§2. THE REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY.

     §2.1 Loans.

          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Lenders
severally agrees to lend to the Borrower, and the Borrower may borrow (and repay and reborrow) from
time to time between the Closing Date and the Maturity Date upon notice by the Borrower to the
Agent given in accordance with §2.6, such sums as are requested by the Borrower for the purposes
set forth in §2.8 up to a maximum aggregate principal amount outstanding (after giving effect to
all amounts requested) at any one time equal to the lesser of (i) such Lender’s Commitment and (ii)
such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the sum of (A) the Borrowing Base Advance Amount minus (B)
the sum of (1) the amount of all outstanding Loans and (2) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit
Liabilities; provided, that, in all events no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing; and provided, further, that the outstanding principal
amount of the Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested) and Letter of Credit Liabilities
shall not at any time exceed the Total Commitment or

24

 

cause a violation of the covenant set forth in §9.1. The Loans shall be made pro
rata in accordance with each Lender’s Commitment Percentage. Each request for a Loan
hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all of the conditions
required of Borrower set forth in §10 and §11 have been satisfied on the date of such request. The
Agent may assume that the conditions in §10 and §11 have been satisfied unless it receives prior
written notice from a Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied. No Lender shall have
any obligation to make Loans to Borrower in the maximum aggregate principal outstanding balance of
more than the principal face amount of such Lender’s Note.

          (b) The Loans shall be evidenced by separate promissory notes of Borrower in substantially the
form of Exhibit A hereto (collectively, the “Notes”), dated of even date with this
Agreement (except as otherwise provided in §18.3) and completed with appropriate insertions. One
Note shall be payable to the order of each Lender in the principal amount equal to such Lender’s
Commitment or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Loans made by such Lender, plus interest
accrued thereon, as set forth below. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes Agent to make or cause to
be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Loan or the time of receipt of any
payment of principal thereof, an appropriate notation on Agent’s Record reflecting the making of
such Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Loans
set forth on Agent’s Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount
thereof owing and unpaid to each Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording,
any such amount on Agent’s Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the
Borrower hereunder or under any Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any such Note
when due.

     §2.2 Facility Unused Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of
the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages a facility unused fee
calculated each day at the rate per annum of 0.15% on the daily amount by which the Total
Commitment exceeds the outstanding principal amount of Loans and the face amount of Letters of
Credit Outstanding during each calendar quarter or portion thereof commencing on the date hereof
and ending on the Maturity Date. The facility unused fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on
the first (1st) day of each calendar quarter for the immediately preceding calendar
quarter or portion thereof, and on any earlier date on which the Commitments shall be reduced or
shall terminate as provided in §2.3, with a final payment on the Maturity Date.

     §2.3 Reduction and Termination of the Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right
at any time and from time to time upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent
to reduce by $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (provided
that in no event shall the Total Commitment be reduced in such manner to an amount less than
$37,500,000.00, other than in the case of a termination of the facility by the Borrower) or to
terminate entirely the unborrowed portion of the Commitments (provided that such
termination would not result in the Total Commitment being reduced to an amount less than
$37,500,000.00), whereupon the Commitments of the Lenders shall be reduced pro rata in accordance
with their respective Commitment Percentages of the amount specified in such notice or, as the case
may be, terminated, any such termination or reduction to be without penalty except as otherwise set
forth in §4.8; provided, however, that no such termination or reduction shall be
permitted if, after giving effect thereto, the sum of Outstanding Loans and the Letter of Credit
Liabilities would exceed the Commitments of the Lenders as so terminated or reduced.

25

 

Promptly after receiving any notice from the Borrower delivered pursuant to this §2.3, the
Agent will notify the Lenders of the substance thereof. Any reduction of the Commitments shall
also result in a proportionate reduction (rounded to the next lowest integral multiple of $100,000)
in the maximum amount of Letters of Credit. Upon the effective date of any such reduction or
termination, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders the
full amount of any facility fee under §2.2 then accrued on the amount of the reduction. No
reduction or termination of the Commitments may be reinstated.

     §2.4 [Intentionally omitted.]

     §2.5 Interest on Loans.

          (a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date
thereof and ending on the date on which such Base Rate Loan is repaid or converted to a LIBOR Rate
Loan at the rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin.

          (b) Each LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date
thereof and ending on the last day of each Interest Period with respect thereto at the rate per
annum equal to the sum of LIBOR determined for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Margin.

          (c) The Borrower promises to pay interest on each Loan in arrears on each Interest Payment
Date with respect thereto.

          (d) Base Rate Loans and LIBOR Rate Loans may be converted to Loans of the other Type as
provided in §4.1.

     §2.6 Requests for Loans. Except with respect to the initial Loan on the Closing Date,
the Borrower shall give to the Agent written notice executed by an Authorized Officer in the form
of Exhibit C hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing in the form of Exhibit
G hereto) of each Loan requested hereunder (a “Loan Request”) by 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time)
one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Base Rate Loans and two
(2) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans. Each such
notice shall specify with respect to the requested Loan the proposed principal amount of such Loan,
the Type of Loan, the initial Interest Period (if applicable) for such Loan and the Drawdown Date.
Each such notice shall also contain (i) a general statement as to the purpose for which such
advance shall be used (which purpose shall be in accordance with the terms of §2.8) and (ii) a
certification by the chief financial officer or chief accounting officer of Parent that the
Borrower and the Guarantors are and will be in compliance with all covenants under the Loan
Documents after giving effect to the making of such Loan. Promptly upon receipt of any such
notice, the Agent shall notify each of the Lenders thereof. Each such Loan Request shall be
irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Loan
requested from the Lenders on the proposed Drawdown Date. Each Loan Request shall be (a) for a
Base Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of
$100,000.00 in excess thereof; or (b) for a LIBOR Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of
$1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $200,000.00 in excess thereof;

26

 

provided, however, that there shall be no more than ten (10) LIBOR Rate Loans
outstanding at any one time.

     §2.7 Funds for Loans.

          (a) Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Loans, each
of the Lenders will make available to the Agent, at the Agent’s Head Office, in immediately
available funds, the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of the requested
Loans which may be disbursed pursuant to §2.1. Upon receipt from each Lender of such amount, and
upon receipt of the documents required by §10 and §11 and the satisfaction of the other conditions
set forth therein, to the extent applicable, the Agent will make available to the Borrower the
aggregate amount of such Loans made available to the Agent by the Lenders by crediting such amount
to the account of the Borrower maintained at the Agent’s Head Office. The failure or refusal of
any Lender to make available to the Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date the
amount of its Commitment Percentage of the requested Loans shall not relieve any other Lender from
its several obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent the amount of such other Lender’s
Commitment Percentage of any requested Loans, including any additional Loans that may be requested
subject to the terms and conditions hereof to provide funds to replace those not advanced by the
Lender so failing or refusing. In the event of any such failure or refusal, the Lenders not so
failing or refusing shall be entitled to a priority secured position as against the Lender or
Lenders so failing or refusing to make available to the Borrower the amount of its or their
Commitment Percentage for such Loans as provided in §12.5.

          (b) Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Drawdown
Date that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of a
proposed Loan, Agent may in its discretion assume that such Lender has made such Loan available to
Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Agent may, if it chooses, in
reliance upon such assumption make such Loan available to the Borrower, and such Lender shall be
liable to the Agent for the amount of such advance. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding
amount upon the Agent’s demand therefor, the Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, and the
Borrower shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to the Agent. The Agent shall also be
entitled to recover from the Lender or the Borrower, as the case may be, interest on such
corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such corresponding amount was made
available by the Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the
Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrower at the applicable rate for such Loan or
(ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one percent (1%).

     §2.8 Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans and the Letters
of Credit solely to (a) pay closing costs in connection with this Agreement; (b) to finance
Borrower’s direct and indirect investments in Real Estate and Mortgage Receivables; and (c) for
general working capital purposes.

     §2.9 Letters of Credit.

          (a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at any time and from time
to time from the Closing Date through the day that is ninety (90) days prior to the Maturity Date,
the Issuing Lender shall issue such Letters of Credit as the Borrower may request upon the delivery
of a written request in the form of Exhibit D hereto (a “Letter of Credit Request”) to the
Issuing Lender, provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, (ii) upon issuance of such Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not
exceed Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00), (iii) in no event shall the sum of (A) the Loans
Outstanding and (B) the amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to all Letters
of Credit requested) exceed the Total Commitment, (iv) in no event shall the outstanding principal
amount of the Loans and Letters of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to any requested Letters
of Credit) cause a violation of the covenant set forth in §9.1, (v) the conditions set forth in
§§10 and 11 shall have been satisfied, (vi) no Lender is a Delinquent Lender (provided Issuing
Lender may, in its sole discretion, be entitled to waive this condition), and (vii) in no event
shall any amount drawn under a Letter of Credit be available for reinstatement or a subsequent
drawing under such Letter of Credit. The Issuing Lender may assume that the conditions in §10 and
§11 have been satisfied unless it receives written notice from a Lender that such conditions have
not been satisfied. Each Letter of Credit Request shall be executed by an Authorized Officer of
Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Person’s authority to
request a Letter of Credit on behalf of Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall have no duty to verify
the authenticity of any signature appearing on a Letter of Credit Request. The Borrower assumes
all risks with respect to the use of the Letters of Credit. Unless the Issuing Lender and the
Required Lenders otherwise consent, the term of any Letter of Credit shall not exceed a period of
time commencing on the issuance of the Letter of Credit and ending on the date which is five (5)
days prior to the Maturity Date, or to the Maturity Date to the extent any such Letter of Credit
has been cash collateralized in a manner reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Issuing
Lender (but in any event the term shall not extend beyond the Maturity Date). The amount available
to be drawn under any Letter of Credit shall reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis the amount
available to be drawn under the Total Commitment as a Loan. The Existing Letter of Credit shall
upon the Closing Date be deemed to be a Letter of Credit under this Agreement.

          (b) Each Letter of Credit Request shall be submitted to the Issuing Lender at least five (5)
Business Days (or such shorter period as the Issuing Lender may approve) prior to the date upon
which the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued. Each such Letter of Credit Request shall
contain (i) a statement as to the purpose for which such Letter of Credit shall be used (which
purpose shall be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), and (ii) a certification by the
chief financial or chief accounting officer of Parent that the Borrower is and will be in
compliance with all covenants under the Loan Documents after giving effect to the issuance of such
Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall further deliver to the Issuing Lender such additional
applications (which application as of the date hereof is in the form of Exhibit H attached
hereto) and documents as the Issuing Lender may reasonably require, in conformity with the then
standard practices of its letter of credit department, in connection with the issuance of such
Letter of Credit; provided that in the event of any conflict, the terms of this Agreement
shall control.

28

 

          (c) The Issuing Lender shall, subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, issue the
Letter of Credit on or before five (5) Business Days following receipt of the documents last due
pursuant to §2.9(b). Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Issuing Lender in its reasonable discretion.

          (d) Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a
participation therein from Issuing Lender in an amount equal to its respective Commitment
Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit. No Lender’s obligation to participate in a
Letter of Credit shall be affected by any other Lender’s failure to perform as required herein with
respect to such Letter of Credit or any other Letter of Credit.

          (e) Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender
(i) for its own account, a Letter of Credit fee calculated at the rate of one-eighth of one percent
(0.125%) per annum of the amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (which fee shall
not be less than $1,500 in any event), and (ii) for the accounts of the Lenders (including the
Issuing Lender) in accordance with their respective percentage shares of participation in such
Letter of Credit, a Letter of Credit fee calculated at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable
Margin then applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans on the amount available to be drawn under such Letter of
Credit. Such fees shall be payable in quarterly installments in arrears with respect to each
Letter of Credit on the first day of each calendar quarter following the date of issuance and
continuing on each quarter or portion thereof thereafter, as applicable, or on any earlier date on
which the Commitments shall terminate and on the expiration or return of any Letter of Credit. In
addition, the Borrower shall pay to Issuing Lender for its own account within five (5) days of
demand of Issuing Lender the standard issuance and documentation charges for Letters of Credit
issued from time to time by Issuing Lender.

          (f) In the event that any amount is drawn under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof,
the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender by having such amount drawn treated as an
outstanding Base Rate Loan under this Agreement (Borrower being deemed to have requested a Base
Rate Loan on such date in an amount equal to the amount of such drawing and such amount drawn shall
be treated as an outstanding Base Rate Loan under this Agreement) and the Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender by telex, telecopy, telegram, telephone (confirmed in writing) or other similar
means of transmission, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Agent, for the
Issuing Lender’s own account, an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such Letter
of Credit (to the extent of the amount drawn). If and to the extent any Lender shall not make such
amount available on the Business Day on which such draw is funded, such Lender agrees to pay such
amount to the Agent forthwith on demand, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date
on which such draw was funded until the date on which such amount is paid to the Agent, at the
Federal Funds Effective Rate until three (3) days after the date on which the Agent gives notice of
such draw and at the Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one percent (1.0%) for each day thereafter.
Further, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and
interest on its Loans, amounts due with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit and any
other amounts due to it hereunder to the Agent to fund the amount of any drawn Letter of Credit
which such Lender was required to fund pursuant to this §2.9(f) until such amount has been funded
(as a result of such assignment or otherwise). In the event of any such failure or refusal, the
Lenders not so failing or refusing shall be entitled to a priority secured position for

29

 

such amounts as provided in §12.5. The failure of any Lender to make funds available to the
Agent in such amount shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make funds
available to the Agent pursuant to this §2.9(f).

          (g) If after the issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to §2.9(c) by the Issuing Lender, but
prior to the funding of any portion thereof by a Lender, for any reason a drawing under a Letter of
Credit cannot be refinanced as a Loan, each Lender will, on the date such Loan pursuant to §2.9(f)
was to have been made, purchase an undivided participation interest in the Letter of Credit in an
amount equal to its Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit. Each Lender will
immediately transfer to the Issuing Lender in immediately available funds the amount of its
participation and upon receipt thereof the Issuing Lender will deliver to such Lender a Letter of
Credit participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.

          (h) Whenever at any time after the Issuing Lender has received from any Lender any such
Lender’s payment of funds under a Letter of Credit and thereafter the Issuing Lender receives any
payment on account thereof, then the Issuing Lender will distribute to such Lender its
participation interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to
reflect the period of time during which such Lender’s participation interest was outstanding and
funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the
Issuing Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Issuing Lender any
portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.

          (i) The issuance of any supplement, modification, amendment, renewal or extension to or of any
Letter of Credit shall be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of
Credit.

          (j) [Intentionally omitted.]

          (k) Borrower assumes all risks of the acts, omissions, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by
the beneficiary thereof. Neither Agent, Issuing Lender nor any Lender will be responsible for (i)
the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Letter of Credit or
any document submitted by any party in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, even
if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient,
inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or
legal effect of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any
Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof in whole or in part,
which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of any beneficiary of
any Letter of Credit to comply fully with the conditions required in order to demand payment under
a Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of
any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise; (v) errors in interpretation of
technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document or draft
required by or from a beneficiary in order to make a disbursement under a Letter of Credit or the
proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the
proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and (viii) for any consequences arising from
causes beyond the control of Agent or any Lender. None of the foregoing will affect, impair or
prevent the vesting of any of the rights or powers granted to Agent, Issuing Lender or

30

 

the Lenders hereunder. In furtherance and extension and not in limitation or derogation of
any of the foregoing, any act taken or omitted to be taken by Agent, Issuing Lender or the other
Lenders in good faith will be binding on Borrower and will not put Agent, Issuing Lender or the
other Lenders under any resulting liability to Borrower; provided nothing contained herein
shall relieve Issuing Lender for liability to Borrower arising as a result of the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of Issuing Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after
the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods.

     §2.10 Increase in Total Commitment.

          (a) Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to
the terms and conditions set forth in this §2.10, the Borrower shall have the option at any time
and from time to time before the date that is forty-five (45) days prior to the Maturity Date (or
the extended maturity date if Borrower exercises its extension option pursuant to §2.11) to request
an increase in the Total Commitment to not more than $125,000,000.00 by giving written notice to
the Agent (an “Increase Notice”; and the amount of such requested increase is the “Commitment
Increase”), provided that any such individual increase must be in a minimum amount of
$5,000,000.00. Upon receipt of any Increase Notice, the Agent shall consult with Arranger and
shall notify the Borrower of the amount of facility fees to be paid to any Lenders who provide an
additional Commitment in connection with such increase in the Total Commitment (which shall be in
addition to the fees to be paid to Arranger pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Fees). If the
Borrower agrees to pay the facility fees so determined, then the Agent shall send a notice to all
Lenders (the “Additional Commitment Request Notice”) informing them of the Borrower’s request to
increase the Total Commitment and of the facility fees to be paid with respect thereto. Each
Lender who desires to provide an additional Commitment upon such terms shall provide Agent with a
written commitment letter specifying the amount of the additional Commitment by which it is willing
to provide prior to such deadline as may be specified in the Additional Commitment Request Notice.
If the requested increase is oversubscribed then the Agent and the Arranger shall allocate the
Commitment Increase among the Lenders who provide such commitment letters on such basis as the
Agent and the Arranger shall determine in their sole discretion. If the additional Commitments so
provided are not sufficient to provide the full amount of the Commitment Increase requested by the
Borrower, then the Agent, Arranger or Borrower may, but shall not be obligated to, invite one or
more banks or lending institutions (which banks or lending institutions shall be reasonably
acceptable to Agent, Arranger and Borrower) to become a Lender and provide an additional
Commitment. The Agent shall provide all Lenders with a notice setting forth the amount, if any, of
the additional Commitment to be provided by each Lender and the revised Commitment Percentages
which shall be applicable after the effective date of the Commitment Increase specified therein
(the “Commitment Increase Date”). In no event shall any Lender be obligated to provide an
additional Commitment.

          (b) On any Commitment Increase Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall be
reallocated among the Lenders such that after the applicable Commitment Increase Date the
outstanding principal amount of Loans owed to each Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s
Commitment Percentage (as in effect after the applicable Commitment Increase Date) of the
outstanding principal amount of all Loans. The participation interests of the Lenders in Letters
of Credit shall be similarly adjusted. On any Commitment Increase Date those

31

 

Lenders whose Commitment Percentages are increasing shall advance the funds to the Agent and
the funds so advanced shall be distributed among the Lenders whose Commitment Percentages are
decreasing as necessary to accomplish the required reallocation of the outstanding Loans. The
funds so advanced shall be Base Rate Loans until converted to LIBOR Rate Loans which are allocated
among all Lenders based on their Commitment Percentages. To the extent such reallocation results
in certain Lenders receiving funds which are applied to LIBOR Rate Loans prior to the last day of
the applicable Interest Period, then the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the
affected Lenders the Breakage Costs for each such Lender (provided that the parties agree to
attempt to coordinate the closing of any increase of the Total Commitment to minimize Breakage
Costs that may come due); provided, however, each Lender agrees to apply any
amounts received by them pursuant to this §2.10(b) first to the principal of any Base Rate Loans
held by such Lender and then to the principal of LIBOR Rate Loans held by such Lender.

          (c) Upon the effective date of each increase in the Total Commitment pursuant to this §2.10
the Agent may unilaterally revise Schedule 1 and the Borrower shall execute and deliver to
the Agent new Notes for each Lender whose Commitment has changed so that the principal face amount
of such Lender’s Note shall equal its Commitment. The Agent shall deliver such replacement Notes
to the respective Lenders in exchange for the Notes replaced thereby which shall be surrendered by
such Lenders. Such new Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes
and that they do not constitute a novation, shall be dated as of the Commitment Increase Date and
shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the replaced Notes. Within five (5) days of
issuance of any new Notes pursuant to this §2.10(c), the Borrower shall deliver an opinion of
counsel, addressed to the Lenders and the Agent, relating to the due authorization, execution and
delivery of such new Notes and the enforceability thereof, in form and substance substantially
similar to the opinion delivered in connection with the first disbursement under this Agreement.
The surrendered Notes shall be promptly canceled and returned to the Borrower.

          (d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligation of the Agent and
the Lenders to increase the Total Commitment pursuant to this §2.10 shall be conditioned upon
satisfaction of the following conditions precedent which must be satisfied prior to the
effectiveness of any increase of the Total Commitment:

               (i) Payment of Activation Fee. The Borrower shall pay (A) to the Agent those fees
described in and contemplated by the Agreement Regarding Fees with respect to the applicable
Commitment Increase, and (B) to the Arranger such facility fees as the Lenders who are providing an
additional Commitment may require to increase the aggregate Commitment, which fees shall, when
paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances. The Arranger shall pay to the
Lenders acquiring the increased Commitment certain fees pursuant to their separate agreement; and

               (ii) No Default. On the date any Increase Notice is given and on the date such
increase becomes effective, both immediately before and after the Total Commitment is increased,
there shall exist no Default or Event of Default; and

               (iii) Representations True. The representations and warranties made by the Borrower
and the Guarantors in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of

32

 

the Borrower and the Guarantors in connection therewith or after the date thereof shall have
been true and correct in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all
material respects on the date of such Increase Notice and on the date the Total Commitment is
increased (except to the extent of any changes resulting from transactions permitted by this
Agreement that singly or in the aggregate have not had or could not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect, and except to the extent such representations relate expressly to an
earlier date, which representations shall be required to be true and correct only as of such
specified date), both immediately before and after the Total Commitment is increased; and

               (iv) Additional Documents and Expenses. The Borrower and the Guarantors shall execute
and deliver to Agent and the Lenders such additional documents (including, without limitation,
amendments to the Security Documents), instruments, certifications and opinions as the Agent may
reasonably require, including, without limitation, a Compliance Certificate, demonstrating
compliance with all covenants, representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Documents after
giving effect to the increase, and the Borrower shall pay all recording costs and fees, and any and
all intangible taxes or other documentary taxes, assessments or charges or any similar fees, taxes
or expenses which are or are to be incurred by Agent, Arranger or the Lenders in connection with
such increase; and

               (v) Other. The Borrower shall satisfy such other conditions to such increase as Agent
may require in its reasonable discretion.

     §2.11 Extension of Maturity Date. The Borrower shall have the one-time right and
option, in its sole discretion, to extend the Maturity Date to December 29, 2010, upon satisfaction
of the following conditions precedent, which must be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of any
extension of the Maturity Date:

          (a) Extension Request. The Borrower shall deliver written notice of such request (the
“Extension Request”) to the Agent not later than the date which is forty-five (45) days prior to
the Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension). Any such Extension Request
shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.

          (b) Payment of Extension Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the pro
rata accounts of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments an extension
fee in an amount equal to twenty (20) basis points on the Total Commitment in effect on the
Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension), which fee shall, when paid, be
fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances.

          (c) No Default. On the date the Extension Request is given and on the Maturity Date
(as determined without regard to such extension) there shall exist no Default or Event of Default.

          (d) Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties made by the
Borrower and the Guarantors in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Borrower
and the Guarantors in connection therewith or after the date thereof shall have been true and
correct in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all material
respects on the date the Extension Request is given and on the Maturity Date (as

33

 

determined without regard to such extension) other than for representations to the extent they
relate expressly to an earlier date, which representations shall be required to be true and correct
only as of such specified date, and except to the extent of any changes resulting from transactions
permitted by this Agreement that singly or in the aggregate have not had or could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (e) Updated Appraisals. Agent at its option, in its reasonable discretion, shall have
obtained from an Approved Appraiser at Borrower’s expense new Appraisals or updates to existing
Appraisals and determined the current Appraised Values of the Subject Properties and the properties
subject to Eligible Notes Receivable included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base Value.

§3. REPAYMENT OF THE LOANS.

     §3.1 Stated Maturity. The Borrower promises to pay on the Maturity Date and there
shall become absolutely due and payable on the Maturity Date all of the Loans outstanding on such
date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

     §3.2 Mandatory Prepayments. If at any time the sum of the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities exceeds (a) the Total Commitment
or (b) the Borrowing Base Advance Amount, then the Borrower shall, within five (5) Business Days of
such occurrence, pay the amount of such excess to the Agent for the respective accounts of the
Lenders, as applicable, for application to the Loans as provided in §3.4, together with any
additional amounts payable pursuant to §4.8.

     §3.3 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to
prepay the outstanding amount of the Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time without penalty or
premium, and in the case of prepayment in full, at Borrower’s election, to terminate the
Commitments; provided, that if any prepayment of the outstanding amount of any LIBOR Rate
Loans pursuant to this §3.3 is made on a date that is not the last day of the Interest Period
relating thereto, such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of any amounts due pursuant
to §4.8. The Borrower shall give the Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) at least
three (3) days prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this §3.3, in each case
specifying the proposed date of prepayment of the Loans and the principal amount to be prepaid
(provided that any such notice may be revoked or modified upon one (1) day’s prior notice to the
Agent).

     §3.4 Partial Prepayments. Each partial prepayment of the Loans under §3.3 shall be in
a minimum amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof, shall
be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment.
Each partial payment under §3.2 and §3.3 shall be applied in the absence of instruction by the
Borrower, to the principal of Base Rate Loans and then to the principal of LIBOR Rate Loans.

     §3.5 Effect of Prepayments. Amounts of the Loans prepaid under §3.2 and §3.3 prior to
the Maturity Date may be reborrowed as provided in §2.

34

 

§4. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.

     §4.1 Conversion Options.

          (a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any of its outstanding Loans to a Loan
of another Type and such Loans shall thereafter bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate
Loan, as applicable; provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate
Loan to a Base Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent at least one (1) Business Day’s prior
written notice of such election, and such conversion shall only be made on the last day of the
Interest Period with respect to such LIBOR Rate Loan, unless Borrower elects to pay the Breakage
Costs association with such conversion; (ii) with respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate
Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent at least two (2) LIBOR Business Days’
prior written notice of such election and the Interest Period requested for such Loan, the
principal amount of the Loan so converted shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000.00
or an integral multiple of $200,000.00 in excess thereof and, after giving effect to the making of
such Loan, there shall be no more than ten (10) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time; and
(iii) no Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing. All or any part of the outstanding Loans of any Type may be converted
as provided herein, provided that no partial conversion shall result in a Base Rate Loan in
a principal amount of less than $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 or a LIBOR
Rate Loan in a principal amount of less than $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $200,000.00.
On the date on which such conversion is being made, each Lender shall take such action as is
necessary to transfer its Commitment Percentage of such Loans to its Domestic Lending Office or its
LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be. Each Conversion/Continuation Request relating to the
conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by the Borrower.

          (b) Any LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such Type upon the expiration of an Interest
Period with respect thereto by compliance by the Borrower with the terms of §4.1; provided
that no LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such when any Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, but shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the
Interest Period relating thereto ending during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default.

          (c) In the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent of its election hereunder with
respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan, such Loan shall be automatically continued as a LIBOR Rate Loan for
the same Interest Period (unless such Interest Period shall be greater than the time remaining
until the Maturity Date, in which case the Interest Period shall be the Interest Period closest to
the time remaining, without exceeding the time to the Maturity Date) at the end of the applicable
Interest Period.

     §4.2 Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to KeyBank certain fees for services rendered
or to be rendered in connection with the Loans as provided pursuant to the separate fee letter
dated September 15, 2006 between Parent and KeyBank (the “Agreement Regarding Fees”). All such
fees shall be fully earned when paid and nonrefundable under any circumstances.

     §4.3 [Intentionally Omitted.]

35

 

     §4.4 Funds for Payments.

          (a) All payments of principal, interest, facility fees, Letter of Credit fees, closing fees
and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made to the
Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders and the Agent, as the case may be, at the Agent’s
Head Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the day when due, in each case in lawful
money of the United States in immediately available funds. The Agent is hereby authorized to
charge the accounts of the Borrower with KeyBank, on the dates when the amount thereof shall become
due and payable, with the amounts of the principal of and interest on the Loans and all fees,
charges, expenses and other amounts owing to the Agent and/or the Lenders under the Loan Documents.
Subject to the foregoing, all payments made to Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and actually
received by Agent, shall be deemed received by the Lenders on the date actually received by Agent.

          (b) All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be
made without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes
(other than income or franchise taxes imposed on any Lender), levies, imposts, duties, charges,
fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or
hereafter imposed or levied by any jurisdiction or any political subdivision thereof or taxing or
other authority therein unless the Borrower is compelled by law to make such deduction or
withholding. If any such obligation is imposed upon the Borrower with respect to any amount
payable by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower will pay to the
Agent, for the account of the Lenders or (as the case may be) the Agent, on the date on which such
amount is due and payable hereunder or under such other Loan Document, such additional amount in
Dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Lenders or the Agent to receive the same net amount
which the Lenders or the Agent would have received on such due date had no such obligation been
imposed upon the Borrower. The Borrower will deliver promptly to the Agent certificates or other
valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid with respect to payments made
by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document.

          (c) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, if
requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do
so), shall provide the Borrower with such duly executed form(s) or statement(s) which may, from
time to time, be prescribed by law and, which, pursuant to applicable provisions of (i) an income
tax treaty between the United States and the country of residence of such Lender, (ii) the Code, or
(iii) any applicable rules or regulations in effect under (i) or (ii) above, indicates the
withholding status of such Lender; provided that nothing herein (including without
limitation the failure or inability to provide such form or statement) shall relieve the Borrower
of its obligations under §4.4(b). In the event that the Borrower shall have delivered the
certificates or vouchers described above for any payments made by the Borrower and such Lender
receives a refund of any taxes paid by the Borrower pursuant to §4.4(b), such Lender will pay to
the Borrower the amount of such refund promptly upon receipt thereof; provided that if at
any time thereafter such Lender is required to return such refund, the Borrower shall promptly
repay to such Lender the amount of such refund.

36

 

          (d) The obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders under this Agreement (and of the Lenders to
make payments to the Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit) shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the
following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter
of Credit or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) any improper use which may be made of any Letter
of Credit or any improper acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of
Credit in connection therewith; (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or any right
which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may have at any time against any
beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or persons or entities for whom any such
beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting) or the Lenders (other than the defense of payment
to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any other person, whether in
connection with any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any unrelated
transaction; (iv) any draft, demand, certificate, statement or any other documents presented under
any Letter of Credit proving to be insufficient, forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or
any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (v) any breach of any
agreement between Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and any beneficiary or
transferee of any Letter of Credit; (vi) any irregularity in the transaction with respect to which
any Letter of Credit is issued, including any fraud by the beneficiary or any transferee of such
Letter of Credit; (vii) payment by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against
presentation of a sight draft, demand, certificate or other document which does not comply with the
terms of such Letter of Credit, provided that such payment shall not have constituted gross
negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender as determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods; (viii) any
non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of such
Letter of Credit; (ix) the legality, validity, form, regularity or enforceability of the Letter of
Credit; (x) the failure of any payment by Issuing Lender to conform to the terms of a Letter of
Credit (if, in Issuing Lender’s good faith judgment, such payment is determined to be appropriate);
(xi) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the
terms of any of the Loan Documents; (xii) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; and
(xiii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing, provided that such other circumstances or happenings shall not have been the
result of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender as determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods.

     §4.5 Computations. All computations of interest on the Loans and of other fees to the
extent applicable shall be based on a 360-day year and paid for the actual number of days elapsed.
Except as otherwise provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to LIBOR
Rate Loans, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a
day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. The Outstanding Loans as
reflected on the records of the Agent from time to time shall be considered prima facie evidence of
such amount absent manifest error.

     §4.6 Suspension of LIBOR Rate Loans. In the event that, prior to the commencement of
any Interest Period relating to any LIBOR Rate Loan, the Agent shall in its good faith

37

 

discretion determine that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR
for such Interest Period, or the Agent shall reasonably determine that LIBOR will not accurately
and fairly reflect the cost of the Lenders making or maintaining LIBOR Rate Loans for such Interest
Period, the Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and
binding on the Borrower and the Lenders absent manifest error) to the Borrower and the Lenders. In
such event (a) any Loan Request with respect to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be automatically withdrawn
and shall be deemed a request for a Base Rate Loan and (b) each LIBOR Rate Loan will automatically,
on the last day of the then current Interest Period applicable thereto, become a Base Rate Loan,
and the obligations of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Agent
determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the
Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders thereof.

     §4.7 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any present or
future law, regulation, treaty or directive or the interpretation or application thereof shall make
it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority having jurisdiction over a Lender
or its LIBOR Lending Office shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make or maintain
LIBOR Rate Loans, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to the Agent and
the Borrower and thereupon (a) the commitment of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall
forthwith be suspended and (b) the LIBOR Rate Loans then outstanding shall be converted
automatically to Base Rate Loans on the last day of each Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR
Rate Loans or within such earlier period as may be required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
before giving such notice, the applicable Lender shall designate a different lending office if such
designation will void the need for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender,
be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender or increase any costs payable by Borrower
hereunder.

     §4.8 Additional Interest. If any LIBOR Rate Loan or any portion thereof is repaid or
is converted to a Base Rate Loan for any reason on a date which is prior to the last day of the
Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan, or if repayment of the Loans has been
accelerated as provided in §12.1, the Borrower will pay to the Agent upon demand for the account of
the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages, in addition to
any amounts of interest otherwise payable hereunder, the Breakage Costs. Borrower understands,
agrees and acknowledges the following: (i) no Lender has any obligation to purchase, sell and/or
match funds in connection with the use of LIBOR as a basis for calculating the rate of interest on
a LIBOR Rate Loan; (ii) LIBOR is used merely as a reference in determining such rate; and (iii)
Borrower has accepted LIBOR as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating such rate and any
Breakage Costs. Borrower further agrees to pay the Breakage Costs, if any, whether or not a Lender
elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds.

     §4.9 Additional Costs, Etc. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, but
subject to §4.14, if any present or future applicable law, which expression, as used herein,
includes statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and interpretations thereof by any competent
court or by any governmental or other regulatory body or official charged with the administration
or the interpretation thereof and requests, directives, instructions and notices at any time or
from time to time hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Lender or the Agent by any central
bank or other fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having the force of law), shall:

38

 

          (a) subject any Lender or the Agent to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or
withholding of any nature with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, such Lender’s
Commitment, a Letter of Credit or the Loans (other than taxes based upon or measured by the gross
receipts, income or profits of such Lender or the Agent or its franchise tax), or

          (b) materially change the basis of taxation (except for changes in taxes on gross receipts,
income or profits or its franchise tax) of payments to any Lender of the principal of or the
interest on any Loans or any other amounts payable to any Lender under this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents, or

          (c) impose or increase or render applicable any special deposit, reserve, assessment,
liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law
and which are not already reflected in any amounts payable by Borrower hereunder) against assets
held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or commitments of an office of any
Lender, or

          (d) impose on any Lender or the Agent any other conditions or requirements with respect to
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Loans, such Lender’s Commitment, a Letter of Credit
or any class of loans or commitments of which any of the Loans or such Lender’s Commitment forms a
part; and the result of any of the foregoing is:

               (i) to increase the cost to any Lender of making, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or
maintaining any of the Loans, the Letters of Credit or such Lender’s Commitment, or

               (ii) to reduce the amount of principal, interest or other amount payable to any Lender or the
Agent hereunder on account of such Lender’s Commitment or any of the Loans or the Letters of
Credit, or

               (iii) to require any Lender or the Agent to make any payment or to forego any interest or
other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or other sum is
calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Lender
or the Agent from the Borrower hereunder,

then, and in each such case, the Borrower will, within fifteen (15) days of demand made by such
Lender or (as the case may be) the Agent at any time and from time to time and as often as the
occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Lender or the Agent such additional amounts as such Lender
or the Agent shall determine in good faith to be sufficient to compensate such Lender or the Agent
for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum. Each Lender and
the Agent in determining such amounts may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods
generally applied by such Lender or the Agent.

     §4.10 Capital Adequacy. If after the date hereof any Lender determines in good faith
that (a) the adoption of or change in any law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital
requirements for banks or bank holding companies or any change in the interpretation or application
thereof by any governmental authority charged with the administration thereof, or (b) compliance by
such Lender or its parent bank holding company with any guideline, request

39

 

or directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of
law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s or such holding company’s capital as a
consequence of such Lender’s commitment to make Loans or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder
to a level below that which such Lender or holding company could have achieved but for such
adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or such holding company’ s
then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such
entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then such Lender may notify
the Borrower thereof. The Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender the amount of such reduction in
the return on capital as and when such reduction is determined by Lender in its good faith
discretion, upon presentation by such Lender of a statement of the amount setting forth the
Lender’s calculation thereof. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable
averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender.

     §4.11 Breakage Costs. Borrower shall pay all Breakage Costs required to be paid by it
pursuant to this Agreement and incurred from time to time by any Lender upon demand within fifteen
(15) days from receipt of written notice from Agent, or such earlier date as may be required by
this Agreement.

     §4.12 Default Interest. Following the occurrence and during the continuance of any
Event of Default, and regardless of whether or not the Agent or the Lenders shall have accelerated
the maturity of the Loans, all Loans shall bear interest payable on demand at a rate per annum
equal to two percent (2.0%) above the Base Rate (the “Default Rate”), until such amount shall be
paid in full (after as well as before judgment), and the fee payable with respect to Letters of
Credit shall be increased to a rate equal to two percent (2.0%) above the Letter of Credit fee that
would otherwise be applicable to such time, or if any of such amounts shall exceed the maximum rate
permitted by law, then at the maximum rate permitted by law.

     §4.13 Certificate. A certificate setting forth any amounts payable pursuant to §4.8,
§4.9, §4.10, §4.11 or §4.12 and a reasonably detailed explanation of such amounts which are due,
submitted by any Lender or the Agent to the Borrower, shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error.

     §4.14 Limitation on Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents to the contrary, all agreements between or among the Borrower, the Guarantors, the
Lenders and the Agent, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are
hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of any
of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by the
Lenders exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance
whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful
amount, the interest payable to the Lenders shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under
applicable law; and if from any circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything of value
deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any
excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations
and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of
principal of the Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All interest paid or
agreed to be paid to the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized,
prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until

40

 

payment in full of the principal of the Obligations (including the period of any renewal or
extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum
amount permitted by applicable law. This Section shall control all agreements between or among the
Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders and the Agent.

     §4.15 Certain Provisions Relating to Increased Costs. If a Lender gives notice of the
existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.7 or any Lender requests compensation for any losses
or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §4.9 or §4.10, then,
upon request of Borrower, such Lender, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts in a manner
consistent with such institution’s practice in connection with loans like the Loan of such Lender
to eliminate, mitigate or reduce amounts that would otherwise be payable by Borrower under the
foregoing provisions, provided that such action would not be otherwise prejudicial to such
Lender, including, without limitation, by designating another of such Lender’s offices, branches or
affiliates; the Borrower agreeing to pay all reasonably incurred costs and expenses incurred by
such Lender in connection with any such action. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and if any Lender
has given notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.7 or has requested payment
or compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the
provisions of §4.9 or §4.10 (each, an “Affected Lender”), then, within thirty (30) days after such
notice or request for payment or compensation, Borrower shall have the one-time right as to such
Affected Lender to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the
Affected Lender within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice to elect to cause the Affected
Lender to transfer its Commitment. The Agent shall promptly notify the remaining Lenders that each
of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the
Commitment, pro rata based upon their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the Affected Lender (or
if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining
Lenders in such proportion as approved by the Agent). In the event that the Lenders do not elect
to acquire all of the Affected Lender’s Commitment, then the Agent shall endeavor to obtain a new
Lender to acquire such remaining Commitment. Upon any such purchase of the Commitment of the
Affected Lender, the Affected Lender’s interest in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and
under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Affected Lender shall
promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest. The
purchase price for the Affected Lender’s Commitment shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and
owed by Borrower to the Affected Lender, including principal and all accrued and unpaid interest or
fees.

§5. COLLATERAL SECURITY.

     §5.1 Collateral. The Obligations shall be secured by (i) a perfected first priority
lien to be held by the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in the Equity Interests pledged
pursuant to the Assignment of Interests. The Obligations shall be guaranteed by the Guarantors
pursuant to the Guaranty.

     §5.2 Appraisals; Adjusted Value.

          (a) In the event that Borrower elects to extend the Maturity Date as provided in §2.11, then
the Agent may on behalf of the Lenders (either in connection with any such

41

 

extension or at any time thereafter), in its reasonable discretion, obtain updates to existing
Appraisals of each of the Subject Properties and any real estate encumbered by an Eligible Note
Receivable. Said updated Appraisals will be ordered by Agent or a third-party consultant on behalf
of Borrower from an Approved Appraiser, and reviewed and approved by the appraisal department of
the Agent, and the Borrower shall pay to such Approved Appraiser, promptly upon delivery to
Borrower by Agent of an invoice from such Approved Appraiser, all reasonable costs of such
Appraisals.

          (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of §5.2(a), the Agent may, for the purpose of determining
the current Appraised Value of the Subject Properties and any real estate encumbered by an Eligible
Note Receivable, obtain new Appraisals or an update to existing Appraisals with respect to the
Subject Properties and any real estate encumbered by an Eligible Note Receivable, or any of them,
as the Agent shall in good faith determine (i) at any time that the regulatory requirements of any
Lender generally applicable to real estate loans of the category made under this Agreement as
reasonably interpreted by such Lender shall require more frequent Appraisals, or (ii) at any time
following a Default or Event of Default, or (iii) if the Agent reasonably believes that there has
been a material adverse change with respect to any Subject Property or any real estate encumbered
by an Eligible Note Receivable including, without limitation, a material change in the market in
which any Subject Property or any real estate encumbered by an Eligible Note Receivable is located,
which may reasonably be expected to affect the value of such Subject Property or any real estate
encumbered by an Eligible Note Receivable. The expense of such Appraisals and/or updates performed
pursuant to this §5.2(b) shall be borne by the Borrower and payable to such Approved Appraiser,
promptly upon delivery to Borrower by Agent of an invoice from such Approved Appraiser;
provided the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay for an Appraisal of a Subject Property
or any real estate encumbered by an Eligible Note Receivable obtained pursuant to this §5.2(b) more
often than once in any period of twelve (12) months.

          (c) The Borrower acknowledges that the Agent has the right to approve, in its reasonable
discretion, any Appraisal performed pursuant to this Agreement. The Borrower further agrees that
the Lenders and Agent do not make any representations or warranties with respect to any such
Appraisal and shall have no liability as a result of or in connection with any such Appraisal for
statements contained in such Appraisal, including without limitation, the accuracy and completeness
of information, estimates, conclusions and opinions contained in such Appraisal, or variance of
such Appraisal from the fair value of such property that is the subject of such Appraisal given by
the local tax assessor’s office, or the Borrower’s idea of the value of such property.

     §5.3 Addition of Equity Interests.

          (a) After the Closing Date, the Borrower shall have the right, subject to the consent of the
Agent and the Required Lenders (which consent may be withheld in their sole and absolute
discretion) and the satisfaction by the Borrower of the conditions set forth in this §5.3, to add
Potential Collateral to the Collateral for the purpose of increasing the Borrowing Base Value. In
the event the Borrower desires to add additional Potential Collateral as aforesaid, the Borrower
shall provide written notice to the Agent of such request (which the Agent shall

42

 

promptly furnish to the Lenders), together with all documentation and other information
reasonably required to permit the Agent to determine whether the assets to which such Potential
Collateral relates are Eligible Real Estate or an Eligible Note Receivable. Agent shall provide
the information described in §5.3(b)(i)-(viii) to the Lenders within three (3) Business Days of
receipt. Thereafter, the Agent shall have ten (10) Business Days from the date of the receipt of
the last of such documentation and other information to advise the Borrower whether the Required
Lenders consent to the acceptance of such Potential Collateral. If a Lender shall fail to respond
within such ten (10) Business Day period, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved such
proposed Potential Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Potential Collateral shall be
included as Collateral unless and until the following conditions precedent shall have been
satisfied:

               (i) Borrower shall have delivered to Agent a written request to add such Potential Collateral
as Collateral, together with a description of such Potential Collateral;

               (ii) The owner of the Eligible Real Estate or Eligible Note Receivable shall be a wholly-owned
Subsidiary of Borrower;

               (iii) the owner of such Eligible Real Estate or Eligible Note Receivable (and any indirect
owner of such Subsidiary) shall have executed a Joinder Agreement and satisfied the conditions of
§5.5;

               (iv) the Borrower or such Subsidiary, as applicable, shall have executed and delivered to the
Agent all Eligible Real Estate Qualification Documents, all of which instruments, documents or
agreements shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent;

               (v) Agent and Borrower shall have entered into an amendment to the Assignment of Interests
such that Agent shall have a first priority perfected lien on 100% of the Equity Interests in such
Subsidiary owning such Eligible Real Estate or Eligible Note Receivable, and Borrower shall have
delivered to Agent certificates evidencing such Equity Interests together with such transfer powers
or assignments as Agent may reasonably require, and Agent shall have recorded such UCC financing
statements or amendments thereto reflecting such pledge as Agent may reasonably require (Agent
agreeing to promptly send for filing such amendments);

               (vi) prior to or contemporaneously with such addition, Borrower shall have submitted to Agent
a Borrowing Base Certificate prepared on a pro forma basis (and adjusted to give effect to such
addition) and shall certify that after giving effect of such addition, no Default or Event of
Default shall exist;

               (vii) after giving effect to the inclusion of such Potential Collateral, each of the
representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the Borrower or the Guarantors or any of
their respective Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or in any
document or instrument delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall be true in
all material respects both as of the date as of which it was made and shall also be true as of the
time of the addition of such Potential Collateral, with the same effect

43

 

as if made at and as of that time (it being understood and agreed that any representation or
warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct
only as of such specified date) and except to the extent of any changes resulting from transactions
permitted by this Agreement that singly or in the aggregate have not had or could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing (including, without limitation, any Default under §7.18), and the Agent shall
have received a certificate of the Borrower to such effect; and

               (viii) Agent shall have received the prior written consent of the Required Lenders to, the
inclusion of such Potential Collateral as Collateral.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in the event such Potential Collateral does
not qualify as such, such Potential Collateral shall be included as Collateral so long as the Agent
shall have received the prior written consent of each of the Requisite Lenders to the inclusion of
such Potential Collateral.

          (b) Borrower may, at its option, obtain preliminary approval of the Required Lenders of
Potential Collateral by delivering to the Agent and each of the Lenders the following with respect
to such Potential Collateral:

               (i) Owner shall deliver to Agent a written request to add such Potential Collateral as
Collateral, together with a description of such Potential Collateral;

               (ii) Borrower’s internal investment committee approval package;

               (iii) any tenant leases, including all amendments thereto, associated with the proposed asset;

               (iv) a pro forma Borrowing Base Certificate showing the impact of the addition of such
Potential Collateral to the Collateral;

               (v) an updated title commitment for the subject property;

               (vi) a physical description of the real estate;

               (vii) a current environmental report, a current engineering report and similar information
reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders;

               (viii) a certification to the knowledge of Borrower that such real estate or note receivable
will satisfy (or is anticipated to satisfy upon the acceptance of the Equity Interests relating to
such real estate or note receivable as Collateral) each of the other conditions to the acceptance
of the Equity Interests relating to real estate or a note receivable as Collateral; and

               (ix) such other documents which may be reasonably requested by Agent.

44

 

The Required Lenders shall have ten (10) Business Days following receipt of all of the foregoing
items to grant or deny preliminary approval for such proposed Potential Collateral. If a Lender
shall fail to respond within such ten (10) Business Day period, such Lender shall be deemed to have
approved such proposed Potential Collateral. Agent shall notify the Borrower if and when the
Required Lenders have granted such preliminary approval. In the event that the Required Lenders
grant such preliminary approval, the Borrower shall satisfy the remaining requirements to the
acceptance of such Collateral as provided in §5.3(a), except to the extent waived by the Required
Lenders in their sole discretion. Such Collateral shall not be included in the calculation of the
Borrowing Base Value until the requirements of §5.3(a) are satisfied, unless to the extent waived
by the Required Lenders in accordance with the preceding sentence.

     §5.4 Release of Collateral. Provided no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred hereunder and be continuing (or would exist immediately after giving effect to the
transactions contemplated by this §5.4), the Agent shall release the Equity Interests in a
Subsidiary Guarantor from the lien or security title of the Security Documents encumbering the same
upon the request of the Borrower subject to and upon the following terms and conditions:

          (a) the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent written notice of its desire to obtain such
release no later than three (3) Business Days prior to the date on which such release is to be
effected;

          (b) the Borrower shall submit to the Agent with such request an updated Borrowing Base
Certificate adjusted to give effect to the proposed release and shall certify to Agent that no
Default or Event of Default shall exist after giving effect to such release;

          (c) the Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with
such release, including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees;

          (d) the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders a release price, which
payment shall be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loans as provided in
§3.4, in an amount equal to the amount necessary to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the
Loans so that no violation of the covenant set forth in §9.1 shall occur;

          (e) without limiting or affecting any other provision hereof, any release of the Equity
Interests in a Subsidiary Guarantor will not cause the Borrower to be in violation of the covenants
set forth in §7.18; and

          (f) such release would not result in the calculation of the Borrowing Base Value to be
determined from less than five (5) Subject Properties and Eligible Notes Receivable which have a
combined Borrowing Base Value of less than $50,000,000.00 unless otherwise approved in writing by
the Required Lenders.

     Upon satisfaction of the terms and conditions of this §5.4, the Agent shall promptly execute
and deliver to Borrower a Release Letter with respect to the applicable Equity Interests and
Subsidiary Guarantors, and shall promptly file an amendment to Agent’s UCC financing statement
evidencing the partial termination and release of Agent’s security interest and lien in the
applicable Equity Interests, all without the need for any consent from, or notice to, any Lender.

45

 

     §5.5 Additional Guarantors. As a condition to the addition of any Collateral pursuant
to §5.3, Borrower shall cause each such Subsidiary (and any entity other than Borrower or another
existing Guarantor having an interest in such Subsidiary of Borrower) to execute and deliver to
Agent a Joinder Agreement, and such Subsidiary (and any such entity) shall become a Guarantor
hereunder. Each such Subsidiary shall be specifically authorized, in accordance with its
respective organizational documents, to guarantee the Obligations and to execute the Joinder
Agreement and an Acknowledgment. Borrower shall further cause all representations, covenants and
agreements in the Loan Documents with respect to Guarantors to be true and correct with respect to
each such Subsidiary. In connection with the delivery of such Joinder Agreement, Borrower shall
deliver to the Agent the items that would have been delivered under §10.2 through §10.4 if such
Subsidiary had been a Guarantor as of the date hereof.

     §5.6 Release of Collateral. Upon the refinancing or repayment of the Obligations in
full, then the Agent shall be entitled to release the Collateral from the lien and security
interest of the Security Documents and to release the Guarantors.

§6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

     The Borrower represents and warrants to the Agent and the Lenders as follows.

     §6.1 Corporate Authority, Etc.

          (a) Incorporation; Good Standing. Parent is a Maryland corporation duly organized

a real estate investment trust thereunder. The Borrower is a Delaware limited partnership duly
organized pursuant to its certificate of limited partnership filed with the Delaware Secretary of
State, and is validly existing and in good standing under the laws of Delaware. The Borrower (i)
has all requisite power to own its property and conduct its business as now conducted and as
presently contemplated, and (ii) is in good standing and is duly authorized to do business in the
jurisdiction of its organization and in each other jurisdiction where a failure to be so qualified
in such other jurisdiction has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.

          (b) Subsidiaries. Each of the Guarantors and each of the Subsidiaries of the Borrower
and Guarantors (i) is a corporation, limited partnership, general partnership, limited liability

be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect (and with respect to Subsidiaries of Borrower that
are not Guarantors, except where a failure to comply with §6.1(b)(i), (ii) and (iii)

46

 

individually or in the aggregate has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect).

          (c) Authorization. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents to which any of the Borrower or any Guarantor is a party and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby (i) are within the authority of such Person, (ii) have been duly

(whether with the passage of time or the giving of notice, or both) under any provision of the
partnership agreement, articles of incorporation or other charter documents or bylaws of, or any
agreement or other instrument binding upon, such Person or any of its properties, (v) do not and
will not result in or require the imposition of any lien or other encumbrance on any of the

or consent of any Person other than those already obtained and delivered to Agent.

          (d) Enforceability. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan

and general principles of equity.

     §6.2 Governmental Approvals. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Borrower or any Guarantor is a party and the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not require the approval or consent of, or filing

the appropriate records office with respect thereto.

     §6.3 Title to Properties. Except as indicated on Schedule 6.3 hereto, the
Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries own or lease all of the assets reflected
in the consolidated balance sheet of Parent as at the Balance Sheet Date or acquired or leased

business since that date) or other adjustments that are not material in amount, subject to no
rights of others, including any mortgages, leases pursuant to which Borrower or any of its
Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates is the lessee, conditional sales agreements, title
retention agreements, liens or other encumbrances except Permitted Liens and as to Subsidiaries of
Borrower that are not Guarantors, except for such defects as individually or in the aggregate have
not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     §6.4 Financial Statements. The Borrower has furnished to Agent: (a) the consolidated
balance sheet of Parent and its Subsidiaries as of the Balance Sheet Date and the related
consolidated statement of income and cash flow for the calendar year then ended, (b) as of the

respective Subsidiaries possess all franchises, patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade names,

rule or regulation, in any of the foregoing cases in a manner that has had or could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

     §6.10 Tax Status. Each of the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective
Subsidiaries (a) has made or filed all federal and state income and all other tax returns, reports
and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject or has obtained an extension

of such Person know of no basis for any such claim. There are no audits pending or to the
knowledge of Borrower threatened with respect to any tax returns filed by Borrower, the Guarantors

49

of the Borrower, any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any partner, officer,
trustee, director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director,
trustee or partner, which are on terms less favorable to the Borrower, a Guarantor or any of their
respective Subsidiaries than those that would be obtained in a comparable arms-length transaction.

standard under §412 of the Code in respect of any Employee Benefit Plan, Multiemployer Plan or
Guaranteed Pension Plan, (b) failed to make any contribution or payment to any Employee Benefit

may not rely on the accuracy thereof) or (b) budgets, projections and other forward-looking
speculative information prepared in good faith by the Borrower (except to the extent the related
assumptions were when made manifestly unreasonable).

220, 221 and 224.

     §6.20 Environmental Compliance. The Borrower has obtained and provided to Agent, or
in the case of Subject Properties acquired after the date hereof will obtain and provide to Agent,

“Environmental Reports”). Except as set forth in the Environmental Reports with respect to Subject
Properties, the Borrower makes the following representations and warranties:

          (a) Neither the Borrower, any Guarantor, their respective Subsidiaries nor to the best
knowledge and belief of Borrower any operator of the Real Estate, nor any operations thereon, is in

removal or other response action pursuant to any Environmental Law; or (iii) that it is or shall be
a named party to any claim, action, cause of action, complaint, or legal or administrative
proceeding (in each case, contingent or otherwise) arising out of any third party’s incurrence of
costs, expenses, losses or damages of any kind whatsoever in connection with the release of
Hazardous Substances; which in any case (A) involves Real Estate other than the Subject Properties
and has had or could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (B) involves a
Subject Property.

          (c) (i) No portion of the Real Estate has been used for the handling, processing, storage or
disposal of Hazardous Substances except in accordance with applicable

51

 

Environmental Laws, and no underground tank or other underground storage receptacle for

operated and maintained in compliance with Environmental Laws; (ii) in the course of any activities
conducted by the Borrower, any Guarantor, their respective Subsidiaries or, to the best knowledge
and belief of the Borrower, the operators of their properties, no Hazardous Substances have been

accordance with applicable Environmental Laws; (iii) there has been no past or present releasing,
spilling, leaking, pumping, pouring, emitting, emptying, discharging, injecting, escaping,

necessary for the operation of such property in the ordinary course of business, and in any event
in compliance with all Environmental Laws) (a “Release”) or threatened Release of Hazardous
Substances on, upon, into or from the Subject Properties, which Release would reasonably be

properties, or from any other Real Estate; (iv) except as set forth on Schedule 6.20
hereto, there have been no Releases on, upon, from or into any real property in the vicinity of any

the Real Estate; and (v) any Hazardous Substances that have been generated on any of the Real
Estate have been transported off-site in accordance with all applicable Environmental Laws (except
with respect to the foregoing in this §6.20(c) as to any Real Estate (other than the Subject
Properties) where the foregoing has not had or could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect).

          (d) There are no existing or closed sanitary landfills, solid waste disposal sites, or
hazardous waste treatment, storage or disposal facilities on or affecting the Real Estate except
where such existence as to any Real Estate other than a Subject Property has not had or could not
be reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

          (e) There has been no claim by any party that any use, operation, or condition of the Real
Estate has caused any nuisance or any other liability or adverse condition on any other property
which as to any Real Estate other than a Subject Property has had or could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect, nor is there any knowledge of any basis for such a claim.

          (f) The representations in §6.20 shall, as to real estate which is encumbered by an Eligible
Note Receivable included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base Value, shall be made by Borrower
to the same extent as to a Subject Property except that such representations shall be limited to
Borrower’s knowledge and belief.

     §6.21 Subsidiaries; Organizational Structure. Schedule 6.21 sets forth, as of
the date hereof, all of the Subsidiaries of the Parent and its Subsidiaries, the form and
jurisdiction of organization of each of the Subsidiaries, and the Parent’s direct and indirect
ownership interests therein. Schedule 6.21 sets forth, as of the date hereof, all of the
Unconsolidated Affiliates of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, the form and jurisdiction of
organization of each of the Unconsolidated Affiliates, and the Borrower’s or its Subsidiary’s
ownership interest therein. Parent has no direct Investment in any Unconsolidated Affiliate.
Parent is the sole general

52

 

partner of Borrower and as of the date hereof owns not less than one hundred percent (100%) of
the economic, voting and beneficial interest in Borrower.

     §6.22 Leases. The Borrower has delivered to the Agent true copies of the leases and
any amendments thereto relating to each Subject Property and each property which is encumbered by
an Eligible Note Receivable included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base Value required on the
date of submission to be delivered as a part of the Eligible Real Estate Qualification Documents.
An accurate and complete Rent Roll as of the date of inclusion of Equity Interests relating to each
Subject Property in the Collateral with respect to all leases of any portion of the Subject
Property has been provided to the Agent. The leases reflected on such Rent Roll constitute as of
the date thereof the sole agreements relating to leasing or licensing of space at such property and
in the Building relating thereto. Except as specifically described in the Tenant Estoppel
Certificate relating to the lease applicable to each Subject Property and each property which is
encumbered by an Eligible Note Receivable included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base Value
required on the date of submission to be delivered as a part of the Eligible Real Estate
Qualification Documents (and which estoppel is approved by Agent): (i) no tenant under any such
lease is entitled to any free rent, partial rent, rebate of rent payments, credit, offset or
deduction in rent, including, without limitation, lease support payments or lease buy-outs, and
(ii) each of such Leases is in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms,
without any payment default or any other material default thereunder, nor are there any defenses,
counterclaims, offsets, concessions or rebates available to any tenant thereunder. Neither the
Borrower nor any Guarantor has given or made, any notice of any payment or other material default,
or any claim, which remains uncured or unsatisfied, with respect to any of the leases, and to the
best of the knowledge and belief of the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, there is no basis
for any such claim or notice of default by any tenant. No property other than the Subject Property
or the real estate encumbered by an Eligible Note Receivable included in the calculation of the
Borrowing Base Value, which is the subject of the applicable lease is necessary to comply with the
requirements (including, without limitation, parking requirements) contained in such lease, other
than appurtenant rights and interests insured by the owner’s title insurance policy delivered as a
part of the Eligible Real Estate Qualification Documents.

     §6.23 Property. All of the Subject Properties are in good condition and working order
commensurate with their use and age and free from material defects, subject to ordinary wear and
tear. All of the other Real Estate of the Borrower, Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries
is in good condition and working order commensurate with their age and use, subject to ordinary
wear and tear, except where such defects have not had and could not reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect. The Subject Properties, and the use and operation thereof, are in
material compliance with all applicable federal and state law and governmental regulations and any
local ordinances, orders or regulations, including without limitation, laws, regulations and
ordinances relating to zoning, building codes, subdivision, fire protection, health, safety,
handicapped access, historic preservation and protection, wetlands, tidelands, and Environmental
Laws. The Subject Properties have adequate access and utility service for the uses for which they
are intended. There are no unpaid or outstanding real estate or other taxes or assessments on or
against any of the Subject Properties which are payable by the Borrower or any Guarantor (except
only real estate or other taxes or assessments, that are not yet delinquent or are being protested
as permitted by this Agreement). There are no unpaid or

53

 

outstanding real estate or other taxes or assessments on or against any other property of the
Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries which are payable by any of such
Persons in any material amount (except only real estate or other taxes or assessments, that are not
yet delinquent or are being protested as permitted by this Agreement) except where such failure to
pay has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither
the Borrower nor any Guarantor is a party to or has received any notice of any pending eminent
domain proceedings against any of the Subject Properties, and to the knowledge of Borrower and
Guarantors, there are no threatened or contemplated eminent domain proceedings against any of the
Subject Properties. Neither the Borrower, any Guarantor nor any Subsidiary of either of them is a
party to or has received any notice of any pending eminent domain proceedings against any other
property of the Borrower, the Guarantors or their respective Subsidiaries or any part thereof, and,
to the knowledge of the Borrower, no such proceedings are presently threatened or contemplated by
any taking authority which may individually or in the aggregate have any Material Adverse Effect.
None of the Subject Properties is now materially damaged as a result of any fire, explosion,
accident, flood or other casualty. None of the other property of the Borrower, the Guarantors or
their respective Subsidiaries is now damaged as a result of any fire, explosion, accident, flood or
other casualty in any manner which individually or in the aggregate has had or could reasonably be
expected to have any Material Adverse Effect. Each of the Subject Properties for which a
Subsidiary Guarantor maintains insurance complies with the material requirements relating to
insurance set forth in the Lease applicable to such Subject Property, and to the knowledge of the
Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors, in the case where a tenant under a Lease is required to
maintain insurance with regard to a Subject Property, such tenant maintains insurance that complies
with the material requirements relating to insurance set forth in the Lease applicable to such
Subject Property. Except as listed on Schedule 6.23, there are no Management Agreements
for any of the Subject Properties. To the best knowledge of the Borrower and the Subsidiary
Guarantors, there are no material claims or any bases for material claims in respect of any Subject
Property or its operation by any party to any Management Agreement. No person or entity has any
right or option to acquire any Subject Property or any Building thereon or any portion thereof or
interest therein.

     §6.24 Brokers. Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor has engaged or otherwise dealt
with any broker, finder or similar entity in connection with this Agreement or the Loans
contemplated hereunder.

     §6.25 Other Debt. As of the date of this Agreement, neither the Borrower, any
Guarantor nor any of their respective Subsidiaries is in default of the payment of any Indebtedness
or the performance of any related agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, financing
agreement, indenture or lease to which any of them is a party. Neither the Borrower nor any
Guarantor is a party to or bound by any agreement, instrument or indenture that may require the
subordination in right or time or payment of any of the Obligations to any other indebtedness or
obligation of the Borrower or any Guarantor. Schedule 6.25 hereto sets forth all
mortgages, deeds of trust, financing agreements or other material agreements binding upon the
Borrower and each Guarantor or their respective properties and entered into by the Borrower and/or
such Guarantor as of the date of this Agreement with respect to any Indebtedness of the Borrower or
any Guarantor in an amount greater than $1,000,000.00, and the Borrower has provided the Agent with
true, correct and complete copies thereof.

54

 

     §6.26 Solvency. As of the Closing Date and after giving effect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all Loans made or to be made
hereunder, neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor is insolvent on a balance sheet basis such that
the sum of such Person’s assets exceeds the sum of such Person’s liabilities, the Borrower and each
Guarantor is able to pay its debts as they become due, and the Borrower and each Guarantor has
sufficient capital to carry on its business.

     §6.27 No Bankruptcy Filing. Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor is contemplating
either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or
the liquidation of its assets or property, and the Borrower has no knowledge of any Person
contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or any Guarantor.

     §6.28 No Fraudulent Intent. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents nor the performance of any actions required hereunder or thereunder
is being undertaken by the Borrower or any Guarantor with or as a result of any actual intent by
any of such Persons to hinder, delay or defraud any entity to which any of such Persons is now or
will hereafter become indebted.

     §6.29 Transaction in Best Interests of Borrower; Consideration. The transaction
evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents is in the best interests of the Borrower
and each Guarantor. The direct and indirect benefits to inure to the Borrower and the Guarantors
pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute substantially more than
“reasonably equivalent value” (as such term is used in §548 of the Bankruptcy Code) and “valuable
consideration,” “fair value,” and “fair consideration” (as such terms are used in any applicable
state fraudulent conveyance law), in exchange for the benefits to be provided by the Borrower and
the Guarantors pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and but for the willingness
of each Guarantor to guaranty the Loan, the Borrower would be unable to obtain the financing
contemplated hereunder which financing will enable the Borrower, each Guarantor and their
respective Subsidiaries to have available financing to conduct and expand their business.

     §6.30 Contribution Agreement. The Borrower and the Guarantors have executed and
delivered the Contribution Agreement, and the Contribution Agreement constitutes the valid and
legally binding obligations of such parties enforceable against them in accordance with the terms
and provisions thereof, except as enforceability is limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of
creditors’ rights and except to the extent that availability of the remedy of specific performance
or injunctive relief is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor
may be brought.

     §6.31 OFAC. None of the Borrower or the Guarantors is (or will be) a person with whom
any Lender is restricted from doing business under OFAC (including, those Persons named on OFAC’s
Specially Designated and Blocked Persons list) or under any statute, executive order (including the
September 24, 2001 Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who
Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action and is not and
shall not engage in any dealings or transactions or otherwise be associated with such persons. In
addition, Borrower hereby agrees

55

 

to provide to the Lenders any additional information that a Lender reasonably deems necessary
from time to time in order to ensure compliance with all applicable laws concerning money
laundering and similar activities.

     §6.32 Status of the Eligible Notes Receivable. All duties, obligations and
responsibilities required to be performed by the Subsidiary Guarantors with the Eligible Notes
Receivable or related loan documents have been performed, and no payment default or failure to
comply with other material obligations under any of such documents after the expiration of
applicable grace or cure periods exists. To the best of Borrower’s knowledge, the Eligible Notes
Receivable and related loan documents are valid and enforceable against the parties thereto in
accordance with their terms, subject to insolvency, bankruptcy, moratorium and other laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally, and are in compliance with all applicable laws. The Eligible Notes
Receivable and related loan documents create a valid, enforceable and perfected first-priority lien
and security interest in the property described therein, and Borrower and Guarantors shall take
such actions as are necessary (including, without limitation, the filing of continuation
statements) to cause such documents to remain a valid, enforceable and perfected first-priority
lien and security interest therein. The Eligible Notes Receivable evidence bona fide indebtedness
or obligations owing to a Subsidiary Guarantor, and to the best of Borrower’s knowledge, no obligor
with respect to any Eligible Note Receivable has any rights to set off, counterclaim or defenses
with respect to the payment or performance of any obligations thereunder.

§7. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

     The Borrower covenants and agrees that, so long as any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit is
outstanding or any Lender has any obligation to make any Loans or issue Letters of Credit
hereunder:

     §7.1 Punctual Payment. The Borrower will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid
the principal and interest on the Loans and all interest and fees provided for in this Agreement,
all in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes, as well as all other sums owing

     §7.2 Maintenance of Office. The Borrower and each Guarantor will maintain its
respective chief executive office at 1521 Westbranch Drive, Suite 200, McLean, Virginia 22102, or
at such other place in the United States of America as the Borrower or any Guarantor shall
designate upon fifteen (15) days prior written notice to the Agent and the Lenders, where notices,

Documents may be given or made.

     §7.3 Records and Accounts. The Borrower and each Guarantor will (a) keep, and cause
each of their respective Subsidiaries to keep true and accurate records and books of account in

Neither the Borrower, any Guarantor nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall, without the
prior written consent of the Required Lenders, (x) make

any material change to the accounting policies/principles used by such Person in preparing the
financial statements and other information described in §6.4 or §7.4, or (y) change its fiscal

such year and the related consolidated statements of income, shareholders’ equity and cash flows
for such year, setting forth in each case in comparative form the figures for the previous fiscal
year, all certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or other independent public accountants of
nationally recognized standing, with such certification to be free of exceptions and qualifications

of indebtedness, indenture or other obligation to which or with respect to which the Borrower, any
Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries is a party or obligor, whether as principal or
surety, and such default would permit the holder of such note or obligation or other evidence of
indebtedness to accelerate the maturity thereof, which acceleration would either cause a Default or

     §7.6 Existence; Maintenance of Properties.

          (a) The Borrower will preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence as a Delaware
limited partnership. Each Guarantor will preserve and keep in full force and effect its legal
existence in the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation. The Borrower will cause each of
its Subsidiaries which is not a Guarantor to preserve and keep in full force and effect their legal
existence in the jurisdiction of its incorporation or formation except where such failure has not
had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. The Borrower will
preserve and keep in full force all of its rights and franchises and those of its Subsidiaries, the
preservation of which is necessary to the conduct of their business (except with respect to
Subsidiaries of Borrower that are not Guarantors, where such failure has not had and could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect). Parent shall at all times comply with
all requirements and applicable laws and regulations necessary to maintain REIT Status and shall
continue to receive REIT Status. The common stock of Parent shall at all times be listed for
trading and be traded on NASDAQ, the New York Stock Exchange or another nationally recognized
exchange unless otherwise consented to by the Required Lenders. The Borrower shall continue to own
directly or indirectly one hundred percent (100%) of the Subsidiary Guarantors.

          (b) The Borrower (i) will cause all of its properties and those of its Subsidiaries used or
useful in the conduct of its business or the business of its Subsidiaries to be maintained and kept
in good condition, repair and working order (ordinary wear and tear and damage by casualty
excepted) and supplied with all necessary equipment, and (ii) will cause to be made all necessary
repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof in all cases in which the
failure so to do would have a material adverse effect on the condition of any Subject Property or
would cause a Material Adverse Effect.

     §7.7 Insurance. The Borrower, Parent and their respective Subsidiaries (as
applicable) will procure and maintain or cause to be procured and maintained insurance covering the
Borrower, Parent and their respective Subsidiaries (as applicable) and the Real Estate in such
amounts and against such risks and casualties as are customary for properties of similar character
and location, due regard being given to the type of improvements thereon, their construction,
location, use and occupancy; it being understood and agreed that the foregoing shall not modify any
obligation of a tenant under a Lease with regard to the placement and maintenance of insurance.

     §7.8 Taxes; Liens. The Borrower and the Guarantors will, and will cause their
respective Subsidiaries to, duly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, before the
same shall become delinquent, all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges imposed upon
them or upon the Subject Properties or the other Real Estate, sales and activities, or any part
thereof, or upon the income or profits therefrom as well as all claims for labor, materials or
supplies that if unpaid might by law become a lien or charge upon any of its property or other
Liens affecting any of the Collateral or other property of Borrower, the Guarantors or their

60

 

respective Subsidiaries, provided that any such tax, assessment, charge or levy or
claim need not be paid if the validity or amount thereof shall currently be contested in good faith
by appropriate proceedings by Borrower, the Guarantors, their respective Subsidiaries or a tenant
which shall suspend the collection thereof with respect to such property, and neither such property
nor any portion thereof or interest therein would be in any danger of sale, forfeiture or loss by
reason of such proceeding; and provided, further, that forthwith upon the
commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien that may have attached as security therefor, the
Borrower, any such Guarantor, any such Subsidiary or a tenant either (i) will provide a bond issued
by a surety reasonably acceptable to the Agent or other collateral satisfactory to Agent and
sufficient to stay all such proceedings or (ii) if no such bond or other collateral is provided,
will pay each such tax, assessment, charge or levy.

     §7.9 Inspection of Properties and Books. The Borrower and the Guarantors will, and
will cause their respective Subsidiaries to, permit the Agent and the Lenders, at the Borrower’s
expense and upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect any of the properties of the
Borrower, each Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries (subject to the rights of
tenants), to examine the books of account of the Borrower, each Guarantor and their respective
Subsidiaries (and to make copies thereof and extracts therefrom) and to discuss the affairs,
finances and accounts of the Borrower, any Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries with, and to
be advised as to the same by, their respective officers, all at such reasonable times and intervals
as the Agent or any Lender may reasonably request, provided that so long as no Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall not be required to pay
for such visits and inspections more often than once in any twelve (12) month period. In the event
that the Agent or a Lender shall visit and inspect a property of a Subsidiary of Borrower which is
not a Guarantor, such visit and inspection shall be made with a representative of Borrower (and
Borrower agrees to use reasonable efforts to make such representative available). The Lenders
shall use good faith efforts to coordinate such visits and inspections so as to minimize the
interference with and disruption to the normal business operations of the Borrower, the Guarantors,
their respective Subsidiaries and any tenants.

     §7.10 Compliance with Laws, Contracts, Licenses, and Permits. The Borrower and the
Guarantors will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, comply in all respects
with (i) all applicable laws and regulations now or hereafter in effect wherever its business is
conducted, including all Environmental Laws, (ii) the provisions of its corporate charter,
partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement or declaration of trust, as the case may
be, and other charter documents and bylaws, (iii) all agreements and instruments to which it is a
party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound, (iv) all applicable decrees, orders,
and judgments, and (v) all licenses and permits required by applicable laws and regulations for the
conduct of its business or the ownership, use or operation of its properties, except where a
failure to so comply with any of clauses (i) through (v) could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. Borrower shall develop and implement such programs, policies and
procedures as are necessary to comply with the Patriot Act and shall promptly advise Agent in
writing in the event that Borrower shall determine that any investors in Borrower are in violation
of such act.

     §7.11 Further Assurances. The Borrower and each Guarantor will cooperate with the
Agent and the Lenders and execute such further instruments and documents as the Lenders or the

61

 

Agent shall reasonably request to carry out to their satisfaction the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

     §7.12 Management. The Borrower shall not and shall not permit any Guarantor to enter
into any Management Agreement with a third party manager after the date hereof for any Subject
Property without the prior written consent of the Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).
Agent may condition any approval of a new manager upon the execution and delivery to Agent of an
Agreement of Management Company unless such management is terminable without cause and without
payment of any amount on 30 days’ notice.

     §7.13 Leases of the Property. The Borrower and each Guarantor will give notice to the
Agent of any proposed new Lease at any Subject Property for the lease of space therein and shall
provide to the Agent a copy of the proposed Lease and any and all agreements or documents related
thereto, current financial information for the proposed tenant and any guarantor of the proposed
Lease and such other information as the Agent may reasonably request. Neither the Borrower nor any
Guarantor will lease all or any portion of a Subject Property or amend, supplement or otherwise
modify, terminate or cancel, or accept the surrender of, or consent to the assignment or subletting
of, or grant any concessions to or waive the performance of any obligations of any tenant, lessee
or licensee under, any now existing or future Lease at any Subject Property without the prior
written consent of the Agent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. There has
been no anticipation or prepayment of any of the rents, income, issues, profits or revenues from
the Subject Properties for more than one (1) month prior to the due dates of such revenues, and
Borrower will not permit any Subsidiary Guarantor to collect or accept payment of any such revenues
more than one (1) month prior to the due dates of such revenues.

     §7.14 Business Operations. The Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective
Subsidiaries shall operate their respective businesses in substantially the same manner and in
substantially the same fields and lines of business as such business is now conducted and such
other lines of business which are reasonably related or incidental thereto, and in compliance with
the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents. Borrower will not, and will not
permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, engage in any line of business other than the
ownership, operation, development and sale of office, industrial, single-tenant retail, light
manufacturing or flex properties (or Mortgage Receivables secured by such properties) and
businesses reasonably related or incidental thereof.

     §7.15 Distributions of Income to the Borrower. The Borrower shall cause all of its
Subsidiaries (subject to the terms of any loan documents under which such Subsidiary is the
borrower) to promptly distribute to the Borrower (but not less frequently than once each calendar
quarter, unless otherwise approved by the Agent), whether in the form of dividends, distributions
or otherwise, all profits, proceeds or other income relating to or arising from its Subsidiaries’
use, operation, financing, refinancing, sale or other disposition of their respective assets and
properties after (a) the payment by each Subsidiary of its debt service, operating expenses,
capital improvements and leasing commissions for such quarter and (b) the establishment of
reasonable reserves for the payment of operating expenses not paid on at least a quarterly basis
and capital improvements and tenant improvements to be made to such Subsidiary’s assets and

62

 

properties approved by such Subsidiary in the course of its business consistent with its past
practices.

     §7.16 Plan Assets. The Borrower will do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to
ensure that none of the Borrowing Base Assets will be deemed to be Plan Assets at any time.

     §7.17 [Intentionally Omitted.]

     §7.18 Borrowing Base Properties.

          (a) The Eligible Real Estate and Eligible Notes Receivable included in the calculation of the
Borrowing Base Value shall at all times satisfy all of the following conditions:

other than the Liens permitted in §8.2(i) and (iv), and such Eligible Real Estate and Eligible
Notes Receivable shall not have applicable to it any restriction on the sale, pledge, transfer,
mortgage or assignment of such property (including any restrictions contained in any applicable
organizational documents);

               (ii) none of the Eligible Real Estate or the real estate subject to such Eligible Notes
Receivable shall have any material title, survey, environmental, structural or other defects that
would give rise to a materially adverse effect as to the value, use of or ability to sell or
refinance such property;

               (iii) The only asset of such Subsidiary shall be Eligible Real Estate or an Eligible Note
Receivable included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base Value;

               (iv) such Eligible Real Estate is self-managed by the Subsidiary Guarantor or is managed by an
independent third party pursuant to a Management Agreement;

               (v) with respect to Eligible Note Receivables, the outstanding principal balance of such
Eligible Note Receivable shall not exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of the Appraised Value as most
recently determined under this Agreement of the real property subject to such Eligible Note
Receivable;

               (vi) with respect to each Eligible Note Receivable, the underlying real estate would meet all
of the requirements that apply to Eligible Real Estate being included within the calculation of the
Borrowing Base Value if such property were owned by, rather than mortgaged to, the applicable
Subsidiary Guarantor;

               (vii) the term of each lease (without regard to extension options) at such Eligible Real
Estate or real estate subject to an Eligible Note Receivable must exceed the then effective
Maturity Date by not less than three (3) years; provided that with respect to (A) the lease with
Elster Electric relating to the property commonly known as 208 South Rogers Lane, Raleigh, North
Carolina, which lease expires on October 31, 2010, and the lease to Yankee Candle relating to the
property commonly known as 75 Canal Street, South Hadley,

63

 

Massachusetts, which expires on June 30, 2010, such leases shall not be required to comply
with the provisions of this clause (vii) until June 30, 2007, and (B) with respect to the lease to
Work Flow Management relating to the property commonly known as Hazelwood, such lease shall not be
required to comply with the terms of this clause (vii);

               (viii) each Eligible Real Estate or property subject to an Eligible Note Receivable shall be
leased to a single tenant which is an Eligible Tenant, and each such tenant under a lease at such
Eligible Real Estate or real estate subject to an Eligible Note Receivable must be in compliance
with its payment obligations and material compliance with all other obligations under its lease,
and not subject to any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt,
dissolution or liquidation proceeding;

               (ix) no Eligible Real Estate or real estate subject to Eligible Notes Receivable which are
subject to a lease or leases to any single tenant or any Affiliate thereof shall account for more
than twenty percent (20%) of the Borrowing Base Value (for the purposes hereof, tenants shall not
be considered Affiliates of each other solely by virtue of having common ownership by an equity
fund provided that their financial results are not consolidated with a common parent entity);

               (x) such Eligible Real Estate or real estate which is subject to an Eligible Note Receivable
shall not be vacant (for example, such tenant is no longer conducting business from such property);
provided that at any one time not more than two (2) separate parcels of Eligible Real Estate or
real estate which is subject to an Eligible Note Receivable included in the calculation of the
Borrowing Base Value may be attributable to such real estate which is vacant provided that (1) the
tenants therein are paying rent and not otherwise in default of their obligations under their
lease, (2) during the period of such vacancy, such real estate shall be professionally managed by a
firm pursuant to a Management Agreement approved in writing in advance by Agent, and (3) any such

vacant); and

               (xi) no more than fifteen percent (15%) of the Borrowing Base Value shall be attributable to
Eligible Notes Receivable.

          (b) In the event that all or any material portion of any Eligible Real Estate or any real
property subject to an Eligible Note Receivable included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base
Value shall be damaged in any material respect or taken by condemnation, then such property shall
no longer be included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base Value unless and until (i) any
damage to such real estate is repaired or restored, such real estate becomes fully operational and
the Agent shall receive evidence satisfactory to the Agent of the value of such real estate
following such repair or restoration (both at such time and prospectively) or (ii) Agent shall
receive evidence satisfactory to the Agent that the value of such real estate (both at such time
and prospectively) shall not be materially adversely affected by such damage or condemnation. In
the event that such damage or condemnation only partially affects such Eligible Real Estate or real
property subject to an Eligible Note Receivable included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base
Value, then the Required Lenders may in good faith reduce the Borrowing Base Value attributable
thereto based on such damage until such time as the

64

 

Required Lenders receive evidence satisfactory to the Required Lenders that the value of such
real estate (both at such time and prospectively) shall no longer be materially adversely affected
by such damage or condemnation.

          (c) Upon any asset ceasing to qualify to be included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base
Value, such asset shall no longer be included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base Value unless
otherwise approved in writing by the Required Lenders. Within five (5) Business Days after
becoming aware of any such disqualification, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent a certificate
reflecting such disqualification, together with the identity of the disqualified asset, a statement
as to whether any Default or Event of Default arises as a result of such disqualification, and a

sixty (60) days after the date of this Agreement, Borrower shall deliver to Agent Appraisals

which may have a similar effect as any of the foregoing, in each case without the prior written
consent of the Required Lenders except for (i) the merger or consolidation of one or more of the
Subsidiaries of Borrower (other than any Subsidiary that is a Guarantor) with and into the Borrower
(it being understood and agreed that in any such event the Borrower will be the surviving Person)
and (ii) the merger or consolidation of two or more Subsidiaries of the Borrower; provided
that no such merger or consolidation shall involve any Subsidiary that is a Guarantor. Nothing in
this §8.4 shall prohibit the issuance by Borrower of partnership interests in itself in connection
with the acquisition of Real Estate in the ordinary course of business, or the dissolution of a

69

 

Subsidiary which has disposed of its assets in accordance with this Agreement. A Subsidiary
of Borrower may sell all of its assets (and may effectuate such sale by merger or consolidation
with another Person, with such other Person being the surviving entity) subject to compliance with
the terms of this Agreement (including without limitation §5.4 and §8.8), and after any such
permitted sale, may dissolve.

     §8.5 Sale and Leaseback. The Borrower will not, and will not permit its Subsidiaries,
to enter into any arrangement, directly or indirectly, whereby the Borrower or any such Subsidiary
shall sell or transfer any Real Estate owned by it in order that then or thereafter the Borrower or
any such Subsidiary shall lease back such Real Estate without the prior written consent of Agent,
such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.

     §8.6 Compliance with Environmental Laws. Neither the Borrower nor Parent will, nor
will either of them permit any of its respective Subsidiaries or any other Person to, do any of the
following: (a) use any of the Real Estate or any portion thereof as a facility for the handling,
processing, storage or disposal of Hazardous Substances, except for small quantities of Hazardous
Substances used in the ordinary course of business and in material compliance with all applicable
Environmental Laws, (b) cause or permit to be located on any of the Real Estate any underground
tank or other underground storage receptacle for Hazardous Substances except in compliance with
Environmental Laws, (c) generate any Hazardous Substances on any of the Real Estate except in
compliance with Environmental Laws, (d) conduct any activity at any Real Estate or use any Real
Estate in any manner that could reasonably be contemplated to cause a Release of Hazardous
Substances on, upon or into the Real Estate or any surrounding properties or any threatened Release
of Hazardous Substances which could reasonably be expected to give rise to liability under CERCLA
or any other Environmental Law, or (e) directly or indirectly transport or arrange for the
transport of any Hazardous Substances (except in compliance with all Environmental Laws), except,
with respect to any Real Estate other than a Subject Property, where any such use, generation,
conduct or other activity has not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

     The Borrower shall, and shall cause the Subsidiary Guarantors to:

               (i) in the event of any change in Environmental Laws governing the assessment, release or
removal of Hazardous Substances, take all reasonable action (including, without limitation, the
conducting of engineering tests at the sole expense of the Borrower) to confirm that no Hazardous
Substances are or ever were Released or disposed of on the Subject Properties in violation of
applicable Environmental Laws; and

               (ii) if any Release or disposal of Hazardous Substances which any Person may be legally
obligated to contain, correct or otherwise remediate or which may otherwise expose it to liability
shall occur or shall have occurred on the Subject Properties (including without limitation any such
Release or disposal occurring prior to the acquisition or leasing of such Subject Property by the
Borrower or any Subsidiary Guarantor), the Borrower shall, after obtaining knowledge thereof, cause
the prompt containment and removal of such Hazardous Substances and remediation of the Subject
Property in full compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; provided, that each of
the Borrower and a Subsidiary Guarantor shall be deemed to be in compliance with Environmental Laws
for the purpose of this clause (ii)

70

 

so long as it or a responsible third party with sufficient financial resources is taking
reasonable action to remediate or manage any event of noncompliance to the reasonable satisfaction
of the Agent and no action shall have been commenced by any enforcement agency. The Agent may
engage its own Environmental Engineer to review the environmental assessments and the compliance
with the covenants contained herein.

     At any time after an Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder the Agent may at its
election (and will at the request of the Required Lenders) obtain such environmental assessments of
any or all of the Subject Properties prepared by an Environmental Engineer as may be necessary or
advisable for the purpose of evaluating or confirming (i) whether any Hazardous Substances are
present in the soil or water at or adjacent to any such Subject Property and (ii) whether the use
and operation of any such Subject Property complies with all Environmental Laws to the extent
required by the Loan Documents. Additionally, at any time that the Agent or the Required Lenders
shall have reasonable grounds to believe that a Release or threatened Release of Hazardous
Substances which any Person may be legally obligated to contain, correct or otherwise remediate or
which otherwise may expose such Person to liability may have occurred, relating to any Subject
Property, or that any of the Subject Property is not in compliance with Environmental Laws to the
extent required by the Loan Documents, Borrower shall promptly upon the request of Agent obtain and
deliver to Agent such environmental assessments of such Subject Property prepared by an
Environmental Engineer as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of evaluating or confirming
(i) whether any Hazardous Substances are present in the soil or water at or adjacent to such
Subject Property and (ii) whether the use and operation of such Subject Property comply with all
Environmental Laws to the extent required by the Loan Documents. Environmental assessments may
include detailed visual inspections of such Subject Property including, without limitation, any and
all storage areas, storage tanks, drains, dry wells and leaching areas, and the taking of soil
samples, as well as such other investigations or analyses as are reasonably necessary or
appropriate for a complete determination of the compliance of such Subject Property and the use and
operation thereof with all applicable Environmental Laws. All environmental assessments
contemplated by this §8.6 shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Borrower.

     §8.7 Distributions.

          (a) The Borrower shall not pay any Distribution to the partners of the Borrower, and Parent
shall not pay any Distribution to its shareholders, if such Distribution is in excess of the amount
which (i) for the calendar quarter ending December 31, 2007 would exceed ninety-five percent (95%)
of such Person’s Funds from Operations for the preceding calendar quarter, (ii) for the calendar
quarter ending March 31, 2008, when added to the amount of all other Distributions paid in the same
calendar quarter and the preceding calendar quarter, would exceed ninety-five percent (95%) of such
Person’s Funds from Operations for the two (2) preceding calendar quarters, (iii) for the calendar
quarter ending June 30, 2008, when added to the amount of all other Distributions paid in the same
calendar quarter and the preceding two (2) calendar quarters, would exceed ninety-five percent
(95%) of such Person’s Funds from Operations for the three (3) preceding calendar quarters; and
(iv) for the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2008 and thereafter, when added to the amount of
all other Distributions paid in the same calendar quarter and the preceding three (3) calendar
quarters, would exceed ninety-five percent (95%) of such Person’s Funds from Operations for the
preceding four (4) calendar

71

 

quarters; provided that the limitations contained in this §8.7(a) shall not preclude
the Borrower from making Distributions to Parent in an amount equal to the minimum distributions
required under the Code to maintain the REIT Status of Parent, as evidenced by a certification of
the principal financial or accounting officer of the Parent containing calculations in detail
reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Agent.

          (b) In the event that a Default under §12.1(a) or (b) or an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, (i) the Borrower shall make no Distributions other than Distributions
to Parent in an amount equal to the minimum distributions required under the Code to maintain the
REIT Status of Parent and (ii) Parent shall make no Distributions other than Distributions in an
amount equal to the minimum distributions under the Code to maintain the REIT Status of Parent, in
each case as evidenced by a certification of the principal financial or accounting officer of the
Parent containing calculations in detail reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the
Agent.

          (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time when an Event of Default under §12.1(a), (b),
(g), (h) or (i) shall have occurred or the maturity of the Obligations has been accelerated,
neither Borrower nor Parent shall make any Distributions whatsoever, directly or indirectly.

     §8.8 Asset Sales. The Borrower will not, and will not permit its Subsidiaries or the
Guarantors to, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any material asset other than pursuant to a
bona fide arm’s length transaction. In addition, neither the Borrower, the Guarantors nor any
Subsidiary thereof shall sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of any asset in a single or a series
of related transactions with an aggregate value greater than twenty percent (20%) of the
Consolidated Total Asset Value without the prior written approval of the Required Lenders.

     §8.9 [Intentionally Omitted.]

     §8.10 Restriction on Prepayment of Indebtedness. The Borrower and Parent will not,
and will not permit their respective Subsidiaries to, (a) prepay, redeem, defease, purchase or
otherwise retire the principal amount, in whole or in part, of any Indebtedness other than the
Obligations after the occurrence of any Event of Default; provided, that the foregoing
shall not prohibit (x) the prepayment of Indebtedness which is financed solely from the proceeds of
a new loan which would otherwise be permitted by the terms of §8.1; and (y) the prepayment,
redemption, defeasance or other retirement of the principal of Indebtedness secured by Real Estate
which is satisfied solely from the proceeds of a sale of the Real Estate securing such
Indebtedness; and (b) modify any document evidencing any Indebtedness (other than the Obligations)
to accelerate the maturity date of such Indebtedness after the occurrence of an Event of Default.

     §8.11 Zoning and Contract Changes and Compliance. Neither the Borrower nor any
Guarantor shall initiate or consent to any zoning reclassification of any of its Subject Property
or seek any variance under any existing zoning ordinance or use or permit the use of any Subject
Property in any manner that could reasonably be expected to result in such use becoming a
non-conforming use under any zoning ordinance or any other applicable land use law, rule or
regulation. Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor shall initiate any change in any laws,

72

 

requirements of governmental authorities or obligations created by private contracts and
Leases which now or hereafter may materially adversely affect the ownership, occupancy, use or
operation of any Subject Property.

     §8.12 Derivatives Contracts. Neither the Borrower nor any of its Subsidiaries shall

     §8.13 Transactions with Affiliates. Neither Parent nor the Borrower shall, and
neither of them shall permit any other Guarantor or any Subsidiary of the Borrower or any other
Guarantor to, permit to exist or enter into, any transaction (including the purchase, sale, lease

any Subsidiary of Parent, the Borrower or any other Guarantor), except (i) transactions in
connection with the Management Agreements, (ii) transactions set forth on Schedule 6.15
attached hereto and (iii) transactions in the ordinary course of business pursuant to the
reasonable requirements of the business of such Person and upon fair and reasonable terms which are
no less favorable to such Person than would be obtained in a comparable arm’s length transaction
with a Person that is not an Affiliate.

     §8.14 Equity Pledges. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
Parent will not create or incur or suffer to be created or incurred any Lien on any legal,
equitable or beneficial interest of Parent in Borrower, including, without limitation, any
Distributions or rights to Distributions on account thereof.

     §8.15 Trust Preferred Equity. The Borrower and the Parent shall not permit the Trust
Preferred Equity to exceed in the aggregate the greater of (a) ten percent (10%) of Consolidated
Total Asset Value and (b) $60,000,000 (provided that to the extent any such Trust Preferred Equity
exceeds such limit, such excess shall be considered Indebtedness, and interest paid thereon shall
be considered Interest Expense, for the purposes of this Agreement). The Borrower and the Parent
will not make or permit any amendment or modification to the indenture, note or other agreements
evidencing or governing any Trust Preferred Equity, or directly or indirectly pay, prepay, defease
or in substance defease, purchase, redeem, retire or otherwise acquire any Trust Preferred Equity
if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

of any Eligible Note Receivable or any related loan documents which constitutes a Material
Modification without the prior written approval of Agent. Borrower shall promptly notify Agent in
writing of any amendments, modifications, or waivers requested by any borrower thereunder, and
provide Agent with copies of such amendments, modifications or waivers promptly following the
execution thereof. Without limiting the foregoing, neither Borrower nor any Guarantor may waive
any material default by a borrower under an Eligible Note Receivable or consent to any additional
Liens on the property subject to such Eligible Note Receivable. For the purposes hereof, a
“Material Modification” shall be any of the following: (i) any forgiveness, reduction, waiver or

respect thereto (or any amounts attributable thereto); (ii) any reduction in, waiver of or
forbearance from collection of the rate of interest payable under any Eligible Note Receivable or

increase the obligations of the holder of such Eligible Note Receivable, materially reduce the
rights or benefits afforded to such holder thereby, or adversely affect or have an adverse impact
on such Eligible Note Receivable or related loan documents, the Collateral or the rights and
benefits afforded to the Agent and the Banks pursuant to the Loan Documents.

          (b) Neither Borrower nor any Guarantor shall modify any Lease (or with respect to an Eligible

without the prior written consent of Agent. Borrower shall provide Agent with copies of any such
amendments promptly following the execution thereof.

     §8.17 Maximum Tenant Concentration. Borrower shall not permit any single tenant (or

respective Subsidiaries (whether such property is owned, leased or is subject to a Mortgage

Consolidated Total Asset Value (for the purposes hereof, tenants shall not be considered Affiliates
of each other solely by virtue of having common ownership by an equity fund provided that their
financial results are not consolidated with a common parent entity).

     §8.18 Minimum Lease Term. Borrower shall not permit the average remaining lease term
for the Real Estate of Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries and any
properties which are the subject of any Mortgage Receivable to have an aggregate average remaining

made by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries
contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or in any document or instrument delivered
pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall be true in all material respects both as of
the date as of which they were made and shall also be true in all material respects as of the time
of the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit, with the same effect as if
made at and as of that time (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty
which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct only as
of such specified date) and except to the extent of any changes resulting from transactions
permitted by this Agreement that singly or in the aggregate have not had or could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing.

77

 

     §11.3 Borrowing Documents. The Agent shall have received a fully completed Loan
Request for such Loan and the other documents and information as required by §2.6, or a fully

§12. EVENTS OF DEFAULT; ACCELERATION; ETC.

     §12.1 Events of Default and Acceleration. If any of the following events (“Events of
Default” or, if the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both is required, then, prior to such
notice or lapse of time, “Defaults”) shall occur:

          (a) the Borrower shall fail to pay any principal of the Loans when the same shall become due
and payable, whether at the stated date of maturity or any accelerated date of maturity or at any
other date fixed for payment;

          (b) the Borrower shall fail to pay any interest on the Loans, any reimbursement obligations
with respect to the Letters of Credit or any fees or other sums due hereunder or under any of the

perform any term, covenant or agreement contained in any agreement by which it is bound, evidencing
or securing any such borrowed money or credit received or other Indebtedness for such period of
time as would permit (assuming the giving of appropriate notice if required) the holder or holders
thereof or of any obligations issued thereunder to accelerate the maturity thereof or require the
prepayment, redemption or purchase thereof; provided, however, that the events described in this
§12.1(f) shall not constitute an Event of Default unless such failure to perform, together with
other failures to perform as described in this §12.1(f), involve

78

 

singly or in the aggregate obligations for Recourse Indebtedness totaling in excess of
$5,000,000.00 or Non-Recourse Indebtedness totaling in excess of $20,000,000.00;

          (g) any of the Borrower, the Guarantors, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (i) shall

bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or
liquidation or similar law of any jurisdiction, now or hereafter in effect, or (iii) shall take any
action to authorize or in furtherance of any of the foregoing; provided that the events described
in this §12.1(g) as to any Subsidiary of the Borrower that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor shall not
constitute an Event of Default unless the value of the assets of any such Subsidiary or
Subsidiaries that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor (calculated, to the extent applicable, consistent
with the calculation of Consolidated Total Asset Value) subject to an event or events described in
§12.1(g), §12.1(h) or §12.1(i) individually exceeds $25,000,000 or in the aggregate exceeds
$50,000,000;

          (h) a petition or application shall be filed for the appointment of a trustee or other
custodian, liquidator or receiver of any of the Borrower, the Guarantors, or any of their

arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation or similar law of any
jurisdiction, now or hereafter in effect, and any such Person shall indicate its approval thereof,
consent thereto or acquiescence therein or such petition, application, case or proceeding shall not
have been dismissed within sixty (60) days following the filing or commencement thereof; provided
that the events described in this §12.1(h) as to any Subsidiary of the Borrower that is not a

applicable, consistent with the calculation of Consolidated Total Asset Value) subject to an event
or events described in §12.1(g), §12.1(h) or §12.1(i) individually exceeds $25,000,000 or in the
aggregate exceeds $50,000,000;

          (i) a decree or order is entered appointing a trustee, custodian, liquidator or receiver for

under federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter constituted; provided that the events described
in this §12.1(i) as to any Subsidiary of the Borrower that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor shall not

Subsidiaries that is not a Subsidiary Guarantor (calculated, to the extent applicable, consistent
with the calculation of Consolidated Total Asset Value) subject to an event or events described in
§12.1(g), §12.1(h) or §12.1(i) individually exceeds $25,000,000 or in the aggregate exceeds
$50,000,000;

written agreement, consent or approval of the Lenders, or any action at law, suit in equity or
other legal proceeding to cancel, revoke or rescind any of the Loan Documents or the Contribution
Agreement shall be commenced by or on behalf of any of the Borrower or the Guarantors, or any court
or any other governmental or regulatory authority or agency of competent jurisdiction shall make a
determination, or issue a judgment, order, decree or ruling, to the effect that any one or more of

with the terms thereof;

          (l) any dissolution, termination, partial or complete liquidation, merger or consolidation of
any of Parent, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall occur or any sale,

respective Subsidiaries shall occur other than as permitted under the terms of this Agreement or
the other Loan Documents;

          (m) with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan, an ERISA Reportable Event shall have occurred
and the Required Lenders shall have determined in their reasonable discretion that such event
reasonably could be expected to result in liability of any of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any
of their respective Subsidiaries to the PBGC or such Guaranteed Pension Plan in an aggregate amount
exceeding $5,000,000.00 and such event in the circumstances occurring reasonably could constitute
grounds for the termination of such Guaranteed Pension Plan by the PBGC or for the appointment by
the appropriate United States District Court of a trustee to administer such Guaranteed Pension
Plan; or a trustee shall have been appointed by the United States District Court to administer such
Plan; or the PBGC shall have instituted proceedings to terminate such Guaranteed Pension Plan;

          (n) the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any Person so
connected with any of them shall be indicted for a federal crime, a punishment for which could
include the forfeiture of (i) any assets of Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective
Subsidiaries which in the good faith judgment of the Required Lenders could reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) the Collateral or any Eligible Real Estate or Eligible
Note Receivable included in the calculation of the Borrowing Base Value;

          (o) any Guarantor denies that it has any liability or obligation under the Guaranty or any
other Loan Document, or shall notify the Agent or any of the Lenders of such Guarantor’s intention
to attempt to cancel or terminate the Guaranty or any other Loan Document, or shall fail to observe
or comply with any term, covenant, condition or agreement under the Guaranty or any other Loan
Document;

          (p) any Change of Control shall occur;

80

 

          (q) an Event of Default under any of the other Loan Documents shall occur; or

          (r) the occurrence of any event, act or condition which the Required Lenders determine either
does or is highly likely to cause a Material Adverse Effect;

then, and in any such event, the Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, by
notice in writing to the Borrower declare all amounts owing with respect to this Agreement, the
Notes, the Letters of Credit and the other Loan Documents to be, and they shall thereupon forthwith
become, immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any
kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided that in the event
of any Event of Default specified in §12.1(g), §12.1(h) or §12.1(i), all such amounts shall become
immediately due and payable automatically and without any requirement of presentment, demand,
protest or other notice of any kind from any of the Lenders or the Agent. Upon demand by Agent or
the Required Lenders in their absolute and sole discretion after the occurrence of an Event of
Default, and regardless of whether the conditions precedent in this Agreement for a Loan have been
satisfied, the Lenders will cause a Loan to be made in the undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit.
The proceeds of any such Loan will be pledged to and held by Agent as security for any amounts
that become payable under the Letters of Credit and all other Obligations. In the alternative, if
demanded by Agent in its absolute and sole discretion after the occurrence of an Event of Default,
Borrower will deposit with and pledge to Agent cash in an amount equal to the amount of all undrawn
Letters of Credit. Such amounts will be pledged to and held by Agent for the benefit of the
Lenders as security for any amounts that become payable under the Letters of Credit and all other
Obligations. Upon any draws under Letters of Credit, at Agent’s sole discretion, Agent may apply
any such amounts to the repayment of amounts drawn thereunder and upon the expiration of the
Letters of Credit any remaining amounts will be applied to the payment of all other Obligations or
if there are no outstanding Obligations and Lenders have no further obligation to make Loans or
issue Letters of Credit or if such excess no longer exists, such proceeds deposited by Borrower
will be released to Borrower.

     §12.2 Certain Cure Periods; Limitation of Cure Periods.

          (a) Notwithstanding anything contained in §12.1 to the contrary, (i) no Event of Default shall
exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any failure described in §12.1(b) in the event that the
Borrower cures such Default within five (5) Business Days following receipt of written notice of
such Default, provided, however, that Borrower shall not be entitled to receive
more than two (2) notices in the aggregate pursuant to this clause (i) in any period of 365 days
ending on the date of any such occurrence of Default, and provided further that no
such cure period shall apply to any payments due upon the maturity of the Notes, and (ii) no Event
of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any failure described in §12.1(d) in the
event that the Borrower cures such Default within thirty (30) days following receipt of written
notice of such default, provided that the provisions of this clause (ii) shall not pertain
to defaults consisting of a failure to provide insurance as required by §7.7, to any default
consisting of a failure to comply with §7.4(c),§7.4(d), §7.18, §8.1, §8.2, §8.3, §8.4, §8.7, §8.8,
§8.14, §8.16 or to any Default excluded from any provision of cure of defaults contained in any
other of the Loan Documents.

81

 

          (b) In the event that there shall occur any Default that affects only certain Subject
Property, Eligible Notes Receivable or the Subsidiary Guarantor owner(s) thereof, then the Borrower
may elect to cure such Default (so long as no other Default or Event of Default would arise as a
result) by electing to have Agent remove such Subject Property or Eligible Note Receivable from the
calculation of the Borrowing Base Value and by reducing the outstanding Loans and Letters of Credit
so that no Default exists under this Agreement, in which event such removal and reduction shall be
completed within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice of such Default from the Agent or
the Required Lenders.

     §12.3 Termination of Commitments. If any one or more Events of Default specified in
§12.1(g), §12.1(h) or §12.1(i) shall occur, then immediately and without any action on the part of
the Agent or any Lender any unused portion of the credit hereunder shall terminate and the Lenders
shall be relieved of all obligations to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit to the Borrower. If
any other Event of Default shall have occurred, the Agent may, and upon the election of the
Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower terminate the obligation to make Loans and issue
Letters of Credit to the Borrower. No termination under this §12.3 shall relieve the Borrower of
its obligations to the Lenders arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.

     §12.4 Remedies. In case any one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, and whether or not the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans
pursuant to §12.1, the Agent on behalf of the Lenders may, and with the consent of the Required
Lenders shall, proceed to protect and enforce their rights and remedies under this Agreement, the
Notes and/or any of the other Loan Documents by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate
proceeding, including to the full extent permitted by applicable law the specific performance of
any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the obtaining
of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, and, if any amount shall have become due, by declaration
or otherwise, the enforcement of the payment thereof. No remedy herein conferred upon the Agent or
the holder of any Note is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy
shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement providing that the Loans may be evidenced by
multiple Notes in favor of the Lenders, the Lenders acknowledge and agree that only the Agent may
exercise any remedies arising by reason of a Default or Event of Default. If Borrower or any
Guarantor fails to perform any agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents beyond any applicable period for notice and cure, Agent may itself perform, or
cause to be performed, any agreement or covenant of such Person contained in this Agreement or any
of the other Loan Documents which such Person shall fail to perform, and the out-of-pocket costs of
such performance, together with any reasonable expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees
actually incurred (including attorneys’ fees incurred in any appeal) by Agent in connection
therewith, shall be payable by Borrower upon demand and shall constitute a part of the Obligations
and shall if not paid within five (5) Business Days after demand bear interest at the Default Rate.
In the event that all or any portion of the Obligations is collected by or through an
attorney-at-law, the Borrower shall pay all costs of collection including, but not limited to,
reasonable attorney’s fees.

82

 

     §12.5 Distribution of Collateral Proceeds. In the event that, following the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any monies are received in
connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise with respect to the
realization upon any of the Collateral or other assets of Borrower or the Guarantors, such monies
shall be distributed for application as follows:

          (a) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of the Agent for or in
respect of, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have
been paid, incurred or sustained by the Agent to protect or preserve the Collateral or in
connection with the collection of such monies by the Agent, for the exercise, protection or
enforcement by the Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Agent
or the Lenders under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in respect of the
Collateral or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity to the Agent against any taxes or
liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of the Agent or the Lenders to
such monies;

          (b) Second, to all other Obligations (including any interest, expenses or other obligations
incurred after the commencement of a bankruptcy) in such order or preference as the Required
Lenders shall determine; provided, that (i) distributions in respect of such other
Obligations shall include, on a pari passu basis, any Agent’s fee payable pursuant to §4.2; (ii) in
the event that any Lender shall have wrongfully failed or refused to make an advance under §2.6 or
§2.9(f) and such failure or refusal shall be continuing, advances made by other Lenders during the
pendency of such failure or refusal shall be entitled to be repaid as to principal and accrued
interest in priority to the other Obligations described in this subsection (b), and (iii) except as
otherwise provided in clause (ii), Obligations owing to the Lenders with respect to each type of
Obligation such as interest, principal, fees and expenses shall be made among the Lenders pro rata;
and provided, further that the Required Lenders may in their discretion make proper
allowance to take into account any Obligations not then due and payable; and

          (c) Third, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower or to such other Persons as
are entitled thereto.

§13. SETOFF.

     Regardless of the adequacy of any Collateral, during the continuance of any Event of Default,
any deposits (general or specific, time or demand, provisional or final, regardless of currency,
maturity, or the branch where such deposits are held) or other sums credited by or due from any
Lender to the Borrower or the Guarantors and any securities or other property of the Borrower or
the Guarantors in the possession of such Lender may, without notice to Borrower or any Guarantor
(any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower, Parent and each of the other Guarantors) but
with the prior written approval of Agent, be applied to or set off against the payment of
Obligations and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or
to become due, now existing or hereafter arising, of the Borrower or the Guarantors to such Lender.
Each of the Lenders agrees with each other Lender that if such Lender shall receive from the
Borrower or the Guarantors, whether by voluntary payment, exercise of the right of setoff, or
otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the Note or Notes held by such Lender any
amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments

83

 

received by all of the Lenders with respect to the Notes held by all of the Lenders, such
Lender will make such disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders with respect to such
excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of claims, subrogation
or otherwise as shall result in each Lender receiving in respect of the Notes held by it its
proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if all or any part
of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such disposition and arrangements
shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.

§14. THE AGENT.

     §14.1 Authorization. The Agent is authorized to take such action on behalf of each of
the Lenders and to exercise all such powers as are hereunder and under any of the other Loan
Documents and any related documents delegated to the Agent, together with such powers as are
reasonably incident thereto, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed
herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the Agent. The obligations of the Agent
hereunder are primarily administrative in nature, and nothing contained in this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents shall be construed to constitute the Agent as a trustee for any Lender or
to create an agency or fiduciary relationship. Agent shall act as the contractual representative
of the Lenders hereunder, and notwithstanding the use of the term “Agent”, it is understood and
agreed that Agent shall not have any fiduciary duties or responsibilities to any Lender by reason
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and is acting as an independent contractor, the duties
and responsibilities of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents. The Borrower and any other Person shall be entitled to conclusively rely on
a statement from the Agent that it has the authority to act for and bind the Lenders pursuant to
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

     §14.2 Employees and Agents. The Agent may exercise its powers and execute its duties
by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel
concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. The Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as the Agent may reasonably
determine, and all reasonable fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the Borrower.

     §14.3 No Liability. Neither the Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors,
officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent, or
employee thereof, shall be liable for (a) any waiver, consent or approval given or any action
taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan
Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any
oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that the Agent or such other Person, as the case
may be, shall be liable for losses due to its willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal
periods or (b) any action taken or not taken by Agent with the consent or at the request of the
Required Lenders. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of
any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal,
interest and fees required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Agent
has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to the Loan Documents

84

 

and describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that
such notice is a “notice of default”.

     §14.4 No Representations. The Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or
validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, any of the other Loan Documents or any
instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Notes,
or for the value of any such collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or
collectability of any such amounts owing with respect to the Notes, or for any recitals or
statements, warranties or representations made herein, or any agreement, instrument or certificate
delivered in connection therewith or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or
instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of
their respective Subsidiaries, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or
observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any of the other
Loan Documents. The Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or
request delivered to it by the Borrower, the Guarantors or any holder of any of the Notes shall
have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. The Agent has not made nor does it
now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to
the Lenders, with respect to the creditworthiness or financial condition of the Borrower, the
Guarantors, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or the value of the Collateral or any other
assets of the Borrower or the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Each Lender
acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender,
and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit
analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will,
independently and without reliance upon the Agent or any other Lender, based upon such information
and documents as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis and
decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Agent’s Special Counsel has only represented Agent and KeyBank in connection with the Loan
Documents and the only attorney client relationship or duty of care is between Agent’s Special
Counsel and Agent or KeyBank. Each Lender has been independently represented by separate counsel on
all matters regarding the Loan Documents and the granting and perfecting of liens in the
Collateral.

     §14.5 Payments.

          (a) A payment by the Borrower or any Guarantor to the Agent hereunder or under any of the
other Loan Documents for the account of any Lender shall constitute a payment to such Lender. The
Agent agrees to distribute to each Lender not later than one Business Day after the Agent’s receipt
of good funds, determined in accordance with the Agent’s customary practices, such Lender’s pro
rata share of payments received by the Agent for the account of the Lenders except as otherwise
expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. In the event that the Agent fails
to distribute such amounts within one Business Day as provided above, the Agent shall pay interest
on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in
effect.

          (b) If in the opinion of the Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such
capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in
liability, it may refrain from making such distribution until its right to make such

85

 

distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of
competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Agent is to be
repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the
Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in
such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.

          (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, any Lender that fails (i) to make available to the Agent its pro rata share of any
Loan or participation in a Letter of Credit, (ii) to comply with the provisions of §13 with respect
to making dispositions and arrangements with the other Lenders, where such Lender’s share of any
payment received, whether by setoff or otherwise, is in excess of its pro rata share of such
payments due and payable to all of the Lenders, in each case as, when and to the full extent
required by the provisions of this Agreement, or (iii) to perform any other obligation within the
time period specified for performance, or if no time period is specified, if such failure continues
for a period of five (5) Business Days after notice from the Agent shall be deemed delinquent (a
“Delinquent Lender”) and shall be deemed a Delinquent Lender until such time as such delinquency is
satisfied. In addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Agent at law and in
equity, a Delinquent Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Loan Documents,
including, without limitation, any rights to consent to or direct any action or inaction of the
Agent pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, or to be taken into account in the calculation of
Required Lenders or any matter requiring approval of all of the Lenders, shall be suspended while
such Lender is a Delinquent Lender. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and
all payments due to it from the Borrower or the Guarantors, whether on account of outstanding
Loans, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining nondelinquent Lenders for application to, and
reduction of, their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans. The Delinquent Lender
hereby authorizes the Agent to distribute such payments to the nondelinquent Lenders in proportion
to their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans. The provisions of this Section shall
apply and be effective regardless of whether an Event of Default occurs and is then continuing, and
notwithstanding (i) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or (ii) any instruction
of Borrower as to its desired application of payments. The Agent shall be entitled to (i) withhold
or set off, and to apply to the payment of the obligations of any Delinquent Lender any amounts to
be paid to such Delinquent Lender under this Agreement, (ii) to collect interest from such Lender
for the period from the date on which the payment was due at the rate per annum equal to the
Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one percent (1%), for each day during such period, and (iii)
bring an action or suit against such Delinquent Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to
recover the defaulted obligations of such Delinquent Lender. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed
to have satisfied in full a delinquency when and if, as a result of application of the assigned
payments to all outstanding Loans of the nondelinquent Lenders or as a result of other payments by
the Delinquent Lenders to the nondelinquent Lenders, the Lenders’ respective pro rata shares of all
outstanding Loans have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and
without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency.

     §14.6 Holders of Notes. Subject to the terms of §18, the Agent may deem and treat the
payee of any Note as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall
have been furnished in writing with a different name by such payee or by a subsequent holder,
assignee or transferee.

86

 

     §14.7 Indemnity. The Lenders ratably agree hereby to indemnify and hold harmless the
Agent from and against any and all claims, actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise),
losses, damages, costs, expenses (including any expenses for which the Agent has not been
reimbursed by the Borrower as required by §15), and liabilities of every nature and character
arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents or the
transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or the Agent’s actions taken hereunder or
thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agent’s
willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods. The agreements in this §14.7 shall survive
the payment of all amounts payable under the Loan Documents.

     §14.8 Agent as Lender. In its individual capacity, KeyBank shall have the same
obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Commitment and the Loans
made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes as it would have were it not also the Agent.

     §14.9 Resignation. The Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) calendar
days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. Any such resignation may at
Agent’s option also constitute Agent’s resignation as Issuing Lender. Upon any such resignation,
the Required Lenders, subject to the terms of §18.1, shall have the right to appoint as a successor
Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender, any Lender or any bank whose senior debt obligations are
rated not less than “A” or its equivalent by Moody’s or not less than “A” or its equivalent by S&P
and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000.00. Unless a Default or Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, such successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender,
shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor Agent shall have been appointed
and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving
of notice of resignation, then the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a
successor Agent, which shall be any Lender or any bank whose senior debt obligations are rated not
less than “A2” or its equivalent by Moody’s or not less than “A” or its equivalent by S&P and which
has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000.00. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent
and, if applicable, Issuing Lender, hereunder by a successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing
Lender, such successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender, shall thereupon succeed to and
become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent and, if
applicable, Issuing Lender, and the retiring Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender, shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder as Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender.
After any retiring Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it while it was acting as Agent and Issuing Lender. If the resigning Agent shall also
resign as the Issuing Lender, such successor Agent shall issue letters of credit in substitution
for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or shall make other
arrangements satisfactory to the current Issuing Lender, in either case, to assume effectively the
obligations of the current Agent with respect to such Letters of Credit. Upon any change in the
Agent under this Agreement, the resigning Agent shall execute such assignments of and amendments to
the Loan Documents as may be necessary to substitute the successor Agent for the resigning Agent.

87

 

     §14.10 Duties in the Case of Enforcement. In case one or more Events of Default have
occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have
occurred, the Agent may and, if (a) so requested by the Required Lenders and (b) the Lenders have
provided to the Agent such additional indemnities and assurances in accordance with their
respective Commitment Percentages against expenses and liabilities as the Agent may reasonably
request, shall proceed to exercise all or any legal and equitable and other rights or remedies as
it may have; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent shall have received such
directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking
such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem to be in the best
interests of the Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Agent reasonably
determines payment is in the best interest of all the Lenders, Agent may without the approval of
the Lenders pay taxes and insurance premiums and spend money for maintenance, repairs or other
expenses which may be necessary to be incurred, and Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the
Lenders of such action. Each Lender shall, within thirty (30) days of request therefor, pay to the
Agent its Commitment Percentage of the reasonable costs incurred by the Agent in taking any such
actions hereunder to the extent that such costs shall not be promptly reimbursed to the Agent by
the Borrower or the Guarantors or out of the Collateral within such period. The Required Lenders
may direct the Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such exercise, the Lenders
hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the Agent harmless in accordance with their respective
Commitment Percentages from all liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in
accordance with such directions, provided that the Agent need not comply with any such
direction to the extent that the Agent reasonably believes the Agent’s compliance with such
direction to be unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction or commercially unreasonable in any
applicable jurisdiction.

     §14.11 Bankruptcy. In the event a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is
commenced by or against Borrower or any Guarantor with respect to the Obligations, the Agent shall
have the sole and exclusive right to file and pursue a joint proof claim on behalf of all Lenders.
Any votes with respect to such claims or otherwise with respect to such proceedings shall be
subject to the vote of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders as required by this Agreement.
Each Lender irrevocably waives its right to file or pursue a separate proof of claim in any such
proceedings unless Agent fails to file such claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of written
notice from the Lenders requesting that Agent file such proof of claim.

     §14.12 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not
incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement,
instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet
website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent
or otherwise authenticated by an Authorized Officer. The Agent also may rely upon any statement
made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and
shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition
hereunder to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a
Lender, the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent
shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The
Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants
and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it
in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.

88

 

     §14.13 Approvals. If consent is required for some action under this Agreement, or
except as otherwise provided herein an approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders is required
or permitted under this Agreement, each Lender agrees to give the Agent, within ten (10) days of
receipt of the request for action together with all reasonably requested information related
thereto (or such lesser period of time required by the terms of the Loan Documents), notice in
writing of approval or disapproval (collectively “Directions”) in respect of any action requested
or proposed in writing pursuant to the terms hereof. To the extent that any Lender does not
approve any recommendation of Agent, such Lender shall in such notice to Agent describe the actions
that would be acceptable to such Lender. If consent is required for the requested action, any
Lender’s failure to respond to a request for Directions within the required time period shall be
deemed to constitute a Direction to take such requested action. In the event that any
recommendation is not approved by the requisite number of Lenders and a subsequent approval on the
same subject matter is requested by Agent, then for the purposes of this paragraph each Lender
shall be required to respond to a request for Directions within five (5) Business Days of receipt
of such request. Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to assume that any officer of the other
Lenders delivering any notice, consent, certificate or other writing is authorized to give such
notice, consent, certificate or other writing unless Agent and such other Lenders have otherwise
been notified in writing.

     §14.14 Borrower Not Beneficiary. Except for the provisions of §14.9 relating to the
appointment of a successor Agent, the provisions of this §14 are solely for the benefit of the
Agent and the Lenders, may not be enforced by the Borrower or any Guarantor, and except for the
provisions of §14.9, may be modified or waived without the approval or consent of the Borrower and
Guarantors.

§15. EXPENSES.

     The Borrower agrees to pay (a) the reasonable costs of producing and reproducing this
Agreement, the other Loan Documents and the other agreements and instruments mentioned herein, (b)
any taxes (including any interest and penalties in respect thereto) payable by the Agent or any of
the Lenders (other than taxes based upon the Agent’s or any Lender’s gross or net income, except

party), including any recording, mortgage, documentary or intangibles taxes in connection with the

against the Borrower or the Guarantors or the administration thereof after the occurrence of a

delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents (without duplication of any of the items
listed above), and (i) all expenses relating to the use of Intralinks, SyndTrak or any other
similar system for the dissemination and sharing of documents and information in connection with
the Loans. The covenants of this §15 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination
of the obligations of the Lenders hereunder for two (2) years following repayment of the Loans and
termination of the obligations of the Lenders to lend or issue Letters of Credit hereunder.

§16. INDEMNIFICATION.

     The Borrower and Parent, jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless the
Agent, the Lenders and the Arranger and each director, officer, employee, agent and Person who
controls the Agent or any Lender or the Arranger against any and all claims, actions and suits,
whether groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages and
expenses of every nature and character arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (but not including

90

 

sharing of documents and information, in each case including, without limitation, the

obligated under this §16 to indemnify any Person for liabilities arising from such Person’s own
gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the
exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods. In litigation, or the preparation therefor, the
Lenders and the Agent shall be entitled to select a single law firm as their own counsel and, in
addition to the foregoing indemnity, the Borrower agrees to pay promptly the reasonable fees and
expenses of such counsel. If, and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this
§16 are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution
to the payment in satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under applicable law. The
provisions of this §16 shall survive the repayment of the Loans and the termination of the
obligations of the Lenders hereunder.

§17. SURVIVAL OF COVENANTS, ETC.

     All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made herein, in the Notes, in any of
the other Loan Documents or in any documents or other papers delivered by or on behalf of the
Borrower or the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant hereto or thereto shall
be deemed to have been relied upon by the Lenders and the Agent, notwithstanding any investigation
heretofore or hereafter made by any of them, and shall survive the making by the Lenders of any of
the Loans, as herein contemplated, and shall continue in full force and effect so long as any
amount due under this Agreement or the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents remains outstanding
or any Letters of Credit remain outstanding or any Lender has any obligation to make any Loans or
issue any Letters of Credit. The indemnification obligations of the Borrower provided herein and
in the other Loan Documents shall survive the full repayment of amounts due and the termination of
the obligations of the Lenders hereunder and thereunder to the extent provided herein and therein.
All statements contained in any certificate delivered to any Lender or the Agent at any time by or
on behalf of the Borrower or the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries pursuant hereto
or in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall constitute representations and
warranties by such Person hereunder.

§18. ASSIGNMENT AND PARTICIPATION.

     §18.1 Conditions to Assignment by Lenders. Except as provided herein, each Lender may
assign to one or more banks or other entities all or a portion of its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment Percentage and
Commitment and the same portion of the Loans at the time owing to it and the Notes held by it);
provided that (a) the Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists
hereunder, the Borrower shall have each given its prior written consent to such assignment, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (provided that such consent shall not be
required for any assignment to another Lender, to a lender which is and remains under common
control with the assigning Lender or to a wholly-owned Subsidiary of such Lender, provided that
such assignee shall remain a wholly-owned Subsidiary of such Lender), (b) each such assignment
shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of all the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement, (c) the parties to such assignment shall execute and deliver to

91

 

the Agent, for recording in the Register (as hereinafter defined) an Assignment and Acceptance
Agreement in the form of Exhibit G annexed hereto, together with any Notes subject to such

under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from influence or control by, the
Borrower or any Guarantor, (e) such assignee shall have a net worth or unfunded commitment as of
the date of such assignment of not less than $100,000,000.00 (unless otherwise approved by Agent
and, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, Borrower), (f) such assignee shall
acquire an interest in the Loans of not less than $5,000,000.00 and integral multiples of
$1,000,000.00 in excess thereof (or if less, the remaining Loans of the assignor), unless waived by
the Agent, and so long as no Default or Event of Default exists hereunder, the Borrower, (g) if
such assignment is less than the assigning Lender’s entire Commitment, the assigning Lender shall
retain an interest in the Loans of not less than $5,000,000.00, and (h) such assignee shall be
subject to the terms of any intercreditor agreement among the Lenders and the Agent. Upon
execution, delivery, acceptance and recording of such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, (i) the

obligations of a Lender hereunder, (ii) the assigning Lender shall, upon payment to the Agent of
the registration fee referred to in §18.2, be released from its obligations under this Agreement
arising after the effective date of such assignment with respect to the assigned portion of its
interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (iii) the Agent may unilaterally amend
Schedule 1 to reflect such assignment. In connection with each assignment, the assignee
shall represent and warrant to the Agent, the assignor and each other Lender as to whether such
assignee is controlling, controlled by, under common control with or is not otherwise free from
influence or control by, the Borrower or any Guarantor.

     §18.2 Register. The Agent shall maintain on behalf of the Borrower a copy of each
assignment delivered to it and a register or similar list (the “Register”) for the recordation of
the names and addresses of the Lenders and the Commitment Percentages of and principal amount of
the Loans owing to the Lenders from time to time. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive,
in the absence of manifest error, and the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Agent and the Lenders may
treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of
this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and the Lenders at
any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice. Upon each such
recordation, the assigning Lender agrees to pay to the Agent a registration fee in the sum of
$3,500.00.

     §18.3 New Notes. Upon its receipt of an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement executed
by the parties to such assignment, together with each Note subject to such assignment, the Agent
shall record the information contained therein in the Register. Within five (5) Business Days
after receipt of notice of such assignment from Agent, the Borrower, at its own expense, shall
execute and deliver to the Agent, in exchange for each surrendered Note, a new Note to the order of
such assignee in an amount equal to the amount assigned to such assignee pursuant to such
Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and, if the assigning Lender has retained some portion of its
obligations hereunder, a new Note to the order of the assigning Lender in an amount equal to the

surrendered Notes, shall be in an aggregate principal amount equal to the aggregate principal
amount of the surrendered Notes, shall be dated the effective

92

 

date of such Assignment and Acceptance Agreement and shall otherwise be in substantially the
form of the assigned Notes. The surrendered Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower.

other entities in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents; provided that (a) any such sale or participation shall not affect
the rights and duties of the selling Lender hereunder, (b) such participation shall not entitle
such participant to any rights or privileges under this Agreement or any Loan Documents, including
without limitation, rights granted to the Lenders under §4.8, §4.9 and §4.10, (c) such
participation shall not entitle the participant to the right to approve waivers, amendments or
modifications, (d) such participant shall have no direct rights against the Borrower, (e) such sale
is effected in accordance with all applicable laws, and (f) such participant shall not be a Person
controlling, controlled by or under common control with, or which is not otherwise free from
influence or control by any of the Borrower or any Guarantor; provided, however,
such Lender may agree with the participant that it will not, without the consent of the
participant, agree to (i) increase, or extend the term or extend the time or waive any requirement
for the reduction or termination of, such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the
payment of principal of or interest on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender (other
than pursuant to an extension of the Maturity Date pursuant to §2.11), (iii) reduce the amount of
any such payment of principal, (iv) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon or (v)
release any Guarantor (except as otherwise permitted under this Agreement). Any Lender which sells
a participation shall promptly notify the Agent of such sale and the identity of the purchaser of
such interest.

     §18.5 Pledge by Lender. Any Lender may at any time pledge all or any portion of its
interest and rights under this Agreement (including all or any portion of its Note) to any of the
twelve Federal Reserve Banks organized under §4 of the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U.S.C. §341 or to
such other Person as the Agent may approve to secure obligations of such lenders. No such pledge
or the enforcement thereof shall release the pledgor Lender from its obligations hereunder or under
any of the other Loan Documents.

     §18.6 No Assignment by Borrower. The Borrower shall not assign or transfer any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of each of the
Lenders.

     §18.7 Disclosure. Borrower agrees to promptly cooperate with any Lender in connection
with any proposed assignment or participation of all or any portion of its Commitment. The
Borrower agrees that in addition to disclosures made in accordance with standard banking practices
any Lender may disclose information obtained by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement to assignees
or participants and potential assignees or participants hereunder provided such Persons are advised
of the provisions of this §18.7. Each Lender agrees for itself that it shall use reasonable
efforts in accordance with its customary procedures to hold confidential all non-public information
obtained from Parent, Borrower or any other Guarantor that has been identified verbally or in
writing as confidential by any of them, and shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with its
customary procedures to not disclose such information to any other Person, it being understood and
agreed that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender

93

 

may make (a) disclosures to its participants (provided such Persons are advised of the
provisions of this §18.7), (b) disclosures to its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates,
accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and other professional advisors of such Lender (provided
that such Persons who are not employees of such Lender are advised of the provision of this §18.7),
(c) disclosures customarily provided or reasonably required by any potential or actual bona fide
assignee, transferee or participant or their respective directors, officers, employees, Affiliates,
accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and other professional advisors in connection with a
potential or actual assignment or transfer by such Lender of any Loans or any participations
therein (provided such Persons are advised of the provisions of this §18.7), (d) disclosures to
bank regulatory authorities or self-regulatory bodies with jurisdiction over such Lender, or (e)
disclosures required or requested by any other governmental authority or representative thereof or
pursuant to legal process; provided that, unless specifically prohibited by applicable law or court
order, each Lender shall notify Borrower of any request by any governmental authority or
representative thereof prior to disclosure (other than any such request in connection with any
examination of such Lender by such government authority) for disclosure of any such non-public
information prior to disclosure of such information. Non-public information shall not include any
information which is or subsequently becomes publicly available other than as a result of a
disclosure of such information by a Lender, or prior to the delivery to such Lender is within the
possession of such Lender if such information is not known by such Lender to be subject to another
confidentiality agreement with or other obligations of secrecy to Parent, the Borrower or the other
Guarantors, or is disclosed with the prior approval of Borrower. Nothing herein shall prohibit the
disclosure of non-public information to the extent necessary to enforce the Loan Documents.

     §18.8 Amendments to Loan Documents. Upon any such assignment or participation, the
Borrower and the Guarantors shall, upon the request of the Agent, enter into such documents as may
be reasonably required by the Agent to modify the Loan Documents to reflect such assignment or
participation.

than lender and borrower.

§21. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND SERVICE.

     THIS AGREEMENT AND EACH OF THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED
HEREIN OR THEREIN, SHALL, PURSUANT TO NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW SECTION 5-1401, BE GOVERNED
BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. THE BORROWER AGREES THAT ANY SUIT FOR THE ENFORCEMENT OF

FURTHER ACCEPTS, GENERALLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY, THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF SUCH COURTS AND

Required Lenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of the following may occur without the
written consent of each Lender: (a) a reduction in the rate of interest on the Notes; (b) an
increase in the amount of the Commitments of the Lenders (except as provided in §2.10 and §18.1);
(c) a forgiveness, reduction or waiver of the principal of any unpaid Loan or any interest thereon
or fee payable under the Loan Documents; (d) a change in the amount of any fee payable to a Lender

approve such action. The provisions of §14 may not be amended without the written consent of the
Agent. There shall be no amendment, modification or waiver of any provision in the Loan Documents
with respect to Letters of Credit without the consent of the Issuing Lender. The Borrower agrees
to enter into such modifications or amendments of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents as
reasonably may be requested by KeyBank in connection with the syndication of the Loan,
provided that no such amendment or modification materially affects or increases any of the
obligations of the Borrower hereunder. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not
expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of dealing or delay or omission
on the part of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or
otherwise be prejudicial thereto. No notice to or demand upon any of the Borrower or the
Guarantors shall entitle the Borrower or any Guarantor to other or further notice or demand in
similar or other circumstances.

§28. SEVERABILITY.

jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other
jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.

the Borrower and the Guarantors under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

§30. NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS.

     THE LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE
CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.
THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. ANY ADDITIONAL TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE PARTIES ARE SET FORTH BELOW.

§31. REPLACEMENT NOTES.

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

§32. NO THIRD PARTIES BENEFITED.

     This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are made and entered into for the sole protection
and legal benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Agent and their permitted successors and
assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct
or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents. All conditions to the performance of the obligations of the Agent and the Lenders under
this Agreement, including the obligation to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit, are imposed
solely and exclusively for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and no other Person shall have
standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with their terms or be entitled
to assume that the Agent and the Lenders will refuse to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit in
the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other Person shall, under any
circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any and all of which may be freely
waived in whole or in part by the Agent and the Lenders at any time if in their sole discretion
they deem it desirable to do so. In particular, the Agent and the Lenders make no representations
and assume no obligations as to third parties concerning the quality of the construction by the
Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any development or the absence therefrom of defects.

99

 

§33. PATRIOT ACT.

     Each Lender and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies
Borrower and Guarantors that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to
obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes names
and addresses and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to
identify Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.

FORM OF NOTE

	 	 	 
	$                    

	 	December 29, 2006

     FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, GLADSTONE COMMERCIAL LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware
limited partnership (“Maker”), hereby promises to pay to                                         
(“Payee”), or order, in accordance with the terms of that certain Senior Secured Revolving Credit
Agreement, dated as of December 29, 2006, as from time to time in effect, among Maker, Gladstone
Commercial Corporation, KeyBank National Association, for itself and as Agent, and such other
Lenders as may be from time to time named therein (the “Credit Agreement”), to the extent not
sooner paid, on or before the Maturity Date, the principal sum of                      ($                    ),
or such amount as may be advanced by the Payee under the Credit Agreement as a Loan with daily
interest from the date thereof, computed as provided in the Credit Agreement, on the principal
amount hereof from time to time unpaid, at a rate per annum on each portion of the principal amount
which shall at all times be equal to the rate of interest applicable to such portion in accordance
with the Credit Agreement, and with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, on overdue installments of interest and late charges at the rates provided in the
Credit Agreement. Interest shall be payable on the dates specified in the Credit Agreement, except
that all accrued interest shall be paid at the stated or accelerated maturity hereof or upon the
prepayment in full hereof. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.

     Payments hereunder shall be made to the Agent for the Payee at 127 Public Square, Cleveland,
Ohio 44114-1306, or at such other address as Agent may designate from time to time.

     This Note is one of one or more Notes evidencing borrowings under and is entitled to the
benefits and subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement. The principal of this Note may be
due and payable in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date and is subject to mandatory
prepayment in the amounts and under the circumstances set forth in the Credit Agreement, and may be
prepaid in whole or from time to time in part, all as set forth in the Credit Agreement.

     Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, all agreements between the undersigned
Maker and the Lenders and the Agent, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written
or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the
maturity of any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or
received by the Lenders exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any
circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to the Lenders in excess of the
maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the Lenders shall be reduced to the maximum amount
permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive
anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an
amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance
of the Obligations of the undersigned Maker and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive
interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations of the undersigned Maker, such
excess shall be refunded to the undersigned

A-1

 

Maker. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until
payment in full of the principal of the Obligations of the undersigned Maker (including the period
of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for such full period shall not
exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This paragraph shall control all agreements
between the undersigned Maker and the Lenders and the Agent.

     In case an Event of Default shall occur, the entire principal amount of this Note may become
or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in said Credit Agreement.

     This Note shall, pursuant to New York General Obligations Law Section 5-1401, be governed by
the laws of the State of New York.

     The undersigned Maker and all guarantors and endorsers hereby waive presentment, demand,
notice, protest, notice of intention to accelerate the indebtedness evidenced hereby, notice of
acceleration of the indebtedness evidenced hereby and all other demands and notices in connection
with the delivery, acceptance, performance and enforcement of this Note, except as specifically
otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, and assent to extensions of time of payment or
forbearance or other indulgence without notice.
