Exhibit 10.1

 

EMPLOYMENT
AGREEMENT

KAREN M. SINGER

 

This Employment Agreement (this “Agreement”), is made
and entered into as of the 28th day of November, 2005, by and between Corporate
Office Properties L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Employer”), and
Corporate Office Properties Trust, a Maryland business trust (“COPT”), and
Karen M. Singer (the “Executive”).

 

RECITALS

 

A.            The
Employer (as referenced in the first paragraph) wishes to assure itself of the
continued services of the Executive for the period provided in this Agreement
and the Executive is willing to continue in the employ of the Employer on a
full-time basis for said period, and upon the other terms and conditions
hereinafter provided.

 

B.            The
Employer recognizes that circumstances may arise in which a change of control
of the Employer or COPT, through acquisition or otherwise, may occur, thereby
causing uncertainty of employment without regard to the competence or past
contributions of the Executive, and that such uncertainty may result in the
loss of valuable services of the Executive. Accordingly, the Employer and the
Executive wish to provide reasonable security to the Executive against changes
in the employment relationship in the event of any such change of control.

 

C.            COPT
has agreed to become a party to this Agreement for the purpose of assuming the
liabilities, obligations and duties of the Employer to the extent provided
herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and
of the covenants and agreements hereinafter contained, it is covenanted and
agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows:

hereof, in accordance with the established compensation policies of the Compensation
Committee.

 

(b)           PERFORMANCE
BONUS.  The Executive shall be entitled

4.             TERM
AND TERMINATION.

 

(a)           BASIC
TERM.  The Executive’s employment
hereunder shall be for a five (5) year basic term (the “Basic Term”),
commencing as of the Effective Date. If either the Executive or the Employer
notifies the Compensation Committee in writing at least six (6) months but not
more than one (1) year prior to the expiration of the Basic Term that the
Agreement is set to terminate at the end of the Basic Term, the Agreement shall
automatically be extended after the Basic Term for a continuous, self-renewing
one (1) year term without further action of the parties unless either party
shall have served written notice on the other at least six (6) months prior to
the expiration of the Basic Term, that this Agreement shall terminate at the
end of the Basic Term.  If this Agreement
is extended beyond the Basic Term, either party may at any time thereafter give
written notice to the other party that the term of this Agreement will expire on
the date that is one (1) year following the date of such written notice.  Notwithstanding the foregoing and other
applicable terms of this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated by either
party, with or without cause, effective as of the first (1st) business day
after written notice to that effect is delivered to the other party.

 

(b)           PREMATURE
TERMINATION.

 

(i)            In
the event of the termination of the employment of the Executive under this
Agreement by the Employer for any reason other than expiration of the term
hereof or any renewal term, termination upon disability in accordance with the
provisions of paragraph (g) of this Section 4, or a “for-cause” termination in
accordance with the provisions of paragraph (e) of this Section 4, then
notwithstanding any actual or allegedly available alternative employment or
other mitigation of damages by or available to the Executive, the Executive
shall be entitled to a “Termination Payment” equal to the sum of:  (w) one (1) times the rate of annualized Base
Salary then payable to the Executive, plus (x) one (1) times the average of the
three (3) most recent annual Performance Bonuses that the Executive received.
In the event of a termination governed by this paragraph (b) of Section 4, the
Employer shall also: (y) allow a period of eighteen (18) months following the
termination of employment for the Executive (but in no event beyond the
expiration of any option term or period specified in the option agreement with
the Executive) to exercise any options granted under any stock option or share
incentive plan established by Employer or COPT (“Stock Plan”); and (z) continue
for the Executive (provided that such items are not available to her by virtue
of other employment secured after termination) the perquisites, plans and
benefits provided under the Employer’s Perquisite Policy and Benefit Plans as
of and after the date of termination, [all items in (z) being collectively
referred to as “Post-Termination Perquisites and Benefits”], for the lesser of
the number of full months the Executive has theretofore been employed by the
Employer or twelve (12) months following such termination. The payments and
benefits provided under (w), (x), (y) and (z) above by the Employer shall not
be offset against or diminish any other compensation or benefits accrued as of
the date of termination.

 

3

 

(ii)           Notwithstanding the vesting schedule
otherwise applicable, in the event of a termination governed by this paragraph
(b) of Section 4, the Executive shall be fully vested in all of the Executive’s
options and restricted shares under any Stock Plan or similar program.

 

(iii)          Any cash payments to the Executive
under this paragraph (b) of Section 4 will be made monthly over twelve (12)
months, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties to minimize the
Executive’s tax burden in any year.

 

(c)           CONSTRUCTIVE
TERMINATION. If at any time during the term of this Agreement, except in
connection with a “for-cause” termination pursuant to paragraph (d) of this
Section 4, the Executive is Constructively Discharged (as hereinafter defined),
then the Executive shall have the right, by written notice to the Employer
given within one hundred and twenty (120) days of such Constructive Discharge,
to terminate her services hereunder, effective as of thirty (30) days after
such notice, and the Executive shall have no rights or obligations under this
Agreement other than as provided in Sections 5 and 6 hereof.  The Executive shall in such event be entitled
to a Termination Payment of Base Salary and Performance Bonus compensation as
well as all of the Post-Termination Perquisites and Benefits, as if such
termination of her employment had been effectuated pursuant to paragraph (b) of
this Section 4.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, the Executive shall be
deemed to have been “Constructively Discharged” upon the occurrence of any one
of the following events:

 

(i)            The Executive is not re-elected to,
or is removed from, the position with the Employer as set forth in Section 2
hereof, other than as a result of the Executive’s election or appointment to
positions of equal or superior scope and responsibility; or

 

(ii)           The Executive shall fail to be vested
by the Employer with the powers, authority and support services normally
attendant to any of said offices; or

 

(iii)          The Employer shall notify the
Executive that the employment of the Executive will be terminated or materially
modified in the future or that the Executive will be Constructively Discharged
in the future; or

 

(iv)          The Employer changes the primary employment
location of the Executive to a place that is more than fifty (50) miles from
the primary employment location, 8815 Centre Park Drive, Columbia, Maryland
21045, as of the Effective Date of this Agreement; or

 

(v)           The Employer otherwise commits a material
breach of its obligations under this Agreement.

 

(d)           TERMINATION
FOR CAUSE. The employment of the Executive and this Agreement may be terminated
“for-cause” as hereinafter defined. Termination “for- cause”

 

4

 

shall mean the termination of employment on the basis or as a result of
(i) a violation by the Executive of any applicable law or regulation respecting
the business of the Employer; (ii) the Executive’s conviction of a felony or
any crime involving moral turpitude; (iii) any act of dishonesty or fraud, or
the Executive’s commission of an act which in the opinion of the Board
disqualifies the Executive from serving as an officer or director of the
Employer; (iv) the willful or negligent failure of the Executive to perform her
duties hereunder, which failure continues for a period of thirty (30) days
after written notice thereof is given to the Executive; or (v) a violation of
any provision of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.  In the event the Employer terminates the
Executive’s employment “for cause” under this paragraph (d) of Section 4, the
Executive shall be entitled only to the Base Salary through the date of the
termination of the Executive’s employment and any other additional benefit in
accordance with applicable plans, programs or agreements with the Employer; and
all such amounts shall be payable no later than two and one-half months
following the close of the calendar year in which such termination occurs.

 

(e)           TERMINATION
UPON DEATH. In the event payments are due and owing under this Agreement at the
death of the Executive, such payments shall be made to such beneficiary,
designee or fiduciary as Executive may have designated in writing, or failing
such designation, to the executor or administrator of her estate, in full
settlement and satisfaction of all claims and demands on behalf of the
Executive. Any cash payments shall be made no later than two and one-half
months following the close of the calendar year in which the Executive’s death
occurs.  Such payments shall be in
addition to any other death benefits of the Employer made available for the
benefit of the Executive, and in full settlement and satisfaction of all
payments provided for in this Agreement. 
Notwithstanding the vesting schedule otherwise applicable in the event
of a termination governed by this subparagraph (e) of Section 4, all of options
and restricted shares granted to the Executive under any Stock Plan or similar
program shall be fully vested.

 

(f)            TERMINATION
UPON DISABILITY. The Employer may terminate the Executive’s employment after
the Executive is determined to be disabled under the long-term disability
program of the Employer then covering the Executive or by a physician engaged
by the Employer and reasonably approved by the Executive. In the event of a
dispute regarding the Executive’s “disability,” such dispute shall be resolved
through arbitration as provided in paragraph (d) of Section 11 hereof, except
that the arbitrator appointed by the American Arbitration Association shall be
a duly licensed medical doctor. The Executive shall be entitled to the
compensation and benefits provided for under this Agreement during any period
of incapacitation occurring during the term of this Agreement, and occurring prior
to the establishment of the Executive’s “disability” during which the Executive
is unable to work due to a physical or mental infirmity. Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, until the date specified
in a notice of termination relating to the Executive’s disability, the
Executive shall be entitled to return to her positions with the Employer as set
forth in this Agreement, in which event no disability of the Executive will be
deemed to have occurred.  Notwithstanding
the vesting schedule otherwise applicable, in the event of a termination
governed by this subparagraph (g) of Section 4, the Executive shall be fully
vested in all of the Executive’s options and restricted shares under any Stock
Plan or similar program.

(g)           TERMINATION
UPON CHANGE OF CONTROL.

 

(i)            In the event of a Change in Control
(as defined below) and the termination of the Executive’s employment by
Executive or by the Employer under either 1 or 2 below, the Executive shall be
entitled to a Termination Payment equal to the sum of: (w) one (1) times the
rate of annualized Base Salary then payable to the Executive, plus (x) one (1)
times the average of the three (3) most recent annual Performance Bonuses that
the Executive received (or, if less, the average of the annual performance
Bonuses that the Executive has theretofore received..  The Employer shall also continue for the
Executive the Post-Termination Perquisites and Benefits for the same period and
to the same extent as provided in paragraph (b) of this Section 4; provided,
however, that notwithstanding the vesting schedule otherwise applicable,
immediately following a Change in Control (whether or not the Executive’s
employment is terminated), the Executive shall be fully vested in all of
Executive’s options and restricted shares outstanding under any Stock Plan or
similar program and shall be allowed a period of eighteen (18) months following
the termination of employment of the Executive for the Executive’s exercise of
such options. The following shall constitute termination under this paragraph:

 

1 .            The Executive terminates her
employment under this Agreement pursuant to a written notice to that effect
delivered to the Board within twelve (12) months after the occurrence of the
Change in Control.

 

2.             Executive’s employment is terminated, including
Constructively Discharged, by the Employer or its successor either in
contemplation of or after Change in Control, other than on a for-cause basis.

 

(ii)           For
purposes of this paragraph, the term “Change in Control” shall mean the
following occurring after the date of this Agreement:

 

1.             The consummation of the acquisition by any person, (as
such term is defined in Section 13(d) or 14(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) of beneficial ownership (within the
meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the 1934 Act) of fifty percent (50%) or
more of the combined voting power embodied in the then outstanding voting
securities of COPT or the Employer; or

 

2.             Approval by the stockholders of COPT or the Employer of:
(1) a merger or consolidation of COPT or the Employer, if the stockholders of
COPT or the Employer immediately before such merger or consolidation do not, as
a result of such merger or consolidation, own, directly or indirectly, more
than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the then outstanding
voting securities of the entity resulting from such merger or consolidation in
substantially the same proportion as was represented by their ownership of the
combined voting power of the voting securities of COPT or the Employer

 

6

 

outstanding immediately before such merger or
consolidation; or (2) a complete or substantial liquidation or dissolution, or
an agreement for the sale or other disposition, of all or substantially all of
the assets of COPT or the Employer.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control
shall not be deemed to occur solely because fifty percent (50%) or more of the
combined voting then outstanding securities is acquired by: (1) a trustee or
other fiduciary holding securities under one or more employee benefit plans
maintained for employees of the entity; or (2) any corporation or other entity
which, immediately prior to such acquisition, is owned directly or indirectly
by the stockholders of COPT or the Employer in the same proportion as their
ownership of stock in COPT or the Employer immediately prior to such
acquisition.

 

(iii)          Any
cash payments to the Executive under this paragraph (g) of Section 4 shall be
paid to the Executive no later than two and one-half months following the close
of the calendar year in which the Executive has a vested right to the payment.

 

(h)           VOLUNTARY
TERMINATION.  In the event of a
termination of employment by the Executive on her own initiative, other than a
termination due to death, disability or a Constructive Discharge, the Executive
shall have the same entitlements as provided in paragraph (d) of this Section 4
for a termination “for-cause.”

 

5.             CONFIDENTIALITY
AND LOYALTY. The Executive acknowledges that heretofore or hereafter during the
course of her employment she has produced and received, and may hereafter
produce, receive and otherwise have access to various materials, records, data,
trade secrets and information not generally available to the public
(collectively, “Confidential Information”) regarding the Employer and its
subsidiaries and affiliates. Accordingly, during and subsequent to termination
of this Agreement, the Executive shall hold in confidence and not directly or
indirectly disclose, use, copy or make lists of any such Confidential
Information, except to the extent that such information is or thereafter
becomes lawfully available from public sources, or such disclosure is
authorized in writing by the Employer, required by law or by any competent
administrative agency or judicial authority, or otherwise as reasonably
necessary or appropriate in connection with the performance by the Executive of
her duties hereunder. All records, files, documents, computer diskettes,
computer programs and other computer-generated material, as well as all other
materials or copies thereof relating to the Employer’s business, which the
Executive shall prepare or use, shall be and remain the sole property of the
Employer, shall not be removed from the Employer’s premises without its written
consent, and shall be promptly returned to the Employer upon termination of the
Executive’s employment hereunder. The Executive agrees to abide by the Employer’s
reasonable policies, as in effect from time to time, respecting confidentiality
and the avoidance of interests conflicting with those of the Employer.

 

6.             NON-COMPETITION COVENANT.

 

(a)           RESTRICTIVE COVENANT. The
Employer and the Executive have jointly reviewed the tenant lists, property
submittals, logs, broker lists, and operations of the Employer, and have agreed
that as an essential ingredient of and in consideration of this

 

7

 

Agreement and the payment of the amounts described in Sections 3 and 4
hereof, the Executive hereby agrees that, except with the express prior written
consent of the Employer, for a period of twelve (12) months after the
termination of the Executive’s employment with the Employer for any reason
(including termination as a result of the expiration of the term so this
Agreement), (the “Restrictive Period”), she will not directly or indirectly
compete with the business of the Employer, including, but not by way of
limitation, by directly or indirectly owning, managing, operating, controlling,
financing, or by directly or indirectly serving as an employee, officer or
director of or consultant to, or by soliciting or inducing, or attempting to
solicit or induce, any employee or agent of Employer to terminate employment
with Employer and become employed by any person, firm, partnership,
corporation, trust or other entity which owns or operates a business similar to
that of the Employer (the “Restrictive Covenant”). For purposes of this
subparagraph (a), a business shall be considered “similar” to that of the
Employer if it is engaged in the acquisition, development, ownership,
operation, management or leasing of suburban office property in any geographic
market or submarket in which the Employer owns more than 1,000,000 s.f. of
properties either as of the date hereof or as of the date of termination of the
Executive’s employment. If the Executive violates the Restrictive Covenant and
the Employer brings legal action for injunctive or other relief, the Employer
shall not, as a result of the time involved in obtaining such relief, be
deprived of the benefit of the full period of the Restrictive Covenant. Accordingly, the
Restrictive Covenant shall be deemed to have the duration specified in this
paragraph (a) computed from the date the relief is granted but reduced by the
time between the period when the Restrictive Period began to run and the date
of the first violation of the Restrictive Covenant by the Executive. In the
event that a successor of the Employer assumes and agrees to perform this
Agreement or otherwise acquires the Employer, this Restrictive Covenant shall
continue to apply only to the primary service area of the Employer as it
existed immediately before such assumption or acquisition and shall not apply
to any of the successor’s other offices or markets. The foregoing Restrictive
Covenant shall not prohibit the Executive from owning, directly or indirectly,
capital stock or similar securities which are listed on a securities exchange
or quoted on the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotation
System which do not represent more than five percent (5%) of the outstanding
capital stock of any corporation.

 

(b)           REMEDIES
FOR BREACH OF RESTRICTIVE COVENANT. The Executive acknowledges that the
restrictions contained in Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement are reasonable and
necessary for the protection of the legitimate proprietary business interests
of the Employer; that any violation of these restrictions would cause
substantial injury to the Employer and such interests; that the Employer would
not have entered into this Agreement with the Executive without receiving the
additional consideration offered by the Executive in binding herself to these
restrictions; and that such restrictions were a material inducement to the
Employer to enter into this Agreement. In the event of any violation or
threatened violation of these restrictions, the Employer shall be relieved of
any further obligations under this Agreement, shall be entitled to any rights,
remedies or damages available at law, in equity or otherwise under this
Agreement, and shall be entitled to preliminary and temporary injunctive relief
granted by a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent or restrain any such
violation by the Executive and any and all persons directly or indirectly
acting for or with her, as the case may be, while awaiting the decision of the
arbitrator selected in accordance with paragraph (d) of Section 11 of this Agreement,
which decision, if rendered adverse to the Executive, may include permanent
injunctive relief to be granted by the court.

 

8

 

7.             INTERCORPORATE
TRANSFERS. If the Executive shall be voluntarily transferred to an affiliate of
the Employer, such transfer shall not be deemed to terminate or modify this
Agreement, and the employing corporation to which the Executive shall have been
transferred shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, be construed as standing
in the same place and stead as the Employer as of the date of such transfer.
For purposes hereof, an affiliate of the Employer shall mean any corporation or
other entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common
control with the Employer. The Employer shall be secondarily liable to the
Executive for the obligations hereunder in the event the affiliate of the
Employer cannot or refuses to honor such obligations. For all relevant purposes
hereof, the tenure of the Executive shall be deemed to include the aggregate
term of her employment by the Employer or its affiliate.

 

8.             INTEREST
IN ASSETS. Neither the Executive nor her estate shall acquire hereunder any
rights in funds or assets of the Employer, otherwise than by and through the
actual payment of amounts payable hereunder; nor shall the Executive or her
estate have any power to transfer, assign (except into a trust for purposes of
estate planning), anticipate, hypothecate or otherwise encumber in advance any
of said payments; nor shall any of such payments be subject to seizure for the
payment of any debt, judgment, alimony, separate maintenance or be transferable
by operation of law in the event of bankruptcy, insolvency or otherwise of the
Executive.

 

9.             INDEMNIFICATION.

 

(a)           The
Employer shall provide the Executive (including her heirs, personal
representatives, executors and administrators), during the term of this
Agreement and thereafter throughout all applicable limitations periods, with
coverage under the Employer’s then-current directors’ and officers’ liability
insurance policy, at the Employer’s expense.

 

(b)           In
addition to the insurance coverage provided for in paragraph (a) of this
Section 9, the Employer shall defend, hold harmless and indemnify the Executive
(and her heirs, personal representatives, executors and administrators) to the
fullest extent permitted under applicable law, and subject to the requirements,
limitations and specifications set forth in the Bylaws and other organizational
documents of the Employer, against all expenses and liabilities reasonably
incurred by her in connection with or arising out of any action, suit or
proceeding in which she may be involved by reason of her having been an officer
of the Employer (whether or not she continues to be an officer at the time of
incurring such expenses or liabilities), such expenses and liabilities to
include, but not be limited to, judgments, court costs and attorneys’ fees and
the cost of reasonable settlements.

 

(c)           In
the event the Executive becomes a party, or is threatened to be made a party,
to any action, suit or proceeding for which the Employer has agreed to provide
insurance coverage or indemnification under this Section 9, the Employer shall,
to the full extent permitted under applicable law, advance all expenses
(including the reasonable attorneys’ fees of the attorneys selected by Employer
and approved by Executive for the representation of the Executive), judgments,
fines and amounts paid in settlement (collectively “Expenses”) incurred by the Executive
in connection with the investigation, defense, settlement, or appeal of any

 

9

 

threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, subject to
receipt by the Employer of a written undertaking from the Executive
covenanting: (i) to reimburse the Employer for all Expenses actually paid by
the Employer to or on behalf of the Executive in the event it shall be
ultimately determined that the Executive is not entitled to indemnification by
the Employer for such Expenses; and (ii) to assign to the Employer all rights
of the Executive to insurance proceeds, under any policy of directors’ and
officers’ liability insurance or otherwise, to the extent of the amount of
Expenses actually paid by the Employer to or on behalf of the Executive.

 

10.           ASSUMPTION
BY COPT.  By its execution of this
Agreement, and in consideration of the services provided by the Executive to
the Employer hereunder, COPT agrees to be secondarily liable to the Executive,
and shall assume the liabilities, obligations and duties of the Employer as
contained in this Agreement in the event the Employer cannot or refuses to
honor such obligations.

 

11.           GENERAL
PROVISIONS.

 

(a)           SUCCESSORS;
ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
the Executive, the Employer and her and its respective personal
representatives, successors and assigns, and any successor or assign of the
Employer shall be deemed the “Employer” hereunder. The Employer shall require
any successor to all or substantially all of the business and/or assets of the
Employer, whether directly or indirectly, by purchase, merger, consolidation,
acquisition of stock, or otherwise, by an agreement in form and substance
satisfactory to the Executive, expressly to assume and agree to perform this
Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as the Employer would be
required to perform if no such succession had taken place.  No rights or obligations of the Executive
under this Agreement may be assigned or transferred by the Executive other than
her rights to compensation and benefits, which may be transferred only by will
or by operation of law.

 

(b)           ENTIRE
AGREEMENT; MODIFICATIONS. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties respecting the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all
prior negotiations, undertakings, agreements and arrangements with respect
thereto, whether written or oral. Except as otherwise explicitly provided
herein, this Agreement may not be amended or modified except by written
agreement signed by the Executive and the Employer.

 

(c)           ENFORCEMENT
AND GOVERNING LAW. The provisions of this Agreement shall be regarded as
divisible and separate; if any of said provisions should be declared invalid or
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the validity and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected thereby. This
Agreement shall be construed and the legal relations of the parties hereto
shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the State of Maryland as it
constitutes the situs of the corporation and the employment hereunder, without
reference to the law regarding conflicts of law.

 

(d)           ARBITRATION.
Except as provided in paragraph (b) of Section 6, any dispute or controversy arising
under or in connection with this Agreement or the Executive’s employment by the
Employer shall be settled exclusively by arbitration, conducted by a single
arbitrator sitting in Columbia, MD in accordance with the rules of the American
Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) then in effect. The arbitrator shall be
selected by the parties from a list

 

10

 

of eleven (11) arbitrators provided by the AAA, provided that no
arbitrator shall be related to or affiliated with either of the parties. No
later than ten (10) days after the list of proposed arbitrators is received by
the parties, the parties, or their respective representatives, shall meet at a
mutually convenient location in Columbia, Maryland, or telephonically. At that
meeting, the party who sought arbitration shall eliminate one (1) proposed
arbitrator and then the other party shall eliminate one (1) proposed
arbitrator. The parties shall continue to alternatively eliminate names from
the list of proposed arbitrators in this manner until each party has eliminated
five (5) proposed arbitrators. The remaining arbitrator shall arbitrate the
dispute. Each party shall submit, in writing, the specific requested action or
decision it wishes to take, or make, with respect to the matter in dispute, and
the arbitrator shall be obligated to choose one (1) party’s specific requested
action or decision, without being permitted to effectuate any compromise or
“new” position; provided, however, that the arbitrator is authorized to award
amounts not in dispute during the pendency of any dispute or controversy
arising under or in connection with this Agreement. The Employer shall bear the
cost of all counsel, experts or other representatives that are retained by both
parties, together with all costs of the arbitration proceeding, including,
without limitation, the fees, costs and expenses imposed or incurred by the
arbitrator; provided, however, that if the arbitrator determines that the claim
or defenses of the Executive were without reasonable basis, each party shall
bear her or its own cost. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s award in
any court having jurisdiction; including, if applicable, entry of a permanent
injunction under paragraph (b) of Section 6.

 

(e)           PRESS
RELEASES AND PUBLIC DISCLOSURE. Any press release or other public communication
by either the Executive or the Employer with any other person concerning the
terms, conditions or circumstances of Executive’s employment, or the
termination of such employment, shall be subject to prior written approval of
both the Executive and the Employer, subject to the proviso that the Employer
shall be entitled to make requisite and appropriate public disclosure of the
terms of this Agreement, without the Executive’s consent or approval, as
required under applicable statutes, and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission and the Stock Exchange on which the shares
of Employer or COPT may from time to time be listed.

 

(f)            WAIVER.
No waiver by either party at any time of any breach by the other party of, or
compliance with, any condition or provision of this Agreement to be performed
by the other party, shall be deemed a waiver of any similar or dissimilar
provisions or conditions at the same time or any prior or subsequent time.

 

(g)           NOTICES.
Notices given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be
deemed given when received, and, if mailed, shall be mailed by United States
registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid.
Notices to the Employer shall be addressed to the principal headquarters of the
Employer, Attention: Chairman. Notices to the Executive shall be sent to the
address set forth below the Executive’s signature on this Agreement, or to such
other address as the party to be notified shall have given to the other.

THIS
TERM LOAN AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) dated as of November 28, 2005 by
and among HERITAGE PROPERTY INVESTMENT TRUST, INC., a corporation formed under
the laws of the State of Maryland (the “Borrower”), WACHOVIA CAPITAL MARKETS,
LLC, as Arranger (the “Arranger”), WACHOVIA INVESTMENT HOLDINGS, LLC, as Agent,
and each of the financial institutions initially a signatory hereto together
with their assignees pursuant to Section 12.5.(d).

 

WHEREAS,
the Lenders desire to make terms loans to the Borrower in an aggregate
principal amount of up to $100,000,000,
on the terms and conditions contained herein.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration,
the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the parties
hereto, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

ARTICLE I.
DEFINITIONS

 

Section 1.1.  Definitions.

 

In
addition to terms defined elsewhere herein, the following terms shall have the
following meanings for the purposes of this Agreement:

 

“Accession Agreement” means an Accession Agreement
substantially in the form of Annex I to the Guaranty.

 

“Additional Costs” has the meaning given that term in Section 4.1.

 

“Adjusted LIBOR” means, with respect to each Interest Period
for any LIBOR Loan, the rate obtained by dividing (a) LIBOR for such
Interest Period by (b) a percentage equal to 1 minus the stated maximum
rate (stated as a decimal) of all reserves, if any, required to be maintained
with respect to Eurocurrency funding (currently referred to as “Eurocurrency
liabilities”) as specified in Regulation D of the Board of Governors of
the Federal Reserve System (or against any other category of liabilities which
includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is
determined or any applicable category of extensions of credit or other assets
which includes loans by an office of any Lender outside of the United States of
America to residents of the United States of America). Any change in such
maximum rate shall result in a change in Adjusted LIBOR on the date on which
such change in such maximum rate becomes effective.

 

“Adjusted Combined Total Asset Value” means Combined Total Asset Value determined exclusive of assets
that are owned by Excluded Subsidiaries or Unconsolidated Affiliates.

 

“Affiliate” means any Person (other than the Agent or any
Lender): (a) directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under
common control with, the Borrower; (b) directly or indirectly owning or
holding ten percent (10.0%) or more of any Equity Interest in the Borrower; or (c) ten
percent (10.0%) or more of whose voting stock or other Equity Interest is
directly or indirectly owned or held by the Borrower.  For purposes of this definition, “control”
(including with correlative meanings, the terms “controlling”, “controlled by”
and “under common control

 

 

with”) means the possession directly or indirectly of the power to
direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person,
whether through the ownership of voting securities or by contract or
otherwise.  The Affiliates of a Person
shall include any officer or director of such Person.  In no event shall the Agent or any Lender be
deemed to be an Affiliate of the Borrower.

 

“Agent” means Wachovia Investment Holdings, LLC, as
contractual representative for the Lenders under the terms of this Agreement,
and any of its successors.

 

“Agreement Date” means the date as of which this Agreement is
dated.

 

“Applicable Law” means all applicable provisions of
constitutions, statutes, laws, rules, regulations and orders of all
governmental bodies and all orders and decrees of all courts, tribunals and
arbitrators.

 

“Applicable Margin” means the percentage per annum
determined, at any time, based on the range into which the Borrower’s Credit
Rating then falls, in accordance with the levels in  the table set forth below (each a “Level”).  Any change in the Borrower’s Credit Rating
which would cause it to move to a different Level in such table shall effect a
change in the Applicable Margin on the Business Day on which such change
occurs.  During any period that the
Borrower has received Credit Ratings that are not equivalent, the Applicable
Margin shall be determined by the higher of such two Credit Ratings.  During any period for which the Borrower has
received a Credit Rating from only one Rating Agency, then the Applicable
Margin shall be determined based on such Credit Rating.  During any period for which the Borrower has
received a Credit Rating from neither Rating Agency, then the Applicable Margin
shall be determined based on Level 5.

ARTICLE II. CREDIT FACILITY

 

Section 2.1. 
Term Loans.

 

(a)           Generally.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof,
during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Commitment
Termination Date, each Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make Term
Loans to the Borrower in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding
up to, but not exceeding, the amount of such Lender’s Commitment.  The Borrower may request only two borrowings
of Term Loans, one in an aggregate principal amount of $50,000,000 or more to
made on the Effective Date, and the other in an aggregate principal amount
equal to the remaining Commitments to be made after the Effective Date but
before the Commitment Termination Date. 
The Borrower may not reborrow any portion of the Term Loans once repaid.

 

23

 

(b)           Requesting Term Loans.  The Borrower shall give the Agent notice
pursuant to a Notice of Borrowing of each borrowing of Term Loans.  Each Notice of Borrowing shall be delivered
to the Agent before 11:00 a.m. (i) in the case of LIBOR Loans, on the
date three Business Days prior to the proposed date of such borrowing and (ii) in
the case of Base Rate Loans, on the date one Business Day prior to the proposed
date of such borrowing.  The Agent will
transmit by telecopy the Notice of Borrowing (or the information contained in
such Notice of Borrowing) to each Lender promptly upon receipt by the
Agent.  Each Notice of Borrowing shall be
irrevocable once given and binding on the Borrower.

 

(c)           Disbursements of Term Loan
Proceeds.  No later than 1:00 p.m.
on the date specified in the Notice of Borrowing, each Lender will make
available for the account of its applicable Lending Office to the Agent at the
Principal Office, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the Term Loan
to be made by such Lender.  With respect
to Term Loans to be made after the Effective Date, unless the Agent shall have
been notified by any Lender prior to the specified date of borrowing that such
Lender does not intend to make available to the Agent the Term Loan to be made
by such Lender on such date, the Agent may assume that such Lender will make
the proceeds of such Term Loan available to the Agent on the date of the
requested borrowing as set forth in the Notice of Borrowing and the Agent may
(but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make
available to the Borrower the amount of such Term Loan to be provided by such
Lender.  Subject to satisfaction of the
applicable conditions set forth in Article V. for such borrowing, the Agent will make the proceeds of such
borrowing available to the Borrower no later than 2:00 p.m. on the date
and at the account specified by the Borrower in such Notice of Borrowing.

 

Section 2.2. 
Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans.

 

(a)                                Rates.  The Borrower promises to pay to the Agent for
the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Term
Loans made by such Lender for the period from and including the date of the making
of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the
following per annum rates:

 

(i)            during
such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect
from time to time) plus the Applicable Margin plus the Facility Fee; and

 

(ii)           during
such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at Adjusted LIBOR for such Loan for
the Interest Period therefor plus (x) to the extent such period occurs on
or before May 28, 2006, 0.90% and (y) to the extent such period
occurs after such date, the Applicable Margin plus the Facility Fee.

 

Notwithstanding the
forgoing, overdue principal and (to the extent permitted by Applicable Law)
interest on the Loans and all other overdue amounts payable hereunder or under
any of the other Loan Documents shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal
to the Post-Default Rate until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well
as before judgment).

 

(b)           Payment of Interest.  Accrued and unpaid interest on each Loan
shall be payable (i) in the case of a Base Rate Loan, monthly in arrears
on the first day of each calendar month, (ii) in the case of a LIBOR Loan,
in arrears on the last day of each Interest Period therefor, and

 

24

 

(iii) in the case of any Loan, in arrears upon the payment,
prepayment or Continuation thereof or the Conversion of such Loan to a Loan of
another Type (but only on the principal amount so paid, prepaid, Continued or
Converted).  Interest payable pursuant to
Section 2.2.(a) at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time
to time on demand.  Promptly after the
determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein,
the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders to which such interest is
payable and to the Borrower.  All
determinations by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive
and binding on the Lenders and the Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest
error.

 

Section 2.3.  Number of Interest Periods.

 

There
may be no more than 4 different Interest Periods for LIBOR Loans outstanding at
the same time.

 

Section 2.4.  Repayment of Loans.

 

The
Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all
accrued but unpaid interest on, the Term Loans on the Termination Date.

 

Section 2.5.  Prepayments.

 

Subject
to Section 4.4., the Borrower may prepay any Loan at any time without
premium or penalty.  The Borrower shall
give the Agent at least one Business Day’s prior written notice of the
prepayment of any Term Loan.

 

Section 2.6.  Continuation.

 

So
long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist, the Borrower may on any
Business Day, with respect to any LIBOR Loan, elect to maintain such LIBOR Loan
or any portion thereof as a LIBOR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period for
such LIBOR Loan.  Each new Interest
Period selected under this Section shall commence on the last day of the
immediately preceding Interest Period. 
Each selection of a new Interest Period shall be made by the Borrower
giving to the Agent a Notice of Continuation not later than 11:00 a.m. on
the third Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation.  Such notice by the Borrower of a Continuation
shall be by telephone or telecopy, confirmed immediately in writing if by
telephone, in the form of a Notice of Continuation, specifying (a) the
proposed date of such Continuation, (b) the LIBOR Loans and portions
thereof subject to such Continuation and (c) the duration of the selected
Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in such manner as is necessary
to comply with all limitations on Loans outstanding hereunder.  Each Notice of Continuation shall be
irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given.  Promptly after receipt of a Notice of
Continuation, the Agent shall notify each Lender by telecopy, or other similar
form of transmission, of the proposed Continuation.  If the Borrower shall fail to select in a
timely manner a new Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan in accordance with this
Section, or if a Default or Event of Default shall exist, such Loan will
automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, Convert
into a Base Rate Loan notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 2.7.
or the Borrower’s failure to comply with any of the terms of such Section.

 

25

 

Section 2.7.  Conversion.

 

The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon the
Borrower’s giving of a Notice of Conversion to the Agent, Convert all or a
portion of a Loan of one Type into a Loan of another Type; provided, however, a
Base Rate Loan may not be Converted to a LIBOR Loan if a Default or Event of
Default shall exist.  Any Conversion of a
LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan shall be made on, and only on, the last day of
an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan and, upon Conversion of a Base Rate Loan
into a LIBOR Loan, the Borrower shall pay accrued interest to the date of
Conversion on the principal amount so Converted.  Each such Notice of Conversion shall be given
not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day prior to the date of any
proposed Conversion into Base Rate Loans and on the third Business Day prior to
the date of any proposed Conversion into LIBOR Loans.  Promptly after receipt of a Notice of
Conversion, the Agent shall notify each Lender by telecopy, or other similar
form of transmission, of the proposed Conversion.  Subject to the restrictions specified above,
each Notice of Conversion shall be by telephone (confirmed immediately in
writing) or telecopy in the form of a Notice of Conversion specifying (a) the
requested date of such Conversion, (b) the Type of Loan to be Converted, (c) the
portion of such Type of Loan to be Converted, (d) the Type of Loan such
Loan is to be Converted into and (e) if such Conversion is into a LIBOR
Loan, the requested duration of the Interest Period of such Loan.  Each Notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable
by and binding on the Borrower once given.

 

Section 2.8.  Notes.

 

(a)           Notes.  The Term Loans made by each Lender shall, in
addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a promissory note of the
Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit D (each a “Note”), payable
to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its
Commitment.

 

(b)           Records.  The date, amount, interest rate, Type and
duration of Interest Periods (if applicable) of each Term Loan made by each
Lender to the Borrower, and each payment made on account of the principal
thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books and such entries shall
be binding on the Borrower, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the
failure of a Lender to make any such record shall not affect the obligations of
the Borrower under any of the Loan Documents.

 

(c)           Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or
Mutilated Notes. Upon receipt by the Borrower of (i) written notice
from a Lender that the Note of such Lender has been lost, stolen, destroyed or
mutilated, and (ii) (A) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, an
unsecured agreement of indemnity from such Lender in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Borrower, or (B) in the case of mutilation, upon
surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Borrower shall at its own expense
execute and deliver to such Lender a new Note dated the date of such lost,
stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

 

Section 2.9.  Extension of Termination Date.

 

The
Borrower shall have the right, exercisable one time, to extend the Termination
Date to August 28, 2008 (the “Extension Option”).  The Borrower may only exercise the Extension

 

26

 

Option by executing and delivering to the Agent at least 45 days but
not more than 90 days prior to the current Termination Date, a written request
for such extension (an “Extension Request”). 
The Agent shall forward to each Lender a copy of the Extension Request
delivered to the Agent promptly upon receipt thereof.  Subject to satisfaction of the following
conditions, the Termination Date shall be extended for two years effective upon
receipt of the Extension Request and payment of the fee referred to in the
following clause (b): (a) immediately prior to such extension and
immediately after giving effect thereto, (i) no Default or Event of
Default shall exist and (ii) the representations and warranties made or
deemed made by the Borrower and each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to
which any of them is a party, shall be true and correct in all material
respects on and as of the date of such extension with the same force and effect
as if made on and as of such date except to the extent that such
representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in
which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct
on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes in factual circumstances
not prohibited under the Loan Documents, (b) the Borrower shall have paid
the Fees payable under Section 3.6. and (c) the Borrower shall have
complied with the requirements of Section 7.12.

 

ARTICLE III.
PAYMENTS, FEES AND OTHER GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

Section 3.1.  Payments.

 

Except
to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest
and other amounts to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without
deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to the Agent at its Principal Office, not
later than 2:00 p.m. on the date on which such payment shall become due
(each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have
been made on the next succeeding Business Day). 
Subject to Section 10.4., the Borrower may, at the time of making
each payment under this Agreement or any Note, specify to the Agent the amounts
payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied.  Each payment received by the Agent for the
account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such
Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender no later than 5:00 p.m.
on the date of receipt.  If the Agent
fails to pay such amount to a Lender as provided in the previous sentence, the
Agent shall pay interest on such amount until paid at a rate per annum equal to
the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.  If the due date of any payment under this
Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not
a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day
and interest shall be payable for the period of such extension.

 

Section 3.2.  Pro Rata Treatment.

 

Except
to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from the
Lenders under Section 2.1. shall be made from the Lenders pro rata
according to the amounts of their respective Commitments; (b) each payment
or prepayment of principal of Term Loans by the Borrower shall be made for the
account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid
principal amounts of the Term Loans held by them; (c) each payment of
interest on Term Loans by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the
Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then
due and payable to the respective Lenders; and

 

27

 

(d) the Conversion and Continuation of Term Loans of a particular
Type (other than Conversions provided for by Section 4.6.) shall be made
pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Term
Loans and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each
Term Loan of such Type shall be coterminous.

 

Section 3.3.  Sharing of Payments, Etc.

 

If a
Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Term Loan
made by it to the Borrower under this Agreement, or shall obtain payment on any
other Obligation owing by the Borrower or a Loan Party through the exercise of
any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or
otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other
payments made by the Borrower to a Lender not in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement and such payment should be distributed to the Lenders pro rata
in accordance with Section 3.2. or Section 10.4., as applicable, such
Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in (or, if
and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans made
by the other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such
amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be
equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall share the benefit of such
payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may be incurred by such Lender in
obtaining or preserving such benefit) pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2.
or Section 10.4., as applicable.  To
such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves
(by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is
rescinded or must otherwise be restored. 
The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or
direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders
may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar
rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a
direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation.  Nothing contained herein shall require any
Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to
exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to
any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower.

 

Section 3.4.  Several Obligations.

 

No
Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Term
Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other
Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Term Loan or to
perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not
relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make a Term Loan or to perform
any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

 

Section 3.5.  Minimum Amounts.

 

(a)           Borrowings and Conversions.  Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate
minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess
thereof.  LIBOR Loans, and Conversions
thereof, shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral
multiples of $100,000 in excess of that amount.

 

(b)           Prepayments.  Each voluntary prepayment of Term Loans shall
be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of
$100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the aggregate principal amount of Term
Loans then outstanding).

 

28

 

Section 3.6.  Fees.

 

The
Borrower agrees to pay the administrative and other fees of the Agent as may be
agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Agent from time to time.

 

Section 3.7.  Computations.

 

Unless
otherwise expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan or any
other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365
or 366 days (as applicable) and the actual number of days elapsed; provided, however, any accrued interest
on any LIBOR Loan shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the
actual number of days elapsed.

 

Section 3.8.  Usury.

 

In no
event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other
Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if
any such payment is paid by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or received by
any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal,
unless the Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that the
Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith.  It is the express intent of the parties
hereto that the Borrower not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or
indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be
lawfully paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law.

 

Section 3.9.  Agreement Regarding Interest and Charges.

 

The
parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the
Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be
the interest specifically described in Sections 2.2.(a)(i) and
(ii).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication
fees, facility fees, closing fees, extension fees, underwriting fees, default
charges, late charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges,
attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by the Agent or
any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Agent or any Lender,
in each case in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents, are charges made to compensate the Agent or any
such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses
performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Agent and the
Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be
deemed to be charges for the use of money. 
All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully
earned and nonrefundable when due.

 

Section 3.10.  Statements of Account.

 

The
Agent will account to the Borrower monthly with a statement of Loans, accrued
interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the Agent shall be deemed
conclusive upon Borrower

 

29

 

absent manifest
error.  The failure of the Agent to
deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge the
Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.

 

Section 3.11.  Defaulting Lenders.

 

If for
any reason any Lender (a “Defaulting Lender”) shall fail or refuse to perform
any of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which
it is a party within the time period specified for performance of such
obligation or, if no time period is specified, if such failure or refusal
continues for a period of two Business Days after notice from the Agent, then,
in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Agent or
the Borrower under this Agreement or Applicable Law, such Defaulting Lender’s
right to participate in the administration of the Loans, this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in respect
of, to consent to or to direct any action or inaction of the Agent or to be
taken into account in the calculation of the Requisite Lenders, shall be
suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal.  If a Lender is a Defaulting Lender because it
has failed to make timely payment to the Agent of any amount required to be
paid to the Agent hereunder (without giving effect to any notice or cure
periods), in addition to other rights and remedies which the Agent or the
Borrower may have under the immediately preceding provisions or otherwise, the
Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting
Lender on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the
payment was due until the date on which the payment is made at the Federal
Funds Rate, (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction of the
defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to
such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (iii) to
bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent
jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest.  Any amounts received by the Agent in respect
of a Defaulting Lender’s Term Loans shall not be paid to such Defaulting Lender
and shall be held uninvested by the Agent and paid to such Defaulting Lender
upon such Defaulting Lender’s curing of its default.

 

Section 3.12.  Taxes.

 

(a)                                  Taxes
Generally.  All payments by the
Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other Obligations
shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future
excise, stamp or other taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges,
deductions, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by
any taxing authority, but excluding (i) franchise taxes, (ii) any
taxes imposed on or measured by any Lender’s assets, net income, receipts or
branch profits, (iii) any taxes (other than withholding taxes) with
respect to the Agent or a Lender that would not be imposed but for a connection
between the Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such taxes
(other than a connection arising solely by virtue of the activities of the
Agent or such Lender pursuant to or in respect of this Agreement or any other
Loan Document), and (iv) any taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts,
charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges to the extent imposed as a
result of the failure of the Agent or a Lender, as applicable, to provide and
keep current (to the extent legally able) any certificates, documents or other
evidence required to qualify for an exemption from, or reduced rate of, any
such taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or
other charges or required by the immediately following subsection (c) to
be furnished by the Agent or such Lender, as applicable (such non-excluded
items being collectively called “Taxes”). 
If any

 

30

 

withholding or deduction
from any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder is required in respect of
any Taxes pursuant to any Applicable Law, then the Borrower will:

 

(i)                                     pay
directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount required to be
so withheld or deducted;

 

(ii)                                  promptly
forward to the Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to
the Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority; and

 

(iii)                               pay to the Agent for its
account or the account of the applicable Lender, as the case may be, such additional
amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually
received by the Agent or such Lender will equal the full amount that the Agent
or such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been
required.

 

(b)                                 Tax
Indemnification.  If the Borrower
fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or
fails to remit to the Agent, for its account or the account of the respective
Lender, as the case may be, the required receipts or other required documentary
evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and the Lenders for any
incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Agent
or any Lender as a result of any such failure. 
For purposes of this Section, a distribution hereunder by the Agent or
any Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by the
Borrower.

 

(c)                                  Tax
Forms.  Prior to the date that any
Foreign Lender becomes a party hereto, such Foreign Lender shall deliver to the
Borrower and the Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as
required by the Internal Revenue Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant
thereto (including Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI and W-8BEN, as applicable, or appropriate successor forms),
properly completed, currently effective and duly executed by such Foreign
Lender establishing that payments to it hereunder and under the Notes are (i) not
subject to United States Federal backup withholding tax and (ii) not
subject to United States Federal withholding tax imposed under the Internal
Revenue Code.  Each such Foreign Lender
shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, (x) deliver further copies of such
forms or other appropriate certifications on or before the date that any such
forms expire or become obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring
a change in the most recent form delivered to the Borrower or the Agent and (y)
obtain such extensions of the time for filing, and renew such forms and
certifications thereof, as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the
Agent.  The Borrower shall not be
required to pay any amount pursuant to the last sentence of subsection (a) above
to any Foreign Lender or the Agent, if it is organized under the laws of a
jurisdiction outside of the United States of America, if such Foreign Lender or
the Agent, as applicable, fails to comply with the requirements of this
subsection.  If any such Foreign Lender,
to the extent it may lawfully do so, fails to deliver the above forms or other
documentation, then the Agent may withhold from any payments to be made to such
Foreign Lender under any of the Loan Documents such amounts as are required by
the Internal Revenue Code. If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Agent
did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or
other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such
Lender shall indemnify the Agent therefor, including all penalties and
interest, any

 

31

 

taxes imposed by any
jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Agent under this Section, and costs
and expenses (including all reasonable fees and disbursements of any law firm
or other external counsel and the allocated cost of internal legal services and
all disbursements of internal counsel) of the Agent.  The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall
survive the repayment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of
the Agent.

YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

 

Section 4.1.  Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.

 

(a)                                  Additional
Costs.  The Borrower shall promptly
pay to the Agent for the account of each affected Lender from time to time such
amounts as such Lender may reasonably determine to be necessary to compensate
such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are
attributable to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR Loans or its obligation
to make any LIBOR Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by
such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect
of any of such Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of
capital in respect of its Loans or its Commitment (such increases in costs and
reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), to
the extent resulting from any Regulatory Change that:  (i) changes the basis of taxation of any
amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents in respect of any of such Loans or its Commitment (other than taxes,
fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or other
charges which are excluded from the definition of Taxes pursuant to the first
sentence of Section 3.12.(a)); or (ii) imposes or modifies any
reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (other than Regulation D of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other reserve
requirement to the extent utilized in the determination of Adjusted LIBOR for
such Loan) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any
deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender, or any commitment of such
Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitment of such Lender
hereunder); or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could
have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such
Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy).

 

(b)                                 Lender’s
Suspension of LIBOR Loans.  Without
limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsection (a),
if, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs
Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of
the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that
includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is
determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit
or other assets of such Lender that includes LIBOR Loans or (ii) becomes
subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or
assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the
Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or
Continue, or to Convert any other Type of Loans into, LIBOR Loans hereunder
shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in
which case the provisions of Section 4.6. shall apply).

 

(c)                                  Notification
and Determination of Additional Costs. 
Each of the Agent and each Lender agrees to notify the Borrower of any
event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling

 

32

 

the Agent or such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding
subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, the
failure of the Agent or any Lender to give such notice shall not release the
Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder (and in the case of a Lender, to
the Agent); provided further that no Lender shall be entitled to claim any
additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss, tax or other additional amount
under this Article IV. if such Lender fails to provide such notice to the
Borrower within 180 days of the date such Lender becomes aware of the occurrence
of the event giving rise to the additional cost, reduction in amounts, loss,
tax or other additional amount.  The
Agent or such Lender agrees to furnish to the Borrower (and in the case of a
Lender, to the Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the
basis and amount of each request by the Agent or such Lender for compensation
under this Section.  Absent manifest
error, determinations by the Agent or any Lender of the effect of any
Regulatory Change shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are
made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

 

Section 4.2.  Suspension of LIBOR Loans.

 

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if,
on or prior to the determination of Adjusted LIBOR for any Interest Period:

 

(a)                                  the
Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that by
reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable
means do not exist for ascertaining Adjusted LIBOR for such Interest Period, or

 

(b)                                 the
Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that
Adjusted LIBOR will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders
of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period;

 

then the Agent shall give
the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such
condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and
shall not, make additional LIBOR Loans, Continue LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans
into LIBOR Loans and the Borrower shall, on the last day of each current
Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, either repay such LIBOR Loan
or Convert such LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan.

 

Section 4.3.  Illegality.

 

Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall reasonably determine
(which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it has become
unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR
Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof
(with a copy to the Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or
to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until
such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case
the provisions of Section 4.6. shall be applicable).

 

33

 

Section 4.4.  Compensation.

 

The
Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the
request of such Lender through the Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be
sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any
loss, cost or expense (excluding lost profits) that such Lender reasonably
determines is attributable to:

 

(a)                                  any
payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Loan, or
Conversion of a LIBOR Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including,
without limitation, acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the
Interest Period for such Loan; or

 

(b)                                 any
failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the
failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Article V.
to be satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Loan from such Lender on the requested date
for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or
Continue a LIBOR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.

 

Upon the Borrower’s request,  any
Lender  requesting compensation under
this Section shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth in
reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for
determining the amount thereof.  Absent
manifest error, determinations by any Lender in any such statement shall be
conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis
and in good faith.

 

Section 4.5.  Affected Lenders.

 

If (a) a
Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.12. or 4.1., and the
Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same, or (b) the obligation of
any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans
into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1.(b) or
4.3. but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended
under such Sections, or (c) a Lender does not vote in favor of any
amendment, modification or waiver to this Agreement which, pursuant to Section 12.6.
requires the vote of all of the Lenders, and the Requisite Lenders shall have
voted in favor of such amendment, modification or waiver, then, so long as
there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, the Borrower may
demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand the
Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Commitment and Term Loans to an
Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 12.5.(d) for
a purchase price equal to the aggregate principal balance of all Loans then
owing to the Affected Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and
accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, or any other amount as
may be mutually agreed upon by such Affected Lender and Eligible Assignee.  Each of the Agent and the Affected Lender
shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected
Lender under this Section, but at no time shall the Agent, such Affected Lender
or any other Lender be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such
replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee.  The exercise by the Borrower of its rights
under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at
no cost or expense to the Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other
Lenders.  The terms of this Section shall
not in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation to pay to any Affected Lender
compensation

 

34

 

owing to such Affected
Lender pursuant to this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 3.12.,
4.1., or 4.4.) with respect to periods up to the date of replacement.

 

Section 4.6.  Treatment of Affected Loans.

 

If the
obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base
Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 4.1.(b) or
4.3., then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base
Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR
Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 4.1.(b) or
4.3., on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Borrower with a
copy to the Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below
that the circumstances specified in Section 4.1. or 4.3. that gave rise to
such Conversion no longer exist:

 

(a)                                  to
the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so Converted, all payments
and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s
LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and

 

(b)                                 all
Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR Loans
shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans
of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain
as Base Rate Loans.

 

If such Lender gives
notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) that the circumstances
specified in Section 4.1. or 4.3. that gave rise to the Conversion of such
Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such
Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a
time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s
Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the
next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the
extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the
Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to
principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their
respective Commitment Percentages.

 

Section 4.7.  Change of Lending Office.

 

Each
Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts to designate an alternate
Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or
circumstances described in Section 3.12., 4.1. or 4.3. to reduce the
liability of the Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as
such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such
Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation
to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.

 

Section 4.8.  Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans.

 

Calculation
of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Article IV. shall be made as
though such Lender had actually funded 
LIBOR Loans through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market
bearing interest at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loans in an amount equal
to the amount of the LIBOR Loans and having a maturity comparable to the
relevant Interest

 

35

 

Period; provided,
however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it
sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of
amounts payable under this Article IV.

ARTICLE VI.
REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

 

Section 6.1.  Representations and Warranties.

 

In
order to induce the Agent and each Lender to enter into this Agreement and to
make the Term Loans, the Borrower represents and warrants to the Agent and each
Lender as follows:

 

(a)                                  Organization;
Power; Qualification.  Each of the
Borrower, its Subsidiaries and the other Loan Parties is a corporation,
partnership or other legal entity, duly organized or formed, validly existing
and in good standing under the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation,
has the power and authority to own or lease its respective properties and to
carry on its respective business as now being and hereafter proposed to be
conducted and is duly qualified and is in good standing as a foreign
corporation, partnership or other legal entity, and authorized to do business,
in each jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or the nature of
its business requires such qualification or authorization and where the failure
to be so qualified or authorized could reasonably be expected to have, in each
instance, a Material Adverse Effect.

 

38

 

(b)                                 Ownership
Structure.  As of the Agreement Date,
Part I of Schedule 6.1.(b) is a complete and correct list of all
Subsidiaries of the Borrower setting forth for each such Subsidiary, (i) the

any Equity Interests in such Subsidiary (but only a general reference to any
Person that is not an Affiliate of the Borrower), (iii) the nature of the
Equity Interests held by each such Person, (iv) the percentage of
ownership of such Subsidiary represented by such Equity Interests and (v) whether
such Subsidiary is a Material Subsidiary, a Significant Subsidiary and/or an

Date (i) each of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries owns, free and clear of
all Liens (other than Permitted Liens), and has the unencumbered right to vote,
all outstanding Equity Interests in each Person shown to be held by it on such
Schedule, (ii) all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each
such Person organized as a corporation is validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and (iii) there are no outstanding subscriptions, options,

without limitation, any stockholders’ or voting trust agreements) for the
issuance, sale, registration or voting of, or outstanding securities
convertible into, any additional shares of capital stock of any class, or
partnership or other ownership interests of any type in, any such Person.  As of the Agreement Date, Part II of Schedule 6.1.(b) correctly
sets forth all Unconsolidated Affiliates of the Borrower, including the correct
legal name of such Person, the type of legal entity which each such Person is,
and all Equity Interests in such Person held directly or indirectly by the
Borrower.

 

(c)                                  Authorization

borrow and obtain other extensions of credit hereunder.  The Borrower and each other Loan Party has
the right and power, and has taken all necessary action to authorize it, to
execute, deliver and perform each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party
in accordance with their respective terms and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby.  The
Loan Documents to which the Borrower or any other Loan Party is a party have
been duly executed and delivered by the duly authorized officers of such Person
and each is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable
against such Person in accordance with its respective terms except as the same

rights of creditors generally and the availability of equitable remedies for
the enforcement of certain obligations (other than the payment of principal)
contained herein or therein and as may be limited by equitable principles
generally.

The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Notes and
the other Loan Documents to which the Borrower or any other Loan Party is a
party in accordance with their respective terms and the borrowings and other
extensions of credit hereunder do not and will not, by the passage of time, the
giving of notice, or both:  (i) require
any Governmental Approval or violate any Applicable Law (including all
Environmental Laws) relating to the Borrower or any other Loan Party; (ii) conflict
with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under the organizational
documents of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or any material indenture,
agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower or any other Loan Party is
a party or by which it or any of its respective properties may be bound
(including, without limitation, each of the Senior Note Indentures and each of
the documents, instruments and agreements evidencing any of the Indebtedness

 

39

or any other Loan Party.

with Law; Governmental Approvals. 
Each of the Borrower, each Subsidiary and each other Loan Party is in
compliance with each Governmental Approval applicable to it and in compliance
with all other Applicable Laws (including without limitation, Environmental
Laws) relating to the Borrower, a Subsidiary or such other Loan Party, except
for noncompliances which, and Governmental Approvals the failure to possess
which, could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to
cause a Default or Event of Default or have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(f)                                    Title
to Properties; Liens.  As of the
Agreement Date, Part I of Schedule 6.1.(f) is a complete and
correct listing of all of the real property owned or leased by the Borrower,
each other Loan Party and each other Subsidiary.  Each such Person has good, marketable and
legal title to, or a valid leasehold interest in, its respective assets.  As of the Agreement Date, there are no Liens
against any assets of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party

as of the Agreement Date, a complete and correct listing of all Indebtedness of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, including without limitation, Guarantees of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, and indicating whether such Indebtedness is
Combined Secured Indebtedness or Combined Unsecured Indebtedness.

 

(h)                                 Litigation.  Except as set forth on Schedule 6.1.(h),
there are no actions, suits, investigations or proceedings pending (nor, to the
knowledge of the Borrower, are there any actions, suits or proceedings
threatened) against or in any other way relating adversely to or affecting the
Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party or any of its respective
property in any court or before any arbitrator of any kind or before or by any
other Governmental Authority which could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.  There are no strikes,
slow downs, work stoppages or walkouts or other labor disputes in progress
or threatened relating to the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party
which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(i)                                     Taxes.  All federal, state and other tax returns of
the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party required by Applicable Law
to be filed have been duly filed, and all federal, state and other taxes,
assessments and other governmental charges or levies upon the Borrower, any
Subsidiary and each other Loan Party and its respective properties, income,
profits and assets which are due and payable have been paid, except any such
nonpayment which is at the time permitted under Section 7.6.  As of the Agreement Date, none of the
Borrower, its Subsidiaries or any other Loan Party has received notice that any
of its United States income tax returns are under audit.  All charges, accruals and reserves on the
books of the Borrower and each of its Subsidiaries and each other Loan Party in
respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are in accordance with GAAP.

consolidated Subsidiaries for the fiscal quarter ending September 30,
2005, and the related unaudited consolidated statements of income and cash flow
of the Borrower and its consolidated Subsidiaries for the three fiscal quarter
period ending on such date (all as restated as of November 8, 2005).  Such financial statements (including in each
case related schedules and notes) present fairly, in all material respects and
in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the period involved,
the consolidated financial position of the Borrower and its consolidated
Subsidiaries as at such date and the results of operations and the cash flow
for such period (subject to normal year-end audit adjustments).

 

(k)                                  No
Material Adverse Change.  Since December 31,
2004, there has been no material adverse change in the business, assets,
liabilities, financial condition, results of operations or business of the
Borrower and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole. 
Each of the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and the other Loan Parties is
Solvent.

 

(l)                                     ERISA.  Each member of the ERISA Group is in
compliance with its obligations under the minimum funding standards of ERISA
and the Internal Revenue Code with respect to each Plan and is in compliance
with the presently applicable provisions of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code
with respect to each Plan, except in each case for noncompliances which could
not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  As of the Agreement Date, no member of the
ERISA Group has (i) sought a waiver of the minimum funding standard under Section 412
of the Internal Revenue Code in respect of any Plan, (ii) failed to make
any contribution or payment to any Plan or Multiemployer Plan or in respect of
any Benefit Arrangement, or made any amendment to any Plan or Benefit
Arrangement, which has resulted or could result in the imposition of a Lien or
the posting of a bond or other security under ERISA or the Internal Revenue
Code or (iii) incurred any liability under Title IV of ERISA other than a
liability to the PBGC for premiums under Section 4007 of ERISA.

 

(m)                               Not
Plan Assets; No Prohibited Transaction. 
None of the assets of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan
Party constitute “plan assets” within the meaning of ERISA, the Internal
Revenue Code and the respective regulations promulgated thereunder.  The execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the borrowing and other credit
extensions and repayment of amounts hereunder, do not and will not constitute “prohibited
transactions” under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code.

 

(n)                                 Absence
of Defaults.  Neither the Borrower,
any Subsidiary nor any other Loan Party is in default under its articles of
incorporation, bylaws, partnership agreement or other similar organizational
documents, and no event has occurred, which has not been remedied, cured or
waived, which, in any such case:  (i) constitutes
a Default or an Event of Default; or (ii) constitutes, or which with the
passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, would constitute, a default or
event of default by the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party under
any

 

41

 

agreement (other than
this Agreement) or judgment, decree or order to which the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or other Loan Party is a party or by which the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or other Loan Party or any of their respective properties may be
bound where such default or event of default could, individually or in the
aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(o)                                 Environmental
Laws.  Each of the Borrower, its
Subsidiaries and the other Loan Parties has obtained all Governmental Approvals
which are required under Environmental Laws and is in compliance with all terms
and conditions of such Governmental Approvals which the failure to obtain or to
comply with could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.  Except for any of the following
matters that could not be reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, (i) the Borrower is not aware of, and has not received notice of,
any past, present, or future events, conditions, circumstances, activities,
practices, incidents, actions, or plans which, with respect to the Borrower,
its Subsidiaries and each other Loan Party, may interfere with or prevent
compliance or continued compliance with Environmental Laws, or may give rise to
any common-law or legal liability, or otherwise form the basis of any claim,
action, demand, suit, proceeding, hearing, study, or investigation, based on or
related to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage,
disposal, transport, or handling or the emission, discharge, release or
threatened release into the environment, of any Hazardous Material; and (ii) there
is no civil, criminal, or administrative action, suit, demand, claim, hearing,
notice, or demand letter, notice of violation, investigation, or proceeding
pending or, to the Borrower’s knowledge after due inquiry, threatened, against
the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries or any other Loan Party relating in any
way to Environmental Laws.

 

(p)                                 Investment
Company; Public Utility Holding Company. 
Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary nor any other Loan Party is (i) an
“investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company”
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (ii) a
“holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company”, or an “affiliate”
of a “holding company” or of a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company”,
within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, as
amended, or (iii) subject to any other Applicable Law which purports to
regulate or restrict its ability to borrow money or to consummate the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to perform its obligations under
any Loan Document to which it is a party.

 

(q)                                 Margin
Stock.  Neither the Borrower, any
Subsidiary nor any other Loan Party is engaged principally, or as one of its
important activities, in the business of extending credit for the purpose,
whether immediate, incidental or ultimate, of buying or carrying “margin stock”
within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System.

 

(r)                                    Intellectual
Property.  Each of the Borrower, each
other Loan Party and each other Subsidiary owns or has the right to use, under
valid license agreements or otherwise, all material patents, licenses,
franchises, trademarks, trademark rights, service marks, service mark rights,
trade names, trade name rights, trade secrets and copyrights (collectively, “Intellectual
Property”) necessary to the conduct of its businesses as now conducted and as
contemplated by the Loan Documents, without known conflict with any patent,
license, franchise, trademark, trademark right, service mark, service mark
right, trade secret, trade name, copyright, or other

 

42

 

proprietary right of any
other Person.  The Borrower, each other
Loan Party and each other Subsidiary have taken all such steps as they deem
reasonably necessary to protect their respective rights under and with respect
to such Intellectual Property.  No
material claim has been asserted by any Person with respect to the use of any
such Intellectual Property by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other
Subsidiary, or challenging or questioning the validity or effectiveness of any such
Intellectual Property.  The use of such
Intellectual Property by the Borrower, its Subsidiaries and the other Loan
Parties, does not infringe on the rights of any Person, subject to such claims
and infringements as do not, in the aggregate, give rise to any liabilities on
the part of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary that
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

(s)                                  Business.  As of the Agreement Date, the Borrower and
its Subsidiaries are engaged in the business of acquiring, developing, owning
and managing neighborhood and community shopping centers, together with other
business activities incidental thereto.

 

(t)                                    Broker’s
Fees.  No broker’s or finder’s fee,
commission or similar compensation will be payable with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby.  No
other similar fees or commissions will be payable by any Loan Party for any
other services rendered to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries ancillary to
the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(u)                                 Accuracy
and Completeness of Information.  No
written information, report or other papers or data (excluding financial
projections and other forward looking statements and any financial statements
which have been restated) furnished to the Agent or any Lender by, on behalf
of, or at the direction of, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan
Party in connection with, pursuant to or relating in any way to this Agreement,
contained any untrue statement of a fact material to the creditworthiness of
the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party or omitted to state a
material fact necessary in order to make such statements contained therein, in
light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  All financial statements (including in each
case all related schedules and notes but excluding any financial statement
which has been restated) furnished to the Agent or any Lender by, on behalf of,
or at the direction of, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party in
connection with, pursuant to or relating in any way to this Agreement, present
fairly, in all material respects and in accordance with GAAP consistently
applied throughout the periods involved, the financial position of the Persons
involved as at the date thereof and the results of operations for such periods
(subject, as to interim statements, to changes resulting from normal year-end
audit adjustments).  All financial
projections and other forward looking statements prepared by or on behalf of
the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party that have been or may
hereafter be made available to the Agent or any Lender were or will be prepared
in good faith based on reasonable assumptions but with it being understood that
such projections and statements are not a guarantee of future performance.  As of the Effective Date, no fact is known to
the Borrower which has had, or may in the future have (so far as the Borrower
can reasonably foresee), a Material Adverse Effect which has not been set forth
in the financial statements referred to in Section 6.1.(j) or in such
information, reports or other papers or data or otherwise disclosed in writing
to the Agent and the Lenders.

 

43

 

(v)                                 REIT
Status.  The Borrower qualifies as a
REIT and is in compliance with all requirements and conditions imposed under
the Internal Revenue Code sufficient to allow the Borrower to maintain its
status as a REIT.

 

(w)                               Eligible
Properties.  As of the Agreement
Date, Schedule 6.1.(w) is a correct and complete list of all Eligible
Properties.

 

(x)                                   Foreign
Assets Control.  None of the
Borrower, any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of the Borrower: (i) is a
Sanctioned Person, (ii) has more than 10% of its assets in Sanctioned
Entities, or (iii) derives more than 10% of its operating income from
investments in, or transactions with, Sanctioned Persons or Sanctioned

Section 6.2.  Survival of Representations and Warranties,
Etc.

 

All
statements contained in any certificate, financial statement or other
instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any
other Loan Party to the Agent or any Lender pursuant to or in connection with
this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (including, but not limited
to, any such statement made in or in connection with any amendment hereto or
thereto or any statement contained in any certificate, financial statement or
other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower prior to the
Agreement Date and delivered to the Agent or any Lender in connection with the
underwriting or closing of the transactions contemplated hereby) shall
constitute representations and warranties made by the Borrower in favor of the
Agent or any of the Lenders under this Agreement.  All representations and warranties made under
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to be made at and
as of the Agreement Date, the Effective Date, the date on which an extension of
the Termination Date is effectuated pursuant to Section 2.9. and the date
of the occurrence of any Credit Event, except to the extent that such
representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in
which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct
in all material respects on and as of such earlier date) and except for changes
in factual circumstances not prohibited under the Loan Documents.  All such representations and warranties shall
survive the effectiveness of this Agreement, the execution and delivery of the
Loan Documents and the making of the Loans.

 

ARTICLE VII.
AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS

 

For so

comply with the following covenants:

 

Section 7.1.  Preservation of Existence and Similar

jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation and qualify and remain qualified
and authorized to do business in each jurisdiction in which the character of
its properties or the nature of its business requires such qualification and

 

44

the failure to maintain such existence or to be so authorized and qualified
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

Section 7.2.  Compliance with Applicable Law.

 

The
Borrower shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary and each other Loan Party to,
comply with all Applicable Laws, including the obtaining of all Governmental
Approvals, the failure with which to comply could reasonably be expected to

In
addition to the requirements of any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower
shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary and other Loan Party to, except where
the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a Material

tear excepted, and (b)  make or cause to be made all needed and

so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and

or levies imposed upon it or upon its income or profits or upon any properties
belonging to it, and (b) all lawful claims of materialmen, mechanics,

which, if unpaid, might become a Lien on any properties of such Person;
provided, however, that this Section shall not require the payment or
discharge of any such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim which is being
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings which operate to suspend the
collection thereof and for which adequate reserves have been established

 

45

 

on the books of the
Borrower, such Subsidiary or such other Loan Party, as applicable, in
accordance with GAAP.

 

Section 7.7.  Visits and Inspections.

 

The
Borrower shall, and shall cause each Subsidiary and other Loan Party to, permit
representatives or agents of any Lender or the Agent, from time to time after
reasonable prior notice if no Event of Default shall be in existence, as often
as may be reasonably requested, but only during normal business hours and at
the expense of such Lender or the Agent (provided that the exercise by the
Agent of its rights under this Section shall be at the expense of the
Borrower two times in any given fiscal year unless a Default or Event of
Default shall exist, in which case the exercise by the Agent or such Lender of
its rights under this Section shall be at the expense of the Borrower), as
the case may be, to: (a) visit and inspect all properties of the Borrower

expenses in respect of the transactions under this Agreement, to refinance
existing Indebtedness, and thereafter for general corporate purposes only
(including, without limitation, the acquisition and redevelopment of real
estate properties).  No part of the
proceeds of any Loan will be used (a) for the purpose of buying or
carrying “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of the Board of
Governors of the Federal Reserve System or to extend credit to others for the
purpose of purchasing or carrying any such margin stock if, in any such case,
such use might result in any of the Loans being considered to be “purpose
credit” directly or indirectly secured by margin stock within the meaning of
Regulation U or Regulation X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, (b) to finance any operations, investments or activities in, or
make any payments to, any country, agency, organization, or Person described in

Loan Party shall (a) receive notice that any violation of any
Environmental Law may have been committed or is about to be committed by such
Person, (b) receive notice that any administrative or judicial complaint
or order has been filed or is about to be filed against the Borrower, any

 

46

 

Subsidiary or any other
Loan Party alleging violations of any Environmental Law or requiring the
Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party to take any action in
connection with the release of Hazardous Materials or (c) receive any
notice from a Governmental Authority or private party alleging that the
Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party may be liable or responsible
for costs associated with a response to or cleanup of a release of Hazardous
Materials or any damages caused thereby, and the matters referred to in such
notices, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect, the Borrower shall provide the Agent with a copy of
such notice promptly, and in any event within 10 Business Days, after the
receipt thereof by the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party.  The Borrower shall, and shall cause its
Subsidiaries and the other Loan Parties to, take promptly all actions necessary
to prevent the imposition of any Liens that could reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect on any of their respective properties arising
out of or related to any Environmental Laws.

 

Section 7.10.  Books and Records.

 

The
Borrower shall, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries and the other Loan
Parties to, maintain books and records pertaining to its respective business

reasonable opinion of the Agent to carry out more effectively the provisions
and purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

the Borrower shall cause each Subsidiary that is not already a Guarantor and to
which any of the following conditions apply to become a Guarantor by executing
and delivering to the Agent the items required to be delivered under subsection (c) below:

 

(i)                                     a
Person (other than an Excluded Subsidiary) is or has become a Material
Subsidiary;

 

(ii)                                  a
Subsidiary is or has become obligated in respect of any Indebtedness other than
Nonrecourse Indebtedness, including without limitation, Indebtedness incurred
by Guarantying obligations in respect of the Revolving Credit Agreement; or

 

(iii)                               an Excluded Subsidiary
has ceased to be subject to the restriction which prevented it from delivering
an Accession Agreement pursuant to this Section.

 

47

 

(b)                                 Release
of a Guarantor.  The Borrower may
request in writing that the Agent release, and upon receipt of such request the
Agent shall release, a Guarantor from the Guaranty so long as: (i) such
Guarantor (x) qualifies, or will qualify simultaneously with its release from
the Guaranty, as an Excluded Subsidiary, (y) in the case of a Material
Subsidiary, has ceased to be, or simultaneously with its release from the
Guaranty will cease to be, a Material Subsidiary or (z) in the case of a
Subsidiary obligated in respect of any Indebtedness other than Nonrecourse
Indebtedness, such Subsidiary has ceased to be, or simultaneously with its
release from the Guaranty will cease to be, obligated in respect of such
Indebtedness; (ii) such Guarantor is not otherwise required to be a party to the
Guaranty under the immediately preceding subsection (a); (iii) no Default or
Event of Default shall then be in existence or would occur as a result of such
release, including without limitation, a Default or Event of Default resulting
from a violation of any of the covenants contained in Section 9.1.; and (iv)
the Agent shall have received such written request at least 10 Business Days
prior to the requested date of release. 
Delivery by the Borrower to the Agent of any such request shall
constitute a representation by the Borrower that the matters set forth in the
preceding sentence (both as of the date of the giving of such request and as of
the date of the effectiveness of such request) are true and correct with
respect to such request.

 

 

(c)                                  Items
Required to be Delivered.  In
connection with any Subsidiary becoming a Guarantor as provided in the
immediately preceding subsection (a), the Borrower shall deliver to the
Agent each of the following items, each in form and substance satisfactory to
the Agent: (i) an Accession Agreement executed by such Subsidiary and (ii) the
items that would have been delivered under Sections 5.1.(a)(iv) through
(viii) and (xiii) if such Subsidiary had been a Loan Party on the
Effective Date.  Such items shall be
delivered to the Agent within 10 days of the date a Person is required to
become a Guarantor under the immediately preceding subsection (a) (or
in the case of the extension of the Termination Date pursuant to Section 2.9.,
not later than the effective date of such extension).  The Borrower shall send to each Lender copies
of each of the foregoing items once the Agent has received all such items with
respect to a Subsidiary.

The
Borrower shall at all times maintain its status as a REIT.

Section 7.15.  Amendment to Revolving Credit Agreement.

 

If at any time on or after the Agreement Date
the Borrower or any other Loan Party enters into, assumes or otherwise becomes
bound or obligated under, or agrees to any new agreement with the “Lenders”
under the Revolving Credit Agreement (including any refinancings, renewals,
replacements or extensions thereof) or any amendment, modification or
supplement of any agreement which relates to the Revolving Credit Agreement
(including any

 

48

 

refinancings, renewals,
replacements or extensions thereof) or the documents executed in connection
with the Revolving Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Revolving Loan
Documents”) in any manner the effect of which would be (a) to create,
amend or add covenants or obligations of the Borrower and/or the Loan Parties
under the Revolving Loan Documents which are in addition to those contained in
the Loan Documents or (b) more restrictive on the Borrower or any Loan
Party under the Revolving Loan Documents than are the covenants contained in
the Loan Documents, then this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall, without
any further action on the part of the Borrower, any Loan Party, the Agent or
any Lender, be deemed to be amended automatically to include each such
additional covenant or provision; provided,
that the Agent, the Requisite Lenders and the Borrower may agree in writing not
to so amend this Agreement.  The Borrower
further covenants to promptly, and in any event within 30 days, execute and
deliver, and cause each other appropriate Loan Party, at the Borrower’s expense
(including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of counsel for the Agent)
a document which amends this Agreement and any other applicable Loan Document
in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent to reflect any amendment,
modification or supplement of any covenants or provision in this Agreement
pursuant to this Section, provided, that the execution and delivery of such
document shall not be a precondition to the effectiveness of such amendment,
modification or supplement.  The
provisions of this Section shall apply successively to each amendment,
modification or supplement so that the Lenders shall have the benefit of every
such amendment, modification or supplement.

deemed made; provided that this clause (d) shall not serve as the basis
for an Event of Default to the extent that (A) the Borrower’s violation of

or would exist immediately after giving effect thereto and (B) in the case
of a Default, the Default that existed at such time has been cured and, in the

security for the Obligations or the solvency of any party bound for its
payment, to take possession of all or any portion of the business operations of
the Borrower and its Subsidiaries and to exercise such power as the court shall

after the expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein.  In such event, the Borrower shall, at the
request of the Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by the Agent
in such performance or attempted performance to the Agent, together with

remedies the Agent and the Lenders may be selective and no failure or delay by
the Agent or any of the Lenders in exercising any right shall operate as a
waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right
preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or
right.

 

ARTICLE XI.
THE AGENT

 

Section 11.1.  Authorization and Action.

 

Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Agent
to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and
to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as
are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof,
together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Not in limitation of the foregoing, each
Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for
the 

 

63

 

benefit of the Lenders.  Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as
otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the
exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein,
together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be
authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. 
Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Agent a trustee or
fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Agent duties or obligations other
than those expressly provided for herein. 
At the request of a Lender, the Agent will forward to such Lender copies
or, where appropriate, originals of the documents delivered to the Agent
pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.  The Agent will also furnish to any Lender,
upon the request of such Lender, a copy of any certificate or notice furnished
to the Agent by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate of
the Borrower, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already
delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such
other Loan Document.  As to any matters
not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without
limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Agent
shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall
be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in
so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite
Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision
of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and
all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Agent shall not be required to
take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is
contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law.  Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Agent
shall not exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any
Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless
the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any
provision of this Agreement) have so directed the Agent to exercise such right or
remedy.

 

Section 11.2.  Agent’s Reliance, Etc.

 

Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the
Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in
connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or
their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Agent: (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder
thereof until the Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer
thereof signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Agent; (b) may
consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the
Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other
experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted
to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel,
accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any
Lender or any other Person and shall not be responsible to any Lender or any
other Person for any statements, warranties or representations made by any
Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (d) shall
not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or
observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions
precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Borrower
or other Persons (except for the delivery to it of any 

 

64

 

certificate or document specifically required to be delivered to it
pursuant to Section 5.1.) or inspect the property, books or records of the
Borrower or any other Person; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender
for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other
instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral covered
thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Agent on
behalf of the Lenders in any such collateral; and (f) shall incur no
liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by
acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing
(which may be by telephone or telecopy) believed by it to be genuine and
signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties.  Unless
set forth in writing to the contrary, the making of its initial Loan by a
Lender shall constitute a certification by such Lender to the Agent and the
other Lenders that the Borrower has satisfied the conditions precedent for
initial Loans set forth in Sections 5.1. and 5.2. that have not previously been waived by the Requisite Lenders.

 

Section 11.3.  Notice of Defaults.

 

The
Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a
Default or Event of Default unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender
or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable
specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice
of default.”  If any Lender (excluding
the Lender which is also serving as the Agent) becomes aware of any Default or
Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Agent such a “notice of default”;
provided, that no Lender shall have any liability for any failure to do
so.  Further, if the Agent receives such
a “notice of default”, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the
Lenders.

 

Section 11.4.  Wachovia as Lender.

 

Wachovia,
as a Lender, shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any
other Loan Document as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it
were not the Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated, include Wachovia in each case in its individual
capacity.  Wachovia and its affiliates
may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest
in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor
to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower, any other
Loan Party or any other affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and
without any duty to account therefor to the other Lenders.  Further, the Agent and any affiliate may
accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in
connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to account for the
same to the other Lenders.  The Lenders
acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, Wachovia or its affiliates may
receive information regarding the Borrower, other Loan Parties, other
Subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to
confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the
Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.

 

Section 11.5.  Approvals of Lenders.

 

All
communications from the Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s
determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the
form of a written notice 

 

65

 

to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the
matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or
disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if
any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise
describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (c) shall include, if
reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided
to such Lender, written materials and a summary of all oral information
provided to the Agent by the Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be
resolved, and (d) shall include the Agent’s recommended course of action
or determination in respect thereof. 
Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event within 10 Business
Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under
the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication.  Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Agent that it
specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of the Agent
(together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection)
within the applicable time period for reply, such Lender shall be deemed to
have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or
determination.

 

Section 11.6.  Lender Credit Decision, Etc.

 

Each
Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Agent nor any of its
officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact or other
affiliates has made any representations or warranties as to the financial
condition, operations, creditworthiness, solvency or other information
concerning the business or affairs of the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any
Subsidiary or any other Person to such Lender and that no act by the Agent
hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, any other
Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, shall be deemed to constitute any such
representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender.  Each Lender acknowledges that it has made its
own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the
transactions contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the
Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Agent, or any of their respective
officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on the financial
statements of the Borrower, the Subsidiaries or any other Affiliate thereof,
and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and
affairs of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the Subsidiaries and other
Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be
delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other
documents and information as it has deemed appropriate.  Each Lender also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or counsel
to the Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and
agents, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall
deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or
not taking action under the Loan Documents. 
Except for notices, reports and other documents and information
expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall have no duty or
responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information
concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or
creditworthiness of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate
thereof which may come into possession of the Agent, or any of its officers,
directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other affiliates.  Each Lender acknowledges that the Agent’s
legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Agent and is not acting as counsel
to such Lender.

 

66

 

Section 11.7.  Indemnification of Agent.

 

Each
Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the
Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata
in accordance with such Lender’s respective Commitment Percentage, from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed
on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent (in its capacity as Agent but
not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents,
any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted
by the Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”);
provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such
Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence
or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a
final, non-appealable judgment or if the Agent fails to follow the written
direction of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if expressly required
hereunder) unless such failure results from the Agent following the advice of
counsel to the Agent of which advice the Lenders have received notice.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing but subject to the preceding proviso, each Lender agrees to reimburse
the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting
the obligation of the Borrower to do so), promptly upon demand for its ratable
share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees of the counsel(s)
of the Agent’s own choosing) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation,
negotiation, execution, or enforcement of, or legal advice with respect to the
rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit
or action brought by the Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents
and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought
against the Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the
Agent, and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws.  Such out-of-pocket expenses (including
counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Agent
notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Agent is not entitled to
indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Agent that the
Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction that the Agent is not so entitled to
indemnification.  The agreements in this Section shall
survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or
under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement.  If the Borrower shall reimburse the Agent for
any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Agent in
respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Agent shall
share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such
payment.

 

Section 11.8.  Successor Agent.

 

The
Agent may resign at any time as Agent under the Loan Documents by giving
written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower.  The Agent may be removed as Agent under the
Loan Documents for good cause by all of the Lenders (other than the Lender then
acting as Agent) upon 30-days’ prior written notice to the Agent.  Upon any such resignation or removal, the
Requisite Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as Agent, in the case of
the removal of the Agent under the immediately preceding sentence) shall have
the right to appoint a successor Agent which appointment shall, provided no
Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval,
which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that 

 

67

 

the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each
Lender and its affiliates as a successor Agent).  If no successor Agent shall have been so
appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have
accepted such appointment, within 30 days after the resigning Agent’s giving of
notice of resignation or the Lenders’ removal of the Agent, then the resigning
or removed Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent,
which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise
shall be a commercial bank having total combined assets of at least
$50,000,000,000.  Upon the acceptance of
any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent
shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent, and the retiring or
removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the
Loan Documents.  After any Agent’s
resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article XI.
shall continue to inure to its benefit and apply as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under the Loan Documents.

 

Section 11.9.  Titled Agents.

 

Each of the Titled Agents in each such respective
capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without
limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, or
any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders.  The titles of “Arranger”, “Syndication Agent”,
“Documentation Agent” and other similar titles, are solely honorific and imply
no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Agent, the
Borrower or any Lender and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled
Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or
entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other
Lender is entitled.

for otherwise acting in good faith hereunder. The failure of a Person
designated to get a copy of a notice to receive such copy shall not affect the
validity of notice properly given to any other Person.

 

Section 12.2.  Expenses.

 

The
Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Agent for all of its
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
preparation, negotiation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or
modification to, any of the Loan Documents (including due diligence expenses
and travel expenses relating to closing), and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated thereby, including the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel to the Agent and costs and expenses in connection with
the use of IntraLinks, Inc. or other similar information transmission
systems in connection with the Loan Documents, (b) to pay or reimburse the
Agent and the Lenders for all their reasonable costs and expenses incurred in
connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under the Loan
Documents, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of their respective
counsel (including the 

 

69

 

allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) and any payments in
indemnification or otherwise payable by the Lenders to the Agent pursuant to
the Loan Documents, (c) to pay, and indemnify and hold harmless the Agent
and the Lenders from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all
liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any failure to pay or delay in
paying, documentary, stamp, excise and other similar taxes, if any, which may
be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and
delivery of any of the Loan Documents, or consummation of any amendment,
supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of,
any Loan Document and (d) to the extent not already covered by any of the
preceding subsections, to pay or reimburse the Agent and the Lenders for all
their costs and expenses incurred in connection with any bankruptcy or other
proceeding of the type described in Section 10.1.(f) or 10.1.(g),
including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Agent and any
Lender, whether such fees and expenses are incurred prior to, during or after
the commencement of such proceeding or the confirmation or conclusion of any
such proceeding.  If the Borrower shall
fail to pay any amounts required to be paid by it pursuant to this Section, the
Agent and/or the Lenders may pay such amounts on behalf of the Borrower and
either deem the same to be Loans outstanding hereunder or otherwise Obligations
owing hereunder.

 

Section 12.3.  Setoff.

 

Subject
to Section 3.3. and in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted
under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the
Agent, each Lender and each Participant is hereby authorized by the Borrower,
at any time or from time to time during the continuance of an Event of Default,
without prior notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice
being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender or Participant
subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Agent exercised in its
sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all
deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness
evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any
other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Agent, such Lender or any
affiliate of the Agent or such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of
the Borrower against and on account of any of the Obligations, irrespective of
whether or not any or all of the Loans and all other Obligations have been
declared to be, or have otherwise become, due and payable as permitted by Section 10.2.,
and although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured.

 

Section 12.4.  Litigation; Jurisdiction; Other Matters;
Waivers.

 

(a)           EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE AGENT OR ANY OF
THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND
WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES.  ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE AGENT AND THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES
ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE
IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST
ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, OR ANY OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER
BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, 

 

70

 

THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY
OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

 

(b)           EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND
EACH LENDER HEREBY AGREES THAT THE FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN
DISTRICT OF NEW YORK AND ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN,
NEW YORK, NEW YORK, SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR
DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS,
PERTAINING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOANS, THE NOTES OR
ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING HEREFROM OR THEREFROM.  THE BORROWER AND EACH OF THE LENDERS
EXPRESSLY SUBMIT AND CONSENT IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH CLAIMS OR
DISPUTES.  EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY
OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH
ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS
BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE
SAME.  THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN
THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY
THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF ANY
JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

 

(c)           THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE
BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL
UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT
OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

 

Section 12.5.  Successors and Assigns.

 

(a)           The provisions of this Agreement
shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective successors and permitted assigns, except that the Borrower may not
assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this
Agreement without the prior written consent of all Lenders and any such
assignment or other transfer to which all of the Lenders have not so consented
shall be null and void.

 

(b)           Any Lender may make, carry or transfer
Loans at, to or for the account of any of its branch offices or the office of
an affiliate of such Lender except to the extent such transfer would result in
increased costs to the Borrower.

 

(c)           Any Lender may at any time grant to
one or more banks or other financial institutions (each a “Participant”)
participating interests in its Commitment or the Obligations owing to such
Lender; provided, however, (i) any such participating interest must be for
a constant and not a varying percentage interest and (ii) after giving
effect to any such participation by a Lender, the amount of its Commitment, or
if the Commitments have been 

 

71

 

terminated, the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Notes held
by it, in which it has not granted any participating interests must be equal to
at least $5,000,000.  Except as otherwise
provided in Section 12.3., no Participant shall have any rights or
benefits under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.  A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 3.12. than
the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the
participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to
such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent.  A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender
if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.12.
unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to such Participant
and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower and the Agent, to
comply with Section 3.12.(c) as though it were a Lender.  In the event of any such grant by a Lender of
a participating interest to a Participant, such Lender shall remain responsible
for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and the Borrower and the
Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection
with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement pursuant to which any Lender
may grant such a participating interest shall provide that such Lender shall
retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the
Borrower hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided,
however, such Lender may agree with the Participant that it will not, without
the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase, or extend the term
or extend the time or waive any requirement for the reduction or termination
of, such Lender’s Commitment or Term Loans, (ii) extend the date fixed for
the payment of principal of or interest on the Loans or portions thereof owing
to such Lender, (iii) reduce the amount of any such payment of principal, (iv) reduce
the rate at which interest is payable thereon or (v) release any Guarantor
(except as otherwise permitted under Section 7.12.(b)).  An assignment or other transfer which is not
permitted by subsection (d) or (e) below shall be given effect for
purposes of this Agreement only to the extent of a participating interest
granted in accordance with this subsection (c).  Upon request from the Agent, a Lender shall
notify the Agent of the sale of any participation hereunder and, if requested
by the Agent, certify to the Agent that such participation is permitted
hereunder and that the requirements of Section 3.12.(c) have been
satisfied.

 

(d)           Any
Lender may with the prior written consent of the Agent and, so long as no
Default or Event of Default exists, the Borrower (which consent, in each case,
shall not be unreasonably withheld (it being agreed that the Borrower’s
withholding of consent to an assignment which would result in the Borrower
having to pay amounts under Section 3.12., shall be deemed to be
reasonable)), assign to one or more Eligible Assignees (each an “Assignee”) all
or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Notes
(including all or a portion of its Commitment or the Term Loans owing to such
Lender); provided, however, (i) no such consent by the Borrower shall be
required in the case of any assignment to another Lender or any affiliate of
such Lender or another Lender and no such consent by the Agent shall be
required in the case of any assignment by a Lender to any affiliate of such
Lender; (ii) unless the Borrower and the Agent otherwise agree, after
giving effect to any partial assignment by a Lender, the Assignee shall hold,
and the assigning Lender shall retain, a Commitment, or Term Loans having an
outstanding principal balance, of at least $5,000,000; and (iii) each such
assignment shall be effected by means of an Assignment and Acceptance
Agreement.  Upon execution and delivery
of such instrument and payment by such Assignee to such transferor Lender of an
amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such transferor Lender and
such 

 

72

 

Assignee, such Assignee
shall be a Lender party to this Agreement with respect to the assigned interest
as of the effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and shall
have all the rights and obligations of a Lender with respect to the assigned
interest as set forth in such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, and the
transferor Lender shall be released from its obligations hereunder with respect
to the assigned interest to a corresponding extent, and no further consent or
action by any party shall be required. 
Upon the consummation of any assignment pursuant to this subsection, the
transferor Lender, the Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate
arrangements so that new Notes are issued to the Assignee and such transferor
Lender, as appropriate.  In connection
with any such assignment, the transferor Lender shall pay to the Agent an
administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500.

 

(e)           The Agent shall maintain at the
Principal Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement delivered
to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of the names and
addresses of the Lenders the Commitments, and the Term Loans of each Lender
from time to time (the “Register”).  The
Agent shall give each Lender and the Borrower notice of the assignment by any
Lender of its rights as contemplated by this Section.  The Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder
for all purposes of this Agreement.  The
Register and copies of each Assignment and Acceptance Agreement shall be
available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time
and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice to the Agent.  Upon its receipt of an Assignment and
Acceptance Agreement executed by an assigning Lender, together with each Note
subject to such assignment, the Agent shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance
Agreement has been completed and if the Agent receives the processing and
recording fee described in subsection (d) above, (i) accept such
Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (ii) record the information contained
therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the
Borrower.

 

(f)            In addition to the assignments and
participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section, any
Lender may assign and pledge all or any portion of its Loans and its Notes to
any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A and
any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank, and such Loans and
Notes shall be fully transferable as provided therein.  No such assignment shall release the
assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder.

 

(g)           A Lender may furnish any information
concerning the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective
Subsidiaries in the possession of such Lender from time to time to Assignees and
Participants (including prospective Assignees and Participants) subject to
compliance with Section 12.8.

 

(h)           Anything in this Section to the
contrary notwithstanding, no Lender may assign or participate any interest in
any Loan held by it hereunder to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of
their respective Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

 

(i)            Each Lender agrees that, without the
prior written consent of the Borrower and the Agent, it will not make any
assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would
require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or
Note under 

 

73

 

the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of
America or of any other jurisdiction.

 

Section 12.6.  Amendments.

 

(a)           Except as otherwise expressly
provided in this Agreement, any consent or approval required or permitted by
this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be given by the Lenders may be
given, and any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document may be
amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Loan
Party or any Subsidiary of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan
Document or the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived
(either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or
prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Requisite
Lenders (and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent
of each Loan Party a party thereto).

 

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing,
without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, no
amendment, waiver or consent shall do any of the following:

 

(i)            increase
the Commitment of a Lender, change the principal amount of a Term Loan, or
subject a Lender to any additional obligations;

 

(ii)           reduce
the principal of, or interest rates that have accrued or that will be charged
on the outstanding principal amount of, any Loans or other Obligations;

 

(iii)          reduce
the amount of any Fees payable hereunder or postpone any date fixed for payment
thereof;

 

(iv)          modify
the definition of the term “Termination Date” (except as contemplated under Section 2.9.)
or otherwise postpone any date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or
interest on, any Loans or any other Obligations (including the waiver of any
Default or Event of Default as a result of the nonpayment of any such
Obligations as and when due);

 

(v)           amend
or otherwise modify the provisions of Section 3.2.;

 

(vi)          modify
the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” or otherwise modify in any other
manner the number or percentage of the Lenders required to make any
determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof,
including without limitation, any modification of this Section 12.6. if
such modification would have such effect; or

 

(vii)         release
any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty (except as otherwise
permitted under Section 7.12.(b)).

 

(c)           No amendment, waiver or consent,
other than under Section 11.8., unless in writing and signed by the Agent,
in such capacity, in addition to the Lenders required 

 

74

 

hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of
the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

(d)           No waiver shall extend to or affect
any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and
any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific
instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.5.,
no course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Agent or any
Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise
be prejudicial thereto.  Any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall
continue to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing
in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure
or other action by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person
subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default.  Except as otherwise explicitly provided for
herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrower
shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar
or other circumstances.

 

Section 12.7.  Nonliability of Agent and Lenders.

 

The
relationship between the Borrower and the Lenders and the Agent shall be solely
that of borrower and lender.  Neither the
Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower
and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and
no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be
deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Agent or any Lender to any
Lender, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party.  Neither the Agent nor any Lender undertakes
any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any
matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business or operations.

 

Section 12.8.  Confidentiality.

 

The Agent and each Lender shall use reasonable efforts
to assure that information about Borrower, the other Loan Parties and other
Subsidiaries, and the Properties thereof and their operations, affairs and
financial condition, not generally disclosed to the public, which is furnished
to the Agent or any Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any
other Loan Document shall not be divulged to any Person other than the Agent,
the Lenders, and their respective agents who are actively and directly
participating in the evaluation, administration or enforcement of the Loan
Documents and other transactions between the Agent or such Lender, as
applicable, and the Borrower, but in any event the Agent and the Lenders may
make disclosure: (a) to any of their respective affiliates (provided they
shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms
of this Section 12.8.); (b) as reasonably requested by any potential
or actual Assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with the
contemplated transfer of any Commitment or Term Loan or participations therein
as permitted hereunder (provided they shall agree to keep such information
confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); (c) as
required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof
or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings or as
otherwise required by Applicable Law; (d) to the Agent’s or such Lender’s
independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be
notified of the confidential nature of the information); (e) after the
happening and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to any other
Person, in connection with the exercise by the Agent or the 

 

75

 

Lenders of rights
hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents; (f) upon Borrower’s
prior consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), to any
contractual counter-parties to any swap or similar hedging agreement or to any
rating agency; and (g) to the extent such information (x) becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section actually
known to such Lender to be such a breach or (y) becomes available to the
Agent or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the
Borrower or any Affiliate.

 

Section 12.9.  Indemnification.

 

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

 

76

 

Indemnified Party, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
in a final, non-appealable judgment or (B) Indemnified Costs to the extent
arising directly out of or resulting directly from claims of one or more
Indemnified Parties against another Indemnified Party.

 

(b)           The Borrower’s indemnification
obligations under this Section 12.9. shall apply to all Indemnity
Proceedings arising out of, or related to, the foregoing whether or not an
Indemnified Party is a named party in such Indemnity Proceeding.  In this regard, this indemnification shall
cover all Indemnified Costs of any Indemnified Party in connection with any
deposition of any Indemnified Party or compliance with any subpoena (including
any subpoena requesting the production of documents).  This indemnification shall, among other
things, apply to any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by other creditors of the
Borrower or any Subsidiary, any shareholder of the Borrower or any Subsidiary
(whether such shareholder(s) are prosecuting such Indemnity Proceeding in their
individual capacity or derivatively on behalf of the Borrower), any account
debtor of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or by any Governmental Authority. If
indemnification is to be sought hereunder by an Indemnified Party, then such
Indemnified Party shall notify the Borrower of the commencement of any
Indemnity Proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the
Borrower shall not relieve the Borrower from any liability that it may have to
such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 12.9.

 

(c)           This indemnification shall apply to
any Indemnity Proceeding arising during the pendency of any bankruptcy
proceeding filed by or against the Borrower and/or any Subsidiary.

 

(d)           All out-of-pocket fees and expenses
of, and all amounts paid to third-persons by, an Indemnified Party shall be
advanced by the Borrower at the request of such Indemnified Party
notwithstanding any claim or assertion by the Borrower that such Indemnified
Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, upon receipt of an
undertaking by such Indemnified Party that such Indemnified Party will
reimburse the Borrower if it is actually and finally determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not so entitled to indemnification
hereunder.

 

(e)           An Indemnified Party may conduct its
own investigation and defense of, and may formulate its own strategy with
respect to, any Indemnity Proceeding covered by this Section and, as
provided above, all Indemnified Costs incurred by such Indemnified Party shall
be reimbursed by the Borrower.  No action
taken by legal counsel chosen by an Indemnified Party in investigating or
defending against any such Indemnity Proceeding shall vitiate or in any way
impair the obligations and duties of the Borrower hereunder to indemnify and
hold harmless each such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if (i) the
Borrower is required to indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant hereto and (ii) the
Borrower has provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified
Party that the Borrower has the financial wherewithal to reimburse such
Indemnified Party for any amount paid by such Indemnified Party with respect to
such Indemnity Proceeding, such Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise
any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrower
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding
the foregoing, an Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any such Indemnity
Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrower where (x) no
monetary relief is sought against such Indemnified Party in such 

 

77

 

Indemnity Proceeding or (y) there is an allegation of a violation
of law by such Indemnified Party.

 

(f)            If and to the extent that the
obligations of the Borrower under this Section are unenforceable for any
reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the
payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under
Applicable Law.

 

(g)           The Borrower’s obligations under this
Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and the payment in full in cash of the Obligations, and are in
addition to, and not in substitution of, any other of their obligations set
forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party.

 

Section 12.10.  Termination; Survival.

 

At
such time as (a) all of the Commitments have been reduced to zero or
otherwise terminated and (b) all Obligations (other than obligations which
survive as provided in the following sentence) have been paid and satisfied in
full, this Agreement shall terminate. 
The indemnities to which the Agent and the Lenders are entitled under
the provisions of Sections 3.12., 4.1., 4.4., 11.7., 12.2. and 12.9. and
any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the
provisions of Section 12.4., shall continue in full force and effect and
shall protect the Agent and the Lenders (i) notwithstanding any
termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, against events
arising after such termination as well as before and (ii) at all times
after any such party ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect to all
matters and events existing on or prior to the date such party ceased to be a
party to this Agreement.

 

Section 12.11.  Severability of Provisions.

 

Any
provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent
of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of
such provision or the remaining provisions or affecting the validity or
enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

 

Section 12.12.  GOVERNING LAW.

 

THIS
AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY
PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

 

Section 12.13.  Patriot Act.

 

The
Lenders and the Agent each hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the
requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into
law October 26, 2001)), it is required to obtain, verify and record
information that identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name
and address of the Borrower and other information that will allow such Lender
or the Agent, as applicable, to identify the Borrower in accordance with such
Act.

 

78

 

Section 12.14.  Counterparts.

 

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

 

Section 12.15.  Obligations with Respect to Loan Parties.

 

The
obligations of the Borrower to direct or prohibit the taking of certain actions
by the other Loan Parties as specified herein shall be absolute and not subject
to any defense the Borrower may have that the Borrower does not control such
Loan Parties.

 

Section 12.16.  Limitation of Liability.

 

Neither
the Agent nor any Lender, nor any affiliate, officer, director, employee,
attorney, or agent of the Agent or any Lender shall have any liability with
respect to, and the Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any
of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential
damages suffered or incurred by the Borrower in connection with, arising out
of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents.  The Borrower
hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue the Agent or any Lender or any
of the Agent’s or any Lender’s affiliates, officers, directors, employees,
attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection
with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or financed hereby.

 

Section 12.17.  Entire Agreement.

 

This
Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents referred to herein embody
the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all
prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether
written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and may not
be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent
oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto.  There are no oral agreements among the
parties hereto.

 

Section 12.18.  Construction.

 

The Agent, the Borrower and each Lender acknowledge
that each of them has had the opportunity to engage legal counsel of its own
choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents with legal counsel and that this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the Agent, the
Borrower and each Lender.

FORM OF ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE AGREEMENT

 

THIS
ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE AGREEMENT dated as of             ,
200   (the “Agreement”) by and among                           
(the “Assignor”),                           
(the “Assignee”), and WACHOVIA INVESTMENT
HOLDINGS, LLC, as Agent (the “Agent”).

 

WHEREAS,
the Assignor is a Lender under that certain Term Note Agreement dated as of November 28, 2005 (as amended, restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”),
by and among Heritage Property Investment Trust, Inc.
(the “Borrower”), the financial institutions party thereto and their assignees
under Section 12.5. thereof (the “Lenders”), the Agent, and the other
parties thereto;

 

WHEREAS,
the Assignor desires to assign to the Assignee, among other things, all or a
portion of the Assignor’s [Commitment and] Term Loans under the Credit Agreement,
all on the terms and conditions set forth herein; and

 

WHEREAS,
the Agent consents to such assignment on the terms and conditions set forth
herein;

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which hereby are acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto hereby
agree as follows:

 

Section 1.  Assignment.

 

(a)           Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement and in consideration of the payment to be made by the
Assignee to the Assignor pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement,
effective as of              ,
200   (the “Assignment Date”), the Assignor hereby irrevocably sells,
transfers and assigns to the Assignee, without recourse, [a $           
interest in and to the Assignor’s Commitment and] a $           
interest in and to the Assignor’s Term Loans (such interest[s] being
[collectively referred to as] the “Assigned Interest”) and all of the other
rights and obligations of the Assignor under the Credit Agreement, the Assignor’s
Note and the other Loan Documents (representing            %
in respect of the aggregate amount of all Lenders’ [Commitment and] Term Loans)
and all voting rights of the Assignor associated with the Assigned Interest,
all rights to receive interest on the amount of the Term Loans assigned hereby
and all facility and other Fees with respect to the Assigned Interest and other
rights of the Assignor under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents
with respect to the Assigned Interest. 
The Assignee, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, hereby assumes
all obligations of the Assignor as a Lender with respect to the Assigned
Interest, which obligations shall include, but shall not be limited to, the
obligation to indemnify the Agent as provided in the Credit Agreement (the
foregoing enumerated obligations, together with all other similar obligations
more particularly set forth in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, collectively, the “Assigned Obligations”).  The Assignor shall have no further duties or 

 

A-1

 

obligations with respect to, and shall have no further interest in, the
Assigned Obligations or the Assigned Interest from and after the Assignment
Date.

 

(b)           The assignment by the Assignor to the
Assignee hereunder is without recourse to the Assignor.  The Assignee makes and confirms to the Agent,
the Assignor, and the other Lenders all of the representations, warranties and
covenants of a Lender under Article XI. of the Credit Agreement.  Not in limitation of the foregoing, the
Assignee acknowledges and agrees that, except as set forth in Section 4
below, the Assignor is making no representations or warranties with respect to,
and the Assignee hereby releases and discharges the Assignor for any responsibility
or liability for: (i) the present or future solvency or financial
condition of the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party, (ii) any
representations, warranties, statements or information made or furnished by the
Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party in connection with the Credit
Agreement or otherwise, (iii) the validity, efficacy, sufficiency, or
enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other
document or instrument executed in connection therewith, or the collectibility
of the Assigned Obligations, (iv) the perfection, priority or validity of
any Lien with respect to any collateral at any time securing the Obligations or
the Assigned Obligations under the Notes or the Credit Agreement and (v) the
performance or failure to perform by the Borrower or any other Loan Party of
any obligation under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document to which
it is a party.  Further, the Assignee
acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, or
any affiliate or subsidiary thereof, the Assignor or any other Lender and based
on the financial statements supplied by the Borrower and such other documents
and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit and legal
analysis and decision to become a Lender under the Credit Agreement.  The Assignee also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent, the Assignor or any other
Lender and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate
at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking
action under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents or pursuant to
any other obligation.  Except as
expressly provided in the Credit Agreement, the Agent shall have no duty or
responsibility whatsoever, either initially or on a continuing basis, to
provide the Assignee with any credit or other information with respect to the
Borrower or any other Loan Party or to notify the Assignee of any Default or
Event of Default.  The Assignee has not
relied on the Agent as to any legal or factual matter in connection therewith
or in connection with the transactions contemplated thereunder.

 

Section 2.  Payment by Assignee.  In consideration of the assignment made
pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement, the Assignee agrees to pay to the
Assignor on the Assignment Date, such amount as they may agree.

 

Section 3.  Payments by Assignor.  The Assignor agrees to pay to the Agent on
the Assignment Date the administration fee, if any, payable under the
applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement.

 

Section 4.  Representations and Warranties of Assignor.  The Assignor hereby represents and warrants
to the Assignee that (a) as of the Assignment Date the Assignor is a
Lender under the Credit Agreement [having a Commitment of $           
and] holding Term Loans under the Credit Agreement ([in each case] without
reduction by any assignments thereof which have 

 

A-2

 

not yet become effective) with an outstanding principal balance equal
to $           , and
that the Assignor is not in default of its obligations under the Credit
Agreement; and (b) it is the legal and beneficial owner of the Assigned
Interest, which is free and clear of any adverse claim created by the Assignor.

 

Section 5.  Representations, Warranties and Agreements
of Assignee.  The Assignee (a) represents
and warrants that it is (i) legally authorized to enter into this
Agreement, (ii) an “accredited investor” (as such term is used in
Regulation D of the Securities Act) and (iii) an Eligible Assignee; (b) confirms
that it has received a copy of the Credit Agreement, together with copies of
the most recent financial statements delivered in connection therewith or
pursuant thereto and such other documents and information (including without
limitation the Loan Documents) as it has deemed appropriate to make its own
credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement; (c) appoints
and authorizes the Agent to take such action as contractual representative on
its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are
delegated to the Agent by the terms thereof together with such powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto; and (d) agrees that, if not already a Lender
and to the extent of the Assigned Interest, it will become a party to and shall
be bound by the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the
other Lenders are a party on the Assignment Date and will perform in accordance
therewith all of the obligations which are required to be performed by it as a
Lender with respect to the Assigned Interest.

 

Section 6.  Recording and Acknowledgment by the Agent.  Following the execution of this Agreement,
the Assignor will deliver to the Agent (a) a duly executed copy of this
Agreement for acknowledgment and recording by the Agent and (b) the
Assignor’s Term Note.  Upon such
acknowledgment and recording, from and after the Assignment Date, the Agent
shall make all payments in respect of the interest assigned hereby (including
payments of principal, interest, Fees and other amounts) to the Assignee.  The Assignor and Assignee shall make all
appropriate adjustments in payments under the Credit Agreement for periods prior
to the Assignment Date directly between themselves.

 

Section 7.  Addresses.  The Assignee specifies as its address for
notices and its Lending Office for all Loans, the offices set forth on Schedule 1
attached hereto.

 

Section 8.  Payment Instructions.  All payments to be made to the Assignee under
this Agreement by the Assignor, and all payments to be made to the Assignee
under the Credit Agreement, shall be made as provided in the Credit Agreement
in accordance with the instructions set forth on Schedule 1 attached
hereto or as the Assignee may otherwise notify the Agent.

 

Section 9.  Effectiveness of Assignment.  This Agreement, and the assignment and
assumption contemplated herein, shall not be effective until (a) this
Agreement is executed and delivered by each of the Assignor, the Assignee, the
Agent, and if required under Section 12.5.(d) of the Credit
Agreement, the Borrower, and (b) the payment to the Assignor of the
amounts, if any, owing by the Assignee pursuant to Section 2 hereof and (c) the
payment to the Agent of the amounts, if any, owing by the Assignor pursuant to Section 3
hereof.  Upon recording and
acknowledgment of this Agreement by the Agent, from and after the Assignment 

 

A-3

 

Date, (i) the Assignee shall be a party to the Credit Agreement
with respect to the Assigned Interest and have the rights and obligations of a
Lender thereunder to the extent of the Assigned Interest and (ii) the
Assignor shall relinquish its rights (except as otherwise provided in Section 12.10.
of the Credit Agreement) and be released from its obligations under the Credit
Agreement with respect to the Assigned Interest; provided, however, that if the
Assignor does not assign its entire interest under the Loan Documents, it shall
remain a Lender entitled to all of the benefits and subject to all of the
obligations thereunder with respect to its [Commitment and] Term Loans.

 

Section 10.  Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO
CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

 

Section 11.
 Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts each of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and
the same agreement.

 

Section 12.  Headings.  Section headings have been inserted
herein for convenience only and shall not be construed to be a part hereof.

 

Section 13.  Amendments; Waivers.  This Agreement may not be amended, changed,
waived or modified except by a writing executed by the Assignee and the
Assignor; provided, however, any amendment, waiver or consent which shall
affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement shall not be
effective unless signed by the Agent.

 

Section 14.  Entire Agreement.  This Agreement embodies the entire agreement
between the Assignor and the Assignee with respect to the subject matter hereof
and supersedes all other prior arrangements and understandings relating to the
subject matter hereof.

 

Section 15.  Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns.

 

Section 16.  Definitions.  Terms not otherwise defined herein are used
herein with the respective meanings given them in the Credit Agreement.

 

[Include this Section only if Borrower’s consent is required under

shall be a Lender under the Credit Agreement [having a Commitment and] holding
Term Loans equal to the amount[s] set forth in Section 1(a) above.  The Borrower agrees that the Assignee shall
have all of the rights and remedies of a Lender under the Credit Agreement and

Obligations, and to receive the facility and other Fees payable to the Lenders
as provided in the Credit Agreement.

GUARANTY dated as of November 28, 2005,
executed and delivered by each of the undersigned and the other Persons from
time to time party hereto pursuant to the execution and delivery of an
Accession Agreement in the form of Annex I hereto (all of the undersigned,

in favor of (a) WACHOVIA INVESTMENT
HOLDINGS, LLC, in its capacity as Agent (the “Agent”) for the Lenders
under that certain Term Loan Agreement dated as of November 28, 2005 (as amended, restated, supplemented or

(the “Borrower”), the financial institutions party thereto and their assignees
under Section 12.5. thereof (the “Lenders”), the Agent, and the other
parties thereto, and (b) the Lenders.

 

WHEREAS,
pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders have agreed to make available to
the Borrower certain financial accommodations on the terms and conditions set
forth in the Credit Agreement;

 

WHEREAS,
the Borrower and each of the Guarantors, though separate legal entities, are
mutually dependent on each other in the conduct of their respective businesses
as an integrated operation and have determined it to be in their mutual best
interests to obtain financing from the Lenders through their collective
efforts;

 

WHEREAS,
each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits
from the Lenders making such financial accommodations available to the Borrower
under the Credit Agreement and, accordingly, each Guarantor is willing to
guarantee the Borrower’s obligations to the Agent and the Lenders on the terms
and conditions contained herein; and

 

WHEREAS,
each Guarantor’s execution and delivery of this Guaranty is a condition to the
Lenders making, and continuing to make, such financial accommodations to the
Borrower.

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which are hereby acknowledged by each Guarantor, each Guarantor agrees as
follows:

 

Section 1.  Guaranty.  Each Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably
and unconditionally guaranties the due and punctual payment and performance
when due, whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, of all of
the following (collectively referred to as the “Guarantied Obligations”): (a) all
indebtedness and obligations owing by the Borrower to any Lender or the Agent
under or in connection with the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document,
including without limitation, the repayment of all principal of the Term Loans,
and the payment of all interest, Fees, charges, attorneys’ fees and other
amounts payable to any Lender or the Agent thereunder or in connection
therewith; (b) any and all extensions, renewals, modifications, amendments
or substitutions of the foregoing; (c) all expenses, including, without
limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that are incurred by
the Lenders and the Agent in

 

G-1

 

the enforcement of any of the foregoing or any obligation of such
Guarantor hereunder; and (d) all other Obligations.

 

Section 2.  Guaranty of Payment and Not of Collection.  This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment, and
not of collection, and a debt of each Guarantor for its own account.  Accordingly, none of the Lenders or the Agent
shall be obligated or required before enforcing this Guaranty against any
Guarantor: (a)  to pursue any right or remedy any of them may have against
the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or commence any suit or
other proceeding against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person
in any court or other tribunal; (b) to make any claim in a liquidation or
bankruptcy of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person; or (c) to
make demand of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to
enforce or seek to enforce or realize upon any collateral security held by the
Lenders or the Agent which may secure any of the Guarantied Obligations.

 

Section 3.  Guaranty Absolute.  Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guarantied
Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the documents
evidencing the same, regardless of any Applicable Law now or hereafter in
effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the
Agent or the Lenders with respect thereto. 
The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute,
irrevocable and unconditional in accordance with its terms and shall remain in
full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended,
discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence
whatsoever, including without limitation, the following (whether or not such
Guarantor consents thereto or has notice thereof):

 

(a)                                  (i) any
change in the amount, interest rate or due date or other term of any of the
Guarantied Obligations, (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of
payment of all or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations, (iii) any
amendment or waiver of, or consent to the departure from or other indulgence
with respect to, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other
document or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guarantied Obligations, or
(iv) any waiver, renewal, extension, addition, or supplement to, or
deletion from, or any other action or inaction under or in respect of, the
Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other documents,
instruments or agreements relating to the Guarantied Obligations or any other
instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Guarantied
Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;

 

(b)                                 any
lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any of the other
Loan Documents, or any other document, instrument or agreement referred to therein
or evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any
of the foregoing;

 

(c)                                  any
furnishing to the Agent or the Lenders of any security for the Guarantied
Obligations, or any sale, exchange, release or surrender of, or realization on,
any collateral securing any of the Obligations;

 

(d)                                 any
settlement or compromise of any of the Guarantied Obligations, any security
therefor, or any liability of any other party with respect to the Guarantied
Obligations, or any

 

G-2

 

subordination of the payment of the Guarantied Obligations to the
payment of any other liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party;

 

(e)                                  any
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution,
liquidation or other like proceeding relating to such Guarantor, the Borrower,
any other Loan Party or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to
this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such
proceeding;

 

(f)                                    any
act or failure to act by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person
which may adversely affect such Guarantor’s subrogation rights, if any, against
the Borrower to recover payments made under this Guaranty;

 

(g)                                 any
nonperfection or impairment of any security interest or other Lien on any
collateral, if any, securing in any way any of the Obligations;

 

(h)                                 any
application of sums paid by the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other
Person with respect to the liabilities of the Borrower to the Agent or the
Lenders regardless of what liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid;

 

(i)                                     any
defect, limitation or insufficiency in the borrowing powers of the Borrower or
in the exercise thereof; or

 

(j)                                     any
other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or
a discharge of, a Guarantor hereunder (other than indefeasible payment and
performance in full).

 

Section 4.  Action with Respect to Guarantied
Obligations.  The Lenders and the
Agent may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice
to, any Guarantor, and without discharging any Guarantor from its obligations
hereunder, take any and all actions described in Section 3 and may
otherwise: (a) amend, modify, alter or supplement the terms of any of the
Guarantied Obligations, including, but not limited to, extending or shortening
the time of payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations or changing the
interest rate that may accrue on any of the Guarantied Obligations; (b) amend,
modify, alter or supplement the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; (c) sell,
exchange, release or otherwise deal with all, or any part, of any collateral
securing any of the Obligations; (d) release any other Loan Party or other
Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Guarantied
Obligations; (e) exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights against
the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person; and (f) apply any
sum, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the Guarantied Obligations in such
order as the Lenders shall elect.

 

Section 5.  Representations and Warranties.  Each Guarantor hereby makes to the Agent and
the Lenders all of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower with
respect to or in any way relating to such Guarantor in the Credit Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, as if the same were set forth herein in full.

 

G-3

 

Section 6.  Covenants.  Each Guarantor will comply with all covenants
which the Borrower is to cause such Guarantor to comply with under the terms of
the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

 

Section 7.  Waiver.  Each Guarantor, to the fullest extent
permitted by Applicable Law, hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any
presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing,
or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to
any extent might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might
operate to discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.

 

Section 8.  Inability to Accelerate Loan.  If the Agent and/or the Lenders are prevented
under Applicable Law or otherwise from demanding or accelerating payment of any
of the Guarantied Obligations by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise, the
Agent and/or the Lenders shall be entitled to receive from each Guarantor, upon
demand therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due had such demand
or acceleration occurred.

 

Section 9.  Reinstatement of Guarantied Obligations.  If claim is ever made on the Agent or any
Lender for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment
or on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, and the Agent or such
Lender repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment,
decree or order of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction,
or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the
Agent or such Lender with any such claimant (including the Borrower or a
trustee in bankruptcy for the Borrower), then and in such event each Guarantor
agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be
binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of the
Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other instrument
evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and such Guarantor shall be and
remain liable to the Agent or such Lender for the amounts so repaid or
recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid
to the Agent or such Lender.

 

Section 10.  Subrogation.  Upon the making by any Guarantor of any
payment hereunder for the account of the Borrower, such Guarantor shall be
subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Borrower; provided, however,
that such Guarantor shall not enforce any right or receive any payment by way
of subrogation or otherwise take any action in respect of any other claim or
cause of action such Guarantor may have against the Borrower arising by reason
of any payment or performance by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty,
unless and until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid
and performed in full.  If any amount
shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of or in respect of such subrogation
rights or other claims or causes of action, such Guarantor shall hold such
amount in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and shall
forthwith pay such amount to the Agent to be credited and applied against the
Guarantied Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the
terms of the Credit Agreement or to be held by the Agent as collateral security
for any Guarantied Obligations existing.

 

Section 11.  Payments Free and Clear.  All sums payable by each Guarantor hereunder,
whether of principal, interest, Fees, expenses, premiums or otherwise, shall be
paid in full, without set-off or counterclaim or any deduction or withholding
whatsoever (including any

 

G-4

 

Taxes), and if any Guarantor is required by Applicable Law or by a
Governmental Authority to make any such deduction or withholding, such
Guarantor shall pay to the Agent and the Lenders such additional amount as will
result in the receipt by the Agent and the Lenders of the full amount payable
hereunder had such deduction or withholding not occurred or been required.

 

Section 12.  Set-off.  In addition to any rights now or hereafter
granted under any of the other Loan Documents or Applicable Law and not by way
of limitation of any such rights, each Guarantor hereby authorizes the Agent
and each Lender, at any time during the continuance of an Event of Default,
without any prior notice to such Guarantor or to any other Person, any such
notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender or
Participant subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Agent
exercised in its sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply
any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness
evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any
other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Agent, such Lender, or any
affiliate of the Agent or such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of
such Guarantor against and on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations,
although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured. Each Guarantor
agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, that any Participant
may exercise rights of setoff or counterclaim and other rights with respect to
its participation as fully as if such Participant were a direct creditor of
such Guarantor in the amount of such participation.

 

Section 13.  Subordination.  Each Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and
agrees for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders that all obligations and
liabilities of the Borrower to such Guarantor of whatever description,
including without limitation, all intercompany receivables of such Guarantor
from the Borrower (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and
junior in right of payment to all Guarantied Obligations.  If an Event of Default shall exist, then no
Guarantor shall accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property or
securities, by setoff or otherwise) from the Borrower on account of or in any
manner in respect of any Junior Claim until all of the Guarantied Obligations
have been indefeasibly paid in full.

 

Section 14.  Avoidance Provisions.  It is the intent of each Guarantor, the Agent
and the Lenders that in any Proceeding, such Guarantor’s maximum obligation
hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not
otherwise cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other
obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the Lenders) to be avoidable or
unenforceable against such Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of
Applicable Law, including without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the
Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended (the “Bankruptcy Code”), and (b) any
state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in
such Proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code
or otherwise.  The Applicable Laws under
which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such
Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent
and the Lenders) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to as
the “Avoidance Provisions”.  Accordingly,
to the extent that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder would otherwise
be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Guarantied
Obligations for which such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced
to that amount which, as of the time any of the Guarantied Obligations are
deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause
the obligations of such

 

G-5

 

Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the
Agent and the Lenders), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance
Provisions.  This Section is
intended solely to preserve the rights of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder
to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor
hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no
Guarantor or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as
against the Agent and the Lenders that would not otherwise be available to such
Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

 

Section 15.  Information.  Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for
being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower
and the other Guarantors, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk
of nonpayment of any of the Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and
extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and
agrees that none of the Agent and the Lenders shall have any duty whatsoever to
advise any Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances or risks.

 

Section 16.  Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO
CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

 

SECTION 17.  WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

 

(a)                                  EACH
PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY
GUARANTOR, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND
COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE
PARTIES.  ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE AGENT AND EACH GUARANTOR
HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY
KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE
COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY OR ANY
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE
WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF
ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

 

(b)                                 EACH OF THE GUARANTORS, THE AGENT
AND EACH LENDER HEREBY AGREES THAT THE FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN
DISTRICT OF NEW YORK OR, AT THE OPTION OF THE AGENT, ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN
THE BOROUGH OF MANHATTAN, NEW YORK, NEW YORK, SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR
AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE AGENT
OR ANY OF THE LENDERS, PERTAINING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS GUARANTY OR
ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING HEREFROM OR THEREFROM.  EACH GUARANTOR AND EACH OF THE LENDERS
EXPRESSLY SUBMIT AND CONSENT IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR
PROCEEDING

 

G-6

 

COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH CLAIMS OR DISPUTES.  EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT
IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING
IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN
INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME.  THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL
NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER
OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE AGENT OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH
FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

 

(c)                                  THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE
BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL
UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT
OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTY.

 

Section 18.  Loan Accounts.  The Agent and each Lender may maintain books
and accounts setting forth the amounts of principal, interest and other sums
paid and payable with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, and in the case of
any dispute relating to any of the outstanding amount, payment or receipt of
any of the Guarantied Obligations or otherwise, the entries in such books and
accounts shall be deemed conclusive evidence of the amounts and other matters
set forth herein, absent manifest error. 
The failure of the Agent or any Lender to maintain such books and
accounts shall not in any way relieve or discharge any Guarantor of any of its
obligations hereunder.

 

Section 19.  Waiver of Remedies.  No delay or failure on the part of the Agent
or any Lender in the exercise of any right or remedy it may have against any
Guarantor hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no
single or partial exercise by the Agent or any Lender of any such right or
remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other such right or remedy.

 

Section 20.  Termination.  This Guaranty shall remain in full force and
effect until indefeasible payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations and the
other Obligations and the termination or cancellation of the Credit Agreement
in accordance with its terms.

 

Section 21.  Successors and Assigns.  Each reference herein to the Agent or the
Lenders shall be deemed to include such Person’s respective successors and
assigns (including, but not limited to, any holder of the Guarantied
Obligations) in whose favor the provisions of this Guaranty also shall inure,
and each reference herein to each Guarantor shall be deemed to include such
Guarantor’s successors and assigns, upon whom this Guaranty also shall be
binding.  The Lenders may, in accordance
with the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement, assign, transfer or
sell any Guarantied Obligation, or grant or sell participations in any
Guarantied Obligations, to any Person without the consent of, or notice to, any
Guarantor and without releasing, discharging or modifying any Guarantor’s obligations
hereunder.  Subject

 

G-7

 

to Section 12.8. of the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor hereby
consents to the delivery by the Agent or any Lender to any Assignee or
Participant (or any prospective Assignee or Participant) of any financial or
other information regarding the Borrower or any Guarantor.  No Guarantor may assign or transfer its
rights or obligations hereunder to any Person without the prior written consent
of all Lenders and any such assignment or other transfer to which all of the
Lenders have not so consented shall be null and void.

 

Section 22.  JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS.  THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE GUARANTORS HEREUNDER
SHALL BE JOINT AND SEVERAL, AND ACCORDINGLY, EACH GUARANTOR CONFIRMS THAT IT IS
LIABLE FOR THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE “GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS” AND ALL OF THE OBLIGATIONS
AND LIABILITIES OF EACH OF THE OTHER GUARANTORS HEREUNDER.

 

Section 23.  Amendments.  This Guaranty may not be amended except in
writing signed by the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if required
under the terms of the Credit Agreement), the Agent and each Guarantor.

 

Section 24.  Payments.  All payments to be made by any Guarantor
pursuant to this Guaranty shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available
funds to the Agent at the Principal Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. on
the date of demand therefor.

 

Section 25.  Notices.  All notices, requests and other
communications hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission
or similar writing) and shall be given (a) to each Guarantor at its
address set forth below its signature hereto, (b) to the Agent or any
Lender at its respective address for notices provided for in the Credit
Agreement, or (c) as to each such party at such other address as such
party shall designate in a written notice to the other parties.  Each such notice, request or other
communication shall be effective (i) if mailed, when received; (ii) if
telecopied, when transmitted; or (iii) if hand delivered, when delivered;
provided, however, that any notice of a change of address for notices shall not
be effective until received.

 

Section 26.  Severability.  In case any provision of this Guaranty shall
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.

 

Section 27.  Headings.  Section headings used in this Guaranty
are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of this
Guaranty.

 

Section 28.  Limitation of Liability.  Neither the Agent nor any Lender, nor any
affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of the Agent or any
Lender, shall have any liability with respect to, and each Guarantor hereby
waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any
special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by
a Guarantor in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this
Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions
contemplated by this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents.  Each Guarantor hereby waives,
releases, and agrees not to sue the Agent or any Lender or any of the Agent’s
or any Lender’s affiliates, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or
agents for punitive damages in respect of

 

G-8

 

any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to,
this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any
of the transactions contemplated by Credit Agreement or financed thereby.

any Guarantor shall be commenced under the Bankruptcy Code of 1978, as amended;
