3

The Applicable Margin as of the Amendment Effective Date shall be at Pricing Level 3. The Applicable Margin shall not be adjusted based upon such ratio, if at all, until the first (1 ^st ) Business Day following the delivery by Parent to the Agent of the Compliance Certificate at the end of a calendar quarter. In the event that Parent shall fail to deliver to the Agent a quarterly Compliance Certificate on or before the date required by §7.4(c), then without limiting any other rights of the Agent and the Lenders under this Agreement, the Applicable Margin shall be at Pricing Level 5 until such failure is cured within any applicable cure period, in which event the Applicable Margin shall adjust, if necessary, on the first (1 ^st ) Business Day following receipt of such Compliance Certificate.

In the event that the Agent and Parent determine that any financial statements previously delivered were incorrect or inaccurate (regardless of whether this Agreement or the Commitments are in effect when such inaccuracy is discovered), and such inaccuracy, if corrected, would have led to the application of a higher Applicable Margin for any period (an “ Applicable Period ”) than the Applicable Margin applied for such Applicable Period, then (i) Parent shall as soon as practicable deliver to the Agent the corrected financial statements for such Applicable Period, (ii) the Applicable Margin shall be determined as if the Pricing Level for such higher Applicable Margin were applicable for such Applicable Period, and (iii) the Borrower shall within five (5) Business Days of demand thereof by the Agent pay to the Agent the accrued additional amount owing as a result of such increased Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Agent in accordance with this Agreement.

(b)    From and after the time that Agent first receives written notice from Borrower that Borrower and/or Parent has first obtained an Investment Grade Rating and that Borrower elects to use such Investment Grade Rating as the basis for the Applicable Margin, the Applicable Margin shall mean, as of any date of determination, a percentage per annum determined by reference to the Credit Rating Level as set forth below (provided that any accrued interest payable at the Applicable Margin determined by reference to the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated Total Asset Value shall be payable as provided in §2.6):

4

At such time as this subparagraph (b) is applicable, the Applicable Margin for each Base Rate Loan shall be determined by reference to the Credit Rating Level in effect from time to time, and the Applicable Margin for any Interest Period for all LIBOR Rate Loans comprising part of the same borrowing shall be determined by reference to the Credit Rating Level in effect on the first (1st) day of such Interest Period; provided, however that no change in the Applicable Margin resulting from the application of the Credit Rating Levels or a change in the Credit Rating Level shall be effective until three (3) Business Days after the date on which the Agent receives written notice of the application of the Credit Rating Levels or a change in such Credit Rating Level. From and after the first time that the Applicable Margin is based on Borrower’s or Parent’s Credit Rating Level, the Applicable Margin shall no longer be calculated by reference to the ratio of Consolidated Total Indebtedness to Consolidated Total Asset Value.”;

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, there shall be no more than ten (10) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time.

(b)    The Borrower shall have the right at any time from time to time during the Term Loan Commitment Period upon three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent to reduce, by $5,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000.00 in excess thereof, the unborrowed portion of the Term Loan Commitments (it being understood, for the avoidance of doubt, that any previously borrowed portion of the Term Loan Commitments which has been repaid shall not in any event be deemed to be unborrowed for purposes hereof), whereupon the Term Loan Commitments of the Term Loan Lenders shall be reduced pro rata in accordance with their respective Term Loan Commitment Percentages of the amount specified in such notice, any such reduction to be without penalty. Promptly after receiving any notice from the Borrower delivered pursuant to this §2.5(b), the Agent will notify the Term Loan Lenders of the substance thereof. Upon the effective date of any such reduction of the unborrowed portion of the Term Loan Commitments, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Term Loan Lenders the full amount of any term loan unused fee under §2.3(c) then accrued on the amount of the reduction.

Ҥ4.17 Successor LIBOR Rate .

(a)    If the Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that either (a) (i) the circumstances set forth in §4.6 have arisen and are unlikely to be temporary, or (ii) the circumstances set forth in §4.6 have not arisen but the applicable supervisor or administrator (if any) of LIBOR or a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the Agent has made a public statement identifying the specific date after which LIBOR shall no longer be used for determining interest rates for loans (either such date, a “ LIBOR Termination Date ”), or (b) a rate other than LIBOR has become a widely recognized benchmark rate for newly originated floating rate commercial real estate loans in Dollars in the U.S. market, then the Agent and the Borrower may endeavor to establish a replacement index for LIBOR, and make spread adjustments thereto and related amendments to this Agreement as may be appropriate, in the discretion of the Agent, for the implementation and administration of the replacement index-based rate such that, to the extent practicable, the all-in interest rate based on the replacement index as of the effective date of such

12

amendment will be substantially equivalent to the all-in LIBOR based interest rate in effect immediately prior to its replacement. Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein, if (i) the Borrower, in the exercise of its reasonable judgment, does not agree to the replacement index as notified by the Agent to the Borrower or (ii) the Agent and the Borrower cannot reasonably agree on an alternate rate, then in either such case, the Borrower shall have the option to repay the debt in full, without any prepayment penalty.

(b)    Upon the establishment of a replacement index in accordance with clause (a) above, the Agent, the Borrower and the Guarantors shall enter into an amendment to this Agreement to give effect to the terms of this §4.17. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents (including, without limitation, §27), such amendment shall become effective without any further action or consent of any other party to this Agreement at 5:00 p.m. (Cleveland, Ohio time) on the tenth (10th) Business Day after the date a draft of the amendment is provided to the Lenders, unless the Agent receives, on or before such tenth (10th) Business Day, a written notice from the Required Lenders stating that such Lenders object to such amendment.

(c)    Selection of the replacement index, spread adjustments, and amendments to this Agreement (i) will be determined with due consideration to the then-current market practices for determining and implementing a rate of interest for newly originated floating rate commercial real estate loans in the United States and loans converted from a LIBOR based rate to a replacement index-based rate, and (ii) may also reflect adjustments to account for (x) the effects of the transition from LIBOR to the replacement index and (y) yield or risk-based differences between LIBOR and the replacement index.

(d)    Until an amendment reflecting a new replacement index in accordance with this §4.17 is effective, each advance, conversion and renewal of a LIBOR Rate Loan will continue to bear interest with reference to LIBOR; provided however, that if the Agent determines (which determination shall be final and conclusive, absent manifest error) that a LIBOR Termination Date has occurred, then following the LIBOR Termination Date, all LIBOR Rate Loans shall automatically be converted to Base Rate Loans until such time as an amendment reflecting a replacement index and related matters as described above is implemented.

(e)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time the replacement index is less than zero, at such times, such index shall be deemed to be zero for purposes of this Agreement.”;
