Borrower’s equity interests.

Section 2.2 Interest Rate.

2.2.1 Interest Rate. Subject to Section 2.2.4 hereof, interest on the
Outstanding Principal Balance shall accrue from the Closing Date to but excluding the Maturity Date
at the Interest Rate.

2.2.2 Interest Calculation. With respect to any applicable period, interest on the
Outstanding Principal Balance shall be calculated by multiplying (a) the actual number of days
elapsed in the period for which the calculation is being made by (b) a daily rate based on a three
hundred sixty (360) day year by (c) the average Outstanding Principal Balance in effect for the
applicable period as calculated by Lender.

2.2.3 Default Rate. In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Outstanding Principal Balance and, to the extent permitted by

27

 

2.2.4 Usury Savings. It is agreed that this Agreement, the Note, the other Loan
Documents and all other agreements and communications between Borrower and Lender are hereby and
shall automatically be limited so that, after taking into account all amounts deemed interest, the
interest contracted for, charged or received by Lender shall never exceed the Maximum Legal Rate or
amount, (b) in calculating whether any interest exceeds the Maximum Legal Rate, all such interest
shall be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread over the full amount and term of all principal
indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, and (c) if through any contingency or event Lender receives or
is deemed to receive interest in excess of the Maximum Legal Rate, any such excess shall be deemed
to have been applied (without prepayment penalty or premium or any Yield Maintenance Premium)
toward payment of the Debt and Other Obligations of a monetary nature until the Debt and such Other
Obligations are paid in full, and within two (2) Business Days of such payment in full shall be
returned to Borrower. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to Lender for the use, forbearance, or
detention of the sums due under the Loan, shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
amortized, prorated, allocated, and spread throughout the full stated term of the Loan until
payment in full so that the rate or amount of interest on account of the Loan does not exceed the
Maximum Legal Rate of interest from time to time in effect and applicable to the Loan for so long
as the Loan is outstanding.

Section 2.3 Monthly Debt Service Payment.

2.3.1 Monthly Debt Service Payment. Borrower shall pay to Lender (a) on the date
hereof, an amount equal to interest only on the Outstanding Principal Balance for the period
commencing on the Closing Date up to but not including the first Payment Date following the Closing
Date (unless the Closing Date is the eleventh (11th) day of the month, in which case no such
interest only payment shall be due), which amount shall be applied on the first Payment Date to
interest which shall have accrued on the Outstanding Principal Balance during such period and (b)
on each Payment Date thereafter up to and including the Maturity Date, Borrower shall make a
payment to Lender of principal and interest in an amount equal to the Monthly Debt Service Payment
Amount, which payments shall be applied first to accrued and unpaid interest and the balance to
principal.

2.3.2 Payments Generally. The first interest accrual period hereunder shall commence
on and include the Closing Date and end on the first Payment Date. Each interest accrual period
thereafter shall commence on the eleventh (11th) day of each calendar month during the term of the
Loan and shall end on and include the tenth (10th) day of the next occurring calendar month. For
purposes of making payments hereunder, but not for purposes of calculating interest accrual
periods, if the day on which such payment is due is not a Business Day, then amounts due on such
date shall be due on the immediately preceding Business Day. All amounts due pursuant to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be payable without setoff, counterclaim, defense or
any other deduction whatsoever.

2.3.3 Payment on Maturity Date. Borrower shall pay to Lender on the Maturity Date the
Outstanding Principal Balance, all accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts due hereunder

28

 

2.3.4 Late Payment Charge. If any principal, interest or any other sums due under the
Loan Documents, including the payment of principal due on the Maturity Date, is not
paid by Borrower by the date on which it is due, Borrower shall pay to Lender upon demand an
amount equal to the lesser of (a) five percent (5%) of such unpaid sum, and (b) the maximum amount
permitted by applicable law, in order to defray the expense incurred by Lender in handling and
processing such delinquent payment and to compensate Lender for the loss of the use of such
delinquent payment. Any such amount shall be secured by the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan
Documents to the extent permitted by applicable law.

2.3.5 Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein,
all payments and prepayments under this Agreement and the Note shall be made to Lender not later
than 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the date when due and shall be made in lawful money of the
United States of America in immediately available funds at Lender’s office or as otherwise directed
by Lender, and any funds received by Lender after such time shall, for all purposes hereof, be
deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day. So long as no Event of Default has
occurred and continues to exist, any payments or prepayments to be made hereunder or under the Cash
Management Agreement by Mortgage Lender or Servicer (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) out
of deposits in any account governed by the Cash Management Agreement, shall be deemed to be timely
made, if there are adequate funds on deposit to cover such prepayment, for the purposes of this
Section 2.3.5.

Section 2.4 Prepayments.

2.4.1 Voluntary Prepayments. Except as otherwise provided herein, Borrower shall not
have the right to prepay the Loan in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date. On any Business
Day following the Lockout Period, Borrower may, at its option and upon not less than thirty (30)
days irrevocable prior written notice to Lender, prepay the Outstanding Principal Balance in whole
or in part and, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to Borrower
paying to Lender a prepayment premium equal to the Yield Maintenance Premium on the applicable
prepayment amount; provided, however, that no Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due if the Loan is
prepaid on or after October 12, 2014 (the “Open Date”). In addition, if any prepayment is made on
a day other than a Payment Date, Borrower shall also pay interest on the principal amount so
prepaid through, but not including, the next succeeding Payment Date. Any partial prepayment shall
be applied to the last payments of principal due under the Note and shall not in any event change
the Monthly Debt Service Payment Amount.

2.4.2 Liquidation Events.

(a) In the event of (i) any Casualty to all or any portion of the Properties, (ii) any
Condemnation of all or any portion of the Properties, or (iii) any claims made by any Mortgage
Borrower under the applicable Owner’s Title Policy (each, a “Liquidation Event”), Borrower shall
cause the related Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service to be paid to Lender. On the Payment
Date next following the date on which Lender actually receives a distribution of Net Liquidation
Proceeds After Debt Service, Borrower shall prepay the Outstanding Principal Balance in an amount
equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service. Any
amounts of Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service in excess of the Debt shall be paid first to
any Other Obligations of a monetary nature then outstanding which are owed to Lender, and any
balance disbursed to Borrower within 2 Business Days following all such payments to Lender. Any
prepayment received by Lender
pursuant to this Section 2.4.2 (a) on a date other than a Payment Date shall be held
by Lender as collateral security for the Loan, and shall be applied by Lender on the next Payment
Date. Other than following an Event of Default, no Yield Maintenance Premium shall be due in
connection with any prepayment made as a result of any events described in this Section
2.4.2(a).

 

29

 

(b) Borrower shall promptly notify Lender of any Liquidation Event once Borrower has knowledge
of such event. Borrower shall be deemed to have knowledge of (i) a sale (other than a foreclosure
sale) of any Property on the date on which a contract of sale for such sale is entered into, and a
foreclosure sale, on the date notice of such foreclosure sale is given, and (ii) a refinancing of
any Property, on the date on which a commitment for such refinancing has been entered into. The
provisions of this Section 2.4.2(b) shall not be construed to contravene in any manner the
restrictions and other provisions regarding refinancing or voluntary prepayment of the Mortgage
Loan or Transfer of any Property set forth in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the
Mortgage Loan Documents.

2.4.3 Prepayments Made While any Event of Default Exists. If after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, payment of all or any part of the Debt is tendered
by Borrower or otherwise recovered by Lender (including through application of any Reserve Funds),
such tender or recovery shall be deemed (a) to have been made on the next occurring Payment Date,
and (b) to be a voluntary prepayment by Borrower in violation of the prohibition against prepayment
set forth in Section 2.4.1 hereof, and Borrower shall pay, in addition to the Debt, an
amount equal to (A) if such prepayment amount is paid during the Lockout Period the aggregate of
(i) the Yield Maintenance Premium in respect of the Outstanding Principal Balance, or portion
thereof, being prepaid or satisfied, plus (ii) one percent (1%) of the principal amount being
repaid; and (B) if such prepayment amount is paid after the expiration of the Lockout Period, the
Yield Maintenance Premium in respect of the prepayment amount.

Section 2.5 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 2.6 Release of Collateral. Except as set forth in this Section 2.6,
no repayment or prepayment of all or any portion of the Note shall cause, give rise to a right to
require, or otherwise result in, the release of the Lien of the Pledge Agreement or the Collateral.

2.6.1 Partial Releases. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, in the event that Mortgage Borrowers desire to sell one or
more of the Properties (each such sale, a “Property Sale”), to a bona fide third party purchaser
who is not a Restricted Party or an Affiliate of a Restricted Party, Borrower shall have the right
after the Lockout Period and without violating the Loan Documents, to cause Mortgage Borrowers to
sell such Property or Properties and obtain a release (y) of such Property or Properties from the
Lien of the applicable Mortgage or Mortgages and the other Mortgage Loan Documents encumbering such
Property or Properties and (z) of Lender’s Lien upon the Collateral relating to the Mortgage
Borrower that owns the related Property, provided that, in the case where Mortgage Borrower owns
more than one Property, such release with respect to such membership interest shall not be
effective until such Mortgage Borrower shall no longer own any Properties subject to the Lien of a
Mortgage, in accordance with the applicable terms of this
Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Agreement, and provided, further, that all of the following
conditions shall be satisfied with respect to such Property Sale:

Property Sale which is the subject of a Sale Request actually closes;

 

31

 

(e) No Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of the
submission by Borrower and Mortgage Borrowers, as applicable, of the Sale Request or at the time of
the closing of any Property Sale;

Mortgage Borrower no longer owning any Property subject to a Lien securing the Mortgage Debt,
Lender shall return to Borrower the certificate of ownership of the equity interests in such
Mortgage Borrower. Upon the closing of any Property Sale, all references herein or in any of the
other Loan Documents to the term “Properties” shall be deemed to exclude the Property or Properties

Borrower, such Mortgage Borrower shall cease to be a “Mortgage Borrower” under the Note, this
Agreement or any other Loan Document and all references in the Note, this Agreement or any other
Loan Document to the term “Mortgage Borrower” or “Mortgage Borrowers” shall be deemed to exclude
such Mortgage Borrower. In addition, when such certificates evidencing such equity interests in a
Mortgage Borrower are required to be returned to Borrower pursuant to the first sentence of this

be deemed to include any Collateral or Pledged Company Interests solely relating to such Mortgaged
Borrower.

request of Borrower on or following such payment in full, Lender shall return all certificates of
ownership relating to each Mortgage Borrower which Lender has in its possession or control.

Section 2.7 Application of Payments of Principal. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Agreement, the following principal payments or prepayments shall be
allocated among the Loan and the Mortgage Loan as follows:

(a) so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any voluntary
prepayment by Borrower or Mortgage Borrowers shall be allocated by Lender or Mortgage Lender, as
the case may be, so that (x) a portion of any such prepayment shall be paid to, and applied by,
Mortgage Lender to the Mortgage Debt as a prepayment thereof (subject to the provisions set forth
in Section 2.4.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement) and (y) the remaining portion of such
prepayment, whether paid to Lender by Mortgage Lender in accordance with the requirements of
Section 2.6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement (which, when such monies are paid by Mortgage
Lender, shall be deemed to be a distribution permitted under applicable law) or by Borrower in
accordance with Section 2.4.1 hereof to Lender, shall be applied by Lender to the Debt as
prepayment thereof in accordance with Section 2.4.1 hereof, provided that (i) such
allocation of any such voluntary payments, as between Lender and Mortgage Lender, shall be made pro
rata in accordance with the respective Financing Percentages (as were in effect immediately prior
to such prepayment or payment of the Release Price, as the case may be) until the Mortgage Debt and
the Debt are paid in full, which Financing Percentages shall be calculated by Mortgage Lender as of
the time immediately prior to such prepayment; and (ii) in respect of the portion of any such
prepayment which is to be paid to Mortgage Lender, Mortgage

Borrowers shall be obligated to pay the
yield maintenance premium contemplated in Section 2.4.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Notwithstanding the forgoing provisions of this
clause (a) to the contrary, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a Mortgage
Loan Event of Default, Mortgage Lender is required to apply its share of any voluntary prepayment
made by Borrower or Mortgage Borrowers, in its election, to the payment of the obligations of a
monetary nature owed to Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents, or to the Obligations of
a monetary nature owed to Lender under the Loan Documents in any order, priority and proportions as
Mortgage Lender shall elect in its sole discretion from time to time, provided that at such time as
all Mortgage Debt and other obligations of a monetary nature owed to Mortgage Lender under the
Mortgage Loan Documents are paid in full, then any remainder of such voluntary prepayment shall be
paid to Lender, as a distribution permitted by applicable law, within two (2) Business Days
thereafter for application in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents if the Debt (or any
portion thereof) is then outstanding, until the Debt and Other Obligations are paid in full.
Within two (2) Business Days after the Debt and Other Obligations are paid in full, any remaining
balance of such voluntary prepayment shall be disbursed to Borrower. Any prepayments paid to
Lender following the application thereof by Mortgage Lender upon the occurrence of and during the
continuance of a Mortgage Loan Event of Default in accordance with the immediately preceding
sentence or Section 2.6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement shall be applied by Lender to the
prepayment of the Debt (subject to the applicable provisions of Section 2.4 hereof) or to
any other Obligations of a monetary nature owed to Lender in respect of the Loan in any order,
priority and proportions as Lender shall elect in its sole discretion from time to time;

(b) to the extent any portion of Net Proceeds shall be paid to Lender in accordance with the
requirements of Section 2.6.4(b) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, any such sums shall be

Section 2.4 hereof) or to any Other Obligations of a monetary nature owed to Lender in
respect of the Loan in any order, priority and proportions as Lender shall elect in its sole
discretion from time to time until all of the Debt and Other Obligations of a monetary nature owed
to Lender are paid in full, and then the balance disbursed to Borrower within two (2) Business Days
after the Debt and Other Obligations are paid in full;

(c) to the extent any Reserve Funds or other cash collateral held by or on behalf of Mortgage
Lender, whether in the Cash Management Account or otherwise, including, without limitation, any Net
Proceeds then being held by Mortgage Lender are paid to Lender in accordance with the requirements
of Section 2.6.4(c) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, any such sums shall be applied by
Lender to the prepayment of the Debt (subject to the applicable provisions of Section 2.4
hereof) or Other Obligations of a monetary nature, in any order, priority and proportions as Lender
shall elect in its sole discretion from time to time, until all Debt and Other Obligations of a
monetary nature owed to Lender are paid in full, and then the balance disbursed to Borrower within
two (2) Business Days after the Debt and Other Obligations are paid in full; and

(d) to extent any Rents received by Mortgage Lender are paid to Lender in accordance with the
requirements of Section 2.6.4(d) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, any such sums shall be
applied by Lender to the prepayment of the Debt (subject to the applicable provisions of
Section 2.4 hereof) or Other Obligations of a monetary nature in any order, priority and
proportions as Lender shall elect in its sole discretion from time to time, until all Debt and

and filing UCC-1 Financing Statements and continuations thereof. Borrower shall cause Mortgage
Borrowers and/or Manager to comply with the applicable provisions in the Mortgage Loan Agreement
relating to the Cash Management Account.

2.8.3 Mezzanine Loan Cash Management. In the event Mortgage Lender waives the
requirement of Mortgage Borrowers to maintain the Lockbox Account or the Cash Management Account or
in the event that the Mortgage Loan has been repaid in full, Lender shall have the right to require
Borrower to establish and maintain a cash management account that would operate in the same way as
the Lockbox Account and/or the Cash Management Account, provided that Lender has obtained written
consent from the Mortgage Lender in the event the Mortgage Loan is still outstanding.

ARTICLE 4

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

Section 4.1 Representations of Borrower. Borrower represents and warrants as of the
date hereof and as of the Closing Date that:

4.1.1 Organization. Borrower has been duly formed and is validly existing and in good
standing with requisite power and authority to own its properties and to transact the businesses in
which it is now engaged. Borrower is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction where it is required to be so qualified in connection with its properties, businesses
and operations. Borrower possesses all rights, licenses, permits and authorizations, governmental
or otherwise, necessary to entitle it to own its properties and to transact the businesses in which
it is now engaged, and the sole business of Borrower is the ownership and management of the
Mortgage Borrowers. The ownership interests of Borrower are as set forth on the organizational
chart attached hereto as Schedule IV. Borrower (a) has complied in all respects with its
certificate of formation and limited liability company operating agreement or limited partnership
agreement; (b) has maintained complete books and records and, except in connection with the Loan,
bank accounts separate from those of its Affiliates; (c) has obeyed all limited liability company
or limited partnership, as applicable, formalities required to maintain its status as, and at all
times has held itself out to the public as, a legal entity separate and distinct from any other
entity (including, but not limited to, any Affiliate thereof); and (d) has all requisite power and
authority to conduct its business and to own its property, as now conducted or owned, and as
contemplated by this Agreement. The signatory hereto on behalf of Borrower has all necessary
power, authority and legal right to execute this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents
on Borrower’s behalf to which Borrower is a party. The Guarantor has the necessary power,
authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Guaranty.

4.1.2 Proceedings. Borrower has taken all necessary action to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. This Agreement
and the other Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of Borrower and
constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable against Borrower in
accordance with their respective terms, subject only to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and
similar laws affecting rights of creditors generally, and
subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity (regardless of whether
enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law).

 

40

 

4.1.3 No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents by Borrower and/or Guarantor, as applicable, will not conflict with or result
in a breach of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the
creation or imposition of any Lien, charge or encumbrance (other than pursuant to the Loan
Documents) upon any of the property or assets of Borrower pursuant to the terms of any indenture,
any mortgage, deed of trust, loan agreement, partnership agreement, management agreement or other
agreement or instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which Borrower’s property or assets is
subject, nor will such action result in any violation of the provisions of any Legal Requirements
of any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Borrower or Borrower’s assets, and any
consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or with any such
Governmental Authority required for the execution, delivery and performance by Borrower and/or
Guarantor, as applicable, of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents has been obtained and are
in full force and effect.

4.1.4 Litigation. There are no actions, suits or proceedings at law or in equity by
or before any Governmental Authority or other agency now pending or threatened against or affecting
Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor or, to Borrower’s actual knowledge, any Property, which
actions, suits or proceedings, if determined against Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor or
any Property, might materially adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or business
of Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor or the condition or ownership of any Property.

4.1.5 Agreements. Borrower is not a party to any agreement or instrument or subject
to any restriction which might materially and adversely affect Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower or
any Property, or Borrower’s or any Mortgage Borrower’s business, properties or assets, operations
or condition, financial or otherwise. Neither Borrower nor any Mortgage Borrower is in default in
any material respect in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations,
covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which
Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower or any Property are bound. Neither Borrower nor any Mortgage
Borrower has any material financial obligation under any indenture, any mortgage, deed of trust,
loan agreement or other agreement or instrument to which Borrower or such Mortgage Borrower is a
party or by which Borrower, any such Mortgage Borrower, the Collateral or the Property or
Properties owned by Borrower or such Mortgage Borrower, as applicable, is otherwise bound, other
than (a) any obligations incurred in the ordinary course of the operation of the Property or
Properties owned by such Mortgage Borrower as permitted pursuant to clause (u) of the
definition of “Special Purpose Entity” set forth in Section 1.1 of the Mortgage Loan
Agreement, and (b) the obligations under the Loan Documents and the Mortgage Loan Documents, as
applicable.

4.1.6 Title.

(a) Fee simple title to each Property is, or contemporaneously with the funding of the Loan
will be, owned by a Mortgage Borrower hereunder free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the
Permitted Encumbrances. To Borrower’s actual knowledge, the
Permitted Encumbrances in the aggregate do not materially and adversely affect the value,
operation or use of any Property (as currently used) or (x) any Mortgage Borrower’s ability to
repay the Mortgage Loan or (y) Borrower’s ability to repay the Loan. Except as set forth in the
Title Insurance Policies, there are no claims for payment for work, labor or materials affecting
any Property which are or may become a Lien prior to, or of equal priority with, the Liens created
by the Loan Documents.

 

41

 

(b) Borrower is the record and beneficial owner of, and has good and marketable title to the
Collateral, free and clear of all Liens whatsoever except the Liens created by the Loan Documents.
The Pledge Agreement, together with the UCC Financing Statements relating to the Collateral, will
create a valid, perfected first priority lien on, and security interest in and to, the Collateral,
all in accordance with the terms thereof.

4.1.7 Solvency. Borrower has (a) not entered into the transaction contemplated by
this Agreement or executed the Note, this Agreement or any other Loan Documents with the actual
intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditor and (b) received reasonably equivalent value in
exchange for its obligations under such Loan Documents. Giving effect to the Loan, the fair
saleable value of Borrower’s assets exceeds and will, immediately following the making of the Loan,
exceed Borrower’s total liabilities, including, without limitation, subordinated, unliquidated,
disputed and contingent liabilities. After giving effect to the Loan, the fair saleable value of
Borrower’s assets are greater than Borrower’s probable liabilities, including the maximum amount of
its contingent liabilities on its debts as such debts become absolute and matured. Borrower’s
assets do not and, immediately following the making of the Loan will not, constitute unreasonably
small capital to carry out Borrower’s business as conducted or as proposed to be conducted.
Borrower does not intend to, and does not believe that it will, incur debts and liabilities
(including contingent liabilities and other commitments) beyond Borrower’s ability to pay such
debts and liabilities as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be
received by Borrower and the amounts to be payable on or in respect of the obligations of
Borrower). No petition in bankruptcy has been filed against Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower or any
of their constituent Persons, and neither Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, nor any of their
constituent Persons has ever made an assignment for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of
any insolvency act for the benefit of debtors. Neither Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower nor any of
their constituent Persons are contemplating either the filing of a petition by it under any state
or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or the liquidation of all or a major portion of Borrower’s
assets or properties, and Borrower has no knowledge of any Person contemplating the filing of any
petition against Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower or any of their constituent Persons.

4.1.8 Full and Accurate Disclosure. No statement of fact made by or on behalf of
Borrower (i) in connection with the Loan Application, (ii) in this Agreement, or (iii) in any of
the other Loan Documents contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any
material fact necessary to make statements contained herein or therein not misleading. There is no
material fact presently known to Borrower which has not been disclosed to Lender which adversely
affects, nor as far as Borrower can foresee, might adversely affect, Borrower, the Collateral, any
Mortgage Borrower, any Property or the business, operations or condition (financial or otherwise)
of Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, or Guarantor.

 

42

 

4.1.9 No Plan Assets. Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan,” as defined in
Section 3(3) of ERISA, subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, and none of the
assets of Borrower constitutes or will constitute “plan assets” of one or more such plans within
the meaning of 29 C.F.R. Section 2510.3-101. Compliance by Borrower and Guarantor with the
provisions hereof will not involve any Prohibited Transaction. Neither Guarantor nor Borrower has
any pension, profit sharing, stock option, insurance or other arrangement or plan for employees
covered by Title IV of ERISA, and no “Reportable Event” as defined in ERISA has occurred and is now
continuing with respect to any such plan. The performance by Borrower of its obligations under the
Loan Documents and Borrower’s conducting of its operations do not violate any provisions of ERISA.
In addition, (a) Borrower is not a “governmental plan” within the meaning of Section 3(32) of
ERISA, (b) transactions by or with Borrower are not subject to any state statute regulating
investments of, or fiduciary obligations with respect to, governmental plans within the meaning of
Section 2(32) of ERISA which is similar to the provisions of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code currently in effect, which prohibit or otherwise restrict the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement, and (c) neither Borrower, Mortgage Borrowers, Guarantor or ERISA Affiliate is at
the date hereof, or has been at any time within the two years preceding the date hereof, an
employer required to contribute to any Multiemployer Plan or Multiple Employer Plan, or a
“contributing sponsor” (as such term is defined in section 4001 of ERISA) in any Multiemployer Plan
or Multiple Employer Plan; and neither Borrower, Mortgage Borrowers, Guarantor nor any ERISA
Affiliate has any contingent liability, other than COBRA continuation of coverage obligations
imposed by state law, with respect to any post-retirement “welfare benefit plan” (as such term is
defined in ERISA) except as disclosed to the Lender in writing.

4.1.10 Compliance. Borrower, Mortgage Borrowers and the Property or Properties owned
by such Mortgage Borrowers (including the use thereof) comply in all material respects with all
applicable Legal Requirements, including, without limitation, building and zoning ordinances and
codes. Borrower is not in default or violation of any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of
any Governmental Authority. To Borrower’s actual knowledge, there has not been committed by
Borrower, Mortgage Borrower or any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or
use of any Property, any act or omission affording any Governmental Authority the right of
forfeiture as against one or more of the Properties or any part thereof or any monies paid in
performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan Documents. Neither the Improvements as
constructed at each Property, nor the use of any Property by tenants under the Leases and the
contemplated accessory uses will violate (a) any Legal Requirements (including subdivision, zoning,
building, environmental protection and wetland protection Legal Requirements), or (b) any building
permits, restrictions or record, or agreements affecting any Property or any part thereof. Neither
the zoning authorizations, approvals or variances nor any other right to construct or to use any
Property is to any extent dependent upon or related to any real estate other than the applicable
Property.

 

43

 

4.1.11 Financial Information. All financial data with respect to Borrower, the
Collateral, each Mortgage Borrower, each Property and Guarantor, including, without limitation, the
statements of Net Cash Flow and income and operating expense, that have been delivered to Lender in
connection with the Loan (i) are true, complete and correct in all material respects, (ii)
accurately represent the financial condition of the Property or the Collateral identified therein
and Borrower, each Mortgage Borrower and Guarantor as of the date of such reports, and (iii) to
the extent prepared or audited by an independent certified public accounting firm, have been
prepared in accordance with GAAP (or another basis of accounting acceptable to Lender and
consistently used) throughout the periods covered, except as disclosed therein. Except for
Permitted Encumbrances, Borrower does not have any contingent liabilities, liabilities for taxes,
unusual forward or long-term commitments or unrealized or anticipated losses from any unfavorable
commitments that are known to Borrower and are reasonably likely to have a materially adverse
effect on Borrower, the Collateral, any Mortgage Borrower or any Property or the operation thereof
as a retail, office or a commercial property, as applicable, except as referred to or reflected in
said financial statements. Since the date of such financial statements, there has been no Material
Adverse Change in the financial condition, operation or business of Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower
or Guarantor from that set forth in said financial statements.

4.1.12 Condemnation. No Condemnation or other proceeding has been commenced or, to
Borrower’s best knowledge, is threatened or contemplated with respect to all or any portion of any
Property or for the relocation of any roadway providing access to any Property.

4.1.13 Federal Reserve Regulations. No part of the proceeds of the Loan will be used
for the purpose of purchasing or acquiring any “margin stock” within the meaning of Regulation U of
the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or for any other purpose which would be
inconsistent with such Regulation U or any other Regulations of such Board of Governors, or for any
purposes prohibited by any Legal Requirements or by the terms and conditions of this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents.

4.1.14 Utilities and Public Access. Each Property has rights of access to public ways
and is served by water, sewer, sanitary sewer and storm drain facilities adequate to service such
Property for its intended uses. All public utilities necessary or convenient to the full use and
enjoyment of each Property are located either in the public right-of-way abutting such Property
(which are connected so as to serve such Property without passing over other property) or in
recorded easements serving such Property. All roads necessary for the use of each Property for
such Property’s current purpose have been completed and dedicated to public use and accepted by all
Governmental Authorities. There is no on site sewage disposal system and each Property is served
by a sewer system maintained by a Governmental Authority or property owners association.

4.1.15 Not a Foreign Person. Borrower is not a “foreign person” within the meaning of
§1445(f)(3) of the Code.

4.1.16 Separate Lots. Each Property is comprised of one (1) or more parcels which
constitute a separate tax lot or lots and does not constitute a portion of any other tax lot not a
part of such Property.

4.1.17 Assessments. Except as set forth in the Title Insurance Policy there are no
pending or proposed special or other assessments for public improvements or otherwise affecting any
Property, nor are there any contemplated improvements to any Property that may result in such
special or other assessments.

 

44

 

4.1.18 Enforceability. The Loan Documents are not subject to any right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense by Borrower or Guarantor, including the defense of usury, nor
would the operation of any of the terms of the Loan Documents, or the exercise of any right
thereunder, render the Loan Documents unenforceable (subject to principles of equity and
bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally affecting creditors’ rights and the enforcement of
debtors’ obligations), and neither Borrower nor Guarantor has asserted any right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense with respect thereto.

4.1.19 No Prior Assignment. There are no prior assignments of any Mortgage Borrower’s
interest in the Leases or all or any portion of the Rents due and payable or to become due and
payable which are presently outstanding. There are no prior assignments of the Collateral which
are presently outstanding except in accordance with the Loan Documents.

4.1.20 Insurance. Borrower has caused Mortgage Borrowers to obtain (or caused to be
obtained) and deliver (or caused to be delivered) to Lender insurance certificates in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender, with all premiums paid thereunder, reflecting the
insurance coverages, amounts and other requirements set forth in Section 6.1 of the
Mortgage Loan Agreement. To Borrower’s actual knowledge, no claims provided to Borrower relating
to the Properties have been made or are currently pending, outstanding or otherwise remain
unsatisfied under any such Policies, and no Person, including Borrower and any Mortgage Borrower,
has done, by act or omission, anything which would impair the coverage of any such Policies.

4.1.21 Use of Property. Each of the Properties is used for a use permitted under the
applicable Lease demising such Property and other appurtenant and related uses.

4.1.22 Certificate of Occupancy; Licenses. All certifications, permits, licenses and
approvals, including without limitation, certificates of completion and occupancy permits (and any
applicable liquor license) required for the legal use, occupancy and operation of each of the
Properties by each applicable tenant under the applicable Lease for such Property (collectively,
the “Licenses”), have been obtained and are in full force and effect. Borrower shall cause each
Mortgage Borrower to keep and maintain (or cause to be kept and maintained) all Licenses necessary
for the operation of the Property or Properties owned by such Mortgage Borrower as a retail, office
or commercial property, as applicable. The use being made of each Property is in conformity with
the certificate of occupancy issued for such Property.

4.1.23 Flood Zone. Except as may be set forth in Schedule IX attached hereto, none of
the Improvements on any of the Properties are located in an area identified by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency or the Secretary of Housing and Urban Development as an area having
special flood hazards categorized as Zone “A” or Zone “V” or, if so located, the flood insurance
required pursuant to Section 6.1(a)(i) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement is in full force and
effect with respect to such Property.

 

45

 

4.1.24 Physical Condition. Except as set forth in the Physical Conditions Reports,
each Property, including, without limitation, all buildings, improvements, parking facilities,
sidewalks, storm drainage systems, roofs, plumbing systems, HVAC systems, fire protection systems,
electrical systems, equipment, elevators, exterior sidings and doors,
landscaping, irrigation systems and all structural components are in good condition, order and
repair in all material respects. To Borrower’s actual knowledge, there exists no structural or
other material defects or damages in any Property, whether latent or otherwise, and none of
Borrower or any Mortgage Borrower has received any notice from any insurance company or bonding
company of any defects or inadequacies in any of the Properties, or any part thereof, which would
adversely affect the insurability of the same or cause the imposition of extraordinary premiums or
charges thereon or of any termination or threatened termination of any policy of insurance or bond.

4.1.25 Boundaries. To Borrower’s actual knowledge, except as set forth on the
Surveys, all of the Improvements which were included in determining the appraised value of each of
the Properties lie wholly within the boundaries and building restriction lines of such Property,
and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon any of the Properties, and no easements
or other encumbrances upon any Property encroach upon any of the Improvements, so as to affect the
value or marketability of such Property except those which are insured against by the applicable
Title Insurance Policy, provided that to the extent any of such matters are shown on any survey, no
such matter materially affects (i) the value of the applicable Property, (ii) access to such
Property, or (iii) the use of such Property.

4.1.26 Leases. The Properties are not subject to any Leases other than the Leases
described in Schedule II attached to the Mortgage Loan Agreement and made a part thereof.
No Property has more than one Lease, as of the date hereof (other than one or more subleases in
effect at the Property, to the extent Borrower has notified (or caused Mortgage Borrowers to
notify) Mortgage Lender of the existence of any such sublease as listed on Schedule II
attached to the Mortgage Loan Agreement or to the extent that any such sublease is set forth on
Schedule B of the applicable Title Insurance Policy). The tenant under each Lease is currently
operating its business within the Improvements demised thereby. Each Mortgage Borrower is the
owner and lessor of landlord’s interest in the Leases appurtenant to the Property or Properties
owned by such Mortgage Borrower. No Person has any possessory interest in any Property or right to
occupy the same except under and pursuant to the provisions of the Leases. The current Leases are
in full force and effect and, except as may be disclosed in any tenant estoppel certificates
delivered to Lender there are no material defaults thereunder by either party and there are no
conditions that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both, would constitute
material defaults thereunder (except for defaults which have been summarized on Schedule II
attached to the Mortgage Loan Agreement). The copies of the Leases and any related guaranty
(including all amendments thereof) delivered to Lender are accurate, true and complete, and there
are no oral agreements or additional amendments or other agreements with respect thereto. No Rent
(other than security deposits, if any, listed on Schedule II attached to the Mortgage Loan
Agreement) has been paid more than one (1) month in advance of its due date. Except as may be
disclosed in any tenant estoppel certificates delivered to Lender, all work to be performed by the
landlord under each Lease has been performed as required in such Lease and has been accepted by the
applicable tenant, and any payments, free rent, partial rent, rebate of rent or other payments,
credits, allowances or abatements required to be given by the landlord under such Lease to any
tenant has already been received by such tenant. There has been no prior sale, transfer or
assignment (other than to Mortgage Borrower and Mortgage Lender), hypothecation or pledge of any
Lease or of the Rents received therein which is still 

 

46

 

in effect (other than assignments,
hypothecations or pledges which may have been made by the tenants
under the
Leases). To Borrower’s actual knowledge, except as listed on Schedule II attached to
the Mortgage Loan Agreement, no tenant has assigned its Lease or sublet all or any portion of the
premises demised thereby, no such tenant holds its leased premises under assignment or sublease,
nor does anyone except such tenant and its employees occupy such leased premises. No tenant under
any Lease has a right or option pursuant to such Lease or otherwise to purchase all or any part of
the Property of which the leased premises are a part (other than rights of first refusal or rights
of first offer described in any Leases delivered to Lender prior to the date hereof, which are
listed in Schedule II attached to the Mortgage Loan Agreement). No tenant under any Lease
has any right or option for additional space in the Improvements. To Borrower’s actual knowledge
and except as disclosed in any environmental reports delivered to Lender in connection with the
Loan, no Hazardous Substances have been disposed, stored or treated by any tenant under any Lease
on or about the leased premises nor does Borrower have any actual knowledge of any tenant’s
intention to use its leased premises for any activity which, directly or indirectly, involves the
use, generation, treatment, storage, disposal or transportation of any petroleum product or any
Hazardous Substances, except in either event, in compliance with applicable Environmental Laws.

4.1.27 Survey. To Borrower’s actual knowledge, the Surveys and related survey
certifications for the Properties delivered to Lender in connection with this Agreement have been
prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1.3(c) hereof, and do not fail to
reflect any material matter affecting the Properties depicted thereon or the title thereto.

4.1.28 Principal Place of Business; State of Organization. Borrower’s principal place
of business as of the date hereof is the address set forth in the introductory paragraph of this
Agreement. Borrower is organized under the laws of the State of Delaware.

4.1.29 Filing and Recording Taxes. All transfer taxes, deed stamps, intangible taxes
or other amounts in the nature of transfer taxes required to be paid by any Person under applicable
Legal Requirements currently in effect in connection with the transfer of (i) the Collateral to the
Borrower and (ii) each of the Properties to the Mortgage Borrowers have been paid. All mortgage,
mortgage recording, stamp, intangible or other similar tax required to be paid by any Person under
applicable Legal Requirements currently in effect in connection with the execution, delivery,
recordation, filing, registration, perfection or enforcement of any of (i) the Loan Documents,
including, without limitation, the Pledge Agreement and (ii) Mortgage Loan Documents, including
without limitation, each of the Mortgages, have been paid or are being paid simultaneously
herewith, and, under current Legal Requirements, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents
are enforceable in accordance with their respective terms by Lender (or any subsequent holder
thereof), subject to principles of equity and bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws generally
applicable to creditors’ rights and the enforcement of debtors’ obligations.

4.1.30 Special Purpose Entity/Separateness. (a) Until the Debt has been paid in
full, Borrower hereby represents, warrants and covenants that (i) each of Borrower and Principal
is, shall be and shall continue to be a Special Purpose Entity and (ii) each Mortgage Borrower and
each Principal (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement) of each Mortgage Borrower is, and
Borrower shall cause each of them to be, and shall cause each of them to continue to be, a Special
Purpose Entity (as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement).

 

47

 

(b) The representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Section 4.1.30(a) shall
survive for so long as any amount remains payable to Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document.

(c) All of the facts stated and all of the assumptions made in the Insolvency Opinion with
respect to Borrower, each of the Mortgage Borrowers, the Principal, Guarantor and their Affiliates,

BORROWER COVENANTS

Section 5.1 Affirmative Covenants. From the date hereof and until payment and
performance in full of all Obligations or the earlier release of the Lien of the Pledge Agreement
(and all related obligations) in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that:

5.1.1 Existence; Compliance with Legal Requirements. Borrower shall (and shall cause
Mortgage Borrowers to, as applicable) do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve,
renew and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights, licenses, permits and franchises and
to comply with all Legal Requirements applicable to Borrower, such Mortgage Borrower, the
Collateral and the Property or Properties, including, without limitation, building and zoning
ordinances and codes. There shall never be committed by Borrower, and Borrower shall not permit
Mortgage Borrower to permit any other Person in occupancy of or involved with the operation or use
of any Property or the Collateral to commit any act or omission affording the federal government or
any state or local government the right of forfeiture against the Collateral, any Property or any
part thereof or any monies paid in performance of Borrower’s obligations under any of the Loan
Documents. Borrower hereby covenants and agrees not to permit or cause Mortgage Borrowers to
commit, permit or suffer to exist any act or omission affording such right of forfeiture. Borrower
shall at all times cause Mortgage Borrowers to maintain, preserve and protect all franchises and
trade names, preserve all the remainder of its property used or useful in the conduct of its
business, and shall keep or cause Mortgage Borrowers to keep the Property or Properties owned by
such Mortgage Borrower in good working order and repair, and from time to time make, or cause to be
made, all reasonably necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements
thereto, all as more fully provided in the applicable Mortgage. Borrower shall cause Mortgage
Borrowers to cause the Property or Properties owned by such Mortgage Borrower to be insured at all
times by financially sound and reputable insurers, to such extent and against such risks, and cause
to be maintained liability and such other insurance, as is more fully provided in this Agreement.
Borrower shall cause each Mortgage Borrower to operate the Property
or Properties owned by such Mortgage

 

51

 

Borrower to be operated in accordance with the terms and provisions of any O&M Agreement
applicable to such Property in
all material respects. After prior notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may
contest (or cause Mortgage Borrowers to contest) by appropriate legal proceeding promptly initiated
and conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the validity of any Legal Requirement, the
applicability of any Legal Requirement to Borrower, such Mortgage Borrower or the Property or
Properties owned by such Mortgage Borrower or any alleged violation of any Legal Requirement,
provided, that: (a) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and remains uncured; (b) such
proceeding shall be permitted under, and be conducted in accordance with, the provisions of any
instrument to which Borrower or such Mortgage Borrower is subject and shall not constitute a
default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in accordance with all applicable
statutes, laws and ordinances; (c) neither the Collateral, the Property or Properties owned by such
Mortgage Borrower nor any part thereof or interest therein will be in danger of being sold,
forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (d) Borrower shall (or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers
to), upon final determination thereof, promptly comply with any such Legal Requirement determined
to be valid or applicable or cure any violation of any Legal Requirement; (e) such proceeding shall
suspend the enforcement of the contested Legal Requirement against Borrower, the Collateral, such
Mortgage Borrower and the Property or Properties owned by such Mortgage Borrower; and (f) Borrower
shall furnish such security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested
by Mortgage Lender (pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Agreement), to insure compliance with such Legal
Requirement, together with all interest and penalties payable in connection therewith. Lender may
apply any such security, as necessary to cause compliance with such Legal Requirement at any time
when, in the reasonable judgment of Lender, the validity, applicability or violation of such Legal
Requirement is finally established or the Collateral or any Property (or any part thereof or
interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost.

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1.1, to the extent the
Lease with a tenant remains in effect and such tenant remains liable for the obligations under its
Lease, such tenant shall have the right to exercise any contest rights set forth in such Lease in
accordance with the terms thereof and, to the extent such rights conflict or are inconsistent with
the provisions of this Section 5.1.1, the provisions set forth in such Lease shall govern
and control, provided that if such tenant loses such contest, or if as a result of any legal
proceeding or enforcement action by a Governmental Authority in respect of such foregoing
provisions, title to any Property is in imminent risk of being transferred, Borrower shall cause
the applicable Mortgage Borrower to pay for any sums ultimately owed to any Governmental Authority
(including any penalty payments, interests charges or other similar sums owed to such Governmental
Authority) or complying with the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1.1.

5.1.2 Taxes and Other Charges. Borrower shall pay, or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers
to pay (or tenants to pay, to the extent any tenant is obligated to make such payments under its
Lease) all Taxes and Other Charges now or hereafter levied or assessed or imposed against the
Property or Properties owned by such Mortgage Borrower, or any part thereof, prior to delinquency;
provided, however, Borrower’s obligation to cause Mortgage Borrowers to directly pay (or cause
Mortgage Borrower’s tenant(s) to pay) Taxes shall be suspended for so long as Borrower causes such
Mortgage Borrower to comply with the terms and provisions of Section 7.2 of the Mortgage
Loan Agreement in respect of the Property or Properties owned by such Mortgage Borrower. Borrower
shall furnish or caused to be furnished to Lender receipts or other evidence satisfactory to Lender

 

52

 

for the payment of the Taxes and the Other Charges prior
to the date the same shall become delinquent provided, however, (i) Borrower
is not required to furnish such receipts for payment of Taxes in the event that such Taxes have
been paid by Mortgage Lender pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement hereof,
and (ii) if the tenant under a Lease pays such Taxes or Other Charges directly to the applicable
authority and Borrower causes such Mortgage Borrower to timely request and diligently pursue
evidence of payment, and further provided that no enforcement action has been commenced by the
applicable authority resulting from such tenant’s failure to pay Taxes or Other Charges, Borrower
shall have an additional thirty (30) day period to provide such evidence to Lender. Borrower shall
not suffer and shall not permit Mortgage Borrowers to suffer and shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to
promptly pay and discharge any Lien or charge whatsoever which may be or become a Lien or charge
against any Property or the Collateral (other than Permitted Encumbrances), and shall promptly pay
or cause Mortgage Borrowers to promptly pay for or cause to be paid all utility services provided
to the Properties. After prior notice to Lender, Borrower, at its own expense, may contest (or
cause Mortgage Borrowers to contest) by appropriate legal proceeding, promptly initiated and
conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the amount or validity or application in whole or
in part of any Taxes or Other Charges, provided that (a) no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and remains uncured; (b) such proceeding shall be permitted under, and be conducted in
accordance with, the provisions of any other instrument to which Borrower or such Mortgage Borrower
is subject and shall not constitute a default thereunder and such proceeding shall be conducted in
accordance with all applicable statutes, laws and ordinances; (c) neither the Collateral or the
Property or Properties owned by such Mortgage Borrower nor any part thereof or interest therein
will be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or lost; (d) Borrower shall or
shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to promptly upon final determination thereof pay the amount of any
such Taxes or Other Charges, together with all costs, interest and penalties which may be payable
in connection therewith; (e) such proceeding shall suspend the collection of such contested Taxes
or Other Charges from the Property or Properties owned by such Mortgage Borrower (except that if
such Taxes or Other Charges must be paid sooner in order to avoid being delinquent, then Borrower
shall cause such Mortgage Borrower to cause the same to be paid prior to delinquency, and upon
making such payment prior to delinquency Borrower may (or may permit such Mortgage Borrower to)
continue such contest); and (f) Borrower shall furnish or cause Mortgage Borrowers to furnish such
security as may be required in the proceeding, or as may be reasonably requested by Mortgage Lender
(pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Agreement), to insure the payment of any such Taxes or Other
Charges, together with all interest and penalties thereon. Lender may pay over any such cash
deposit or part thereof held by Lender to the claimant entitled thereto at any time when, in the
judgment of Lender, the entitlement of such claimant is established or any Property (or part
thereof or interest therein) shall be in danger of being sold, forfeited, terminated, cancelled or
lost or there shall be any danger of the Lien of the Mortgage encumbering such Property being
primed by any related Lien (other than Permitted Encumbrances).

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1.2, to the extent the
Lease with a tenant remains in effect and such tenant remains liable for the obligations under this
Lease, such tenant shall have the right to exercise any contest rights set forth in such Lease in
accordance with the terms thereof and, to the extent such rights conflict or are inconsistent with
the provisions of this Section 5.1.2, the provisions set forth in such Lease shall govern
and control, so long as no Governmental Authority commences any enforcement action in connection
with the non-payment of any Taxes or Other Charges which could result in a transfer of title to
the applicable Property, and in addition Borrower shall cause the applicable Mortgage Borrower
to pay any sums ultimately owed to any Governmental Authority in connection with any applicable
Taxes or Other Charges (including any penalty payments, interest charges or similar monetary sums
owed to such Governmental Authority).

 

53

 

5.1.3 Litigation. Borrower shall give prompt notice to Lender of any litigation or
proceedings by any Governmental Authority pending or threatened in writing against Borrower,
Mortgage Borrowers, the Collateral and/or Guarantor which might materially adversely affect
Borrower’s, such Mortgage Borrower’s or Guarantor’s condition (financial or otherwise) or business
or the Property or Properties owned by such Mortgage Borrower.

5.1.4 Access to Property. Subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases, Borrower
shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to permit agents, representatives and employees of Lender to inspect
the Property or Properties owned by such Mortgage Borrower or any part thereof at reasonable hours
upon reasonable advance notice (which may be given verbally). So long as no Event of Default then
exists, such inspection shall be at Lender’s sole cost and expense. During the occurrence and
continuance of an Event of Default, such inspection shall be at Borrower’s sole cost and expense.

5.1.5 Notice of Default. Borrower shall promptly advise Lender of any Material
Adverse Change in Borrower’s, Mortgage Borrowers’ or Guarantor’s condition, financial or otherwise,

respect to any proceedings before any court, board or other Governmental Authority which may in any

such proceedings.

5.1.7 Perform Loan Documents. Borrower shall observe, perform and satisfy all the
terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of, and shall pay when due all costs, fees and expenses
to the extent required under the Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to,
Borrower. Payment of the costs and expenses associated with any of the foregoing shall be in
accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the
provisions of Section 10.13 hereof.

5.1.8 Award and Insurance Benefits. Borrower shall cooperate or cause Mortgage
Borrowers to cooperate with Lender in obtaining for Lender the benefits of any Awards or Insurance
Proceeds lawfully or equitably payable in connection with the Property or Properties owned by such
Mortgage Borrower, and Lender shall be reimbursed for any reasonable expenses incurred in
connection therewith (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, and the payment by
Borrower or such Mortgage Borrower of the reasonable expense of an appraisal on behalf of Lender in
case of Casualty or Condemnation affecting such Property or any part thereof) out of such Insurance
Proceeds.

Person maintaining such books, records and accounts and to make such copies or extracts thereof as

days prior to the commencement of such period or Fiscal Year, in form reasonably satisfactory to
Lender. The Annual Budget shall be subject to Lender’s approval (each such Annual Budget, an
“Approved Annual Budget”). In the event that Lender objects to a proposed Annual Budget submitted

expenses.

(e) In the event that Borrower or any Mortgage Borrower must incur an extraordinary Operating
Expense or Capital Expenditure not set forth in the Approved Annual Budget (each an “Extraordinary
Expense”), then Borrower shall (or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to) promptly deliver to Lender a
reasonably detailed explanation of such proposed Extraordinary Expense for Lender’s approval.

Investor, and any organization maintaining databases on the underwriting and performance of
commercial mortgage or mezzanine loans, all documents and information which Lender now has or may
hereafter acquire relating to the Debt and to Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, any Guarantor and
the Properties, whether furnished by Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, any Guarantor, or otherwise,
as Lender reasonably determines necessary or desirable. Borrower irrevocably waives any and all
rights which it may have under any applicable Legal Requirements to prohibit such disclosure,
including, but not limited, to any
right of privacy. Lender agrees that it will direct any recipients of the foregoing
information to keep all non-public information confidential.

 

57

 

(g) Any reports, statements or other information required to be delivered under this Agreement

59

 

(b) In the event a Mortgage Borrower desires to enter into or otherwise suffer or permit any
amendment, waiver, supplement, or other modification of any Mortgage Loan Document executed and
delivered by, or applicable to, such Mortgage Borrower as of the date hereof, Borrower shall

approval containing a legend clearly marked in not less than fourteen (14) point bold fact type,

Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon request, the Borrower shall cause
the applicable Mortgage Borrower to furnish Lender with true, correct and complete executed copies
of all such proposed Major Leases, amendments thereof and any related agreements. All renewals of
Leases and all proposed Leases shall provide for rental rates comparable to existing local market
rates. All proposed Leases shall be on commercially reasonable terms and shall not contain any
terms which would materially affect Lender’s rights under the Loan Documents. All Leases executed
after the date hereof shall provide that they are subordinate to the applicable Mortgage and the
Lien created thereby and that the tenant thereunder agrees to attorn to Mortgage Lender or any
purchaser at a sale by foreclosure or power of sale. Borrower shall cause each Mortgage Borrower
(a) to observe and perform the obligations imposed upon the lessor under the Leases applicable to
the Property or Properties owned by such Mortgage Borrower in a commercially reasonable manner;

upon the part of the tenant thereunder to be observed or performed in a commercially reasonable
manner and in a manner not to impair the value of the Property or Properties owned by such Mortgage
Borrower

 

60

 

involved, except that such Mortgage Borrower shall not terminate or accept the surrender by a
tenant of, any Major Lease unless by reason of a tenant default and then only in a commercially
reasonable manner to preserve and protect the Property or Properties owned by such Mortgage
Borrower; (c) not to collect any of the Rents more than one (1) month in advance (other than
security deposits required pursuant to such Lease); (d) not to execute any other assignment of
lessor’s interest in the Leases or the Rents (except as contemplated by the Loan Documents); (e)
not to alter, modify or change the terms of any Leases in a manner inconsistent with the provisions
of the Loan Documents; and (f) to execute and deliver at the request of Lender all such further
assurances, confirmations and assignments in connection with the Leases as Lender shall from time
to time reasonably require. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Borrower
shall not cause or permit any Mortgage Borrower to enter into a Lease after the date hereof of all
or substantially all of the Property or Properties owned by such Mortgage Borrower without Lender’s
prior written consent.

(b) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, with respect to any Property,
Borrower shall not cause or permit any Mortgage Borrower, without the prior written consent of
Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to enter into, renew, extend, amend,
modify, waive any provisions of, terminate, release any Person from liability under, reduce rents
under, accept a surrender of space under, or shorten the term of, any Major Lease or any instrument
guaranteeing or providing credit support for any Major Lease; provided that Lender’s consent shall
not be required with respect to the exercise by any tenant of any renewal and extension options set
forth in its Lease.

(c) Whenever Lender’s approval or consent is required pursuant to the provisions of this
Section 5.1.20, Lender shall use good faith efforts to respond within ten (10) Business
Days after Lender’s receipt of Borrower’s written request for approval or consent, accompanied by
the applicable Lease or other item for which consent is sought. If Lender fails to respond to such
request within ten (10) Business Days, and Borrower sends a second request containing a legend
clearly marked in not less than fourteen (14) point bold face type, underlined, in all capital
letters “REQUEST DEEMED APPROVED IF NO RESPONSE WITHIN 10 BUSINESS DAYS”, Lender shall be deemed to
have approved or consented to such Lease or other item for which consent is sought if Lender fails
to respond to such second written request before the expiration of such ten (10) Business Day
period.

5.1.21 Alterations. Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to obtain Lender’s prior
written consent to any alterations to any Improvements affecting any of the Properties, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld except with respect to any alterations to any
Improvements which may have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s or any Mortgage Borrower’s
financial condition, the value of the Property intended to be subjected to such alterations or the
Net Operating Income. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender’s consent shall not be required in
connection with any (a) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms of any Lease
executed on or before the date hereof, (b) tenant improvement work performed pursuant to the terms
of any Lease executed after the date hereof, provided that such Lease shall satisfy the
requirements of Section 5.1.20, (c) alterations performed in connection with the
Restoration of any Property after the occurrence of a Casualty or Condemnation in accordance with
the terms and provisions of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, or (d) alterations 

 

61

 

at any Property that
will not have a material adverse effect on Borrower’s or such
Mortgage
Borrower’s financial condition, the value of such Property or the Net Operating Income,
provided that, in the case of clause (d), such alterations (i) are either work performed pursuant
to the terms of any Lease approved or deemed approved in accordance with the terms hereof, or the
costs for such alterations are adequately covered in the current Approved Annual Budget applicable
to such Property, (ii) do not adversely affect any structural component of any Improvements, any
utility or HVAC system contained in any Improvements or the exterior of any building constituting a
part of any Improvements and (iii) the aggregate cost thereof does not exceed, for any Property in
any annual period, the greater of: (A) ten percent (10%) of the Allocated Loan Amount for such
Property or (B) Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000). If the total unpaid amounts due and payable with
respect to alterations to any Improvements at any one Property (other than such amounts to be paid
or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) shall at any time exceed twenty percent (20%) of the
Allocated Loan Amount for such Property (the “Threshold Amount”), to the extent that Mortgage
Borrowers shall not have delivered to Mortgage Lender as security for the payment of such amounts
and as additional security for the Obligations any of the following: (i) cash, (ii) U.S.
Obligations, (iii) other securities having a rating acceptable to Lender and that the applicable
Rating Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade,
withdrawal or qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned to any
Securities or any class thereof in connection with any Securitization, or (iv) either (x) a
completion and performance bond and a guaranteed maximum priced contract (in form and substance
satisfactory to Lender) for a general contractor (satisfactory to lender) or (y) an irrevocable
letter of credit (payable on sight draft only) issued by a financial institution (A) having a
rating by S&P of not less than “A-1+” if the term of such bond or letter of credit is no longer
than three (3) months or, if such term is in excess of three (3) months, issued by a financial
institution having a rating that is acceptable to Lender, and (B) that the applicable Rating
Agencies have confirmed in writing will not, in and of itself, result in a downgrade, withdrawal or
qualification of the initial, or, if higher, then current ratings assigned to any Securities or any
class thereof in connection with any Securitization, then Borrower shall promptly deliver to Lender
such security. Such security shall be in an amount equal to the excess of the total unpaid amounts
with respect to alterations to the applicable Improvements on the applicable Property (other than
such amounts to be paid or reimbursed by tenants under the Leases) over the Threshold Amount and
Lender may apply such security from time to time at the option of Lender to pay for such
alterations. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1.21 to the
contrary, it is acknowledged that the tenant at the Apria Healthcare store in Indianapolis which is
subject to a Lease with a Mortgage Borrower, desires to make certain alterations and install
certain tenant improvements more particularly described in Schedule XI attached hereto at
tenant’s own expense, and it is acknowledged that such Mortgage Borrower and such tenant shall not
require any consent from Lender to install such alterations and tenant improvements, so long as
such work is in accordance with such Schedule XI, provided Manager and/or the Mortgage
Borrower that owns such Property shall be responsible for taking commercially reasonable steps in
causing such Mortgage Borrower and such tenant to take appropriate corrective action if such
alterations and tenant improvements fail to comply with applicable Legal Requirements and shall
pursue appropriate remedies if such tenant permits any mechanic’s liens in respect of such work to
be filed of record.

5.1.22 Operation of Properties. (a) Borrower shall cause each Mortgage Borrower to
operate (or cause to be operated) the Property or Properties owned by such Mortgage Borrower, in
all material respects, in accordance with the applicable Management
Agreement or Replacement Management Agreement, as applicable. In the event that any
Management Agreement expires or any Property is removed from the application of the Management
Agreement (without limiting any obligation of Borrower to obtain Lender’s consent to any removal of
any Property from the application of the Management Agreement or modification of any Management
Agreement in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement), Borrower shall promptly
cause such Mortgage Borrower to enter into a Replacement Management Agreement with Manager or
another Qualified Manager, as applicable. Borrower will promptly notify Lender if the tenant under
any Major Lease ceases to operate its business within the Improvements demised by such Major Lease.

 

62

 

(b) Borrower shall: (i) cause each Mortgage Borrower promptly to perform and/or observe in
all material respects all of the covenants and agreements required to be performed and observed by
such Mortgage Borrower under any Management Agreement and do all things necessary to preserve and
to keep unimpaired its material rights thereunder; (ii) promptly notify Lender of any material
default under any Management Agreement of which it is aware; (iii) promptly deliver to Lender a
copy of each financial statement, business plan, capital expenditures plan, notice, report and
estimate received by it under any Management Agreement; and (iv) cause each Mortgage Borrower to
enforce the performance and observance of all of the covenants and agreements required to be
performed and/or observed by Manager under any such Management Agreement, in a commercially
reasonable manner.

5.1.23 Changes in the Legal Requirements Regarding Taxation. If any Legal Requirement
or other law, order, requirement or regulation of any Governmental Authority is enacted or adopted
or amended after the date the Loan is funded which imposes a tax, either directly or indirectly, on
the Obligations or Lender’s interest in the Collateral (other than an income tax), Borrower must
pay such tax, with interest and penalties thereon, if any. If Lender is advised by counsel chosen
by it that the payment of such tax or interest and penalties by Borrower would be unlawful or
unenforceable or provide the basis for a defense of usury, then in any such event, Lender may, by
written notice to Borrower of not less than ninety (90) days, declare the Obligations immediately
due and payable.

5.1.24 No Credits on Account of the Obligations. Borrower shall not claim or demand
or be entitled to any credit or credits on account of the Obligations for any payment of Taxes
assessed against any Property and no deduction shall otherwise be made or claimed from the assessed
value of any Property for real estate tax purposes because of the Loan Documents or the
Obligations. If Legal Requirements or other laws, orders, requirements or regulations require such
claim, credit or deduction, Lender may, by written notice to Borrower of not less than ninety (90)
days, declare the Obligations immediately due and payable.

5.1.25 Personal Property. Borrower shall cause each Mortgage Borrower to cause all of
its personal property, fixtures, attachments and equipment delivered upon, attached to or used in
connection with the operation of the Property or Properties owned by any such Mortgage Borrower to
always be located at the applicable Property or Properties owned by any such Mortgage Borrower and
shall be kept free and clear of all Liens, encumbrances and security interests, except Permitted
Encumbrances.

5.1.26 Appraisals. Mortgage Lender has the right to obtain a new or updated appraisal
of one or more of the Properties under the terms of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. To the extent
Mortgage Lender elects to obtain a new or updated appraisal of one or more of the Properties,
Borrower shall cause the applicable Mortgage Borrowers to cooperate with Mortgage Lender in this
regard.

 

63

 

5.1.27 Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds. Borrower shall cause each Mortgage Borrower to
deposit and maintain each of the Mortgage Loan Reserve Funds as more particularly set forth in
Article VII of the Mortgage Loan Agreement and to perform and comply with all the terms and
provisions relating thereto.

5.1.28 Notices. Borrower shall give notice, or cause notice to be given to Lender
promptly upon becoming aware of any and all the following:

(a) any Default, Event of Default, Mortgage Loan Default or Mortgage Loan Event of Default;

(b) any litigation or proceeding affecting Borrower, or, to the knowledge of Borrower, pending
or threatened against any of Mortgage Borrowers, or Guarantor, which could materially adversely
affect Borrower’s, any Mortgage Borrower’s or Guarantor’s condition (financial or otherwise) or
business or any Property;

(c) a change in the business, operations, property or financial or other condition or
prospects of Borrower, or, to the knowledge of Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, or Guarantor which
could have a material adverse effect on Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, the ability of Borrower to
perform under the Loan Documents, the ability of Mortgage Borrowers to perform under the Mortgage
Loan Documents or the rights and remedies of Lender under the Loan Documents.

5.1.29 Special Distributions. On each date on which amounts are required to be
disbursed to Lender pursuant to the terms of the Cash Management Agreement or are required to be
paid to Lender under any of the Loan Documents, if such amounts disbursed to Lender are inadequate
to pay all amounts then due and payable hereunder, then Borrower shall exercise its rights under
the Mortgage Borrower Company Agreements to cause the Mortgage Borrowers to make to Borrower
distributions in an aggregate amount such that Lender shall receive the amount required to be paid
to Lender hereunder on such date.

5.1.30 Mortgage Loan Defaults.

(a) Without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Agreement, and without
waiving or releasing Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder, if there shall occur any
Mortgage Loan Event of Default or if Mortgage Lender asserts that a Mortgage Loan Event of Default
has occurred, Borrower hereby expressly agrees that Lender shall have the immediate right, without
notice to or demand on Borrower or Mortgage Borrowers, but shall be under no obligation: (i) to pay
all or any part of the Mortgage Loan, and any other sums, that are then due and payable and to
perform any act or take any action on behalf of Mortgage Borrowers, as may be appropriate, to cause
all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Mortgage Loan Documents on the part of Mortgage
Borrowers to be performed or observed
thereunder to be promptly performed or observed; and (ii) to pay any other amounts and take
any other action as Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall deem advisable to protect or
preserve the rights and interests of Lender in the Loan and/or the Collateral. Lender shall have
no obligation to complete any cure or attempted cure undertaken or commenced by Lender. All sums
so paid and the costs and expenses incurred by Lender in exercising rights under this Section
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and other professional fees), with interest
at the Default Rate, for the period from the date of demand by Lender to Borrower for such payments
to the date of payment to Lender, shall constitute a portion of the Debt, shall be secured by the
Pledge Agreement and shall be due and payable to Lender upon demand therefor.

 

64

 

(b) Subject to the rights of tenants, Borrower hereby grants, and shall cause Mortgage
Borrowers to grant, Lender and any Person designated by Lender the right to enter upon the Property
at any time for the purpose of carrying out the rights granted to Lender under this Section
5.1.30. Borrower shall not, and shall not cause or permit any Mortgage Borrower or any other
Person (other than Mortgage Lender) to impede, interfere with, hinder or delay, any effort or
action on the part of Lender to cure any Mortgage Loan Event of Default or asserted Mortgage Loan
Event of Default, or to otherwise protect or preserve Lender’s interests in the Loan and the
Collateral in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(c) Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all Losses of Lender as a result of
the foregoing actions described in this Section 5.1.30. Lender shall have no obligation to
Borrower or Mortgage Borrowers or any other party to make any such payment or performance.

(d) If Lender shall receive a copy of any notice of a Mortgage Loan Event of Default sent by
Mortgage Lender to Lender or Mortgage Borrowers, such notice shall constitute full protection to
Lender for any action taken or omitted to be taken by Lender, in good faith, in reliance thereon.
As a material inducement to Lender’s making the Loan, Borrower hereby absolutely and
unconditionally release and waive all claims against Lender arising out of Lender’s exercise of its
rights and remedies provided in this Section other than claims arising out of the fraud, illegal
acts, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of Lender.

(e) Any Mortgage Loan Event of Default shall constitute an immediate Event of Default under
this Agreement without any notice, grace or cure period otherwise applicable under this Agreement,
and shall remain as such, regardless of whether such Mortgage Loan Event of Default is cured by
Lender.

(f) In the event that Lender makes any payment in respect of the Mortgage Loan, Lender shall
be subrogated to all of the rights of Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents against any
Property and any Mortgage Borrower in addition to all other rights Lender may have under the Loan
Documents or applicable law.

5.1.31 Mortgage Borrower Covenants. Borrower shall cause each Mortgage Borrower to
comply with all obligations with which such Mortgage Borrower has covenanted to comply under the
Mortgage Loan Agreement and all other Mortgage Loan Documents
(including, without limitation, those certain affirmative and negative covenants set forth in
Article V of the Mortgage Loan Agreement) unless otherwise consented to in writing by Lender.

 

65

 

Section 5.2 Negative Covenants. From the date hereof until payment and performance in
full of the Obligations or the earlier release of the Collateral in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, Borrower hereby covenants and agrees with Lender that
it will not do, directly or indirectly, any of the following:

5.2.1 Operation of Properties. (a) Borrower shall not, without Lender’s prior
consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) cause or permit any Mortgage Borrower
to: (i) subject to Section 9.5, surrender, terminate or cancel any Management Agreement;
provided, that Borrower may or may cause any Mortgage Borrower to, without Lender’s consent,
replace any Manager so long as (x) the replacement manager is a Qualified Manager pursuant to a
Replacement Management Agreement and (y) all Properties removed from the application of the
Management Agreement are made subject to the application of such Replacement Management Agreement;
(ii) reduce or consent to the reduction of the term of any Management Agreement; (iii) increase or
consent to the increase of the amount of any charges or fees under any Management Agreement; or
(iv) otherwise modify, change, supplement, alter or amend, or waive or release any of its rights

restrictions shall not extend to the terms of the Management Agreement with regard to properties
subject to the application of the Management Agreement having owners separate from any Mortgage
Borrower.

(b) Following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrower shall
not cause or permit any Mortgage Borrower to exercise any rights, make any decisions, grant any
approvals or otherwise take any action under any Management Agreement without the prior written

or terminate its organizational documents or its qualification and good standing in any
jurisdiction, or (e) cause Principal or any Mortgage Borrower to (i) dissolve, wind up or liquidate

such Principal would be dissolved, wound up or liquidated in whole or in part, or (ii) unless
required by applicable law, amend, modify, waive or terminate the certificate of limited
partnership or partnership agreement of any Mortgage Borrower or any such Principal, in each case,
without obtaining the prior written consent of Lender.

 

66

other than the ownership of the Collateral nor make any material change in the scope or nature of
its business objectives, purposes or operations, or undertake or participate in activities other

enter into any line of business other than the ownership and operation of the Property or
Properties owned by such Mortgage Borrower, or make any material change in the scope or nature of
its business objectives, purposes or operations, or undertake or participate in activities other

for adequate consideration and in the ordinary course of such Mortgage Borrower’s business.

that could result in such use becoming a non-conforming use under any zoning ordinance or any other
applicable land use law, rule or regulation, in each case, without the prior written consent of
Lender.

5.2.7 No Joint Assessment. Borrower shall not cause or allow any Mortgage Borrower to

evidence from time to time throughout the term of the Loan, as requested by Lender in its sole
discretion, that (i) Borrower is not an “employee benefit plan” as defined in Section 3(3) of

maintaining the value of the Collateral as security for repayment of the Debt and the performance
of the Other Obligations. Borrower acknowledges that Lender has a valid interest in maintaining

68

 

(b) Without the prior written consent of Lender and except to the extent otherwise set forth

and shall not permit any Restricted Party to, (i) sell, convey, mortgage, grant,

therein shall have been fulfilled, such transfer may occur without consent from Lender: (i)
transfers of shares in Cole Credit Property Trust I, Inc. or Cole Credit Property Trust III, Inc.
or (ii) transfers of ownership interests in any Restricted Party and ownership interests in any
member, partner or shareholder of any Restricted Party to any Affiliate or subsidiary of a
Restricted Party, provided that, at all times, Christopher H. Cole, Cole Holdings Corporation, Cole
Credit Property Trust I, Inc. or Cole Credit Property Trust III, Inc. continues to Control the
Restricted Party, provided after giving effect to such transfer, (A) the Person receiving such
interest and each Restricted Party who shall exist following such transfer, shall be able to
satisfy (x) the requirements and representations set forth in Sections 5.2.10(f)(v), (vii)
and (viii) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, and Section 4.1.35 hereof, in each case
mutatis, mutandis and if the individual or individuals who have direct or indirect
Control over the Person to whom such interests are to be 

 

69

 

transferred is someone other than
Christopher H. Cole, such individuals shall
 be reasonably acceptable to Lender and (B) Borrower shall execute, or cause the applicable
Person or Persons to execute, without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements
as Lender may reasonably require to evidence and effectuate said transfer and deliver such legal
opinions as Lender may require, including, without limitation, a pledge substantially in the form
of the Pledge Agreement, a new UCC Title Insurance Policy and a new mezzanine endorsement to the
Owner’s Title Policy, new UCC Financing Statements or amendments to any existing UCC Financing
Statements, new Certificates evidencing the Pledged Company Interests, and any other ancillary
documents substantially similar to the Loan Documents executed on the Closing Date as Lender may
reasonably require, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender. It shall be a condition of
any such transfer specified in the foregoing clause (ii) that Lender shall have received written
confirmation from the parties to the Management Agreement that provides that all Properties, which
are the subject of any such transfer, shall have been removed from the application of such
Management Agreement. Lender agrees that, in connection with any transfer contemplated by the
foregoing clause (ii), Borrower shall have the right to substitute a replacement guarantor
for Guarantor under the Loan Documents, provided that the replacement guarantor (A) shall have a
net worth at least equal to $150,000,000 and liquidity at least equal to $5,000,000, as shown on a
current balance sheet of such replacement guarantor, (B) shall have made the representations and
met the requirements set forth in Sections 4.1.1, 4.1.2, 4.1.3, 4.1.11, 4.1.18, 4.1.37,
4.1.35 hereof and Section 5.2.10(f)(v), (vii) and (viii) of the Mortgage Loan
Agreement, which apply to Guarantor, such that the replacement guarantor shall be deemed to make
such representations and fulfill such requirements, mutatis, mutandis, (C) shall
not have been a party to any bankruptcy proceedings, voluntary or involuntary, made an assignment
for the benefit of creditors or taken advantage of any insolvency act, or any act for the benefit
of debtors within seven (7) years prior to the date of such transfer, (D) shall not be involved in
any pending or threatened material litigation or regulatory action which is not reasonably
acceptable to Lender, and (E) shall not have defaulted under its obligations with respect to any
Indebtedness in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to Lender. Upon the execution and
delivery of any documents necessary to consummate such substitution, the original Guarantor shall
be released from all liability and obligations under the Guaranty, the Environmental Indemnity and
the other Loan Documents with respect to any acts or omissions after any such replacement guarantor
shall have executed and delivered a replacement Guaranty and fulfilled all of the conditions set
forth in the immediately preceding sentence.

(e) Lender shall not be required to demonstrate any actual impairment of its security or any
increased risk of default hereunder in order to declare the Debt immediately due and payable upon a
Transfer without Lender’s consent. This provision shall apply to every Transfer regardless of
whether voluntary or not, or whether or not Lender has consented to any previous Transfer.

 

70

 

(f) In the event Mortgage Borrowers desire to transfer all of the Properties pursuant to
Section 5.2.10(f) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Borrower must provide written notice of such
proposed transfer to Lender contemporaneously with Mortgage Borrowers’ notification of Mortgage
Lender pursuant to Section 5.2.10(f) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, together with such information
concerning the transferee(s) and the transferee(s)’ direct and indirect owners and Affiliates as
Mortgage Borrowers are required to deliver to Mortgage Lender pursuant to Section 5.2.10(f) of the
Mortgage Loan Agreement. Such transferee(s) and the owners of the equity interests in the
transferee(s), who shall replace the Borrower, shall have an
aggregate net worth and liquidity reasonably acceptable to the Lender, and the Lender must
otherwise approve all other aspects of such transfer and the related elements that might affect
Lender’s security interest in such transferee(s) and the owner(s) of equity interests in such
transferee(s). Lender shall have fifteen (15) days from receipt of Borrower’s notice to approve of
or object to the proposed transfer. If Lender objects to the proposed transfer within said fifteen
(15) days, Borrower shall not permit Mortgage Borrowers to transfer the Properties in accordance
with Section 5.2.10(f) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. If Lender fails to respond within said
fifteen (15) days, and Borrower sends a second request for approval containing a legend clearly
marked in not less than fourteen (14) point bold fact type, underlined, in all capital letters
“REQUEST DEEMED APPROVED IF NO RESPONSE WITHIN FIFTEEN (15) DAYS”, Lender shall be deemed to have
approved such transfer of the Properties if Lender fails to respond to such second written request
before expiration of such fifteen (15) day period. Upon a transfer in accordance with Section
5.2.10(f) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Borrower shall execute, or cause the applicable Person or
Persons to execute, without any cost or expense to Lender, such documents and agreements as Lender
may reasonably require to evidence and effectuate said transfer and deliver such legal opinions as
Lender may require, including, without limitation, a pledge substantially in the form of the Pledge
Agreement, a new UCC Title Insurance Policy and a new mezzanine endorsement to the Owner’s Title
Policy, new UCC Financing Statements or amendments to any existing UCC Financing Statements, new
Certificates evidencing the Pledged Company Interests, and any other ancillary documents
substantially similar to the Loan Documents executed on the Closing Date as Lender may reasonably
require, all in form and substance satisfactory to Lender.

5.2.11 REA. With respect to each Property that is subject to an REA, Borrower hereby
covenants and agrees with Lender with respect to such REA to the following:

(a) Borrower shall not permit any applicable Mortgage Borrower, without Lender’s prior written
consent, to materially amend, modify or supplement, or consent to or suffer any material amendment,
modification or supplementation of, such REA except that Lender shall not unreasonably withhold or
delay its consent to any amendment or modification which is not reasonably likely to have a
material adverse affect upon any Mortgage Borrower, any Property that is subject to such REA or
Gross Income from Operations;

(b) Borrower shall not permit any applicable Mortgage Borrower, without the prior written
consent of Lender, as determined in its sole discretion, to take any action to terminate,
surrender, or accept any termination or surrender of, such REA; and

(c) Borrower shall not permit any applicable Mortgage Borrower to assign or encumber its
rights under such REA.

5.2.12 Limitations on Distributions. Following the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, (a) Borrower will cause Mortgage Borrowers to make all equity
distributions directly to Lender and (b) Borrower shall not make any distributions to any Person
holding an equity interest or a collateral interest in Borrower.

 

71

 

5.2.13 Other Limitations. Prior to the payment in full of the Debt, neither Borrower
nor any of its Affiliates shall, without the prior written consent of Lender (which may
be furnished or withheld at its sole and absolute discretion), give its consent or approval to
any of the following actions or items:

(a) except as permitted by this Agreement, permit or cause Mortgage Borrowers to refinance all
or any portion of the Mortgage Loan;

(b) permit or cause Mortgage Borrowers to approve or modify the terms of any Approved Annual
Budget;

(c) except as set forth in an Approved Annual Budget or as expressly permitted herein, permit
or cause any Mortgage Borrower to (i) improve, renovate or refurbish of all or any part of any
Property to a materially higher standard or level than that of comparable properties in the same
market segment and in the same geographical area as such Property, (ii) remove, demolish or
materially alter any of the improvements or equipment on any Property or (iii) materially increase
in the square footage or gross leasable area of the improvements on any Property if a material
portion of any of the expenses in connection therewith are paid or incurred by any Mortgage
Borrower; or

(d) permit or cause any Mortgage Borrower to materially change the method of conduct of the
business of any Mortgage Borrower.

5.2.14 Amendments of Mortgage Borrower Company Agreements. Except for transfers
permitted under Section 5.2.10(d) above, Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any
Mortgage Borrower to join in any action to, or consent to, amend, terminate, cancel or modify any
Mortgage Borrower Company Agreement without the Lender’s prior written consent, provided that in
the case of a transfer permitted under Section 5.2.10(d) above, Borrower and Mortgage
Borrowers shall be permitted to provide for an amendment of the applicable Mortgage Borrower
Company Agreements to reflect an adjustment in the membership interests in any applicable Mortgage
Borrower, but in the case of any such amendments, Borrower shall cause the applicable Mortgage
Borrower to deliver a copy of such executed amendment to Lender (and to the extent there is an
adjustment in the membership interests, as a condition of entering into such amendment Lender shall
receive a revised Certificate reflecting a certificate of equity interest in such Mortgage Borrower
reflecting such adjustment, together with any modifications to the Pledge Agreement, as Lender
shall reasonably require).

5.2.15 Distributions.

(a) Any and all dividends, including capital dividends, stock or liquidating dividends,
distributions of property, redemptions or other distributions made by Mortgage Borrowers to
Borrower on or in respect of its interests in Mortgage Borrowers (other than distributions for the
payment of debt service or any prepayment hereunder), and any and all cash and other property
received in payment of the principal of or in redemption of or in exchange for any such interests
(collectively, the “Distributions”), shall become part of the Collateral and shall remain part of
the Collateral until disbursed by Borrower as distributions to its equity owners. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Lender expressly agrees that Borrower shall be permitted to distribute to its
members any Distributions Borrower receives only upon the express condition that no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing under the Loan.

 

72

 

(b) If any Distributions (including, but not limited to, any Net Liquidation Proceeds After
Debt Service) shall be received by Borrower or any Affiliate of Borrower after the occurrence and
during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable laws,
Borrower shall hold, or shall cause the same to be held, in trust for the benefit of Lender and
same shall be promptly paid to Lender. Any and all revenue derived from the Properties paid
directly by tenants, subtenants or occupants of the Properties shall be held and applied in
accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Agreement.

5.2.16 Refinancing of Mortgage Loan. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to
the contrary, neither Borrower nor any Mortgage Borrower shall be required to obtain the consent of
Lender to refinance the Mortgage Loan, provided that such refinancing occurs after the Lockout
Period and the Loan shall have been (or shall simultaneously be) paid in full in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement (including any prepayment premiums and other amounts due and payable to
Lender under the Loan Documents). Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to obtain the prior
written consent of Lender to enter into any other refinancing of the Mortgage Loan.

5.2.17 Limitation on Securities Issuance. Borrower shall not issue any membership
interests or other securities evidencing an interest in any Mortgage Borrower other than those that
have been issued as of the date hereof.

5.2.18 Acquisition of Loan.

(a) No Loan Party or any Person acting at any such Person’s request or direction, shall
acquire or agree to acquire lenders’ interest in the Mortgage Loan, or any portion thereof or any
interest therein, or any direct or indirect controlling ownership interest in the holder of the
Mortgage Loan, via purchase, transfer, exchange or otherwise, and any breach of this provision
shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder. If, solely by operation of applicable subrogation
law, any of the foregoing Persons shall have failed to comply with the foregoing, then Borrower:
(i) shall immediately notify Lender of such failure; (ii) shall cause any and all such prohibited
parties acquiring any interest in the Mortgage Loan Documents: (A) not to enforce the Mortgage Loan
Documents; and (B) upon the request of Lender, to the extent any of such prohibited parties has or
have the power or authority to do so, to promptly: (1) cancel the promissory note evidencing the
Mortgage Loan, (2) reconvey and release the Lien securing the Mortgage Loan and any other
collateral under the Mortgage Loan Documents, and (3) discontinue and terminate any enforcement
proceeding(s) under the Mortgage Loan Documents.

(b) Lender shall have the right at any time to acquire all or any portion of the Mortgage Loan
or any interest in any holder of, or participant in, the Mortgage Loan without notice or consent of
Borrower or any other Loan Party in which event Lender shall have and may exercise all rights of
Mortgage Lender thereunder (to the extent of its interest), including the right (i) to declare that
the Mortgage Loan is in default, in accordance with the terms thereof and (ii) to accelerate the
Mortgage Loan indebtedness, in accordance with the terms thereof and (iii) to pursue all remedies
against any obligor under the Mortgage Loan Documents, in accordance with the terms thereof.

 

73

 

5.2.19 Material Agreements.

(a) Borrower shall not, and shall not permit any Loan Party to, enter into any Material
Agreement without the consent of Lender not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.
Upon the request of Lender with respect to Material Agreements, Borrower shall, or shall cause the
applicable Loan Party to, deliver to Lender a recognition agreement from such service or material
provider, among other things, providing for such Person’s continued performance should Lender
become the owner of the Collateral. Each such Material Agreement and each recognition agreement
relating thereto, shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Lender in all respects.

(b) Except for renewals of Material Agreements and as specifically set forth herein, Borrower
will not, and will not permit or cause any Loan Party to, unless required by Legal Requirements,
materially amend, modify, supplement, rescind or terminate any Material Agreement, without Lender’s
approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, including the identity
of the party to perform services under such agreement. If a material or service provider under a
Material Agreement is in default in its obligations thereunder to the extent entitling the
applicable Loan Party to rescind or terminate that agreement, then, provided Borrower does not
terminate such agreement, and if Lender so requires, Borrower will, or will cause the applicable
Loan Party to, promptly use all reasonable efforts to terminate that agreement and appoint a new
party in its place, with such identity and terms of appointment approved by Lender.

ARTICLE 6

INSURANCE; CASUALTY; CONDEMNATION; REQUIRED REPAIRS

Section 6.1 Insurance. (a) Borrower shall cause each Mortgage Borrower to maintain
(or cause to be maintained) at all times during the term of the Loan, the Policies required under
Section 6.1 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, including, without limitation, meeting all
insurer requirements thereunder. In addition, Borrower shall cause Lender (and its affiliates) to
be named as mortgagee and additional name insured under each of the Policies described in
Sections 6.1(a)(ii), (vii), (viii), (ix) and (x) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.
In addition, Borrower shall cause Lender (and its affiliates) to be named as mortgagee and loss
payee, together with Mortgage Lender, as their interest may appear, under the Policies required
under Sections 6.1(a)(i), (iii), (iv) and (vi) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Borrower shall also
cause all insurance policies required under this Section 6.1 to provide for at least thirty
(30) days prior notice to Lender in the event of policy cancellation or material changes. Borrower
shall provide Lender with evidence of all such insurance required hereunder on or before the date
on which Mortgage Borrower is required to provide such evidence to Mortgage Lender.

(b) If at any time Lender is not in receipt of written evidence that all insurance required
hereunder is in full force and effect, Lender shall have the right, upon written notice to Borrower
or any Mortgage Borrower, to take such action as Lender deems necessary to protect its interest in
the Collateral and the Properties, as applicable, including, without limitation, the obtaining of
such insurance coverage as Lender in its sole discretion deems appropriate. All premiums incurred
by Lender in connection with such action or in obtaining such insurance and
keeping it in effect shall be paid by Borrower to Lender upon demand and, until paid, shall be
secured by the Pledge Agreement and shall bear interest at the Default Rate.

 

74

 

(c) For purposes of this Agreement, Lender shall have the same approval rights over the
insurance referred to above (including, without limitation, the insurers, deductibles and coverages
thereunder, as well as the right to require other reasonable insurance pursuant to Section
6.1(a)(xi)) as are provided in favor of the Mortgage Lender in the Mortgage Loan Agreement.
All liability insurance provided for in the Mortgage Loan Agreement shall provide insurance with
respect to the liabilities of Mortgage Borrowers and Borrower. The insurance policies delivered
pursuant to the Mortgage Loan Agreement shall include endorsements of the type described in Section
6.1(e) thereof, but pursuant to which Lender shall have the same rights as the Mortgage Lender as
referred to in such Section 6.1(e).

Section 6.2 Casualty and Condemnation.

6.2.1 Casualty. If any Property shall be damaged or destroyed, in whole or in part,
by fire or other casualty (a “Casualty”), Borrower shall (a) give prompt notice of such damage to
Lender if the estimated costs of completing Restoration are equal to or greater than Fifty Thousand
and No/100 Dollars ($50,000.00), and (b) cause the applicable Mortgage Borrower promptly to
commence and diligently prosecute the completion of Restoration so that the damaged Property
resembles, as nearly as possible, the condition that such Property was in immediately prior to such
Casualty, with such alterations as may be reasonably approved by Lender and otherwise in accordance
with Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. Borrower shall pay (or cause to be paid)
all costs of such Restoration whether or not such costs are covered by insurance. Lender may, but
shall not be obligated to make proof of loss if not made promptly by Borrower. In addition, Lender
may participate in any settlement discussions with any insurance companies with respect to any
Casualty in which the Net Proceeds or the costs of completing Restoration are equal to or greater
than Two Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($250,000.00) and Borrower shall deliver to
Lender all instruments required by Lender to permit such participation.

6.2.2 Condemnation. Borrower shall promptly give Lender notice of the actual or
threatened commencement of any proceeding in respect of Condemnation, and shall cause the
applicable Mortgage Borrower to deliver to Lender copies of any and all papers served in connection
with such proceedings. Lender may participate in any such proceedings, and Borrower shall (or
shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to) from time to time deliver to Lender all instruments requested by
Lender to permit such participation. Borrower shall (or shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to), at
their expense, diligently prosecute any such proceedings, and shall consult with Lender, its
attorneys and experts, and cooperate with them in the carrying on or defense of any such
proceedings. Notwithstanding any taking by any public or quasi-public authority through
Condemnation or otherwise (including, but not limited to, any transfer made in lieu of or in
anticipation of the exercise of such taking), Borrower shall continue to perform the Obligations at
the time and in the manner provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the
Outstanding Principal Balance shall not be reduced until any Award shall have been actually
received and applied by Lender, after the deduction of expenses of collection, to the reduction or
discharge of the Obligations. Lender shall not be limited to the interest paid on the Award by the
applicable Governmental Authority but shall be entitled to receive out of the
Award interest at the rate or rates provided herein or in the Note. If any Property or any
portion thereof is taken by a Governmental Authority, Borrower shall cause the Mortgage Borrower
that owns such Property promptly to commence and diligently prosecute Restoration and otherwise
comply with the provisions of Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement. If any Property
is sold, through foreclosure or otherwise, prior to the receipt by Lender of the Award applicable
to such Property, Lender shall have the right, whether or not a deficiency judgment on the Note
shall have been sought, recovered or denied, to receive the Award, or a portion thereof sufficient
to pay the Debt.

 

75

 

Section 6.3 Restoration. Borrower shall, or shall cause the applicable Mortgage
Borrower to, deliver to Lender all reports, plans, specifications, documents and other materials
that are required to be delivered to Mortgage Lender under Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan
Agreement in connection with the Restoration of any Property after a Casualty or Condemnation. If
any Insurance Proceeds or Awards are to be disbursed by Mortgage Lender for restoration, Borrower
shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender copies of all written correspondence delivered to
and received from Mortgage Lender that relates to the restoration and release of the Insurance
Proceeds or Awards. In the event the Mortgage Loan has been paid in full and Lender receives any
Insurance Proceeds or Awards, Lender shall either apply such proceeds to the Debt or for the
restoration of the Properties in accordance with the same terms and conditions contained in
Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement.

Section 6.4 Rights of Lender. For purposes of this Article 6, Borrower shall obtain
the approval of Lender for each matter requiring the approval of Mortgage Lender under the
provisions of Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, with each reference in any such
provisions to the “Loan” to include the Mortgage Loan and the Loan, and the reference in any such
provisions to the “Maturity Date” to mean the Maturity Date, as defined herein. If Mortgage Lender
does not require the deposit by Mortgage Borrower of the Net Proceeds Deficiency pursuant to
Section 6.4(b)(vi) of the Mortgage Loan Agreement, Lender shall have the right to demand that
Borrower make a deposit of the Net Proceeds Deficiency in accordance with the terms of such Section
(as if each reference therein to “Borrower” and “Lender” referred to Borrower and Lender,
respectively). Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 6.4 to the contrary, in the event
that (1) Mortgage Lender’s consent is required for any matter pursuant to Section 6.4 of the
Mortgage Loan Agreement, (2) Mortgage Lender has given such consent and (3) the requirements of
Section 6.4 of the Mortgage Loan Agreement relating to the giving of such consent have not been
materially modified without Lender’s consent, Lender shall not unreasonably withhold its consent to
the same. With respect to any matter requiring the approval of Lender under this Section
6.4, Lender shall be deemed to have approved such matter if Lender fails to respond to any
request for such approval within fifteen (15) days after any such request so long as Borrower
certifies to Lender in such request that Borrower has provided Lender with all of the same
materials that Mortgage Borrower provided Mortgage Lender in connection with Mortgage Borrower’s
request for Mortgage Lender’s consent to such matter.

Loan, Borrower shall cause the related reserve fund balance held by Mortgage Lender to be

(xiii) if any of the factual assumptions relating to the conduct of the Borrower or the
Guarantor prior to the date hereof contained in the Insolvency Opinion delivered to Lender
in connection with the Loan, or in the Additional Insolvency Opinion delivered subsequent to
the closing of the Loan, is or shall become untrue in any material respect;

(xiv) if a material default has occurred and continues beyond any applicable cure
period under any Management Agreement (or any Replacement Management Agreement as the case
may be) and if such default permits the Manager thereunder to remove such Property from the
application of the Management Agreement (or Replacement Management Agreement as the case may

Agreement as the case may be); provided that the foregoing shall not relate to any real
property not owned by any of the Mortgage Borrowers;

(xv) if Borrower shall continue to be in Default under any of the terms, covenants or
conditions of Section 9.1 hereof, or fails to cooperate with Lender in connection

susceptible of cure but cannot reasonably be cured within such period and provided further
that Borrower shall have commenced to cure such Default within such period and thereafter

79

 

(xvii) if there shall be default under any of the other Loan Documents beyond any
applicable notice and cure periods contained in such documents, whether as to Borrower or
the Collateral, or if any other such event shall occur or condition shall exist, if the
effect of such event or condition is to accelerate the maturity of any portion of the Debt

(xviii) if any Property becomes subject to any mechanic’s, materialman’s or other Lien,

clauses (vii) or (viii) above) and at any time thereafter, while such Event of
Default is continuing, in addition to any other rights or remedies available to it pursuant to this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents or at law or in equity but subject to Section 9.4,
Lender may take such action, without notice or demand, that Lender deems advisable to protect and
enforce its rights against Borrower and in and to the Collateral, including, without limitation,
declaring the Obligations to be immediately due and payable, and Lender may enforce or avail itself
of any or all rights or remedies provided in the Loan Documents and may exercise all the rights and
remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, as adopted by the State or States
where any of the Collateral is located against Borrower and the Collateral, including, without
limitation, all rights or remedies available at law or in equity; and upon any Event of Default
described in clauses (vii) or (viii) above, the Debt and all Other Obligations of
Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall immediately and automatically become
due and payable, without notice or demand, and Borrower hereby expressly waives any such notice or
demand, anything contained herein or in any other Loan Document to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 8.2 Remedies. (a) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
of Default, subject to Section 9.4, all or any one or more of the rights, powers,
privileges and other remedies available to Lender against Borrower under this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents executed and delivered by, or applicable to, Borrower or at law or in
equity may be exercised by Lender at any time and from time to time, whether or not all or any
of the Debt shall be declared due and payable, and whether or not Lender shall have commenced
any foreclosure proceeding or other action for the enforcement of its rights and remedies under any
of the Loan Documents with respect to all or any part of the Collateral. Subject to Section
9.4, any such actions taken by Lender shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be pursued
independently, singularly, successively, together or otherwise, at such time and in such order as
Lender may determine in its sole discretion, to the fullest extent permitted by law, without
impairing or otherwise affecting the other rights and remedies of Lender permitted by law, equity
or contract or as set forth herein or in the other Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, Borrower agrees that if an Event of Default is continuing and to the fullest
extent permitted by law (i) Lender shall not be subject to any “one action” or “election of
remedies” law or rule, and (ii) all liens and other rights, remedies or privileges provided to
Lender shall remain in full force and effect until Lender has exhausted all of its remedies against
the Collateral and the Collateral has been foreclosed, sold and/or otherwise realized upon in
satisfaction of the Debt or the Obligations have been paid in full.

 

80

 

(b) With respect to Borrower and the Collateral, nothing contained herein or in any other Loan
Document shall be construed as requiring Lender to resort to any portion of the Collateral for the
satisfaction of any of the Debt in any preference or priority to any other portion of the
Collateral, and Lender may seek satisfaction out of all of the Collateral, or any part thereof, in
its absolute discretion in respect of the Debt. In addition, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, Lender shall have the right from time to time to partially foreclose upon the Collateral in
any manner and for any amounts secured by the Pledge Agreement then due and payable as determined
by Lender in its sole discretion including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i)
in the event Borrower defaults beyond any applicable grace period in the payment of one or more
scheduled payments of principal and interest, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral to recover
such delinquent payments or (ii) in the event Lender elects to accelerate less than the entire
Outstanding Principal Balance, Lender may foreclose upon the Collateral to recover so much of the
principal balance of the Loan as Lender may accelerate and such other sums secured by the
Collateral as Lender may elect. Notwithstanding one or more partial foreclosures, the Collateral
shall remain subject to the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents to secure payment of sums
secured by such Pledge Agreement and such other Loan Documents and not previously recovered. If
Lender’s exercise of any of its remedies under this Section 8.2 results in any transfer
taxes, impositions or similar payment imposed by a Governmental Authority with respect to the sale
or transfer of any of the Pledged Company Interests, then Borrower shall be liable for the full
payment of any such taxes, imposition or similar payment.

(c) Lender shall have the right from time to time to sever the Note and the other Loan
Documents into one or more separate notes, pledges and other security documents (the “Severed Loan
Documents”) in such denominations as Lender shall determine in its sole discretion for purposes of
evidencing and enforcing its rights and remedies provided hereunder. Borrower shall execute and
deliver to Lender from time to time, promptly after the request of Lender, a severance agreement
and such other documents as Lender shall request in order to effect the severance described in the
preceding sentence, all in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender and provided that
such severance agreement and other documents incorporate the provisions of Section 9.4.
Borrower hereby absolutely and irrevocably appoints Lender as its true and lawful attorney, coupled
with an interest, in its name and stead to make
and execute all documents necessary or desirable to effect the aforesaid severance, Borrower
ratifying all that its said attorney shall do by virtue thereof; provided, however,
Lender shall not make or execute any such documents under such power until ten (10) days after
notice has been given to Borrower by Lender of Lender’s intent to exercise its rights under such
power. Except as may be required in connection with a Securitization pursuant to Section
9.1 hereof, (i) Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in
connection with the preparation, execution, recording or filing of the Severed Loan Documents, and
(ii) the Severed Loan Documents shall not contain any representations, warranties or covenants not
contained in the Loan Documents and any such representations and warranties contained in the
Severed Loan Documents will be given by Borrower only as of the Closing Date.

 

81

 

(d) Intentionally omitted.

(e) Any amounts recovered from the Collateral after an Event of Default may be applied by
Lender toward the payment of any interest and/or principal amount of the Loan and/or any other
amounts due under the Loan Documents in such order, priority and proportions as Lender in its sole
discretion shall determine.

(f) If an Event of Default exists, Lender may (directly or by its agents, employees,
contractors, engineers, architects, nominees, attorneys or other representatives), but without any
obligation to do so and without notice to Borrower and without releasing Borrower from any
obligation hereunder, cure the Event of Default in such manner and to such extent as Lender may
deem necessary to protect the security hereof. Subject to tenants rights under the Leases,
Borrower shall cause each Mortgage Borrower to permit Lender (and its agents, employees,
contractors, engineers, architects, nominees, attorneys or other representatives) to enter upon
each of the Properties for such purposes, or appear in, defend, or bring any action or proceeding
reasonably necessary to maintain, secure or other otherwise protect its interest in one or more of
the Properties for such purposes.

(g) Lender may appear in and defend any action or proceeding brought with respect to the
Collateral or any Property and may bring any action or proceeding in the name and on behalf of
Borrower, which Lender, in its reasonable discretion, decides should be brought to protect its
interest in the Collateral or one or more of the Properties.

(h) The rights, powers and remedies of Lender under this Agreement shall be cumulative and,
subject to Section 9.4, not exclusive of any other right, power or remedy which Lender may
have against Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or existing at law or
in equity or otherwise. Lender’s rights, powers and remedies may be pursued singularly,
concurrently or otherwise, at such time and in such order as Lender may determine in Lender’s sole
discretion. No delay or omission to exercise any remedy, right or power accruing upon an Event of
Default shall impair any such remedy, right or power or shall be construed as a waiver thereof, but
any such remedy, right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient. A waiver of one Default or Event of Default with respect to Borrower shall not be
construed to be a waiver of any subsequent Default or Event of Default by Borrower or to impair any
remedy, right or power consequent thereon.

ARTICLE 9

SPECIAL PROVISIONS

Section 9.1 Sale of Notes and Securitization. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that
Lender may sell all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents, or issue one or more
participations therein, or consummate one or more private or public securitizations of rated
single- or multi-class securities (the “Securities”) secured by or evidencing ownership interests
in all or any portion of the Loan and the Loan Documents or a pool of assets that include the Loan
and the Loan Documents (such sales, participations and/or securitizations, collectively, a
“Securitization”). At the request of Lender, and to the extent not already required to be provided
by Borrower under this Agreement, Borrower shall use reasonable efforts to provide information not
in the possession of Lender or which may be reasonably required by Lender or take other actions
reasonably required by Lender, in each case in order to satisfy the market standards to which
Lender customarily adheres or which may be reasonably required by prospective investors and/or the
Rating Agencies in connection with any such Securitization including, without limitation, to use
reasonable efforts to:

(a) provide or cause each Mortgage Borrower to provide additional and/or updated Provided
Information, together with appropriate verification and/or consents related to the Provided
Information through letters of auditors or opinions of counsel of independent attorneys reasonably
acceptable to Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies;

Agencies, and work with, and if requested, supervise, third-party service providers engaged by
Borrower and approved by Lender, Principal and their respective Affiliates to obtain, collect, and
deliver information requested or required by Lender, prospective investors and/or the Rating
Agencies;

(c) deliver (i) updated opinions of counsel as to non-consolidation, due execution and
enforceability with respect to the Properties, Borrower, Principal, Mortgage Borrowers, Guarantor
and their respective Affiliates and the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, a so-called
“10b-5” opinion and (ii) revised organizational documents for Borrower, which counsel opinions and
organizational documents shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender, prospective investors and/or
the Rating Agencies;

(d) if required by any prospective investor and/or any Rating Agency, use commercially
reasonable efforts to deliver such additional tenant estoppel letters, subordination agreements or
other agreements from parties to agreements that affect the Properties, which estoppel letters,
subordination agreements or other agreements shall be reasonably satisfactory to Lender,
prospective investors and/or the Rating Agencies;

(e) make such representations and warranties as of the closing date of the Securitization with
respect to the Collateral, the Properties, Borrower, Mortgage Borrowers Principal, Guarantor and
the Loan Documents as may be reasonably requested by Lender, prospective investors and/or the
Rating Agencies and consistent with the facts covered by such
representations and warranties as they exist on the date thereof, including the
representations and warranties made in the Loan Documents;

 

83

 

(f) execute such amendments to the Loan Documents as may be requested by Lender, prospective
investors and/or the Rating Agencies to effect the Securitization and/or deliver one or more new
component notes to replace the original note or modify the original note to reflect multiple
components of the Loan (and such new notes or modified note shall have the same initial weighted
average coupon of the original note, but such new notes or modified note may change the interest
rate and amortization of the Loan), and modify or cause Mortgage Borrowers to modify the Cash
Management Agreement (provided a modification of the Cash Management Agreement will only by
required if Mortgage Lender agrees to such modification) with respect to the newly created
components such that the pricing and marketability of the Securities and the size of each class of
Securities and the rating assigned to each such class by the Rating Agencies shall provide the most
favorable rating levels and achieve the optimum rating levels for the Loan; provided that, no such
amendment shall (i) modify or amend any material economic term of the Loan (except as permitted
under Section 9.8 below), or (ii) materially increase the obligations, or decrease the
rights, of Borrower under the Loan Documents;

(g) if requested by Lender, review any information regarding the Collateral, the Properties,
Borrower, Guarantor, the Mortgage Borrowers, the Manager and the Loan which is contained in a
preliminary or final private placement memorandum, prospectus, prospectus supplement (including any
amendment or supplement to either thereof), or other disclosure document to be used by Lender or
any Affiliate thereof; and

(h) supply to Lender such documentation, financial statements and reports in form and
substance required in order to comply with any applicable securities laws.

All reasonable third party costs and expenses incurred by Borrower or Lender in connection
with Borrower’s complying with requests made under this Section 9.1 (including, without
limitation, the fees and expenses of the Rating Agencies) shall be paid by Borrower.

Section 9.2 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 9.3 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 9.4 Exculpation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, the Note, the Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents but subject to the
qualifications below, Lender shall not enforce the liability and obligation of Borrower to perform
and observe the obligations contained in the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement or the
other Loan Documents by any action or proceeding wherein a money judgment shall be sought against
Borrower, except that Lender may bring a foreclosure action, an action for specific performance or
any other appropriate action or proceeding to enable Lender to enforce and realize upon its
interest under the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, or in
the Collateral, or any other collateral given to Lender pursuant to the Loan Documents;
provided, however, that, except as specifically provided herein, any judgment in
any such action or proceeding shall be enforceable against Borrower

 

84

 

only
to the extent of Borrower’s interest in the Collateral and in any other collateral given to Lender, and Lender,
by accepting the Note, this Agreement, the Pledge Agreement and the other Loan Documents, agrees
that it shall not sue for, seek or demand any deficiency judgment against Borrower in any such
action or proceeding under, or by reason of, or in connection with, the Note, this Agreement, the
Pledge Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The provisions of this Section 9.4 shall
not, however, (a) constitute a waiver, release or impairment of any obligation evidenced or secured
by any of the Loan Documents; (b) impair the right of Lender to name Borrower as a party defendant
in any action or suit for foreclosure and sale under the Pledge Agreement; (c) affect the validity
or enforceability of or any Guaranty made in connection with the Loan or any of the rights and
remedies of Lender thereunder; (d) impair the right of Lender to obtain the appointment of a
receiver; (e) constitute a prohibition against Lender seeking a deficiency judgment against
Borrower in order to fully realize the security granted by the Pledge Agreement or commencing any
other appropriate action or proceeding in order for Lender to exercise its remedies against the
Collateral; or (f) constitute a waiver of the right of Lender to enforce the liability and
obligation of Borrower, by money judgment or otherwise, to the extent of any loss, damage, cost,
expense, liability, claim or other obligation incurred by Lender (including attorneys’ fees and
costs reasonably incurred) arising out of or in connection with the following:

(i) fraud or willful misrepresentation by or on behalf of Borrower or Guarantor or any
Affiliate of any of them in connection with the Loan or any of the Properties or the
Collateral;

(ii) the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower,
Guarantor or any Affiliate of any of them in connection with the Loan, the Mortgage Loan or
any of the Properties or Collateral;

(iii) the breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or indemnification provision
in the Environmental Indemnity, this Agreement or the Mortgages concerning Environmental

(iv) wrongful removal or destruction of the Collateral, any portion of any of the
Properties or any physical waste of any of the Properties by or on behalf of Borrower, any
Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliate of any of them;

(v) the breach of any Legal Requirement (including, without limitation, RICO) mandating

of any Property or Properties owned by such Mortgage Borrower or any portion thereof, in any
case because of the conduct or purported conduct of criminal activity by Borrower or any
Restricted Party in connection therewith;

(vi) intentionally omitted;

(vii) the misapplication or conversion by or on behalf of Borrower or any Mortgage
Borrower of (A) any Net Liquidation Proceeds After Debt Service or Insurance Proceeds paid
by reason of any Casualty, (B) any Awards received in connection with a Condemnation, (C)
any Rents collected during the continuance of an
Event of Default, (D) any Rents paid more than one (1) month in advance, or (E) any
distribution of Rent by any Mortgage Borrower to Borrower;

 

85

 

(viii) the failure to pay charges for labor or materials or other charges incurred by
or on behalf of Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, Guarantor or any Affiliate of any of them
that can create Liens on one or all of the Properties (including any portion thereof) to the
extent such Liens are not bonded over or discharged in accordance with the Mortgage Loan
Agreement or the other Mortgage Loan Documents;

(ix) the failure of any security deposits, advance deposits or any other deposits
collected with respect to any of the Properties to be delivered to Lender upon a foreclosure
of one or more of the Properties or action in lieu thereof, except to the extent any such
security deposits were applied in accordance with the terms and conditions of any of the
Leases prior to the occurrence of the Event of Default that gave rise to such foreclosure or
action in lieu thereof;

(x) the failure of Borrower to maintain its status as a Single Purpose Entity; or

(xi) any failure by Borrower to pay any applicable transfer taxes, impositions or
similar payment imposed by a Governmental Authority in connection with any foreclosure sale,
or transfer in lieu of foreclosure, of all or any portion of the Collateral which would
otherwise be payable by Lender or any transferee taking title to any such Collateral in
connection with the implementation of such actions.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Note or any of the Loan
Documents, (A) Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any right which Lender may have under
Section 506(a), 506(b), 1111(b) or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to file a claim
for the full amount of the Debt secured by the Pledge Agreement or to require that all collateral
shall continue to secure all of the Obligations in accordance with the Loan Documents, and (B)

Borrower or any Mortgage Borrower filing a voluntary petition under the Bankruptcy Code or any
other federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (b) the filing by any Person of an involuntary
petition against Borrower or any Mortgage Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code or any other Federal

colluding to arrange and thereafter filing an answer consenting to or otherwise acquiescing in or
joining in any involuntary petition filed against it, by any other Person under the Bankruptcy Code
or any other Federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency law; (d) Borrower or any Mortgage Borrower

Lender’s prior written consent to any Indebtedness or voluntary Lien encumbering any Property to
the extent required by this
Agreement or the Mortgages; or (4) if Borrower or any Mortgage Borrower fails to obtain
Lender’s prior written consent to any Transfer, to the extent required by this Agreement or the
Mortgages.

 

86

 

Section 9.5 Matters Concerning Manager. (a) If (i) at any time, the Debt Service
Coverage Ratio for the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period is less than 1.10 to 1.0
other than solely as a result of Market Conditions, (ii) an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, (iii) the applicable Manager shall become bankrupt or insolvent, (iv) a material
default occurs by the Manager under the applicable Management Agreement beyond any applicable grace
and cure periods, or (v) Manager commits gross negligence, malfeasance or willful misconduct,
Borrower shall, at the request of Lender, cause the Mortgage Borrowers to remove the Properties
from the application of the Management Agreement and replace the applicable Manager with a manager
unaffiliated with Manager, Borrower, any Mortgage Borrower, Principal, Guarantor or any Person
controlling Manager, Borrower, Principal, any Mortgage Borrower or Guarantor approved by Lender,
who shall enter into a new management agreement (that will apply to such Properties) on terms and
conditions satisfactory to Lender, it being understood and agreed that the management fee for such
replacement manager shall not exceed then prevailing market rates.

(b) The fees payable to the Manager shall not exceed the fees set out in Section 5.1 and 5.2
of the Management Agreement, together with the other fees in respect of the Properties managed by
such Manager, from time to time required to be paid under the Management Agreement with respect to
the applicable Properties, which other fees shall not exceed the fees previously paid with respect
to such Properties under the Management Agreement without first obtaining the written approval of
Lender to such increased fees.

Section 9.6 Servicer. (a) At the option of Lender, the Loan may be serviced by a
servicer/trustee (the “Servicer”) selected by Lender and Lender may delegate all or any portion of
its responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to the Servicer pursuant to
a servicing agreement (the “Servicing Agreement”) between Lender and Servicer. Borrower shall be
responsible for its pro rata share of any reasonable set-up fees or any other initial costs
relating to or arising under the Servicing Agreement; Borrower shall not be responsible for payment
of the monthly servicing fee due to the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Borrowers
shall pay (i) any liquidation fees that may be due to Servicer under the Servicing Agreement in
connection with the exercise of any or all remedies permitted under this Agreement, (ii) any
workout fees and special servicing fees that may be due to Servicer under the Servicing Agreement,
which fees shall be due and payable by Borrowers on a periodic or continuing basis in accordance
with the Servicing Agreement, and (iii) the costs of all property inspections and/or appraisals of
the Properties (or any updates to any existing inspection or appraisal) required under the
Agreement or that a Servicer may otherwise require under the Servicing Agreement (other than the
cost of annual inspections required to be borne by Servicer under the Servicing Agreement).

 

87

 

(b) Lender, or any Servicer selected by Lender in accordance with this Section 9.6,
acting solely for this purpose as the non-fiduciary agent of Borrower (in such capacity, “Agent”),
may maintain a register (the “Note Register”). If Agent maintains a Note Register
then therein it will record the names and addresses of, and wire transfer instructions for,
the Lender and any Person subsequently acquiring any direct interest in the Note (each a “Holder”).
If it maintains a Note Register, upon the sale or transfer of a direct interest in the Note or
portion thereof, (i) the transferring Holder shall inform the Agent in writing that such transfer
has taken place and provide the Agent with the name, address, wiring instructions and tax
identification number of the transferee and (ii) the Agent will record such information in the Note
Register. Any Person in whose name the Note or interest therein is so registered shall be deemed
and treated as the sole owner and Holder thereof for all purposes of this Agreement. If Agent
maintains a Note Register, no transfer of a direct interest in the Note or portion thereof shall be
effective unless it has been recorded in the Note Register pursuant to this Section 9.6(b).
If Agent maintains a Note Register, the Agent shall promptly provide the names and addresses of
the Holder or Holders to any other party hereto or any successor Holder or Holders upon written
request and any such Person may, without further investigation, conclusively rely upon such
information. The Agent shall have no liability to any Person for the provision of any such names
and addresses.

Section 9.7 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 9.8 Restructuring of Loan.

(a) Lender, without in any way limiting Lender’s other rights hereunder, in its sole and
absolute discretion, shall have the right at any time prior to a Securitization to require Borrower
to restructure the Loan into additional multiple notes (which may include component notes and/or
senior and junior notes) and/or to create participation interests in the Loan; provided that (i)
the total principal amount of the Loan shall equal the total principal amount of the Loan
immediately prior to the restructuring and (ii) except in the case of the occurrence of an Event of
Default or of a Casualty or Condemnation that results in the payment of principal under the Loan,
the debt service payments on the Loan shall equal the debt service payments which would have been
payable under the Loan had the restructuring not occurred.

(b) Prior to the sale of the Loan Documents in connection with a Securitization, Borrower
shall cooperate with all reasonable requests of Lender in order to restructure the Loan and shall,
upon ten (10) Business Days written notice from Lender, which notice shall include the forms of
documents for which Lender is requesting execution and delivery, (i) execute and deliver such
documents, provided that such documents are on substantially the same terms and conditions as the
Loan Documents and (ii) cause Borrower’s counsel to deliver such legal opinions as are comparable
to the legal opinions delivered by Borrower’s counsel with respect to the Loan, as, in each of the
cases of clauses (i) and (ii) above, shall be reasonably required by Lender and
required by any Rating Agency in connection therewith, all in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Lender, including, without limitation, the severance of this Agreement, the Pledge
Agreement and the other Loan Documents if requested.

(c) Except as may be required in connection with a Securitization pursuant to Section
9.1 hereof, Borrower shall not be obligated to pay any costs or expenses incurred in connection
with any such restructuring as set forth in this Section 9.8, other than Borrower’s legal
fees up to $25,000.

ARTICLE 10

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 10.1 Survival. This Agreement and all covenants, agreements, representations
and warranties made herein and in the certificates delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the
making by Lender of the Loan and the execution and delivery to Lender of the Note, and shall

conclusive. Whenever this Agreement expressly provides that Lender may not withhold its consent or
its approval of an arrangement or term, such provisions shall also be deemed to prohibit Lender

Section 10.7 Trial by Jury. BORROWER HEREBY AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF
ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY JURY, AND WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT
ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER EXIST WITH REGARD TO THE LOAN DOCUMENTS, OR ANY CLAIM,
COUNTERCLAIM OR OTHER ACTION ARISING IN CONNECTION THEREWITH. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY IS GIVEN KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY BY BORROWER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH
INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. LENDER IS
HEREBY AUTHORIZED TO FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH IN ANY PROCEEDING AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS
WAIVER BY BORROWER.

Section 10.8 Headings. The Article and/or Section headings and the Table of Contents
in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a
part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

Section 10.9 Severability. Wherever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall
be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision
shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the
remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Section 10.10 Preferences. Lender shall have the continuing and exclusive right to
apply or reverse and reapply any and all payments made by Borrower to any portion of the Debt
provided such reapplication is consistent with the provisions of this Agreement. To the extent
Borrower makes a payment or payments to Lender, which payment or proceeds or any part thereof are
subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or
required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party under any bankruptcy law,
state or federal law, common law or equitable cause, then, to the extent of such payment or
proceeds received, the Obligations hereunder or part thereof intended to be satisfied shall be
revived and continue in full force and effect, as if such payment or proceeds had not been received
by Lender.

 

92

 

Section 10.11 Waiver of Notice. Borrower hereby expressly waives, and shall not be
entitled to any notices of any nature whatsoever from Lender except with respect to matters for
which this Agreement or the other Loan Documents specifically and expressly provide for the giving
of notice by Lender to Borrower and except with respect to matters for which Borrower is not,
pursuant to applicable Legal Requirements, permitted to waive the giving of notice.

Section 10.12 Remedies of Borrower. In the event that a claim or adjudication is made
that Lender or its agents have acted unreasonably or unreasonably delayed acting in any case where
by law or under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, Lender or such agent, as the case may
be, has an obligation to act reasonably or promptly, Borrower agrees that neither Lender nor its
agents shall be liable for any monetary damages, and Borrower’s sole remedies shall be limited to
commencing an action seeking injunctive relief or declaratory judgment. The parties hereto agree
that any action or proceeding to determine whether Lender has acted reasonably shall be determined
by an action seeking declaratory judgment. Further it is agreed Lender shall not be in default
under this Agreement, or under any other Loan Document, unless a written notice specifically
setting forth the claim of Borrower shall have been given to Lender within sixty (60) days after
Borrower first had knowledge of the occurrence of the event which Borrower alleges gave rise to
such claim and Lender does not remedy or cure the default, if any there be, promptly thereafter.

Section 10.13 Expenses; Indemnity. (a) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay or, if
Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse, Lender upon receipt of notice from Lender for all reasonable
costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) incurred by Lender in
connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and
all the costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including, without limitation,
any opinions reasonably requested by Lender as to any legal matters arising under this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents with respect to the Properties); (ii) Borrower’s ongoing performance of
and compliance with Borrower’s respective agreements and covenants contained in this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents on its part to be performed or complied with after the Closing Date,
including, without limitation, confirming compliance with environmental and insurance requirements;
(iii) the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and administration of any consents,
amendments, waivers or other modifications to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents requested
by Borrower or otherwise required hereunder and any other documents or matters requested by
Borrower or otherwise required hereunder; (iv) securing Borrower’s compliance with any requests
made pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement; (v) the filing and recording fees and expenses,
title insurance and reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for providing to Lender all reasonably
required legal opinions, and other similar expenses incurred in creating and perfecting the Liens
in favor of Lender pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (vi) subject to
Section 9.4 hereof, enforcing or preserving any

 

93

 

rights, either in response to third party
claims or in prosecuting or defending any action or proceeding or other litigation, in each case against, under or affecting Borrower,
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, any of the Properties, or any other security given for
the Loan; and (vii) subject to Section 9.4 hereof, enforcing any Obligations of or
collecting any payments due from Borrower under this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or with
respect to any Property or in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit
arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a “work-out” or of any insolvency or
bankruptcy proceedings; provided, however, that Borrower shall not be liable for the payment of any
such costs and expenses to the extent the same arise by reason of the gross negligence, illegal
acts, fraud or willful misconduct of Lender. Any cost and expenses due and payable to Lender may
be paid from any amounts in the Lockbox Account. It is further acknowledged that to the extent any
of the foregoing costs and expenses are incurred by Lender in connection with a restructuring of
the Loan pursuant to Sections 9.8(a) and (b) above, then the payment by Borrower of
such costs and expenses under this Section 10.13 shall be subject to the provisions of
Section 9.8(c).

(b) Subject to Section 9.4 hereof, Borrower shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless
Lender from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature
whatsoever (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for
Lender in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding commenced or
threatened, whether or not Lender shall be designated a party thereto), that may be imposed on,
incurred by, or asserted against Lender in any manner relating to or arising out of (i) any
material breach by Borrower of its Obligations under, or any material misrepresentation by Borrower
contained in, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or (ii) the use or intended use of the
proceeds of the Loan (collectively, the “Indemnified Liabilities”); provided,
however, that Borrower shall not have any obligation to Lender hereunder to the extent that
such Indemnified Liabilities arise from the gross negligence, illegal acts, fraud or willful
misconduct of Lender. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law or public
policy, Borrower shall pay the maximum portion that Borrower is permitted to pay and satisfy under
applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by Lender.

(c) Borrower covenants and agrees to pay for or, if Borrower fails to pay, to reimburse Lender
for, any reasonable fees and expenses incurred by any Rating Agency in connection with any Rating
Agency review of the Loan, the Loan Documents or any transaction contemplated thereby or any
consent, approval, waiver or confirmation obtained from such Rating Agency pursuant to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and Lender shall be entitled to require
payment of such fees and expenses as a condition precedent to the obtaining of any such consent,
approval, waiver or confirmation.

Section 10.14 Schedules Incorporated. The Schedules annexed hereto are hereby
incorporated herein as a part of this Agreement with the same effect as if set forth in the body
hereof.

 

94

 

Section 10.15 Offsets, Counterclaims and Defenses. Any assignee of Lender’s interest
in and to this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents shall take the same free and clear
of all offsets, counterclaims or defenses which are unrelated to such documents which
Borrower may otherwise have against any assignor of such documents, and no such unrelated
counterclaim or defense shall be interposed or asserted by Borrower in any action or proceeding
brought by any such assignee upon such documents and any such right to interpose or assert any such
unrelated offset, counterclaim or defense in any such action or proceeding is hereby expressly
waived by Borrower.

Section 10.16 No Joint Venture or Partnership; No Third Party Beneficiaries. (a)
Borrower and Lender intend that the relationships created hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents be solely that of borrower and lender. Nothing herein or therein is intended to create a
joint venture, partnership, tenancy-in-common, or joint tenancy relationship between Borrower and
Lender nor to grant Lender any interest in any of the Properties other than that of mortgagee,
beneficiary or lender.

(b) This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are solely for the benefit of Lender and
Borrower and nothing contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to
confer upon anyone other than Lender and Borrower any right to insist upon or to enforce the
performance or observance of any of the obligations contained herein or therein. All conditions to
the obligations of Lender to make the Loan hereunder are imposed solely and exclusively for the
benefit of Lender and no other Person shall have standing to require satisfaction of such
conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled to assume that Lender will refuse to make
the Loan in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall
under any circumstances be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any or all of which may
be freely waived in whole or in part by Lender if, in Lender’s sole discretion, Lender deems it
advisable or desirable to do so.

Section 10.17 Publicity. All news releases, publicity or advertising by Borrower or
any of Borrower’s Affiliates through any media intended to reach the general public which refers to
the Loan Documents or the financing evidenced by the Loan Documents, to Lender or any of its
Affiliates shall be subject to the prior approval of Lender.

Section 10.18 Waiver of Marshalling of Assets. To the fullest extent permitted by
law, Borrower, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the
assets of Borrower, Borrower’s partners and others with interests in Borrower, and of any of the
Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of one or more
of the Mortgages, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling
of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of
estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of
Lender under the Loan Documents to a sale of any Property for the collection of the Debt without
any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Lender to the payment of the Debt
out of the net proceeds of the Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

Section 10.19 Waiver of Counterclaim. Borrower hereby waives the right to assert a
counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it
by Lender or its agents.

 

95

 

Section 10.20 Conflict; Construction of Documents; Reliance. In the event of any
conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any of the other Loan Documents, the
provisions of this Agreement shall control. The parties hereto acknowledge that they were
represented by competent counsel in connection with the negotiation, drafting and execution of the
Loan Documents and that such Loan Documents shall not be subject to the principle of construing
their meaning against the party which drafted same. Borrower acknowledges that, with respect to
the Loan, Borrower shall rely solely on its own judgment and advisors in entering into the Loan
without relying in any manner on any statements, representations or recommendations of Lender or
any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender. Lender shall not be subject to any limitation
whatsoever in the exercise of any rights or remedies available to it under any of the Loan
Documents or any other agreements or instruments which govern the Loan by virtue of the ownership
by it or any parent, subsidiary or Affiliate of Lender of any equity interest any of them may
acquire in Borrower, and Borrower hereby irrevocably waives the right to raise any defense or take
any action on the basis of the foregoing with respect to Lender’s exercise of any such rights or
remedies. Borrower acknowledges that Lender engages in the business of real estate financings and
other real estate transactions and investments which may be viewed as adverse to or competitive
with the business of Borrower or its Affiliates.

Section 10.21 Brokers and Financial Advisors. Each party hereby represents to the
other that it has dealt with no financial advisors, brokers, underwriters, placement agents, agents
or finders in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each party agrees
to indemnify, defend and hold the other harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities,
costs and expenses of any kind (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) in any way
relating to or arising from a claim by any Person that such Person acted on behalf of such party in
connection with the transactions contemplated herein. The provisions of this Section 10.21
shall survive the expiration and termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Debt.

Section 10.22 Prior Agreements. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents contain
the entire agreement of the parties hereto and thereto in respect of the transactions contemplated
hereby and thereby, and all prior agreements among or between such parties, whether oral or
written, including, without limitation, the Loan Application and Term Sheet dated January 27, 2010
(the “Loan Application”) between Guarantor and Mortgage Lender are superseded by the terms of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 10.23 Cumulative Rights. All of the rights of Lender under this Agreement and
under each of the other Loan Documents and any other agreement now or hereafter executed in
connection herewith or therewith, shall be cumulative and may be exercised singly, together, or in
such combination as Lender may determine in its sole judgment.

Section 10.24 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts,
each of which when executed and delivered is an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one instrument. In making proof of this Agreement, it shall not be necessary to produce
or account for more than one such counterpart which is executed by the party against whom
enforcement of this Agreement is sought.

Section 10.25 Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence of each provision of
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

 

96

 

Section 10.26 Consent of Holder or Agent. Wherever this Agreement refers to Lender’s
consent or discretion or other rights, such references to Lender shall be deemed to refer to any
holder of the Loan. The holder of the Loan may from time to time appoint a trustee or servicing
agent, and Borrower shall be entitled to rely upon written instructions executed by a purported
officer of the holder of the Loan as to the extent of authority delegated to any such trustee or
servicing agent from time to time and determinations made by such trustee or servicing agent to the
extent identified as within the delegated authority of such trustee or servicing agent, unless and
until such instructions are superseded by further written instructions from the holder of the Loan.

Section 10.27 Successor Laws. Any reference in this Agreement to any statute or
regulation shall be deemed to include any successor statute or regulation.

Section 10.28 Reliance on Third Parties. Lender may perform any of its
responsibilities hereunder through one or more agents, attorneys or independent contractors. In
addition, Lender may conclusively rely upon the advice or determinations of any such agents,
attorneys or independent contractors in performing any discretionary function under the terms of
this Agreement.

Section 10.29 Direction of Mortgage Borrowers. Borrower and Lender hereby acknowledge
and agree that, as to any clauses or provisions contained in this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents to the effect that (i) Borrower shall cause Mortgage Borrowers to act or to refrain
from acting in any manner or (ii) Borrower shall cause to occur or not to occur, or otherwise be
obligated in any manner with respect to, any matters pertaining to Mortgage Borrowers or the
Properties, or (iii) other similar effect, such clause or provision, in each case, is intended to
mean, and shall be construed as meaning, that Borrower has undertaken to act and is obligated to
act only in Borrower’s capacity as the direct or indirect holder of all of the equity interests in
Mortgage Borrowers but not directly with respect to Mortgage Borrowers or the Properties or in any
other manner which would violate any of the covenants contained in Section 4.1.30 hereof or
other similar covenants contained in Borrower’s organizational documents.

ARTICLE 11

MORTGAGE LOAN

Section 11.1 Mortgage Loan Notice.

(a) Promptly after receipt (but no more than two (2) Business Days after receipt), Borrower
will deliver (or cause each Mortgage Borrower to deliver) to Lender a true, correct and complete
copy of all material notices, demands, requests or material correspondence (including
electronically transmitted items) received from Mortgage Lender by any Mortgage Borrower or any
guarantor under the Mortgage Loan Documents.

(b) Unless otherwise delivered to Lender pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.1.11
hereof, Borrower will deliver (or cause each Mortgage Borrower to deliver) to Lender all of the
financial statements, reports, certificates and related items delivered or required to be
delivered by Mortgage Borrowers to Mortgage Lender under the Mortgage Loan Documents as and
when due under the Mortgage Loan Documents.

 

97

 

Section 11.2 Mortgage Loan Estoppels.

(a) After written request by Lender, Borrower shall (or shall cause each Mortgage Borrower to)
from time to time, use reasonable efforts to obtain from Mortgage Lender such estoppel certificates
with respect to the status of the Mortgage Loan and compliance by each Mortgage Borrower with the
terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents as may reasonably be requested by Lender. In the event or to
the extent that Mortgage Lender is not legally obligated to deliver such estoppel certificates and
is unwilling to deliver the same, or is legally obligated to deliver such estoppel certificates but
breaches such obligation, then Borrower shall not be in breach of this provision so long as
Borrower furnishes to Lender estoppels executed by each Mortgage Borrower, each expressly
representing to Lender the information requested by Lender regarding the status of the Mortgage
Loan and the compliance by each Mortgage Borrower with the terms of the Mortgage Loan Documents.
Subject to Section 9.4 hereof, Borrower hereby indemnifies Lender from and against all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, assessments, actions, or causes of action,
judgments, suits, claims, demands, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ and other
professional fees, whether or not suit is brought and settlement costs) and reasonable
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, actually incurred by, or
asserted against Lender based in whole or in part upon any fact, event, condition, or circumstances
relating to the Mortgage Loan which was misrepresented in any material respect by Borrower in, or
which warrants disclosure and was omitted from such estoppel executed by the Mortgage Borrowers.

Section 11.3 Intercreditor Agreement.

(a) Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees that (a) an Intercreditor Agreement (as modified,
amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time, the “Intercreditor Agreement”) entered into by
and among Lender and Mortgage Lender will be solely for the benefit of Lender and Mortgage Lender,
(b) none of Borrower or the Mortgage Borrowers shall be intended third-party beneficiaries of any
of the provisions therein, and (c) none of Borrower or the Mortgage Borrowers shall have any rights
thereunder or shall be entitled to rely on any of the provisions contained therein. Neither of
Lender or Mortgage Lender shall have any obligation to disclose to Borrower or any Mortgage
Borrower the contents of the Intercreditor Agreement. Borrower’s obligations hereunder are and
will be independent of the Intercreditor Agreement and shall remain unmodified by the terms and
provisions thereof.

(b) In the event Lender is required pursuant to the terms of any Intercreditor Agreement to
pay over any payment or distribution of assets, whether in cash, property or securities which is
applied to the Debt, including, without limitation, any proceeds of the Property previously
received by Lender on account of the Loan to Mortgage Lender to be applied to the “Debt” under and
as defined in the Mortgage Loan Agreement, then any amount so paid shall continue to be owing
pursuant to the Loan Documents as part of the Debt notwithstanding the prior receipt of such
payment by Lender.

 

98

 

Section 11.4 Intentionally Omitted.

Section 11.5 Discussions with Mortgage Lender. In connection with the exercise of its
rights as set forth in the Loan Documents, Lender shall have the right at any time to discuss the
Properties, the Mortgage Loan or any other matter directly with Mortgage Lender or Mortgage
Lender’s consultants, agents or representatives without notice to or permission from Borrower or
Mortgage Borrowers, nor shall Lender have any obligation to disclose such discussions or the
contents thereof with Borrower or Mortgage Borrowers.

Section 11.6 Independent Approval Rights. If any action, proposed action or other
decision is consented to or approved by Mortgage Lender, such consent or approval shall not, except
as and to the extent herein provided otherwise, be binding or controlling on Lender. Borrower
hereby acknowledges and agrees that (i) the risks of Mortgage Lender in making the Mortgage Loan
are different from the risks of Lender in making the Loan, (ii) in determining whether to grant,
deny, withhold or condition any requested consent or approval Mortgage Lender and Lender may
reasonably reach different conclusions, and (iii) except as and to the extent herein provided
otherwise, Lender has an absolute independent right to grant, deny, withhold or condition any
requested consent or approval based on its own point of view. Further, the good faith denial by
Lender of a requested consent or approval shall not create any liability or other obligation of
Lender if the denial of such consent or approval results directly or indirectly in a default under
the Mortgage Loan, and Borrower hereby waives any claim of liability against Lender arising from
any such denial.

(b) The holders of the Notes agree to discharge and release any Subsidiary Guarantor from the
Subsidiary Guaranty upon the written request of the Obligors, provided that (i) such Subsidiary
Guarantor has been released and discharged (or will be released and discharged concurrently with
the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor under the Subsidiary Guaranty) as an obligor and guarantor
under and in respect of all outstanding Senior Debt (including the Senior Credit Agreement) and the
Obligors so certify to the holders of the Notes in a certificate of a Responsible Officer, (ii) at
the time of such release and discharge, the Obligors shall deliver a certificate of a Responsible
Officer to the holders of the Notes stating that no Default or Event of Default exists, and (iii)
if any fee or other form of consideration is given to any holder of Debt of the Obligors in
connection with such release, holders of the Notes shall receive equivalent consideration (a
“Collateral Release”). In addition, upon the written request of the Obligors, any Subsidiary
Guarantor may be discharged and released from the Subsidiary Guaranty upon the prior written
consent of the Required Holders, which written consent may be given or withheld in the sole and
absolute discretion of the Required Holders.

Each Obligor represents and warrants to each Purchaser that:

Section 5.1. Organization; Power and Authority. Each Obligor is a corporation duly
incorporated, validly existing in good standing (or equivalent status) under the laws of its
jurisdiction of incorporation, and is duly qualified as a foreign corporation and is in good
standing (or equivalent status) in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by
law, other than those jurisdictions as to which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing
(or equivalent status) could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect. Each Obligor has the corporate power and authority to own or hold under
lease the properties it purports to own or hold under lease, to transact the business it transacts,
to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Series 2010-A Notes and to perform the provisions
hereof and thereof.

Section 5.2. Authorization, Etc. This Agreement and the Series 2010-A Notes have

Agreement constitutes, and upon execution and
delivery thereof each Series 2010-A Note will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of
each Obligor enforceable against each Obligor in accordance with its terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium
or other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (ii) general
principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law).

 

-7-

 

Section 5.3. Disclosure. The Obligors, through their agent, Banc of America
Securities LLC, have delivered to each Purchaser a copy of a Private Placement Memorandum, dated
March 2010 (the “Memorandum”), relating to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Memorandum
fairly describes, in all material respects, the general nature of the business and principal
properties of the Obligors and the Subsidiaries. This Agreement, the Memorandum, the documents,
certificates or other writings delivered to the Purchasers by or on behalf of the Obligors in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the financial statements listed in
Schedule 5.5, taken as a whole, do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to
state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the
circumstances under which they were made. Except as disclosed in the Memorandum or in one of the
documents, certificates or other writings identified therein or herein, since July 31, 2009, there
has been no change in the financial condition, operations, business or properties of the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries except changes that individually or in the aggregate could not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no fact known to the Obligors that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect that has not been set forth herein or in
the Memorandum or in the other documents, certificates and other writings delivered to each
Purchaser by or on behalf of the Obligors specifically for use in connection with the transactions
contemplated hereby.

Section 5.4. Organization and Ownership of Shares of Subsidiaries; Affiliates. (a)
Schedule 5.4 contains (except as noted therein) complete and correct lists of (i) the Company’s
Subsidiaries, showing, as to each Subsidiary, the correct name thereof, the jurisdiction of its
organization, and the percentage of shares of each class of its capital stock or similar equity
interests outstanding owned by the Company and each other Subsidiary, and all other Investments of
the Obligors and their Subsidiaries, (ii) the Company’s Affiliates, other than Subsidiaries, and
(iii) the Company’s directors and senior officers.

(b) All of the outstanding shares of capital stock or similar equity interests of each
Subsidiary shown in Schedule 5.4 as being owned by the Obligors and their Subsidiaries have been
validly issued, are fully paid and nonassessable (except, with respect to capital stock of a
Wisconsin corporation, as otherwise provided in former Section 180.0622(2) of the Wisconsin
Business Corporation Law, as judicially interpreted, for debts incurred prior to June 14, 2006) and
are owned by the Company or another Subsidiary free and clear of any Lien (except as otherwise
disclosed in Schedule 5.4).

(c) Each Domestic Subsidiary identified in Schedule 5.4 is a corporation or other legal entity
duly incorporated (or organized if not a corporation), validly existing and in good standing (or
equivalent status) under the laws of its jurisdiction of organization, and is duly qualified as a
foreign corporation or other legal entity and is in good standing (or equivalent status) in each
jurisdiction in which such qualification is required by law, other than those jurisdictions as to
which the failure to be so qualified or in good standing (or equivalent status) could not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each
such Domestic Subsidiary has the corporate or other power and authority to own or hold under lease
the properties it purports to own or hold under lease and to transact the business it transacts.

 

-8-

of any Series, in an amount not less than $2,000,000 (or, with respect to any Series of Notes
denominated in Euros, the equivalent amount in Euros) in the aggregate principal amount of the
Notes of such Series then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment (or such lesser amount as

The Obligors will give each holder of Notes of the Series
to be prepaid written notice of each optional prepayment under this Section 8.2 not less than
thirty (30) days and not more than sixty (60) days prior to the date fixed for such prepayment.
Each such notice shall specify such date, the aggregate principal amount of the Notes of the
applicable Series to be prepaid on such date, the principal amount of each Note held by such holder
to be prepaid (determined in accordance with Section 8.3), and the interest to be paid on the
prepayment date with respect to such principal amount being prepaid, and shall be accompanied by a
certificate of a Senior Financial Officer as to the estimated Make-Whole Amount or other premium
due in connection with such prepayment (calculated as if the date of such notice were the date of
the prepayment), setting forth the details of such computation, provided that, with respect to any
Swapped Notes, such estimated Make-Whole Amount need not include an estimate of the applicable Swap
Indemnification Amount to the extent included in the determination thereof. Two (2) Business Days
prior to such prepayment, the Obligors shall deliver to each holder of Notes of the Series to be
prepaid a certificate of a Senior Financial Officer specifying the calculation of each such

Supplement with respect to any Series of Additional Notes, all partial prepayments made with
respect to any Series of Notes to be prepaid shall be allocated among all of the Notes of such
Series at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective unpaid
principal amounts thereof. In the case of each partial prepayment of the Notes pursuant to the
provisions of Section 12.1(a) or (b), the principal amount of the Notes shall be allocated among
all of the Notes at the time outstanding in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective
unpaid principal amounts thereof. For purposes of determining allocation of partial prepayments
among Notes denominated in both Dollars and Euros, all Euro denominated Notes shall be converted
into a Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with Section 22.8.

Section 8.4. Maturity; Surrender, Etc. In the case of each prepayment of Notes pursuant to
this Section 8 or pursuant to the applicable provisions of any Supplement with respect to any
Series of Notes issued thereunder,
the principal amount of each Note to be prepaid shall mature and become due and payable on the date
fixed for such prepayment (which shall be a Business Day), together with interest on such principal
amount accrued to such date and (without duplication) the applicable Make-Whole Amount and Swap
Indemnification Amount. From and after such date, unless the Obligors shall fail to pay such
principal amount when so due and payable, together with the interest and (without duplication)
Make-Whole Amount and Swap Indemnification Amount as aforesaid, interest on such principal
amount shall cease to accrue. Any Note paid or prepaid in full shall be surrendered to any Obligor
and cancelled and shall not be reissued, and no Note shall be issued in lieu of any prepaid
principal amount of any Note.

Section 8.5. Purchase of Notes. None of the Obligors will, nor will they permit any Affiliate
to purchase, redeem, prepay or otherwise acquire, directly or indirectly, any of the outstanding
Notes except (a) upon the payment or prepayment of the Notes of any Series in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement (including any Supplement hereto) and the Notes or (b) pursuant to a
written offer to purchase any outstanding Notes made by the Obligors or an Affiliate pro rata to
the holders of the Notes upon the same terms and conditions. The Obligors will promptly cancel all
Notes acquired by any Obligor or any Affiliate pursuant to any payment, prepayment or purchase of
Notes pursuant to any provision of this Agreement and no Notes may be issued in substitution or
exchange for any such Notes.

(1) to acquire productive assets used or useful in carrying on the business of the
Obligors and their Subsidiaries and having a value at least equal to the value of such
assets sold, leased or otherwise disposed of; or

that (i) the Obligors shall offer to prepay each outstanding Note in a principal amount
which equals the Ratable Portion for such Note, and (ii) any such prepayment of the Notes
shall be made at par, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of such prepayment,
but without the payment of the Make-Whole Amount (provided, however, any such prepayment
shall include the applicable Swap Indemnification Amount, if any). Any offer of prepayment
of the Notes pursuant to this Section 10.4 shall be given to each holder of the Notes by
written notice that shall be delivered not less than thirty (30) days and not more than
sixty (60) days prior to the proposed prepayment date. Each such notice shall state that it

accepted by such holder in writing and shall also set forth (i) the prepayment date, (ii) a
description of the circumstances which give rise to the proposed prepayment and (iii) a
calculation of the Ratable Portion for such holder’s Notes. Each holder of the Notes which
desires to have its Notes prepaid shall notify any Obligor in writing delivered not less
than five (5) Business Days prior to the proposed prepayment date of its acceptance of such
offer of prepayment. Prepayment of Notes pursuant to this Section 10.4 shall be made in
accordance with Section 8.2 and Section 8.4 of the Note Agreement.

As used in this Section 10.4, a sale, lease or other disposition of assets shall be deemed to
be a “substantial part” of the assets of the Obligors and their Subsidiaries if the book value of
such assets, when added to the book value of all other assets sold, leased or otherwise disposed of
by the Obligors and their Subsidiaries during the period of 12 consecutive months ending on the
date of such sale, lease or other disposition, exceeds 15% of the book value of Consolidated Total
Assets, determined as of the end of the fiscal year immediately preceding such sale, lease or other
disposition; provided that there shall be excluded from any determination of a “substantial part”
any (i) sale or disposition of assets in the ordinary course of business of the Obligors and their
Subsidiaries, (ii) any transfer of assets from any Obligor to any Wholly-Owned Subsidiary or from
any Subsidiary to any Obligor or a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary and (iii) any sale or transfer of
property acquired by any Obligor or any Subsidiary after the date of this Agreement to any Person
within 365 days following the acquisition or construction of such property by such Obligor or any
Subsidiary if an Obligor or a Subsidiary shall concurrently with such sale or transfer, lease such
property, as lessee.

Section 10.5. Merger and Consolidation. The Obligors will not, and will not permit any of
their Subsidiaries to, consolidate with or merge with any other Person or convey, transfer or lease
substantially all of its assets in a single transaction or series of transactions to any Person;
provided that:

(1) any Subsidiary of the Obligors may (x) consolidate with or merge with, or convey,
transfer or lease substantially all of its assets in a single transaction or series of
transactions to, (i) any Obligor or a Subsidiary so long as in any merger or consolidation
involving the Company, the Company shall be the surviving or continuing corporation or (ii)
any other Person so long as the survivor is the Subsidiary, or (y) convey, transfer or lease
all of its assets in compliance with the provisions of Section 10.4;

(2) any Obligor may consolidate with or merge with, or convey, transfer or lease
substantially all of its assets in a single transaction or series of transactions to, any
other Obligor; and

(3) the foregoing restriction does not apply to the consolidation or merger of any
Obligor with, or the conveyance, transfer or lease of substantially all of the assets of any
Obligor in a single transaction or series of transactions to, any Person so long as:

(a) the successor formed by such consolidation or the survivor of such merger
or the Person that acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease substantially all of
the assets of an Obligor as an entirety, as the case may be (the “Successor
Corporation”), shall be a solvent corporation or limited liability company organized
and existing under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or
the District of Columbia;

(b) if such Obligor is not the Successor Corporation, such Successor
Corporation shall have executed and delivered to each holder of Notes its assumption
of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition of
this Agreement (and each Supplement thereto) and the Notes (pursuant to such
agreements and instruments as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required
Holders), and the Successor Corporation shall have caused to be delivered to each
holder of Notes (A) an opinion of nationally recognized independent counsel, to the
effect that all agreements or instruments effecting such assumption are enforceable
in accordance with their terms and (B) an acknowledgment from each Subsidiary
Guarantor that the Subsidiary Guaranty continues in full force and effect; and

(c) immediately after giving effect to such transaction no Default or Event of
Default would exist.

Section 10.6. Nature of Business. The Obligors and their Subsidiaries will not engage in any
business, if, as a result, when taken as a whole, the general nature of the business of the
Obligors and their Subsidiaries would be substantially changed from the general nature of the
business conducted by the Obligors and their Subsidiaries on the date of this Agreement as
described in the Memorandum.

Subsidiary to enter into directly or indirectly any Material transaction or Material group of
related transactions (including without limitation the purchase, lease, sale or exchange of
properties of any kind or the rendering of any service) with any Affiliate (other than any Obligor
or another Subsidiary), except in the ordinary course and upon fair and reasonable terms that are
not materially less favorable to the Obligors or such Subsidiary than would be obtainable in a
comparable arm’s-length transaction with a Person not an Affiliate.

Section 10.8. Terrorism Sanctions Regulations. The Obligors will not and will not permit any
Subsidiary to (a) become a Person described or designated in the Specially Designated Nationals and
Blocked Persons List of the Office of Foreign Assets Control or in Section 1 of the Anti-Terrorism
Order or (b) engage directly in any dealings or transactions with any such Person.

Section 12. Remedies on Default, Etc.

Section 12.1. Acceleration. (a) If an Event of Default with respect to the Obligors described
in paragraph (h) or (i) of Section 11 (other than an Event of Default described in clause (i) of
paragraph (h) or described in clause (vi) of paragraph (h) by virtue of the fact that such clause
encompasses clause (i) of paragraph (h)) has occurred, all the Notes of every Series then
outstanding shall automatically become immediately due and payable.

(b) If any other Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Holders may at
any time at their option, by notice or notices to the Obligors, declare all the Notes of every
Series then outstanding to be immediately due and payable.

 

-34-

 

(c) If any Event of Default described in paragraph (a) or (b) of Section 11 has occurred and
is continuing with respect to any Notes, any holder or holders of Notes at the time outstanding
affected by such Event of Default may at any time, at its or their option, by notice or notices to
the Obligors, declare all the Notes held by such holder or holders to be immediately due and
payable.

Upon any Note’s becoming due and payable under this Section 12.1, whether automatically or by
declaration, such Note will forthwith mature and the entire unpaid principal amount of such Note,
plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon and the Make-Whole Amount or other premium determined
in respect of such principal amount (to the full extent permitted by applicable law), plus any Swap
Indemnification Amount in respect of a Swapped Note shall all be immediately due and payable, in
each and every case without presentment, demand, protest or further notice, all of which are hereby
waived. Each Obligor acknowledges, and the parties hereto agree, that each holder of a Note has
the right to maintain its investment in the Notes free from repayment by the Obligors (except as
herein specifically provided for) and that the provision for payment of a Make-Whole Amount or
other premium by the Obligors in the event that the Notes are prepaid or are accelerated as a
result of an Event of Default, is intended to provide compensation for the deprivation of such
right under such circumstances.

Section 12.2. Other Remedies. If any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, and irrespective of whether any Notes have become or have been declared immediately due
and payable under Section 12.1, the holder of any Note at the time outstanding may proceed to
protect and enforce the rights of such holder by an action at law, suit in equity or other
appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or
in any Note, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in
aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise.

Section 12.3. Rescission. At any time after the Notes have been declared due and payable
pursuant to clause (b) or (c) of Section 12.1, the Required Holders, by written notice to the
Obligors, may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences if (a) the Obligors have
paid all overdue interest on the Notes, all principal of and Make-Whole Amount or premium, if any,
on any Notes that are due and payable and are unpaid other than by reason of such declaration, and
all interest on such overdue principal and Make-Whole Amount or premium, if any, and (to the extent
permitted by applicable law) any overdue interest in respect of the Notes, at the Default Rate, (b)
all Events of Default and Defaults, other than non-payment of amounts that have become due solely
by reason of such declaration, have been cured or have been waived pursuant to Section 17, and (c)
no judgment or decree has been entered for the payment of any monies due pursuant hereto or to any
Notes. No rescission and annulment under this Section 12.3 will extend to or affect any subsequent
Event of Default or Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 12.4. No Waivers or Election of Remedies, Expenses, Etc. No course of dealing and no
delay on the part of any holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or remedy shall operate
as a waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice such holder’s rights, powers or remedies. No right,
power or
remedy conferred by this Agreement or by any Note upon any holder thereof shall be exclusive of any
other right, power or remedy referred to herein or therein or now or

 

-35-

 

hereafter available at law, in
equity, by statute or otherwise. Without limiting the obligations of the Obligors under Section
15, the Obligors will pay to the holder of each Note on demand such further amount as shall be
sufficient to cover all costs and expenses of such holder incurred in any enforcement or collection
under this Section 12, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, expenses and
disbursements.

Section 13. Registration; Exchange; Substitution of Notes.

Section 13.1. Registration of Notes. The Company shall keep at its principal executive
office a register for the registration and registration of transfers of Notes. The name and
address of each holder of one or more Notes, each transfer thereof and the name and address of each
transferee of one or more Notes shall be registered in such register. Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer, the Person in whose name any Note shall be registered shall be deemed and
treated as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes hereof, and the Obligors shall not be
affected by any notice or knowledge to the contrary. The Obligors shall give to any holder of a
Note that is an Institutional Investor promptly upon request therefor, a complete and correct copy
of the names and addresses of all registered holders of Notes.

Section 13.2. Transfer and Exchange of Notes. Upon surrender of any Note at the principal
executive office of the Company for registration of transfer or exchange (and in the case of a
surrender for registration of transfer, duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer duly executed by the registered holder of such Note or its attorney duly authorized in
writing and accompanied by the address for notices of each transferee of such Note or part
thereof), the Obligors shall execute and deliver not more than five (5) Business Days following
surrender of such Note, at the Obligors’ expense (except as provided below), one or more new Notes
(as requested by the holder thereof) of the same Series (and of the same tranche if such Series has
separate tranches) in exchange therefor, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unpaid
principal amount of the surrendered Note. Each such new Note shall be payable to such Person as
such holder may request and shall be substantially in the form of the Note of such Series
originally issued hereunder or pursuant to any Supplement. Each such new Note shall be dated and
bear interest from the date to which interest shall have been paid on the surrendered Note or dated
the date of the surrendered Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon. The Obligors may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any stamp tax or governmental charge imposed in
respect of any such transfer of Notes. Notes shall not be transferred in denominations of less
than $500,000 (or the equivalent amount in Euros), provided that if necessary to enable the
registration of transfer by a holder of its entire holding of Notes of a Series (or of a tranche,
if such Series has separate tranches), one Note of such Series or tranche, as applicable, may be in
a denomination of less than $500,000 (or the equivalent amount in Euros). Any transferee, by its
acceptance of a Note registered in its name (or the name of its nominee), shall be deemed to have
made the representation set forth in Section 6, provided that such holder may (in reliance upon
information provided by the Obligors, which shall not be unreasonably withheld) make a
representation to the effect that the purchase by such holder of any Note will not constitute a
non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406(a) of ERISA.

 

-36-

 

The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of
any state and may not be transferred or resold unless registered under the Securities Act and all
applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from the requirement for such registration
is available.

Section 13.3. Replacement of Notes. Upon receipt by the Obligors of evidence reasonably
satisfactory to them of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any Note
(which evidence shall be, in the case of an Institutional Investor, notice from such Institutional
Investor of such ownership and such loss, theft, destruction or mutilation), and

(a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to
them (provided that if the holder of such Note is, or is a nominee for, an original
Purchaser or another holder of a Note with a minimum net worth of at least $50,000,000, such
Person’s own unsecured agreement of indemnity shall be deemed to be satisfactory), or

(b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation thereof,

the Obligors at their own expense shall execute and deliver not more than five (5) Business Days
following satisfaction of such conditions, in lieu thereof, a new Note of the same Series (and of
the same tranche if such Series has separate tranches), dated and bearing interest from the date to
which interest shall have been paid on such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note or dated the
date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note if no interest shall have been paid thereon.

Section 14. Payments on Notes.

Section 14.1. Place of Payment. Subject to Section 14.2, payments of principal, Make-Whole
Amount, interest and any Swap Indemnification Amount in respect of the Swapped Notes becoming due
and payable on the Notes shall be made in New York, New York at the principal office of Bank of
America, N.A. in such jurisdiction. The Obligors may at any time, by notice to each holder of a
Note, change the place of payment of the Notes so long as such place of payment shall be either the
principal office of a Obligor in such jurisdiction or the principal office of a bank or trust
company in such jurisdiction.

Section 14.2. Home Office Payment. So long as any Purchaser or Additional Purchaser or such
Purchaser’s nominee or such Additional Purchaser’s nominee shall be the holder of any Note, and
notwithstanding anything contained in Section 14.1 or in such Note to the contrary, the Obligors
will pay all sums becoming due on such Note for principal, Make-Whole Amount or premium, if any,
and interest and any Swap Indemnification Amount in respect of the Swapped Notes by the method and
at the address specified for such purpose for such Purchaser on Schedule A hereto or, in the case
of any
Additional Purchaser, Schedule A attached to any Supplement pursuant to which such Additional
Purchaser is a party, or by such other method or at such other address as such Purchaser or
Additional Purchaser shall have from time to time specified to the Obligors in writing for such
purpose, without the presentation or surrender of such Note or the making of any notation thereon,
except that upon written request of the Obligors made concurrently with or reasonably promptly
after payment or prepayment in full of any Note, such Purchaser or Additional Purchaser shall
surrender such Note for cancellation, reasonably promptly after any such request, to the Obligors
at the principal executive office of

 

-37-

 

 the Company or at the place of payment most recently
designated by the Obligors pursuant to Section 14.1. Prior to any sale or other disposition of any
Note held by any Purchaser or Additional Purchaser or such Person’s nominee, such Person will, at
its election, either endorse thereon the amount of principal paid thereon and the last date to
which interest has been paid thereon or surrender such Note to an Obligor in exchange for a new
Note or Notes pursuant to Section 13.2. The Obligors will afford the benefits of this Section 14.2
to any Institutional Investor that is the direct or indirect transferee of any Note.

Section 15. Expenses, Etc.

Section 15.1. Transaction Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby are
consummated, the Obligors will pay all reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees of one special counsel for the Purchasers or any Additional Purchasers and, if
reasonably required, local or other counsel) incurred by each Purchaser and each Additional
Purchaser and each other holder of a Note in connection with such transactions and in connection
with any amendments, waivers or consents under or in respect of this Agreement (including any
Supplement) or the Notes (whether or not such amendment, waiver or consent becomes effective),
including, without limitation: (a) the costs and expenses incurred in enforcing or defending (or
determining whether or how to enforce or defend) any rights under this Agreement (including any
Supplement) or the Notes or in responding to any subpoena or other legal process or informal
investigative demand by any Governmental Authority issued in connection with this Agreement
(including any Supplement) or the Notes, or by reason of being a holder of any Note, and (b) the
costs and expenses, including financial advisors’ fees, incurred in connection with the insolvency
or bankruptcy of any Obligor or any Subsidiary or in connection with any work-out or restructuring
of the transactions contemplated hereby (including any Supplement), by any Subsidiary Guaranty and
by the Notes. In the event the Obligors default in the payment of any interest, principal or other
amounts on any Swapped Notes on the date such payment is due (regardless of whether any period of
grace shall be applicable thereto and regardless of whether such default shall be an Event of
Default), the Obligors will pay, and will save each holder of a Swapped Note harmless from, any
fees, costs, contractual damages or expenses (including without limitation, the costs of any funds
used to pay amounts owing to any swap counterparty on such payment date) arising out of or in
connection with any payments that may be due under any Swap Agreement entered into by such holder
in connection with this Agreement and any Swapped Note. The Obligors will pay, and will save each
Purchaser, each Additional Purchaser and each other holder of a Note harmless from, all claims in
respect of any reasonable fees, costs or expenses if any, of brokers and finders (other than those
retained by the Purchasers).

Section 15.2. Survival. The obligations of the Obligors under this Section 15 will survive
the payment or transfer of any Note, the enforcement, amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement, any Supplement or the Notes, and the termination of this Agreement or any Supplement.

 

-38-

 

Section 16. Survival of Representations and Warranties; Entire Agreement. 

All representations and warranties contained herein or in any Supplement shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement, such Supplement and the Notes, the purchase or transfer
by any Purchaser or any Additional Purchaser of any such Note or portion thereof or interest
therein and the payment of any Note may be relied upon by any subsequent holder of any such Note,
regardless of any investigation made at any time by or on behalf of any Purchaser or any Additional
Purchaser or any other holder of any such Note. All statements contained in any certificate or
other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Obligors pursuant to this Agreement or any
Supplement shall be deemed representations and warranties of the Obligors under this Agreement;
provided, that the representations and warranties contained in any Supplement shall only be made
for the benefit of the Additional Purchasers which are party to such Supplement and the holders of
the Notes issued pursuant to such Supplement, including subsequent holders of any Note issued
pursuant to such Supplement, and shall not require the consent of the holders of existing Notes.
Subject to the preceding sentence, this Agreement (including every Supplement) and the Notes embody
the entire agreement and understanding between the Purchasers and the Additional Purchasers and the
Obligors and supersede all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter
hereof.

the Notes the holders of which are required to consent to any such amendment or waiver, or (C)
amend any of Sections 8, 11(a), 11(b), 12, 17 or 20; provided that, with respect to the

8.6(a).

(b) Supplements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Obligors may
enter into any Supplement providing for the issuance of one or more Series of
Additional Notes consistent with Sections 2.2 and 4.12 hereof without obtaining the consent of any

such holder of Notes of any waiver or amendment of any of the terms and provisions hereof or any
Supplement unless such remuneration is concurrently paid, or security is concurrently granted, on
the same terms, ratably to each holder of Notes then outstanding even if such holder did not
consent to such waiver or amendment.

(c) Consent in Contemplation of Transfer. Any consent made pursuant to this Section 17 by a
holder of Notes that has transferred or has agreed to transfer its Notes to an Obligor, any
Subsidiary or any Affiliate of an Obligor and has provided or has agreed to provide such written
consent as a condition to such transfer shall be void and of no force or effect except solely as to
such holder, and any amendments effected or waivers granted or to be effected or granted that would
not have been or would not be so effected or granted but for such consent (and the consents of all
other holders of Notes that were acquired under the same or similar conditions) shall be void and
of no force or effect except solely as to such holder.

Section 17.3. Binding Effect, Etc. Any amendment or waiver consented to as provided in this
Section 17 applies equally to all holders of Notes and is binding upon them and upon each future
holder of any Note and upon the Obligors without regard to whether such Note has been marked to
indicate such amendment or waiver. No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any
obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or
impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing between any Obligor and the holder of
any Note nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any Note shall operate as a
waiver of any rights of any holder of such Note. As used herein, the term “this Agreement” and
references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or
supplemented.

Section 17.4. Notes Held by Obligors, Etc. Solely for the purpose of determining whether the
holders of the requisite percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding
approved or consented to any amendment, waiver or consent to be given under this Agreement or the
Notes, or have directed the taking of any action provided herein or in the Notes to be taken upon
the direction of
the holders of a specified percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Notes then outstanding,
Notes directly or indirectly owned by any Obligor or any of its Affiliates shall be deemed not to
be outstanding.

telefacsimile if the sender on the same day sends a confirming copy of such notice by a recognized
overnight delivery service (charges prepaid), or (b) by a recognized overnight delivery service
(with charges prepaid). Any such notice must be sent:

Purchaser’s nominee at the address specified for such communications in Schedule A to this
Agreement, or at such other address as such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s nominee shall have

Section 19. Reproduction of Documents.

This Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including, without limitation, (a)
consents, waivers and modifications that may hereafter be executed, (b) documents received by each
Purchaser at the Closing (except the Notes themselves), and (c) financial statements, certificates
and other information previously or hereafter furnished to each Purchaser, may be reproduced by
such Purchaser by any photographic, photostatic, microfilm, microcard, miniature photographic or
other similar process and such Purchaser may destroy any original document so reproduced. Each
Obligor agrees and stipulates that, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any such
reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or
administrative proceeding (whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such
reproduction was made by such Purchaser in the regular course of business) and any enlargement,
facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.
This Section 19 shall not prohibit any Obligor or any other holder of Notes from
contesting any such reproduction to the same extent that it could contest the original, or
from introducing evidence to demonstrate the inaccuracy of any such reproduction.

Section 20. Confidential Information.

For the purposes of this Section 20, “Confidential Information” means information delivered to
any Purchaser by or on behalf of the Obligors or any Subsidiary in connection with the transactions
contemplated by or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement that is proprietary in nature and that was
clearly marked or labeled or otherwise adequately identified when received by such Purchaser as
being confidential information of the Obligors or such Subsidiary, provided that such term does not
include information that (a) was publicly known or otherwise known to such Purchaser prior to the
time of such disclosure, (b) subsequently becomes publicly known through no act or omission by such
Purchaser or any Person acting on such Purchaser’s behalf, (c) otherwise becomes known to such
Purchaser other than through disclosure by any Obligor or any Subsidiary or (d) constitutes
financial statements delivered to such Purchaser under Section 7.1 that are otherwise publicly
available. Each Purchaser will maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information in
accordance with procedures adopted by such Purchaser in good faith to protect confidential
information of third parties delivered to such Purchaser, provided that such Purchaser may deliver
or disclose Confidential Information to (i) such Purchaser’s directors, trustees, officers,
employees, agents, attorneys and affiliates (to the extent such disclosure reasonably relates to
the administration of the investment represented by such Purchaser’s Notes), (ii) such Purchaser’s
financial advisors and other professional advisors who agree to hold confidential the Confidential
Information substantially in accordance with the terms of this Section 20, (iii) any other holder
of any Note, (iv) any Institutional Investor to which such Purchaser sells or offers to sell such
Note or any part thereof or any participation therein (if such Person has agreed in writing prior
to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by the provisions of this Section 20),
(v) any Person from which such Purchaser offers to purchase any security of any Obligor (if such
Person has agreed in writing prior to its receipt of such Confidential Information to be bound by
the provisions of this Section 20), (vi) any federal or state regulatory authority having
jurisdiction over such Purchaser, (vii) the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any
similar organization, or any nationally recognized rating agency that requires access to
information about such Purchaser’s investment portfolio, or (viii) any other Person to which such
delivery or disclosure may be necessary or appropriate (w) to effect compliance with any law, rule,
regulation or order applicable to such Purchaser, (x) in response to any subpoena or other legal
process, (y) in connection with any litigation to which such Purchaser is a party or (z) if an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to the extent such Purchaser may reasonably
determine such delivery and disclosure to be necessary or appropriate in the enforcement or for the
protection of the rights and remedies under such Purchaser’s Notes and this Agreement. Each holder
of a Note, by its acceptance of a Note, will be deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to be
entitled to the benefits of this Section 20 as though it were a party to this Agreement. On
reasonable request by any Obligor in connection with the delivery to any holder of a Note of
information required to be delivered to such holder under this Agreement or requested by such
holder (other than a holder that is a party to this Agreement or its nominee), such holder will
enter into an agreement with the Obligors embodying the provisions of this Section 20.

 

-42-

 

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, and to the extent not otherwise prohibited by
applicable securities laws, each Purchaser (and each employee, representative or other agent of
each Purchaser) may disclose to any Person, without limitations of any kind, the “tax treatment”
and “tax structure” (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury Regulation Section 1.6011-4) of
the offering of the Notes and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses)
that are or have been provided to each Purchaser relating to such tax treatment or tax structure;
provided that, with respect to any document or similar item that in either case contains
information concerning such tax treatment or tax structure of the offering as well as other
information, such permitted disclosure shall apply solely to such facts and relevant portions of
the document or similar item that relate to such tax treatment or tax structure.

Section 21. Substitution of Purchaser.

Each Purchaser shall have the right to substitute any one of such Purchaser’s Affiliates as
the purchaser of the Notes that such Purchaser has agreed to purchase hereunder, by written notice
to any Obligor, which notice shall be signed by both such Purchaser and such Purchaser’s Affiliate,
shall contain such Affiliate’s agreement to be bound by this Agreement and shall contain a
confirmation by such Affiliate of the accuracy with respect to it of the representations set forth
in Section 6. Upon receipt of such notice, wherever the word “Purchaser” is used in this Agreement
(other than in this Section 21), such word shall be deemed to refer to such Affiliate in lieu of
such Purchaser. In the event that such Affiliate is so substituted as a purchaser hereunder and
such Affiliate thereafter transfers to such Purchaser all of the Notes then held by such Affiliate,
upon receipt by any Obligor of notice of such transfer, wherever the word “Purchaser” is used in
this Agreement (other than in this Section 21), such word shall no longer be deemed to refer to
such Affiliate, but shall refer to such Purchaser, and such Purchaser shall have all the rights of
an original holder of the Notes under this Agreement.

Section 22. Miscellaneous.

Section 22.1. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and other agreements contained in this
Agreement (including all covenants and other agreements contained in any Supplement) by or on
behalf of any of the parties hereto bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors
and assigns (including, without limitation, any subsequent holder of a Note) whether so expressed
or not.

Section 22.2. Payments Due on Non-Business Days. Anything in this Agreement or the Notes to
the contrary notwithstanding (but without limiting the requirement in Section 8.4 that the notice
of any optional prepayment specify a Business Day as the date fixed for such prepayment), any
payment of principal of or Make-Whole Amount, any Swap Indemnification Amount in respect of the
Swapped Note or interest on any Note that is due on a date other than a Business Day shall be made
on the next succeeding Business Day without including the additional days elapsed in the
computation of the interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day; provided that if the
maturity date of any Note is a date other than a Business Day, the payment otherwise due on such
maturity date shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and shall include the additional
days elapsed in the computation of interest payable on such next succeeding Business Day.

 

-43-

 

Section 22.3. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is prohibited or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall (to the full extent permitted by
law) not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 22.4. Construction. Each covenant contained herein shall be construed (absent express
provision to the contrary) as being independent of each other covenant contained herein, so that
compliance with any one covenant shall not (absent such an express contrary provision) be deemed to
excuse compliance with any other covenant. Where any provision herein refers to action to be taken
by any Person, or which such Person is prohibited from taking, such provision shall be applicable
whether such action is taken directly or indirectly by such Person.

Section 22.5. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be an original but all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Each
counterpart may consist of a number of copies hereof, each signed by less than all, but together
signed by all, of the parties hereto.

Section 22.6. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced in accordance
with, and the rights of the parties shall be governed by, the law of the State of New York
excluding choice-of-law principles of the law of such State that would require the application of
the laws of a jurisdiction other than such State.

Section 22.7. Accounting Terms. All accounting terms used herein which are not expressly
defined in this Agreement have the meanings respectively given to them in accordance with GAAP.
Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, (i) all computations made pursuant to this
Agreement shall be made in accordance with GAAP, and (ii) all financial statements shall be
prepared in accordance with GAAP. For purposes of determining compliance with the financial
covenants set out in this Agreement, any election by the Company to measure an item of Indebtedness
using fair value (as permitted by Accounting Standards Codification 825-10-25 (previously referred
to as Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 159) or any other Accounting Standards
Codification or Financial Accounting Standard having a similar result or effect) shall be
disregarded and such determination shall be made by valuing indebtedness at 100% of the outstanding
principal amount (except to the extent that such indebtedness was issued at a discount or premium
in which case the value of such indebtedness shall be valued at the 100% of the outstanding
principal amount less any unamortized discount or plus any unamortized premium, as the case may
be).

Section 22.8 Determinations Involving Different Currencies. In the event of any determination
hereunder of the requisite percentage or the principal amount of any Notes of more than one
currency, all such Notes which are issued in Euros shall, for the purposes of determining any
such requisite percentage or principal amount, be deemed to have been converted into Dollars as of
the end of the immediately preceding Business Day as indicated on screen FXIP of Bloomberg (or such
other screen that may replace screen FXIP).

Section 23. Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Immunity. 

(a) For the purpose of assuring that the holders of the Notes may enforce their rights under
this Agreement, each Obligor, for itself and its successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably:

(i) agrees that any legal or equitable action, suit or proceeding against an Obligor
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or
thereby or the subject matter of any of the foregoing may be instituted in the Supreme Court
of the State of New York, New York County or the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York;

(ii) waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the venue of any
action, suit or proceeding;

(iii) irrevocably submits itself to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any state or
federal court of competent jurisdiction in the State of New York for purposes of any such
action, suit or proceeding; and

(iv) irrevocably waives any immunity from jurisdiction to which it might otherwise be
entitled in any such action, suit or proceeding which may be instituted in the Supreme Court
of the State of New York, New York County or the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York, and irrevocably waives any immunity from the maintaining of
an action against it to enforce any judgment for money obtained in any such action, suit or
proceeding and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any immunity from execution.

(b) Each Obligor consents to process being served by or on behalf of any holder of Notes in
any suit, action or proceeding of the nature referred to in Section 23(a) by mailing a copy thereof
by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid,
return receipt requested, to it at its address specified in Section 18 or at such other address of
which such holder shall then have been notified pursuant to said Section. Each Obligor agrees that
such service upon receipt (i) shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it
in any such suit, action or proceeding and (ii) shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, be taken and held to be valid personal service upon and personal delivery to it.
Notices hereunder shall be conclusively presumed received as evidenced by a delivery receipt
furnished by the United States Postal Service or any reputable commercial delivery service.

Section 24. Judgment Currency.

Section 24.1. Judgment Currency. Any payment on account of an amount that is payable
hereunder or under the Notes by the Obligors which is made to or for the account of any holder of
Notes in a currency other than the Applicable Currency (as defined below) with respect to such
payment, whether as a result of any
judgment or order or the enforcement thereof or the realization of any security or the liquidation
of such party or any other reason whatsoever, shall constitute a discharge of the Obligors’
obligations under this Agreement and/or the Notes only to

 

-45-

 

the extent of the amount of the
Applicable Currency which such holder could purchase in the foreign exchange markets in accordance
with normal banking procedures at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day following
receipt of the payment first referred to above with the amount of the currency in which such
payment was made. If the amount of the Applicable Currency that could be so purchased is less than
the amount of the Applicable Currency originally due to such holder, the Obligors agree, to the
full extent permitted by law, to indemnify and save harmless such holder from and against all loss
or damage arising out of or as a result of such deficiency. This indemnity shall, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, constitute an obligation separate and independent from the other
obligations contained in this Agreement and/or the Notes, shall give rise to a separate and
independent cause of action, shall apply irrespective of any indulgence granted by such holder from
time to time and, shall continue in full force and effect notwithstanding any judgment or order for
a liquidated sum in respect of an amount due hereunder or the Notes or under any judgment or order.
“Applicable Currency” means, with respect to any and all payments of principal, Make-Whole Amount
(other than any Make-Whole Amount and (without duplication) the Swap Indemnification Amount with
respect to a Swapped Note payable pursuant to the terms of this Agreement) and interest becoming
due and payable on any Note, the currency specified in such Note and, with respect to all other
payments required to be made hereunder or under any Note, Dollars.

Section 24.2. Survival. The obligations of the Obligors under this Section 24 will survive
the payment or transfer of any Note, the enforcement, amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement, any Supplement or the Notes, and the termination of this Agreement or any Supplement.

The execution hereof by the Purchasers shall constitute a contract among the Obligors and the
Purchasers for the uses and purposes hereinabove set forth. This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each executed counterpart constituting an original but all together only
one agreement.
