary
or desirable. On receipt of such certification, the person specified in the
certification shall be regarded as, for the purposes set forth in the
certification, the shareholder of record of the specified shares in place of the
shareholder who makes the certification.

     Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in the Declaration
of Trust or these Bylaws, Title 3, Subtitle 7 of the Corporations and
Associations Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland (or any successor
statute) shall not apply to any acquisition by any person of shares of
beneficial interest of the Trust. This Section may be repealed, in whole or in
part, at any time, whether before or after an acquisition of control shares and,
upon such repeal, may, to the extent provided by any successor bylaw, apply to
any prior or subsequent control share acquisition.

                 ----------
meeting may, or upon the request of any shareholder shall, appoint one or more
persons as inspectors for such meeting. Such inspectors shall ascertain and
report the number of shares represented at the meeting based upon their
determination of the validity and effect of proxies, count all votes, report the
results and perform such other acts as are proper to conduct the election and
voting with impartiality and fairness to all the shareholders.

     Each report of an inspector shall be in writing and signed by him or by a
majority of them if there is more than one inspector acting at such meeting. If
there is more than one inspector, the report of a majority shall be the report
of the inspectors. The report of the inspector or inspectors on the number of
shares represented at the meeting and the results of the voting shall be prima
                                                                         -----

persons (as the case may be) for election to such position as specified in the
Trust's notice of meeting, if the shareholder's notice

                                      -5-

     Section 1. NUMBER, TENURE AND QUALIFICATIONS. The Board of Trustees may
                ---------------------------------
appoint from among its members an Executive Committee and other committees
comprised of two or more Trustees. A majority of the members of any committee so

which requires shareholder approval, amend or repeal these Bylaws, approve any
merger or share exchange which does not require shareholder approval, or issue

issuance of stock, a committee of the Board of Trustees, in accordance with a
general formula or method specified by the Board of Trustees by resolution or by
adoption of a stock option plan, may fix the terms of stock, subject to
classification or reclassification, and the terms on which any stock may be
issued.

     Notice of committee meetings shall be given in the same manner as notice
for special meetings of the Board of Trustees.

     One-third, but not less than two, of the members of any committee shall be
present in person at any meeting of such committee in order to constitute a
quorum for the transaction of business at such meeting, and the act of a
majority present shall be the act of such committee. The Board of Trustees may
designate a chairman of any committee, and such chairman or any two members of
any committee may fix the time and place of its meetings unless the Board shall
otherwise provide. In the absence or disqualification of any member of any such
committee, the members thereof present at any meeting and not disqualified from
voting, whether or not they constitute a quorum, may unanimously appoint another
Trustee to act at the meeting in the place of such absent or disqualified
members; provided, however, that in the event of the absence or disqualification
of an Independent Trustee, such appointee shall be an Independent Trustee.

     Each committee shall keep minutes of its proceedings and shall report the
same to the Board of Trustees at the meeting next succeeding, and any action by
the committees shall be subject to revision and alteration by the Board of
Trustees, provided that no rights of third persons shall be affected by any such
revision or alteration.

     Subject to the provisions hereof, the Board of Trustees shall have the
power at any time to change the membership of any committee, to fill all
vacancies, to designate alternative members to replace any absent or
disqualified member, or to dissolve any such committee.

quorum, may appoint another Trustee to act in the place of such absent member.

     Section 4. TELEPHONE MEETINGS. Members of a committee of the Trustees may
                ------------------
participate in a meeting by means of a conference telephone or similar
communications equipment if all persons participating in the meeting can hear
each other at the same time. Participation in a meeting by these means shall
constitute presence in person at the meeting.

     Section 5. INFORMAL ACTION BY COMMITTEES. Any action required or permitted
                -----------------------------
to be taken at any meeting of a committee of the Trustees may be taken without a
meeting, if a consent in writing to such action is signed by each member of the
committee and such written consent is filed with the minutes of proceedings of
such committee.

successor is elected and qualifies or until his death, resignation or removal in
the manner hereinafter provided. Any two or more offices except president and

may leave unfilled any office except that of president and secretary. Election
of an officer or agent shall not of itself create contract rights between the
Trust and such officer or agent.

     Section 2. REMOVAL AND RESIGNATION. Any officer or agent of the Trust may
                -----------------------
be removed by the Trustees if in their judgment the best interests of the Trust

contract rights, if any, of the person so removed. Any officer of the Trust may
resign at any time by giving written notice of his resignation to the Trustees,
the chairman of the board, the president or the secretary. Any resignation shall
take effect at any time subsequent to the time specified therein or, if the time
when it shall become effective is not specified therein, immediately upon its
receipt. The acceptance of a resignation shall not be necessary to make it
effective unless otherwise stated in the resignation. Such resignation shall be
without prejudice to the contract rights, if any, of the Trust.

which are restricted as to their transferability or voting powers, which are
preferred or limited as to their dividends or as to their allocable portion of
the assets upon liquidation or which are redeemable at the option of the Trust,
shall have a statement of such restriction, limitation, preference or redemption
provision, or a summary thereof, plainly stated on the certificate. In lieu of
such statement or summary, the Trust may set forth upon the face or back of the
certificate a statement that the Trust will furnish to any shareholder, upon
request and without charge, a full statement of such information.

     Section 2. TRANSFERS. Certificates shall be treated as negotiable, and

                                      -14-

<PAGE>
pursuant to any provision of the Declaration of Trust, shall have refused to
permit the transfer of such shares. Permitted transfers of shares of the Trust
shall be made on the share records of the Trust only upon the instruction of the
registered holder thereof, or by his attorney thereunto authorized by power of
attorney duly executed and filed with the Secretary or with a transfer agent or
transfer clerk, and upon surrender of the certificate or certificates, if
issued, for such shares properly endorsed or accompanied by a duly executed
share transfer power and the payment of all taxes thereon. Upon surrender to the
Trust or the transfer agent of the Trust of a certificate for shares duly
endorsed or accompanied by proper evidence of succession, assignment or
authority to transfer, as to any transfers not prohibited by any provision of

lost, stolen or destroyed. When authorizing the issuance of a new certificate,
the officer designated by the Trustees may, in his discretion and as a condition
precedent to the issuance thereof, require the owner of such lost, stolen or
destroyed certificate or the owner's legal representative to advertise the same
in such manner as he shall require and/or to give bond, with sufficient surety,

     Section 4. CLOSING OF TRANSFER BOOKS OR FIXING OF RECORD DATE. The Trustees
                --------------------------------------------------

entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of shareholders or determining
shareholders entitled to receive payment of any dividend or the allotment of any
other rights, or in order to make a determination of shareholders for any other
purpose. Such date, in any case, shall not be prior to the close of business on
the day the record date is fixed and shall be not more than 90 days and, in the
case of a meeting of shareholders not less than ten days, before the date on
which the meeting or particular action requiring such determination of
shareholders of record is to be held or taken.

     In lieu of fixing a record date, the Trustees may provide that the share
transfer books shall be closed for a stated period but not longer than 20 days.
If the share transfer books are closed for the purpose of determining
shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders, such
books shall be closed for at least ten days before the date of such meeting.

     If no record date is fixed and the share transfer books are not closed for
the determination of shareholders, (a) the record date for the determination of
shareholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of shareholders shall
be at the close of business on the day on which the notice of meeting is mailed
or the 30th day before the meeting, whichever is the closer date to the meeting;
and (b) the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to
receive

                                      -15-

<PAGE>
payment of a dividend or an allotment of any other rights shall be the close of
business on the day on which the resolution of the Trustees, declaring the
dividend or allotment of rights, is adopted.

     When a determination of shareholders entitled to vote at any meeting of
shareholders has been made as provided in this section, such determination shall
apply to any adjournment thereof, except when (i) the determination has been
made through the closing of the transfer books and the stated period of closing
has expired or (ii) the meeting is adjourned to a date more than 120 days after
the record date fixed for the original meeting, in either of which case a new
record date shall be determined as set forth herein.

     Section 5. STOCK LEDGER. The Trust shall maintain at its principal office
                ------------
or at the office of its counsel, accountants or transfer agent, an original or
duplicate share ledger containing the name and address of each shareholder and
the number of shares of each class held by such shareholder.

     Section 6. FRACTIONAL SHARES; ISSUANCE OF UNITS. The Trustees may issue
                ------------------------------------
fractional shares or provide for the issuance of scrip, all on such terms and
under such conditions as they may determine. Notwithstanding any other provision
of the Declaration of Trust or these Bylaws, the Trustees may issue units
consisting of different securities of the Trust. Any security issued in a unit
shall have the same characteristics as any identical securities issued by the
Trust, except that the Trustees may provide that for a specified period
securities of the Trust issued in such unit may be transferred on the books of
the Trust only in such unit.

of the Trust may be authorized and declared by the Trustees, subject to the
provisions of law and the Declaration of Trust. Dividends may be paid in cash,
property or shares of the Trust, subject to the provisions of law and the
Declaration of Trust.

     Section 2. CONTINGENCIES. Before payment of any dividends, there may be set
                -------------
aside out of any funds of the Trust available for dividends such sum or sums as
the Trustees may from time to time, in their absolute discretion, think proper
as a reserve fund for contingencies, for equalizing dividends, for repairing or
maintaining any property of the Trust or for such other purpose as the Trustees
shall determine to be in the best interest of the Trust, and the Trustees may
modify or abolish any such reserve in the manner in which it was created.

Trust. The seal shall have inscribed thereon the name of the Trust and the year
of its formation. The Trustees may authorize one or more duplicate seals and
provide for the custody thereof.

     Section 2. AFFIXING SEAL. Whenever the Trust is required to place its seal
                -------------

or regulation relating to a seal to place the word "(SEAL)" adjacent to the
signature of the person authorized to execute the document on behalf of the
Trust.

                    INDEMNIFICATION AND ADVANCES FOR EXPENSES

     To the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law in effect from time to
time, the Trust, without requiring a preliminary determination of the ultimate
entitlement to indemnification, shall indemnify (a) any Trustee, officer or
shareholder or any former Trustee, officer or shareholder (including among the
foregoing, for all purposes of this Article X and without limitation, any
individual who, while a Trustee, officer or shareholder and at the express
request of the Trust, serves or has served another corporation, partnership,
joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or any other enterprise as a
director, officer, shareholder, partner or trustee of such corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise)
who has been successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of a
proceeding to which he was made a party by reason of service in such capacity,
against reasonable expenses incurred by him in connection with the proceeding,
(b) any Trustee or officer or any former Trustee or officer against any claim or
liability to which he may become subject by reason of such status unless it is
established that (i) his act or omission was material to the matter giving rise
to the proceeding and was committed in bad faith or was the result of active and
deliberate dishonesty, (ii) he actually received an improper personal benefit in
money, property or services or (iii) in the case of a criminal proceeding, he
had reasonable cause to believe that his act or omission was unlawful and (c)
each shareholder or former shareholder against any claim or liability to which
he may become subject by reason of such status. In addition, the Trust shall pay
or reimburse, in advance of final disposition of a proceeding, reasonable
expenses incurred by a Trustee, officer or shareholder or former Trustee,
officer or shareholder made a party to a proceeding by reason such status,
provided that, in the case of a Trustee or officer, the Trust shall have
received (i) a written affirmation by the Trustee or officer of his good faith
belief that he has met the applicable standard of conduct necessary for
indemnification by the Trust as authorized by these Bylaws and (ii) a written
undertaking by or on its behalf to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the
Trust if it shall ultimately be determined that the applicable standard of
conduct was not met. The Trust may, with the approval of its Trustees, provide
such indemnification or payment

                                      -17-

<PAGE>

or reimbursement of expenses to any Trustee, officer or shareholder or any
former Trustee, officer or shareholder who served a predecessor of the Trust and
to any employee or agent of the Trust or a predecessor of the Trust. Neither the
amendment nor repeal of this Article, nor the adoption or amendment of any other
provision of the Declaration of Trust or these Bylaws inconsistent with this
Article, shall apply to or affect in any respect the applicability of this
Article with respect to any act or failure to act which occurred prior to such
amendment, repeal or adoption.

     Any indemnification or payment or reimbursement of the expenses permitted
by these Bylaws shall be furnished in accordance with the procedures provided
for indemnification or payment or reimbursement of expenses, as the case may be,
under Section 2-418 of the MGCL for directors of Maryland corporations. The

     Whenever any notice is required to be given pursuant to the Declaration of
Trust or Bylaws or pursuant to applicable law, a waiver thereof in writing,

the time stated therein, shall be deemed equivalent to the giving of such
notice. Neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of any meeting
need be set forth in the waiver of notice, unless specifically required by
statute. The attendance of any person at any meeting shall constitute a waiver
of notice of such meeting, except where such person attends a meeting for the
express purpose of objecting to the transaction of any business on the ground
that the meeting is not lawfully called or convened.

by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall give each Bank prompt notice on the day of receipt of such timely telephone call or Notice of
Borrowing of such proposed Borrowing by telecopier. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be in writing or by telecopier specifying the requested (i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advances comprising such Borrowing, (iii) aggregate amount of such
Borrowing, and (iv) if such Borrowing is to be comprised of LIBOR Advances, the Interest Period for each such Advance. In the case of a proposed Borrowing comprised of LIBOR Advances, the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the
applicable interest rate under Section 2.06(b). Each Bank shall, before 12:00 Noon (Chicago, Illinois time) on the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the Administrative Agent at its address
referred to in Section 10.02, or such other location as the Administrative Agent may specify by notice to the Banks, in same day funds, such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing. Upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in
Article III, the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower at its account with the Administrative Agent or to such other account as the Borrower shall specify to the Administrative Agent in writing. 
  
 (b) Conversions and Continuations. In order to elect
to Convert or continue Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing under this Section, the Borrower shall deliver an irrevocable Notice of Conversion or Continuation to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s office no later
than 12:00 Noon (Chicago, Illinois time) (i) on the date which is at least three Business Days in advance of the proposed Conversion or continuation date in the case of a Conversion to or a continuation of a Borrowing comprised of LIBOR Advances and
(ii) on the Business Day prior to the proposed conversion date in the case of a Conversion to a Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Advances. Each such Notice of Conversion or Continuation shall be in writing or by telecopier, specifying (i) the
requested Conversion or continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the Borrowing amount and Type of the Advances to be Converted or continued, (iii) whether a Conversion or continuation is requested, and if a Conversion, into what Type
of Advances, and (iv) in the case of a Conversion to, or a continuation of, LIBOR Advances, the requested Interest Period. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion or Continuation under this paragraph, the Administrative Agent shall provide
each Bank with a copy thereof and, in the case of a Conversion to or a continuation of LIBOR Advances, notify each Bank of the applicable interest rate under Section 2.06(b). For purposes other than the conditions set forth in Section 3.02, the
portion of Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing that are Converted to Advances of another Type shall constitute a new Borrowing. If the Borrower shall fail to specify an Interest Period for a LIBOR Advance including the continuation of a
LIBOR Advance, the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected a Base Rate Advance. 
  
 (c) Certain Limitations. Notwithstanding anything in paragraphs (a) and (b) above: 
  
 (i) in the case of LIBOR Advances each Borrowing shall be in
an aggregate amount of not less than $1,000,000 or greater multiples of $100,000; 
  
 (ii) except for Borrowings for the acquisition by the Borrower or its Subsidiary of Investments permitted under Sections 6.07 (c) and (d),
the Borrower may not request Borrowings on more than three days in any calendar month. 
  

 -29- 

 (iii) at no time shall there be more than eight (8) Interest Periods applicable to
outstanding LIBOR Advances; 
  
 (iv) the Borrower
may not select LIBOR Advances for any Borrowing to be made, Converted or continued if a Default has occurred and is continuing; 
  
 (v) if any Bank shall, at any time prior to the making of any requested Borrowing comprised of LIBOR Advances, notify the Administrative
Agent that the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation after the date hereof makes it unlawful, or that any central bank or other governmental authority asserts that it is unlawful, for such Bank or its
LIBOR Lending Office to perform its obligations under this Agreement to make LIBOR Advances or to fund or maintain LIBOR Advances, then such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing shall be made as a Base Rate Advance, provided that such Base
Rate Advance shall be considered part of the same Borrowing and interest on such Base Rate Advance shall be due and payable at the same time that interest on the LIBOR Advances comprising the remainder of such Borrowing shall be due and payable; and
such Bank agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such designation would avoid the effect of this
paragraph and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Bank; 
  
 (vi) if the Administrative Agent is unable to determine the LIBOR for LIBOR Advances comprising any requested Borrowing, the right of the
Borrower to select LIBOR Advances for such Borrowing or for any subsequent Borrowing shall be suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Banks that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and each
Advance comprising such Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Advance; 
  
 (vii) if the Required Lenders shall, at least one Business Day before the date of any requested Borrowing, notify the Administrative Agent that the LIBOR for LIBOR Advances comprising such Borrowing will not
adequately reflect the cost to such Banks of making or funding their respective LIBOR Advances, as the case may be, for such Borrowing, the right of the Borrower to select LIBOR Advances for such Borrowing or for any subsequent Borrowing shall be
suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Banks that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist, and each Advance comprising such Borrowing shall be a Base Rate Advance; and 
  
 (viii) if the Borrower shall fail to select the duration or
continuation of any Interest Period for any LIBOR Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest Period” in Section 1.01 and paragraph (a) or (b) above, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify
the Borrower and the Banks and such Advances will be made available to the Borrower on the date of such Borrowing as Base Rate Advances or, if an existing Advance, Converted into Base Rate Advances. 
  

 -30- 

 (d) Notices Irrevocable. Each Notice of Borrowing and Notice of Conversion or
Continuation shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of any Borrowing which the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of LIBOR Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Bank against any loss, out-of-pocket
cost or expense incurred by such Bank as a result of any condition precedent for Borrowing set forth in Article III not being satisfied for any reason, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense actually incurred by reason of the
liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Bank to fund the Advance to be made by such Bank as part of such Borrowing when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date. 
  
 (e) Administrative Agent Reliance. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank before the date of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume
that such Bank has made its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with paragraph (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made its Pro Rata Share of such Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, such Bank and the Borrower
severally agree to immediately repay to the Administrative Agent on demand such corresponding amount, together with interest on such amount, for each day from the date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is
repaid to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable on each such day to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Bank, the Federal Funds Rate for each such day. If such Bank
shall repay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding amount and interest as provided above, such corresponding amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement even though not
made on the same day as the other Advances comprising such Borrowing. 
  
 (f) Bank Obligations Several. The failure of any Bank to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing shall not relieve any other Bank of its obligation, if any, to make its Advance on the date of
such Borrowing. No Bank shall be responsible for the failure of any other Bank to make the Advance to be made by such other Bank on the date of any Borrowing. 
  

(g) Notes. The indebtedness of the Borrower to each Bank resulting from Advances owing to such Bank shall be evidenced by the
Note of the Borrower payable to the order of such Bank in substantially the form of Exhibit A. 
  
 Section 2.03. Fees. 
  
 (a) Commitment Fees. For the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Maturity Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Bank a commitment fee on the
average daily amount by which such Bank’s Commitment exceeds the sum of such Bank’s outstanding Advances and Pro Rata Share of the Letter of Credit Exposure at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin based upon a 360-day year. Such

  

 -31- 

 
fees shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears for those quarters ending on the last day of each March, June, September and December (i) on the date
which is 30 days following the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and (ii) on the Maturity Date. 
  
 (b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Banks, fees in respect of
all Letters of Credit outstanding at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin calculated based upon a 360-day year and in respect of the maximum amount available from time to time to be drawn under such outstanding Letters of Credit, payable
quarterly in arrears for those quarters ending on the last day of each March, June, September and December (i) on the date which is 30 days following the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and (ii) on the Maturity Date. In
addition, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuing Bank for its own account a fee on the average daily amount of the aggregate undrawn maximum face amount of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank at a rate per annum equal to .125%, such
fees due and payable quarterly in arrears (i) on the date which is 30 days following the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December and (ii) on the Maturity Date. 
  
 (c) Facilitators’ Fees and Up-front Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent
for the benefit of the Facilitators the arrangement fees set forth in the Fee Letter and the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Banks the up-front fees set forth in the Fee Letter, in each case as and when the
same are due and payable pursuant to the terms of the Fee Letter. 
  
 (d) Administrative Agent Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent’s account the fees set forth in the BMO Fee Letter (the “BMO Fee Letter”)
dated November 20, 2003, by and between such parties, as and when the same are due and payable pursuant to the terms of such BMO Fee Letter. 
  
 Section 2.04. Reduction of the Commitments. The Borrower may, upon at least three Business Days’ prior notice to the Administrative Agent,
permanently terminate in whole or permanently reduce ratably in part the Commitments of the Banks; provided, however, that (i) each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount of not less than $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of
$1,000,000 in excess thereof, (ii) no such reduction shall result in a Borrowing Base deficiency as provided in Section 2.07(c)(i), and (iii) no such reduction shall result in the Total Commitments of the Banks being less than $100,000,000.

  
 Section 2.05. Repayment of Advances. The Borrower shall
repay the outstanding principal amount of each Advance on the Maturity Date. 
  
 Section 2.06. Interest . The Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance made by each Bank from the date of such Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the
following rates per annum: 
  
 (a) Base Rate
Advances. If such Advance is a Base Rate Advance, a rate per annum (computed on the actual number of days elapsed, including the first day and excluding the last, based on a 365 day year) equal at all times to the lesser of (i) the 

  

 -32- 

 
Adjusted Base Rate in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin and (ii) the Maximum Rate, payable in arrears on the first day of each calendar
month, provided that during the continuance of an Event of Default, Base Rate Advances shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal at all times to the lesser of (i) the rate required to be paid on such Advance immediately prior to the date on
which such Event of Default commenced plus two percent (2%) and (ii) the Maximum Rate. 
  
 (b) LIBOR Advances. If such Advance is a LIBOR Advance, a rate per annum (computed on the actual number of days elapsed, including
the first day and excluding the last, based on a 360 day year) equal at all times during the Interest Period for such Advance to the lesser of (i) the LIBOR for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin and (ii) the Maximum Rate, payable in
arrears on the last day of such Interest Period, and on the date such LIBOR Advance shall be paid in full, and, with respect to LIBOR Advances having an Interest Period in excess of one month, the numerically corresponding day to the initial day of
such Interest Period in each calendar month during such Interest Period; provided, however, that if there is no numerically corresponding day in any such month or if the Interest Period begins on the last Business Day of a calendar month,
interest shall be payable on the last Business Day of each calendar month during the Interest Period; provided further that during the continuance of an Event of Default, LIBOR Advances shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal at all
times to the lesser of (i) the rate required to be paid on such Advance immediately prior to the date on which such Event of Default commenced plus two percent (2%) and (ii) the Maximum Rate. 
  
 (c) Usury Recapture. In the event the rate of
interest chargeable under this Agreement or the Notes at any time is greater than the Maximum Rate, the unpaid principal amount of the Notes shall bear interest at the Maximum Rate until the total amount of interest paid or accrued on the Notes
equals the amount of interest which would have been paid or accrued on the Notes if the stated rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect. In the event, upon payment in full of the Notes, the total amount of
interest paid or accrued under the terms of this Agreement and the Notes is less than the total amount of interest which would have been paid or accrued if the rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had, at all times, been in effect, then the
Borrower shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, pay the Administrative Agent for the account of the Banks an amount equal to the difference between (i) the lesser of (A) the amount of interest which would have been charged on the Notes if
the Maximum Rate had, at all times, been in effect and (B) the amount of interest which would have accrued on the Notes if the rates of interest set forth in this Agreement had at all times been in effect and (ii) the amount of interest actually
paid or accrued under this Agreement on the Notes. In the event the Banks ever receive, collect or apply as interest any sum in excess of the Maximum Rate, such excess amount shall, to the extent permitted by law, be applied to the reduction of the
principal balance of the Notes, and if no such principal is then outstanding, such excess or part thereof remaining shall be paid to the Borrower. 
  

 -33- 

 (d) Other Amounts Overdue. If any amount payable under this Agreement other than
the Advances is not paid when due and payable, including without limitation, accrued interest and fees, then such overdue amount shall accrue interest hereon due and payable on demand at a rate per annum equal to the Adjusted Base Rate plus two
percent (2%), from the date such amount became due until the date such amount is paid in full. 
  
 Section 2.07. Prepayments. 
  
 (a) Right to Prepay. The Borrower shall have no right to prepay any principal amount of any Advance except as provided in this Section 2.07. 
  
 (b) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may elect to prepay any of the Advances, after giving by 12:00
Noon (Chicago, Illinois time) (i) in the case of LIBOR Advances, at least three Business Days’ prior written notice or (ii) in case of Base Rate Advances, at least one Business Day’s prior written notice to the Administrative Agent stating
the proposed date and aggregate principal amount of such prepayment, and if applicable, the relevant Interest Period for the Advances to be prepaid. If any such notice is given, the Borrower shall prepay Advances comprising part of the same
Borrowing in whole or ratably in part in an aggregate principal amount equal to the amount specified in such notice, and with respect to LIBOR Advances shall also pay accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the principal amount prepaid
and amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.08 as a result of such prepayment being made on such date; provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount not less than $1,000,000 and
in integral multiples of $100,000. 
  
 (c)
Mandatory Prepayments. 
  
 (i)
Borrowing Base Deficiency. On or prior to the fifth (5th) Business Day following a Borrowing Base Determination Date occurring under the provisions of Section 2.14, the Borrower shall be required to prepay Advances in an aggregate amount
equal to the excess of (A) the aggregate amount of outstanding Advances and Letter of Credit Exposure on such date over (B) the lesser of (1) the Borrowing Base, as determined on such Borrowing Base Determination Date or (2) the Total Commitments at
such time (or, upon payment in full of all outstanding Advances, to deposit into the Cash Collateral Account an amount equal to the amount of the Letter of Credit Exposure which exceeds the Borrowing Base). 
  
 (ii) Accrued Interest. Each prepayment pursuant to
this Section 2.07(c) of a LIBOR Advance shall be accompanied by accrued interest on the amount prepaid to the date of such prepayment and amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.08 as a result of such prepayment being made on such
date. 
  
 (d) Ratable Payments. Each
payment of any Advance pursuant to this Section 2.07 or any other provision of this Agreement shall be made in a manner such that all Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing are paid in whole or ratably in part. 
  

 -34- 

 (e) Effect of Notice. All notices given pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be
irrevocable and binding upon the Borrower. 
  
 Section 2.08.
Breakage Costs. If (a) any payment of principal of any LIBOR Advance is made other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance as a result of any payment pursuant to Section 2.07 or the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes
pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise; (b) any Conversion of a LIBOR Advance is made other than on the last day of the Interest Period for such Advance pursuant to Section 2.12 or otherwise; or (c) the Borrower fails to make a principal or interest
payment with respect to any LIBOR Advance on the date such payment is due and payable, the Borrower shall, within 10 days of any written demand sent by any Bank to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, pay to the Administrative Agent for
the account of such Bank any amounts (without duplication of any other amounts payable in respect of breakage costs) required to compensate such Bank for any losses (other than lost profit), out-of-pocket costs or expenses which it may reasonably
incur as a result of such payment or nonpayment, including, without limitation, any loss, cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by any Bank to fund or maintain such Advance.

  
 Section 2.09. Increased Costs. 
  
 (a) LIBOR Advances. If, due to either (i) the
introduction of or any change (other than any change by way of imposition or increase of reserve requirements included in the calculation of the LIBOR) in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation enacted, issued or promulgated after the
date of this Agreement or (ii) the compliance with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) enacted, issued or promulgated after the date of this Agreement, there shall
be any increase in the cost to any Bank of agreeing to make or making, funding or maintaining LIBOR Advances, then the Borrower shall from time to time, within 10 days of written demand by such Bank (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative
Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank additional amounts (without duplication of any other amounts payable in respect of increased costs) sufficient to compensate such Bank for such increased cost; provided,
however, that, before making any such demand, each Bank agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of
such a designation would avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such increased cost and would not, in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. A certificate as to the amount of such increased cost and
detailing the calculation of such cost submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Bank at the time such Bank demands payment under this Section shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

 
 (b) Capital Adequacy. If any Bank or the Issuing
Bank determines in good faith that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) enacted, issued or promulgated after the date of this
Agreement affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Bank or the Issuing Bank and that the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the existence of such Bank’s commitment to lend or
the Issuing 

  

 -35- 

 
Bank’s commitment to issue Letters of Credit or any Bank’s commitment to risk participate in Letters of Credit and other commitments of this type,
then, upon 30 days prior written notice by such Bank or the Issuing Bank (with a copy of any such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank or to the Issuing
Bank, as the case may be, from time to time as specified by such Bank or the Issuing Bank, additional amounts (without duplication of any other amounts payable in respect of increased costs) sufficient to compensate such Bank or the Issuing Bank, in
light of such circumstances, (i) with respect to such Bank, to the extent that such Bank reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Bank’s commitment to lend under this Agreement or its commitment to
risk participate in Letters of Credit and (ii) with respect to the Issuing Bank, to the extent that such Issuing Bank reasonably determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the issuance or maintenance of the Letters of Credit. A
certificate as to such amounts and detailing the calculation of such amounts submitted to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent by such Bank or the Issuing Bank shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 

 
 (c) Letters of Credit. If any change in any law or
regulation or in the interpretation thereof by any court or administrative or Governmental Authority charged with the administration thereof enacted, issued or promulgated after the date of this Agreement shall either (i) impose, modify, or deem
applicable any reserve, special deposit, or similar requirement against letters of credit issued by, or assets held by, or deposits in or for the account of, Issuing Bank or any Bank or (ii) impose on Issuing Bank or any Bank any other condition
regarding the provisions of this Agreement relating to the Letters of Credit or any Letter of Credit Obligations, and the result of any event referred to in the preceding clause (i) or (ii) shall be to increase the cost to Issuing Bank of issuing or
maintaining any Letter of Credit, or increase the cost to such Bank of its risk participation in any Letter of Credit (which increase in cost shall be determined by Issuing Bank’s or such Bank’s reasonable allocation of the aggregate of
such cost increases resulting from such event), then, within 10 days of written demand by Issuing Bank or such Bank (with a copy sent to the Administrative Agent), as the case may be, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of Issuing Bank or Bank, as the case may be, from time to time as specified by Issuing Bank or such Bank, additional amounts which shall be sufficient to compensate such Issuing Bank or such Bank for such increased cost. Issuing Bank and
each Bank agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts (consistent with internal policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office for the booking of its Letters of Credit or risk participations if the
making of such designation would avoid the effect of this paragraph and would not, in the reasonable judgment of Issuing Bank or such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to Issuing Bank or such Bank, as the case may be. A certificate as to such
increased cost incurred by Issuing Bank or such Bank, as the case may be, as a result of any event mentioned in clause (i) or (ii) above, and detailing the calculation of such increased costs submitted by Issuing Bank or such Bank to the Borrower
and the Administrative Agent, shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. 
  
 Section 2.10. Payments and Computations. 
  
 (a) Payment Procedures. Except if otherwise set forth herein, the Borrower shall make each payment under this Agreement and under
the Notes not later than 12:00 Noon (Chicago, 

  

 -36- 

 
Illinois time) on the day when due in Dollars to the Administrative Agent without setoff, deduction or counterclaim at the location referred to in the Notes
(or such other location as the Administrative Agent shall designate in writing to the Borrower) in same day funds. The Administrative Agent will on the same day such payment is deemed received from the Borrower cause to be distributed like funds
relating to the payment of principal, interest or fees ratably (other than amounts payable solely to the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, or a specific Bank pursuant to Section 2.03(b), 2.03(c), 2.03(d), 2.06(c), 2.08, 2.09, 2.11, 2.12, or
2.13(c) but after taking into account payments effected pursuant to Section 10.04) to the Banks in accordance with each Bank’s Pro Rata Share for the account of their respective Applicable Lending Offices, and like funds relating to the payment
of any other amount payable to any Bank or Issuing Bank for the account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. If and to the extent that the Administrative Agent shall not have so
made payment to a Bank on the day required under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent agrees to immediately pay such Bank such payment, together with interest on such amount, for each day from the date such amount was deemed received by the
Administrative Agent until the date such amount is paid to such Bank at the Federal Funds Rate for each such day. 
  
 (b) Computations. All computations of interest based on the Adjusted Base Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the
basis of a year of 365 days and all computations of fees and interest based on the LIBOR and the Federal Funds Rate shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days, in each case for the actual number of days (including
the first day, but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or fees are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error. 
  
 (c) Non-Business Day Payments.
Whenever any payment shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or
fees, as the case may be; provided, however, that if such extension would cause payment of interest on or principal of LIBOR Advances to be made in the next following calendar month, such payment shall be made on the next preceding Business
Day. 
  
 (d) Administrative Agent
Reliance. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received written notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks 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 date an amount equal to the amount then due
such Bank. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank, together with interest,
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 for each such day. 
  

 -37- 

 (e) Application of Payments. Unless otherwise specified in Section 2.07 hereof,
whenever any payment received by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement is insufficient to pay in full all amounts then due and payable under this Agreement and the Notes, such payment shall be distributed and applied by the Administrative
Agent and the Banks in the following order: first, to the payment of fees and expenses due and payable to the Administrative Agent under and in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document and the payment of fees and expenses
due and payable to the Syndication Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Bank under Section 10.04, ratably among such parties in accordance with the aggregate amount of such payments owed to each such party; second, to the payment of all expenses
due and payable under Section 2.11(c), ratably among the Banks in accordance with the aggregate amount of such payments owed to each such Bank; third, to the payment of fees due and payable to the Issuing Bank pursuant to Section 2.03(b);
fourth, to the payment of all other fees due and payable under Section 2.03; fifth, to the payment of the interest accrued on all of the Notes and the interest accrued on Letter of Credit Obligations, ratably among the Banks in
accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares; and sixth, to the payment of the principal amount of all of the Notes and all other Letter of Credit Obligations, regardless of whether any such amount is then due and payable, ratably among
the Banks in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. 
  
 (f) Register. The Administrative Agent shall record in the Register the Commitment and the Advances from time to time of each Bank and each repayment or prepayment in respect to the principal amount of such
Advances of each Bank. Any such recordation shall be conclusive and binding on the Borrower and each Bank, absent manifest error; provided however, that failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect
the Borrower’s obligations hereunder in respect of such Advances. 
  
 Section 2.11. Taxes. 
  
 (a)
No Deduction for Certain Taxes. Any and all payments by the Borrower shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.10, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or
withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding, in the case of each Bank, Issuing 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, Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision of such jurisdiction or by the jurisdiction of such Bank’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision of such
jurisdiction (all such non excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If the Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect
of any sum payable to any Bank, Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be necessary so that, after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under
this Section 2.11), such Bank, Issuing 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; provided, however, that if the Borrower’s
obligation to deduct or withhold Taxes is caused solely by such Bank’s, Issuing Bank’s, or the Administrative Agent’s failure to provide the forms described in paragraph (e) of this Section 2.11 and such Bank, Issuing Bank, or the
Administrative Agent 

  

 -38- 

 
could have provided such forms, no such increase shall be required; (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions; and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full
amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable Legal Requirements. 
  
 (b) Other Taxes. In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or
property taxes, charges or similar levies which arise from any payment made or from the execution, delivery or registration of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement, the Notes, or the other Credit Documents (hereinafter referred to as
“Other Taxes”). 
  
 (c)
Indemnification. Subject to the proviso of Section 2.11(a), the Borrower indemnifies each Bank, Issuing Bank, and the Administrative Agent for the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes
imposed by any Governmental Authority on amounts payable under this Section 2.11) paid by such Bank, Issuing Bank, or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and any liability (including interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted. Each payment required to be made by the Borrower in respect of this indemnification shall be made to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of any party claiming
such indemnification within 30 days from the date the Borrower receives written demand detailing the calculation of such amounts therefor from the Administrative Agent on behalf of itself as Administrative Agent, Issuing Bank, or any such Bank. If
any Bank, the Administrative Agent, or Issuing Bank receives a refund in respect of any Taxes or Other Taxes paid by the Borrower under this paragraph (c), such Bank, the Administrative Agent, or Issuing Bank, as the case may be, shall promptly pay
to the Borrower the Borrower’s share of such refund. 
  
 (d) Evidence of Tax Payments. The Borrower will pay prior to delinquency all Taxes and Other Taxes payable in respect of any payment. Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the Borrower will
furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 10.02, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment of such Taxes or Other Taxes. 
  
 (e) Foreign Bank Withholding Exemption. Each Bank and each Issuing Bank that is not incorporated
under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof agrees that it will deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the date of this Agreement or upon the effectiveness of any Assignment and Acceptance two duly completed
copies of the Prescribed Forms, certifying in each case that such Bank is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement and the Notes payable to it, without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. Each Bank which
delivers to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent a Prescribed Form further undertakes to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two further copies of a replacement Prescribed Form, on or before the date that any such Prescribed
Form expires or becomes obsolete or after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and such extensions or renewals thereof as may reasonably be
requested by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent certifying that such Bank is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income taxes. If an 

  

 -39- 

 
event (including without limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the date on which any delivery required by the preceding
sentence would otherwise be required which renders all such forms inapplicable or which would prevent any Bank from duly completing and delivering any such Prescribed Form with respect to it and such Bank advises the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent that it is not capable of receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax, such Bank shall not be required to deliver such forms. The Borrower shall withhold tax at the rate and in the manner
required by the laws of the United States with respect to payments made to a Bank failing to timely provide the requisite Prescribed Forms. 
  
 Section 2.12. Illegality. If any Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the introduction of or any change in or in the
interpretation of any Legal Requirement makes it unlawful, or that any central bank or other Governmental Authority asserts that it is unlawful for such Bank or its LIBOR Lending Office to perform its obligations under this Agreement to maintain any
LIBOR Advances of such Bank then outstanding hereunder, then, notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower shall, if demanded by such Bank by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent no later than 12:00 Noon (Chicago,
Illinois time), (a) if not prohibited by Legal Requirement to maintain such LIBOR Advances for the duration of the Interest Period, on the last day of the Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Advance of such Bank or (b) if prohibited by Legal
Requirement to maintain such LIBOR Advances for the duration of the Interest Period, on the second Business Day following its receipt of such notice from such Bank, Convert all LIBOR Advances of such Bank then outstanding to Base Rate Advances, and
pay accrued interest on the principal amount Converted to the date of such Conversion and amounts, if any, required to be paid pursuant to Section 2.08 as a result of such Conversion being made on such date. Each Bank agrees to use commercially
reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal policies and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Applicable Lending Office if the making of such designation would avoid the effect of this paragraph and would not, in the
reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. 
  
 Section 2.13. Letters of Credit. 
  
 (a) Issuance. From time to time from the date of this Agreement until three months before the Maturity Date, at the request of the Borrower, the Issuing Bank shall, on any Business Day and on the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth, issue, increase, decrease, amend, or extend the Expiration Date of Letters of Credit for the account of the Borrower (for its own benefit or for the benefit of any of its Subsidiaries). No Letter of Credit will be
issued, increased, or extended (i) if such issuance, increase, or extension would cause the Letter of Credit Exposure to exceed the lesser of (x) $25,000,000 or (y) an amount equal to (A) the lesser of the Borrowing Base or the Total Commitments
less (B) the aggregate outstanding Advances and Letter of Credit Exposure at such time; (ii) unless such Letter of Credit has an Expiration Date not later than the earlier of (A) one year after the date of issuance thereof (unless the
Administrative Agent shall otherwise consent in writing to a later date) and (B) on or prior to the Maturity Date; (iii) unless the face amount of such Letter of Credit is equal to or greater than $100,000 and such Letter of Credit is otherwise in
form and substance acceptable to the respective Issuing Bank; (iv) unless such Letter of Credit is a standby letter of credit; (v) unless 

  

 -40- 

 
the Borrower has delivered to the respective Issuing Bank the completed and executed Letter of Credit Documents (other than the Letter of Credit) on such
Issuing Bank’s standard form, which shall contain terms no more restrictive than the terms of this Agreement; (vi) unless such Letter of Credit is governed by the International Standby Practices (1998) (“ISP”) or any successor
to the ISP; and (vii) unless no Default has occurred and is continuing or would result from the issuance of such Letter of Credit. If the terms of any of the Letter of Credit Documents referred to in the foregoing clause (v) conflicts with the terms
of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall control. 
  
 (b) Participations. On the date of the issuance or increase of any Letter of Credit on or after the Effective Date in accordance with provisions of the preceding Section 2.13(a), each Issuing Bank shall be
deemed to have sold to each other Bank and each other Bank shall have been deemed to have purchased from such Issuing Bank a participation in the Letter of Credit Exposure related to the Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank equal to such
Bank’s Pro Rata Share at such date and such sale and purchase shall otherwise be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Each Issuing Bank shall promptly notify each such participant Bank by telex, telephone, or telecopy of each Letter
of Credit of such Issuing Bank issued, increased or decreased, and the actual dollar amount of such Bank’s participation in such Letter of Credit. Each Bank’s obligation to purchase participating interests pursuant to this Section and to
reimburse the respective Issuing Bank for such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of any payment under a Letter of Credit by such Issuing Bank not reimbursed in full by the Borrower shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any
circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any of the circumstances described in paragraph (d) below, (ii) the occurrence and continuance of a Default, (iii) an adverse change in the financial condition of the Borrower or any Guarantor, or
(iv) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, except for any such circumstance, happening or event constituting or arising from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such
Issuing Bank. 
  
 (c) Reimbursement. The
Borrower shall pay promptly on demand to each Issuing Bank in respect of each Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank an amount equal to any amount paid by such Issuing Bank under or in respect of such Letter of Credit. In the event any Issuing
Bank makes a payment pursuant to a request for draw presented under a Letter of Credit and such payment is not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower upon demand, such Issuing Bank shall give notice of such payment to the Administrative Agent and the
Banks, and each Bank shall promptly reimburse such Issuing Bank for such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such payment, and such reimbursement shall be deemed for all purposes of this Agreement to constitute a Base Rate Advance to the Borrower from
such Bank. If such reimbursement is not made by any Bank to any Issuing Bank on the same day on which such Issuing Bank shall have made payment on any such draw, such Bank shall pay interest thereon to such Issuing Bank for each such day from the
date such payment should have been made until the date repaid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate for each such day. The Borrower hereby unconditionally and irrevocably authorizes, empowers, and directs the Administrative Agent and
the Banks to record and otherwise treat each payment under a Letter of Credit not immediately reimbursed by the Borrower as a Borrowing comprised of Base Rate Advances to the Borrower. 
  

 -41- 

 (d) Obligations Unconditional. Except to the extent provided in Section 2.13(e),
the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement in respect of each Letter of Credit shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement under all circumstances, notwithstanding the
following circumstances: 
  
 (i) any lack of
validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Documents; 
  
 (ii) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Letter of Credit Documents; 
  
 (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right which the Borrower or any Bank or any other Person may have at any time
against any beneficiary or transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Persons for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the respective Issuing Bank or any other Person or entity, whether in connection with this Agreement,
the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or in any Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction; 
  
 (iv) any statement or any other document presented under such Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient
in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect to the extent the respective Issuing Bank would not be liable therefor pursuant to the following paragraph (e); 
  
 (v) payment by the respective Issuing Bank under such Letter
of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; or 
  
 (vi) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. 
  
 (e) Liability of Issuing Banks. The Borrower assumes
all risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use of such Letter of Credit. No Issuing Bank, nor any other Bank, nor any of their respective officers or directors shall be liable or
responsible for: 
  
 (i) the use which may be
made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; 
  
 (ii) the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to be in
any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; 
  
 (iii) payment by such Issuing Bank against presentation of documents which do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit, including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the
relevant Letter of Credit; or 
  

 -42- 

 (iv) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any
Letter of Credit (including such Issuing Bank’s own negligence); 
  
 except that the Borrower shall have a claim against such Issuing Bank to the extent of any direct, as opposed to consequential, damages suffered by the Borrower which the Borrower proves were caused by (A) such Issuing Bank’s
willful misconduct or gross negligence in determining whether documents presented under a Letter of Credit comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit or (B) such Issuing Bank’s gross negligence in failing to make lawful payment under any
Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and certificate strictly complying with the terms and conditions of such Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, any Issuing Bank may accept documents that
appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for further investigation. 
  
 (f) Cash Collateral. In the event that any Letter of Credit remains outstanding on that date three (3) Business Days prior to the
Maturity Date, the Borrower shall deposit into the Cash Collateral Account on or prior to such date an amount of cash equal to the outstanding Letter of Credit Exposure as security for the Obligations to the extent the Letter of Credit Obligations
are not otherwise paid at such time. 
  
 Section 2.14.
Determination of Borrowing Base. The Borrowing Base shall be determined by the Administrative Agent, as follows: 
  
 (a) Quarterly. On the 45th day following each calendar quarter (except when such calendar quarter ends on December 31, in which
event it shall be on the 60th day following such calendar quarter) the Administrative Agent shall determine the Borrowing Base upon receipt of a Borrowing Base Certificate setting forth the components of the Borrowing Base dated as of the last day
of the immediately preceding calendar quarter. 
  
 (b) Property Adjustments. Following each addition or deletion of a Hotel Property as an Eligible Property (an “Adjustment Event”), and the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a Property Adjustment Report with
respect thereto, the Administrative Agent shall adjust the Borrowing Base accordingly. 
  
 (c) Reduction of Commitments. Following each reduction of the Commitments pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.04. 

 
 (d) Notice of Borrowing Base Change. Promptly
following any date the Borrowing Base is re-determined in accordance with the preceding paragraphs, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Banks and the Borrower of the new Borrowing Base. 
  
 Section 2.15. Bank Replacement. 
  
 (a) Right to Replace. The Borrower shall have the
right to replace each Bank affected by a condition under Section 2.02(c)(v), 2.09, 2.11, or 2.12 for more than 90 days (each such 

  

 -43- 

 
affected Bank, an “Affected Bank”) in accordance with the procedures in this Section 2.15 and provided that no reduction of the total
Commitments occurs as a result thereof. 
  
 (b)
First Right of Refusal; Replacement. (i) Upon the occurrence of any condition permitting the replacement of a Bank, the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion shall have the right to reallocate the amount of the Commitments of the
Affected Banks, including without limitation to Persons which are not already party to this Agreement but which qualify as Eligible Assignees, which election shall be made by written notice within 30 days after the date such condition occurs.

  
 (ii) If the aggregate amount of the
reallocated Commitments is less than the Commitments of the Affected Banks, (A) the respective Commitments of the Banks which have received such reallocated Commitments shall be increased by the respective amounts of their proposed reallocations,
and (B) the Borrower shall have the right to add additional Banks which are Eligible Assignees to this Agreement to replace such Affected Banks, which additional Banks would have aggregate Commitments no greater than those of the Affected Banks
minus the amounts of the Commitments already reallocated. 
  
 (c) Procedure. Any assumptions of Commitments pursuant to this Section 2.15 shall be (i) made by the purchasing Bank or Eligible Assignee and the selling Bank entering into an Assignment and Assumption and by
following the procedures in Section 10.06 for adding a Bank. In connection with the reallocation of the Commitments of any Bank pursuant to the foregoing paragraph (b), each Bank with a reallocated Commitment shall purchase from the Affected Banks
at par such Bank’s ratable share of the outstanding Advances of the Affected Banks and assume such Bank’s ratable share of the Affected Banks’ Letter of Credit Exposure. 
  
 Section 2.16. Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Bank shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through
the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) on account of its Advances or its share of Letter of Credit Obligations in excess of its Pro Rata Share of payments on account of the Advances or Letter of Credit Obligations obtained by all the
Banks, such Bank shall notify the Administrative Agent and forthwith purchase from the other Banks such participations in the Advances made by them or Letter of Credit Obligations held by them as shall be necessary to cause such purchasing Bank to
share the excess payment ratably in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement with each of them; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such purchasing Bank, such purchase
from each Bank shall be rescinded and such Bank shall repay to the purchasing Bank the purchase price to the extent of such Bank’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of the participation sold by such Bank to the
purchasing Bank as a result of such excess payment to (b) the total amount of such excess payment) of such recovery, together with an amount equal to such Bank’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (a) the amount of such Bank’s
required repayment to the purchasing Bank to (b) the total amount of all such required repayments to the purchasing Bank) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the purchasing Bank in respect of the total amount so recovered. The
Borrower agrees that any Bank so purchasing a participation from another Bank pursuant to this Section 2.16 may, to the fullest extent permitted by Legal Requirement, unless and until rescinded as provided above, exercise all its rights of payment
(including the right of set-off) with respect to such participation on 

  

 -44- 

 
as fully as if such Bank were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

(subject to the other requirements for a Hotel Property qualifying as an Eligible Property) or deleted as an Eligible Property. Such notice shall be accompanied by (a) a Borrowing Base Certificate setting forth the components of the Borrowing Base
as of the addition or deletion of the designated Hotel Property as an Eligible Property, (b) a Property Adjustment Report with respect to such addition or deletion and (x) with respect to an addition, the certificate required under Section
3.03(k)(i) and (y) with respect to a deletion, Borrower’s certification in such detail as reasonably required by the Administrative Agent that such deletion shall not (A) cause the Eligible Properties in the aggregate to violate the Borrowing
Base Requirements, (B) cause a Default, or (C) cause or result in the Borrower or the Parent failing to comply with any of the financial covenants contained herein. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Required Lenders in their reasonable discretion
may (a) at the Borrower’s request, add a Hotel Property as an Eligible Property despite the failure of such Hotel Property to otherwise qualify as an Eligible Property and (b) upon 30 days prior written notice to the Borrower, designate that a
Hotel Property is no longer an Eligible Property upon their determination that (x) such Hotel Property added as an Eligible Property pursuant to the foregoing clause (a) ceases to be an Eligible Property or (y) such Hotel Property does not satisfy
the requirements for qualifying as an Eligible Property; provided that if during such 30 day period the Borrower can satisfy those requirements deemed unsatisfied by the Required Lenders, such Hotel Property shall remain an Eligible Property.

  
 If no Default exists at such time, then in connection with any
deletion of a Hotel Property from qualifying as an Eligible Property, any Borrower’s Subsidiary which owned or leased such Hotel Property, but not any other Eligible Property, shall be released from such Subsidiaries obligations under the
Guaranty.

Borrower. If no successor Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s or Issuing Bank’s giving of notice of
resignation or the Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, then the retiring Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank may, on behalf of the Banks and the Borrower, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or
Issuing Bank acceptable to the Borrower, which shall be a commercial bank meeting the financial requirements of an Eligible Assignee and, in the case of an Issuing Bank, a Bank. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent or
Issuing Bank by a successor Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank, such successor Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative
Agent or Issuing Bank, and the retiring Administrative Agent or Issuing Bank shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement and the other Credit Documents, except that the retiring Issuing Bank shall remain an Issuing Bank

if any, of the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, each Issuing Bank, and each Bank (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank, and each Bank) in connection with the
enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents. 
  
 Section 10.05. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent,
and when the Administrative Agent shall have, as to each Bank, either received a counterpart hereof executed by such Bank or been notified by such Bank that such Bank has executed it and thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, and each Bank and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights or delegate its duties under this Agreement or any interest
in this Agreement without the prior written consent of each Bank. 
  
 Section 10.06. Bank Assignments and Participations. 
  
 (a) Assignments. Any Bank may assign to one or more banks or other entities all or any portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its
Commitment, the Advances owing to it, the Notes held by it, and the participation interest in the Letter of Credit Obligations held by it); provided, however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all
of such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and shall involve a ratable assignment of such Bank’s Commitment, such Bank’s Advances and such Bank’s participation in Letter of Credit Exposure, 

  

 -83- 

 
(ii) the amount of the resulting Commitment and Advances of the assigning Bank (unless it is assigning all its Commitment) and the assignee Bank pursuant to
each such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $10,000,000 and shall be an integral multiple of $1,000,000, (iii) each such assignment shall be to an
Eligible Assignee, (iv) the parties to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with the Notes subject to such assignment,
(v) the Administrative Agent shall consent to such assignment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (vi) each Eligible Assignee (other than an Eligible Assignee which is an Affiliate of the assigning Bank) shall pay to
the Administrative Agent a $3,500 administrative fee. Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, which effective date shall be at least three Business Days
after the execution thereof, (A) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto for all purposes and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and
obligations of a Bank hereunder and (B) such Bank thereunder shall, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations
under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all or the remaining portion of such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party hereto). Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, any Bank may assign, as collateral or otherwise, any of its rights under the Credit Documents to any Federal Reserve Bank, and this Section shall not apply to any such assignment. 
  
 (b) Term of Assignments. By executing and delivering
an Assignment and Acceptance, the Bank thereunder and the assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such Bank makes no
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency of
value of this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (ii) such Bank makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Borrower or the Guarantors or the
performance or observance by the Borrower or the Guarantors of any of their obligations under this Agreement or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it has received a copy of this Agreement,
together with copies of the financial statements and filings under the Exchange Act referred to in Sections 4.06 and 5.05, if applicable, and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such Bank or any other Bank and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at
the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) such assignee appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under
this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; and (vi) such assignee 

  

 -84- 

 
agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as
a Bank. 
  
 (c) The Register. The
Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 10.02 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Banks and the Commitments
of, and principal amount of the Advances owing to, each Bank from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the
Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Bank at
any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. 
  
 (d) Procedures. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by a Bank and an Eligible Assignee, together with the Note subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall, if such
Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of the attached Exhibit B, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained therein in the Register, and (iii) give prompt notice thereof
to the Borrower. Within five Business Days after its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note, a new Note payable to the order of such
Eligible Assignee in amount equal to, respectively, the Commitment and the outstanding Advances assumed by it pursuant to such Assignment and Acceptance, and if the assigning Bank has retained any Commitment hereunder, a new Note payable to the
order of such Bank in an amount equal to, respectively, the Commitment and the outstanding Advances retained by it hereunder. Such new Note shall be dated the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially
the form of the attached Exhibit A. 
  
 (e)
Participations. Each Bank may sell participations to one or more banks or other entities in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitment, the
Advances owing to it, its participation interest in the Letter of Credit Obligations, and the Notes held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Bank’s obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitment to
the Borrower hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Bank shall remain the holder of any such Note for all purposes of this
Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, and the Issuing Banks and the other Banks shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (v) such
Bank shall not require the participant’s consent to any matter under this Agreement, except for change in the principal amount of any Note in which the participant has an interest, reductions in fees or interest, or extending the Maturity Date
except as permitted in this Agreement. The Borrower hereby agrees that participants shall have the same rights under Sections 2.08, 2.09, and 2.11(c) hereof as the Bank to the extent of their respective participations, provided that no
participant shall be able to collect in excess of amounts payable to the Bank selling to such participant under such Sections in respect of the interest sold to such participant or to collect any such amounts from the Borrower. 
  

 -85- 

 (f) Confidentiality. Each Bank may furnish any information concerning the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries in the possession of such Bank from time to time to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants); provided that, prior to any such disclosure, the assignee or participant or proposed
assignee or participant shall agree in writing to preserve the confidentiality of any confidential information relating to the Borrower and its Subsidiaries received by it from or on behalf of such Bank in accordance with Section 10.20. Such Bank
shall promptly deliver a signed copy of any such confidentiality agreement to the Administrative Agent. 
  
 Section 10.07. Indemnification. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent, the Banks (in any capacity or title and including any lender
which was a Bank hereunder prior to any full assignment of its Commitment), the Issuing Banks, and each affiliate thereof and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from, and discharge, release, and hold each of them harmless
against, any and all losses, liabilities, claims or damages to which any of them may become subject, insofar as such losses, liabilities, claims or damages arise out of or result from (i) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower or any Affiliate
of the Borrower of the proceeds of any Advance, (ii) any breach by the Borrower or any Guarantor of any provision of this Agreement or any other Credit Document, (iii) any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (including any threatened
investigation or proceeding) relating to the foregoing, or (iv) any Environmental Claim or requirement of Environmental Laws concerning or relating to the present or previously-owned or operated properties, or the operations or business, of the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, and the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, and each Bank, and each affiliate thereof and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents, upon demand for any
reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including legal fees) incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding; and expressly including any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages, or expense incurred by reason of the
Person being indemnified’s own negligence, but excluding any such losses, liabilities, claims, damages or expenses incurred by reason of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Person to be indemnified. 
  
 Section 10.08. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.

  
 Section 10.09. Survival of Representations,
Indemnifications, etc. All representations, warranties contained in this Agreement or made in writing by or on behalf of the Borrower in connection herewith shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Credit Documents, the
making of the Advances and any investigation made by or on behalf of the Banks, none of which investigations shall diminish any Bank’s right to rely on such representations and warranties. All obligations of the Borrower provided for in
Sections 2.08, 2.09, 2.11(c), 9.05 and 10.07 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and repayment in full of the Obligations. 
  
 Section 10.10. Severability. In case one or more provisions of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect under any applicable 

  

 -86- 

 
law, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein or therein shall not be affected or impaired thereby. 

 
 Section 10.11. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Notes and the
other Credit Documents constitute the entire understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede any prior agreements, written or oral, with respect thereto. 
  
 Section 10.12. Usury Not Intended. It is the intent of the Borrower
and each Bank in the execution and performance of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents to contract in strict compliance with applicable usury laws, including conflicts of law concepts, governing the Advances of each Bank including such
applicable laws of the State of New York and the United States of America from time to time in effect. In furtherance thereof, the Banks and the Borrower stipulate and agree that none of the terms and provisions contained in this Agreement or the
other Credit Documents shall ever be construed to create a contract to pay, as consideration for the use, forbearance or detention of money, interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum Rate and that for purposes hereof “interest” shall
include the aggregate of all charges which constitute interest under such laws that are contracted for, charged or received under this Agreement; and in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, under any circumstances the aggregate amounts
taken, reserved, charged, received or paid on the Advances, include amounts which by applicable law are deemed interest which would exceed the Maximum Rate, then such excess shall be deemed to be a mistake and each Bank receiving same shall credit
the same on the principal of its Notes (or if such Notes shall have been paid in full, refund said excess to the Borrower). In the event that the maturity of the Notes is accelerated by reason of any election of the holder thereof resulting from any
Event of Default under this Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest may never include more than the Maximum Rate and excess interest, if any, provided for in
this Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited on the applicable Notes (or, if the applicable Notes shall have been paid in full, refunded to
the Borrower). In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingencies exceeds the Maximum Rate, the Borrower and the Banks shall to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law amortize, prorate, allocate
and spread in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the Notes all amounts considered to be interest under applicable law at any time contracted for, charged, received or reserved in connection with the Obligations. The provisions
of this Section shall control over all other provisions of this Agreement or the other Credit Documents which may be in apparent conflict herewith. 
  
 Section 10.13. GOVERNING LAW. ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN THE
BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE ISSUING BANK, ANY BANK, OR ANY
INDEMNITEE ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO
THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH, THIS AGREEMENT OR
ANY OF THE OTHER CREDIT DOCUMENTS, AND WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT,
TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL BE RESOLVED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE
INTERNAL LAWS (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, SECTION 5-1401 OF THE GENERAL OBLIGATIONS
LAW, BUT OTHERWISE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PROVISIONS)
OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS OF ANY WRITS, PROCESS
OR SUMMONSES IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING THEREOF

OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES
AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION

PARTY HERETO MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS
AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE
PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

 Section 10.16. Banks Not in Control. None of the covenants or other provisions contained in the Credit Documents shall or shall be deemed to, give the Banks the rights or power to exercise control over the

interest in, such Person.
