          (g) If no Request for Loan has been made within the requisite notice periods set forth in
Section 2.2 or 2.3 prior to the end of the LIBOR Period for any LIBOR Rate Loan,
then on the last day of such LIBOR Period, such LIBOR Rate Loan shall be automatically converted
into an Alternate Base Rate Loan in the same amount.

     2.2 Alternate Base Rate Loans. Each request by Borrower for an Alternate Base Rate
Loan shall be made pursuant to a Request for Loan received by the Administrative Agent, at the
Administrative Agent’s Office, not later than 1:00 p.m., Cleveland time, on the Banking Day
immediately prior to the date of the requested Alternate Base Rate Loan. All Loans shall
constitute Alternate Base Rate Loans unless properly designated as a LIBOR Rate Loan pursuant to
Section 2.3.

     2.3 LIBOR Rate Loans.

          (a) Each request by Borrower for a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be made pursuant to a Request for
Loan received by the Administrative Agent, at the Administrative Agent’s Office, not later than
1:00 p.m., Cleveland time, at least three (3) Banking Days before the first day of the applicable
LIBOR Period.

          (b) On the date which is two (2) Banking Days before the first day of the applicable LIBOR
Period, the Administrative Agent shall confirm its determination of the applicable LIBOR Rate
(which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error) and promptly shall give
notice of the same to Borrower and the Lenders.

          (c) Unless the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders otherwise consent, there shall
be no more than two (2) LIBOR Periods in effect at any one time.

          (d) No LIBOR Rate Loan may be requested or continued during the continuation of a Default or
Event of Default.

          (e) Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to fund any LIBOR Rate Advance in the
London interbank market.

     2.4 Administrative Agent’s Right to Assume Funds Available for Loans. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender no later than 1:00 p.m., Cleveland time
on the Banking Day of the proposed funding by the Administrative Agent of any Loan that

- 22 -

 

such Lender does not intend to make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s
portion of the total amount of such Loan, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has
made such amount available to the Administrative Agent on the date of the Loan and the
Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to Borrower a
corresponding amount. If the Administrative Agent has made funds available to Borrower based on
such assumption and such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative
Agent by such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding
amount on demand from such Lender plus an administrative fee of $200. If such Lender does not pay
such corresponding amount forthwith upon the Administrative Agent’s demand therefor, the
Administrative Agent promptly shall notify Borrower and Borrower shall pay such corresponding
amount (but not the administrative fee) to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent also
shall be entitled to recover from such Lender or Borrower interest on such corresponding amount in
respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made available by the
Administrative Agent to Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the
Administrative Agent, at a rate per annum equal to (i) from such Lender, the daily Federal Funds
Effective Rate or (ii) from Borrower, at the applicable rate for such Loan. Nothing herein shall
be deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its Commitment or to prejudice any
rights which the Administrative Agent or Borrower may have against any Lender as a result of any
default by such Lender hereunder.

     2.5 Extension of Maturity Date. The Borrower shall have one (1) option to extend the Maturity
Date, for a period of up to three (3) months, without being obligated to pay any extension fee,
upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent:

     (a) Borrower shall provide Administrative Agent with written notice of the Borrower’s
intent to exercise such extension option not less than thirty (30) days prior to the
Maturity Date specifying the new Maturity Date;

     (b) As of the date of Borrower’s delivery of notice of its intent to exercise this
extension option and as of the then-current Maturity Date, the Subject Property DSCR is not
less than 1.40, or if the Subject Property DSCR is less than 1.40, prior to the first day of
any such extension Borrower shall have made sufficient repayments of the Advances so that
the Outstanding Loan Amount as of the first day of such extension period shall result in a
Subject Property DSCR of not less than 1.40; and

     (c) As of the date of Borrower’s delivery of notice of its intent to exercise this
extension option, and as of the then-current Maturity Date, no Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing and Borrower shall so certify in writing.

ARTICLE 3

PAYMENTS AND FEES

     3.1 Principal and Interest.

          (a) Interest shall be payable on the outstanding daily unpaid principal amount of each Advance
from the date thereof until payment in full is made and shall accrue and be payable at

- 23 -

 

the rates
set forth or provided for herein before and after Default, before and after maturity, before and
after judgment, and before and after the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief
Law, with interest on overdue interest at the Default Rate in each case to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Laws. Interest on LIBOR Rate Loans shall be computed on a 360 day year,
and actual days elapsed. Interest on Alternate Base Rate Loans shall be computed on a 365 or 366
day year, as applicable, and actual days elapsed.

          (b) Interest accrued on each Alternate Base Rate Loan shall be due and payable on each Monthly
Payment Date or at maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 3.6, the unpaid principal amount of any Alternate Base Rate Loan shall bear
interest at a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate. Each change in the
interest rate under this Section 3.1(b) due to a change in the Alternate Base Rate shall
take effect simultaneously with the corresponding change in the Alternate Base Rate.

          (c) Interest accrued on each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be due and payable on each Monthly Payment
Date or at maturity, whether by acceleration or otherwise. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 3.6, the unpaid principal amount of any LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest at a
rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for the applicable LIBOR Period.

          (d) The Notes may, at any time and from time to time, voluntarily be paid or prepaid in whole
or in part without premium or penalty, except that with respect to any voluntary prepayment under
this Section, (i) any partial prepayment shall be not less than $1,000,000, (ii) the Administrative
Agent shall have received written notice of any prepayment by noon, Cleveland time on the date of
prepayment (which must be a Banking Day) in the case of an Alternate Base Rate Loan, and, in the
case of a LIBOR Rate Loan, three (3) Banking Days before the date of prepayment, which notice shall
identify the date and amount of the prepayment and the Loan(s) being prepaid, (iii) any payment or
prepayment of all or any part of any LIBOR Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the
applicable LIBOR Period shall be subject to Section 3.5(d) and (iv) upon any partial
prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan that reduces it below $1,000,000, the remaining portion thereof
shall automatically convert to an Alternate Base Rate Loan.

     3.2 [Intentionally Omitted].

     3.3 [Intentionally Omitted].

     3.4 Increased Commitment Costs. If any Lender shall determine in good faith that the
introduction after the Closing Date of any applicable Law or guideline regarding capital adequacy,
or any change therein or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any central
bank or other Governmental Agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by such Lender (or its LIBOR Lending Office) or any corporation controlling such Lender,
with any request, guideline or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the
force of Law) of any such central bank or other authority not imposed as a result of such Lender’s
or such corporation’s failure to comply with any other Laws, affects or would affect the amount of
capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such
Lender and (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such corporation’s policies
with respect to capital adequacy and such Lender’s desired return on capital) determines in
good faith that the amount of such capital is increased, or the rate of return on capital is
reduced, as a

- 24 -

 

consequence of its obligations under this Agreement, then, within ten (10) Banking
Days after demand of such Lender, Borrower shall pay to such Lender, from time to time as specified
in good faith by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender in light of
such circumstances, to the extent reasonably allocable to such obligations under this Agreement,
provided that Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any such amount which arose prior to the date
which is ninety (90) days preceding the date of such demand or is attributable to periods prior to
the date which is ninety (90) days preceding the date of such demand. Each Lender’s determination
of such amounts shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

     3.5 LIBOR Costs and Related Matters.

          (a) If, after the date hereof, the existence or occurrence of any Special LIBOR Circumstance:

               (i) shall subject any Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office to any tax, duty or other charge or
cost with respect to any LIBOR Rate Advance, any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR Rate Loans or its
obligation to make LIBOR Rate Advances, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to any
Lender attributable to the principal of or interest on any LIBOR Rate Advance or any other amounts
due under this Agreement in respect of any LIBOR Rate Advance, any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR
Rate Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Advances, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or
measured in whole or in part by its overall net income (including taxes on gross income imposed in
lieu of net income, minimum taxes or branch profits taxes) by (A) any jurisdiction (or political
subdivision thereof) in which it is organized or maintains its principal office or LIBOR Lending
Office or (B) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which it is “doing business”
and (ii) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on gross income imposed by the United States of
America for any period with respect to which it has failed, for any reason, to provide Borrower
with the appropriate form or forms required by Section 11.21, to the extent such forms are
then required by applicable Laws to establish a complete exemption;

               (ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve not applicable or deemed applicable
on the date hereof (including any reserve imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System, special deposit, capital or similar requirements against assets of, deposits with or for
the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office); or

               (iii) shall impose on any Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office or the London interbank market
any other condition affecting any LIBOR Rate Advance, any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR Rate Loans,
its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Advances or this Agreement, or shall otherwise affect any of the
same;

and the result of any of the foregoing, as determined in good faith by such Lender, increases the
cost to such Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office of making or maintaining any LIBOR Rate Advance or
in respect of any LIBOR Rate Advance, any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR Rate Loans or its
obligation to make LIBOR Rate Advances or reduces the amount of any sum received or receivable by
such Lender or its LIBOR Lending Office with respect to any LIBOR Rate Advance,
any of its Notes evidencing LIBOR Rate Loans or its obligation to make LIBOR Rate Advances, then,
within five (5) Banking Days after demand by such Lender (with a copy to the Administrative

- 25 -

 

Agent),
Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender
for such increased cost or reduction (determined as though such Lender’s LIBOR Lending Office had
funded 100% of its LIBOR Rate Advance in the London interbank market), provided, that with respect
to any additional amount arising as a result of the occurrence of an event described in clause (i)
above, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any such amount which arose prior to the date which
is ninety (90) days preceding the date of such demand or is attributable to periods prior to the
date which is ninety (90) days preceding the date of such demand. A statement of any Lender
claiming compensation under this subsection shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

          (b) If, after the date hereof, the existence or occurrence of any Special LIBOR Circumstance
shall, in the good faith opinion of any Lender, make it unlawful or impossible for such Lender or
its LIBOR Lending Office to make, maintain or fund its portion of any LIBOR Rate Loan, or
materially restrict the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or to take deposits of,
Dollars in the London interbank market, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the
LIBOR Rate, and such Lender shall so notify the Administrative Agent, then such Lender’s obligation
to make LIBOR Rate Advances shall be suspended for the duration of such illegality or impossibility
and the Administrative Agent forthwith shall give notice thereof to the other Lenders and Borrower.
Upon receipt of such notice, the outstanding principal amount of such Lender’s LIBOR Rate
Advances, together with accrued interest thereon, automatically shall be converted to Alternate
Base Rate Advances on either (1) the last day of the LIBOR Period(s) applicable to such LIBOR Rate
Advances if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such LIBOR Rate Advances to such
day(s) or (2) immediately if such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain such LIBOR
Rate Advances to such day(s), provided that in such event the conversion shall not be subject to
payment of a prepayment fee under Section 3.5(d). Each Lender agrees to endeavor promptly
to notify Borrower of any event of which it has actual knowledge, occurring after the Closing Date,
which will cause that Lender to notify the Administrative Agent under this Section, and agrees to
designate a different LIBOR Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for such notice
and will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially disadvantageous to
such Lender. In the event that any Lender is unable, for the reasons set forth above (or those set
forth in clause (c) below), to make, maintain or fund its portion of any LIBOR Rate Loan, such
Lender shall fund such amount as an Alternate Base Rate Advance for the same period of time, and
such amount shall be treated in all respects as an Alternate Base Rate Advance. Any Lender whose
obligation to make LIBOR Rate Advances has been suspended under this Section shall promptly notify
the Administrative Agent and Borrower of the cessation of the Special LIBOR Circumstance which gave
rise to such suspension.

          (c) If, with respect to any proposed LIBOR Rate Loan:

               (i) the Administrative Agent reasonably determines that, by reason of circumstances affecting
the London interbank market generally that are beyond the reasonable control of the Lenders,
deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to any Lender in the London
interbank market for the applicable LIBOR Period; or

               (ii) the Requisite Lenders advise the Administrative Agent that the LIBOR Rate as determined
by the Administrative Agent (i) does not represent the effective pricing

- 26 -

 

to such Lenders for
deposits in Dollars in the London interbank market in the relevant amount for the applicable LIBOR
Period, or (ii) will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to such Lenders of making the
applicable LIBOR Rate Advances;

then the Administrative Agent forthwith shall give notice thereof to Borrower and the Lenders,
whereupon until the Administrative Agent notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to
such suspension no longer exist, the obligation of the Lenders to make any future LIBOR Rate
Advances shall be suspended.

          (d) Except for a failure caused by any Lender’s default, Borrower shall indemnify the Lenders
against any loss or expense that the Lenders may sustain or incur (including, without limitation,
any loss or expense sustained or incurred in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits or other
funds acquired to effect, fund or maintain any LIBOR Rate Loans) as a consequence of (i) any
failure of Borrower to make any payment when due of any amount due hereunder, (ii) any failure of
Borrower to borrow, continue or convert a LIBOR Rate Loan on a date specified therefor in a notice
thereof, (iii) any failure to fulfill on the scheduled commencement date of any LIBOR Period
hereunder the applicable conditions set forth herein as prerequisites to an Advance that is to be a
LIBOR Rate Loan or to the election of a LIBOR Rate, (iv) any failure to borrow hereunder after a
request for a LIBOR Rate Loan has been given, (v) any payment or prepayment permitted or mandated
hereunder of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a date other than the last day of the relevant LIBOR Period,
including without limitation upon acceleration following an Event of Default, or (vi) the
occurrence of any Event of Default, including but not limited to any loss or expense sustained or
incurred or to be sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third parties
acquired to effect or maintain a LIBOR Rate Loan. Without limiting the foregoing, such loss or
expense shall conclusively be deemed to include a “Breakage Fee” (as defined below). The term
“Breakage Fee” shall mean that sum equal to the greater of $200 or the financial loss incurred by
the Lenders resulting from prepayment or failure to borrow, calculated by the Administrative Agent
as the difference between the amount of interest the Lenders would have earned (from like
investments in the Money Markets (as hereinafter defined) as of the first day of the applicable
LIBOR Period) had prepayment or failure to borrow not occurred and the interest the Lenders would
actually earn (from like investments in the Money Markets as of the date of prepayment or failure
to borrow) as a result of the redeployment of funds from the prepayment or failure to borrow.
Borrower agrees that the Breakage Fee shall not be discounted to its present value. Any voluntary
prepayment of a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be in an amount equal to the remaining entire principal
balance of such LIBOR Rate Loan. The term “Money Markets” refers to one or more wholesale funding
markets available to Lenders, including negotiable certificates of deposit, commercial paper,
Eurodollar deposits, bank notes, federal funds and others. The Administrative Agent shall provide
to Borrower a statement, signed by an officer of the Administrative Agent, explaining any such loss
or expense and setting forth the computation of the Breakage Fee pursuant to the preceding
provisions which, in the absence of manifest error, shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower.

          (e) Each Lender agrees to endeavor promptly to notify Borrower of any event of which it has
actual knowledge, occurring after the Closing Date, which will entitle such Lender to
compensation pursuant to this Section 3.5, and agrees to designate a different LIBOR
Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for or reduce the amount of such
compensation and

- 27 -

 

will not, in the good faith judgment of such Lender, otherwise be materially
disadvantageous to such Lender. Any request for compensation by a Lender under this Section
3.5 shall set forth the basis upon which it has been determined that such an amount is due from
Borrower, a calculation of the amount due, and a certification that the corresponding costs have
been incurred by the Lender.

     3.6 Late Payments. If any installment of principal or interest or any fee or cost or
other amount payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender is not paid
when due, it shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum (the “Default
Rate”) at all times equal to (i) in the case of interest or principal, the sum of the rate
otherwise applicable to the Loans, plus 3% and (ii) in the case of any other amount, the sum of the
Alternate Base Rate plus 3%, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and
unpaid interest on past due amounts (including, without limitation, interest on past due interest)
shall be compounded monthly, on the last day of each calendar month, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Laws, and shall be payable upon demand. In addition, Borrower shall pay,
upon demand, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of any amount of interest and/or principal
payable on the Loans or any other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents which
is not paid within ten (10) days of the date when due.

     3.7 Computation of Interest and Fees. Computation of interest and fees under this
Agreement shall be calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days
elapsed, except that interest at the Alternate Base Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365
or 366 day year, as applicable. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on which the Loan
is made; interest shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on which the Loan
or such portion is paid. Any Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear
interest for one day. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, interest in
excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable Laws shall not accrue or be payable hereunder
or under the Notes, and any amount paid as interest hereunder or under the Notes which would
otherwise be in excess of such maximum permitted amount shall instead be treated as a payment of
principal.

     3.8 Non Banking Days. If any payment to be made by Borrower or any other Party under
any Loan Document shall come due on a day other than a Banking Day, payment shall instead be
considered due on the next succeeding Banking Day, unless, in the case of a payment relating to a
LIBOR Rate Loan, such next succeeding Banking Day is in the next calendar month, in which case such
payment shall be made on the next preceding Banking Day, and the extension of time shall be
reflected in computing interest and fees.

- 28 -

 

     3.9 Manner and Treatment of Payments.

          (a) Each payment hereunder (except payments pursuant to Sections 3.4, 3.5,
11.3, 11.11 and 11.22) or on the Notes or under any other Loan Document
shall be made to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the account of
each of the Lenders or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in immediately available funds
not later than 2:00 p.m., Cleveland time, on the day of payment (which must be a Banking Day). All
payments received after such time, on any Banking Day, shall be deemed received on the next
succeeding Banking Day. The amount of all payments received by the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender shall be immediately paid by the Administrative Agent to the applicable
Lender in immediately available funds and, if such payment was received by the Administrative Agent
by 2:00 p.m., Cleveland time, on a Banking Day and not so made available to the account of a Lender
on that Banking Day, the Administrative Agent shall reimburse that Lender for the cost to such
Lender of funding the amount of such payment at the Federal Funds Effective Rate. All payments
shall be made in Dollars.

          (b) Each payment or prepayment shall be applied first to Alternate Base Rate Loans and then to
LIBOR Rate Loans. Each payment or prepayment on account of any such Alternate Base Rate Loan or
LIBOR Rate Loan shall be applied pro rata according to the outstanding Advances made by each Lender
comprising such Loan.

          (c) Each Lender shall keep a record (in writing or by an electronic data entry system) of
Advances made by it and payments received by it with respect to each of its Notes and, subject to
Section 10.6(g), such record shall, as against Borrower, be presumptive evidence of the
amounts owing, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the failure by any
Lender to keep such a record shall not affect Borrower’s obligation to pay the Obligations.

          (d) Each payment of any amount payable by Borrower or any other Party under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of, and
without reduction by reason of, any taxes, assessments or other charges imposed by any Governmental
Agency, central bank or comparable authority, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole
or in part by any Lender’s overall net income (including taxes on gross income imposed in lieu of
net income tax, minimum taxes or branch profits taxes) by (A) any jurisdiction (or political
subdivision thereof) in which such Lender is organized or maintains its principal office or LIBOR
Lending Office or (B) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which such Lender is
“doing business” and (ii) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on gross income imposed by the
United States of America for any period with respect to which any Lender has failed, for whatever
reason, timely to provide Borrower with the appropriate form or forms required by Section
11.21, to the extent such forms are then required by applicable Laws to establish a complete
exemption (all such non excluded taxes, assessments or other charges being hereinafter referred to
as “Taxes”). To the extent that Borrower is obligated by applicable Laws to make any deduction or
withholding on account of Taxes from any amount payable to any Lender under this Agreement,
Borrower shall (i) make such deduction or withholding and pay the same to the relevant Governmental
Agency and (ii) pay such additional amount to that Lender as is necessary to result in that
Lender’s receiving a net after Tax amount equal to the amount to which that Lender would have been
entitled under this Agreement absent such deduction or withholding.

- 29 -

 

     3.10 Funding Sources. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to obligate any
Lender to obtain the funds for any Loan or Advance in any particular place or manner or to
constitute a representation by any Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any
Loan or Advance in any particular place or manner.

     3.11 Failure to Charge Not Subsequent Waiver. Any decision by the Administrative
Agent or any Lender not to require payment of any interest (including interest arising under
Section 3.6), fee, cost or other amount payable under any Loan Document, or to calculate
any amount payable by a particular method, on any occasion shall in no way limit or be deemed a
waiver of the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender’s right to require full payment of any interest
(including interest arising under Section 3.6), fee, cost or other amount payable under any
Loan Document, or to calculate an amount payable by another method that is not inconsistent with
this Agreement, on any other or subsequent occasion.

     3.12 Administrative Agent’s Right to Assume Payments Will be Made by Borrower. Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by Borrower prior to the date on which any
payment to be made by Borrower hereunder is due that Borrower does not intend to remit such
payment, the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion, assume that Borrower has remitted such
payment when so due and the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to each Lender on such payment date an amount equal to such Lender’s
share of such assumed payment. If Borrower has not in fact remitted such payment to the
Administrative Agent, each Lender shall forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the
amount of such assumed payment made available to such Lender, together with interest thereon in
respect of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the
Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent
at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

     3.13 Calculations Detail. The Administrative Agent, and any Lender, shall provide
reasonable detail to Borrower regarding the manner in which the amount of any payment to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or that Lender, under Article 3 has been determined,
within a reasonable period of time after request by Borrower.

     3.14 Survivability. The provisions of Sections 3.4 and 3.5 shall
survive following the date on which the Commitments are terminated and all Loans hereunder are
fully paid, and Borrower shall remain obligated thereunder for all claims under such Sections made
by any Lender to Borrower.

ARTICLE 4

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

     Borrower represents and warrants to the Lenders that:

     4.1 Existence and Qualification; Power; Compliance With Laws. Parent is a corporation
duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of Maryland. Borrower is a
limited partnership, duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the Laws of Maryland.
Owner is a limited liability company duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the

- 30 -

 

Laws of Maryland. Each of the Loan Parties is duly qualified or registered to transact
business and is in good standing in each other jurisdiction in which the conduct of its business or
the ownership or leasing of its Properties makes such qualification or registration necessary,
except where the failure so to qualify or register and to be in good standing would not constitute
a Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Loan Parties has all requisite power and authority to
conduct its business, to own and lease its Properties and to execute and deliver each Loan Document
to which it is a Party and to perform its Obligations. All outstanding shares of capital stock of
Parent are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and no holder thereof has
any enforceable right of rescission under any applicable state or federal securities Laws. To
Borrower’s knowledge, each of the Loan Parties is in compliance with all Laws and other legal
requirements applicable to its business, has obtained all authorizations, consents, approvals,
orders, licenses and permits from, and has accomplished all filings, registrations and
qualifications with, or obtained exemptions from any of the foregoing from, any Governmental Agency
that are necessary for the transaction of its business, except where the failure so to comply,
obtain authorizations, etc., file, register, qualify or obtain exemptions does not constitute a
Material Adverse Effect. Parent is a “real estate investment trust” within the meaning of §856 of
the Code, has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust and is subject to federal
income taxation as a real estate investment trust pursuant to §§856-860 of the Code.

     4.2 Authority; Compliance With Other Agreements and Instruments and Government
Regulations. The execution, delivery and performance by each of the Loan Parties of the Loan
Documents to which it is a Party have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership
or limited liability company action, as applicable, and do not and will not:

          (a) Require any consent or approval not heretofore obtained of any partner, director,
stockholder, security holder or creditor of the Loan Parties;

          (b) Violate or conflict with any provision of any Loan Party’s charter, articles of
incorporation, bylaws or other organizational agreements, as applicable;

          (c) Result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any
Property now owned or leased or hereafter acquired by the Loan Parties;

          (d) Violate in any material respect any material Requirement of Law applicable to the Loan
Parties; or

          (e) Result in a breach of or constitute a default under, or cause or permit the acceleration
of any obligation owed under, any indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other Contractual
Obligation to which the Loan Parties are a party or by which the Loan Parties or any of their
Property is bound or affected;

and none of the Loan Parties is in violation of, or default under, any Requirement of Law or
Contractual Obligation, or any indenture, loan or credit agreement described in Section
4.2(e), in any respect that constitutes a Material Adverse Effect.

     4.3 No Governmental Approvals Required. Except as previously obtained or made, and
except for consents, approvals or permits pertaining to construction or development of a type that

- 31 -

 

are routinely granted and that would not normally be obtained before the commencement of
performance and which Borrower has no reason to believe will not be obtained as and when required,
no authorization, consent, approval, order, license or permit from, or filing, registration or

report and, if appropriate, a “Phase II” report, in each case prepared by a recognized
environmental consultant in accordance with customary standards which discloses that such property

value,” and “fair consideration” (as such terms are used in any applicable state fraudulent
conveyance law), in exchange for the benefits to be provided by the Loan Parties pursuant to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and but for the willingness of the Loan Parties to be
jointly and severally liable as co Loan obligor for the Loan, Loan Parties would be unable to
obtain the financing contemplated hereunder which financing will enable the Loan Parties and their
respective Subsidiaries to have available financing to conduct and expand their business.

on the Project of any member of the Consolidated Group, except:

          (a) Liens for taxes, assessments or governmental charges or levies on its Property if the same
shall not at the time be delinquent or thereafter can be paid without material penalty, or are
being contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings and for which adequate reserves shall
have been set aside on its books;

          (b) Liens imposed by Law, such as carriers’, warehousemen’s and mechanics’ liens and other
similar liens arising in the ordinary course of business which secure payment of obligations not
more than 60 days past due or which are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
and for which adequate reserves shall have been set aside on their books;

          (c) Liens arising out of pledges or deposits under workers’ compensation laws, unemployment
insurance, old age pensions, or other social security or retirement benefits, or similar
legislation;

are of a nature generally existing with respect to properties of a similar character (including,
without limitation, Liens with respect to rights of tenants under lease and rental agreements
entered into in the ordinary course of business) and which do not in any material way

- 42 -

 

affect the marketability of the same or interfere with the use thereof in the business of
Borrower or any other member of the Consolidated Group;

          (e) any other Liens that, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be expected

of loss of forfeiture or a material loss of value;

          (f) Liens in favor of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents;

Consolidated Outstanding Indebtedness which bears interest at an interest rate that is not fixed
through the maturity date of such Indebtedness to exceed thirty-five percent (35%) of Gross Asset

transaction approved in its reasonable discretion by the Administrative Agent that effectively
converts the interest rate on such excess to a fixed rate.

     6.16 Formation Documents. Permit any material change to the articles of
incorporation, bylaws, partnership agreement or any other material formation documents of Parent or
the Operating Partnership without the written consent of the Requisite Lenders, other than with
respect to changes made in connection with any preferred Equity Offering to reflect the terms of
the preferred securities being issued thereunder and any other amendments incidental thereto which
may be made without the Requisite Lenders consent, so long as the Administrative Agent has reviewed
such changes and confirmed that the terms of such preferred securities are customary and do not
create any creditors’ rights that would adversely affect in any material respect the rights of the
Lenders hereunder.

     6.17 Restrictions on Transfer. Directly or indirectly, make or permit to be made, by
voluntary or involuntary means, any sale, assignment, transfer, disposition, mortgage, pledge,
hypothecation or encumbrance of its direct or indirect interest in any Loan Party (provided that
the foregoing shall not prohibit transfers of Borrower’s interest in any other Loan Party provided
such Loan Party remains a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Borrower), or any dilution of its direct or
indirect interest in any Loan Party. Borrower shall not in any manner transfer, assign, diminish
or otherwise restrict its direct or indirect right to vote or other rights with respect to any Loan
Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may sell, assign, transfer or dispose of its
interest in another Loan Party that is a Subsidiary of Borrower, provided that on or before the
closing of such sale Borrower shall have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certification,
together with such

- 43 -

 

other evidence as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require, that Borrower will be in
compliance with all covenants in this Agreement after giving effect to such sale, assignment,
transfer or other disposition.

thirty (30) days after the giving of notice by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Requisite
Lenders of such Default or, if such Default is not reasonably susceptible of cure within such
period, within such longer period as is reasonably necessary to effect a cure so long as Borrower
or such Loan Party continues to diligently pursue cure of such Default but not in any event in
excess of ninety (90) days; and provided further, however, that notwithstanding the 30-day cure
period or extended cure period described above in this clause (f), if a different notice or cure
period is specified under any Loan Document or under any provision of the Loan Documents as to any
such failure or breach, the specific Loan Document or provision shall control, and Borrower or such
Loan Party shall have no more time to cure the failure or breach than is allowed under the specific
Loan Document or provision as to such failure or breach; or

          (g) Any representation or warranty of Borrower or any other Loan Party made in any Loan

or (B) any present or future Non-Recourse Indebtedness having an outstanding principal balance,

right to declare such Indebtedness due before the date on which it otherwise would become due or
the right to require such member of the Consolidated Group to redeem or purchase, or offer to
redeem or purchase, all or any portion of such Indebtedness (provided, that for the purpose of this

          (n) Alan Gold shall at any time cease to be the Chief Executive Officer of Parent; provided
that the foregoing shall not constitute an Event of Default if a competent and experienced
successor for such Person shall be approved by the Requisite Lenders within three (3) months of
such event, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned; or

          (o) Failure to remediate within the time period permitted by Law or governmental order, after
all administrative hearings and appeals have been concluded (or within a reasonable time in light
of the nature of the problem if no specific time period is so established), material environmental
problems at Projects owned by Borrower or any other member of the Consolidated Group or any
Investment Affiliate which contribute in the aggregate in excess of $5,000,000 to Gross Asset
Value.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lenders have agreed that the Indemnity Deed of Trust, Security
Agreement, Assignment of Rents and Fixture Filing and the Indemnity Assignment of Leases and Rents
included in the Security Documents shall be effective but shall not be recorded in the recorder’s
office of Montgomery County, Maryland, unless and until an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing under the Loan Documents. Provided further that with respect to any Event of Default
other than with respect to Sections 9.1(a) and 9.1(b) hereof, Administrative Agent shall give
Borrower thirty (30) days prior written notice of its intention to record the Deed of Trust and
Administrative Agent shall be permitted to cause such recording to occur if such thirty (30) day
period has expired and Borrower shall not have cured the Event of Default.

     9.2 Remedies Upon Event of Default. Without limiting any other rights or remedies of
the Administrative Agent or the Lenders provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, or the other Loan
Documents, or by applicable Law, or in equity, or otherwise:

          (a) Upon the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any Event of Default other than an
Event of Default described in Section 9.1(k), the Requisite Lenders may request the
Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent thereupon shall, declare all or any part of
the unpaid principal of all Notes, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other amounts
payable under the Loan Documents to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the same shall become
and be forthwith due and payable, without protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or
further notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower.

          (b) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default described in
Section 9.1(k), the unpaid principal of all Notes, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon
and all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents shall be forthwith due and payable, all
without protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind, all of
which are expressly waived by Borrower.

          (c) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Administrative
Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, without notice to (except as expressly provided for in any Loan
Document) or demand upon Borrower, which are expressly waived by Borrower (except as to notices
expressly provided for in any Loan Document), may proceed (but only with the consent of the
Requisite Lenders) to protect, exercise and enforce their rights and remedies under the Loan
Documents against Borrower and any other Loan Party and such other rights and remedies as are
provided by Law or equity.

- 51 -

 

          (d) The order and manner in which the Lenders’ rights and remedies are to be exercised shall
be determined by the Requisite Lenders in their sole discretion, and all payments received by the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, shall be applied first to the costs and
expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and the reasonably allocated costs
of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or by any Lender) of the Administrative Agent and
of the Lenders, then to the repayment of the Loans, and thereafter paid pro rata to the Lenders in
the same proportions that the aggregate Obligations owed to each Lender under the Loan Documents
bear to the aggregate Obligations owed under the Loan Documents to all the Lenders, without
priority or preference among the Lenders. Regardless of how each Lender may treat payments for the
purpose of its own accounting, for the purpose of computing the Obligations hereunder and under the
Notes, payments shall be applied first, to the costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders, as set forth above, second, to the payment of accrued and unpaid interest due under
any Loan Documents to and including the date of such application (ratably, and without duplication,
according to the accrued and unpaid interest due under each of the Loan Documents), and third, pari
passu to the payment of all other amounts (including principal and fees) then owing to the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders under the Loan Documents and to the payment of any termination
payments due from Borrower in respect of Swap Agreements. No application of payments under this
clause (d) will cure any Event of Default, or prevent acceleration, or continued acceleration, of
amounts payable under the Loan Documents, or prevent the exercise, or continued exercise, of rights
or remedies of the Lenders hereunder or thereunder or at Law or in equity.

ARTICLE 10

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

     10.1 Appointment and Authorization. Subject to Section 10.8, each Lender
hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as the
contractual representative on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as
are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms thereof or are reasonably incidental, as
determined by the Administrative Agent, thereto. This appointment and authorization is intended
solely for the purpose of facilitating the servicing of the Loans and does not constitute
appointment of the Administrative Agent as trustee for any Lender or as representative of any
Lender for any other purpose and, the Administrative Agent shall take such action and exercise such
powers only in an administrative and ministerial capacity.

     10.2 Administrative Agent and Affiliates. KeyBank (and each successor Administrative
Agent in its individual capacity) has the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any
other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term
“Lender” or “Lenders” includes KeyBank in its individual capacity. KeyBank (and each successor
Administrative Agent in its individual capacity) and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend
money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with Borrower or any
other member of the Consolidated Group, as if it were not the Administrative Agent and without any
duty to account therefor to the Lenders. KeyBank (and each successor Administrative Agent in its
individual capacity) need not account to any other Lender for any monies received by it for
reimbursement of its costs and expenses as the Administrative Agent

- 52 -

 

hereunder, or for any monies received by it in its capacity as a Lender hereunder, other than
as required of any Lender hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to hold a
fiduciary or agency relationship with any Lender and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this Agreement or otherwise
exist against the Administrative Agent.

      10.3 Proportionate Interest in any Collateral. The Administrative Agent, on behalf of
all the Lenders, shall hold in accordance with the Loan Documents all items of collateral (if any)
or interests therein received or held by the Administrative Agent. Subject to the Administrative
Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights to reimbursement for their costs and expenses hereunder (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other professional services and the reasonably
allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or, upon the occurrence and
during the continuation of an Event of Default, a Lender) and subject to the application of
payments in accordance with Section 9.2(d), each Lender shall have an interest in the
Administrative Agent’s interest in such collateral (if any) or interests therein in the same
proportions that the aggregate Obligations owed such Lender under the Loan Documents bear to the
aggregate Obligations owed under the Loan Documents to all the Lenders, without priority or
preference among the Lenders.

      10.4 Lenders’ Credit Decisions. Each Lender agrees that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or the directors, officers,
agents, employees or attorneys of the Administrative Agent or of any other Lender, and instead in
reliance upon information supplied to it by or on behalf of Borrower and upon such other
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own independent credit analysis and decision to
enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also agrees that it shall, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or the directors, officers, agents,
employees or attorneys of the Administrative Agent or of any other Lender, continue to make its own
independent credit analyses and decisions in acting or not acting under the Loan Documents.

      10.5 Action by Administrative Agent.

          (a) Absent actual knowledge of the Administrative Agent of the existence of a Default, the
Administrative Agent may assume that no Default (other than the failure to make a payment of
principal or interest when due) has occurred and is continuing, unless the Administrative Agent has
received notice from Borrower stating the nature of the Default or has received notice from a
Lender stating the nature of the Default and that such Lender considers the Default to have
occurred and to be continuing.

          (b) The Administrative Agent has only those obligations under the Loan Documents as are
expressly set forth therein.

          (c) Except for any obligation expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and as long as the
Administrative Agent may assume that no Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative
Agent may, but shall not be required to, exercise its discretion to act or not act, except that the
Administrative Agent shall be required to comply with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or
of all the Lenders, to the extent required by Section 12.1) and those instructions shall be
binding upon the Administrative Agent and all the Lenders, provided that the Administrative Agent
shall not be required to comply with such instructions if to do so would be

- 53 -

 

contrary to any Loan Document or to applicable Law or would result, in the reasonable judgment
of the Administrative Agent, in substantial risk of liability to the Administrative Agent.

          (d) If the Administrative Agent has received a notice specified in clause (a) or has actual
knowledge of the existence of a Default, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice
thereof to the Lenders and shall comply with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or of all
the Lenders, to the extent required by Section 12.1), provided that the Administrative
Agent shall not be required to comply with such instructions if to do so would be contrary to any
Loan Document or to applicable Law or would result, in the reasonable judgment of the
Administrative Agent, in substantial risk of liability to the Administrative Agent, and except that
if the Requisite Lenders (or all the Lenders, if required under Section 12.1) fail, for
five (5) Banking Days after the receipt of notice from the Administrative Agent, to instruct the
Administrative Agent, then the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, may act or not act as
it deems advisable for the protection of the interests of the Lenders.

     10.6 Liability of Administrative Agent. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of
its directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys shall be liable for any action taken or not
taken by them under or in connection with the Loan Documents, except for their own gross negligence
or willful misconduct. Without limitation on the foregoing, the Administrative Agent and its
directors, officers, agents, employees and attorneys:

          (a) May treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Administrative Agent
receives notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, in form satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent, signed by the payee, and may treat each Lender as the owner of that Lender’s interest in the
Obligations for all purposes of this Agreement until the Administrative Agent receives notice of
the assignment or transfer thereof, in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, signed by
that Lender;

          (b) May consult with legal counsel (including in house legal counsel), accountants (including
in house accountants) and other professionals or experts selected by it, or with legal counsel,
accountants or other professionals or experts for the Consolidated Group or the Lenders, and shall
not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in good faith in accordance with any advice
of such legal counsel, accountants or other professionals or experts;

          (c) Shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statement, warranty or representation made
in any of the Loan Documents or in any notice, certificate, report, request or other statement
(written or oral) given or made in connection with any of the Loan Documents;

          (d) Shall have no duty to ask or inquire as to the performance or observance by Borrower or
the Loan Parties of any of the terms, conditions (except to ascertain that documents facially
responsive to the requirements of Article 8 have been delivered) or covenants of any of the
Loan Documents or to inspect any collateral or any Property, books or records of the Loan Parties;

          (e) Will not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, effectiveness, sufficiency or value of any Loan Document, any other
instrument or writing furnished pursuant thereto or in connection therewith, or any collateral;

- 54 -

 

          (f) Will not incur any liability by acting or not acting in reliance upon any Loan Document,
notice, consent, certificate, statement, request or other instrument or writing believed in good
faith by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper party or parties;

          (g) Will not incur any liability for any arithmetical error in computing any amount paid or
payable by Borrower or any other Loan Party thereof or paid or payable to or received or receivable
from any Lender under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, principal, interest,
commitment fees, Advances and other amounts; provided that, promptly upon discovery of such an
error in computation, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and (to the extent applicable) Borrower
and/or the other Loan Parties shall make such adjustments as are necessary to correct such error
and to restore the parties to the position that they would have occupied had the error not
occurred; and

          (h) Have not made nor do they now make any representations or warranties, express or implied,
nor do they assume any liability to the Lenders, with respect to the creditworthiness or financial
condition of the Consolidated Group, the value of their respective assets or the collectability of
the Loans.

     10.7 Indemnification. Each Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Percentage of
the aggregate Indebtedness then evidenced by the Notes, indemnify and hold the Administrative Agent
and its directors, officers, agents, employees and attorneys harmless against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements and allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent) that may be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it or them in any way relating to or arising out of the
Loan Documents (other than losses incurred by reason of the failure of Borrower to pay the
Indebtedness represented by the Notes) or any action taken or not taken by it as the Administrative
Agent thereunder, except such as result from its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Without limitation on the foregoing, each Lender shall reimburse the Administrative Agent upon
demand for that Lender’s Percentage of any out of pocket cost or expense incurred by the
Administrative Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery,
amendment, waiver, restructuring, reorganization (including a bankruptcy reorganization),
enforcement or attempted enforcement of the Loan Documents, to the extent that any Borrower or any
other Loan Party is required by Section 11.3 to pay that cost or expense but fails to do so
upon demand. Nothing in this Section 10.7 shall entitle the Administrative Agent or any
indemnitee referred to above to recover any amount from the Lenders if and to the extent that such
amount has theretofore been recovered from Borrower or any other Loan Party. To the extent that
the Administrative Agent or any indemnitee referred to above is later reimbursed such amount by
Borrower or any other Loan Party, it shall return the amounts paid to it by the Lenders in respect
of such amount.

     10.8 Successor Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may resign as
Administrative Agent upon reasonable notice to the Lenders and Borrower effective not earlier than
thirty (30) days after such notice, upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Administrative
Agent. The Requisite Lenders may (with the prior consent, not to be unreasonably withheld or
delayed, of Parent, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing) remove the
Administrative Agent from its capacity as Administrative Agent in the event of the Administrative

- 55 -

 

Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence. If the Administrative Agent shall resign or
be removed as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the Requisite Lenders shall appoint from
among the Lenders a successor Administrative Agent for the Lenders, which successor Administrative
Agent shall require approval by Parent so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing (and such approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor
Administrative Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting with the Lenders and,
so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, with the consent of
Parent, a successor Administrative Agent from among the Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its
appointment as successor Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall
succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent and the term
“Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor Administrative Agent and the retiring
Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated.
After any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent,
the provisions of this Article 10, and Sections 11.3, 11.11 and
11.22, shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it
while it was Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no
successor Administrative Agent has accepted appointment as Administrative Agent by the date which
is thirty (30) days following a retiring Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring
Administrative Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the Lenders
shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder until such time, if any, as
the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above.

     10.9 No Obligations of Borrower. Nothing contained in this Article 10 shall
be deemed to impose upon Borrower any obligation in respect of the due and punctual performance by
the Administrative Agent of its obligations to the Lenders under any provision of this Agreement,
and Borrower shall have no liability to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in respect
of any failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to perform any of its obligations to the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, where any provision of this Agreement relating to the payment of any amounts due and
owing under the Loan Documents provides that such payments shall be made by Borrower to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, Borrower’s obligations to the Lenders in
respect of such payments shall be deemed to be satisfied upon the making of such payments to the
Administrative Agent in the manner provided by this Agreement.

ARTICLE 11

MISCELLANEOUS

     11.1 Cumulative Remedies; No Waiver. The rights, powers, privileges and remedies of
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders provided herein or in any Note or other Loan Document are
cumulative and not exclusive of any right, power, privilege or remedy provided by Law or equity.
No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right,
power, privilege or remedy may be, or may be deemed to be, a waiver thereof; nor may any single or
partial exercise of any right, power, privilege or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of
the same or any other right, power, privilege or remedy. The terms and conditions of

- 56 -

 

Article 8 hereof are inserted for the sole benefit of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders; the same may be waived in whole or in part, with or without terms or conditions, in
respect of any Loan without prejudicing the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights to assert
them in whole or in part in respect of any other Loan.

     11.2 [Intentionally Omitted.]

     11.3 Costs, Expenses and Taxes. Borrower shall pay within five (5) Banking Days after
demand, accompanied by an invoice therefor, the reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative
Agent in connection with the negotiation, preparation, syndication, execution, delivery,
administration and interpretation of the Loan Documents and any amendment thereto or waiver
thereof. Following and during the continuation of an Event of Default, Borrower shall also pay on
demand, accompanied by an invoice therefor, the reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders in connection with the refinancing, restructuring, reorganization (including
a bankruptcy reorganization) and enforcement or attempted enforcement of the Loan Documents, and
any matter related thereto. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include filing fees, recording
fees, title insurance fees, appraisal fees, search fees, and other out of pocket expenses and the
reasonable fees and out of pocket expenses of any legal counsel (including reasonably allocated
costs of legal counsel employed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender), independent public
accountants and other outside experts retained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, whether
or not such costs and expenses are incurred or suffered by the Administrative Agent or any Lender
in connection with or during the course of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of any member
of the Consolidated Group. Borrower shall pay any and all documentary and other taxes, excluding
(i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by any Lender’s overall net income imposed on
such Lender (including taxes on gross income imposed in lieu of net income, minimum taxes or branch
profits taxes) by (A) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which such Lender is
organized or maintains its principal office or LIBOR Lending Office or (B) any jurisdiction (or
political subdivision thereof) in which such Lender is “doing business” or (ii) any withholding
taxes or other taxes based on gross income imposed by the United States of America for any period
with respect to which any Lender has failed, for any reason, to provide Borrower with the
appropriate form or forms required by Section 11.21, to the extent such forms are then
required by applicable Laws to establish a complete exemption, and all costs, expenses, fees and
charges payable or determined to be payable in connection with the filing or recording of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or writing to be delivered hereunder or
thereunder, or in connection with any transaction pursuant hereto or thereto, and shall reimburse,
hold harmless and indemnify on the terms set forth in Section 11.11 the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders from and against any and all loss, liability or legal or other expense with
respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or failure to pay any such tax, cost, expense, fee
or charge or that any of them may suffer or incur by reason of the failure of any Party to perform
any of its Obligations. Any amount payable to the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this
Section 11.3 shall bear interest from the fifth Banking Day following the date of demand
for payment at the Default Rate.

     11.4 Nature of Lenders’ Obligations. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder are
several and not joint or joint and several. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document and no action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any of them pursuant

- 57 -

 

hereto or thereto may, or may be deemed to, make the Lenders a partnership, an association, a
joint venture or other entity, either among themselves or with Borrower or any other member of the
Consolidated Group. A default by any Lender will not increase the Percentage of the Commitments
attributable to any other Lender. Any Lender not in default may, if it desires, assume in such
proportion as the nondefaulting Lenders agree the obligations of any Lender in default, but is not
obligated to do so. The Administrative Agent agrees that it will use reasonable efforts (which
will not include the payment of money) either to induce the other Lenders to assume the obligations
of a Lender in default or to obtain another Lender, reasonably satisfactory to Borrower, to replace
such a Lender in default. A defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the
Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any rights to consent to or direct any action or
inaction of the Administrative Agent or to vote on any matter presented to the Lenders shall be
suspended during the pendency of such Lender’s default.

     11.5 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties
contained herein or in any other Loan Document, or in any certificate or other writing delivered by
or on behalf of any one or more of the Parties to any Loan Document, will survive the making of the
Loans hereunder and the execution and delivery of the Notes, and have been or will be relied upon
by the Administrative Agent and each Lender, notwithstanding any investigation made by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender or on their behalf.

     11.6 Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, all
notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications provided for hereunder or under any
other Loan Document must be in writing and must be mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, dispatched by
commercial courier or delivered to the appropriate party at the address set forth on the signature
pages of this Agreement or other applicable Loan Document or, as to any party to any Loan Document,
at any other address as may be designated by it in a written notice sent to all other parties to
such Loan Document in accordance with this Section. Except as otherwise expressly provided in any
Loan Document, if any notice, request, demand, direction or other communication required or
permitted by any Loan Document is given by mail it will be effective on the earlier of receipt or
the fourth Banking Day after deposit in the United States mail with first class or airmail postage
prepaid; if given by telegraph or cable, when delivered to the telegraph company with charges
prepaid; if given by telecopier, when sent; if dispatched by commercial courier, on the scheduled
delivery date; or if given by personal delivery, when delivered (provided that if any such
communication is received after normal business hours or on a day that is not a Banking Day, it
shall be deemed to have been received on the next Banking Day following receipt). The
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices purportedly
given by or on behalf of Borrower and Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices
purportedly given to them by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent, even if (i) such notices
were not made in a manner specified herein, were incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any
other form of notice specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient,
varied from any confirmation thereof. Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each
Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance of such Person
on each notice purportedly given by Borrower, except to the extent of such Person’s gross
negligence.

     11.7 Execution of Loan Documents. Unless the Administrative Agent otherwise specifies
with respect to any Loan Document, (a) this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be

- 58 -

 

executed in any number of counterparts and any party hereto or thereto may execute any
counterpart, each of which when executed and delivered will be deemed to be an original and all of
which counterparts of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as the case may be, when taken
together will be deemed to be but one and the same instrument and (b) execution of any such
counterpart may be evidenced by a telecopier transmission of the signature of such party. The
execution of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party hereto or thereto will not
become effective until counterparts hereof or thereof, as the case may be, have been executed by
all the parties hereto or thereto.

     11.8 Binding Effect; Assignment.

          (a) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Loan Parties are a party are and
will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Loan Parties, the Administrative Agent, each
of the Lenders, and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Loan Parties may not
assign their rights hereunder or thereunder or any interest herein or therein without the prior
written consent of all the Lenders, and any purported assignment without such consent shall be null
and void. Each Lender represents that it is not acquiring its Note with a view to the distribution
thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (subject to any requirement
that disposition of such Note must be within the control of such Lender). Any Lender may at any
time pledge or assign a security in all or any portion of its Note or any other instrument
evidencing its rights as a Lender under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender,
including without limitation (i) any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal
Reserve Bank, and (ii) in the case of a Lender that is a Related Fund, any pledge or assignment to
any holders of obligations owed, or security issued, by such Lender, including to any trustee for,
or any other representative of such holders, provided that no such pledge shall release that Lender
from its obligations hereunder or grant to such Federal Reserve Bank or other pledgee or assignee
the rights of a Lender hereunder absent foreclosure of such pledge or assignment.

          (b) From time to time following the Closing Date, each Lender may assign to one or more
Eligible Assignees all or any portion of its Commitment; provided that (i) such Eligible Assignee,
if not then a Lender or an Affiliate or Related Fund of a Lender, shall require approval by the
Administrative Agent and (if no Event of Default then exists) Parent (neither of which approvals
shall be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) such assignment shall be evidenced by a
Commitments Assignment and Acceptance, a copy of which, together with any Notes subject to such
assignment, shall be furnished to the Administrative Agent as hereinbelow provided, (iii) except in
the case of an assignment to an Affiliate or Related Fund of the assigning Lender, to another
Lender or of the entire remaining Commitment of the assigning Lender, the assignment shall not
assign a share of the Commitment that is equivalent to less than $5,000,000, (iv) the assignment
shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the Assignor’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement, and (v) the effective date of any such assignment shall be as specified in
the Commitments Assignment and Acceptance, but not earlier than the date which is five (5) Banking
Days after the date the Administrative Agent has received the Commitments Assignment and Acceptance
unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative Agent. Upon the effective date of such Commitments
Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee named therein shall be a Lender for all purposes
of this Agreement, with a Percentage and Commitment amount as therein (and herein, if such Eligible
Assignee was already a Lender) set forth and, to the

- 59 -

 

extent of the portion of the Commitment assigned, the assigning Lender shall be released from
its further obligations under this Agreement. Borrower agrees that it shall execute and deliver to
such assignee Lender, Notes evidencing that assignee Lender’s Commitment, and to the assigning
Lender, Notes evidencing the remaining balance of such Lender’s Commitment.

          (c) By executing and delivering a Commitments Assignment and Acceptance, the Eligible Assignee
thereunder acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Administrative Agent has not made any
representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect to any statements, warranties
or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement or the execution, legality,
validity, enforceability, genuineness or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document;
(ii) the Administrative Agent has not made any representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Loan Parties or the performance by
the Loan Parties of the Obligations; (iii) it has received a copy of this Agreement, together with
copies of the most recent financial statements delivered pursuant to Section 7.1 and such
other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into such Commitments Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any 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 this Agreement; (v) it appoints and authorizes the Administrative
Agent to take such action and to exercise such powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent by this Agreement; and (vi) it will perform in accordance with their terms all
of the obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a
Lender.

          (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy of
each Commitments Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register (the “Register”) of the
names and address of each of the Lenders and the Percentage and Commitment amount held by each
Lender, giving effect to each Commitments Assignment and Acceptance. The Register shall be
available during normal business hours for inspection by Borrower or any Lender upon reasonable
prior notice to the Administrative Agent. After receipt of a completed Commitments Assignment and
Acceptance executed by any Lender and an Eligible Assignee and the Notes subject to such
assignment, and receipt of an assignment fee of $3,500 from such Lender or Eligible Assignee (which
fee shall be imposed only once with respect to simultaneous transfers on a single day to different
Affiliates or Related Funds of such Lender), the Administrative Agent shall, promptly following the
effective date thereof, upon the request of any party, provide to Borrower and the Lenders a
revised Schedule 1.1 giving effect thereto. Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the Register as the holders and
owners of the Commitments listed therein for all purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of
any such Commitment shall be effective, in each case unless and until a Commitments Assignment and
Acceptance effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been accepted by the
Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided above. Prior to such recordation,
all amounts owed with respect to the applicable Commitment shall be owed to the Lender listed in
the Register as the owner thereof, and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the
time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed in the Register as a
Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, assignee or transferee of such
Commitment.

- 60 -

 

          (e) Each Lender may from time to time grant participations to one or more banks or other
financial institutions (including another Lender but excluding an Employee Plan) in a portion of
its Commitment; provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall
remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for
the performance of such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other financial institutions
shall not be a Lender hereunder for any purpose except, if the participation agreement so provides,
for the purposes of Sections 3.7, 3.8, 11.11 and 11.22 but only to
the extent that the cost of such benefits to Borrower does not exceed the cost which Borrower would
have incurred absent the participation, (iv) Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other
Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such
Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, (v) the participation interest shall be
expressed as a percentage of the granting Lender’s Commitment as it then exists and shall not
afford such participant any rights or privileges under the Loan Documents except as provided in
clause (iii) above.

     11.9 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Administrative Agent or any Lender (but in each case only with the consent of the Requisite Lenders
and subject to the provisions of Section 11.10) may exercise its rights under Article
9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and other applicable Laws and, to the extent permitted by
applicable Laws, apply any funds in any deposit account maintained with it by Borrower and/or any
Property of Borrower in its possession against the Obligations. any and all rights to require
administrative agent or any bank to exercise its rights or remedies with respect to any other
collateral which secures the loan (if any), prior to exercising its right of setoff with respect to
such deposits, credits, or other property of borrowers, are hereby, knowingly, voluntarily, and
irrevocably waived.

     11.10 Sharing of Setoffs. Each Lender severally agrees that if it, through the
exercise of any right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim against Borrower, or otherwise,
receives payment of the Obligations held by it that is ratably more than any other Lender, through
any means, receives in payment of the Obligations held by that Lender, then, subject to applicable
Laws: (a) the Lender exercising the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or otherwise
receiving such payment shall purchase, and shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased, from
each of the other Lenders a participation in the Obligations held by the other Lenders and shall
pay to the other Lenders a purchase price in an amount so that the share of the Obligations held by
each Lender after the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or receipt of
payment shall be in the same proportion that existed prior to the exercise of the right of setoff,
banker’s lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment; and (b) such other adjustments and purchases
of participations shall be made from time to time as shall be equitable to ensure that all of the
Lenders share any payment obtained in respect of the Obligations ratably in accordance with each
Lender’s share of the Obligations immediately prior to, and without taking into account, the
payment; provided that, if all or any portion of a disproportionate payment obtained as a result of
the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or otherwise is thereafter
recovered from the purchasing Lender by Borrower or any Person claiming through or succeeding to
the rights of Borrower, the purchase of a participation shall be rescinded and the purchase price
thereof shall be restored to the extent of the recovery, but without interest (unless the Lender
from which such payment is recovered is required to pay interest thereon, in which case each Lender
returning funds to such Lender shall pay its pro rata share of such interest). Each Lender that
purchases a participation in the Obligations pursuant

- 61 -

 

to this Section 11.10 shall from and after the purchase have the right to give all
notices, requests, demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect
to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the purchasing Lender were
the original owner of the Obligations purchased. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing
arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in an Obligation so purchased
pursuant to this Section 11.10 may exercise any and all rights of setoff, banker’s lien or
counterclaim with respect to the participation as fully as if the Lender were the original owner of
the Obligation purchased.

     11.11 Indemnity by Borrower. Borrower agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless the
Administrative Agent and Lead Arranger and each Lender and their respective directors, officers,
agents, attorneys and employees (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from and against: (a) any and all
claims, demands, actions or causes of action (except a claim, demand, action, or cause of action
for any amount excluded from the definition of “Taxes” in Section 3.9(d)) if the claim,
demand, action or cause of action arises out of or relates to any act or omission (or alleged act
or omission) of Borrower, the other members of the Consolidated Group or any of their officers,
directors or stockholders relating to the Commitments, the use or contemplated use of proceeds of
any Loan, or the relationship of Borrower and the Lenders under this Agreement; (b) any
administrative or investigative proceeding by any Governmental Agency arising out of or related to
a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in clause (a) above; and (c) any and all
liabilities, losses, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and the reasonably
allocated costs of attorneys employed by any Indemnitee and disbursements of such attorneys and
other professional services) that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of
any foregoing claim, demand, action or cause of action; provided that no Indemnitee shall be
entitled to indemnification for any loss caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct
or for any loss asserted against it by another Indemnitee. If any claim, demand, action or cause
of action is asserted against any Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify Borrower, but
the failure to so promptly notify Borrower shall not affect Borrower’s obligations under this
Section unless such failure materially prejudices Borrower’s right to participate in the contest of
such claim, demand, action or cause of action, as hereinafter provided. Such Indemnitee may (and
shall, if requested by Borrower in writing) contest the validity, applicability and amount of such
claim, demand, action or cause of action and shall permit Borrower to participate in such contest.
Any Indemnitee that proposes to settle or compromise any claim or proceeding for which Borrower may
be liable for payment of indemnity hereunder shall give Borrower written notice of the terms of
such proposed settlement or compromise reasonably in advance of settling or compromising such claim
or proceeding and shall obtain Borrower’s prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed). In connection with any claim, demand, action or cause of action covered by
this Section 11.11 against more than one Indemnitee, all such Indemnitees shall be
represented by the same legal counsel (which may be a law firm engaged by the Indemnitees or
attorneys employed by an Indemnitee or a combination of the foregoing) selected by the Indemnitees
and reasonably acceptable to Borrower; provided, that if such legal counsel determines in good
faith that representing all such Indemnitees would or could result in a conflict of interest under
Laws or ethical principles applicable to such legal counsel or that a defense or counterclaim is
available to an Indemnitee that is not available to all such Indemnitees, then to the extent
reasonably necessary to avoid such a conflict of interest or to permit unqualified assertion of
such a defense or counterclaim, each affected Indemnitee shall be entitled to separate
representation by legal counsel selected by that Indemnitee and reasonably acceptable to Borrower,
with all such legal counsel using reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary

- 62 -

 

duplication of effort by counsel for all Indemnitees; and further provided that the
Administrative Agent (as an Indemnitee) shall at all times be entitled to representation by
separate legal counsel (which may be a law firm or attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent
or a combination of the foregoing). Any obligation or liability of Borrower to any Indemnitee
under this Section 11.11 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and
the repayment of all Loans and the payment and performance of all other Obligations owed to the
Lenders.

     11.12 Nonliability of the Lenders. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that:

          (a) Any inspections of any Property of Borrower or any other Loan Party made by or through the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders are for purposes of administration of the Loan only and
Borrower and such other Loan Parties are not entitled to rely upon the same (whether or not such
inspections are at the expense of Borrower);

          (b) By accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, fulfilled or given
to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents, neither the
Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed to have warranted or represented the
sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal effect of the same, or of any term, provision or
condition thereof, and such acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or
representation to anyone with respect thereto by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders;

          (c) The relationship between Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders is, and
shall at all times remain, solely that of borrowers and lenders; neither the Administrative Agent
nor the Lenders shall under any circumstance be construed to be partners or joint venturers of
Borrower or any other member of the Consolidated Group, neither the Administrative Agent nor the
Lenders shall under any circumstance be deemed to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a
fiduciary relationship with Borrower or any other member of the Consolidated Group, or to owe any
fiduciary duty to Borrower or any other member of the Consolidated Group; neither the
Administrative Agent nor the Lenders undertake or assume any responsibility or duty to Borrower or
any other member of the Consolidated Group, to select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment
upon or inform Borrower or any other member of the Consolidated Group, of any matter in connection
with their Property or the operations of Borrower or any other member of the Consolidated Group;
Borrower and such other members shall rely entirely upon their own judgment with respect to such
matters; and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply of information
undertaken or assumed by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in connection with such matters is
solely for the protection of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and neither Borrower nor any
other Person is entitled to rely thereon; and

          (d) The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be responsible or liable to any Person
for any loss, damage, liability or claim of any kind relating to injury or death to Persons or
damage to Property caused by the actions, inaction or negligence of Borrower and/or any other
member of the Consolidated Group, and Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders harmless on the terms set forth in Section 11.11 from any such loss,
damage, liability or claim.

- 63 -

 

     11.13 No Third Parties Benefited. This Agreement is made for the purpose of defining
and setting forth certain obligations, rights and duties of Borrower, the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders in connection with the Loans, and is made for the sole benefit of Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Administrative Agent’s and the Lenders’ successors
and assigns. Except as provided in Sections 11.8, 11.11 and 11.22 no other
Person shall have any rights of any nature hereunder or by reason hereof.

     11.14 Confidentiality.

          (a) Confidentiality. Each Lender and the Administrative Agent (each, a “Lender
Party”) hereby agrees for itself only that, except as specifically set forth herein, such Lender
Party (i) shall not participate in or generate any press release or other release of information to
the general public relating to the closing of the Loan without the prior written consent of
Borrower, (ii) shall hold the Confidential Information in strict confidence in accordance with such
Lender Party’s customary procedures to prevent the misuse or disclosure of confidential information
of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices, (iii) shall use the
Confidential Information solely for the purposes of underwriting the Loan or acquiring an interest
therein, carrying out such Lender Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement, in connection
with the syndication of the Loan, the enforcement of the Loan Documents, or other internal
examination, supervision or oversight of the transactions contemplated hereby as reasonably
determined by such Lender Party, or as otherwise permitted by the terms of this Section
11.14 (collectively, “Permitted Purposes”), and (iv) shall not disclose the Confidential
Information to any third party, except as expressly authorized in this Agreement or with prior
written consent of Borrower. Each Lender Party shall promptly notify Borrower in the event that it
becomes aware of any loss or unauthorized disclosure of any Confidential Information.

Each Lender Party shall not have any obligations under this Agreement with respect to a specific
portion of the Confidential Information if such Lender Party can demonstrate that such Confidential
Information (i) was publicly available at the time it was disclosed to such Lender Party, (ii)
became publicly available subsequent to the time it was disclosed to such Lender Party (except to
the extent such public availability was the result of such Lender Party’s disclosure), (iii) was in
or came into a Lender Party’s possession from a source not known to such Lender Party (after
reasonable inquiry) to be in breach of an obligation of confidentiality owed to Borrower in making
such disclosure to such Lender Party, (iv) was in or comes into Lender Party’s possession free of
any obligation of confidence owed to Borrower at the time it was disclosed to such Lender Party, or
(v) was developed by the employees or agents of the Lender Party without the use of the
Confidential Information.

          (b) Disclosures. Any Lender Party or its legal counsel may disclose the Confidential
Information (i) to Borrower, other Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective
legal counsel, (ii) to its auditors in connection with bank audits or regulatory officials having
jurisdiction over such Lender Party, (iii) to its legal counsel who need to know the Confidential
Information for the purposes of representing or advising the Lender Parties, (iv) to its
consultants, agents and advisors retained in good faith by such Lender Party with a need to know
such information in connection with a Permitted Purpose or to otherwise advise or consult with such
Lender Party, (v) as required by Law or legal process (subject to the terms below), or in
connection

- 64 -

 

with any legal proceeding to which that Lender Party and any Loan Party are adverse parties
(and Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that pursuant to the requirements of the USA Patriot
Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26, 2001) (the “Act”), each Lender is
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan Parties, which
information includes the name and address of the Loan Parties and other information that will allow
such Lender to identify the Loan Parties in accordance with the Act), (vi) to another potential
Lender or participant in connection with an assignment or proposed assignment to that Person of all
or part of that Lender Party’s interests hereunder or a participation interest in its Notes, and
(vii) to its directors, officers, employees and Affiliates who need to know the Confidential
Information for purposes of underwriting the Loan or becoming a party to this Agreement, the
syndication of the Loan, the administration, interpretation, performance or exercise of rights
under the Loan Documents, the enforcement of the Loan Documents, or other internal supervision,
examination or oversight of the transactions contemplated hereby as reasonably determined by such
Lender Party, provided that any Person to whom any of the Confidential Information is
disclosed is informed by such Lender Party of the strictly confidential nature of the Confidential
Information, and such Persons described in clauses (b)(iv) and (vi) shall agree in
writing to be bound by confidentiality restrictions at least as restrictive as those contained
herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender Party may disclose Confidential Information to the
extent such Lender Party is requested or required by any Law or any order of any Governmental
Agency or self regulatory body or other legal process to make any disclosure of or about any of the
Confidential Information. In such event (except with respect to banking regulators or auditors),
such Lender Party shall, if permitted by Law, promptly notify Borrower in writing so that Borrower
may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement
(provided that if a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder has not been
obtained, or if prior notice is not possible, and a Lender Party is, in the opinion of its counsel,
compelled to disclose Confidential Information, such Lender Party may disclose that portion of the
Confidential Information which its counsel advises it that such Lender Party is compelled to
disclose, and provided further that in any event, such Lender Party will not oppose action
by Borrower to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential
treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information.) Each Lender Party shall be liable (but
only to the extent it is finally determined to have breached the
provisions of this Section
11.14(b)) for any actions by such Lender Party (but not any other Person) which are not in
accordance with the provisions of this
Section 11.14(b).

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Confidential Information shall not include, and
Administrative Agent and each Lender may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any
kind, any information with respect to the “tax treatment” and “tax structure” (in each case, within
the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011 4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and
all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to the
Administrative Agent or any Lender relating to such tax treatment and tax structure; provided that
with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains information concerning
the tax treatment or tax structure of the transaction as well as other information, this sentence
shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that relate to the tax treatment
or tax structure of the Loans, and transactions contemplated hereby.

          (c) No Rights in Confidential Information. The Administrative Agent and each Lender
recognizes and agrees that nothing contained in this Section 11.14 shall be construed as

- 65 -

 

granting any property rights, by license or otherwise, to any Confidential Information (other
than the Agreement or any amendments thereto or any related agreements), or to any invention or any
patent, copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right that has issued or that may
issue, based on such Confidential Information (other than the Agreement or any amendments thereto
or any related agreements). No Lender Party shall make, have made, use or sell for any purpose any
product or other item using, incorporating or derived from any such Confidential Information;
provided that the foregoing shall not limit or restrict in any way the creation, use or
sale of banking or related services by any Lender Party.

          (d) Survival. All Confidential Information provided by or on behalf of Borrower
during the term of this Agreement or any predecessor agreements shall remain confidential
indefinitely and shall continue to receive that level of confidential treatment customarily
provided by commercial banks dealing with confidential information of their borrower customers,
subject, however, to the specific exceptions to confidential treatment provided herein. For a
period of one year after the Termination Date, the affected Lender Party shall continue to make
reasonable inquiry of any third party providing Confidential Information as to whether such third
party is subject to an obligation of confidentiality owed to Borrower or its Subsidiaries and if
such Lender Party obtains knowledge that such third party is violating a confidentiality agreement
with Borrower, such Lender Party shall treat the Confidential Information received from such third
party as strictly confidential in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.14.
For purposes of this Section 11.14(d), the “Termination Date” shall mean the earlier of the
termination of this Agreement or, with respect to a specific Lender Party, the date such Person no
longer holds an interest in the Loan.

          (e) Injunctive Relief. Each Lender Party hereby agrees that breach of this
Section 11.14 will cause Borrower irreparable damage for which recovery of damages would be
inadequate, and that Borrower shall therefore be entitled to obtain timely injunctive relief under
this Agreement, as well as such further relief as may be granted by a court of competent
jurisdiction.

          (f) No Fiduciary Duty. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to create or give
rise to any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to Borrower.

          (g) Separate Action. Borrower covenants and agrees not to, and hereby expressly
waives any right to, raise as a defense, affirmative defense, setoff, recoupment or otherwise
against any Lender Party any claim arising from or relating to an alleged breach of this
Section 11.14 in any action, claim or proceeding relating to a breach of the Loan Documents
by Borrower or other action to enforce or recover the Obligations, and covenant and agree that any
claim against a Lender Party arising from or relating to an alleged breach of this Section
11.14 by a Lender Party shall only be asserted as an affirmative claim in a separate action
against the applicable Lender Party.

     11.15 Further Assurances. Borrower shall, at its expense and without expense to the
Lenders or the Administrative Agent, do, execute and deliver such further acts and documents as the
Requisite Lenders or the Administrative Agent from time to time reasonably require for the assuring
and confirming unto the Lenders or the Administrative Agent of the rights hereby created or
intended now or hereafter so to be, or for carrying out the intention or facilitating the
performance of the terms of any Loan Document.

- 66 -

 

     11.16 Integration. This Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises
the complete and integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and supersedes
all prior agreements, written or oral, on the subject matter hereof. In the event of any conflict
between the provisions of this Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of
this Agreement shall control and govern; provided that the inclusion of supplemental rights
or remedies in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall
not be deemed a conflict with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint
participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither against nor in favor
of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair meaning thereof.

     11.17 Governing Law. Except to the extent otherwise provided therein, each Loan
Document shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the State
of New York without any regard to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application
of any Law other than the Laws of the State of New York.

     11.18 Severability of Provisions. Any provision in any Loan Document that is held to
be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid as to any party or in any jurisdiction shall, as to that
party or jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid without affecting the remaining
provisions or the operation, enforceability or validity of that provision as to any other party or
in any other jurisdiction, and to this end the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be
severable.

     11.19 Headings. Article and Section headings in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents are included for convenience of reference only and are not part of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents for any other purpose.

     11.20 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents.

     11.21 Delivery of Tax Forms. Each Lender that is incorporated or otherwise organized
under the Laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States of America or any State thereof or
the District of Columbia shall deliver to Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), on or
before the Closing Date (or on or before accepting an assignment or receiving a participation
interest herein pursuant to Section 11.8, if applicable) two duly completed copies, signed
by a Responsible Official, of either Form W-8BEN (relating to such Lender and entitling it to a
complete exemption from withholding on all payments to be made to such Lender by Borrower pursuant
to this Agreement) or Form W-8ECI (relating to all payments to be made to such Lender by Borrower
pursuant to this Agreement), or W-8IMY, as applicable, of the United States of America Internal
Revenue Service or such other evidence satisfactory to Borrower and the Administrative Agent that
no withholding under the federal income tax laws is required with respect to such Lender. If a
Lender is claiming a “portfolio interest exemption,” such Lender shall, in addition to Form W-8BEN,
provide a certificate signed by a Responsible Official to the effect that (i) such Lender is not a
bank within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code, (ii) such Lender is not a 10%
shareholder of Borrower, and (iii) such Lender is not related to Borrower within the meaning of
Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code. Thereafter and from time to time, including before the
expiration of any previously delivered form, each such Lender shall (a) promptly submit to Borrower
(with a copy to the Administrative Agent), such additional duly completed and signed copies of one
of such forms (or such successor forms as shall be adopted from time to time by the relevant United
States of America taxing authorities) as may then be required under then current United States of
America

- 67 -

 

Laws and regulations to avoid, or such evidence as is satisfactory to Borrower and the
Administrative Agent of any available exemption from, United States of America withholding taxes in
respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement and (b)
take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable judgment of
such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re designation of its LIBOR Lending
Office, if any) to avoid any applicable deduction or withholding for taxes from amounts payable to
such Lender. In the event that Borrower or the Administrative Agent become aware that a
participation has been granted pursuant to Section 11.8(e) to a financial institution that
is incorporated or otherwise organized under the Laws of a jurisdiction other than the United
States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, then, upon request made by
Borrower or the Administrative Agent to the Lender which granted such participation, such Lender
shall cause such participant financial institution to deliver the same documents and information to
Borrower and the Administrative Agent as would be required under this Section if such financial
institution were a Lender. Each Lender that is a United States of America Person shall, upon the
reasonable request of Borrower, deliver Form W-9 on or before the Closing Date (or on or before
accepting an assignment or receiving a participation pursuant to Section 11.8, if
applicable) and before the expiration of a previously delivered form.

     11.22 Hazardous Material Indemnity. Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify, hold
harmless and defend (by counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) the
Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders and their respective directors, officers, employees,
agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities,
fines, penalties, charges, administrative and judicial proceedings and orders, judgments, remedial
action requirements, enforcement actions of any kind, and all costs and expenses incurred in
connection therewith (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees and the reasonably
allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, and expenses to
the extent that the defense of any such action has not been assumed by Borrower), arising directly
or indirectly out of (i) the presence on, in, under or about any Projects of any Hazardous
Materials, or any releases or discharges of any Hazardous Materials on, under or from any Projects
and (ii) any activity carried on or undertaken on or off any Projects by Borrower or any Loan Party
or any of their predecessors in title, whether prior to or during the term of this Agreement, and
whether by Borrower or any predecessor in title or any employees, agents, contractors or
subcontractors thereof, or any third persons at any time occupying or present on any Project, in
connection with the handling, treatment, removal, storage, decontamination, clean up, transport or
disposal of any Hazardous Materials at any time located or present on, in, under or about any
Project. The foregoing indemnity shall further apply to any residual contamination on, in, under
or about any Project, or affecting any natural resources, and to any contamination of any Project
or natural resources arising in connection with the generation, use, handling, storage, transport
or disposal of any such Hazardous Materials, and irrespective of whether any of such activities
were or will be undertaken in accordance with applicable Laws, but the foregoing indemnity shall
not apply to Hazardous Materials on any Project, the presence of which is caused by the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders. Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that, notwithstanding
any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the
obligations of Borrower under this Section (and under Sections 4.17 and 5.10) shall
be unlimited corporate obligations of Borrower and shall not be secured by any Lien on any Project.
Any obligation or liability of Borrower to any Indemnitee under this Section 11.22 shall
survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the

- 68 -

 

repayment of all Loans and the payment and performance of all other Obligations owed to the
Lenders.

     11.23 [Intentionally Omitted].

     11.24 Removal of a Lender. Borrower shall have the right to remove a Lender as a
party to this Agreement if (a) such Lender is paid a material amount by Borrower pursuant to
Section 3.4 or Section 3.5, (b) any of the events described in Section
9.1(k) occurs with respect to such Lender, or (c) such Lender becomes (and at the time of the
proposed removal hereunder remains) a Defaulting Lender hereunder. Upon notice from Borrower, such
Lender shall execute and deliver a Commitments Assignment and Acceptance covering that Lender’s
Percentage of the Commitments in favor of such Eligible Assignee as Borrower may designate with the
approval of the Administrative Agent, subject to payment in full by such Eligible Assignee of all
principal, interest and fees and any other amount owing to such Lender through the date of
assignment. The removal of any Defaulting Lender pursuant to this Section 11.24 shall not
preclude Borrower from pursuing all remedies available to it against such Defaulting Lender for
damages arising out of such Defaulting Lender’s breach hereof.

     11.25 Waiver Of Right To Trial By Jury. Each party to this
agreement hereby expressly waives any right to trial by jury of any claim, demand, action or cause
of action arising under any loan document or in any way connected with or related or incidental to
the dealings of the parties hereto or any of them with respect to any loan document, or the
transactions related thereto, in each case whether now existing or hereafter arising, and whether
sounding in contract or tort or otherwise; and each party hereby agrees and consents that any such
claim, demand, action or cause of action shall be decided by court trial without a jury, and that
any party to this agreement may file an original counterpart or a copy of this section with any
court as written evidence of the consent of the signatories hereto to the waiver of their right to
trial by jury.

     11.26 Purported Oral Amendments. Borrower expressly
acknowledges that this agreement and the other loan documents may only be amended or modified, or
the provisions hereof or thereof waived or supplemented, by an instrument in writing that complies
with section 12.1. Borrower agrees that it will not rely on any course of dealing, course
of performance, or oral or written statements by any representative of the administrative agent or
any bank that does not comply with section 12.1 to effect an amendment, modification,
waiver or supplement to this agreement or the other loan documents.

     11.27 Replacement of Notes. Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to
Borrower of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note, and in the case of any such
loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to
Borrower or, in the case of any such mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of the applicable
Note, Borrower will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a replacement Note, identical in form and
substance to the applicable Note and dated as of the date of the applicable Note and upon such
execution and delivery all references in the Loan Documents to such Note shall be deemed to refer
to such replacement Note.

- 69 -

 

     11.28 Defaulting Lenders. In the event that any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender,
then, in addition to any rights and remedies that may be available to Borrower or the other Lenders
and the Administrative Agent (such other Lenders and the Administrative Agent being called “Non
Defaulting Lenders”) at Law or in equity:

          (a) The Defaulting Lender’s rights to participate in the administration of the Loan and the
Loan Documents, including any right to vote upon, approve, disapprove, consent to or direct any
action of the Administrative Agent (other than amendments to the Loan Documents directly affecting
the Defaulting Lender’s Commitment), shall be suspended and such rights shall not be reinstated
unless and until such Lender ceases to be a Defaulting Lender (and all decisions, except the
decision to remove the Administrative Agent, which are to be based on a vote of the Requisite
Lenders or all Lenders shall be resolved based upon a decision or determination made by the
required percentage of the Non-Defaulting Lenders); provided, however, that if the Administrative
Agent is a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent shall continue to have all rights provided
for in this Loan Agreement, as the Administrative Agent only, with respect to the administration of
the Loan unless it is removed and replaced as the Administrative Agent as provided in Section
10.8.

          (b) Any or all of the Non-Defaulting Lenders shall be entitled (but shall not be obligated)
to: (i) fund the aggregate amount that the Defaulting Lender has failed to fund or pay to the
Administrative Agent (such amount being called the “Defaulted Amount”); and (ii) collect interest
at the Default Rate on the Defaulted Amount (after crediting all interest actually paid by Borrower
on the Defaulted Amount from time to time), either directly from the Defaulting Lender or from
amounts otherwise payable to the Defaulting Lender, for the period from the date on which the
Defaulted Amount was funded by the Non-Defaulting Lenders until the date on which payment is made.
If the Administrative Agent has funded the Defaulted Amount, the Administrative Agent shall be
entitled to collect interest at the Default Rate from the Defaulting Lender on the Defaulted Amount
as set forth above, as if the Administrative Agent were a Non-Defaulting Lender that had elected to
fund the Defaulted Amount.

          (c) In the event the Defaulted Amount is funded by any Non-Defaulting Lenders or the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 11.28(b) above, the Defaulting Lender’s interest
in the Loans, the Loan Documents and proceeds thereof shall be subordinated to any Defaulted Amount
funded by any Non-Defaulting Lenders or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section
11.28(b) above, plus all interest which may be due in accordance with Section 11.28(b)
above (to be applied pari passu among the Non-Defaulting Lenders (including the Administrative
Agent, unless the Administrative Agent is the Defaulting Lender) funding the Defaulted Amount),
without necessity for executing any further documents; provided that such Defaulting Lender’s
interest in the Loan, the Loan Documents and the proceeds thereof shall no longer be so
subordinated if the Defaulted Amount funded by the Non-Defaulting Lenders or the Administrative
Agent (and all interest which has accrued pursuant to Section 11.28(b) above) shall be
repaid in full.

          (d) If, following the payment in full of all amounts due pursuant to Section 11.28(c)
above to the Non-Defaulting Lenders (including the Administrative Agent, unless the Administrative
Agent is the Defaulting Lender) which have funded all or any portion of any Defaulted Amount, there
remains any unfunded Defaulted Amount which has not been funded by

- 70 -

 

the Non-Defaulting Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Defaulting Lender (“Unfunded
Defaulted Amount”), then a portion of the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loan, the Loan
Documents and the proceeds thereof equal to the amount of the Unfunded Defaulted Amount (together
with interest thereon at the rate applicable to the Defaulted Amount from time to time pursuant to
the Loan Documents) shall be subordinated to the interests of the Non-Defaulting Lenders
(including the Administrative Agent, unless the Administrative Agent is the Defaulting Lender)
unless and until such Unfunded Defaulted Amount is funded either by one or more Non -Defaulting
Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Defaulting Lender.

          (e) Subject to the provisions of Section 11.8 and the definition of Eligible Assignee,
each Non-Defaulting Lender will have the right, but not the obligation, in its sole discretion, to
acquire at par all or a proportionate share (based on the ratio of its Commitment to the aggregate
amount of the Commitments of all of the Non-Defaulting Lenders that elect to acquire a share of the
Defaulting Lender’s Commitment) of the Defaulting Lender’s Commitment, including without limitation
its proportionate share in the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, and all rights and
interests of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

          (f) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or construed to waive, diminish, limit, prevent
or estop the Administrative Agent, Borrower or any Lender from exercising or enforcing any rights
or remedies which may be available at law or in equity as a result of or in connection with any
default under this Agreement by a Lender (including the right to bring suit against the Defaulting
Lender to recover the Defaulted Amount and interest thereon at the rate provided in this
Section 11.28).

ARTICLE 12

Exhibit 10.2

NOTE

			
	 	 	 
	$150,000,000.00
	 	May 24, 2006
	 	 	 

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, BIOMED REALTY, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership (“Borrower”), promises
to pay to the order of KeyBank National Association (“Bank”) the principal amount of One Hundred
Fifty Million and 00/100 Dollars ($150,000,000.00), or such lesser aggregate amount of Advances as
may be made and outstanding pursuant to Lender’s Commitment under the Loan Agreement hereinafter
described, payable as hereinafter set forth. Borrower promises to pay interest on the principal
amount hereof remaining unpaid from time to time from the date hereof until the date of payment in
full, payable as hereinafter set forth.

     Reference is made to the Secured Bridge Loan Agreement of even date hereof among Borrower,
Administrative Agent and the Banks (as it may have been or may hereafter be amended, amended and
restated, modified, supplemented or renewed from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”). Terms
defined in the Loan Agreement and not otherwise defined herein are used herein with the meanings
ascribed to those terms in the Loan Agreement. This is one of the Notes referred to in the Loan
Agreement, and any holder hereof is entitled to all of the rights, remedies, benefits and
privileges provided for in the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement, among other things, contains
provisions for acceleration of the maturity hereof upon the happening of certain stated events upon
the terms and conditions therein specified.

     The principal indebtedness evidenced by this Note shall be payable and prepayable as provided
in the Loan Agreement and in any event on the Maturity Date (which shall be August 23, 2006,
subject to extension as provided in Section 2.5 of the Loan Agreement).

     Interest shall be payable on the outstanding daily unpaid principal amount of each Advance
outstanding hereunder from the date such Advance was made until payment in full, and shall accrue
and be payable at the rates and on the dates set forth in the Loan Agreement both before and after
default and before and after maturity and judgment.

     The amount of each payment hereunder shall be made to Bank at Administrative Agent’s office
(as designated by Administrative Agent from time to time), for the account of Bank, in Dollars and
in immediately available funds not later than 2:00 p.m., Cleveland time, on the day of payment
(which must be a Banking Day). All payments received after 2:00 p.m., Cleveland time, on any
Banking Day, shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Banking Day. Bank shall keep a record
of Advances made by it and payments of principal with respect to this Note, and such record shall
be presumptive evidence of the principal amount owing under this Note, absent manifest error.

     Without limiting any applicable provisions of the Loan Agreement, Borrower hereby promises to
pay all costs and expenses of any holder hereof incurred in collecting Borrower’s obligations
hereunder or in enforcing or attempting to enforce any of holder’s rights hereunder, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees, whether or not an action is filed in connection therewith.

     Borrower hereby waives presentment, demand for payment, dishonor, notice of dishonor, protest,
notice of protest, and any other notice or formality, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
Laws.

     Assignment of this Note is subject to the consent of certain parties pursuant to Section 11.8
of the Loan Agreement.

 

 

     This Note shall be delivered to and accepted by Bank in the State of New York, and shall be
governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the internal Laws thereof without
regard to the choice of law provisions thereof.

	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	“Borrower”
	 
	 	 	 	 
	 	 	BIOMED REALTY, L.P., a Maryland limited partnership
	 
	 	 	 	 
	 

	 	By:
	 	BioMed Realty Trust, Inc., its sole general partner
