Until such time as such amendment shall have been executed and delivered by the Borrowers and the Agent, such financial covenants, ratio and other requirements, and all financial statements and other documents required to be delivered under the Loan Documents, shall be calculated and reported as if such change had not occurred.

§2.1 Loans.

(a) The Term Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date the Term Loan Lenders severally agree to make the Term Loan in the original principal amount of the Term Loan Facility Amount to the Borrowers.

(b) The Revolving Credit Loan. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each of the Revolving Credit Lenders severally agrees to lend to the Borrowers, and the Borrowers may borrow (and repay and reborrow) from time to time between the Closing Date and the Maturity Date upon notice by the Borrowers to the Agent given in accordance with §2.7, such sums as are requested by the Borrowers for the purposes set forth in §2.9 up to a maximum aggregate principal amount Outstanding (after giving effect to all amounts requested) at any one time equal to the lesser of (i) such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment and (ii) such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of (A) the Borrowing Base Availability minus (B) the sum of (1) the amount of all outstanding Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans, (2) the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities, and (3) the amount of all outstanding Term Loans; provided , that, in all events no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; and provided , further , that the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested), Swing Loans, Letter of Credit Liabilities, and Term Loans shall not at any time exceed the Total Commitment or cause a violation of the covenant set forth in §9.1. The Revolving Credit Loans shall be made pro rata in accordance with each Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage. Each request for a Revolving Credit Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrowers that all of the conditions required of Borrowers set forth in §10 and §11 have been satisfied on the date of such request (or if such condition is required to have been satisfied only as of the initial Closing Date, that such condition was satisfied as of the Closing Date). 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. No Revolving Credit Lender shall have any obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans to Borrowers in the maximum aggregate principal outstanding balance of more than the principal face amount of its Revolving Credit Note or its Revolving Credit Commitment, as applicable.

§2.2 Notes. The Loans shall, if requested by each Lender, be evidenced by separate promissory notes of the Borrowers in substantially the form of Exhibit A-1 hereto (with respect to Revolving Credit Loans) and Exhibit A-2 hereto (with respect to Term Loans) (collectively,

37

the “ Revolving Credit Notes ” and the “ Term Loan Notes ”, respectively), dated of even date with this Agreement (except as otherwise provided in §18.3) and completed with appropriate insertions. One Revolving Credit Note shall be payable to the order of each Revolving Credit Lender which so requests the issuance of a Revolving Credit Note in the principal amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment or, if less, the outstanding amount of all Revolving Credit Loans made by such Revolving Credit Lender, plus interest accrued thereon, as set forth below. One Term Loan Note shall be payable to the order of each Term Loan Lender which so requests the issuance of a Term Loan Note in the principal amount equal to such Term Loan Lender’s Term Loan Commitment.

§2.3 Facility Unused Fee. The Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent for the account of the Revolving Credit Lenders (other than any Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender) in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages a facility unused fee calculated at the rate per annum as set forth below on the actual daily amount by which the Revolving Credit Commitment exceeds the outstanding principal amount of Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Loans and the face amount of Letters of Credit Outstanding during each calendar quarter or portion thereof commencing on the date hereof and ending on the Maturity Date. The facility unused fee shall be calculated for each quarter based on the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (a) the actual daily amount of the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans and the face amount of Letters of Credit Outstanding during such quarter to (b) the Revolving Credit Commitment, and if such ratio is less than fifty percent (50%), the facility unused fee shall be payable at the rate of one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum, and if such ratio is equal to or greater than fifty percent (50%), the facility unused fee shall be payable at the rate of two tenths of one percent (0.20%) per annum. The facility unused fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the first (1 ^st ) Business 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 Maturity Date.

§2.4 Reduction and Termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrowers shall have the right at any time and from time to time upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent to reduce by $25,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $5,000,000.00 in excess thereof ( provided that in no event shall the Revolving Credit Commitment be reduced in such manner to an amount less than $75,000,000.00) or to terminate entirely the Revolving Credit Commitments, whereupon the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders shall be reduced pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages of the amount specified in such notice or, as the case may be, terminated, any such termination or reduction to be without penalty except as otherwise set forth in §4.8; provided , however , that no such termination or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, the sum of Outstanding Revolving Credit Loans, the Outstanding Swing Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities would exceed the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Revolving Credit Lenders as so terminated or reduced. Promptly after receiving any notice from the Borrowers delivered pursuant to this §2.4, the Agent will notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of the substance thereof. Any reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall also result in a proportionate reduction (rounded to the next lowest integral multiple of $100,000.00) in the maximum amount of the Swing Loan Commitment Amount and the Letter of Credit Sublimit, respectively. Upon the effective date of any such

38

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

§2.5 Swing Loan Commitment.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Swing Loan Lender agrees to lend to the Borrowers (the “ Swing Loans ”), and the Borrowers may borrow (and repay and reborrow) from time to time between the Closing Date and the date which is ten (10) Business Days prior to the Maturity Date upon notice by the Borrowers to the Swing Loan Lender given in accordance with this §2.5, such sums as are requested by the Borrowers for the purposes set forth in §2.9 in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not exceeding the Swing Loan Commitment; provided that in all events (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing; (ii) if a Revolving Credit Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender, the requested amount of the Swing Loan shall be reduced by the amount of such Defaulting Lender’s participation interest in the Swing Loan; (iii) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested) plus Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not at any time exceed the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments; and (iv) the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans and Swing Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested), plus Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (A) the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments or (B) the Borrowing Base Availability less the outstanding balance of the Term Loan. 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 Borrowers that all of the conditions set forth in §10 and §11 have been satisfied on the date of such funding (or if such condition is required to have been satisfied only as of the initial Closing Date, that such condition was satisfied as of the Closing Date) or waived by the Agent. 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 upon demand but in any event within five (5) days of the date such Swing Loan was provided and Borrowers hereby agree (to the extent not repaid as contemplated by §2.5(d) below) to repay each Swing Loan (whether or not demand for payment is made) on or before the date that is five (5) days from the date such Swing Loan was provided.

(b) The Swing Loans shall be evidenced by a separate promissory note of the Borrowers in substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (the “ Swing Loan Note ”), dated the date of this Agreement and completed with appropriate insertions. The Swing Loan Note shall be payable to the order of the Swing Loan Lender in the principal face amount equal to the Swing Loan Commitment and shall be payable as set forth below.

(c) Borrowers shall request a Swing Loan by delivering to the Swing Loan Lender a Loan Request executed by an Authorized Officer no later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern 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

39

certifications required by §2.7(i) and (ii). Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers and shall obligate the Borrowers to accept such Swing Loan on the Drawdown Date. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, a Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan and shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate. The proceeds of the Swing Loan will be disbursed by wire by the Swing Loan Lender to the Borrowers no later than 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the requested Drawdown Date.

(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 Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of the Swing Loan outstanding on the date such notice is given. In the event that the Borrowers do not notify the Agent in writing otherwise on or before noon (Eastern time) of the third (3 ^rd ) Day after the Drawdown Date with respect to such Swing Loan, Agent shall notify the Revolving Credit Lenders that such Revolving Credit Loan shall be a Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan with an Interest Period of one (1) month, provided that the making of such Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan will not be in contravention of any other provision of this Agreement, or if the making of a Revolving Credit 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. Borrowers hereby irrevocably authorize and direct 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 Agent’s Head Office prior to 12:00 noon (Eastern 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 Borrowers, 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) (including due to a Defaulting Lender’s failure to fund), 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 (or portion thereof). 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 Lender’s participation interest in a Swing Loan, or 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 Revolving Credit Lender’s participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided ,

40

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 Revolving Credit Lender’s 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 Lender or the Borrowers may have against the Swing Loan Lender, the Borrowers 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 the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by the Borrowers 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 Revolving Credit Lender as contemplated by §2.8 and §12.5, and shall have such rights and remedies against such Revolving Credit Lender as are set forth in §2.8, §12.5, and §14.5. 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.

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

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

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

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

(e) The Borrowers promise to pay interest on each Loan in arrears on each Interest Payment Date with respect thereto.

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

41

(g) The parties understand that the applicable interest rate for the Loans and certain fees set forth herein may be determined and/or adjusted from time to time based upon certain financial ratios and/or other information to be provided or certified to the Lenders by Borrowers (the “ Borrower Information ”). If it is subsequently determined that any such Borrower Information was incorrect (for whatever reason, including without limitation because of a subsequent restatement of earnings by the Borrower) at the time it was delivered to the Agent, and if the applicable interest rate or fees calculated for any period were different than they should have been had the correct information been timely provided, then, such interest rate and such fees for such period shall be automatically recalculated using correct Borrower Information. The Agent shall promptly notify Borrowers in writing of any additional interest and fees due because of such recalculation, and the Borrowers shall pay such additional interest or fees due to the Agent, for the account of each Lender, within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such written notice. Borrowers shall receive a credit or refund of any overpayment promptly after such determination. Any recalculation of interest or fees required by this provision shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days, and this provision shall not in any way limit any of the Agent’s, the Issuing Lender’s, or any Lender’s other rights under this Agreement.

§2.7 Requests for Revolving Credit Loans. Except with respect to the initial Revolving Credit Loan on the Closing Date, the Borrowers shall give to the Agent written notice executed by an Authorized Officer in the form of Exhibit D hereto (or telephonic notice confirmed in writing in the form of Exhibit D hereto) of each Revolving Credit Loan requested hereunder (a “ Loan Request ”) by 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) one (1) Business Day prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans and two (2) Business Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loans, together with an executed Borrowing Base Availability Certificate in the form of Exhibit F . Each such notice shall specify with respect to the requested Revolving Credit Loan the proposed principal amount of such Revolving Credit Loan, the Type of Revolving Credit Loan, the initial Interest Period (if applicable) for such Revolving Credit Loan and the Drawdown Date. Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall notify each of the Revolving Credit Lenders thereof. Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrowers and shall obligate the Borrowers to accept the Revolving Credit Loan requested from the Revolving Credit Lenders on the proposed Drawdown Date. Nothing herein shall prevent the Borrowers 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. Each Loan Request shall be (a) for a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $100,000.00; or (b) for a Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of $500,000.00; provided , however , that there shall be no more than seven (7) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time.

§2.8 Funds for Loans.

(a) Not later than noon (Eastern time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loans, each of the Revolving Credit Lenders will make available to the Agent, at the Agent’s Head Office, in immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of the amount of the requested Loans which may be disbursed pursuant to §2.1. Upon receipt from each such Revolving Credit Lender of such

42

amount, and upon receipt of the documents required by §10 and §11 and the satisfaction of the other conditions set forth therein (except, in each case, to the extent waived by Agent) to the extent applicable, the Agent will make available to the Borrowers 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 Borrowers maintained at the Agent’s Head Office or wiring such funds in accordance with Borrowers’ written instructions. 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 Revolving Credit 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 Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of any requested Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit Lender so failing or refusing. 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 as against the Revolving Credit Lender or Revolving Credit Lenders so failing or refusing to make available to the Borrowers the amount of its or their Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage for such Revolving Credit Loans as provided in §12.5.

(b) Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Drawdown Date that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of a proposed Loan, Agent may in its discretion assume that such Lender has made such Loan available to Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and the Agent may, if it chooses, in reliance upon such assumption make such Loan available to the Borrowers, and such Lender shall be liable to the Agent for the amount of such advance. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount upon the Agent’s demand therefor, the Agent will promptly notify the Borrowers, and the Borrowers shall promptly pay such corresponding amount to the Agent. The Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Lender or the Borrowers (without duplication), 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 Borrowers to the date such corresponding amount is recovered by the Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrowers at the applicable rate for such Loan or (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

§2.9 Use of Proceeds. The Borrowers will use the proceeds of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Term Loans, and the Letters of Credit solely to (a) pay closing costs in connection with this Agreement and the related Transaction Costs in connection with the Transactions; (b) repay then existing loans including the Huntington Bank Credit Facility and the Regions Bank Credit Facility; (c) fund the direct or indirect acquisition of additional Multifamily Properties located within the fifty (50) States of the continental United States or the District of Columbia, (d) fund capital and construction expenditures, tenant improvements, leasing or other commissions and property and equipment acquisitions within the fifty (50) States of the continental United States or the District of Columbia; and (e) for general working capital purposes (including without limitation to finance interest shortfalls, general operating expenses, including without limitation taxes, insurance and other expenses, and the payment of fees and expenses related to the Facility).

§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 thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date, the Issuing Lender shall issue such Letters of Credit as the Borrowers may request upon the delivery of a written request in the form of Exhibit E 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 the Letter of Credit Sublimit, which Letter of Credit Sublimit shall be automatically increased on a pro rata basis with increases in the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments, (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 aggregate Revolving Credit Commitment, (iv) in no event shall the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, Swing Loans, Letters of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to any requested Letters of Credit), and the Term Loans exceed the Total Commitment or the Borrowing Base Availability or cause a violation of the covenant set forth in §9.1, (v) the conditions set forth in §10 and §11 shall have been satisfied (or if such condition is required to have been satisfied only as of the Closing Date, that such condition was satisfied as of the Closing Date) or waived by Agent, (vi) no Revolving Credit Lender is a Defaulting Lender (provided Issuing Lender may, in its sole discretion, be entitled to waive this condition), unless the Issuing Lender has entered into arrangements, including the delivery of cash collateral, satisfactory to the Issuing Lender (in its sole discretion) with the Borrowers or such Defaulting Lender to eliminate the Issuing Lender’s actual or potential Fronting Exposure with respect to the Defaulting Lender arising from either the Letter of Credit then proposed to be issued or that Letter of Credit and all other Letter of Credit Liabilities as to which the Issuing Lender has actual or potential Fronting Exposure, as it may elect in its sole discretion, and (vii) in no event shall any amount drawn under a Letter of Credit be available for reinstatement or a subsequent drawing under such Letter of Credit. The Issuing Lender may assume that the conditions in §10 and §11 have been satisfied unless it receives written notice from a Revolving Credit Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied. Each Letter of Credit Request shall be executed by an Authorized Officer of Borrowers. The Issuing Lender shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Person’s authority to request a Letter of Credit on behalf of Borrowers. The Issuing Lender shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of any signature appearing on a Letter of Credit Request. The Borrowers assume all risks with respect to the use of the Letters of Credit. Unless the Issuing Lender and the Required Lenders otherwise consent, the term of any Letter of Credit shall not exceed a period of time commencing on the issuance of the Letter of Credit and ending one year after the date of issuance thereof, subject to extension pursuant to an “evergreen” clause reasonably acceptable to Agent and Issuing Lender (but in any event the term shall not extend beyond thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date) unless the Borrowers have provided to Agent cash collateral reasonably acceptable to the Agent in an amount equal to the Letter of Credit Liability with respect to any Letter of Credit which extends beyond thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date). The amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit shall reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis the amount available to be drawn under the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments as a Revolving Credit Loan.

44

(b) Each Letter of Credit Request shall be submitted to the Issuing Lender at least three (3) 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 an Authorized Officer or the chief financial or chief accounting officer of Parent Borrower that the Borrowers 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 Borrowers shall further deliver to the Issuing Lender such additional applications (which application as of the date hereof is in the form of Exhibit I hereto) and documents as the Issuing Lender may reasonably require, in conformity with the then standard practices of its letter of credit department applicable to all or substantially all similarly situated borrowers, 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 three (3) 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 Lender’s obligation to participate in a Letter of Credit shall be affected by any other Revolving Credit Lender’s failure to perform as required herein with respect to such Letter of Credit or any other Letter of Credit.

(e) Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrowers shall pay to the Issuing Lender (i) for its own account, a Letter of Credit fronting fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, at a rate equal to the greater of (a) a one time fee of one eighth of one percent (0.125%), computed on the face amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit, or (b) Fifteen Hundred Dollars ($1,500.00), and (ii) for the accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders (including the Issuing Lender) in accordance with their respective percentage shares of participation in such Letter of Credit, a Letter of Credit fee calculated at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then applicable to Revolving Credit 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 (1 ^st ) 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 (if such letter of credit is outstanding less than a full quarter, such fee shall be prorated for the period of time outstanding). In addition, the Borrowers shall pay to Issuing Lender for its own account within ten (10) Business Days of demand of Issuing Lender the standard issuance, documentation and service charges applicable to all or substantially all similarly situated borrowers for Letters of Credit issued from time to time by Issuing Lender.

45

(f) In the event that any amount is drawn under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Borrowers shall reimburse the Issuing Lender by having such amount drawn treated as an outstanding Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan under this Agreement (Borrowers 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 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 Lender’s own account, an amount equal to such Revolving Credit Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage of such Letter of Credit (to the extent of the amount drawn). Borrowers further hereby irrevocably authorize and direct Agent to notify the Revolving Credit Lenders of Borrowers’ intent to convert such Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan to a Revolving Credit 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 Revolving Credit 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 Lender’s payment of funds under a Letter of Credit and thereafter the Issuing Lender receives any payment on account thereof, then the

46

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 Lender’s participation interest was outstanding and funded); provided , however , that in the event that such payment received by the Issuing Lender is required to be returned, such Revolving Credit Lender will return to the Issuing Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.

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

(j) Borrowers assume all risks of the acts, omissions, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. Neither Agent, Issuing Lender nor any Lender will be responsible for (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Letter of Credit or any document submitted by any party in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with the conditions required in order to demand payment under a Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required by or from a beneficiary in order to make a disbursement under a Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and (viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Agent or any Lender, none of the foregoing will affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the rights or powers granted to Agent, Issuing Lender or the Lenders hereunder. In furtherance and extension and not in limitation or derogation of any of the foregoing, any act taken or omitted to be taken by Agent, Issuing Lender or the other Lenders in good faith will be binding on Borrowers and will not put Agent, Issuing Lender or the other Lenders under any resulting liability to Borrowers; provided nothing contained herein shall relieve Issuing Lender, Agent or any Lender for liability to Borrowers arising as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Issuing Lender, Agent or any Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods.

§2.11 Increase in Total Commitment.

(a) Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this §2.11, the Borrowers shall have the option at any time and from time to time before the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the Maturity Date (or the extended maturity date if Borrowers exercise their extension option pursuant to §2.12) to request an increase in the Total Commitment to an amount not greater than Four Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($450,000,000.00) by giving written notice to the Agent (an “ Increase Notice ”; and the amount of such requested increase is the “ Commitment Increase ”), with such Commitment Increase being allocated to the Revolving Credit Facility and/or the Term

47

Loan Facility in such fashion as the Borrowers may designate; provided that any such individual increase must be in a minimum amount of $25,000,000.00. Upon receipt of any Increase Notice, the Agent shall consult with Arranger and shall notify the Borrowers of the amount of facility fees to be paid to any Lenders who provide an additional Commitment in connection with such increase in the Total Commitment (which shall be in addition to the fees to be paid to Agent or Arranger pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Fees). If the Borrowers agree to pay the facility fees so determined, then the Agent shall send a notice to all Lenders (the “ Additional Commitment Request Notice ”) informing them of the Borrowers’ request to increase the Total Commitment, the applicable Facility to be increased, and of the facility fees to be paid with respect thereto. Each Lender who desires to provide an additional Commitment upon such terms shall provide Agent with a written commitment letter specifying the amount of the additional Commitment by which it is willing to provide prior to such deadline as may be specified in the Additional Commitment Request Notice. If the requested increase is oversubscribed then the Agent and the Arranger shall allocate the Commitment Increase among the Lenders who provide such commitment letters on such basis mutually acceptable to each of the Borrowers, Agent and Arranger. If the additional Commitments so provided are not sufficient to provide the full amount of the Commitment Increase requested by the Borrowers, then the Agent, Arranger or Borrowers may, but shall not be obligated to, invite, and the Agent, in consultation with the Parent Borrower, will use its reasonable efforts to arrange for, one or more banks or lending institutions (which banks or lending institutions shall be reasonably acceptable to Agent, Arranger and Parent Borrower) to become a Lender and provide an additional Commitment. The Agent shall provide all Lenders with a notice setting forth the amount, if any, of the additional Commitment to be provided by each Lender and the revised Commitment Percentages (as well as the revised Maximum Facility Amount and the revised amount of the Letter of Credit Sublimit and the Swing Loan Commitment, respectively) which shall be applicable after the effective date of the Commitment Increase specified therein (the “ Commitment Increase Date ”). In no event shall any Lender be obligated to provide an additional Commitment.

(b) On any Commitment Increase Date the outstanding principal balance of the applicable Loans shall be reallocated among the Lenders such that after the applicable Commitment Increase Date the outstanding principal amount of Loans owed to each Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage and/or Term Loan Commitment Percentage, as applicable, (as in effect after the applicable Commitment Increase Date) of the outstanding principal amount of all applicable Loans. The participation interests of the Revolving Credit Lenders in Swing Loans and Letters of Credit shall be similarly adjusted as applicable. On any Commitment Increase Date those Lenders whose applicable Commitment Percentage is increasing shall advance the funds to the Agent and the funds so advanced shall be distributed among the Lenders whose applicable Commitment Percentage is decreasing as necessary to accomplish the required reallocation of the outstanding Loans. The funds so advanced shall be Base Rate Loans until converted to LIBOR Rate Loans which are allocated among all Lenders based on their applicable Revolving Credit Commitment Percentages and/or Term Loan Commitment Percentages, after giving effect to any Commitment Increase, as reasonably determined by Agent.

(c) Upon the effective date of each increase in the Total Commitment pursuant to this §2.11 the Agent may unilaterally revise Schedule 1.1 and the Borrowers shall, if requested by such Lender, execute and deliver to the Agent new Notes for each Lender whose

48

Commitment has changed so that the principal amount of such Lender’s applicable Notes shall equal its Commitment. The Agent shall deliver such replacement Notes to the respective Lenders in exchange for the Notes replaced thereby which shall be surrendered by such Lenders. Such new Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Notes and that they do not constitute a novation, shall be dated as of the Commitment Increase Date and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the replaced Notes.

(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any obligation of the Agent and the Lenders to increase the Total Commitment pursuant to this §2.11 shall be conditioned upon satisfaction or waiver of the following conditions precedent which must be satisfied or waived prior to the effectiveness of any increase of the Total Commitment:

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

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

(iii) Representations True . The representations and warranties made by the Borrowers and Guarantors, respectively, in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Borrowers and Guarantors, respectively, in connection therewith shall also be true and correct in all material respects on the date of such Increase Notice and on the date the Total Commitment is increased, both immediately before and after the Total Commitment is increased, unless such representations and warranties are by their terms limited to a specified date; and

(iv) Additional Documents and Expenses . The Borrowers and Guarantors shall execute and deliver to Agent and the Lenders such additional documents (including, without limitation, amendments to the Security Documents), instruments, certifications and opinions as the Agent may reasonably require, including, without limitation, a Compliance Certificate, demonstrating compliance with all covenants set forth in the Loan Documents after giving effect to the increase, and the Borrowers shall pay the cost of any mortgagee’s 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 reasonable and documented fees, taxes or expenses which are reasonably requested in connection with such increase.

§2.12 Extension of Maturity Date. The Borrowers shall have the right and option to extend the Maturity Date to September 17, 2019, and then to September 17, 2020, upon

(f) Appraisals . Agent at its option, or at the direction of the Required Lenders, shall have obtained at Borrowers’ expense new Appraisals and determined the current Appraised Values of the Collateral Properties.

§3.1 Stated Maturity. The Borrowers promise to pay on the Maturity Date and there shall become absolutely due and payable on the Maturity Date all of the Revolving Credit Loans, Term Loans, Swing Loans and other Letter of Credit Liabilities outstanding on such date (other than Letters of Credit whose expiration date is beyond the Maturity Date as set forth in §2.10(a)), together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.

§3.2 Mandatory Prepayments.

(a) If at any time 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

50

of (a) the amount of the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments or (b) the sum of (i) the Borrowing Base Availability, less (ii) the outstanding balance of the Term Loans, then the Borrowers shall, within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of notice from Agent of such occurrence pay the amount of such excess to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Revolving Credit Lenders, as applicable, for application to the Revolving Credit Loans as provided in §3.4, together with any additional amounts payable pursuant to §4.8, except that the amount of any Swing Loans shall be paid solely to the Swing Loan Lender, subject to §3.2(c).

§3.3 Optional Prepayments.

(a) Borrowers shall have the right, at its election, to prepay the outstanding amount of the Loans and Swing Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time without penalty or premium; provided, that if any prepayment of the outstanding amount of any LIBOR Rate Loans pursuant to this §3.3 is made on a date that is not the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto, such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of any amounts due pursuant to §4.8.

(b) The Borrowers shall give the Agent, no later than 1:00 p.m. (Eastern time) at least three (3) days prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this §3.3, in each case specifying the proposed date of prepayment of the Loans and the principal amount to be prepaid (provided that (i) any such notice may be revoked or modified upon one (1) day’s prior notice to the Agent) and/or (ii) any such notice or repayment may be conditioned upon the consummation of a transaction.

(a) The Borrowers may elect from time to time to convert any of its outstanding Loans to a Loan of another Type and such Loans shall thereafter bear interest as a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan, as applicable; provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan, the Borrowers shall give the Agent at least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice of such election, and such conversion shall only be made on the last day of the Interest Period with respect to such LIBOR Rate Loan unless the Borrowers pay Breakage Costs as required under this Agreement; (ii) with respect to any such conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrowers shall give the Agent at least three (3) LIBOR Business Days’ prior written notice of such election and the Interest Period requested for such Loan, the principal amount of the Loan so converted shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $100,000.00 and, after giving effect to the making of such Loan, there shall be no more than seven (7) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time; and (iii) no Loan may be converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan when any Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

On the date on which such conversion is being made, each Lender shall take such action as is necessary to transfer its Commitment Percentage of such Loans to its Domestic Lending Office or its LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be. Each Conversion/Continuation Request relating to the conversion of a Base Rate Loan to a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be irrevocable by the Borrowers.

(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 Borrowers 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 Borrowers do not notify the Agent of their election hereunder with respect to any LIBOR Rate Loan, such Loan shall be automatically continued at the end of the applicable Interest Period as a LIBOR Rate Loan for an Interest Period of one (1) month unless such Interest Period shall be greater than the time remaining until the Maturity Date, in which case such Loan shall be automatically converted to a Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period.

52

§4.2 Fees. In addition to all fees specified herein, the Borrowers agree to pay to KeyBank and the Arranger for their own account certain fees for services rendered or to be rendered in connection with the Loans as provided pursuant to a fee letter dated June 24, 2015 between the Borrowers, KeyBank and the Arranger (the “ Agreement Regarding Fees ”).

§4.3 [Reserved].

§4.4 Funds for Payments.

(a) All payments of principal, interest, facility fees, closing fees and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made to the Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders and the Agent, as the case may be, at the Agent’s Head Office, not later than 3:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the day when due (or such later time as is acceptable to the Agent in the event of a payment in full of all Loans and a termination of Commitments hereunder), in each case in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds. Subject to the foregoing, all payments made to Agent on behalf of the Lenders, and actually received by Agent, shall be deemed received by the Lenders on the date actually received by Agent.

(b) All payments by the Borrowers hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction or withholding for any Taxes , excluding any income Taxes, franchise or similar Taxes and any Taxes imposed by a jurisdiction (i) as a result of the Agent or Lender being organized under the laws of, or having its principal office or, in the case of any Lender, its applicable lending office located in, the jurisdiction imposing such Tax (or any political subdivision thereof) or (ii) as a result of any present or former connection between the Agent or a Lender and such jurisdiction other than any connection arising solely from executing, delivering, performing its obligations under, or enforcing any Loan Document (such Taxes, other than those so excluded as specifically set forth in this sentence and elsewhere in this §4.4(b), referred to as “ Non-Excluded Taxes ”), unless the Borrowers are required by law to make such deduction or withholding. If any such obligation is imposed upon the Borrowers with respect to any amount payable by the Borrowers hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrowers 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, after such deduction or withholding has been made, 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 Borrowers; provided, however, that the Borrowers shall not be required to increase any such amounts payable to any Lender with respect to any Non-Excluded Taxes (i) that are attributable to such Lender’s failure to comply with the requirements of §4.4(c); (ii) that are branch profits taxes imposed by the United States or any similar taxes imposed by any other jurisdiction under the laws of which a Lender is organized or in which its applicable lending office is located; (iii) in the case of a Non-U.S. Lender and notwithstanding any consent given pursuant to §18.1, that are imposed on amounts payable to such Lender pursuant to a law in effect on the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement (or designates a new lending office), except to the extent that such Lender (or its assignor, if any) was entitled, at the time of designation of a new lending office (or assignment)

53

to receive additional amounts from the Borrowers with respect to such Non-Excluded Taxes pursuant to this §4.4(b); or (iv) that are U.S. federal withholding Taxes imposed under FATCA. The Borrowers shall indemnify each of the Agent and the Lenders, as applicable, within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any Non-Excluded (including Non-Excluded Taxes imposed or asserted on or attributable to amounts payable under this §4) payable or paid by the Agent or Lenders or required to be withheld or deducted from a payment to such the Agent or Lenders and any reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Non-Excluded Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrowers by a Lender (with a copy to the Agent), or by the Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender, shall be conclusive absent manifest error. The Borrowers 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 Borrowers hereunder or under any other Loan Document. In the event a Lender receives a refund or credit of any Non-Excluded Taxes paid by the Borrowers pursuant to this section, such Lender will pay to the Borrowers the amount of such refund or credit (and any interest received with respect thereto) promptly upon receipt thereof; provided that if at any time thereafter such Lender is required to return such refund or credit, the Borrowers shall promptly repay to such Lender the amount of such refund or credit, net of any reasonable incremental additional costs.

(c) If a Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding Tax with respect to payments made under any Loan Document it shall deliver to the Borrowers, at the time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers, such properly completed and executed documentation reasonably requested by the Borrowers as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced rate of withholding. In addition, if reasonably requested by the Borrowers the Lender shall deliver such other documentation prescribed by applicable law or reasonably requested by the Borrowers as will enable the Borrower or to determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or information reporting requirements. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, each Lender that is not a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S. federal income tax purposes (a “ Non-U.S. Lender ”), to the extent such Lender is lawfully able to do so, shall provide the Borrowers on or prior to the Closing Date (in the case of each Lender listed on the signature pages hereof on the Closing Date) or on or prior to the date of the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement pursuant to which it becomes a Lender (in the case of each other Lender), and at such other times as may be necessary in the determination of the Borrowers, with (x) two (2) original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI and/or W-8IMY (or, in each case, any successor forms), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and any other such duly executed form(s) or statement(s) (including whether such Lender has complied with the FATCA) which may, from time to time, be prescribed by law and, which, pursuant to applicable provisions of (i) an income tax treaty between the United States and the country of residence of such Lender, (ii) the Code, or (iii) any applicable rules or regulations in effect under (i) or (ii) above, establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of principal, interest, fees or other amounts payable under any of the Loan Documents, or (y) if such Lender is not a “bank” or other Person described in Section 881(c)(3) of the Code, a Certificate Regarding Non-Bank Status together with two (2) original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form),

54

properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Code and requested by the Borrowers to establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to any payments to such Lender of interest payable under any of the Loan Documents. Each Lender that is a United States Person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for United States federal income tax purposes (a “ U.S. Lender ”) shall provide the Borrowers on or prior to the Closing Date (or, if later, on or prior to the date on which such Lender becomes a party to this Agreement) two (2) original copies of Internal Revenue Service From W-9 (or any successor form), properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, certifying that such U.S. Lender is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding tax, or otherwise prove that it is entitled to such an exemption. If a payment made to a Lender under any Loan Document would be subject to U.S. federal withholding Tax imposed by FATCA if such Lender were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in Section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), such Lender shall deliver to the Borrowers at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Borrowers 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 Borrowers as may be necessary for the Borrowers to comply with their obligations under FATCA and to determine that such Lender has complied with such Lender’s obligations under FATCA or to determine the amount to deduct and withhold from such payment (for purposes of this sentence, “FATCA” shall include any amendments made to FATCA after the date of this Agreement). Each Lender required to deliver any forms, certificates or other evidence with respect to United States federal income tax withholding matters pursuant to this section hereby agrees, from time to time after the initial delivery by such Lender of such forms, certificates or other evidence, whenever a lapse in time or change in circumstances renders such forms, certificates or other evidence obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, that such Lender shall promptly provide the Borrowers two (2) new original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E, W-8ECI and/or W-8IMY (or, in each case, any successor form), a Certificate Regarding Non-Bank Status and two (2) original copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or any successor form), or any documentation required under applicable reporting requirements of FATCA, as the case may be, properly completed and duly executed by such Lender, and such other documentation required under the Code and requested by the Borrowers to confirm or establish that such Lender is not subject to deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax with respect to payments to such Lender under the Loan Documents, or notify the Borrowers of its inability to deliver any such forms, certificates or other evidence.

(d) In the event it is reasonably necessary to determine the fair market value of the Commitments, Loans and/or other obligations under the Loan Documents for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.1273-2(f), the Agent shall assist Parent Borrower as reasonably requested in connection with making such determination (including by using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain quotes and sales prices for the Commitments, Loans and/or other obligations), and the Agent shall promptly make any such determination by Parent Borrower available to the Lenders in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.1273-2(f)(9).

(e) The obligations of the Borrowers to the Lenders under this Agreement (and of the Revolving Credit Lenders to make payments to the Issuing Lender with respect to

55

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 Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting) or the Lenders (other than the defense of payment to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any other person, whether in connection with any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any unrelated transaction; (iv) any draft, demand, certificate, statement or any other documents presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be insufficient, forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (v) any breach of any agreement between Borrowers or any of their Subsidiaries or Affiliates and any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit; (vi) any irregularity in the transaction with respect to which any Letter of Credit is issued, including any fraud by the beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit; (vii) payment by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a sight draft, demand, certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, provided that such payment shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods; (viii) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit; (ix) the legality, validity, form, regularity or enforceability of the Letter of Credit; (x) the failure of any payment by Issuing Lender to conform to the terms of a Letter of Credit (if, in Issuing Lender’s good faith judgment, such payment is determined to be appropriate); (xi) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (xii) the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default; and (xiii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, provided that nothing contained herein shall relieve Issuing Lender, Agent or any Lender for liability to Borrowers arising as a result of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender, Agent, any Lender or the Swing Loan Lender, as applicable as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods.

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

§4.6 Suspension of LIBOR Rate Loans. In the event that, prior to the commencement of any Interest Period relating to any LIBOR Rate Loan, the Agent shall 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 Borrowers and the Lenders absent manifest error) to the Borrowers 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 Borrowers and the Lenders.

§4.7 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any Change in Law shall make it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority having or claiming 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 Borrowers 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 reasonable judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially disadvantageous to such Lender or increase any costs payable by Borrowers hereunder.

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

§4.9 Additional Costs, Etc. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any Change in Law, shall:

(a) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any reserve requirement reflected in determining LIBOR) or Issuing Lender;

57

(b) subject Agent, Issuing Lender, or any Lender to any Tax (other than Taxes addressed by §4.4(b)) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligations, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto; or

(c) impose on any Lender or Issuing Lender or the London interbank market any other condition, cost or expense (other than Taxes) affecting this Agreement or Loans made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein; or

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

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

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

(iii) to require any Lender, Issuing 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, Issuing Lender, or the Agent from the Borrowers hereunder,

then, and in each such case, the Borrowers will (and as to clauses (a) and (b) above, subject to the provisions of §4.4), within thirty (30) 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, Issuing Lender, or the Agent shall reasonably determine in good faith to be sufficient to compensate such Lender, Issuing Lender, or the Agent for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone interest or other sum. For the avoidance of doubt, the provisions of this §4.9 shall not apply with respect to Taxes, which shall be governed by §4.4(b) and §4.4(c).

§4.10 Capital Adequacy. If after the date hereof any Lender (or Issuing Lender) determines that (a) as a result of a Change in Law, or (b) compliance by such Lender (or Issuing Lender) or its parent bank holding company with any directive of any such entity regarding liquidity or capital adequacy, has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s (or Issuing Lender’s) or such holding company’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s commitment to make Loans or participate in Letters of Credit hereunder (or for the Issuing Bank to issue the Letters of Credit), to a level below that which such Lender (or Issuing Lender) or holding company could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s (or Issuing Lender’s) or such holding company’s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender (or Issuing Lender) to be material, then such

58

Lender (or Issuing Lender) may notify the Borrowers thereof. The Borrowers agree to pay to such Lender (or Issuing Lender) the amount of such reduction in the return on capital as and when such reduction is reasonably determined, upon presentation by such Lender (or Issuing Lender) of a statement of the amount setting forth the Lender’s (or Issuing Lender’s) calculation thereof. In determining such amount, such Lender (or Issuing Lender) may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender (or Issuing Lender).

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

§4.12 Default Interest; 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 three percent (3.0%) above the interest rate that would otherwise be in effect hereunder (the “ Default Rate ”), until such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment). In addition, the Borrowers shall pay a late charge equal to three percent (3.0%) of any amount of interest and/or principal payable on the Loans (other than amounts due on the Maturity Date or as a result of acceleration), which is not paid by the Borrowers within ten (10) days of the date when due.

§4.13 Certificate. A certificate setting forth any amounts payable pursuant to §4.8, §4.9, §4.10, §4.11 or §4.12 and a reasonably detailed explanation of such amounts which are due, submitted by any Lender or the Agent to the Borrowers, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. A Lender shall be entitled to reimbursement under §4.9, or §4.10 from and after notice to Borrowers that such amounts are due given in accordance with §4.9 or §4.10 and for a period of nine (9) months prior to receipt of such notice.

§4.14 Limitation on Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, all agreements between or among the Borrowers, 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 Borrowers. 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 Borrowers, the Lenders and the Agent.

59

§4.15 Certain Provisions Relating to Increased Costs and Non-Funding Lenders. If a Lender gives notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.7 or any Lender requests compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §4.4(b), §4.9 or §4.10, then, upon the request of the Borrowers, such Lender, as applicable, shall use reasonable efforts in a manner consistent with such institution’s practice in connection with loans like the Loan of such Lender to eliminate, mitigate or reduce amounts that would otherwise be payable by Borrowers under the foregoing provisions, provided that such action would not be otherwise prejudicial to such Lender, including, without limitation, by designating another of such Lender’s offices, branches or affiliates; the Borrowers 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 (a) has given notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.7 or has requested payment or compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions of §4.4(b), §4.9 or §4.10 and following the request of Borrowers has been unable to take the steps described above to mitigate such amounts (each, an “ Affected Lender ”) or (b) has failed to make available to Agent its pro rata share of any Loan or participation in a Letter of Credit or Swing Loan and such failure has not been cured (a “ Non-Funding Lender ”), then, within ninety (90) days after such notice or request for payment or compensation or failure to fund, as applicable, Borrowers shall have the one-time right as to such Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, within ninety (90) days of receipt of such notice or failure to fund, as applicable, to elect to cause the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, to transfer its Commitment. The Agent shall promptly notify the remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders shall have the right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the Commitment, pro rata based upon their relevant Commitment Percentages, of the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable (or if any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders in such proportion as approved by the Agent). In the event that the Lenders do not elect to acquire all of the Affected Lender’s or Non-Funding Lender’s Commitment, then the Agent shall endeavor to obtain a new Lender to acquire such remaining Commitment. Upon any such purchase of the Commitment of the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, the Affected Lender’s or Non-Funding Lender’s interest in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and under the Loan Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer such interest. The purchase price for the Affected Lender’s or Non-Funding Lender’s Commitment shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by Borrowers to the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, including principal, prepayment premium or fee, and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees.

§5.1 Collateral. The Obligations and the Hedge Obligations (subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of Mortgages) shall be secured by a perfected first priority lien and

60

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, and in each case subject to Permitted Liens. The initial Collateral Properties are listed on Schedule 5.3 .

§5.2 Appraisals; Adjusted Value.

(a) In the event that Borrowers elect to extend the Maturity Date as provided in §2.12, at Agent’s option, or at the direction of the Required Lenders, the Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, obtain current Appraisals of each of the Collateral Properties. In any such case, such Appraisals will be ordered by Agent and reviewed and approved by the appraisal department of the Agent and Required Lenders, in their reasonable discretion, in order to determine the current Appraised Value of the Collateral Properties, and the Borrowers shall pay to Agent within ten (10) Business Days of demand (but no later than the then applicable Maturity Date) all reasonable and documented costs of such Appraisals.

(b) Without limiting the provisions of §5.2(a), the Agent may, for the purpose of determining the current Appraised Value of the Collateral Properties, obtain new Appraisals or an update to existing Appraisals with respect to such property, or any of them, as the Agent shall reasonably determine: (i) once during (x) any twelve (12) month period or (y) any time when Agent reasonably determines that a material event has occurred with respect to any Collateral Property to update the Appraised Value of any one or more Collateral Properties for purposes of determining Borrowing Base Availability. The reasonable and documented expense of such Appraisals and/or updates performed pursuant to this §5.2(b) shall be borne by the Borrowers and payable to Agent within ten (10) Business Days of demand, provided that prior to an Event of Default, the Borrowers shall not be required to pay for any Appraisal for any Collateral Property pursuant to this §5.2(b) more than once in any twenty-four (24)-month period.

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

§5.3 Addition of Collateral Properties. After the Closing Date, Parent Borrower shall have the right, subject to the consent of the Agent and the Required Lenders and the satisfaction by Parent Borrower of the conditions set forth in this §5.3, to add Potential Collateral to the Collateral. In the event Parent Borrower desires to add additional Potential Collateral as aforesaid, Parent Borrower shall provide written notice to the Agent of such request (which the Agent shall promptly furnish to the Lenders), together with all documentation and other information reasonably required to permit the Agent to determine whether such Real Estate is Eligible Real Estate (which the Agent shall promptly furnish to any Lender requesting same). Thereafter, the Agent shall have ten (10) Business Days from the date of the receipt of such

61

documentation and other information to advise Parent Borrower whether the necessary Lender consent to the acceptance of such Potential Collateral has been received. If a Lender shall fail to respond to Agent within such ten (10) Business Day period, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved such proposed Potential Collateral. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Potential Collateral shall be included as Collateral unless and until the following conditions precedent shall have been satisfied:

(i) the proposed Real Estate shall be Eligible Real Estate;

(ii) the owner of the Eligible Real Estate (to the extent not already party to this Agreement) shall have executed a Joinder Agreement and satisfied the conditions of §5.5 and shall have provided all “know your customer” and other materials reasonably requested by Agent to ensure that each such Person is in compliance with §6.1(e);

(iii) Parent Borrower or the owner of the Eligible Real Estate shall have executed and delivered to the Agent all Eligible Real Estate Qualification Documents, all of which instruments, documents or agreements shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent and the Required Lenders together with an executed Borrowing Base Availability Certificate in the form of Exhibit F ;

(iv) after giving effect to the inclusion of such Potential Collateral in connection with each requested Advance, each of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement, the other Loan Documents or in any document or instrument delivered pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the time of the addition to (or replacement of) the Collateral properties (it being understood and agreed that any representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to be true and correct only as of such specified date) and no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and the Agent shall have received a certificate of Parent Borrower to such effect;

(v) the Borrowers shall have designated such Real Estate as a Collateral Property; and

(vi) Approval of the inclusion of such Eligible Real Estate as a Collateral Property by the Agent and the Required Lenders.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event such Subsidiary Borrower Collateral or Potential Collateral does not qualify as Eligible Real Estate, so long as the conditions set forth in clauses (ii) and (iv) of this §5.3 have been satisfied, such Subsidiary Borrower Collateral or Potential Collateral shall be included as Collateral and constitute Eligible Real Estate so long as the Agent shall have received the prior written consent of the Required Lenders to the inclusion of such Real Estate as a Collateral Property.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Borrowers acknowledge and agree that Borrowers shall use commercially reasonable efforts to add the specified Potential Collateral listed in Schedule 5.3 to the Collateral within six (6) months after the Closing Date in accordance with the conditions and provisions of this §5.3; provided, however , Borrower shall not be required to add any such Potential Collateral as Borrowers or their Affiliates shall have sold (or have entered into a binding contract to sell) to third parties during such six (6) month period.

62

§5.4 Release of Collateral Property. Provided no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing (or would exist immediately after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this §5.4 including any paydown of the Loans in connection with the transactions contemplated by this §5.4), the Agent shall release a Collateral Property from the lien or security interest of the Security Documents encumbering the same upon the request of Parent Borrower subject to and upon the following terms and conditions:

(a) The Parent Borrower shall have provided the Agent with written notice of its intention to remove any specified Collateral Property from the Collateral at least five (5) Business Days prior to the requested release (which notice may be revoked by the Parent Borrower at any time);

(b) Parent Borrower shall submit to the Agent with such request an executed Borrowing Base Availability Certificate in the form of Exhibit F hereto and a Compliance Certificate in the form of Exhibit G hereto prepared using the financial statements of Parent Borrower most recently provided or required to be provided to the Agent under §6.4 or §7.4 adjusted in the best good faith estimate of Parent Borrower solely to give effect to the proposed release and demonstrating that no Default or Event of Default with respect to the financial covenants referred to therein shall exist after giving effect to such release and if the Borrowers would not be in compliance, then any reduction in the outstanding amount of the Loans in connection with such release;

(c) all release documents to be executed by the Agent shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent, and with respect to any satisfaction of Mortgage, in proper form for recording;

(d) Borrowers shall pay all reasonable and documented costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with such release, including without limitation, reasonable and documented attorney’s fees of one legal counsel to the Agent;

(e) Borrowers shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders any payment required to comply with §3.2, which payment shall be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loans as provided in §3.2; and

(f) without limiting or affecting any other provision hereof, any release of a Collateral Property (x) will not cause the Borrowers to be in violation of the covenants set forth in §9.8 and (y) unless the Agent is otherwise directed by Required Lenders (at their option), shall be without regard to any Hedge Obligations secured by the Mortgage respecting any such Collateral Property (and each Lender Hedge Provider hereby agrees to be bound by the foregoing provision, notwithstanding any provision herein or in the Security Documents to the contrary).

§5.5 Additional Subsidiary Borrowers. As and to the extent that Parent Borrower shall request that certain Real Estate of a Subsidiary of Parent Borrower be included as a Collateral Property in connection with the request of any Loan as contemplated by §5.3 and such Real Estate is approved for inclusion as a Collateral Property in accordance with the terms

63

hereof, the Parent Borrower shall cause each such Subsidiary to execute and deliver to Agent a Joinder Agreement, and such Subsidiary shall become a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder. Each such Subsidiary shall be authorized, in accordance with its respective organizational documents, to be a Borrower hereunder and to execute such Security Documents as Agent may reasonably require. In connection with the delivery of such Joinder Agreement, Parent Borrower shall deliver to the Agent such organizational agreements, resolutions, consents, opinions and other documents and instruments as the Agent may reasonably require.

§5.6 Release of Certain Subsidiary Borrowers. In the event that all Collateral Properties owned by a Subsidiary Borrower shall have been released as Collateral for the Obligations and Hedge Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then such Subsidiary Borrower shall be released by Agent from liability under this Agreement.

§5.7 Release of Collateral. Upon the refinancing or repayment of the Obligations in full, in cash, the Agent shall release the Collateral from the lien and security interest of the Security Documents; provided, however , that Agent shall not be required to release such Collateral until such time as (x) Borrower has provided Agent with evidence reasonably satisfactory to Agent confirming the discharge, assumption or other satisfaction of all Hedge Obligations secured by the Collateral (subject to the provisions set forth in the definition of Mortgages) or (y) Required Lenders, at their option, direct Agent to release such Collateral, notwithstanding that any such Hedge Obligations may then remain outstanding (and each Lender Hedge Provider hereby agrees to be bound by any such direction of Required Lenders, notwithstanding any provision herein or in the Security Documents to the contrary).

Any excess Insurance Proceeds shall be paid to the Borrowers, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing (other than any Event of Default occurring solely as a result of such casualty or condemnation), such proceeds shall be applied to the payment of the Obligations, unless in either case by the terms of the applicable insurance policy the excess proceeds are required to be returned to such insurer. Any excess Condemnation Proceeds shall be applied to the payment of the Obligations. In no event shall the provisions of this section be construed to extend the Maturity Date or to limit in any way any right or remedy of the Agent upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder. If the Collateral Property is sold or the Collateral Property is acquired by the Agent, all right, title and interest of the Borrowers in and to any insurance policies and unearned premiums thereon (other than in connection with any blanket policy) and in and to the proceeds thereof resulting from loss or damage to the Collateral Property prior to the sale or acquisition shall pass to the Agent or any other successor in interest to the Borrowers or purchaser of the Collateral Property.

(o) the occurrence of any Change of Control; or

(p) an Event of Default under any of the other Loan Documents shall occur (subject, in any case, to any applicable cure provision set forth in §12.1(e);

101

then, and upon any such Event of Default, the Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, by notice in writing to the Borrowers declare all amounts owing with respect to this Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents to be, and they shall thereupon forthwith become, immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrowers; provided that in the event of any Event of Default specified in §12.1(h), §12.1(i) or §12.1(j), all such amounts shall become immediately due and payable automatically and without any requirement of presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind from any of the Lenders or the Agent.

§12.2 Certain Cure Periods. In the event that there shall occur any Default or Event of Default that affects only certain Collateral Property or the owner(s) thereof (if such owner is a Subsidiary Borrower), then the Borrowers may elect to cure such Default or Event of Default (so long as no other Default or Event of Default would arise as a result of such Default or Event of Default) by electing to have Agent remove such Collateral Property from the calculation of the Borrowing Base Availability (and the Borrowers’ compliance with §3.2 as a result thereof, in which event such removal and reduction shall be completed within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice of such Default or Event of Default from the Agent or the Required Lenders.

If any one or more Events of Default specified in §12.1(h), §12.1(i) or §12.1(j) shall occur, then immediately and without any action on the part of the Agent or any Lender any unused portion of the credit hereunder shall terminate and the Lenders shall be relieved of all obligations to make Loans to the Borrowers. If any other Event of Default shall have occurred, the Agent may, and upon the election of the Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrowers terminate the obligation to make Loans to the Borrowers. No termination under this §12.3 shall relieve the Borrowers 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 pursuant to §12.1, the Agent on behalf of the Lenders may, and upon the direction of the Required Lenders shall, proceed to protect and enforce their rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Notes and/or any of the other Loan Documents by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate proceeding, including to the full extent permitted by applicable law the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, and, if any amount shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, the enforcement of the payment thereof. No remedy herein conferred upon the Agent or the holder of any Note is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other provision of law. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement providing that the Loans may be evidenced by multiple Notes in favor of the Lenders, the Lenders acknowledge and agree that only the Agent may exercise any remedies arising by reason of a Default or Event of Default. If any Borrower 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

102

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 Borrowers upon demand and shall constitute a part of the Obligations and shall if not paid within five (5) Business Days after demand bear interest at the rate for overdue amounts as set forth in this Agreement. In the event that all or any portion of the Obligations is collected by or through an attorney-at-law, the Borrowers shall pay all costs of collection including, but not limited to, reasonable and documented attorney’s fees.

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

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

(b) Second, to all other Obligations (including any Letter of Credit Liabilities, interest, expenses or other obligations incurred after the commencement of a bankruptcy, but excluding Hedge Obligations) in such order or preference as the Required 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 Agent’s fee payable pursuant to §4.2; (iii) in the event that any Lender shall have wrongfully failed or refused to make an advance under §2.5(d), §2.7, or §2.10(f) and such failure or refusal shall be continuing, advances made by other Lenders during the pendency of such failure or refusal shall be entitled to be repaid as to principal and accrued interest in priority to the other Obligations described in this subsection (b); and (iv) Obligations owing to the Lenders with respect to each type of Obligation such as interest, principal, fees and expenses shall be made among the Lenders, pro rata, and among the Lender Hedge Providers pro rata; and provided , further that the Required Lenders may in their discretion make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations and Hedge Obligations not then due and payable;

(c) Third, to all Hedge Obligations secured by the Mortgages and other Collateral, on a pari passu basis among the Lender Hedge Providers pro rata;

(d) Fourth, to all other Hedge Obligations, on a pari passu basis among the Lender Hedge Providers pro rata; and

(e) Fifth, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrowers or to such other Persons as are entitled thereto.

103

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 or any Affiliate thereof to the Borrowers and any securities or other property of the Borrowers in the possession of such Lender or any Affiliate may, without notice to any Borrower (any such notice being expressly waived by Borrowers) 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 Borrowers to such Lender. Each of the Lenders agrees with each other Lender that if such Lender shall receive from a Borrower, 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.

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

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

104

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

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

105

§14.5 Payments.

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

(b) If in the reasonable 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.

§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.

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

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

§14.9 Resignation. The Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers. The Required Lenders may remove the Agent from its capacity as Agent in the event of the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Any such resignation or removal may at Agent’s option also constitute Agent’s resignation as Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender. Upon any such resignation, or

106

removal, the Required Lenders, subject to the terms of §18.1, shall have the right to appoint as a successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, (i) any Lender or (ii) any bank whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than “A” or its equivalent by Moody’s or not less than “A” or its equivalent by S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000.00. Unless a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrowers. If no successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lender’s removal of the Agent , then the retiring or removed Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be (ii) any Lender or (ii) any financial institution whose senior debt obligations are rated not less than “A2” or its equivalent by Moody’s or not less than “A” or its equivalent by S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000.00. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, hereunder by a successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, such successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, and the retiring or removed Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder as Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender. After any retiring Agent’s resignation or removal, 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 or removed Agent shall also resign as the Issuing Lender, such successor Agent shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or shall make other arrangements satisfactory to the current Issuing Lender, in either case, to assume effectively the obligations of the current Agent with respect to such Letters of Credit. Upon any change in the Agent under this Agreement, the resigning or removed Agent shall execute such assignments of and amendments to the Loan Documents as may be necessary to substitute the successor Agent for the resigning or removed 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 Required Lenders and (b) the Lenders have provided to the Agent such additional indemnities and assurances in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages against expenses and liabilities as the Agent may reasonably request, shall proceed to exercise all or any legal and equitable and other rights or remedies as it may have; provided , however , that unless and until the Agent shall have received such directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Agent reasonably determines payment is in the best interest of all the Lenders, Agent may without the approval of the Lenders pay taxes and insurance premiums and spend money for maintenance, repairs or other expenses which may be necessary to be incurred, and Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the Lenders of such action. Each Lender shall, within thirty (30) days of request therefor, pay to the Agent its Commitment Percentage of the reasonable costs incurred

107

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 Borrowers or out of the Collateral within such period with respect to the Collateral Properties. The Required Lenders may direct the Agent in writing as to the method and the extent of any such exercise, the Lenders hereby agreeing to indemnify and hold the Agent harmless in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages from all liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such directions, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agent’s willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods, provided that the Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent that the Agent reasonably believes the Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful in any applicable jurisdiction or commercially unreasonable under the UCC as enacted in any applicable jurisdiction.

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

§14.12 Request for Agent Action. Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that in the ordinary course of business of the Borrowers, (a) Borrowers will enter into leases or rental agreements covering Collateral Properties that may require the execution of a Subordination, Attornment and Non-Disturbance Agreement in favor of the tenant thereunder, (b) a Collateral Property may be subject to a Taking, (c) a Borrower may desire to enter into easements or other agreements affecting the Collateral Properties, or take other actions or enter into other agreements in the ordinary course of business which similarly require the consent, approval or agreement of the Agent. In connection with the foregoing, the Lenders hereby expressly authorize the Agent to (w) execute and deliver to the Borrowers Subordination, Attornment and Non-Disturbance Agreements with any tenant under a Lease upon such terms as Agent in its good faith judgment determines are appropriate (Agent in the exercise of its good faith judgment may agree to allow some or all of the casualty, condemnation, restoration or other provisions of the applicable Lease to control over the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents), (x) execute releases of liens in connection with any Taking, (y) execute consents or subordinations in form and substance satisfactory to Agent in connection with any easements or agreements affecting the Collateral Property, or (z) execute consents, approvals, or other agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent in connection with such other actions or agreements as may be necessary in the ordinary course of Borrowers’ business.

§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,

108

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

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

§14.16 Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements:

(i) That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in §27.

(ii) Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts received by the Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, or otherwise, and including any amounts made available to the Agent by that 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 that Defaulting Lender to

109

the Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the Issuing Lender or Swing Loan Lender hereunder; third, if so determined by the Agent or requested by the Issuing Lender or Swing Loan Lender, to be held as cash collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any participation in any Swing Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrowers may request (so long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that 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 in order to satisfy obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Lenders, the Issuing Lender or Swing Loan Lender as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the Issuing Lender or Swing Loan Lender against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists or non-defaulting Lenders have been paid in full all amounts then due, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrowers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrowers against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or Letter of Credit Liabilities in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share and (y) such Loans or Letter of Credit Liabilities were made at a time when the conditions set forth in §11 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the Loans of, and Letter of Credit Liabilities owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being applied to the payment of any Loans of, or Letter of Credit Liabilities owed to, that 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 §14.16(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.

(iii) That Defaulting Lender which is a Revolving Credit Lender (x) 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 (and the Borrowers shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in §2.10(e).

(iv) During any period in which there is Revolving Credit Lender which is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the obligation of each non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit or Swing Loans pursuant to §2.5 and/or §2.10, the “ Revolving Credit Commitment Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Revolving Credit Commitment of that Defaulting Revolving Credit 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; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans shall not exceed the

110

positive difference, if any, of (1) the Revolving Credit Commitment of that non-Defaulting Revolving Credit Lender minus (2) the aggregate Outstanding of the Revolving Credit Loans of and Letter of Credit Liabilities held by that Revolving Credit Lender.

(v) During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrowers may, by giving written notice thereof to the Agent, such Defaulting Lender, and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Commitment to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of §18.1. No party hereto shall have any obligation whatsoever to initiate any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. In addition, any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender may, but shall not be obligated, in its sole discretion, to acquire the face amount of all or a portion of such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment via an assignment subject to and in accordance with the provisions of §18.1. No such assignment shall be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient with any applicable amounts held pursuant to the immediately preceding subsection (f), upon distribution thereof as appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including funding, with the consent of the Parent Borrower and the Agent, the applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent, the Issuing Lender or any Lender hereunder (and interest accrued thereon), and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) such Defaulting Lender’s full pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Loans. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder shall become effective under any Legal Requirement without compliance with the provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance occurs.

(b) Defaulting Lender Cure . If the Borrower, the Agent, Swing Loan Lender and the Issuing Lender 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 effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase 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 Applicable Percentages (without giving effect to §14.16(a)(iv)), whereupon that 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 Borrowers while that 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 that Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.

§14.17 Reliance on Hedge Provider. For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with §12.5, the Agent shall be entitled to rely upon the trustee, paying agent or other

The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrowers and the Lenders at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

The entries in the Participant Register shall be conclusive absent manifest error, and such Lender shall treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Participant Register as the owner of such participation for all purposes of this Credit Agreement notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.

The Borrowers agree that in addition to disclosures made in accordance with standard banking practices any Lender may disclose information obtained by such Lender pursuant to this Agreement to assignees or participants and potential assignees or participants hereunder. Each Lender agrees for itself that it shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with its customary procedures to hold confidential all non-public information obtained from Borrowers that has been identified in writing as confidential by any of them, and shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with its customary procedures to not disclose such information to any other Person, it being understood and agreed that, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Lender may make (a) disclosures to its participants (provided such Persons are advised of the provisions of this §18.7), (b) disclosures to its directors, officers, employees, Affiliates, accountants, appraisers, legal counsel and other professional advisors of such Lender (provided that such Persons who are not employees of such Lender are advised of the provision of this §18.7), (c) disclosures customarily provided or reasonably required by any potential or actual

In addition, each Lender may make disclosure of such information to any contractual counterparty in swap agreements or such contractual counterparty’s professional advisors (so long as such contractual counterparty or professional advisors agree to be bound by the provisions of this §18.7). Non-public information shall not include any information which is or subsequently becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure of such information by a Lender, or prior to the delivery to such Lender is within the possession of such Lender if such information is not known by such Lender to be subject to another confidentiality agreement with or other obligations of secrecy to the Borrowers, or is disclosed with the prior approval of Borrowers. Nothing herein shall prohibit the disclosure of non-public information to the extent necessary to enforce the Loan Documents.

Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver because of changed

117

address for which no notice was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the Notice sent. By giving at least fifteen (15) days’ prior Notice thereof, Borrowers, a Lender or Agent shall have the right from time to time and at any time during the term of this Agreement to change their respective addresses and each shall have the right to specify as its address any other address within the United States of America.

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

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

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

122

Each of the Borrowers covenants and agrees that each and every covenant and obligation of any Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents shall be the joint and several obligations of each Borrower.

§36.1 Attorney-in-Fact. For the purpose of implementing the joint borrower provisions of the Loan Documents, the Borrowers hereby irrevocably appoint Parent Borrower as their agent and attorney-in-fact for all purposes of the Loan Documents, including the giving and receiving of notices and other communications.

§36.2 Accommodation. It is understood and agreed that the handling of this credit facility on a joint borrowing basis as set forth in this Agreement is solely as an accommodation to the Borrowers and at their request. Accordingly, the Agent and the Lenders are entitled to rely, and shall be exonerated from any liability for relying upon, any Loan Request or any other request or communication made by a purported officer of any Borrower without the need for any consent or other authorization of any other Borrower and upon any information or certificate provided on behalf of any Borrower by a purported officer of such Borrower, and any such request or other action shall be fully binding on each Borrower as if made by it.

§36.3 Waiver of Automatic or Supplemental Stay. Each of the Borrowers represents, warrants and covenants to the Lenders and Agent that in the event of the filing of any voluntary or involuntary petition in bankruptcy by or against the other of the Loan Parties at any time following the execution and delivery of this Agreement, none of the Loan Parties shall seek a supplemental stay or any other relief, whether injunctive or otherwise, pursuant to Section 105 of the Bankruptcy Code or any other provision of the Bankruptcy Code, to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of the Lenders or Agent to enforce any rights it has by virtue of this Agreement, the Loan Documents, or at law or in equity, or any other rights the Lenders or Agent has, whether now or hereafter acquired, against the other Loan Parties or against any property owned by such other Loan Parties.

§36.4 Waiver of Defenses. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each of the Borrowers hereby waives and agrees not to assert or take advantage of any defense based upon:

(a) Any right to require Agent or the Lenders to proceed against the other Borrowers or any other Person or to proceed against or exhaust any security held by Agent or the Lenders at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Agent’s or any Lender’s power or under any other agreement before proceeding against a Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document;

(b) The defense of the statute of limitations in any action hereunder or the payment or performance of any of the Obligations;

(c) Any defense that may arise by reason of the incapacity, lack of authority, death or disability of any other Person or Persons or the failure of Agent or any Lender to file or enforce a claim against the estate (in administration, bankruptcy or any other proceeding) of any other Person or Persons;

123

(d) Any failure on the part of Agent or any Lender to ascertain the extent or nature of any Collateral or any insurance or other rights with respect thereto, or the liability of any party liable under the Loan Documents or the obligations evidenced or secured thereby;

(e) Demand, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment, protest, notice of protest and all other notices of any kind (except for such notices as are specifically required to be provided to Borrowers pursuant to the Loan Documents), or the lack of any thereof, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, notice of the existence, creation or incurring of any new or additional indebtedness or obligation or of any action or non-action on the part of any Borrower, Agent, any Lender, any endorser or creditor of Borrowers or on the part of any other Person whomsoever under this or any other instrument in connection with any obligation or evidence of indebtedness held by Agent or any Lender;

(f) Any defense based upon an election of remedies by Agent or any Lender, including any election to proceed by judicial or nonjudicial foreclosure of any security, whether real property or personal property security, or by deed in lieu thereof, and whether or not every aspect of any foreclosure sale is commercially reasonable, or any election of remedies, including remedies relating to real property or personal property security, which destroys or otherwise impairs the subrogation rights of a Borrower or the rights of a Borrower to proceed against the other Borrowers for reimbursement, or both;

(g) Any right or claim of right to cause a marshaling of the assets of Borrowers;

(h) Any principle or provision of law, statutory or otherwise, which is or might be in conflict with the terms and provisions of this Agreement;

(i) Any duty on the part of Agent or any Lender to disclose to Borrowers any facts Agent or any Lender may now or hereafter know about Loan Parties or the Collateral, regardless of whether Agent or any Lender has reason to believe that any such facts materially increase the risk beyond that which each Borrower intends to assume or has reason to believe that such facts are unknown to Borrowers or has a reasonable opportunity to communicate such facts to Borrowers, it being understood and agreed that each Borrower is fully responsible for being and keeping informed of the financial condition of the other Loan Parties, of the condition of the Collateral Property or the Collateral and of any and all circumstances bearing on the risk that liability may be incurred by Borrowers hereunder and under the other Loan Documents;

(j) Any inaccuracy of any representation made by or on behalf of any Loan Party contained in any Loan Document;

(k) Subject to compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, any sale or assignment of the Loan Documents, or any interest therein;

(l) Subject to compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, any sale or assignment by a Borrower or any other Person of any Collateral, or any portion thereof or interest therein, not consented to by Agent or any Lender;

124

(m) Any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any one or more of the Loan Documents;

(n) Any deficiencies in the Collateral or any deficiency in the ability of Agent or any Lender to collect or to obtain performance from any Persons now or hereafter liable for the payment and performance of any obligation hereby guaranteed;

(o) An assertion or claim that the automatic stay provided by 11 U.S.C. §362 (arising upon the voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy proceeding of the other Borrowers) or any other stay provided under 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, shall operate or be interpreted to stay, interdict, condition, reduce or inhibit the ability of Agent or any Lender to enforce any of its rights, whether now or hereafter required, which Agent or any Lender may have against a Loan Party or the Collateral owned by it;

(p) Any modifications of the Loan Documents or any obligation of the Loan Parties relating to the Loan by operation of law or by action of any court, whether pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, or any other debtor relief law (whether statutory, common law, case law or otherwise) of any jurisdiction whatsoever, now or hereafter in effect, or otherwise;

(r) Any action, occurrence, event or matter consented to by the Loan Parties under any provision hereof, or otherwise;

(s) The dissolution or termination of existence of any Loan Party;

(t) Subject to compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, any renewal, extension, modification, amendment or another changes in the Obligations, including but not limited to any material alteration of the terms of payment or performance of the Obligations;

(v) To the fullest extent permitted by law, any other legal, equitable or surety defenses whatsoever to which the Loan Parties might otherwise be entitled, it being the intention that the obligations of Loan Parties hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are absolute, unconditional and irrevocable; or

(w) Subject to compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, any lack of notice of disposition or manner of disposition of any Collateral except for notices required by law.

§36.5 Waiver. Each of the Borrowers waives, to the fullest extent that each may lawfully so do, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, homestead, exemption

125

and redemption laws which such Person may claim or seek to take advantage of in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents or the exercise by Lenders or Agent of any of their respective remedies under the Loan Documents and, to the fullest extent that the Borrowers may lawfully so do, such Person waives any and all right to have the assets comprised in the security intended to be created by the Security Documents (including, without limitation, those assets owned by the other of the Borrowers) marshaled upon any foreclosure of the lien created by such Security Documents. Each of the Borrowers further agrees that the Lenders and Agent shall be entitled to exercise their respective rights and remedies under the Loan Documents or at law or in equity in such order as they may elect. Without limiting the foregoing, each of the Borrowers further agrees that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Lenders and Agent may exercise any of such rights and remedies without notice to either of the Loan Parties except as required by law or the Loan Documents and agrees that neither the Lenders nor Agent shall be required to proceed against the other of the Loan Parties or any other Person or to proceed against or to exhaust any other security held by the Lenders or Agent at any time or to pursue any other remedy in Lender’s or Agent’s power or under any of the Loan Documents before proceeding against a Borrower or its assets under the Loan Documents.

§36.6 Subordination. So long as the Loans are outstanding, each of the Borrowers hereby expressly defers and agrees (a) not to assert any right of contribution from or indemnity against the other, whether at law or in equity, arising from any payments made by such Person pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and (b) not to proceed against the other for reimbursement of any such payments. In connection with the foregoing, each of the Borrowers expressly defers and agrees not to assert or take advantage of (i) any rights of subrogation to the Lenders or Agent against the other of the Borrowers, (ii) any rights to enforce any remedy which the Lenders or Agent may have against the other of the Borrowers and any rights to participate in any Collateral or any other assets of the other Borrowers. In addition to and without in any way limiting the foregoing, each of the Borrowers hereby subordinates any and all indebtedness it may now or hereafter owe to such other Borrowers to all indebtedness of the Borrowers to the Lenders and Agent, and agrees with the Lenders and Agent that neither of the Borrowers shall claim any offset or other reduction of such Borrower’s obligations hereunder because of any such indebtedness and shall not take any action to obtain any of the Collateral or any other assets of the other Borrowers so long as the Loans are outstanding.

§36.7 Waiver of Rights Under Anti-Deficiency Rules. Without limiting any other provision of this §36, each Borrower understands and acknowledges that, if the Agent forecloses judicially or nonjudicially against any real property Collateral for the Obligations, such foreclosure could impair or destroy any right or ability that such Borrower may have to seek reimbursement, contribution, or indemnification for any amounts paid by such Borrower under this Agreement. Each Borrower further understands and acknowledges that in the absence of this waiver such potential impairment or destruction of such Borrower’s rights, if any, may entitle such Borrower to assert a defense to this Agreement based on California Code of Civil Procedure §580d as interpreted in Union Bank v. Gradsky , (1968) 265 CA 2d 40, 71 CR 64, on the grounds, among others, that the Agent or the Lenders should be estopped from pursuing such Borrower because their election to foreclose may have impaired or destroyed such subrogation, reimbursement, contribution, or indemnification rights of such Borrower. By execution of this Agreement, each Borrower intentionally, freely, irrevocably, and unconditionally: (i) waives and relinquishes that defense and agrees that such Borrower will be

126

liable under this Agreement even though the Agent has foreclosed judicially or nonjudicially against any real or personal property Collateral for the Obligations; (ii) agrees that such Borrower will not assert that defense in any action or proceeding which the Agent or the Lenders may bring to enforce this Agreement; and (iii) acknowledges and agrees that until the Obligations have been paid in full in cash, the rights and defenses waived by such Borrower in this Agreement include any right or defense that such Borrower may have or be entitled to assert based on or arising out of California Civil Code §2848, to the extent now or hereafter applicable.

§36.8 Further Waivers. Each Borrower intentionally, freely, irrevocably and unconditionally waives and relinquishes all rights which may be available to it under any provision of California law or under any California judicial decision, including, without limitation, Section 580a and 726(b) of the California Code of Civil Procedure, to limit the amount of any deficiency judgment or other judgment which may be obtained against such Borrower under this Agreement to not more than the amount by which the unpaid Obligations exceeds the fair market value or fair value of any real or personal property of such Borrower securing the Obligations, including, without limitation, all rights to an appraisement of, judicial or other hearing on, or other determination of the value of said property. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that, as a result of the foregoing waiver, the Agent or the Lenders may recover from such Borrower an amount which, when combined with the value of any real or personal property foreclosed upon by the Agent (or the proceeds of the sale of which have been received by the Agent and the Lenders) and any sums collected by the Agent and the Lenders from any other Borrower, the other guarantors or other Persons, might temporarily exceed the amount of the Obligations.

(a) Without limiting any other provision of §36, each Subsidiary Borrower acknowledges that it has received, or will receive, significant financial and other benefits, either directly or indirectly, from the proceeds of the Loans made by the Lenders to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement; that the benefits received by such Subsidiary Borrower are reasonably equivalent consideration for such Subsidiary Borrower’s execution of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which it is a party; and that such benefits include, without limitation, the access to capital afforded to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement from which the activities of such Subsidiary Borrower will be supported, the refinancing of certain existing indebtedness of such Subsidiary Borrower secured by such Subsidiary Borrower’s Collateral Property from the proceeds of the Loans, and the ability to refinance that indebtedness at a lower interest rate and otherwise on more favorable terms than would be available to it if the Collateral Property owned by such Subsidiary Borrower were being financed on a stand-alone basis and not as part of a pool of assets comprising the security for the Obligations. Each Subsidiary Borrower is executing this Agreement and the other Loan Documents in consideration of those benefits received by it and each Subsidiary Borrower desires to enter into an allocation and contribution agreement with each other Subsidiary Borrower as set forth in this §37 and agrees to subordinate and subrogate any rights or claims it may have against other Subsidiary Borrowers as and to the extent set forth in §36.

127

(b) In the event any one or more Subsidiary Borrowers (any such Subsidiary Borrower, a “ Funding Borrower ”) is deemed to have paid an amount in excess of the principal amount attributable to it (such principal amount, the “ Allocable Principal Balance ”) (any deemed payment in excess of the applicable Allocable Principal Balance, a “ Contribution ”) as a result of (a) such Funding Borrower’s payment of and/or performance on the Obligations and/or (b) Agent’s and/or any Lender’s realization on the Collateral owned by such Funding Borrower (whether by foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure, private sale or other means), then after payment in full of the Loans and the satisfaction of all of Subsidiary Borrowers’ other obligations under the Loan Documents, such Funding Borrower shall be entitled to contribution from each benefited Subsidiary Borrower for the amount of the Contribution so benefited (any such contribution, a “ Reimbursement Contribution ”), up to such benefited Subsidiary Borrower’s then current Allocable Principal Balance. Any Reimbursement Contributions required to be made hereunder shall, subject to §36, be made within ten (10) days after demand therefor.

(c) If a Subsidiary Borrower (a “ Defaulting Borrower ”) shall have failed to make a Reimbursement Contribution as hereinabove provided, after the later to occur of (a) payment of the Loan in full and the satisfaction of all of all Subsidiary Borrowers’ other obligations to Lenders or (b) the date which is 366 days after the payment in full of the Loans, the Funding Borrower to whom such Reimbursement Contribution is owed shall be subrogated to the rights of Lenders against such Defaulting Borrower, including the right to receive a portion of such Defaulting Borrower’s Collateral in an amount equal to the Reimbursement Contribution payment required hereunder that such Defaulting Borrower failed to make; provided , however , if Agent returns any payments in connection with a bankruptcy of a Subsidiary Borrower, all other Subsidiary Borrowers shall jointly and severally pay to Agent and Lenders all such amounts returned, together with interest at the Default Rate accruing from and after the date on which such amounts were returned.

(d) In the event that at any time there exists more than one Funding Borrower with respect to any Contribution (in any such case, the “ Applicable Contribution ”), then Reimbursement Contributions from Defaulting Borrowers pursuant hereto shall be equitably allocated among such Funding Borrowers. In the event that at any time any Subsidiary Borrower pays an amount hereunder in excess of the amount calculated pursuant to this paragraph, that Subsidiary Borrower shall be deemed to be a Funding Borrower to the extent of such excess and shall be entitled to a Reimbursement Contribution from the other Borrowers in accordance with the provisions of this §37.

(e) It is the intent of each Subsidiary Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders that in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or any similar debtor relief laws, such Subsidiary Borrower’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Subsidiary Borrower hereunder (or any other obligations of such Subsidiary Borrower to the Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Subsidiary Borrower in such proceeding as a result of applicable Laws, including, without limitation, (i) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code and (ii) any state fraudulent transfer or fraudulent conveyance act or statute applied in such proceeding, whether by virtue of Section 544 of the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise. The Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Subsidiary Borrower hereunder (or any other obligations of such Subsidiary Borrower to

128

the Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents) shall be determined in any such proceeding are referred to herein as “Avoidance Provisions”. Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of a Subsidiary Borrower hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Obligations for which such Subsidiary Borrower shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to the greater of (A) the amount which, as of the time any of the Obligations are deemed to have been incurred by such Subsidiary Borrower under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of such Subsidiary Borrower hereunder (or any other obligations of such Subsidiary Borrower to the Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions or (B) the amount which, as of the time demand is made hereunder upon such Subsidiary Borrower for payment on account of the Obligations, would not cause the obligations of such Subsidiary Borrower hereunder (or any other obligations of such Subsidiary Borrower to the Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. The provisions of this §37(e) are intended solely to preserve the rights of the Agent and the Lenders hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Subsidiary Borrower hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Subsidiary Borrower or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Agent and the Lenders that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

(a) Borrower Fully Liable . Borrowers shall be fully liable for the Loan, the Letters of Credit, and the Obligations of Borrower to each of the Lenders.

(b) Additional Matters . To the extent permitted under applicable law, nothing contained in these provisions or elsewhere shall limit the right of Agent or any of the Lenders to obtain injunctive relief or to pursue equitable remedies under any of the Loan Documents, or to pursue common law remedies for matters constituting fraud, or misappropriation of rents, or insurance or condemnation proceeds, against any party.
