Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
On July 31, 2014, Carter Validus Mission Critical REIT II, Inc. (the Company), through a wholly-owned subsidiary of Carter Validus Operating Partnership II, LP (CVOP II) acquired 100% of the fee simple interest in a 13,645 rentable square foot surgical center (the Cy Fair Surgical Center), located in the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land, Texas metropolitan area, for a purchase price of $4,450,000, plus closing costs. The seller of the Cy Fair Surgical Center, Cy-Fair Surgical Properties, LTD, a Texas limited partnership, is not affiliated with us, our advisor or our respective affiliates. We financed the purchase of the Cy Fair Surgical Center using net proceeds from our initial public offering and the KeyBank Credit Facility (as defined below).
In connection with the acquisition, we incurred an acquisition fee of approximately $89,000, or 2% of the purchase price, payable to our advisor. The Company believes the Cy Fair Surgical Center is adequately insured.
The Cy Fair Surgical Center was constructed in 1993. As of July 31, 2014, the Cy Fair Surgical Center was 100% leased to Cy Fair Surgery Center, LTD (Cy Fair).
The following table shows, as of the acquisition date, the principal provisions of the lease terms for the sole tenant of the Cy Fair Surgical Center:

The material terms of the Purchase Agreement (as amended by the First Amendment and Second Amendment to the Purchase Agreement), the Assignment of Purchase Agreement and the Assignment and Assumption of Leases are qualified in their entirety by the agreements attached as Exhibits 10.9 through 10.13 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.03 Creation of Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
On July 31, 2014, CVOP II entered into a credit agreement with KeyBank National Association (KeyBank) to obtain a secured revolving credit facility in an aggregate maximum principal amount of $35,000,000 (the KeyBank Credit Facility). The KeyBank Credit Facility is evidenced by a promissory note in the principal amount of $35,000,000, a credit agreement, a guaranty agreement, a contribution agreement, and a hazardous materials indemnity agreement (collectively, the KeyBank Credit Facility Agreement). The proceeds of loans made under the KeyBank Credit Facility may be used to finance the purchase of properties, for tenant improvements and leasing commissions with respect to real estate, for repayment of indebtedness, for capital expenditures with respect to real estate, and for general corporate and working capital purposes. The KeyBank Credit Facility matures on July 31, 2017 and may be extended by one 12-month period subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including payment of an extension fee.
On July 31, 2014, the Company secured the KeyBank Credit Facility by executing a Deed of Trust, Assignment of Leases and Rents, and Security Agreement on the Cy Fair Surgical Center for the benefit of the lender. During the initial and extended term of the KeyBank Credit Facility Agreement, any loan made under the KeyBank Credit Facility shall bear interest at per annum rates equal to either: (a) the London Interbank Offered Rate, plus an applicable margin ranging from 2.00% to 3.25%, which is determined based on the overall leverage of CVOP II or (b) a base rate which means, for any day, a fluctuating rate per annum equal to the prime rate for such day plus an applicable margin ranging from 1.00% to 2.25%, which is determined based on the overall leverage of CVOP II. In addition to interest, CVOP II is required to pay a fee on the unused portion of the lenders commitments under the KeyBank Credit Facility Agreement at a per annum rate equal to 0.30% if the average daily amount outstanding under the KeyBank Credit Facility is less than 50% of the lenders commitments or 0.20% if the average daily amount outstanding under the KeyBank Credit Facility is greater than 50% of the lenders commitments, and the unused fee is payable quarterly in arrears. Additionally, in the event of default, the lender has the right to terminate its obligations under the KeyBank Credit Facility Agreement, including the funding or future
loans, to accelerate the payment on any unpaid principal amount of all outstanding loans and interest thereon and may seek foreclosure on the Cy Fair Surgical Center or any other properties that are added to the collateral pool.
The actual amount of credit available under the KeyBank Credit Facility is a function of certain loan-to-cost, loan-to-value, debt yield and debt service coverage ratios contained in the KeyBank Credit Facility Agreement. The initial credit available for CVOP II to borrow under the KeyBank Credit Facility will be a maximum principal amount of $2,893,000 and will increase if CVOP II adds additional properties to the collateral pool to secure the KeyBank Credit Facility. Additional financial institutions are expected to become lenders under the KeyBank Credit Facility and, subject to certain conditions, the KeyBank Credit Facility can be increased up to $300,000,000. The obligations of CVOP II with respect to the KeyBank Credit Facility Agreement are guaranteed by the Company, including but not limited to, the payment of any outstanding indebtedness under the KeyBank Credit Facility Agreement and all terms, conditions and covenants of the KeyBank Credit Facility Agreement, as further discussed below. In addition, CVOP II has pledged a security interest in the Cy Fair Surgical Center as collateral to secure the KeyBank Credit Facility pursuant to a deed of trust dated July 31, 2014.
The KeyBank Credit Facility Agreement contains various affirmative and negative covenants that are customary for credit facilities and transactions of this type, including limitations on the incurrence of debt by CVOP II and its subsidiaries that own properties that serve as collateral for the KeyBank Credit Facility, limitations on the nature of CVOP IIs business, and limitations on distributions by the Company, CVOP II and its subsidiaries. The KeyBank Credit Facility Agreement imposes the following financial covenants, which are specifically defined in the KeyBank Credit Facility Agreement, on CVOP II: (a) maximum ratio of indebtedness to gross asset value; (b) minimum ratio of adjusted consolidated EBITDA to consolidated fixed charges; (c) minimum tangible net worth; (d) minimum liquidity thresholds; (e) minimum quarterly equity raise; (f) minimum weighted average remaining lease term of properties in the collateral pool; (g) minimum debt yield; and (h) minimum number of properties in the collateral pool.
On July 31, 2014, in connection with the Companys acquisition of the Cy Fair Surgical Center, CVOP II, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into an assignment of leases and rents with KeyBank to add the Cy Fair Surgical Center to the collateral pool of the KeyBank Credit Facility, which increased CVOP IIs borrowing base availability under the KeyBank Credit Facility by approximately $2,893,000. CVOP II also pledged a security interest in the Cy Fair Surgical Center as collateral to secure the KeyBank Credit Facility pursuant to a deed of trust, dated July 31, 2014. As of August 6, 2014, the Company had drawn $2,893,000 under the KeyBank Credit Facility.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On August 1, 2014, the board of directors of the Company approved and authorized a daily distribution to the Companys stockholders of record as of the close of business on each day of the period commencing on September 1, 2014 and ending November 30, 2014. The distributions will be calculated based on 365 days in the calendar year and will be equal to $0.001753425 per share of Class A and Class T common stock. The distributions for each record date in September 2014, October 2014 and November 2014 would be paid in October 2014, November 2014 and December 2014, respectively. As of August 6, 2014, there were no shares of Class T common stock outstanding. The distributions will be payable to stockholders from legally available funds therefor.

The Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Revolving Credit Lenders Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage. Each request for a Revolving Credit Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all of the conditions required of the 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 Revolving Credit Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied.

The facility unused fee shall be calculated for each day based on the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (a) the average daily amount of the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans (other than Revolving Credit Loans made by a Defaulting Lender), Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swing Loans during such quarter to (b) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment (other than Revolving Credit Commitments made

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 Revolving Credit Commitments shall be reduced or shall terminate as provided in §2.4, with a final payment on the Revolving Credit Maturity Date.

Promptly after receiving any notice from the Borrower delivered pursuant to this §2.4, the Agent will notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of the substance thereof. The Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall also be reduced as provided in §5.4 and §7.7.

Upon the effective date of any such reduction or termination, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders the full amount of any facility fee under §2.3 then accrued on the amount of the reduction. No reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments may be reinstated.

Liabilities), or cause a violation of the covenant set forth in §9.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this §2.5, the Swing Loan Lender shall not be obligated to make any Swing Loan at a time when any other Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Swing Loan Lender is satisfied that the participation therein will otherwise be fully allocated to the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders consistent with §2.13(c) and the Defaulting Lender shall not participate therein, except to the extent the Swing Loan Lender has entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender that are satisfactory to the Swing Loan Lender in its good faith determination to eliminate the Swing Loan Lenders Fronting Exposure with respect to any such Defaulting Lender, including the delivery of cash collateral. Swing Loans shall constitute Revolving Credit Loans for all purposes hereunder. The funding of a Swing Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all of the conditions set forth in §10 and §11 have been satisfied on the date of such funding. The Swing Loan Lender may assume that the conditions in §10 and §11 have been satisfied unless Swing Loan Lender has received written notice from a Revolving Credit Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied. Each Swing Loan shall be due and payable within three (3) Business Days of the date such Swing Loan was provided and the Borrower hereby agrees (to the extent not repaid as contemplated by §2.5(d) below) to repay each Swing Loan on or before the date that is three (3) Business Days from the date such Swing Loan was provided.

The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swing Loan Lender to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Swing Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal thereof, an appropriate notation on the Swing Loan Lenders Record reflecting the making of such Swing Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Swing Loans set forth on the Swing Loan Lenders Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to the Swing Loan Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any such amount on the Swing Loan Lenders Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under the Swing Loan Note to make payments of principal of or interest on any Swing Loan Note when due.
(c) The Borrower shall request a Swing Loan by delivering to the Swing Loan Lender a Loan Request executed by an Authorized Officer no later than 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) on the requested Drawdown Date specifying the amount of the requested Swing Loan (which shall be in the minimum amount of $1,000,000.00) and providing the wire instructions for the delivery of the Swing Loan proceeds. The Loan Request shall also contain the statements and certifications required by §2.7(i) and (ii). Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept such Swing Loan on the Drawdown Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Swing Loan shall be a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan and shall bear interest at the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans. The proceeds of the Swing Loan will be disbursed by wire by the Swing Loan Lender to the Borrower no later than 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time).
38
(d) The Swing Loan Lender shall, within two (2) Business Days after the Drawdown Date with respect to such Swing Loan, request each Revolving Credit Lender, including the Swing Loan Lender, to make a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.1 in an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lenders Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of the Swing Loan outstanding on the date such notice is given. In the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent in writing otherwise on or before noon (Cleveland Time) on the Business Day of the Drawdown Date with respect to such Swing Loan, Agent shall notify the Revolving Credit Lenders that such Revolving Credit Loan shall be a LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month, provided that the making of such LIBOR Rate Loan will not be in contravention of any other provision of this Agreement, or if the making of a LIBOR Rate Loan would be in contravention of this Agreement, then such notice shall indicate that such loan shall be a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Swing Loan Lender to so act on its behalf, and agrees that any amount advanced to the Agent for the benefit of the Swing Loan Lender pursuant to this §2.5(d) shall be considered a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.1. Unless any of the events described in paragraph (h), (i) or (j) of §12.1 shall have occurred (in which event the procedures of §2.5(e) shall apply), each Revolving Credit Lender shall make the proceeds of its Revolving Credit Loan available to the Swing Loan Lender for the account of the Swing Loan Lender at the Agents Head Office prior to 12:00 noon (Cleveland time) in funds immediately available no later than the third (3rd) Business Day after the date such notice is given just as if the Revolving Credit Lenders were funding directly to the Borrower, so that thereafter such Obligations shall be evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Loan shall be immediately applied to repay the Swing Loans.
(e) If for any reason a Swing Loan cannot be refinanced by a Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.5(d), each Revolving Credit Lender will, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.5(d) was to have been made, purchase an undivided participation interest in the Swing Loan in an amount equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Swing Loan. Each Revolving Credit Lender will immediately transfer to the Swing Loan Lender in immediately available funds the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Swing Loan Lender will deliver to such Revolving Credit Lender a Swing Loan participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.
(f) Whenever at any time after the Swing Loan Lender has received from any Revolving Credit Lender such Revolving Credit Lenders participation interest in a Swing Loan, the Swing Loan Lender receives any payment on account thereof, the Swing Loan Lender will distribute to such Revolving Credit Lender its participation interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such Lenders participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided , however , that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Loan Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Swing Loan Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Swing Loan Lender to it.
(g) Each Lenders obligation to fund a Revolving Credit Loan as provided in §2.5(d) or to purchase participation interests pursuant to §2.5(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Revolving Credit
39
Lender or the Borrower may have against the Swing Loan Lender, the Borrower or anyone else for any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of REIT, the Borrower or any of their respective Subsidiaries; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by the Borrower or any Guarantor or any Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Any portions of a Swing Loan not so purchased or converted may be treated by the Agent and Swing Loan Lender as against such Revolving Credit Lender as a Revolving Credit Loan which was not funded by the non-purchasing Lender, thereby making such Revolving Credit Lender a Defaulting Lender. Each Swing Loan, once so sold or converted, shall cease to be a Swing Loan for the purposes of this Agreement, but shall be a Revolving Credit Loan made by each Revolving Credit Lender under its Revolving Credit Commitment.
§2.6 Interest on Loans .

Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall notify each of the Revolving Credit Lenders
40
thereof. Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall obligate the Borrower to accept the Revolving Credit Loan requested from the Revolving Credit Lenders on the proposed Drawdown Date. Nothing herein shall prevent the Borrower from seeking recourse against any Revolving Credit Lender that fails to advance its proportionate share of a requested Revolving Credit Loan as required by this Agreement.

Upon receipt from each such Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit Loans made available to the Agent by the Revolving Credit Lenders by crediting such amount to the account of the Borrower maintained at the Agents Head Office. The failure or refusal of any Revolving Credit Lender to make available to the Agent at the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date, the amount of its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the requested Loans shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender from its several obligation hereunder to make available to the Agent the amount of such other Revolving Credit Lenders Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any requested Loans, including any additional Revolving Credit 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.
(b) Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loans that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lenders Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of a proposed Revolving Credit 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 Agents 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.
41
§2.9 Use of Proceeds . The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans solely for (a) payment of closing costs in connection with this Agreement, (b) acquisitions of fee simple ownership of Real Estate or Real Estate subject to a Ground Lease, (c) tenant improvements and leasing commissions with respect to the Real Estate, (d) repayment of Indebtedness, (e) capital expenditures with respect to the Real Estate, and (f) general corporate and working capital purposes.
§2.10 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 Revolving Credit 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 I 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 Fifteen Million and No/100 Dollars ($15,000,000.00), (iii) in no event shall the sum of (A) the Revolving Credit Loans Outstanding, (B) the Swing Loans Outstanding, and (C) the amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to all Letters of Credit requested) exceed the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or the Borrowing Base Availability or cause a violation of the covenants set forth in §9.1, (v) the conditions set forth in §§10 and 11 shall have been satisfied, and (vi) 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. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this §2.10, the Issuing Lender shall not be obligated to issue, amend, extend, renew or increase any Letter of Credit at a time when any other Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender, unless the Issuing Lender is satisfied that the participation therein will otherwise be fully allocated to the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders consistent with §2.13(c) and the Defaulting Lender shall have no participation therein, except to the extent the Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements with the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender which are satisfactory to the Issuing Lender in its good faith determination to eliminate the Issuing Lenders Fronting Exposure with respect to any such Defaulting Lender, including the delivery of cash collateral. The Issuing Lender may assume that the conditions in §10 and §11 have been satisfied unless it receives written notice from a Revolving Credit Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied. Each Letter of Credit Request shall be executed by an Authorized Officer of the Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Persons authority to request a Letter of Credit on behalf of the 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 Majority 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 one year after the date of issuance thereof, subject to extension pursuant to an evergreen clause acceptable to Agent and Issuing Lender (but in any event the term shall not extend beyond five (5) Business Days prior to the Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit Commitment as a Revolving Credit Loan.
42
(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 officer or chief accounting officer of the Borrower that the Borrower and Guarantors are 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 M attached hereto) and documents as the Issuing Lender may 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.
(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 §2.10(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 Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a participation therein from Issuing Lender in an amount equal to its respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit. No Revolving Credit Lenders obligation to participate in a Letter of Credit shall be affected by any other Revolving Credit Lenders 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 fronting fee calculated at the rate per annum equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum (which fee shall not be less than $1,500 in any event) and an administrative charge of $250, and (ii) for the accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting 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 then Applicable Margin for 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 Revolving Credit 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, documentation and service 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 Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan under this Agreement (the Borrower being deemed to have requested a Revolving Credit 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
43
outstanding Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan under this Agreement) and the Agent shall promptly notify each Revolving Credit Lender by telex, telecopy, telegram, telephone (confirmed in writing) or other similar means of transmission, and each Revolving Credit Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Agent, for the Issuing Lenders own account, an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lenders Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit (to the extent of the amount drawn). The Borrower further hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs Agent to notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of the Borrowers intent to convert such Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month on the third (3 rd ) Business Day following the funding by the Revolving Credit Lenders of their advance under this §2.10(f), provided that the making of such LIBOR Rate Loan shall not be a contravention of any provision of this Agreement. If and to the extent any Revolving Credit Lender shall not make such amount available on the Business Day on which such draw is funded, such Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit Lender was required to fund pursuant to this §2.10(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 Revolving Credit Lenders not so failing or refusing shall be entitled to a priority secured position for such amounts as provided in §12.5. The failure of any Revolving Credit Lender to make funds available to the Agent in such amount shall not relieve any other Revolving Credit Lender of its obligation hereunder to make funds available to the Agent pursuant to this §2.10(f).
(g) If after the issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to §2.10(c) by the Issuing Lender, but prior to the funding of any portion thereof by a Revolving Credit Lender, for any reason a drawing under a Letter of Credit cannot be refinanced as a Revolving Credit Loan, each Revolving Credit Lender will, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.10(f) was to have been made, purchase an undivided participation interest in the Letter of Credit in an amount equal to its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of such Letter of Credit. Each Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit Lender any such Revolving Credit Lenders 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 Revolving Credit Lender its participation interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such Revolving Credit Lenders 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 Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Issuing Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.
44
(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) The 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 Revolving Credit 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 the Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit Lenders in good faith will be binding on the Borrower and will not put Agent, Issuing Lender or the other Revolving Credit Lenders under any resulting liability to the Borrower; provided nothing contained herein shall relieve Issuing Lender for liability to the 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.
§2.11 Increase in Total Revolving Credit 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 §2.11, the Borrower shall have the option at any time and from time to time before the date that is one (1) year prior to the Revolving Credit Maturity Date to request an increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment 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 and increments of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof, and the Total Revolving Credit Commitment shall not exceed $300,000,000.00. Upon receipt of any Increase Notice, the Agent shall consult with the Arranger and shall notify the Borrower of the amount of the facility fees to be paid to any Lenders who provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment, in connection with such increase in the Revolving
45
Credit Commitment, pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Fees. If the Borrower agrees to pay the facility fees so determined, the Agent shall send a notice to all Revolving Credit Lenders (the Additional Commitment Request Notice) informing them of the Borrowers request to increase the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, and of the facility fees to be paid with respect thereto. Each Revolving Credit Lender, who desires to provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment, upon such terms shall provide Agent with a written commitment letter specifying the amount of the additional Revolving Credit Commitment, 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 Revolving Credit Lenders, who provide such commitment letters on such basis as the Agent and the Arranger, shall determine in their sole discretion. If the additional Revolving Credit Commitments, so provided are not sufficient to provide the full amount of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, that is requested by the Borrower, then the Agent, Arranger, or the Borrower may, but shall not be obligated to, invite one or more banks or lending institutions (which banks or lending institutions shall be acceptable to Agent, Arranger, and the Borrower) to become a Revolving Credit Lender, and provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment. The Agent shall provide all Revolving Credit Lenders, with a notice setting forth the amount, if any, of the additional Revolving Credit Commitment, to be provided by each Revolving Credit Lender, and the revised Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages, as applicable, which shall be applicable after the effective date of the Revolving Credit Commitment Increase, specified therein (the Commitment Increase Date). In no event shall any Lender be obligated to provide an additional Revolving Credit Commitment.
(b) On any Commitment Increase Date the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loans, shall be reallocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders, such that after the applicable Commitment Increase Date the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans, owed to each Revolving Credit Lender, shall be equal to such Lenders Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage (as in effect after the applicable Commitment Increase Date) of the outstanding principal amount of all Revolving Credit Loans. The participation interests of the Revolving Credit Lenders in Swing Loans and Letters of Credit shall be similarly adjusted. On any Commitment Increase Date, those Revolving Credit Lenders whose Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage is increasing shall advance the funds to the Agent and the funds so advanced shall be distributed among the Revolving Credit Lenders, whose Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage, is decreasing as necessary to accomplish the required reallocation of the outstanding Revolving Credit 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.
(c) Upon the effective date of each increase in the Total Revolving Credit Commitment pursuant to this §2.11 the Agent may unilaterally revise Schedule 1.1 to reflect the name and address, Revolving Credit Commitment and Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of each Lender following such increase and the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Agent new Revolving Credit Notes for each Lender whose Revolving Credit Commitment has changed so that the principal amount of such Revolving Credit Lenders Revolving Credit Note shall equal its Revolving Credit Commitment. The Agent shall deliver such replacement Revolving Credit Notes to the respective Revolving Credit Lenders in exchange for the Revolving Credit Notes replaced thereby which shall be surrendered by such Lenders. Such new
46
Revolving Credit Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit Notes. In connection therewith, 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 Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit Notes shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligation of the Agent and the Revolving Credit Lenders to increase the Total Revolving Credit Commitment, pursuant to this §2.11 shall be conditioned upon satisfaction of the following conditions precedent which must be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of any increase of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment:
(i) Payment of Activation Fee . The Borrower shall pay (A) to the Agent and the Arranger 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 Revolving Credit Lenders who are providing an additional Revolving Credit Commitment may require to increase the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment, which fees shall, when paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances. The Arranger shall pay to the Lenders acquiring the applicable Commitment Increase 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 Revolving Credit Commitment is increased, there shall exist no Default or Event of Default; and
(iii) Representations True .

(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 in its sole and absolute discretion (including, without limitation, in the case of the Borrower, 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 the cost of any mortgagees title insurance policy or any endorsement or update thereto or any updated UCC searches, all recording costs and fees, and any and all intangible taxes or other documentary or mortgage taxes, assessments or charges or any similar fees, taxes or expenses which are required to be paid in connection with such increase;
(v) Other . The Borrower shall satisfy such other conditions to such increase as Agent may require in its reasonable discretion.

48
and any and all intangible taxes or other documentary or mortgage taxes, assessments or charges or any similar fees, taxes or expenses which are required to be paid in connection with such extension.
§2.13 Defaulting Lenders .
(a) If for any reason any Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, then, in addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to the Agent or the Borrower under this Agreement or applicable law, such Defaulting Lenders right to participate in the administration of the Loans, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in respect of, to consent to or to direct any action or inaction of the Agent or to be taken into account in the calculation of the Required Lenders, Majority Lenders or all of the Lenders, shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure or refusal. If a Lender is a Defaulting Lender because it has failed to make timely payment to the Agent of any amount required to be paid to the Agent hereunder (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods), in addition to other rights and remedies which the Agent or the Borrower may have under the immediately preceding provisions or otherwise, the Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on which the payment is made at the Federal Funds Rate, (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. Any amounts received by the Agent in respect of a Defaulting Lenders Loans shall be applied as set forth in §2.13(d).
(b) Any Non-Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire all or a portion of a Defaulting Lenders Commitments. Any Lender desiring to exercise such right shall give written notice thereof to the Agent and the Borrower no sooner than two (2) Business Days and not later than five (5) Business Days after such Defaulting Lender became a Defaulting Lender. If more than one Lender exercises such right, each such Lender shall have the right to acquire an amount of such Defaulting Lenders Commitments in proportion to the Revolving Credit Commitments of the other Lenders exercising such right. If after such 5th Business Day, the Lenders have not elected to purchase all of the Revolving Credit Commitments of such Defaulting Lender, then the Borrower (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists) or the Majority Lenders may, by giving written notice thereof to the Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Revolving Credit Commitments to an eligible assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of §18.1 for the purchase price provided for below. No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an eligible assignee. Upon any such purchase or assignment, and any such demand with respect to which the conditions specified in §18.1 have been satisfied, the Defaulting Lenders interest in the Loans and its rights hereunder (but not its liability in respect thereof or under the Loan Documents or this Agreement to the extent the same relate to the period prior to the effective date of the purchase) shall terminate on the date of purchase, and the Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest to the purchaser or assignee thereof, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance
49
Agreement. The purchase price for the Commitments of a Defaulting Lender shall be equal to the amount of the principal balance of the Loans outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Defaulting Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees. Prior to payment of such purchase price to a Defaulting Lender, the Agent shall apply against such purchase price any amounts retained by the Agent pursuant to §2.13(d).
(c) During any period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, all or any part of such Defaulting Lenders obligation to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit pursuant to §2.10(g) or Swing Loans pursuant to §2.5(e) shall be reallocated among the Revolving Credit Lenders that are Non-Defaulting Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (computed without giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of such Defaulting Lender; provided that (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect only if, at the date the applicable Revolving Credit Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of Default exists, (ii) the conditions set forth in §10 and §11 are satisfied at the time of such reallocation (and, unless the Borrower shall have notified the Agent at such time, the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that such conditions are satisfied at the time), (iii) the representations and warranties in the Loan Documents shall be true and correct in all material respects on and as of the date of such reallocation with the same effect as though made on and as of such date, and (iv) the aggregate obligation of each Revolving Credit Lender that is a Non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans shall not exceed the positive difference, if any, of (A) the Revolving Credit Commitment of that Non-Defaulting Lender minus (B) the sum of (1) the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans of that Lender plus (2) such Lenders pro rata portion in accordance with its Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swing Loans. No reallocation hereunder shall constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder against a Defaulting Lender arising from that Lender having become a Defaulting Lender, including any claim of a Non-Defaulting Lender as a result of such Non-Defaulting Lenders increased exposure following such reallocation.
(d) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent for the account of such Defaulting Lender pursuant to §13), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent (other than with respect to Letter of Credit Liabilities) hereunder; second, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender (with respect to Letter of Credit Liabilities) and/or the Swing Loan Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Agent or requested by the Issuing Lender or the Swing Loan Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit or Swing Loan; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released pro rata in order to (x) satisfy obligations of such Defaulting Lender to fund Loans or participations under this Agreement and (y) be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of such Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Letter of Credit or Swing Loan;
50
sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Agent or the Lenders (including the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender) as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Agent or any Lender (including the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender) against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lenders breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against such Defaulting Lender as a result of such Defaulting Lenders breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to such Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (i) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans in respect of which such Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (ii) such Loans or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans were made at a time when the conditions set forth in §10 and §11, to the extent required by this Agreement, were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans owed to, all Non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis until such time as all Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans are held by the Lenders pro rata in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages without regard to §2.13(c), prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or funded participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans owed to, such Defaulting Lender. Any payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post cash collateral pursuant to this §2.13(d) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by such Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto, and to the extent allocated to the repayment of principal of the Loan, shall not be considered outstanding principal under this Agreement.
(e) Within five (5) Business Days of demand by the Issuing Lender or Swing Loan Lender from time to time, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent for the benefit of the Issuing Lender and the Swing Loan Lender cash collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all Fronting Exposure with respect to the Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender (after giving effect to §2.5(a), §2.10(a) and §2.13(c)) on terms satisfactory to the Issuing Lender and/or Swing Loan Lender in its good faith determination (and such cash collateral shall be in Dollars). Any such cash collateral shall be deposited in the Collateral Account as collateral (solely for the benefit of the Issuing Lender and/or the Swing Loan Lender) for the payment and performance of each Defaulting Lenders pro rata portion in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of outstanding Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swing Loans. Moneys in the Collateral Account deposited pursuant to this section shall be applied by the Agent to reimburse the Issuing Lender and/or the Swing Loan Lender immediately for each Defaulting Lenders pro rata portion in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of any funding obligation with respect to a Letter of Credit or Swing Loan which has not otherwise been reimbursed by the Borrower or such Defaulting Lender.
(f) (i) Each Revolving Credit Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive any facility unused fee pursuant to §2.3 for any period during which that Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender.
51
(ii) Each Revolving Credit Lender that is a Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive Letter of Credit fees pursuant to §2.10(e) for any period during which that Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender.
(iii) With respect to any facility unused fee or Letter of Credit fees not required to be paid to any Defaulting Lender pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) above, the Borrower shall (x) pay to each Non-Defaulting Lender that is a Revolving Credit Lender that portion of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender with respect to such Defaulting Lenders participation in Letter of Credit Liabilities or Swing Loans that has been reallocated to such Non-Defaulting Lender pursuant to §2.13(c), (y) pay to the Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender the amount of any such fee otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender to the extent allocable to the Issuing Lenders or Swing Loan Lenders Fronting Exposure to such Defaulting Lender and (z) not be required to pay any remaining amount of any such fee.
(g) If the Borrower (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists) and the Agent agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Agent will so notify the parties hereto, whereupon as of the date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any cash collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or take such other actions as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans to be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Revolving Credit Commitments (without giving effect to §2.13(c)), whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lenders having been a Defaulting Lender.
§3. | REPAYMENT OF THE LOANS. |

(a) If at any time (i) the sum of the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Swing Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities exceeds the lesser of (A) the Total Revolving Credit Commitment or (B) the Borrowing Base Availability, then the Borrower shall, within fifteen (15) calendar days of such occurrence pay the amount of such excess to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders for application to the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans as provided in §3.4, together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to §4.7, except that the amount of any Swing Loans shall be paid solely to the Swing Loan Lender.

Each partial payment under §3.2 and §3.3 shall be applied first to the principal of any Outstanding Swing Loans, then, in the absence of instruction by the Borrower, and then to the principal of Revolving Credit Loans (and with respect to each category of Loans, first to the principal of Base Rate Loans, and then to the principal of LIBOR Rate Loans).

On the date on which such conversion is being made, each Lender shall take such action as is necessary to transfer its Revolving Credit 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 converted at the end of the applicable Interest Period to a Base Rate Loan.
§4.2 Fees . The Borrower agrees to pay to KeyBank, Agent and Arranger for their own account certain fees for services rendered or to be rendered in connection with the Loans as provided pursuant to that certain Agreement Regarding Fees dated as of even date herewith between the Borrower and KeyBank (the Agreement Regarding Fees). All such fees shall be fully earned when paid and nonrefundable under any circumstances.
§4.3 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 Agents 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 set forth on Schedule 4.3 , 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 (including the Swing Loan Lender) 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.
54
(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 and any Excluded FATCA Tax), 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 (including the Swing Loan Lender) 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. If any such Lender, to the extent it may lawfully do so, fails to deliver the above forms or other documentation, then the Agent may withhold from any payments to be made to such Lender under any of the Loan Documents such amounts as are required by the Code. If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Agent or Borrower (as to Borrower, with respect to Excluded FATCA Taxes only) did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Agent and/or Borrower (as to Borrower, with respect to Excluded FATCA Taxes only) therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Agent or by the Borrower (as to Borrower, with respect to Excluded FATCA Taxes only) under this section, and costs and expenses (including all reasonable fees and disbursements of any law firm or other external counsel and the allocated cost of internal legal services and all disbursements of internal counsel) of the Agent and Borrower (as to Borrower, with respect to Excluded FATCA Taxes only). The obligation of the Lenders under this section shall survive the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, repayment of all Obligations and all the resignation or replacement of the Agent. Without limitation of §4.3(b), if a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to United States federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting and document provision requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1741(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent, at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by either, such documentation prescribed by applicable law (including as prescribed by Section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Borrower and/or the Agent as may be necessary for the Borrower and the Agent to comply with their obligations under FATCA, to determine that such Lender has or has not complied with such Lender obligations under FATCA and, as necessary, to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment. 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 (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
55
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 §4.3(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 §4.3(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.
(d) The obligations of the Borrower to the Revolving Credit Lenders under this Agreement with respect to Letters of Credit (and of the Revolving Credit Lenders to make payments to the Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit and to the Swing Loan Lender with respect to Swing Loans) 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 Revolving Credit Lenders (other than the defense of payment to the Revolving Credit 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 the 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 Lenders 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.
§4.4 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
56
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 and Letter of Credit Liabilities as reflected on the records of the Agent from time to time shall be considered prima facie evidence of such amount absent manifest error.
§4.5 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 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 so notify the Borrower and the Lenders.
§4.6 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 the Borrower hereunder.
§4.7 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, or if the Borrower fails to draw down on the first day of the applicable Interest Period any amount as to which Borrower has elected a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower will pay to the Agent upon demand for the account of the applicable Lenders in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages (or to the Swing Loan Lender with respect to a Swing Loan), in addition to any amounts of interest otherwise payable hereunder, the Breakage Costs. The 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
57
Loan; (ii) LIBOR is used merely as a reference in determining such rate; and (iii) the Borrower has accepted LIBOR as a reasonable and fair basis for calculating such rate and any Breakage Costs. The Borrower further agrees to pay the Breakage Costs, if any, whether or not a Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or match funds.
§4.8 Additional Costs, Etc . Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, 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:
(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 Lenders Revolving Credit 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 the 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 Lenders Revolving Credit Commitment, a Letter of Credit or any class of loans or commitments of which any of the Loans or such Lenders Revolving Credit 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 Lenders Revolving Credit 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 Lenders Revolving Credit 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,
58
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.
§4.9 Capital Adequacy . If after the date hereof any Lender determines 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 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 Lenders or such holding companys capital as a consequence of such Lenders 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 Lenders or such holding companys then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entitys 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, upon presentation by such Lender of a statement of the amount setting forth the Lenders calculation thereof. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender. For purposes of §4.8 and §4.9, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and all requests, rules, publications, orders, guidelines and directives thereunder or issued in connection therewith and all requests, rules, guidelines or directives promulgated by the Bank for International Settlements, the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision (or any successor or similar authority) or the United States or foreign regulatory authorities, in each case pursuant to Basel III, shall be deemed to have been adopted and gone into effect after the date hereof regardless of when adopted, enacted or issued.
§4.10 Breakage Costs . The 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.
§4.11 Default Interest; Late Charge . 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 the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin plus five percent (5.0%) (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 five percent (5.0%) 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. In addition, the Borrower shall pay a late charge equal to four percent (4.0%) of any amount of interest and/or principal payable on the Loans or any other
59
amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, which is not paid by the Borrower within ten (10) days of the date when due (or, in the case of amounts due at the Revolving Credit Maturity Date, within fifteen (15) Business Days of such date).
§4.12 Certificate . A certificate setting forth any amounts payable pursuant to §4.7, §4.8, §4.9, §4.10 or §4.11 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, and shall be promptly provided to the Borrower upon their written request.
§4.13 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 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.
§4.14 Certain Provisions Relating to Increased Costs . If a Lender gives notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.8 or any Lender requests compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §4.3(b) (as a result of the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes on amounts paid to such Lender under this Agreement), §4.8 or §4.9, then, upon request of the Borrower, such Lender, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts in a manner consistent with such institutions practice in connection with loans like the Loan of such Lender to eliminate, mitigate or reduce amounts that would otherwise be payable by the 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 Lenders 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 §4.8 or has requested payment or compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §4.3(b) (as a result of the imposition of U.S. withholding taxes on amounts paid to such Lender under this Agreement), §4.8 or §4.9 and following the request of the Borrower has been unable to take the steps described above to mitigate such amounts (each, an Affected Lender), then, within thirty (30) days
60
after such notice or request for payment or compensation, the 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 Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit Commitment, pro rata based upon their relevant Revolving Credit 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 Lenders Revolving Credit Commitment, then the Agent shall endeavor to obtain a new Lender to acquire such remaining Revolving Credit Commitment. Upon any such purchase of the Revolving Credit Commitment of the Affected Lender, the Affected Lenders 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 Lenders Revolving Credit Commitment shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by the Borrower to the Affected Lender including principal, prepayment premium or fee, and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees.
§5. | COLLATERAL SECURITY; GUARANTORS. |
§5.1 Collateral . The Obligations shall be secured by a perfected first priority lien and security interest to be held by the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders on the Collateral, pursuant to the terms of the Security Documents.
§5.2 Appraisals; Adjusted Value .
(a) At Agents request or, at the request of the Required Lenders, option to be exercised not more frequently than annually, the Agent may on behalf of the Lenders obtain current Appraisals of each of the Mortgaged Properties.

If any other Event of Default shall have occurred, the Agent may, and upon the election of the Majority Lenders, shall by notice to the Borrower terminate the obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans to and issue Letters of Credit for the Borrower. No termination under this §12.3 shall relieve the Borrower or the Guarantors of their 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
112

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 the 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 the Borrower upon demand and shall constitute a part of the Obligations and shall if not paid within five (5) days after demand bear interest at the rate for overdue amounts as set forth in this Agreement.

(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 or 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 and Hedge Obligations (including any interest, expenses or other obligations incurred after the commencement of a bankruptcy) in such order or preference as the Majority Lenders shall determine; provided , that (i) Swing Loans shall be repaid first, (ii) distributions in respect of such other Obligations shall include, on a pari passu basis, any Agents fee payable pursuant to §4.2; (iii) in the event that any Lender is a Defaulting
113
Lender, payments to such Lender shall be governed by §2.13, and (iv) except as otherwise provided in clause (iii), Obligations owing to the Lenders with respect to each type of Obligation such as interest, principal, fees and expenses and Hedge Obligations (but excluding the Swing Loans) shall be made among the Lenders and Lender Hedge Providers, pro rata; and provided , further that the Majority 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.
§12.6 Collateral Account .
(a) As collateral security for the prompt payment in full when due of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, Swing Loans and the other Obligations and Hedge Obligations, the Borrower hereby pledges and grants to the Agent, for the ratable benefit of the Agent and the Lenders as provided herein, a security interest in all of its right, title and interest in and to the Collateral Account and the balances from time to time in the Collateral Account (including the investments and reinvestments therein provided for below). The balances from time to time in the Collateral Account shall not constitute payment of any Letter of Credit Liabilities or Swing Loans until applied by the Agent as provided herein. Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, funds held in the Collateral Account shall be subject to withdrawal only as provided in this section.
(b) Amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account shall be invested and reinvested by the Agent in such Cash Equivalents as the Agent shall determine in its sole discretion. All such investments and reinvestments shall be held in the name of and be under the sole dominion and control of the Agent for the ratable benefit of the Lenders. The Agent shall exercise reasonable care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Agent accords other funds deposited with the Agent, it being understood that the Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any funds held in the Collateral Account.
(c) If a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower and the Lenders authorize the Agent to use the monies deposited in the Collateral Account to make payment to the beneficiary with respect to such drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment. If a Swing Loan is not refinanced as a Base Rate Loan as provided in §2.5 above, then the Agent is authorized to use monies deposited in the Collateral Account to make payment to the Swing Loan Lender with respect to any participation not funded by a Defaulting Lender.
(d) If an Event of Default exists, the Majority Lenders may, in their discretion, at any time and from time to time, instruct the Agent to liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and apply proceeds thereof to the Obligations and Hedge Obligations in accordance with §12.5.
114
(e) So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent amounts on deposit in the Collateral Account exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then due and owing and the pro rata share of any Letter of Credit Obligations and Swing Loans of any Defaulting Lender after giving effect to §2.13(c), the Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower within 10 Business Days after the Agents receipt of such request from the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such of the balances in the Collateral Account as exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities and Swing Loans at such time.
(f) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent from time to time such fees as the Agent normally charges for similar services in connection with the Agents administration of the Collateral Account and investments and reinvestments of funds therein. The Borrower authorizes Agent to file such financing statements as Agent may reasonably require in order to perfect Agents security interest in the Collateral Account, and Borrower shall promptly upon demand execute and deliver to Agent such other documents as Agent may reasonably request to evidence its security interest in the Collateral Account.
§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 the Borrower or any Guarantor (any such notice being expressly waived by the Borrower and each Guarantor) 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 under the Loan Documents. Each of the Lenders agree 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 (but excluding the Swing Loan Note) any amount in excess of its ratable portion of the payments 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. In the event that any Defaulting Lender shall exercise any such right of setoff, (a) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and, pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed held in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, and (b) the Defaulting Lender shall provide promptly to the Agent a statement describing in reasonable detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of setoff.

§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.

§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 Agents receipt of good funds, determined in accordance with the Agents customary practices, such Lenders 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.

(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 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. In the event that the Agent shall refrain from making any distribution of any amount received by it as provided in this §14.5(b), the Agent shall endeavor to hold such amounts in an interest bearing account and at such time as such amounts may be distributed to the Lenders, the Agent shall distribute to each Lender, based on their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages, its pro rata share of the interest or other earnings from such deposited amount.
117
§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.

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 Agents actions taken hereunder or thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agents 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 Revolving Credit 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 Agents option also constitute Agents resignation as Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender. Upon any such resignation, the Majority Lenders, subject to the terms of §18.1, shall have the right to appoint as a successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or any bank whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than A3 or its equivalent by Moodys 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 and Swing Loan Lender, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within ten (10) days after the retiring Agents 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 financial institution whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than A3 or its equivalent by Moodys 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.

After any retiring Agents 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, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender. If the resigning Agent shall also resign
118
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.
§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 Majority Lenders and (b) the Lenders have provided to the Agent such additional indemnities and assurances in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit 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 Majority 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 Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages from all liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agents willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods, provided that the Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Agent reasonably believes the Agents compliance with such direction to be unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction or commercially unreasonable under the UCC as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction. Prior to any foreclosure upon any Mortgaged Property, the Majority Lenders shall use good faith efforts to approve and document a plan for the management and disposition of such Mortgaged Property.
§14.11 Bankruptcy . In the event a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is commenced by or against the 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 Majority 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.
119
§14.12 Request for Agent Action .

§14.13 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.
§14.14 Approvals . If consent is required for some action under this Agreement, or except as otherwise provided herein an approval of the Lenders, the Majority Lenders or Required Lenders is required or permitted under this Agreement, each Lender agrees to give the Agent, within ten (10) Business Days of receipt of the request for action from Agent (accompanied by an explanation for the request) 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 Lenders 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
120
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.

UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE
FOR AND IN CONSIDERATION OF the sum of Ten and No/100 Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration paid or delivered to the undersigned CARTER VALIDUS MISSION CRITICAL REIT II, INC. , a Maryland corporation (REIT), and THE ENTITIES LISTED ON THE SIGNATURE PAGES HEREOF AS SUBSIDIARY GUARANTORS (Initial Guarantors) and EACH ADDITIONAL GUARANTOR (AS DEFINED IN THE CREDIT AGREEMENT [HEREINAFTER DEFINED]) THAT MAY HEREAFTER BECOME A PARTY TO THE THIS GUARANTY (REIT, Initial Guarantors and such Additional Guarantors are sometimes hereinafter referred to individually as a Guarantor and collectively as Guarantors), the receipt and sufficiency whereof are hereby acknowledged by Guarantors, and for the purpose of seeking to induce KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION , a national banking association (hereinafter referred to as Lender, which term shall also include each other Lender which may now be or hereafter become a party to the Credit Agreement (as hereinafter defined), any Lender acting as the Issuing Lender under the Credit Agreement, and shall also include any such individual Lender acting as agent for all of the Lenders), to extend credit or otherwise provide financial accommodations to CARTER VALIDUS OPERATING PARTNERSHIP II, LP , a Delaware limited partnership (Borrower) under the Credit Agreement, which extension of credit and provision of financial accommodations will be to the direct interest, advantage and benefit of Guarantors, Guarantors do hereby, jointly and severally, absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantee to Lender the complete payment and performance of the following liabilities, obligations and indebtedness of Borrower to Lender (hereinafter referred to collectively as the Obligations) (capitalized terms that are used herein that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement):
(a) the full and prompt payment when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, either before or after maturity thereof, of the Revolving Credit Notes made by Borrower to the order of the Revolving Credit Lenders in the aggregate principal face amount of up to Thirty-Five Million and No/100 Dollars ($35,000,000.00), and of the Swing Loan Note, made by the Borrower to the order of KeyBank National Association in the principal face amount of Ten Million and No/100 Dollars $10,000,000.00, together with interest as provided in the Revolving Credit Notes and the Swing Loan Note and together with any replacements, supplements, renewals, modifications, consolidations, restatements, increases and extensions thereof; and
(b) the full and prompt payment when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, either before or after maturity thereof, of each other note as may be issued under that certain Credit Agreement dated as of even date herewith (hereinafter referred to as the Credit Agreement) among Borrower, KeyBank, for itself and as agent, and the other lenders now or hereafter a party thereto, together with interest as provided in each such note, together with any replacements, supplements, renewals, modifications, consolidations, restatements, increases, and extensions thereof (the Revolving Credit Notes, the Swing Loan Note and each of the notes described in this subparagraph (b) are hereinafter referred to collectively as the Note); and
(c) the full and prompt payment and performance of any and all obligations of Borrower to Lender under the terms of the Credit Agreement, together with any replacements, supplements, renewals, modifications, consolidations, restatements, and extensions thereof; and
(d) the full and prompt payment and performance of any Hedge Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement); and
(e) the full and prompt payment and performance when due of any and all obligations of Borrower and any Guarantor to Lender under the Security Documents, together with any replacements, supplements, renewals, modifications, consolidations, restatements and extensions thereof; and
(f) the full and prompt payment and performance when due of any and all obligations of Borrower to Issuing Lender under the terms of the Credit Agreement, together with any replacements, supplements, renewals, modifications, consolidations, restatements and extensions thereof; and
(g) the full and prompt payment and performance of any and all other obligations of Borrower to Lender under any other agreements, documents or instruments now or hereafter evidencing, securing or otherwise relating to the indebtedness evidenced by the Note or the Credit Agreement (the Note, the Credit Agreement, the Security Documents and said other agreements, documents and instruments are hereinafter collectively referred to as the Loan Documents and individually referred to as a Loan Document). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantors acknowledge the terms of Section 2.11 of the Credit Agreement pursuant to which the Total Revolving Credit Commitment under the Credit Agreement may be increased to up to $300,000,000.00 and agree that this Unconditional Guaranty of Payment and Performance (this Guaranty) shall extend and be applicable to each new or replacement note delivered by the Borrower in connection with any such increase of the Total Revolving Credit Commitment and all other obligations of Borrower under the Loan Documents as a result of such increase without notice to or consent from Guarantors, or any of them.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Guaranty, under no circumstances shall the Obligations (as defined herein) include any obligation that constitutes an Excluded Hedge Obligation of any Guarantor.
1. Agreement to Pay and Perform; Costs of Collection . Guarantors do hereby agree that following and during the continuance of an Event of Default under the Loan Documents if the Note is not paid by Borrower in accordance with its terms, or if any and all sums which are now or may hereafter become due from Borrower to Lender under the Loan Documents are not paid by Borrower in accordance with their terms, or if any and all other obligations of Borrower to Lender under the Note or of Borrower or any Guarantor under the other Loan Documents are not performed by such Borrower or Guarantor, as applicable, in accordance with their terms, Guarantors will immediately upon demand make such payments and perform such obligations. Guarantors further agree to pay Lender on demand all reasonable costs and expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements) paid or incurred by Lender in endeavoring to collect the Obligations guaranteed hereby, to enforce any of the Obligations of
2
Borrower guaranteed hereby, or any portion thereof, or to enforce this Guaranty, and until paid to Lender, such sums shall bear interest at the Default Rate set forth in Section 4.11 of the Credit Agreement unless collection from Guarantors of interest at such rate would be contrary to applicable law, in which event such sums shall bear interest at the highest rate which may be collected from Guarantors under applicable law.
2. Reinstatement of Refunded Payments . If, for any reason, any payment to Lender of any of the Obligations guaranteed hereunder is required to be refunded, rescinded or returned by Lender to Borrower, or paid or turned over to any other Person, including, without limitation, by reason of the operation of bankruptcy, reorganization, receivership or insolvency laws or similar laws of general application relating to creditors rights and remedies now or hereafter enacted, Guarantors agree to pay to the Lender on demand an amount equal to the amount so required to be refunded, paid or turned over (the Turnover Payment), the obligations of Guarantors shall not be treated as having been discharged by the original payment to Lender giving rise to the Turnover Payment, and this Guaranty shall be treated as having remained in full force and effect for any such Turnover Payment so made by Lender, as well as for any amounts not theretofore paid to Lender on account of such obligations.
3. Rights of Lender to Deal with Collateral, Borrower and Other Persons . Each Guarantor hereby consents and agrees that Lender may at any time, and from time to time, without thereby releasing any Guarantor from any liability hereunder and without notice to or further consent from any other Guarantor or any other Person or entity, either with or without consideration: release or surrender any lien or other security of any kind or nature whatsoever held by it or by any Person, firm or corporation on its behalf or for its account, securing any indebtedness or liability hereby guaranteed; substitute for any collateral so held by it, other collateral of like kind, or of any kind; modify the terms of the Note or the other Loan Documents; extend or renew the Note for any period; grant releases, compromises and indulgences with respect to the Note or the other Loan Documents and to any Persons or entities now or hereafter liable thereunder or hereunder; release any other guarantor (including any Guarantor), surety, endorser or accommodation party of the Note, the Security Documents or any other Loan Documents; or take or fail to take any action of any type whatsoever. No such action which Lender shall take or fail to take in connection with the Note or the other Loan Documents, or any of them, or any security for the payment of the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender or for the performance of any obligations or undertakings of Borrower or any Guarantor, nor any course of dealing with Borrower or any other Person, shall release any Guarantors obligations hereunder, affect this Guaranty in any way or afford any Guarantor any recourse against Lender. The provisions of this Guaranty shall extend and be applicable to all replacements, supplements, renewals, amendments, extensions, consolidations, restatements and modifications of the Note and the other Loan Documents, and any and all references herein to the Note and the other Loan Documents shall be deemed to include any such replacements, supplements, renewals, extensions, amendments, consolidations, restatements or modifications thereof. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Guarantors acknowledge the terms of Section 2.11 and Section 18.3 of the Credit Agreement and agree that this Guaranty shall extend and be applicable to each new or replacement note delivered by Borrower pursuant thereto without notice to or further consent from Guarantors, or any of them.
3
4. No Contest with Lender; Subordination . So long as any of the Obligations hereby guaranteed remain unpaid or undischarged or any Lender has any obligation to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit, Guarantors will not, by paying any sum recoverable hereunder (whether or not demanded by Lender) or by any means or on any other ground, claim any set-off or counterclaim against Borrower in respect of any liability of any Guarantor to Borrower or, in proceedings under federal bankruptcy law or insolvency proceedings of any nature, prove in competition with Lender in respect of any payment hereunder or be entitled to have the benefit of any counterclaim or proof of claim or dividend or payment by or on behalf of Borrower or the benefit of any other security for any of the Obligations hereby guaranteed which, now or hereafter, Lender may hold or in which it may have any share. Guarantors hereby expressly waive any right of contribution or reimbursement from or indemnity against Borrower or any other Guarantor, whether at law or in equity, arising from any payments made by any Guarantor pursuant to the terms of this Guaranty, and Guarantors acknowledge that Guarantors have no right whatsoever to proceed against Borrower or any other Guarantor for reimbursement of any such payments except for those rights of each Guarantor under the Contribution Agreement; provided, however, each Guarantor agrees not to pursue or enforce any of its rights under the Contribution Agreement or otherwise and each Guarantor agrees not to make or receive any payment on account of such rights under the Contribution Agreement or otherwise so long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid or undischarged or any Lender has any obligation to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit. In the event any Guarantor shall receive any payment under or on account of such rights whether under the Contribution Agreement or otherwise while any of the Obligations are outstanding, it shall hold such payment as trustee for Lender and be paid over to Lender on account of the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantors under the other provisions of this Guaranty except to the extent the principal amount or other portion of such indebtedness shall have been reduced by such payment. In connection with the foregoing, Guarantors expressly waive any and all rights of subrogation to Lender against Borrower or any other Guarantor, and Guarantors hereby waive any rights to enforce any remedy which Lender may have against Borrower or any other Guarantor and any rights to participate in any collateral for Borrowers obligations under the Loan Documents. Guarantors hereby subordinate any and all indebtedness of Borrower now or hereafter owed to any Guarantor to all indebtedness of Borrower or any other Guarantor to Lender, and agree with Lender that (a) Guarantors shall not demand or accept any payment from Borrower or any other Guarantor on account of such indebtedness, (b) Guarantors shall not claim any offset or other reduction of Guarantors obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness, and (c) Guarantors shall not take any action to obtain any interest in any of the security described in and encumbered by the Loan Documents because of any such indebtedness; provided, however, that, if Lender so requests, such indebtedness shall be collected, enforced and received by Guarantors as trustee for Lender and be paid over to Lender on account of the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender, but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantors under the other provisions of this Guaranty except to the extent the principal amount or other portion of such outstanding indebtedness shall have been reduced by such payment.
4
5. Waiver of Defenses . Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by, and hereby waive and agree not to assert or take advantage of any defense based on:
(a) (i) any change in the amount, interest rate or due date or other term of any of the obligations hereby guaranteed, (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of all or any portion of the obligations hereby guaranteed, (iii) any amendment or waiver of, or consent to the departure from or other indulgence with respect to, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other document or instrument evidencing or relating to any obligations hereby guaranteed, or (iv) any waiver, renewal, extension, addition, or supplement to, or deletion from, or any other action or inaction under or in respect of, the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the obligations hereby guaranteed or any other instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any obligations hereby guaranteed or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;
(b) any subordination of the payment of the obligations hereby guaranteed to the payment of any other liability of Borrower or any other Person;
(c) any act or failure to act by Borrower or any other Person which may adversely affect any Guarantors subrogation rights, if any, against Borrower or any other Person to recover payments made under this Guaranty;
(d) any nonperfection or impairment of any security interest or other Lien on any collateral, if any, securing in any way any of the obligations hereby guaranteed;
(e) any application of sums paid by Borrower or any other Person with respect to the liabilities of Lender, regardless of what liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid;
(f) any defense of Borrower, including without limitation, the invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any of the Obligations;
(g) either with or without notice to Guarantors, any renewal, extension, modification, amendment or other changes in the Obligations, including but not limited to any material alteration of the terms of payment or performance of the Obligations;
(h) any statute of limitations in any action hereunder or for the collection of the Note or for the payment or performance of any obligation hereby guaranteed;
(i) the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person or entity, or the failure of Lender to file or enforce a claim against the estate (either in administration, bankruptcy or in any other proceeding) of Borrower or any Guarantor or any other Person or entity;
(j) the dissolution or termination of existence of Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person or entity;
(k) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Borrower or any Guarantor or any other Person or entity;
(l) the voluntary or involuntary receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, assignment, composition, or readjustment of, or any similar proceeding affecting, Borrower or any Guarantor or any other Person or entity, or any of Borrowers or any Guarantors or any other Persons or entitys properties or assets;
5
(m) the damage, destruction, condemnation, foreclosure or surrender of all or any part of the Collateral, the Real Estate or any of the improvements located thereon;
(n) the failure of Lender to give notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation of Borrower or of any action or nonaction on the part of any other Person whomsoever in connection with any obligation hereby guaranteed;
(o) any failure or delay of Lender to commence an action against Borrower or any other Person, to assert or enforce any remedies against Borrower under the Note or the other Loan Documents, or to realize upon any security;
(p) any failure of any duty on the part of Lender to disclose to any Guarantor any facts it may now or hereafter know regarding Borrower (including, without limitation Borrowers financial condition), any other Person, the Collateral, or any other assets or liabilities of such Persons, whether such facts materially increase the risk to Guarantors or not (it being agreed that Guarantors assume responsibility for being informed with respect to such information);
(q) failure to accept or give notice of acceptance of this Guaranty by Lender;
(r) failure to make or give notice of presentment and demand for payment of any of the indebtedness or performance of any of the obligations hereby guaranteed;
(s) failure to make or give protest and notice of dishonor or of default to Guarantors or to any other party with respect to the indebtedness or performance of obligations hereby guaranteed;
(t) any and all other notices whatsoever to which Guarantors might otherwise be entitled;
(u) any lack of diligence by Lender in collection, protection or realization upon any collateral securing the payment of the indebtedness or performance of obligations hereby guaranteed;
(v) the invalidity or unenforceability of the Note, or any of the other Loan Documents, or any assignment or transfer of the foregoing;
(w) the compromise, settlement, release or termination of any or all of the obligations of Borrower under the Note or the other Loan Documents;
(x) any transfer by Borrower or any other Person of all or any part of the security encumbered by the Loan Documents;
(y) the failure of Lender to perfect any security or to extend or renew the perfection of any security; or
(z) to the fullest extent permitted by law, any other legal, equitable or surety defenses whatsoever to which Guarantors might otherwise be entitled, it being the intention that the obligations of Guarantors hereunder are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable.
6
Each Guarantor understands that the exercise by Lender of certain rights and remedies may affect or eliminate such Guarantors right of subrogation against the Borrower or the other Guarantors and that such Guarantor may therefore incur partially or totally nonreimbursable liability hereunder. Nevertheless, Guarantors hereby authorize and empower Lender, its successors, endorsees and assigns, to exercise in its or their sole discretion, any rights and remedies, or any combination thereof, which may then be available, it being the purpose and intent of Guarantors that the obligations hereunder shall be absolute, continuing, independent and unconditional under any and all circumstances. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty to the contrary, each Guarantor hereby waives and releases any claim or other rights which such Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against Borrower, or any other Guarantor or other Person of all or any of the obligations of Guarantors hereunder that arise from the existence or performance of such Guarantors obligations under this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Lender against Borrower or any other Guarantor or other Person or any collateral which Lender now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from Borrower or any other Guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by setoff or in any other manner, payment or security on account of such claim or other rights, except for those rights of each Guarantor under the Contribution Agreement; provided, however, each Guarantor agrees not to pursue or enforce any of its rights under the Contribution Agreement and each Guarantor agrees not to make or receive any payment on account of the Contribution Agreement so long as any of the Obligations remain unpaid or undischarged or any Lender has any obligation to make Loans. In the event any Guarantor shall receive any payment under or on account of the Contribution Agreement, it shall hold such payment as trustee for Lender and be paid over to Lender on account of the indebtedness of Borrower to Lender but without reducing or affecting in any manner the liability of Guarantors under the other provisions of this Guaranty except to the extent the principal amount or other portion of such indebtedness shall have been reduced by such payment.
6. Guaranty of Payment and Performance and Not of Collection . This is a Guaranty of payment and performance and not of collection. The liability of Guarantors under this Guaranty shall be primary, direct and immediate and not conditional or contingent upon the pursuit of any remedies against Borrower or any other Person, nor against securities or liens available to Lender, its successors, successors in title, endorsees or assigns. Guarantors hereby waive any right to require that an action be brought against Borrower or any other Person or to require that resort be had to any security or to any balance of any deposit account or credit on the books of Lender in favor of Borrower or any other Person.
7. Rights and Remedies of Lender . In the event of an Event of Default under the Note or the other Loan Documents, or any of them, that is continuing (it being understood that the Lender has no obligation to accept cure after an Event of Default occurs), Lender shall have the right to enforce its rights, powers and remedies thereunder or hereunder or under any other
7
Loan Document, in any order, and all rights, powers and remedies available to Lender in such event shall be nonexclusive and cumulative of all other rights, powers and remedies provided thereunder or hereunder or by law or in equity. Accordingly, Guarantors hereby authorize and empower Lender upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under the Note or the other Loan Documents, at its sole discretion, and without notice to Guarantors, to exercise any right or remedy which Lender may have, including, but not limited to, foreclosure, exercise of rights of power of sale, acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, appointment of a receiver, exercise of remedies against personal property, or enforcement of any assignment of leases, as to any security, whether real, personal or intangible. At any public or private sale of any security or collateral for any of the Obligations guaranteed hereby, whether by foreclosure or otherwise, Lender may, in its discretion, purchase all or any part of such security or collateral so sold or offered for sale for its own account and may apply against the amount bid therefor all or any part of the balance due it pursuant to the terms of the Note or Security Documents or any other Loan Document without prejudice to Lenders remedies hereunder against Guarantors for deficiencies. If the Obligations guaranteed hereby are partially paid by reason of the election of Lender to pursue any of the remedies available to Lender, or if such Obligations are otherwise partially paid, this Guaranty shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect, and Guarantors shall remain liable for the entire balance of the Obligations guaranteed hereby even though any rights which any Guarantor may have against Borrower or any other Person may be destroyed or diminished by the exercise of any such remedy.
8. Application of Payments . Guarantors hereby authorize Lender, without notice to Guarantors, to apply all payments and credits received from Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Person or realized from any security in such manner and in such priority as Lender in its sole judgment shall see fit to the Obligations.
9. Business Failure, Bankruptcy or Insolvency . In the event of the business failure of any Guarantor or if there shall be pending any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding with respect to any Guarantor under federal bankruptcy law or any other applicable law or in connection with the insolvency of any Guarantor, or if a liquidator, receiver, or trustee shall have been appointed for any Guarantor or any Guarantors properties or assets, Lender may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Lender allowed in any proceedings relative to such Guarantor, or any of such Guarantors properties or assets, and, irrespective of whether the indebtedness or other obligations of Borrower guaranteed hereby shall then be due and payable, by declaration or otherwise, Lender shall be entitled and empowered to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of any sums or sums owing with respect to the indebtedness or other obligations of Borrower guaranteed hereby, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim. Guarantors covenant and agree that upon the commencement of a voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding by or against Borrower, Guarantors shall not seek a supplemental stay or otherwise pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §105 or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law, or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, which may be or become applicable, to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Lender to enforce any rights of Lender against Guarantors by virtue of this Guaranty or otherwise.
8
10. Covenants of Guarantors .

5. Separate Obligations .
(a) The certifications, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Borrower and Guarantors set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the indemnity provided for in Paragraph 2 above) are separate and distinct obligations from Borrowers and Guarantors obligations under the Loan Documents; and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any Loan Document, and even though the certifications, representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Borrower and Guarantors contained herein may be identical or substantially similar to certifications, representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Borrower and Guarantors set forth in the Loan Documents and secured thereby, the obligations of Borrower and Guarantors under this Agreement are not
5
secured by the lien of the Mortgages or the security interests or other collateral described in the Mortgages or the other Loan Documents, it being the intent of Borrower and Guarantors to create separate obligations of Borrower and Guarantors hereunder which can be enforced against such Persons without regard to the existence of the Mortgages or other Loan Documents or the liens or security interests created therein.

(c) Borrower and each Guarantor hereby specifically agrees that the fact that this Agreement is included in the definition of Loan Documents, and that, accordingly, a misrepresentation or default hereunder shall constitute a default under the Mortgages and other Loan Documents, shall not be construed to imply that any statement or agreement set forth above in this Paragraph 5 is inaccurate or untrue in any respect whatsoever.
(d) Borrower and each Guarantor hereby specifically agrees never to make any allegation contrary to the forgoing provisions of this Paragraph 5 and expressly waives and renounces any and all claims, defenses and other rights which are dependent upon an allegation or proposition contrary to the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 5; and Borrower and each Guarantor hereby expressly waives and renounces the benefit of any statute or rule of law or equity now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 5 or in conflict with or in derogation of the indemnity set forth in Paragraph 2 above.
6. Waiver by Borrower and Guarantors . BORROWER AND EACH GUARANTOR WAIVES ANY RIGHT OR CLAIM OF RIGHT TO CAUSE A MARSHALLING OF BORROWERS OR ANY GUARANTORS ASSETS OR TO CAUSE LENDERS OR AGENT TO PROCEED AGAINST ANY OF THE SECURITY FOR THE LOAN BEFORE PROCEEDING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AGAINST BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR OR TO PROCEED AGAINST BORROWER OR GUARANTORS, OR ANY OF THEM, IN ANY PARTICULAR ORDER. BORROWER AND EACH GUARANTOR AGREES THAT ANY PAYMENTS REQUIRED TO BE MADE HEREUNDER SHALL BECOME DUE ON DEMAND.

7. Delay . No delay on Lenders or Agents part in exercising any right, power or privilege under any of the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver of any privilege, power or right hereunder.
8. Releases . Any one or more of Borrower or Guarantors or any other party liable upon or in respect of this Agreement or the Loan may be released without affecting the liability of any party not so released.
9. Counterparts . This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original. Said counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument and shall be binding upon each of the undersigned individually as fully and completely as if all had signed but one instrument so that the joint and several liability of each of the undersigned hereunder shall be unaffected by the failure of any of the undersigned to execute any or all of the said counterparts.
10. Notices . Each notice, demand, election or request provided for or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be given in the manner provided in the Credit Agreement if given to Borrower or Agent or as provided in the Guaranty if given to any Guarantor.

Grantor hereby further covenants and agrees with Trustee and Agent as follows:
ARTICLE 1
1.01 Payment of Secured Obligations . Grantor will pay and perform or cause to be paid and performed the Secured Obligations according to the tenor thereof and all other sums now or hereafter secured hereby as the same shall become due.
1.02 Funds for Impositions . After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Grantor shall pay to Agent, subject to Agents option under Section 1.03 hereof, on the days that monthly installments of interest are payable under the Note, until the
5
Note is paid in full, a sum (hereinafter referred to as the Funds ) reasonably estimated by Agent to provide an amount necessary for payment of the following items in full fifteen (15) days prior to when such items become due (hereinafter collectively referred to as the Impositions ): (a) the yearly real estate taxes, ad valorem taxes, personal property taxes, assessments and betterments, and (b) the yearly premium installments for the insurance covering the Property and required by the Credit Agreement. The Impositions shall be reasonably estimated initially and from time to time by Agent on the basis of assessments and bills and estimates thereof. The Funds shall be held by Agent in a separate interest bearing account free of any liens or claims on the part of other creditors of Grantor and as part of the security for the Secured Obligations. Grantor shall pay all Impositions prior to delinquency as required by Section 1.03 hereof. In the event Agent elects to reserve Funds as permitted under this Section 1.02, within ten (10) days after Grantor furnishes Agent with reasonably satisfactory evidence that Grantor has paid one or more of the items comprising the Impositions, Agent shall reimburse Grantor (or the one paying the Impositions) therefor to the extent of the Funds (plus accrued interest) then held by Agent. Alternatively, Agent shall apply the Funds to pay the Impositions with respect to which the Funds were paid to the extent of the Funds then held by Agent and provided Grantor has delivered to Agent the assessments or bills therefor. Grantor shall be permitted to pay any Imposition early in order to take advantage of any available discounts. Agent shall make no charge for so holding and applying the Funds or for verifying and compiling said assessments and bills. The Funds are pledged as additional security for the Secured Obligations, and may be applied, at Agents option and without notice to Grantor, to the payment of the Secured Obligations upon the occurrence of any Event of Default. If at any time the amount of the Funds held by Agent shall be less than the amount reasonably deemed necessary by Agent to pay Impositions as such become due, Grantor shall pay to Agent any amount necessary to make up the deficiency within fifteen (15) business days after notice from Agent to Grantor requesting payment thereof. Upon payment and performance in full of the Secured Obligations and termination of the obligation of the Lenders to make Loans and of Issuing Lender to issue Letters of Credit, Agent shall promptly refund to Grantor any Funds then held by Agent.
1.03 Impositions, Liens and Charges . Grantor shall pay all Impositions and other charges, if any, attributable to the Property prior to delinquency, and at Agents option during the continuance of an Event of Default, Grantor shall pay in the manner hereafter provided under this Section 1.03. Grantor shall, during continuance of an Event of Default, furnish to Agent all bills and notices of amounts due under Section 1.03 as soon as received, and in the event Grantor shall make payment directly, Grantor shall, as and when available, furnish to Agent receipts evidencing such payments prior to the dates on which such payments are delinquent, subject to Grantors right to contest taxes, assessments and other governmental charges as provided in the Credit Agreement. Grantor shall promptly discharge (by bonding, payment or otherwise) any lien filed against the Property or Grantor (including federal tax liens) and will keep and maintain the Property free from the claims of all persons supplying labor or materials to the Property, subject to Grantors right to contest the same as provided in the Credit Agreement. Grantor shall not claim or be entitled to any credit against the taxable value of the Property by reason of this Instrument, or any deduction in or credit on the Secured Obligations by reason of Impositions paid.
6
1.04 Taxes, Liens and Other Charges .
(a) In the event of the passage of any state, federal, municipal or other governmental law, order, rule or regulation, subsequent to the date hereof, in any manner changing or modifying the laws now in force governing the taxation of debts secured by deeds of trust or the manner of collecting taxes so as to adversely affect Agent or the Lenders, Grantor will promptly pay any such tax. If Grantor fails to make such payment promptly, or if, in the opinion of Agent, any such state, federal, municipal, or other governmental law, order, rule or regulation prohibits Grantor from making such payment or would penalize Agent or the Lenders if Grantor makes such payment or if, in the opinion of Agent, the making of such payment could reasonably result in the imposition of interest beyond the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, then the entire balance of the principal sums secured by this Instrument and all interest accrued thereon shall, at the option of Agent, become immediately due and payable.
(b) Grantor will pay all taxes, liens, assessments and charges of every character including all utility charges, whether public or private, already levied or assessed or that may hereafter be levied or assessed upon or against the Property as required under the Credit Agreement.
1.05 Insurance .
Grantor shall procure for, deliver to and maintain for the benefit of Agent and Lenders the insurance policies described in the Credit Agreement. Grantor shall pay all premiums on such insurance policies. All proceeds of any property or casualty insurance or awards of damages on account of any taking or condemnation for public use of or injury to the Property are hereby assigned and shall be paid to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, subject to Borrowers and Grantors right to adjust certain claims and use such proceeds as provided in the Credit Agreement. Any such proceeds shall be released and advanced to Borrower or Grantor in accordance with and subject to the requirements of the Credit Agreement and be applied to the cost of repairing or restoring the Property or the remaining portion of the Property, with any balance remaining to be applied in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement. In the event of a foreclosure sale of all or any part of the Property pursuant to the enforcement of this Instrument, the purchaser of such Property shall succeed to all rights of Grantor, including any rights to the proceeds of insurance and to unearned premiums, in and to all of the policies of insurance. In the event of a foreclosure sale, Agent is hereby authorized, without the further consent of Grantor, to take such steps as Agent may deem advisable to cause the interest of such purchaser to be protected by any of such policies. In case of Grantors failure to keep the Property properly insured as required herein, Agent, after notice to Grantor, at its option may (but shall not be required to) acquire such insurance as required herein at Borrowers and Grantors sole expense.

7
AGREEMENT; (B) SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS HEREOF AND OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, GRANTOR MUST, IF REQUIRED BY AGENT, DELIVER TO AGENT A COPY OF THE POLICY AND PROOF OF THE PAYMENT OF PREMIUMS; AND (C) SUBJECT TO THE PROVISIONS HEREOF AND OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT, IF GRANTOR FAILS TO MEET ANY REQUIREMENT LISTED IN THE FOREGOING SUBPARTS (A) OR (B), AGENT MAY OBTAIN COLLATERAL PROTECTION INSURANCE ON BEHALF OF GRANTOR AT BORROWERS AND GRANTORS EXPENSE.
1.06 Condemnation . If all or any portion of the Property shall be damaged or taken through condemnation (which term when used in this Instrument shall include any damage or taking by any governmental authority or any transfer by private sale in lieu thereof), either temporarily or permanently, then all compensation, awards and other payments or relief thereof, shall be paid and applied in accordance with terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement.
1.07 Care, Use and Management of Property .
(a) Grantor will keep, or cause to be kept, the roads and walkways, landscaping and all other Improvements of any kind now or hereafter erected on the Land or any part thereof in good condition and repair, will not commit or suffer any waste, impairment or deterioration (ordinary wear and tear excepted) and will not do or suffer to be done anything which will increase the risk of fire or other hazard to the Property or any part thereof.
(b) Grantor will not remove or demolish nor alter nor expand the structural character of any building located on the Land or any fixtures or personal property relating thereto except when incidental to the replacement of fixtures and personal property with items of like kind and value or customary tenant improvements pursuant to Leases approved or deemed approved pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
(c) If the Property or any part thereof is materially damaged by fire or any other cause, Grantor will give immediate written notice thereof to Agent.
(d) Grantor will promptly comply with all present and future laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of any governmental authority, all restrictive covenants and other agreements affecting the Property or relating to the operation thereof affecting the Property or any part thereof and all licenses or permits affecting the Property or any part thereof, subject to Grantors right to contest the same as provided in the Credit Agreement.
(e) Grantor shall keep the Property, including the Improvements and the Personal Property (as hereinafter defined), in good order, repair and tenantable condition and shall replace fixtures, equipment, machinery and appliances on the Property when necessary to keep such items in good order, repair, and tenantable condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted).
(f) Grantor shall keep all franchises, trademarks, trade names, service marks and licenses and permits necessary for the Grantors use and occupancy of the Property in good standing and in full force and effect.
8
(g) Unless required by applicable law or unless Agent has otherwise agreed in writing, Grantor shall not allow changes in the nature of the occupancy or use for which the Property was intended at the time this Instrument was executed. Grantor shall not abandon the Property. Grantor shall not initiate, fail to contest or acquiesce in a change in the zoning classification of the Property or subject the Property to restrictive or negative covenants without Agents written consent. Grantor shall comply with, observe and perform all zoning and other laws affecting the Property, all agreements and restrictive covenants affecting the Property, and all licenses and permits affecting the Property, subject to Grantors right to contest compliance with laws to the extent permitted in the Credit Agreement.
(h) To the extent permitted under the terms of the applicable Leases, Agent may, at Grantors expense, make or cause to be made reasonable entries upon and inspections of the Property as permitted in the Credit Agreement during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice, or at any other time when necessary or appropriate in an emergency circumstance or during the continuance of an Event of Default, in the sole reasonable discretion of Agent, to protect or preserve the Property.
(i) If all or any part of the Property shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or loss, then, subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, Grantor will promptly restore the Property to the equivalent of its original condition; and if a part of the Property shall be damaged through condemnation, Grantor will promptly restore, repair or alter the remaining portions of the Property in a manner satisfactory to Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Grantor shall not be obligated to so restore unless, in each instance, Agent agrees to make available to Grantor (subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement) any net insurance or condemnation proceeds actually received by Agent hereunder in connection with such casualty loss or condemnation, to the extent such proceeds are required to defray the expense of such restoration; provided, however, that, subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, the insufficiency of any such insurance or condemnation proceeds to defray the entire expense of restoration shall in no way relieve Grantor of its obligation to restore.
(j) Grantor shall pay all normal and customary operating expenses for the Property as the same become due.
1.08 Leases and other Agreements Affecting Property .
(a) As additional security for the Secured Obligations, Grantor presently and unconditionally assigns and transfers to Agent all of Grantors right, title and interest in and to the Leases and the Revenues, including those now due, past due or to become due by virtue of any of the Leases for the occupancy or use of all or any part of the Property. Grantor hereby authorizes Agent or Agents agents to collect the Revenues and hereby directs such tenants, lessees and licensees of the Property to pay the Revenues to Agent or Agents agents; provided, however, Grantor shall have a license (revocable upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) to collect and receive the Revenues. Grantor agrees that each and every tenant, lessee and licensee of the Property may pay, and hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs each and every tenant, lessee and licensee of the Property to pay, the Revenues to Agent or Agents agents on Agents written demand therefor (which demand may be made by Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) without any
9
obligation on the part of said tenant, lessee or licensee to inquire as to the existence of an Event of Default and notwithstanding any notice or claim of Grantor to the contrary, and Grantor agrees that Grantor shall have no right or claim against said tenant, lessee or licensee for or by reason of any Revenues paid to Agent following receipt of such written demand.
(b) Grantor hereby covenants that Grantor has not executed any prior assignment of the Leases or the Revenues, that Grantor has not performed, and will not perform, any acts and has not executed, and will not execute, any instruments which would prevent Agent from exercising the rights of the beneficiary of this Instrument, and that at the time of execution of this Instrument, there has been no anticipation or prepayment of any of the Revenues for more than one (1) month prior to the due dates of such Revenues. Grantor further covenants that Grantor will not hereafter collect or accept payment of any Revenues more than one (1) month prior to the due dates of such Revenues.
(c) Grantor agrees that neither the foregoing assignment of Leases and Revenues nor the exercise of any of Agents rights and remedies under this Section or Article 2 hereof shall be deemed to make Agent a mortgagee-in-possession or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Leases, the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any portion thereof, unless and until Agent, in person or by agent, assumes actual possession thereof. Grantor further agrees that the appointment of any receiver for the Property by any court at the request of Agent or by agreement with Grantor, or the entering into possession of any part of the Property by such receiver, shall not be deemed to make Agent a mortgagee-in-possession or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Leases, the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any portion thereof.
(d) If Agent exercises its rights and remedies pursuant to this Section or Article 2 hereof, all Revenues thereafter collected shall be applied in such order as Agent may elect in its discretion to the reasonable costs of taking control of and managing the Property and collecting the Revenues, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys fees actually incurred, fees, receiver fees, premiums on receivers bonds, costs of repairs to the Property, premiums on insurance policies, Impositions and other charges on the Property, and the costs of discharging any obligation or liability of Grantor as landlord, lessor or licensor of the Property, or to the Secured Obligations. Agent or any receiver shall have access to the books and records used in the operation and maintenance of the Property and shall be liable to account only for those Revenues actually received. Agent shall not be liable to Grantor, anyone claiming under or through Grantor or anyone having an interest in the Property by reason of anything done or left undone by Agent pursuant to this Section or Article 2 hereof, except in the event of Agents gross negligence or willful misconduct. If the Revenues are not sufficient to meet the costs of taking control of and managing the Property and collecting the Revenues, any monies reasonably expended by Agent for such purposes shall become a portion of the Secured Obligations. Unless Agent and Grantor agree in writing to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be payable upon notice from Agent to Grantor requesting payment thereof and shall bear interest from the date of disbursement at the Default Rate stated in the Credit Agreement unless payment of interest at such rate would be contrary to applicable law, in which event such amounts shall bear interest at the highest rate which may be collected from Grantor under applicable law. The entering upon and taking possession of and maintaining of control of the Property by Agent or any receiver and the application of Revenues as provided herein shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or invalidate any other right or remedy of Agent hereunder.
10
(e) It is the intention of Agent and Grantor that the assignment effectuated by this Instrument with respect to the Revenues shall be a direct and currently effective assignment and shall not constitute merely an obligation to grant a lien, security interest or pledge for the purpose of securing the Secured Obligations.
(f) In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines that, notwithstanding such expressed intent of the parties, Agents interest in the Revenues constitutes a lien on or security interest in or pledge of the Revenues, it is agreed and understood that the forwarding of a notice to Borrower after the occurrence of an Event of Default advising Borrower of the revocation of Borrowers license to collect such Revenues, shall be sufficient action by Agent to (i) perfect such lien on or security interest in or pledge of the Revenues, (ii) take possession thereof and (iii) entitle Agent to immediate and direct payment of the Revenues, for application as provided in this Instrument, all without the necessity of any further action by Agent, including, without limitation, any action to obtain possession of the Land, Improvements or any other portion of the Property.
1.09 Leases of the Property .
(a) Except as permitted in the Credit Agreement, Grantor shall not enter into any Lease of all or any portion of the Property or amend, supplement or otherwise modify, or 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 of the Property, without the prior written consent of Agent. Grantor, at Agents request, shall furnish Agent with executed copies of all Leases hereafter made of all or any part of the Property. Upon Agents request, Grantor shall make a separate and distinct assignment to Agent, as additional security, of all Leases hereafter made of all or any part of the Property.
(b) There shall be no merger of the leasehold estates created by the Leases with the fee estate of the Land without the prior written consent of Agent. Agent may at any time and from time to time by specific written instrument intended for the purpose, unilaterally subordinate the lien of this Instrument to any Lease, without joinder or consent of, or notice to, Grantor, any tenant or any other Person, and notice is hereby given to each tenant under a Lease of such right to subordinate. No such subordination shall constitute a subordination to any lien or other encumbrance, whenever arising, or improve the right of any junior lienholder. Nothing herein shall be construed as subordinating this Instrument to any Lease.
(c) Grantor hereby appoints Agent its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, empowering Agent to subordinate this Instrument to any Leases.
1.10 Security Agreement .
(a) Insofar as the machinery, apparatus, equipment, fittings, fixtures, building supplies and materials, general intangibles and articles of personal property either referred to or described in this Instrument, or in any way connected with the use and enjoyment of the Property
11
is concerned, Grantor grants unto Agent a security interest therein and this Instrument is hereby made and declared to be a security agreement, encumbering each and every item of personal property (the Personal Property ) included herein, in compliance with the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code as enacted in the applicable jurisdiction as set forth in Section 3.04 below (the UCC ). Any notification required by the UCC shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if sent in accordance with the notice provisions of this Instrument at least ten (10) days before any sale or other disposition of the Personal Property. Disposition of the Personal Property shall be deemed commercially reasonable if made pursuant to a public sale advertised at least twice in a newspaper of general circulation in the community where the Property is located. It shall be deemed commercially reasonable for the Trustee and/or Agent to dispose of the Personal Property without giving any warranties as to the Personal Property and specifically disclaiming all disposition warranties. A financing statement or statements affecting all of said personal property aforementioned, shall be appropriately filed. The remedies for any violation of the covenants, terms and conditions of the security agreement herein contained shall be (i) as prescribed herein with respect to the Property, or (ii) as prescribed by general law, or (iii) as prescribed by the specific statutory consequences now or hereafter enacted and specified in said UCC, all at Agents sole election. Grantor and Agent agree that the filing of such financing statement(s) in the records normally having to do with personal property shall never be construed as in any way derogating from or impairing this declaration and hereby stated intention of Grantor and Agent that everything used in connection with the production of income from the Property and/or adapted for use therein and/or which is described or reflected in this Instrument, is to the full extent provided by law, and at all times and for all purposes and in all proceedings both legal or equitable shall be, regarded as part of the real estate irrespective of whether (i) any such item is physically attached to the Improvements, (ii) serial numbers are used for the better identification of certain items capable of being thus identified in a recital contained herein, or (iii) any such item is referred to or reflected in any such financing statement(s) so filed at any time. Similarly, the mention in any such financing statement(s) of the rights in and to (1) the proceeds of any fire and/or hazard insurance policy, or (2) any award in eminent domain proceedings for a taking or for loss of value, or (3) Grantors interest as lessor in any present or future lease or rights to income growing out of the use and/or occupancy of the Property, whether pursuant to lease or otherwise, shall never be construed as in any way altering any of the rights of Agent as determined by this Instrument, subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement, or impugning the priority of Agents lien granted hereby or by any other recorded document, but such mention in such financing statement(s) is declared to be for the protection of Agent in the event any court shall at any time hold with respect to the foregoing (1), (2) or (3), that notice of Agents priority of interest to be effective against a particular class of persons, must be filed in the UCC records.
(b) Grantor warrants that (i) Grantors (that is, Debtors) correct legal name (including, without limitation, punctuation and spacing) indicated on the public record of Grantors jurisdiction of organization, identity or corporate structure, residence or chief executive office and jurisdiction of organization are as set forth in Subsection 1.10(c) hereof; (ii) Grantor (that is, Debtor) has been using or operating under said name, identity or corporate structure without change for the time period set forth in Subsection 1.10(c) hereof, and (iii) the location of the Personal Property secured by this Instrument is upon the Land (except that the books and records related to the Property may be stored and maintained at another site). Grantor covenants and agrees that Grantor shall not change any of the matters addressed by clauses (i) or
12
(iii) of this Subsection 1.10(b) unless it has given Agent thirty (30) days prior written notice of any such change and has executed or authorized at the request of Agent such additional financing statements or other instruments in such jurisdictions as Agent may deem necessary or advisable in its sole discretion to prevent any filed financing statement from becoming misleading or losing its perfected status.
(c) The information contained in this Subsection 1.10(c) is provided in order that this Instrument shall comply with the requirements of the Uniform Commercial Code, as enacted in the State of Texas, for instruments to be filed as financing statements. The names of the Debtor and the Secured Party, the identity or corporate structure, jurisdiction of organization, organizational number, and residence or chief executive office of Debtor, and the time period for which Debtor has been using or operating under said name and identity or corporate structure without change, are as set forth in Schedule 1 of Exhibit C attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof; the mailing address of the Secured Party from which information concerning the security interest may be obtained, and the mailing address of Debtor, are as set forth in Schedule 2 of Exhibit C attached hereto; and a statement indicating the types, or describing the items, of Personal Property secured by this Instrument is set forth hereinabove.
(d) Exhibit C correctly sets forth all names and tradenames that Grantor has used within the last five years, and also correctly sets forth the locations of all of the chief executive offices of Grantor over the last five years.
(e) The Grantor hereby covenants and agrees that:
(1) Grantor shall not merge or consolidate into, or transfer any of the Property to, any other person or entity except as permitted under the Credit Agreement.
(2) Grantor shall, at any time and from time to time, take such steps as Agent may reasonably request for Agent (A) to obtain an acknowledgment, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, of any bailee having possession of any of the Property, stating that the bailee holds possession of such Property on behalf of Agent, (B) to obtain control of any investment property, deposit accounts, letter-of-credit rights, or electronic chattel paper (as such terms are defined by the UCC with corresponding provisions thereof defining what constitutes control for such items of collateral), with any agreements establishing control to be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, and (C) otherwise to insure the continued perfection and priority of the Agents security interest in any of the Property and of the preservation of its rights therein. If Grantor shall at any time, acquire a commercial tort claim (as such term is defined in the UCC) with respect to the Property or any portion thereof, Grantor shall promptly notify Agent thereof in writing, providing a reasonable description and summary thereof, and shall execute a supplement to this Instrument in form and substance acceptable to Agent granting a security interest in such commercial tort claim to Agent.
(3) Grantor hereby authorizes Agent, its counsel or its representative, at any time and from time to time, to file financing statements, amendments and continuations that describe or relate to the Property or any portion thereof in such jurisdictions as Agent may
13
deem necessary or desirable in order to perfect the security interests granted by Grantor under this Instrument or any other Loan Document, and such financing statements may contain, among other items as Agent may deem advisable to include therein, the federal tax identification number of Grantor.
(4) Grantor shall not license, lease, sell or otherwise transfer any of the general intangibles to any third party during the term of this Instrument and the Credit Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent (which consent may be withheld in the Agents sole discretion); and the Grantor will continue to use all trademarks, service marks and trade names in a consistent manner and shall take all steps necessary to properly maintain any formal registrations on the general intangibles, and to defend and enforce them, for the term of this Instrument and the Credit Agreement.
1.11 Further Assurances; After-Acquired Property . At any time and from time to time, upon request by Agent, Grantor will make, execute and deliver or cause to be made, executed and delivered, to Trustee and Agent and, where appropriate, cause to be recorded and/or filed and from time to time thereafter to be rerecorded and/or refiled at such time and in such offices and places as shall be deemed desirable by Agent, any and all such other and further deeds of trust, security agreements, financing statements, notice filings, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance, certificates and other documents as may, in the opinion of Agent, be necessary or desirable in order to effectuate, complete, or perfect, or to continue and preserve (a) the obligation of Grantor under the Guaranty, this Instrument, the other Loan Documents and the Hedge Documents and (b) this Instrument as a first and prior lien upon and security interest in and to all of the Property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired by Grantor. Upon any failure by Grantor so to do, Agent may make, execute, record, file, re-record and/or refile any and all such deeds of trust, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements, instruments, certificates, and documents for and in the name of Grantor and Grantor hereby irrevocably appoints Agent the agent and attorney-in-fact of Grantor so to do. The lien hereof will automatically attach, without further act, to all after acquired property attached to and/or used in the operation of the Property or any part thereof.
1.12 Expenses . Grantor will pay or reimburse Agent, upon demand therefor, for all reasonable attorneys fees, costs and expenses incurred by Agent in any suit, action, legal proceeding or dispute of any kind in which Lenders, Agent, Trustee or the holders of the Hedge Obligations is made a party or appears as party plaintiff or defendant, affecting or arising in connection with the Secured Obligations secured hereby, this Instrument or the interest created herein, or the Property, including, but not limited to, the exercise of the power of sale contained in this Instrument, any condemnation action involving the Property or any action to protect the security hereof; and any such amounts paid by Lenders, Agent, the holders of the Hedge Obligations or the Trustee shall be added to the Secured Obligations secured by the lien of this Instrument.
1.13 Subrogation . Agent shall be subrogated to the claims and liens of all parties whose claims or liens are discharged or paid with the proceeds of the Secured Obligations secured hereby.
14
1.14 Limit of Validity . If from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any provision of this Instrument, the Guaranty, the Credit Agreement, the Note, any other Loan Document or any Hedge Document, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall be subject to the defense of usury or otherwise transcend or violate applicable law concerning interest or other charges, then ipso facto the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit, so that in no event shall any exaction be possible under this Instrument, the Guaranty, the Note, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Hedge Document be subject to the defense of usury or otherwise transcend or violate applicable law concerning interest or other charges that is in excess of the current limit, but such obligation shall be fulfilled to the maximum limit permitted. The provisions of this Section 1.14 shall control every other provision of this Instrument, the Guaranty, the Note, the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or any Hedge Document.
1.15 Conveyance of Property . Grantor hereby acknowledges to Agent that (a) the identity and expertise of Grantor was and continues to be a material circumstance upon which Agent has relied in connection with, and which constitute valuable consideration to Agent for, the extending to Borrower of the loans and other extensions of credit evidenced by the Note and Credit Agreement, and (b) any change in such identity or expertise could materially impair or jeopardize the security for the payment of the Secured Obligations granted to Agent by this Instrument. Grantor therefore covenants and agrees with Agent, as part of the consideration for the extending to Grantor of the loans evidenced by the Note, that Grantor shall not convey, transfer, assign, further encumber or pledge any or all of its interest in the Property except as permitted under the Credit Agreement.
ARTICLE 2
2.01 Events of Default . The terms Default and Event of Default as used herein shall have the following meanings:
Default shall mean any event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default.
Event of Default shall mean (a) any default in the payment or performance of the obligations of Grantor hereunder or of Borrower or any other Guarantor under any of the other Loan Documents when the same shall become due and payable which is not cured within any grace or notice and cure period provided in the Credit Agreement or such other Loan Documents, if any, subject to any limitations in the Credit Agreement on the right of Grantor, Borrower or any other Guarantor to receive notices of default, or (b) any representation or warranty of Grantor hereunder proving to be false or incorrect in any material respect upon the date when made or deemed to have been repeated, or (c) any default in the performance of the obligations of Grantor or Borrower or any other Person under any of the Security Documents beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, (d) the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, (e) any amendment to or termination of a financing statement naming Grantor as debtor and Agent as secured party, or
15
any correction statement with respect thereto, is filed in any jurisdiction by, or caused by, or at the instance of Grantor or by, or caused by, or at the instance of any principal, member, general partner or officer of Grantor (collectively, Grantor Party) without the prior written consent of Agent; or (f) in the event that any amendment to or termination of a financing statement naming Grantor as debtor and Agent as secured party, or any correction statement with respect thereto, is filed in any jurisdiction by any party other than a Grantor Party or Agent or Agents counsel without the prior written consent of Agent and Grantor fails to use its best efforts to cause the effect of such filing to be completely nullified to the reasonable satisfaction of Agent within ten (10) days after notice to Grantor thereof.
2.02 Acceleration of Maturity . If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then the entire Secured Obligations secured hereby shall, at the option of Agent and as permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement, immediately become due and payable without notice or demand except as required by law, time being of the essence of this Instrument.
2.03 Right to Enter and Take Possession .
(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Grantor, upon demand of Agent, shall forthwith surrender to Agent the actual possession of the Property, and if and to the extent permitted by law, Agent itself, or by such officers or agents as it may appoint, may enter and take possession of all the Property (or such portion or portions as Agent may select) without the appointment of a receiver, or an application therefor, and may exclude Grantor and its agents and employees wholly therefrom, and may have joint access with Grantor to the books, papers and accounts of Grantor.
(b) If Grantor shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Property or any part thereof after such demand by Agent, Agent may obtain a judgment or decree conferring upon Agent the right to immediate possession or requiring Grantor to deliver immediate possession of the Property to Agent. Grantor will pay to Agent, upon demand, all expenses of obtaining such judgment or decree, including reasonable compensation to Agent, its attorneys and agents; and all such expenses and compensation shall, until paid, be secured by the lien of this Instrument.
(c) Upon every such entering upon or taking of possession, Agent may hold, store, use, operate, manage and control the Property and conduct the business thereof and, from time to time, (i) make all necessary and proper maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon and purchase or otherwise acquire additional fixtures, personalty and other property; (ii) insure or keep the Property insured; (iii) lease, manage and operate the Property and exercise all the rights and powers of Grantor to the same extent as Grantor could in its own name or otherwise with respect to the same; and (iv) enter into any and all agreements with respect to the exercise by others of any of the powers herein granted Agent, all as Agent from time to time may determine to be in its best interest. Agent may collect and receive all the rents, issues, profits and revenues from the Property, including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter, and, after deducting (1) all expenses of taking, holding, managing and operating the Property (including compensation for the services
16
of all persons employed for such purposes); (2) the cost of all such maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments, improvements, purchases and acquisitions; (3) the cost of such insurance; (4) such taxes, assessments and other similar charges as Agent may at its option pay; (5) other proper charges upon the Property or any part thereof; and (6) the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the attorneys and agents of Agent, Agent shall apply the remainder of the monies and proceeds so received by Agent in accordance with Section 12.5 of the Credit Agreement. Agent shall have no obligation to discharge any duties of a landlord to any tenant or to incur any liability as a result of any exercise by Agent of any rights under this Instrument or otherwise. Agent shall not be liable for any failure to collect rents, issues, profits and revenues from the Property, nor shall Agent be liable to account for any such rents, issues, profits or revenues unless actually received by Agent.
(d) Whenever all that is due upon the Secured Obligations and under any of the terms, covenants, conditions and agreements of this Instrument shall have been paid, the Lenders have no obligation to make further Loans and the Issuing Lender has no further obligation to issue Letters of Credit, and all Events of Default cured, Agent shall surrender possession of the Property to Grantor, its successors or assigns. The same right of taking possession, however, shall exist if any subsequent Event of Default shall occur and be continuing.
2.04 Performance by Agent . If there shall be a Default or Event of Default in the payment, performance or observance of any term, covenant or condition of this Instrument, Agent may, so long as such Default or Event of Default continues, at its option, pay, perform or observe the same, and all payments made or costs or expenses incurred by Agent in connection therewith, shall be secured hereby and shall be, upon demand, immediately repaid by Grantor to Agent with interest thereon at the Default Rate. Agent shall be the sole judge of the necessity for any such actions and of the amounts to be paid. Agent is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Land or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or observing any such defaulted term, covenant or condition without thereby becoming liable to Grantor or any person in possession holding under Grantor.
2.05 Receiver . If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be entitled as a matter of strict right without regard to the occupancy or value of any security for the Secured Obligations secured hereby or the solvency of any party bound for its payment, to the appointment of a receiver to take possession of and to operate the Property (or such portion or portions as Agent may select) and to collect and apply the rents, issues, profits and revenues thereof. The receiver shall have all of the rights and powers permitted under the laws of the State of Texas. Grantor will pay to Agent upon demand all reasonable expenses, including receivers fees, attorneys fees, costs and agents compensation, incurred pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.05, and all such expenses shall be secured by this Instrument.
2.06 Enforcement .
(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, to the extent permitted by law, Agent, at its option, may effect the foreclosure of this Instrument by directing the Trustee to sell the Property (or such portion or portions thereof as the Trustee may select) at
17
public auction at such time and place and upon such terms and conditions as may be required or permitted by applicable law, after having first advertised the time, place and terms of sale not less than once a week for three successive weeks in a newspaper having general circulation in the city or county in which the Land being sold lies. At any foreclosure sale, such portion of the Property as is offered for sale may, at the Trustees option, be offered for sale for one total price, and the proceeds of such sale accounted for in one account without distinction between the items of security or without assigning to them any proportion of such proceeds, the Grantor hereby waiving the application of any doctrine of marshalling.
(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent may, in addition to and not in abrogation of the rights covered under subparagraph (a) of this Section 2.06, either with or without entry or taking possession as herein provided or otherwise, proceed by a suit or suits in law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceeding or remedy (i) to enforce payment of the Secured Obligations or the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement of this Instrument or any other right, and (ii) to pursue any other remedy available to it, all as Agent shall determine most effectual for such purposes.
2.07 Purchase by Agent . Upon any foreclosure sale, Agent, on behalf of the Lenders and the holders of the Hedge Obligations, may bid for and purchase the Property and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the Secured Obligations secured hereby as a credit to the purchase price.
2.08 Application of Proceeds of Sale . The proceeds received by Agent as a result of the foreclosure sale of the Property or the exercise of any other rights or remedies hereunder shall be applied in the manner provided for in Section 12.5 of the Credit Agreement.
2.09 Grantor as Tenant Holding Over . In the event of any such foreclosure sale by Agent, Grantor shall be deemed a tenant holding over and shall forthwith deliver possession to the purchaser or purchasers at such sale or be summarily dispossessed according to provisions of law applicable to tenants holding over.
2.10 Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Stay, Extension and Redemption Laws . Grantor agrees, to the full extent permitted by law, that in case of a Default or Event of Default, neither Grantor nor anyone claiming through or under it shall or will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, homestead, exemption or redemption laws now or hereafter in force and Grantor, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives to the full extent that it may lawfully so do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have the assets comprised in the security intended to be created hereby marshaled upon any foreclosure of the lien hereof.
2.11 Waiver of Homestead . Grantor hereby waives and renounces all homestead and exemption rights provided for by the Constitution and the laws of the United States and of any state, in and to the Property as against the collection of the Secured Obligations, or any part hereof.
2.12 Leases; Licensees . Agent, at its option, is authorized to foreclose this Instrument subject to the rights of any tenants and licensees of the Property, and the failure to make any
18
such tenants or licensees parties to any such foreclosure proceedings and to foreclose their rights will not be, nor be asserted by Grantor to be a defense to any proceedings instituted by Agent to collect the sums secured hereby.
2.13 Discontinuance of Proceedings and Restoration of the Parties . In case Agent shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Instrument by foreclosure, entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to Agent, then and in every such case Grantor and Agent shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, powers and remedies of Agent shall continue as if no such proceeding had been taken.
2.14 Remedies Cumulative . No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Agent by this Instrument is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be exercised against Grantor as Agent may select and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.
2.15 Waiver .
(a) No delay or omission of Agent, any Lender or any holder of the Hedge Obligations to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default, or acquiescence therein; and every right, power and remedy given by this Instrument to Agent may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Agent. No consent or waiver, expressed or implied, by Agent to or of any Default or Event of Default by Grantor in the performance of the obligations thereof hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other Default or Event of Default in the performance of the same or any other obligations of Grantor hereunder. Failure on the part of Agent, the Lenders or any holder of the Hedge Obligations to complain of any act or failure to act or to declare a Default or Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by Agent, any Lender or any holder of the Hedge Obligations of its rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies consequent on any Default or Event of Default by Grantor.
(b) If Lenders or Agent on behalf of the Lenders, or any holder of the Hedge Obligations (i) grant forbearance or an extension of time for the payment of any sums secured hereby; (ii) take other or additional security for the payment of any sums secured hereby; (iii) waive or do not exercise any right granted herein or in the Note, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Hedge Document; (iv) release any part of the Property from the lien of this Instrument or otherwise change any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements of the Note, this Instrument, any other Loan Document or any Hedge Document; (v) consent to the filing of any map, plat or replat affecting the Property; (vi) consent to the granting of any easement or other right affecting the Property; or (vii) make or consent to any agreement subordinating the lien hereof, any such act or omission shall not release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original liability under the Note, the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty, this Instrument or any other obligation of Grantor, or any subsequent purchaser of the Property or any part thereof, or any maker, co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor; nor shall any such act or
19
omission preclude Agent from exercising any right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in the event of any Default then made or of any subsequent Default; nor, except as otherwise expressly provided in an instrument or instruments executed by Agent, shall the lien of this Instrument be altered thereby. In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all or any part of the Property, Agent, without notice, is hereby authorized and empowered to deal with any such vendee or transferee with reference to the Property or the Secured Obligations secured hereby, or with reference to any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements hereof, as fully and to the same extent as it might deal with the original parties hereto and without in any way releasing or discharging any liabilities, obligations or undertakings.
2.16 Suits to Protect the Property . Agent shall have power (a) to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the Property by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of this Instrument, (b) to preserve or protect its interest in the Property and in the rents, issues, profits and revenues arising therefrom, and (c) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order would impair the security hereunder or be prejudicial to the interest of Lenders or the holders of the Hedge Obligations.
2.17 Agent May File Proofs of Claim . In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting Grantor, its creditors or its property, Agent, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Agent, Lenders and the holders of the Hedge Obligations allowed in such proceedings for the entire amount due and payable by Grantor under this Instrument at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount which may become due and payable by Grantor hereunder after such date.
2.18 WAIVER OF GRANTORS RIGHTS . BY EXECUTION OF THIS INSTRUMENT, GRANTOR EXPRESSLY: (A) ACKNOWLEDGES THE RIGHT OF AGENT, THE LENDERS AND/OR THE HOLDERS OF THE HEDGE OBLIGATIONS TO ACCELERATE THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS AND, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE POWER OF AGENT TO CAUSE TRUSTEE TO SELL THE PROPERTY BY NONJUDICIAL FORECLOSURE UPON DEFAULT BY GRANTOR WITHOUT ANY JUDICIAL HEARING AND WITHOUT ANY NOTICE OTHER THAN SUCH NOTICE (IF ANY) AS IS SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED TO BE GIVEN UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THIS INSTRUMENT OR BY LAW; (B) TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS WHICH GRANTOR MAY HAVE UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FIFTH AND FOURTEENTH AMENDMENTS THEREOF), THE VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF THE CONSTITUTIONS FOR THE SEVERAL STATES, OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER APPLICABLE LAW, TO NOTICE AND TO JUDICIAL HEARING PRIOR TO THE EXERCISE BY AGENT OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY HEREIN PROVIDED TO AGENT, EXCEPT SUCH NOTICE (IF ANY) AS IS SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED TO BE PROVIDED IN THIS INSTRUMENT OR BY APPLICABLE LAW; (C) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT GRANTOR HAS READ THIS INSTRUMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS

4.04 Additional Remedy Provisions .
(a) Delivery Upon Sale . Upon the completion of any sale or sales pursuant hereto, Trustee shall execute and deliver to the accepted purchaser or purchasers a good and sufficient instrument, or good and sufficient instruments, conveying, assigning and transferring all estate, right, title and interest in and to the property and rights sold by general warranty of title. Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the true and lawful attorney of Grantor, in its name and stead, to make all necessary conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of the Property and rights so sold and for that purpose Trustee may execute all necessary instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer, and may substitute one or more persons with like power, Grantor hereby ratifying and confirming all that its said attorney or such substitute or substitutes shall lawfully do by virtue hereof. Any sale or sales made under or by virtue of this section, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, shall operate to divest all the estate, right, title, interest, claim and demand whatsoever, whether at law or in equity, of Grantor in and to the properties and rights so sold, and shall be a perpetual bar both at law and in equity against Grantor and against any and all persons claiming or who may claim the same, or any part thereof from, through or under Grantor.
(b) Option to Bid . Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this paragraph, whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, Agent may bid for and acquire
26
the Property or any part thereof and in lieu of paying cash therefor may make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Secured Obligations the net sales price after deducting therefrom the expenses of the sale and costs of the action and any other sums which Agent is authorized to deduct under this Instrument.
(c) Remaining Liens . No recovery of any judgment by Agent and no levy of an execution under any judgment upon the Property shall affect in any manner or to any extent the lien of this Instrument upon the Property or any part thereof, or any liens, rights, powers or remedies of Agent hereunder, but such liens, rights, powers and remedies of Agent shall continue unimpaired as before.
(d) No Waiver of Remedies . Agent may resort to any remedies and the security given by the Guaranty, this Instrument or the other Loan Documents in whole or in part, and in such portions and in such order as determined by Agents sole discretion. No such action shall in any way be considered a waiver of any rights, benefits or remedies evidenced or provided by the Guaranty, this Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents. The failure of Agent to exercise any right, remedy or option provided in the Guaranty, this Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents shall not be deemed a waiver of such right, remedy or option or of any covenant or obligation secured by the Guaranty, this Instrument or the other Loan Documents. No acceptance by Agent of any payment after the occurrence of any Event of Default and no payment by Agent of any obligation for which Grantor is liable hereunder shall be deemed to waive or cure any Event of Default with respect to Grantors liability to pay such obligation. No sale of all or any portion of the Property, no forbearance on the part of Agent, and no extension of time for the payment of the whole or any portion of the Secured Obligations or any other indulgence given by Agent to Grantor, shall operate to release or in any manner affect the interest of Agent, any Lender or any holder of the Hedge Obligations in the remaining Property or the liability of Grantor to pay the Secured Obligations or the liability of Grantor under the Guaranty. No waiver by Agent shall be effective unless it is in writing and then only to the extent specifically stated. All costs and expenses of Agent and Lenders in exercising their rights and remedies under this Instrument (including reasonable attorneys fees and disbursements to the extent permitted by law), shall be paid by Grantor immediately upon notice from Agent, and such costs and expenses shall constitute a portion of the Secured Obligations and shall be secured by this Instrument. The interests and rights of Agent, any Lender or any holder of the Hedge Obligations under the Guaranty, this Instrument or in any of the other Loan Documents shall not be impaired by any indulgence, including (i) any renewal, extension or modification which Agent or any Lender may grant with respect to any of the Secured Obligations, (ii) any surrender, compromise, release, renewal, extension, exchange or substitution which Agent, any Lender, or any holder of the Hedge Obligations may grant with respect to the Property or any portion thereof; or (iii) any release or indulgence granted to any maker, endorser, guarantor or surety of any of the Secured Obligations.
27
(e) Foreclosure . Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Agent may request Trustee to proceed with foreclosure under the power of sale which is hereby conferred, such foreclosure to be accomplished in accordance with the following provisions:
(1) Public Sale . Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered, and it shall be Trustees special duty, upon such request of Agent, to sell the Property, or any part thereof, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash, with or without having taken possession of same. Any such sale (including notice thereof) shall comply with the applicable requirements, at the time of the sale, of Section 51.002 of the Texas Property Code or, if and to the extent such statute is not then in force, with the applicable requirements, at the time of the sale, of the successor statute or statutes, if any, governing sales of Texas real property under powers of sale conferred by deeds of trust. If there is no statute in force at the time of the sale governing sales of Texas real property under powers of sale conferred by deeds of trust, such sale shall comply with applicable law, at the time of the sale, governing sales of Texas real property under powers of sale conferred by deeds of trust. Trustee or his successor or substitute may appoint or delegate any one or more persons as agent to perform any act or acts necessary or incident to any sale held by Trustee, including the posting of notices, and the conduct of sale, but in the name and on behalf of Trustee, his successor or substitute.
(2) Right to Require Proof of Financial Ability and/or Cash Bid . To the extent permitted by applicable law, any time during the bidding, Trustee may require a bidding party (A) to disclose its full name, state and city of residence, occupation, and specific business office location, and the name and address of the principal the bidding party is representing (if applicable), and (B) to demonstrate reasonable evidence of the bidding partys financial ability (or, if applicable, the financial ability of the principal of such bidding party), as a condition to the bidding party submitting bids at the foreclosure sale. If any such bidding party (the Questioned Bidder ) declines to comply with Trustees requirement in this regard, or if such Questioned Bidder does respond but Trustee, in Trustees sole and absolute discretion, deems the information or the evidence of the financial ability of the Questioned Bidder (or, if applicable, the principal of such bidding party) to be inadequate, then Trustee may continue the bidding with reservation; and in such event (1) Trustee shall be authorized to caution the Questioned Bidder concerning the legal obligations to be incurred in submitting bids, and (2) if the Questioned Bidder is not the highest bidder at the sale, or if having been the highest bidder the Questioned Bidder fails to deliver the cash purchase price payment promptly to Trustee, all bids by the Questioned Bidder shall be null and void. Trustee may, in Trustees sole and absolute discretion, determine that a credit bid may be in the best interest of the Grantor and Agent, and elect to sell the Property for credit or for a combination of cash and credit; provided , however , that Trustee shall have no obligation to accept any bid except an all cash bid. In the event Trustee requires a cash bid and cash is not delivered within a reasonable time after conclusion of the bidding process, as specified by Trustee, but in no event later than 3:45 p.m. local time on the day of sale, then said contingent sale shall be null and void, the bidding process may be recommenced, and any subsequent bids or sale shall be made as if no prior bids were made or accepted.
(3) Sale Subject to Unmatured Secured Obligations . In addition to the rights and powers of sale granted under the preceding provisions of this subsection (e), if default is made in the payment of any installment of the Secured Obligations and is not cured within applicable cure periods, Agent may, at Agents option, at once or at any time thereafter while any matured installment remains unpaid, without declaring the entire Secured Obligations to be due and payable, orally or in writing direct Trustee to enforce this Instrument and to sell the Property subject to such unmatured Secured Obligations and to the rights, powers, liens, security
28
interests, and assignments securing or providing recourse for payment of such unmatured Secured Obligations, in the same manner, all as provided in the preceding provisions of this subsection. Sales made without maturing the Secured Obligations may be made hereunder whenever there is a default in the payment of any installment of the Secured Obligations, without exhausting the power of sale granted hereby, and without affecting in any way the power of sale granted under this subsection, the unmatured balance of the Secured Obligations or the rights, powers, liens, security interests, and assignments securing or providing recourse for payment of the Secured Obligations.
(4) Partial Foreclosure . Sale of a part of the Property shall not exhaust the power of sale, but sales may be made from time to time until the Secured Obligations are paid in full. It is intended by each of the foregoing provisions of this subsection that Trustee may, after any request or direction by Agent, sell not only the Land and the Improvements, but also the fixtures and other interests constituting a part of the Property or any part thereof, along with the Land and the Improvements or any part thereof, as a unit and as a part of a single sale, or may sell at any time or from time to time any part or parts of the Property separately from the remainder of the Property. It shall not be necessary to have present or to exhibit any of the Property at any sale. Any sale of personal property made hereunder shall be deemed to have been a public sale conducted in a commercially reasonable manner if held contemporaneously with, or as part of, and upon the same notice as required for the sale of real property under the power of sale granted herein.
(f) Trustees Deeds . After any sale under this subsection, Trustee shall make good and sufficient deeds, assignments, and other conveyances to the purchaser or purchasers thereunder in the name of Grantor, conveying the Property or any part thereof so sold to the purchaser or purchasers with general warranty of title by Grantor. It is agreed that in any deeds, assignments or other conveyances given by Trustee, any and all statements of fact or other recitals therein made as to the identity of Agent, the occurrence or existence of any Event of Default, the notice of intention to accelerate, or acceleration of, the maturity of the Secured Obligations, the request to sell, notice of sale, time, place, terms and manner of sale, and receipt, distribution, and application of the money realized therefrom, the due and proper appointment of a substitute trustee, and without being limited by the foregoing, any other act or thing having been duly done by or on behalf of Agent or by or on behalf of Trustee, shall be taken by all courts of law and equity as prima facie evidence that such statements or recitals state true, correct, and complete facts and Grantor does hereby ratify and confirm any and all acts that Trustee may lawfully do in the premises by virtue hereof.
(g) Inapplicability of Credit Code . In no event shall the provisions of Chapter 346 of the Texas Finance Code (which regulates certain revolving credit loan accounts and revolving triparty accounts) apply to the Secured Obligations.
(h) Maturity Date . The Secured Obligations have a final maturity date of July 31, 2017, unless extended as provided in the Credit Agreement.
(i) Notice of Indemnification . GRANTOR ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THIS INSTRUMENT PROVIDES FOR INDEMNIFICATION OF AGENT, LENDERS, HOLDERS OF THE HEDGE OBLIGATIONS AND TRUSTEE BY GRANTOR. EXCEPT FOR THE
29

THE PARTIES SPECIFICALLY INTEND THAT AGENT, LENDERS, THE HOLDERS OF THE HEDGE OBLIGATIONS AND TRUSTEE ARE TO BE INDEMNIFIED AGAINST THEIR OWN NEGLIGENCE (BUT NOT THEIR OWN GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT).
(j) Substitute Trustee . In case of the resignation of Trustee, or the inability (through death or otherwise), refusal or failure of Trustee to act, or at the option of Agent for any other reason (which reason need not be stated), a substitute Trustee (herein referred to as the Substitute Trustee ) may be named, constituted and appointed by Agent, without other formality than an appointment and designation in writing, which appointment and designation shall be full evidence of the right and authority to make the same and of all facts therein recited, and this conveyance shall vest in the Substitute Trustee the title, powers and duties herein conferred on Trustee originally named herein, and the conveyance of the Substitute Trustee to the purchaser(s) at any sale of the Property or any part thereof shall be equally valid and effective. The right to appoint a Substitute Trustee shall exist as often and whenever from any of said causes, Trustee or Substitute Trustee, resigns or cannot, will not or does not act, or Agent desires to appoint a new Trustee. No bond shall ever be required of Trustee or Substitute Trustee. The recitals in any conveyance made by Trustee or Substitute Trustee, shall be accepted and construed in court and elsewhere as prima facie evidence and proof of the facts recited, and no other proof shall be required as to the request by Agent to Trustee to enforce this Instrument, or as to the notice of or holding of the sale, or as to any particulars thereof, or as to the resignation of Trustee or Substitute Trustee, or as to the inability, refusal or failure of Trustee or Substitute Trustee, to act, or as to the election of Agent to appoint a new Trustee, or as to appointment of a Substitute Trustee, and all prerequisites of said sale shall be presumed to have been performed; and each sale made under the powers herein granted shall be a perpetual bar against Grantor and the successors and assigns of Grantor. Trustee or Substitute Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to appoint any one or more persons as attorney-in-fact to act as Trustee under him and in his name, place and stead in order to take any actions that Trustee is authorized and empowered to do hereunder, such appointment to be evidenced by an instrument signed and acknowledged by said Trustee or Substitute Trustee and all acts done by said attorney-in-fact shall be valid, lawful and binding as if done by said Trustee or Substitute Trustee in person. The Agent may appoint or authorize a mortgage servicer to appoint a substitute trustee, such appointment or authorization to be made by power of attorney, corporate resolution or other written instrument. A mortgage servicer may authorize an attorney to appoint a substitute trustee or substitute trustees on behalf of Agent and the Lenders. The name and street address of such trustee or substitute trustee shall be disclosed on the notice of sale required by Section 51.002 of the Texas Property Code.
30
(k) Grantor hereby waives any right or remedy which Grantor may have or be able to assert pursuant to Chapter 34 of the Texas Business and Commerce Code, or any other provision of Texas law, pertaining to the rights and remedies of sureties.
(l) The remedies in this Section 4.04 shall be available under and governed by the real property laws of Texas and shall not be governed by the personal property laws of Texas, including, but not limited to, the power to dispose of personal property in a commercially reasonable manner under Section 9.504 of the Texas Uniform Commercial Code, unless Lender elects to proceed as to the Collateral together with the other Property under and pursuant to the real property remedies of this Section 4.04.
(m) Waiver . In the event an interest in any of the Property is foreclosed upon pursuant to a judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure sale, Grantor agrees as follows: notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 51.003, 51.004, and 51.005 of the Texas Property Code (as the same may be amended from time to time), and to the extent permitted by law, Grantor agrees that Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to seek a deficiency judgment from Grantor and any other party obligated on the Note equal to the difference between the amount owing on the Note and the amount for which the Property was sold pursuant to judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure sale. Grantor expressly recognizes that this Section 4.04(m) constitutes a waiver of the above cited provisions, to the extent permitted by applicable law, of the Texas Property Code which would otherwise permit Grantor and other persons against whom recovery of deficiencies is sought or Guarantor independently (even absent the initiation of deficiency proceedings against them) to present competent evidence of the fair market value of the Property as of the date of the foreclosure sale and offset against any deficiency the amount by which the foreclosure sale price is determined to be less than such fair market value. Grantor further recognizes and agrees that this waiver creates an irrebuttable presumption that the foreclosure sale price is equal to the fair market value of the Property for purposes of calculating deficiencies owed by Grantor, Guarantor, and others against whom recovery of a deficiency is sought.
4.05 Waiver of Consequential, Punitive and Speculative Damages . Grantor and Agent agree that, in connection with any action, suit or proceeding relating to or arising out of this Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents, each mutually waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any claim for consequential, punitive or speculative damages.
4.06 Notice of Insurance Termination/Cancellation .

THIS ASSIGNMENT is made on the following terms, covenants and conditions:
1. Present Assignment . Assignor does hereby absolutely, presently and unconditionally assign to Agent, Assignors right, title and interest in and to any and all Leases and Rents, it being intended by Assignor that this Assignment constitute a present assignment and not an agreement to assign. Assignor agrees to execute and deliver to Agent such additional instruments, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, as may hereinafter be requested by Agent to further evidence and confirm said assignment. Such assignment to Agent shall not be construed to bind Agent to the performance of any of the covenants, conditions, or provisions contained in any of the Leases or otherwise to impose any obligation upon Agent. Agent is hereby granted and assigned by Assignor the right to enter the Property for the purpose of enforcing its interest in the Leases and the Rents, this Assignment constituting a present and unconditional assignment of the Leases and Rents. Assignor shall authorize and direct, and does hereby authorize and direct, each and every present and future tenant under the Leases to pay all Rents directly to Agent upon receipt of written demand from Agent. It is the intent of Assignor and Agent hereunder that the Rents hereby absolutely assigned are no longer, during the term of this Assignment, property of Assignor or property of any estate of Assignor as defined by 11 U.S.C. § 541, and shall not constitute collateral, cash or otherwise, of Assignor. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Paragraph 1, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Assignor shall have the right to act as lessor under the Leases to the extent not prohibited by the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, all references in this Assignment to an assignment or transfer of Leases and Rents is intended to and shall be deemed to provide to Agent and the Lenders a security interest in all Rents as defined in Chapter 64 of the Texas Property Code. Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to all rights and remedies of an assignee as set forth in said Chapter 64.
2. License . Although this Assignment constitutes a present assignment of all Rents, so long as there shall exist no Event of Default under the Instrument or the Credit Agreement, Assignor shall have a license (revocable upon the occurrence and during the continuous of an Event of Default) to collect and receive the Rents. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the license granted in this Paragraph 2 shall automatically, without further act by Agent, cease and terminate, and thereafter, any Rents received by Assignor shall be held in trust for the benefit of, and shall be immediately remitted by Assignor to, Agent.
3. Remedies of Agent . If an Event of Default under the Instrument or the Credit Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent may collect and receive all the Rents, including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter, and, Assignor hereby authorizes Agent or Agents agents to collect the Rents and hereby directs such tenants, lessees and licensees of the Property to pay the Rents to Agent or Agents agents. Assignor agrees that each and every tenant, lessee and licensee of the Property may pay, and hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs each and every tenant, lessee and licensee of the Property to pay, the Rents to Agent or Agents agents on Agents written demand therefor (which demand may be made by Agent at any time after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default) without any obligation on the part of said tenant, lessee or licensee to inquire as to the existence of an Event of Default and notwithstanding any notice or claim of Assignor to the contrary, and Assignor agrees that Assignor shall have no right or claim against said tenant, lessee or licensee for or by reason of any Rents paid to Agent following receipt of such written demand. Anything in this Paragraph 3 to the contrary notwithstanding, Agent shall not be obligated to discharge or
4
perform the duties of a landlord or lessor to any tenant or other occupant or incur any liability as a result of the exercise by Agent of its rights under this Assignment, and Agent shall be liable to account only for the rents, income, issues, profits and revenues actually received by Agent. In connection with any action taken by the Agent pursuant to this Paragraph 3, the Agent shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Assignor resulting from any act or omission of the Agent, including a loss arising from the ordinary negligence of the Agent, unless such loss is caused by its own gross negligence or willful misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods, nor shall the Agent be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability of Assignor. Assignor hereby assents to, ratifies and confirms any and all actions of the Agent with respect to the Property taken under this Paragraph 3.
4. No Liability of Agent . After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Agent is fully authorized to receive and receipt for said revenues and proceeds; to endorse and cash any and all checks and drafts payable to the order of Assignor or the Agent for the account of Assignor received from or in connection with said revenues or proceeds and apply the proceeds thereof to the payment of the Secured Obligations, when received, regardless of the maturity of any of the Loans or the Hedge Obligations, or any installment thereof; and to execute transfer and division orders in the name of Assignor, or otherwise, with warranties binding Assignor. The Agent shall not be liable for any delay, neglect, or failure to effect collection of any proceeds or to take any other action in connection therewith or hereunder; but shall have the right, at its election, in the name of Assignor or otherwise, to prosecute and defend any and all actions or legal proceedings deemed advisable by the Agent in order to collect such funds and to protect the interests of the Agent and/or Assignor, with all costs, expenses and attorneys fees incurred in connection therewith being paid by Assignor.
5. Other Remedies and Non-Waiver . No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to Agent by this Assignment is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission of Agent or of any Lender to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default, or acquiescence therein; and every right, power and remedy given by this Assignment to Agent may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Agent. No consent or waiver, expressed or implied, by Agent to or of any breach or default by Assignor in the performance of the obligations thereof hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or default in the performance of the same or any other obligations of Assignor hereunder. Failure on the part of Agent to complain of any act or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default under the Instrument, the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty or the other Loan Documents, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by Agent of its rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers or remedies of Agent consequent on any breach or default by Assignor. Nothing contained in this Assignment and no act done or omitted by Agent pursuant to the power and rights granted to Agent hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver by Agent of its rights and remedies under the other Loan Documents and this Assignment is made and accepted without prejudice to any of the
5
rights and remedies possessed by Agent under the terms thereof. The right of the Agent to collect the Rents and to enforce any other security thereof held by it may be exercised by Agent either prior to, simultaneously with or subsequent to any action taken by it hereunder.
6. Conflict with Credit Agreement Provisions . Assignor hereby acknowledges and agrees that, in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of the Credit Agreement, the terms of the Credit Agreement shall control.
7. No Mortgagee in Possession . Nothing herein contained shall be construed as constituting Agent a mortgagee in possession in the absence of the taking of actual possession of the Property by Agent. In the exercise of the powers herein granted to Agent, no liability shall be asserted or enforced against Agent, all such liability being expressly waived and released by Assignor.
8. No Oral Change . This Assignment may not be modified, amended, waived, extended, changed, discharged or terminated orally, or by any act or failure to act on the part of Assignor or Agent, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom the enforcement of any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought.

(ii) All such expenses relating to Leases executed before the Effective Date, which are solely payable with respect to and contingent upon renewal of any such Lease or expansion into additional space by the tenant under any such Lease after the Closing Date shall be the sole obligation of Purchaser, provided such expenses are disclosed in the Leases and commission agreements delivered to Purchaser during the Review Period. Any such expenses not so disclosed shall render Seller liable for any such expenses and, if Purchaser fails to receive reasonably acceptable evidence of payment (together with the release of any lien applicable thereto) on or before the Closing, Purchaser will receive a credit therefor against the Purchase Price.
(iii) Any such expenses relating to Leases executed between the Effective Date and Closing shall be borne by Seller and, if Purchaser fails to receive reasonably acceptable evidence of payment (together with the release of any lien applicable thereto) on or before the Closing, Purchaser will receive a credit therefor against the Purchase Price.

RISK OF LOSS
Section 11.01 Minor Damage . In the event of minor loss or damage, being defined for the purpose of this Contract as damage to the Property such that the Property could be repaired or restored, in the opinion of an architect mutually acceptable to Seller and Purchaser (with any fees, costs or expenses pertaining to such opinion to be borne equally by Purchaser and Seller), to a condition substantially identical to that of the Property immediately prior to the event of damage at a cost equal to or less than $250,000 and which would not permit any tenant to terminate its Lease, neither Seller nor Purchaser shall have the right to terminate this Contract as to the Property due to such damage but Seller shall, at Sellers option as expressed to Purchaser in writing, either (a) reduce the Purchase Price by an amount equal to the cost to repair such damage, or (b) repair and restore the damaged portion of the Property to a condition substantially identical to that which existed immediately prior to the occurrence of such damage and in either such event Seller shall retain all of Sellers right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty, rental loss and other insurance policies relating to the Property. If Seller elects to repair and restore the damaged portion of the Property, Seller shall act promptly and diligently to complete such repairs in a good and workmanlike manner and shall complete such repairs prior to the Closing Date if reasonably possible. If it is not reasonably possible to complete such repairs prior to the Closing Date, the parties will nonetheless proceed to the Closing, but Seller must give Purchaser a credit equal to the remaining cost to complete such repairs.
Section 11.02 Major Damage . In the event of a major loss or damage (being defined as any loss or damage which is not minor as defined hereinabove), Purchaser shall have the option of terminating this Contract by written notice to Seller, in which event Seller and Purchaser shall thereupon be released from any and all liability hereunder. If Purchaser elects not to terminate this Contract, Purchaser and Seller shall proceed with the Closing, provided Seller shall assign all of Sellers right, title and interest to any claims and proceeds Seller may have with respect to any casualty, rental loss and other insurance policies relating to the Property, and Purchaser shall receive a credit against the Purchase Price in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of any deductible(s) under the insurance policies assigned to Purchaser, together with the uninsured portion of any such damage.
Section 11.03 Vendor and Purchaser Risk . Except as set forth in Section 11.01 and Section 11.02, Seller shall bear the full risk of loss until Closing. Upon the Closing, full risk of loss with respect to the Property shall pass to Purchaser.
Section 11.04 Condemnation . If before the Closing any condemnation or eminent domain proceedings are threatened or initiated against all or any portion of the Property and, in the reasonable opinion of Purchaser, such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings would materially interfere with the current use of the Property, then Purchaser may terminate this Contract upon written notice to Seller and Seller and Purchaser shall thereupon be released from any and all further liability hereunder. If
19
Purchaser does not elect to terminate this Contract within ten (10) business days after receipt of written notice of the commencement of any such proceedings, or if, in the reasonable opinion of Purchaser, such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings would not materially interfere with Sellers current use of the Property, Seller shall assign to Purchaser at the Closing all rights and interest of Seller in and to any condemnation awards payable or to become payable on account of such condemnation or eminent domain proceedings.

2. NON-DISTURBANCE . If any action or proceeding is commenced by Lender for the foreclosure of the Security Instrument or the sale of the Property, Tenant shall not be named as a party therein unless such joinder shall be required by law, provided, however, such joinder shall not result in the termination of the Lease or disturb the Tenants possession or use of the premises demised thereunder, and the sale of the Property in any such action or proceeding and the exercise by Lender of any of its other rights under the Note or the Security Instrument shall be made subject to all rights of Tenant under the Lease, provided that at the time of the commencement of any such action or proceeding or at the time of any such sale or exercise of any such other rights Tenant shall not be in default under any of the terms, covenants or conditions of the Lease or of this Agreement on Tenants part to be observed or performed beyond any applicable notice or grace period.
3. ATTORNMENT . If Lender or any other subsequent purchaser of the Property shall become the owner of the Property by reason of the foreclosure of the Security Instrument or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or by reason of any other enforcement of the Security Instrument (Lender or such other purchaser being hereinafter referred as Purchaser), and the conditions set forth in Section 2 above have been met at the time Purchaser becomes owner of the Property, the Lease shall not be terminated or affected thereby but shall continue in full force and effect as a direct lease between Purchaser and Tenant upon all of the terms, covenants and conditions set forth in the Lease and in that event, Tenant agrees to attorn to Purchaser and Purchaser by virtue of such acquisition of the Property shall be deemed to have agreed to accept such attornment, whereupon, subject to the observance and performance by Tenant of all the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease on the part of Tenant to be observed and performed, Purchaser shall recognize the leasehold estate of Tenant under all of the terms, covenants and conditions of the Lease for the remaining balance of the term with the same force and effect as if Purchaser were the lessor under the Lease subject to the terms of Section 4 of this Agreement; provided, however, that Purchaser shall not be:
(a) liable for any past act, omission, neglect, default or breach of representation or warranty of any prior landlord (any such prior landlord, including Landlord and any successor landlord, being hereinafter referred to as a Prior Landlord), provided that so long as Purchaser has received written notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure, the foregoing shall not limit Purchasers obligations under the Lease to correct any conditions that (i) existed as of the date Purchaser became the owner of the Property, and (ii) violate Purchasers obligations under the Lease; provided further, however, that the foregoing shall not obligate Purchaser for any damages arising from such past act, omission, neglect, default or breach of representation or warranty of any Prior Landlord;
K-3
(b) subject to any offsets, defenses, abatements or counterclaims which shall have accrued in favor of Tenant against any Prior Landlord prior to the date upon which Purchaser shall become the owner of the Property;

(d) bound by any obligation which may appear in the Lease to perform any improvement work to the Property;
(e) bound by any obligation which may appear in the Lease to pay any sum of money to Tenant;
(f) bound by any payment of rents, additional rents or other sums which Tenant may have paid more than one (1) month in advance to any Prior Landlord unless (i) such sums are actually received by Purchaser or (ii) such prepayment shall have been expressly approved of by Purchaser;
(g) bound by any agreement terminating or amending or modifying the rent, term, commencement date or other material term of the Lease, or any voluntary surrender of the premises demised under the Lease, made without Lenders or Purchasers prior written consent prior to the time Purchaser succeeded to Landlords interest; or
(h) responsible for the making of repairs in or to the Property in the case of damage or destruction to the Property or any part thereof due to fire or other casualty or by reason of condemnation unless Purchaser is obligated under the Lease to make such repairs and Purchaser receives insurance proceeds or condemnation awards sufficient to finance the completion of such repairs.
In the event that any liability of Purchaser does arise pursuant to this Agreement, such liability shall be limited and restricted to Purchasers interest in the Property and shall in no event exceed such interest.
4. NOTICE TO TENANT . After notice is given to Tenant by Lender that an Event of Default (as defined in the Security Instrument) exists under the Security Instrument and that the rentals under the Lease should be paid to Lender pursuant to the terms of the Assignment of Rents, Tenant shall thereafter pay to Lender or as directed by the Lender, all rentals and all other monies due or to become due to Landlord under the Lease and Landlord hereby expressly authorizes Tenant to make such payments to Lender and hereby releases and discharges Tenant from any liability to Landlord on account of any such payments.
5. NOTICE TO LENDER AND RIGHT TO CURE . Tenant agrees to simultaneously notify Lender by certified mail, return receipt requested, with postage prepaid, of any default on the part of Landlord under the Lease which would entitle Tenant to cancel or terminate the Lease or abate or reduce the rent payable thereunder, and Tenant further agrees
K-4
that, notwithstanding any provisions of the Lease, no cancellation or termination of the Lease and no abatement or reduction of the rent payable thereunder shall be effective unless Lender has received notice of the same and has failed within forty-five (45) days after both Lenders receipt of said notice and the time when Lender shall have become entitled under the Security Instrument (as hereinafter defined) to remedy the same, to commence to cure the default which gave rise to the cancellation or termination of the Lease or abatement or reduction of the rent payable thereunder and thereafter diligently prosecutes such cure to completion, provided that in the event Lender cannot commence such cure without possession of the Property, no cancellation or termination of the Lease and no abatement or reduction of the rent payable thereunder shall be effective if Lender commences judicial or non-judicial proceedings to obtain possession within such period and thereafter diligently prosecutes such efforts and cure to completion. In addition, if such default is not susceptible of cure by Lender and Lender obtains possession of the Property, such default shall be waived. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender shall have no obligation to cure any default by Landlord except as provided in Section 3 in the event Lender shall become the owner of the Property by reason of the foreclosure of the Security Instrument or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure or by reason of any other enforcement of the Security Instrument.
