SEPARATION AGREEMENT

THIS SEPARATION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”) is entered into as of January 16, 2019 (the “Effective Date”) by and between Fred Tuomi (the “Executive”) and Invitation Homes Inc. (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates and its and their respective successors and assigns, the “Company”).
WHEREAS, the Executive and the Company are parties to the Term Sheet, dated September 19, 2017 (the “Term Sheet”); and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto have mutually agreed that the Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate on January 16, 2019 (the “Termination Date”); and
WHEREAS, the Executive and the Company have agreed to resolve and settle all matters with respect to events, including, but in no way limited to, the Executive’s employment and/or service with the Company, and the termination of the Executive’s employment and services, in each case through the date of this Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, based upon the mutual promises and conditions contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration specified herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.  Termination.
The Company and the Executive mutually agree that the Executive’s employment with the Company shall terminate effective as of the Termination Date.  Executive acknowledges and agrees that on August 27, 2018, the Executive resigned from all positions, offices and titles that the Executive held at the Company.  
2.  Separation Benefits.
(a) Qualifying Termination. The parties agree that the termination shall be treated as a Qualifying Termination (or its equivalent) under the Invitation Homes Inc. Executive Severance Plan (the “Severance Plan”) and any other arrangements, including any outstanding equity awards.  As such, the Executive shall be entitled to receive the payments and benefits set forth in Schedule I to the Release (as described below and attached as Exhibit A hereto), in consideration for, and contingent on, the Executive’s entrance into this Agreement, specifically including the Executive’s execution and non-revocation of the Release, and the Executive’s strict compliance with all restrictive covenants (the “Restrictive Covenants”) identified herein or in the Severance Plan.
 (b)  Release. The Company’s obligations under Section 2(a) are conditioned on the Executive signing, and delivering to the Company, within 21 days of the Termination Date, a release of claims in the form attached as Exhibit A hereto (the “Release”) and not thereafter timely revoking it in accordance with its terms (the date such Release becomes irrevocable in accordance with its terms being the “Release Effective Date”).

Exhibit 10.48

3.  Restrictive Covenants.
Each party acknowledges and agrees that the Restrictive Covenants (including those set forth in the Term Sheet, Appendix A of the Severance Plan and Appendix A of the applicable award agreements under the Incentive Plan) shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with the terms thereof.  Any breach of such covenants shall constitute a breach of this Agreement.  
4.  Miscellaneous. 
(a)  Indemnification. Nothing in this Agreement or elsewhere shall reduce or otherwise adversely affect any rights that the Executive may have to contribution, indemnification, or advancement of expenses (including, without limitation, advancement of attorney’s fees). 
 (b)  Mitigation. The Executive shall be under no obligation to seek other employment or otherwise mitigate the obligations of the Company under this Agreement.  
(c)  Tax Withholding; Section 409A. The Company may withhold from any amount or benefit payable under this Agreement any taxes that it is required to withhold by applicable law or regulation. In addition, if the payment or provision of any amount or benefit hereunder at the time specified in this Agreement would subject such amount or benefit to any “additional tax”, interest or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, then the payment or provision of such amount or benefit shall be postponed to the earliest commencement date on which the payment or the provision of such amount or benefit could be made without incurring such “additional tax”, interest or penalties. In addition, to the extent either party hereto reasonably determines that any provision of this Agreement would subject the Executive to “additional tax”, interest and penalties under Section 409A, the parties agree in good faith to cooperate to reform this Agreement in a manner that would avoid the imposition of such “additional tax”, interest or penalties on the Executive while preserving any affected benefit or payment to the extent reasonably practicable without materially increasing the cost to the Company.
(d)  Amendment or Modification; Waiver. No provision of this Agreement may be amended, modified or waived unless such amendment, modification or waiver shall be agreed to in writing and signed by Executive and a duly authorized officer of the Company.  No waiver by any party hereto of any failure of any other party to keep or perform any covenant or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same, or any other covenant or condition.
(e)  Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of (i) the Company and its successors and assigns and (ii) the Executive and the Executive’s heirs, executors, administrators and legal representatives. 
(f)  Beneficiaries/References. The Executive shall be entitled, to the extent permitted under any applicable law, to select and change a beneficiary or beneficiaries to receive any compensation or benefit hereunder following the Executive’s death by giving the Company written notice thereof. In the event of the Executive’s death or a judicial determination of his incompetence, reference in this Agreement to the Executive shall be deemed, where appropriate, to refer to his beneficiary, estate or other legal representative, as applicable.

Exhibit 10.48

(g)  Entire Agreement. This Agreement (together with Exhibit A and Schedule I thereto) constitutes the entire understanding and agreement between the parties concerning the specific subject matter hereof and supersedes in its entirety, as of the Effective Date, any prior agreement between the parties (including but not limited to the Term Sheet and the Severance Plan, other than as expressly provided in this Section 4).
(h)  Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Texas.
(i)  Notices. All notices required or permitted to be given by either party hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed sufficiently given if mailed by registered or certified mail, or personally delivered to the party entitled thereto at the address set forth in the Severance Plan for such party.
(j)  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts with the same effect as if the signatures to all such counterparts were upon the same instrument, and all such counterparts shall constitute but one instrument. 
(k)  Headings.  The headings of sections and subsections are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not control the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the date and year first above written.

Exhibit A 
RELEASE OF CLAIMS
As used in this Release of Claims (this “Release”), the term “claims” will include all claims, covenants, warranties, promises, undertakings, actions, suits, causes of action, obligations, debts, accounts, attorneys’ fees, judgments, losses, and liabilities, of whatsoever kind or nature, in law, in equity, or otherwise.
For and in consideration of the severance payments and benefits set forth on Schedule I attached hereto (the “Severance Benefits”), and other good and valuable consideration, I, Fred Tuomi, for and on behalf of myself and my heirs, administrators, executors, and assigns, effective the date on which this release becomes effective pursuant to its terms, do fully and forever release, remise, and discharge each of Invitation Homes Inc. (the “Company”) and each of its direct and indirect subsidiaries and affiliates, together with their respective officers, directors, partners, shareholders, employees, and agents (collectively, the “Group”) from any and all claims whatsoever up to the date hereof that I had, may have had, or now have against the Group, for or by reason of any matter, cause, or thing whatsoever, including any claim arising out of or attributable to my employment or the termination of my employment with the Company, whether for tort, breach of express or implied employment contract, intentional infliction of emotional distress, wrongful termination, unjust dismissal, defamation, libel, or slander, or under any federal, state, or local law dealing with discrimination based on age, race, sex, national origin, handicap, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or any other category protected by law.  This release of claims includes, but is not limited to, all claims arising under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (“ADEA”), the Civil Rights Acts, including, but not limited to, Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Family Medical Leave Act, and the Equal Pay Act, each as may be amended from time to time, and all other federal, state, and local laws, or the common law, relating to employment, discrimination in employment, termination of employment, wages, benefits or otherwise. The release contained herein is intended to be a general release of any and all claims to the fullest extent permissible by law.
I acknowledge and agree that as of the date I execute this Release, I have no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that give rise or could give rise to any claims under any of the laws listed in the preceding paragraph.
By executing this Release, I specifically release all claims relating to my employment and its termination under ADEA, a United States federal statute that, among other things, prohibits discrimination on the basis of age in employment and employee benefit plans.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Release to the contrary, by executing this Release, I am not releasing (i) any right to the Severance Benefits, (ii) any claims that cannot be waived by law, or (iii) my right of indemnification as provided by, and in accordance with the terms of, the Company’s by-laws or a Company insurance policy providing such coverage, as any of such may be amended from time to time.  In addition, this Release does not waive my right to receive benefits under any 401(k) plan, equity grant, equity plan, or pension plan, if any, that either (a) have accrued or vested prior to the date of this Release, or (b) are intended, under the terms of such grant or plans, to survive my separation from the Company;
I expressly acknowledge and agree that I - 
•Have read and understand the meaning and effect of this Release; 
•Am specifically agreeing to the terms of the release contained in this Release because the Company has agreed to pay me the Severance Benefits in consideration for my agreement to accept it in full settlement of all possible claims I might have or ever had, and because of my execution of this Release;
•Acknowledge that, but for my execution of this Release, I would not be entitled to the Severance Benefits;

Exhibit 10.48

•Understand that, by entering into this Release, I do not waive rights or claims under ADEA that may arise after the date I execute this Release;
•Had or could have twenty-one (21) days from the date of my termination of employment (the “Release Expiration Date”) in which to review and consider this Release, and that if I execute this Release prior to the Release Expiration Date, I have voluntarily and knowingly waived the remainder of the review period;
•Have not relied upon any representation or statement not set forth in this Release made by the Company or any of its representatives; 
•Was advised to consult with my attorney regarding the terms and effect of this Release; and
•Have signed this Release knowingly and voluntarily.
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this Release will not become effective or enforceable prior to the expiration of the period of seven (7) calendar days following the date of its execution by me (the “Revocation Period”), during which time I may revoke my acceptance of this Release by notifying the Company and the Board of Directors of the Company, in writing, delivered to the Company at its principal executive office, marked for the attention of Mark Solls, the Company’s Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer.  To be effective, such revocation must be received by the Company no later than 11:59 p.m. on the seventh (7th) calendar day following the execution of this Release.  Provided that the Release is executed and I do not revoke it during the Revocation Period, the eighth (8th) day following the date on which this Release is executed shall be its effective date.  I acknowledge and agree that if I revoke this Release during the Revocation Period, this Release will be null and void and of no effect, and neither the Company nor any other member of the Company will have any obligations to pay me the Severance Benefits.
The provisions of this Release shall be binding upon my heirs, executors, administrators, legal personal representatives, and assigns.  If any provision of this Release shall be held by any court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, void, or unenforceable, such provision shall be of no force or effect.  The illegality or unenforceability of such provision, however, shall have no effect upon and shall not impair the enforceability of any other provision of this Release.    

EXCEPT WHERE PREEMPTED BY FEDERAL LAW, THIS RELEASE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH FEDERAL LAW AND THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED IN THAT STATE WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS.  I HEREBY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUIT, ACTION, OR PROCEEDING UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS RELEASE.

(ii) LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  Notwithstanding the immediately preceding two sentences but subject to Section 2.16., any such borrowing of Revolving Loans may be in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments of all Revolving Lenders minus the sum of the aggregate principal balance of all Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans outstanding and the Letter of Credit Liabilities, which Revolving Loans, if less than $100,000, must be Base Rate Loans.  Within the foregoing limits and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Revolving Loans.
(b)    Requests for Revolving Loans. Not later than 1:00 p.m. Central time at least one (1) Business Day prior to a borrowing of Revolving Loans that are to be Base Rate Loans and not later than 1:00 p.m. Central time at least three (3) Business Days prior to a borrowing of Revolving Loans that are to be LIBOR Loans, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing.  Each Notice of Borrowing shall specify the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Loans to be borrowed, the date such Revolving Loans are to be borrowed (which must be a Business Day), the Type of the requested Revolving Loans, and if such Revolving Loans are to be LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest Period for such Revolving Loans.  Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the Borrower.  If the Borrower fails to indicate the Type of Revolving Loans being borrowed in a Notice of Borrowing, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Revolving Loans that are LIBOR Loans having an Interest Period of one month.  If no Interest Period is specified with respect to any requested Revolving Loan that is a LIBOR Loan, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have selected an Interest Period of one month’s duration.  Prior to delivering a Notice of Borrowing, the Borrower may (without specifying whether a Revolving Loan will be a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Loan) request that the Administrative Agent provide the Borrower with the most recent LIBOR available to the Administrative Agent.  The Administrative Agent shall provide such quoted rate to the Borrower on the date of such request or as soon as possible thereafter.
(c)    Funding of Revolving Loans.  Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing under the immediately preceding subsection (b), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the proposed borrowing.  Each Revolving Lender shall deposit an amount equal to the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender to the Borrower with the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time on the date of such proposed Revolving Loans.  Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall make available to the Borrower in the account specified in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement, not later than 1:00 p.m. Central time on the date of the requested borrowing of Revolving Loans, the proceeds of such amounts received by the Administrative Agent.  No Revolving Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make a Revolving Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Revolving Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Revolving Lender to make a Revolving Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Revolving Lender to make any Revolving Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Revolving Lender.
(d)    Assumptions Regarding Funding by Revolving Lenders.  With respect to Revolving Loans to be made after the Effective Date, unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Revolving Lender that such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent a Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender in connection with any borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender will make the proceeds of such Revolving Loan available to the Administrative Agent in accordance with this Section, and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower the amount of such Revolving Loan to be provided by such Lender.  In such event, if such Lender does not make available to 

	
			
	 
	38
	 

the Administrative Agent the proceeds of such Revolving Loan, then such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent within three (3) Business Days following written demand the amount of such Revolving Loan with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such Revolving Loan is made available to the Borrower but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation and (ii) in the case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to Base Rate Loans.  If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay the amount of such interest to the Administrative Agent for the same or overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period.  If such Lender pays to the Administrative Agent the amount of such Revolving Loan, the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Revolving Loan included in the borrowing.  Any payment by the Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Revolving Lender that shall have failed to make available the proceeds of a Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender.

		
	Section 2.2.  
	Term Loans. 

(a)    Making of Term Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, on the Effective Date, each Term Loan Lender severally and not jointly agrees to make a Term Loan denominated in Dollars to the Borrower in the aggregate principal amount equal to the amount of such Lender’s Term Loan Commitment.  Upon a Term Loan Lender’s funding of its Term Loan, the Term Loan Commitment of such Lender shall terminate.  The Term Loans shall amortize as set forth in Section 2.7.(b).
(b)    Requests for Term Loans.  Not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time at least three (3) Business Days prior to the anticipated Effective Date, the Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent notice requesting that the Term Loan Lenders make the Term Loans on the Effective Date, specifying the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans to be borrowed, the Type of the Term Loans, and if such Term Loans are to be LIBOR Loans, the initial Interest Period for the Term Loans and providing for compensation on terms consistent with Section 5.4.  Such notice shall be irrevocable once given and binding on the Borrower.  Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Term Loan Lender.
(c)    Funding of Term Loans.  Each Term Loan Lender shall deposit an amount equal to the Term Loan to be made by such Term Loan Lender to the Borrower with the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, in immediately available funds, not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time on the Effective Date.  Subject to fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, the Administrative Agent shall make available to the Borrower in the account specified by the Borrower in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement, not later than 2:00 p.m. Central time on the Effective Date, the proceeds of such amounts received by the Administrative Agent.  The Borrower may not reborrow any portion of the Term Loans once repaid or prepaid.

		
	Section 2.3.  
	Letters of Credit. 

(a)    Letters of Credit.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, Section 2.16., each Issuing Bank, on behalf of the Revolving Lenders, agrees to issue for the account of the Borrower during the period from and including the Effective Date to, but excluding, the date thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, one or more standby letters of credit (including the Existing Letters of Credit, each, a “Letter of Credit”) denominated in Dollars up to a maximum aggregate Stated Amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed $50,000,000, as such amount 

	
			
	 
	39
	 

may be reduced from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof (the “L/C Commitment Amount”); provided that, unless such Issuing Bank shall otherwise consent, no Issuing Bank shall be obligated to issue Letters of Credit hereunder having a maximum aggregate Stated Amount at any one time outstanding in excess of the lesser of (i) one-third of the L/C Commitment Amount and (ii) an amount equal to (x) the Revolving Commitment of such Issuing Bank in its capacity as a Revolving Lender hereunder, minus (y) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities made by such Issuing Bank in its capacity as a Revolving Lender.  The Existing Letters of Credit shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued hereunder on the Effective Date.
(b)    Terms of Letters of Credit.  At the time of issuance or amendment, the amount, form, terms and conditions of each Letter of Credit (or amendment thereto, as applicable), and of any drafts or acceptances thereunder, shall be subject to approval by the applicable Issuing Bank and the Borrower.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may (i) the expiration date of any Letter of Credit extend beyond the Revolving Termination Date or (ii) any Letter of Credit have an initial duration in excess of one (1) year; provided, however, that a Letter of Credit may contain a provision providing for the automatic extension of the expiration date in the absence of a notice of non-renewal from the applicable Issuing Bank, but in no event shall any such provision permit the extension of the current expiration date of such Letter of Credit beyond the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Termination Date.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Letter of Credit may, as a result of its express terms or as the result of the effect of an automatic extension provision, have an expiration date of not more than one (1) year beyond the Revolving Termination Date (any such Letter of Credit being referred to as an “Extended Letter of Credit”), so long as the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the applicable Issuing Bank and the Revolving Lenders no later than thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account in an amount equal to the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit; provided, that the obligations of the Borrower under this Section in respect of such Extended Letters of Credit shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall remain in effect until no such Extended Letters of Credit remain outstanding.  If the Borrower fails to provide Cash Collateral with respect to any Extended Letter of Credit by the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Termination Date, such failure shall be treated as a drawing under such Extended Letter of Credit (in an amount equal to the maximum Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit), which shall be reimbursed (or participations therein funded) by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with the immediately following subsections (i) and (j), with the proceeds being utilized to provide Cash Collateral for such Letter of Credit.  The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall be at least $100,000 (or such lesser amount as may be acceptable to the applicable Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower).
(c)    Requests for Issuance of Letters of Credit.  The Borrower shall give the applicable Issuing Bank being requested to issue such Letter of Credit and the Administrative Agent written notice at least four (4) Business Days prior (or such shorter period as may be mutually agreed by the Borrower and such Issuing Bank) to the requested date of issuance of a Letter of Credit, such notice to describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions or obligations proposed to be supported by such Letter of Credit, and in any event shall set forth with respect to such Letter of Credit the proposed (i) initial Stated Amount, (ii) beneficiary, and (iii) expiration date.  The Borrower shall also execute and deliver such customary applications and agreements for standby letters of credit, and other forms as requested from time to time by such Issuing Bank.  Provided that the Borrower has given the notice prescribed by the first sentence of this subsection and delivered such applications and agreements referred to in the preceding sentence, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the satisfaction of any applicable conditions precedent set forth in Section 6.2., such Issuing Bank shall issue the requested Letter of Credit on the requested date of issuance for the benefit of 

	
			
	 
	40
	 

the stipulated beneficiary but in any event no later than the date four (4) Business Days following the date after which such Issuing Bank has received all of the items required to be delivered to it under this subsection.  No Issuing Bank shall at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause any Issuing Bank or any Revolving Lender to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law.  Upon the written request of the Borrower, the applicable Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Borrower a copy of (x) any Letter of Credit proposed to be issued hereunder prior to the issuance thereof and (y) each issued Letter of Credit within a reasonable time after the date of issuance thereof.  To the extent any term of a Letter of Credit Document (excluding any certificate or other document presented by a beneficiary in connection with a drawing under such Letter of Credit) is inconsistent with a term of any Loan Document, the term of such Loan Document shall control.  The Borrower shall examine the copy of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a Letter of Credit that is delivered to it by the applicable Issuing Bank and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will promptly (but in any event, within five (5) Business Days after the later of (A) receipt by the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit of the original of, or amendment or other modification to, such Letter of Credit, as applicable and (B) receipt by the Borrower of a copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment or other modification, as applicable) notify such Issuing Bank.  The Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the applicable Issuing Bank and its correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(d)    Reimbursement Obligations.  Upon receipt by the applicable Issuing Bank from the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of any demand for payment under such Letter of Credit and such Issuing Bank’s determination that such demand for payment complies with the requirements of such Letter of Credit, such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of the amount to be paid by such Issuing Bank as a result of such demand and the date on which payment is to be made by such Issuing Bank to such beneficiary in respect of such demand; provided, however, that such Issuing Bank’s failure to give, or delay in giving, such notice shall not discharge the Borrower in any respect from the applicable Reimbursement Obligation.  The Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to pay and reimburse such Issuing Bank for the amount of each demand for payment under such Letter of Credit at or prior to the date on which payment is to be made by such Issuing Bank to the beneficiary thereunder, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind.  Upon receipt by such Issuing Bank of any payment in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation owing with respect to a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, such Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender that has acquired a participation therein under the second sentence of the immediately following subsection (i) such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such payment.
(e)    Manner of Reimbursement.  Upon its receipt of a notice referred to in the immediately preceding subsection (d), the Borrower shall advise the Administrative Agent and the applicable Issuing Bank whether or not the Borrower intends to borrow hereunder to finance its obligation to reimburse such Issuing Bank for the amount of the related demand for payment and, if it does, the Borrower shall submit a timely request for such borrowing as provided in the applicable provisions of this Agreement.  If the Borrower fails to so advise the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank, or if the Borrower fails to reimburse such Issuing Bank for a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit by the date of such payment, the failure of which such Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, then (i) if the applicable conditions contained in Article VI. would permit the making of Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Revolving Loans (which shall be Base Rate Loans) in an amount equal to the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation and the Administrative Agent shall give each Revolving Lender prompt notice thereof and of the amount of the Revolving Loan to be made available to the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. Central time and (ii) if such 

	
			
	 
	41
	 

conditions would not permit the making of Revolving Loans, the provisions of subsection (j) of this Section shall apply.  The limitations set forth in the second sentence of Section 2.1.(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of Base Rate Loans under this subsection.
(f)    Effect of Letters of Credit on Revolving Commitments.  Upon the issuance by any Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit and until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or been cancelled, the Revolving Commitment of each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to be utilized for all purposes of this Agreement in an amount equal to the product of (i) such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage and (ii) the sum of (A) the aggregate Stated Amount of all Letters of Credit plus (B) any related Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding.
(g)    Each Issuing Bank’s Duties Regarding Letters of Credit; Unconditional Nature of Reimbursement Obligations.  In examining documents presented in connection with drawings under Letters of Credit and making payments under such Letters of Credit against such documents, the applicable Issuing Bank shall only be required to use the same standard of care as it uses in connection with examining documents presented in connection with drawings under letters of credit in which it has not sold participations and making payments under such letters of credit.  The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, none of any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall be responsible for, and the Borrower’s obligations in respect of Letters of Credit shall not be affected in any manner by, (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing honored under any Letter of Credit even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit, or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) the failure of the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit (provided, however, the within limitation shall not affect the applicable Issuing Bank’s liability for paying a drawing under any Letter of Credit when the beneficiary of such Letter of Credit has not substantially complied with the requirements imposed by such Letter of Credit for such drawing; provided further, no Issuing Bank shall have any duty to verify the existence or reasonableness of any act or condition referenced in or in connection with, or any statement in or in connection with, any drawing or presentment under any Letter of Credit); (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, facsimile, electronic mail, telecopy or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Issuing Banks, the Administrative Agent or the Revolving Lenders.  None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the Issuing Banks’, the Administrative Agent’s or any Lender’s rights or powers hereunder.  Any action taken or omitted to be taken by any Issuing Bank under or in connection with any Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment), shall not create against such Issuing Bank any liability to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any Lender.  In this connection, the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for any drawing made under any Letter of Credit, and to repay any Revolving Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of the immediately preceding subsection (e), shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any other applicable Letter of Credit Document under all circumstances 

	
			
	 
	42
	 

whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Document or any term or provisions therein; (B) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Documents; (C) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or in the Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction; (D) any breach of contract or dispute between or among the Borrower, any Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any other Person; (E) any demand, statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein or made in connection therewith being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (F) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (G) payment by any Issuing Bank under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not strictly comply, but which does substantially comply, with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and (H) any other act, omission to act, delay or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of, or provide a right of setoff against, the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations.
(h)    Amendments, Etc.  The issuance by the applicable Issuing Bank of any amendment, supplement or other modification to any Letter of Credit shall be subject to the same conditions applicable under this Agreement to the issuance of new Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, that the request therefor be made through such Issuing Bank and the Administrative Agent), and no such amendment, supplement or other modification shall be issued unless either (i) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such amended, supplemented or modified form or (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Revolving Lenders (or all of the Revolving Lenders, if required by Section 13.7.) shall have consented thereto.  In connection with any such amendment, supplement or other modification, the Borrower shall pay the fees, if any, payable under the last sentence of Section 3.5.(c).
(i)    Revolving Lenders’ Participation in Letters of Credit.  Immediately upon the issuance by any Issuing Bank of any Letter of Credit, each Revolving Lender shall be deemed to have absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from such Issuing Bank, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of the liability of such Issuing Bank with respect to such Letter of Credit and each Revolving Lender thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to such Issuing Bank to pay and discharge when due, such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such Issuing Bank’s liability under such Letter of Credit for which such Issuing Bank is not reimbursed in full by the Borrower through a Base Rate Loan or otherwise in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  In addition, upon the making of each payment by a Revolving Lender to the Administrative Agent for the account of any Issuing Bank in respect of any Letter of Credit issued by it pursuant to the immediately following subsection (j), such Revolving Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of such Issuing Bank, the Administrative Agent or such Revolving Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the Reimbursement Obligation owing to such Issuing Bank by the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a participation in a percentage equal to such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage in any interest or other amounts payable by the Borrower in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation (other than the Fees payable to such Issuing Bank pursuant to the second and the last sentences of Section 3.5.(c)).  Upon receipt by the applicable Issuing Bank of any payment in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation, such Issuing Bank shall promptly pay to each 

	
			
	 
	43
	 

Revolving Lender that has acquired a participation therein under the second sentence of this subsection (i), such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such payment.
(j)    Payment Obligation of Revolving Lenders.  Each Revolving Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, on demand or upon notice in accordance with subsection (e) above in immediately available funds in Dollars the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of each drawing paid by such Issuing Bank under each Letter of Credit issued by it to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to the immediately preceding subsection (d); provided, however, that in respect of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the maximum amount that any Revolving Lender shall be required to fund, whether as a Revolving Loan or as a participation, shall not exceed such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such drawing except as otherwise provided in Section 3.9.(d).  If the notice referenced in the second sentence of Section 2.3.(e) is received by a Revolving Lender not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time, then such Revolving Lender shall make such payment available to the Administrative Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. Central time on the date of demand therefor; otherwise, such payment shall be made available to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. Central time on the next succeeding Business Day.  Each Revolving Lender’s obligation to make such payments to the Administrative Agent under this subsection, whether as a Base Rate Loan or as a participation, and the Administrative Agent’s right to receive the same for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank, shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected in any way by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, (i) the failure of any other Revolving Lender to make its payment under this subsection, (ii) the financial condition of the Borrower, the Parent or any other Loan Party, (iii) the existence of any Default or Event of Default, including any Event of Default described in Sections 11.1.(e) or (f), (iv) the termination of the Revolving Commitments or (v) the delivery of Cash Collateral in respect of any Extended Letter of Credit.  Each such payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Issuing Bank shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or deduction whatsoever.
(k)    Information to Lenders.  Promptly following any change in Letters of Credit outstanding, the applicable Issuing Bank shall deliver to the Administrative Agent, which shall promptly deliver the same to each Revolving Lender and the Borrower, a notice describing the aggregate amount of all Letters of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank outstanding at such time.  Upon the request of the Administrative Agent from time to time, each Issuing Bank shall deliver any other information reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent (or a Revolving Lender through the Administrative Agent) with respect to such Letter of Credit that is the subject of the request.  Other than as set forth in this subsection, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to notify the Lenders regarding the issuance or other matters regarding Letters of Credit issued hereunder.  The failure of any Issuing Bank or the Administrative Agent to perform its requirements under this subsection shall not relieve any Revolving Lender from its obligations under the immediately preceding subsection (j).
(l)    Extended Letters of Credit.  Each Revolving Lender confirms that its obligations under the immediately preceding subsections (i) and (j) shall be reinstated in full and apply if the delivery of any Cash Collateral in respect of an Extended Letter of Credit is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise.

		
	Section 2.4.  
	Swingline Loans. 

(a)    Swingline Loans.  Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, including, without limitation, Section 2.16., each Swingline Lender may, in its sole discretion, make Swingline Loans 

	
			
	 
	44
	 

denominated in Dollars to the Borrower, during the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Swingline Maturity Date, in an aggregate principal amount for all Swingline Loans at any one time outstanding up to, but not exceeding, $50,000,000 (the “Swingline Sublimit”), as such amount may be reduced from time to time in accordance with the terms hereof; provided that no Swingline Lender shall be obligated to make Swingline Loans in an aggregate outstanding principal amount in excess of the lesser of (i) one-third of the Swingline Sublimit (unless otherwise expressly agreed by such Swingline Lender) and (ii) an amount equal to (x) the Revolving Commitment of such Swingline Lender in its capacity as a Revolving Lender hereunder, minus (y) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of Revolving Loans, Swingline Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities made by such Swingline Lender in its capacity as a Revolving Lender (such lesser amount being such Swingline Lender’s “Swingline Availability”).  If at any time the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans outstanding at such time exceeds the Swingline Sublimit at such time or the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans made by any Swingline Lender shall exceed such Swingline Lender’s Swingline Availability, the Borrower shall immediately pay the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender the amount of such excess.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow Swingline Loans hereunder.  Outstanding Swingline Loans shall reduce availability under the Revolving Facility on a dollar-for-dollar basis.  The borrowing of a Swingline Loan shall not constitute usage of any Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment for purposes of calculation of the fee payable under Section 3.5.(b).
(b)    Procedure for Borrowing Swingline Loans.  The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent and the applicable Swingline Lender being requested to make such Swingline Loan notice pursuant to a Notice of Swingline Borrowing or telephonic notice of each borrowing of a Swingline Loan.  Each Notice of Swingline Borrowing shall be delivered to such Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. Central time on the proposed date of such borrowing.  Any telephonic notice shall include all information to be specified in a written Notice of Swingline Borrowing and shall be promptly confirmed in writing by the Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Swingline Borrowing sent to such Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of communication on the same day of the giving of such telephonic notice.  Not later than 1:00 p.m. Central time on the date of the requested Swingline Loan and subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 6.2. for such borrowing and the applicable Swingline Lender’s determination in its sole discretion to make such Swingline Loan, such Swingline Lender will make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower in Dollars, in immediately available funds, at the account specified by the Borrower in the Notice of Swingline Borrowing.
(c)    Interest.  Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans or at such other rate or rates as the Borrower and the applicable Swingline Lender may agree from time to time in writing.  Interest on Swingline Loans is solely for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender (except to the extent a Revolving Lender acquires a participating interest in a Swingline Loan pursuant to the immediately following subsection (e)(ii)).  All accrued and unpaid interest on Swingline Loans shall be payable on the dates and in the manner provided in Section 2.5. with respect to interest on Base Rate Loans (except as the applicable Swingline Lender and the Borrower may otherwise agree in writing in connection with any particular Swingline Loan made by such Swingline Lender).
(d)    Swingline Loan Amounts, Etc.  Each Swingline Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof, or such other minimum amounts agreed to by the applicable Swingline Lender and the Borrower.  Any voluntary prepayment of a Swingline Loan must be in integral multiples of $100,000 or the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding 

	
			
	 
	45
	 

Swingline Loans (or such other minimum amounts upon which the applicable Swingline Lender and the Borrower may agree) and in connection with any such prepayment, the Borrower must give such Swingline Lender and the Administrative Agent prior written notice thereof no later than 12:00 p.m. Central time on the day prior to the date of such prepayment.
(e)    Repayment and Participations of Swingline Loans.
(i)    The Borrower agrees to repay each Swingline Loan within one (1) Business Day of demand therefor by the applicable Swingline Lender and, in any event, within five (5) Business Days after the date such Swingline Loan was made (or, if earlier, the date on which any Revolving Loan shall be made following the date such Swingline Loan shall be made pursuant to Section 2.1.); provided, that the proceeds of a Swingline Loan may not be used to pay a Swingline Loan.  Any Swingline Lender making demand for repayment of a Swingline Loan made by such Swingline Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent of such demand on the date such demand is made.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Swingline Loans on the Swingline Maturity Date (or such earlier date as such Swingline Lender and the Borrower may agree in writing).
(ii)    In lieu of demanding repayment of any outstanding Swingline Loan from the Borrower, the applicable Swingline Lender may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs such Swingline Lender to act on its behalf), request a borrowing of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans from the Revolving Lenders in an amount equal to the principal balance of such Swingline Loan.  The amount limitations contained in the second sentence of Section 2.1.(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of such Revolving Loans made pursuant to this subsection.  Such Swingline Lender shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of any such borrowing of Revolving Loans not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time at least one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed date of such borrowing.  Promptly after receipt of such notice of borrowing of Revolving Loans from such Swingline Lender under the immediately preceding sentence, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Revolving Lender of the proposed borrowing.  Not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time on the proposed date of such borrowing, each Revolving Lender will make available to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office for the account of such Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender.  The Administrative Agent shall pay the proceeds of such Revolving Loans to such Swingline Lender, which shall apply such proceeds to repay such Swingline Loan.  If the Revolving Lenders are prohibited from making Revolving Loans required to be made under this subsection for any reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, the occurrence of any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 11.1.(e) or (f), each Revolving Lender shall purchase from the applicable Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment Percentage of such Swingline Loan, by directly purchasing a participation in such Swingline Loan in such amount and paying the proceeds thereof to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Swingline Lender in Dollars and in immediately available funds.  A Revolving Lender’s obligation to purchase such a participation in a Swingline Loan shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including, without limitation, (A) any claim of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any other Person may have or claim against the Administrative Agent, any Swingline Lender or any other Person whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default (including, without limitation, any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Sections 11.1. (e) or (f)), or the termination of any 

	
			
	 
	46
	 

Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment, (C) the existence (or alleged existence) of an event or condition which has had or could have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, (D) any breach of any Loan Document by the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or (E) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.  If such amount is not in fact made available to such Swingline Lender by any Revolving Lender, such Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof, at the Federal Funds Rate.  If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon such Swingline Lender’s demand therefor, and until such time as such Lender makes the required payment, such Swingline Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swingline Loans in the amount of such unpaid participation obligation for all purposes of the Loan Documents (other than those provisions requiring the other Revolving Lenders to purchase a participation therein).  Further, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Revolving Loans, and any other amounts due it hereunder, to such Swingline Lender to fund Swingline Loans in the amount of the participation in Swingline Loans that such Lender failed to purchase pursuant to this Section until such amount has been purchased (as a result of such assignment or otherwise).

		
	Section 2.5.  
	Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans. 

(a)    Rates.  The Borrower promises to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender for the period from and including the date of the making of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following per annum rates:
(i)    during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time), plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans; and
(ii)    during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at LIBOR for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor, plus the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) automatically upon any Event of Default under Section 11.1.(a), (e) or (f), or (b) at the option of the Requisite Lenders (upon notice to the Borrower) while any other Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender and each Issuing Bank, as the case may be, interest at the Post-Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such Lender, on all Reimbursement Obligations and on any other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes held by such Lender to or for the account of such Lender (including, without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent permitted under Applicable Law).
(b)    Payment of Interest. All accrued and unpaid interest on the outstanding principal amount of each Loan shall be payable (i) with respect to any Base Rate Loan, monthly in arrears on the first day of each month, commencing with the first full calendar month occurring after the Effective Date, (ii) with respect to any LIBOR Loan, on the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto and, in the case of any LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period of more than three months’ duration, on each day prior to the last day of such Interest Period that occurs at three months’ duration after the first day of such Interest Period and (iii) on any date on which the principal balance of such Loan is due and payable in full (whether at maturity, due to acceleration or otherwise).  Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand.  All determinations by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate hereunder 

	
			
	 
	47
	 

shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error.

		
	Section 2.6.  
	Number of Interest Periods. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, there may be no more than eight (8) different Interest Periods for all Loans outstanding at the same time.

		
	Section 2.7.  
	Repayment of Loans; Amortization of Term Loans. 

(a)    Revolving Loans.  The Borrower promises to repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Revolving Loans on the Revolving Termination Date. 
(b)    Term Loans.  The Borrower promises to repay the Term Loans on the last Business Day of each of March, June, September and December, commencing on the first such date to occur after the Effective Date and thereafter until the Term Loan Maturity Date, in equal amounts of $8,750,000.00 on each such date (as adjusted from time to time pursuant to Section 2.8.(a) and Section 2.8.(b)).  To the extent not previously repaid, the Borrower shall pay the remaining outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Term Loans on the Term Loan Maturity Date.

		
	Section 2.8.  
	Prepayments. 

(a)    Optional.  Subject to Section 5.4., the Borrower may prepay any Loan at any time without premium or penalty.  The Borrower shall give the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Business Days prior written notice of the prepayment of any Loan.  Each voluntary prepayment of Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.
(b)    Mandatory. 
(i)    Revolving Commitment Overadvance.  If at any time the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, exceeds the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments, the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders, the amount of such excess.  All payments under this subsection (b)(i) shall be applied to pay all amounts of principal outstanding on the Revolving Loans and any Reimbursement Obligations pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2. and if any Letters of Credit are outstanding at such time, the remainder, if any, shall be deposited into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account for application to any Reimbursement Obligations.
(ii)    Key Properties Release Event.  If at any time the Borrower is required to prepay the applicable Adjusted Allocated Loan Amount with respect to any Key Property pursuant to Section 4.2.(a)(ii), such prepayment shall be applied first, to the Term Loans, pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2., for so long as the Term Loans remain outstanding, and second, to the outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans, to Cash Collateralize any outstanding Letters of Credit (and the Revolving Commitments shall be permanently reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis concurrently with such prepayment), pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2.  If the Borrower elects that such Property Release shall be an Amortized Property Release, the amount of the prepayment shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis by the amount of the aggregate amortization payments of the Term Loans paid pursuant to Section 2.7.(b) on or prior to such date of determination that have not been applied to reduce any Adjusted Allocated Loan Amount for 

	
			
	 
	48
	 

any other Property Release pursuant to this sentence on or prior to such date of determination; provided that the amount of the required prepayment may in no event be less than the Debt Yield Maintenance Payment Amount.  
(iii)    Permitted Unimproved Land, Outparcel and Permitted Unimproved Land Contributions.  If at any time the Borrower is required to make a prepayment pursuant to Section 4.2.(b), such prepayment shall be applied to the Term Loans, pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2., for so long as the Term Loans remain outstanding.  
(iv)    Cash Trap Trigger Events.  If at any time the Borrower elects to repay the Facilities pursuant to Section 4.4., the Borrower shall within ten (10) days after the applicable Cash Trap Trigger Event repay first, the outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans and Cash Collateralize any outstanding Letters of Credit, pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2., and second, the Term Loans, pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2., by the excess amount described in Section 4.4.  Any sums repaid in connection with the immediately preceding sentence in respect of the Revolving Loans may be reborrowed, provided that the Minimum Debt Yield Ratio (Outstandings) is not less than the Required Debt Yield Level then in effect.
(v)    Discretionary Appraisals.  If, after giving effect to any Discretionary Appraisals conducted pursuant to Section 4.3.(d), the Aggregate Facilities Amount is greater than 95% of the aggregate Appraised Value of all Borrowing Base Properties at such time, the Borrower shall, within ten (10) days after the Administrative Agent provides written notice to the Borrower of such discrepancy, repay first, the Term Loans, pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2., for so long as the Term Loans remain outstanding, and second, prepay the outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Loans, and Cash Collateralize any outstanding Letters of Credit (and the Revolving Commitments shall be permanently reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis concurrently with such prepayment), pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2., in an amount sufficient to cause the Aggregate Facilities Amount to be less than or equal to 95% of the aggregate Appraised Value of all Borrowing Base Properties at such time.
(vi)    Application of Mandatory Prepayments.  If the Borrower is required to pay any outstanding LIBOR Loans by reason of this Section 2.8.(b) prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period therefor, the Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 5.4.
(c)    No Effect on Derivatives Contracts.  No repayment or prepayment of the Loans pursuant to this Section shall affect any of the Borrower’s obligations under any Derivatives Contracts entered into with respect to the Loans.

		
	Section 2.9.  
	Late Charges. 

So long as the Post-Default Rate is not payable with respect to the Obligations as provided in Section 2.5., if any payment required under this Agreement is not paid within fifteen (15) days after it becomes due and payable, the Borrower shall pay a late charge for late payment to compensate the Lenders for the loss of use of funds and for the expenses of handling the delinquent payment, in an amount equal to three percent (3%) of such delinquent payment.  Such late charge shall be paid in any event not later than the due date of the next subsequent installment of principal and/or interest.  In the event the maturity of the Obligations hereunder occurs or is accelerated pursuant to Section 11.2., this Section shall apply only to payments overdue prior to the time of such acceleration.  This Section shall not be deemed to be a waiver of the Lenders’ right to accelerate payment of any of the Obligations as permitted under the terms of this Agreement.

	
			
	 
	49
	 

		
	Section 2.10.  
	Continuation. 

So long as there exists no Default or Event of Default, the Borrower may on any Business Day, with respect to any LIBOR Loan, elect to maintain such LIBOR Loan or any portion thereof as a LIBOR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan.  Each Continuation of a LIBOR Loan shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of that amount, and each new Interest Period selected under this Section shall commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period.  Each selection of a new Interest Period shall be made by the Borrower giving to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Continuation not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time on the third Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation.  Such notice by the Borrower of a Continuation shall be by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of communication in the form of a Notice of Continuation, specifying (a) the proposed date of such Continuation, (b) the LIBOR Loans and portions thereof subject to such Continuation and (c) the duration of the selected Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in such manner as is necessary to comply with all limitations on Loans outstanding hereunder.  Each Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given.  Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Continuation, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Continuation.  If the Borrower shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Section, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, continue as a LIBOR Loan with an Interest Period of one month; provided, however, that if a Default or Event of Default exists, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 2.11. or the Borrower’s failure to comply with any of the terms of such Section.

		
	Section 2.11.  
	Conversion. 

So long as there exists no Default or Event of Default, the Borrower may on any Business Day, upon the Borrower’s giving of a Notice of Conversion to the Administrative Agent by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of communication, Convert all or a portion of a Loan of one Type into a Loan of another Type.  Each Conversion of Base Rate Loans into LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess of that amount, and upon Conversion of a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan, the Borrower shall pay accrued interest to the date of Conversion on the principal amount so Converted in accordance with Section 2.5.  Any Conversion of a LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan.  Each such Notice of Conversion shall be given not later than 11:00 a.m. Central time one (1) Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into Base Rate Loans and three (3) Business Days prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into LIBOR Loans.  Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Conversion.  Subject to the restrictions specified above, each Notice of Conversion shall be by telecopy, electronic mail or other similar form of communication in the form of a Notice of Conversion specifying (a) the requested date of such Conversion, (b) the Type of Loan to be Converted, (c) the portion of such Type of Loan to be Converted, (d) the Type of Loan such Loan is to be Converted into and (e) if such Conversion is into a LIBOR Loan, the requested duration of the Interest Period of such Loan.  Each Notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given.

		
	Section 2.12.  
	Notes. 

(a)    Notes.  In the case of each Revolving Lender that has notified the Administrative Agent in writing that it elects to receive a Revolving Note, the Revolving Loans made by such Revolving Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a Revolving Note, payable to the order of 

	
			
	 
	50
	 

such Revolving Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Revolving Commitment as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed.  The Swingline Loans made by any Swingline Lender to the Borrower shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced at the request of such Swingline Lender by a Swingline Note payable to the order of such Swingline Lender.  To the extent requested by any Term Loan Lender, the Term Loan made by a Term Loan Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a Term Note, payable to the order of such Term Loan Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Term Loan and otherwise duly completed.
(b)    Records.  The date, amount, interest rate, Type and duration of Interest Periods (if applicable) of each Loan made by each Lender to the Borrower, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded or otherwise evidenced by one or more accounts or records in the ordinary course of business by such Lender and the Administrative Agent and such entries shall be binding on the Borrower absent manifest error; provided, however, that (i) any failure to so record or any error in doing so shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under any of the Loan Documents to pay any amount owing with respect to the Obligations and (ii) if there is a discrepancy between such accounts and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent, in the absence of manifest error, the accounts and records maintained by the Administrative Agent shall be controlling.
(c)    Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Notes.  Upon receipt by the Borrower of (i) written notice from a Lender that a Note of such Lender has been lost, stolen, destroyed, mutilated, inappropriately cancelled or inappropriately marked, and (ii) (A) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, an unsecured agreement of indemnity from such Lender in form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, or (B) in the case of mutilation, inappropriate cancellation or inappropriate marking, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Borrower shall at no expense to the Borrower execute and deliver to such Lender a new Note, identical in form and substance and dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed, mutilated, inappropriately cancelled or inappropriately marked Note.

		
	Section 2.13.  
	Voluntary Reductions of the Revolving Commitment. 

The Borrower may terminate or reduce the aggregate unused amount of the Revolving Commitments (for which purpose use of the Revolving Commitments shall be deemed to include the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities and the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans) at any time and from time to time without penalty or premium upon not less than five (5) Business Days prior written notice to the Administrative Agent of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction (which in the case of any partial reduction of the Revolving Commitments shall not be less than $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount in the aggregate) and shall be irrevocable once given and effective only upon receipt by the Administrative Agent (“Commitment Reduction Notice”); provided, however, the Borrower may not reduce the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments below $350,000,000 unless the Term Loans have been repaid in full.  Any such reduction shall reduce the Revolving Commitments of all Lenders on a pro rata basis.  Promptly after receipt of a Commitment Reduction Notice the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed termination or Revolving Commitment reduction.  Without limitation of the provisions of Section 2.18., the Revolving Commitments, once reduced or terminated pursuant to this Section, may not be increased or reinstated.  The Borrower shall pay all interest and fees on the Revolving Loans accrued to the date of such reduction or termination of the Revolving Commitments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders, including but not limited to any applicable compensation due to each Revolving Lender in accordance with Section 5.4. of this Agreement.

	Section 2.14.  
	[Reserved.] 

		
	Section 2.15.  
	Expiration Date of Letters of Credit Past Revolving Termination Date.  

If on the date the Revolving Commitments are terminated or reduced to zero (whether voluntarily, by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise) there are any Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder and the aggregate Stated Amount of such Letters of Credit exceeds the balance of available funds on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, then the Borrower shall, on such date, pay to the Administrative Agent, for its benefit and the benefit of the Revolving Lenders and the Issuing Banks, for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, an amount of money equal to the amount of such excess.  If a drawing pursuant to any such Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower authorizes the Administrative Agent to use the monies deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for the payment made by such Issuing Bank to the beneficiary with respect to such drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment.  If no drawing occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent shall pay to the Borrower (or to whomever else may be legally entitled thereto) the monies deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account with respect to such outstanding Letter of Credit, together with all interest accrued thereon, on or before the date thirty (30) days after the expiration date of such Letter of Credit.

		
	Section 2.16.  
	Amount Limitations.   

Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Lender shall be required to make any Loan, no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue any Letter of Credit and no reduction of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.13. shall take effect, if immediately after the making of such Loan, the issuance of such Letter of Credit or such reduction in the Revolving Commitments:
(a)    the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, would exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments at such time; or
(b)    the Minimum Debt Yield Ratio (Outstandings) would be less than the Required Debt Yield Level in effect at such time.

		
	Section 2.17.  
	Funds Transfer Disbursements. 

The Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to disburse the proceeds of any Loan made by the Lenders or any of their Affiliates pursuant to the Loan Documents as requested by an authorized representative of the Borrower to any of the accounts designated in the Disbursement Instruction Agreement. 

		
	Section 2.18.  
	Increase in Revolving Commitments; Incremental Term Loans. 

(a)    The Borrower shall have the right to request increases in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments or enter into one or more tranches of term loans denominated in Dollars (each an “Incremental Term Loan”) by providing written notice to the Administrative Agent, which notice shall be irrevocable once given and shall be subject to the approval of the Administrative Agent (and, with respect to any increase in the Revolving Commitments, each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender); provided, however, that any such increases of the Revolving Commitments and all such Incremental Term Loans 

	
			
	 
	52
	 

shall not exceed an aggregate amount of $50,000,000.  Each such increase in the Revolving Commitments or issuance of Incremental Term Loans must be an aggregate minimum amount of $10,000,000 and integral multiples of $10,000,000 (or such other amount as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower and, with respect to increases in the Revolving Commitments, each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender) in excess thereof.  
(b)    The Administrative Agent, in consultation with the Borrower, shall manage all aspects of the syndication of such increase in the Revolving Commitments or issuance of Incremental Term Loans, including decisions as to the selection of the existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders to be approached with respect to such increase and the allocations of the increase in the Revolving Commitments or issuance of Incremental Term Loans among such existing Lenders and/or other banks, financial institutions and other institutional lenders.  No Lender shall be obligated in any way whatsoever to increase its Revolving Commitment, provide a new Revolving Commitment or participate in such Incremental Term Loans, and any new Lender becoming a party to this Agreement in connection with any such requested increase must be an Eligible Assignee consented to by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and, in the case of an increase in the Revolving Commitment, each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender.  If a new Revolving Lender becomes a party to this Agreement, or if any existing Revolving Lender is increasing its Revolving Commitment, such Lender shall on the date it becomes a Lender hereunder (or in the case of an existing Lender, increases its Revolving Commitment) (and as a condition thereto) purchase from the other Revolving Lenders its Revolving Commitment Percentage (determined with respect to the Lenders’ respective Revolving Commitments and after giving effect to the increase of Revolving Commitments) of any outstanding Revolving Loans, by making available to the Administrative Agent for the account of such other Revolving Lenders, in same day funds, an amount equal to (A) the portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans to be purchased by such Lender, plus (B) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by the other Revolving Lenders under Section 2.4.(j) that have not been repaid, plus (C) interest accrued and unpaid to and as of such date on such portion of the outstanding principal amount of such Revolving Loans.  The Borrower shall pay to the Revolving Lenders amounts payable, if any, to such Revolving Lenders under Section 5.4. as a result of the prepayment of any such Revolving Loans.  
(c)    Revolving Loans made pursuant to any increased Revolving Commitment and the Incremental Term Loans (i) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Revolving Loans and the Term Loans, (ii) in the case of Incremental Term Loans, (x) shall not mature earlier than the Term Loan Maturity Date and (y) shall have no amortization or otherwise be permitted to be prepaid prior to the Term Loan Maturity Date and the payment in full of all outstanding principal of the Term Loans and (iii) shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any event no more favorably than) the Revolving Loans.  All Revolving Loans made pursuant to any increased Revolving Commitment and all Incremental Term Loans (x) shall be equally and ratably secured with the Revolving Facility and the Term Loan Facility and (y) shall rank pari passu in right of payment with the Revolving Loans and the Term Loans.  The terms and provisions of any Incremental Term Loans shall be as agreed by the Borrower and the Lenders providing such Incremental Term Loans and, taken as a whole, shall be treated substantially the same as (and in any event not more favorably than) the Term Loans and the Applicable Margin applicable to the Incremental Term Loans may deviate from the pricing of the Revolving Loans and the existing Term Loans.  
(d)    Incremental Term Loans may be made hereunder pursuant to an amendment or an amendment and restatement (an “Incremental Term Loan Amendment”) of this Agreement and, as appropriate, the other Loan Documents, executed by the Borrower, each Lender participating in such tranche and the Administrative Agent.  The Incremental Term Loan Amendment may, without the consent of any other Lenders, effect such amendments to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as may be 

	
			
	 
	53
	 

necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 2.18. 
(e)    Effecting the increase of the Revolving Commitments or issuance of Incremental Term Loans under this Section is subject to the following conditions precedent:  
(i)    the approval of any new Lender by the Administrative Agent and, solely with respect to any new Revolving Lender, each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank;
(ii)    no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence on the effective date of such increase;
(iii)    the representations and warranties made or deemed made by the Parent, the Borrower and each other Loan Party in the Loan Documents to which any of them is a party shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that, to the extent any representation or warranty is qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect or similar language, such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all respects) on and as of the effective date of such increase, except to the extent that such representations and warranties expressly relate solely to an earlier date (in which case such representations and warranties shall have been true and correct in all material respects (except that, to the extent any such representation or warranty is qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect or similar language, such representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date); and 
(iv)    the Administrative Agent shall have received each of the following, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent:  (A) if not previously delivered to the Administrative Agent, copies certified by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of (I) resolutions adopted by the general partner of the Borrower authorizing such increase and (II) resolutions adopted by the board of directors, general partner, managers, members or other appropriate governing body of each Guarantor authorizing the guaranty of such increase; (B) customary opinion of counsel to the Borrower and the Guarantors, and addressed to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders covering such customary matters as reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent; (C) new Revolving Notes or Term Notes executed by the Borrower, payable to any new Lenders and replacement Revolving Notes or Term Notes executed by the Borrower, payable to any existing Lenders increasing their Revolving Commitments or participating in the issuance of the Incremental Term Loans, in the amount of such Revolving Lender’s Revolving Commitment at the time of the effectiveness of the applicable increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments or such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Commitment at the time of the effectiveness of such Incremental Term Loans, in each case, to the extent requested by such Lender at least two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed effective date of such increase in Revolving Commitment or Incremental Term Loans; and (D) duly executed copies of such additional documents (including, without limitation, amendments to the Security Documents) as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request; provided that the Borrower shall pay the cost of any mortgages, Title Policy or any endorsement or update thereto, and any and all costs, fees, taxes, assessments or charges required to be paid in connection therewith.  
(f)    In connection with any increase in the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments or issuance of Incremental Term Loans pursuant to this Section 2.18., any Lender becoming a party hereto shall (i) execute such documents and agreements as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and (ii) in the case of any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the 

	
			
	 
	54
	 

United States of America, provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with “know your customer” and Anti-Money Laundering Laws, including, without limitation, the Patriot Act.

	Payments. 

(a)    Payments by the Borrower.  Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest, Fees and other amounts to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without setoff, deduction or counterclaim (excluding Taxes required to be withheld pursuant to Section 3.10.), to the Administrative Agent at the Principal Office, not later than 1:00 p.m. Central time on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day).  Subject to Section 11.5., the Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, specify to the Administrative Agent the amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied.  Each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any Note shall be paid to such Lender by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by such Lender to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the account of such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender.  Each payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the applicable Issuing Bank under this Agreement shall be paid to such Issuing Bank by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the wiring instructions provided by such Issuing Bank to the Administrative Agent from time to time, for the account of such Issuing Bank.  In the event the Administrative Agent fails to pay such amounts to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, within one (1) Business Day of receipt of such amounts, the Administrative Agent shall pay interest on such amount until paid at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect.  If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall continue to accrue at the rate, if any, applicable to such payment for the period of such extension.
(b)    Presumptions Regarding Payments by the Borrower.  Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or any Issuing Bank hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, the amount due.  In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or such Issuing Bank, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent on demand that amount so distributed to such Lender or such Issuing Bank, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.  

		
	Section 3.2.  
	Pro Rata Treatment. 

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein:  (a) each borrowing from the Revolving Lenders under Sections 2.1.(a), 2.3.(e) and 2.4.(e) shall be made from the Revolving Lenders, each payment of the

	
			
	 
	55
	 

 fees under Sections 3.5.(a), the first sentence of Section 3.5.(c) and 3.5.(d) shall be made for the account of the Revolving Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Revolving Commitments under Section 2.13. shall be applied to the respective Revolving Commitments of the Revolving Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Loans by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Loans held by them, provided that, subject to Section 3.9., if immediately prior to giving effect to any such payment in respect of any Revolving Loans the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans shall not be held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments in effect at the time such Revolving Loans were made, then such payment shall be applied to the Revolving Loans in such manner as shall result, as nearly as is practicable, in the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans being held by the Revolving Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments; (c) the making of Term Loans under Section 2.2.(a) shall be made from the Term Loan Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Term Loan Commitments; (d) each payment or prepayment of principal of Term Loans shall be made for the account of the Term Loan Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Term Loans held by them; (e) each payment of interest on Revolving Loans or Term Loans shall be made for the account of the Revolving Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, then due and payable to the respective Lenders; (f) the Conversion and Continuation of Revolving Loans or Term Loans of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Sections 5.1.(c) and 5.5.) shall be made pro rata among the Revolving Lenders or Term Loan Lenders, as applicable, according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each such Loan of such Type shall be coterminous; (g) the Revolving Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Swingline Loans under Section 2.4., shall be in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages; and (h) the Revolving Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Letters of Credit under Section 2.3., shall be in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages.  Any payment or prepayment of principal or interest made (i) during the existence of a Default or Event of Default shall be made for the account of the Lenders in accordance with the order set forth in Section 11.5. and (ii) pursuant to Section 2.8.(b)(i) shall be made for the account of the Lenders holding Revolving Commitments (or, if the Revolving Commitments have been terminated, holding Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities) in accordance with the order set forth in Section 11.5.  All payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts in respect of the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the applicable Swingline Lender only (except to the extent any Lender shall have acquired a participating interest in any such Swingline Loan pursuant to Section 2.4.(e), in which case such payments shall be pro rata in accordance with such participating interests).

		
	Section 3.3.  
	Sharing of Payments by Lenders. 

If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of its Loans or other Obligations owing to such Lender resulting in such Lender receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of its Loans and accrued interest thereon or other such Obligation greater than the share thereof as provided in Section 3.2. or Section 11.5., as applicable, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the Loans and such other Obligations owing to the other Lenders, or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments shall be shared by the applicable Lenders ratably in accordance with Section 3.2. or Section 11.5., as applicable; provided that:

	
			
	 
	56
	 

(i)    if any such participations are purchased and all or any portion of the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations shall be rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii)    the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement (including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 3.9.(e) or (z) any payment obtained by a Lender as consideration for the assignment of, or sale of a participation in, any of its Loans or participations in Swingline Loans or Letters of Credit to any assignee or participant, other than to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).
The Borrower consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so under Applicable Law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing arrangements may exercise against the Borrower rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.

		
	Section 3.4.  
	Several Obligations. 

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

		
	Section 3.5.  
	Fees. 

(a)    Closing Fee.  On the Effective Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent and each Lender all fees then due and payable as have been agreed to in writing by the Borrower, the Arrangers and the Administrative Agent in the Fee Letters or otherwise.
(b)    Facility Fees. During the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Revolving Termination Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Revolving Lenders an unused facility fee equal to the sum of the daily amount (the “Unused Amount”) by which the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments exceeds the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities set forth in the table below multiplied by the corresponding per annum rate:
	
		
	Unused Amount
	Unused Fee 
(percent per annum)

	Greater than or equal to 50.00% of the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments
	0.35%

	Less than 50.00% of the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments
	0.25%

	
			
	 
	57
	 

Such fee shall be computed on a daily basis and payable quarterly in arrears on the first day of each January, April, July and October during the term of this Agreement and on the Revolving Termination Date or any earlier date of termination of the Revolving Commitments or reduction of the Revolving Commitments to zero.  For the avoidance of doubt, for purposes of calculating an unused facility fee, the outstanding principal balance of Swingline Loans shall not be factored into the computation.
(c)    Letter of Credit Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Revolving Lender a letter of credit fee at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans times the daily average Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (x) to and including the date such Letter of Credit expires or is cancelled or terminated or (y) to but excluding the date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, while any Event of Default exists, such letter of credit fees shall accrue at the Post-Default Rate.  In addition to such fees, the Borrower shall pay to the applicable Issuing Bank solely for its own account, a fronting fee in respect of each Letter of Credit at the rate equal to 0.15 percent (0.15%) per annum on the daily average Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (A) to and including the date such Letter of Credit expires or is cancelled or (B) to but excluding the date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full; provided, however, that in no event shall the amount of such fronting fee in respect of any Letter of Credit be less than $1,500.  The fees provided for in the immediately preceding two sentences shall be non-refundable and payable in arrears (i) quarterly on the first day of January, April, July and October, (ii) on the Revolving Termination Date, (iii) on the date the Revolving Commitments are terminated or reduced to zero and (iv) thereafter from time to time on demand of the Administrative Agent.  The Borrower shall pay directly to such Issuing Bank from time to time on demand all commissions, charges, costs and expenses in the amounts customarily charged or incurred by such Issuing Bank from time to time in like circumstances with respect to the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of each Letter of Credit, drawings, amendments and other transactions relating thereto.
(d)    Administrative and Other Fees.  The Borrower agrees to pay the administrative and other fees of the Administrative Agent as provided in the Fee Letters and as may be otherwise agreed to in writing from time to time by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent.

		
	Section 3.6.  
	Computations. 

Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan, any Fees or any other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed for the actual number of days elapsed on the basis of a year of 360 days, except interest on Base Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable.

		
	Section 3.7.  
	Usury. 

In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that the Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith.  It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrower not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law.  The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in Section 2.5.(a)(i) and (ii) and, with respect 

	
			
	 
	58
	 

to Swingline Loans, in Section 2.4.(c).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, facility fees, closing fees, letter of credit fees, underwriting fees, default charges, late charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Administrative Agent or any Lender, in each case, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, are charges made to compensate the Administrative Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money.  All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned and non-refundable when due.

		
	Section 3.8.  
	Statements of Account. 

The Administrative Agent will account to the Borrower monthly with a statement of Loans, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the Administrative Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon the Borrower absent manifest error.  The failure of the Administrative Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.

		
	Section 3.9.  
	Defaulting Lenders. 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law:
(a)    Waivers and Amendments.  Such Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in the definition of Requisite Lenders and in Section 13.7.
(b)    Defaulting Lender Waterfall.  Any payment of principal, interest, Fees or other amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article XI. or otherwise) or received by the Administrative Agent from a Defaulting Lender pursuant to Section 13.4. shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender hereunder; third, to Cash Collateralize ratably the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender in accordance with subsection (e) below; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy such Defaulting Lender’s potential future funding obligations with respect to Loans under this Agreement and (y) Cash Collateralize ratably the Issuing Banks’ future Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender with respect to future Letters of Credit issued under this Agreement, in accordance with subsection (e) below; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any Swingline Lender against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no 

	
			
	 
	59
	 

Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender under Section 2.3.(j) in respect of Letters of Credit (such amounts, “L/C Disbursements”), in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share, and (y) such Loans were made or the related Letters of Credit were issued at a time when the conditions set forth in Article VI. were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and L/C Disbursements owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Disbursements owed to, such Defaulting Lender until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swingline Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (determined without giving effect to the immediately following subsection (d)).  Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents thereto.
(c)    Certain Fees.
(i)    Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive the Fee payable under Section 3.5.(b) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to the sum of (1) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Loans funded by it, and (2) its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the Stated Amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to the immediately following subsection (e).
(ii)    Each Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to receive letter of credit fees payable under Section 3.5.(c) for any period during which that Lender is a Defaulting Lender only to the extent allocable to its Revolving Commitment Percentage of the stated amount of Letters of Credit for which it has provided Cash Collateral pursuant to the immediately following subsection (e).
(iii)    With respect to any Fee not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately preceding clauses (i) or (ii), the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non‐Defaulting Lender that portion of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities or Swingline Loans that has been reallocated to such Non‐Defaulting Lender pursuant to the immediately following subsection (d), (y) pay to each Issuing Bank and each Swingline Lender, as applicable, the amount of any such Fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to such Issuing Bank’s or Swingline Lender’s Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender, and (z) not be required to pay the remaining amount of any such Fee.
(d)    Reallocation of Participations to Reduce Fronting Exposure.  All or any part of such Defaulting Lender’s participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swingline Loans shall be reallocated among the Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without regard to such Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment) but only to the extent that (x) the conditions set forth in Article VI. are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have otherwise notified the Administrative Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at such time), and (y) such 

	
			
	 
	60
	 

reallocation does not cause the aggregate Revolving Credit Exposure of any Non-Defaulting Lender to exceed such Non-Defaulting Lender’s Revolving Commitment.  Subject to Section 13.24., no reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Revolving Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lender’s increased exposure following such reallocation.
(e)    Cash Collateral, Repayment of Swingline Loans.
(i)    If the reallocation described in the immediately preceding subsection (d) above cannot, or can only partially, be effected, the Borrower shall, without prejudice to any right or remedy available to it hereunder or under law, (x) first, prepay Swingline Loans ratably in an amount equal to the Swingline Lenders’ Fronting Exposure and (y) second, Cash Collateralize ratably the Issuing Banks’ Fronting Exposure in accordance with the procedures set forth in this subsection.
(ii)    At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, within one (1) Business Day following the written request of the Administrative Agent or any Issuing Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall Cash Collateralize such Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure with respect to such Defaulting Lender (determined after giving effect to the immediately preceding subsection (d) and any Cash Collateral provided by such Defaulting Lender) in an amount not less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of such Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time.
(iii)    The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender, hereby grant to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Issuing Banks, and agree to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such Cash Collateral as security for the Defaulting Lenders’ obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities, to be applied pursuant to the immediately following clause (iv).  If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent and any Issuing Bank as herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the aggregate Fronting Exposure of such Issuing Bank with respect to Letters of Credit issued and outstanding at such time, the Borrower will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate such deficiency (after giving effect to any Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender).
(iv)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under this Section in respect of Letters of Credit shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Defaulting Lender’s obligation to fund participations in respect of Letter of Credit Liabilities (including, as to Cash Collateral provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued on such obligation) for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior to any other application of such property as may otherwise be provided for herein.
(v)    Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce any Issuing Bank’s Fronting Exposure shall no longer be required to be held as Cash Collateral pursuant to this subsection following (x) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of the applicable Revolving Lender), or (y) the determination by the Administrative Agent and such Issuing Bank that there exists excess Cash

	
			
	 
	61
	 

 Collateral; provided that, subject to the immediately preceding subsection (b), the Person providing Cash Collateral and such Issuing Bank may (but shall not be obligated to) agree that Cash Collateral shall be held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure or other obligations and provided further that to the extent that such Cash Collateral was provided by the Borrower, such Cash Collateral shall remain subject to the security interest granted pursuant to the Loan Documents.
(f)    Defaulting Lender Cure.  If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank agree in writing that a Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase at par that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause, as applicable, (i) the Revolving Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans to be held pro rata by the Revolving Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitment Percentages (determined without giving effect to the immediately preceding subsection (d)) and (ii) the Term Loans to be held by the Term Loan Lenders pro rata as if there had been no Term Loan Lenders that were Defaulting Lenders, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to Fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that, subject to Section 13.24., except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
(g)    New Swingline Loans/Letters of Credit.  So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) no Swingline Lender shall be required to fund any Swingline Loans unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect to such Swingline Loan and (ii) no Issuing Bank shall be required to issue, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit unless it is satisfied that it will have no Fronting Exposure after giving effect thereto.
(h)    Purchase of Defaulting Lender’s Commitment/Loans.  During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, by the Borrower giving written notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitment and Loans to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6.(b).  No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee.  In addition, any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire the face amount of all or a portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitments and Loans via an assignment subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.6.(b).  In connection with any such assignment, such Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and Assumption and, notwithstanding Section 13.6.(b), shall pay to the Administrative Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $7,500.  The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders.

		
	Section 3.10.  
	Taxes; Foreign Lenders. 

(a)    Issuing Banks.  For purposes of this Section, the term “Lender” includes each Issuing Bank and the term “Applicable Law” includes FATCA.

	
			
	 
	62
	 

(b)    Payments Free of Taxes.  Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document shall be made without deduction or withholding for any Taxes, except as required by Applicable Law.  If any Applicable Law (as determined in the good faith discretion of an applicable Withholding Agent) requires the deduction or withholding of any Tax from any such payment by a Withholding Agent, then the applicable Withholding Agent shall be entitled to make such deduction or withholding and shall timely pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law and, if such Tax is an Indemnified Tax, then the sum payable by the Borrower or other applicable Loan Party shall be increased as necessary so that after such deduction or withholding has been made (including such deductions and withholdings applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the applicable Recipient receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deduction or withholding been made.
(c)    Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower.  The Borrower and the other Loan Parties (other than the Parent and the General Partner) shall timely pay to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with Applicable Law, or at the option of the Administrative Agent timely reimburse it for the payment of, any Other Taxes.
(d)    Indemnification by the Borrower.  The Borrower and the other Loan Parties (other than the Parent and the General Partner) shall jointly and severally indemnify each Recipient, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Indemnified Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) payable or paid by such Recipient or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such Recipient and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(e)    Indemnification by the Lenders.  Each Lender shall severally indemnify the Administrative Agent, within ten (10) days after demand therefor, for (i) any Indemnified Taxes attributable to such Lender (but only to the extent that the Borrower or another Loan Party has not already indemnified the Administrative Agent for such Indemnified Taxes and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties to do so), (ii) any Taxes attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the provisions of Section 13.6. relating to the maintenance of a Participant Register and (iii) any Excluded Taxes attributable to such Lender, in each case, that are payable or paid by the Administrative Agent in connection with any Loan Document, and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority.  A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to any Lender by the Administrative Agent shall be conclusive absent manifest error.  Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender under any Loan Document or otherwise payable by the Administrative Agent to such Lender from any other source against any amount due to the Administrative Agent under this subsection.  The provisions of this subsection shall continue to inure to the benefit of an Administrative Agent following its resignation or removal as Administrative Agent.
(f)    Evidence of Payments.  As soon as practicable after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Governmental Authority pursuant to this Section, the Borrower or such other Loan Party shall deliver to the Administrative Agent the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent.

	
			
	 
	63
	 

(g)    Status of Lenders.  
(i)    Any Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding.  In addition, any Lender, if reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, the completion, execution and submission of such documentation (other than such documentation set forth in the immediately following clauses (ii)(A), (ii)(B) and (ii)(D)) shall not be required if in such Lender’s reasonable judgment such completion, execution or submission would subject such Lender to any material unreimbursed cost or expense or would materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of such Lender.
(ii)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that the Borrower is a U.S. Person:
(A)    any Lender that is a U.S. Person shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-9 (or any successor form) certifying that such Lender is exempt from U.S. federal backup withholding tax;
(B)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), whichever of the following is applicable:
(I)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party (x) with respect to payments of interest under any Loan Document, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “interest” article of such tax treaty and (y) with respect to any other applicable payments under any Loan Document, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, establishing an exemption from, or reduction of, U.S. federal withholding Tax pursuant to the “business profits” or “other income” article of such tax treaty;

	
			
	 
	64
	 

(II)    an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8ECI;
(III)    in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of the exemption for portfolio interest under Section 881(c) of the Internal Revenue Code, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit M-1 to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not a “bank” within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code, a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code, or a “controlled foreign corporation” described in Section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code (a “U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate”) and (y) an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable; or
(IV)    to the extent a Foreign Lender is not the beneficial owner, an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of an executed IRS Form W-8IMY, accompanied by IRS Form W-8ECI, IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit M-2 or Exhibit M-3, IRS Form W-9, and/or other certification documents from each beneficial owner, as applicable; provided that if a Foreign Lender is a partnership and one or more direct or indirect partners of such Foreign Lender are claiming the portfolio interest exemption, such Foreign Lender may provide a U.S. Tax Compliance Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit M-4 on behalf of each such direct and indirect partner;
(C)    any Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it is legally entitled to do so, deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time thereafter upon the reasonable request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent), an electronic copy (or an original if requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) of any other form prescribed by Applicable Law as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction in U.S. federal withholding Tax, duly completed, together with such supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by Applicable Law to permit the Borrower or the Administrative Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be made; and
(D)    if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Internal 

	
			
	 
	65
	 

Revenue Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent at the time or times prescribed by Applicable Law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Internal Revenue Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Administrative Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment.  Solely for purposes of this clause (D), “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement.
Each Lender agrees that if any form or certification it previously delivered expires or becomes obsolete or inaccurate in any respect, it shall update such form or certification or promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent in writing of its legal inability to do so.
(h)    Treatment of Certain Refunds.  If any party determines, in its sole discretion exercised in good faith, that it has received a refund of any Taxes as to which it has been indemnified pursuant to this Section (including by the payment of additional amounts pursuant to this Section), it shall pay to the indemnifying party an amount equal to such refund (but only to the extent of indemnity payments made under this Section with respect to the Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all out-of-pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund).  Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (h) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (h), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (h) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid.  This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.
(i)    Survival.  Each party’s obligations under this Section shall survive the resignation or replacement of the Administrative Agent or any assignment of rights by, or the replacement of, a Lender, the termination of the Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all obligations under any Loan Document.

Article IV. Borrowing Base Properties 

		
	Section 4.1.  
	Eligibility of Properties. 

(a)    Initial Borrowing Base Properties.  The Properties identified on Schedule 4.1.(a) (which shall include, without limitation, at least three (3) 120% Key Properties as of the Effective Date) shall, on the Effective Date, be Borrowing Base Properties, and the Appraised Value initially attributable 

	
			
	 
	66
	 

to each such Property shall be as disclosed in writing to and approved by the Lenders prior to the Effective Date.  
(b)    Additional Borrowing Base Properties.  If after the Effective Date, the Borrower desires that the Lenders include any additional Property as a Borrowing Base Property, the Borrower shall so notify the Administrative Agent in writing.  No Property will be evaluated by the Lenders unless and until (x) such Property satisfies the criteria set forth in the definition of “Eligible Property” and (y) the Borrower delivers to the Administrative Agent (and the Administrative Agent shall promptly make available to the Lenders) the items set forth on Schedule 4.1.(b), each in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and each Lender.
(c)    Final Approval.  Upon its receipt and review of the documents and information set forth in the preceding subsection (b), if the Administrative Agent shall recommend approval and acceptance of such Property as a Borrowing Base Property, the Administrative Agent will so notify the Borrower and each Lender within ten (10) Business Days after receipt and review of all of such documents and information.

Within ten (10) Business Days after the date on which a Lender has received all of the items referred to in the preceding subsection (b) and the Administrative Agent’s recommendation of approval pursuant to this Section 4.1.(c), such Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent in writing whether or not such Lender accepts such Property as a Borrowing Base Property.  If a Lender fails to give such notice within such time period, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved such Property as a Borrowing Base Property.  Such Property shall become a Borrowing Base Property subject to satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions:
(i)    the Administrative Agent shall have received:
(A)written approval of all of the Lenders;
(B)    if such property is owned by a Subsidiary of the Parent that is not the Borrower or a Subsidiary Grantor, all of the items required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent under Section 8.14.(a) if not previously delivered;

(ii)    With respect to the release of any Key Property, the Borrower shall have prepaid the Adjusted Allocated Loan Amount with respect to such Property in accordance with Section 2.8.(b)(ii); provided that after the release of the first $350,000,000 of the aggregate Adjusted Allocated Loan Amounts of the Key Properties (such release, the “Key Properties Release Event”), the pro forma Minimum Debt Yield Ratio (Outstandings) shall not be less than 12.25% after giving effect to such release and each Property Release occurring after the Key Properties Release Event; provided, further, that (x) the Properties known as Mall Del Norte and West Towne Mall shall remain Borrowing Base Properties at all times prior to the payment in full of the Term Loans and (y) at least one of the Properties known as Mall Del Norte and West Towne Mall shall remain a Borrowing Base Property at all times during the term of the Facilities;
(iii)    No Default or Event of Default exists and is continuing or would exist immediately after giving effect to such Property Release;

	68
	 

representation or warranty shall have been true and correct in all respects) on and as of such earlier date); and
(vi)    At least ten (10) Properties shall be Borrowing Base Properties at all times during the term of the Facilities; provided that in no event shall any of the Required Borrowing Base Properties be released during the term of the Facilities.

(c)    Special Release Parcels.  With respect to those parcels located at Hanes Mall, Layton Hills Mall, Mall Del Norte and Northgate Mall specifically identified on Schedule 4.2.(c) hereof (each a “Special Release Parcel” and collectively, the “Special Release Parcels”), the Borrower or a Subsidiary Grantor may elect to have any of the Special Release Parcels re-platted and subdivided in accordance with Applicable Law (the “Subdivision Process”), and request that a Special Release Parcel be released from the Lien of any applicable Security Deed.  The Administrative Agent agrees to cooperate with Borrower, at the Borrower’s cost and expense, by executing any plat or other documentation in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, that may reasonably be required by any Governmental Authority in connection with the Subdivision Process.  Notwithstanding the foregoing subsections (a) and (b), promptly following written notice from the Borrower that the Subdivision Process for any Special Release Parcel has been completed, the Administrative Agent shall, at the Borrower’s cost and expense, deliver, and the Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent to deliver, an instrument of release in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to the Borrower to release such Special Release Parcel from the Lien of the Security Documents applicable thereto; provided, that the following conditions must be satisfied in order for the Borrower or a Subsidiary Grantor to obtain the release of any Special Release Parcel from the Lien of any applicable Security Deed:

All Appraisals shall be engaged by the Administrative Agent at the Borrower’s expense and shall be subject to satisfactory review and approval of the Administrative Agent.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Lender may conduct Appraisals of any Property at any time at such Lender’s expense; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, such Appraisal shall not be used in determining or redetermining the Appraised Value of a Borrowing Base Property.

		
	Section 4.4.  
	Cash Trap Trigger Events. 

If at any time the Minimum Debt Yield Ratio (Outstandings) is less than or equal to the Required Debt Yield Level in effect at such time (any such occurrence, the “Cash Trap Trigger Event”), the Borrower shall, at its election, within ten (10) days (or such longer period as the Administrative Agent may determine in its sole discretion; provided that any extension of such period for more than five (5) Business Days shall require the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders) after such Cash Trap Trigger Event (a) repay the Facilities by such excess in accordance with Section 2.8.(b)(iv) or (b) cause all rents and other revenues from the Borrowing Base Properties to be deposited into one or more accounts controlled by the Administrative Agent (which amounts (less any amounts for actual expenses of the type described in clause (b) of the definition of “Net Operating Income” to the extent such amounts shall be approved by the Administrative Agent in its discretion to be released to the Borrower for application to such expenses; provided that such expenses shall exclude expenses for development or material 

	
			
	 
	70
	 

improvement of such Property without the consent of the Requisite Lenders, but may include approved expenses for capital expenditures, tenant improvement allowances and emergency repair expenses), in the sole discretion of the Administrative Agent and the Requisite Lenders, may be applied to the Obligations then due and payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents); provided that at any time that the Minimum Debt Yield Ratio (Outstandings) shall be greater than the Required Debt Yield Level in effect at such time (x) for at least two (2) consecutive full fiscal quarters after such Cash Trap Trigger Event or (y) for at least one (1) full fiscal quarter after such Cash Trap Trigger Event as a result of the Borrower’s election to repay the Facilities in accordance with Section 2.8.(b)(iv) in an amount sufficient to cause the Minimum Debt Yield Ratio (Outstandings) to be greater than the Required Debt Yield Level in effect at such time, in each case, the requirement in the foregoing clause (b) shall terminate with respect to such Cash Trap Trigger Event and amounts on deposit in such account shall be returned to the Borrower (or other Person legally entitled thereto).

Article V. Yield Protection, Etc. 

		
	Section 5.1.  
	Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy. 

(a)    Capital Adequacy.  If any Lender determines that any Regulatory Change affecting such Lender or any lending office of such Lender or such Lender’s holding company, if any, regarding capital or liquidity ratios or requirements, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s capital or on the capital of such Lender’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of Credit or Swingline Loans held by, such Lender, to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender’s holding company could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s holding company with respect to capital adequacy and liquidity), then from time to time within thirty (30) calendar days after written demand by such Lender, the Borrower will pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or such Lender’s holding company for any such reduction suffered.
(b)    Additional Costs.  In addition to, and not in limitation of the immediately preceding subsection (a), the Borrower shall following fifteen (15) days written demand therefor pay to the Administrative Agent on its own account or for the account of a Lender from time to time such amounts as the Administrative Agent or such Lender may reasonably determine to be necessary to compensate the 

	
			
	 
	71
	 

Administrative Agent or such Lender for any costs incurred by the Administrative Agent or such Lender that it reasonably determines are attributable to its making of or maintaining, continuing or converting any Loans or its obligation to make, maintain, continue or convert any Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by the Administrative Agent or such Lender of capital or liquidity in respect of its Loans or its Commitments (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), resulting from any Regulatory Change that:
(i)    changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to the Administrative Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or its Commitments (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and Connection Income Taxes);
(ii)    imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit, liquidity, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirements (other than Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other similar reserve requirement applicable to any other category of liabilities or category of extensions of credit or other assets by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined to the extent utilized when determining LIBOR for such Loans) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by such Lender (or its parent corporation), or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder); or
(iii)    imposes on any Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or the Loans made by such Lender.
(c)    Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans.  Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsection (a) and (b), if by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes LIBOR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall apply).
(d)    Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit.  Without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under the preceding subsections of this Section (but without duplication), if as a result of any Regulatory Change or any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement heretofore or hereafter issued by any Governmental Authority there shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable any Tax (other than Indemnified Taxes, Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and Connection Income Taxes), reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy, liquidity or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit and the result shall be to increase the cost to an Issuing Bank of issuing (or any Lender of purchasing participations in) or maintaining its obligation hereunder to issue (or purchase participations in) any Letter of Credit or reduce any amount receivable by an Issuing Bank or any Lender hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit, then, 

	
			
	 
	72
	 

upon demand by such Issuing Bank or such Lender, the Borrower shall pay immediately to such Issuing Bank or, in the case of such Lender, to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Issuing Bank or such Lender, such additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate such Issuing Bank or such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amount.
(e)    Notification and Determination of Additional Costs.  Each of the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to notify the Borrower (and in the case of an Issuing Bank or a Lender, to notify the Administrative Agent) of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable.  The failure of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder; provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or Lender shall fail to give such notice within forty-five (45) days after it obtains actual knowledge of such event, then the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or Lender, as the case may be, shall only be entitled to compensation under any of the preceding subsections for compensable amounts attributable to such event arising following the date the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or Lender, as the case may be, obtains actual knowledge of such event.  The Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender, as the case may be, agrees to furnish to the Borrower (and in the case of an Issuing Bank or a Lender to the Administrative Agent as well) a certificate setting forth the basis and amount of each request for compensation under this Section.  Determinations by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, as the case may be, of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.  The Borrower shall pay the Administrative Agent, any such Issuing Bank and or any such Lender, as the case may be, the amount shown as due on any such certificate within ten (10) days after receipt thereof.

		
	Section 5.2.  
	Suspension of LIBOR Loans. 

(a)    Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, unless and until a Replacement Rate is implemented in accordance with clause (b) below, if, on or prior to the determination of LIBOR for any Interest Period:
(i)    the Administrative Agent shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive) that reasonable and adequate means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period;
(ii)    the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits referred to in the definition of LIBOR are not being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities for purposes of determining rates of interest for LIBOR Loans as provided herein; or
(iii)    the Administrative Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period is to be determined are not likely to adequately cover the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining LIBOR Loans for such Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional LIBOR Loans, Continue LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans and the Borrower

shall, on the last day of each current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, either prepay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.
(b)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 5.2.(a) above, if the Administrative Agent has made the determination (or the Requisite Lenders have notified the Administrative Agent of their determination) (such determination to be conclusive absent manifest error) that (i) the circumstances described in Section 5.2.(a)(i) or (a)(ii) have arisen and that such circumstances are unlikely to be temporary, (ii) any applicable interest rate specified herein is no longer a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated loans in the U.S. syndicated loan market in the applicable currency or (iii) the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of any applicable interest rate specified herein or any Governmental Authority having, or purporting to have, jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent has made a public statement identifying a specific date after which any applicable interest rate specified herein shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans in the U.S. syndicated loan market in the applicable currency, then the Administrative Agent may, to the extent practicable (in consultation with the Borrower and as determined by the Administrative Agent to be generally in accordance with similar situations in other transactions in which it is serving as administrative agent or otherwise consistent with market practice generally), establish a replacement interest rate (the “Replacement Rate”), in which case, the Replacement Rate shall, subject to the next two sentences, replace such applicable interest rate for all purposes under the Loan Documents unless and until (A) an event described in Section 5.2.(a)(i), (a)(ii), (b)(i), (b)(ii) or (b)(iii) occurs with respect to the Replacement Rate or (B) the Requisite Lenders (directly, or through the Administrative Agent) notify the Borrower that the Replacement Rate does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to the Lenders of funding the Loans bearing interest at the Replacement Rate.  In connection with the establishment and application of the Replacement Rate, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be amended solely with the consent of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, as may be necessary or appropriate, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, to effect the provisions of this Section 5.2.(b).  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, Section 12.6.), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement so long as the Administrative Agent shall not have received, within five (5) Business Days of the delivery of such amendment to the Lenders, written notices from such Lenders that in the aggregate constitute Requisite Lenders, with each such notice stating that such Lender objects to such amendment.  To the extent the Replacement Rate is approved by the Administrative Agent in connection with this clause (b), the Replacement Rate shall be applied in a manner consistent with market practice; provided that, in each case, to the extent such market practice is not administratively feasible for the Administrative Agent, such Replacement Rate shall be applied as otherwise reasonably determined by the Administrative Agent (it being understood that any such modification by the Administrative Agent shall not require the consent of, or consultation with, any of the Lenders).

		
	Section 5.3.  
	Illegality. 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it is unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy of such notice to the Administrative Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended, in each case, until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5.5. shall be applicable).

		
	Section 5.4.  
	Compensation. 

	
			
	 
	74
	 

The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such amount or amounts as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its reasonable discretion shall be sufficient to compensate such Lender for any loss, cost or expense attributable to:
(a)    any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Loan, or Conversion of a LIBOR Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration or the exercise by the Borrower of its rights under Section 5.6.) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or
(b)    any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Section 6.2. to be satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Loan from such Lender on the date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or Continue a LIBOR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.
Not in limitation of the foregoing, such compensation shall include, without limitation; in the case of a LIBOR Loan, an amount equal to the then present value of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on such LIBOR Loan for the remainder of the Interest Period at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loan, less (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same LIBOR Loan for the same period if LIBOR were set on the date on which such LIBOR Loan was repaid, prepaid or Converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, Convert or Continue such LIBOR Loan, as applicable, calculating present value by using as a discount rate LIBOR quoted on such date.  Upon the Borrower’s request, the Administrative Agent shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof.  Any such statement shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

		
	Section 5.5.  
	Treatment of Affected Loans. 

If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(c), Section 5.2., or Section 5.3. then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 5.1.(c), Section 5.2., or Section 5.3. on such earlier date as such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, may specify to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, as applicable)) and, unless and until such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1., Section 5.2., or Section 5.3. that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:
(i)    to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and
(ii)    all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.
If such Lender, or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative Agent, as applicable) that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1.(c), Section 5.2. or Section 5.3. that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this 

	
			
	 
	75
	 

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

		
	Section 5.6.  
	Affected Lenders. 

If (a) a Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.10. or Section 5.1., and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same or (b) the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(c) or Section 5.3. but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended under such Sections, and in the case of clause (a) or (b) such Lender has declined or is unable to designate a different Lending Office in accordance with Section 5.7., or (c) a Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Non-Consenting Lender, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, demand that such Lender, and upon such demand such Lender shall promptly, assign and delegate, without recourse (in accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section 13.6.(b)), all of its interests, rights (other than its existing rights to payments pursuant to Section 3.10. or Section 5.1. and rights to indemnification under Section 13.10.) and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan Documents to an Eligible Assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender, if a Lender accepts such assignment); provided that:
(i)    the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee (if any) specified in Section 13.6.(b)(iv);
(ii)    such Lender shall have received payment of (x) the aggregate principal balance of all Loans then owing to such Lender, plus (y) the aggregate amount of payments previously made by such Lender under Section 2.3.(j) and Section 2.4.(e) that have not been repaid, plus (z) any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to such Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by such Lender and Eligible Assignee;
(iii)    in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under Section 5.1. or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.10., such assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; 
(iv)    such assignment does not conflict with Applicable Law; and
(v)    in the case of any assignment resulting from a Lender becoming a Non-Consenting Lender, the applicable assignee shall have consented to the applicable consent, approval, amendment or waiver.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.  Each of the Administrative Agent and each affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Lender under this Section, but at no time shall the Administrative Agent, such Lender nor any other Lender be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee.  The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the 

	
			
	 
	76
	 

Administrative Agent, such Lender or any of the other Lenders; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to reimburse or otherwise pay any such Lender’s administrative or legal costs incurred as a result of the Borrower’s exercise of its rights under this Section.  The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation to pay to any such Lender compensation owing to such Lender pursuant to Sections 3.10., 5.1. or 5.4. with respect to any matters or events existing on or prior to the date any such Lender ceases to be a party to this Agreement.

		
	Section 5.7.  
	Change of Lending Office. 

If any Lender requests compensation under Section 5.1., or requires the Borrower to pay any Indemnified Taxes or additional amounts to any Lender or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.10., then such Lender shall (at the written request of the Borrower) use reasonable efforts to designate a different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the judgment of such Lender, such designation or assignment (a) would eliminate or reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.10. or Section 5.1., as the case may be, in the future, and (b) would not subject such Lender to any unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender.  The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any Lender in connection with any such designation or assignment.

		
	Section 5.8.  
	Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans. 

Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Article V. shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded LIBOR Loans through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loans in an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loans and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article.

	80
	 

In addition to satisfaction or waiver of the conditions precedent to the first Credit Event contained in Section 6.1., the obligations of (i) the Lenders to make any Loans, and (ii) the Issuing Banks to issue, extend or increase any Letters of Credit are each subject to the further conditions precedent that:
(a)    in the case of the making of a Loan, no Default or Event of Default shall exist as of the date of the making of such Loan or would exist immediately after giving effect thereto;

Article VII. Representations and Warranties 

		
	Section 7.1.  
	Representations and Warranties. 

	
			
	 
	81
	 

In order to induce the Administrative Agent and each Lender to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans and to acquire participations in Letters of Credit and, in the case of each Issuing Bank, to issue Letters of Credit, the Borrower represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender as follows:
(a)    Organization; Power; Qualification.  Each of the Parent and the Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries is a corporation, limited liability company, partnership or other legal entity, duly organized or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation, has the power and authority to own or lease its respective properties and to carry on its respective business as now being and hereafter proposed to be conducted and is duly qualified and is in good standing as a domestic or foreign corporation, partnership or other legal entity, and authorized to do business, in each jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or the nature of its business requires such qualification or authorization and where the failure to be so qualified or authorized could reasonably be expected to have, in each instance, a Material Adverse Effect.  None of the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary is an EEA Financial Institution.
(b)    Ownership Structure.  Part I of Schedule 7.1.(b) is, as of the Agreement Date, a complete and correct list of each Loan Party, setting forth for each such Person, (i) the jurisdiction of organization of such Person, (ii) each Person (other than any Person holding any direct or indirect Equity Interests in the Parent, CBL Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc.) holding any direct or indirect Equity Interest in such Person, (iii) the nature of the Equity Interests held by each such Person, (iv) the percentage of ownership of such Person represented by such Equity Interests, and (v) whether such Person is the Parent, the Borrower, a Limited Subsidiary, a Subsidiary Guarantor, a Subsidiary Grantor and/or a Limited Grantor.  As of the Agreement Date, except as disclosed in such Schedule, (A) each of the Parent, the Borrower and its applicable Subsidiaries owns, free and clear of all Liens (other than Permitted Liens of the types described in clause (a) of the definition of the term “Permitted Liens”), and has the unencumbered right to vote, all outstanding Equity Interests in each Person shown to be held by it on Part I of Schedule 7.1.(b), (B) all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of each such Person organized as a corporation is validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and (C) there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, commitments, preemptive rights or agreements of any kind (including, without limitation, any stockholders’ or voting trust agreements) for the issuance, sale, registration or voting of, or outstanding securities convertible into, any additional shares of capital stock of any class, or partnership or other Equity Interests of any type in, any such Person.  As of the Agreement Date, Part II of Schedule 7.1.(b) correctly sets forth all Persons which own a Borrowing Base Property, including the correct legal name of such Person, the type of legal entity which each such Person is, and all Equity Interests in such Person held directly or indirectly by the Borrower.  Exhibit 21 to the Parent’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017, as supplemented by Part IV of Schedule 7.1.(b), is an accurate list of the Subsidiaries of the Parent as of the Effective Date (excluding those Subsidiaries that need not be disclosed on such Exhibit pursuant to Regulation S-K of the Securities Act).
(c)    Authorization of Loan Documents and Borrowings.  The Borrower has the right and power, and has taken all necessary corporate, limited liability company, or partnership action required to authorize it, to borrow and obtain other extensions of credit hereunder.  The Borrower, each other Loan Party and the Parent has the right and power, and has taken all necessary corporate, limited liability company, or partnership action required to authorize it, to execute, deliver and perform each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party in accordance with their respective terms and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.  The Loan Documents to which the Borrower, any other Loan Party or the Parent is a party have been duly executed and delivered by the duly authorized officers of such Person and each is a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Person enforceable against such 

	
			
	 
	82
	 

Person in accordance with its respective terms, except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and the availability of equitable remedies for the enforcement of certain obligations (other than the payment of principal) contained herein or therein and as may be limited by equitable principles generally.
(d)    Compliance of Loan Documents with Laws.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the other Loan Documents to which any Loan Party or the Parent is a party in accordance with their respective terms and the borrowings and other extensions of credit hereunder do not and will not, by the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both:  (i) require any Governmental Approval or violate any Applicable Law (including all Environmental Laws) relating to any Loan Party or the Parent; (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under the organizational documents of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or the Parent, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which any Loan Party or the Parent is a party or by which it or any of its respective properties may be bound; or (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any property now owned or hereafter acquired by any Loan Party or the Parent other than in favor of the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the other Lender Parties.
(e)    Compliance with Law; Governmental Approvals.  To the best of the knowledge of the Parent and the Borrower after due inquiry, the Parent, each Loan Party and each other Subsidiary is in compliance with each Governmental Approval and all other Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions) relating to it except for non-compliances which, and Governmental Approvals the failure to possess which, could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to cause a Default or Event of Default or have a Material Adverse Effect.
(f)    Title to Properties; Liens.  Schedule 7.1.(f) is, as of the Agreement Date, a complete and correct listing of all real estate assets owned directly by the Borrower and each other Loan Party, and for each Borrowing Base Property listed, the current occupancy status of such Property and whether such Property is a Borrowing Base Property or other real estate asset.  Except as indicated on Schedule 7.1.(f) or other adjustments which are not material in amount, the Borrower, each other Loan Party and each other Subsidiary owns or leases the assets reflected in the most recent consolidated balance sheet of the Parent as of the date thereof or acquired or leased since that date (except property sold or otherwise disposed of in the ordinary course since such date).  Schedule 4.1.(a) is, as of the Agreement Date, a complete and correct listing of all Borrowing Base Properties.  None of the Collateral is subject to any Lien other than Permitted Liens (but not Permitted Liens described in clause (g) of the definition of that term).

To the best knowledge of the Borrower, nothing has occurred which would cause the loss of its reliance on each Qualified Plan’s favorable determination letter or opinion letter.
(ii)    With respect to any Benefit Arrangement that is a retiree welfare benefit arrangement, all amounts have been accrued on the applicable ERISA Group’s financial statements in accordance with FASB ASC 715.

any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary under any agreement (other than this Agreement) or judgment, decree or order to which any such Person is a party or by which any such Person or any of its respective properties may be bound where such default or event of default could, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(o)    Environmental Laws.  The Borrower or other Loan Party has conducted reviews of the effect of Environmental Laws on the Borrowing Base Properties in the course of which the Borrower or such other Loan Party has identified and evaluated associated actual and potential liabilities and costs (including, without limitation, determining whether any capital or operating expenditures are required for clean-up or closure of properties presently or previously owned, determining whether any capital or operating expenditures are required to achieve or maintain compliance in all material respects with Environmental Laws or required as a condition of any Governmental Approval, any contract, or any related constraints on operating activities, determining whether any costs or liabilities exist in connection with on-site or off-site treatment, storage, handling and disposal of wastes or Hazardous Materials, and determining whether any actual or potential liabilities to third parties, including employees, and any related costs and expenses exist).  To the best of the knowledge of the Parent and the Borrower after due inquiry, each of the Borrower, each other Loan Party and each other Subsidiary: (i) is in compliance with all Environmental Laws applicable to its business, operations and the Properties, (ii) has obtained all Governmental Approvals which are required under Environmental Laws, and each such Governmental Approval is in full force and effect, and (iii) is in compliance with all terms and conditions of such Governmental Approvals with respect to the Borrowing Base Properties, and with respect to all Properties other than Borrowing Base Properties, where the failure to obtain or to comply with each of the immediately preceding clauses (i) through (iii) could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.  To the best of the knowledge of the Parent and the Borrower after due inquiry, neither the Parent nor any Loan Party has any knowledge of, nor has it received notice of, any past, present, or pending releases, events, conditions, circumstances, activities, practices, incidents, facts, occurrences, actions, or plans that, with respect to any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, their respective businesses, operations or with respect to the Borrowing Base Properties or, with respect to the Properties other than the Borrowing Base Properties, where the same could not reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect, may:  (x) cause or contribute to an actual or alleged violation of or noncompliance with Environmental Laws, (y) cause or contribute to any other potential common-law or legal claim or other liability, or (z) cause any of the Properties to become subject to any restrictions on ownership, occupancy, use or transferability under any Environmental Law or require the filing or recording of any notice, approval or disclosure document under any Environmental Law which has not been filed or recorded and, with respect to the immediately preceding clauses (x) through (z) is based on or related to the on-site or off-site manufacture, generation, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport, removal, clean up or handling, or the emission, discharge, release or threatened release of any Hazardous Material, or any other requirement under Environmental Law.  There is no civil, criminal, or administrative action, suit, demand, claim, hearing, notice, or demand letter, mandate, order, lien, request, investigation, or proceeding pending or, to the Parent’s or the Borrower’s knowledge after due inquiry, threatened, against the Parent, any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary relating in any way to Environmental Laws with respect to the Borrowing Base Properties, and with respect to the Properties other than the Borrowing Base Properties, which could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.  None of the Properties is listed on or proposed for listing on the National Priority List promulgated pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 and its implementing regulations, or any state or local priority list promulgated pursuant to any analogous state or local law.  To the Parent’s and the Borrower’s knowledge, no Hazardous Materials generated at or transported from the Properties are or have been transported to, or disposed of at, any location that is listed or proposed for listing on the National Priority List or any analogous state or local priority list, or any other 

	
			
	 
	86
	 

location that is or has been the subject of a clean-up, removal or remedial action pursuant to any Environmental Law, except, solely with respect to Properties that are not Borrowing Base Properties, to the extent that such generation, transportation or disposal could not reasonably be expected to result, individually or in the aggregate, in a Material Adverse Effect.
(p)    Investment Company.  None of the Parent, any Loan Party, or any other Subsidiary is (i) an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, or (ii) subject to any other Applicable Law which purports to regulate or restrict its ability to borrow money or obtain other extensions of credit or to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or to perform its obligations under any Loan Document to which it is a party.

All such Intellectual Property is fully protected and/or duly and properly registered, filed or issued in the appropriate office and jurisdictions for such registrations, filing or issuances.  To the Borrower’s knowledge, no material claim has been asserted by any Person against the Parent, any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary with respect to the use of any such Intellectual Property by the Parent, any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, or challenging or questioning the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual Property.  To the Borrower’s knowledge, the use of such Intellectual Property by the Parent, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and the other Subsidiaries does not infringe on the rights of any Person, subject to such claims and infringements as do not, in the aggregate, give rise to any liabilities on the part of the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary that could reasonably be expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
(t)    Business.  As of the Agreement Date, the Parent, the Loan Parties, the other Limited Subsidiaries and the Wholly Owned Subsidiaries are primarily engaged in the business of owning and operating regional malls, strip shopping centers, outlet malls, office buildings, self-storage facilities, multi-family properties, hotels and mixed-use commercial properties.

No financial statement, material report, material certificate or other material written information furnished by or on behalf of the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents and the negotiation of the Loan Documents or delivered hereunder or thereunder (as modified or supplemented by other information so furnished), taken together as a whole, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided that, with respect to projected financial information, pro forma financial information, estimated financial information and other projected or estimated information, such information was prepared in good faith based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time (it being recognized by the Lenders that projections are not to be viewed as facts and that the actual results during the period or periods covered by such projections may vary from such projections).
(ii)    As of the Agreement Date, the information included in each Beneficial Ownership Certification is true and correct in all respects.
(w)    Not Plan Assets; No Prohibited Transactions.  For purposes of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code, none of the assets of the Parent, any Loan Party or any other Subsidiary constitutes “plan assets”, within the meaning of ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code and the respective regulations promulgated thereunder, of any Plan.  Assuming that no Lender funds any amount payable by it hereunder with “plan assets,” as that term is defined in 29 C.F.R. 2510.3-101, the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents by the Loan Parties and the Parent, and the borrowing, other credit extensions and repayment of amounts hereunder, do not and will not constitute “prohibited transactions” under ERISA or the Internal Revenue Code.

	Section 9.7.

The Patriot Act and federal regulations issued with respect thereto require all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such financial institution.  Consequently, a Lender (for itself and/or as a non-fiduciary agent for all Lenders hereunder) may from time-to-time request, and the Borrower shall, and shall cause the Parent and the other Loan Parties, to provide promptly upon any such request to such Lender, the Borrower’s, the Parent’s, each Guarantor’s and each other Loan Party’s name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for such Lender to comply with federal law.  An “account” for this purpose may include, without limitation, a deposit account, a cash management service, a transaction or asset account, a credit account, a loan or other extension of credit, and/or other financial services product.  Each Lender will treat all information furnished to it in accordance with this Section 9.7. in the manner required by Section 13.9. of this Agreement.

For so long as this Agreement is in effect, unless the Requisite Lenders (or, if required pursuant to Section 13.7., all of the Lenders) shall otherwise consent in the manner set forth in Section 13.7., the Borrower or the Parent, as the case may be, shall comply with the following covenants:

		
	Section 10.1.  
	Financial Covenants. 

(a)    Definitions.  Capitalized terms used in subsections (b), (c), (d) and (e) below shall have the meanings set forth in Schedule 10.1., but such definitions shall not be used for any other provisions of this Agreement.
(b)    Limitation on Total Outstanding Debt.  Neither the Limited Guarantor nor the Operating Partnership will incur, or permit any of the Subsidiaries to incur, any Debt (including, without limitation, Acquired Debt) if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds from such Debt on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Debt of the Limited Guarantor, the Operating Partnership and the Subsidiaries (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles) is greater than 60% of the sum of the following (without duplication): (1) Total Assets of the Limited Guarantor, the Operating Partnership and their respective Subsidiaries as of the last day of the fiscal quarter covered in the Limited Guarantor’s annual or quarterly report most recently furnished to the Lenders or filed with the SEC, as the case may be, or, if the Limited Guarantor is no longer obligated to file annual and quarterly reports with the SEC, as of the last day of the then most recently ended fiscal quarter and (2) the aggregate purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the aggregate amount of any securities offering proceeds received (to the extent such proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Debt), by the Limited Guarantor, the Operating Partnership or any 

	
			
	 
	107
	 

Subsidiary since the end of such fiscal quarter, including the proceeds obtained from the incurrence of such additional Debt.
(c)    Secured Debt Test.  Neither the Limited Guarantor nor the Operating Partnership will incur, or permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to incur, any Debt (including, without limitation, Acquired Debt) secured by any Lien on any of their respective property or assets, whether owned on the date hereof or subsequently acquired, if, immediately after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds from such Debt on a pro forma basis, the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Debt of the Limited Guarantor, the Operating Partnership and their respective Subsidiaries (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles) which is secured by a Lien on any property or assets of the Limited Guarantor, the Operating Partnership or any of their respective Subsidiaries is greater than 40% of the sum of (without duplication):
(i)    Total Assets of the Limited Guarantor, the Operating Partnership and their respective Subsidiaries as of the last day of the fiscal quarter covered in the Limited Guarantor’s annual or quarterly report most recently furnished to the Lenders or filed with the SEC, as the case may be, or, if the Limited Guarantor is no longer obligated to file annual and quarterly reports with the SEC, as of the last day of the then most recently ended fiscal quarter, and 
(ii)    the aggregate purchase price of any real estate assets or mortgages receivable acquired, and the aggregate amount of any securities offering proceeds received (to the extent such proceeds were not used to acquire real estate assets or mortgages receivable or used to reduce Debt), by the Limited Guarantor, the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary since the end of such fiscal quarter, including the proceeds obtained from the incurrence of such additional Debt.
(d)    Debt Service Test.  Neither the Limited Guarantor nor the Operating Partnership will incur, or permit any of their respective Subsidiaries to incur, any Debt (including, without limitation, Acquired Debt) if the ratio of Consolidated Income Available for Debt Service to Annual Debt Service Charge for the period consisting of the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended as of the last day of the fiscal quarter covered in the Limited Guarantor’s annual or quarterly report most recently furnished to the Lenders or filed with the SEC, as the case may be, or, if the Limited Guarantor is no longer obligated to file annual and quarterly reports with the SEC, the four consecutive fiscal quarters most recently ended prior to the date on which such additional Debt is to be incurred shall have been less than 1.5:1 on a pro forma basis after giving effect to the incurrence of such Debt and the application of the proceeds from such Debt (determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles), and calculated on the following assumptions: (1) such Debt and any other Debt (including, without limitation, Acquired Debt) incurred by the Limited Guarantor, the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary since the first day of such four-quarter period had been incurred, and the application of the proceeds from such Debt (including to repay or retire other Debt) had occurred, on the first day of such period; (2) the repayment or retirement by the Limited Guarantor, the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary of any other Debt since the first day of such four-quarter period had occurred on the first day of such period (except that, in making this computation, the amount of Debt under any revolving credit facility, line of credit or similar facility will be computed based upon the average daily balance of such Debt during such period); and (3) in the case of any acquisition or disposition by the Limited Guarantor, the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary of any asset or group of assets with a fair market value in excess of $1.0 million since the first day of such four-quarter period, whether by merger, stock purchase or sale or asset purchase or sale or otherwise, such acquisition or disposition had occurred as of the first day of such period with the appropriate adjustments with respect to such acquisition or disposition being included in such pro forma calculation.

	
			
	 
	108
	 

If the Debt giving rise to the need to make the calculation described above or any other Debt incurred after the first day of the relevant four-quarter period bears interest at a floating rate, then, for purposes of calculating the Annual Debt Service Charge, the interest rate on such Debt will be computed on a pro forma basis by applying the average daily rate which would have been in effect during the entire four-quarter period if such Debt was outstanding during such period to the greater of the amount of such Debt outstanding at the end of such period or the average amount of such Debt outstanding during such period.  For purposes of the foregoing, Debt will be deemed to be incurred by the Limited Guarantor, the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary whenever it shall create, assume, guarantee or otherwise become liable in respect thereof.
(e)    Maintenance of Total Unencumbered Assets.  The Limited Guarantor, the Operating Partnership and their respective Subsidiaries, on an aggregate basis, will not have at any time Total Unencumbered Assets of less than 150% of the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Unsecured Debt determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
(f)    Minimum Debt Yield Ratio (Outstandings).  On the Effective Date and at all times during the term of the Facilities, the Minimum Debt Yield Ratio (Outstandings) shall not be less than or equal to ten percent (10.00%).

(j)    Permitted Investments. The Parent shall not, and shall not permit the Borrower, any other Loan Party or other Subsidiary to, make an Investment in or otherwise own the following items which would cause the aggregate value of such holdings (for purposes of this Section 10.1., the value of the holdings described in items (i), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii) shall be calculated in accordance with GAAP, and the value of the holdings described in item (ii) shall be the lower of cost or market) of such Persons to exceed the following levels, as a percentage of Total Asset Value, at any time:
(i)    Unimproved Land, such that the aggregate book value of all such Unimproved Land exceeds five percent (5%) of Total Asset Value;

(vi)    Investments in Properties that are not Retail Properties (other than the real estate located at CBL Center, 2030 Hamilton Place Boulevard, Chattanooga, Tennessee), such that the aggregate value of all such Investments exceeds ten percent (10%) of Total Asset Value; and

To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to the appointment of a receiver for the assets and properties of the Parent, the Borrower and the Subsidiaries of the Parent, without notice of any kind whatsoever and without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Obligations or the solvency of any party bound for its payment, to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral, the property and/or the business operations of the Borrower, the Parent and their Subsidiaries related thereto and to exercise such power as the court shall confer upon such receiver.
(e)    Specified Derivatives Contract Remedies.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or other Loan Document, each Specified Derivatives Provider shall have the right, with the prompt notice to the Administrative Agent, but without the approval or consent of or other action by the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks or the Lenders, and without limitation of other remedies available to such Specified Derivatives Provider under contract or Applicable Law, to undertake any of the following:  (a) to declare an event of default, termination event or other similar event under any Specified Derivatives Contract and to create an “Early Termination Date” (as defined therein) in respect thereof, (b) to determine net termination amounts in respect of any and all Specified Derivatives Contracts in accordance with the

	
			
	 
	120
	 

 terms thereof, and to set off amounts among such contracts, (c) to set off or proceed against deposit account balances, securities account balances and other property and amounts held by such Specified Derivatives Provider, and (d) to prosecute any legal action against the Borrower, the Parent, any Loan Party or other Subsidiary to enforce or collect net amounts owing to such Specified Derivatives Provider pursuant to any Specified Derivatives Contract.

		
	Section 11.3.  
	Remedies Upon Default. 

Upon the occurrence of a Default specified in Section 11.1.(f), the Commitments, the Swingline Commitments and the obligation of the Issuing Banks to issue Letters of Credit shall immediately and automatically terminate.  

		
	Section 11.4.  
	Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. 

No Lender Party shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of any Loan Party or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligations.  To the extent that any Loan Party makes a payment or payments to a Lender Party, or a Lender Party enforces its security interest or exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/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 recovery, the Guaranteed Obligations, or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all Liens, rights and remedies therefor, shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

		
	Section 11.5.  
	Allocation of Proceeds. 

If an Event of Default exists, all payments received by the Administrative Agent (or any Lender as a result of its exercise of remedies permitted under Section 13.4.) under any of the Loan Documents, in respect of any principal of or interest on the Guaranteed Obligations or any other amounts payable by the Borrower, the Parent or any other Loan Party hereunder or thereunder, shall be applied in the following order and priority:
(a)    to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting fees, indemnities, expenses and other amounts, including attorney fees, payable to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as such, the Issuing Banks in their capacity as such and the Swingline Lenders in their capacity as such, ratably among the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Swingline Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (a) payable to them;
(b)    to amounts due to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in respect of Protective Advances;
(c)    to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting fees, indemnities and other amounts (other than principal and interest) payable to the Lenders under the Loan Documents, including attorney fees, ratably among the Lenders in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (c) payable to them;
(d)    to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Swingline Loans;

	
			
	 
	121
	 

(e)    to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid interest on the Loans and Reimbursement Obligations, ratably among the Lenders and the Issuing Banks in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (e) payable to them;
(f)    to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Swingline Loans;
(g)    to payment of that portion of the Guaranteed Obligations constituting unpaid principal of the Loans, Reimbursement Obligations, other Letter of Credit Liabilities and payment obligations then owing under Specified Derivatives Contracts, ratably among the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Specified Derivatives Providers in proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause (g) payable to them; provided, however, that to the extent that any amounts available for distribution pursuant to this clause are attributable to the issued but undrawn amount of an outstanding Letter of Credit, such amounts shall be paid to the Administrative Agent for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account; and
(h)    the balance, if any, after all of the Guaranteed Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Applicable Law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Guaranteed Obligations arising under Specified Derivatives Contracts shall be excluded from the application described above if the Administrative Agent has not received written notice thereof, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Specified Derivatives Provider.  Each Specified Derivatives Provider not a party to this Agreement that has given the notice contemplated by the preceding sentence shall, by such notice, be deemed to have acknowledged and accepted the appointment of the Administrative Agent pursuant to the terms of Article XII. for itself and its Affiliates as if a “Lender” party hereto.

		
	Section 11.6.  
	Letter of Credit Collateral Account. 

(a)    As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all Letter of Credit Liabilities and the other Obligations, the Borrower hereby pledges and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders as provided herein, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account established pursuant to the requirements of Section 2.15. and the balances from time to time in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided for below).  The balances from time to time in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any Letter of Credit Liabilities until applied by the Issuing Banks as provided herein.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided in this Section and in Section 2.15.
(b)    Amounts on deposit in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account shall be invested and prudently reinvested by the Administrative Agent in such Cash Equivalents as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion.  All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name of and be under the sole dominion and control of the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders, provided, that all earnings on such investments will be credited to and retained in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.  The Administrative Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Administrative Agent accords other funds deposited with the Administrative Agent, it being understood that the Administrative Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any 

	
			
	 
	122
	 

necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any funds held in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.
(c)    If a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower and the Lenders authorize the Administrative Agent to use the monies deposited in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to reimburse the applicable Issuing Bank for the payment made by such Issuing Bank to the beneficiary with respect to such drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment.
(d)    If an Event of Default exists, the Administrative Agent may (and, if instructed by the Requisite Lenders, shall) in its (or their) discretion at any time and from time to time elect to liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and apply the proceeds thereof to the Obligations in accordance with Section 11.5.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to liquidate and release any such amounts if such liquidation or release would result in the amount available in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account to be less than the Stated Amount of all Extended Letters of Credit that remain outstanding.
(e)    So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent amounts on deposit in or credited to the Letter of Credit Collateral Account exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then due and owing, the Administrative Agent shall, from time to time, at the written request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower within ten (10) Business Days after the Administrative Agent’s receipt of such request from the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such amount of the credit balances in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account as exceeds the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities at such time.  Upon the expiration, termination or cancellation of an Extended Letter of Credit for which the Revolving Lenders reimbursed (or funded participations in) a drawing deemed to have occurred under the fourth sentence of Section 2.3.(b) for deposit into the Letter of Credit Collateral Account but in respect of which the Revolving Lenders have not otherwise received payment for the amount so reimbursed or funded, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Revolving Lenders the amount so reimbursed or funded for such Extended Letter of Credit that remains in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account, pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid reimbursements or funded participations of the Revolving Lenders in respect of such Extended Letter of Credit, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever.  When all of the Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full and no Letters of Credit remain outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, the balances remaining in the Letter of Credit Collateral Account.
(f)    The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent from time to time such reasonable fees as the Administrative Agent normally charges for similar services in connection with the Administrative Agent’s administration of the Letter of Credit Collateral Account and investments and reinvestments of funds therein.

		
	Section 11.7.  
	Rescission of Acceleration by Requisite Lenders. 

If at any time after acceleration of the maturity of the Loans and the other Obligations, the Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal of the Obligations which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified in this Agreement) and all Events of Default and Defaults (other than nonpayment of principal of and accrued interest on the Obligations due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall become remedied or waived to the satisfaction of the Requisite 

	
			
	 
	123
	 

Lenders, then by written notice to the Borrower, the Requisite Lenders may elect, in the sole discretion of such Requisite Lenders, to rescind and annul the acceleration and its consequences.  The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind all of the Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of the Requisite Lenders, and are not intended to benefit the Borrower and do not give the Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are satisfied.

		
	Section 11.8.  
	Performance by Administrative Agent. 

If the Borrower or any other Loan Party shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be obligated to, after notice to the Borrower, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of the Borrower or such other Loan Party after the expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein.  In such event, the Borrower shall, at the request of the Administrative Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by the Administrative Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the Administrative Agent, together with interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for the performance of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

		
	Section 11.9.  
	Rights Cumulative. 

(a)    Generally.  The rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders under this Agreement, each of the other Loan Documents and of the Specified Derivatives Providers under the Specified Derivatives Contracts, shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may otherwise have under Applicable Law.  In exercising their respective rights and remedies the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks, the Lenders and the Specified Derivatives Providers may be selective and no failure or delay by any such Lender Party in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.
(b)    Enforcement by the Administrative Agent.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the Administrative Agent in accordance with Article XI. for the benefit of all the Lenders and the Issuing Banks; provided that the foregoing shall not prohibit (i) the Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (ii) the Issuing Banks or the Swingline Lenders from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to their benefit (solely in their capacity as an Issuing Bank or Swingline Lender, as the case may be) hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, (iii) any Specified Derivatives Provider from exercising the rights and remedies that inure to its benefit under any Specified Derivatives Contract, (iv) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in accordance with Section 13.4. (subject to the terms of Section 3.3.), or (v) any Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (x) the Requisite Lenders shall have the rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article XI. and (y) in addition to the matters set forth in clauses (ii), (iv) and (v) of the preceding proviso 

	
			
	 
	124
	 

and subject to Section 3.3., any Lender may, with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, enforce any rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Requisite Lenders.

		
	Section 11.10.  
	Certain ERISA Matters. 

(a)Each Lender (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, each Arranger, each Bookrunner and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, the Parent or any other Loan Party, that at least one of the following is and will be true:
		
	(i)
	such Lender is not using “plan assets” (within the meaning of 29 CFR § 2510.3-101, as modified by Section 3(42) of ERISA or otherwise) of one or more Benefit Plans with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments or this Agreement;

		
	(ii)
	the transaction exemption set forth in one or more PTEs, such as PTE 84-14 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers), PTE 95-60 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company general accounts), PTE 90-1 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving insurance company pooled separate accounts), PTE 91-38 (a class exemption for certain transactions involving bank collective investment funds) or PTE 96-23 (a class exemption for certain transactions determined by in-house asset managers), is applicable with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement;

		
	(iii)
	(A) such Lender is an investment fund managed by a “Qualified Professional Asset Manager” (within the meaning of Part VI of PTE 84-14), (B) such Qualified Professional Asset Manager made the investment decision on behalf of such Lender to enter into, participate in, administer and perform the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement, (C) the entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement satisfies the requirements of sub-sections (b) through (g) of Part I of PTE 84-14 and (D) to the best knowledge of such Lender, the requirements of subsection (a) of Part I of PTE 84-14 are satisfied with respect to such Lender’s entrance into, participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement; or

		
	(iv)
	such other representation, warranty and covenant as may be agreed in writing between the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion, and such Lender.

(b)In addition, unless either (1) sub-clause (i) in the immediately preceding clause (a) is true with respect to a Lender or (2) a Lender has provided another representation, warranty and covenant in accordance with sub-clause (iv) in the immediately preceding clause (a), such Lender further (x) represents and warrants, as of the date such Person became a Lender party hereto, and (y) covenants, from the date such Person became a Lender party hereto to the date such Person ceases being a Lender party hereto, for the benefit of, the Administrative Agent, each Arranger, each Bookrunner and their respective Affiliates, and not, for the avoidance of doubt, to or for the benefit of the Borrower, the Parent, or any other Loan Party, that none of the Administrative Agent, any Arranger or any Bookrunner or any of their respective Affiliates is a fiduciary with respect to the assets of such Lender involved in such Lender’s entrance into, 

	
			
	 
	125
	 

participation in, administration of and performance of the Loans, the Letters of Credit, the Commitments and this Agreement (including in connection with the reservation or exercise of any rights by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement, any Loan Document or any documents related hereto or thereto).

Article XII. The Administrative Agent 

		
	Section 12.1.  
	Appointment and Authorization. 

Each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Administrative Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders.  Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders.  Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Administrative Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Administrative Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Agent”, “Administrative Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Administrative Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law.  Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties.  The Administrative Agent shall deliver or otherwise make available to each Lender, promptly upon receipt thereof by the Administrative Agent, copies of each of the financial statements, certificates, notices and other documents delivered to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Article IX. that the Borrower is not otherwise required to deliver directly to the Lenders.  The Administrative Agent will furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy (or, where appropriate, an original) of any document, instrument, agreement, certificate or notice furnished to the Administrative Agent by the Parent, the Borrower, any Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Borrower, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered or otherwise made available to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document.  As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law.  Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Administrative Agent otherwise.  Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all of the Lenders.

	
			
	 
	126
	 

		
	Section 12.2.  
	Administrative Agent as Lender. 

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

		
	Section 12.3.  
	Approvals of Lenders. 

All communications from the Administrative Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent or approval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval or consent is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, and (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials provided to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved.  Unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Administrative Agent that it specifically objects to the requested determination, consent or approval within ten (10) Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the express terms of the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved such requested determination, consent or approval.

		
	Section 12.4.  
	Notice of Events of Default. 

The Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default (excepting only a Default or Event of Default under Section 11.1.(a)) unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.”  If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Administrative Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Administrative Agent such a “notice of default”; provided, that a Lender’s failure to provide such a “notice of default” to the Administrative Agent shall not result in any liability of such Lender to any other party to any of the Loan Documents.  Further, if the Administrative Agent receives such a “notice of default,” the Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

	
			
	 
	127
	 

		
	Section 12.5.  
	Administrative Agent’s Reliance. 

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct in connection with its duties expressly set forth herein or therein as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrower, any other Loan Party or the Parent), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.  Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties: (a) makes any warranty or representation to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person and shall be responsible to any Lender, any Issuing Bank or any other Person for any statement, warranty or representation made or deemed made by the Borrower, any other Loan Party, the Parent or any other Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (b) shall have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons or to inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any other Person; (c) shall be responsible to any Lender or any Issuing Bank for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lender Parties in any such collateral; (d) shall have any liability in respect of any recitals, statements, certifications, representations or warranties contained in any of the Loan Documents or any other document, instrument, agreement, certificate or statement delivered in connection therewith; and (e) shall incur any liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties.  The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact and shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agent or attorney-in-fact that it selects in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct in the selection of such agent or attorney-in-fact as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment.

		
	Section 12.6.  
	Indemnification of Administrative Agent. 

Regardless of whether the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are consummated, each Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment is sought), from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, and reasonable and out-of-pocket costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent but not as a “Lender”) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment; 

	
			
	 
	128
	 

provided, however, that no action taken in accordance with the directions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders, if expressly required hereunder) shall be deemed to constitute gross negligence or willful misconduct for purposes of this Section.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Administrative Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) promptly upon demand for its Pro Rata Share (determined as of the time that the applicable reimbursement is sought) of any out-of-pocket expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of outside counsel to the Administrative Agent but excluding the allocated costs, fees and expenses of the Administrative Agent’s in-house counsel and legal staff and any expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with its review of any appraisal or environmental, structural or engineering report) reasonably incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement (whether through negotiations, legal proceedings, or otherwise) of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Administrative Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws.  Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Administrative Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Administrative Agent that the Administrative Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Administrative Agent is not so entitled to indemnification.  The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.  If the Borrower shall reimburse the Administrative Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Administrative Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.

		
	Section 12.7.  
	Lender Credit Decision, Etc. 

Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its Related Parties has made any representations or warranties to such Issuing Bank or such Lender and that no act by the Administrative Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary or Affiliate, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Administrative Agent to any Issuing Bank or any Lender.  Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent, or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on the financial statements of the Parent, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Parent, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the other Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate.  Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Administrative Agent or any of their respective Related Parties, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents.  The Administrative Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Parent, the Borrower or any other

Loan Party of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary.  Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders and the Issuing Banks by the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender or any Issuing Bank with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Administrative Agent or any of its Related Parties.  Each of the Lenders and each Issuing Bank acknowledges that the Administrative Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Administrative Agent and is not acting as counsel to any Lender or any Issuing Bank.

		
	Section 12.8.  
	Successor Administrative Agent. 

The Administrative Agent may resign at any time as Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower.  The Administrative Agent may be removed as administrative agent by all of the Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as Administrative Agent) and, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, the Borrower upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice if the Administrative Agent (i) is found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment to have committed gross negligence or willful misconduct in the course of performing its duties hereunder or (ii) has become or is insolvent or has become the subject of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding, or has had a receiver, conservator, trustee or custodian appointed for it, or has taken any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any such proceeding or appointment.  Upon any such resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent which appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and any of its affiliates as a successor Administrative Agent).  If no successor Administrative Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the current Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Lenders’ removal of the current Administrative Agent, then the current Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee (but in no event shall any such successor Administrative Agent be a Defaulting Lender or an Affiliate of a Defaulting Lender); provided that if the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no Lender has accepted such appointment, then such resignation or removal shall nonetheless become effective in accordance with such notice, or, in the case of removal, at the end of such 30-day period, and (1) the Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (2) all payments, communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent shall instead be made to each Lender and each Issuing Bank directly, until such time as a successor Administrative Agent has been appointed as provided for above in this Section; provided, further that such Lenders and such Issuing Banks so acting directly shall be and be deemed to be protected by all indemnities and other provisions herein for the benefit and protection of the Administrative Agent as if each such Lender or Issuing Bank were itself the Administrative Agent.  Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the current Administrative Agent, and the current Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents.  Any resignation by or removal of an Administrative Agent shall also constitute the resignation or removal as an Issuing Bank and as the Swingline Lender by the Lender 

	
			
	 
	130
	 

then acting as the Administrative Agent (the “Resigning Lender”).  Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as the Administrative Agent hereunder (i) the Resigning Lender shall be discharged from all duties and obligations of an Issuing Bank and the Swingline Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and (ii) the successor Issuing Bank shall issue letters of credit in substitution for all Letters of Credit issued by the Resigning Lender as an Issuing Bank outstanding at the time of such succession (which letters of credit issued in substitutions shall be deemed to be Letters of Credit issued hereunder) or make other arrangements satisfactory to the Resigning Lender to effectively assume the obligations of the Resigning Lender with respect to such Letters of Credit.  After any Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XII. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its affiliates by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.

		
	Section 12.9.  
	Titled Agents. 

The Syndication Agent, each Documentation Agent, each Arranger and each Bookrunner (each, a “Titled Agent”) in each such respective capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, nor any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders.  The titles given to the Titled Agents are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Administrative Agent, any Lender, any Issuing Bank, the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.

		
	Section 12.10.  
	Specified Derivatives Contracts. 

No Specified Derivatives Provider that obtains the benefits of Section 11.5. by virtue of the provisions hereof or of any Loan Document shall have any right to notice of any action or to consent to, direct or object to any action hereunder or under any other Loan Document or otherwise in respect of any Loan Document other than in its capacity as a Lender and, in such case, only to the extent expressly provided in the Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article to the contrary, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to verify the payment of, or that other satisfactory arrangements have been made with respect to, Specified Derivatives Contracts unless the Administrative Agent has received written notice of such Specified Derivatives Contracts, together with such supporting documentation as the Administrative Agent may request, from the applicable Specified Derivatives Provider.

		
	Section 12.11.  
	Collateral Matters; Protective Advances. 

(a)    Each Lender hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or any Loan Document which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to any of the Loan Documents.
(b)    The Lenders hereby authorize the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Administrative Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Guaranteed Obligations; (ii) as expressly permitted by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Loan Document; and (iii) if approved, authorized or ratified in writing by the Requisite Lenders (or such greater number of Lenders as this Agreement or any other Loan Document may expressly provide).  Upon request 

	
			
	 
	131
	 

by the Administrative Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Administrative Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section.
(c)    Upon any sale and transfer of Collateral which is expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Lender Parties herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred; provided, however, that (i) the Administrative Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Administrative Agent’s opinion, would expose the Administrative Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Guaranteed Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, including, without limitation, the proceeds of such sale or transfer, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral.  In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral, or any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses reasonably incurred by the Administrative Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure.
(d)    The Administrative Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender Party or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Administrative Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Administrative Agent in this Section or in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Administrative Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, and that the Administrative Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except to the extent determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from its gross negligence or willful misconduct.
(e)    The Administrative Agent may make, and shall be reimbursed by the Lenders (in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares) to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower for, Protective Advances during any one (1) calendar year with respect to each Property that is Collateral up to the sum of (i) amounts expended to pay real estate taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon such Property; (ii) amounts expended to pay insurance premiums for policies of insurance related to such Property; and (iii) $500,000.  Protective Advances in excess of said sum during any calendar year for any Property that is Collateral shall require the consent of the Requisite Lenders.  The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all Protective Advances.
(f)    By their acceptance of the benefits of the Security Documents, each Lender that is at any time itself a Specified Derivatives Provider, or having an Affiliate that is a Specified Derivatives Provider, hereby, for itself, and on behalf of any such Affiliate, in its capacity as a Specified Derivatives Provider, irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent as its collateral agent, to take such action as contractual representative on such Specified Derivatives Provider’s behalf and to exercise such powers under the Security Documents as are specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms of this Section 12.11., Section 12.12. and any Security Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; provided, that this subsection (f) shall not affect any of the terms of a 

	
			
	 
	132
	 

Specified Derivatives Contract or restrict a Specified Derivatives Provider from taking any action permitted by a Specified Derivatives Contract.  For the avoidance of doubt, all references in this Section 12.11. to “Lender” or “Lenders” shall be deemed to include each Lender (and Affiliate thereof) in its capacity as a Specified Derivatives Provider.

		
	Section 12.12.  
	Post-Foreclosure Plans. 

If all or any portion of the Collateral is acquired by the Administrative Agent as a result of a foreclosure or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or is retained in satisfaction of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, the title to any such Collateral, or any portion thereof, shall be held in the name of the Administrative Agent or a nominee or Subsidiary of the Administrative Agent, as “Administrative Agent”, for the ratable benefit of all Lender Parties.  The Administrative Agent shall prepare a recommended course of action for such Collateral (a “Post-Foreclosure Plan”), which shall be subject to the approval of the Requisite Lenders.  In accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, the Administrative Agent shall manage, operate, repair, administer, complete, construct, restore or otherwise deal with the Collateral acquired, and shall administer all transactions relating thereto, including, without limitation, employing a management agent, leasing agent and other agents, contractors and employees, including agents for the sale of such Collateral, and the collecting of rents and other sums from such Collateral and paying the expenses of such Collateral.  Actions taken by the Administrative Agent with respect to the Collateral, which are not specifically provided for in the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan or reasonably incidental thereto, shall require the written consent of the Requisite Lenders by way of supplement to such Post-Foreclosure Plan.  Upon demand therefor from time to time, each Lender will contribute its share (based on its Pro Rata Share) of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan in connection with the construction, operation, management, maintenance, leasing and sale of such Collateral.  In addition, the Administrative Agent shall render or cause to be rendered to each Lender Party, on a monthly basis, an income and expense statement for such Collateral, and each Lender shall promptly contribute its Pro Rata Share of any operating loss for such Collateral, and such other expenses and operating reserves as the Administrative Agent shall deem reasonably necessary pursuant to and in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan.  To the extent there is Net Operating Income from such Collateral, the Administrative Agent shall, in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, determine the amount and timing of distributions to the Lender Parties.  All such distributions shall be made to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares.  The Lender Parties acknowledge and agree that if title to any Collateral is obtained by the Administrative Agent or its nominee, such Collateral will not be held as a permanent investment but will be liquidated and the proceeds of such liquidation will be distributed in accordance with Section 11.5. as soon as practicable.  The Administrative Agent shall undertake to sell such Collateral, at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Requisite Lenders reasonably shall determine to be most advantageous to the Lender Parties.  Any purchase money mortgage or deed of trust taken in connection with the disposition of such Collateral in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall name the Administrative Agent, as Administrative Agent for the Lenders, as the beneficiary or mortgagee.  In such case, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall enter into an agreement with respect to such purchase money mortgage or deed of trust defining the rights of the Lenders in the same Pro Rata Shares as provided hereunder, which agreement shall be in all material respects similar to this Article XII. insofar as the same is appropriate or applicable.

Section 12.13.      Flood Laws.   
Wells Fargo has adopted internal policies and procedures that address requirements placed on federally regulated lenders under the National Flood Insurance Reform Act of 1994 and related legislation

	
			
	 
	133
	 

 (the “Flood Laws”).  Wells Fargo, as administrative agent, will post on the applicable electronic platform (or otherwise distribute to each Lender in the syndicate) documents that it receives in connection with the Flood Laws.  However, Wells Fargo reminds each Lender and Participant in the facility that, pursuant to the Flood Laws, each federally regulated Lender (whether acting as a Lender or Participant in the facility) is responsible for assuring its own compliance with the flood insurance requirements.

	Section 13.2.  
	Expenses. 

The Borrower agrees (a) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of its reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation and execution of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, any of the Loan Documents (including due diligence expenses and reasonable travel expenses related to closing), and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent and all costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in connection with the use of IntraLinks, SyndTrak or other similar information transmission systems in connection with the Loan Documents and of the Administrative Agent in connection with the review of Properties pursuant to Section 4.1. and the Administrative Agent’s other activities under Article IV. and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent relating to all such activities, (b) to pay to each Issuing Bank all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by such Issuing Bank in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal or extension of any Letter of Credit or any demand for payment thereunder, (c) to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders for all their reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or preservation of any rights under the Loan Documents, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel retained by the Administrative Agent and of one law firm retained by the Lenders (including the allocated fees and expenses of in-house counsel) and any payments in indemnification or otherwise payable by the Lenders to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Loan Documents, (d) to pay, and indemnify and hold harmless the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders from, any and all recording and filing fees and any and all liabilities with respect to, or resulting from any failure to pay or delay in paying, documentary, stamp, excise and other similar taxes, if any, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of any of the Loan Documents, or consummation of any amendment, supplement or modification of, or any waiver or consent under or in respect of, any Loan Document and (e) to the extent not already covered by any of the preceding subsections, to pay or reimburse the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank and any Lender incurred in connection with the representation of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender in any matter relating to or arising out of any bankruptcy or other proceeding of the type described in Sections 11.1.(e) or 11.1.(f), including, without limitation (i) any motion for relief from any stay or similar order, (ii) the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of any document relating to the Obligations and (iii) the negotiation and preparation of any debtor-in-possession financing or any plan of reorganization of the Parent, the Borrower or any other Loan Party, whether proposed by the Parent, the Borrower, such Loan Party, the Lenders or any other Person, and whether such fees and expenses are incurred prior to, during or after the commencement of such proceeding or the confirmation or conclusion of any such proceeding.  If the Borrower shall fail to pay any amounts required to be paid by it pursuant to this Section, the Administrative Agent and/or the Lenders may pay such amounts on behalf of the Borrower and such amounts shall be deemed to be Obligations owing hereunder. 

	
			
	 
	136
	 

		
	Section 13.3.  
	Stamp, Intangible and Recording Taxes. 

The Borrower will pay any and all stamp, excise, intangible, registration, recordation and similar taxes, fees or charges and shall indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in the payment or omission to pay any such taxes, fees or charges, which may be payable or determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, recording, performance or enforcement of this Agreement, the Notes and any of the other Loan Documents, the amendment, supplement, modification or waiver of or consent under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents or the perfection of any rights or Liens under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents.

		
	Section 13.4.  
	Setoff. 

Subject to Section 3.3. and in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Lender, each Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender, and each Participant, at any time or from time to time while an Event of Default exists, without notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of an Issuing Bank, a Lender, an Affiliate of an Issuing Bank or a Lender, or a Participant, subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders exercised in their sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank, such Lender, any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender, or such Participant, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of any of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not any or all of the Loans and all other Obligations have been declared to be, or have otherwise become, due and payable as permitted by Section 11.2., and although such Obligations shall be contingent or unmatured.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender hereby waives any right of setoff against the Obligations it has with respect to any deposit account of any Guarantor (other than the Parent) maintained with such Lender or any other account or property of such Guarantor held by such Lender; provided however, that this waiver is not intended, and shall not be deemed, to waive any right of setoff (a) any Lender has with respect to any account required to be maintained pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (b) arising other than pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section, if any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.9. and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders and (y) such Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

(a)    EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE PARENT, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY OF THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES.  ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EACH ISSUING

BANK, THE BORROWER AND THE PARENT HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR ANY COLLATERAL OR ANY LIEN OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE PARENT, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.
(b)    EACH OF THE PARENT, THE BORROWER AND EACH OTHER LOAN PARTY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER, ANY ISSUING BANK, OR ANY RELATED PARTY OF THE FOREGOING IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT.

EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME.

(c)    EACH OF THE PARENT AND THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS ISSUED THEREIN, AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO THE PARENT OR THE BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES PROVIDED FOR HEREIN.

	Section 13.6.  
	Successors and Assigns. 

(a)    Successors and Assigns Generally.  The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of the immediately following subsection (e) (and, subject to the last sentence of the immediately following subsection (b), any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void).  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in the immediately following subsection (d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(B)    in any case not described in the immediately preceding subsection (A), the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment (which for this purpose includes Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Revolving Commitment is not then in effect, the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment, and the principal outstanding balance of the Term Loan subject to such assignment (in each case, as determined as of the date the Assignment and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Assumption, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of any assignment of a Revolving Commitment and $1,000,000 in 

	
			
	 
	139
	 

the case of any assignment in respect of a Term Loan, unless each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that if, after giving effect to such assignment, the amount of the Revolving Commitment held by such assigning Lender or the outstanding principal balance of the Loans of such assigning Lender, as applicable, would be less than $5,000,000 in the case of a Revolving Commitment or Revolving Loans or $1,000,000 in the case of a Term Loan, then such assigning Lender shall assign the entire amount of its Revolving Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it.
(ii)    Proportionate Amounts.  Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loan or the Revolving Commitment assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not prohibit any Lender from assigning all or a portion of its rights and obligations among separate Facilities on a non-pro rata basis.  
(iii)    Required Consents.  No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (i)(B) of this subsection (b) and, in addition:
(A)    the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or Event of Default shall exist at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof; provided, further, that the Borrower’s consent shall not be required during the primary syndication of the Facilities;
(B)    the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of (x) a Revolving Commitment or any unfunded Term Loan Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not already a Lender with a Commitment, an Affiliate of such a Lender or an Approved Fund with respect to such a Lender or (y) a Term Loan to a Person who is not a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and
(C)    the consent of each Swingline Lender and each Issuing Bank (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment in respect of a Revolving Commitment and Revolving Loans.
(iv)    Assignment and Assumption; Notes.  The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption, together with a processing and recordation fee of $4,500 (or $7,500 in the event that such transferor Lender is a Defaulting Lender) for each assignment (which fee the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, elect to waive), and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.  If requested by the transferor Lender or the assignee, upon the consummation of any assignment, the transferor Lender, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that new Notes are issued to the assignee and such transferor Lender, as appropriate.

	
			
	 
	140
	 

(v)    No Assignment to Certain Persons.  No such assignment shall be made to (A) the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries or (B) to any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or to any Person who, upon becoming a Lender hereunder, would constitute a Defaulting Lender or a Subsidiary thereof.
(vi)    No Assignment to Natural Persons No such assignment shall be made to a natural Person (or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person).
(vii)    Certain Additional Payments.  In connection with any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank, each Swingline Lender and each other Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swingline Loans in accordance with its Revolving Commitment Percentage.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under Applicable Law without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to the immediately following subsection (c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.4., 13.2. and 13.10. and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in Section 13.11. with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment; provided, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no assignment by a Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that Lender having been a Defaulting Lender.  Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with the immediately following subsection (d).
(c)    Register.  The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Principal Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts (and stated interest) of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”).  The entries in the Register shall be 

	
			
	 
	141
	 

conclusive absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary.  The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d)    Participations.  Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural Person, or a holding company, investment vehicle or trust for, or owned and operated for the primary benefit of, a natural Person, or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement.  Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (w) increase such Lender’s Commitment, (x) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender, (y) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon (other than a waiver of default interest) or (z) release any Guarantor or Subsidiary Grantor from its Obligations under the Guaranty, the Parent Guaranty, the Collateral Agreement or the Pledge Agreement, as the case may be, except as contemplated by Section 8.14.(b) or Section 8.14.(c), as the case may be, in each case, as applicable to that portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations that are subject to the participation.  The Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.10., 5.1., 5.4. (subject to the requirements and limitations therein, including the requirements under Section 3.10.(g) (it being understood that the documentation required under Section 3.10.(g) shall be delivered to the participating Lender)) to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section; provided that such Participant (A) agrees to be subject to the provisions of Section 5.6. as if it were an assignee under subsection (b) of this Section; and (B) shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.10. or 5.1., with respect to any participation, than its participating Lender would have been entitled to receive, except to the extent such entitlement to receive a greater payment results from a Regulatory Change that occurs after the Participant acquired the applicable participation.  Each Lender that sells a participation agrees, at the Borrower’s request and expense, to use reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Borrower to effectuate the provisions of Section 5.6. with respect to any Participant.  To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.4. as though it were a Lender; provided that such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.3. as though it were a Lender.  Each Lender that sells a participation shall, acting solely for this purpose as a non-fiduciary agent of the Borrower, maintain a register on which it enters the name and address of each Participant and the principal amounts (and stated interest) of each Participant’s interest in the Loans or other obligations under the Loan Documents (the “Participant Register”); provided further that no Lender shall have any obligation to disclose all or any portion of the Participant Register (including the identity of any Participant or any information relating to a Participant’s interest in any commitments, loans, letters of credit or its other obligations under any Loan Document) to any Person except to the extent that such disclosure is necessary to establish that such commitment, loan, letter of credit or other obligation is in registered form under Section 5f.103-1(c) of the United States Treasury Regulations.  The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register 

	
			
	 
	142
	 

as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.  For the avoidance of doubt, the Administrative Agent (in its capacity as Administrative Agent) shall have no responsibility for maintaining a Participant Register.
(e)    Certain Pledges.  Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.
(f)    No Registration.  Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other jurisdiction.
(g)    Patriot Act Notice; Compliance.  In order for the Administrative Agent to comply with “know your customer” and Anti-Money Laundering Laws, including, without limitation, the Patriot Act, prior to any Lender that is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America becoming a party hereto, the Administrative Agent may request, and such Lender shall provide to the Administrative Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for the Administrative Agent to comply with federal law.

No amendment, waiver or consent unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or modify Section 11.10.  Any amendment, waiver or consent relating to Section 2.4. or the obligations of any Swingline Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the written consent of each Swingline Lender.  Any amendment, waiver or consent relating to Section 2.3. or the obligations of the Issuing Banks under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the written consent of the Issuing Banks.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Defaulting Lender shall have any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment, waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender may be effected with the consent of the applicable Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders), except that (x) the Commitments of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased, reinstated or extended without the written consent of such Defaulting Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender that by its terms affects any Defaulting Lender more adversely than other affected Lenders shall require the written consent of such Defaulting Lender.  No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein.  No course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto.  Any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by the Parent, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default.  Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

		
	Section 13.8.  
	Non-Liability of Administrative Agent and Lenders. 

The relationship between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender.  The Administrative Agent, each Lender and their Affiliates may have economic interests that conflict with those of the Loan Parties, their stockholders and partners and/or their Affiliates.  Neither the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender to any Lender, the Parent, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party.  Neither the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower or the Parent to review or inform the Borrower or the Parent of any matter in connection with any phase of the business or operations of the Borrower, the Parent or any of their respective Subsidiaries or Affiliates.

	Section 13.9.  
	Confidentiality. 

Except as otherwise provided by Applicable Law, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender shall maintain the confidentiality of all Information (as defined below) in accordance with its customary procedure for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices but in any event may make disclosure: (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its Affiliates’ other respective Related Parties (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information confidential); (b) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of this Section, to (i) any actual or proposed assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with a potential transfer of any Commitment or participation therein as permitted hereunder, or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty (or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its obligations; (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings, or as otherwise required by Applicable Law; (d) to the Administrative Agent’s, such Issuing Bank’s or such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information); (e) in connection with the exercise of any remedies under any Loan Document (or any Specified Derivatives Contract) or any action or proceeding relating to any Loan Document (or any such Specified Derivatives Contract) or the enforcement of rights hereunder or thereunder; (f) to the extent such Information (i) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section actually known by the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender to be a breach of this Section or (ii) becomes available to the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender or any Affiliate of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower; (g) to the extent requested by, or required to be disclosed to, any nationally recognized rating agency or regulatory or similar authority (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of Insurance Commissioners) having or purporting to have jurisdiction over such Person or its Related Parties; (h) of deal terms and other information customarily reported to Thomson Reuters, other bank market data collectors and similar service providers to the lending industry and service providers to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the administration of the Loan Documents; (i) to any other party hereto; (j) on a confidential basis to the CUSIP Service Bureau or any similar agency in connection with the issuance and monitoring of CUSIP numbers with respect to the Loan Documents; (k) for purposes of establishing a “due diligence” defense; and (l) with the consent of the Borrower.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrative Agent, each Issuing Bank and each Lender may disclose any such confidential information, without notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, to Governmental Authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender or in accordance with the regulatory compliance policy of the Administrative Agent, such Issuing Bank or such Lender.  As used in this Section, the term “Information” means all information received from the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or Affiliate relating to any Loan Party or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or any Issuing Bank on a non-confidential basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate, provided that, in the case of any such information received from the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any other Subsidiary or any Affiliate after the date hereof, such information is clearly identified at the time of delivery as confidential.  Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.

	Section 13.10.  
	Indemnification. 

(a)    The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Issuing Bank, each Lender and each Related Party of any of the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnified Party”) against, and hold each Indemnified Party harmless from, and shall pay or reimburse any such Indemnified Party for, any and all of the following (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”): losses, claims (including, without limitation, Environmental Claims), damages, liabilities and related expenses (including, without limitation, the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnified Party (which counsel may be employees of any Indemnified Party)), incurred by any Indemnified Party or asserted against any Indemnified Party by any Person (including the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary) other than such Indemnified Party and its Related Parties, arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance by the parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, (ii) any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by any Issuing Bank to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit), (iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property owned or operated by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, or any Environmental Claim related in any way to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, (iv) any actual or prospective claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, and regardless of whether any Indemnified Party is a party thereto, or (v) any claim (including, without limitation, any Environmental Claims), investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank or any Lender is a party thereto) and the prosecution and defense thereof, arising out of or in any way connected with the Loans, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any documents contemplated by or referred to herein or therein or the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys and consultant’s fees (any claim, investigation, litigation or other proceeding of the type described in clauses (iv) or (v) referred to herein as an “Indemnity Proceeding”); provided, however, that such indemnity shall not, as to any Indemnified Party, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related expenses are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.
(b)    If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this Section are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law.
(c)    Subject to the immediately following Section 13.11., the Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment in full in cash of the Obligations, and are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any of the other obligations set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party.
(d)    This indemnification shall apply to any Indemnity Proceeding arising during the pendency of any bankruptcy proceeding filed by or against the Borrower and/or any Subsidiary.
(e)    All out-of-pocket fees and expenses of, and all amounts paid to third-persons by, an Indemnified Party shall be advanced by the Borrower at the request of such Indemnified Party notwithstanding any claim or assertion by the Borrower that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to 

	
			
	 
	148
	 

indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Party that such Indemnified Party will reimburse the Borrower if it is actually and finally determined in a non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not so entitled to indemnification hereunder.  Each Indemnified Party shall use its reasonable efforts to give the Borrower as much advance notice of anticipated fees, expenses and costs as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances, but failure to give such notice shall not absolve the Borrower of the Borrower’s obligation to pay the same.
(f)    An Indemnified Party may conduct its own investigation and defense of, and may formulate its own strategy with respect to, any Indemnity Proceeding covered by this Section and, as provided above, all Indemnified Costs incurred by such Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Borrower.  No action taken by legal counsel chosen by an Indemnified Party in investigating or defending against any such Indemnity Proceeding shall vitiate or in any way impair the obligations and duties of the Borrower hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless each such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that (i) if the Borrower is required to indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant hereto and (ii) the Borrower has provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party that the Borrower has the financial wherewithal to reimburse such Indemnified Party for any amount paid by such Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnity Proceeding, such Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrower where (x) no monetary relief is sought against such Indemnified Party in such Indemnity Proceeding or (y) there is an allegation of a violation of law by such Indemnified Party.
References in this Section 13.10. to “Lender” or “Lenders” shall be deemed to include such Persons (and their Affiliates) in their capacity as Specified Derivatives Providers.

		
	Section 13.11.  
	Termination; Survival. 

This Agreement shall terminate at such time as (a) all of the Commitments have been terminated, (b) all Letters of Credit have terminated or expired or been cancelled (other than Extended Letters of Credit in respect of which the Borrower has satisfied the requirements to provide Cash Collateral as required in Section 2.3.(b)), (c) none of the Lenders is obligated any longer under this Agreement to make any Loans and no Issuing Bank is obligated any longer under this Agreement to issue Letters of Credit and (d) all Obligations (other than obligations which survive as provided in the following sentence) have been paid and satisfied in full.  The indemnities to which the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders are entitled under the provisions of Sections 3.10., 5.1., 5.4., 12.8., 13.2. and 13.10. and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the provisions of Section 13.5., shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Administrative Agent, the Issuing Banks and the Lenders (i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, against events arising after such termination as well as before and (ii) at all times after any such party ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior to the date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement.

		
	Section 13.12.  
	Severability of Provisions. 

If any provision under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severed from the Loan Documents, and the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall remain in 

	
			
	 
	149
	 

full force as though the invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision had never been part of the Loan Documents.

		
	Section 13.13.

	Section 13.16.  
	Independence of Covenants. 

All covenants hereunder shall be given in any jurisdiction independent effect so that if a particular action or condition is not permitted by any of such covenants, the fact that it would be permitted by an exception to, or be otherwise within the limitations of, another covenant shall not avoid the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default if such action is taken or condition exists.

		
	Section 13.17.  
	Limitation of Liability. 

None of the Administrative Agent, any Issuing Bank, any Lender, or any of their respective Related Parties shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower and the Parent each hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential or punitive damages suffered or incurred by the Borrower or the Parent in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

		
	Section 13.18.  
	Entire Agreement. 

This Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents embody the final, entire agreement among the parties hereto and supersede any and all prior commitments, agreements, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof and may not be contradicted or varied by evidence of prior, contemporaneous, or subsequent oral agreements or discussions of the parties hereto.  To the extent any term of this Agreement is inconsistent with a term of any other Loan Document to which the parties of this Agreement are party, the term of this Agreement shall control to the extent of such inconsistency.

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing:  (a) if an Event of Default occurs, nothing contained herein shall in any way prevent or hinder the Administrative Agent or the Lenders in the pursuit or enforcement of any right, remedy or judgment against the Borrower or any other Loan Party, or any of their respective assets; and (b) the General Partner shall be fully liable to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to the same extent that the General Partner would be liable absent the foregoing provisions of this Section for fraud or willful misrepresentation by the Borrower, the General Partner, its or their Affiliates or predecessor general partner (i.e., the Parent) (to the full extent of losses suffered by the Administrative Agent or any Lender by reason of such fraud or willful misrepresentations).

THE PARTIES HERETO ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE OCCURRENCE OF ANY DEFAULT OR EVENT OF DEFAULT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT RESULTING FROM A BREACH BY THE PARENT OF, OR A MISREPRESENTATION BY THE PARENT UNDER OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO, ANY OF SUCH SECTIONS SHALL NOT CREATE ANY PERSONAL LIABILITY ON THE PART OF THE PARENT FOR THE PAYMENT OF THE OBLIGATIONS.  NOTHING CONTAINED IN THIS SECTION IS INTENDED TO LIMIT THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARENT UNDER THE PARENT GUARANTY.

		
	Section 13.23.  
	Limitation of Liability of Borrower’s Directors, Officers, Etc.

	151
	 

any EEA Financial Institution arising under any Loan Document, to the extent such liability is unsecured, may be subject to the Write-Down and Conversion Powers of an EEA Resolution Authority and agrees and consents to, and acknowledges and agrees to be bound by:

described in this Section 3 and may otherwise: (a) amend, modify, alter or supplement the terms of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, including, but not limited to, extending or shortening the time of payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or changing the interest rate that may accrue on any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (b) amend, modify, alter or supplement any Guaranteed Document; (c) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with all, or any part, of any collateral securing any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (d) release any Loan Party or other Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of any of the Guaranteed Obligations; (e) exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights against any Loan Party or any other Person; and (f) apply any sum, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the Guaranteed Obligations in such order as the Guaranteed Parties shall elect.
SECTION 4.    Discharge; Reinstatement In Certain Circumstances.  Each of the Guarantors’ obligations hereunder shall remain in full force and effect until the earlier of (a)(i) all Guaranteed Obligations shall have been indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than Unliquidated Obligations that have not yet arisen), (ii) the Revolving Commitments, Term Loan Commitments, Swingline Commitments, Reimbursement Obligations and all Letters of Credit issued under the Credit Agreement shall have terminated or expired or, in the case of all Letters of Credit, are fully collateralized on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent and (iii) each Guaranteed Document shall have been terminated or cancelled in accordance with its terms, at which time, subject to all the foregoing conditions, the guarantees made hereunder shall automatically terminate, or (b) a Guarantor shall be released of its obligations under this Guaranty pursuant to Section 8.14.(b) of the Credit Agreement.  If claim is ever made on the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, and the Administrative Agent or such other Guaranteed Party repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Administrative Agent or such other Guaranteed Party with any such claimant (including the Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy for the Borrower), then and in such event each Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any of the Guaranteed Documents and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the Administrative Agent or such other Guaranteed Party for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to the Administrative Agent or such other Guaranteed Party.  
“Unliquidated Obligations” means at any time, any Obligations (or portion thereof) that are contingent in nature or unliquidated at such time, including any Obligation that is: (i) an obligation under the Credit Agreement to reimburse any Issuing Bank for drawings not yet made under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank; (ii) any other obligation (including any guarantee) under the Credit Agreement that is contingent in nature at such time; or (iii) an obligation under the Credit Agreement to provide collateral to secure any of the foregoing types of obligations.
SECTION 5.    General Waivers; Additional Waivers.  
(a)    General Waivers.  Each of the Guarantors irrevocably waives notice of acceptance hereof, presentment, demand or action on delinquency, protest, the benefit of any statutes of limitations and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice of any kind not provided for herein or under the other Guaranteed Documents, as well as any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, or any other requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Borrower, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other Person, which in any manner or to any extent might vary the 

B-6

risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.
(b)    Additional Waivers.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, each of the Guarantors hereby absolutely, unconditionally, knowingly, and expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law:
(i)    any right it may have to revoke this Guaranty as to future indebtedness or notice of acceptance hereof;
(ii)    (1) notice of acceptance hereof; (2) notice of any Loans, Letters of Credit or other financial accommodations made or extended under the Guaranteed Documents or the creation or existence of any Guaranteed Obligations; (3) notice of the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, subject, however, to each Guarantor’s right to make inquiry of the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties to ascertain the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations at any reasonable time; (4) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of the Borrower or of any other fact that might increase such Guarantor’s risk hereunder; (5) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any instruments among the Guaranteed Documents; (6) notice of any Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or of any default or event of default under any other Guaranteed Document; and (7) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to such Guarantor hereunder or under the Guaranteed Documents) and demands to which each Guarantor might otherwise be entitled;
(iii)    its right, if any, to require the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties to institute suit against, or to exhaust any rights and remedies which the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties has or may have against, the other Guarantors or any third party; and each Guarantor further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than the defense that the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash) of the other Guarantors or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of the other Guarantors in respect thereof; 
(iv)    (a) any rights to assert against the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which such Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against the other Guarantors or any other party liable to the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties unless due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Guaranteed Party as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment; (b) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense such Guarantor has to performance hereunder, and any right such Guarantor has to be exonerated, arising by reason of:  (1) the impairment or suspension of the Administrative Agent’s and the other Guaranteed Parties’ rights or remedies against the other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; (2) the alteration by the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties of the Guaranteed Obligations; (3) any discharge of the other Guarantors’ obligations to the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties by operation of law as a result of the Administrative Agent’s and the other Guaranteed Parties’ intervention or omission; or (4) the acceptance by the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties of anything in partial satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (d) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of limitations applicable to the Guaranteed Obligations shall similarly operate to defer or 

B-7

delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to such Guarantor’s liability hereunder; and
(v)    any defense arising by reason of or deriving from (a) any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties; or (b) any election by the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties under the Bankruptcy Code, to limit the amount of its claim against the Guarantors.
SECTION 6.    Subordination of Subrogation; Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness.  
(a)    Subordination of Subrogation.  Unless and until the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than Unliquidated Obligations), the Guarantors (i) shall have no right of subrogation with respect to such Guaranteed Obligations and shall not enforce any right or receive any payment by way of subrogation or otherwise take any action in respect of any other claim or cause of action such Guarantor may have against such Loan Party arising by reason of any payment or performance by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty and (ii) waive any right to enforce any remedy which any of the Guaranteed Parties now have or may hereafter have against the Borrower, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person.  Should any Guarantor have the right, notwithstanding the foregoing, to exercise its subrogation rights, each Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably (A) subordinates any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off that such Guarantor may have to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations until the Guaranteed Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than Unliquidated Obligations) and (B) waives any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until the Guaranteed Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than Unliquidated Obligations that have not yet arisen).  Each Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties and shall not limit or otherwise affect such Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Guaranty, and that the Administrative Agent, the other Guaranteed Parties and their respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 6(a).  If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor on account of or in respect of such subrogation rights or other claims or causes of action, such Guarantor shall hold such amount in trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties and shall forthwith pay such amount to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral security for any Guaranteed Obligations existing.
(b)    Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness.  Each Guarantor agrees for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties that any and all claims of such Guarantor against the Borrower, any other Guarantor hereunder or any other Loan Party (each an “Obligor”) with respect to all obligations and liabilities of any Obligor to such Guarantor of whatever description, including, without limitation, any “Intercompany Indebtedness” (as hereinafter defined), any endorser, obligor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or against any of its properties (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment, indefeasibly in full and in cash, of all Guaranteed Obligations; provided that, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Guarantor may receive payments of principal and interest from any Obligor with respect to any Junior Claim.  Notwithstanding any right of any Guarantor to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from any Obligor, all rights, liens and security interests of such Guarantor, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of any other Obligor shall be and are subordinated to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties in those assets.  No Guarantor shall have any right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully and indefeasibly paid and satisfied 

B-8

(in cash) and all financing arrangements pursuant to any Guaranteed Document have been terminated.  If all or any part of the assets of any Obligor, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or application to the creditors of such Obligor, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding, or if the business of any such Obligor is dissolved or if substantially all of the assets of any such Obligor are sold, then, and in any such event (such events being herein referred to as an “Insolvency Event”), any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any indebtedness of any Obligor to any Guarantor (“Intercompany Indebtedness”) shall be paid or delivered directly to the Administrative Agent for application on any of the Guaranteed Obligations, due or to become due, until such Guaranteed Obligations shall have first been fully and indefeasibly paid and satisfied (in cash).  Should any payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by the applicable Guarantor upon or with respect to the Intercompany Indebtedness after any Insolvency Event and prior to the satisfaction of all of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of all Guaranteed Documents, such Guarantor shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties, in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of such Guarantor where necessary), for application to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by the Guarantor as the property of the Guaranteed Parties.  If any such Guarantor fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent or any of its officers or employees is irrevocably authorized to make the same.  Each Guarantor agrees that until the Guaranteed Obligations (other than the Unliquidated Obligations) have been indefeasibly paid in full (in cash) and satisfied and all Guaranteed Documents have been terminated, no Guarantor will assign or transfer to any Person (other than the Administrative Agent) any Junior Claim.
SECTION 7.    Contribution with Respect to Guaranteed Obligations.
(a)    To the extent that any Guarantor shall make a payment under this Guaranty (a “Guarantor Payment”) which, taking into account all other Guarantor Payments then previously or concurrently made by any other Guarantor, exceeds the amount which otherwise would have been paid by or attributable to such Guarantor if each Guarantor had paid the aggregate Guaranteed Obligations satisfied by such Guarantor Payment in the same proportion as such Guarantor’s “Allocable Amount” (as defined below) (as determined immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment) bore to the aggregate Allocable Amounts of each of the Guarantors as determined immediately prior to the making of such Guarantor Payment, then, following indefeasible payment in full in cash of the Guarantor Payment and the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Unliquidated Obligations that have not yet arisen), and all Revolving Commitments, Term Loan Commitments, Swingline Commitments, Reimbursement Obligations and Letters of Credit have terminated or expired or, in the case of all Letters of Credit, are fully collateralized on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, and each Guaranteed Document has terminated, such Guarantor shall be entitled to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, each other Guarantor for the amount of such excess, pro rata based upon their respective Allocable Amounts in effect immediately prior to such Guarantor Payment.
(b)    As of any date of determination, the “Allocable Amount” of any Guarantor shall be equal to the excess of the fair saleable value of the property of such Guarantor over the total liabilities of such Guarantor (including the maximum amount reasonably expected to become due in respect of contingent liabilities, calculated, without duplication, assuming each other Guarantor that is also liable for such contingent liability pays its ratable share thereof), giving effect to all payments made by other Guarantors as of such date in a manner to maximize the amount of such contributions.

B-9

(c)    This Section 7 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Guarantors, and nothing set forth in this Section 7 is intended to or shall impair the obligations of the Guarantors, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Guaranty.
(d)    The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution and indemnification hereunder shall constitute assets of the Guarantor or Guarantors to which such contribution and indemnification is owing.
(e)    (i) The payment obligations of any Guarantor under this Section 7 shall be subordinate and subject in right of payment to the Guaranteed Obligations and (ii) the rights of the indemnifying Guarantors against other Guarantors under this Section 7 shall not be exercisable, in each case, until the full and indefeasible payment of the Guaranteed Obligations in cash (other than Unliquidated Obligations that have not yet arisen) and the termination or expiry (or in the case of all Letters of Credit full collateralization), on terms reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, of the Revolving Commitments, Term Loan Commitments, Swingline Commitments and all Letters of Credit issued under the Credit Agreement and the termination of each Guaranteed Document.  Subject to Section 6(a) of this Guaranty, this Section shall not be deemed to affect any right of subrogation, indemnity, reimbursement or contribution that any Guarantor may have under Applicable Law against any other Loan Party in respect of any payment of Guaranteed Obligations.
SECTION 8.    Limitation of Guaranty.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty, it is the intent of each Guarantor and the Guaranteed Parties that in any Proceeding, the maximum amount guaranteed by each Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the extent, if any, required so that its obligations hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Guaranteed Parties) shall not be subject to avoidance or be deemed unenforceable against such Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including, without limitation, Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law applied in such Proceeding (such provisions, the “Avoidance Provisions”), whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.  In determining the limitations, if any, on the amount of any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder pursuant to the preceding sentence, it is the intention of the parties hereto that any rights of subrogation, indemnification or contribution which such Guarantor may have under this Guaranty, any other agreement or applicable law shall be taken into account.  Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Guaranteed Obligations for which such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Guaranteed Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Guaranteed Parties), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions.  This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Guarantor or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Guaranteed Parties that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.
“Proceeding” means any of the following:  (i) a voluntary or involuntary case concerning any Guarantor shall be commenced under the Bankruptcy Code; (ii) a custodian (as defined in such Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable bankruptcy laws) is appointed for, or takes charge of, all or any substantial part of the property of any Guarantor; (iii) any other proceeding under any Applicable Law, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, winding‐up or composition for adjustment of debts, whether now or hereafter in effect, is commenced relating to any Guarantor; (iv) any Guarantor is adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt; (v) any order of relief or other order approving any such case or 

B-10

proceeding is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction; (vi) any Guarantor makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (vii) any Guarantor shall fail to pay, or shall state that it is unable to pay, or shall be unable to pay, its debts generally as they become due; (viii) any Guarantor shall call a meeting of its creditors with a view to arranging a composition or adjustment of its debts; (ix) any Guarantor shall by any act or failure to act indicate its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any of the foregoing; or (x) any corporate action shall be taken by any Guarantor for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing.
SECTION 9.    Stay of Acceleration.  If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Borrower or any Loan Party under the Credit Agreement or any other Guaranteed Document is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, such Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates or otherwise under Applicable Law, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Guaranteed Document shall nonetheless be payable by each of the Guarantors hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent or the other Guaranteed Parties.
SECTION 10.    Notices.  All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be given in the manner prescribed in Section 13.1. of the Credit Agreement with respect to the Administrative Agent at its notice address therein and, with respect to any Guarantor, in the care of the Borrower at the address of the Borrower set forth in the Credit Agreement, or such other address or telecopy number as such party may hereafter specify for such purpose in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1. of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 11.    No Waivers.  No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies provided in this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement and the other Guaranteed Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
SECTION 12.    Successors and Assigns.  This Guaranty is for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns (including, but not limited to, any holder of the Guaranteed Obligations) in whose favor the provisions of this Guaranty also shall inure, and each reference herein to each Guarantor shall be deemed to include such Guarantor’s successors and assigns, upon whom this Guaranty also shall be binding.  The Guaranteed Parties may, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Guaranteed Documents, assign, transfer or sell any Guaranteed Obligation, or grant or sell participations in any Guaranteed Obligations, to any Person without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor and without releasing, discharging or modifying any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.  Each Guarantor hereby consents to the delivery by the Administrative Agent and any other Guaranteed Party to any Assignee or Participant (or any prospective Assignee or Participant) of any financial or other information regarding the Borrower or any Guarantor.  No Guarantor shall have any right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, and any such assignment or transfer in violation of this Section 12 shall be null and void; and in the event of an assignment of any amounts payable under the Credit Agreement or the other Guaranteed Documents in accordance with the respective terms thereof, the rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the indebtedness so assigned, may be transferred with such indebtedness.  This Guaranty shall be binding upon each of the Guarantors and their respective successors and assigns.
SECTION 13.    Changes in Writing.  Other than in connection with the addition of additional Subsidiaries, which become parties hereto by executing a Guaranty Supplement hereto in the form attached as Annex I, neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or 

B-11

terminated orally, but only in writing signed by each of the Guarantors and the Administrative Agent, subject to Section 13.7. of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 14.    Governing Law; Jurisdiction.  
(a)    THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.
(b)    EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG THE GUARANTORS AND ANY OF THE GUARANTEED PARTIES WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES.  ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE GUARANTEED PARTIES, BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS HEREOF, AND EACH OF THE GUARANTORS HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, OR ANY OTHER GUARANTEED DOCUMENT OR WITH ANY COLLATERAL OR ANY LIEN OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE GUARANTORS, THE PARENT, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK, ANY SPECIFIED DERIVATIVES PROVIDER OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE GUARANTEED DOCUMENTS.
(c)    EACH GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER, ANY ISSUING BANK, ANY SPECIFIED DERIVATIVES PROVIDER OR ANY RELATED PARTY OF THE FOREGOING IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER GUARANTEED DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW.  NOTHING IN THIS GUARANTY OR IN ANY OTHER GUARANTEED DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER, ANY SPECIFIED DERIVATIVES PROVIDER OR ANY ISSUING BANK MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER GUARANTEED DOCUMENT AGAINST ANY GUARANTOR OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.  EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR 

B-12

CLAIM THE SAME.  THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK, ANY SPECIFIED DERIVATIVES PROVIDER OR ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK, ANY SPECIFIED DERIVATIVES PROVIDER OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.
(d)    EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS ISSUED THEREIN, AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO THE BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES PROVIDED FOR IN THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.  SHOULD A GUARANTOR FAIL TO APPEAR OR ANSWER ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT, PROCESS OR PAPERS SO SERVED WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE MAILING THEREOF, SUCH GUARANTOR SHALL BE DEEMED IN DEFAULT AND AN ORDER AND/OR JUDGMENT MAY BE ENTERED AGAINST IT AS DEMANDED OR PRAYED FOR IN SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT, PROCESS OR PAPERS.
(e)    THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER GUARANTEED DOCUMENTS, THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF ALL LETTERS OF CREDIT, THE TERMINATION OF EACH GUARANTEED DOCUMENT AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTY.
SECTION 15.    No Strict Construction.  The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Guaranty.  In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Guaranty shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Guaranty.
SECTION 16.    Taxes; Expenses of Enforcement, Etc.  
(a)    Taxes.  All payments by any Guarantor of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other Obligations shall be paid in full, made free and clear of and without set-off or counterclaim or any deduction or withholding whatsoever (including for any Taxes).  If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by a Guarantor hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes or any other deduction or withholding pursuant to any Applicable Law, then such Guarantor shall pay to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders such additional amount as will result in the receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of the full amount payable hereunder had such deduction or withholding not occurred or been required.
(b)    The Guarantors agree to reimburse the Guaranteed Parties for any reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees) paid or incurred by any Guaranteed Party in connection with the collection and enforcement of amounts due under the Guaranteed Documents, including without limitation this Guaranty.
SECTION 17.    Set-Off.  In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any of the other Guaranteed Documents or Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Guarantor hereby authorizes each Guaranteed Party, each Affiliate of a Guaranteed Party, and each Participant, at any 

B-13

time while an Event of Default exists, without any prior notice to such Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Guaranteed Party (other than the Administrative Agent), an Affiliate of a Guaranteed Party (other than the Administrative Agent), or a Participant, subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders exercised in their sole discretion, to set-off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by a Guaranteed Party, an Affiliate of a Guaranteed Party or such Participant to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor against and on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured.  Each Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, that any Participant may exercise rights of setoff or counterclaim and other rights with respect to its participation as fully as if such Participant were a direct creditor of such Guarantor in the amount of such participation.  
SECTION 18.    Financial Information.  Each Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and any and all endorsers and/or other guarantors of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and each Guarantor hereby agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Guaranteed Party shall have any duty to advise such Guarantor of information known to any of them regarding such condition or any such circumstances.  In the event the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to a Guarantor, such Guaranteed Party or the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation (i) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (ii) to disclose any information which such Guaranteed Party or the Administrative Agent, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (iii) to make any other or future disclosures of such information or any other information to such Guarantor.
SECTION 19.    Severability.  Wherever possible, each provision of this Guaranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid or unenforceable under any such Applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition, unenforceability or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty.
SECTION 20.    Merger.  This Guaranty represents the final agreement of each of the Guarantors with respect to the matters contained herein and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior or contemporaneous agreements, or subsequent oral agreements, between each such Guarantor and the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party.
SECTION 21.    Headings.  Section headings in this Guaranty are for convenience of reference only and shall not govern the interpretation of any provision of this Guaranty.
SECTION 22.    Termination of Guarantors.  This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect with respect to each Guarantor until indefeasible payment in full of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination or cancellation of all Guaranteed Documents in accordance with their respective terms; 

B-14

provided that the obligations of any Guarantor under this Guaranty shall automatically terminate in accordance with Section 8.14.(b) of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 23.    General Partner.  CBL Holdings I, Inc., the general partner of the Borrower, shall not be personally liable for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations, except to the extent provided for in Section 13.21. of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 24.    Loan Accounts.  The Administrative Agent and each other Guaranteed Party may maintain books and accounts setting forth the amounts of principal, interest and other sums paid and payable with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations arising under or in connection with the Guaranteed Documents, and in the case of any dispute relating to any of the outstanding amount, payment or receipt of any of such Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, the entries in such books and accounts shall be binding on the Guarantors absent manifest error.  The failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party to maintain such books and accounts shall not in any way relieve or discharge any Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder.

FORM OF PARENT GUARANTY

THIS PARENT GUARANTY (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, this “Guaranty”) is made as of January 30, 2019 by CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (“Guarantor”) in favor of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as Administrative Agent (the “Administrative Agent”), for its benefit and for the benefit of the Lenders and the Issuing Banks under the Credit Agreement described below (the Administrative Agent, the Lenders, the Swingline Lenders and the Issuing Banks, each individually a “Guaranteed Party” and collectively, the “Guaranteed Parties”).  Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Credit Agreement.
W I T N E S S E T H :

WHEREAS, CBL & Associates Limited Partnership (the “Borrower”), the Guarantor, the financial institutions party thereto from time to time (the “Lenders”) and the Administrative Agent are party to that certain Credit Agreement dated as of January 30, 2019 (as the same may be amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), which Credit Agreement provides, subject to the terms and conditions thereof, for extensions of credit and other financial accommodations to be made by the Lenders to or for the benefit of the Borrower;
WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the extensions of credit by the Lenders under the Credit Agreement that the Guarantor agree to guarantee the payment when due of  all obligations of CBL Holdings I, Inc., the general partner of the Borrower, and its successors as general partner of the Borrower (hereinafter referred to as the “General Partner”) pursuant to the Loan Documents (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 13.21. of the Credit Agreement); 
WHEREAS, the Guarantor is an Affiliate of the Borrower; and
WHEREAS, in consideration of the direct and indirect financial and other support and benefits that the Borrower has provided, and such direct and indirect financial and other support and benefits as the Borrower may in the future provide, to the Guarantor, which significantly facilitates the business operations of the Borrower and the Guarantor, and in order to induce the Lenders, the Issuing Banks and the Administrative Agent to enter into the Credit Agreement, and to make the Loans and the other financial accommodations to the Borrower and to issue the Letters of Credit described in the Credit Agreement, the Guarantor is willing to guarantee the payment when due of all obligations of the General Partner under the Loan Documents;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1.    Representations, Warranties and Covenants.  The Guarantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and each other Guaranteed Party as of the date of this Guaranty, giving effect to the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents on the Effective Date, and thereafter on each date as required by Section 6.2. of the Credit Agreement that:
(a)    It is a corporation, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the jurisdiction of its incorporation, has the power and authority to own or lease its properties and to carry on 

G-1

its business as now being and hereafter proposed to be conducted and is duly qualified and is in good standing as a domestic or foreign corporation, and authorized to do business, in each jurisdiction in which the character of its properties or the nature of its business requires such qualification or authorization and where the failure to be so qualified or authorized could reasonably be expected to have, in each instance, a Material Adverse Effect. Guarantor is not an EEA Financial Institution. 
(b)    It has the right and power, and has taken all necessary action required to authorize it, to execute, deliver and perform this Guaranty in accordance with its terms and to perform its obligations hereunder.  This Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by the duly authorized officers of the Guarantor and is a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as the same may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally and the availability of equitable remedies for the enforcement of certain obligations (other than the payment of principal) contained herein and as may be limited by equitable principles generally.
(c)    The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty in accordance with its terms and the obligations hereunder do not and will not, by the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both:  (i) require any Governmental Approval or violate any Applicable Law (including all Environmental Laws) relating to the Guarantor; (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under the organizational documents of the Guarantor, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which the Guarantor is a party or by which it or any of its respective properties may be bound; or (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any Property now owned or hereafter acquired by the Guarantor other than in favor of the Administrative Agent for its benefit and the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties.  It is in compliance with each Governmental Approval and all other Applicable Laws (including, without limitation, Anti-Corruption Laws and Sanctions) relating to it except for non-compliances which, and Governmental Approvals the failure to possess which, could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to cause a Default or Event of Default or have a Material Adverse Effect.
(d)    It has no Indebtedness other than Indebtedness permitted under the Credit Agreement.
In addition to the foregoing, the Guarantor hereby covenants that, so long as any Guaranteed Party has any Revolving Commitment, Term Loan Commitment, Swingline Commitment, Reimbursement Obligation or Letter of Credit outstanding under the Credit Agreement or outstanding Loan or other amount payable under the Credit Agreement or any other Obligations shall remain unpaid, it will, and, if necessary, will cause the Borrower and the General Partner to, fully comply with those covenants and agreements of the Borrower and the General Partner applicable to the Guarantor set forth in the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 2.    The Guaranty.  The Guarantor hereby absolutely, irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the full and punctual payment and performance when due (whether at stated maturity, upon acceleration or otherwise) of all obligations of the General Partner now or hereafter existing under the Credit Agreement, the Notes issued thereunder and the other Guaranteed Documents executed in connection therewith (subject to the limitations set forth in Section 13.21. of the Credit Agreement) (all of the foregoing being herein referred to collectively as the “Guaranteed Obligations”).  Upon the failure by the Borrower, the General Partner, or any of their respective Affiliates, as applicable, to pay punctually or perform the Guaranteed Obligations, subject to any applicable grace or notice and cure period, the Guarantor agrees that it shall forthwith on demand pay such amount or perform such obligation at the place and in the manner specified in the Credit Agreement or the relevant other Loan Document, as the case may be.  The Guarantor hereby agrees that this Guaranty is an absolute, irrevocable and unconditional guaranty of payment and is not a guaranty of collection, and a debt of the Guarantor for its own account. Accordingly, the Guaranteed Parties shall not be obligated or required before enforcing this Guaranty against the 

G-2

Guarantor: (a) to pursue any right or remedy the Guaranteed Parties may have against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person or commence any suit or other proceeding against the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person in any court or other tribunal; (b) to make any claim in a liquidation or bankruptcy of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person; or (c) to make demand of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person or to enforce or seek to enforce or realize upon any collateral security held by the Guaranteed Parties which may secure any of the Guaranteed Obligations.
SECTION 3.    Guaranty Unconditional.  The Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the documents evidencing the same, regardless of any Applicable Law now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Guaranteed Parties with respect thereto. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be unconditional, irrevocable and absolute, and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, discharged, suspended, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following (whether or not the Guarantor consents thereto or has notice thereof):
(i)    any extension, renewal, settlement, indulgence, compromise, consent to departure from, waiver or release of or with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any of the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other document, instrument or agreement evidencing or relating to any Guaranteed Obligations (the “Guaranteed Documents”), or with respect to any obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, whether (in any such case) by operation of law or otherwise, or any failure or omission to enforce any right, power or remedy with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating thereto, or with respect to any obligation of any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(ii)    any modification or amendment of or supplement to, or deletion from, or any other action or inaction under or in respect of, any Guaranteed Document or any assignment or transfer of any Guaranteed Document, including, without limitation, any such amendment which may (x) increase the amount of, or the interest rates applicable to, or change the due date of, any of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby, or (y) change the time, place or manner of payment of all or any portion of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(iii)    any release, surrender, compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without consideration, of any other guaranties with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof, or any other obligation of any person or entity with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof;
(iv)    any change in the corporate, partnership, limited liability company or other existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower, the General Partner or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other similar proceeding affecting the Borrower, the General Partner, any other Loan Party or any other Person, or any of their respective assets or any resulting release or discharge of any obligation of the Borrower, the General Partner or any other Loan Party, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding;
(v)    the existence of any defense, claim, setoff, counterclaim or other rights (other than indefeasible payment and performance in full) which the Guarantor may have at any time or be asserted by the Guarantor or any other Loan Party or any other Person against the Borrower, the General Partner, any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Administrative 

G-3

Agent, any other Guaranteed Party or any other Person, whether in connection herewith or in connection with any unrelated transactions, provided that nothing herein shall prevent the assertion of any such claim by separate suit or compulsory counterclaim;
(iv)    any lack of enforceability or validity of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof or any lack of genuineness, enforceability or validity of any Guaranteed Document or any assignment or transfer of any Guaranteed Document, or any other invalidity or unenforceability relating to or against the Borrower, the General Partner or any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, for any reason related to the Credit Agreement or any other Guaranteed Document, or any provision of applicable law, decree, order or regulation purporting to prohibit the payment by the Borrower, the General Partner or any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise affecting any term of any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(or any successor statute, the “Bankruptcy Code”), of the application of Section 1111(b)(2) of the Bankruptcy Code;
(vii)    any furnishing to any of the Guaranteed Parties or any security for any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any sale, exchange, release or surrender of, or realization on, any collateral securing any of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(viii)    any settlement or compromise of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor, or any liability of any other party with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any subordination of the payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations to the payment of any other liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party;
(ix)    any borrowing or grant of a security interest by the Borrower or the General Partner, as debtor-in-possession, under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy Code;
(x)    the disallowance, under Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, of all or any portion of the claims of the Administrative Agent or the other Guaranteed Parties for repayment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations;
(xi)    the failure of any other guarantor to sign or become party to this Guaranty or any amendment, change, or reaffirmation hereof;

G-4

(xvi)    any statement, representation or warranty made or deemed made by or on behalf of any Loan Party under any Guaranteed Document, any amendment hereto or thereto, proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any respect; or
(xvii)    any other act or omission to act or delay of any kind by the Borrower, the General Partner, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, the Administrative Agent, any other Guaranteed Party or any other Person or any other circumstance whatsoever which might, but for the provisions of this Section 3, constitute a legal or equitable discharge of or a defense available to  the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder (other than indefeasible payment and performance in full) or otherwise reduce, release, prejudice or extinguish its liability under this Guaranty.

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

If claim is ever made on the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any Guaranteed Obligations, and the Administrative Agent or such other Guaranteed Party repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Administrative Agent or such other Guaranteed Party with any suck claimant (including the Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy for the Borrower or the General Partner), then and in such event the Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of any of the Guaranteed Documents and the Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the Administrative Agent or such other Guaranteed Party for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to the Administrative Agent or such other Guaranteed Party. 
“Unliquidated Obligations” means at any time, any Obligations (or portion thereof) that are contingent in nature or unliquidated at such time, including any Obligation that is: (i) an obligation under the Credit Agreement to reimburse any Issuing Bank for drawings not yet made under a Letter of Credit issued by such Issuing Bank; (ii) any other obligation (including any guarantee) under the Credit Agreement that is contingent in nature at such time; or (iii) an obligation under the Credit Agreement to provide collateral to secure any of the foregoing types of obligations.

SECTION 5.    General Waivers; Additional Waivers.  
(a)    General Waivers.  The Guarantor irrevocably waives notice of acceptance hereof, presentment, demand or action on delinquency, protest, the benefit of any statutes of limitations and, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any notice of any kind not provided for herein or under the other Guaranteed Documents, as well as any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, or any other requirement that at any time any action be taken by any Person against the Borrower, the General Partner, any other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any other Person, which in any manner or to any extent might vary the risk of the Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to discharge the Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.
(b)    Additional Waivers.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Guarantor hereby absolutely, unconditionally, knowingly, and expressly waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law:
(i)    any right it may have to revoke this Guaranty as to future indebtedness or notice of acceptance hereof;
(ii)    (1) notice of acceptance hereof; (2) notice of any Loans, Letters of Credit or other financial accommodations made or extended under the Guaranteed Documents or the creation or existence of any Guaranteed Obligations; (3) notice of the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations, subject, however, to the Guarantor’s right to make inquiry of the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties to ascertain the amount of the Guaranteed Obligations at any reasonable time; (4) notice of any adverse change in the financial condition of the Borrower or the General Partner or of any other fact that might increase the Guarantor’s risk hereunder; (5) notice of presentment for payment, demand, protest, and notice thereof as to any instruments among the Guaranteed Documents; (6) notice of any Default or Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or of any default or event of default under any other Guaranteed Document; and (7) all other notices (except if such notice is specifically required to be given to the Guarantor hereunder or under the Guaranteed Documents) and demands to which the Guarantor might otherwise be entitled;
(iii)    its right, if any, to require the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties to institute suit against, or to exhaust any rights and remedies which the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties has or may have against, the General Partner, the Subsidiary Guarantors or any third party; and the Guarantor further waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense (other than the defense that the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash) of the General Partner or the Subsidiary Guarantors or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of the General Partner or the Subsidiary Guarantors in respect thereof; 
(iv)    (a) any rights to assert against the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties any defense (legal or equitable), set-off, counterclaim, or claim which the Guarantor may now or at any time hereafter have against the General Partner, the Subsidiary Guarantors or any other party liable to the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties unless due to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent or such Guaranteed Party as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable judgment; (b) any defense, set-off, counterclaim, or claim, of any kind or nature, arising directly or indirectly from the present or future lack of sufficiency, validity, or enforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations; (c) any defense the Guarantor has to performance hereunder, and any right the Guarantor has to be exonerated, arising by reason of:  (1) the impairment or suspension of the Administrative Agent’s and the other Guaranteed Parties’ rights or remedies against the other guarantor of the Guaranteed Obligations; (2) the alteration by the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties of the 

G-6

Guaranteed Obligations; (3) any discharge of the obligations of the General Partner or the Subsidiary Guarantors to the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties by operation of law as a result of the Administrative Agent’s and the other Guaranteed Parties’ intervention or omission; or (4) the acceptance by the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties of anything in partial satisfaction of the Guaranteed Obligations; and (d) the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting the Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof, and any act which shall defer or delay the operation of any statute of limitations applicable to the Guaranteed Obligations shall similarly operate to defer or delay the operation of such statute of limitations applicable to the Guarantor’s liability hereunder; and
(v)    any defense arising by reason of or deriving from (a) any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties; or (b) any election by the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties under the Bankruptcy Code, to limit the amount of its claim against the Guarantor.
SECTION 6.    Subordination of Subrogation; Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness.
(a)    Subordination of Subrogation.  Unless and until the Guaranteed Obligations have been fully and finally performed and indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than Unliquidated Obligations), the Guarantor (i) shall have no right of subrogation with respect to such Guaranteed Obligations and shall not enforce any right or receive any payment by way of subrogation or otherwise take any action in respect of any other claim or cause of action the Guarantor may have against such Loan Party arising by reason of any payment or performance by the Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty and (ii) waives any right to enforce any remedy which any of the Guaranteed Parties now have or may hereafter have against the Borrower, the General Partner, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Person.  Should the Guarantor have the right, notwithstanding the foregoing, to exercise its subrogation rights, the Guarantor hereby expressly and irrevocably (A) subordinates any and all rights at law or in equity to subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, indemnification or set off that the Guarantor may have to the payment in full in cash of the Guaranteed Obligations until the Guaranteed Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than Unliquidated Obligations) and (B) waives any and all defenses available to a surety, guarantor or accommodation co-obligor until the Guaranteed Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full in cash (other than Unliquidated Obligations that have not yet arisen).  The Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that this subordination is intended to benefit the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties and shall not limit or otherwise affect the Guarantor’s liability hereunder or the enforceability of this Guaranty, and that the Administrative Agent, the other Guaranteed Parties and their respective successors and assigns are intended third party beneficiaries of the waivers and agreements set forth in this Section 6(a).  If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of or in respect of such subrogation rights or other claims or causes of action, the Guarantor shall hold such amount in trust for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties and shall forthwith pay such amount to the Administrative Agent to be credited and applied against the Guaranteed Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or to be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral security for any Guaranteed Obligations existing.
(b)    Subordination of Intercompany Indebtedness.  The Guarantor agrees for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties that any and all claims of the Guarantor against the Borrower, the General Partner, any Subsidiary Guarantor or any other Loan Party (each an “Obligor”) with respect to all obligations and liabilities of any Obligor to the Guarantor of whatever description, including without limitation, any “Intercompany Indebtedness” (as hereinafter defined), any endorser, obligor or any other guarantor of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, or against any of its properties (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to the prior payment indefeasibly, in full and in cash, of all Guaranteed Obligations; provided that, as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, 

G-7

the Guarantor may receive payments of principal and interest from any Obligor with respect to any Junior Claim.  Notwithstanding any right of the Guarantor to ask, demand, sue for, take or receive any payment from any Obligor, all rights, liens and security interests of the Guarantor, whether now or hereafter arising and howsoever existing, in any assets of any other Obligor shall be and are subordinated to the rights of the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties in those assets. The Guarantor shall not have any right to possession of any such asset or to foreclose upon any such asset, whether by judicial action or otherwise, unless and until all of the Guaranteed Obligations shall have been fully and indefeasibly paid and satisfied (in cash) and all financing arrangements pursuant to any Guaranteed Document have been terminated.  If all or any part of the assets of any Obligor, or the proceeds thereof, are subject to any distribution, division or application to the creditors of such Obligor, whether partial or complete, voluntary or involuntary, and whether by reason of liquidation, bankruptcy, arrangement, receivership, assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other action or proceeding, or if the business of any such Obligor is dissolved or if substantially all of the assets of any such Obligor are sold, then, and in any such event (such events being herein referred to as an “Insolvency Event”), any payment or distribution of any kind or character, either in cash, securities or other property, which shall be payable or deliverable upon or with respect to any indebtedness of any Obligor to the Guarantor (“Intercompany Indebtedness”) shall be paid or delivered directly to the Administrative Agent for application on any of the Guaranteed Obligations, due or to become due, until such Guaranteed Obligations shall have first been fully and indefeasibly paid and satisfied (in cash).  Should any payment, distribution, security or instrument or proceeds thereof be received by the Guarantor upon or with respect to the Intercompany Indebtedness after any Insolvency Event and prior to the satisfaction of all of the Guaranteed Obligations and the termination of all the Guaranteed Documents, the Guarantor shall receive and hold the same in trust, as trustee, for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties and shall forthwith deliver the same to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Guaranteed Parties, in precisely the form received (except for the endorsement or assignment of the Guarantor where necessary), for application to any of the Guaranteed Obligations, due or not due, and, until so delivered, the same shall be held in trust by the Guarantor as the property of the Guaranteed Parties.  If the Guarantor fails to make any such endorsement or assignment to the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent or any of its officers or employees is irrevocably authorized to make the same.  The Guarantor agrees that until the Guaranteed Obligations (other than the Unliquidated Obligations) have been indefeasibly paid in full (in cash) and satisfied and all the Guaranteed Documents have been terminated, the Guarantor will not assign or transfer to any Person (other than the Administrative Agent) any Junior Claim.
SECTION 7.    [Reserved].
SECTION 8.    Limitation of Guaranty.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty, it is the intent of the Guarantor and the Guaranteed Parties that in any Proceeding, the maximum amount guaranteed by the Guarantor hereunder shall be limited to the extent, if any, required so that its obligations hereunder (or any other obligations of the Guarantor to the Guaranteed Parties) shall not be subject to avoidance or be deemed unenforceable against the Guarantor  in such Proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including, without limitation, under Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or similar statute or common law applied in such Proceeding (such provisions, the “Avoidance Provisions”), whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise.  In determining the limitations, if any, on the amount of the Guarantor’s obligations hereunder pursuant to the preceding sentence, it is the intention of the parties hereto that any rights of subrogation, indemnification or contribution which the Guarantor may have under this Guaranty, any other agreement or applicable law shall be taken into account. Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Guaranteed Obligations for which the Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Guaranteed Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder (or 

G-8

any other obligations of the Guarantor to the Guaranteed Parties), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions.  This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and neither the Guarantor or nor any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Guaranteed Parties that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.
“Proceeding” means any of the following:  (i) a voluntary or involuntary case concerning the Guarantor shall be commenced under the Bankruptcy Code; (ii) a custodian (as defined in such Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable bankruptcy laws) is appointed for, or takes charge of, all or any substantial part of the property of the Guarantor; (iii) any other proceeding under any Applicable Law, domestic or foreign, relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, winding-up or composition for adjustment of debts, whether now or hereafter in effect, is commenced relating to the Guarantor; (iv) the Guarantor is adjudicated insolvent or bankrupt; (v) any order of relief or other order approving any such case or proceeding is entered by a court of competent jurisdiction; (vi) the Guarantor makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (vii) the Guarantor shall fail to pay, or shall state that it is unable to pay, or shall be unable to pay, its debts generally as they become due; (viii) the Guarantor shall call a meeting of its creditors with a view to arranging a composition or adjustment of its debts; (ix) the Guarantor shall by any act or failure to act indicate its consent to, approval of or acquiescence in any of the foregoing; or (x) any corporate action shall be taken by the Guarantor for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing.
SECTION 9.    Stay of Acceleration.  If acceleration of the time for payment of any amount payable by the Borrower, the General Partner or any Loan Party under the Credit Agreement or any other Guaranteed Document is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower, the General Partner, any Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates or otherwise under Applicable Law, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms of the Credit Agreement or any other Guaranteed Document shall nonetheless be payable by the Guarantor hereunder forthwith on demand by the Administrative Agent or the other Guaranteed Parties.
SECTION 10.    Notices.  All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be given in the manner prescribed in Section 13.1. of the Credit Agreement with respect to the Administrative Agent at its notice address therein and, with respect to the Guarantor, in the care of the Borrower at the address of the Borrower set forth in the Credit Agreement, or such other address or telecopy number as such party may hereafter specify for such purpose in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.1. of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 11.    No Waivers.  No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.  The rights and remedies provided in this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement and the other Guaranteed Documents shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.
SECTION 12.    Successors and Assigns.  This Guaranty is for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Guaranteed Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, (including, but not limited to, any holder of the Guaranteed Obligations) in whose favor the provisions of this Guaranty also shall inure, and each reference herein to the Guarantor shall be deemed to include the Guarantor’s successors and assigns, upon whom this Guaranty also shall be binding.  The Guaranteed Parties may, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Guaranteed Documents, assign, transfer or sell any Guaranteed Obligation, or grant or sell participations in any Guaranteed Obligations, to any Person without the consent of, or notice to, the Guarantor and without releasing, discharging or modifying the Guarantor’s 

G-9

obligations hereunder.  The Guarantor hereby consents to the delivery by the Administrative Agent and any other Guaranteed Party to any Assignee or Participant (or any prospective Assignee or Participant) of any financial or other information regarding the Borrower or the Guarantor.  The Guarantor shall not have any right to assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, and any such assignment or transfer in violation of this Section 12 shall be null and void; and in the event of an assignment of any amounts payable under the Credit Agreement or the other Guaranteed Documents in accordance with the respective terms thereof, the rights hereunder, to the extent applicable to the indebtedness so assigned, may be transferred with such indebtedness. This Guaranty shall be binding upon the Guarantor and its successors and assigns.
SECTION 13.    Changes in Writing.  Other than in connection with the addition of additional Subsidiaries, which become parties hereto by executing a Guaranty Supplement hereto in the form attached as Annex I, neither this Guaranty nor any provision hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only in writing signed by the Guarantor and the Administrative Agent, subject to Section 13.7. of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 14.    Governing Law; Jurisdiction.  
(a)    THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.
(b)    EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN THE GUARANTOR AND ANY OF THE GUARANTEED PARTIES WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES.  ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE GUARANTEED PARTIES, BY ACCEPTING THE BENEFITS HEREOF, AND EACH OF THE GUARANTORS HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY, THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, OR ANY OTHER GUARANTEED DOCUMENT OR WITH ANY COLLATERAL OR ANY LIEN OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE GUARANTOR, THE GENERAL PARTNER, THE SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE GUARANTEED DOCUMENTS.
(c)    THE GUARANTOR IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT COMMENCE ANY ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR DESCRIPTION, WHETHER IN LAW OR EQUITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR IN TORT OR OTHERWISE, AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY RELATED PARTY OF THE FOREGOING IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER GUARANTEED DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATING HERETO OR THERETO, IN ANY FORUM OTHER THAN THE COURTS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SITTING IN NEW YORK COUNTY, AND OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT OF THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK, AND ANY APPELLATE COURT FROM ANY THEREOF, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE COURT OR, TO THE FULLEST 

G-10

EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AGREES THAT A FINAL, NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. NOTHING IN THIS GUARANTY OR IN ANY OTHER GUARANTEED DOCUMENT SHALL AFFECT ANY RIGHT THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY LENDER OR ANY ISSUING BANK MAY OTHERWISE HAVE TO BRING ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER GUARANTEED DOCUMENT AGAINST THE GUARANTOR OR ITS PROPERTIES IN THE COURTS OF ANY JURISDICTION.  EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME.  THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY LENDER OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, ANY ISSUING BANK OR ANY LENDER OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.
(d)    THE GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS ISSUED THEREIN, AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS AND COMPLAINT, OR OTHER PROCESS OR PAPERS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO THE BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS FOR NOTICES PROVIDED FOR IN THE CREDIT AGREEMENT.  SHOULD THE GUARANTOR FAIL TO APPEAR OR ANSWER ANY SUMMONS, COMPLAINT, PROCESS OR PAPERS SO SERVED WITHIN THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER THE MAILING THEREOF, THE GUARANTOR SHALL BE DEEMED IN DEFAULT AND AN ORDER AND/OR JUDGMENT MAY BE ENTERED AGAINST IT AS DEMANDED OR PRAYED FOR IN SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT, PROCESS OR PAPERS.
(e)    THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER GUARANTEED DOCUMENTS, THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF ALL LETTERS OF CREDIT, THE TERMINATION OF EACH GUARANTEED DOCUMENT AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS GUARANTY.
SECTION 15.    No Strict Construction.  The parties hereto have participated jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Guaranty.  In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or interpretation arises, this Guaranty shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties hereto and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Guaranty.
SECTION 16.    Taxes; Expenses of Enforcement, Etc.  
(a)    Taxes.  All payments by the Guarantor of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other Obligations shall be paid in full, made free and clear of and without set-off or counterclaim or any deduction or withholding whatsoever (including for any Taxes).  If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Guarantor hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes or any other deduction or withholding pursuant to any Applicable Law, then the Guarantor will shall pay to the Administrative 

G-11

Agent and the Lenders such additional amount as will result in the receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders of the full amount payable hereunder had such deduction or withholding not occurred or been required.
(b)    The Guarantor agrees to reimburse the Guaranteed Parties for any reasonable costs and out-of-pocket expenses (including attorneys’ fees) paid or incurred by any Guaranteed Party in connection with the collection and enforcement of the Guaranteed Documents, including without limitation, this Guaranty.
SECTION 17.    Setoff.  In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any of the other Guaranteed Documents or Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Guarantor hereby authorizes each Guaranteed Party, each Affiliate of a Guaranteed Party and each Participant, at any time while an Event of Default exists, without any prior notice to the Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Guaranteed Party (other than the Administrative Agent), an Affiliate of a Guaranteed Party (other than the Administrative Agent) or a Participant, subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Requisite Lenders exercised in their sole discretion, to set-off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Guaranteed Party, an Affiliate of a Guaranteed Party or such Participant to or for the credit or the account of the Guarantor against and on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations, although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured.  The Guarantor agrees, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, that any Participant may exercise rights of setoff or counterclaim and other rights with respect to its participation as fully as if such Participant were a direct creditor of the Guarantor in the amount of such participation.
SECTION 18.    Financial Information.  The Guarantor hereby assumes responsibility for keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower, the General Partner, the other Loan Parties and any and all endorsers and/or other guarantors of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any part thereof, and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and the Guarantor hereby agrees that neither the Administrative Agent nor any other Guaranteed Parties shall have any duty to advise the Guarantor of information known to any of them regarding such condition or any such circumstances.  In the event the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party, in its sole discretion, undertakes at any time or from time to time to provide any such information to the Guarantor, such Guaranteed Party or the Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation (i) to undertake any investigation not a part of its regular business routine, (ii) to disclose any information which such Guaranteed Party or the Administrative Agent, pursuant to accepted or reasonable commercial finance or banking practices, wishes to maintain confidential or (iii) to make any other or future disclosures of such information or any other information to the Guarantor.
SECTION 19.    Severability.  Wherever possible, each provision of this Guaranty shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Guaranty shall be prohibited by or invalid or unenforceable under any such Applicable Law, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition, unenforceability or invalidity without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of this Guaranty.
SECTION 20.    Merger.  This Guaranty represents the final agreement of the Guarantor with respect to the matters contained herein and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior or contemporaneous agreements, or subsequent oral agreements, between the Guarantor and the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party.

SECTION 23.    Loan Accounts.  The Administrative Agent and each other Guaranteed Party may maintain books and accounts setting forth the amounts of principal, interest and other sums paid and payable with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations arising under or in connection with the Guaranteed Documents, and in the case of any dispute relating to any of the outstanding amount, payment or receipt of any of such Guaranteed Obligations or otherwise, the entries in such books and accounts shall be binding on the Guarantors absent manifest error.  The failure of the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Party to maintain such books and accounts shall not in any way relieve or discharge the Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder.

D.Each Owner has engaged Manager to serve as such Owner’s sole and exclusive manager, with the responsibility for the management, operation, maintenance, leasing and otherwise with respect to each Property owned by such Owner, pursuant to that certain Omnibus Property Management Agreement dated as of [the date hereof] by and between Borrower, on behalf of the Owners, and Manager, as the same may have been amended, supplemented, or modified, a complete copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Management Agreement”).

H.Borrower and Owners have assigned their respective interests in the Management Agreement to Administrative Agent, for its benefit and for the benefit of the other Lender Parties, pursuant to the Security Instruments, this Agreement and certain other Loan Documents;

2.    Subordination.    Manager and Assignors hereby unconditionally subordinate and subject the Management Agreement and all of their respective rights under the Management Agreement, including, without limitation, any right to receive any amounts or fees (heretofore, now or hereafter payable) as management fees, management commissions, incentive management fees, affiliate payments, termination fees, liquidated damages, reimbursements of advances made by Manager to any Assignor or any other compensation, to the liens of the Security Instruments and Administrative Agent’s and each Lender Party’s rights and all remedies under the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, Administrative Agent’s and each applicable Lender Party’s right to receive payments of principal, interest and all other sums due and owing from time to time under the Loan Documents.  Manager and Assignors agree that the rights of Administrative Agent under the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents are senior and prior to any rights of Manager and Assignors under the Management Agreement.
3.    Representations, Warranties, Acknowledges and Certifications.  Manager and Assignors hereby represent, warrant, certify and acknowledge to Administrative Agent as follows: (a) Administrative Agent would not enter into the Credit Agreement and Lenders would not make the Loans without the execution and delivery of this Agreement; (b) a true and complete copy of the Management Agreement (including, without limitation, all modifications and amendments thereto, if any) is attached to this Agreement as Exhibit B; (c) the Management Agreement represents the entire agreement between Manager and Assignors with respect to the Properties; (d) the Management Agreement is not a lease; (e) Manager has no possessory interest in any Property; (f) as of the date hereof, management fees, management commissions, incentive management fees, affiliate payments, termination fees, liquidated damages, reimbursements of advances made by Manager to the owner of any Property and all other compensation payable to Manager under the Management Agreement are being paid on a current basis; (g) Manager has no existing defenses or claims against any Assignor with respect to the Management Agreement or any payments due and owing to Manager thereunder; and (h) as of the date hereof, the Management Agreement is in full force and effect, and no event of default on the part of either party thereunder, or any event or condition that, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would constitute an event of default on the part of either party thereunder, has occurred and is continuing.
4.    Default; Lender’s Exercise of Rights.    Manager and Assignors agree that in the event of a default by any Assignor (continuing beyond any applicable grace period) under any of the Loan Documents during the term of this Agreement, Administrative Agent may take, at Assignors’ expense (which shall be reimbursed to Administrative Agent upon demand and shall constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations secured by the Security Instruments and the other Loan Documents), in Administrative Agent’s own name or in the name of any Assignor or either or both of them, such action as Administrative Agent may at any time or from time to time determine to be necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation: 
a.    exercising any of the rights of any Assignor under the Management Agreement and requiring Manager to attorn to Lender (or its designee);

N-4

b.    terminating the Management Agreement upon not less than ten (10) days prior written notice (notwithstanding anything provided for in the Management Agreement) and requiring Manager to transfer its responsibility for the management of any or all of the Properties to a management company selected by Administrative Agent in Administrative Agent ‘s sole discretion, and Manager shall have no rights or recourse against Administrative Agent on account of such termination;
c.    amending, modifying or extending the Management Agreement by agreement with Manager;
d.    curing any default under the Management Agreement; and
e.    otherwise protecting the rights of Administrative Agent hereunder and under the Management Agreement.

EACH ASSIGNOR AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS, AND AGREES TO CAUSE ANY OTHER GUARANTOR OF THE LOANS TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD HARMLESS,  ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, EACH OTHER LENDER PARTY, ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S AFFILIATES, EACH OTHER LENDER PARTY’S AFFILIATES AND ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT’S AND EACH OTHER LENDER PARTY’S RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, ADVISORS, ATTORNEYS AND REPRESENTATIVES (EACH, AN “INDEMNIFIED PARTY”) FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, LIABILITIES AND EXPENSES (EACH AN “INDEMNIFIED CLAIM”) (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, REASONABLE FEES AND DISBURSEMENTS OF COUNSEL UNLESS LENDER ASSERTS THAT A CONFLICT EXISTS, IN WHICH CASE ANY APPLICABLE INDEMNIFIED PARTY MAY RETAIN ADDITIONAL COUNSEL AS SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY DETERMINES NECESSARY TO RESOLVE SUCH CONFLICT AND ALL REASONABLE FEES AND EXPENSES OF SUCH COUNSEL SHALL CONSTITUTE AN INDEMNIFIED CLAIM HEREUNDER), JOINT OR SEVERAL, THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY OR ASSERTED OR AWARDED AGAINST ANY INDEMNIFIED PARTY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING TO ANY INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING OR THE PREPARATION OF ANY DEFENSE IN CONNECTION THEREWITH), IN EACH CASE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SUCH CLAIM, DAMAGE, LOSS, LIABILITY, OR EXPENSE IS FOUND IN A FINAL NON-APPEALABLE JUDGMENT BY A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF SUCH INDEMNIFIED PARTY.  IN THE CASE OF AN INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING TO WHICH THE INDEMNITY IN THIS PARAGRAPH APPLIES, SUCH INDEMNITY SHALL BE EFFECTIVE WHETHER OR NOT SUCH INVESTIGATION, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING IS BROUGHT BY ANY ASSIGNOR OR ANY OTHER GUARANTOR OF THE LOANS, ANY 

N-5

OF THE DIRECTORS, SECURITY HOLDERS OR CREDITORS OF ANY SUCH ASSIGNOR OR ANY OTHER SUCH GUARANTOR, AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON, AND WHETHER OR NOT AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY IS OTHERWISE A PARTY THERETO.  THIS INDEMNITY WILL SURVIVE REPAYMENT OF THE LOANS.
5.    Attornment; Right to Terminate.        If Administrative Agent or any designee or affiliate of Administrative Agent shall acquire possession of any Property through judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure or otherwise, Administrative Agent or such designee or affiliate shall have the right to cause Manager to continue its management of such Property by assuming the obligations of Assignors under the Management Agreement with respect to such Property, but (a) without any liability for any act or omission of any Assignor prior to the date of acquisition, (b) without being subject to any offsets or advances which Manager may have had against any such Assignor, and (c) without being bound by any agreement or modification of the Management Agreement entered into without Administrative Agent’s prior written consent.  If Administrative Agent or any designee or affiliate of Administrative Agent explicitly assumes the obligations of any Assignor under the Management Agreement in writing pursuant to this Section, and if Administrative Agent or such designee or affiliate shall thereafter desire to sell any such Property to a third party, then Administrative Agent shall either (i) cause such third party to assume the obligations of the applicable Assignor under the Management Agreement with respect to such Property or (ii) terminate the Management Agreement as to such Property by written notice to Manager without further obligation thereunder.  If a third party shall acquire title to any Property as a purchaser at a foreclosure sale or otherwise in connection with the exercise of any remedies of Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, then such third party, immediately upon acquiring title to such Property, shall have the right to cause Manager to continue its management of such Property by assuming the obligations of the applicable Assignor under the Management Agreement with respect to such Property, but subject to the conditions set forth in clauses (a) through (c) of this Section.  Following any assumption by Administrative Agent or any designee or affiliate of Administrative Agent or any such third party, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Section, of the obligations of any Assignor under the Management Agreement, Manager shall recognize such person or entity as the applicable Assignor under the Management Agreement with respect to such Property.  Upon any termination or expiration of the Management Agreement, the Manager shall reasonably cooperate with and assist Administrative Agent (or its designee or successor) to effect the transfer to Administrative Agent (or its designee or successor) of any and all licenses, permits, governmental authorizations, keys, combinations, statements, books & records, insurance policies, documents and/or agreements required for the operation of any applicable Property.
6.    Liability of Administrative Agent.    Manager agrees that Administrative Agent and its successors and assigns shall not have any liability under the Management Agreement until such time, if any, as Administrative Agent or such successor or assign, as applicable, shall have explicitly assumed the obligations of any applicable Assignor under the Management Agreement in writing and elected to cause Manager to continue its management of the applicable Property.  In any event, Manager shall look only to the estate and property of Administrative Agent or its successors or assigns in such Property for the satisfaction of Manager’s remedies for the collection of a judgment (or other judicial process) requiring the payment of money in the event of any default by Administrative Agent or its successors or assigns under the Management Agreement, and no other property or assets of Lender (or its successors or assigns) shall be subject to levy, execution 

N-6

or other enforcement procedure for the satisfaction of Manager’s remedies under or with respect to the Management Agreement or the relationship of the parties thereunder.  If Administrative Agent or a successor or assign explicitly assumes the obligations of any Assignor with respect to any Property under the Management Agreement in writing or acquires actual physical possession of such Property, Manager may resign upon not less than sixty (60) days notice to Lender or such successor or assign, as applicable.
7.    Indemnification.  Each Assignor and Manager each agrees to indemnify Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties and defend and hold Administrative Agent and the other Lender Parties harmless from and against any and all liabilities, claims, demands, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorney’s fees) which Administrative Agent or any Lender Party may incur under the Management Agreement or this Agreement and from any alleged or actual obligation or undertaking on its part to perform or discharge any of the terms, covenants or agreements contained in the Management Agreement.  This indemnification will not apply to actions taken by Administrative Agent or any Lender Party subsequent to Administrative Agent’s acquisition of title by foreclosure.  This provision shall survive any termination of the Management Agreement and any foreclosure.
8.    Notices.  All notices and other communications under this Agreement will be made in writing and given in accordance with this Section 8.  All notices, demands, or other communications under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered to the appropriate party at the address provided below (subject to change from time to time by written notice to all other parties to this Agreement).  All notices, demands or other communications shall be considered as properly given if delivered personally or sent by first class United States Postal Service mail, postage prepaid, except that notice of Default may be sent by certified mail, return receipt requested, or by Overnight Express Mail or by overnight commercial courier service, charges prepaid.  Notices so sent shall be effective three (3) days after mailing, if mailed by first class mail, and otherwise upon receipt; provided, however, that non-receipt of any communication as the result of any change of address of which the sending party was not notified or as the result of a refusal to accept delivery shall be deemed receipt of such communication.  Each party may establish a new address from time to time by written notice to the other given in accordance with this Section 6; provided, however, that no change of address will be effective until written notice thereof actually is received by the party to whom such change of address is sent.
