DEFINITIONS

          SECTION 1.1. Definitions. The following terms, as used herein, have the following
meanings:

          “Adjusted EBITDA” means EBITDA for such period minus an amount equal to appropriate
reserves for replacements of Ten Cents ($0.10) (or in the case of any Real Property Asset owned by
an Investment Affiliate or by a Consolidated Subsidiary, Borrower’s Share of Ten Cents ($0.10)) per
square foot per annum for each Real Property Asset (provided that, as to any Real Property Asset
acquired during such period such Ten Cents ($0.10) per square foot adjustment shall be pro-rated
for the period of ownership). Adjusted EBITDA includes rental income actually earned and shall
exclude the application of FAS 141, and non-cash expenses related to employee and trustee stock and
stock options.

          “Adjusted Interbank Offered Rate” as applicable to any Interest Period means a rate per annum
equal to the quotient obtained (rounded upward, if necessary, to the next higher 1/100 of 1%) by
dividing (i) the Interbank Offered Rate applicable during such Interest Period by (ii) 1.00 minus
the Euro-Dollar Reserve Percentage.

          “Administrative Agent” shall mean (i) with respect to Notices of Borrowing and the
administration of Loans denominated in Euros, and interest and fee payments with respect to Loans
denominated in Euros, J.P. Morgan Europe Limited; (ii) with respect to Notices of Borrowing and the
administration of Loans denominated in Yen, and interest and fee payments with respect to Loans
denominated in Yen, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, and (iii) for all other purposes under
this Agreement, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., in each case in its respective capacity as
Administrative Agent hereunder, and its respective permitted successors in such capacity in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

 

          “Administrative Questionnaire” means with respect to each Bank, an administrative
questionnaire in the form prepared by the Administrative Agent and submitted to the Administrative
Agent (with a copy to the Borrower) duly completed by such Bank.

          “Affiliate”, as applied to any Person, means any other Person that directly or indirectly
controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, that Person. For purposes of this
definition, “control” (including, with correlative meanings, the terms “controlling”, “controlled
by” and “under common control with”), as applied to any Person, means the possession, directly or
indirectly, of the power to vote ten percent (10.0%) or more of the equity Securities having voting
power for the election of directors of such Person or otherwise to direct or cause the direction of
the management and policies of that Person, whether through the ownership of voting equity
Securities or by contract or otherwise.

          “Agents” shall mean the Administrative Agent and the Syndication Agent, collectively.

          “Agreement” shall mean this Credit Agreement as the same may from time to time hereafter be
modified, supplemented or amended.

          “Applicable Interest Rate” means (i) with respect to any Fixed Rate Indebtedness, the fixed

respect to any Floating Rate Indebtedness, either (x) the rate at which the interest rate
applicable to such Floating Rate Indebtedness is actually capped (or fixed pursuant to an interest
rate hedging device), at the time of calculation, if Borrower has entered into an interest rate cap
agreement or other interest rate hedging device with respect thereto or (y) if Borrower has not
entered into an interest rate cap agreement or other interest rate hedging device with respect to
such Floating Rate Indebtedness, the greater of (A) the rate at which the interest rate applicable
to such Floating Rate Indebtedness could be fixed for the remaining term of such Floating Rate
Indebtedness, at the time of calculation, by Borrower’s entering into any unsecured interest rate
hedging device either not requiring an upfront payment or if requiring an upfront payment, such
upfront payment shall be amortized over the term of such device and included in the calculation of
the interest rate (or, if such rate is incapable of being fixed by entering into an unsecured
interest rate hedging device at the time of calculation, a fixed rate equivalent reasonably
determined by Administrative Agent) or (B) the floating rate applicable to such Floating Rate
Indebtedness at the time in question.

          “Applicable Lending Office” means with respect to any Bank, (i) in the case of its Base Rate
Loans, its Domestic Lending Office, and (ii) in the case of its Euro-Dollar Loans, its Euro-Dollar
Lending Office.

          “Applicable Margin” means with respect to each Loan, the respective percentages per annum
determined, at any time, based on the range into which Borrower’s Credit Rating then falls, in
accordance with the table set forth below. Any change in Borrower’s Credit Rating causing it to
move to a different range on the table shall effect an immediate change in the

2

 

Applicable Margin. Borrower shall have not less than two (2) Credit Ratings at all times. In
the event that Borrower receives only two (2) Credit Ratings (one of which must be from S&P or
Moody’s), and such Credit Ratings are not equivalent, the Applicable Margin shall be determined by
the higher of such two (2) Credit Ratings. In the event that Borrower receives more than two (2)
Credit Ratings, and such Credit Ratings are not all equivalent, the Applicable Margin shall be
determined by the highest Credit Rating, provided that said highest rating shall be from S&P or
Moody’s; provided, further, that if the highest rating is not from S&P or Moody’s, then the
Applicable Margin shall be determined by the highest Credit Rating from either S&P or Moody’s.

Partner, the Balance Sheet Indebtedness of any Consolidated Subsidiary. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Balance Sheet Indebtedness shall include current liabilities and all guarantees of
Indebtedness of any Person.

          “Balloon Payments” shall mean with respect to any loan constituting Balance Sheet
Indebtedness, any required principal payment of such loan which is either (i) payable at the
maturity of such Indebtedness or (ii) in an amount which exceeds fifteen percent (15%) of the

Fiscal Quarters, the Interest Expense paid, accrued or capitalized on Unsecured Debt, provided,
however, in the case of any Preferred Stock Subsidiary, Joint Venture Subsidiary or Consolidated
Subsidiary only an amount equal to the Borrower’s Share of any such Interest Expense on Unsecured
Debt of such entity shall be included in Unsecured Interest Expense.

          “Unused Commitments” means an amount equal to all unadvanced funds (other than unadvanced
funds in connection with any construction loan) which any third party is obligated to advance to
Borrower or another Person or otherwise pursuant to any loan document, written instrument or
otherwise.

          “Yen Bank” has the meaning set forth in Section 9.22.

          SECTION 1.2. Accounting Terms and Determinations. Unless otherwise specified herein, all
accounting terms used herein shall be interpreted, all accounting determinations hereunder shall be
made, and all financial statements required to be delivered hereunder shall be prepared in
accordance with GAAP applied on a basis consistent (except for changes concurred in by the
Borrower’s independent public accountants) with the most recent audited consolidated financial
statements of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries delivered to the Administrative Agent;
provided that for purposes of references to the financial results and information of “General
Partner, on a consolidated basis,” General Partner shall be deemed to own one hundred percent
(100%) of the partnership interests in Borrower; and provided further that, if the Borrower
notifies the Administrative Agent that the Borrower wishes

25

 

to amend
any covenant in Article V to eliminate the effect of any change in GAAP on the operation of such
covenant (or if the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the Majority Banks wish to
amend Article V for such purpose), then the Borrower’s compliance with such covenant shall be
determined on the basis of GAAP in effect immediately before the relevant change in GAAP became
effective, until either such notice is withdrawn or such covenant is amended in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to the Borrower and the Majority Banks.

          SECTION 1.3. Types of Borrowings. The term “Borrowing” denotes the aggregation of Loans of
one or more Banks to be made to the Borrower pursuant to Article 2 on the same date, all of which
Loans are of the same type (subject to Article 8) and, except in the case of Base Rate Loans, have
the same initial Interest Period. Borrowings are classified for purposes of this Agreement either
by reference to the pricing of Loans comprising such Borrowing (e.g., a “Fixed Rate Borrowing” is a
Euro-Dollar Borrowing; and a “Euro-Dollar Borrowing” is a Borrowing comprised of Euro-Dollar Loans;
and an “Alternate Currency Borrowing” is a Borrowing comprised of Euro-Dollar Loans or TIBOR Loans
denominated in an Alternate Currency).

ARTICLE II

THE CREDITS

          SECTION 2.1. Commitments to Lend. Each Bank severally agrees, on the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement, to make Loans in Dollars or Alternate Currency, as applicable, to the
Borrower and the Initial Qualified Borrowers, as applicable, pursuant to this Article on the
Effective Date in an amount equal to its Commitment (except that it is understood and agreed that
Loans in Alternate Currencies may be funded on the following Business Day). The initial Borrowing
shall be made on the Effective Date and shall be made from the several Banks ratably in proportion
to their respective Commitments, except that the Alternate Currency Loans shall be funded by each
Bank as indicated on the signature pages hereto. Subject to the provisions of Section 9.19 hereof,
in no event shall the aggregate amount of Loans in Dollars outstanding at any time, exceed
$345,000,000 (as adjusted pursuant to Section 9.19, the “Facility Amount”) less the Dollar
Equivalent Amount of any Loans denominated in Alternate Currencies as of the date that the amount
in Euros and/or Yen of such Loans was determined by the Administrative Agent. For the avoidance of
doubt, Loans denominated in Alternate Currencies shall not be marked to market and accordingly, the
Dollar Equivalent Amount of such Loans from time to time may cause the Dollar Equivalent Amount of
all Loans to exceed the Facility Amount.. In the event that the Facility Amount shall be increased
pursuant to Section 9.19, each Borrowing thereafter shall be in an aggregate principal amount of
$5,000,000, or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (except that any such Borrowing
may be in the aggregate amount of the Commitments then available to be borrowed). Any amounts
repaid may not be reborrowed.

          SECTION 2.2. Notice of Borrowing. With respect to any Borrowing, the Borrower shall give
Administrative Agent notice not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City or
London time, as applicable) (x) the Business Day prior to each Base Rate Borrowing, or (y) the
third (3rd) Euro-Dollar Business Day before each Euro-Dollar Borrowing denominated in
Dollars,

26

 

or (z) the fourth (4th) Euro-Dollar Business Day before each Euro-Dollar
Borrowing or TIBOR Borrowing denominated in an Alternate Currency, specifying:

               (i) the date of such Borrowing, which shall be a Business Day in the case of a
Base Rate Borrowing or a Euro-Dollar Business Day in the case of a Euro-Dollar
Borrowing,

               (ii) the aggregate amount of such Borrowing,

               (iii) whether the Loans comprising such Borrowing are to be Base Rate Loans or
Euro-Dollar Loans or TIBOR Loans, and, if Euro-Dollar Loans are being requested
other than in Dollars, the type and amount of the Alternate Currency being
requested,

               (iv) in the case of a Euro-Dollar Borrowing or TIBOR Borrowing, the duration of
the Interest Period applicable thereto, subject to the provisions of the definition
of Interest Period,

               (v) if such Borrowing is to be made by a Qualified Borrower, the identity of
the Qualified Borrower,

               (vi) payment instructions for delivery of such Borrowing; and

               (vii) certify that no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is
continuing.

          SECTION
2.3. Intentionally Omitted.

          SECTION
2.4. Intentionally Omitted.

          SECTION
2.5. Notice to Banks; Funding of Loans.

               (a) Upon receipt of a Notice of Borrowing from Borrower in accordance with Section 2.2 hereof,
the Administrative Agent shall, on the date such Notice of Borrowing is received by the
Administrative Agent, notify each applicable Bank of the contents thereof and of such Bank’s share
of such Borrowing, of the interest rate determined pursuant thereto and the Interest Period(s) (if
different from those requested by the Borrower) and such Notice of Borrowing shall not thereafter
be revocable by the Borrower, unless Borrower shall pay any applicable expenses pursuant to Section
2.14.

               (b) Not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time or, in the case of any Alternate Currency
Borrowing, local time to the principal financial center of the Alternate Currency in question) on
the date of each Borrowing as indicated in the applicable Notice of Borrowing, each Bank shall
(except as provided in subsection (d) of this Section) make available its share of such Borrowing
in Federal funds or the applicable Alternate Currency immediately
available in New York, New York(or, in the case of any Alternate Currency Borrowing, the
principal financial center of the Alternate Currency in question), to the applicable Administrative

27

 

Agent at its address referred to in Section 9.1. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, with
respect to the initial Borrowing hereunder, such amounts shall be funded into an escrow account
with the Administrative Agent, in accordance with the procedures established by the Administrative
Agent.

               (c) Intentionally Omitted.

               (d) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to the date
of any Borrowing that such Bank will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s
share of such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Bank has made such share
available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with this Section
2.5 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such assumption, but shall not be obligated
to, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount on behalf of such Bank. If
and to the extent that such Bank shall not have so made such share available to the Administrative
Agent, such Bank agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding
amount together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to
the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid to the Administrative Agent, at the rate of
interest applicable to such Borrowing hereunder. If such Bank shall repay to the Administrative
Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall constitute such Bank’s Loan included
in such Borrowing for purposes of this Agreement. If such Bank shall not pay to Administrative
Agent such corresponding amount after reasonable attempts are made by Administrative Agent to
collect such amounts from such Bank, Borrower agrees to repay, or cause the applicable Qualified
Borrower to repay, to Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amounts together
with interest thereto, for each day from the date such amount is made available to Borrower or such
Qualified Borrower, as the case may be, until the date such amount is repaid to Administrative
Agent, at the interest rate applicable thereto one (1) Business Day after demand. Nothing
contained in this Section 2.5(d) shall be deemed to reduce the Commitment of any Bank or in any way
affect the rights of Borrower with respect to any defaulting Bank or Administrative Agent. The
failure of any Bank to make available to the Administrative Agent such Bank’s share of any
Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.5(b) hereof shall not relieve any other Bank of its
obligations to fund its Commitment, in accordance with the provisions hereof.

               (e) Subject to the provisions hereof, the Administrative Agent shall make available each
Borrowing to Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower in Federal funds or the applicable
Alternate Currency immediately available in accordance with, and on the date set forth in, the
applicable Notice of Borrowing.

          SECTION 2.6. Notes.

               (a) The Loans of each Bank shall be evidenced by a single Note made by each Borrower
(including any Qualified Borrower) payable to the order of such Bank for the account of its
Applicable Lending Office.

               (b) Each Bank may, by notice to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, request that its
Loans of a particular type be evidenced by a separate Note in an amount

28

 

equal to the aggregate
unpaid principal amount of such Loans. Any additional costs incurred by the Administrative Agent,
the Borrower or the Banks in connection with preparing such a Note shall be at the sole cost and
expense of the Bank requesting such Note. In the event any Loans evidenced by such a Note are paid
in full prior to the Maturity Date, any such Bank shall return such Note to Borrower. Each such
Note shall be in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto with appropriate modifications to
reflect the fact that it evidences solely Loans of the relevant type. Upon the execution and
delivery of any such Note, any existing Note payable to such Bank shall be replaced or modified
accordingly. Each reference in this Agreement to the “Note” of such Bank shall be deemed to refer
to and include any or all of such Notes, as the context may require.

               (c) Upon receipt of each Bank’s Note pursuant to Section 3.1(a), the Administrative Agent
shall forward such Note to such Bank. Each Bank shall record the date, amount, type and maturity
of each Loan made by it and the date and amount of each payment of principal made by the Borrower
or Qualified Borrower, as the case may be, with respect thereto, and may, if such Bank so elects in
connection with any transfer or enforcement of its Note, endorse on the appropriate schedule
appropriate notations to evidence the foregoing information with respect to each such Loan then
outstanding; provided that the failure of any Bank to make any such recordation or endorsement
shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower or applicable Qualified Borrower hereunder or
under the Notes. Each Bank is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Borrower and each Qualified
Borrower so to endorse its Note and to attach to and make a part of its Note a continuation of any
such schedule as and when required.

               (d) The Loans shall mature, and the principal amount thereof shall be due and payable, on the
Maturity Date.

               (e) There shall be no more than five (5) Euro-Dollar and TIBOR Groups of Loans outstanding at
any one time.

          SECTION 2.7. Method of Electing Interest Rates.

               (a) The Loans included in each Borrowing shall bear interest initially at the type of rate
specified by the Borrower or Qualified Borrower, as the case may be, in the applicable Notice of
Borrowing. Thereafter, the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower (or the Borrower on
behalf of the Qualified Borrower) may from time to time elect to change or continue the type of
interest rate borne by each Group of Loans (subject in each case to the provisions of Article
VIII), as follows:

               (i) if such Loans are Base Rate Loans, the Borrower may elect to convert all or
any portion of such Loans to Euro-Dollar or TIBOR Loans as of any Euro-Dollar
Business Day;

               (ii) if such Loans are Euro-Dollar or TIBOR Loans, the Borrower or the
applicable Qualified Borrower (or the Borrower on behalf of the Qualified Borrower)
may elect to convert all or any portion of such Loans to Base
Rate Loans (but only if such Loans are Dollar denominated) and/or elect to
continue all or any portion of such Loans as Euro-Dollar or TIBOR Loans for an

29

 

additional Interest Period or additional Interest Periods, in each case effective on
the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable to such Loans, or on
such other date designated by Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower (or the
Borrower on behalf of the applicable Qualified Borrower) in the Notice of Interest
Rate Election provided Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower (or the
Borrower on behalf of the applicable Qualified Borrower) shall pay any losses
pursuant to Section 2.14.

Each such election shall be made by delivering a notice (a “Notice of Interest Rate
Election”) to the Administrative Agent at least three (3) Euro-Dollar Business Days (no later
than 11:00 am London time in the case of Euro-denominated Loans) prior to, but excluding, the
effective date of the conversion or continuation selected in such notice. A Notice of Interest
Rate Election may, if it so specifies, apply to only a portion of the aggregate principal amount of
the relevant Group of Loans; provided that (i) such portion is allocated ratably among the Loans
comprising such Group, (ii) the portion to which such Notice applies, and the remaining portion to
which it does not apply, are each in the amount of $5,000,000 (or, with respect to Loans
denominated in an Alternate Currency only, the Dollar Equivalent Amount of $3,000,000) or any
larger multiple of $1,000,000, (iii) there shall be no more than five (5) Euro-Dollar and TIBOR
Groups of Loans outstanding at any time, (iv) no Loan may be continued as, or converted into, a
Euro-Dollar Loan when any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and (v) no Interest
Period shall extend beyond the Maturity Date.

               (b) Each Notice of Interest Rate Election shall specify:

               (i) the Group of Loans (or portion thereof) to which such notice applies;

               (ii) the date on which the conversion or continuation selected in such notice
is to be effective, which shall comply with the applicable clause of subsection (a)
above;

               (iii) if the Loans comprising such Group are to be converted, the new type of
Loans and, if such new Loans are Euro-Dollar or TIBOR Loans, the duration of the
initial Interest Period applicable thereto; and

               (iv) if such Loans are to be continued as Euro-Dollar or TIBOR Loans for an
additional Interest Period, the duration of such additional Interest Period.

Each Interest Period specified in a Notice of Interest Rate Election shall comply with the
provisions of the definition of Interest Period.

               (c) Upon receipt of a Notice of Interest Rate Election from the Borrower or Qualified Borrower
pursuant to subsection (a) above, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Bank the same day as
it receives such Notice of Interest Rate Election of the contents thereof, the interest rates
determined pursuant thereto and the Interest Periods (if
different from those requested by the Borrower or Qualified Borrower) and such notice shall
not thereafter be revocable by the Borrower or Qualified Borrower. If the Borrower or Qualified

30

 

Borrower fails to deliver a timely Notice of Interest Rate Election to the Administrative Agent for
any Group of Euro-Dollar Loans, such Loans in Dollars shall be converted into Base Rate Loans and
such Loans denominated in an Alternate Currency shall continue as Euro-Dollar or TIBOR Loans, as
applicable, with a one (1) month Interest Period.

          SECTION 2.8. Interest Rates.

               (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof, for
each day from the date such Loan is made until the date it is repaid or converted into a
Euro-Dollar Loan pursuant to Section 2.7, at a rate per annum equal to sum of the Base Rate plus
the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans for such day.

               (b) Each Euro-Dollar or TIBOR Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount
thereof, for each day during the Interest Period applicable thereto, at a rate per annum equal to
the sum of the Applicable Margin for Euro-Dollar or TIBOR Loans for such day plus the Adjusted
Interbank Offered Rate or, for any TIBOR Loan, TIBOR, applicable to such Interest Period.

               (c) Intentionally Omitted.

               (d) In the event that, and for so long as, any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the outstanding principal amount of the Loans, and, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, overdue interest in respect of all Loans, shall bear interest at the annual rate
equal to the sum of the Base Rate and two percent (2%) (the “Default Rate”).

               (e) The Administrative Agent shall determine each interest rate applicable to the Loans
hereunder. The Administrative Agent shall give prompt notice to the Borrower and the Banks of each
rate of interest so determined, and its determination thereof shall be conclusive in the absence of
demonstrable error.

               (f) Intentionally Omitted.

               (g) Interest on all Loans bearing interest at the Base Rate shall be payable on the first
Business Day of each calendar month. Interest on all Loans bearing interest based on the Interbank
Offered Rate or TIBOR shall be payable on the last Euro-Dollar Business Day of the applicable
Interest Period, but no less frequently than every three months determined on the basis of the
first (1st) day of the Interest Period applicable to the Loan in question.

          SECTION 2.9. Fees.

               (a) Fees Non-Refundable. All fees set forth in this Agreement shall be deemed to have
been earned on the date payment is due in accordance with the provisions hereof and shall be
non-refundable. The obligation of the Borrower to pay such fees in accordance with the provisions
hereof shall be binding upon the Borrower and shall inure to the benefit of the Administrative
Agent and the Banks regardless of whether any Loans are actually made.

          SECTION 2.10. Maturity Date. The term (the “Term”) of the Commitments (and each Bank’s
obligations to make Loans) shall terminate and expire on the Maturity Date.

31

 

Upon the date of the
termination of the Term, any Loans then outstanding (together with accrued interest thereon and all
other Obligations) shall be due and payable on such date.

          SECTION 2.11. Optional Prepayments.

               (a) The Borrower may, upon at least one (1) Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent,
prepay any Group of Base Rate Loans bearing interest at the Base Rate pursuant to Section 8.1, in
whole at any time, or from time to time in part in amounts aggregating One Million Dollars
($1,000,000) or more, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest
thereon to the date of prepayment. Each such optional prepayment shall be applied to prepay
ratably the Loans of the several Banks included in such Group or Borrowing.

               (b) The Borrower may, upon at least three (3) Euro-Dollar Business Days’ notice to the
Administrative Agent, pay all or any portion of any Euro-Dollar Loan as of the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto. The Borrower may, upon at least five (5) Euro-Dollar Business
Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, pay all or any portion of any TIBOR Loan as of the last
day of the Interest Period applicable thereto. Except as provided in Article 8 and except with
respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan which has been converted to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section
2.19, 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 hereof, the Borrower may not prepay all or any portion of the principal
amount of any Euro-Dollar or TIBOR Loan prior to the end of the Interest Period applicable thereto
unless the Borrower shall also pay any applicable expenses pursuant to Section 2.14. Any such
prepayment shall be given on or prior to the third (3rd) Euro-Dollar Business Day prior
to, but excluding, the date of prepayment to the Administrative Agent. Each such optional
prepayment shall be in the amounts set forth in Section 2.11(a) above and shall be applied to
prepay ratably the Loans of the Banks included in any Group of Euro-Dollar Loans or Group of TIBOR
Loans, except that any Euro-Dollar Loan which has been converted to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to
Section 2.19, 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 hereof may be prepaid without ratable payment of the other Loans in
such Group of Loans which have not been so converted.

               (c) The Borrower may at any time and from time to time cancel all or any part of the
Commitments by the delivery to the Administrative Agent of a notice of cancellation within the
applicable time periods set forth in Sections 2.11(a) and (b) if there are Loans then outstanding
or, if there are no Loans outstanding at such time as to which the Commitments with respect thereto
are being canceled, upon at least three (3) Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent,
whereupon, in either event, all or such portion of the Commitments, as applicable, shall terminate
as to the applicable Banks, pro rata on the date set forth in such notice of cancellation, and, if
there are any Loans then outstanding, Borrower shall prepay, as applicable, all or such portion of
Loans outstanding on such date in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.11(a) and (b).

               (d) Any amounts so prepaid pursuant to Section 2.11 (a) or (b) may not be reborrowed. In the
event Borrower elects to cancel all or any portion of the Commitments pursuant to Section 2.11(c)
hereof, such amounts may not be reborrowed.

          SECTION
2.12. Intentionally Omitted.

32

 

          SECTION
2.13. General Provisions as to Payments.

               (a) The Borrower or Qualified Borrower, as the case may be, shall make each payment of the
principal of and interest on the Loans and fees hereunder, by initiating a wire transfer not later
than 1:00 P.M. (New York City or local time to the principal financial center of the Alternate
Currency in question, as applicable) on the date when due, of Federal or other funds immediately
available in New York, New York or, in the case of any Alternate Currency, the principal financial
center of the Alternate Currency in question, to the Administrative Agent at its address referred
to in Section 9.1, and the Borrower shall deliver a federal reference number evidencing such wire
to Administrative Agent as soon as possible thereafter on the date when due. The Administrative
Agent will promptly (and in any event within one (1) Business Day after receipt thereof distribute
to each Bank its ratable share of each such payment received by the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Banks. If and to the extent that the Administrative Agent shall receive any such
payment for the account of the Banks on or before 11:00 A.M. (New York City or local time to the
principal financial center of the Alternate Currency in question, as applicable) on any Business
Day (or Euro-Dollar Business Day, as applicable), and Administrative Agent shall not have
distributed to any Bank its applicable share of such payment on such day, Administrative Agent
shall distribute such amount to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from the
date such amount should have been distributed to such Bank until the date Administrative Agent
distributes such amount to such Bank, at the Federal Funds Rate. Whenever any payment of principal
of, or interest on the Base Rate Loans or of fees shall be due on a day which is not a Business
Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever
any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Euro-Dollar Loans shall be due on a day which is
not a Euro-Dollar Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next
succeeding Euro-Dollar Business Day unless such Euro-Dollar Business Day falls in another calendar
month, in which case the date for payment thereof shall be the next preceding Euro-Dollar Business
Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise,
interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time.

               (b) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower or Qualified
Borrower, as the case may be, prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks hereunder
that the Borrower or Qualified Borrower, as the case may be, will not make such payment in full,
the Administrative Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the
Administrative Agent on such date and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such
assumption, cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date an amount equal to the amount
then due such Bank. If and to the extent that the Borrower or Qualified Borrower, as the case may
be, shall not have so made such payment, each Bank shall repay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Bank together with interest thereon, for each
day from the date such amount is distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such
amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate.

           SECTION 2.14. Funding Losses. If the Borrower or Qualified Borrower, as the case may be,
makes any payment of principal with respect to any Euro-Dollar or TIBOR Loan
(pursuant to Article II, VI or VIII or otherwise) on any day other than the last day of the
Interest Period applicable thereto, or if the Borrower or Qualified Borrower, as the case may be,
fails to

33

 

borrow any Euro-Dollar or TIBOR Loans after notice has been given to any Bank in
accordance with Section 2.5(a) or 2.4(f), as applicable, or if Borrower or Qualified Borrower, as
the case may be, shall deliver a Notice of Interest Rate Election specifying that a Euro-Dollar or
TIBOR Loan shall be converted on a date other than the first (1st) day of the then current Interest
Period applicable thereto, the Borrower shall reimburse each Bank within 15 days after
certification of such Bank of such loss or expense (which shall be delivered by each such Bank to
Administrative Agent for delivery to Borrower) for any resulting loss or expense incurred by it (or
by an existing Participant in the related Loan), including, without limitation, any loss incurred
in obtaining, liquidating or employing deposits from third parties, but excluding loss of margin
for the period after any such payment or failure to borrow, provided that such Bank shall have
delivered to Administrative Agent and Administrative Agent shall have delivered to the Borrower a
certification as to the amount of such loss or expense, which certification shall set forth in
reasonable detail the basis for and calculation of such loss or expense and shall be conclusive in
the absence of demonstrable error.

          SECTION 2.15. Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest based on the Prime Rate hereunder
shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 days (or, in the case of interest based on the
Prime Rate only, 366 days in a leap year) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including
the first day but excluding the last day). All other interest and fees shall be computed on the
basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day
but excluding the last day).

          SECTION 2.16. Use of Proceeds. The Borrower shall use the proceeds of the Loans for
general corporate purposes, including, without limitation, the repayment of the Existing Credit
Agreement and for general working capital needs of the Borrower.

          SECTION 2.17. Special Provisions Regarding Alternate Currency Loans.

               (a) Upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event, automatically (and without the taking of any
action) (x) all then outstanding Euro-Dollar Loans denominated in an Alternate Currency shall be
automatically converted into Base Rate Loans denominated in Dollars (in an amount equal to the
Dollar Equivalent Amount of the aggregate principal amount of the applicable Euro-Dollar Loans on
the date such Sharing Event first occurred, which Loans denominated in Dollars (i) shall thereafter
continue to be deemed to be Base Rate Loans and (ii) unless the Sharing Event resulted solely from
a termination of the Commitments, shall be immediately due and payable on the date such Sharing
Event has occurred) and (y) unless the Sharing Event resulted solely from a termination of the
Commitments, all accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts owing with respect to such Loans
shall be immediately due and payable in Dollars, taking the Dollar Equivalent Amount of such
accrued and unpaid interest and other amounts.

               (b) Upon the occurrence of a Sharing Event all amounts from time to time accruing with respect
to, and all amounts from time to time payable on account of, any outstanding Euro-Dollar Loans
initially denominated in an Alternate Currency (including, without limitation, any interest and
other amounts which were accrued but unpaid on the date of
such purchase) shall be payable in Dollars as if such Euro-Dollar Loans had originally been
made in Dollars.

34

 

          SECTION 2.18. Addition of Qualified Borrowers; Release of Qualified Borrowers.

               (a) If after the Closing Date, Borrower desires to cause another Subsidiary which otherwise

the Loan Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary action, if any, to authorize

by the Borrower or such Qualified Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party. The
Borrower, each Qualified Borrower and General Partner each have duly executed and delivered each
Loan Document to which it is a party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and each such
Loan Document constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower, such Qualified
Borrower and General Partner, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability
may be limited by applicable insolvency, bankruptcy or other laws affecting creditors rights
generally, or general principles of equity, whether such enforceability is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at

38

 

power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the terms and
provisions of each of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and has taken all necessary action
to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of such Loan Documents. General Partner has

          SECTION 4.3. No Violation. (a) Neither the execution, delivery or performance by or on
behalf of the Borrower of the Loan Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance by the Borrower

regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (ii)
will materially conflict with or result in any breach of, any of the terms, covenants, conditions

or other agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower (or of any partnership of which the
Borrower is a partner) or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of
its property or assets is bound or to which it is subject (except for such breaches and defaults
under loan agreements which the lenders thereunder have agreed to forbear pursuant to valid
forbearance agreements), or (iii) will cause a material default by the Borrower under any
organizational document of any Person in which the Borrower has an interest, or cause a material
default under the Borrower’s agreement or certificate of limited partnership, the consequences of
which conflict, breach or default would have a Material Adverse Effect, or result in or require the
creation or imposition of any Lien whatsoever upon any Property (except as contemplated herein).

               (b) Neither the execution, delivery or performance by General Partner of the Loan Documents to
which it is a party, nor compliance by General Partner with the terms and provisions thereof nor

partner) or any of its Consolidated Subsidiaries is a party or by which it or any of its property
or assets is bound or to which it is subject (except for such breaches and defaults under loan
agreements which the lenders thereunder have agreed to forbear pursuant to valid forbearance
agreements), or (iii) will cause a material default by General Partner under any organizational

creation or imposition of any Lien whatsoever upon any Property (except as contemplated herein).

               (c) Neither the execution, delivery or performance by any Qualified Borrower of the Loan
Documents to which it is a party, nor compliance by such Qualified Borrower with the terms and

contemplated by such Loan Documents,
(i) will materially contravene any applicable provision of any law, statute, rule, regulation,
order, writ, injunction or decree of any court or governmental instrumentality, (ii) will
materially conflict with or result in any breach of, any of the terms, covenants, conditions or

Borrower is a partner) is a party or by which it or any of its property or assets is bound or to
which it is subject (except for such breaches and defaults under loan agreements which the lenders
thereunder have agreed to forbear pursuant to valid forbearance agreements), or (iii) will cause a
material default by such Qualified Borrower under any organizational document of any Person in
which such Qualified Borrower has an interest, the consequences of which conflict, breach or
default would have a Material Adverse Effect, or result in or require the creation or imposition of
any Lien whatsoever upon any Property (except as contemplated herein).

          SECTION 4.4. Financial Information. (a) The consolidated balance sheet of Borrower and
their Consolidated Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of
operations and cash flows of General Partner for the fiscal year then ended, reported on by
PriceWaterhouseCoopers fairly present, in conformity with GAAP, the consolidated financial position
of Borrower, General Partner and their Consolidated Subsidiaries as of such date and the
consolidated results of operations and cash flows for such fiscal quarter.

               (b) Since December 31, 2008, (i) except as may have been disclosed in writing to the Banks,
nothing has occurred having a Material Adverse Effect, and (ii) except as set forth on Schedule
4.4(b), neither the Borrower nor General Partner has incurred any material indebtedness or guaranty
on or before the Closing Date.

          SECTION 4.5. Litigation. Except as previously disclosed by the Borrower in writing to the
Banks, there is no action, suit or proceeding pending against, or to the knowledge of the Borrower
threatened against or affecting, (i) the Borrower, any Qualified Borrower, General Partner or any
of their Consolidated Subsidiaries, (ii) the Loan Documents or any of the transactions contemplated
by the Loan Documents or (iii) any of their assets, before any court or arbitrator or any
governmental body, agency or official in which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse
decision which could, individually, or in the aggregate have a Material Adverse Effect or which in
any manner draws into question the validity of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. As of
the Closing Date, no such action, suit or proceeding exists.

          SECTION 4.6. Intentionally Omitted.

          SECTION 4.7. Environmental. The Borrower conducts reviews of the effect of Environmental
Laws on the business, operations and properties of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries
when necessary in the course of which it identifies and evaluates associated liabilities and costs
(including, without limitation, any capital or operating
expenditures required for clean-up or closure of properties presently owned, any capital or
operating expenditures required to achieve or maintain compliance with environmental protection
standards imposed by law or as a condition of any license, permit or contract, any

40

 

related
constraints on operating activities, and any actual or potential liabilities to third parties,
including, without limitation, employees, and any related costs and expenses). On the basis of
this review, the Borrower has reasonably concluded that such associated liabilities and costs,
including, without limitation, the costs of compliance with Environmental Laws, are unlikely to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 4.8. Taxes. The Borrower, each Qualified Borrower, the General Partner and their
Consolidated Subsidiaries have filed all United States Federal income tax returns and all other
material tax returns which are required to be filed by them and have paid all taxes due pursuant to
such returns or pursuant to any assessment received by the Borrower, any Qualified Borrower, the
General Partner or any Consolidated Subsidiary, except such taxes, if any, as are reserved against
in accordance with GAAP, such taxes as are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings
or such taxes, the failure to make payment of which when due and payable will not have, in the
aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the
Borrower, General Partner and their Consolidated Subsidiaries in respect of taxes or other
governmental charges are, in the opinion of the Borrower, adequate.

          SECTION 4.9. Full Disclosure. All information heretofore furnished by the Borrower to the
Administrative Agent or any Bank for purposes of or in connection with this Agreement or any
transaction contemplated hereby or thereby is true and accurate in all material respects on the
date as of which such information is stated or certified. The Borrower has disclosed to the
Administrative Agent, in writing any and all facts which have or may have (to the extent the
Borrower can now reasonably foresee) a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 4.10. Solvency. On the Closing Date and after giving effect to the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents occurring on the Closing Date, the Borrower, each Qualified
Borrower and General Partner will be Solvent.

          SECTION 4.11. Use of Proceeds. All proceeds of the Loans will be used by the Borrower or
the applicable Qualified Borrower only in accordance with the provisions hereof. Neither the
making of any Loan nor the use of the proceeds thereof will violate or be inconsistent with the
provisions of regulations T, U, or X of the Federal Reserve Board.

          SECTION 4.12. Governmental Approvals. No order, consent, approval, license, authorization,
or validation of, or filing, recording or registration with, or exemption by, any governmental or
public body or authority, or any subdivision thereof, is required to authorize, or is required in
connection with the execution, delivery and performance of any Loan Document or the consummation of
any of the transactions contemplated thereby other than those that have already been duly made or
obtained and remain in full force and effect or those which, if not made or obtained, would not
have a Material Adverse Effect;

          SECTION 4.13. Investment Company Act; Public Utility Holding Company Act. Neither the
Borrower, any Qualified Borrower, General Partner nor any Consolidated Subsidiary (other than AMB
Capital Partners, LLC) is (x) an “investment company” or a
company “controlled” by an “investment company”, within the meaning of the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended, (y) a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” of a “holding company” or an
“affiliate” of either a “holding company” or a “subsidiary company” within the

41

 

meaning of the
Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005, or (z) subject to any other federal or state law or
regulation which purports to restrict or regulate its ability to borrow money.

          SECTION 4.14. Principal Offices. As of the Closing Date, the principal office, chief
executive office and principal place of business of the Borrower and Guarantor is Pier 1, Bay 1,
San Francisco, California 94111.

continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust under the Code.

          SECTION 4.16. Patents, Trademarks, etc. The Borrower and each Qualified Borrower has
obtained and holds in full force and effect all patents, trademarks, servicemarks, trade names,
copyrights and other such rights, free from burdensome restrictions, which are necessary for the
operation of its business as presently conducted, the impairment of which is likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 4.17. Judgments. As of the Closing Date, there are no final, non-appealable
judgments or decrees in an aggregate amount of Thirty-Five Million Dollars ($35,000,000) or more
entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction against General Partner or the Borrower or,
to the extent such judgment would be recourse to General Partner or Borrower, any of its
Consolidated Subsidiaries (other than judgments as to which, and only to the extent, a reputable
insurance company has acknowledged coverage of such claim in writing or which have been paid or
stayed).

          SECTION 4.18. No Default. No Event of Default or, to the best of the Borrower’s knowledge,
Default exists under or with respect to any Loan Document and neither the Borrower, Guarantor nor
any Qualified Borrower is in default in any material respect beyond any applicable grace period
under or with respect to any other material agreement, instrument or undertaking to which it is a
party or by which it or any of its property is bound in any respect, the existence of which default
is likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 4.19. Licenses, etc. The Borrower and each Qualified Borrower has obtained and
does hold in full force and effect, all franchises, licenses, permits, certificates,
authorizations, qualifications, accreditation, easements, rights of way and other consents and
approvals which are necessary for the operation of its businesses as presently conducted, the
absence of which is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 4.20. Compliance With Law. To the Borrower’s knowledge, the Borrower, each
Qualified Borrower and each of its respective Real Property Assets are in compliance with all laws,
rules, regulations, orders, judgments, writs and decrees, including, without limitation, all
building and zoning ordinances and codes, the failure to comply with which is likely to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 4.21. No Burdensome Restrictions. Except as may have been disclosed by the
Borrower in writing to the Banks, neither Borrower nor any Qualified Borrower is a party to any
agreement or instrument or subject to any other obligation or any charter or corporate or
partnership restriction, as the case may be, which, individually or in the aggregate, is likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect.

42

 

          SECTION 4.22. Brokers’ Fees. The Borrower has not dealt with any broker or finder with
respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or otherwise in connection with this
Agreement, and the Borrower has not done any act, had any negotiations or conversation, or made any

the payment by the Borrower of any brokerage fee, charge, commission or other compensation to any
party with respect to the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents, other than the fees
payable to the Administrative Agent and the Banks, and certain other Persons as previously

          SECTION 4.24. Insurance. The Borrower currently maintains insurance at 100% replacement

Assets, as well as commercial general liability insurance (including, without limitation,
“builders’ risk” where applicable) against claims for personal, and bodily injury and/or death, to
one or more persons, or property damage, as well as workers’ compensation insurance, in each case
with respect to liability and casualty insurance with insurers having an A.M. Best policyholders’
rating of not less than A-VII in amounts that prudent owners of assets such as Borrower’s directly
or indirectly owned Real Property Assets would maintain.

          SECTION 4.25. Organizational Documents. The documents delivered pursuant to Section 3.1(e)
constitute, as of the Closing Date, all of the organizational documents (together with all
amendments and modifications thereof) of the Borrower, each Qualified Borrower as of the Closing
Date and General Partner. The Borrower represents that it has delivered to the Administrative
Agent true, correct and complete copies of each such documents. General Partner is the general

statement of all Unencumbered Properties; and

               (k) from time to time such additional information regarding the financial position or business
of the Borrower, General Partner and their Subsidiaries as the Administrative Agent, at the request
of any Bank, may reasonably request in writing, so long as disclosure of such information could not
result in a violation of, or expose the Borrower, General Partner or their Subsidiaries to any
material liability under, any applicable law, ordinance or regulation or any agreements with
unaffiliated third parties that are binding on the Borrower, General Partner or any of their
Subsidiaries or on any Property of any of them.

          SECTION 5.2. Payment of Obligations. The Borrower, each Qualified Borrower, General
Partner and their Consolidated Subsidiaries will pay and discharge, at or before maturity, all
their respective material obligations and liabilities including, without limitation, any obligation
pursuant to any agreement by which it or any of its properties is bound, in each case where the
failure to so pay or discharge such obligations or liabilities is likely to result in a Material
Adverse Effect, and will maintain in accordance with GAAP, appropriate reserves for the accrual of
any of the same.

          SECTION 5.3. Maintenance of Property; Insurance; Affiliate Transfers.

               (a) The Borrower will keep, and will cause each Consolidated Subsidiary to keep, all property
useful and necessary in its business, including without limitation its Real Property Assets (for so
long as it constitutes Real Property Assets), in good repair,
working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted, in each case where the failure
to so maintain and repair will have a Material Adverse Effect.

               (b) The Borrower shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, insurance described in Section
4.24 hereof with insurers meeting the qualifications described therein, which insurance shall in
any event not provide for less coverage than insurance customarily carried by owners of properties
similar to, and in the same locations as, Borrower’s Real Property Assets. The Borrower will
deliver to the Administrative Agent upon the reasonable request of

46

 

the Administrative Agent from
time to time (i) full information as to the insurance carried, (ii) within five (5) days of receipt
of notice from any insurer a copy of any notice of cancellation or material change in coverage
required by Section 4.24 from that existing on the date of this Agreement and (iii) forthwith,
notice of any cancellation or nonrenewal (without replacement) of coverage by the Borrower.

          SECTION 5.4. Maintenance of Existence. The Borrower, each Qualified Borrower and General
Partner each will preserve, renew and keep in full force and effect, their respective partnership
and corporate existence and their respective rights, privileges and franchises necessary for the
normal conduct of business unless the failure to maintain such rights and franchises does not have
a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 5.5. Compliance with Laws. The Borrower, each Qualified Borrower and General
Partner will, and will cause their Subsidiaries to, comply in all material respects with all
applicable laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, and requirements of governmental authorities
(including, without limitation, Environmental Laws, and all zoning and building codes with respect
to its Real Property Assets and ERISA and the rules and regulations thereunder and all federal
securities laws) except where the necessity of compliance therewith is contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings or where the failure to do so will not have a Material Adverse Effect or
expose Administrative Agent or Banks to any material liability therefor.

          SECTION 5.6. Inspection of Property, Books and Records. The Borrower will keep proper
books of record and account in which full, true and correct entries shall be made of all dealings
and transactions in relation to its business and activities in conformity with GAAP, modified as
required by this Agreement and applicable law; and will permit representatives of any Bank, at such
Bank’s expense, or from and after an Event of Default, at Borrower’s expense, to visit and inspect
any of its properties, including without limitation its Real Property Assets, and so long as
disclosure of such information could not result in a violation of, or expose the Borrower, any
Qualified Borrower, General Partner or their Subsidiaries to any material liability under, any
applicable law, ordinance or regulation or any agreements with unaffiliated third parties that are
binding on the Borrower, any Qualified Borrower, General Partner or any of their Subsidiaries or on
any Property of any of them, to examine and make abstracts from any of its books and records and to
discuss its affairs, finances and accounts with its officers and independent public accountants,
all at such reasonable times during normal business hours, upon reasonable prior notice and as
often as may reasonably be desired. Administrative Agent shall coordinate any such visit or
inspection to arrange for review by any Bank requesting any such visit or inspection.

          SECTION 5.7. Existence. The Borrower shall do or cause to be done, all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect its, each Qualified Borrower’s, General Partner’s and
their Consolidated Subsidiaries’ existence and its patents, trademarks, servicemarks, tradenames,
copyrights, franchises, licenses, permits, certificates, authorizations, qualifications,
accreditation, easements, rights of way and other rights, consents and approvals the nonexistence
of which is likely to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          SECTION 5.8. Financial Covenants.

47

 

               (a) Total Liabilities to Total Asset Value. Borrower shall not permit the ratio of
Total Liabilities to Total Asset Value of Borrower to exceed 0.60:1 at any time; provided, however,
such ratio may exceed 0.60:1 for any two (2) consecutive quarters but in no event shall Borrower
permit the ratio of Total Liabilities to Total Asset Value to exceed 0.65:1 at any time.

               (b) Adjusted EBITDA to Fixed Charges Ratio. Borrower shall not permit the ratio of
Adjusted EBITDA to Fixed Charges, for the then most recently completed four (4) consecutive Fiscal
Quarters, to be less than 1.75:1.

               (c) Secured Debt to Total Asset Value. Borrower shall not permit the ratio of Secured
Debt to Total Asset Value of Borrower to exceed 0.25:1 at any time.

               (d) Intentionally Omitted.

               (e) Unencumbered Net Operating Cash Flow to Unsecured Interest Expense. Borrower
shall not permit the ratio of Unencumbered Net Operating Cash Flow to Unsecured Interest Expense to
be less than 1.75:1.

               (f) Minimum Tangible Net Worth. The Consolidated Tangible Net Worth of the Borrower
determined in conformity with GAAP will at no time be less than the sum of Two Billion Two Hundred
Million Dollars ($2,200,000,000.00) and seventy percent (70%) of the Net Offering Proceeds (other
than proceeds received within ninety (90) days after the redemption, retirement or repurchase of
ownership or equity interests in Borrower or Guarantor, up to the amount paid by Borrower or
Guarantor in connection with such redemption, retirement or repurchase, where, for the avoidance of
doubt, the net effect is that neither Borrower nor Guarantor shall have increased its Net Worth as
a result of any such proceeds) received by the Borrower or General Partner subsequent to the
Closing Date.

               (g) Dividends. During the continuance of a monetary Event of Default, Borrower shall
only pay partnership distributions that are necessary to enable General Partner to make those
dividends necessary to maintain General Partner’s status as a real estate investment trust.

               (h) Permitted Holdings. Borrower’s primary business will not be substantially
different from that conducted by Borrower on the Closing Date and shall include the ownership,
operation and development of Real Property Assets and any other business activities of Borrower and
its Subsidiaries will remain incidental thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower and its
Subsidiaries may acquire or maintain Permitted Holdings if and so
long as the aggregate value of Permitted Holdings, whether held directly or indirectly by
Borrower does not exceed, at any time, twenty-five percent (25%) of Total Asset Value of Borrower
unless a greater percentage is approved by the Majority Banks (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). For purposes of calculating the foregoing
percentage, the value of Unimproved Assets shall be calculated based upon the book value thereof,
determined in accordance with GAAP.

               (i) Intentionally Omitted.

48

 

               (j) No Liens. Borrower and General Partner shall not, and shall not allow any of their
Subsidiaries, Financing Partnerships or Joint Venture Subsidiaries to, allow any Unencumbered
Property (or any equity interests in such Property that are owned directly or indirectly by
Borrower, General Partner or any Joint Venture Parent), that is necessary to comply with the
provisions of Section 5.8(e) hereof, to become subject to a Lien that secures the Indebtedness of
any Person, other than Permitted Liens.

               (k) Calculation. Each of the foregoing ratios and financial requirements shall be
calculated as of the last day of each Fiscal Quarter.

          SECTION 5.9. Restriction on Fundamental Changes. (a) Neither the Borrower nor General
Partner shall enter into any merger or consolidation without obtaining the prior written consent
thereto in writing of the Majority Banks, unless the following criteria are met: (i) either (x) the
Borrower or General Partner is the surviving entity, or (y) the individuals constituting the
General Partner’s board of directors or board of trustees immediately prior to such merger or
consolidation represent a majority of the surviving entity’s board of directors or board of
trustees after such merger or consolidation; and (ii) the entity which is merged into Borrower or
General Partner is predominantly in the commercial real estate business. Nothing in this Section
shall be deemed to prohibit the sale or leasing of portions of the Real Property Assets in the
ordinary course of business.

               (b) The Borrower shall not amend its agreement of limited partnership or other organizational
documents in any manner that would have a Material Adverse Effect without the Majority Banks’
consent. Without limitation of the foregoing, no Person shall be admitted as a general partner of
the Borrower other than General Partner. General Partner shall not amend its articles of
incorporation, by-laws, or other organizational documents in any manner that would have a Material
Adverse Effect without the Majority Banks’ consent. No Qualified Borrower shall amend its
organizational documents in any manner that would have a Material Adverse Effect without the
Majority Banks’ consent. The Borrower shall not make any “in-kind” transfer of any of its property
or assets to any of its constituent partners if such transfer would result in an Event of Default
under Section 6.1(b) by reason of a breach of the provisions of Section 5.8.

          SECTION 5.10. Changes in Business. (a) Except for Permitted Holdings and Foreign Property
Interests, neither the Borrower, any Qualified Borrower nor General Partner shall enter into any
business which is substantially different from that conducted by the Borrower or General Partner on
the Closing Date after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by the
Loan Documents. The Borrower shall carry on its business operations through the Borrower, its
Consolidated Subsidiaries and its Investment Affiliates.

               (b) Except for Permitted Holdings and Foreign Property Interests, Borrower shall not engage in
any line of business which is substantially different from the business conducted by the Borrower
on the Closing Date, which includes the ownership, operation and development of Real Property
Assets and the provision of services incidental thereto, whether directly or through its
Consolidated Subsidiaries and Investment Affiliates.

          SECTION 5.11. General Partner Status.

49

 

               (a) Status. General Partner shall at all times (i) remain a publicly traded company
listed for trading on the New York Stock Exchange, and (ii) maintain its status as a self-directed
and self-administered real estate investment trust under the Code.

               (b) Indebtedness. General Partner shall not, directly or indirectly, create, incur,
assume or otherwise become or remain directly or indirectly liable with respect to, any
Indebtedness, except:

               (1) the Obligations; and

               (2) Indebtedness of Borrower for which there is recourse to General Partner
which, after giving effect thereto, may be incurred or may remain outstanding
without giving rise to an Event of Default or Default under any provision of this
Article V.

               (c) Restriction on Fundamental Changes.

               (1) General Partner shall not have an investment in any Person other than (i)
Borrower or indirectly through Borrower, (ii) directly or indirectly in Financing
Partnerships, and (iii) the interests identified on Schedule 5.11(c)(1) as being
owned by General Partner.

               (2) General Partner shall not acquire an interest in any Property other than
securities issued by Borrower and Financing Partnerships and the interests
identified on Schedule 5.11(c)(2) attached hereto.

               (d) Environmental Liabilities. Neither General Partner nor any of its Subsidiaries
shall become subject to any Environmental Claim which has a Material Adverse Effect, including,
without limitation, any arising out of or related to (i) the release or threatened release of any
Material of Environmental Concern into the environment, or any remedial action in response thereto,
or (ii) any violation of any Environmental Laws. Notwithstanding the foregoing provision, General
Partner shall have the right to contest in good faith any claim of violation of an Environmental
Law by appropriate legal proceedings and shall be entitled to postpone compliance with the
obligation being contested as long as (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, (ii) General Partner shall have given Administrative Agent prior written notice of the
commencement of such contest, (iii) noncompliance with such Environmental Law shall not subject
General Partner or such Subsidiary to any criminal penalty
or subject Administrative Agent or any Bank to pay any civil penalty or to prosecution for a
crime, and (iv) no portion of any Property material to Borrower or its condition or prospects shall
be in substantial danger of being sold, forfeited or lost, by reason of such contest or the
continued existence of the matter being contested.

               (e) Disposal of Partnership Interests. General Partner will not directly or
indirectly convey, sell, transfer, assign, pledge or otherwise encumber or dispose of any of its
partnership interests in Borrower or any of its equity interest in any of the partners of the
Borrower as of the date hereof (except in connection with the dissolution or liquidation of such
partners of the Borrower or the redemption of interests in connection with stock repurchase
programs), except for the reduction of General Partner’s interest in the Borrower arising from

50

 

Borrower’s issuance of partnership interests in the Borrower or the retirement of preferred
units by Borrower. General Partner will continue to be the managing general partner of Borrower.

          SECTION 5.12. Other Indebtedness. Borrower and General Partner shall not allow any of
their Subsidiaries, Financing Partnerships or Joint Venture Subsidiaries that own, directly or
indirectly, any Unencumbered Property to directly or indirectly create, incur, assume or otherwise
become or remain liable with respect to any Indebtedness other than trade debt incurred in the
ordinary course of business and Indebtedness owing to Borrower or any Financing Partnership, if the
resulting failure of such Property to qualify as a Unencumbered Property would result in an Event
of Default under Section 5.8.

          SECTION 5.13. Forward Equity Contracts. If Borrower shall enter into any forward equity
contracts, Borrower may only settle the same by delivery of stock, it being agreed that if Borrower
shall settle the same with cash, the same shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder unless
Borrower shall have received the unanimous consent of the Banks to settle such forward equity
contracts with cash.

          SECTION 5.14. Capital Funding Loans. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, in the event that any Property located outside the United States (each a “Non-US
Property”) is owned by a Financing Partnership (a “100% AMB Non-US Property Owner”), by
a Joint Venture Subsidiary (a “JV Non-US Property Owner”) or by a wholly-owned direct or
indirect subsidiary of a Joint Venture Subsidiary (a “Tiered Non-US Property Owner”; such
Joint Venture Subsidiary is hereinafter referred to as the “First Tier JV”; each entity
through which the First Tier JV indirectly owns a Tiered Non-US Property Owner is hereinafter
referred to as an “Intermediate Tier Entity”; and the Tiered Non-US Property Owners, the
100% AMB Non-US Property Owners and the JV Non-US Property Owners are sometimes hereinafter
referred to individually as a “Non-US Property Owner” and collectively as the “Non-US Property
Owners”) and the Non-US Property Owner or, in the case of any Tiered Non-US Property Owner, the
related First Tier JV or a related Intermediate Tier Entity has incurred Indebtedness (whether or
not such Indebtedness is secured by a Lien against such Non-US Property and/or any direct or
indirect equity interests in the Non-US Property Owner) (each a “Capital Funding Loan”)
held by

	 	(x)	 	in the case of a 100% AMB Non-US Property Owner, Borrower or any other
Financing Partnership, and
	 
	 	(y)	 	in the case of a JV Non-US Property Owner or a Tiered Non-US Property Owner,
either (AA) an entity (hereinafter an “International FinCo”) in which
Borrower’s Share is the same or greater than Borrower’s Share in such Non-US Property
Owner, or (BB) a Financing Partnership (or Borrower directly) and entities which are
not Financing Partnerships (including Persons who are not Affiliates of Borrower or
whose constituent entities include Persons who are not Affiliates of Borrower)
(“Joint Lenders”), provided that Borrower’s direct or indirect share of such
Indebtedness is the same or greater than Borrower’s Share of such Non-US Property
Owner,

then no such Capital Funding Loan or related Second Tier Funding Loan (as defined below) shall be
deemed to constitute Indebtedness for any purposes under this Agreement, any Lien securing

51

 

such Capital Funding Loan shall be a Permitted Lien and no Non-US Property to which such Capital Funding
Loan or Second Tier Funding Loan relates shall fail to be a Unencumbered Property solely because
the capital provided to the applicable Non-US Property Owner or related First Tier JV or
Intermediate Tier Entity was in the form of a Capital Funding Loan rather than a contribution to
the equity of such Non-US Property Owner, First Tier JV or Intermediate Tier Entity, so long as

	 	(a)	 	in the case of a Capital Funding Loan made by an International FinCo, the sale
of such Capital Funding Loan, or the sale or refinancing of any interest in the Non-US
Property or any direct or indirect equity interests in the Non-US Property Owner
acquired as a result of the exercise of any remedies in connection with the enforcement
of such Capital Funding Loan, is Substantially Controlled by Borrower (as defined
below),
	 
	 	(b)	 	in the case of a Capital Funding Loan made by Joint Lenders, any remedies in
connection with enforcement of such Capital Funding Loan may only be exercised by such
Joint Lenders concurrently and, in the event of any such exercise and the Joint Lenders
acquire such Non-US Property or any direct or indirect equity interests in such Non-US Property Owner,
the sale or refinancing of such Non-US Property and, if the direct or indirect
equity interests in such Non-US Property Owner are held jointly, such equity
interests will be Substantially Controlled by Borrower, and
	 
	 	(c)	 	no interest in any Capital Funding Loan or Second Tier Funding Loan held
directly or indirectly by Borrower is subject to any Lien (other than a Permitted Lien)
or any Negative Pledge.

For purposes of the foregoing, an action will be “Substantially Controlled by Borrower” if such
action is substantially controlled directly by Borrower or through one or more Financing
Partnerships either by agreement of the parties, through the provisions of a Person’s formation
documents or otherwise. For purposes of the preceding sentence, an action shall be deemed to be
substantially controlled directly by Borrower or through one or more Financing Partnerships if
Borrower or such Financing Partnerships have the ability to exercise a usual and customary buy-sell
right in the event of a disagreement regarding such action. As used herein the term “Second
Tier Funding Loan” means any loans made to an International FinCo by Borrower, any Financing
Partnerships of Borrower and/or any other Person with an equity interest in such International
FinCo (or affiliates of such other Person) so long as (x) Borrower’s direct or indirect share of
the combined loans of Borrower, any Financing Partnership and/or such other Persons (or affiliates
thereof) to the International FinCo is the same or greater than Borrower’s Share of the applicable
Non-US Property Owner, and (y) all such loans are pari passu and any remedies that may be exercised
in connection with enforcement of such loans may only be exercised concurrently or not at all.

               (o) at any time, for any reason the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower seeks to repudiate its

acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower for itself and on behalf of
any Qualified Borrower; and upon the occurrence and during the

55

 

continuance of any other Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, following consultation with the Banks, may (and upon the demand
of the Majority Banks shall), by written notice to the Borrower, in addition to the exercise of all
of the rights and remedies permitted the Administrative Agent and the Banks at law or equity or
under any of the other Loan Documents, declare that the Commitments are terminated and declare the

presentment, notice of intent to demand or accelerate and notice of acceleration), all of which are
hereby expressly waived by the Borrower for itself and on behalf of any Qualified Borrower.

               (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or in any other Loan

rights and remedies granted to the Administrative Agent or the Banks under this Agreement or at law

Administrative Agent may pursue such rights and remedies as it may determine.

          SECTION 6.3. Notice of Default. The Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower
under Section 6.1(c) and 6.1(d) promptly upon being requested to do so by the Majority Banks and

knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default (other than nonpayment of
principal of or interest on the Loans) unless Administrative Agent has received notice in writing
from a Bank or Borrower referring to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, describing such
event or condition. Should Administrative Agent receive notice of the occurrence of an Default or
Event of Default expressly stating that such notice is a notice of an Default or Event of Default,
or should Administrative Agent send Borrower a notice of Default or Event of Default,
Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to each Bank.

          SECTION 6.4. Distribution of Proceeds after Default. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary but subject to the provisions of Section 9.16 hereof , from and after an
Event of Default, to the extent proceeds are received by Administrative Agent, such proceeds will
be distributed to the Banks pro rata in accordance with the unpaid principal amount of the Loans
(giving effect to any participations granted therein pursuant to Section 9.4).

ARTICLE VII

THE AGENTS

          SECTION 7.1. Appointment and Authorization. Each Bank irrevocably appoints and authorizes
the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers
under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by
the terms hereof or thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.
Except as set forth in Sections 7.8 and 7.9 hereof, the provisions of this Article VII are solely
for the benefit of Administrative Agent and the Banks, and Borrower shall not have any rights to
rely on or enforce any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this
Agreement, Administrative Agent shall each act solely as an agent of the Banks and do not assume
and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation toward or relationship of agency or trust
with or for the Borrower.

          SECTION 7.2. Agency and Affiliates. JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking
Corporation each has the same rights and powers under this Agreement as any other Bank and may
exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent or
Syndication Agent, as applicable, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking
Corporation and each of their affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally
engage in any kind of business with the Borrower, General Partner or any Subsidiary or affiliate of
the Borrower as if they were not the Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent, as applicable,
hereunder, and the term “Bank” and “Banks” shall include each of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. and
Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, each in its individual capacity.

          SECTION 7.3. Action by Agents. The obligations of each of the Agents hereunder are only
those expressly set forth herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each of the
Agents shall not be required to take any action with respect to any Default or Event of Default,
except as expressly provided in Article VI. The duties of each Agent shall be administrative in
nature. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.1, 7.5 and 7.6, each Agent shall administer the
Loans in the same manner as each administers its own loans.

          SECTION 7.4. Consultation with Experts. As between Administrative Agent on the one hand
and the Banks on the other hand, the Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may
be counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and
shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance
with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts.

          SECTION 7.5. Liability of Agents. As between each Agent on the one hand and the Banks on
the other hand, none of the Agents nor any of their affiliates nor any of their respective
directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in
connection herewith (i) with the consent or at the request of the Majority Banks or (ii) in the
absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. As between each Agent on the one hand
and the Banks on the other hand, none of the Agents nor any of their respective directors,
officers, agents or employees shall be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain, inquire into
or verify (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in connection with this

57

 

Agreement or any borrowing hereunder; (ii) the performance or observance of any of the covenants or agreements of the Borrower; (iii) the
satisfaction of any condition specified in Article III, except receipt of items required to be
delivered to such Agent, or (iv) the validity, effectiveness or genuineness of this Agreement, the
other Loan Documents or any other instrument or writing furnished in connection herewith. As
between each Agent on the one hand and the Banks on the other hand, none of the Agents shall incur
any liability by acting in reliance upon any notice, consent, certificate, statement, or other
writing (which may be a bank wire, telex or similar writing) believed by it to be genuine or to be
signed by the proper party or parties.

          SECTION 7.6. Indemnification. Each Bank shall, ratably in accordance with its Commitment,
indemnify the Agents and their affiliates and their respective directors, officers, agents and
employees (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower) against any cost, expense (including,
without limitation, counsel fees and disbursements), claim, demand, action, loss or liability
(except such as result from such indemnitee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct) that such
indemnitee may suffer or incur in connection with its duties as Agent under this Agreement, the
other Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such indemnitee hereunder. In the event
that any Agent shall, subsequent to its receipt of indemnification payment(s) from Banks in
accordance with this section, recoup any amount from the Borrower, or any other party liable
therefor in connection with such indemnification, such Agent shall reimburse the Banks which
previously made the payment(s) pro rata, based upon the actual amounts which were theretofore paid
by each Bank. Each Agent shall reimburse such Banks so entitled to reimbursement within two (2)
Business Days of its receipt of such funds from the Borrower or such other party liable therefor.

          SECTION 7.7. Credit Decision. Each Bank acknowledges that it has, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent or any other Bank, and based
on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and
decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Bank also acknowledges that it will, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, Syndication Agent or any other Bank, and based on
such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own
credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under this Agreement.

          SECTION 7.8. Successor Agents. The Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent may
resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Banks, the Borrower and each other and the
Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent, as applicable, shall resign in the event its
Commitment (without participants) is reduced to less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) unless
as a result of a cancellation or reduction in the aggregate Commitments. Upon any such
resignation, the Majority Banks shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent or
Syndication Agent, as applicable, which successor Administrative Agent or successor Syndication
Agent (as applicable) shall, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing, be
subject to Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If
no successor Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent (as applicable) shall have been so appointed
by the Majority Banks and approved by the Borrower, and shall have accepted such appointment,
within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent (as applicable) gives
notice of resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent or retiring Syndication Agent (as
applicable) may, on behalf of the

58

 

Banks, appoint a successor Administrative Agent or Syndication
Agent (as applicable), which shall be the Administrative Agent, Documentation Agent or the
Syndication Agent as the case may be, who shall act until the Majority Banks shall appoint an
Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent. Any appointment of a successor Administrative Agent or
Syndication Agent by Majority Banks or the retiring Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent
pursuant to the preceding sentence shall, provided no Event of Default has occurred and is then
continuing, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as the Administrative Agent or
Syndication Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent or successor Syndication Agent, as
applicable, such successor Administrative Agent or successor Syndication Agent, as applicable,
shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights and duties of the retiring
Administrative Agent or retiring Syndication Agent, as applicable, and the retiring Administrative
Agent or the retiring Syndication Agent, as applicable, shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder. After any retiring Administrative Agent’s or retiring Syndication Agent’s
resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Article shall inure to its benefit as to any actions
taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent,
as applicable. For gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by all the Banks
(excluding for such determination Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent in its capacity as a
Bank, as applicable), Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent may be removed at any time by giving at
least thirty (30) Business Days’ prior written notice to Administrative Agent or Syndication Agent
and Borrower. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the acceptance of appointment by
a successor Administrative Agent, Documentation Agent or Syndication Agent, as applicable, in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.8.

          SECTION 7.9. Consents and Approvals. All communications from Administrative Agent to the
Banks requesting the Banks’ determination, consent, approval or disapproval (i) shall be given in
the form of a written notice to each Bank, (ii) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter
or item as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall
advise each Bank where such matter or item may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter
or issue to be resolved, (iii) shall include, if reasonably requested by a Bank and to the extent
not previously provided to such Bank, written materials and a summary of all oral information
provided to Administrative Agent by Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, (iv)
shall include Administrative Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect
thereof ), and (v) shall include the following clause in capital letters, “FAILURE TO RESPOND TO
THIS NOTICE WITHIN THE BANK REPLY PERIOD SHALL BE DEEMED CONSENT TO THE RECOMMENDATION SET FORTH
HEREIN”. Each Bank shall reply promptly, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after
receipt of the request therefor from Administrative Agent (the “Bank Reply Period”). Unless a Bank
shall give written notice to Administrative Agent that it objects to the recommendation or
determination of Administrative Agent (together with a written explanation of the reasons behind
such objection) within the Bank Reply Period, such Bank shall be deemed to have approved of or
consented to such recommendation or determination. With respect to decisions requiring the
approval of the Majority Banks or all the Banks, Administrative Agent shall submit its
recommendation or determination for approval of or consent to such recommendation or determination
to all Banks and upon receiving the required approval or consent (or deemed approval or consent, as
the case may be) shall follow the course of action or

59

 

determination of the Majority Banks or all
the Banks (and each non-responding Bank shall be deemed to have concurred with such recommended
course of action), as the case may be.

ARTICLE VIII

CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES

          SECTION 8.1. Basis for Determining Interest Rate Inadequate or Unfair. If on or prior to
the first day of any Interest Period for any Euro-Dollar Borrowing or TIBOR Borrowing the
Administrative Agent determines in good faith that deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts)
are not being offered in the relevant market for such Interest Period, the Administrative Agent
shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower and the Banks, whereupon until the
Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no
longer exist, the obligations of the Banks to make Euro-Dollar Loans or TIBOR Loans shall be
suspended and clause (iii) of the definition of Base Rate shall not be given any effect. In such
event unless the Borrower notifies the Administrative Agent on or before the second
(2nd) Euro-Dollar Business Day before, but excluding, the date of any Euro-Dollar or
TIBOR Borrowing for Dollars for which a Notice of Borrowing has previously been given that it
elects not to borrow on such date, such Borrowing shall instead be made as a Base Rate Borrowing,
and any Notice of Borrowing for a Euro-Dollar Borrowing denominated in an Alternate Currency shall
be ineffective.

          SECTION 8.2. Illegality. If, on or after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any
applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any
change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank
or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by
any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law) made after the Closing Date of any such authority, central bank or comparable
agency shall make it unlawful for any Bank (or its Euro-Dollar Lending Office) to make, maintain or
fund its Euro-Dollar or TIBOR Loans, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof
to the other Banks and the Borrower, whereupon until such Bank notifies the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, the
obligation of such Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans, shall be suspended and clause (iii) of the
definition of Base Rate shall not be given any effect. With respect to Euro-Dollar or TIBOR Loans,
before giving any notice to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section, such Bank shall
designate a different Euro-Dollar Lending Office if such designation will avoid the need for giving
such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such Bank shall determine that it may not lawfully continue to maintain and fund
any of its outstanding Euro-Dollar or TIBOR Loans to maturity and shall so specify in such notice,
the Borrower shall be deemed to have delivered a Notice of Interest Rate Election and such
Euro-Dollar or TIBOR Loan shall be converted as of such date to a Base Rate Loan (without payment
of any amounts that Borrower would otherwise be obligated to pay pursuant to Section 2.14 hereof
with respect to Loans converted pursuant to this Section 8.2) in an equal principal amount from
such Bank (on which interest and principal shall be payable contemporaneously with the related
Euro-Dollar Loans of the other Banks), and such Bank shall make such a Base Rate Loan.

60

 

          If at any time, it shall be unlawful for any Bank to make, maintain or fund its Euro-Dollar or
TIBOR Loans, the Borrower shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Day’s notice to the
Administrative Agent, to either (x) cause a bank, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative
Agent, to offer to purchase the Commitments of such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank’s
outstanding Loans, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon, and to become a Bank
hereunder, or obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to offer to purchase the
Commitments of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is hereby required to accept, or
(y) to repay in full all Loans then outstanding of such Bank, together with interest due thereon
and any and all fees due hereunder, upon which event, such Bank’s Commitments shall be deemed to be
canceled pursuant to Section 2.11(c).

          SECTION 8.3. Increased Cost and Reduced Return.

               (a) If, on or after the date hereof (the “Loan Effective Date”), the adoption of any
applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any
change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank
or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by
any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) with any request or directive (whether or not having
the force of law) made at the Closing Date of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency
shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, any such
requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (but excluding with
respect to any Euro-Dollar Loan any such requirement reflected in an applicable Euro-Dollar Reserve
Percentage)), special deposit, insurance assessment or similar requirement against assets of,
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Bank (or its Applicable Lending
Office) or shall impose on any Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) or on the interbank market
any other condition materially more burdensome in nature, extent or consequence than those in
existence as of the Loan Effective Date affecting such Bank’s Euro-Dollar Loans, its Note, or its
obligation to make Euro-Dollar Loans, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the
cost to such Bank (or its Applicable Lending Office) of making or maintaining any Euro-Dollar Loan,
or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank (or its Applicable Lending
Office) under this Agreement or under its Note with respect to such Euro-Dollar Loans, by an amount
deemed by such Bank to be material, then, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to
the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts
(based upon a reasonable allocation thereof by such Bank to the Euro-Dollar Loans made by such Bank
hereunder) as will compensate such Bank for such increased cost or reduction to the extent such
Bank generally imposes such additional amounts on other borrowers of such Bank in similar
circumstances.

               (b) If any Bank shall have reasonably determined that, after the date hereof, the adoption of
any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or any change in any such law,
rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any
governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by any Bank with any request or directive regarding capital
adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) made after the Closing Date of any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of
return on capital of such Bank (or its Parent) as a consequence of such

61

 

Bank’s obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Bank (or its Parent) could have achieved but for such
adoption, change, request or directive (taking into consideration its policies with respect to
capital adequacy) by an amount reasonably deemed by such Bank to be material, then from time to
time, within 15 days after demand by such Bank (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), the
Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Bank (or
its Parent) for such reduction to the extent such Bank generally imposes such additional amounts on
other borrowers of such Bank in similar circumstances.

               (c) Each Bank will promptly notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any event of
which it has knowledge, occurring after the date hereof, which will entitle such Bank to
compensation pursuant to this Section and will designate a different Applicable Lending Office if
such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not,
in the reasonable judgment of such Bank, be otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank. If such Bank
shall fail to notify Borrower of any such event within ninety (90) days following the end of the
month during which such event occurred, then Borrower’s liability for any amounts described in this
Section incurred by such Bank as a result of such event shall be limited to those attributable to
the period occurring subsequent to the ninetieth (90th) day prior to, but excluding, the
date upon which such Bank actually notified Borrower of the occurrence of such event. A
certificate of any Bank claiming compensation under this Section and setting forth a reasonably
detailed calculation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be
conclusive in the absence of demonstrable error. In determining such amount, such Bank may use any
reasonable averaging and attribution methods.

               (d) If at any time, any Bank shall be owed amounts pursuant to this Section 8.3, the Borrower
shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent to either (x)
cause a bank, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to offer to purchase the
Commitments of such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank’s outstanding Loans, and to become a Bank
hereunder, or to obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to offer to purchase the
Commitments of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is hereby required to accept, or
(y) to repay in full all Loans then outstanding of such Bank, together with interest and all other
amounts due thereon, upon which event, such Bank’s Commitment shall be deemed to be canceled
pursuant to Section 2.11(c).

          SECTION 8.4. Taxes.

               (a) Any and all payments by the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower to or for the account of
any Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be made free
and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future taxes, duties, levies,
imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding,
in the case of each Bank and the Administrative Agent, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise
taxes imposed on it, by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Bank or the Administrative
Agent (as the case may be) is organized or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of
each Bank, taxes imposed on its income, and franchise or similar taxes imposed on it, by the
jurisdiction of such Bank’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof or by
any other jurisdiction (or any political subdivision thereof) as a result of a present or former
connection between such Bank or Administrative Agent and such other jurisdiction or by the United
States (all such non-excluded taxes, duties, levies, imposts,

62

 

deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Non-Excluded Taxes”). If the Borrower or any
Qualified Borrower shall be required by law to deduct any Non-Excluded Taxes from or in respect of
any sum payable hereunder or under any Note, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so
that after making all required deductions (including, without limitation, deductions applicable to
additional sums payable under this Section 8.4) such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case
may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been
made, (ii) the Borrower or Qualified Borrower shall make such deductions, (iii) the Borrower or
Qualified Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other
authority in accordance with applicable law and (iv) the Borrower or Qualified Borrower shall
furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.1, the original or a
certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.

               (b) In addition, the Borrower agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes
and any other excise or property taxes, or charges or similar levies which arise from any payment
made hereunder or under any Note or from the execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect
to, this Agreement or any Note (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

               (c) In the event that Non-Excluded Taxes not imposed on the Closing Date are imposed, or
Non-Excluded Taxes imposed on the Closing Date increase, the applicable Bank shall notify the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower of such event in writing within a reasonable period following
receipt of knowledge thereof. If such Bank shall fail to notify Borrower of any such event within
ninety (90) days following the end of the month during which such event occurred, then Borrower’s
or Qualified Borrower’s liability for such additional Non-Excluded Taxes incurred by such Bank as a
result of such event (including payment of a make-whole amount under Section 8.4(a)(i)) shall be limited to those attributable to the period
occurring subsequent to the ninetieth (90th) day prior to, but excluding, the date upon which such
Bank actually notified Borrower of the occurrence of such event.

               (d) The Borrower agrees to indemnify each Bank and the Administrative Agent for the full
amount of Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any Non-Excluded Taxes
or Other Taxes imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 8.4)
paid by such Bank, or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) and, so long as such or
Administrative Agent has promptly paid any such Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes, any liability
for penalties and interest arising therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall
be made within 15 days from the date such Bank or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be)
makes demand therefor.

               (e) Each Bank that holds Loans denominated in Yen confirms to the Administrative Agent and to
Borrower (on the date hereof or, in the case of a Bank that holds Loans denominated in Yen which
becomes a party hereto pursuant to a transfer or assignment, on the date on which the relevant
transfer or assignment becomes effective) that it is Qualified Institutional Investor and each Bank
shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent and Borrower if there is any change in its status as
a Qualified Institutional Investor.

               (f) Each Bank that holds Loans denominated in Yen will promptly on request by any Qualified
Borrower incorporated under the laws of Japan or borrowing through its registered branch in Japan
take all reasonable steps (if any) required to be taken to establish entitlement to exemption for
such Qualified Borrower from withholding under any applicable Japanese laws and any applicable
double tax treaty, including satisfying any reasonable information, reporting or other requirement
and completion and filing of relevant forms, claims, declarations and similar documents and shall
provide such Qualified Borrower with copies of all forms, claims, declarations and similar
documents filed for such purpose.

               (g) Each Bank that holds Loans denominated in Yen which is established under the laws of a
jurisdiction other than Japan and which is acting hereunder through a Lending Office in Japan
agrees that it shall, if necessary, from time to time obtain from the relevant tax authorities a
certificate certifying that such payment constitutes domestic source income (as provided for in
Article 180 of the Income Tax Law (Law No. 33, 1965)) and deliver such certificate to each
Qualified Borrower as required by Article 180, unless prevented from so doing as a result of the
introduction of, or any change in, or any change in the interpretation or the application of, any
law or regulation or as a result of compliance with any law or regulation made after the date of
this Agreement. Upon reasonable demand by Borrower to the Administrative Agent or any applicable
Bank, the Administrative Agent or applicable Bank, as the case may be, shall deliver to Borrower,
or to such government or taxing authority as Borrower may reasonably direct, any form or document
that may be required or reasonably requested in writing in order to allow Borrower or the
applicable Qualified Borrower to make a payment to or for the account of such Bank or the
Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without any deduction or
withholding for or on account of any Non-Excluded Taxes or with such deduction or withholding at a
reduced rate (so long as the completion, execution or submission of such form or document would not
materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the party in receipt of such demand), with
any such form or document to be accurate and completed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to
Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower making such demand and to be executed and to be
delivered with any reasonably required certification.

               (h) Each Bank organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, on or
prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each Bank listed
on the signature pages hereof and on or prior to the date on which it becomes a Bank in the case of
each other Bank, shall provide the Borrower with (A) two duly completed copies of Internal Revenue
Service form 1001 or any successor form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, and (B) an
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, as appropriate, or any successor form prescribed by
the Internal Revenue Service, and shall provide Borrower with two further copies of any such form
or certification on or before the date that any such form or certification expires or becomes
obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form
previously delivered by it to Borrower, certifying (i) in the case of a Form 1001, that such Bank
is entitled to benefits under an income tax treaty to which the United States is a party which
reduces the rate of withholding tax on payments of interest or certifying that the income
receivable pursuant to this Agreement is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or
business in the United States, and (ii) in the case of a Form W-8BEN or W-8ECI, that it is entitled
to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax. If the form provided by a Bank at the
time such Bank first becomes a party to

64

 

this Agreement indicates a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded
from “Non-Excluded Taxes” as defined in Section 8.4(a).

               (i) Upon reasonable demand by Borrower or any Qualified Borrower to the Administrative Agent
or any Bank, the Administrative Agent or Bank, as the case may be, shall deliver to the Borrower or
Qualified Borrower, or to such government or taxing authority as the Borrower or Qualified Borrower
may reasonably direct, any form or document that may be required or reasonably requested in writing
in order to allow the Borrower or Qualified Borrower to make a payment to or for the account of
such Bank or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under any other Loan Document without any
deduction or withholding for or on account of any Non-Excluded Taxes or with such deduction or
withholding at a reduced rate (so long as the completion, execution or submission of such form or
document would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the party in receipt of
such demand), with any such form or document to be accurate and completed in a manner reasonably
satisfactory to the Borrower or Qualified Borrower making such demand and to be executed and to be
delivered with any reasonably required certification.

               (j) For any period with respect to which a Bank has failed to provide the Borrower with the
appropriate form pursuant to Section 8.4(d) (unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law
or regulation occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was required to be
provided), such Bank shall not be entitled to indemnification under Section 8.4(c) with respect to
Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States; provided, however, that should a Bank, which is
otherwise exempt from or subject to a reduced rate of withholding tax, become subject to
Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form required hereunder, the Borrower shall
take such steps as such Bank shall reasonably request to assist such Bank to recover such Taxes so
long as Borrower shall incur no cost or liability as a result thereof.

               (k) If the Borrower is required to pay additional amounts to or for the account of any Bank
pursuant to this Section 8.4, then such Bank will change the jurisdiction of its Applicable Lending
Office so as to eliminate or reduce any such additional payment which may thereafter accrue if such
change, in the judgment of such Bank, is not otherwise disadvantageous to such Bank.

               (l) If at any time, any Bank shall be owed amounts pursuant to this Section 8.4, the Borrower
shall have the right, upon five (5) Business Day’s notice to the Administrative Agent to either (x)
cause a bank, reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent, to offer to purchase the
Commitments of such Bank for an amount equal to such Bank’s outstanding Loans, and to become a Bank
hereunder, or to obtain the agreement of one or more existing Banks to offer to purchase the
Commitments of such Bank for such amount, which offer such Bank is hereby required to accept, or
(y) to repay in full all Loans then outstanding of such Bank, together with interest and all other
amounts due thereon, upon which event, such Bank’s Commitment shall be deemed to be canceled
pursuant to Section 2.11(c).

          SECTION 8.5. Base Rate Loans Substituted for Affected Euro-Dollar Loans. If (i) the
obligation of any Bank to make Euro-Dollar Loans has been suspended pursuant to

65

 

Section 8.2 or (ii) any Bank has demanded compensation under Section 8.3 or 8.4 with respect to its
Euro-Dollar Loans and the Borrower shall, by at least five Business Days’ prior notice to such Bank
through the Administrative Agent, have elected that the provisions of this Section shall apply to
such Bank, then, unless and until such Bank notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving
rise to such suspension or demand for compensation no longer exist:

               (a) Borrower shall be deemed to have delivered a Notice of Interest Rate Election with respect
to such affected Euro-Dollar Loans and thereafter all Loans which would otherwise be made by such
Bank to the Borrower as Dollar-denominated Euro-Dollar Loans shall be made instead as Base Rate
Loans, and no Borrowing from such Bank would take effect with respect to Loans denominated in an
Alternate Currency; and

               (b) after each of its Euro-Dollar Loans has been repaid, all payments of principal which would
otherwise be applied to repay such Euro-Dollar Loans shall be applied to repay its Base Rate Loans
instead, and

               (c) Borrower will not be required to make any payment which would otherwise be required by
Section 2.14 with respect to such Euro-Dollar Loans converted to Base Rate Loans pursuant to clause
(a) above.

66

 

          SECTION 9.2. No Waivers. No failure or delay by the Administrative Agent or any Bank in
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any Note 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 herein
provided shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

          SECTION 9.3. Expenses; Indemnification.

               (a) The Borrower shall pay within thirty (30) days after written notice from the
Administrative Agent, (i) all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative
Agent (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of special counsel Skadden,
Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP ), in connection with the preparation of this Agreement, the Loan
Documents and the documents and instruments referred to therein, and any waiver or consent
hereunder or any amendment hereof or any Default or alleged Default hereunder, (ii) all reasonable
fees and disbursements of special counsel in connection with the syndication of the Loans, and
(iii) if an Event of Default occurs, all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the
Administrative Agent and each Bank, including, without limitation, fees and disbursements of
counsel for the Administrative Agent and each of the Banks, in connection with the enforcement of
the Loan Documents and the instruments referred to therein and such Event of Default and
collection, bankruptcy, insolvency and other enforcement proceedings resulting therefrom; provided,
however, that the attorneys’ fees and disbursements for which Borrower is obligated under this
subsection (a)(iii) shall be limited to the reasonable non-duplicative fees and disbursements of
(A) counsel for Administrative Agent and (B) counsel for all of the Banks as a group; and provided,
further, that all other costs and expenses for which Borrower is obligated under this subsection
(a)(iii) shall be limited to the reasonable non-duplicative costs and expenses of Administrative
Agent. For purposes of this Section 9.3(a)(iii), (1) counsel for Administrative Agent shall mean a
single outside law firm representing Administrative Agent and (2) counsel for all of the Banks as a
group shall mean a single outside law firm representing such Banks as a group (which law firm may
or may not be the same law firm representing the Administrative Agent).

               (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Bank, their respective
affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing (each an
“Indemnitee”) and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses,
damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any
investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding that may at any time (including, without
limitation, at any time following the payment of the Obligations) be asserted against any
Indemnitee, as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to or by reason of, (i) any of
the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents or the execution, delivery or performance of
any Loan Document, (ii) any violation by the Borrower or the Environmental Affiliates of any
applicable Environmental Law, (iii) any Environmental Claim arising out of the management, use,
control, ownership or operation of property or assets by the Borrower or any of the Environmental
Affiliates, including, without limitation, all on-site and off-site activities of Borrower or any
Environmental Affiliate involving Materials of Environmental Concern, (iv) the breach of any
environmental representation or warranty set forth herein, but excluding those

67

 

liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (a) for which such Indemnitee has been
compensated pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, (b) incurred solely by reason of the gross
negligence, willful misconduct bad faith or fraud of any Indemnitee as finally determined by a
court of competent jurisdiction, (c) arising from violations of Environmental Laws relating to a
Property which are caused by the act or omission of such Indemnitee after such Indemnitee takes
possession of such Property or (d) owing by such Indemnitee to any third party based upon
contractual obligations of such Indemnitee owing to such third party which are not expressly set
forth in the Loan Documents. In addition, the indemnification set forth in this Section 9.3(b) in
favor of any director, officer, agent or employee of Administrative Agent or any Bank shall be
solely in their respective capacities as such director, officer, agent or employee. The Borrower’s
obligations under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of
the Obligations. Without limitation of the other provisions of this Section 9.3, Borrower shall
indemnify and hold each of the Administrative Agent and the Banks free and harmless from and
against all loss, costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), expenses, taxes, and
damages (including consequential damages) that the Administrative Agent and the Banks may suffer or
incur by reason of the investigation, defense and settlement of claims and in obtaining any
prohibited transaction exemption under ERISA or the Code necessary in the Administrative Agent’s
reasonable judgment by reason of the inaccuracy of the representations and warranties, or a breach
of the provisions, set forth in Section 4.6(b).

          SECTION 9.4. Sharing of Set-Offs. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under
applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of any such rights, upon the occurrence
and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Bank is hereby authorized at any time or
from time to time, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind to the Borrower
or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but subject to the prior
consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to set off
and to appropriate and apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional
or final) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Bank (including, without
limitation, by branches and agencies of such Bank wherever located) to or for the credit or the
account of the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower against and on account of the Obligations of the
Borrower or any Qualified Borrower then due and payable to such Bank under this Agreement or under
any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, all interests in Obligations
purchased by such Bank. Each Bank agrees that if it shall by exercising any right of set-off or
counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and
interest due with respect to any Note held by it, which is greater than the proportion received by
any other Bank, the Bank receiving such proportionately greater payment shall purchase such
participations in the Notes held by the other Banks, and such other adjustments shall be made, as
may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Notes held
by the Banks shall be shared by the Banks pro rata; provided that nothing in this Section shall
impair the right of any Bank to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have to any
deposits not received in connection with the Loans and to apply the amount subject to such exercise
to the payment of indebtedness of the Borrower or Qualified Borrower other than its indebtedness
under the Notes. The Borrower, for itself and on behalf of any Qualified Borrower, agrees, to the
fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in
a Note, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of
set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such
holder of a

68

 

participation were a direct creditor of the Borrower or the applicable Qualified Borrower in the
amount of such participation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Bank
may, by separate agreement with the Borrower or a Qualified Borrower, waive its right to set off
contained herein or granted by law and any such written waiver shall be effective against such Bank
under this Section 9.4.

          SECTION 9.5. Amendments and Waivers. (a) Any provision of this Agreement or the Notes or
other Loan Documents may be amended or waived if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in
writing and is signed by the Borrower and the Majority Banks (and, if the rights or duties of the
Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent in their capacity as Administrative Agent or
Syndication Agent, as applicable, are affected thereby, by the Administrative Agent or the
Syndication Agent, as applicable, which shall be deemed to include Section 9.16); provided that no
amendment or waiver with respect to this Agreement, the Notes or any other Loan Documents shall,
unless signed by all the Banks, (i) increase or decrease the Commitment of any Bank (except for a
ratable decrease in the Commitments of all Banks) or subject any Bank to any additional obligation,
(ii) reduce the principal of or rate of interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder, (iii) postpone
the date fixed for any payment of principal of or interest on any Loan or any fees hereunder or for
any reduction or termination of any Commitment, (iv) change the percentage of the Commitments or of
the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Notes, or the number of Banks, which shall be required
for the Banks or any of them to take any action under this Section or any other provision of this
Agreement, (v) release the Guaranty or any Qualified Borrower Guaranty, or (vi) modify the
provisions of this Section 9.5.

               (b) The provisions in Sections 5.1, 5.8 through 5.14 and 6.1(b) through (r) of this Agreement,
as well as the definition of “Applicable Margin” (the language contained therein other than with
respect to the actual margins) and “Investment Grade Rating”, contain essentially the same
provisions with respect to the Guarantor and the Borrower as those contained in Sections 5.1, 5.8
through 5.14 and 6.1(b) through (r) of the Third Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement
(the “Revolver”), dated as of June 1, 2006, among Borrower, the Administrative Agent, as
administrative agent, and the other banks party thereto and in such definition of the Revolver (the
“AMB Revolver Provisions”). In the event that the Borrower or the Administrative Agent under the
Revolver propose to modify, waive or restate, or request a consent or approval with respect to, the
AMB Revolver Provisions (and related definitions) (other than a change limited to the actual
margins) of the Revolver in writing (which may include a written waiver of an existing actual or
potential Default or Event of Default that is intended to be eliminated by such modification,
restatement or waiver) (individually, a “Covenant Modification”), then simultaneously with
the agreement to or granting of such Covenant Modification under the Revolver, this Agreement shall
be deemed modified or restated, or waiver, consent or approval granted, in a manner consistent with
the Covenant Modifications under the Revolver If requested by Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower, the Guarantor, the Administrative Agent and each Bank shall execute and
deliver a written amendment to, restatement of, or waiver, consent or approval under, this
Agreement memorializing such modification, restatement, waiver, consent or approval. In addition,
the Borrower will be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent and the Banks the same fee as the
Borrower shall pay to the agents and the lenders under the Revolver in connection with such
modification, restatement, waiver, consent or approval.

69

 

          SECTION 9.6. Successors and Assigns.

               (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower may not assign
or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents without
the prior written consent of all Banks and the Administrative Agent and a Bank may not assign or
otherwise transfer any of its interest under this Agreement except as permitted in subsection (b)
and (c) of this Section 9.6.

               (b) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, any Bank may at any time, grant to an
existing Bank, one or more banks, finance companies, insurance companies or other financial
institutions which, in the case of the granting of a participation in any Loan denominated in Yen,
are Qualified Institutional Investors (a “Participant”) in minimum amounts of not less than
$5,000,000 (or any lesser amount in the case of participations to an existing Bank) participating
interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans. After the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, any Bank may at any time grant to any Person in any amount
(also a “Participant”), participating interests in its Commitment or any or all of its Loans. Any
participation made during the continuation of an Event of Default shall not be affected by the
subsequent cure of such Event of Default. In the event of any such grant by a Bank of a
participating interest to a Participant, whether or not upon notice to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, such Bank shall remain responsible for the performance of its obligations
hereunder, and the Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall continue to deal solely and directly
with such Bank in connection with such Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any
agreement pursuant to which any Bank may grant such a participating interest shall provide that
such Bank shall retain the sole right and responsibility to enforce the obligations of the Borrower
hereunder including, without limitation, the right to approve any amendment, modification or waiver
of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such participation agreement may provide that
such Bank will not agree to any modification, amendment or waiver of this Agreement described in
clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) of Section 9.5 without the consent of the Participant. The
Borrower agrees that each Participant shall, to the extent provided in its participation agreement,
be entitled to the benefits of Article VIII with respect to its participating interest.

               (c) Any Bank may at any time assign to a Qualified Institution which, in the case of any
assignment of any Loan denominated in Yen, is also a Qualified Institutional Investor (in each
case, an “Assignee”) (i) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, in minimum amounts of not
less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000) and integral multiple of One Million Dollars
($1,000,000) thereafter (or any lesser amount in the case of assignments to an existing Bank) and
(ii) after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in any amount, all or
a proportionate part of all, of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the
other Loan Documents, and, in either case, such Assignee shall assume such rights and obligations,
pursuant to a Transfer Supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit “B” hereto executed by such
Assignee and such transferor Bank; provided, that such assignment shall be subject to the
Administrative Agent’s consent and, provided that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Borrower’s consent, which consents shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;
and provided further that if an Assignee is an affiliate of such transferor Bank or was a Bank
immediately prior to such assignment, no such consent of

70

 

Borrower shall be required. Upon execution and delivery of such instrument and payment by
such Assignee to such transferor Bank of an amount equal to the purchase price agreed between such
transferor Bank and such Assignee, such Assignee shall be a Bank party to this Agreement and shall
have all the rights and obligations of a Bank with a Commitment as set forth in such instrument of
assumption, and no further consent or action by any party shall be required and the transferor Bank
shall be released from its obligations hereunder to a corresponding extent. Upon the consummation
of any assignment pursuant to this subsection (c), the transferor Bank, the Administrative Agent
and the Borrower shall make appropriate arrangements so that, if required, a new Note is issued to
the Assignee. In connection with any such assignment (other than an assignment by a Bank to an
affiliate), the transferor Bank shall pay to the Administrative Agent an administrative fee for
processing such assignment in the amount of $3,500. If the Assignee is not incorporated under the
laws of the United States of America or a state thereof, it shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent certification as to exemption from deduction or withholding of any United
States federal income taxes in accordance with Section 8.4. Any assignment made during the
continuation of an Event of Default shall not be affected by any subsequent cure of such Event of
Default.

               (d) Any Bank may at any time assign all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement and
its Note, to a Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the transferor Bank from its
obligations hereunder.

               (e) No Assignee, Participant or other transferee of any Bank’s rights shall be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 8.3 or 8.4 than such Bank would have been entitled to
receive with respect to the rights transferred, unless such transfer is made with the Borrower’s
prior written consent or by reason of the provisions of Section 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 requiring such Bank
to designate a different Applicable Lending Office under certain circumstances or at a time when
the circumstances giving rise to such greater payment did not exist.

               (f) No Assignee of any rights and obligations under this Agreement shall be permitted to
further assign less than all of such rights and obligations. No participant in any rights and
obligations under this Agreement shall be permitted to sell subparticipations of such rights and
obligations.

               (g) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, so long as no Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, no Bank shall be permitted to enter into an assignment of,
or sell a participation interest in, its rights and obligations hereunder which would result in
such Bank holding a Commitment without participants of less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000)
(or in the case of each of the Administrative Agent or the Syndication Agent, Ten Million Dollars
($10,000,000)) unless as a result of a cancellation or reduction of the aggregate Commitments;
provided, however, that no Bank shall be prohibited from assigning its entire Commitment so long as
such assignment is otherwise permitted under this Section 9.6.

          SECTION 9.7. Collateral. Each of the Banks represents to the Administrative Agent and each
of the other Banks that it in good faith is not relying upon any “margin stock” (as

71

 

defined in Regulation U) as collateral in the extension or maintenance of the credit provided for
in this Agreement.

          SECTION 9.8. Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Judgment Currency. (a) THIS
AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER AND
THEREUNDER SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE PRINCIPLES THEREOF RELATING TO CONFLICTS OF LAW).

               (b) Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement or any other Loan Document
and any action for enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof may be brought in the courts of
the State of New York or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York,
and, by execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Borrower hereby accepts for itself and in
respect of its property and each Qualified Borrower, generally and unconditionally, the
non-exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts and appellate courts from any thereof. The
Borrower irrevocably consents, for itself and each Qualified Borrower, to the service of process
out of any of the aforementioned courts in any such action or proceeding by the hand delivery, or
mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to the Borrower or
Qualified Borrower at its address set forth below. The Borrower hereby irrevocably waives, for
itself and each Qualified Borrower, any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the laying
of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this
Agreement or any other Loan Document brought in the courts referred to above and hereby further
irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action or
proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Nothing herein
shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent to serve process in any other manner permitted
by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Borrower or a Qualified
Borrower in any other jurisdiction.

               (c) If for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert a sum due
hereunder in one currency into another currency, the parties hereto agree, to the fullest extent
that they may effectively do so under applicable law, that the rate of exchange used shall be the
spot rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the first currency could be
purchased in New York City with such other currency by the person obtaining such judgment on the
Business Day preceding that on which final judgment is given.

               (d) The parties agree, to the fullest extent that they may effectively do so under applicable
law, that the obligations of the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower to make payments in any
currency of the principal of and interest on the Loans of the Borrower and any Qualified Borrower
and any other amounts due from the Borrower or any Qualified Borrower hereunder to the
Administrative Agent as provided herein (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or
any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with Section 9.8(c)),
in any currency other than the relevant currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery
shall result in the actual receipt by the Administrative Agent at its relevant office on behalf of
the Banks of the full amount of the relevant currency expressed to be payable in respect of the
principal of and interest on the Loans and all other amounts due hereunder (it being assumed for
purposes of this clause (i) that the Administrative Agent will

72

 

convert any amount tendered or recovered into the relevant currency on the date of such tender
or recovery), (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the
purpose of recovering in the relevant currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt
shall fall short of the full amount of the relevant currency so expressed to be payable and (iii)
shall not be affected by an unrelated judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this
Agreement.

          SECTION 9.9. Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be signed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the
signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement and understanding among the parties hereto and supersedes any and all prior agreements
and understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall
become effective upon receipt by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower of counterparts hereof
signed by each of the parties hereto (or, in the case of any party as to which an executed
counterpart shall not have been received, receipt by the Administrative Agent in form satisfactory
to it of telegraphic, telex or other written confirmation from such party of execution of a
counterpart hereof by such party).

          SECTION 9.10. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE
SYNDICATION AGENT AND THE BANKS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY
LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED
HEREBY.

          SECTION 9.11. Survival. All indemnities set forth herein shall survive the execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the making and repayment of the Loans
hereunder.

          SECTION 9.12. Domicile of Loans. Each Bank may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for
the account of any domestic or foreign branch office, subsidiary or affiliate of such Bank.

          SECTION 9.13. Limitation of Liability. No claim may be made by the Borrower or any other
Person acting by or through Borrower against the Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent or any
Bank or the affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agent of any of them for any
punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability
arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or by the other Loan
Documents, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith; and the Borrower
hereby, for itself and each Qualified Borrower, waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any
claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist
in its favor.

          SECTION 9.14. Recourse Obligation. This Agreement and the Obligations hereunder are fully
recourse to the Borrower and fully recourse to each Qualified Borrower but only to the extent of
the amount of the Loans to each such Qualified Borrower, as evidenced by its Note or Qualified
Borrower Undertaking. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no recourse under or upon any obligation,
covenant, or agreement contained in this Agreement shall be had against

73

 

(i) any officer, director, shareholder or employee of the Borrower or General Partner or (ii) any
general partner of Borrower other than General Partner, in each case except in the event of fraud
or misappropriation of funds on the part of such officer, director, shareholder or employee or such
general partner.

          SECTION 9.15. Confidentiality. The Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Joint
Lead Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners and each Bank shall use reasonable efforts to assure that
information about Borrower, General Partner and its Subsidiaries and Investment Affiliates, and the
Properties thereof and their operations, affairs and financial condition, not generally disclosed
to the public, which is furnished to Administrative Agent, the Syndication Agent, the Joint Lead
Arrangers and Joint Bookrunners or any Bank pursuant to the provisions hereof or any other Loan
Document is used only for the purposes of this Agreement and shall not be divulged to any Person
other than the Administrative Agent, the Banks, and their affiliates and respective officers,
directors, employees and agents who are actively and directly participating in the evaluation,
administration or enforcement of the Loan and other transactions between such Bank and the
Borrower, except: (a) to their attorneys and accountants, (b) in connection with the enforcement
of the rights and exercise of any remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Banks hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents, (c) in connection with assignments and participations and the
solicitation of prospective assignees and participants referred to in Section 9.6 hereof, who have
agreed in writing to be bound by a confidentiality agreement substantially equivalent to the terms
of this Section 9.15, and (d) as may otherwise be required or requested by any regulatory authority
having jurisdiction over the Administrative Agent or any Bank or by any applicable law, rule,
regulation or judicial process (but only to the extent not in violation, conflict or inconsistent
with the applicable regulatory requirement, request, summons or subpoena); provided, however, that
in the event a Bank receives a summons or subpoena to disclose confidential information to any
party, such Bank shall, if legally permitted, endeavor to notify Borrower thereof as soon as
possible after receipt of such request, summons or subpoena and Borrower shall be afforded an
opportunity to seek protective orders, or such other confidential treatment of such disclosed
information, as Borrower and Administrative Agent may deem reasonable.

          SECTION 9.16. Defaulting Lenders.

               (a) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Bank becomes a
Defaulting Lender, then for so long as such Bank is a Defaulting Lender: the Commitment and Loans
of such Defaulting Lender shall not be included in determining whether all Banks or the Required
Banks have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver
pursuant to Section 9.5), provided that any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent
of all Banks or each affected Banks which affects such Defaulting Lender differently than other
affected Banks shall require the consent of such Defaulting Lender.

               (b) If any Lender shall fail to make any payment required to be made by it pursuant to
Sections 2.5(d), 2.13 (b) or 9.3(b), then the Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and
notwithstanding any contrary provision hereof, (i) apply any amounts thereafter received by the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Bank and for the benefit of the Administrative Agent
to satisfy such Bank’s obligations under such Sections until all such

74

 

unsatisfied obligations are fully paid, and/or (ii) hold any such amounts in a segregated
account as cash collateral for, and application to, any future funding obligations of such Bank
under such Sections; in the case of each of (i) and (ii) above, in any order as determined by the
Administrative Agent in its discretion.”

          SECTION 9.17. Banks’ ERISA Covenant. Each Bank, by its signature hereto or on the
applicable Transfer Supplement, hereby agrees (a) that on the date any Loan is disbursed hereunder
no portion of such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of such Loan will constitute “assets” within the meaning
of 29 C.F.R.§2510.3-101 of an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA
or a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code, and (b) that following such date
such Bank shall not allocate such Bank’s Pro Rata Share of any Loan to an account of such Bank if
such allocation (i) by itself would cause such Pro Rata Share of such Loan to then constitute
“assets” (within the meaning of 29 C.F.R.§2510.3-101) of an “employee benefit plan” within the
meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA or a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code
and (ii) by itself would cause such Loan to constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the
Code (which is not exempt from the restrictions of Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the
Code and the taxes and penalties imposed by Section 4975 of the Code and Section 502(i) of ERISA)
or any Agent or Bank being deemed in violation of Section 404 of ERISA.

          SECTION 9.18. Intentionally Omitted.

          SECTION 9.19. Optional Increase in Commitments. At any time prior to the date that is the
second anniversary of this Agreement, provided no Event of Default shall have occurred and then be
continuing, the Borrower may, if it so elects, increase the aggregate amount of the Commitments
(subject to proviso (b) in the next sentence), either by designating a Qualified Institution not
theretofore a Bank to become a Bank (such designation to be effective only with the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) and/or by
agreeing with an existing Bank or Banks that such Bank’s Commitment shall be increased. Upon
execution and delivery by the Borrower and such Bank or other financial institution of an
instrument in form reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, such existing Bank shall
have a Commitment as therein set forth or such Qualified Institution shall become a Bank with a
Commitment as therein set forth and all the rights and obligations of a Bank with such a Commitment
hereunder; provided that:

               (a) the Borrower shall provide prompt notice of such increase to the Administrative Agent, who
shall promptly notify the Banks; and

               (b) the amount of such increase, together with all other increases in the aggregate amount of
the Commitments pursuant to this Section 9.19 since the date of this Agreement, does not cause the
Facility Amount to exceed $425,000,000.

Upon any increase in the aggregate amount of the Commitments pursuant to this Section 9.19, within
five Business Days (in the case of any Base Rate Loans then outstanding) or at the end of the then
current Interest Period with respect thereto (in the case of any Euro-Dollar Loans then
outstanding), as applicable, each Bank’s Pro Rata Share shall be recalculated to reflect such
increase in the Commitments and the outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall be

75

 

reallocated among the Banks such that the outstanding principal amount of Loans owed to each Bank
shall be equal to such Bank’s Pro Rata Share (as recalculated). All payments, repayments and other
disbursements of funds by the Administrative Agent to Banks shall thereupon and, at all times
thereafter be made in accordance with each Bank’s recalculated Pro Rata Share.

          SECTION 9.20. Managing Agents, Documentation Agents and Co-Agents. Each of the Borrower,
the Agents and each Bank acknowledges and agrees that (a) the obligations of the Managing Agents,
the Documentation Agents and the Co-Agent hereunder shall be limited to those obligations that are
expressly set forth herein, if any, and the Managing Agents, Documentation Agents and Co-Agent
shall not be required to take any action or assume any liability except as may be required in each
of their capacity as a Bank hereunder, and (b) the indemnifications set forth herein for the
benefit of the Agents shall also run to the benefit of the Managing Agents, the Documentation
Agents and the Co-Agent to the extent any of them incurs any loss, cost or damage arising from its
capacity as a Managing Agent, Documentation Agent or a Co-Agent.

          SECTION 9.21. USA PATRIOT Act. Each Bank hereby notifies the Borrower that pursuant to the
requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26,
2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the
Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other information
that will allow such Bank to identify the Borrower in accordance with the Act.

          SECTION 9.22. Sumitomo Ceasing to be a Qualified Institutional Investor.

               (a) Each Bank holding Loans denominated in Yen (each a “Yen Bank”) agrees that it shall
immediately provide notice to the Administrative Agent and Borrower upon its receipt of knowledge
that it will cease to be a Qualified Institutional Investor pursuant to the applicable laws of
Japan.

               (b) In the event that during the Term any Yen Bank ceases to be a Qualified Institutional
Investor (such Bank, a “Non-QII Bank”), (i) it shall immediately provide notice thereof to the
Administrative Agent and Borrower (to the extent it has not already provided such notice pursuant
to 9.22(a) above) and (ii) regardless of whether it has actually delivered any such notice to the
Administrative Agent and/or Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall have the immediate right, and
shall use best efforts, to cause such Non-QII Bank to assign to a Qualified Institutional Investor
all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents in
accordance with Section 9.6(c), subject to the terms and conditions of Section 9.6, as applicable.

               (c) In the event the Administrative Agent is unable to cause the assignment of the Non-QII
Bank’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, the Notes and the other Loan Documents,
Borrower shall have the right at any time to pay in full the Loans of such Non-QII Bank. If, upon
payment in full of the Loans of such Non-QII Bank denominated in Yen, such Non-QII Bank does not
have any further Loans outstanding hereunder, such Non-QII Bank shall cease to be a Bank hereunder.

76

 

               (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Borrower or applicable
Qualified Borrower shall have the right at any time to pay in full the Loans denominated in Yen of
any Non-Qii Bank.

77

 

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be duly executed by their
respective authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

of this Guaranty or of any notice or demand to which Guarantor might otherwise be entitled
(including, without limitation, diligence, presentment, notice of maturity, extension of time,
change in nature or form of the Guaranteed Obligations, acceptance of further security, release of
further security, imposition or agreement arrived at as to the amount of or the terms of the
Guaranteed Obligations, notice of adverse change in Borrower’s financial condition and any other
fact which might materially increase the risk to Guarantor), all of which Guarantor hereby
expressly waives; and Guarantor hereby expressly agrees that the validity of this Guaranty and the
obligations of Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected, diminished, modified or
impaired by reason of the assertion of or the failure to assert by the Administrative Agent or any
of the Banks against Borrower or its respective successors or assigns, any of the rights or
remedies reserved to the Administrative Agent or any of the Banks pursuant to the provisions of the
Loan Documents. Guarantor agrees that any notice or directive given at any time to the
Administrative Agent or any of the Banks which is inconsistent with the waiver in the immediately
preceding sentence shall be void and may be ignored by the Administrative Agent and the Banks, and,
in addition, may not be pleaded or introduced as evidence in any litigation relating to this
Guaranty for the reason that such pleading or introduction would be at variance with the written
terms of this Guaranty, unless the Administrative Agent has specifically agreed otherwise in a
writing, signed by a duly authorized officer. Guarantor specifically acknowledges and agrees that
the foregoing waivers are of the essence of this transaction and that, but for this Guaranty and
such waivers, the Administrative Agent and the Banks would not make the requested Loan to the
Borrower.

          3. Guarantor waives, and covenants and agrees that it will not at any time insist upon, plead
or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any and all appraisal,
valuation, stay, extension, marshaling-of-assets or redemption laws, or right of homestead or
exemption, whether now or at any time hereafter in force, which may delay,

 

 

prevent or otherwise affect the performance by Guarantor of its obligations under, or the
enforcement by the Administrative Agent or any of the Banks of, this Guaranty. Guarantor further
covenants and agrees not to set up or claim any defense, counterclaim, offset, setoff or other
objection of any kind to any action, suit or proceeding in law, equity or otherwise, or to any
demand or claim that may be instituted or made by the Administrative Agent or any of the Banks
other than the defense of the actual timely payment and performance by Borrower of the Guaranteed
Obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not be deemed a waiver of
Guarantor’s right to assert any compulsory counterclaim, if such counterclaim is compelled under
local law or rule of procedure, nor shall the foregoing be deemed a waiver of Guarantor’s right to
assert any claim which would constitute a defense, setoff, counterclaim or crossclaim of any nature
whatsoever against Administrative Agent or any Bank in any separate action or proceeding.
Guarantor represents, warrants and agrees that, as of the date hereof, its obligations under this
Guaranty are not subject to any counterclaims, offsets or defenses against the Administrative Agent
or any Bank of any kind.

          4. The provisions of this Guaranty are for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the
Banks and their successors and permitted assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair as
between Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the Banks the obligations of Borrower under the
Loan Documents.

          5. This Guaranty shall be a continuing, unconditional and absolute guaranty and the liability
of Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be terminated, affected, modified, impaired or diminished by
reason of the happening, from time to time, of any of the following, all without notice or the
further consent of Guarantor:

     (a) any assignment, amendment, modification or waiver of or change in any of the terms,
covenants, conditions or provisions of any of the Guaranteed Obligations or the Loan
Documents or the invalidity or unenforceability of any of the foregoing; or

     (b) any extension of time that may be granted by the Administrative Agent to Borrower,
any guarantor, or their respective successors or assigns, heirs, executors, administrators
or personal representatives; or

     (c) any action which the Administrative Agent may take or fail to take under or in
respect of any of the Loan Documents or by reason of any waiver of, or failure to enforce
any of the rights, remedies, powers or privileges available to the Administrative Agent
under this Guaranty or available to the Administrative Agent at law, equity or otherwise, or
any action on the part of the Administrative Agent granting indulgence or extension in any
form whatsoever; or

     (d) any sale, exchange, release, or other disposition of any property pledged,
mortgaged or conveyed, or any property in which the Administrative Agent and/or the Banks
have been granted a lien or security interest to secure any indebtedness of Borrower to the
Administrative Agent and/or the Banks; or

 

 

     (e) any release of any person or entity who may be liable in any manner for the payment
and collection of any amounts owed by Borrower to the Administrative Agent and/or the Banks;
or

     (f) the application of any sums by whomsoever paid or however realized to any amounts
owing by Borrower to the Administrative Agent and/or the Banks under the Loan Documents in
such manner as the Administrative Agent shall determine in its sole discretion; or

     (g) Borrower’s or Guarantor’s voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale
of all or substantially all of their respective assets and liabilities, appointment of a
trustee, receiver, liquidator, sequestrator or conservator for all or any part of Borrower’s
or Guarantor’s assets, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors,
reorganization, arrangement, composition or readjustment, or the commencement of other
similar proceedings affecting Borrower or Guarantor or any of the assets of any of them,
including, without limitation, (i) the release or discharge of Borrower or any guarantor
from the payment and performance of their respective obligations under any of the Loan
Documents by operation of law, or (ii) the impairment, limitation or modification of the
liability of Borrower or any guarantor in bankruptcy, or of any remedy for the enforcement
of the Guaranteed Obligations under any of the Loan Documents, or any guarantor’s liability
under this Guaranty, resulting from the operation of any present or future provisions of the
Bankruptcy Code or other present or future federal, state or applicable statute or law or
from the decision in any court; or

     (h) any improper disposition by Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans, it being
acknowledged by Guarantor that the Administrative Agent or any Bank shall be entitled to
honor any request made by Borrower for a disbursement of such proceeds and that neither the
Administrative Agent nor any Bank shall have any obligation to see the proper disposition by
Borrower of such proceeds.

          6. Guarantor agrees that if at any time all or any part of any payment at any time received by
the Administrative Agent from Borrower or Guarantor under or with respect to this Guaranty is or
must be rescinded or returned by the Administrative Agent or any Bank for any reason whatsoever
(including, without limitation, the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Borrower or
Guarantor), then Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall, to the extent of the payment rescinded or
returned, be deemed to have continued in existence notwithstanding such previous receipt by such
party, and Guarantor’s obligations hereunder shall continue to be effective or reinstated, as the
case may be, as to such payment, as though such previous payment had never been made.

          7. Until this Guaranty is terminated pursuant to the terms hereof, Guarantor (i) shall have no
right of subrogation against Borrower or any entity comprising same by reason of any payments or
acts of performance by Guarantor in compliance with the obligations of Guarantor hereunder, (ii)
waives any right to enforce any remedy which Guarantor now or hereafter shall have against Borrower
or any entity comprising same by reason of any one or more payment or acts of performance in
compliance with the obligations of Guarantor hereunder and (iii) from and after an Event of Default
(as defined in the Credit Agreement), subordinates

 

 

any liability or indebtedness of Borrower or any entity comprising same now or hereafter held
by Guarantor or any affiliate of Guarantor to the obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents.
The foregoing, however, shall not be deemed in any way to limit any rights that Guarantor may have
pursuant to the Agreement of Limited Partnership of Borrower or which it may have at law or in
equity with respect to any other partners of Borrower.

          8. Guarantor represents and warrants to the Administrative Agent and the Banks with the
knowledge that the Administrative Agent and the Banks are relying upon the same, as follows:

     (a) as of the date hereof, Guarantor is the sole general partner of Borrower;

     (b) based upon such relationships, Guarantor has determined that it is in its best
interests to enter into this Guaranty;

     (c) this Guaranty is necessary and convenient to the conduct, promotion and attainment
of Guarantor’s business, and is in furtherance of Guarantor’s business purposes;

     (d) the benefits to be derived by Guarantor from Borrower’s access to funds made
possible by the Loan Documents are at least equal to the obligations undertaken pursuant to
this Guaranty;

     (e) Guarantor is solvent and has full power and legal right to enter into this Guaranty
and to perform its obligations under the term hereof and (i) Guarantor is organized and
validly existing under the laws of the State of Maryland, (ii) Guarantor has complied with
all provisions of applicable law in connection with all aspects of this Guaranty, and (iii)
the person executing this Guaranty has all the requisite power and authority to execute and
deliver this Guaranty;

     (f) to the best of Guarantor’s knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding, or
investigation pending or threatened against or affecting Guarantor at law, in equity, in
admiralty or before any arbitrator or any governmental department, commission, board,
bureau, agency or instrumentality (domestic or foreign) which is likely to materially and
adversely impair the ability of Guarantor to perform its obligations under this Guaranty;

     (g) the execution and delivery of and the performance by Guarantor of its obligations
under this Guaranty have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of
Guarantor and do not (i) violate any provision of any law, rule, regulation (including,
without limitation, Regulation U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System of the United States), order, writ, judgment, decree, determination or award
presently in effect having applicability to Guarantor or the organizational documents of
Guarantor the consequences of which violation is likely to materially and adversely impair
the ability of Guarantor to perform its obligations under this Guaranty or (ii) violate or
conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or lapse of time or
both) a default under any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which Guarantor is a
party, or by which Guarantor or any of its property is bound, the consequences of which
violation, conflict, breach or default is likely to

 

 

materially and adversely impair the ability of Guarantor to perform its obligations
under this Guaranty;

     (h) this Guaranty has been duly executed by Guarantor and constitutes the legal, valid
and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms
except as enforceability may be limited by applicable insolvency, bankruptcy or other laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally or general principles of equity, whether such
enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law;

     (i) no authorization, consent, approval, license or formal exemption from, nor any
filing, declaration or registration with, any Federal, state, local or foreign court,
governmental agency or regulatory authority is required in connection with the making and
performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty, except those which have already been obtained;
and

     (j) Guarantor is not an “investment company” as that term is defined in, nor is it
otherwise subject to regulation under, the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

          9. Guarantor and Administrative Agent each acknowledge and agree that this Guaranty is a
guarantee of payment and performance and not of collection and enforcement in respect of any
obligations which may accrue to the Administrative Agent and/or the Banks from Borrower under the
provisions of any Loan Document.

          10. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, and in conjunction therewith,
the Administrative Agent or any Bank may assign any or all of its rights under this Guaranty. In
the event of any such assignment, the Administrative Agent shall give Guarantor prompt notice of
same. If the Administrative Agent elects to sell all the Loans or participations in the Loans and
the Loan Documents, including this Guaranty, the Administrative Agent or any Bank may forward to
each purchaser and prospective purchaser all documents and information relating to this Guaranty or
to Guarantor, whether furnished by Borrower or Guarantor or otherwise, subject to the terms and
conditions of the Credit Agreement.

          11. Guarantor agrees, upon the written request of the Administrative Agent, to execute and
deliver to the Administrative Agent, from time to time, any modification or amendment hereto or any
additional instruments or documents reasonably considered necessary by the Administrative Agent or
its counsel to cause this Guaranty to be, become or remain valid and effective in accordance with
its terms, provided, that, any such modification, amendment, additional instrument or document
shall not increase Guarantor’s obligations or diminish its rights hereunder and shall be reasonably
satisfactory as to form to Guarantor and to Guarantor’s counsel.

          12. The representations and warranties of Guarantor set forth in this Guaranty shall survive
until this Guaranty shall terminate in accordance with the terms hereof.

          13. This Guaranty contains the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements relating to such subject

 

 

matter and may not be modified, amended, supplemented or discharged except by a written
agreement signed by Guarantor and the Administrative Agent.

          14. If all or any portion of any provision contained in this Guaranty shall be determined to
be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, such provision or portion
thereof shall be deemed stricken and severed from this Guaranty and the remaining provisions and
portions thereof shall continue in full force and effect.

          15. This Guaranty may be executed in counterparts which together shall constitute the same
instrument.

          16. All notices, requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing
(including bank wire, telex, facsimile transmission followed by telephonic confirmation or similar
writing) and shall be addressed to such party at the address set forth below or to such other

          Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by telex or

          17. Any acknowledgment or new promise, whether by payment of principal or interest or
otherwise by Borrower or Guarantor, with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations shall, if the
statute of limitations in favor of Guarantor against the Administrative Agent shall have commenced
to run, toll the running of such statute of limitations, and if the period of such statute of
limitations shall have expired, prevent the operation of such statute of limitations.

          18. This Guaranty shall be binding upon Guarantor and its successors and assigns and shall
inure to the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Banks and their successors and permitted
assigns.

          19. The failure of the Administrative Agent to enforce any right or remedy hereunder, or
promptly to enforce any such right or remedy, shall not constitute a waiver thereof, nor give rise
to any estoppel against the Administrative Agent, nor excuse Guarantor from its obligations
hereunder. Any waiver of any such right or remedy to be enforceable against the Administrative
Agent must be expressly set forth in a writing signed by the Administrative Agent.

          20. (a) THIS GUARANTY AND THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     (b) Any legal action or proceeding with respect to this Guaranty and any action for
enforcement of any judgment in respect thereof may be brought in the courts of the State of
New York or of the United States of America for the Southern District of New York, and, by
execution and delivery of this Guaranty, the Guarantor hereby accepts for itself and in
respect of its property, generally and unconditionally, the non-exclusive jurisdiction of
the aforesaid courts and appellate courts from any thereof. The Guarantor

 

 

irrevocably consents to the service of process out of any of the aforementioned courts
in any such action or proceeding by the mailing of copies thereof by registered or certified
mail, postage prepaid, to the Guarantor at its address for notices set forth herein. The
Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any objection which it may now or hereafter have to the
laying of venue of any of the aforesaid actions or proceedings arising out of or in
connection with this Guaranty brought in the courts referred to above and hereby further
irrevocably waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action
or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. Nothing
herein shall affect the right of the Administrative Agent to serve process in any other
manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the
Guarantor in any other jurisdiction.

     (c) GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY AND ALL CLAIMS OR CAUSES
OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY. IT IS HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGED BY
GUARANTOR THAT THE WAIVER OF A JURY TRIAL IS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT TO ACCEPT THIS GUARANTY AND THAT THE LOANS MADE BY THE BANKS ARE MADE IN RELIANCE UPON
SUCH WAIVER. GUARANTOR FURTHER WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT SUCH WAIVER HAS BEEN KNOWINGLY
AND VOLUNTARILY MADE, FOLLOWING CONSULTATION WITH LEGAL COUNSEL. IN THE EVENT OF
LITIGATION, THIS GUARANTY MAY BE FILED BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT IN COURT AS A WRITTEN
CONSENT TO A NON-JURY TRIAL.

     (d) Guarantor does hereby further covenant and agree to and with the Administrative
Agent that Guarantor may be joined in any action against Borrower in connection with the
Loan Documents and that recovery may be had against Guarantor in such action or in any
independent action against Guarantor (with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations), without
the Administrative Agent first pursuing or exhausting any remedy or claim against Borrower
or its successors or assigns. Guarantor also agrees that, in an action brought with respect
to the Guaranteed Obligations in any jurisdiction, it shall be conclusively bound by the
judgment in any such action by the Administrative Agent (wherever brought) against Borrower
or its successors or assigns, as if Guarantor were a party to such action, even though
Guarantor was not joined as a party in such action.

     (e) Guarantor agrees to pay all reasonable expenses (including, without limitation,
attorneys’ fees and disbursements) which may be incurred by the Administrative Agent or the
Banks in connection with the enforcement of their rights under this Guaranty, whether or not
suit is initiated.

          21. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Guaranty shall terminate
and be of no further force or effect upon the full performance and payment of the Guaranteed
Obligations hereunder. Upon termination of this Guaranty in accordance with the terms of this
Guaranty, the Administrative Agent promptly shall deliver to Guarantor such

 

 

documents as Guarantor or Guarantor’s counsel reasonably may request in order to evidence such
termination.

          22. All of the Administrative Agent’s rights and remedies under each of the Loan Documents or
under this Guaranty are intended to be distinct, separate and cumulative and no such right or
remedy therein or herein mentioned is intended to be in exclusion of or a waiver of any other right
or remedy available to the Administrative Agent.

          23. The Guarantor shall not use any assets of an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of
Section 3(3) of ERISA or a “plan” within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Internal Revenue
Code (the “Code”) to repay or secure the Loan, the Note, the Obligations or this Guaranty. The
Guarantor shall not assign, sell, pledge, encumber, transfer, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of
any of its rights or interests (direct or indirect) in Borrower, or attempt to do any of the
foregoing or suffer any of the foregoing, or permit any party with a direct or indirect interest or
right in Borrower to do any of the foregoing, if such action would cause the Note, the Loan, the
Obligations, this Guaranty, or any of the Loan Documents or the exercise of any of the
Administrative Agent’s or Bank’s rights in connection therewith, to constitute a prohibited
transaction under ERISA or the Code (unless the Guarantor furnishes to the Administrative Agent a
legal opinion satisfactory to the Administrative Agent that the transaction is exempt from the
prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code (and for this purpose, the Administrative
Agent and the Banks, by accepting the benefits of this Guaranty, hereby agree to supply Guarantor
all relevant non-confidential, factual information reasonably necessary to such legal opinion and
reasonably requested by Guarantor) or would otherwise result in the Administrative Agent or any of
the Banks being deemed in violation of Sections 404 or 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or
would otherwise result in the Administrative Agent or any of the Banks being a fiduciary or party
in interest under ERISA or a “disqualified person” as defined in Section 4975(e)(2) of the Code
with respect to an “employee benefit plan” within the meaning of Section 3(3) of ERISA or a “plan”
within the meaning of Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code. The Guarantor shall indemnify and hold each
of the Administrative Agent and the Banks free and harmless from and against all loss, costs
(including attorneys’ fees and expenses), expenses, taxes and damages (including consequential
damages) that each of the Administrative Agent and the Banks may suffer by reason of the
investigation, defense and settlement of claims and in obtaining any prohibited transaction
exemption under ERISA necessary in Administrative Agent’s reasonable judgment as a result of
Guarantor’s action or inaction or by reason of a breach of the foregoing provisions by Guarantor.
