ARTICLE II

AMOUNTS AND TERMS OF THE ADVANCES

AND THE LETTERS OF CREDIT

     SECTION 2.01 The Advances and the Letters of Credit.

          (a) The Revolving Credit A Advances. The Revolving Credit A Facility results from the
bifurcation of the Revolving Credit Facility under the Existing Agreement and consists of a tranche
of the Advances outstanding thereunder in the aggregate principal amount of $38,000,000, the terms
of which have been modified by this Agreement to comprise the Revolving Credit A Facility. The
Revolving Credit A Commitments shall be deemed to have been fully funded as of the Effective Date
(the “Revolving Credit A Advance”). No additional Advances in respect of the Revolving Credit A
Facility shall be permitted hereunder. Amounts borrowed or deemed borrowed under this
Section 2.01(a) and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

          (b) The Revolving Credit B Advances. The Revolving Credit B Facility results from the
bifurcation of the Revolving Credit Facility under the Existing Agreement and consists of a tranche
of the Advances outstanding thereunder in the aggregate principal amount of $29,289,245, the terms
of which have been modified by this Agreement to comprise the Revolving Credit B Facility.
Specifically, the Revolving Credit B Facility consists of (i) Revolving Credit B Advances in the
aggregate principal amount of $25,000,000, and (ii) Letters of Credit in the aggregate Available
Amount of $4,289,245. The Revolving Credit B Commitments hereunder shall be deemed to have been
fully funded as of the Effective Date. Each Revolving Credit B Lender severally agrees, on the
terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, to make advances (each a “Revolving Credit B Advance”)
to the Borrower from time to time on any Business Day during the period from the Effective Date
until the Termination Date, in respect of the Revolving Credit B Facility in an amount for each
such Advance not to exceed such Lender’s Unused Revolving Credit B Commitment at such time. Each
Revolving Credit B Borrowing shall be in an aggregate amount of not less than $500,000 or an
integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof (other than the initial Borrowing to fund the L/C
Collateral Account pursuant to Section 3.01(k), a Borrowing the proceeds of which shall be used
solely to repay or prepay in full outstanding Letter of Credit Advances or a Borrowing comprised
solely of Base Rate Advances) and shall consist of Revolving Credit B Advances made simultaneously
by the Revolving Credit B Lenders ratably according to their Revolving Credit B Commitments.
Within the limits of each Revolving Credit B Lender’s Unused Revolving Credit B Commitment in
effect from time to time, and subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 2.14 and 3.02, the
Borrower may borrow under this Section 2.01(b), prepay pursuant to Section 2.06(a) and reborrow
under this Section 2.01(b). No more than one Revolving Credit B Advance shall be available per
week. On the Effective Date, the Lenders shall make Revolving Credit B Advances

25

 

in an aggregate amount sufficient to fund the L/C Collateral Account pursuant to Section
3.01(k), and such Revolving Credit B Advances shall be deposited directly into the L/C Collateral
Account.

          (c) [Intentionally Omitted].

          (d) The Letters of Credit. No additional letters of credit (the “Letters of Credit”)
shall be available under this Agreement from and after the Effective Date. All Existing Letters of
Credit, as listed on Schedule III attached hereto, shall be deemed to have been issued as Letters
of Credit hereunder, and from and after the Effective Date shall be subject to and governed by the
terms and conditions of this Agreement. No Existing Letter of Credit shall have an expiration date
later than the 30th day before the Termination Date (without reference to any extension options).
In the event that the expiration date of any Existing Letter of Credit may be automatically
extended beyond the 30th day before the Termination Date (without reference to any extension
options) pursuant to the terms of such Existing Letter of Credit, the Administrative Agent is
hereby permitted to send a notice to the Borrower and the beneficiary of the applicable Letter of
Credit notifying the Borrower and such beneficiary that the Administrative Agent has elected not to
extend the expiration date of such Existing Letter of Credit. On the Effective Date, the Lenders
shall make Revolving Credit B Advances in an amount approved by the Issuing Bank as sufficient to
cash collateralize 100% of the Available Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the
Effective Date, and such Revolving Credit B Advances shall be deposited into the L/C Collateral
Account in compliance with Section 3.01(k).

     SECTION 2.02 Making the Advances. (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.03,
each Borrowing shall be made on notice by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent, which shall
give to each Appropriate Lender prompt notice thereof by telex or telecopier. Each such notice of
a Borrowing (a “Notice of Borrowing”) in respect of a Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be given not
later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the
proposed Borrowing, and each Notice of Borrowing in respect of a Base Rate Advance shall be given
not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the Business Day immediately prior to the date of
the proposed Borrowing. Each Notice of Borrowing shall be by telephone, confirmed immediately in
writing, or electronic mail (containing the Notice of Borrowing as an electronic attachment
containing a hand-written signature, confirmed immediately by telephone or telecopier) or
telecopier, in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto, specifying therein the requested
(i) date of such Borrowing, (ii) Type of Advance comprising such Borrowing, and (iii) aggregate
amount of such Borrowing. Each Appropriate Lender shall, before 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on
the date of such Borrowing, make available for the account of its Applicable Lending Office to the
Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account, in same day funds, such Lender’s
ratable portion of such Borrowing in accordance with the respective Commitments under the Revolving
Credit Facility of such Lender and the other Appropriate Lenders. After the Administrative Agent’s
receipt of such funds and upon fulfillment of the applicable conditions set forth in Article III,
the Administrative Agent will make such funds available to the Borrower by crediting the Borrower’s
Account.

          (b) [Intentionally Omitted].

          (c) Anything in subsection (a) above to the contrary notwithstanding, (i) the Borrower may not
select Eurodollar Rate Advances for any Borrowing if the aggregate amount of such Borrowing is less
than $500,000 or if the obligation of the Appropriate Lenders to make Eurodollar Rate Advances
shall then be suspended pursuant to Section 2.09 or 2.10 and (ii) no more than eight separate
Interest Periods shall be permitted at any one time.

          (d) Each Notice of Borrowing shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower. In the case of
any Borrowing that the related Notice of Borrowing specifies is to be comprised of Eurodollar

26

 

Rate Advances, the Borrower shall indemnify each Appropriate Lender against any loss, cost or
expense incurred by such Lender as a result of any failure to fulfill on or before the date
specified in such Notice of Borrowing for such Borrowing the applicable conditions set forth in
Article III, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated profits), cost
or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds
acquired by such Lender to fund the Advance to be made by such Lender as part of such Borrowing
when such Advance, as a result of such failure, is not made on such date.

          (e) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from an Appropriate Lender
prior to the date of any Borrowing under a Facility under which such Lender has a Commitment that
such Lender will not make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s ratable portion of
such Borrowing, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such portion
available to the Administrative Agent on the date of such Borrowing in accordance with
subsection (a) of this Section 2.02 and the Administrative Agent may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding amount. If and to the
extent that such Lender shall not have so made such ratable portion available to the Administrative
Agent, such Lender and the Borrower severally agree to repay or pay to the Administrative Agent
forthwith on demand such corresponding amount and to pay interest thereon, for each day from the
date such amount is made available to the Borrower until the date such amount is repaid or paid to
the Administrative Agent, at (i) in the case of the Borrower, the interest rate applicable at such
time under Section 2.07 to Advances comprising such Borrowing and (ii) in the case of such Lender,
the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent such corresponding
amount, such amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Advance as part of such Borrowing for
all purposes.

          (f) The failure of any Lender to make the Advance to be made by it as part of any Borrowing
shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make its Advance on the
date of such Borrowing, but no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to
make the Advance to be made by such other Lender on the date of any Borrowing.

     SECTION 2.03 Drawings and Reimbursement Under Letters of Credit. (a) [Intentionally
Omitted.]

          (b) Letter of Credit Reports. Promptly after amendment of any Letter of Credit the
Issuing Bank shall notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, in writing, of such amendment
and such notice shall be accompanied by a copy of such amendment. Upon receipt of such notice, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender, in writing, of such amendment and if so
requested by a Lender, the Administrative Agent shall provide such Lender with copies of such
amendment. The Issuing Bank shall furnish to the Administrative Agent (unless the Issuing Bank
shall be the Administrative Agent), by facsimile on the first Business Day of each month, a written
report summarizing the aggregate daily Available Amounts for Letters of Credit during the preceding
month.

          (c) Letter of Credit Participations; Drawing and Reimbursement. (i) The Issuing Bank
is hereby deemed to have sold and transferred to each Revolving Credit B Lender, and each Revolving
Credit B Lender (in its capacity under this Section 2.03(c), a “Participant”) is hereby deemed
irrevocably and unconditionally to have purchased and received from the Issuing Bank, without
recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in each Letter of Credit, to the
extent of such Participant’s Pro Rata Share of the Available Amount of such Letter of Credit, each
drawing or payment made thereunder and the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with
respect thereto, and any security therefor or guaranty pertaining thereto. Upon any change in the
Revolving Credit B Commitments or the Revolving Credit B Lenders’ respective Pro Rata Shares
pursuant to Section 9.07, it is hereby agreed that, with respect to all outstanding Letters of
Credit and unpaid drawings relating thereto, there shall be an

27

 

automatic adjustment to the participations pursuant to this Section 2.03(c) to reflect the new
Pro Rata Shares of the assignor and assignee Revolving Credit B Lenders, as the case may be.

          (ii) In determining whether to pay under any Letter of Credit, the Issuing Bank shall not have
any obligation with respect to the other Revolving Credit B Lenders other than to confirm that any
documents required to be delivered under such Letter of Credit appear to have been delivered and
that they appear to substantially comply on their face with the requirements of such Letter of
Credit. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Issuing Bank under or in connection with
any Letter of Credit issued by it shall not create for the Issuing Bank any resulting liability to
the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any Revolving Credit B Lender or any other Person unless such
action is taken or omitted to be taken with gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of
the Issuing Bank (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final non-appealable
judgment).

          (iii) The payment by the Issuing Bank of a draft drawn under any Letter of Credit shall
constitute for all purposes of this Agreement the making by the Issuing Bank of a Letter of Credit
Advance, which shall be a Base Rate Advance, in the amount of such draft. In the event that the
Issuing Bank shall make any payment under any Letter of Credit issued by it, all funds on deposit
in the L/C Collateral Account shall be exhausted or otherwise unavailable, and the Borrower shall
not have reimbursed any unpaid portion of such payment in full to the Issuing Bank pursuant to
Section 2.04(d), the Issuing Bank shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, which shall
promptly notify each Participant of such failure, and each Participant shall promptly and
unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank the amount of
such Participant’s Pro Rata Share of such unreimbursed payment in U.S. dollars and in same day
funds. Upon such notification by the Administrative Agent to any Participant required to fund a
payment under a Letter of Credit, such Participant shall make available to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Issuing Bank such Participant’s Pro Rata Share of the amount of such payment
in same day funds (x) if notified prior to 12:00 Noon (New York time) on any Business Day, on such
Business Day, and (y) if notified at or after 12:00 Noon (New York time) on any Business Day, on
the following Business Day. If such Participant shall pay to the Administrative Agent such amount
for the account of the Issuing Bank on any Business Day, such amount so paid in respect of
principal shall constitute a Letter of Credit Advance made by such Participant on such Business Day
for purposes of this Agreement, and the outstanding principal amount of the Letter of Credit
Advance made by the Issuing Bank shall be reduced by such amount on such Business Day. If and to
the extent such Participant shall not have so made its Pro Rata Share of the amount of such payment
available to the Administrative Agent, such Participant agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Issuing Bank, forthwith on demand such amount, together with interest
thereon, for each day from such date until the date such amount is paid to the Administrative Agent
at the Federal Funds Rate. The failure of any Participant to make available to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank its Pro Rata Share of any payment under any Letter of
Credit shall not relieve any other Participant of its obligation hereunder to make available to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank its Pro Rata Share of any payment under
any Letter of Credit on the date required, as specified above, but no Participant shall be
responsible for the failure of any other Participant to make available to the Administrative Agent
such other Participant’s Pro Rata Share of any such payment.

          (iv) Whenever the Issuing Bank receives a payment of a reimbursement obligation as to which it
has received any payments from the Participants pursuant to clause (iii) above, the Issuing Bank
shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of each such Participant that has paid its
Pro Rata Share thereof, in same day funds, an amount equal to such Participant’s share (based upon
the proportionate aggregate amount originally funded by such Participant to the aggregate amount
funded by all Participants) of the principal amount of such reimbursement obligation and interest
thereon accruing after the purchase of the respective participations.

28

 

          (v) Upon the request of any Participant, the Issuing Bank shall furnish to such Participant
copies of any standby Letter of Credit issued by it and such other documentation as may reasonably
be requested by such Participant.

     SECTION 2.04 Repayment of Advances. (a) Revolving Credit A Advances. The
Borrower shall repay, on the Termination Date, to the Administrative Agent for the ratable account
of the Revolving Credit A Lenders the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit A Advances
then outstanding.

          (b) Revolving Credit B Advances. The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative Agent
for the ratable account of the Revolving Credit B Lenders on the Termination Date in respect of the
Revolving Credit B Facility the aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit B Advances then
outstanding.

          (c) [Intentionally Omitted].

          (d) Letter of Credit Advances. (i) The Borrower shall repay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank and each other Revolving Credit B Lender that has made a
Letter of Credit Advance on the earlier of demand and the Termination Date in respect of the
Revolving Credit B Facility the outstanding principal amount of each Letter of Credit Advance made
by each of them.

          (ii) The Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement, any Letter of Credit Agreement and
any other agreement or instrument relating to any Letter of Credit, and the obligations of the
Participants to make payments to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Issuing Bank in
respect of Letters of Credit, shall be unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, such Letter of Credit Agreement and such other
agreement or instrument under all circumstances, including, without limitation, the following
circumstances:

     (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, any Letter of
Credit Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any other agreement or instrument relating
thereto (all of the foregoing being, collectively, the “L/C Related Documents”);

     (B) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term
of, all or any of the Obligations of the Borrower in respect of any L/C Related
Document or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or
any of the L/C Related Documents;

     (C) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or other right that the
Borrower may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of a Letter
of Credit (or any Persons for which any such beneficiary or any such transferee may
be acting), any Issuing Bank or any other Person, whether in connection with the
transactions contemplated by the L/C Related Documents or any unrelated transaction;

     (D) any statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit
proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any
statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect;

     (E) payment by any Issuing Bank under a Letter of Credit against presentation
of a draft, certificate or other document that does not strictly comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit;

29

 

     (F) any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or other
collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from
the Guaranties or any other guarantee, for all or any of the Obligations of the
Borrower in respect of the L/C Related Documents; or

     (G) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to
any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, any other circumstance that
might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower
or a guarantor;

provided, however, that nothing herein waives the Issuing Bank’s liability with respect to errors,
omissions, interruptions, delays in transmission, dispatch or delivery of any message, payment or
advice relating to any Letter of Credit that has been determined in a final and non-appealable
decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful
misconduct of the Issuing Bank.

          (iii) To the extent of funds available in the L/C Collateral Account, the Administrative Agent
for the account of the Issuing Bank and each other Revolving Credit B Lender shall use such funds
to repay each Letter of Credit Advance promptly following the making of such Advance. If at any
time the funds remaining in the L/C Collateral Account exceed the sum of the aggregate amount of
all Letter of Credit Advances then outstanding and the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of
Credit then outstanding, such excess shall be first applied to prepay outstanding Revolving Credit
A Advances until the aggregate amount of Revolving Credit A Advances then outstanding shall be
reduced to zero, second applied to prepay outstanding Revolving Credit B Advances until the
aggregate amount of Revolving Credit B Advances then outstanding shall be reduced to zero, and
third, at such time as no Advances remain outstanding, returned to the Borrower promptly following
demand.

     SECTION 2.05 Termination or Reduction of the Commitments. (a) Optional. The
Borrower may, upon at least five Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, terminate in
whole or reduce in part the unused portions of the Revolving Credit A Commitments, the Letter of
Credit Facility and the Unused Revolving Credit B Commitments; provided, however, that each partial
reduction of a Facility (i) shall be in an aggregate amount of $500,000 or an integral multiple of
$100,000 in excess thereof and (ii) shall be made ratably among the Appropriate Lenders in
accordance with their Commitments with respect to such Facility.

          (b) Mandatory. (i) From time to time upon each repayment or prepayment of the
Revolving Credit A Advances, the aggregate Revolving Credit A Commitments of the Revolving Credit A
Lenders shall be automatically and permanently reduced, on a pro rata basis, by an amount equal to
the amount by which the aggregate Revolving Credit A Commitments immediately prior to such
reduction exceed the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Revolving Credit A Advances then
outstanding (after giving effect to any such repayment or prepayment thereof).

          (ii) The Letter of Credit Facility shall be permanently reduced from time to time on the date
of each reduction in the Revolving Credit B Facility by the amount, if any, by which the amount of
the Letter of Credit Facility exceeds the Revolving Credit B Facility after giving effect to such
reduction of the Revolving Credit B Facility.

     SECTION 2.06 Prepayments. (a) Optional. The Borrower may, upon at least
three Business Days’ notice to the Administrative Agent, stating the proposed date and aggregate
principal amount of the prepayment, and if such notice is given the Borrower shall, prepay the
outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Advances comprising part of the same Borrowing in
whole or ratably in part, together with

30

 

accrued interest to the date of such prepayment on the aggregate principal amount prepaid;
provided, however, that each partial prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of
$500,000 or an integral multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof. Each such prepayment of Advances
shall be allocated among the Applicable Lenders on a pro rata basis.

          (b) Mandatory Prepayment of the Revolving Credit B Advances. (i) The Borrower shall,
on each Business Day, prepay an aggregate principal amount of the Revolving Credit B Advances
comprising part of the same Borrowings and the Letter of Credit Advances in an amount equal to the
amount by which (A) the sum of the aggregate principal amount of (x) the Revolving Credit B
Advances, and (y) the Letter of Credit Advances then outstanding plus the aggregate Available
Amount of all Letters of Credit then outstanding exceeds (B) the Revolving Credit B Facility on
such Business Day.

          (ii) [Intentionally Omitted].

          (iii) Prepayments of the Revolving Credit B Facility made pursuant to clause (i) above shall
be applied to prepay Revolving Credit B Advances then outstanding comprising part of the same
Borrowings until such Advances are paid in full. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for
which funds are on deposit in the L/C Collateral Account, such funds shall be promptly applied to
pay the corresponding Letter of Credit Advance made by the Issuing Bank or Revolving Credit B
Lenders, as applicable.

Control, prepay in full the aggregate principal amount of the Facilities then outstanding.

          (d) Payments with Interest. All prepayments under subsections (b), (c) and (e) of
this Section 2.06 shall be made together with (i) accrued interest to the date of such prepayment
on the principal amount prepaid, and (ii) if any payment of a Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be made
other than on the last day of an Interest Period therefor, any amounts owing pursuant to Section
9.04(c).

          (e) Other Mandatory Prepayment Events. (i) The Borrower shall on or before the
30th day following the end of each calendar month, prepay an aggregate principal amount
of the Revolving Credit B Advances (and, to the extent the Revolving Credit B Advances shall be
reduced to zero, prepay outstanding Revolving Credit A Advances) comprising part of the same
Borrowings in an amount equal to all Adjusted Excess Cash Flow for such calendar month; provided,
however, that from and after a Prepayment Failure Event, the Borrower shall be entitled to utilize
Adjusted Excess Cash Flow to make Interim Mandatory Amortization Prepayments, as and to the extent
necessary to make such prepayments when due, and such utilization shall not be deemed a breach of
this Section 2.06(e).

          (ii) The Borrower shall be required to prepay outstanding Revolving Credit A Advances (and, to
the extent the Revolving Credit A Facility shall be reduced to zero, prepay outstanding Revolving
Credit B Advances) by the Applicable Paydown Percentage of Net Cash Proceeds resulting from any of
the following (each, a “Mandatory Prepayment Event”):

     (A) the sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any assets owned by the
Borrower or its Subsidiaries;

     (B) the conversion of Investments held by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries into cash or Cash Equivalents;

     (C) any refund for Taxes paid received by the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries;

31

 

     (D) any direct or indirect public offering of or private placement of any
Equity Interests (including Preferred Interests) by or in the Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries;

     (E) the issuance by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any Debt
securities (including mortgages, mortgage bonds and any Debt expected to be included
in or contributed to a commercial mortgage-backed securities issuance, a
collateralized debt obligation or a collateralized loan obligation), whether placed
publicly or privately; and

     (F) any other transaction or event occurring outside of the ordinary course of
business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries;

provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, (x) with respect to any Net Cash Proceeds
received by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries in connection with (i) the consummation of the
sale or other disposition (whether direct or indirect) of any of the Real Property Assets or (ii)
the Borrower’s United States federal tax refund for 2008 of $10,205,424, such Net Cash proceeds
shall be applied first to prepay outstanding Revolving Credit B Advances until the aggregate
principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Credit B Advances has been reduced to zero, and
second to prepay outstanding Revolving Credit A Advances; and (y) the Borrower shall prepay
outstanding Revolving Credit B Advances in a principal amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash
Proceeds received from the sale or other disposition by GERA Danbury LLC of all real property owned
or held by it by June 1, 2009, unless such date is extended with the approval of the Administrative
Agent and the Required Lenders; provided further that in the event the Borrower is not in
compliance with the Recapitalization Plan at the time of the sale or other disposition of real
property by GERA Danbury LLC, then 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such sale shall be applied
first to prepay outstanding Revolving Credit A Advances until the aggregate principal of all
outstanding Revolving Credit A Advances has been reduced to zero, and second to prepay outstanding
Revolving Credit B Advances.

          (iii) The Borrower shall be required to prepay (the “Mandatory Amortization Payment”) a
portion of the Revolving Credit A Facility in an amount and by the date specified in Schedule
2.06(e)(iii) (the “Mandatory Amortization Date”); provided, however, that if the Borrower shall
fail to make such Mandatory Amortization Payment in the amount and by the date specified in
Schedule 2.06(e)(iii) by reason of not having sufficient cash or Cash Equivalents on hand (a
"Prepayment Failure Event”), provided, however, notwithstanding any provision herein to the
contrary, such Prepayment Failure Event shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder.

          (iv) In the event there occurs a Prepayment Failure Event, the following shall apply:

     (A) the Termination Date shall not extend beyond January 15, 2010 (as provided
in the definition thereof in Section 1.01) and the Termination Date extension option
provided pursuant to Section 2.17 shall be of no further force and effect;

     (B) on the first Business Day of each of the calendar months October 2009,
November 2009 and December 2009, the Borrower shall be required to prepay a portion
of the Revolving Credit A Facility in the amount of $3,333,333.33 on each such date
(the “Interim Mandatory Amortization Payments”), and the failure to make any such
prepayment on the applicable due date therefor shall comprise an immediate Event of
Default;

     (C) not later than the date of a Prepayment Failure Event, the Borrower shall
furnish to the Administrative Agent and the Lender Parties a revised consolidated,

32

 

detailed monthly budget prepared on a line-item basis for the calendar months
October 2009 through January 2010, together with a cash balance report (showing
day-end balances) showing the net cash flow projected for the period covered thereby
(the “Revised Approved Budget”), in detail, form and substance satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders, which Revised Approved Budget shall
(i) provide for the making of Interim Mandatory Amortization Payments out of
Adjusted Excess Cash Flow, and (ii) show operating cash flow from the business
operations of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries for each of the periods covered
thereby in amounts not less than the respective amounts of operating cash flow shown
for such periods in the Approved Budget in effect on the Effective Date. The
Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders shall review the Revised Approved
Budget after receipt thereof and Borrower shall promptly make any and all changes as
Administrative Agent or the Required Lenders may request. As soon as available,
Borrower shall provide to the Lenders significant revisions, if any, to the Revised
Approved Budget. Any amendments to or replacements of the Revised Approved Budget
shall be required to be approved by the Administrative Agent and the Required
Lenders; and

     (D) no additional Advances shall be permitted to be drawn by the Borrower under
the Facility from and after the occurrence of a Prepayment Failure Event.

     SECTION 2.07 Interest. (a) Scheduled Interest. The Borrower shall pay
interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance owing to each Lender from the date of such
Advance until such principal amount shall be paid in full, at the following rates per annum:

     (i) Base Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a Base Rate
Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times to the sum of the Base Rate in effect from time
to time plus the Applicable Margin, payable in arrears monthly on the first day of each
month during such periods and on the date such Base Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid
in full.

     (ii) Eurodollar Rate Advances. During such periods as such Advance is a
Eurodollar Rate Advance, a rate per annum equal at all times during each Interest Period for
such Advance to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period for such Advance
plus the Applicable Margin, payable in arrears on the last day of such Interest Period and
on the date such Eurodollar Rate Advance shall be Converted or paid in full.

          (b) Default Interest. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of
Default, the Administrative Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, require
that the Borrower pay interest (“Default Interest”) on (i) the unpaid principal amount of each
Advance owing to each Lender Party, payable in arrears on the dates referred to in clause (i) or
(ii) of Section 2.07(a), as applicable, and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to 5%
per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid on such Advance pursuant to clause (i) or
(ii) of Section 2.07(a), as applicable, and (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
the amount of any interest, fee or other expense reimbursement payable under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party that is not paid when due, from
the date such amount shall be due until such amount shall be paid in full, payable in arrears on
the date such amount shall be paid in full and on demand, at a rate per annum equal at all times to
5% per annum above the rate per annum required to be paid, in the case of interest, on the Type of
Advance on which such interest has accrued pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of Section 2.07(a), as
applicable, and, in all other cases, on Base Rate Advances pursuant to clause (i) of Section
2.07(a); provided, however, that following the acceleration of the Advances, or the giving of
notice by the Administrative Agent to accelerate the Advances, pursuant to Section 6.01, Default
Interest shall accrue and be payable hereunder whether or not previously required by the
Administrative Agent.

33

 

          (c) Notice of Interest Period and Interest Rate. Promptly after receipt of a Notice
of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.02(a), a notice of Conversion pursuant to Section 2.09 or a
notice of selection of an Interest Period pursuant to the terms of the definition of “Interest
Period”, the Administrative Agent shall give notice to the Borrower and each Appropriate Lender of
the applicable Interest Period and the applicable interest rate determined by the Administrative
Agent for purposes of clause (a)(i) or (a)(ii) above.

     SECTION 2.08 Fees. (a) Unused Commitment Fees. The Borrower shall pay to
the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders the following unused commitment fees, from
the date hereof in the case of each Initial Lender and from the effective date specified in the
Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it became a Lender in the case of each other Lender, in
each case until the Termination Date, payable in arrears monthly on the last day of each calendar
month, commencing May 31, 2009, and on the Termination Date in respect of the applicable Facility
an unused revolving commitment fee at the rate of 0.75% per annum of the average daily Unused
Revolving Credit B Commitment of each Appropriate Lender during such month; provided, however, that
any unused commitment fee accrued with respect to any of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender
during the period prior to the time such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and unpaid at such time
shall not be payable by the Borrower so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender except to
the extent that such unused commitment fee shall otherwise have been due and payable by the
Borrower prior to such time; and provided further that no unused commitment fee shall accrue on any
of the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender so long as such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender.

          (b) [Intentionally Omitted].

          (c) Fees to the Administrative Agent. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative
Agent for its own account such fees as may from time to time be agreed between the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent.

          (d) Restatement Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the
account and ratable benefit of the Lenders, an amendment fee equal to 1% of the sum of the
Revolving Credit Commitments on the Effective Date.

     SECTION 2.09 Conversion of Advances. (a) Optional. The Borrower may on any
Business Day, upon notice given to the Administrative Agent not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City
time) on the third Business Day prior to the date of the proposed Conversion and subject to the
provisions of Sections 2.07 and 2.10, Convert all or any portion of the Advances of one Type
comprising the same Borrowing into Advances of the other Type; provided, however, that any
Conversion of Eurodollar Rate Advances into Base Rate Advances shall be made only on the last day
of an Interest Period for such Eurodollar Rate Advances, any Conversion of Base Rate Advances into
Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be in an amount not less than the minimum amount specified in
Section 2.02(c), no Conversion of any Advances shall result in more separate Borrowings than
permitted under Section 2.02(c) and each Conversion of Advances comprising part of the same
Borrowing under any Facility shall be made ratably among the Appropriate Lenders in accordance with
their Commitments under such Facility. Each such notice of Conversion shall, within the
restrictions specified above, specify (i) the date of such Conversion, (ii) the Advances to be
Converted and (iii) if such Conversion is into Eurodollar Rate Advances, the duration of the
initial Interest Period for such Advances. Each notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable and
binding on the Borrower.

          (b) Mandatory. (i) On the date on which the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
Eurodollar Rate Advances comprising any Borrowing shall be reduced, by payment or prepayment or
otherwise, to less than $1,000,000, such Advances shall automatically Convert into Base Rate
Advances.

34

 

          (ii) If the Borrower shall fail to select the duration of any Interest Period for any
Eurodollar Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions contained in the definition of “Interest
Period” in Section 1.01, the Administrative Agent will forthwith so notify the Borrower and the
Appropriate Lenders, whereupon each such Eurodollar Rate Advance will automatically, on the last
day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance.

          (iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default, (x) each Eurodollar Rate
Advance will automatically, on the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert
into a Base Rate Advance and (y) the obligation of the Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances
into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be suspended.

     SECTION 2.10 Increased Costs, Etc. (a) If, due to either (i) the introduction of or
any change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation or (ii) the compliance with any
guideline or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having
the force of law), there shall be any increase in the cost to any Lender Party of agreeing to make
or of making, funding or maintaining Eurodollar Rate Advances or of maintaining or participating in
Letters of Credit or of agreeing to make or of making or maintaining Letter of Credit Advances
(excluding, for purposes of this Section 2.10, any such increased costs resulting from (x) Taxes or
Other Taxes (as to which Section 2.12 shall govern) and (y) changes in the basis of taxation of
overall net income or overall gross income by the United States or by the foreign jurisdiction or
state under the laws of which such Lender Party is organized or has its Applicable Lending Office
or any political subdivision thereof), then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by
such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), pay to the
Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party additional amounts sufficient to
compensate such Lender Party for such increased cost. A certificate as to the amount of such
increased cost, submitted to the Borrower by such Lender Party, shall be conclusive and binding for
all purposes, absent manifest error.

          (b) If any Lender Party determines that compliance with any law or regulation or any guideline
or request from any central bank or other governmental authority (whether or not having the force
of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such
Lender Party or any corporation controlling such Lender Party and that the amount of such capital
is increased by or based upon the existence of such Lender Party’s commitment to lend or
participate in Letters of Credit hereunder and other commitments of such type or the maintenance of
or participation in the Letters of Credit (or similar contingent obligations), then, upon demand by
such Lender Party or such corporation (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the
Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party, from time to
time as specified by such Lender Party, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender
Party in the light of such circumstances, to the extent that such Lender Party reasonably
determines such increase in capital to be allocable to the existence of such Lender Party’s
commitment to lend or to participate in Letters of Credit hereunder or to the maintenance of or
participation in any Letters of Credit. A certificate as to such amounts submitted to the Borrower
by such Lender Party shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

          (c) If, with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Advances under any Facility, Lenders owed at least
50% of the then aggregate unpaid principal amount thereof notify the Administrative Agent that the
Eurodollar Rate for any Interest Period for such Advances will not adequately reflect the cost to
such Lenders of making, funding or maintaining their Eurodollar Rate Advances for such Interest
Period, the Administrative Agent shall forthwith so notify the Borrower and the Appropriate
Lenders, whereupon (i) each such Eurodollar Rate Advance under such Facility will automatically, on
the last day of the then existing Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and
(ii) the obligation of the Appropriate Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar
Rate Advances shall be suspended

35

 

until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lenders have determined
that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist.

          (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the introduction of or any
change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation shall make it unlawful, or any central
bank or other governmental authority shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its
Eurodollar Lending Office to perform its obligations hereunder to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or
to continue to fund or maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances hereunder, then, on notice thereof and
demand therefor by such Lender to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) each
Eurodollar Rate Advance under each Facility under which such Lender has a Commitment will
automatically, upon such demand, Convert into a Base Rate Advance and (ii) the obligation of the
Appropriate Lenders to make, or to Convert Advances into, Eurodollar Rate Advances shall be
suspended until the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower that such Lender has determined
that the circumstances causing such suspension no longer exist; provided, however, that before
making any such demand, such Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts (consistent with its internal
policy and legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate a different Eurodollar Lending Office if
the making of such a designation would allow such Lender or its Eurodollar Lending Office to
continue to perform its obligations to make Eurodollar Rate Advances or to continue to fund or
maintain Eurodollar Rate Advances and would not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise
disadvantageous to such Lender.

     SECTION 2.11 Payments and Computations. (a) The Borrower shall make each payment
hereunder and under the Notes, irrespective of any right of counterclaim or set-off (except as
otherwise provided in Section 2.15), not later than 1:00 P.M. (New York City time) on the day when
due in U.S. dollars to the Administrative Agent at the Administrative Agent’s Account in same day
funds, with payments being received by the Administrative Agent after such time being deemed to
have been received on the next succeeding Business Day. The Administrative Agent will promptly
thereafter cause like funds to be distributed (i) if such payment by the Borrower is in respect of
principal, interest, unused commitment fees or any other Obligation then payable hereunder and
under the Notes to more than one Lender Party, to such Lender Parties for the account of their
respective Applicable Lending Offices ratably in accordance with the amounts of such respective
Obligations then payable to such Lender Parties and (ii) if such payment by the Borrower is in
respect of any Obligation then payable hereunder to one Lender Party, to such Lender Party for the
account of its Applicable Lending Office, in each case to be applied in accordance with the terms
of this Agreement. Upon its acceptance of an Assignment and Acceptance and recording of the
information contained therein in the Register pursuant to Section 9.07(d), from and after the
effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance, the Administrative Agent shall make all payments
hereunder and under the Notes in respect of the interest assigned thereby to the Lender Party
assignee thereunder, and the parties to such Assignment and Acceptance shall make all appropriate
adjustments in such payments for periods prior to such effective date directly between themselves.

          (b) The Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender Party and each of its Affiliates, if and to the
extent payment owed to such Lender Party is not made when due hereunder or, in the case of a
Lender, under the Note held by such Lender, to charge from time to time, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, against any or all of the Borrower’s accounts with such Lender Party or such
Affiliate any amount so due.

          (c) If the Administrative Agent receives funds for application to the Obligations under the
Loan Documents under circumstances for which the Loan Documents do not specify the Advances or the
manner in which such funds are to be applied, the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be
obligated to, elect to distribute such funds to each Lender Party ratably in accordance with the
amount of the Obligations then payable to such Lender Party, in repayment or prepayment of such of
the outstanding

36

 

Advances or other Obligations owed to such Lender Party, and for application to such principal
installments, as the Administrative Agent shall direct.

          (d) All computations of interest and of fees and Letter of Credit commissions shall be made by
the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 360 days (except that with respect to Base Rate
Advances such computations shall be made by the Administrative Agent on the basis of a year of 365
or 366 days, as the case may be), in all cases for the actual number of days (including the first
day but excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest, fees or
commissions are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate, fee
or commission hereunder shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

          (e) Whenever any payment hereunder or under the Notes shall be stated to be due on a day other
than a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such
extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of payment of interest or
commitment or letter of credit fees or commissions, as the case may be; provided, however, that if
such extension would cause any payment to be made in the next following calendar month, such
payment shall be made on the next preceding Business Day.

          (f) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the
date on which any payment is due to any Lender Party hereunder that the Borrower 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 such Lender Party on such due date an amount equal
to the amount then due such Lender Party. If and to the extent the Borrower shall not have so made
such payment in full to the Administrative Agent, each such Lender Party shall repay to the
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such amount distributed to such Lender Party together with
interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is distributed to such Lender Party until
the date such Lender Party repays such amount to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds
Rate.

     SECTION 2.12 Taxes. (a) Any and all payments by any Loan Party to or for the account
of any Lender Party or the Administrative Agent hereunder or under the Notes or any other Loan
Document shall be made, in accordance with Section 2.11 or the applicable provisions of such other
Loan Document, if any, free and clear of and without deduction for any and all present or future
taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect
thereto, excluding, in the case of each Lender Party and the Administrative Agent, taxes that are
imposed on its overall net income by the United States and taxes that are imposed on its overall
net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign jurisdiction under
the laws of which such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, is organized
or any political subdivision thereof and, in the case of each Lender Party, taxes that are imposed
on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the state or foreign
jurisdiction of such Lender Party’s Applicable Lending Office or any political subdivision thereof
(all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities in
respect of payments hereunder or under the Notes being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”). If any
Loan Party shall be required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable
hereunder or under any Note or any other Loan Document to any Lender Party or the Administrative
Agent, (i) the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as may be necessary so that after
such Loan Party and the Administrative Agent have made all required deductions (including
deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 2.12) such Lender Party 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) such Loan Party shall make all such deductions and
(iii) such Loan Party shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant taxation authority or
other authority in accordance with applicable law.

37

 

          (b) In addition, a Loan Party shall pay any present or future stamp, documentary, excise,
property, intangible, mortgage recording or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any
payment made by such Loan Party hereunder or under any Notes or any other Loan Documents or from
the execution, delivery or registration of, performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this
Agreement, the Notes or the other Loan Documents (hereinafter referred to as “Other Taxes”).

          (c) The Loan Parties shall indemnify each Lender Party and the Administrative Agent for and
hold them harmless against the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, and for the full amount of
taxes of any kind imposed or asserted by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this
Section 2.12, imposed on or paid by such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may
be) and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising
therefrom or with respect thereto. This indemnification shall be made within 30 days from the date
such Lender Party or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) makes written demand therefor.

          (d) Within 30 days after the date of any payment of Taxes, the appropriate Loan Party shall
furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 9.02, the original or a
certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment, to the extent such a receipt is issued
therefor, or other written proof of payment thereof that is reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent. In the case of any payment hereunder or under the Notes or the other Loan
Documents by or on behalf of a Loan Party through an account or branch outside the United States or
by or on behalf of a Loan Party by a payor that is not a United States person, if such Loan Party
determines that no Taxes are payable in respect thereof, such Loan Party shall furnish, or shall
cause such payor to furnish, to the Administrative Agent, at such address, an opinion of counsel
acceptable to the Administrative Agent stating that such payment is exempt from Taxes. For
purposes of subsections (d) and (e) of this Section 2.12, the terms “United States” and “United
States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code.

          (e) Each Lender Party organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States
shall, on or prior to the date of its execution and delivery of this Agreement in the case of each
Initial Lender Party and on the date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which it becomes
a Lender Party in the case of each other Lender Party, and from time to time thereafter as
reasonably requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long thereafter as such Lender Party
remains lawfully able to do so), provide each of the Administrative Agent and the Borrower with two
original Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8BEN or W-8EC1, as appropriate, or any successor or other
form prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service, certifying that such Lender Party is exempt from
or entitled to a reduced rate of United States withholding tax on payments pursuant to this
Agreement or the Notes or any other Loan Document. If the forms provided by a Lender Party at the
time such Lender Party first becomes a party to this Agreement indicate a United States interest
withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be considered excluded
from Taxes unless and until such Lender Party provides the appropriate forms certifying that a
lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate only shall be considered
excluded from Taxes for periods governed by such forms; provided, however, that if, at the
effective date of the Assignment and Acceptance pursuant to which a Lender Party becomes a party to
this Agreement, the Lender Party assignor was entitled to payments under subsection (a) of this
Section 2.12 in respect of United States withholding tax with respect to interest paid at such
date, then, to such extent, the term Taxes shall include (in addition to withholding taxes that may
be imposed in the future or other amounts otherwise includable in Taxes) United States withholding
tax, if any, applicable with respect to the Lender Party assignee on such date. If any form or
document referred to in this subsection (e) requires the disclosure of information, other than
information necessary to compute the tax payable and information required on the date hereof by
Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8EC1, that the applicable Lender Party reasonably
considers to be confidential, such

38

 

Lender Party shall give notice thereof to the Borrower and shall not be obligated to include
in such form or document such confidential information.

          (f) For any period with respect to which a Lender Party has failed to provide the Borrower
with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in subsection (e) above (other
than if such failure is due to a change in law, or in the interpretation or application thereof,
occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to
be provided or if such form, certificate or other document otherwise is not required under
subsection (e) above), such Lender Party shall not be entitled to indemnification under
subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 2.12 with respect to Taxes imposed by the United States by
reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Lender Party become subject to Taxes
because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, the
Loan Parties shall take such steps as such Lender Party shall reasonably request to assist such
Lender Party to recover such Taxes.

     SECTION 2.13 Sharing of Payments, Etc. If any Lender Party shall obtain at any time
any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off, or
otherwise, other than as a result of an assignment pursuant to Section 9.07) (a) on account of
Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party hereunder and under the Notes and the other Loan
Documents at such time in excess of its ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the
amount of such Obligations due and payable to such Lender Party at such time to (ii) the aggregate
amount of the Obligations due and payable to all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes and
the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments on account of the Obligations due and payable to
all Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes at such time obtained by all the Lender Parties at
such time or (b) on account of Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to such Lender Party
hereunder and under the Notes and the other Loan Documents at such time in excess of its ratable
share (according to the proportion of (i) the amount of such Obligations owing to such Lender Party
at such time to (ii) the aggregate amount of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all
Lender Parties hereunder and under the Notes and the other Loan Documents at such time) of payments
on account of the Obligations owing (but not due and payable) to all Lender Parties hereunder and
under the Notes at such time obtained by all of the Lender Parties at such time, such Lender Party
shall forthwith purchase from the other Lender Parties such interests or participating interests in
the Obligations due and payable or owing to them, as the case may be, as shall be necessary to
cause such purchasing Lender Party to share the excess payment ratably with each of them; provided,
however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such
purchasing Lender Party, such purchase from each other Lender Party shall be rescinded and such
other Lender Party shall repay to the purchasing Lender Party the purchase price to the extent of
such Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of (i) the purchase price paid to
such Lender Party to (ii) the aggregate purchase price paid to all Lender Parties) of such recovery
together with an amount equal to such Lender Party’s ratable share (according to the proportion of
(i) the amount of such other Lender Party’s required repayment to (ii) the total amount so
recovered from the purchasing Lender Party) of any interest or other amount paid or payable by the
purchasing Lender Party in respect of the total amount so recovered, provided further that so long
as the Obligations under the Loan Documents shall not have been accelerated, any excess payment
received by any Appropriate Lender shall be shared on a pro rata basis only with other Appropriate
Lenders. The Borrower agrees that any Lender Party so purchasing an interest or participating
interest from another Lender Party pursuant to this Section 2.13 may, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including the right of set-off) with respect
to such interest or participating interest, as the case may be, as fully as if such Lender Party
were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such interest or participating interest,
as the case may be.

     SECTION 2.14 Use of Proceeds. (a) The Revolving Credit A Facility results from the
bifurcation of the Revolving Credit Facility under the Existing Agreement and consists of a tranche
of the Advances outstanding thereunder in the aggregate principal amount of $38,000,000, the terms
of which

39

 

have been modified by this Agreement to comprise the Revolving Credit A Facility. No proceeds of
the Revolving Credit A Facility shall be available for any other purpose.

          (b) The proceeds of the Revolving Credit B Advances shall be available (and the Borrower
agrees that it shall use such proceeds) solely to pay (i) the costs and expenses of the transaction
contemplated under this Agreement, (ii) costs and expenses incurred by the Borrower and its
Subsidiaries in accordance with the Approved Budget, and (iii) to fund Permitted Cash Reserves.

          (c) For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the proceeds from any Facility be used (i)
to make Restricted Payments, (ii) to pay management or employee bonuses other than in accordance
with the Approved Budget, (iii) to pay Capital Expenditures other than in accordance with the
Approved Budget, (iv) to purchase or redeem any Equity Interests of the Borrower, (v) to make any
payments on guarantees or Contingent Obligations related to any Legacy TIC Syndication other than
in accordance with the Approved Budget, or (vi) to make payments to any creditors or holders of any
Liens in connection with Debt subordinated (or required hereunder to be subordinated) to the
Obligations under the Loan Documents.

     SECTION 2.15 Defaulting Lenders. (a) In the event that, at any one time, (i) any
Lender Party shall be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) such Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted
Advance to the Borrower and (iii) the Borrower shall be required to make any payment hereunder or
under any other Loan Document to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower
may, so long as no Default shall occur or be continuing at such time and to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, set off and otherwise apply the Obligation of the Borrower to make
such payment to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender against the obligation of such
Defaulting Lender to make such Defaulted Advance. In the event that, on any date, the Borrower
shall so set off and otherwise apply its obligation to make any such payment against the obligation
of such Defaulting Lender to make any such Defaulted Advance on or prior to such date, the amount
so set off and otherwise applied by the Borrower shall constitute for all purposes of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents an Advance by such Defaulting Lender made on the date of
such setoff under the Facility pursuant to which such Defaulted Advance was originally required to
have been made pursuant to Section 2.01. Such Advance shall be considered, for all purposes of
this Agreement, to comprise part of the Borrowing in connection with which such Defaulted Advance
was originally required to have been made pursuant to Section 2.01, even if the other Advances
comprising such Borrowing shall be Eurodollar Rate Advances on the date such Advance is deemed to
be made pursuant to this subsection (a). The Borrower shall notify the Administrative Agent at any
time the Borrower exercises its right of set-off pursuant to this subsection (a) and shall set
forth in such notice (A) the name of the Defaulting Lender and the Defaulted Advance required to be
made by such Defaulting Lender and (B) the amount set off and otherwise applied in respect of such
Defaulted Advance pursuant to this subsection (a). Any portion of such payment otherwise required
to be made by the Borrower to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender which is paid by the
Borrower, after giving effect to the amount set off and otherwise applied by the Borrower pursuant
to this subsection (a), shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as specified in subsection (b)
or (c) of this Section 2.15.

          (b) In the event that, at any one time, (i) any Lender Party shall be a Defaulting Lender,
(ii) such Defaulting Lender shall owe a Defaulted Amount to the Administrative Agent or any of the
other Lender Parties and (iii) the Borrower shall make any payment hereunder or under any other
Loan Document to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender, then the
Administrative Agent may, on its behalf or on behalf of such other Lender Parties and to the
fullest extent permitted by applicable law, apply at such time the amount so paid by the Borrower
to or for the account of such Defaulting Lender to the payment of each such Defaulted Amount to the
extent required to pay such Defaulted Amount. In the event that the Administrative Agent shall so
apply any such amount to the payment of any such Defaulted Amount on any date, the amount so
applied by the Administrative Agent

40

 

shall constitute for all purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents payment, to
such extent, of such Defaulted Amount on such date. Any such amount so applied by the
Administrative Agent shall be retained by the Administrative Agent or distributed by the
Administrative Agent to such other Lender Parties, ratably in accordance with the respective
portions of such Defaulted Amounts payable at such time to the Administrative Agent and such other
Lender Parties and, if the amount of such payment made by the Borrower shall at such time be
insufficient to pay all Defaulted Amounts owing at such time to the Administrative Agent and such
other Lender Parties, in the following order of priority:

     (i)       first, to the Administrative Agent for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to them, in
their capacities as such, ratably in accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then
owing to the Administrative Agent;

     (ii)      second, to the Issuing Bank for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to them, in their
capacities as such, ratably in accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then owing
to the Issuing Bank; and

     (iii)     third, to any other Lender Parties for any Defaulted Amounts then owing to such
other Lender Parties, ratably in accordance with such respective Defaulted Amounts then
owing to such other Lender Parties.

Any portion of such amount paid by the Borrower for the account of such Defaulting Lender
remaining, after giving effect to the amount applied by the Administrative Agent pursuant to this
subsection (b), shall be applied by the Administrative Agent as specified in subsection (c) of this
Section 2.15.

          (c) In the event that, at any one time, (i) any Lender Party shall be a Defaulting Lender,
(ii) such Defaulting Lender shall not owe a Defaulted Advance or a Defaulted Amount and (iii) the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party shall be required to pay or distribute
any amount hereunder or under any other Loan Document to or for the account of such Defaulting
Lender, then the Borrower or the Administrative Agent or such other Lender Party shall pay such
amount to the Administrative Agent to be held by the Administrative Agent, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, in escrow or the Administrative Agent shall, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, hold in escrow such amount otherwise held by it. Any funds held by
the Administrative Agent in escrow under this subsection (c) shall be deposited by the
Administrative Agent in an account with a bank (the “Escrow Bank”) selected by the Administrative
Agent, in the name and under the control of the Administrative Agent, but subject to the provisions
of this subsection (c). The terms applicable to such account, including the rate of interest
payable with respect to the credit balance of such account from time to time, shall be the Escrow
Bank’s standard terms applicable to escrow accounts maintained with it. Any interest credited to
such account from time to time shall be held by the Administrative Agent in escrow under, and
applied by the Administrative Agent from time to time in accordance with the provisions of, this
subsection (c). The Administrative Agent shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
apply all funds so held in escrow from time to time to the extent necessary to make any Advances
required to be made by such Defaulting Lender and to pay any amount payable by such Defaulting
Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender
Party, as and when such Advances or amounts are required to be made or paid and, if the amount so
held in escrow shall at any time be insufficient to make and pay all such Advances and amounts
required to be made or paid at such time, in the following order of priority:

     (i)     first, to the Administrative Agent for any amounts then due and payable by such
Defaulting Lender to them hereunder, in their capacities as such, ratably in accordance with
such respective amounts then due and payable to the Administrative Agent;

41

 

     (ii)      second, to the Issuing Bank for any amounts then due and payable to them
hereunder, in their capacities as such, by such Defaulting Lender, ratably in accordance
with such respective amounts then due and payable to the Issuing Bank;

     (iii)     third, to any other Lender Parties for any amount then due and payable by such
Defaulting Lender to such other Lender Parties hereunder, ratably in accordance with such
respective amounts then due and payable to such other Lender Parties; and

     (iv)     fourth, to the Borrower for any Advance then required to be made by such
Defaulting Lender pursuant to a Commitment of such Defaulting Lender.

In the event that any Lender Party that is a Defaulting Lender shall, at any time, cease to be a
Defaulting Lender, any funds held by the Administrative Agent in escrow at such time with respect
to such Lender Party shall be distributed by the Administrative Agent to such Lender Party and
applied by such Lender Party to the Obligations owing to such Lender Party at such time under this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents ratably in accordance with the respective amounts of such
Obligations outstanding at such time.

          (d) The rights and remedies against a Defaulting Lender under this Section 2.15 are in
addition to other rights and remedies that the Borrower may have against such Defaulting Lender
with respect to any Defaulted Advance and that the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party may
have against such Defaulting Lender with respect to any Defaulted Amount.

     SECTION 2.16 Evidence of Obligations. (a) Each Lender Party shall maintain in
accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts evidencing the indebtedness of the
Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Advance owing to such Lender Party from time to time,
including the amounts of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time
hereunder. The Borrower agrees that upon notice by any Lender Party to the Borrower (with a copy
of such notice to the Administrative Agent) to the effect that a promissory note or other evidence
of indebtedness is required or appropriate in order for such Lender Party to evidence (whether for
purposes of pledge, enforcement or otherwise) the Advances owing to, or to be made by, such Lender
Party, the Borrower shall promptly execute and deliver to such Lender Party, with a copy to the
Administrative Agent, a Revolving Credit Note, in substantially the form of Exhibit A, payable to
the order of such Lender Party in a principal amount equal to the Revolving Credit Commitment of
such Lender Party. All references to Notes in the Loan Documents shall mean Notes, if any, to the
extent issued hereunder.

          (b) The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.07(d) shall
include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender Party, in which accounts (taken
together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the Type of
Advances comprising such Borrowing and, if appropriate, the Interest Period applicable thereto,
(ii) the terms of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it, (iii) the amount
of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each
Lender Party hereunder, and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from
the Borrower hereunder and each Lender Party’s share thereof.

          (c) Entries made in good faith by the Administrative Agent in the Register pursuant to
subsection (b) above, and by each Lender Party in its account or accounts pursuant to subsection
(a) above, shall be prima facie evidence of the amount of principal and interest due and payable or
to become due and payable from the Borrower to, in the case of the Register, each Lender Party and,
in the case of such account or accounts, such Lender Party, under this Agreement, absent manifest
error; provided, however, that the failure of the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party to make
an entry, or any

42

 

finding that an entry is incorrect, in the Register or such account or accounts shall not
limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement.

     SECTION 2.17 Extension of Termination Date. (a) At least 30 days and no sooner than 60
days prior to the Termination Date, the Borrower, by written notice to the Administrative Agent,
may request, with respect to the Commitments then outstanding, a single extension of the
Termination Date until January 5, 2011. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender
of such request, and the Termination Date in effect at such time shall, effective as at the
Termination Date (the “Extension Date”) and subject to the conditions set forth in this
Section 2.17, be extended for such additional period, provided that such extension shall be
available if and only if: (i) no Prepayment Failure Event shall
have occurred prior to the Extension Date and the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Credit A
Advances outstanding on the Extension Date does not exceed the amount set forth on Schedule
2.06(e)(iii), (ii) the Administrative Agent and the Required Lenders have agreed, in their sole
discretion, upon financial covenants with which the Loan Parties shall comply during the extension
term and the Loan Parties shall have executed and delivered an amendment to this Agreement on or
prior to the Extension Date confirming the effectiveness of such financial covenants during the
extension term, and (iii) on the Extension Date, the following statements shall be true in all
material respects and the Administrative Agent shall have received for the account of each Lender
Party a certificate signed by a duly authorized officer of the Borrower, dated the Extension Date,
stating that: (x) the representations and warranties contained in the Loan Documents are true and
correct on and as of the Extension Date, and (y) no Default has occurred and is continuing or would
result from such extension. In the event an extension is effected pursuant to this Section 2.17,
the aggregate principal amount of all Advances shall be repaid in full ratably to the Lenders on
the Termination Date as so extended. As of the Extension Date, any and all references in this
Agreement, the Notes, if any, or any of the other Loan Documents to the “Termination Date” shall
refer to the Termination Date as so extended.

          (b) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders an
extension fee in an amount equal to 0.25% of the total Commitments then outstanding, payable on the
Extension Date.

     SECTION 2.18 Lender Pro Rata Shares. The Revolving Credit Advances outstanding under
the Existing Agreement on the Effective Date shall be deemed to have been made under, and amended
and restated by, this Agreement on the date hereof without executing any further documentation. As

B Pro Rata Share and Revolver A Pro Rata Share of the Facility set forth in Schedule I.

obligations or costs, and no circumstances exist to the best of such Loan Party’s
knowledge that are reasonably likely to (A) form the basis of an Environmental Action
against any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their properties that could
have a Material Adverse Effect or (B) cause any such property to be subject to any
restrictions on ownership, occupancy, use or transferability under any Environmental Law.

     (ii) None of the properties currently or formerly owned or operated by any Loan Party

authority or the requirements of any Environmental Law, except with respect to any de
minimis investigation or assessment or remedial or response action at a property that is or
was managed by any Loan Party or its Subsidiaries in its capacity as property manager for a
third party client so long as the agreement pursuant to which such Loan Party or Subsidiary

Party or Subsidiary, or does not subject such Loan Party or Subsidiary to liability, for
such release, and so long as the Loan Party or its Subsidiary has not violated any provision

good faith and by proper proceedings and as to which appropriate reserves are being
maintained, unless and until (i) in the case of income, real estate or other taxes, any
Lien resulting therefrom attaches to its property and either (x) becomes enforceable
against its other creditors or (y) the failure to make such payment would result in the
attempted or actual foreclosure of a Lien against any of the Property of the Borrower or
its Subsidiaries or (ii) the failure to make such payment would constitute an Event of
Default pursuant to Section 6.01(e).

merger or consolidation permitted under Section 5.02(d) and provided further that neither
the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall be required to preserve any right, permit,

excepted.

     (i) Transactions with Affiliates. Conduct, and cause each of its
Subsidiaries to conduct, all transactions otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents

Credit, the Borrower will, forthwith upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay to the
Administrative Agent, as additional funds to be deposited and held in the L/C Collateral Account,
an amount equal to the excess of (a) such aggregate Available Amount over (b) the total amount of
funds, if any, then held in the L/C Collateral Account that the Administrative Agent determines to
be free and clear of any such right and claim. Upon the drawing of any Letter of Credit for which
funds are on deposit in the L/C Collateral Account, such funds shall be applied to reimburse the
Issuing Bank or Revolving Credit B Lenders, as applicable, to the extent permitted by applicable
law. After each Letter of Credit issued or deemed to have been issued hereunder expires or
terminates without being drawn upon, and/or after the Letter of Credit Advances with respect to
each Letter of Credit have been paid, amounts on deposit in the L/C Collateral Account (if any)
shall be applied by the Administrative Agent to pay other outstanding amounts due under the Loan
Documents or shall be returned to the Borrower.

ARTICLE VII

THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT

     SECTION 7.01 Authorization and Action. (a) Each Lender Party (in its capacities as a
Lender, the Issuing Bank (if applicable) and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential
Hedge Banks) hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent
on its behalf and to exercise such powers and discretion under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the
terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably
incidental thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including,
without limitation, enforcement or collection of the Notes), the Administrative Agent shall not be
required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain
from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the
instructions of the Required Lenders, and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lender
Parties and all holders of Notes; provided, however, that no Administrative Agent shall be required
to take any action that exposes the Administrative Agent to personal liability or that is contrary
to this Agreement or applicable law. The Administrative Agent agrees to give to each Lender Party
prompt notice of each notice given to it by the Borrower pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

          (b) In furtherance of the foregoing, each Lender Party (in its capacities as a Lender, the
Issuing Bank (if applicable) and on behalf of itself and its Affiliates as potential Hedge

75

 

Banks) hereby appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent to act as the agent of such Lender Party
for purposes of acquiring, holding and enforcing any and all Liens on Collateral granted by any of
the Loan Parties to secure any of the Secured Obligations, together with such powers and discretion
as are reasonably incidental thereto. In this connection, the Administrative Agent (and any
Supplemental Collateral Agent appointed by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 7.01(c) for
purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any portion thereof) granted under
the Collateral Documents, or for exercising any rights or remedies thereunder at the direction of
the Administrative Agent), shall be entitled to the benefits of this Article VII (including,
without limitation, Section 7.05 as though such Supplemental Collateral Agent was the
“Administrative Agent” under the Loan Documents) as if set forth in full herein with respect
thereto.

          (c) The Administrative Agent may execute any of its duties under this Agreement or any other
Loan Document (including for purposes of holding or enforcing any Lien on the Collateral (or any
portion thereof) granted under the Collateral Documents or of exercising any rights and remedies
thereunder at the direction of the Administrative Agent) by or through agents, employees or
attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel and other consultants or experts
concerning all matters pertaining to such duties. The Administrative Agent may also from time to
time, when the Administrative Agent deems it to be necessary or desirable, appoint one or more
trustees, co-trustees, collateral co-agents, collateral subagents or attorneys-in-fact (each, a
“Supplemental Collateral Agent”) with respect to all or any part of the Collateral; provided,
however, that no such Supplemental Administrative Agent shall be authorized to take any action with
respect to any Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized in writing by the
Administrative Agent. Should any instrument in writing from the Borrower or any other Loan Party
be required by any Supplemental Collateral Agent so appointed by the Administrative Agent to more
fully or certainly vest in and confirm to such Supplemental Collateral Agent such rights, powers,
privileges and duties, the Borrower shall, or shall cause such Loan Party to, execute, acknowledge
and deliver any and all such instruments promptly upon request by the Administrative Agent. If any
Supplemental Collateral Agent, or successor thereto, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign
or be removed, all rights, powers, privileges and duties of such Supplemental Collateral Agent, to
the extent permitted by law, shall automatically vest in and be exercised by the Administrative
Agent until the appointment of a new Supplemental Collateral Agent. No Administrative Agent shall
be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of the Administrative Agent, attorney-in-fact or
Supplemental Collateral Agent that it selects in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this
Section 7.01(c) in the absence of the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct.

     SECTION 7.02 Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its respective directors, officers, agents or
employees shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in
connection with the Loan Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent: (a)
may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until, in the case of the Administrative
Agent, the Administrative Agent receives and accepts an Assignment and Acceptance entered into by
the Lender that is the payee of such Note, as assignor, and an Eligible Assignee, as assignee, or,
in the case of any other Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent has received notice from
the Administrative Agent that it has received and accepted such Assignment and Acceptance, in each
case as provided in Section 8.07; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for any
Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the
advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any
Lender Party and shall not be responsible to any Lender Party for any statements, warranties or
representations (whether written or oral) made in or in connection with the Loan Documents; (d)
shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance, observance or
satisfaction of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any Loan

76

 

Document on the part of any
Loan Party or the existence at any time of any Default under the Loan Documents or to inspect the
property (including the books and records) of any Loan Party; (e) shall not be responsible to any
Lender Party for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or
value of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be
created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document
furnished pursuant thereto; and (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of any Loan
Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may
be by telegram, telecopy or attached to electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed or
sent by the proper party or parties.

     SECTION 7.03 DBTCA and Affiliates. With respect to its Commitments, the Advances made
by it and the Notes issued to it, DBTCA shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan
Documents as any other Lender Party and may exercise the same as though it were not the
Administrative Agent; and the term “Lender Party” or “Lender Parties” shall, unless otherwise
expressly indicated, include DBTCA in its individual capacity. DBTCA and its affiliates may accept
deposits from, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, accept investment banking
engagements from and generally engage in any kind of business with, any Loan Party, any of its
Subsidiaries and any Person that may do business with or own securities of any Loan Party or any
such Subsidiary, all as if DBTCA was not the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account
therefor to the Lender Parties. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duty to disclose any
information obtained or received by it or any of its Affiliates relating to any Loan Party or any
of its Subsidiaries to the extent such information was obtained or received in any capacity other
than as the Administrative Agent.

     SECTION 7.04 Lender Party Credit Decision. Each Lender Party acknowledges that it
has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party and
based on the financial statements referred to in Section 4.01 and such other documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into
this Agreement. Each Lender Party also acknowledges that it will, independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender Party and based on such documents and
information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in
taking or not taking action under this Agreement.

     SECTION 7.05 Indemnification. (a) Each Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the
extent not promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender Party’s ratable share
(determined as provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that
may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way relating to
or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent
under the Loan Documents (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”); provided, however, that no Lender
Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative
Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a
court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender Party agrees to
reimburse the Administrative Agent promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any costs and
expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel) payable by the Borrower
under Section 8.04, to the extent that the Administrative Agent is not promptly reimbursed for such
costs and expenses by the Borrower. In the case of any investigation, litigation or proceeding
giving rise to any Indemnified Costs, this Section 7.05 applies whether any such investigation,
litigation or proceeding is brought by any Lender Party or any other Person.

          (b) Each Lender Party severally agrees to indemnify the Issuing Bank (to the extent not
promptly reimbursed by the Borrower) from and against such Lender Party’s ratable share (determined
as

77

 

provided below) of any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions,
judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be
imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Issuing Bank in any way relating to or arising out
of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Issuing Bank under the Loan Documents;
provided, however, that no Lender Party shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting from the Issuing Bank’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as found in
a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction. Without limitation of the
foregoing, each Lender Party agrees to reimburse the Issuing Bank promptly upon demand for its
ratable share of any costs and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of
counsel) payable by the Borrower under Section 8.04, to the extent that the Issuing Bank is not
promptly reimbursed for such costs and expenses by the Borrower.

          (c) For purposes of this Section 7.05, the Lender Parties’ respective ratable shares of any
amount shall be determined, at any time, according to the sum of (i) the aggregate principal amount
of the Advances outstanding at such time and owing to the respective Lender Parties, (ii) their
respective Pro Rata Shares of the aggregate Available Amount of all Letters of Credit outstanding
at such time, and (iii) their respective Unused Revolving Credit B Commitments at such time,
provided that the aggregate principal amount of Letter of Credit Advances owing to the Issuing Bank
shall be considered to be owed to the Revolving Credit B Lenders ratably in accordance with their
respective Revolving Credit B Commitments. The failure of any Lender Party to reimburse the
Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may be, promptly upon demand for its ratable
share of any amount required to be paid by the Lender Parties to the Administrative Agent or the
Issuing Bank, as the case may be, as provided herein shall not relieve any other Lender Party of
its obligation hereunder to reimburse the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case may
be, for its ratable share of such amount, but no Lender Party shall be responsible for the failure
of any other Lender Party to reimburse the Administrative Agent or the Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, for such other Lender Party’s ratable share of such amount. Without prejudice to the
survival of any other agreement of any Lender Party hereunder, the agreement and obligations of
each Lender Party contained in this Section 7.05 shall survive the payment in full of principal,
interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under the other Loan Documents.

     SECTION 7.06 Successor Administrative Agents. The Administrative Agent may resign as to
any or all of the Facilities at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lender Parties and
the Borrower and may be removed as to all of the Facilities at any time with or without cause by
the Required Lenders; provided, however, that any removal of the Administrative Agent will not be
effective until it has also been replaced as Letter of Credit Issuing Bank and released from all of
its obligations in respect thereof. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Required Lenders
shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent as to such of the Facilities as to
which the Administrative Agent has resigned or been removed. If no successor Administrative Agent
shall have been so appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment,
within 30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the
Required Lenders’ removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring Administrative
Agent may, on behalf of the Lender Parties, appoint a successor Administrative Agent, which shall
be a commercial bank organized under the laws of the United States or of any State thereof and
having a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000. Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent as to all of the
Facilities and upon the execution and filing or recording of such financing statements, or
amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements to the Mortgages, and such other instruments
or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as the Required Lenders may request, in order to
continue the perfection of the Liens granted or purported to be granted by the Collateral
Documents, such successor Administrative Agent shall succeed to and become vested with all the
rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan

78

 

Documents. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor
Administrative Agent as to less than all of the Facilities and upon the execution and filing or
recording of such financing statements, or amendments thereto, and such amendments or supplements
to the Mortgages, and such other instruments or notices, as may be necessary or desirable, or as
the Required Lenders may request, in order to continue the perfection of the Liens granted or
purported to be granted by the Collateral Documents, such successor Administrative Agent shall
succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, discretion, privileges and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent as to such Facilities, other than with respect to funds transfers and
other similar aspects of the administration of Borrowings under such Facilities, issuances of
Letters of Credit (notwithstanding any resignation as Administrative Agent with respect to the
Letter of Credit Facility) and payments by the Borrower in respect of such Facilities, and the
retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under this
Agreement as to such Facilities, other than as aforesaid. If within 45 days after written notice
is given of the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal under this Section 7.06 no
successor Administrative Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment,
then on such 45th day (a) the retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal
shall become effective, (b) the retiring Administrative Agent shall thereupon be discharged from
its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents and (c) the Required Lenders shall thereafter
perform all duties of the retiring Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents until such time,
if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above. After
any retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent as to
any of the Facilities shall have become effective, the provisions of this Article VII shall inure
to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative
Agent as to such Facilities under this Agreement.

ARTICLE VIII

GUARANTY

     SECTION 8.01 Guaranty; Limitation of Liability. (a) Each Guarantor, jointly and
severally, hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the punctual payment when
due, whether at scheduled maturity or on any date of a required prepayment or by acceleration,
demand or otherwise, of all Obligations of each other Loan Party now or hereafter existing under or
in respect of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, any extensions, modifications,
substitutions, amendments or renewals of any or all of the foregoing Obligations), whether direct
or indirect, absolute or contingent, and whether for principal, interest, premiums, fees,
indemnities, contract causes of action, costs, expenses or otherwise (such Obligations being the
“Guaranteed Obligations”), and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including, without limitation,
fees and expenses of counsel) incurred by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party in
enforcing any rights under this Guaranty or any other Loan Document. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability shall extend to all amounts that constitute
part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by any other Loan Party to any Secured Party
under or in respect of the Loan Documents but for the fact that they are unenforceable or not
allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar proceeding involving such
other Loan Party.

          (b) Each Guarantor, and by its acceptance of this Guaranty, the Administrative Agent and each
other Secured Party, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this
Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or
conveyance for purposes of Bankruptcy Law, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform
Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal or state law to the extent applicable to
this Guaranty and the Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate the foregoing
intention, the
Administrative Agent, the other Secured Parties and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree
that the Obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the
maximum amount

79

 

as will result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty not constituting a
fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

          (c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees that in the event any payment
shall be required to be made to any Secured Party under this Guaranty or any other guaranty, such
Guarantor will contribute, to the maximum extent permitted by law, such amounts to each other
Guarantor and each other guarantor so as to maximize the aggregate amount paid to the Secured
Parties under or in respect of the Loan Documents.

          (d) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right (including without
limitation any such right arising under California Civil Code Section 2815) to revoke this Guaranty
and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed
Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.

          (e) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any and all rights and
defenses available to it by reason of Sections 2787 to 2855, inclusive, 2899 and 3433 of the
California Civil Code, including without limitation any and all rights or defenses such Guarantor
may have by reason of protection afforded to the principal with respect to any of the Guaranteed
Obligations, or to any other guarantor of any of the Guaranteed Obligations with respect to any of
such guarantor’s obligations under its guaranty, in either case pursuant to the antideficiency or
other laws of the State of California limiting or discharging the principal’s indebtedness or such
guarantor’s obligations, including without limitation Section 580a, 580b, 580d or 726 of the
California Code of Civil Procedure, (ii) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense
based upon an election of remedies by the Administrative Agent or any other Secured Party that in
any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation,
reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other
rights of such Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Loan Parties, any other guarantor or
any other Person or any collateral and (iii) any defense based on any right of set-off or
counterclaim against or in respect of the Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder. No other
provision of the Guaranty shall be construed as limiting the generality of any of the covenants and
waivers set forth in this paragraph. As provided below, this Guaranty shall be governed by, and
shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. This
paragraph is included solely out of an abundance of caution, and shall not be construed to mean
that any of the above-referenced provisions of California law are in any way applicable to this
Guaranty or to any of the Guaranteed Obligations.

          (f) Each Guarantor waives any claim, right or remedy, direct or indirect, that such Guarantor
now has or may hereafter have against any Loan Party or any of its assets in connection with this
Guaranty or the performance by such Guarantor of its obligations hereunder, in each case whether
such claim, right or remedy arises in equity, under contract, by statute (including without
limitation under California Civil Code Section 2847, 2848 or 2849), under common law or otherwise
and including without limitation (a) any right of subrogation, reimbursement or indemnification
that such Guarantor now has or may hereafter have against any such Loan Party, (b) any right to
enforce, or to participate in, any claim, right or remedy that any Secured Party now has or may
hereafter have against any Loan Party, and (c) any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any
collateral or security now or hereafter held by any Secured Party.

          (g) Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may, without notice to or demand
upon such Guarantor and without affecting the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty,
foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and each Guarantor hereby waives any defense to
the recovery by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties against such Guarantor of
any deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by
applicable law

80

 

(including, without limitation, Sections 580a and 580d of the California Code of Civil
Procedure or any other law of any other jurisdiction having similar effect).

     SECTION 8.02 Guaranty Absolute. Each Guarantor guarantees that the Guaranteed
Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents, regardless of
any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such
terms or the rights of any Secured Party with respect thereto. The Obligations of each Guarantor
under or in respect of this Guaranty are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other
Obligations of any other Loan Party under or in respect of the Loan Documents, and a separate
action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against each Guarantor to enforce this Guaranty,
irrespective of whether any action is brought against the Borrower or any other Loan Party or
whether the Borrower or any other Loan Party is joined in any such action or actions. The
liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute and unconditional
irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any defenses it may now have or
hereafter acquire in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

     (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document or any agreement or
instrument relating thereto;

     (b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of,
all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any other Loan Party
under or in respect of the Loan Documents, or any other amendment or waiver of or any
consent to departure from any Loan Document, including, without limitation, any increase
in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any
Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or otherwise;

     (c) any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or any other
collateral, or any taking, release or amendment or waiver of, or consent to departure
from, any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

     (d) any manner of application of Collateral or any other collateral, or proceeds
thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner of sale or other
disposition of any Collateral or any other collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed
Obligations or any other Obligations of any Loan Party under the Loan Documents or any
other assets of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

     (e) any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate structure or existence
of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

     (f) any failure of any Secured Party to disclose to any Loan Party any information
relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance,
properties or prospects of any other Loan Party now or hereafter known to such Secured
Party (each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Secured Parties to disclose such
information);

     (g) the failure of any other Person to execute or deliver this Guaranty, any Guaranty
Supplement or any other guaranty or agreement or the release or reduction of liability of
any Guarantor or other guarantor or surety with respect to the Guaranteed Obligations; or

     (h) any other circumstance (including, without limitation, any statute of
limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by any Secured Party
that might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Loan Party or any other
guarantor or surety.

81

 

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by any
Secured Party or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of the Borrower
or any other Loan Party or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

     SECTION 8.03 Waivers and Acknowledgments. (a) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally
and irrevocably waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance, presentment, demand for
performance, notice of nonperformance, default, acceleration, protest or dishonor and any other
notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement that
any Secured Party protect, secure, perfect or insure any Lien or any property subject thereto or
exhaust any right or take any action against any Loan Party or any other Person or any Collateral.

          (b) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any right to revoke this
Guaranty and acknowledges that this Guaranty is continuing in nature and applies to all Guaranteed
Obligations, whether existing now or in the future.

          (c) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives (i) any defense arising by
reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by any Secured Party that in any
manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such
Guarantor to proceed against any of the other Loan Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person
or any Collateral and (ii) any defense based on any right of set-off or counterclaim against or in
respect of the Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder.

          (d) Each Guarantor acknowledges that the Administrative Agent may, without notice to or demand
upon such Guarantor and without affecting the liability of such Guarantor under this Guaranty,
foreclose under any mortgage by nonjudicial sale, and each Guarantor hereby waives any defense to
the recovery by the Administrative Agent and the other Secured Parties against such Guarantor of
any deficiency after such nonjudicial sale and any defense or benefits that may be afforded by
applicable law.

          (e) Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of any
Secured Party to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing relating to the business,
condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other
Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by such Secured Party.

          (f) Each Guarantor acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits
from the financing arrangements contemplated by the Loan Documents and that the waivers set forth
in Section 8.02 and this Section 8.03 are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.

     SECTION 8.04 Subrogation. Each Guarantor hereby unconditionally and irrevocably
agrees not to exercise any rights that it may now have or hereafter acquire against the Borrower,
any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor that arise from the existence, payment,
performance or enforcement of such Guarantor’s Obligations under or in respect of this Guaranty or
any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of
any Secured Party against the Borrower, any other Loan
Party or any other insider guarantor or any Collateral, whether or not such claim, remedy or
right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the
right to take or receive from the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other insider guarantor,
directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or
security on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until all of the Guaranteed
Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in full in cash,
all Letters of Credit

82

 

and all Secured Hedge Agreements shall have expired or been terminated and the Commitments shall
have expired or been terminated. If any amount shall be paid to any Guarantor in violation of the
immediately preceding sentence at any time prior to the latest of (a) the payment in full in cash
of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, (b) the
Termination Date and (c) the latest date of expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit and
all Secured Hedge Agreements, such amount shall be received and held in trust for the benefit of
the Secured Parties, shall be segregated from other property and funds of such Guarantor and shall
forthwith be paid or delivered to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received (with
any necessary endorsement or assignment) to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations
and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with
the terms of the Loan Documents, or to be held as Collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations or
other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. If (i) any Guarantor shall make
payment to any Secured Party of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, (ii) all of the
Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been paid in
full in cash, (iii) the Termination Date shall have occurred and (iv) all Letters of Credit and all
Secured Hedge Agreements shall have expired or been terminated, the Secured Parties will, at such
Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver to such Guarantor appropriate documents,
without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer by
subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such
payment made by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty.

     SECTION 8.05 Guaranty Supplements. Upon the execution and delivery by any Person of a
guaranty supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit E hereto (each, a “Guaranty Supplement”),
(a) such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Guarantor” and shall become and be a
Guarantor hereunder, and each reference in this Guaranty to a “Guarantor” shall also mean and be a
reference to such Additional Guarantor, and each reference in any other Loan Document to a
“Guarantor” shall also mean and be a reference to such Additional Guarantor, and (b) each reference
herein to “ this Guaranty”, “hereunder”, “hereof” or words of like import referring to this
Guaranty, and each reference in any other Loan Document to the “Guaranty”, “thereunder”, “thereof”
or words of like import referring to this Guaranty, shall mean and be a reference to this Guaranty
as supplemented by such Guaranty Supplement.

     SECTION 8.06 Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby subordinates any and all debts,
liabilities and other Obligations owed to such Guarantor by each other Loan Party (the
“Subordinated Obligations”) to the Guaranteed Obligations to the extent and in the manner
hereinafter set forth in this Section 8.06:

     (a) Prohibited Payments, Etc. Except during the continuance of a Default
(including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law
relating to any other Loan Party), each Guarantor may receive payments from any other Loan
Party on account of the Subordinated Obligations. After the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding
under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), however, unless the Required
Lenders otherwise agree, no Guarantor shall demand, accept or take any action to collect any
payment on account of the Subordinated Obligations.

     (b) Prior Payment of Guaranteed Obligations. In any proceeding under any
Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party, each Guarantor agrees that the Secured
Parties shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of all Guaranteed Obligations
(including all interest and expenses accruing after the commencement of a proceeding under
any Bankruptcy Law, whether
or not constituting an allowed claim in such proceeding (“Post-Petition Interest”))
before such Guarantor receives payment of any Subordinated Obligations.

83

 

     (c) Turn-Over. After the occurrence and during the continuance of any Default
(including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding under any Bankruptcy Law
relating to any other Loan Party), each Guarantor shall, if the Administrative Agent so
requests, collect, enforce and receive payments on account of the Subordinated Obligations
as trustee for the Secured Parties and deliver such payments to the Administrative Agent on
account of the Guaranteed Obligations (including all Post-Petition Interest), together with
any necessary endorsements or other instruments of transfer, but without reducing or
affecting in any manner the liability of such Guarantor under the other provisions of this
Guaranty.

     (d) Administrative Agent Authorization. After the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Default (including the commencement and continuation of any proceeding
under any Bankruptcy Law relating to any other Loan Party), the Administrative Agent is
authorized and empowered (but without any obligation to so do), in its discretion, (i) in
the name of each Guarantor, to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of,
Subordinated Obligations and to apply any amounts received thereon to the Guaranteed
Obligations (including any and all Post-Petition Interest), and (ii) to require each
Guarantor (A) to collect and enforce, and to submit claims in respect of, Subordinated
Obligations and (B) to pay any amounts received on such obligations to the Administrative
Agent for application to the Guaranteed Obligations (including any and all Post-Petition
Interest).

     SECTION 8.07 Continuing Guaranty; Assignments. This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty
and shall (a) remain in full force and effect until the latest of (i) the payment in full in cash
of the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, (ii) the
Termination Date and (iii) the latest date of expiration or termination of all Letters of Credit
and all Secured Hedge Agreements, (b) be binding upon the Guarantor, its successors and assigns and
(c) inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Secured Parties and their successors,
transferees and assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (c) of the immediately
preceding sentence, any Secured Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or any portion of
its Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it) to any other Person,
and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof
granted to such Secured Party herein or otherwise, in each case as and to the extent provided in
Section 9.07. No Guarantor shall have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest
herein without the prior written consent of the Secured Parties.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

     SECTION 9.01 Amendments, Etc. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement or the Notes or any other Loan Document, nor consent to any departure by any Loan Party
therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed (or, in
the case of the Collateral Documents, consented to) by the Required Lenders (other than Defaulting
Lenders), and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the specific purpose for which given; provided, however, that (a) no amendment, waiver or consent

is, at such time, a Defaulting Lender), do any of the following at any
time: (i) waive any of the conditions specified in Section 3.02, (ii) change the number of
Lenders or the percentage of (x) the Commitments, (y) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the

as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any

remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.

     SECTION 9.04 Costs and Expenses. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay on demand (i) all
reasonable costs and expenses of the Lead Arranger and the Administrative Agent in connection with
the preparation, execution, delivery, administration, modification and amendment of, or any consent
or waiver under, the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, (A) all due diligence,
collateral review, syndication, transportation, computer, duplication, appraisal, audit, insurance,
consultant, search, filing and recording fees and expenses and (B) the reasonable fees and expenses

interests, under the Loan Documents, with respect to negotiations with any Loan Party or with other

circumstances that may give rise to a Default and with respect to presenting claims in or otherwise
participating in or monitoring any bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar proceeding involving
creditors’ rights generally and any proceeding ancillary thereto) and (ii) all costs and expenses
of the Lead Arranger and the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party in connection with the
enforcement of the Loan Documents, whether in any action, suit or litigation, or any bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar proceeding affecting creditors’ rights generally (including, without
limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the Lead Arranger and the
Administrative Agent and each Lender Party with respect thereto).

          (b) The Borrower agrees to indemnify, defend and save and hold harmless the Lead Arranger, the
Administrative Agent, each Lender Party and each of their Affiliates and their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, and
shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or
awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or by
reason of (including, without limitation, in connection with any investigation, litigation or
proceeding or preparation of a defense in connection therewith) (i) the Facilities, the actual or
proposed use of the proceeds of the Advances or the Letters of Credit, the Loan Documents or any of
the transactions contemplated thereby or (ii) the actual or alleged presence of Hazardous Materials
on any property of any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries or any Environmental Action relating
in any way to any Loan Party or any of its Subsidiaries, except to the extent such claim, damage,
loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court of competent
jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in this
Section 9.04(b) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation,
litigation or proceeding is brought by any Loan Party, its directors, shareholders or creditors or
an Indemnified Party or any other Person, whether or not any Indemnified Party is otherwise a party
thereto and whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated. The
Borrower also agrees not to assert any claim against the Administrative Agent, any Lender Party or
any of their Affiliates, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and
advisors, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages
arising out of or otherwise relating to the Facilities, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds
of the Advances or the Letters of Credit, the Loan Documents or any of the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents.

          (c) If any payment of principal of, or Conversion of, any Eurodollar Rate Advance is made by
the Borrower to or for the account of a Lender Party other than on the last day of the Interest
Period for such Advance, as a result of a payment or Conversion pursuant to Section 2.06,
2.09(b)(i) or 2.10(d), acceleration of the maturity of the Notes pursuant to Section 6.01 or for
any other reason, or if

86

 

the Borrower fails to make any payment or prepayment of an Advance for which a notice of prepayment
has been given or that is otherwise required to be made, whether pursuant to Section 2.04, 2.06 or
6.01 or otherwise, the Borrower shall, upon demand by such Lender Party (with a copy of such demand
to the Administrative Agent), pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender Party
any amounts required to compensate such Lender Party for any additional losses, costs or expenses
that it may reasonably incur as a result of such payment or Conversion or such failure to pay or
prepay, as the case may be, including, without limitation, any loss (including loss of anticipated
profits), cost or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or
other funds acquired by any Lender Party to fund or maintain such Advance.

          (d) If any Loan Party fails to pay when due any costs, expenses or other amounts payable by it
under any Loan Document, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of counsel and
indemnities, such amount may be paid on behalf of such Loan Party by the Administrative Agent or
any Lender Party, in its sole discretion.

          (e) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of any Loan Party hereunder or
under any other Loan Document, the agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in
Sections 2.10 and 2.12 and this Section 9.04 shall survive the payment in full of principal,
interest and all other amounts payable hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents.

     SECTION 9.05 Right of Set-off. Upon (a) the occurrence and during the continuance of
any Event of Default and (b) the making of the request or the granting of the consent specified by
Section 6.01 to authorize the Administrative Agent to declare the Notes due and payable pursuant to
the provisions of Section 6.01, the Administrative Agent and each Lender Party and each of their
respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, to set off and otherwise apply any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the
Administrative Agent, such Lender Party or such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of
the Borrower against any and all of the Obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under
the Loan Documents, irrespective of whether the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party shall
have made any demand under this Agreement or such Note or Notes and although such Obligations may
be unmatured. The Administrative Agent and each Lender Party agrees promptly to notify the
Borrower after any such set-off and application; provided, however, that the failure to give such
notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the
Administrative Agent and each Lender Party and their respective Affiliates under this Section are
in addition to other rights and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off)
that the Administrative Agent, such Lender Party and their respective Affiliates may have.

     SECTION 9.06 Binding Effect. This Agreement shall become effective when it shall have
been executed by the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent shall have
been notified by each Initial Lender Party that such Initial Lender Party has executed it and
thereafter shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent
and each Lender Party and their respective successors and assigns, except that the Borrower shall
not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written
consent of the Lender Parties.

     SECTION 9.07 Assignments and Participations. (a) Each Lender may assign to one or more Eligible Assignees all or a portion of its
rights and obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its
Commitment or Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it); provided,
however, that (i) each such assignment shall be of a uniform, and not a varying, percentage of all
rights and obligations under and in respect of any or all Facilities, (ii) except in the case of an
assignment to a Person that, immediately prior to such assignment, was a Lender, an Affiliate of
any Lender or an Approved Fund of any Lender or an assignment of all of a Lender’s rights

87

 

and obligations under this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the Commitments being assigned to
such Eligible Assignee pursuant to such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and
Acceptance with respect to such assignment) shall in no event be less than $1,000,000 and shall be
in an integral multiple of $500,000 (or such lesser amount as shall be approved by the
Administrative Agent) under each Facility for which a Commitment is being assigned, (iii) each such
assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee, (iv) no such assignments shall be permitted without
the consent of the Administrative Agent until the Administrative Agent shall have notified the
Lender Parties that syndication of the Commitments hereunder has been completed and (v) the parties
to each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance
and recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with any Note or Notes
subject to such assignment and a processing and recordation fee of $3,500.

          (b) Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from and after the effective date
specified in such Assignment and Acceptance, (i) the assignee thereunder shall be a party hereto
and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned to it pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender or Issuing Bank, as the case
may be, hereunder and (ii) the Lender or Issuing Bank assignor thereunder shall, to the extent that
rights and obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance, relinquish its rights (other than its rights under Sections 2.10, 2.12 and 9.04 to the
extent any claim thereunder relates to an event arising prior to such assignment) and be released
from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance
covering all of the remaining portion of an assigning Lender’s or Issuing Bank’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement, such Lender or Issuing Bank shall cease to be a party hereto).

          (c) By executing and delivering an Assignment and Acceptance, each Lender Party assignor
thereunder and each assignee thereunder confirm to and agree with each other and the other parties
thereto and hereto as follows: (i) other than as provided in such Assignment and Acceptance, such
assigning Lender Party makes no representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with
respect to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with any Loan
Document or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value
of, or the perfection or priority of any lien or security interest created or purported to be
created under or in connection with, any Loan Document or any other instrument or document
furnished pursuant thereto; (ii) such assigning Lender Party makes no representation or warranty
and assumes no responsibility with respect to the financial condition of any Loan Party or the
performance or observance by any Loan Party of any of its obligations under any Loan Document or
any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto; (iii) such assignee confirms that it
has received a copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the financial statements referred to
in Section 4.01 and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Assignment and Acceptance; (iv) such assignee
will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, such assigning Lender Party
or any other Lender Party and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate
at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Agreement; (v) such assignee confirms that it is an Eligible Assignee; (vi) such assignee appoints
and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise
such powers and discretion under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by
the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers and discretion as are reasonably incidental
thereto; and (vii) such assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with their terms all of
the obligations that by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by it as a Lender
or Issuing Bank, as the case may be.

          (d) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 8.02 a copy
of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the

88

 

recordation of the names and addresses of the Lender Parties and the Commitment under each
Facility of, and principal amount of the Advances owing under each Facility to, each Lender Party
from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding
for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lender
Parties may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender Party hereunder
for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent or any Lender Party at any reasonable time and from time to time upon
reasonable prior notice.

          (e) Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance executed by an assigning Lender Party and
an assignee, together with any Note or Notes subject to such assignment, the Administrative Agent
shall, if such Assignment and Acceptance has been completed and is in substantially the form of
Exhibit C hereto, (i) accept such Assignment and Acceptance, (ii) record the information contained
therein in the Register and (iii) give prompt notice thereof to the Borrower and each other
Administrative Agent. In the case of any assignment by a Lender, within five Business Days after
its receipt of such notice, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent in exchange for the surrendered Note or Notes a new Note to the order of such
Eligible Assignee in an amount equal to the Commitment assumed by it under each Facility pursuant
to such Assignment and Acceptance and, if any assigning Lender has retained a Commitment hereunder
under such Facility, a new Note to the order of such assigning Lender in an amount equal to the
Commitment retained by it hereunder. Such new Note or Notes shall be in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such surrendered Note or Notes, shall be dated
the effective date of such Assignment and Acceptance and shall otherwise be in substantially the
form of Exhibit A.

          (f) The Issuing Bank may assign to an Eligible Assignee not less than all of its rights and
obligations under the undrawn portion of its Letter of Credit Commitment at any time; provided,
however, that (i) each such assignment shall be to an Eligible Assignee and (ii) the parties to
each such assignment shall execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and
recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation
fee of $3,500.

          (g) Each Lender Party may sell participations to one or more Persons (other than any Loan
Party or any of its Affiliates) in or to all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing
to it and the Note or Notes (if any) held by it); provided, however, that (i) such Lender Party’s
obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, its Commitments) shall remain
unchanged, (ii) such Lender Party shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for
the performance of such obligations, (iii) such Lender Party shall remain the holder of any such
Note for all purposes of this Agreement, (iv) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the other
Lender Parties shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender Party in connection with
such Lender Party’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and (v) no participant under any
such participation shall have any right to approve any amendment or waiver of any provision of any
Loan Document, or any consent to any departure by any Loan Party therefrom, except to the extent
that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the principal of, or interest on, the Notes or
any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such
participation, postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Notes
or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each case to the extent subject to such
participation, or release all or substantially all of the Collateral.

          (h) Any Lender Party may, in connection with any assignment or participation or proposed
assignment or participation pursuant to this Section 8.07, disclose to the assignee or participant
or proposed assignee or participant any information relating to the Borrower furnished to such
Lender Party by or on behalf of the Borrower; provided, however, that prior to any such disclosure,
the assignee

89

 

or participant or proposed assignee or participant shall agree to preserve the confidentiality
of any Confidential Information received by it from such Lender Party.

          (i) Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender Party may at
any time create a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement
(including, without limitation, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes held by it) in favor
of any Federal Reserve Bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System.

          (j) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender that is a fund that
invests in bank loans may create a security interest in all or any portion of the Advances owing to
it and the Note or Notes held by it to the trustee for holders of obligations owed, or securities
issued, by such fund as security for such obligations or securities, provided that unless and until
such trustee actually becomes a Lender in compliance with the other provisions of this Section
9.07, (i) no such pledge shall release the pledging Lender from any of its obligations under the
Loan Documents and (ii) such trustee shall not be entitled to exercise any of the rights of a
Lender under the Loan Documents even though such trustee may have acquired ownership rights with
respect to the pledged interest through foreclosure or otherwise.

          (k) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender Party (a “Granting
Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle identified as such in writing from time to
time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower (an “SPC”) the option to
provide all or any part of any Advance that such Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to
make pursuant to this Agreement, provided that (i) nothing herein shall constitute a commitment by
any SPC to fund any Advance, and (ii) if an SPC elects not to exercise such option or otherwise
fails to make all or any part of such Advance, the Granting Lender shall be obligated to make such
Advance pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of an Advance by an SPC hereunder shall utilize
the Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent, and as if, such Advance were made by such
Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that (i) no SPC shall be liable for any indemnity
or similar payment obligation under this Agreement for which a Lender Party would be liable, (ii)
no SPC shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.10 and 2.12 (or any other increased costs
protection provision) and (iii) the Granting Bank shall for all purposes, including, without
limitation, the approval of any amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document, remain
the Lender Party of record hereunder. In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto hereby
agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the date
that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or other
senior Debt of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in instituting
against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation
proceeding under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Agreement, any SPC may (i) with notice to, but without prior consent
of, the Borrower and the Administrative Agent and with the payment of a processing fee of $500,
assign all or any portion of its interest in any Advance to the Granting Lender and (ii) disclose
on a confidential basis any non-public information relating to its funding of Advances to any
rating agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety or guarantee or credit or
liquidity enhancement to such SPC. This subsection (k) may not be amended without the prior
written consent of each Granting Lender, all or any part of whose Advances are being funded by the
SPC at the time of such amendment.

     SECTION 9.08 Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties
hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original
and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same

90

 

agreement. Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Agreement
shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Agreement.

     SECTION 9.09 No Liability of the Issuing Bank. The Borrower assumes all risks of the
acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit with respect to its use
of such Letter of Credit. Neither the Issuing Bank nor any of its officers or directors shall be
liable or responsible for: (a) the use that may be made of any Letter of Credit or any acts or
omissions of any beneficiary or transferee in connection therewith; (b) the validity, sufficiency
or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement thereon, even if such documents should prove to
be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (c) payment by the Issuing
Bank against presentation of documents that do not comply with the terms of a Letter of Credit,
including failure of any documents to bear any reference or adequate reference to the Letter of
Credit; or (d) any other circumstances whatsoever in making or failing to make payment under any
Letter of Credit, except that the Borrower shall have a claim against the Issuing Bank, and the
Issuing Bank shall be liable to the Borrower, to the extent of any direct, but not consequential,
damages suffered by the Borrower that the Borrower proves were caused by (i) the Issuing Bank’s
willful misconduct or gross negligence as determined in a final, non-appealable judgment by a court
of competent jurisdiction in determining whether documents presented under any Letter of Credit
comply with the terms of the Letter of Credit or (ii) the Issuing Bank’s willful failure to make
lawful payment under a Letter of Credit after the presentation to it of a draft and certificates
strictly complying with the terms and conditions of the Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not
in limitation of the foregoing, the Issuing Bank may accept documents that appear on their face to
be in order, without responsibility for further investigation, regardless of any notice or
information to the contrary.

     SECTION 9.10 Confidentiality; Patriot Act. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any
Lender Party shall disclose any Confidential Information to any Person without the consent of the
Borrower, other than (a) to the Administrative Agent’s or such Lender Party’s Affiliates and their
officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors and to actual or prospective Eligible Assignees
and participants, and then only on a confidential basis, (b) as required by any law, rule or
regulation or judicial process, (c) as requested or required by any state, Federal or foreign
authority or examiner (including the National Association of Insurance Commissioners or any similar
organization or quasi-regulatory authority) regulating such Lender Party, (d) to any rating agency
when required by it, provided that, prior to any such disclosure, such rating agency shall
undertake to preserve the confidentiality of any Confidential Information relating to the Loan
Parties received by it from such Lender Party, (e) in connection with any litigation or proceeding
to which the Administrative Agent or such Lender Party or any of its Affiliates may be a party or
(f) in connection with the exercise of any right or remedy under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document. Each of the Lenders hereby notifies each Loan Party that, pursuant to the requirements
of the Patriot Act, it is required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies each
Loan Party, which information includes names and addresses and other information that will allow it
to identify each Loan Party in accordance with the Patriot Act.

     SECTION 9.11 Release of Collateral. Upon the sale, lease, transfer or other
disposition of any item of Collateral of any Loan Party in accordance with the terms of the Loan
Documents, the Administrative Agent will, at the Borrower’s expense, execute and deliver to such
Loan Party such documents as such Loan Party may reasonably request to evidence the release of such
item of Collateral from the assignment and security interest granted under the Collateral Documents
in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents.

     SECTION 9.12 Jurisdiction, Etc. (a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably
and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any
New York State court or Federal court of the United States of America sitting in New York City, and
any appellate court from any thereof, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to
this Agreement or any of

91

 

the other Loan Documents to which it is a party, or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment,
and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in
respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such New York State
court or, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in such Federal court. Each of the parties
hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be
enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any party may otherwise have to bring any
action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in the courts of
any jurisdiction.

          (b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent
it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying
of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents to which it is a party in any New York State or Federal court. Each of
the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense
of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

     SECTION 9.13 Governing Law. This Agreement and the Notes shall be governed by, and
construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

     SECTION 9.14 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each of the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and
the Lender Parties irrevocably waives all right to trial by jury in any action, proceeding or
counterclaim (whether based on contract, tort or otherwise) arising out of or relating to any of
the Loan Documents, the Advances, the Letters of Credit or the actions of the Administrative Agent
or any Lender Party in the negotiation, administration, performance or enforcement thereof.

shall each constitute a “written agreement” within the meaning of Section 3 of the Pre-Negotiation
Agreement.

     SECTION 9.16 Limited Waiver. To the extent any Defaults or Events of Default existed
under the Existing Agreement that would not have existed had this Agreement become effective as of
December 31, 2008, such Defaults or Events of Default are waived for the period ending on the
Effective Date of this Agreement.

THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURITY AGREEMENT

          THIRD AMENDED AND RESTATED SECURITY AGREEMENT dated May 18, 2009 made by GRUBB & ELLIS
COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (the “Borrower”), the other Persons listed on the signature pages
hereof and the Additional Grantors (as defined in Section 25) (the Borrower, the Persons so listed
and the Additional Grantors being, collectively, the “Grantors”), to DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY
AMERICAS, as administrative agent (in such capacity, together with any successor administrative
agent appointed pursuant to Article VII of the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined), the
“Administrative Agent”) for the Secured Parties (as defined in the Credit Agreement).

          PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS.

          (1) The Borrower has entered into a Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of
May 18, 2009 (said Agreement, as it may hereafter be amended, amended and restated, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, being the “Credit Agreement”) with the Lender Parties and the
Administrative Agent (each as defined therein).

          (2) Pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Grantors are entering into this Agreement in order
to grant to the Administrative Agent for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties a security
interest in the Collateral (as hereinafter defined).

          (3) Each Grantor is the owner of the shares of stock or other Equity Interests (the “Initial
Pledged Equity”) set forth opposite such Grantor’s name on and as otherwise described in Part I of
Schedule II hereto and issued by the Persons named therein and of the indebtedness (the “Initial
Pledged Debt”) set forth opposite such Grantor’s name on and as otherwise described in Part II of
Schedule II hereto and issued by the obligors named therein.

          (4) The Borrower has security entitlements (the “Pledged Security Entitlements”) with respect
to all the financial assets (the “Pledged Financial Assets”) credited from time to time to the
Borrower’s accounts (the “Securities Accounts”), as described in Part III of Schedule VII hereto.

          (5) The Borrower has opened the Automated Clearing House deposit accounts (the “ACH Deposit
Accounts”), as described in Part I of Schedule VII hereto, and the other deposit accounts (the
“Other Deposit Accounts” and, together with the ACH Deposit Accounts, the “Deposit Accounts”), as
described in Part II of Schedule VII hereto.

          (6) A Letter of Credit collateral deposit account has been opened with Deutsche Bank Trust
Company Americas, in the name of the Administrative Agent and under the sole control and dominion
of the Administrative Agent (the “L/C Collateral Account”).

          (7) It is a condition precedent to the making of Advances and the issuance of Letters of
Credit by the Lender Parties under the Credit Agreement and the entry into Secured Hedge Agreements
by the Hedge Banks from time to time that the Grantors shall have granted the assignment and
security interest and made the pledge and assignment contemplated by this Agreement.

          (8) Each Grantor will derive substantial direct and indirect benefit from the transactions
contemplated by the Loan Documents.

          (9) Terms defined in the Credit Agreement and not otherwise defined in this Agreement are used
in this Agreement as defined in the Credit Agreement. Further, unless otherwise

otherwise with respect to any of the foregoing Collateral, (B) tort claims, including,
without limitation, all commercial tort claims and (C) cash.

          Section 2. Security for Obligations. This Agreement secures, in the case of each Grantor, the

costs, expenses or otherwise (all such Obligations being the “Secured Obligations”).

          Section 3. Grantors Remain Liable. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) each
Grantor shall remain liable under the contracts and agreements included in such Grantor’s
Collateral to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations thereunder
to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the
Administrative Agent of any of the rights hereunder shall not release any Grantor from any of its
duties or obligations under the contracts and agreements included in the Collateral and (c) no
Secured Party shall have any obligation or liability under the contracts and agreements included in
the Collateral by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, nor shall any Secured Party
be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of any Grantor thereunder or to take any
action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.

          Section 4. Delivery and Control of Security Collateral. (a) All certificates or instruments
representing or evidencing Security Collateral shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of
the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto and shall be in suitable form for transfer by delivery, or
shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank, all in form
and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall have the
right, at any time in its discretion and without notice to any Grantor, to transfer to or to
register in the name of the Administrative Agent or any of its nominees any or all of the Security
Collateral, subject only to the revocable rights specified in Section 15(a). For the better
perfection of the Administrative Agent’s rights in and to the Security Collateral, each Grantor
shall forthwith, upon the pledge hereunder of any Security Collateral in which it has any right,
title or interest, cause such Security Collateral to be registered in the name of the
Administrative Agent or such of its nominees as the Administrative Agent shall direct, subject only
to the revocable rights specified in Section 15(a). In addition, the Administrative Agent shall
have the right at any time to exchange certificates or instruments representing or evidencing
Security Collateral for certificates or instruments of
smaller or larger denominations. Also, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at any
time to convert Security Collateral consisting of financial assets credited to the Securities
Accounts to Security Collateral consisting of financial assets held directly by the
Administrative
Agent, and to convert Security Collateral consisting of financial assets held directly by the

6

 

Administrative Agent to Security Collateral consisting of financial assets credited to the
Securities Accounts.

          (b) With respect to any Security Collateral in which any Grantor has any right, title or
interest and that constitutes an uncertificated security, such Grantor will cause the issuer
thereof either (i) to register the Administrative Agent as the registered owner of such security or
(ii) to agree in an authenticated record with such Grantor and the Administrative Agent that such
issuer will comply with instructions with respect to such security originated by the Administrative
Agent without further consent of such Grantor, such authenticated record to be in form and
substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. With respect to any Security Collateral in
which any Grantor has any right, title or interest and that is not an uncertificated security, upon
the request of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor will notify each such issuer of Pledged
Equity that such Pledged Equity is subject to the security interest granted hereunder.

          (c) With respect to any Security Collateral in which any Grantor has any right, title or
interest and that constitutes a security entitlement in which the Administrative Agent is not the
entitlement holder, such Grantor will cause the securities intermediary with respect to such
security entitlement either (i) to identify in its records the Administrative Agent as the
entitlement holder of such security entitlement against such securities intermediary or (ii) to
agree in an authenticated record with such Grantor and the Administrative Agent that such
securities intermediary will comply with entitlement orders (that is, notifications communicated to
such securities intermediary directing transfer or redemption of the financial asset to which such
Grantor has a security entitlement) originated by the Administrative Agent without further consent
of such Grantor, such authenticated record to be in substantially the form of Exhibit D hereto or
otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (such agreement being a
“Securities Account Control Agreement”).

          (d) With respect to any Security Collateral in which any Grantor has any right, title or
interest and that constitutes a commodity contract, such Grantor shall cause the commodity
intermediary with respect to such commodity contract to agree in an authenticated record with such
Grantor and the Administrative Agent that such commodity intermediary will apply any value
distributed on account of such commodity contract as directed by the Administrative Agent without
further consent of such Grantor, such authenticated record to be in substantially the form of
Exhibit E hereto or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (such
agreement being a “Commodity Account Control Agreement”, and all such authenticated records,
together with all Securities Account Control Agreements being, collectively, “Security Control
Agreements”).

          (e) No Grantor will change or add any securities intermediary or commodity intermediary that
maintains any securities account or commodity account in which any of the Collateral is credited or
carried, or change or add any such securities account or commodity account, in each case without
first complying with the above provisions of this Section 4 in order to perfect the security
interest granted hereunder in such Collateral.

          (f) Upon the request of the Administrative Agent, such Grantor will notify each such issuer of
Pledged Debt that such Pledged Debt is subject to the security interest granted hereunder.

          (g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, each Grantor shall not be required to
comply with Section 1 and this Section 4 with respect to Initial Pledged Equity that is identified
as “Pledged Joint Venture Investments” and “Pledged REIT Investments” so long as such
Grantor promptly uses commercially reasonable efforts to seek all consents and other required
approvals for the pledge of such Initial Pledged Equity and fail to obtain same. Upon receipt of
such required approvals, such Grantor shall comply with Section 1 and this Section 4 with respect
to such Initial

7

 

Pledged Equity. If any Grantor fails to obtain any required approval within
forty-five days from the date hereof, such Grantor shall provide a report to the Administrative
Agent on the date that is forty-five days from the date hereof showing in reasonable detail the
efforts undertaken by such Grantor to seek such approval.

          (h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Grantor shall have the right to (i)
modify the terms of and forgive the indebtedness of, the Initial Pledged Debt identified as
“Promissory notes issued from time to time by various TIC and Master Lease Programs” and (ii)
modify the terms of, including, but not limited to, extending the maturity date of, the Initial
Pledged Debt issued by Grubb & Ellis Apartment REIT, Inc., in each case in the ordinary course of
business consistent with past practice without the consent of any Lender Party.

          Section 5. Maintaining the Account Collateral. So long as any Advance or any other Obligation of
any Loan Party under any Loan Document shall remain unpaid, any Letter of Credit shall be
outstanding, any Secured Hedge Agreement shall be in effect or any Lender Party shall have any
Commitment:

     (a) Each Grantor will maintain all Account Collateral only with the Administrative
Agent or with banks (the “Pledged Account Banks”) that have agreed, in a record
authenticated by the Grantor, the Administrative Agent and the Pledged Account Banks, to (i)
comply with instructions originated by the Administrative Agent directing the disposition of
funds in the Account Collateral without the further consent of the Grantor and (ii) waive or
subordinate in favor of the Administrative Agent all claims of the Pledged Account Banks
(including, without limitation, claims by way of a security interest, lien or right of
setoff or right of recoupment) to the Account Collateral, which authenticated record shall
be substantially in the form of Exhibit J hereto for ACH Deposit Accounts or Exhibit B
hereto for Other Deposit Accounts, or shall otherwise be in form and substance satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent (the “Account Control Agreement”).

     (b) Each Grantor will (i) immediately instruct each Person obligated at any time to
make any payment to such Grantor for any reason (an “Obligor”) to make such payment to a
Deposit Account and (ii) deposit in a Deposit Account or pay to the Administrative Agent for
deposit in a Deposit Account, at the end of each Business Day, all proceeds of Collateral
and all other cash of such Grantor.

     (c) Each Grantor agrees that it will not add any bank that maintains a deposit account
for such Grantor or open any new deposit account with any then existing Pledged Account Bank
unless (i) the Administrative Agent shall have received at least 10 days’ prior written
notice of such additional bank or such new deposit account and (ii) the Administrative Agent
shall have received, in the case of a bank or Pledged Account Bank that is not the
Administrative Agent, an Account Control Agreement authenticated by such new bank and such
Grantor, or a supplement to an existing Account Control Agreement with such then existing
Pledged Account Bank, covering such new deposit account (and, upon the receipt by the
Administrative Agent of such Account Control Agreement or supplement, Schedule VII hereto
shall be automatically amended to include such Deposit Account). Each Grantor agrees that
it will not terminate any bank as a Pledged Account Bank or terminate any Account
Collateral.

     (d) Upon any termination by a Grantor of any Deposit Account by such Grantor, or any
Pledged Account Bank with respect thereto, such Grantor will immediately (i) transfer all
funds and property held in such terminated Deposit Account to another Deposit Account listed
in Part II of Schedule VII and (ii) notify all Obligors that were making payments to such
Deposit

8

 

Account to make all future payments to another Deposit Account listed in Part II of
Schedule VII hereto so that the Administrative Agent shall have a continuously perfected
security interest in such Account Collateral, funds and property. Each Grantor agrees to
terminate any or all Account Collateral and Account Control Agreements upon request by the
Administrative Agent.

     (e) The Borrower may draw checks on, and otherwise withdraw amounts only from, the
Deposit Accounts and in such amounts as may be required in the ordinary course of business
(including, without limitation, to pay or prepay Debt outstanding under the Loan Documents).

     (f) The Administrative Agent shall have sole right to direct the disposition of funds
with respect to the Collateral Account and the L/C Collateral Account; and it shall be a
term and condition of each of the Collateral Account and the L/C Collateral Account,
notwithstanding any term or condition to the contrary in any other agreement relating to the
Collateral Account and the L/C Collateral Account, as the case may be, that no amount
(including, without limitation, interest on Cash Equivalents credited thereto) will be paid
or released to or for the account of, or withdrawn by or for the account of, the Borrower or
any other Person from the Collateral Account and the L/C Collateral Account, as the case may
be.

     (g) The Administrative Agent may, (i) at any time and without notice to, or consent
from, the Grantor, transfer, or direct the transfer of, funds from the Account Collateral to
satisfy the Grantor’s obligations under the Loan Documents if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing and (ii) at any time after the Collateral Account has been opened
and without notice to, or consent from, the Grantor, transfer, or direct the transfer of,
funds from the Deposit Accounts to the Collateral Account.

          Section 6. Investing of Amounts in the Collateral Account and the L/C Collateral Account. The
Administrative Agent will, subject to the provisions of Sections 5, 7 and 23, at any time after the
Collateral Account or L/C Collateral Account, as the case may be, has been opened, from time to
time (a) invest, or direct the applicable Pledged Account Bank to invest, amounts received with
respect to the Collateral Account and the L/C Collateral Account in such Cash Equivalents credited
to (A) the Collateral Account and the L/C Collateral Account, respectively, as the Borrower may
select and the Administrative Agent may approve or (B) in the case of Cash Equivalents consisting
of Securities Collateral, a securities account in which the Administrative Agent is the securities
intermediary or a securities account subject to a Securities Account Control Agreement, and (b)
invest interest paid on the Cash Equivalents referred to in clause (a) above, and reinvest other
proceeds of any such Cash Equivalents that may mature or be sold, in each case in such Cash
Equivalents credited in the same manner. Interest and proceeds that are not invested or reinvested
in Cash Equivalents as provided above shall be deposited and held in the relevant Collateral
Account or L/C Collateral Account. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall have the right at
any time to exchange, or direct the applicable Pledged Account Bank to exchange, such Cash
Equivalents for similar Cash Equivalents of smaller or larger determinations, or for other Cash
Equivalents, credited to the Collateral Account or the L/C Collateral Account, as the case may be.

          Section 7. Release of Amounts. So long as no Default under Section 6.01(a) or (f) of the Credit Agreement or Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Administrative Agent will pay and release, or
direct the applicable Pledged Account Bank to pay and release, to the Borrower or at its order or,
at the request of the Borrower, to the Administrative Agent to be applied to the Obligations of the
Borrower under the Loan Documents, in the case of the L/C Collateral Account, such amount, if any,
as is then on deposit in the L/C Collateral Account to the extent permitted to be released under
the terms of the Credit Agreement and, in the case of the Collateral Account, the amount, if any,
by which the aggregate principal amount of the Cash Equivalents credited to the Collateral

9

 

Account
exceeds all amounts then due and payable under the Loan Documents together with all accrued and
unpaid interest and fees under the Credit Agreement.

          Section 8. Maintaining Electronic Chattel Paper, Transferable Records and Letter-of-Credit Rights and
Giving Notice of Commercial Tort Claims. So long as any Advance or any other Obligation of any
Loan Party under any Loan Document shall remain unpaid, any Letter of Credit shall be outstanding,
any Secured Hedge Agreement shall be in effect or any Lender Party shall have any Commitment:

     (a) Each Grantor will maintain all (i) electronic chattel paper so that the
Administrative Agent has control of the electronic chattel paper in the manner specified in
Section 9-105 of the UCC and (ii) all transferable records so that the Administrative Agent

Electronic Transactions Act, as in effect in the jurisdiction governing such transferable
record (“UETA”);

     (b) Each Grantor will maintain all letter-of-credit rights assigned to the
Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, all letter-of-credit rights associated
with each letter of credit that is designated on Schedule X as constituting Collateral
(each, a “Collateral L/C”), if any, so that the Administrative Agent has control of the
letter-of-credit rights in the manner specified in Section 9-107 of the UCC; and

     (c) Each Grantor will immediately give notice to the Administrative Agent of any
commercial tort claim that may arise in the future and will immediately execute or otherwise
authenticate a supplement to this Agreement, and otherwise take all necessary action, to
subject such commercial tort claim to the first priority security interest created under
this Agreement.

any recording office, except such as may have been filed in favor of the Administrative
Agent relating to the Loan Documents or as otherwise permitted under the Credit Agreement.

     (d) Such Grantor has exclusive possession and control of the Equipment and Inventory
other than Inventory stored at any leased premises or warehouse for which a landlord’s or
warehouseman’s agreement, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, is
in effect and which leased premises or warehouse is so indicated by an asterisk on Schedule
IV hereto, as such Schedule IV may be amended from time to time pursuant to Section 11(a).
In the case of Equipment and Inventory located on leased premises or in warehouses, no
lessor or warehouseman of any premises or warehouse upon or in which such Equipment or
Inventory is located has (i) issued any warehouse receipt or other receipt in the nature of
a warehouse receipt in respect of any Equipment or Inventory, (ii) issued any document for
any of such Grantor’s Equipment or Inventory, (iii) received notification of any secured
party’s interest (other than the security interest granted hereunder) in such Grantor’s

     (e) The Pledged Equity pledged by such Grantor hereunder has been duly authorized and
validly issued and is fully paid and non-assessable. With respect to the Pledged Equity
that is an uncertificated security, such Grantor has caused the issuer thereof either (i) to
register the Administrative Agent as the registered owner of such security or (ii) to agree
in an authenticated record with such Grantor and the Administrative Agent that such issuer
will comply with instructions with respect to such security originated by the Administrative
Agent without further consent of such Grantor. If such Grantor is an issuer of Pledged
Equity, such Grantor confirms that it has received notice of such security interest. The
Pledged Debt pledged by such Grantor hereunder has been duly authorized, authenticated or
issued and delivered, is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the issuers thereof, is
evidenced by one or more promissory notes (which notes have been delivered to the
Administrative Agent) and is not in default.

     (f) The Initial Pledged Equity pledged by such Grantor constitutes the percentage of
the issued and outstanding Equity Interests of the issuers thereof indicated on Schedule II
hereto. The Initial Pledged Debt constitutes all of the outstanding indebtedness owed to
such Grantor by the issuers thereof and is outstanding in the principal amount indicated on
Schedule II hereto.

of which (other than the Hedge Agreements) have been furnished to each Secured Party, have
been duly authorized, executed and delivered by such Grantor and, to such Grantor’s
knowledge, by all other parties thereto, have not been amended, amended and restated,
supplemented or otherwise modified, are in full force and effect and are binding upon and

11

 

enforceable against such Grantor and, to such Grantor’s knowledge, against all other parties
thereto in accordance with their terms. There exists no default under any Assigned
Agreement to which such Grantor is a party by such Grantor or, to such Grantor’s knowledge,
by any other party thereto.

     (i) Such Grantor has no deposit accounts, other than the Account Collateral listed on
Schedule VII hereto, as such Schedule VII may be amended from time to time pursuant to
Section 5(d), and legal, binding and enforceable Account Control Agreements are in effect
for each deposit account that constitutes Account Collateral (other than Account Collateral
consisting of deposit accounts maintained with the Administrative Agent). With respect to
Account Control Agreements executed prior to December 2007, where the ownership of the
account holder has changed or as requested by the Administrative Agent, legal, binding and
enforceable account control ratifications, substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto, or
shall otherwise be in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (each, an
“Account Control Ratification”) are in effect. Such Grantor has instructed all existing
Obligors to make all payments to a Deposit Account.

     (j) Such Grantor is not a beneficiary or assignee under any letter of credit, other
than the letters of credit described in Schedule X hereto, as such Schedule X may be amended
from time to time, and legal, binding and enforceable Consents to Assignment of Letter of
Credit Rights, in the form of the Consent to Assignment of Letter of Credit Rights attached
hereto as Exhibit H, are in effect for each Collateral L/C. Such Grantor has instructed all
issuers and nominated persons under any Collateral L/C in which the Grantor is the
beneficiary or assignee to make all payments to a Deposit Account.

     (k) All filings and other actions (including, without limitation, (A) actions necessary
to obtain control of Collateral as provided in Sections 9-104, 9-105, 9-106 and 9-107 of the
UCC and Section 16 of UETA and (B) actions necessary to perfect the Administrative Agent’s
security interest with respect to Collateral evidenced by a certificate of ownership)
necessary to perfect the security interest in the Collateral of such Grantor created under
this Agreement have been duly made or taken and are in full force and effect, and this
Agreement creates in favor of the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties a valid and, together with such filings and other actions, perfected first priority
security interest in the Collateral of such Grantor, securing the payment of the Secured
Obligations.

     (l) No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with,
any governmental authority or regulatory body or any other third party is required for (i)
the grant by such Grantor of the security interest granted hereunder or for the execution,
delivery or performance of this Agreement by such Grantor, (ii) the perfection or
maintenance of the security interest created hereunder (including the first priority nature
of such security interest), except for the filing of financing and continuation statements
under the UCC, the recordation of the
Intellectual Property Security Agreements referred to in Section 14(f) with the U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office and the U.S. Copyright Office and the actions described in
Section 4 with respect to Security Collateral, or (iii) the exercise by the Administrative
Agent of its voting or other rights provided for in this Agreement or the remedies in
respect of the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement, except as may be required in
connection with the disposition of any portion of the Security Collateral by laws affecting
the offering and sale of securities generally.

     (m) The Inventory that has been produced or distributed by such Grantor has been
produced in compliance with all requirements of applicable law, including, without
limitation, the Fair Labor Standards Act.

further instruments and documents, and take all further action that may be necessary or desirable,
or that the Administrative Agent may request, in order to perfect and protect any pledge or
security interest

14

 

granted or purported to be granted by such Grantor hereunder or to enable the
Administrative Agent to exercise and enforce its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to any
Collateral of such Grantor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Grantor will
promptly with respect to Collateral of such Grantor: (i) mark conspicuously each document included
in Inventory, each chattel paper included in Receivables, each Related Contract, each Assigned
Agreement and, at the request of the Administrative Agent, each of its records pertaining to such
Collateral with a legend, in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,
indicating that such document, chattel paper, Related Contract, Assigned Agreement or Collateral is
subject to the security interest granted hereby; (ii) if any such Collateral shall be evidenced by

Administrative Agent evidence that all other action that the Administrative Agent may deem
reasonably necessary or desirable in order to perfect and protect the security interest created by
such Grantor under this Agreement has been taken. From time to time upon request by the
Administrative Agent, each Grantor will, at such Grantor’s expense, cause to be delivered to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties, an opinion of counsel, from outside
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as to such matters relating to the
transactions contemplated hereby as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request.

          (b) Each Grantor hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent to file one or more financing or
continuation statements, and amendments thereto, including, without limitation, one or more
financing statements indicating that such financing statements cover all assets or all personal
property (or words of similar effect) of such Grantor, in each case without the signature of such
Grantor, and
regardless of whether any particular asset described in such financing statements falls within
the scope of the UCC or the granting clause of this Agreement. A photocopy or other reproduction
of this Agreement or any financing statement covering the Collateral or any part thereof shall be
sufficient as a financing statement where permitted by law. Each Grantor ratifies its
authorization for the Administrative Agent to have filed such financing statements, continuation
statements or amendments filed prior to the date hereof.

          (c) Each Grantor will furnish to the Administrative Agent from time to time statements and
schedules further identifying and describing the Collateral of such Grantor and such other reports
in connection with such Collateral as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, all in
reasonable detail.

15

 

          (d) Within two Business Days after the request of the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall
open the Collateral Account and the L/C Collateral Account with Deutsche Bank Trust Company
Americas, or such other financial institution as the Administrative Agent may direct.

          Section 11. As to Equipment and Inventory. (a) Each Grantor will keep the Equipment and
Inventory of such Grantor (other than Inventory sold in the ordinary course of business) at the
places therefor specified in Section 9(b) or at such other locations designated by the Grantor by
written notice to the Administrative Agent within 10 days of the placement of any Equipment and
Inventory at such other locations. Upon the giving of such notice, Schedule IV shall be
automatically amended to add any new locations specified in the notice.

          (b) Each Grantor will cause the Equipment of such Grantor to be maintained and preserved in
the same condition, repair and working order as when new, ordinary wear and tear excepted, and in
accordance with any manufacturer’s manual, and will forthwith, or in the case of any loss or damage
to any of such Equipment as soon as practicable after the occurrence thereof, make or cause to be
made all repairs, replacements and other improvements in connection therewith that are necessary or
desirable to such end. Each Grantor will promptly furnish to the Administrative Agent a statement
respecting any loss or damage to any of the Equipment or Inventory of such Grantor.

          (c) Each Grantor will pay promptly when due all property and other taxes, assessments and
governmental charges or levies imposed upon, and all claims (including, without limitation, claims
for labor, materials and supplies) against, the Equipment and Inventory of such Grantor, except to
the extent payment thereof is not required by Section 5.01(b) of the Credit Agreement. In
producing its Inventory, each Grantor will comply with all requirements of applicable law,
including, without limitation, the Fair Labor Standards Act.

          Section 12. Insurance. (a) Each Grantor will, at its own expense, maintain insurance with
respect to the Equipment and Inventory of such Grantor in such amounts, against such risks, in such
form and with such insurers, as shall be satisfactory to the Administrative Agent from time to
time. Each policy of each Grantor for liability insurance shall provide for all losses to be paid
on behalf of the Administrative Agent and such Grantor as their interests may appear, and each
policy for property damage insurance shall provide for all losses (except for losses of less than
$500,000 per occurrence) to be paid directly to the Administrative Agent. Each such policy shall
in addition (i) name such Grantor and the Administrative Agent as insured parties thereunder
(without any representation or warranty by or obligation upon the Administrative Agent) as their
interests may appear, (ii) contain the agreement by the insurer that any loss thereunder shall be
payable to the Administrative Agent notwithstanding any action, inaction or breach of
representation or warranty by such Grantor, (iii) provide that there shall be no recourse against
the Administrative Agent for payment of premiums or other amounts with respect thereto and
(iv) provide that at least 10 days’ prior written notice of cancellation or of lapse shall be given
to the Administrative Agent by the insurer. Each Grantor will, at the request of the
Administrative Agent, duly execute and deliver instruments of assignment of such insurance policies
to comply with the requirements of Section 11 and cause the insurers to acknowledge notice of such
assignment.

          (b) Reimbursement under any liability insurance maintained by any Grantor pursuant to this
Section 12 may be paid directly to the Person who shall have incurred liability covered by such
insurance. In case of any loss involving damage to Equipment or Inventory when subsection (c) of
this Section 12 is not applicable, the applicable Grantor will make or cause to be made the
necessary repairs to or replacements of such Equipment or Inventory, and any proceeds of insurance
properly received by or released to such Grantor shall be used by such Grantor, except as otherwise required hereunder
or by the Credit Agreement, to pay or as reimbursement for the costs of such repairs or
replacements.

16

 

          (c) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all insurance
payments received by the Administrative Agent in connection with any loss, damage or destruction of
any Inventory or Equipment will be released by the Administrative Agent to the applicable Grantor
for the repair, replacement or restoration thereof, subject to such terms and conditions with
respect to the release thereof as the Administrative Agent may reasonably require. To the extent
that (i) the amount of any such insurance payments exceeds the cost of any such repair, replacement
or restoration, or (ii) such insurance payments are not otherwise required by the applicable
Grantor to complete any such repair, replacement or restoration required hereunder, the
Administrative Agent will not be required to release the amount thereof to such Grantor and may
hold or continue to hold such amount in the Collateral Account as additional security for the
Secured Obligations of such Grantor (except that the Administrative Agent will direct the
applicable Pledged Account Bank to release to such Grantor any such amount if and to the extent
that any prepayment of Obligations is required under the Credit Agreement in connection with the
receipt of such amount and such prepayment has been made). Upon the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default or the actual or constructive total loss (in excess of $500,000
per occurrence) of any Equipment or Inventory, all insurance payments in respect of such Equipment
or Inventory shall be paid to the Administrative Agent and shall, in the Administrative Agent’s
sole discretion, (i) be released to the applicable Grantor to be applied as set forth in the first
sentence of this subsection (c) or (ii) be held as additional Collateral hereunder or applied as
specified in Section 23(b).

          Section 13. Post-Closing Changes; Bailees; Collections on Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related
Contracts. (a) No Grantor will change its name, type of organization, jurisdiction of
organization, organizational identification number or location from those set forth in Section 9(a)
of this Agreement without first giving at least 30 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent and taking all action required by the Administrative Agent for the purpose of perfecting or
protecting the security interest granted by this Agreement. No Grantor will change the location of
the Equipment and Inventory or the place where it keeps the originals of the Assigned Agreements
and Related Contracts to which such Grantor is a party and all originals of all chattel paper that
evidence Receivables of such Grantor from the locations therefor specified in Sections 9(a) and
9(b) without first giving the Administrative Agent 30 days’ prior written notice of such change.
No Grantor will become bound by a security agreement authenticated by another Person (determined as
provided in Section 9-203(d) of the UCC) without giving the Administrative Agent 30 days’ prior
written notice thereof and taking all action required by the Administrative Agent to ensure that
the perfection and first priority nature of the Administrative Agent’s security interest in the
Collateral will be maintained. Each Grantor will hold and preserve its records relating to the
Collateral, including, without limitation, the Assigned Agreements and Related Contracts, and will
permit representatives of the Administrative Agent at any time during normal business hours to
inspect and make abstracts from such records and other documents. If the Grantor does not have an
organizational identification number and later obtains one, it will forthwith notify the
Administrative Agent of such organizational identification number.

          (b) If any Collateral of any Grantor is at any time in the possession or control of a
warehouseman, bailee or agent, or if the Administrative Agent so requests such Grantor will (i)
notify such warehouseman, bailee or agent of the security interest created hereunder, (ii) instruct
such warehouseman, bailee or agent to hold all such Collateral solely for the Administrative
Agent’s account subject only to the Administrative Agent’s instructions (which shall permit such
Collateral to be removed by such Grantor in the ordinary course of business until the
Administrative Agent notifies such warehouseman, bailee or agent that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing), (iii)
use commercially reasonable efforts, to cause such warehouseman, bailee or agent to authenticate a
record acknowledging that it holds possession of such Collateral for the Administrative Agent’s
benefit and shall act solely on the instructions of the Administrative Agent without the further
consent of the Grantor or any other Person, and (iv) make such authenticated record available to
the Administrative Agent.

17

 

          (c) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection (c), each Grantor will continue to
collect, at its own expense, all amounts due or to become due such Grantor under the Assigned
Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts. In connection with such collections, such Grantor
may take (and, at the Administrative Agent’s direction, will take) such action as such Grantor or
the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to enforce collection of the Assigned
Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent
shall have the right at any time, upon written notice to such Grantor of its intention to do so, to
notify the Obligors under any Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts of the
assignment of such Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts to the Administrative
Agent and to direct such Obligors to make payment of all amounts due or to become due to such
Grantor thereunder directly to the Administrative Agent and, upon such notification and at the
expense of such Grantor, to enforce collection of any such Assigned Agreements, Receivables and
Related Contracts, to adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof, in the same
manner and to the same extent as such Grantor might have done, and to otherwise exercise all rights
with respect to such Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts, including, without
limitation, those set forth set forth in Section 9-607 of the UCC. After receipt by any Grantor of
the notice from the Administrative Agent referred to in the proviso to the preceding sentence,
(i) all amounts and proceeds (including, without limitation, instruments) received by such Grantor
in respect of the Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts of such Grantor shall be
received in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent hereunder, shall be segregated from
other funds of such Grantor and shall be forthwith, but in no event prior to the date on which the
Collateral Account has been opened, paid over to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so
received (with any necessary indorsement) to be deposited in the Collateral Account and either
(A) released to such Grantor on the terms set forth in Section 7 so long as no Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing or (B) if any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, applied as provided in Section 23(b) and (ii) such Grantor will not adjust, settle or
compromise the amount or payment of any Receivable or amount due on any Assigned Agreement or
Related Contract, release wholly or partly any Obligor thereof, or allow any credit or discount
thereon. No Grantor will permit or consent to the subordination of its right to payment under any
of the Assigned Agreements, Receivables and Related Contracts to any other indebtedness or
obligations of the Obligor thereof.

          Section 14. As to Intellectual Property Collateral. (a) With respect to each item of its
Intellectual Property Collateral, each Grantor agrees to take, at its expense, all necessary steps,
including, without limitation, in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office
and any other governmental authority, to (i) maintain the validity and enforceability of such
Intellectual Property Collateral and maintain such Intellectual Property Collateral in full force
and effect, and (ii) pursue the registration and maintenance of each patent, trademark, or
copyright registration or application, now or hereafter included in such Intellectual Property
Collateral of such Grantor, including, without limitation, the payment of required fees and taxes,
the filing of responses to office actions issued by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S.
Copyright Office or other governmental authorities, the filing of applications for renewal or
extension, the filing of affidavits under Sections 8 and 15 of the U.S. Trademark Act, the filing
of divisional, continuation, continuation-in-part, reissue and renewal applications or extensions,
the payment of maintenance fees and the participation in interference, reexamination, opposition,
cancellation, infringement and misappropriation proceedings. No Grantor shall, without the written
consent of the Administrative Agent, discontinue use of or otherwise abandon any Intellectual Property Collateral, or abandon any right to file an application for
patent, trademark, or copyright, unless such Grantor shall have previously determined that such use
or the pursuit or maintenance of such Intellectual Property Collateral is no longer desirable in
the conduct of such Grantor’s business and that the loss thereof would not be reasonably likely to
have a Material Adverse Effect, in which case, such Grantor will give prompt notice of any such
abandonment to the Administrative Agent.

18

 

          (b) Each Grantor agrees promptly to notify the Administrative Agent if such Grantor becomes
aware (i) that any item of the Intellectual Property Collateral may have become abandoned, placed
in the public domain, invalid or unenforceable, or of any adverse determination or development
regarding such Grantor’s ownership of any of the Intellectual Property Collateral or its right to
register the same or to keep and maintain and enforce the same, or (ii) of any adverse
determination or the institution of any proceeding (including, without limitation, the institution
of any proceeding in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or any court) regarding any item of the
Intellectual Property Collateral.

          (c) In the event that any Grantor becomes aware that any item of the Intellectual Property
Collateral is being infringed or misappropriated by a third party, such Grantor shall promptly
notify the Administrative Agent and shall take such actions, at its expense, as such Grantor or the
Administrative Agent deems reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances to protect or enforce
such Intellectual Property Collateral, including, without limitation, suing for infringement or
misappropriation and for an injunction against such infringement or misappropriation.

          (d) Each Grantor shall use proper statutory notice in connection with its use of each item of
its Intellectual Property Collateral. No Grantor shall do or permit any act or knowingly omit to
do any act whereby any of its Intellectual Property Collateral may lapse or become invalid or
unenforceable or placed in the public domain.

          (e) Each Grantor shall take all steps which it or the Administrative Agent deems reasonable
and appropriate under the circumstances to preserve and protect each item of its Intellectual
Property Collateral, including, without limitation, maintaining the quality of any and all products
or services used or provided in connection with any of the Trademarks, consistent with the quality
of the products and services as of the date hereof, and taking all steps necessary to ensure that
all licensed users of any of the Trademarks use such consistent standards of quality.

          (f) With respect to its Intellectual Property Collateral, each Grantor agrees to execute or
otherwise authenticate an agreement, in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit F hereto or
otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative Agent (an “Intellectual Property
Security Agreement”), for recording the security interest granted hereunder to the Administrative
Agent in such Intellectual Property Collateral with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S.
Copyright Office and any other governmental authorities necessary to perfect the security interest
hereunder in such Intellectual Property Collateral.

          (g) Each Grantor agrees that should it obtain an ownership interest in any item of the type
set forth in Section 1(g) that is not on the date hereof a part of the Intellectual Property
Collateral (“After-Acquired Intellectual Property”) (i) the provisions of this Agreement shall
automatically apply thereto, and (ii) any such After-Acquired Intellectual Property and, in the
case of trademarks, the goodwill symbolized thereby, shall automatically become part of the
Intellectual Property Collateral subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect
thereto. Each Grantor shall give prompt written notice to the Administrative Agent identifying the
After-Acquired Intellectual Property, and such Grantor shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent with such written notice, or otherwise authenticate, an agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit G hereto or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory
to the Administrative Agent (an “IP Security Agreement Supplement”) covering such
After-Acquired Intellectual Property which IP Security Agreement Supplement shall be recorded with
the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the U.S. Copyright Office and any other governmental
authorities necessary to perfect the security interest hereunder in such After-Acquired
Intellectual Property.

any part thereof.

     (ii) Each Grantor shall be entitled to receive and retain any and all dividends,
interest and other distributions paid in respect of the Security Collateral of such Grantor

     (iii) The Administrative Agent will execute and deliver (or cause to be executed and
delivered) to each Grantor all such proxies and other instruments as such Grantor may

Section 15(a)(i) shall, upon notice to such Grantor by the Administrative Agent, cease and
(y) to receive the dividends, interest and other distributions that it would otherwise be
authorized to receive and retain pursuant to Section 15(a)(ii) shall automatically cease,
and all such rights shall thereupon become vested in the Administrative Agent, which shall
thereupon have the sole right to exercise or refrain from exercising such voting and other
consensual rights and to receive and hold as Security Collateral such dividends, interest
and other distributions.

     (ii) All dividends, interest and other distributions that are received by any Grantor
contrary to the provisions of paragraph (i) of this Section 15(b) shall be received in trust

     (i) perform and observe all terms and provisions of the Assigned Agreements to be
performed or observed by it, maintain the Assigned Agreements to which it is a party in full
force and effect, enforce the Assigned Agreements to which it is a party in accordance with
the terms thereof and take all such action to such end as may be requested from time to time

accept any cancellation or termination thereof;

          Section 18. As to Letter-of-Credit Rights. (a) Each Grantor, by granting a security interest in
its Receivables consisting of letter-of-credit rights to the Administrative Agent, intends to (and
hereby does) assign to the Administrative Agent its rights (including its contingent rights) to the
proceeds of all Related Contracts consisting of letters of credit of which it is or hereafter
becomes a beneficiary or assignee. Each Grantor will promptly cause the issuer of each Collateral
L/C and each nominated person (if any) with respect thereto to consent to such assignment of the
proceeds thereof in substantially the form of the Consent to Assignment of Letter of Credit Rights
attached hereto as Exhibit H or otherwise in form and substance satisfactory to the Administrative
Agent and deliver written evidence of such consent to the Administrative Agent.

          Section 19. Transfers and Other Liens; Additional Shares. (a) Each Grantor agrees that it will
not (i) sell, assign or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the
Collateral, other than sales, assignments and other dispositions of Collateral, and options

to exist any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Collateral of such Grantor except for the
pledge, assignment and security interest created under this Agreement and Permitted Liens.

          (b) In the case where a subsidiary of a Loan Party is the issuer of Pledged Equity each
Grantor agrees that it will (i) cause each issuer of the Pledged Equity pledged by such Grantor not
to issue any Equity Interests or other securities in addition to or in substitution for the Pledged
Equity issued by such issuer, except to such Grantor, and (ii) pledge hereunder, immediately upon
its acquisition (directly or indirectly) thereof, any and all additional Equity Interests or other
securities.

          Section 20. Administrative Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact . Each Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints the Administrative Agent such Grantor’s
attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Grantor and in the name of
such Grantor or otherwise, from time to time, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of a
Default, in the Administrative Agent’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument
that the Administrative Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this
Agreement, including, without limitation:

     (a) to obtain and adjust insurance required to be paid to the Administrative Agent
pursuant to Section 12,

     (b) to ask for, demand, collect, sue for, recover, compromise, receive and give
acquittance and receipts for moneys due and to become due under or in respect of any of the
Collateral,

     (c) to receive, indorse and collect any drafts or other instruments, documents and
chattel paper, in connection with clause (a) or (b) above, and

22

 

     (d) to file any claims or take any action or institute any proceedings that the
Administrative Agent may deem necessary or desirable for the collection of any of the
Collateral or otherwise to enforce compliance with the terms and conditions of any Assigned
Agreement or the rights of the Administrative Agent with respect to any of the Collateral.

          Section 21. Administrative Agent May Perform. If any Grantor fails to perform any agreement
contained herein, the Administrative Agent may, but without any obligation to do so and without
notice, itself perform, or cause performance of, such agreement, and the expenses of the
Administrative Agent incurred in connection therewith shall be payable by such Grantor under
Section 24.

          Section 22. The Administrative Agent’s Duties. (a) The powers conferred on the Administrative
Agent hereunder are solely to protect the Secured Parties’ interest in the Collateral and shall not
impose any duty upon it to exercise any such powers. Except for the safe custody of any Collateral
in its possession and the accounting for moneys actually received by it hereunder, the
Administrative Agent shall have no duty as to any Collateral, as to ascertaining or taking action
with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relative to any
Collateral, whether or not any Secured Party has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters, or
as to the taking of any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties or any other rights
pertaining to any Collateral. The Administrative Agent shall be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any Collateral in its possession if such
Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which it accords its own property.

          (b) Anything contained herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Administrative Agent may
from time to time, when the Administrative Agent deems it to be necessary, appoint one or more
subagents (each a “Subagent”) for the Administrative Agent hereunder with respect to all or any
part of the Collateral. In the event that the Administrative Agent so appoints any Subagent with
respect to any Collateral, (i) the assignment and pledge of such Collateral and the security
interest granted in such Collateral by each Grantor hereunder shall be deemed for purposes of this
Security Agreement to have been made to such Subagent, in addition to the Administrative Agent, for
the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties, as security for the Secured Obligations of such
Grantor, (ii) such Subagent shall automatically be vested, in addition to the Administrative Agent,
with all rights, powers, privileges,
interests and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder with respect to such Collateral,
and (iii) the term “Administrative Agent,” when used herein in relation to any rights, powers,
privileges, interests and remedies of the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral,
shall include such Subagent; provided, however, that no such Subagent shall be authorized to take
any action with respect to any such Collateral unless and except to the extent expressly authorized
in writing by the Administrative Agent.

          Section 23. Remedies. If any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing:

     (a) The Administrative Agent may exercise in respect of the Collateral, in addition to
other rights and remedies provided for herein or otherwise available to it, all the rights
and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC (whether or not the UCC applies
to the affected Collateral) and also may: (i) require each Grantor to, and each Grantor
hereby agrees that it will at its expense and upon request of the Administrative Agent
forthwith, assemble all or part of the Collateral as directed by the Administrative Agent
and make it available to the Administrative Agent at a place and time to be designated by
the Administrative Agent that is reasonably convenient to both parties; (ii) without notice
except as specified below, sell the Collateral or any part thereof in one or more parcels at
public or private sale, at any of the Administrative Agent’s offices or elsewhere, for cash,
on credit or for future delivery, and upon

23

 

such other terms as the Administrative Agent may
deem commercially reasonable; (iii) occupy any premises owned or leased by any of the
Grantors where the Collateral or any part thereof is assembled or located for a reasonable
period in order to effectuate its rights and remedies hereunder or under law, without
obligation to such Grantor in respect of such occupation; and (iv) exercise any and all
rights and remedies of any of the Grantors under or in connection with the Collateral, or
otherwise in respect of the Collateral, including, without limitation, (A) any and all
rights of such Grantor to demand or otherwise require payment of any amount under, or
performance of any provision of, the Assigned Agreements, the Receivables, the Related
Contracts and the other Collateral, (B) withdraw, or cause or direct the withdrawal, of all
funds with respect to the Account Collateral and (C) exercise all other rights and remedies
with respect to the Assigned Agreements, the Receivables, the Related Contracts and the
other Collateral, including, without limitation, those set forth in Section 9-607 of the
UCC. Each Grantor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at
least ten days’ notice to such Grantor of the time and place of any public sale or the time
after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification. The
Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to make any sale of Collateral regardless of
notice of sale having been given. The Administrative Agent may adjourn any public or
private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and
such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so
adjourned.

     (b) Any cash held by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent and all cash proceeds
received by or on behalf of the Administrative Agent in respect of any sale of, collection
from, or other realization upon all or any part of the Collateral may, in the discretion of
the Administrative Agent, be held by the Administrative Agent as collateral for, and/or then
or at any time thereafter applied (after payment of any amounts payable to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 24) in whole or in part by the Administrative Agent
for the ratable benefit of the Secured Parties against, all or any part of the Secured
Obligations, in the following manner:

     (i) first, paid to the Administrative Agent for any amounts then owing to the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 9.04 of the Credit Agreement or otherwise
under the Loan Documents; and

     (ii) second, ratably (A) paid to the Lender Parties and the Hedge Banks,
respectively, for any amounts then owing to them, in their capacities as such, under
the Loan Documents ratably in accordance with such respective amounts then owing to
such Lender Parties and the Hedge Banks, provided that, for purposes of this Section
23, the amount owing to any such Hedge Bank pursuant to any Secured Hedge Agreement
to which it is a party (other than any amount therefore accrued and unpaid) shall be
deemed to be equal to the Agreement Value therefor and (B) deposited as Collateral
in the L/C Collateral Account up to an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate
Available Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit, provided that in the event
that any such Letter of Credit is drawn, the Administrative Agent shall pay to the
Issuing Bank that issued such Letter of Credit the amount held in the L/C Collateral
Account in respect of such Letter of Credit, provided further that, to the extent
that any such Letter of Credit shall expire or terminate undrawn and as a result
thereof the amount of the Collateral in the L/C Collateral Account shall exceed 100%
of the aggregate Available Amount of all then outstanding Letters of Credit, such
excess amount of such Collateral shall be applied in accordance with the remaining
order of priority set out in this Section 23(b).

24

 

Any surplus of such cash or cash proceeds held by or on the behalf of the Administrative
Agent and remaining after payment in full of all the Secured Obligations shall be paid over
to the applicable Grantor or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive such surplus.

     (c) All payments received by any Grantor under or in connection with any Assigned
Agreement or otherwise in respect of the Collateral shall be received in trust for the
benefit of the Administrative Agent, shall be segregated from other funds of such Grantor
and shall be forthwith paid over to the Administrative Agent in the same form as so received
(with any necessary indorsement).

     (d) The Administrative Agent may, without notice to any Grantor except as required by
law and at any time or from time to time, charge, set-off and otherwise apply all or any
part of the Secured Obligations against any funds held with respect to the Account
Collateral or in any other deposit account.

     (e) In the event of any sale or other disposition of any of the Intellectual Property
Collateral of any Grantor, the goodwill symbolized by any Trademarks subject to such sale or
other disposition shall be included therein, and such Grantor shall supply to the
Administrative Agent or its designee such Grantor’s know-how and expertise, and documents
and things relating to any Intellectual Property Collateral subject to such sale or other
disposition, and such Grantor’s customer lists and other records and documents relating to
such Intellectual Property Collateral and to the manufacture, distribution, advertising and
sale of products and services of such Grantor.

          Section 24. Indemnity and Expenses. (a) Each Grantor agrees to indemnify, defend and save and
hold harmless each Secured Party and each of their Affiliates and their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents and advisors (each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, and
shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses (including,
without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted or
awarded against any Indemnified Party, in each case arising out of or in connection with or
resulting from this Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Agreement),
except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability or expense is found in a final, non-
appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such
Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.

          (b) Each Grantor will upon demand pay to the Administrative Agent the amount of any and all
reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel
and of any experts and agents, that the Administrative Agent may incur in connection with (i) the
administration of this Agreement, (ii) the custody, preservation, use or operation of, or the sale
of, collection from or other realization upon, any of the Collateral of such Grantor, (iii) the
exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the other Secured
Parties hereunder or (iv) the failure by such Grantor to perform or observe any of the provisions
hereof.

          Section 25. Amendments; Waivers; Additional Grantors; Etc. (a) No amendment or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement, and no consent to any departure by any Grantor herefrom, shall in any
event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, and
then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given. No failure on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Secured
Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising any right hereunder, shall operate as a waiver
thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

25

 

          (b) Upon the execution and delivery, or authentication, by any Person of a security agreement
supplement in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (each a “Security Agreement Supplement”),
(i) such Person shall be referred to as an “Additional Grantor” and shall be and become a Grantor
hereunder, and each reference in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to “Grantor” shall
also mean and be a reference to such Additional Grantor, and each reference in this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents to “Collateral” shall also mean and be a reference to the Collateral of
such Additional Grantor, and (ii) the supplemental schedules I-X attached to each Security
Agreement Supplement shall be incorporated into and become a part of and supplement Schedules I-X,
respectively, hereto, and the Administrative Agent may attach such supplemental schedules to such
Schedules; and each reference to such Schedules shall mean and be a reference to such Schedules as
supplemented pursuant to each Security Agreement Supplement.

          Section 26. Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications provided for hereunder shall be
either (i) in writing (including telegraphic, telecopier or telex communication) and mailed,
telegraphed, telecopied, telexed or otherwise delivered or (ii) by electronic mail (if electronic
mail addresses are designated as provided below) confirmed immediately in writing, in the case of
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, addressed to it at its address specified in the Credit
Agreement and, in the case of each Grantor other than the Borrower, addressed to it at its address
specified in the Credit Agreement or on the signature page to the Security Agreement Supplement
pursuant to which it became a party hereto; or, as to any party, at such other address as shall be
designated by such party in a written notice to the other parties. All such notices and other
communications shall, when mailed, telegraphed, telecopied, telexed, sent by electronic mail or
otherwise, be effective when deposited in the mails, delivered to the telegraph company,
telecopied, confirmed by telex answerback, sent by electronic mail and confirmed in writing, or
otherwise delivered (or confirmed by a signed receipt), respectively, addressed as aforesaid;
except that notices and other communications to the Administrative Agent shall not be effective
until received by the Administrative Agent. Delivery by telecopier of an executed counterpart of
any amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of any Security Agreement Supplement
or Schedule hereto shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart thereof.

          Section 27. Continuing Security Interest; Assignments under the Credit Agreement. This Agreement
shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (a) remain in full force
and effect until the latest of (i) the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations, (ii) the
Termination Date and (iii) the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and all Secured
Hedge Agreements, (b) be binding upon each Grantor, its successors and assigns and (c) inure,
together with the rights and remedies of the Administrative Agent hereunder, to the benefit of the
Secured Parties and their respective successors, transferees and assigns. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing clause (c), any Lender Party may assign or otherwise transfer all or
any portion of its rights and obligations under the Credit Agreement (including, without
limitation, all or any portion of its Commitments, the Advances owing to it and the Note or Notes,
if any, held by it) to any other Person, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with
all the benefits in respect thereof granted to such Lender Party herein or otherwise, in each case
as provided in Section 8.07 of the Credit Agreement.

          Section 28. Release; Termination. (a) Upon any sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of any
item of Collateral of any Grantor in accordance with the terms of the Loan Documents (other than
sales of Inventory in the ordinary course of business), the Administrative Agent will, at such
Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Grantor such documents as such Grantor shall
reasonably request to evidence the release of such item of Collateral from the assignment and
security interest granted hereby; provided, however, that (i) at the time of such request and such
release no Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) such Grantor shall have delivered to
the Administrative Agent, at least ten Business Days prior to the date of the proposed release, a
written request for release describing

26

 

the item of Collateral and the terms of the sale, lease,
transfer or other disposition in reasonable detail, including, without limitation, the price
thereof and any expenses in connection therewith, together with a form of release for execution by
the Administrative Agent and a certificate of such Grantor to the effect that the transaction is in
compliance with the Loan Documents and as to such other matters as the Administrative Agent may
request and (iii) the proceeds of any such sale, lease, transfer or other disposition required to
be applied, or any payment to be made in connection therewith, in accordance with Section 2.06 of
the Credit Agreement shall, to the extent so required, be paid or made to, or in accordance with
the instructions of, the Administrative Agent when and as required under Section 2.06 of the Credit
Agreement.

          (b) Upon the latest of (i) the payment in full in cash of the Secured Obligations, (ii) the
Termination Date and (iii) the termination or expiration of all Letters of Credit and all Secured
Hedge Agreements, the pledge and security interest granted hereby shall terminate and all rights to
the Collateral shall revert to the applicable Grantor. Upon any such termination, the
Administrative Agent will, at the applicable Grantor’s expense, execute and deliver to such Grantor
such documents as such Grantor shall reasonably request to evidence such termination.

          Section 29. Execution in Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which
taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Delivery of an executed counterpart of
a signature page to this Agreement by telecopier shall be effective as delivery of an original
executed counterpart of this Agreement.

          Section 30. The Mortgages. In the event that any of the Collateral hereunder is also subject to a
valid and enforceable Lien under the terms of any Mortgage and the terms of such Mortgage are
inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement, then with respect to such Collateral, the terms of such Mortgage
shall be controlling in the case of fixtures and real estate leases, letting and licenses of, and
contracts and agreements relating to the lease of, real property, and the terms of this Agreement
shall be controlling in the case of all other Collateral.

          Section 31. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with,
the laws of the State of New York.
