The Borrower shall give the Agent and the Swingline Lender notice pursuant to a Notice of Swingline Borrowing or telephonic notice of each borrowing of a Swingline Loan. Each Notice of Swingline Borrowing shall be delivered to the Swingline Lender no later than 3:00 p.m. on the proposed date of such borrowing. Any such notice given telephonically shall include all information to be specified in a written Notice of Swingline Borrowing and shall be promptly confirmed in writing by the Borrower pursuant to a Notice of Swingline Borrowing sent to the Swingline Lender by telecopy on the same day of the giving of such telephonic notice. On the date of the requested Swingline Loan and subject to satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Article VI. for such borrowing, the Swingline Lender will make the proceeds of such Swingline Loan available to the Borrower in Dollars, in immediately available funds, at the account specified by the Borrower in the Notice of Swingline Borrowing not later than 4:00 p.m. on such date (or 12:00 noon if the Borrower delivered the applicable Notice of Swingline Borrowing to the Swingline Lender before 10:00 a.m. on the proposed date of such borrowing).

(c) Interest. Swingline Loans shall bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans. Interest payable on Swingline Loans is solely for the account of the Swingline Lender. All accrued and unpaid interest on Swingline Loans shall be payable on the dates and in the manner provided in Section 2.5. with respect to interest on Base Rate Loans (except as the Swingline Lender and the Borrower may otherwise agree in writing in connection with any particular Swingline Loan).

(d) Swingline Loan Amounts, Etc. Each Swingline Loan shall be in the minimum amount of $100,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 or such other minimum amounts agreed to by the Swingline Lender and the Borrower. Any voluntary prepayment of a Swingline Loan must be in integral multiples of $50,000 or the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans (or such other minimum amounts upon which the Swingline Lender and the Borrower may agree) and in connection with any such prepayment, the Borrower must give the Swingline Lender prior written notice thereof no later than 2:00 p.m. on the day prior to the date of such prepayment. The Swingline Loans shall, in addition to this Agreement, be evidenced by the Swingline Note.

(e) Repayment and Participations of Swingline Loans. The Borrower agrees to repay each Swingline Loan within one Business Day of demand therefor by the Swingline Lender and in any event, within 7 Business Days after the date such Swingline Loan was made; provided, that the proceeds of a Swingline Loan may not be used to repay a Swingline Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Swingline Loans on the Swingline Termination Date (or such earlier date as the Swingline Lender and the Borrower may agree in writing). In lieu of demanding repayment of any outstanding Swingline Loan from the Borrower, the Swingline Lender may, on behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably directs the Swingline Lender to act on its behalf for such purpose), request a borrowing of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans from the Lenders in an amount equal to the principal balance of such Swingline Loan. The amount limitations of Section 3.5.(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of Revolving Loans that are Base Rate Loans made pursuant to this subsection. The Swingline Lender shall give notice to the Agent of any such borrowing of Revolving Loans not later than 12:00 noon on the proposed date of such borrowing and the Agent shall give prompt notice of such borrowing to the Lenders. No later than 2:00 p.m. on such date, each Lender will make available to the Agent at the Principal Office for the account of the Swingline Lender, in immediately available funds, the proceeds of the Revolving Loan to be made by such Lender and, to the extent of such Revolving Loan, such Lender’s participation in the Swingline Loan so repaid shall be deemed to be funded by such Revolving Loan. The Agent shall pay the proceeds of such Revolving Loans to the Swingline Lender, which shall apply such proceeds to repay such Swingline Loan. At the time each Swingline Loan is made, each Lender shall automatically (and without any further notice or action) be deemed to have purchased from the Swingline Lender, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage in such Swingline Loan. If the Lenders are prohibited from making Revolving Loans required to be made under this subsection for any reason, including without limitation, the occurrence of any Default or Event of Default described in Section 11.1.(f) or 11.1.(g), upon notice from the Agent or the Swingline Lender, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Swingline Lender in respect of such

participation the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of each outstanding Swingline Loan. If such amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by any Lender, the Swingline Lender shall be entitled to recover such amount on demand from such Lender, together with accrued interest thereon for each day from the date of demand thereof, at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender does not pay such amount forthwith upon demand therefor by the Agent or the Swingline Lender, and until such time as such Lender makes the required payment, the Swingline Lender shall be deemed to continue to have outstanding Swingline Loans in the amount of such unpaid participation obligation for all purposes of the Loan Documents (other than those provisions requiring the other Lenders to purchase a participation therein). Further, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Loans, and any other amounts due such Lender hereunder, to the Swingline Lender to fund Swingline Loans in the amount of the participation in Swingline Loans that such Lender failed to purchase pursuant to this Section until such amount has been purchased (as a result of such assignment or otherwise). A Lender’s obligation to make payments in respect of a participation in a Swingline Loan shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) any claim of setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or any other Person may have or claim against the Agent, the Swingline Lender or any other Person whatsoever, (ii) the occurrence or continuation of a Default or Event of Default (including without limitation, any of the Defaults or Events of Default described in Section 11.1.(f) or 11.1.(g)) or the termination of the Commitments of any Lender, (iii) the existence (or alleged existence) of an event or condition which has had or could have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) any breach of any Loan Document by the Agent, any Lender or the Borrower or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing.

(f) Defaulting Lenders. Upon demand by the Swingline Lender at any time while a Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent for the benefit of the Swingline Lender within one Business Day of such demand, cash collateral or other credit support satisfactory to the Swingline Lender in its sole discretion in an amount equal to such Defaulting Lender’s or Potential Defaulting Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans then outstanding; provided, however, that the amount of cash collateral required to be provided by the Borrower pursuant to this subsection (f) will be reduced by the amount of cash collateral then held by the Agent pursuant to Section 3.11.(b) for the purpose of cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of Swingline Loans then outstanding.

Section 2.4. Letters of Credit.

(a) Letters of Credit. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation, Section 2.15., the Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, agrees to issue for the account of the Borrower during the period from and including the Effective Date to, but excluding, the date 30 days prior to the Termination Date one or more letters of credit (each a “Letter of Credit”) up to a maximum aggregate Stated Amount at any one time outstanding not to exceed the L/C Commitment Amount.

(b) Terms of Letters of Credit. At the time of issuance, the amount, form, terms and conditions of each Letter of Credit, and of any drafts or acceptances thereunder, shall be subject to approval by the Agent and the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event may the expiration date of any Letter of Credit extend beyond the earlier of (i) the date one year from its date of issuance or (ii) the Termination Date; provided, however, a Letter of Credit may contain a provision providing for the automatic extension of the expiration date in the absence of a notice of non-renewal from the Agent but in no event shall any such provision permit the extension of the expiration date of such Letter of Credit beyond the Termination Date.

(c) Requests for Issuance of Letters of Credit. The Borrower shall give the Agent written notice at least 5 Business Days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Agent in its sole discretion) prior to the requested date of issuance of a Letter of Credit, such notice to describe in reasonable detail the proposed terms of such Letter of Credit and the nature of the transactions or obligations proposed to be supported by such Letter of Credit, and in any event shall set forth with respect to such Letter of Credit the proposed (i) Stated Amount, (ii) beneficiary, and (iii) expiration date. The Borrower shall also execute and deliver such customary letter of credit application forms and other forms and agreements as reasonably requested from time to time by the Agent. Provided the Borrower has given the notice prescribed by the first sentence of this subsection and delivered such forms and agreements referred to in the preceding sentence, subject to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, including the satisfaction of any applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article VI., the Agent shall issue the requested Letter of Credit on the requested date of issuance for the benefit of the stipulated beneficiary but in no event prior to the date 5 Business Days (or such shorter period as may be acceptable to the Agent in its sole discretion) following the date after which the Agent has received all of the items required to be delivered to it under this subsection. The Agent shall not at any time be obligated to issue any Letter of Credit if such issuance would conflict with, or cause the Agent or any Lender to exceed any limits imposed by, any Applicable Law. References herein to “issue” and derivations thereof with respect to Letters of Credit shall also include extensions or modifications of any outstanding Letters of Credit, unless the context otherwise requires. Upon the written request of the Borrower, the Agent shall deliver to the Borrower a copy of each issued Letter of Credit within a reasonable time after the date of issuance thereof. To the extent any term of a Letter of Credit Document is inconsistent with a term of any Loan Document, the term of such Loan Document shall control.

(d) Reimbursement Obligations. Upon receipt by the Agent from the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of any demand for payment under such Letter of Credit, the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower of the amount to be paid by the Agent as a result of such demand and the date on which payment is to be made by the Agent to such beneficiary in respect of such demand; provided, however, the Agent’s failure to give, or delay in giving, such notice shall not discharge the Borrower in any respect from the applicable Reimbursement Obligation. The Borrower hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to pay and reimburse the Agent for the amount of each demand for payment under such Letter of Credit on or prior to the date on which payment is to be made by the Agent to the beneficiary thereunder, without presentment, demand, protest or other formalities of any kind (other than notice as provided in this subsection). Upon receipt by the Agent of any payment in respect of any Reimbursement Obligation, the Agent shall promptly pay to each Lender that has acquired a participation therein

under the second sentence of Section 2.4.(i) such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such payment.

(e) Manner of Reimbursement. Upon its receipt of a notice referred to in the immediately preceding subsection (d), the Borrower shall advise the Agent whether or not the Borrower intends to borrow hereunder to finance its obligation to reimburse the Agent for the amount of the related demand for payment and, if it does, the Borrower shall submit a timely request for such borrowing as provided in the applicable provisions of this Agreement. If the Borrower fails to so advise the Agent, or if the Borrower fails to reimburse the Agent for a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit by the date of such payment, then (i) if the applicable conditions contained in Article VI. would permit the making of Revolving Loans, the Borrower shall be deemed to have requested a borrowing of Revolving Loans (which shall be Base Rate Loans) in an amount equal to the unpaid Reimbursement Obligation and the Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of the amount of the Revolving Loan to be made available to the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. and (ii) if such conditions would not permit the making of Revolving Loans, the provisions of subsection (j) of this Section shall apply. The limitations of Section 3.5.(a) shall not apply to any borrowing of Revolving Loans under this subsection.

(f) Effect of Letters of Credit on Commitments. Upon the issuance by the Agent of any Letter of Credit and until such Letter of Credit shall have expired or been terminated, the Revolving Commitment of each Lender shall be deemed to be utilized for all purposes of this Agreement in an amount equal to the product of (i) such Lender’s Commitment Percentage and (ii) the sum of (A) the Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit plus (B) any related Reimbursement Obligations then outstanding.

(g) Agent’s Duties Regarding Letters of Credit; Unconditional Nature of Reimbursement Obligations. In examining documents presented in connection with drawings under Letters of Credit and making payments under Letters of Credit against such documents, the Agent shall only be required to use the same standard of care as it uses in connection with examining documents presented in connection with drawings under letters of credit in which it has not sold participations and making payments under such letters of credit. The Borrower assumes all risks of the acts and omissions of, or misuse of the Letters of Credit by, the respective beneficiaries of such Letters of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any of the Lenders shall be responsible for, and the Borrower’s obligations in respect of the Letters of Credit shall not be affected in any manner by, any of the following except to the extent resulting from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or a Lender, as applicable, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment: (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effects of any document submitted by any party in connection with the application for and issuance of or any drawing honored under any Letter of Credit even if it should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the validity or sufficiency 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 the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with conditions required in order to draw upon such Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any

messages, by mail, cable, facsimile, electronic mail, telecopy or otherwise, whether or not they be in cipher; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to make a drawing under any Letter of Credit, or of the proceeds thereof; (vii) the misapplication by the beneficiary of the proceeds of any drawing under any Letter of Credit; or (viii) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of the Agent or the Lenders. None of the above shall affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the Agent’s or any Lender’s rights or powers hereunder. Any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Agent under or in connection with any Letter of Credit, if taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment), shall not create against the Agent or any Lender any liability to the Borrower or any Lender. In this regard, the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the Agent for any drawing made under any Letter of Credit, and to repay any Revolving Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of the preceding subsection (e), shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and any other applicable Letter of Credit Document under all circumstances whatsoever, including without limitation, the following circumstances: (A) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Letter of Credit Document or any term or provisions therein; (B) any amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from all or any of the Letter of Credit Documents; (C) the existence of any claim, setoff, defense or other right which the Borrower may have at any time against the Agent, any Lender, any beneficiary of a Letter of Credit or any other Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or in the Letter of Credit Documents or any unrelated transaction; (D) any breach of contract or dispute between the Borrower, the Agent, any Lender or any other Person; (E) any demand, statement or any other document presented under a Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any respect or any statement therein or made in connection therewith being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (F) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; (G) payment by the Agent under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a draft or certificate which does not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit; and (H) any other act, omission to act, delay or circumstance whatsoever that might, but for the provisions of this Section, constitute a legal or equitable defense to or discharge of the Borrower’s Reimbursement Obligations. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section or Section 13.9., but not in limitation of the Borrower’s unconditional obligation to reimburse the Agent for any drawing made under a Letter of Credit as provided in this Section and to repay any Revolving Loan made pursuant to the second sentence of the preceding subsection (e), the Borrower shall have no obligation to indemnify the Agent or any Lender in respect of any liability incurred by the Agent or such Lender arising solely out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or such Lender in respect of a Letter of Credit as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment. Except as otherwise provided in this Section, nothing in this Section shall affect any rights the Borrower may have with respect to the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Agent or any Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit.

(h) Amendments, Etc. The issuance by the Agent of any amendment, supplement or other modification to any Letter of Credit shall be subject to the same conditions applicable under this Agreement to the issuance of new Letters of Credit (including, without limitation, that

the request therefor be made through the Agent), and no such amendment, supplement or other modification shall be issued unless either (i) the respective Letter of Credit affected thereby would have complied with such conditions had it originally been issued hereunder in such amended, supplemented or modified form or (ii) the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if required by Section 13.6.) shall have consented thereto. In connection with any such amendment, supplement or other modification, the Borrower shall pay the Fees, if any, payable under the last sentence of Section 3.6.(b).

(i) Lenders’ Participation in Letters of Credit. Immediately upon the issuance by the Agent of any Letter of Credit each Lender shall be deemed to have irrevocably and unconditionally purchased and received from the Agent, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation to the extent of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the liability of the Agent with respect to such Letter of Credit, and each Lender thereby shall absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably assume, as primary obligor and not as surety, and shall be unconditionally obligated to the Agent to pay and discharge when due, such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Agent’s liability under such Letter of Credit. In addition, upon the making of each payment by a Lender to the Agent in respect of any Letter of Credit pursuant to the immediately following subsection (j), such Lender shall, automatically and without any further action on the part of the Agent or such Lender, acquire (i) a participation in an amount equal to such payment in the Reimbursement Obligation owing to the Agent by the Borrower in respect of such Letter of Credit and (ii) a participation in a percentage equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage in any interest or other amounts payable by the Borrower in respect of such Reimbursement Obligation (other than the Fees payable to the Agent pursuant to the third and last sentences of Section 3.6.(b)).

(j) Payment Obligation of Lenders. Each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Agent on demand in immediately available funds in Dollars the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of each drawing paid by the Agent under each Letter of Credit to the extent such amount is not reimbursed by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.4.(d); provided, however, that in respect of any drawing under any Letter of Credit, the maximum amount that any Lender shall be required to fund, whether as a Revolving Loan or as a participation, shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of such drawing. If the notice referenced in the second sentence of Section 2.4.(e) is received by a Lender not later than 11:00 a.m., then such Lender shall make such payment available to the Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of demand therefor; otherwise, such payment shall be made available to the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. on the next succeeding Business Day. Each Lender’s obligation to make such payments to the Agent under this subsection, and the Agent’s right to receive the same, shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional and shall not be affected in any way by any circumstance whatsoever, including without limitation, (i) the failure of any other Lender to make its payment under this subsection, (ii) the financial condition of the Borrower or any other Loan Party, (iii) the existence of any Default or Event of Default, including any Event of Default described in Section 11.1.(f) or 11.1.(g) or (iv) the termination of the Commitments. Each such payment to the Agent shall be made without any offset, abatement, withholding or deduction whatsoever.

(k) Information to Lenders. The Agent shall periodically deliver to the Lenders information setting forth the Stated Amount of all outstanding Letters of Credit. Other than as

set forth in this subsection, the Agent shall have no duty to notify the Lenders regarding the issuance or other matters regarding Letters of Credit issued hereunder. The failure of the Agent to perform its requirements under this subsection shall not relieve any Lender from its obligations under Section 2.4.(j).

(l) Defaulting Lenders. Upon demand by the Agent at any time while a Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent within one Business Day of such demand, cash collateral or other credit support satisfactory to the Agent in its sole discretion in an amount equal to such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then outstanding; provided, however, that the amount of cash collateral required to be provided by the Borrower pursuant to this subsection (l) will be reduced by the amount of cash collateral then held by the Agent pursuant to Section 3.11.(b) for the purpose of cash collateralizing such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then outstanding.

Section 2.5. Rates and Payment of Interest on Loans.

(a) Rates. The Borrower promises to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Loan made by such Lender for the period from and including the date of the making of such Loan to but excluding the date such Loan shall be paid in full, at the following per annum rates:

(i) during such periods as such Loan is a Base Rate Loan, at the Base Rate (as in effect from time to time) plus the Applicable Margin; and

(ii) during such periods as such Loan is a LIBOR Loan, at LIBOR for such Loan for the Interest Period therefor plus the Applicable Margin.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, while an Event of Default exists, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender interest at the Post-Default Rate on the outstanding principal amount of any Loan made by such Lender, on all Reimbursement Obligations and on any other amount payable by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes held by such Lender to or for the account of such Lender (including without limitation, accrued but unpaid interest to the extent permitted under Applicable Law).

(b) Payment of Interest. Accrued and unpaid interest on each Loan shall be payable (i) monthly in arrears on the first day of each calendar month, commencing with the first full calendar month occurring after the Effective Date and (ii) on any date on which the principal balance of such Loan is due and payable in full (whether at maturity, due to acceleration or otherwise). Interest payable at the Post-Default Rate shall be payable from time to time on demand. Promptly after the determination of any interest rate provided for herein or any change therein, the Agent shall give notice thereof to the Lenders to which such interest is payable and to the Borrower. All determinations by the Agent of an interest rate hereunder shall be conclusive and binding on the Lenders and the Borrower for all purposes, absent manifest error.

(c) Inaccurate Financial Statements or Compliance Certificates. If any financial statement or Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 9.3. is shown to be inaccurate

as a result of any action or inaction on the part of the Borrower, and not as a result of any adjustments or modifications in GAAP or any other applicable accounting rules made subsequent to the delivery of any such financial statement or Compliance Certificate having a retroactive effect (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) the Borrower shall immediately deliver to the Agent a correct Compliance Certificate for such Applicable Period and (ii) the Borrower shall immediately pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders the additional accrued additional interest owing calculated based on such higher Applicable Margin for such Applicable Period, which payment shall be promptly applied by the Agent in accordance with Section 3.2. This subsection shall not in any way limit the rights of the Agent and Lenders (x) with respect to the last sentence of the immediately preceding subsection (a) or (y) under Article XI. The Borrower shall not be required to reimburse the Agent or the Lenders in relation to any recalculation of interest or fees required by this provision at any time after the first anniversary of the Termination Date.

Section 2.6. Number of Interest Periods.

There may be no more than (a) 8 different Interest Periods for LIBOR Loans that are Revolving Loans and (b) 4 different Interest Periods for Term Loans, in each case, outstanding at the same time.

Section 2.7. Repayment of Loans.

The Borrower shall repay the entire outstanding principal amount of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Revolving Loans and the Term Loans on the Termination Date.

Section 2.8. Prepayments.

(a) Optional. Subject to Section 5.4., the Borrower may prepay any Loan at any time without premium or penalty. The Borrower shall give the Agent at least one Business Day’s prior written notice of the prepayment of any Revolving Loan or Term Loan.

(b) Mandatory. If at any time:

(i) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, exceeds the Borrowing Base at such time, or

(ii) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans and Swingline Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, exceeds the aggregate Revolving Commitments at such time,

the Borrower shall, within 3 calendar days after the occurrence of such excess, pay to the Agent for the accounts of the Lenders the amount of such excess.

(c) Application of Prepayments. Amounts paid under the preceding subsection (b) shall be applied to pay all amounts of principal outstanding on the Loans and any Reimbursement Obligations pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2. and if any Letters of Credit are outstanding at such time, the remainder, if any, shall be deposited into the Collateral Account for application to any Reimbursement Obligations. If the Borrower is required to pay any outstanding LIBOR Loans by reason of this Section prior to the end of the applicable Interest Period therefor, the Borrower shall pay all amounts due under Section 5.4.

(d) Derivatives Contracts. No repayment or prepayment pursuant to this Section shall affect any of the Borrower’s obligations under any Derivatives Contract between the Borrower and any Lender (or any Affiliate of any Lender).

Section 2.9. [Intentionally Omitted.]

Section 2.10. Continuation.

So long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist, the Borrower may on any Business Day, with respect to any LIBOR Loan, elect to maintain such LIBOR Loan or any portion thereof as a LIBOR Loan by selecting a new Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan. Each new Interest Period selected under this Section shall commence on the last day of the immediately preceding Interest Period. Each selection of a new Interest Period shall be made by the Borrower giving to the Agent a Notice of Continuation not later than 11:00 a.m. on the third Business Day prior to the date of any such Continuation. Such notice by the Borrower of a Continuation shall be by telephone or telecopy, confirmed immediately in writing if by telephone, in the form of a Notice of Continuation, specifying (a) the proposed date of such Continuation, (b) the LIBOR Loans and portions thereof subject to such Continuation and (c) the duration of the selected Interest Period, all of which shall be specified in such manner as is necessary to comply with all limitations on Loans outstanding hereunder. Each Notice of Continuation shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Continuation, the Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Continuation. If the Borrower shall fail to select in a timely manner a new Interest Period for any LIBOR Loan in accordance with this Section, or if a Default or Event of Default shall exist, such Loan will automatically, on the last day of the current Interest Period therefor, Convert into a Base Rate Loan notwithstanding the first sentence of Section 2.11. or the Borrower’s failure to comply with any of the terms of such Section.

Section 2.11. Conversion.

The Borrower may on any Business Day, upon the Borrower’s giving of a Notice of Conversion to the Agent, Convert all or a portion of a Revolving Loan or a Term Loan (including a Base Rate Loan made pursuant to Section 2.3.(e)) of one Type into a Loan of another Type; provided, however, a Base Rate Loan may not be Converted to a LIBOR Loan if a Default or Event of Default shall exist. Any Conversion of a LIBOR Loan into a Base Rate Loan shall be made on, and only on, the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Loan and, upon Conversion of a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan, the Borrower shall pay accrued interest to the date of Conversion on the principal amount so Converted. Each such Notice of Conversion shall be given not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Business Day prior to the date of any proposed Conversion into Base Rate Loans and on the third Business Day prior to the date of any

proposed Conversion into LIBOR Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion, the Agent shall notify each Lender of the proposed Conversion. Subject to the restrictions specified above, each Notice of Conversion shall be by telephone (confirmed immediately in writing) or telecopy in the form of a Notice of Conversion specifying (a) the requested date of such Conversion, (b) the Type of Loan to be Converted, (c) the portion of such Type of Loan to be Converted, (d) the Type of Loan such Loan is to be Converted into and (e) if such Conversion is into a LIBOR Loan, the requested duration of the Interest Period of such Loan. Each Notice of Conversion shall be irrevocable by and binding on the Borrower once given.

Section 2.12. Notes.

(a) Revolving Notes. The Revolving Loans made by each Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit L (each a “Revolving Note”), payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Revolving Commitment as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed.

(b) Term Notes. The Term Loans made by each Lender shall, in addition to this Agreement, also be evidenced by a promissory note of the Borrower substantially in the form of Exhibit M (each a “Term Note”), payable to the order of such Lender in a principal amount equal to the amount of its Term Commitment as originally in effect and otherwise duly completed.

(c) Records. The date, amount, interest rate, Type and duration of Interest Periods (if applicable) of each Loan made by each Lender to the Borrower, and each payment made on account of the principal thereof, shall be recorded by such Lender on its books and such entries shall be binding on the Borrower, absent manifest error; provided, however, that the failure of a Lender to make any such record shall not affect the obligations of the Borrower under any of the Loan Documents.

(d) Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Mutilated Notes. Upon receipt by the Borrower of (i) written notice from a Lender that a Note of such Lender has been lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated, and (ii) (A) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, an unsecured agreement of indemnity from such Lender in form reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower, or (B) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of such Note, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender a new Note dated the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated Note.

Section 2.13. Voluntary Reductions of the Revolving Commitments.

The Borrower shall have the right to terminate or reduce the aggregate unused amount of the Revolving Commitments (for which purpose use of the Revolving Commitments shall be deemed to include the aggregate amount of Letter of Credit Liabilities and the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans) at any time and from time to time without penalty or premium upon not less than 3 Business Days prior written notice to the Agent of each such termination or reduction, which notice shall specify the effective date thereof and the amount of any such reduction and shall be irrevocable once given and effective only upon receipt by the Agent; provided, however, if the Borrower seeks to reduce the aggregate amount of the

Revolving Commitments below $100,000,000, then the Revolving Commitments shall all automatically and permanently be reduced to zero. The Agent will promptly transmit such notice to each Lender. The Revolving Commitments, once terminated or reduced may not be increased or reinstated.

Section 2.14. Expiration or Maturity Date of Letters of Credit Past Termination Date.

If on the date the Revolving Commitments are terminated or reduced to zero (whether voluntarily, by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default or otherwise), there are any Letters of Credit outstanding hereunder, the Borrower shall, on such date, pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, an amount of money equal to the Stated Amount of such Letter(s) of Credit for deposit into the Collateral Account.

Section 2.15. Amount Limitations.

Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, no Lender shall be required to make a Loan, the Agent shall not be required to issue a Letter of Credit and no reduction of the Revolving Commitments pursuant to Section 2.13. shall take effect, if immediately after the making of such Loan, the issuance of such Letter of Credit or such reduction in the Revolving Commitments:

(a) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans, together with the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Swingline Loans and the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, would exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment at such time; or

(b) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Loans, together with the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities, would exceed the Borrowing Base at such time.

Section 2.16. Funds Transfer Disbursements.

(a) Generally. The Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent to disburse the proceeds of any Loan made by the Lenders or any of their Affiliates pursuant to the Loan Documents as requested by an authorized representative of the Borrower to any of the accounts designated in the Transfer Authorizer Designation Form. The Borrower agrees to be bound by any transfer request: (i) authorized or transmitted by the Borrower; or, (ii) made in the Borrower’s name and accepted by the Agent in good faith and in compliance with these transfer instructions, even if not properly authorized by the Borrower. The Borrower further agrees and acknowledges that the Agent may rely solely on any bank routing number or identifying bank account number or name provided by the Borrower to effect a wire of funds transfer even if the information provided by the Borrower identifies a different bank or account holder than named by the Borrower. The Agent is not obligated or required in any way to take any actions to detect errors in information provided by the Borrower. If the Agent takes any actions in an attempt to detect errors in the transmission or content of transfer or requests or takes any actions in an attempt to detect unauthorized funds transfer requests, the Borrower agrees that no matter how many times the Agent takes these actions the Agent will not in any situation be liable for failing to take or

correctly perform these actions in the future and such actions shall not become any part of the transfer disbursement procedures authorized under this provision, the Loan Documents, or any agreement between the Agent and the Borrower. The Borrower agrees to notify the Agent of any errors in the transfer of any funds or of any unauthorized or improperly authorized transfer requests within fourteen (14) days after the Agent’s confirmation to the Borrower of such transfer.

(b) Funds Transfer. The Agent will, in its sole discretion, determine the funds transfer system and the means by which each transfer will be made. The Agent may delay or refuse to accept a funds transfer request if the transfer would: (i) violate the terms of this authorization; (ii) require the use of a bank unacceptable to the Agent or any Lender or prohibited by any Governmental Authority; (iii) cause the Agent or any Lender, in their reasonable judgment, to violate any regulatory risk control program or guideline promulgated by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or any other similar program or guideline; or (iv) otherwise cause the Agent or any Lender to violate any Applicable Law.

(c) Limitation of Liability. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall be liable to the Borrower or any other parties for (i) errors, acts or failures to act of others, including other entities, banks, communications carriers or clearinghouses, through which the Borrower’s transfers may be made or information received or transmitted, and no such entity shall be deemed an agent of the Agent or any Lender, (ii) any loss, liability or delay caused by fires, earthquakes, wars, civil disturbances, power surges or failures, acts of government, labor disputes, failures in communications networks, legal constraints or other events beyond Agent’s or any Lender’s control, or (iii) any special, consequential, indirect or punitive damages, whether or not (x) any claim for these damages is based on tort or contract or (y) the Agent, any Lender or the Borrower knew or should have known the likelihood of these damages in any situation; provided, however, that, the Agent and the Lenders shall be liable to the extent any of the above were the result of the Agent’s or Lenders’ gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment. Neither the Agent nor any Lender makes any representations or warranties other than those expressly made in this Agreement.

ARTICLE III. PAYMENTS, FEES AND OTHER GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 3.1. Payments.

(a) Payments by the Borrower. Except to the extent otherwise provided herein, all payments of principal, interest and other amounts to be made by the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to the Agent at its Principal Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date on which such payment shall become due (each such payment made after such time on such due date to be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day). Subject to Section 11.5., the Borrower shall, at the time of making each payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, specify to the Agent the amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to which such payment is to be applied. Each payment received by the Agent for the account of a Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall be paid to such Lender by wire transfer of immediately available funds in accordance with the

wiring instructions provided by such Lender to the Agent from time to time, for the account of such Lender at the applicable Lending Office of such Lender. If the Agent fails to pay such amounts to such Lender, within one Business Day of receipt of such amounts, the Agent shall pay interest on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. If the due date of any payment under this Agreement or any other Loan Document would otherwise fall on a day which is not a Business Day such date shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable for the period of such extension.

(b) Presumptions Regarding Payments by Borrower. Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Agent for the account of the Lenders hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Agent may assume that the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may (but shall not be obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, distribute to the Lenders the amount due. In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders severally agrees to repay to the Agent on demand that amount so distributed to such Lender, with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to but excluding the date of payment to the Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on interbank compensation.

Section 3.2. Pro Rata Treatment.

Except to the extent otherwise provided herein: (a) each borrowing from the Lenders under Section 2.1.(a), 2.3.(d) and 2.4.(e) shall be made from the Lenders, each payment of the Fees under Section 3.6.(a) and under the first sentence of Section 3.6.(b) shall be made for the account of the Lenders, and each termination or reduction of the amount of the Revolving Commitments under Section 2.13. shall be applied to the respective Revolving Commitments of the Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Commitments; (b) each payment or prepayment of principal of Revolving Loans by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Revolving Loans held by them; (c) each payment of interest on Revolving Loans by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on such Loans then due and payable to the respective Lenders; (d) the making of Term Loans under Section 2.2.(a) shall be made from the applicable Lenders, pro rata according to the amounts of their respective Term Commitments; (e) each payment or prepayment of principal of Term Loans by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the respective unpaid principal amounts of the Term Loans held by them; (f) each payment of interest on Term Loans by the Borrower shall be made for the account of the Lenders pro rata in accordance with the amounts of interest on the Term Loans then due and payable to the respective applicable Lenders; (g) the Conversion and Continuation of Revolving Loans or Term Loans of a particular Type (other than Conversions provided for by Section 5.6.) shall be made pro rata among the Lenders according to the amounts of their respective Revolving Loans or Term Loans, as applicable, and the then current Interest Period for each Lender’s portion of each such Loan of such Type shall be coterminous; (h) the Lenders’ participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Letters of Credit under Section 2.4., shall be pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments; and (i) the Lenders’

participation in, and payment obligations in respect of, Swingline Loans under Section 2.3., shall be pro rata in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments. All payments of principal, interest, fees and other amounts in respect of the Swingline Loans shall be for the account of the Swingline Lender only (except to the extent any Lender shall have acquired and funded a participating interest in any such Swingline Loan pursuant to Section 2.3.(e), in which case such payments shall be pro rata in accordance with such participating interests).

Section 3.3. Sharing of Payments, Etc.

If a Lender shall obtain payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loan made by it to the Borrower under this Agreement, or shall obtain payment on any other Obligation owing by the Borrower or any other Loan Party through the exercise of any right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments directly to a Lender or other payments made by the Borrower or any other Loan Party to a Lender (other than any payment in respect of Specified Derivatives Obligations) not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and such payment should be distributed to the Lenders pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2. or Section 11.5., as applicable, such Lender shall promptly purchase from the other Lenders participations in (or, if and to the extent specified by such Lender, direct interests in) the Loans made by the other Lenders or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders in such amounts, and make such other adjustments from time to time as shall be equitable, to the end that all the Lenders shall, subject to Section 3.11. if applicable, share the benefit of such payment (net of any reasonable expenses which may be incurred by such Lender in obtaining or preserving such benefit) pro rata in accordance with Section 3.2. or Section 11.5., as applicable. To such end, all the Lenders shall make appropriate adjustments among themselves (by the resale of participations sold or otherwise) if such payment is rescinded or must otherwise be restored. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation (or direct interest) in the Loans or other Obligations owed to such other Lenders may exercise all rights of set-off, banker’s lien, counterclaim or similar rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct holder of Loans in the amount of such participation. Nothing contained herein shall require any Lender to exercise any such right or shall affect the right of any Lender to exercise, and retain the benefits of exercising, any such right with respect to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower.

Section 3.4. Several Obligations.

No Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender hereunder, and the failure of any Lender to make a Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by it hereunder shall not relieve the obligation of any other Lender to make any Loan or to perform any other obligation to be made or performed by such other Lender.

Section 3.5. Minimum Amounts.

(a) Borrowings and Conversions. Except as otherwise provided in Sections 2.3.(d) and 2.4.(e), each borrowing of Base Rate Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof. Each borrowing, Conversion and

Continuation of LIBOR Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount.

(b) Prepayments. Each voluntary prepayment of Revolving Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of $100,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the aggregate principal amount of Revolving Loans then outstanding). Each voluntary prepayment of Term Loans shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000 and integral multiples of $500,000 in excess thereof (or, if less, the aggregate principal amount of Term Loans then outstanding).

(c) Reductions of Revolving Commitments. Each reduction of the Revolving Commitments under Section 2.13. shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $5,000,000 and integral multiples of $2,000,000 in excess thereof.

(d) Letters of Credit. The initial Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit shall be at least $100,000.

Section 3.6. Fees.

(a) Unused Fee. During the period from the Effective Date to but excluding the Termination Date, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders an unused facility fee with respect to the average daily difference between the (i) aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loans plus the aggregate amount of all Letter of Credit Liabilities (the “Unused Amount”). Such fee shall be computed by multiplying the Unused Amount with respect to such quarter by the corresponding per annum rate set forth below:

Unused Amount	Unused Fee
> 50% of the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments	0.50	%
< 50% of the aggregate amount of Revolving Commitments	0.40	%

Such fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of each March, June, September or December of each calendar year. Any such accrued and unpaid fee shall also be payable on the Termination Date or any earlier date of termination of the Revolving Commitments or reduction of the Revolving Commitments to zero.

(b) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender a letter of credit fee at a rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin for LIBOR Loans (or while an Event of Default exists, at a per annum rate equal to 4.0%) times the daily average Stated Amount of each Letter of Credit for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit (x) through and including the date such Letter of Credit expires or is terminated or (y) to but excluding the date such Letter of Credit is drawn in full and is not subject to reinstatement, as the case may be. The fees provided for in the immediately preceding sentence shall be nonrefundable and payable in arrears on (i) the last day of March, June, September and December in each year, (ii) the Termination Date, (iii) the date the Revolving Commitments are terminated or reduced to zero and (iv) thereafter from time to time on demand

of the Agent. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for its own account and not the account of any Lender, an issuance fee in respect of each Letter of Credit equal to the greater of (i) $500 or (ii) one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum on the initial Stated Amount of such Letter of Credit payable (A) for the period from and including the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit through and including the expiration date of such Letter of Credit and (B) if the expiration date of any Letter of Credit is extended (whether as a result of the operation of an automatic extension clause or otherwise), for the period from but excluding the previous expiration date to and including the extended expiration date. The fees provided for in the immediately preceding sentence shall be nonrefundable and payable upon issuance (or in the case of an extension of the expiration date, on the previous expiration date). The Borrower shall pay directly to the Agent from time to time on demand all commissions, charges, costs and expenses in the amounts customarily charged by the Agent from time to time in like circumstances with respect to the issuance of each Letter of Credit, drawings, amendments and other transactions relating thereto.

(c) Administrative and Other Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay the administrative and other fees of the Agent as may be agreed to in writing by the Borrower and the Agent from time to time.

(d) Extension Fee Under Existing Credit Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the extension fee referenced in Section 3.6.(d) of the Existing Credit Agreement shall not be payable under this Agreement.

Section 3.7. Computations.

Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, any accrued interest on any Loan, any Fees or any other Obligations due hereunder shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed; provided, however, interest on Base Rate Loans shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable, and the actual number of days elapsed.

Section 3.8. Usury.

In no event shall the amount of interest due or payable on the Loans or other Obligations exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by Applicable Law and, if any such payment is paid by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or received by any Lender, then such excess sum shall be credited as a payment of principal, unless the Borrower shall notify the respective Lender in writing that the Borrower elects to have such excess sum returned to it forthwith. It is the express intent of the parties hereto that the Borrower not pay and the Lenders not receive, directly or indirectly, in any manner whatsoever, interest in excess of that which may be lawfully paid by the Borrower under Applicable Law.

Section 3.9. Agreement Regarding Interest and Charges.

The parties hereto hereby agree and stipulate that the only charge imposed upon the Borrower for the use of money in connection with this Agreement is and shall be the interest specifically described in Sections 2.5.(a)(i) and (ii) and in Section 2.3.(c). Notwithstanding the

foregoing, the parties hereto further agree and stipulate that all agency fees, syndication fees, unused fees, closing fees, letter of credit fees, underwriting fees, default charges, funding or “breakage” charges, increased cost charges, attorneys’ fees and reimbursement for costs and expenses paid by the Agent or any Lender to third parties or for damages incurred by the Agent or any Lender, in each case in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, are charges made to compensate the Agent or any such Lender for underwriting or administrative services and costs or losses performed or incurred, and to be performed or incurred, by the Agent and the Lenders in connection with this Agreement and shall under no circumstances be deemed to be charges for the use of money. All charges other than charges for the use of money shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when due.

Section 3.10. Statements of Account.

The Agent will account to the Borrower monthly with a statement of Loans, Letters of Credit, accrued interest and Fees, charges and payments made pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and such account rendered by the Agent shall be deemed conclusive upon the Borrower absent manifest error. The failure of the Agent to deliver such a statement of accounts shall not relieve or discharge the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 3.11. Defaulting Lenders.

(a) Generally. If any Lender shall become a Defaulting Lender, then such Defaulting Lender’s right to participate in the administration of the Loans, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, any right to vote in respect of any amendment, consent or waiver of the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or to direct any action or inaction of the Agent or to be taken into account in the calculation of the Requisite Lenders or the Supermajority Lenders, shall be suspended while such Lender remains a Defaulting Lender; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not permit an increase in such Lender’s Commitment or an extension of the maturity date of such Lender’s Loans or other Obligations owing to such Lender, in each case, without such Lender’s consent. If a Lender is a Defaulting Lender because it has failed to make timely payment to the Agent of any amount required to be paid to the Agent hereunder (without giving effect to any notice or cure periods), then the Agent shall be entitled (i) to collect interest from such Defaulting Lender on such delinquent payment for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on which the payment is made at the Federal Funds Rate, (ii) to withhold or setoff and to apply in satisfaction of the defaulted payment and any related interest, any amounts otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and (iii) to bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. No Commitment of any Lender shall be increased or otherwise affected, and except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section, performance by the Borrower of its obligations hereunder and the other Loan Documents shall not be excused or otherwise modified, as a result of the operation of this Section. The rights and remedies of the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders against a Defaulting Lender under this Section are in addition to any other rights and remedies the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may have against such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, Applicable Law or otherwise.

(b) Treatment of Payments. Until the Defaulting Lender Excess of a Defaulting Lender has been reduced to zero, any payment of the principal of the Revolving Loans or Term Loans shall, unless the Requisite Lenders agree otherwise, be applied to the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans and Term Loans of the applicable Lenders that are not Defaulting Lenders. Notwithstanding the terms of Section 3.3., no Defaulting Lender shall be entitled to any share in any payment obtained by any of the other Lenders on any Obligation owing by the Borrower or any Loan Party. Any amount paid by the Borrower, whether through the exercise of any Lender’s right of set-off, banker’s lien or counterclaim or similar right or otherwise or through voluntary prepayments, for the account of a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or any other Loan Document will not be paid or distributed to such Defaulting Lender, but will instead be retained by the Agent in a segregated non-interest bearing account until such Defaulting Lender has ceased to be a Defaulting Lender in accordance with subsection (f) below, and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, such amount may be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent in its sole discretion, first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or the Swingline Lender under this Agreement, second, if determined by the Agent or requested by the Swingline Lender, held in such account as cash collateral for such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then outstanding and for such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the aggregate principal amount of the Swingline Loans then outstanding, third, to the funding of any Loan in respect of which the such Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent, fourth, if so determined by the Agent and the Borrower, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Lender in respect of any Loans under this Agreement. If such Lender is still a Defaulting Lender and any amounts remain in such account on the date that the Commitments are terminated and all Obligations of the Borrower hereunder and under the other Loan Documents are paid in full, at which time such amounts will be applied by the Agent to the making of payments from time to time in the following order of priority: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent and the Swingline Lender under this Agreement; second, to the payment of interest then due and payable to the Lenders hereunder other than Defaulting Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such interest then due and payable to them; third, to the payment of Fees then due and payable to the Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders, ratably among them in accordance with the amounts of such Fees then due and payable to them; fourth, to pay principal of all Loans, Reimbursement Obligations and other Letter of Credit Liabilities then due and payable to the Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders hereunder ratably in accordance with the amounts thereof then due and payable to them; fifth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations then due and payable to the Lenders other than Defaulting Lenders; and sixth, after the termination of the Commitments and payment in full of all obligations of the Borrower hereunder, to pay amounts owing under this Agreement to such Defaulting Lender or as a court of competent jurisdiction may otherwise direct.

(c) Fees. During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender’s Commitment and outstanding Loans shall be excluded for purposes of calculating any Fee payable to the Lenders under Sections 3.6.(a) and (b), and during such period the Borrower shall not be required to pay, and such Defaulting Lender shall not be entitled to receive, any such Fees otherwise payable to such Defaulting Lender under such Sections.

(d) Borrowing Requests. While any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender, the Borrower authorizes each of the Agent and the Swingline Lender (which authorization is irrevocable and coupled with an interest) to give, in such Person’s discretion, Notices of Borrowing pursuant to Section 2.1. in such amounts and at such times as may be required to (i) reimburse any Reimbursement Obligation that has become due and payable, (ii) repay an outstanding Swingline Loan or (iii) cash collateralize the Obligations of the Borrower in respect of outstanding Letters of Credit in an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the obligations (contingent or otherwise) of such Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender in respect of such Letters of Credit.

(e) Purchase of Defaulting Lender’s Commitment. During any period that a Lender is a Defaulting Lender, the Borrower may, by giving written notice thereof to the Agent, such Defaulting Lender and the other Lenders, demand that such Defaulting Lender assign its Revolving Commitment and Term Loan to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.5.(b). 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 Revolving Commitment and Term Loan via an assignment subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.5.(b). In connection with any assignment initiated by the Borrower or any Lender who is not a Defaulting Lender, such Defaulting Lender shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to effect such assignment, including an appropriate Assignment and Acceptance and, notwithstanding Section 13.5.(b), shall pay to the Agent an assignment fee in the amount of $10,000.

(f) Cure. If the Borrower, the Agent and the Swingline Lender agree in writing in their discretion that a Lender that is a Defaulting Lender or a Potential Defaulting Lender should no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender, as the case may be, the Agent will so notify the Lenders, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions set forth therein, such Lender will, to the extent applicable, purchase such portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders and make such other adjustments as the Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the interest of the Lenders in the Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities to be on a pro rata basis in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages, whereupon such Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender; provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments made by or on behalf of the Borrower while such Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided, further, that except to the extent otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no cure by a Lender under this subsection of its status as a Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from such Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender or Potential Defaulting Lender.

Section 3.12. Taxes.

(a) Taxes Generally. All payments by the Borrower of principal of, and interest on, the Loans and all other Obligations shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any

present or future excise, stamp or other taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges of any nature whatsoever imposed by any taxing authority, but excluding (i) franchise taxes, (ii) any taxes imposed on or measured by any Lender’s assets, net income, receipts or branch profits, (iii) any taxes (other than withholding taxes) with respect to the Agent or a Lender that would not be imposed but for a connection between the Agent or such Lender and the jurisdiction imposing such taxes (other than a connection arising solely by virtue of the activities of the Agent or such Lender pursuant to or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document), and (iv) any taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges to the extent imposed as a result of the failure of the Agent or a Lender, as applicable, to provide and keep current (to the extent legally able) any certificates, documents or other evidence required to qualify for an exemption from, or reduced rate of, any such taxes fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges or required by the immediately following subsection (c) to be furnished by the Agent or such Lender, as applicable (such non-excluded items being collectively called “Taxes”). If any withholding or deduction from any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder is required in respect of any Taxes pursuant to any Applicable Law, then the Borrower will:

(i) pay directly to the relevant Governmental Authority the full amount required to be so withheld or deducted;

(ii) promptly forward to the Agent an official receipt or other documentation satisfactory to the Agent evidencing such payment to such Governmental Authority; and

(iii) pay to the Agent for its account or the account of the applicable Lender, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as is necessary to ensure that the net amount actually received by the Agent or such Lender will equal the full amount that the Agent or such Lender would have received had no such withholding or deduction been required.

(b) Tax Indemnification. If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate Governmental Authority or fails to remit to the Agent, for its account or the account of the respective Lender, as the case may be, the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify the Agent and the Lenders for any incremental Taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. For purposes of this Section, a distribution hereunder by the Agent or any Lender to or for the account of any Lender shall be deemed a payment by the Borrower.

(c) Tax Forms. Prior to the date that any Foreign Lender becomes a party hereto, such Foreign Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and the Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Internal Revenue Code or Treasury Regulations issued pursuant thereto (including Internal Revenue Service Forms W-8ECI and W-8BEN, as applicable, or appropriate successor forms), properly completed, currently effective and duly executed by such Foreign Lender establishing that payments to it hereunder and under the Notes are (i) not subject to United States Federal backup withholding tax and (ii) not subject to United States Federal withholding tax imposed under the Internal Revenue Code. Each such Foreign Lender shall, to the extent it may lawfully do so, (x) deliver further copies of such forms or other

appropriate certifications on or before the date that any such forms expire or become obsolete and after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form delivered to the Borrower or the Agent and (y) obtain such extensions of the time for filing, and renew such forms and certifications thereof, as may be reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Agent. The Borrower shall not be required to pay any amount pursuant to the last sentence of subsection (a) above to any Foreign Lender or the Agent, if it is organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside of the United States of America, if such Foreign Lender or the Agent, as applicable, fails to comply with the requirements of this subsection. If any such Foreign Lender, to the extent it may lawfully do so, fails to deliver the above forms or other documentation, then the Agent may withhold from any payments to be made to such Foreign Lender under any of the Loan Documents such amounts as are required by the Internal Revenue Code. If any Governmental Authority asserts that the Agent did not properly withhold or backup withhold, as the case may be, any tax or other amount from payments made to or for the account of any Lender, such Lender shall indemnify the Agent therefor, including all penalties and interest, any taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on the amounts payable to the Agent under this Section, and costs and expenses (including all reasonable fees and disbursements of any law firm or other external counsel and the allocated cost of internal legal services and all disbursements of internal counsel) of the Agent. The obligation of the Lenders under this Section shall survive the termination of the Commitments, repayment of all Obligations and the resignation or replacement of the Agent.

(d) USA Patriot Act Notice; Compliance. In order for the Agent to comply with the USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56), prior to any Person that would be a Foreign Lender becoming a party hereto, the Agent may request, and such Person shall provide to the Agent, its name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for the Agent to comply with Applicable Law.

ARTICLE IV. BORROWING BASE PROPERTIES

Section 4.1. Eligibility of Properties.

(a) Initial Borrowing Base Properties. As of the Agreement Date, the Lenders have approved for inclusion in calculations of the Borrowing Base the Properties identified on Schedule 4.1. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 4.2., such Properties shall become Borrowing Base Properties.

(b) Additional Borrowing Base Properties. If, after the Effective Date, the Borrower desires that any additional Eligible Property be included in calculations of the Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall so notify the Agent in writing, such notification to include a certification by the Borrower that such Property is an Eligible Property; provided, however, that (x) if any portion of a Property is leased under a ground lease that would qualify as a Ground Lease but for the failure to satisfy clause (a) of the definition of “Ground Lease”, or (y) if such Property is not primarily operated as a self-storage facility, and as a result of either condition set forth in the foregoing clauses (x) or (y), a Property would not qualify as an Eligible Property, then in such case, the Borrower may nevertheless submit such Property for inclusion in the Borrowing Base subject to the approval of the Requisite Lenders. No Property will be evaluated for inclusion as a Borrowing Base Property unless it is an Eligible Property, subject to the immediately preceding

sentence, and unless and until the Borrower delivers to the Agent each of the following, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent:

(i) A description of such Property, such description to include the age, location and size of such Property;

(ii) An operating statement for such Property audited or certified by a representative of the Borrower as being true and correct in all material respects and prepared in accordance with GAAP for the previous three fiscal years, provided that, with respect to any period such Property was not owned by the Borrower or a Subsidiary, such information shall only be required to be delivered to the extent reasonably available to the Borrower and such certification may be based upon the best of the Borrower’s knowledge;

(iii) A current rent roll in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit Q and a one-year occupancy history of such Property each certified by a representative of the Borrower to be true and correct, provided that, with respect to any period such Property was not owned by the Borrower or a Subsidiary, the occupancy history shall only be required to be delivered to the extent reasonably available to the Borrower and such certification may be based upon the best of the Borrower’s knowledge;

(iv) Such projections and other information concerning the anticipated operation of such Property as the Agent may reasonably request;

(v) Budgets with respect to any capital expenditures to be made with respect to such Property within the next twelve months; and

(vi) Such other information the Agent may reasonably request in order to evaluate the Property which information is readily available to the Borrower or can be obtained by the Borrower without unreasonable expense.

(c) Approval by Agent and Lenders; Appraisals. Upon receipt of all of the above items, the Agent shall order an Appraisal of such Property in order to determine the Appraised Value thereof. If, after receipt and review of all of the above items (other than the Appraisal), the Agent is prepared to proceed with acceptance of such Property as a Borrowing Base Property, the Agent will so notify the Borrower and each Lender within 10 Business Days after receipt of all of the above items (other than the Appraisal) and will submit all such items to the Lenders. After obtaining the Appraisal of such Property, the Agent will promptly submit the Appraisal and the Appraised Value to the Lenders, for approval by the Requisite Lenders and each Lender shall notify the Agent whether it approves of the designation of such Property as a Borrowing Base Property within 10 Business Days of the submission by the Agent of the Appraisal and the Appraised Value for such Property. If a Lender shall fail to so notify the Agent within the 10 Business Day Period set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, then such Lender shall be deemed to have approved of such Property. Upon approval of such Property by the Requisite Lenders, and upon execution and delivery of all of the documents

required to be provided under Section 4.2., such Property shall become a Borrowing Base Property.

(d) Tax Mitigation. In the case of any Property located in a jurisdiction imposing a mortgage recording tax, the Agent and the Lenders agree to take such actions as the Borrower may reasonably request to achieve any available and permissible mortgage recording tax savings, in each case consistent with local practice and Applicable Law, so long as taking such actions will not, in the Agent’s reasonable discretion, impair the Agent’s Lien on such Property.

Section 4.2. Conditions Precedent to a Property Becoming a Borrowing Base Property.

Section 4.4. Frequency of Calculations of Borrowing Base; Calculation Methodology.

Initially, the Borrowing Base shall be the amount set forth as such in the Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by the Borrower, and accepted by the Agent, under Section 6.1. Thereafter, the Borrowing Base shall be the amount set forth as such in a Borrowing Base Certificate delivered by the Borrower, and accepted by the Agent, from time to time under Section 4.2.(cc), 4.3.(a)(vi) or 9.3.(b). Any increase in the amount of the Borrowing Base shall become effective as of the next determination of the Borrowing Base as provided in this Section, provided that (a) the applicable Borrowing Base Certificate substantiates such increase and (b) if the increase in the Borrowing Base is attributable in whole or in part to an increase in the Appraised Value of a Borrowing Base Property, the Borrower delivers to the Agent prior to the effectiveness of such increase, and at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense, the following: (i) with respect to any such Borrowing Base Property not located in a Tie-In Jurisdiction, an endorsement to the title insurance policy in favor of the Agent with respect to such Property increasing the coverage amount thereof as related to such Property to not less than 100% of the Appraised Value of such Property and (ii) with respect to any such Borrowing Base Property located in a Tie-In Jurisdiction, an endorsement to the title insurance policy in favor of the Agent with respect to such Property increasing the coverage amount thereof as related to such Property to not less than the Appraised Value of such Property, as well as endorsements to all other existing title insurance policies issued to the Agent with respect to all other Properties located in Tie-In Jurisdictions reflecting an increase in the aggregate insured amount under the “tie-in” endorsements to an amount equal to the aggregate amount of the Appraised Values of all such Properties but in no event in an amount in excess of the aggregate amount of the Commitments.

Section 4.5. Frequency of Appraisals.

The Appraised Value of a Borrowing Base Property shall be determined or redetermined, as applicable, under each of the following circumstances:

(a) In connection with the acceptance of a Property as a Borrowing Base Property, the Agent shall determine the Appraised Value thereof as provided in Section 4.1.; or

(b) Upon the Borrower’s written request for a redetermination of the Appraised Value of a Property, the Agent shall redetermine the Appraised Value of such Property (based on a new Appraisal of such Property obtained by the Agent), all at the Borrower’s expense; or

(c) At any time on or before June 7, 2012, but no more than once during the term of this Agreement, the Agent may redetermine the Appraised Value of a Borrowing Base Property (based on a new Appraisal obtained by the Agent), all at the Borrower’s expense; or

(d) At any time while a Default or an Event of Default exists, the Agent may redetermine the Appraised Value of a Borrowing Base Property (based on a new Appraisal obtained by the Agent), all at the Borrower’s expense.

Section 4.6. Additional Appraisals Required under Applicable Law.

If under FIRREA or any other Applicable Law, a Lender is required to obtain an Appraisal of any Borrowing Base Property in addition to any other Appraisal previously obtained with respect to such Property pursuant to this Agreement, the Agent shall have the right to cause such an Appraisal to be prepared at the Borrower’s cost and expense. The Borrowing Base shall be redetermined as a result of delivery of any such new Appraisal if Applicable Law requires such redetermination, in which case the Borrowing Base shall be redetermined in the manner required under such Applicable Law.

ARTICLE V. YIELD PROTECTION, ETC.

Section 5.1. Additional Costs; Capital Adequacy.

(a) Capital Adequacy. If any Lender or any Participant in the Loan determines that compliance with any law or regulation or with any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law) affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or such Participant, or any corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant, as a consequence of, or with reference to, such Lender’s or such Participant’s or such corporation’s Commitments or its making or maintaining Loans below the rate which such Lender or such Participant or such corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant could have achieved but for such compliance (taking into account the policies of such Lender or such Participant or such corporation with regard to capital), then the Borrower shall, from time to time, within thirty (30) calendar days after written demand by such Lender or such Participant, pay to such Lender or such Participant additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such Participant or such corporation controlling such Lender or such Participant to the extent that such Lender or such Participant determines such increase in capital is allocable to such Lender’s or such Participant’s obligations hereunder. Any Participant’s right to receive compensation pursuant to this subsection (a) is limited by the terms of Section 13.5.(d) and (e).

(b) Additional Costs. In addition to, and not in limitation of the immediately preceding clause (a), the Borrower shall promptly pay to the Agent for the account of each

affected Lender from time to time such amounts as such Lender may determine to be necessary to compensate such Lender for any costs incurred by such Lender that it determines are attributable to its making or maintaining of any LIBOR Loans or its obligation to make any LIBOR Loans hereunder, any reduction in any amount receivable by such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or such obligation or the maintenance by such Lender of capital in respect of its Loans or its Commitments (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts receivable being herein called “Additional Costs”), to the extent resulting from any Regulatory Change that: (i) changes the basis of taxation of any amounts payable to such Lender under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in respect of any of such Loans or its Commitments (other than taxes, fees, duties, levies, imposts, charges, deductions, withholdings or other charges which are excluded from the definition of Taxes pursuant to the first sentence of Section 3.12.(a)); or (ii) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or similar requirements (other than Regulation D of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System or other reserve requirement to the extent utilized in the determination of LIBOR for such Loan) relating to any extensions of credit or other assets of, or any deposits with or other liabilities of, such Lender, or any commitment of such Lender (including, without limitation, the Commitments of such Lender hereunder); or (iii) has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on capital of such Lender to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such Regulatory Change (taking into consideration such Lender’s policies with respect to capital adequacy).

(c) Lender’s Suspension of LIBOR Loans. Without limiting the effect of the provisions of the immediately preceding subsections (a) and (b), if, by reason of any Regulatory Change, any Lender either (i) incurs Additional Costs based on or measured by the excess above a specified level of the amount of a category of deposits or other liabilities of such Lender that includes deposits by reference to which the interest rate on LIBOR Loans is determined as provided in this Agreement or a category of extensions of credit or other assets of such Lender that includes LIBOR Loans or (ii) becomes subject to restrictions on the amount of such a category of liabilities or assets that it may hold, then, if such Lender so elects by notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent), the obligation of such Lender to make or Continue, or to Convert any other Type of Loans into, LIBOR Loans hereunder shall be suspended until such Regulatory Change ceases to be in effect (in which case the provisions of Section 5.6. shall apply).

(d) Additional Costs in Respect of Letters of Credit. Without limiting the obligations of the Borrower under the preceding subsections of this Section (but without duplication), if as a result of any Regulatory Change or any risk-based capital guideline or other requirement heretofore or hereafter issued by any Governmental Authority there shall be imposed, modified or deemed applicable any tax, reserve, special deposit, capital adequacy or similar requirement against or with respect to or measured by reference to Letters of Credit and the result shall be to increase the cost to the Agent of issuing (or any Lender of purchasing participations in) or maintaining its obligation hereunder to issue (or purchase participations in) any Letter of Credit or reduce any amount receivable by the Agent or any Lender hereunder in respect of any Letter of Credit, then, upon demand by the Agent or such Lender, the Borrower shall pay promptly, and in any event within 3 Business Days of demand, to the Agent for its account or the account of such Lender, as applicable, from time to time as specified by the Agent or a Lender, such

additional amounts as shall be sufficient to compensate the Agent or such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in amount.

(e) Notification and Determination of Additional Costs. Each of the Agent and each Lender and each Participant, as the case may be, agrees to notify the Borrower of any event occurring after the Agreement Date entitling the Agent or such Lender or such Participant to compensation under any of the preceding subsections of this Section as promptly as practicable; provided, however, the failure of the Agent or any Lender or any Participant to give such notice shall not release the Borrower from any of its obligations hereunder. The Agent or such Lender or such Participant agrees to furnish to the Borrower (and in the case of a Lender or a Participant, to the Agent) a certificate setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and amount of each request by the Agent or such Lender for compensation under this Section. Absent manifest error, determinations by the Agent or any Lender or any Participant of the effect of any Regulatory Change shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

Section 5.2. Suspension of LIBOR Loans.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination of LIBOR for any Interest Period:

(a) the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period, or

(b) the Agent reasonably determines (which determination shall be conclusive) that the relevant rates of interest referred to in the definition of LIBOR upon the basis of which the rate of interest for LIBOR Loans for an Interest Period is to be determined are not likely to adequately cover the cost to any Lender of making or maintaining such LIBOR Loans;

then the Agent shall give the Borrower and each Lender prompt notice thereof and, so long as such condition remains in effect, the Lenders shall be under no obligation to, and shall not, make additional LIBOR Loans, Continue LIBOR Loans or Convert Loans into LIBOR Loans and the Borrower shall, on the last day of each current Interest Period for each outstanding LIBOR Loan, either repay such Loan or Convert such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.

Section 5.3. Illegality.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Lender shall reasonably determine (which determination shall be conclusive and binding) that it has become unlawful for such Lender to honor its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Loans hereunder, then such Lender shall promptly notify the Borrower thereof (with a copy to the Agent) and such Lender’s obligation to make or Continue, or to Convert Loans of any other Type into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended until such time as such Lender may again make and maintain LIBOR Loans (in which case the provisions of Section 5.6. shall be applicable).

Section 5.4. Compensation.

The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of each Lender, upon the request of such Lender through the Agent, such amount or amounts as shall be sufficient (in the reasonable opinion of such Lender) to compensate it for any loss, cost or expense that such Lender reasonably determines is attributable to:

(a) any payment or prepayment (whether mandatory or optional) of a LIBOR Loan or Conversion of a LIBOR Loan, made by such Lender for any reason (including, without limitation, acceleration) on a date other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan; or

(b) any failure by the Borrower for any reason (including, without limitation, the failure of any of the applicable conditions precedent specified in Article VI. to be satisfied) to borrow a LIBOR Loan from such Lender on the requested date for such borrowing, or to Convert a Base Rate Loan into a LIBOR Loan or Continue a LIBOR Loan on the requested date of such Conversion or Continuation.

Not in limitation of the foregoing, such compensation shall include, without limitation, an amount equal to the then present value of (a) the amount of interest that would have accrued on such LIBOR Loan for the remainder of the applicable Interest Period at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loan, less (b) the amount of interest that would accrue on the same LIBOR Loan or for the same period if LIBOR were set on the date on which such LIBOR Loan was repaid, prepaid or Converted or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow, Convert or Continue such LIBOR Loan, calculating present value by using as a discount rate LIBOR quoted on such date. Upon the Borrower’s request, any Lender requesting compensation under this Section shall provide the Borrower with a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for requesting such compensation and the method for determining the amount thereof. Absent manifest error, determinations by any Lender in any such statement shall be conclusive, provided that such determinations are made on a reasonable basis and in good faith.

Section 5.5. Affected Lenders.

If (a) a Lender requests compensation pursuant to Section 3.12. or 5.1., and the Requisite Lenders are not also doing the same, or (b) the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(c) or 5.3. but the obligation of the Requisite Lenders shall not have been suspended under such Sections, then, so long as there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default, the Borrower may demand that such Lender (the “Affected Lender”), and upon such demand the Affected Lender shall promptly, assign its Revolving Commitment and Term Loan to an Eligible Assignee subject to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.5.(b) for a purchase price equal to the aggregate principal balance of all Loans then owing to the Affected Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest thereon and accrued but unpaid fees owing to the Affected Lender, or any other amount as may be mutually agreed upon by such Affected Lender and Eligible Assignee. Each of the Agent and the Affected Lender shall reasonably cooperate in effectuating the replacement of such Affected Lender under this Section, but at no time shall the Agent, such Affected Lender nor any other Lender be obligated in any way whatsoever to initiate

any such replacement or to assist in finding an Eligible Assignee. The exercise by the Borrower of its rights under this Section shall be at the Borrower’s sole cost and expense and at no cost or expense to the Agent, the Affected Lender or any of the other Lenders. The terms of this Section shall not in any way limit the Borrower’s obligation to pay to any Affected Lender compensation owing to such Affected Lender pursuant to Section 3.12. or 5.1. with respect to periods up to the date of replacement.

Section 5.6. Treatment of Affected Loans.

If the obligation of any Lender to make LIBOR Loans or to Continue, or to Convert Base Rate Loans into, LIBOR Loans shall be suspended pursuant to Section 5.1.(c) or 5.3., then such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be automatically Converted into Base Rate Loans on the last day(s) of the then current Interest Period(s) for LIBOR Loans (or, in the case of a Conversion required by Section 5.1.(c) or 5.3., on such earlier date as such Lender may specify to the Borrower with a copy to the Agent) and, unless and until such Lender gives notice as provided below that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1. or 5.3. that gave rise to such Conversion no longer exist:

(a) to the extent that such Lender’s LIBOR Loans have been so Converted, all payments and prepayments of principal that would otherwise be applied to such Lender’s LIBOR Loans shall be applied instead to its Base Rate Loans; and

(b) all Loans that would otherwise be made or Continued by such Lender as LIBOR Loans shall be made or Continued instead as Base Rate Loans, and all Base Rate Loans of such Lender that would otherwise be Converted into LIBOR Loans shall remain as Base Rate Loans.

If such Lender gives notice to the Borrower (with a copy to the Agent) that the circumstances specified in Section 5.1. or 5.3. that gave rise to the Conversion of such Lender’s LIBOR Loans pursuant to this Section no longer exist (which such Lender agrees to do promptly upon such circumstances ceasing to exist) at a time when LIBOR Loans made by other Lenders are outstanding, then such Lender’s Base Rate Loans shall be automatically Converted, on the first day(s) of the next succeeding Interest Period(s) for such outstanding LIBOR Loans, to the extent necessary so that, after giving effect thereto, all Loans held by the Lenders holding LIBOR Loans and by such Lender are held pro rata (as to principal amounts, Types and Interest Periods) in accordance with their respective Revolving Commitments.

Section 5.7. Change of Lending Office.

Each Lender agrees that it will use reasonable efforts (consistent with legal and regulatory restrictions) to designate an alternate Lending Office with respect to any of its Loans affected by the matters or circumstances described in Section 3.12., 5.1. or 5.3. to reduce the liability of the Borrower or avoid the results provided thereunder, so long as such designation is not disadvantageous to such Lender as determined by such Lender in its sole discretion, except that such Lender shall have no obligation to designate a Lending Office located in the United States of America.

Section 5.8. Assumptions Concerning Funding of LIBOR Loans.

Calculation of all amounts payable to a Lender under this Article V. shall be made as though such Lender had actually funded LIBOR Loans through the purchase of deposits in the relevant market bearing interest at the rate applicable to such LIBOR Loans in an amount equal to the amount of the LIBOR Loans and having a maturity comparable to the relevant Interest Period; provided, however, that each Lender may fund each of its LIBOR Loans in any manner it sees fit and the foregoing assumption shall be used only for calculation of amounts payable under this Article V.

care in the custody and preservation of any funds held in the Collateral Account and shall be deemed to have exercised such care if such funds are accorded treatment substantially equivalent to that which the Agent accords other funds deposited with the Agent, it being understood that the Agent shall not have any responsibility for taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any funds held in the Collateral Account.

(c) If a drawing pursuant to any Letter of Credit occurs on or prior to the expiration date of such Letter of Credit, the Borrower and the Lenders authorize the Agent to use the monies deposited in the Collateral Account and proceeds thereof to make payment to the beneficiary with respect to such drawing or the payee with respect to such presentment.

(d) If an Event of Default exists, the Requisite Lenders may, in their discretion, at any time and from time to time, instruct the Agent to liquidate any such investments and reinvestments and apply proceeds thereof to the Obligations in accordance with Section 11.5.

(e) So long as no Default or Event of Default exists, and to the extent amounts on deposit in or credited to the Collateral Account exceed the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities then due and owing, the Agent shall, from time to time, at the request of the Borrower, deliver to the Borrower within 10 Business Days after the Agent’s receipt of such request from the Borrower, against receipt but without any recourse, warranty or representation whatsoever, such amount of the credit balances in the Collateral Account as exceeds the aggregate amount of the Letter of Credit Liabilities at such time.

(f) The Borrower shall pay to the Agent from time to time such fees as the Agent normally charges for similar services in connection with the Agent’s administration of the Collateral Account and investments and reinvestments of funds therein.

Section 11.7. Performance by Agent.

If the Borrower shall fail to perform any covenant, duty or agreement contained in any of the Loan Documents, the Agent may, after notice to the Borrower, perform or attempt to perform such covenant, duty or agreement on behalf of the Borrower after the expiration of any cure or grace periods set forth herein. In such event, the Borrower shall, at the request of the Agent, promptly pay any amount reasonably expended by the Agent in such performance or attempted performance to the Agent, together with interest thereon at the applicable Post-Default Rate from the date of such expenditure until paid. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any liability or responsibility whatsoever for the performance of any obligation of the Borrower under this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

Section 11.8. Rights Cumulative.

The rights and remedies of the Agent and the other Secured Parties under this Agreement, each of the other Loan Documents and each of the Specified Derivatives Contracts shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which any of them may otherwise have under Applicable Law. In exercising their respective rights and remedies the Agent and the other Secured Parties may be selective and no failure or delay by the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver of it, nor shall any single or partial

100

exercise of any power or right preclude its other or further exercise or the exercise of any other power or right.

ARTICLE XII. THE AGENT

Section 12.1. Authorization and Action.

Each Lender hereby appoints and authorizes the Agent to take such action as contractual representative on such Lender’s behalf and to exercise such powers under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Not in limitation of the foregoing, each Lender authorizes and directs the Agent to enter into the Loan Documents for the benefit of the Lenders. Each Lender hereby agrees that, except as otherwise set forth herein, any action taken by the Requisite Lenders in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Loan Documents, and the exercise by the Requisite Lenders of the powers set forth herein or therein, together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, shall be authorized and binding upon all of the Lenders. Nothing herein shall be construed to deem the Agent a trustee or fiduciary for any Lender or to impose on the Agent duties or obligations other than those expressly provided for herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the use of the terms “Agent”, “Administrative Agent”, “agent” and similar terms in the Loan Documents with reference to the Agent is not intended to connote any fiduciary or other implied (or express) obligations arising under agency doctrine of any Applicable Law. Instead, use of such terms is merely a matter of market custom, and is intended to create or reflect only an administrative relationship between independent contracting parties. At the request of a Lender, the Agent will forward to such Lender copies or, where appropriate, originals of the documents delivered to the Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. The Agent will also furnish to any Lender, upon the request of such Lender, a copy of any certificate or notice furnished to the Agent by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate of the Borrower, pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document not already delivered to such Lender pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or any such other Loan Document. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, enforcement or collection of any of the Obligations), the Agent shall not be required to exercise any discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting) upon the instructions of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if explicitly required under any other provision of this Agreement), and such instructions shall be binding upon all Lenders and all holders of any of the Obligations; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Agent shall not be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to personal liability or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or Applicable Law. Not in limitation of the foregoing, the Agent may exercise any right or remedy it or the Lenders may have under any Loan Document upon the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Agent otherwise. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the Agent acting or refraining from acting under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions of the Requisite Lenders, or where applicable, all the Lenders.

101

Section 12.2. Agent’s Reliance, Etc.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Documents, neither the Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees or counsel shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent: (a) may treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Agent receives written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof signed by such payee and in form satisfactory to the Agent; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including its own counsel or counsel for the Borrower or any other Loan Party), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (c) makes no warranty or representation to any Lender or any other Person and shall not be responsible to any Lender or any other Person for any statements, warranties or representations made by any Person in or in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (d) shall not have any duty to ascertain or to inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the satisfaction of any conditions precedent under this Agreement or any Loan Document on the part of the Borrower or other Persons (except for the delivery to it of any certificate or document specifically required to be delivered to it pursuant to Section 6.1.) or inspect the property, books or records of the Borrower or any other Person; (e) shall not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness, sufficiency or value of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any other instrument or document furnished pursuant thereto or any collateral covered thereby or the perfection or priority of any Lien in favor of the Agent on behalf of the Secured Parties in any such collateral; and (f) shall incur no liability under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by acting upon any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by telephone, telecopy, or electronic mail) believed by it to be genuine and signed, sent or given by the proper party or parties. The Agent may execute any of its duties under the Loan Documents by or through agents, employees or attorneys-in-fact. Unless set forth in writing to the contrary, the making of its initial Loan by a Lender shall constitute a certification by such Lender to the Agent and the other Lenders that the Borrower has satisfied the conditions precedent for initial Loans set forth in Sections 6.1. and 6.2. that have not previously been waived by the Requisite Lenders.

Section 12.3. Notice of Defaults.

The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to this Agreement, describing with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a “notice of default.” If any Lender (excluding the Lender which is also serving as the Agent) becomes aware of any Default or Event of Default, it shall promptly send to the Agent such a “notice of default.” Further, if the Agent receives such a “notice of default”, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to the Lenders.

102

Section 12.4. Agent as Lender.

The Lender acting as Agent shall have the same rights and powers under this Agreement and any other Loan Document as any other Lender and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent; and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall, unless otherwise expressly indicated, include the Lender then acting as Agent in each case in its individual capacity. Such Lender and its Affiliates may each accept deposits from, maintain deposits or credit balances for, invest in, lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, serve as financial advisor to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof as if it were any other bank and without any duty to account therefor to the other Secured Parties. Further, such Lender and any Affiliate may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement, any Specified Derivatives Contract or otherwise without having to account for the same to the other Secured Parties. The Lenders acknowledge that, pursuant to such activities, the Lender acting as Agent or its Affiliates may receive information regarding the Borrower, other Loan Parties, other Subsidiaries and other Affiliates (including information that may be subject to confidentiality obligations in favor of such Person) and acknowledge that the Agent shall be under no obligation to provide such information to them.

Section 12.5. Collateral Matters; Protective Advances.

(a) Each Lender hereby authorizes the Agent, without the necessity of any notice to or further consent from any Lender, from time to time prior to an Event of Default, to take any action with respect to any Collateral or Loan Documents which may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfected the Liens upon the Collateral granted pursuant to any of the Loan Documents.

(b) The Lenders hereby authorize the Agent, at its option and in its discretion, to release any Lien granted to or held by the Agent upon any Collateral (i) upon termination of the Commitments and indefeasible payment and satisfaction in full of all of the Obligations and all Specified Derivatives Contracts and (ii) as expressly permitted by, but only in accordance with, the terms of the applicable Loan Document, including without limitation, in accordance with Section 4.3. Upon request by the Agent at any time, the Lenders will confirm in writing the Agent’s authority to release particular types or items of Collateral pursuant to this Section.

(c) Upon any sale and transfer of Collateral which is expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and upon at least five (5) Business Days’ prior written request by the Borrower, the Agent shall (and is hereby irrevocably authorized by the Lenders to) execute such documents as may be necessary to evidence the release of the Liens granted to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties herein or pursuant hereto upon the Collateral that was sold or transferred; provided, however, that (i) the Agent shall not be required to execute any such document on terms which, in the Agent’s opinion, would expose the Agent to liability or create any obligation or entail any consequence other than the release of such Liens without recourse or warranty and (ii) such release shall not in any manner discharge, affect or impair the Obligations or the Specified Derivatives Obligations or any Liens upon (or obligations of the Borrower or any other Loan Party in respect of) all interests retained by the Borrower or any other Loan Party, including (without limitation) the proceeds of such sale or transfer, all of which shall continue to constitute part of the Collateral. In the event of any sale or transfer of Collateral, or

103

any foreclosure with respect to any of the Collateral, the Agent shall be authorized to deduct all of the expenses reasonably incurred by the Agent from the proceeds of any such sale, transfer or foreclosure.

(d) The Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to the Secured Parties or to any other Person to assure that the Collateral exists or is owned by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary or is cared for, protected or insured or that the Liens granted to the Agent herein or pursuant hereto have been properly or sufficiently or lawfully created, perfected, protected or enforced or are entitled to any particular priority, or to exercise or to continue exercising at all or in any manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agent in this Section or in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Collateral, or any act, omission or event related thereto, the Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion, and that the Agent shall have no duty or liability whatsoever to the Lenders, except to the extent resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(e) The Agent may make, and shall be reimbursed by the Lenders (in accordance with their Commitment Percentages) to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower for, Protective Advances during any one calendar year with respect to each Borrowing Base Property up to the sum of: (i) amounts expended to pay real estate taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon such Property; (ii) amounts expended to pay insurance premiums for policies of insurance related to such Property; and (iii) $250,000 for each Borrowing Base Property; provided, however, the amount each Lender is required to reimburse the Agent under this clause (e) shall not exceed the amount of such Lender’s Revolving Commitment less its outstanding Revolving Loans and Letter of Credit Liabilities as of any date of determination. Protective Advances in excess of said sum during any calendar year for any Property that is Collateral shall require the consent of the Requisite Lenders. The Borrower agrees to pay on demand all Protective Advances.

(f) By their acceptance of the benefits of the Security Documents, each Lender that is at any time itself a Specified Derivatives Provider, or that has an Affiliate that is a Specified Derivatives Provider, hereby, for itself, and on behalf of any such Affiliate, in its capacity as a Specified Derivatives Provider, irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Agent as its collateral agent, to take such action as contractual representative on such Specified Derivative Provider’s behalf and to exercise such powers under the Security Documents as are specifically delegated to the Agent by the terms of this Section 12.5., Section 12.6. and any Security Document, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto; provided, that this subsection (f) shall not affect any of the terms of a Specified Derivatives Contract or restrict a Specified Derivatives Provider from taking any action permitted by a Specified Derivatives Contract. For the avoidance of doubt, all references in this Section 12.5. to “Lender” or “Lenders” shall be deemed to include each Lender (and Affiliate thereof) in its capacity as a Specified Derivatives Provider.

Section 12.6. Post-Foreclosure Plans.

If all or any portion of the Collateral is acquired by the Agent or its nominee as a result of a foreclosure or the acceptance of a deed or assignment in lieu of foreclosure, or is retained in satisfaction of all or any part of the Obligations or Specified Derivatives Obligations, the title to

104

any such Collateral, or any portion thereof, shall be held in the name of the Agent or a nominee or Subsidiary of the Agent, as administrative agent, for the ratable benefit of all Secured Parties. The Agent shall prepare a recommended course of action for such Collateral (a “Post-Foreclosure Plan”), which shall be subject to the approval of the Supermajority Lenders. In accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, the Agent shall manage, operate, repair, administer, complete, construct, restore or otherwise deal with the Collateral acquired, and shall administer all transactions relating thereto, including, without limitation, employing a management agent, leasing agent and other agents, contractors and employees, including agents for the sale of such Collateral, and the collecting of rents and other sums from such Collateral and paying the expenses of such Collateral. Actions taken by the Agent with respect to the Collateral, which are not specifically provided for in the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan or reasonably incidental thereto, shall require the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders by way of supplement to such Post-Foreclosure Plan. Upon demand therefor from time to time, each Lender will contribute its share (based on its Commitment Percentage) of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Agent pursuant to the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan in connection with the construction, operation, management, maintenance, leasing and sale of such Collateral. In addition, the Agent shall render or cause to be rendered to each Secured Party, on a periodic basis (but in any event once per calendar quarter), an income and expense statement for such Collateral, and each Lender shall promptly contribute its Commitment Percentage of any operating loss for such Collateral, and such other expenses and operating reserves as the Agent shall deem reasonably necessary pursuant to and in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan. To the extent there is Net Operating Income from such Collateral, the Agent shall, in accordance with the approved Post-Foreclosure Plan, determine the amount and timing of distributions to the Secured Parties. All such distributions shall be made to the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages. The Secured Parties acknowledge and agree that if title to any Collateral is obtained by the Agent or its nominee, such Collateral will not be held as a permanent investment but will be liquidated and the proceeds of such liquidation will be distributed in accordance with Section 11.5. as soon as practicable. The Agent shall undertake to sell such Collateral, at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Requisite Lenders reasonably shall determine to be most advantageous to the Secured Parties. Any purchase money mortgage or deed of trust taken in connection with the disposition of such Collateral in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall name the Agent, as Agent for the Lenders, as the beneficiary or mortgagee. In such case, the Agent and the Lenders shall enter into an agreement with respect to such purchase money mortgage or deed of trust defining the rights of the Lenders in the same Commitment Percentages as provided hereunder, which agreement shall be in all material respects similar to this Article insofar as the same is appropriate or applicable.

Section 12.7. Approvals of Lenders.

All communications from the Agent to any Lender requesting such Lender’s determination, consent, approval or disapproval (a) shall be given in the form of a written notice to such Lender, (b) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or issue as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise such Lender where information, if any, regarding such matter or issue may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (c) shall include, if reasonably requested by such Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and, as appropriate, a

105

brief summary of all oral information provided to the Agent by the Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (d) shall include the Agent’s recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event within 10 Business Days (or such lesser or greater period as may be specifically required under the Loan Documents) of receipt of such communication. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, unless a Lender shall give written notice to the Agent that it specifically objects to the recommendation or determination of the Agent (together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within the applicable time period for reply, such Lender shall be deemed to have conclusively approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination.

Section 12.8. Lender Credit Decision, Etc.

Each Lender expressly acknowledges and agrees that neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates has made any representations or warranties as to the financial condition, operations, creditworthiness, solvency or other information concerning the business or affairs of the Borrower, any other Loan Party, any Subsidiary or any other Person to such Lender and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the affairs of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Subsidiary, shall be deemed to constitute any such representation or warranty by the Agent to any Lender. Each Lender acknowledges that it has made its own credit and legal analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Agent, or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on the financial statements of the Borrower, the Subsidiaries or any other Affiliate thereof, and inquiries of such Persons, its independent due diligence of the business and affairs of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties, the Subsidiaries and other Persons, its review of the Loan Documents, the legal opinions required to be delivered to it hereunder, the advice of its own counsel and such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Agent, any other Lender or counsel to the Agent or any of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and based on such review, advice, documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under the Loan Documents. The Agent shall not be required to keep itself informed as to the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party of the Loan Documents or any other document referred to or provided for therein or to inspect the properties or books of, or make any other investigation of, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person. Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly required to be furnished to the Lenders by the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility to provide any Lender with any credit or other information concerning the business, operations, property, financial and other condition or creditworthiness of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Affiliate thereof which may come into possession of the Agent, or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or other Affiliates. Each Lender acknowledges that the Agent’s legal counsel in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is only acting as counsel to the Agent and is not acting as counsel to such Lender.

106

Section 12.9. Indemnification of Agent.

Each Lender agrees to indemnify the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so) pro rata in accordance with such Lender’s respective Commitment Percentage, from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against the Agent (in its capacity as Agent but not as a Lender) in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents, any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby or any action taken or omitted by the Agent under the Loan Documents (collectively, “Indemnifiable Amounts”); provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such Indemnifiable Amounts to the extent resulting from the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment or if the Agent fails to follow the written direction of the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if expressly required hereunder) unless such failure results from the Agent following the advice of counsel to the Agent of which advice the Lenders have received notice. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing but subject to the preceding proviso, each Lender agrees to reimburse the Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower and without limiting the obligation of the Borrower to do so), promptly upon demand for its ratable share of any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees of the counsel(s) of the Agent’s own choosing) incurred by the Agent in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution, administration, or enforcement of, or legal advice with respect to the rights or responsibilities of the parties under, the Loan Documents, any suit or action brought by the Agent to enforce the terms of the Loan Documents and/or collect any Obligations, any “lender liability” suit or claim brought against the Agent and/or the Lenders, and any claim or suit brought against the Agent, and/or the Lenders arising under any Environmental Laws. Such out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel fees) shall be advanced by the Lenders on the request of the Agent notwithstanding any claim or assertion that the Agent is not entitled to indemnification hereunder upon receipt of an undertaking by the Agent that the Agent will reimburse the Lenders if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that the Agent is not so entitled to indemnification. The agreements in this Section shall survive the payment of the Loans and all other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan Documents and the termination of this Agreement. If the Borrower shall reimburse the Agent for any Indemnifiable Amount following payment by any Lender to the Agent in respect of such Indemnifiable Amount pursuant to this Section, the Agent shall share such reimbursement on a ratable basis with each Lender making any such payment.

Section 12.10. Successor Agent.

The Agent may (i) resign as Agent under the Loan Documents at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower or (ii) be removed as Agent under the Loan Documents if (x) the Agent is a Defaulting Lender or (y) for any acts or omissions of the Agent that constitute gross negligence or willfull misconduct of the Agent, in each case by the Requisite Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as the Agent) upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice to the Agent. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Requisite Lenders (other than the Lender then acting as the Agent in the case of the removal of the Agent under the immediately preceding sentence) shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent which

107

appointment shall, provided no Default or Event of Default exists, be subject to the Borrower’s approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (except that the Borrower shall, in all events, be deemed to have approved each Lender and any of its Affiliates as a successor Agent). If no successor Agent shall have been so appointed in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the resigning Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Lenders’ removal of the resigning Agent, then the resigning or removed Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a Lender, if any Lender shall be willing to serve, and otherwise shall be an Eligible Assignee. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a successor Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent, and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations under the Loan Documents. 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 Agent, in either case, to assume effectively the obligations of the current Agent with respect to such Letters of Credit. After any Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article XII. shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Agent under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Agent may assign its rights and duties under the Loan Documents to any of its Affiliates by giving the Borrower and each Lender prior written notice.

Section 12.11. Titled Agents.

Each of the Titled Agents in each such respective capacity, assumes no responsibility or obligation hereunder, including, without limitation, for servicing, enforcement or collection of any of the Loans, or for any duties as an agent hereunder for the Lenders. The titles of “ Joint Lead Arranger”, “Joint Bookrunner”, “Syndication Agent” and “Documentation Agent” are solely honorific and imply no fiduciary responsibility on the part of the Titled Agents to the Agent, the Borrower or any Lender and the use of such titles does not impose on the Titled Agents any duties or obligations greater than those of any other Lender or entitle the Titled Agents to any rights other than those to which any other Lender is entitled.

Subject to Section 3.3. and in addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, the Borrower hereby authorizes the Agent, each Lender, and each Affiliate of the Agent or any Lender, at any time while an Event of Default exists, without prior notice to the Borrower or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Agent exercised in its sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Agent, such Lender or any such Affiliate of the Agent or such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of any of the Obligations, irrespective of whether or not any or all of the Loans and all other Obligations have been declared to be, or have otherwise become, due and payable as permitted by Section 11.2., and although such Obligations shall be contingent or unmatured.

Section 13.4. Litigation; Jurisdiction; Other Matters; Waivers.

(a) EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE AGENT AND THE BORROWER HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, THE NOTES, OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY COLLATERAL OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

(b) EACH OF THE BORROWER, THE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY AGREES THAT ANY FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT AND ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA, SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG THE BORROWER, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS, PERTAINING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE LOANS AND LETTERS OF CREDIT, THE NOTES OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING HEREFROM OR THEREFROM OR THE COLLATERAL. THE BORROWER AND EACH OF THE LENDERS EXPRESSLY SUBMIT AND CONSENT IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH CLAIMS OR DISPUTES. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM, AND

111

EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY ANY PARTY OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY ANY PARTY OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

(c) THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED BY EACH PARTY WITH THE ADVICE OF COUNSEL AND WITH A FULL UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES THEREOF, AND SHALL SURVIVE THE PAYMENT OF THE LOANS AND ALL OTHER AMOUNTS PAYABLE HEREUNDER OR UNDER THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, THE TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION OF ALL LETTERS OF CREDIT AND THE TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

Section 13.5. Successors and Assigns.

(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, except that the Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an Eligible Assignee in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (b), (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of the immediately following subsection (d) or (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject to the restrictions of the immediately following subsection (f) (and any other attempted assignment or transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in the immediately following subsection (d) and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Affiliates and the partners, directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors of the Agent and the Lenders and of their respective Affiliates) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.

(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more assignees (an “Assignee”) all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it); provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:

(i) Minimum Amounts.

(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the assigning Lender’s Revolving Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and

(B) in any case not described in the immediately preceding subsection (A), the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitment (which for

112

this purpose includes Revolving Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the applicable Revolving Commitment is not then in effect, the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loans of the assigning Lender subject to each such assignment and the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan of such Lender (in each case determined as of the date the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement with respect to such assignment is delivered to the Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and Acceptance Agreement, as of the Trade Date) shall not be less than $5,000,000 in the case of a Revolving Commitment, or $5,000,000 in the case of a Term Loan, unless each of the Agent and, so long as no Default or Event of Default shall exist, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Term Loan, Revolving Loans and the Revolving Commitment assigned.

(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any assignment except to the extent required by clause (i)(B) of this subsection (b) and, in addition:

(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required unless (x) a Default or Event of Default shall exist at the time of such assignment or (y) such assignment is to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; and

(B) the consent of the Agent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for assignments in respect of a Revolving Commitment if such assignment is to a Person that is not already a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund.

(iv) Assignment and Acceptance. The parties to each assignment shall execute and deliver to the Agent an Assignment and Acceptance, together with a processing and recordation fee of $4,500 payable by Assignor for each assignment, and the assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.

(v) No Assignment to Borrower. No such assignment shall be made to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries.

(vi) No Assignment to Natural Persons. No such assignment shall be made to a natural person.

(vii) Assignments by Specified Derivatives Provider. If the assigning Lender (or its Affiliate) is a Specified Derivatives Provider and if after giving effect to such assignment such Lender will hold no further Loans or Commitments under this Agreement, such Lender shall undertake such assignment only contemporaneously with

113

an assignment by such Lender (or its Affiliate, as the case may be) of all of its Specified Derivatives Contracts to the Assignee or another Lender (or Affiliate thereof).

Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Agent pursuant to the immediately following subsection (c), from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by such Assignment and Acceptance, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the case of an Assignment and Acceptance covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be entitled to the benefits of Sections 5.4., 13.2. and 13.9. and the other provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents as provided in Section 13.10. with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that does not comply with this paragraph shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with the immediately following subsection (d).

(c) Register. The Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of the Borrower, shall maintain at the Principal Office a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal amounts of the Loans owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement, notwithstanding notice to the contrary. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender, at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to, the Borrower or the Agent, (other than as provided pursuant to Section 13.5.(e)) sell participations to any Person (other than a natural person or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries) (each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Revolving Commitment and/or the Loans owing to it); provided that (i) such Lender’s obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such obligations and (iii) the Borrower, the Agent and the Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations under this Agreement. Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) increase such Lender’s Commitment, (ii) extend the date fixed for the payment of principal on the Loans or portions thereof owing to such Lender or (iii) reduce the rate at which interest is payable thereon. Subject

114

to the immediately following subsection (e), the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.12., 5.1., 5.4. to the same extent as if it were the Lender it purchased such participation from and had acquired its interest by assignment pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 13.3. as though it were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 3.3. as though it were a Lender. Upon request from the Agent, a Lender shall notify the Agent and the Borrower of the sale of any participation hereunder.

(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to receive any greater payment under Sections 3.12., 5.1. and 5.4. than the applicable Lender would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant, unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to the benefits of Section 3.12. unless the Borrower consents to the participation sold to such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower and the Agent, to comply with Section 3.12.(c) as though it were a Lender.

(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as a party hereto.

(g) No Registration. Each Lender agrees that, without the prior written consent of the Borrower and the Agent, it will not make any assignment hereunder in any manner or under any circumstances that would require registration or qualification of, or filings in respect of, any Loan or Note under the Securities Act or any other securities laws of the United States of America or of any other jurisdiction.

Section 13.6. Amendments.

(a) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, any consent or approval required or permitted by this Agreement or any other Loan Document to be given by the Lenders may be given, and any term of this Agreement or of any other Loan Document may be amended, and the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary of any terms of this Agreement or such other Loan Document or the continuance of any Default or Event of Default may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively) with, but only with, the written consent of the Requisite Lenders (or the Agent at the written direction of the Requisite Lenders) and, in the case of an amendment to any Loan Document, the written consent of each Loan Party a party thereto; provided, however, any amendment of Sections 10.1. and 11.1.(m), or any amendment of any of the definitions related to such Sections 10.1. and 11.1.(m), or the performance or observance by the Borrower or any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary of the terms of such Sections 10.1. and 11.1.(m), or the waiver of the continuance of any Default or Event of Default resulting from a violation of Section 10.1. or a waiver of the continuance of any Event of Default under

115

Section 11.1.(m), may be made with, but only with, the written consent of the Supermajority Lenders (and, in the case of an amendment of such Sections, the Borrower).

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the prior written consent of each Lender adversely affected thereby, no amendment, waiver or consent shall do any of the following:

(i) increase the Commitments of the Lenders or subject the Lenders to any additional obligations;

(ii) reduce the principal of, or interest that has accrued or the rates of interest that will be charged on the outstanding principal amount of, any Loans or other Obligations;

(iii) reduce the amount of any Fees payable to the Lenders hereunder or postpone any date fixed for payment thereof;

(iv) modify the definition of the term “Termination Date” or otherwise postpone any date fixed for any payment of any principal of, or interest on, any Loans or any other Obligations (including the waiver of any Default or Event of Default as a result of the nonpayment of any such Obligations as and when due), or extend the expiration date of any Letter of Credit beyond the Termination Date;

(v) amend or otherwise modify the provisions of Section 3.2. or the definition of the term “Commitment Percentage”;

(vi) modify the definition of the term “Requisite Lenders” or “Supermajority Lenders” or otherwise modify in any other manner the number or percentage of the Lenders required to make any determinations or waive any rights hereunder or to modify any provision hereof, including without limitation, any modification of this Section 13.6. if such modification would have such effect;

(vii) release any Guarantor from its obligations under the Guaranty (except as otherwise permitted under Section 8.12.(c));

(viii) release the Lien of any Security Document except as permitted under Section 4.3. or Section 8.12.(d);

(ix) amend or otherwise modify the provisions of Section 2.15.; or

(x) increase the number of Interest Periods permitted with respect to Loans under Section 2.6.

(c) No amendment, waiver or consent, unless in writing and signed by the Agent, in such capacity, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, shall affect the rights or duties of the Agent under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Any amendment, waiver or consent relating to Section 2.3. or the obligations of the Swingline Lender

116

under this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the written consent of the Swingline Lender. Any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to any Loan Document that (i) diminishes the rights of a Specified Derivatives Provider in a manner or to an extent dissimilar to that affecting the Lenders or (ii) increases the liabilities or obligations of a Specified Derivatives Provider shall, in addition to the Lenders required hereinabove to take such action, require the consent of the Lender that is (or having an Affiliate that is) such Specified Derivatives Provider.

(d) No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon and any amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose set forth therein. Except as otherwise provided in Section 12.7., no course of dealing or delay or omission on the part of the Agent or any Lender in exercising any right shall operate as a waiver thereof or otherwise be prejudicial thereto. Any Event of Default occurring hereunder shall continue to exist until such time as such Event of Default is waived in writing in accordance with the terms of this Section, notwithstanding any attempted cure or other action by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person subsequent to the occurrence of such Event of Default. Except as otherwise explicitly provided for herein or in any other Loan Document, no notice to or demand upon the Borrower shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.

Section 13.7. Nonliability of Agent and Lenders.

The relationship between the Borrower, on the one hand, and the Lenders and the Agent, on the other hand, shall be solely that of borrower and lender. Neither the Agent nor any Lender shall have any fiduciary responsibilities to the Borrower or any other Loan Party and no provision in this Agreement or in any of the other Loan Documents, and no course of dealing between or among any of the parties hereto, shall be deemed to create any fiduciary duty owing by the Agent or any Lender to any Lender, the Borrower, any Subsidiary or any other Loan Party. Neither the Agent nor any Lender undertakes any responsibility to the Borrower to review or inform the Borrower of any matter in connection with any phase of the Borrower’s business or operations. In connection with all aspects of each transaction contemplated hereby, the Borrower and each other Loan Party acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that (a) the credit facilities provided for hereunder and any related arranging or other services in connection therewith (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other modification hereof or of any other Loan Document) are an arm’s-length commercial transaction between the Borrower, each other Loan Party and their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Agent and the Lenders, on the other hand; (b) neither the Agent nor any Lender has assumed or will assume any advisory, agency or fiduciary responsibility in favor of the Borrower or any other Loan Party with respect to any of the transactions contemplated hereby or the process leading hereto (irrespective of whether the Agent, any Lender or any of their respective Affiliates has advised or is currently advising the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates on other matters) and neither the Agent nor any Lender has any obligation to the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and (c) the Agent, the Lenders and their respective Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from those of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and neither the

117

Agent nor any Lender has any obligation to disclose any of such interests by virtue of any advisory, agency or fiduciary relationship.

Section 13.8. Confidentiality.

The Agent and each Lender shall use reasonable efforts to assure that information about the Parent, the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and other Subsidiaries, and the respective properties thereof and their operations, affairs and financial condition, not generally disclosed to the public, which is furnished to the Agent or any Lender pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, is used only for the purposes of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall not be divulged to any Person other than the Agent, the Lenders, and their respective agents who are actively and directly participating in the evaluation, administration or enforcement of the Loan Documents and other transactions between the Agent or such Lender, as applicable, and the Borrower, but in any event the Agent and the Lenders may make disclosure: (a) to any of their respective Affiliates (provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section 13.8.); (b) as reasonably requested by any potential or actual Assignee, Participant or other transferee in connection with the contemplated transfer of any Commitment or participations therein as permitted hereunder (provided they shall agree to keep such information confidential in accordance with the terms of this Section); (c) as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process or in connection with any legal proceedings or as otherwise required by Applicable Law; provided, however, if the Agent or a Lender receives a summons or subpoena to disclose any such confidential information to any Person, the Agent or such Lender, as applicable, shall, if legally permitted, endeavor to notify the Borrower thereof as soon as possible after receipt of such request, summons or subpoena and the Borrower shall be afforded an opportunity to seek protective orders, or such other confidential treatment of such disclosed information, as the Borrower and the Agent or such Lender, as applicable, may deem reasonable; (d) to the Agent’s or such Lender’s independent auditors and other professional advisors (provided they shall be notified of the confidential nature of the information); (e) after the happening and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to any other Person, in connection with the exercise by the Agent or the Lenders of rights hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents; (f) upon Borrower’s prior consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), to any contractual counter-parties to any swap or similar hedging agreement or to any rating agency; and (g) to the extent such information (x) becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section actually known to such Lender to be such a breach or (y) becomes available to the Agent or any Lender on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower or any Affiliate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Agent and each Lender may disclose any such confidential information, without notice to the Borrower or any other Loan Party, to Governmental Authorities in connection with any regulatory examination of the Agent or such Lender or in accordance with the regulatory compliance policy of the Agent or such Lender.

Section 13.9. Indemnification.

(a) The Borrower shall and hereby agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Agent, each of the Lenders, any Affiliate of the Agent or any Lender, and their respective directors, officers, shareholders, agents, employees and counsel (each referred to herein as an

118

“Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all of the following (collectively, the “Indemnified Costs”): losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or reasonable expenses of every kind and nature (including, without limitation, amounts paid in settlement, court costs and the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel incurred in connection with any litigation, investigation, claim or proceeding or any advice rendered in connection therewith, but excluding losses, costs, claims, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, judgments or expenses indemnification in respect of which is specifically covered by Section 3.12. or 5.1. or expressly excluded from the coverage of such Section 3.12. or 5.1.) incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with, arising out of, or by reason of, any suit, cause of action, claim, arbitration, investigation or settlement, consent decree or other proceeding (the foregoing referred to herein as an “Indemnity Proceeding”) which is in any way related directly or indirectly to: (i) this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the transactions contemplated thereby; (ii) the making of any Loans or issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder; (iii) any actual or proposed use by the Borrower of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit; (iv) the Agent’s or any Lender’s entering into this Agreement; (v) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders have established the credit facility evidenced hereby in favor of the Borrower; (vi) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders are creditors of the Borrower and have or are alleged to have information regarding the financial condition, strategic plans or business operations of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries; (vii) the fact that the Agent and the Lenders are material creditors of the Borrower and are alleged to influence directly or indirectly the business decisions or affairs of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries or their financial condition; (viii) the exercise of any right or remedy the Agent or the Lenders may have under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, including without limitation, the foreclosure upon, or seizure of, any Collateral or the exercise of any other rights of a secured party; (ix) any civil penalty or fine assessed by the OFAC against, and all reasonable costs and expenses (including counsel fees and disbursements) incurred in connection with defense thereof by, the Agent or any Lender as a result of conduct of the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any Subsidiary that violates a sanction enforced by the OFAC; or (x) any violation or non-compliance by the Borrower or any Subsidiary of any Applicable Law (including any Environmental Law) including, but not limited to, any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by (A) the Internal Revenue Service or state taxing authority or (B) any Governmental Authority or other Person under any Environmental Law, including any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by a Governmental Authority or other Person seeking remedial or other action to cause the Borrower or its Subsidiaries (or its respective properties) (or the Agent and/or the Lenders as successors to the Borrower) to be in compliance with such Environmental Laws; provided, however, that the Borrower shall not be obligated to indemnify any Indemnified Party for (A) any acts or omissions of such Indemnified Party in connection with matters described in this subsection to the extent arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment or (B) Indemnified Costs to the extent arising directly out of or resulting directly from claims of one or more Indemnified Parties against another Indemnified Party.

(b) The Borrower’s indemnification obligations under this Section 13.9. shall apply to all Indemnity Proceedings arising out of, or related to, the foregoing whether or not an Indemnified Party is a named party in such Indemnity Proceeding. In this regard, this indemnification shall cover all Indemnified Costs of any Indemnified Party in connection with any deposition of any Indemnified Party or compliance with any subpoena (including any

119

subpoena requesting the production of documents). This indemnification shall, among other things, apply to any Indemnity Proceeding commenced by other creditors of the Borrower or any Subsidiary, any shareholder of the Borrower or any Subsidiary (whether such shareholder(s) are prosecuting such Indemnity Proceeding in their individual capacity or derivatively on behalf of the Borrower), any account debtor of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or by any Governmental Authority. If indemnification is to be sought hereunder by an Indemnified Party, then such Indemnified Party shall notify the Borrower of the commencement of any Indemnity Proceeding; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Borrower shall not relieve the Borrower from any liability that it may have to such Indemnified Party pursuant to this Section 13.9.

(c) This indemnification shall apply to any Indemnity Proceeding arising during the pendency of any bankruptcy proceeding filed by or against the Borrower and/or any Subsidiary.

(d) All out-of-pocket fees and expenses of, and all amounts paid to third-persons by, an Indemnified Party shall be advanced by the Borrower at the request of such Indemnified Party notwithstanding any claim or assertion by the Borrower that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder, upon receipt of an undertaking by such Indemnified Party that such Indemnified Party will reimburse the Borrower if it is actually and finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party is not so entitled to indemnification hereunder.

(e) An Indemnified Party may conduct its own investigation and defense of, and may formulate its own strategy with respect to, any Indemnity Proceeding covered by this Section and, as provided above, all Indemnified Costs incurred by such Indemnified Party shall be reimbursed by the Borrower. No action taken by legal counsel chosen by an Indemnified Party in investigating or defending against any such Indemnity Proceeding shall vitiate or in any way impair the obligations and duties of the Borrower hereunder to indemnify and hold harmless each such Indemnified Party; provided, however, that if (i) the Borrower is required to indemnify an Indemnified Party pursuant hereto and (ii) the Borrower has provided evidence reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party that the Borrower has the financial wherewithal to reimburse such Indemnified Party for any amount paid by such Indemnified Party with respect to such Indemnity Proceeding, such Indemnified Party shall not settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party may settle or compromise any such Indemnity Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Borrower where (x) no monetary relief is sought against such Indemnified Party in such Indemnity Proceeding or (y) there is an allegation of a violation of law by such Indemnified Party.

(f) If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this Section are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under Applicable Law.

(g) The Borrower’s obligations under this Section shall survive any termination of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the payment in full in cash of the

120

Obligations, and are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any other of their obligations set forth in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to which it is a party.

(h) References in this Section to “Lender” or “Lenders” shall be deemed to include such Persons (and their Affiliates) in their capacity as Specified Derivatives Providers.

Section 13.10. Termination; Survival.

At such time as (a) all of the Commitments have been terminated, (b) all Letters of Credit have terminated or expired (or the Borrower’s obligations in respect of all outstanding Letters of Credit have been cash collateralized on terms acceptable to the Agent and the Borrower has executed and delivered a reimbursement agreement in form and substance acceptable to the Agent and such other documents requested by the Agent evidencing the Borrower’s reimbursement obligations in respect of such Letters of Credit), (c) none of the Lenders is obligated any longer under this Agreement to make any Loans and (d) all Obligations (other than obligations which survive as provided in the following sentence) have been paid and satisfied in full, this Agreement shall terminate. The indemnities to which the Agent, the Lenders and the Swingline Lender are entitled under the provisions of Sections 3.12., 5.1., 5.4., 12.9., 13.2. and 13.9. and any other provision of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and the provisions of Section 13.4., shall continue in full force and effect and shall protect the Agent, the Lenders and the Swingline Lender (i) notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, or of the other Loan Documents, against events arising after such termination as well as before and (ii) at all times after any such party ceases to be a party to this Agreement with respect to all matters and events existing on or prior to the date such party ceased to be a party to this Agreement.

Section 13.11. Severability of Provisions.

Any provision of this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 13.12. GOVERNING LAW.

THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

This Agreement and any amendments, waivers, consents or supplements may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all of which counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

121

Section 13.14. Obligations with Respect to Loan Parties.

The obligations of the Parent and the Borrower to direct or prohibit the taking of certain actions by the other Loan Parties as specified herein shall be absolute and not subject to any defense the Parent or the Borrower may have that the Parent or the Borrower does not control such Loan Parties.

Section 13.15. Limitation of Liability.

Neither the Agent nor any Lender, nor any Affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of the Agent or any Lender shall have any liability with respect to, and the Borrower hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by the Borrower in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

B - 6

under or about the Collateral, nor enter into any settlement agreement, consent decree, or other compromise in respect to any Hazardous Materials Claims, which remedial action, settlement, consent or compromise might, in Agent’s reasonable judgment, substantially impair the value of Indemnified Parties’ security hereunder; provided, however, that Agent’s prior consent shall not be necessary (a) with respect to any remedial action, to the extent such proposed remedial action proposes remedies and controls that are no more stringent than those remedies and controls consistent with the current use of the Collateral, or (b) in the event that the presence of any Hazardous Material on, under, or about the Collateral either poses an immediate threat to the health, safety or welfare of any individual or is of such a nature that an immediate remedial response is necessary and it is not possible to obtain such consent before taking such action, provided that in such event Indemnitor shall notify Agent as soon as practicable of any action so taken. Agent agrees not to withhold its consent, where such consent is required hereunder, if either (i) a particular remedial action is ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction, or (ii) Indemnitor establishes to the reasonable satisfaction of Agent that there is no reasonable alternative to such remedial action which would result in less impairment of Indemnified Parties’ security hereunder.

Section 7. Participation. Subject to Section 18 hereof, Indemnified Parties shall have the right to join and participate in, as a party if it so elects, any legal proceedings or actions initiated by any Person in connection with any Hazardous Materials Claims.

The obligations of Indemnitor under this Section shall include, but not be limited to, the burden and expense of defending all claims, suits and administrative proceedings or investigations or any directives of any governmental or quasi-governmental agency, department, commission, board, bureau or instrumentality even if such claims, suits or proceedings are groundless, false or fraudulent and

B - 7

conducting all negotiations of any description, and paying and discharging, when and as the same become due, any and all judgments, penalties or other sums due against any Indemnified Parties.

Indemnified Parties may enforce the obligations of Indemnitor without first resorting to or exhausting any security or collateral or without first having recourse to the Security Instrument, or any other Loan Documents or any of the Collateral, through foreclosure proceedings or otherwise, provided, however, that nothing herein shall inhibit or prevent Indemnified Parties from suing on the Note, foreclosing, or exercising any power of sale under the Security Instrument, or exercising any other rights and remedies thereunder. This Agreement is not collateral or security for the debt of Indemnitor pursuant to the Loan, unless Indemnitees expressly elect in writing to make this Agreement additional collateral or security for the debt of Indemnitor pursuant to the Loan, which Indemnitees are entitled to do in its sole and absolute discretion. It is not necessary for a Credit Agreement Event of Default to have occurred pursuant to and as defined in the Security Instrument for Indemnified Parties to exercise their rights pursuant to this Agreement.

The obligations of Indemnitor under this Agreement shall survive (i) the repayment of all Obligations and other sums due under the Credit Agreement and other Loan Documents; (ii) the release of the Collateral or any portion thereof from the lien of the Security Instrument; (iii) the reconveyance or foreclosure of the Collateral under the Security Instrument (notwithstanding that all or a portion of the obligations secured by the Security Instrument shall have been discharged thereby); (iv) the acquisition of the Collateral by any Indemnitees or any nominee or agent thereof; and/or (v) the transfer of all or any of any Indemnitees’ rights in and to the Obligations and/or the Collateral; and shall continue to be the personal liability, obligation and indemnification of Indemnitor, binding upon Indemnitor, forever.

Section 11. No Impairment of Liability. The liability of Indemnitor under this Agreement shall in no way be limited or impaired by (i) any extensions of time for performance required by any of the Loan Documents, (ii) any sale, assignment, or foreclosure of the Obligations or Security Instrument or any sale or transfer of all or part of the Collateral, (iii) any exculpatory provision contained in any of the Loan Documents limiting recourse to the Collateral or to any other security, or limiting Indemnified Parties’ rights to a deficiency judgment against Indemnitor, (iv) the accuracy or inaccuracy of the representations and warranties made under any of the Loan Documents, (v) the release of Indemnitor or any other Person from performance or observance of any of the agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in any of the Loan Documents by operation of Applicable Law, Indemnitees’ voluntary act, or otherwise, (vi) the release or substitution in whole or in part of any security for the Obligations or Loan Documents, or (vii) Agent’s failure to record or file any Loan Document (or Agent’s improper recording or filing of any such Loan Documents) or to otherwise perfect, protect, secure or insure any Lien given as security for the Obligations; and, in any such case, whether with or without notice to Indemnitor and with or without consideration.

Section 12. Interest. Indemnitor shall pay Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties, on demand, interest, at the applicable Post-Default Rate on any costs or expenses incurred by Agent

Section 14. Inconsistent Provisions. The provisions of this Agreement shall govern and control over any inconsistent provision of any other Loan Document, including, without limitation, any exculpatory or non-recourse provisions contained in any of the Loan Documents, it being expressly understood and agreed that any exculpatory or non-recourse provisions contained in any Loan Document shall not apply to the obligations of Indemnitor under this Agreement.

Section 15. Counsel. If at any time or times hereafter Indemnified Parties employ counsel for advice or other representation (i) with respect to the enforcement of the terms and provisions of this Agreement against Indemnitor, (ii) to represent Indemnitees or any of them in any litigation, contest, dispute, suit or proceeding (whether instituted by Agent, Indemnitor, or any other party) in any way or respect relating to this Agreement or the matters subject to this Agreement, or (iii) to enforce Indemnitor’s obligations hereunder, then, in any of the foregoing events, all of the attorneys’ fees and other expenses, costs and charges in any way or respect arising in connection therewith or relating thereto shall be paid by Indemnitor to Agent.

Section 16. Indemnitor’s Waivers. (a) Indemnitor waives any right or claim of right to cause a marshaling of Indemnitor’s assets or to cause Indemnified Parties to proceed against any of the security for the Obligations before proceeding under this Agreement against the Indemnitor; Indemnitor agrees that any payments required to be made hereunder shall become due immediately upon demand, and if such payment is not immediately made, interest shall accrue on such amount at the Post-Default Rate until such amount, plus interest, is paid in full. Indemnitor expressly waives and relinquishes all rights and remedies accorded by Applicable Law to indemnitors or guarantors, except any rights of subrogation which Indemnitor may have, provided that the indemnity provided for hereunder shall neither be contingent upon the existence of any such rights of subrogation nor subject to any claims or defenses whatsoever which may be asserted in connection with the enforcement or attempted enforcement of such subrogation rights including, without limitation, any claim that such subrogation rights were abrogated by any acts of Indemnified Parties. Indemnitor hereby agrees to postpone the exercise of any and all rights of subrogation to the rights of Indemnified Parties against the Indemnitor hereunder and any rights of subrogation to any collateral securing the Obligations until the Obligations shall have been paid in full.

(b) INDEMNITOR HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, RELATING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THE LOANS EVIDENCED BY THE NOTE, THE

Indemnitor shall promptly deliver to Agent any and all documentation or records as Agent may request in connection with such notice or inquiry, and shall keep Agent advised of any subsequent developments.

Section 18. Indemnified Parties’ Participation. Upon written request by any Indemnified Parties, Indemnitor shall defend same (if requested by Indemnified Parties, in the name of the Indemnified Parties) by attorneys and other professionals approved by the Indemnified Parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Indemnified Parties may, in their sole and absolute discretion, engage their own attorneys and other professionals to defend or assist them, and, at the option of Indemnified Parties, their attorneys shall control the resolution of any claim or proceeding, providing that no compromise or settlement shall be entered without Indemnitor’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon demand, Indemnitor shall pay or, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Indemnified Parties, reimburse, the Indemnified Parties for the payment of reasonable fees and disbursements of attorneys, engineers, environmental consultants, laboratories and other professionals in connection therewith.

(b) its execution of, and compliance with, this Agreement is in the ordinary course of business of Indemnitor and will not result in the breach of any term or provision of the charter, by-laws, partnership or trust agreement, or other governing instrument of Indemnitor or result in the breach of any term or provision of, or conflict with or constitute a default under, or result in the acceleration of any obligation under, any agreement, indenture or loan or credit agreement or other instrument to which Indemnitor or the Collateral is subject, or result in the violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree to which Indemnitor or the Collateral is subject;

(c) to the best of Indemnitor’s knowledge, there is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or threatened against it which, either in any one instance or in the aggregate, may result in any material adverse change in the business, operations, financial condition, properties or assets of Indemnitor, or in any material impairment of the right or ability of Indemnitor to carry on its business substantially as now conducted, or in any material liability on the part of Indemnitor, or which would draw into question the validity of this Agreement or of any action taken or to be taken in connection with the obligations of Indemnitor contemplated herein, or which would be likely to impair materially the ability of Indemnitor to perform under the terms of this Agreement;

(d) it does not believe, nor does it have any reason or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and every covenant contained in this Agreement;

Section 24. Severability. This Agreement is intended to be performed in accordance with, and only to the extent permitted by, all Applicable Law. If any provision of any of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Person or circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, then neither the remainder of the instrument in which

B - 11

such provision is contained nor the application of such provision to other persons or circumstances nor the other instruments referred to hereinabove shall be affected thereby, but rather, shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by Applicable Law.

Section 25. Enforceability. Indemnitor hereby acknowledges that: (a) the obligations undertaken by Indemnitor in this Agreement are complex in nature, and (b) numerous possible defenses to the enforceability of these obligations may presently exist and/or may arise hereafter, and (c) as part of Agent and the other Secured Parties’ consideration for entering into this transaction, Agent and the other Secured Parties have specifically bargained for the waiver and relinquishment by Indemnitor of all such defenses, and (d) Indemnitor has had the opportunity to seek and receive legal advice from skilled legal counsel in the area of financial transactions of the type contemplated herein. Given all of the above, Indemnitor does hereby represent and confirm to Agent and the other Secured Parties that Indemnitor is fully informed regarding, and that Indemnitor does thoroughly understand: (i) the nature of all such possible defenses, and (ii) the circumstances under which such defenses may arise, and (iii) the benefits which such defenses might confer upon Indemnitor, and (iv) the legal consequences to Indemnitor of waiving such defenses. Indemnitor acknowledges that Indemnitor makes this Agreement with the intent that this Agreement and all of the informed waivers herein shall each and all be fully enforceable by Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties, and that Agent and the other Secured Parties are induced to enter into this transaction in material reliance upon the presumed full enforceability thereof.

Section 26. Notice to Parties. Unless otherwise provided herein, communications provided for hereunder shall be in writing and shall be given in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement or the Guaranty, as applicable.

Section 27. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

Section 28. Headings. The Section and Subsection entitlements hereof are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall in no way alter, modify or define, or be used in construing, the text of such Sections or Subsections.

Section 29. Modification. This Agreement may only be amended, revised, waived or otherwise modified by a written instrument or instruments as provided in Section 13.6. of the Credit Agreement.

Section 30. Successors and Assigns. The covenants, agreements and obligations of Indemnitor hereunder shall be binding upon Indemnitor and its respective legal representatives, successors and assigns, and the rights, remedies and benefits of Indemnified Parties hereunder shall inure to the benefit of Indemnified Parties and their respective legal representatives, successors and assigns. There are no parties who or which are intended to be a third party beneficiary of any benefit conferred under this Agreement, except for the legal representatives, successors and assigns of Indemnified Parties.

B - 12

Section 31. Loan Document. This Agreement shall constitute a Loan Document for purposes of the Security Instrument and the other Loan Documents, but this Agreement is not secured by the Security Instrument.

Section 32. Joint and Several Liability. If Indemnitor consists of more than one person or party, the obligations and liabilities of each such person or party hereunder shall be joint and several.

Section 33. No Waiver. No delay by any Indemnified Party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of any such privilege, power or right.

Section 34. Time is of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to each and every covenant, agreement and obligation of Indemnitor under this Agreement.

Section 35. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute but one instrument.

Section 36. California State Specific Provisions. (a) Inconsistencies. In the event of any inconsistencies between the terms and conditions of this Section 36 and the other Articles of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of this Section 36 shall control and be binding.

(b) Waivers. In connection with the enforcement of Indemnitor’s obligations under this Agreement, Indemnitor hereby waives:

(i) an election of remedies by any Indemnified Party, even though that election of remedies, such as a non judicial foreclosure with respect to any security for the Loan (whether such security is real property or personal property), for a guaranteed obligation, has destroyed the guarantor’s rights of subrogation and reimbursement against the principal by the operation of Section 580d of the California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise,

(ii) any defense based upon any statute or rule of law which provides that the obligation of a surety must be neither larger in amount nor in other respects more burdensome than that of the principal, or

(iii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Indemnitor hereby expressly waives any and all benefits which might otherwise be available to Indemnitor under California Civil Code Sections 2809, 2810, 2819, 2839, 2845 through 2847, 2849, 2850, 2899 and 3433, and California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 580a, 580b, 580d and 726 in connection with the enforcement of Indemnitor’s obligations under this Agreement.

(c) Loan Amount No Limitation. The amount of Indemnitor’s liability under this Agreement is unrelated to, and independent of, the amount of any loss that Indemnitees may

B - 13

suffer by reason of the failure of the Loan to be repaid in full, and shall not be determined by reference to the amount of any Loan loss. No amount paid to any Indemnified Party pursuant to this Agreement shall be considered to be paid on account of the Loan or any deficiency or loss suffered by Indemnitees by reason of the failure of the Loan to be repaid in full. The enforcement of this Agreement by any Indemnified Party shall not be construed as an indirect attempt to recover any such Loan loss. Indemnitor acknowledges that Indemnitor may have liability under this Agreement even if the Loan is repaid in full by reason of a full credit bid at any foreclosure sale under the Security Instrument, and that the amount of Indemnitor’s liability hereunder could exceed the entire amount paid by Indemnitor for the Property.

(c) Legal Effect of Agreement. Indemnitor and Indemnitees agree that: (i) this Agreement is intended as Indemnitees’ written request for information (and Indemnitor’s response) concerning the environmental condition of the real Property security as required by California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5; and (ii) each provision in this Agreement (together with any indemnity applicable to a breach of any such provision) with respect to the environmental condition of the real Property security is intended by Indemnitees and Indemnitor to be an “environmental provision” for purposes of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736, and as such it is expressly understood that Indemnitor’s duty to indemnify Indemnitees hereunder shall survive: (i) any judicial or non judicial foreclosure under the Security Instrument, or transfer of the Property in lieu thereof; (ii) the release and reconveyance or cancellation of the Security Instrument; and (iii) the satisfaction of all of Indemnitor’s obligations under the Notes, the Security Instrument, the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

(d) Inspection Rights. Indemnitees shall have the right to enter and inspect the Property for any Hazardous Materials pursuant to California Civil Code Section 2929.5, to obtain a court order to enforce that right, and to have a receiver appointed pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 564 to enforce Indemnitees’ right to enter and inspect the Property.

(e) Remedies. Upon any breach of this Agreement (after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure periods), Indemnitees shall have the right to commence and maintain an action or actions in any court of competent jurisdiction for breach of contract pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 736, whether commenced prior to foreclosure of the Property or after foreclosure of the Property, and to seek the recovery of any and all costs, damages, expenses, fees, penalties, fines, judgments, indemnification payments to third parties, and other out-of-pocket costs or expenses actually incurred or advanced by Indemnitees (collectively, the “Environmental Costs”) relating to the cleanup, remediation or other response action required by any Environmental Requirements or which Indemnitees believe necessary to protect the Property.

Indemnitor acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding any term or provision contained herein or in the Notes, the Security Instrument, the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, the Environmental Costs shall be exceptions to any non-recourse or exculpatory provision and Indemnitor shall be fully and personally liable for the Environmental Costs hereunder and such liability shall not be limited to the original principal amount of the obligations secured by the Security Instrument; provided, however, the aforementioned personal

B - 14

liability of Indemnitor shall not be deemed to include the owners of equity interests in Indemnitor or any employees or agents of Indemnitor.

(f) Remedies Upon Environmental Impairment. If a Credit Agreement Event of Default (as defined in the Security Instrument) exists, in addition to any other remedies provided therein and applicable law, the Indemmitee shall have the right to waive its lien against the Property or any portion thereof, whether fixtures or personal property, to the extent such Property is found to be environmentally impaired in accordance with California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5 and to exercise any and all rights and remedies of an unsecured creditor against Indemnitor and all of Indemnitor’s assets and property for the recovery of any deficiency, including, but not limited to, seeking an attachment order pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 483.010. As between Indemnitees and Indemnitor, for purposes of California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5, Indemnitor shall have the burden of proving that Indemnitor or any related party (or any affiliate or agent of Indemnitor or any related party) was not in any way negligent in permitting the release or threatened release of the Hazardous Materials. Indemnitor acknowledges and agrees that notwithstanding any term or provision contained herein or in the Notes, the Security Instrument, the Credit Agreement or the other Loan Documents, all judgments and awards entered against Indemnitor under this Section and California Code of Civil Procedure Section 726.5 shall be exceptions to any non-recourse or exculpatory provisions of the Notes, Credit Agreement, and the other Loan Documents and Indemnitor shall be fully and personally liable for all such judgments and awards entered against Indemnitor.

(g) California Code Sections. This Agreement is intended to be cumulative of any rights of Indemnitees under California Code of Civil Procedure Sections 564, 726.5 and 736 and under California Civil Code Section 2929.5. Indemnitor hereby agrees that, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, its liability hereunder shall not be affected by any restrictions or limitations which such statutes may contain.

(h) Survival. The indemnity in this Agreement is intended to be operable under 42 U.S.C. 9607(e)(1), and any successor section thereof, and shall survive the foreclosure, release or reconveyance of the Security Instrument, whether by payment of the Loan or any deed-in-lieu of foreclosure of the Property and shall thereafter only terminate as expressly and specifically provided herein.

Section 37. New Jersey State Specific Provisions. (a) In the event that any inconsistencies between the terms and conditions of this Section 37 and the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the terms and conditions of Section 37 shall control and be binding.

(b) New Jersey Spill Act and ISRA. (i) Indemnitor represents and warrants, based upon the environmental report of the Property delivered in connection with the Loan and information that Indemnitor knows, that: (A) no portion of the Property has ever been used by Indemnitor or any former owner, occupant or operator to generate, manufacture, refine, produce, treat, store, handle, dispose of, transfer, process or transport Hazardous Materials, whether or not any of those parties has received notice or advice from any governmental agency or other source with respect thereto; (B) no portion of the Property is now nor at any time that Indemnitor has

B - 15

owned the Property, nor at any time prior to Indemnitor acquiring title to the Property has ever been, used as a “Major Facility,” as that term is defined in the Spill Compensation and Control Act, N.J.S.A. 58:10-23.11 et seq. (said Spill Compensation and Control Act together with any amendments or revisions thereof and any regulations promulgated pursuant thereto being hereinafter collectively called the “Spill Act”), and that Indemnitor has not used, and does not intend to use, any portion of the Property for that purpose; (C) at any time that Indemnitor has owned the Property and at any time prior to Indemnitor acquiring title to the Property, Hazardous Materials have not been transported from the Property to another location which is not in compliance with all Environmental Requirements; (D) there are no environmental permits required for current or anticipated uses of the Property; (E) no lien has been attached to the Property under the Spill Act or any other Environmental Requirements; and (F) Indemnitor has not in the past, and does not now own, operate or control any “Major Facility” (as such term is defined in the Spill Act) or any hazardous or solid waste disposal facility.

(ii) If a lien is filed against the Property pursuant to the Spill Act or any other Environmental Requirement, Indemnitor shall immediately either: (A) pay the claim and remove the lien from the Property, or (B) furnish (x) a bond reasonably satisfactory to Agent and the title insurance company which insures the priority of the lien of the Security Instrument in the amount of the claim out of which the lien arises, (y) a cash deposit in the amount of the claim out of which the lien arises, or (z) other security reasonably satisfactory to Agent in an amount sufficient to discharge the claim out of which the lien arises. In addition to the foregoing, Indemnitor hereby agrees to defend, indemnify and to save the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against all loss, damage, liability and expense (including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses) which the Indemnified Parties may sustain by reason of any lien filed against the Property pursuant to the Spill Act or any other federal, state or local laws, ordinances, rules or regulations.

(iii) All references herein to executives, departments, funds, statutes, and acts of the State of New Jersey are not intended to be exclusive and shall be deemed to apply to any successors, replacements, amendments, thereof and any additional statutes, rules, regulations, organizations and persons of a similar nature, whether of the State of New Jersey or the United States of America.

(iv) Indemnitor (A) hereby represents and warrants that, to the best of Indemnitor’s knowledge, after due inquiry, no portion of the Property constitutes an “industrial establishment” (as such term is defined in the New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act, Senate No. 1070, N.J. Laws 1993, c. 139 (effective June 16, 1993), N.J.S.A. 13:1K-6 et. seq. and N.J.A.C. 7:26B et. seq., and the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto (said New Jersey Industrial Site Recovery Act together with any amendments, supplements, modifications or revisions thereof and any regulations promulgated pursuant thereto and any successor statutes, laws or regulations and any guidelines and directives of the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (“DEP”) issued pursuant to or implementing ISRA hereinafter collectively called “ISRA”)) and is not otherwise subject to ISRA and (B) hereby covenants and agrees that Indemnitor shall not, and shall not permit any Tenant to, engage in operations at the

B - 16

Property such that any portion of the Property would be deemed an “industrial establishment” under ISRA or would otherwise be subject to ISRA.

(v) Without limitation of the foregoing, in the event that any portion of the Property is determined to be an “industrial establishment” or otherwise subject to ISRA, then, upon Agent and Secured Parties’ request, and in all events no later than ten (10) days prior to “closing, terminating or transferring operations” (as defined in ISRA) by Indemnitor and/or any one or more Tenants, Indemnitor, at its sole cost and expense, shall demonstrate compliance with ISRA by providing Agent and Secured Parties with certified true copies of any and all of the following, as may be applicable pursuant to ISRA, including but not limited to:

(A) a General Information Notice (“GIN”), preliminary assessment report (“PAR”), and/or site investigation report (“SIR”) (as such terms are defined in ISRA) and all other environmental reports, including, but not limited to, a Remedial Action Work Plan submitted by or on behalf of Indemnitor to or prepared by a Licensed Site Remediation Professional until it receives a Response Action Outcome (as such terms are defined in ISRA);

(B) a Negative Declaration Affidavit (as such term is defined in ISRA) submitted by or on behalf of Indemnitor to the DEP and copies of any Final Decision Documents (as such term is defined in the Spill Act) DEP related thereto;

(C) a De Minimis Quantity Exemption Affidavit (as such term is defined in ISRA) submitted by or on behalf of Indemnitor to the DEP and proof of approval of such Exemption by DEP;

(D) a Remediation in Progress Waiver Application (as such term is defined in ISRA) submitted by or on behalf of Indemnitor to the DEP and proof of approval of such Waiver by DEP;

(E) a Remediation Certification Application submitted to the DEP by or on behalf of Indemnitor and the approved Remediation Certification (as such term are defined in ISRA);

(G) a Response Action Outcome (as such term is defined in ISRA) submitted on behalf of Indemnitor to the DEP and the related Remedial Action Permit issued by DEP;

Nothing in this sub-clause (v) shall be construed as limiting Indemnitor’s obligation to otherwise comply with ISRA.

(vi) In the event that Indemnitor or any of its Tenants are required to perform Remediation, regardless of whether such Remediation is required under ISRA or other Environmental Requirement, then Indemnitor shall obtain and promptly and diligently implement and perform such activities necessary to complete the Remediation as required by the Environmental Requirements. Indemnitor shall establish and maintain, or cause Tenant to establish and maintain, all appropriate financial assurances required under the Environmental Requirements, including, but not limited to, any Remediation Funding Source. The Remediation shall be implemented in accordance with the requirements of the approved Remedial Action Workplan or Remediation Certification, as the case may be, or as may be otherwise ordered or directed by DEP or a Licensed Site Remediation Professional, as the case may be, until a Final Remediation Document (as such term is defined in the Spill Act) has been issued or delivered. Indemnitor expressly understands and acknowledges that Indemnitor’s compliance with the provisions of sub-clause (v) and this sub-clause (vi) may require Indemnitor to expend funds or do acts after the expiration or termination of the term of one or more Leases. Indemnitor shall expend such funds and do such acts and shall not be excused therefrom even though the term of the applicable Lease shall have previously expired or been terminated and notwithstanding any provisions in any such Lease or in ISRA placing the burden of compliance on a tenant, and provide an affidavit dated not more than ten (10) days nor less than five (5) days prior to the closing, terminating or transferring of operations that it is in full compliance with and has not received any notice that it has violated the terms of the Remedial Action Workplan or the Remediation Certification, as the case may be, including without limitation, the terms regarding the establishment and maintenance of a Remediation Funding Source, such affidavit is to be provided to Agent, for the benefit of Secured Parties within two (2) days after its execution.

(vii) The obligations and liabilities of Indemnitor under this Section 33 shall fully survive indefinitely notwithstanding any termination, satisfaction, assignment, entry of a judgment of foreclosure, exercise of any power of sale, or delivery of a deed in lieu of foreclosure of the Security Instrument.

(c) Definition of Hazardous Materials. The following is hereby added to the Section 1 entitled “Definitions”, the paragraph defining the term “Hazardous Materials”, immediately after the words “under any present or future Environmental Requirement or amendment thereto” in subparagraph (ii):

WHEREAS, the Parent previously executed and delivered to the Agent that certain Guaranty dated as of November 21, 2006 (as amended and in effect immediately prior to the date hereof, the “Existing Guaranty”);

C-1

Obligations”): (a) all indebtedness, liabilities, obligations, covenants and duties owing by the Borrower to any Lender or the Agent under or in connection with the Credit Agreement and any other Loan Document, including without limitation, the repayment of all principal of the Loans, the Reimbursement Obligations and all other Letter of Credit Liabilities, and the payment of all interest, Fees, charges, reasonable attorneys’ fees and other amounts payable to any Lender or the Agent thereunder or in connection therewith (including, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, interest, Fees and other amounts that would accrue and become due after the filing of a case or other proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code (as defined below) or other similar Applicable Law but for the commencement of such case or proceeding, whether or not such amounts are allowed or allowable in whole or in part in such case or proceeding); (b) any and all extensions, renewals, modifications, amendments or substitutions of the foregoing; (c) all other Obligations; (d) all expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, that are incurred by any of the Lenders or the Agent in the enforcement of any of the foregoing or any obligation of such Guarantor hereunder; and (e) all Specified Derivatives Obligations of such Guarantor.

Section 2. Guaranty of Payment and Not of Collection. This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment, and not of collection, and a debt of each Guarantor for its own account. Accordingly, none of the Agent or the other Secured Parties shall be obligated or required before enforcing this Guaranty against any Guarantor: (a) to pursue any right or remedy any of them may have against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or commence any suit or other proceeding against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person in any court or other tribunal; (b) to make any claim in a liquidation or bankruptcy of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person; or (c) to make demand of the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person or to enforce or seek to enforce or realize upon any collateral security held by the Agent or any other Secured Party which may secure any of the Guarantied Obligations.

Section 3. Guaranty Absolute.

The liability of each Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional in accordance with its terms and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including without limitation, the following (whether or not such Guarantor consents thereto or has notice thereof):

(a) (i) any change in the amount, interest rate or due date or other term of any of the Guarantied Obligations, (ii) any change in the time, place or manner of payment of all or any portion of the Guarantied Obligations, (iii) any amendment or waiver of, or consent to the departure from or other indulgence with respect to, the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document, or any other document or instrument evidencing or relating to any Guarantied Obligations, or (iv) any waiver, renewal, extension, addition, or supplement to, or deletion from, or any other action or inaction under or in respect of, the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Guarantied

C-2

(b) any lack of validity or enforceability of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other document, instrument or agreement referred to therein or evidencing any Guarantied Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any of the foregoing;

(c) any furnishing to the Agent or the other Secured Parties of any security for the Guarantied Obligations, or any sale, exchange, release or surrender of, or realization on, any collateral securing any of the Obligations;

(d) any settlement or compromise of any of the Guarantied Obligations, any security therefor, or any liability of any other party with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, or any subordination of the payment of the Guarantied Obligations to the payment of any other liability of the Borrower or any other Loan Party;

(e) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to such Guarantor, the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding;

(f) any act or failure to act by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person which may adversely affect such Guarantor’s subrogation rights, if any, against the Borrower to recover payments made under this Guaranty;

(g) any nonperfection or impairment of any security interest or other Lien on any Collateral securing in any way any of the Guarantied Obligations;

(h) any application of sums paid by the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person with respect to the liabilities of the Borrower to the Agent or the other Secured Parties, regardless of what liabilities of the Borrower remain unpaid;

(i) any defect, limitation or insufficiency in the borrowing powers of the Borrower or in the exercise thereof;

(j) any defense, set-off, claim or counterclaim (other than indefeasible payment and performance in full) which may at any time be available to or be asserted by the Borrower, any other Loan Party or any other Person against the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties;

(k) any change in the corporate existence, structure or ownership of the Borrower or any other Loan Party;

(l) any statement, representation or warranty made or deemed made by or on behalf of the Borrower, any Guarantor or any other Loan Party under any Loan Document, or any amendment hereto or thereto, proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any respect; or

C-3

(m) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, a Guarantor hereunder (other than indefeasible payment and performance in full).

Section 4. Action with Respect to Guarantied Obligations. The Agent and the other Secured Parties may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor, and without discharging any Guarantor from its obligations hereunder, take any and all actions described in Section 3 and may otherwise: (a) amend, modify, alter or supplement the terms of any of the Guarantied Obligations, including, but not limited to, extending or shortening the time of payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations or changing the interest rate that may accrue on any of the Guarantied Obligations; (b) amend, modify, alter or supplement the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; (c) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with all, or any part, of any collateral securing any of the Obligations; (d) release any other Loan Party or other Person liable in any manner for the payment or collection of the Guarantied Obligations; (e) exercise, or refrain from exercising, any rights against the Borrower, any other Guarantor or any other Person; and (f) apply any sum, by whomsoever paid or however realized, to the Guarantied Obligations in such order as the Secured Parties shall elect.

Section 5. Representations and Warranties. Each Guarantor hereby makes to the Agent and the other Secured Parties all of the representations and warranties made by the Borrower with respect to or in any way relating to such Guarantor in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents, as if the same were set forth herein in full.

Section 6. Covenants. Each Guarantor will comply with all covenants which the Borrower is to cause such Guarantor to comply with under the terms of the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

Section 7. Waiver. Each Guarantor, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, hereby waives notice of acceptance hereof or any presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, and any other act or thing, or omission or delay to do any other act or thing, which in any manner or to any extent might vary the risk of such Guarantor or which otherwise might operate to discharge such Guarantor from its obligations hereunder.

Section 8. Inability to Accelerate Loan. If the Agent and/or the other Secured Parties are prevented under Applicable Law or otherwise from demanding or accelerating payment of any of the Guarantied Obligations by reason of any automatic stay or otherwise, the Agent and/or the other Secured Parties shall be entitled to receive from each Guarantor, upon demand therefor, the sums which otherwise would have been due had such demand or acceleration occurred.

Section 9. Reinstatement of Guarantied Obligations. If claim is ever made on the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts received in payment or on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, and the Agent or such other Secured Party repays all or part of said amount by reason of (a) any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, or (b) any settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by the Agent or such other Secured Party with any such claimant (including the Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy for the Borrower), then and in such event each

C-4

Guarantor agrees that any such judgment, decree, order, settlement or compromise shall be binding on it, notwithstanding any revocation hereof or the cancellation of the Credit Agreement, any of the other Loan Documents, or any other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrower, and such Guarantor shall be and remain liable to the Agent or such other Secured Party for the amounts so repaid or recovered to the same extent as if such amount had never originally been paid to the Agent or such other Secured Party.

Section 10. Subrogation. Upon the making by any Guarantor of any payment hereunder for the account of the Borrower, such Guarantor shall be subrogated to the rights of the payee against the Borrower; provided, however, that such Guarantor shall not enforce any right or receive any payment by way of subrogation or otherwise take any action in respect of any other claim or cause of action such Guarantor may have against the Borrower arising by reason of any payment or performance by such Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty, unless and until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid and performed in full. If any amount shall be paid to such Guarantor on account of or in respect of such subrogation rights or other claims or causes of action, such Guarantor shall hold such amount in trust for the benefit of the Agent and the other Secured Parties and shall forthwith pay such amount to the Agent to be credited and applied against the Guarantied Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or to be held by the Agent as collateral security for any Guarantied Obligations existing.

Section 11. Payments Free and Clear. All sums payable by each Guarantor hereunder, whether of principal, interest, Fees, expenses, premiums or otherwise, shall be paid in full, without set-off or counterclaim or any deduction or withholding whatsoever (including any Taxes), and if any Guarantor is required by Applicable Law or by a Governmental Authority to make any such deduction or withholding, such Guarantor shall pay to the Agent and the other Secured Parties such additional amount as will result in the receipt by the Agent and the other Secured Parties of the full amount payable hereunder had such deduction or withholding not occurred or been required.

Section 12. Set-off. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under any of the other Loan Documents or Applicable Law and not by way of limitation of any such rights, each Guarantor hereby authorizes the Agent, each Lender and any of their respective Affiliates, at any time while an Event of Default exists, without any prior notice to such Guarantor or to any other Person, any such notice being hereby expressly waived, but in the case of a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender subject to receipt of the prior written consent of the Agent exercised in its sole discretion, to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured) and any other indebtedness at any time held or owing by the Agent, such Lender, or any Affiliate of the Agent or such Lender, to or for the credit or the account of such Guarantor against and on account of any of the Guarantied Obligations, although such obligations shall be contingent or unmatured.

Section 13. Subordination. Each Guarantor hereby expressly covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Agent and the other Secured Parties that all obligations and liabilities of the Borrower to such Guarantor of whatever description, including without limitation, all

C-5

intercompany receivables of such Guarantor from the Borrower (collectively, the “Junior Claims”) shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment to all Guarantied Obligations. If an Event of Default shall exist, then no Guarantor shall accept any direct or indirect payment (in cash, property or securities, by setoff or otherwise) from the Borrower on account of or in any manner in respect of any Junior Claim until all of the Guarantied Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full.

Section 14. Avoidance Provisions. It is the intent of each Guarantor, the Agent and the other Secured Parties that in any Proceeding, such Guarantor’s maximum obligation hereunder shall equal, but not exceed, the maximum amount which would not otherwise cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the other Secured Parties) to be avoidable or unenforceable against such Guarantor in such Proceeding as a result of Applicable Law, including without limitation, (a) Section 548 of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) 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 Applicable Laws under which the possible avoidance or unenforceability of the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the other Secured Parties) shall be determined in any such Proceeding are referred to as the “Avoidance Provisions”. Accordingly, to the extent that the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder would otherwise be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, the maximum Guarantied Obligations for which such Guarantor shall be liable hereunder shall be reduced to that amount which, as of the time any of the Guarantied Obligations are deemed to have been incurred under the Avoidance Provisions, would not cause the obligations of such Guarantor hereunder (or any other obligations of such Guarantor to the Agent and the other Secured Parties), to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions. This Section is intended solely to preserve the rights of the Agent and the other Secured Parties hereunder to the maximum extent that would not cause the obligations of any Guarantor hereunder to be subject to avoidance under the Avoidance Provisions, and no Guarantor or any other Person shall have any right or claim under this Section as against the Agent and the other Secured Parties that would not otherwise be available to such Person under the Avoidance Provisions.

Section 15. Information. Each Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself informed of the financial condition of the Borrower and the other Guarantors, and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of any of the Guarantied Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks that such Guarantor assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties shall have any duty whatsoever to advise any Guarantor of information regarding such circumstances or risks.

Section 16. Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

C-6

SECTION 17. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

(a) EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS WOULD BE BASED ON DIFFICULT AND COMPLEX ISSUES OF LAW AND FACT AND WOULD RESULT IN DELAY AND EXPENSE TO THE PARTIES. ACCORDINGLY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE LENDERS, THE AGENT AND EACH GUARANTOR HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND OR NATURE IN ANY COURT OR TRIBUNAL IN WHICH AN ACTION MAY BE COMMENCED BY OR AGAINST ANY PARTY HERETO ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR BY REASON OF ANY OTHER SUIT, CAUSE OF ACTION OR DISPUTE WHATSOEVER BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS OF ANY KIND OR NATURE RELATING TO ANY OF THE LOAN DOCUMENTS.

(b) EACH OF THE GUARANTORS, THE AGENT AND EACH LENDER HEREBY AGREES THAT ANY FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT AND ANY STATE COURT LOCATED IN CHARLOTTE, NORTH CAROLINA SHALL HAVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN OR AMONG ANY GUARANTOR, THE AGENT OR ANY OF THE LENDERS, PERTAINING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TO THIS GUARANTY OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING HEREFROM OR THEREFROM. EACH GUARANTOR AND EACH OF THE LENDERS EXPRESSLY SUBMIT AND CONSENT IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING COMMENCED IN SUCH COURTS WITH RESPECT TO SUCH CLAIMS OR DISPUTES. EACH PARTY FURTHER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT OR THAT SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING WAS BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM AND EACH AGREES NOT TO PLEAD OR CLAIM THE SAME. THE CHOICE OF FORUM SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO PRECLUDE THE BRINGING OF ANY ACTION BY ANY PARTY OR THE ENFORCEMENT BY ANY PARTY OF ANY JUDGMENT OBTAINED IN SUCH FORUM IN ANY OTHER APPROPRIATE JURISDICTION.

Section 18. Loan Accounts. The Agent and each Lender may maintain books and accounts setting forth the amounts of principal, interest and other sums paid and payable with respect to the Guarantied Obligations, and in the case of any dispute relating to any of the outstanding amount, payment or receipt of any of the Guarantied Obligations or otherwise, the entries in such books and accounts shall be deemed conclusive evidence of the amounts and

C-7

other matters set forth herein, absent manifest error. The failure of the Agent or any Lender to maintain such books and accounts shall not in any way relieve or discharge any Guarantor of any of its obligations hereunder.

Section 19. Waiver of Remedies. No delay or failure on the part of the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties in the exercise of any right or remedy it may have against any Guarantor hereunder or otherwise shall operate as a waiver thereof, and no single or partial exercise by the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties of any such right or remedy shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right or remedy.

Section 20. Termination. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect until indefeasible payment in full of the Guarantied Obligations and the other Obligations and the termination or cancellation of the Credit Agreement in accordance with its terms.

Section 21. Successors and Assigns. Each reference herein to the Agent or the other Secured Parties shall be deemed to include such Person’s respective successors and assigns (including, but not limited to, any holder of the Guarantied Obligations) in whose favor the provisions of this Guaranty also shall inure, and each reference herein to each Guarantor shall be deemed to include such Guarantor’s successors and assigns, upon whom this Guaranty also shall be binding. The Lenders may, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement, assign, transfer or sell any Guarantied Obligation, or grant or sell participations in any Guarantied Obligations, to any Person without the consent of, or notice to, any Guarantor and without releasing, discharging or modifying any Guarantor’s obligations hereunder. Subject to Section 13.8. of the Credit Agreement, each Guarantor hereby consents to the delivery by the Agent or any Lender to any Assignee or Participant (or any prospective Assignee or Participant) of any financial or other information regarding the Borrower or any Guarantor. No Guarantor may assign or transfer its rights or obligations hereunder to any Person without the prior written consent of all Secured Parties and any such assignment or other transfer to which all of the Secured Parties have not so consented shall be null and void.

Section 22. JOINT AND SEVERAL OBLIGATIONS. THE OBLIGATIONS OF THE GUARANTORS HEREUNDER SHALL BE JOINT AND SEVERAL, AND ACCORDINGLY, EACH GUARANTOR CONFIRMS THAT IT IS LIABLE FOR THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE “GUARANTIED OBLIGATIONS” AND ALL OF THE OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF EACH OF THE OTHER GUARANTORS HEREUNDER.

Section 23. Amendments. This Guaranty may not be amended except in a writing signed by the Requisite Lenders (or all of the Lenders if required under the terms of the Credit Agreement), the Agent and each Guarantor.

Section 24. Payments. All payments to be made by any Guarantor pursuant to this Guaranty shall be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds to the Agent at the Principal Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the date of demand therefor.

Section 25. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given (a) to each

C-8

Guarantor at its address set forth below its signature hereto, (b) to the Agent or any Lender at its respective address for notices provided for in the Credit Agreement, or (c) as to each such party at such other address as such party shall designate in a written notice to the other parties. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if mailed, when received; (ii) if telecopied, when transmitted; or (iii) if hand delivered, when delivered; provided, however, that any notice of a change of address for notices shall not be effective until received.

Section 26. Severability. In case any provision of this Guaranty shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Section 27. Headings. Section headings used in this Guaranty are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction of this Guaranty.

Section 28. Limitation of Liability. Neither the Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties, nor any Affiliate, officer, director, employee, attorney, or agent of the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties, shall have any liability with respect to, and each Guarantor hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue any of them upon, any claim for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages suffered or incurred by a Guarantor in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Guaranty or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Each Guarantor hereby waives, releases, and agrees not to sue the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties or any of the Agent’s or of any other Secured Parties’, officers, directors, employees, attorneys, or agents for punitive damages in respect of any claim in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, this Guaranty, the Credit Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or any of the transactions contemplated by Credit Agreement or financed thereby.

THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT dated as of December 7, 2009, executed and delivered by each of the undersigned parties identified as “Pledgors” on the signature pages hereto and the other Persons who may become Pledgors hereunder pursuant to the execution and delivery of a Pledge Agreement Supplement substantially in the form of Annex 1 hereto (each a “Pledgor” and collectively, the “Pledgors”) in favor of (a) WACHOVIA BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, in its capacity as Agent (the “Agent”) for the Lenders under that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 7, 2009 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among U-Store-It, L.P. (the “Borrower”), U-Store-It Trust, the financial institutions party thereto and their assignees under Section 13.5. thereof (the “Lenders”), the Agent, and the other parties thereto, and (b) the other Secured Parties.

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Lenders and the Agent have agreed to make available to the Borrower certain financial accommodations on the terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Borrower and each of the other Pledgors, though separate legal entities, are mutually dependent on each other in the conduct of their respective businesses as an integrated operation and have determined it to be in their mutual best interests to obtain financing from the Lenders and the Agent through their collective efforts;

WHEREAS, each Pledgor acknowledges that it will receive direct and indirect benefits from the Lenders and the Agent making such financial accommodations available to the Borrower under the Credit Agreement; and

WHEREAS, it is a condition precedent to the extension of such financial accommodations under the Credit Agreement that the Pledgors execute and deliver this Agreement, among other things, to grant to the Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties a security interest in the Collateral as security for the Secured Obligations.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

Section 1. Pledge. As security for the prompt performance and payment in full of the Secured Obligations, each Pledgor hereby pledges, hypothecates, assigns, transfers, sets over and delivers unto the Agent, for its own benefit and for the benefit of the other Secured Parties, and grants to the Agent, for its own benefit and for the benefit of the other Secured Parties, a security interest in, all of such Pledgor’s right, title and interest in, to and under the following (collectively, the “Pledged Collateral”):

H-1

(a) the Pledged Interests;

(b) all distributions, cash, securities, interest, dividends, rights and other property at any time and from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all thereof to which such Pledgor shall at any time be entitled in respect of the Pledged Interests;

(d) all of such Pledgor’s claims, rights, powers, privileges, authority, puts, calls, options, security interests, liens and remedies, if any, in respect of any of the foregoing;

(e) all of such Pledgor’s rights to exercise and enforce any and every right, power, remedy, authority, option and privilege of such Pledgor relating to any of the foregoing including, without limitation, any power to (i) terminate, cancel or modify any agreement, (ii) execute any instruments and to take any and all other action on behalf of and in the name of such Pledgor in respect of any of the foregoing and the applicable Issuer thereof, (iii) exercise voting rights or make determinations, (iv) exercise any election (including, but not limited to, election of remedies), (v) exercise any “put”, right of first offer or first refusal, or other option, (vi) exercise any right of redemption or repurchase, (vii) give or receive any notice, consent, amendment, waiver or approval, (viii) demand, receive, enforce, collect or receipt for any of the foregoing, (ix) enforce or execute any checks, or other instruments or orders, (x) file any claims and to take any action in connection with any of the foregoing, or (xi) otherwise act as if such Pledgor were the absolute owner of such Pledged Interests and all rights associated therewith;

(g) all other property hereafter delivered in substitution for or in addition to any of the foregoing;

(h) all other rights, titles, interests, powers, privileges and preferences pertaining to any of the foregoing; and

(i) all Proceeds of any of the foregoing.

Section 2. Representations and Warranties. Each Pledgor hereby represents and warrants to the Agent and the other Secured Parties as follows:

(a) Title and Liens. Such Pledgor is, and will at all times continue to be, the legal and beneficial owner of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor. None of the Pledged Collateral is subject to any adverse claim or other Lien other than Permitted Liens of the types referred to in clauses (a), (b), (c) and (e) of the definition of “Permitted Lien”. No Person has control of any of the Pledged Collateral other than the Agent.

H-2

(b) Authorization. Such Pledgor has the right and power, and has taken all necessary action to authorize it, to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement in accordance with its terms. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement in accordance with its terms, including the granting of the security interest hereunder, do not and will not, by the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both: (i) require any governmental approval or violate any applicable law relating to such Pledgor; (ii) conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under the organizational documents of such Pledgor, or any indenture, agreement or other instrument to which such Pledgor is a party or by which it or any of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor or its other property may be bound; or (iii) result in or require the creation or imposition of any Lien upon or with respect to any of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor or such Pledgor’s other property whether now owned or hereafter acquired.

(c) Validity and Perfection of Security Interest. This Agreement is effective to create in favor of the Agent, for the benefit of the other Secured Parties, a legal, valid and enforceable security interest in the Pledged Collateral. Such security interest will be perfected (i) with respect to any such Pledged Collateral that is a “security” (as such term is defined in the UCC) and is evidenced by a certificate, when such Pledged Collateral is delivered to the Agent with duly executed stock powers with respect thereto, (ii) with respect to any such Pledged Collateral that is a “security” (as such term is defined in the UCC) but is not evidenced by a certificate, when UCC financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the appropriate filing offices in the jurisdiction of organization of the Pledgors or when control is established by the Agent over such interests in accordance with the provision of Section 8-106 of the UCC, or any successor provision, and (iii) with respect to any such Pledged Collateral that is not a “security” (as such term is defined in the UCC), when UCC financing statements in appropriate form are filed in the appropriate filing offices in the jurisdiction of organization of the Pledgors. Except as set forth in this subsection, no action is necessary to perfect the security interest granted by any Pledgor under this Agreement.

(d) Pledged Equity Interests. The information set forth on Schedule 1 hereto with respect to the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor is true and correct.

(e) Name, Organization, Etc. Such Pledgor’s exact legal name, type of legal entity, jurisdiction of formation, organizational identification number and location of its chief executive office are as set forth on Schedule 1. Except as set forth on such Schedule, since the date of such Pledgor’s formation, such Pledgor has not changed its name or merged with or otherwise combined its business with any other Person.

(f) Validly Issued, etc. All of the Pledged Interests have been duly authorized, are duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and are not subject to preemptive rights of any Person.

(e) Interests in Partnerships and LLCs. None of the Pledged Collateral consisting of an interest in a partnership or in a limited liability company (i) is dealt in or traded on a securities exchange or in securities markets, (ii) by its terms expressly provides that it is a security governed by Article 8 of the UCC, (iii) is an investment company security, (iv) otherwise constitutes a security or (v) constitutes a financial asset.

H-3

Section 3. Covenants. Each Pledgor hereby unconditionally covenants and agrees as follows:

(a) No Liens; No Sale of Pledged Collateral. Such Pledgor will not create, assume, incur or permit or suffer to exist or to be created, assumed or incurred, any Lien on any of the Pledged Collateral (or any interest therein), nor, without the prior written consent of the Agent, sell, lease, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral (or any interest therein).

(b) Change of Name, Etc. Without giving the Agent at least 30-days’ prior written notice and to the extent such action is not otherwise prohibited by any of the Loan Documents, such Pledgor shall not: (i) change its name; (ii) reorganize or otherwise become formed under the laws of another jurisdiction or (iii) become bound by a security agreement of another Person under Section 9-203(d) of the UCC.

(c) Defense of Title. Such Pledgor will warrant and defend its title to and ownership of the Pledged Collateral of such Pledgor, at its sole cost and expense, against the claims of all Persons.

(d) Delivery of Certificates, Etc. If a Pledgor shall receive any certificate (including, without limitation, any certificate representing a stock and/or liquidating dividends, other distributions in property, return of capital or other distributions made on or in respect of the Pledged Collateral, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of outstanding Equity Interests or received in exchange for Pledged Collateral or any part thereof or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets or on the liquidation, whether voluntary or involuntary, or otherwise), instrument, option or rights in respect of any Pledged Collateral, whether in addition to, in substitution of, as a conversion of, or in exchange for, any Pledged Collateral, or otherwise in respect thereof, such Pledgor shall hold the same in trust for the Agent and the other Secured Parties and promptly deliver the same to the Agent in the exact form received, duly indorsed by such Pledgor to the Agent, if required, together with an undated stock power covering such certificate (or other appropriate instrument of transfer) duly executed in blank by such Pledgor and with, if the Agent so requests, signature guaranteed, to be held by the Agent, subject to the terms of this Agreement, as Pledged Collateral.

(e) Uncertificated Securities. With respect to any Pledged Collateral that constitutes a security and is not represented or evidenced by a certificate or instrument, such Pledgor shall cause the Issuer thereof either (i) to register the Agent as the registered owner of such security or (ii) to agree in writing with the Agent and such Pledgor that such Issuer will comply with the instructions with respect to such security originated by the Agent without further consent of such Pledgor.

(f) Additional Shares. Such Pledgor shall not permit any Issuer to issue any additional Equity Interests unless such Equity Interests are pledged hereunder as provided herein. Further, such Pledgor shall not permit any Issuer to amend or modify its articles or certificate of

H-4

incorporation, articles of organization, certificate of limited partnership, by-laws, operating agreement, partnership agreement or other comparable organizational instrument in a manner which would materially adversely affect the voting, liquidation, preference or other similar rights of any holder of the Equity Interests pledged hereunder.

(g) Issuer Acknowledgment. Such Pledgor shall, upon the Agent’s request therefor, cause each Issuer of Pledged Collateral and which Issuer is not a Pledgor itself, to execute and deliver to the Agent an Acknowledgment and Consent substantially in the form of Schedule 2 attached hereto.

Section 4. Registration in Nominee Name, Denominations. The Agent shall have the right (in its sole and absolute discretion) to hold any Equity Interests which are part of the Pledged Collateral in its own name as pledgee, the name of its nominee (as Agent or as sub-agent) or the name of the Pledgor thereof, endorsed or assigned in blank or in favor of the Agent. Such Pledgor will promptly give to the Agent copies of any notices or other communications received by it with respect to any such Equity Interests constituting Pledged Collateral registered in the name of such Pledgor. The Agent shall at all times have the right to request that each Issuer of any Pledged Collateral issue certificates representing the Pledged Collateral and to exchange the certificates representing such Pledged Collateral for certificates of smaller or larger numbers of shares for any purpose consistent with this Agreement.

Section 5. Voting Rights; Dividends, etc.

(a) So long as no Event of Default exists:

(i) each Pledgor shall be entitled to exercise any and all voting and/or consensual rights and powers accruing to an owner of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof for any purpose not inconsistent with the terms and conditions of any of the Loan Documents or any agreement giving rise to or otherwise relating to any of the Secured Obligations; provided, however, that no Pledgor shall exercise, or refrain from exercising, any such right or power if any such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of such Pledged Collateral in the reasonable judgment of the Agent; and

(ii) each Pledgor shall be entitled to retain and use any and all cash distributions paid on the Pledged Collateral, but any and all equity and/or liquidating distributions, other distributions in property, return of capital or other distributions made on or in respect of Pledged Collateral, whether resulting from a subdivision, combination or reclassification of outstanding Equity Interests which are pledged hereunder or received in exchange for Pledged Collateral or any part thereof or as a result of any merger, consolidation, acquisition or other exchange of assets or on the liquidation, whether voluntary or involuntary, of any Issuer, or otherwise, shall be and become part of the Pledged Collateral pledged hereunder and, if received by such Pledgor, shall forthwith be delivered to the Agent to be held as collateral subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

H-5

The Agent agrees to execute and deliver to each Pledgor, or cause to be executed and delivered to such Pledgor, as appropriate, at the sole cost and expense of such Pledgor, all such proxies, powers of attorney, dividend orders and other instruments as such Pledgor may reasonably request for the purpose of enabling such Pledgor to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers which such Pledgor is entitled to exercise pursuant to clause (i) above and/or to receive the distributions and other amounts which such Pledgor is authorized to retain pursuant to clause (ii) above.

(b) If an Event of Default exists, all rights of the Pledgors to exercise the voting and/or consensual rights and powers which the Pledgors are entitled to exercise pursuant to subsection (a)(i) above and/or to receive the distributions and other amounts which the Pledgors are authorized to receive and retain pursuant to subsection (a)(ii) above shall cease, and all such rights thereupon shall become immediately vested in the Agent, which shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to exercise such voting and/or consensual rights and powers which the Pledgors shall otherwise be entitled to exercise pursuant to subsection (a)(i) above and/or to receive and retain the distributions and other amounts which the Pledgors shall otherwise be authorized to retain pursuant to subsection (a)(ii) above. Any and all money and other property paid over to or received by the Agent pursuant to the provisions of this subsection (b) shall be retained by the Agent as additional collateral hereunder and shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of Section 8. If any Pledgor shall receive any distributions or other property which it is not entitled to receive under this Section, such Pledgor shall hold the same in trust for the Agent and the other Secured Parties, without commingling the same with other funds or property of or held by such Pledgor, and shall promptly deliver the same to the Agent in the identical form received, together with any necessary endorsements.

Section 6. Event of Default Defined. For purposes of this Agreement, “Event of Default” shall mean any of the following events, whatever the reason for such event and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any governmental or nongovernmental body: (i) the failure of any Pledgor to comply with any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement; (ii) the occurrence of an “Event of Default” as such term is defined in the Credit Agreement; or (iii) any action is taken by the Issuer of any Pledged Interests or the members or trustees thereof to amend or modify the Organizational Documents in a manner that would (A) materially adversely affect the voting, liquidation, preference, redemption or other similar rights of any holder of the Pledged Interests or, (B) adversely affect the Agent’s or the other Secured Parties’ rights or remedies under this Pledge Agreement.

Section 7. Remedies upon Default.

(a) In addition to any right or remedy that the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties may have under the Credit Agreement, any other Loan Document or any Specified Derivatives Contract or otherwise under applicable law, if an Event of Default shall exist, the Agent may exercise any and all the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in any applicable jurisdiction and may otherwise sell, assign, transfer, endorse and deliver the whole or, from time to time, any part of the Pledged Collateral at a public or private sale or on any securities exchange, for cash, upon credit or for other

H-6

property, for immediate or future delivery, and for such price or prices and on such terms as the Agent in its discretion shall deem appropriate. The Agent shall be authorized at any sale (if it deems it advisable to do so) to restrict the prospective bidders or purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are purchasing the Pledged Collateral for their own account in compliance with the Securities Act and upon consummation of any such sale the Agent shall have the right to assign, transfer, endorse and deliver to the purchaser or purchasers thereof the Pledged Collateral so sold. Each purchaser at any sale of Pledged Collateral shall take and hold the property sold absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of any Pledgor, and each Pledgor hereby waives (to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law) all rights of redemption, stay and/or appraisal which such Pledgor now has or may at any time in the future have under any applicable law now existing or hereafter enacted. Each Pledgor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by applicable law, at least 5 days’ prior written notice to such Pledgor of the time and place of any public sale or the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification, but notice given in any other reasonable manner or at any other reasonable time shall also constitute reasonable notification. Such notice, in case of public sale, shall state the time and place for such sale, and, in the case of sale on a securities exchange, shall state the exchange on which such sale is to be made and the day on which the Pledged Collateral, or portion thereof, will first be offered for sale at such exchange. Any such public sale shall be held at such time or times within ordinary business hours and at such place or places as the Agent may fix and shall state in the notice or publication (if any) of such sale. At any such sale, the Pledged Collateral, or portion thereof to be sold, may be sold in one lot as an entirety or in separate parcels, as the Agent may determine in its sole and absolute discretion. Neither the Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties shall be obligated to make any sale of the Pledged Collateral if it shall determine not to do so regardless of the fact that notice of sale of the Pledged Collateral may have been given. The Agent or may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed for sale, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which the same was so adjourned. In case the sale of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral is made on credit or for future delivery, the Pledged Collateral so sold may be retained by the Agent until the sale price is paid by the purchaser or purchasers thereof, but neither the Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties shall incur any liability to any Pledgor in case any such purchaser or purchasers shall fail to take up and pay for the Pledged Collateral so sold and, in case of any such failure, such Pledged Collateral may be sold again upon like notice. At any public sale made pursuant to this Agreement, the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties and any other holder of any of the Secured Obligations, to the extent permitted by applicable law, may bid for or purchase, free from any right of redemption, stay and/or appraisal on the part of any Pledgor (all said rights being also hereby waived and released to the extent permitted by applicable law), any part of or all the Pledged Collateral offered for sale and may make payment on account thereof by using any claim then due and payable to the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties from any Pledgor as a credit against the purchase price, and the Agent and the Lenders may, upon compliance with the terms of sale and to the extent permitted by applicable law, hold, retain and dispose of such property without further accountability to any Pledgor therefor. For purposes hereof, a written agreement to purchase all or any part of the Pledged Collateral shall be treated as a sale thereof; the Agent shall be free to carry out such sale pursuant to such agreement and no Pledgor shall be entitled to the return of any Pledged Collateral subject thereto, notwithstanding the fact that after the Agent

H-7

shall have entered into such an agreement all Events of Default may have been remedied or the Secured Obligations may have been paid in full as herein provided. Each Pledgor hereby waives any right to require any marshaling of assets and any similar right.

(b) In addition to exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, the Agent shall also have the option to proceed by suit or suits at law or in equity to foreclose this Agreement and sell the Pledged Collateral or any portion thereof pursuant to judgment or decree of a court or courts having competent jurisdiction.

(c) The rights and remedies of the Agent and the other Secured Parties under this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have.

Section 8. Application of Proceeds of Sale and Cash. The proceeds of any sale of the whole or any part of the Pledged Collateral, together with any other moneys held by the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties under the provisions of this Agreement, shall be applied in accordance with the Credit Agreement. The Pledgor shall remain liable and will pay, on demand, any deficiency remaining in respect of the Secured Obligations.

Section 9. Agent Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Each Pledgor hereby constitutes and appoints the Agent as the attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor with full power of substitution either in the Agent’s name or in the name of such Pledgor to do any of the following, during the existence of an Event of Default, provided that the Agent may take any of the actions set forth in clause (c) below regardless of whether an Event of Default exists: (a) to perform any obligation of such Pledgor hereunder in such Pledgor’s name or otherwise; (b) to ask for, demand, sue for, collect, receive, receipt and give acquittance for any and all moneys due or to become due under and by virtue of any Pledged Collateral; (c) to prepare, execute, file, record or deliver notices, assignments, financing statements, continuation statements, applications for registration or like papers to perfect, preserve or release the Agent’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral or any of the documents, instruments, certificates and agreements described in Section 12.(b); (d) to verify facts concerning the Pledged Collateral in its own name or a fictitious name; (e) to endorse checks, drafts, orders and other instruments for the payment of money payable to such Pledgor, representing any interest or dividend or other distribution payable in respect of the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof or on account thereof and to give full discharge for the same; (f) to exercise all rights, powers and remedies which such Pledgor would have, but for this Agreement, under the Pledged Collateral; and (g) to carry out the provisions of this Agreement and to take any action and execute any instrument which the Agent may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof, and to do all acts and things and execute all documents in the name of the Pledgor or otherwise, deemed by the Agent as necessary, proper and convenient in connection with the preservation, perfection or enforcement of its rights hereunder. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as requiring or obligating the Agent or the other Secured Parties to make any commitment or to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it, or to present or file any claim or notice, or to take any action with respect to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof or the moneys due or to become due in respect thereof or any property covered thereby, and no action taken by the Agent or of the other Secured Parties or omitted to be taken with respect to the Pledged Collateral or any part thereof

H-8

shall give rise to any defense, counterclaim or offset in favor of any Pledgor or to any claim or action against the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties. The power of attorney granted herein is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.

Section 10. Agent’s Duty of Care. Other than the exercise of reasonable care to ensure that safe custody of the Pledged Collateral while being held by the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall have no duty or liability to preserve rights pertaining thereto, it being understood and agreed that each Pledgor shall responsible for preservation of all rights of such Pledgor in the Pledged Collateral. The Agent shall be deemed to have exercised reasonable care in the custody and preservation of the Pledged Collateral in its possession if such Pledged Collateral is accorded treatment substantially equal to that which the Agent accords its own property, it being understood that the Agent shall not have responsibility for (a) ascertaining or taking action with respect to calls, conversions, exchanges, maturities, tenders or other matters relating to any Pledged Collateral, whether or not the Agent has or is deemed to have knowledge of such matters or (b) taking any necessary steps to preserve rights against any parties with respect to any Pledged Collateral.

Section 11. Reimbursement of Agent. Each Pledgor agrees to pay upon demand to the Agent the amount of any and all reasonable expenses, including the reasonable fees disbursements and other charges of its counsel and of any experts or agents, and its fully allocated internal costs, that the Agent may incur in connection with (a) the administration of this Agreement, (b) the custody or preservation of, or any sale of, collection from, or other realization upon, any of the Pledged Collateral, (c) the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights of the Agent or the other Secured Parties hereunder, or (d) the failure by such Pledgor to perform or observe any of the provisions hereof. Any such amounts payable as provided hereunder shall be Secured Obligations.

Section 12. Further Assurances. Each Pledgor shall, at its sole cost and expense, take all action that may be necessary or desirable in the Agent’s reasonable discretion, so as at all times to maintain the validity, perfection, enforceability and priority of the Agent’s security interest in the Pledged Collateral, or to enable the Agent or the other Secured Parties to exercise or enforce their respective rights hereunder, including without limitation (a) delivering to the Agent, endorsed or accompanied by such instruments of assignment as the Agent may specify, any and all chattel paper, instruments, letters of credit and all other advices of guaranty and documents evidencing or forming a part of the Pledged Collateral and (b) executing and delivering pledges, designations, notices and assignments, in each case in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent, relating to the creation, validity, perfection, priority or continuation of the security interest granted hereunder. Each Pledgor agrees to take, and authorizes the Agent to take on such Pledgor’s behalf, any or all of the following actions with respect to any Pledged Collateral as the Agent shall deem necessary to perfect the security interest and pledge created hereby or to enable the Agent to enforce their respective rights and remedies hereunder: (i) to register in the name of the Agent any Pledged Collateral in certificated or uncertificated form; (ii) to endorse in the name of the Agent any Pledged Collateral issued in certificated form; and (iii) by book entry or otherwise, identify as belonging to the Agent a quantity of securities or partnership interests that constitutes all or part of the Pledged Collateral registered in the name of the Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Pledgor agrees that Pledged Collateral which is not in

H-9

certificated form or is otherwise in book-entry form shall be held for the account of the Agent. Each Pledgor hereby authorizes the Agent to file in all necessary and appropriate jurisdictions (as determined by the Agent) one or more financing or continuation statements (or any other document or instrument referred to in the immediately preceding clause (b)) in the name of such Pledgor. To the extent permitted by applicable law, a carbon, photographic, xerographic or other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement is sufficient as a financing statement. Any property comprising part of the Pledged Collateral required to be delivered to the Agent pursuant to this Pledge Agreement shall be accompanied by proper instruments of assignment duly executed by the Pledgors and by such other instruments or documents as the Agent may reasonably request.

Section 13. Securities Act. In view of the position of any Pledgor in relation to the Pledged Collateral, or because of other current or future circumstances, a question may arise under the Securities Act or any similar applicable law hereafter enacted analogous in purpose or effect (such Act and any such similar applicable law as from time to time in effect being called the “Federal Securities Laws”) with respect to any disposition of the Pledged Collateral permitted hereunder. Each Pledgor understands that compliance with the Federal Securities Laws might very strictly limit the course of conduct of the Agent if the Agent were to attempt to dispose of all or any part of the Pledged Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof, and might also limit the extent to which or the manner in which any subsequent transferee of any Pledged Collateral could dispose of the same. Similarly, there may be other legal restrictions or limitations affecting the Agent in any attempt to dispose of all or part of the Pledged Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof under applicable Blue Sky or other state securities laws or similar applicable law analogous in purpose or effect. Each Pledgor recognizes that in light of the foregoing restrictions and limitations the Agent may, with respect to any sale of the Pledged Collateral, limit the purchasers to those who will agree, among other things, to acquire such Pledged Collateral for their own account, for investment, and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that in light of the foregoing restrictions and limitations, the Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may, in accordance with applicable law, (a) proceed to make such a sale whether or not a registration statement for the purpose of registering such Pledged Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under the Federal Securities Laws and (b) approach and negotiate with a single potential purchaser to effect such sale. Each Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such sale might result in prices and other terms less favorable to the seller than if such sale were a public sale without such restrictions. In the event of any such sale, neither the Agent nor any of the other Secured Parties shall incur any responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Pledged Collateral in accordance with the terms hereof at a price that the Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good faith deem reasonable under the circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might have been realized if the sale were deferred until after registration as aforesaid or if more than a single purchaser were approached. The provisions of this Section will apply notwithstanding the existence of public or private market upon which the quotations or sales prices may exceed substantially the price at which the Agent sell.

Section 14. Investment Property. The Pledgor shall not, and shall not allow any issuer of any Pledged Collateral, to the extent such issuer is a limited liability company or a partnership, to elect that Pledged Interests, except as directed or requested by the Agent, be securities

H-10

governed by Article 8 of the Uniform Commercial Code. No issuer of any Pledged Collateral has made such an election.

Section 15. Security Interest Absolute. All rights of the Agent hereunder, the grant of a security interest in the Pledged Collateral and all obligations of the Pledgor hereunder, shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of (a) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Loan Document, any agreement with respect to any of the Secured Obligations or any other agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing, (b) any change in the time, manner or place of the payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Secured Obligations, or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to any departure from any of the documents, instruments or agreements evidencing any of the Secured Obligations, (c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any other collateral, or any release or amendment or waiver of or consent to or departure from any guaranty, for all or any of the Secured Obligations or (d) any other circumstance that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Pledgor in respect of the Secured Obligations or in respect of this Agreement (other than the indefeasible payment in full of all the Secured Obligations).

Section 16. Continuing Security Interest. This Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Pledged Collateral and shall remain in full force and effect until it terminates in accordance with its terms. The Pledgors or the Agent hereby agree that the security interest created by this Agreement in the Pledged Collateral shall not terminate and shall continue and remain in full force and effect notwithstanding the transfer to the Pledgors or any person designated by it of all or any portion of the Pledged Collateral.

Section 17. No Waiver. Neither the failure on the part of the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties to exercise, nor the delay on its part in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder, nor any course of dealing between the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties and any Pledgor shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or remedy hereunder preclude any other or the further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

Section 18. Notices. All notices, requests and other communications hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile transmission or similar writing) and shall be given (a) to a Pledgor at its address set forth below its signature hereto, (b) to the Agent or any Lender at its respective address for notices provided for in the Credit Agreement, or (c) as to each such party at such other address as such party shall designate in a written notice to the other parties. Each such notice, request or other communication shall be effective (i) if mailed, when received or when receipt is refused; (ii) if telecopied, when transmitted; or (iii) if hand delivered, when delivered; provided, however, that any notice of a change of address for notices shall not be effective until received.

SECTION 19. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS EXECUTED, AND TO BE FULLY PERFORMED, IN SUCH STATE.

H-11

Section 20. Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to any departure by any Pledgor herefrom shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the parties hereto, and then such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

Section 21. Binding Agreement; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns, except that no Pledgor shall be permitted to assign this Agreement or any interest herein or in the Pledged Collateral, or any part thereof, or any cash or property held by the Agent or any of the other Secured Parties as collateral under this Agreement, and any such assignment by a Pledgor shall be null and void absent the prior written consent of the Agent.

Section 22. Termination. Upon indefeasible payment in full of all of the Secured Obligations, this Agreement shall terminate. Upon termination of this Agreement in accordance with its terms the Agent agrees to take such actions as the Pledgors may reasonably request, and at the sole cost and expense of the Pledgors to evidence the termination of this Agreement.

Section 23. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provisions shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of such provisions or the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

Section 24. Headings. Section headings used herein are for convenience only and are not to affect the construction of or be taken into consideration in interpreting this Agreement.

Section 25. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall constitute but one agreement.

(ii) if the Restoration Conditions are not satisfied, to the payment of the Obligations, whether or not due and as provided in Section 11.5 of the Credit Agreement or for any other purposes or objects for which Agent is expressly entitled to advance or apply funds under the Loan Documents;

all without affecting the Lien of this Security Instrument, and any balance of such moneys then remaining shall be paid to Owner or whomever may be legally entitled thereto.

(f) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if (i) the Collateral can be restored to a condition at least equal to the condition thereof that existed prior to the casualty within less than 180 days after the occurrence of the casualty and at least six (6) months prior to the Termination Date, (ii) the cost of restoration is less than 10% of the Appraised Value of the Collateral, and (iii) no Credit Agreement Event of Default exists, then any applicable insurance proceeds shall be paid directly to Owner.

Section 3.18 Tax and Insurance Escrow. While a Credit Agreement Event of Default exists, at Agent’s option, in order to implement the provisions of Sections 3.13(a) and 3.15 hereof, Owner shall pay to Agent monthly, annually, or as otherwise directed by Agent, an amount (“Escrowed Sums”) equal to the sum of (a) the annual Impositions (reasonably estimated by Agent, wherever necessary) to become due for the tax year during which such payment is so directed and (b) the insurance premiums for the same year for those insurance policies as are required hereunder. If Agent reasonably determines that any amounts paid by Owner are insufficient for the payment in full of such Impositions and insurance premiums, Agent shall notify Owner of the increased amounts required to provide sufficient funds, whereupon Owner shall pay to Agent within 15 days thereafter the additional amount as stated in Agent’s notice. The Escrowed Sums may be held by Agent in non-interest bearing accounts and may be commingled with Agent’s other funds.

If the holder of any Lien on any of the Collateral (other than Agent or any of the other Secured Parties) institutes foreclosure or other proceedings for the enforcement of its remedies thereunder or in respect thereof and such proceedings are not contested by Owner in good faith as expressly permitted in and pursuant to Section 8.6 of the Credit Agreement.

ARTICLE VI. REMEDIES

6.1 Remedies. If a Credit Agreement Event of Default exists after the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, Agent may [or acting by or through Trustee may], unless the Requisite Lenders have directed the Agent otherwise, exercise any or all of the following rights, remedies and recourses:

(a) Termination of License.

(i) The License granted to Owner in Section 8.3 shall automatically terminate upon the occurrence of a Credit Agreement Event of Default. Thereafter, Agent may exercise the rights, powers and privileges of landlord under the Leases, and then and thereafter, with or without taking possession of the Collateral, in Owner’s own name or in the name of Agent, demand, collect, receive, sue for, attach and levy on the Rents (including demand for Rents collected for the period in which the demand occurs) and give proper receipts, releases and acquittances therefor.

(ii) Deliver a written demand to any Tenant for payment of Rents, which demand shall be sufficient evidence of each such Tenant’s obligation and authority to make all future payments of Rents to Agent without the necessity for further consent by the Owner. Owner, for itself and its agents, covenants and agrees not to countermand any such written demand to Tenants for payment of Rents.

(b) Entry on Collateral.

(i) Demand that Owner, and upon such demand Owner shall, forthwith surrender to Agent the actual possession of the Collateral, and to the extent not prohibited by Applicable Law, enter and take possession of all of the Collateral without the appointment of a receiver, or an application therefor, and exclude Owner and its agents and employees wholly therefrom, and have joint access with Owner to the books, papers and accounts of Owner.

(ii) If Owner shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Collateral or any part thereof after such demand by Agent, Agent may seek a judgment or decree conferring upon Agent the right to immediate possession or requiring Owner to deliver immediate possession of the Collateral to Agent, and Owner hereby specifically covenants and agrees that Owner shall not oppose, contest or otherwise hinder or delay Agent in any action or proceeding by Agent to obtain such judgment or decree. Owner shall pay to Agent, upon demand, all expenses of obtaining such judgment or decree, including reasonable compensation to Agent, its attorneys and agents, and all such expenses and compensation shall, until paid, become part of the Obligations and shall be secured by this Security Instrument.

J - 28

(iii) Upon every such entering on or taking of possession, Agent may hold, store, use, operate, manage and control the Collateral and conduct the business thereof, and, from time to time, (A) make all necessary and proper maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments and improvements thereto and thereon and purchase or otherwise acquire additional fixtures, personalty and other property, (B) insure or keep the Collateral insured, (C) manage and operate the Collateral and exercise all the rights and powers of Owner to the same extent as Owner could in its own name or otherwise act with respect to the same, and (D) enter into any and all agreements with respect to the exercise by others of any of the powers herein granted to Agent, all as Agent from time to time may determine to be in its best interest. Anything in this Security Instrument to the contrary notwithstanding, neither Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be obligated to discharge or perform the duties of the landlord to any Tenant or incur any liability as the result of any exercise by Agent of its rights under this Security Instrument, and Agent shall be liable to account only for the Rents actually received by Agent.

(iv) Make, modify, enforce, cancel or accept surrender of any Lease, remove and evict any Tenant, increase or decrease Rents under any Lease, appear in and defend any action or proceeding purporting to affect the Collateral, and perform and discharge each and every obligation, covenant and agreement of Owner contained in any Lease, whether or not Agent takes possession of the Collateral.

(v) Neither the entering upon and taking possession of the Collateral, nor the collection of any Rents and the application thereof as aforesaid, shall cure or waive any Credit Agreement Event of Default theretofore or thereafter occurring, or affect any notice of a Credit Agreement Event of Default or invalidate any act done pursuant to any such notice. Neither Agent nor any other Secured Party shall be liable to Owner, anyone claiming under or through Owner, or anyone having an interest in the Collateral by reason of anything done or left undone by Agent hereunder. Nothing contained in this subsection (b) shall require Agent to incur any expense or do any act. If the Rents are not sufficient to meet the costs of taking control of and managing the Collateral and/or collecting the Rents, any funds expended by Agent or the other Secured Parties for such purposes shall become Obligations of Owner to Agent or the other Secured Parties, as the case may be, secured by this Security Instrument. Such amounts, together with interest at the Post-Default Rate, and attorneys’ fees, if applicable, shall be immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding Agent’s continuance in possession or receipt and application of Rents, Agent shall be entitled to exercise every right provided for in this Security Instrument or by Applicable Law upon the existence of a Credit Agreement Event of Default. Any of the actions referred to in this subsection (b) may be taken by Agent at such time as Agent is so entitled, without regard to the adequacy of any security for the Obligations hereby secured.

(c) Foreclosure and Sale. Agent may (i) institute proceedings, judicial or otherwise, for the complete foreclosure of this Security Instrument under any applicable provision of law, in which case the Property or any interest therein may be sold for cash or upon credit in one or

J - 29

more parcels or in several interests or portions and in any order or manner; (ii) with or without entry, to the extent permitted and pursuant to the procedures provided by Applicable Law, institute proceedings for the partial foreclosure of this Security Instrument for the portion of the Obligations then due and payable, subject to the continuing lien and security interest of this Security Instrument for the balance of the Obligations not then due, unimpaired and without loss of priority; or (iii) sell for cash or upon credit the Property or any part thereof and all estate, claim, demand, right, title and interest of Owner therein and rights of redemption thereof, pursuant to power of sale or otherwise, at one or more sales, as an entirety or in parcels, at such time and place, upon such terms and after such notice thereof as may be required or permitted by law.

(d) Receiver. Agent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be entitled as a matter of strict right, without notice and without regard to the adequacy or value of any security for the Obligations or the solvency of any party bound for its payment, to the appointment of a receiver to take possession of and to operate the Collateral and to collect and apply the incomes, rents, issues, profits and revenues thereof. The receiver shall have all of the rights and powers permitted under the laws of the state where the Property is located. Owner shall pay to Agent upon demand all expenses, including receiver’s fees, reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and agent’s compensation, incurred pursuant to the provisions of this subsection, and any such amounts paid by Agent shall be added to the Obligations and shall be secured by this Security Instrument.

(e) Performance by Agent. At Agent’s option and without any obligation to do so, pay, perform or observe any term, covenant or condition of this Security Instrument not paid, performed or observed by Owner, and all payments made or costs or expenses incurred by Agent in connection therewith shall be secured hereby and shall be, without demand, immediately repaid by Owner to Agent with interest thereon at the Post-Default Rate. Agent shall be the sole judge of the necessity for any such actions and of the amounts to be paid. Agent is hereby empowered to enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Collateral or any part thereof for the purpose of performing or observing any such defaulted term, covenant or condition without thereby becoming liable to Owner or any person in possession holding under Owner.

(f) Relief From Automatic Stay. If Owner is the subject of any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, dissolution, reorganization, or similar proceeding, federal or state, voluntary or involuntary, under any present or future Applicable Law, Agent shall be entitled to relief from the automatic stay as to the enforcement of its remedies under the Loan Documents against the Collateral, including specifically, but not limited to, the stay imposed by 11 U.S.C. Section 362, as amended, and Owner hereby consents to the immediate lifting of any such automatic stay and will not contest any motion by Agent to lift such stay.

(g) Other. Agent may (i) institute an action, suit or proceeding in equity for the specific performance of any covenant, condition or agreement contained herein or under the Loan Documents; (ii) recover judgment on the Notes either before, during or after any proceedings for the enforcement of this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents; or (iii) exercise any and all other rights, remedies and recourses granted under this Security Instrument

J - 30

(including, without limitation, those set forth in Articles VII, VIII and IX hereinbelow) or now or hereafter existing in equity, at law, by virtue of statute or otherwise.

(h) Cessation of Status as an Eligible Property and as a Borrowing Base Property. The Collateral shall cease to be an Eligible Property and shall cease to be included in calculations of the Borrowing Base automatically without any notice from or action by Agent or Lenders.

Section 6.2 Separate Sales. With respect to sales hereunder, the Collateral may be sold in one or more parcels and in such manner and order as Agent, in its sole discretion, may elect [or direct Trustee to elect], it being expressly understood and agreed that the right of sale arising out of any Credit Agreement Event of Default shall not be exhausted by any one or more sales.

Section 6.3 Remedies Cumulative, Concurrent and Non-Exclusive. Agent and the other Secured Parties shall have all rights, remedies and recourses granted in this Security Instrument and available under Applicable Law (including specifically those granted by the Uniform Commercial Code in effect and applicable to the Collateral or any portion thereof), and if such Event of Default also constitutes a Credit Agreement Event of Default, all rights, remedies and recourses granted in the Loan Documents and available under Applicable Law. All such rights and remedies (a) shall be cumulative and concurrent, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, (b) may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Owner, Borrower or any other Loan Party or any other Person, or against any of the Collateral (as defined in the Credit Agreement), or against any one or more of them, at the sole discretion of Agent, all to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, (c) may be exercised as often as occasion therefor shall arise, it being agreed by Owner that the exercise or failure to exercise any of same shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse, and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, nonexclusive.

Section 6.4 No Conditions Precedent to Exercise of Remedies. Neither Borrower, Owner, or any other Person obligated for payment of all or any part of, or fulfillment of all or any of, the Obligations, shall be relieved of such obligation by reason of (a) the failure of Agent or any other Secured Party to comply with any request of Owner, any Loan Party or any other Person so obligated, to foreclose this Security Instrument or to enforce any provisions of the other Loan Documents, (b) the release, regardless of consideration, of any of the Collateral (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or the addition of any other property to such Collateral, (c) any agreement or stipulation between any subsequent owner of any of such Collateral and Agent extending, renewing, rearranging or in any other way modifying the terms of the Loan Documents without first having obtained the consent of, given notice to or paid any consideration to Owner, such other Loan Party or such other Person, and in such event, Owner, all such other Loan Parties and all such other Persons shall continue to be liable to make payment according to the terms of any such extension or modification agreement unless expressly released and discharged, in writing, by Agent, or (d) by any other act or occurrence, save and except the complete payment and the complete fulfillment of all of the Obligations.

J - 31

Section 6.5 Release of and Resort to Collateral. Agent may release, regardless of consideration, any part of the Collateral without, as to the remainder of the Collateral, in any way impairing, affecting, subordinating or releasing any of the Liens created or evidenced by any of the Loan Documents or their position as a first and prior Lien in and to the Collateral (as defined in the Credit Agreement). For payment of the Obligations, Agent may resort to any security therefor held by Agent in such order and manner as Agent may elect.

Section 6.6 Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, etc. Owner agrees, to the full extent permitted by Applicable Law, that neither Owner nor anyone claiming through or under Owner will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any moratorium, reinstatement, forbearance, appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, homestead, exemption or redemption laws now or hereafter in force in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Security Instrument or the absolute sale of the Collateral, the delivery of possession thereof immediately after such sale to the purchaser at such sale, or the exercise of any other right or remedy hereunder. Owner, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives to the full extent that it may lawfully so do, the benefit of all such Applicable Laws, and any and all right to have assets subject to the Lien of this Security Instrument marshaled upon any foreclosure or sale under the power herein granted or a sale in inverse order of alienation.

Section 6.7 Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case Agent shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Security Instrument by foreclosure [(through Trustee or otherwise)], entry or otherwise, or if Agent commences advertising of the intended exercise of the sale under power provided hereunder and such proceeding or advertisement shall have been withdrawn, discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to Agent, then in every such case (a) Owner and Agent shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights, (b) all rights, powers and remedies of Agent shall continue as if no such proceeding had been taken, (c) each and every Credit Agreement Event of Default declared or occurring prior or subsequent to such withdrawal, discontinuance or abandonment shall be and shall be deemed to be a continuing Credit Agreement Event of Default and (d) neither this Security Instrument, nor the Obligations, nor any other Loan Document, shall be or shall be deemed to have been reinstated or otherwise affected by such withdrawal, discontinuance or abandonment. Owner hereby expressly waives the benefit of any Applicable Law now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would produce a result contrary to or in conflict with the provisions of this Section.

Section 6.8 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale of, and the Rents and other amounts generated by the holding, leasing, operation or other use of, the Collateral (including, without limitation, the Leases) shall be applied by Agent (or the receiver, if one is appointed) as provided in Section 11.5 of the Credit Agreement.

Section 6.9 Leases. If a Credit Agreement Event of Default exists after any applicable notice and cure period, Agent, at its option, is authorized to foreclose this Security Instrument subject to the rights of any Tenants of the Collateral under any Leases, and the failure to make any Tenants parties to any such foreclosure proceedings and to foreclose their rights shall not be, nor be asserted to be by Owner, a defense to any proceedings instituted by Agent to collect the Obligations.

J - 32

Section 6.10 Purchase by Agent or the other Secured Parties. Upon any foreclosure sale or sales of all or any portion of the Collateral under the power of sale herein granted, Agent and/or other Secured Parties may bid for and purchase the Collateral and shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the Obligations as a credit to the purchase price.

Section 6.11 Owner as Tenant Holding Over.

Section 6.12 Suits to Protect the Collateral. Agent shall have the power to institute and maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient (a) to prevent any impairment of the Collateral by any acts which may be unlawful or constitute an Event of Default under this Security Instrument, (b) to preserve or protect its interest in the Collateral and in the Leases and Rents arising therefrom, and (c) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order would impair the security hereunder or be prejudicial to the interest of Agent.

Section 6.13 Proofs of Claim. In the case of any receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting Owner, its creditors or its property, Agent, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, shall be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of Agent allowed in such proceedings for the entire amount of the Obligations at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount of the Obligations after such date.

Section 6.14 Occupancy After Foreclosure. The purchaser at any foreclosure sale pursuant to Section 6.1(c) shall become the legal owner of the Collateral or the portion thereof foreclosed. All occupants (except those which have previously executed a prior written agreement with purchaser) of the Collateral or any part thereof shall become tenants at sufferance of the purchaser at the foreclosure sale and shall deliver possession thereof immediately to the purchaser upon demand, subject to the rights, if any, of Tenants.

Section 6.15 Other Rights. (a) The failure of Agent to insist upon strict performance of any term hereof shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any term of this Security Instrument. Owner shall not be relieved of Owner’s obligations hereunder by reason of (i) the failure of Agent to comply with any request of Owner or any guarantor or indemnitor with respect to the Loans to take any action to foreclose this Security Instrument or otherwise enforce any of the provisions hereof or of the Notes or the other Loan Documents, (ii) the release, regardless of consideration, of the whole or any part of the Property, or of any Person liable for the Obligations or any portion thereof, or (iii) any agreement or stipulation by Agent and/or Lenders extending the time of payment or otherwise modifying or supplementing the terms of the Notes, this Security Instrument or the other Loan Documents.

J - 33

(b) It is agreed that the risk of loss or damage to the Property is on Owner, and Agent and the other Secured Parties shall have no liability whatsoever for decline in the value of the Property, for failure to maintain the insurance policies required to be maintained pursuant to the Credit Agreement, or for failure to determine whether insurance in force is adequate as to the amount of risks insured. Possession by Agent shall not be deemed an election of judicial relief if any such possession is requested or obtained with respect to any Property or collateral not in Agent’s possession.

(c) Agent may resort for the payment of the Obligations to any other security held by Agent in such order and manner as set forth in the Credit Agreement or as otherwise determined by Lenders. Agent may take action to recover the Obligations, or any portion thereof, or to enforce any covenant hereof without prejudice to the right of Agent thereafter to foreclose this Security Instrument. The rights of Agent under this Security Instrument shall be separate, distinct and cumulative and none shall be given effect to the exclusion of the others. No act of Agent shall be construed as an election to proceed under any one provision herein to the exclusion of any other provision. Agent shall not be limited exclusively to the rights and remedies herein stated but shall be entitled to every right and remedy now or hereafter afforded at law or in equity.

Section 6.17 Bankruptcy. Upon the existence of a Credit Agreement Event of Default, Agent shall have the right to proceed in its own name or in the name of Owner in respect of any claim, suit, action or proceeding relating to the rejection of any Lease, including, without limitation, the right to file and prosecute, to the exclusion of Owner, any proofs of claim, complaints, motions, applications, notices and other documents, in any case in respect of the lessee under such Lease under the Bankruptcy Code.

Section 6.18 Waiver of Counterclaim. Owner hereby waives the right to assert a counterclaim, other than a compulsory counterclaim, in any action or proceeding brought against it by Agent, any other Secured Party or any of their agents.

Section 8.1 Assignment. For and in consideration of ONE DOLLAR ($1.00), and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and in order to secure the full and timely payment of the Obligations and the full and timely performance and discharge of the Obligations, Owner has GRANTED, BARGAINED, SOLD, CONVEYED, ASSIGNED, TRANSFERRED, SET OVER and DELIVERED, and by these presents does hereby GRANT, BARGAIN, SELL, CONVEY, ASSIGN, TRANSFER, SET OVER and DELIVER ABSOLUTELY and UNCONDITIONALLY unto [Trustee and the Trustee’s successors and/or assigns for the benefit of Secured Parties][Agent and Agent’s successors and/or assigns for the benefit of Secured Parties] the Leases (whether now existing or entered into after the date hereof) and the Rents (it being intended by Owner that this assignment constitutes a present, absolute assignment and not an assignment for additional security only), subject only to the hereinafter described License, TO HAVE AND TO HOLD the Leases and the Rents unto Agent [and Trustee], its successors and assigns, for the benefit of Secured Parties forever, and Owner does hereby bind itself, its successors and assigns to WARRANT and FOREVER DEFEND the title to the Leases and the Rents unto Agent [and Trustee] against every Person whomsoever lawfully claiming or to claim the same or any part thereof. If a Credit Agreement Event of Default exists, Agent shall have the right, power and privilege (but shall be under no duty) to demand possession of the Rents, which demand shall, to the fullest extent permitted by Applicable Law, be sufficient action by Agent to entitle Agent to immediate and direct payment of the Rents (including delivery to Agent of Rents collected for the period in which the demand occurs and for any subsequent period), for application as provided herein, all without the necessity of any further action by Agent, including, without limitation, any action to obtain possession of the Improvements or the Property. Owner hereby authorizes and directs the Tenants under the Leases to pay Rents to Agent upon written demand by Agent, without further consent of Owner, without any obligation to determine whether a Credit Agreement Event of Default has in fact occurred and regardless of whether Agent has taken possession of any portion of the Property, and the Tenants may rely upon any written statement delivered by Agent to the Tenants. Any such payment to Agent shall constitute payment to Owner under the Leases, and Owner hereby appoints Agent as Owner’s lawful attorney-in-fact for giving, and Agent is hereby empowered to give, acquittances to any Tenants for such payments to Agent after a default.

Section 8.2 Continuation and Termination of Assignment. If Owner shall pay or cause to be paid the Obligations as and when same shall become due and payable and shall perform and discharge or cause to be performed and discharged the Obligations on or before the date the same are to be performed and discharged in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, then this assignment shall thereupon be terminated and of no further force and effect, and all rights, titles and interests conveyed pursuant to this assignment shall become revested in Owner without the necessity of any further act or requirement by Owner or Agent; provided, however,

J - 36

an affidavit, certificate, letter or statement of any officer of Agent stating that any part of the Obligations remains unpaid and undischarged shall be and constitute conclusive evidence of the validity, effectiveness or continuing force of the within assignment, and any person, firm or corporation may, and is hereby authorized to, rely thereon.

Section 8.3 Revocable License. Provided that there exists no Credit Agreement Event of Default, Owner shall have the right under a revocable license granted hereby, and Agent hereby grants to Owner a revocable license (the “License”), to (i) collect, but not prior to accrual, all of the Rents arising from or out of the Leases, or any renewals or extensions thereof, or from or out of the Collateral or any part thereof, and (ii) to enforce the terms of the Leases. Owner shall receive such Rents, and Owner hereby covenants that Owner shall use and apply all Rents first to the payment of the Obligations in accordance with the terms thereof and of the Loan Documents, and then to the payment of all Impositions and costs and expenses of management, operation, repair, maintenance, preservation, reconstruction and restoration of the Collateral in accordance with the requirements of this Security Instrument and the obligations of Owner as the lessor under the Leases, and shall not use such Rents for purposes unrelated to the Property unless and until all current payments on the Obligations, Impositions, and such costs and expenses have been paid or provided for.

Section 8.4 Owner’s Indemnities. Owner hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Agent and the other Secured Parties free and harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, cost, damage or expense which Agent and/or the other Secured Parties may incur under or by reason of this assignment, or for any action taken by the Agent hereunder, or by reason or in defense of any and all claims and demands whatsoever which may be asserted against Agent and/or the other Secured Parties arising out of the Leases (except to the extent caused by the gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment, of Agent or any other Secured Party), including specifically, but without limitation, any claim by any Tenant of credit for Rents paid to and received by Owner, but not delivered to Agent, for any period under any Lease more than 1 month in advance of the due date thereof. If Agent or any other Secured Party incurs any such liability, loss, cost, damage or expense, the amount thereof, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, with interest thereon at the Post-Default Rate, shall be payable by Owner to Agent immediately, without demand, and shall be secured hereby and by all other Loan Documents.

Section 8.5 Appointment of Attorney-in-Fact. Owner hereby further constitutes and appoints Agent the true and lawful attorney-in-fact of the Owner, and, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, in the name, place and stead of said Owner, to subject and subordinate at any time and from time to time any Lease or any part thereof to the lien and security title and security interest of this Security Instrument or any other mortgage, security deed, deed of trust or security agreement on or to any ground lease of the Collateral, or to request or require such subordination, where such reservation, option or authority was reserved to the Owner under any such Lease, or in any case where the Owner otherwise would have the right, power or privilege so to do. The foregoing appointment is irrevocable and continuing and coupled with an interest, and such rights, powers and privileges shall be exclusive in Agent and its successors and assigns so long as any part of the Obligations secured hereby remains unpaid and undischarged. Owner hereby warrants that Owner has not at any time prior

J - 37

to the date hereof exercised any such rights, and Owner hereby covenants not to exercise any such right, to subordinate any such Lease to the lien of this Security Instrument or to any other security deed, mortgage, deed of trust or security agreement or to any ground lease.

Section 8.6 Exculpation of Agent. The acceptance by Agent of this assignment of the Leases and Rents, with all of the rights, powers, privileges and authority created hereby shall not, prior to entry upon and taking possession of the Collateral by Agent, be deemed or construed to constitute Agent a “mortgagee in possession”, nor thereafter or at any time or in any event obligate the Agent to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Leases, the Rents or the Collateral or to take any action hereunder or to expend any money or incur any expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under any Lease or to assume any obligation or responsibility for any security deposits or other deposits delivered to Owner by any Tenant and not assigned and delivered to Agent, nor shall Agent be liable in any way for any injury or damage to persons or property sustained by any person or persons, firm or corporation in or about the Collateral, except, in each case, as a result of Agent’s gross negligence and willful misconduct, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-appealable judgment.

Section 8.7 Agent as Creditor. Notwithstanding the license granted in Section 8.3 above, Owner agrees that Agent, and not Owner, shall be deemed to be the creditor of each Tenant in respect of assignments for the benefit of creditors in bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, dissolution, or receivership proceedings affecting any Tenant (without obligation on the part of Agent, however, to file or make timely filings of claims in such proceedings or otherwise to pursue creditor’s rights therein), with an option to Agent to apply any money received by Agent as such creditor in reduction of the Obligations.

Section 8.8 Right to Further Assignment. Agent shall have the right to assign Owner’s right, title, and interest in the Leases to any subsequent holder of this Security Instrument and to any Person acquiring title to the Property through foreclosure or otherwise. The receipt by Agent of any Rents pursuant to the assignment set forth in Section 8.1 hereof after the institution of foreclosure proceedings under this Security Instrument shall not cure such default nor affect such proceedings or any sale pursuant thereto. After Owner shall have been barred and foreclosed of all right, title and interest in the Property, no Agent of Owner’s interest in the Leases shall be liable to account to Owner for the Rents thereafter accruing.

Section 8.9 Cancellation Proceeds. The Leases shall remain in full force and effect irrespective of any merger of the interest of the lessor and Tenants thereunder. If any Lease permits cancellation thereof on payment of consideration and said privilege of cancellation is exercised, the payments made or to be made by reason thereof are hereby assigned to Agent to be applied to the Obligations in accordance with the applicable terms of the Loan Documents or to be held in trust by Agent as further security, without interest, for the Obligations.

The Specified Derivatives Contract Breakage Costs shall be due and payable by Owner pursuant to the terms of any Specified Derivatives Contract. The Specified Derivatives Contract Breakage Costs shall be immediately due and payable upon demand by Agent.

Section 9.3 Performance at Owner’s Expense. Owner shall pay to Agent and Lenders immediately upon demand all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agent and Lenders in connection herewith as provided in Section 13.2 of the Credit Agreement [(and Owner hereby agrees to pay the costs and expenses of Trustee in connection herewith to the same extent as if Trustee was specifically included with Agent in the provisions of such Section)], and the same shall be secured hereby.

Section 9.6 Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Security Instrument shall be made and delivered as provided in [If Owner is Borrower — Section 13.1 of the Credit Agreement][If Owner is Guarantor — the notice provisions of the Guaranty].

Section 9.7 No Waiver. Any failure by Agent or the other Secured Parties to insist, or any election by Agent or the other Secured Parties not to insist, upon strict performance by Owner of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Security Instrument shall not be deemed to be a waiver of same or of any other term, provision or condition hereof, and Agent and the other Secured Parties shall have the right at any time or times thereafter to insist upon strict performance by Owner of any and all such terms, provisions and conditions. No delay or omission by Agent or the other Secured Parties to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any breach or Credit Agreement Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or Credit Agreement Event of Default, or acquiescence therein, and every right, power and remedy given by this Security Instrument to Agent or the other Secured Parties may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Agent or the other Secured Parties. No consent or waiver, expressed or implied, by Agent or the other Secured Parties to or of any breach or Credit Agreement Event of Default by Owner in the performance of the Obligations of Owner or to any other Credit Agreement Event of Default shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach or Credit Agreement Event of Default in the performance of the same or any other Obligations of Owner. Failure on the part of Agent to complain of any act or failure to act or to declare a Credit Agreement Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver of rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers, or remedies of Agent or the other Secured Parties hereunder.

No act or omission by Agent or the other Secured Parties shall release, discharge, modify, change or otherwise affect the liability of Owner under this Security Instrument or any of the other Loan Documents to which it is a party or in respect of any Obligations of Owner or the liability of any subsequent purchaser of the Collateral or any part thereof, or any maker, cosigner, endorser, surety or guarantor, or preclude Agent or the other Secured Parties from exercising any right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in the event of any Credit Agreement Event of Default then made or by any subsequent Credit Agreement Event of Default, or alter the Lien of this Security Instrument. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Agent and the other Secured Parties may:

(a) grant forbearance or an extension of time for the payment of all or any portion of the Obligations;

(b) take other or additional security for the payment of the Obligations;

J - 40

(d) change any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements of the Credit Agreement, this Security Instrument, or the other Loan Documents;

(e) consent to the filing of any map, plat or replat affecting the Collateral;

(f) consent to the granting of any easement or other right affecting the Collateral;

(g) make or consent to any agreement subordinating the security title, security interest or lien hereof; or

(h) take or omit to take any action whatsoever with respect to the Credit Agreement, this Security Instrument, the Collateral or any document or instrument evidencing, securing or in any way relating to the Obligations;

all without releasing, discharging, modifying, changing or affecting any such liability, or precluding Agent or the other Secured Parties from exercising any such right, power or privilege, or affecting the Lien of this Security Instrument. In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all or any part of the Collateral, Agent, without notice, is hereby authorized and empowered to deal with any such vendee or transferee with reference to the Collateral or the Obligations, or with reference to any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements hereof, as fully and to the same extent as it might deal with the original parties hereto and without in any way releasing or discharging any liabilities, Obligations or undertakings.

Section 9.8 Agent’s Right to Perform the Obligations. If Owner shall fail, refuse or neglect to make any payment or perform any act required by the Loan Documents, upon the occurrence of and during the continuance of an Event of Default, after the expiration of relevant notice and cure periods, then at any time thereafter, and without notice to or demand upon Owner and without waiving or releasing any other right, remedy or recourse Agent may have because of same, Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) make such payment or perform such act for the account of and at the expense of Owner, and shall have the right to enter the Property and Improvements for such purpose and to take all such action thereon and with respect to the Collateral as it may deem necessary or appropriate. If Agent shall elect to pay any Imposition or other sums due with reference to the Collateral, Agent may do so in reliance on any bill, statement or assessment procured from the appropriate Governmental Authority or other issuer thereof without inquiring into the accuracy or validity thereof. Similarly, in making any payments to protect the security intended to be created by the Loan Documents, Agent shall not be bound to inquire into the validity of any apparent or threatened adverse title, lien, encumbrance, claim or charge before making an advance for the purpose of preventing or removing the same. Owner shall indemnify Agent and the other Secured Parties for all losses, expenses, damages, claims and causes of action, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred or accruing by reason of any acts performed by Agent pursuant to the provisions of this Section or by reason of any other provision in the Loan Documents. All sums paid by Agent or the other Secured Parties pursuant to this Section, and all other sums expended by Agent or the other Secured Parties to which they shall be entitled to be indemnified, together with interest thereon at the Post-Default Rate from the date of such payment or expenditure, shall constitute additions to

J - 41

the Obligations, shall be secured by the Liens created by the Loan Documents and shall be paid by Owner to Agent upon demand.

[ARTICLE X. DEED OF TRUST PROVISIONS][ARTICLE X. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

Section 10.1 Concerning the Trustee. Trustee shall be under no duty to take any action hereunder except as expressly required hereunder or by law, or to perform any act which would involve Trustee in any expense or liability or to institute or defend any suit in respect hereof, unless properly indemnified to Trustee’s reasonable satisfaction. Trustee, by acceptance of this Security Instrument, covenants to perform and fulfill the trusts herein created, being liable, however, only for gross negligence or willful misconduct, and hereby waives any statutory fee and agrees to accept reasonable compensation, in lieu thereof, for any services rendered by Trustee in accordance with the terms hereof. Trustee may resign at any time upon giving thirty (30) days’ notice to Owner and to Agent. Agent may remove Trustee at any time or from time to time and select a successor trustee. In the event of the death, removal, resignation, refusal to act, or inability to act of Trustee, or in its sole discretion for any reason whatsoever Agent may, without notice and without specifying any reason therefor and without applying to any court, select and appoint a successor trustee, by an instrument recorded wherever this Security Instrument is recorded and all powers, rights, duties and authority of Trustee, as aforesaid, shall thereupon become vested in such successor. Such substitute trustee shall not be required to give bond for the faithful performance of the duties of Trustee hereunder unless required by Agent. The procedure provided for in this paragraph for substitution of Trustee shall

J - 44

be in addition to and not in exclusion of any other provisions for substitution, by law or otherwise.

With the approval of Agent, Trustee shall have the right to take any and all of the following actions: (i) to select, employ, and advise with counsel (who may be, but need not be, counsel for Agent) upon any matters arising hereunder, including the preparation, execution, and interpretation of this Security Instrument or the Loan Documents, and shall be fully protected in relying as to legal matters on the advice of counsel, (ii) to execute any of the trusts and powers hereof and to perform any duty hereunder either directly or through his/her agents or attorneys, (iii) to select and employ, in and about the execution of his/her duties hereunder, suitable accountants, engineers and other experts, agents and attorneys-in-fact, either corporate or individual, not regularly in the employ of Trustee, and Trustee shall not be answerable for any act, default, negligence, or misconduct of any such accountant, engineer or other expert, agent or attorney-in-fact, if selected with reasonable care, or for any error of judgment or act done by Trustee in good faith, or be otherwise responsible or accountable under any circumstances whatsoever, except for Trustee’s gross negligence or bad faith, and (iv) any and all other lawful action as Agent may instruct Trustee to take to protect or enforce Agent’s rights hereunder. Trustee shall not be personally liable in case of entry by Trustee, or anyone entering by virtue of the powers herein granted to Trustee, upon the Collateral for debts contracted for or liability or damages incurred in the management or operation of the Collateral. Trustee shall have the right to rely on any instrument, document, or signature authorizing or supporting an action taken or proposed to be taken by Trustee hereunder, believed by Trustee in good faith to be genuine. Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement for actual expenses incurred by Trustee in the performance of Trustee’s duties hereunder and to reasonable compensation for such of Trustee’s services hereunder as shall be rendered.

[ARTICLE XI. GROUND LEASE PROVISIONS][ARTICLE XI. INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]

Section 11.1 No Merger of the Fee and Leasehold Estates; Releases. So long as any portion of the Obligations shall remain unpaid, unless Agent shall otherwise consent, the fee title to the Property and the Leasehold Estate shall not merge but shall always be kept separate and distinct, notwithstanding the union of such estates in Owner, Ground Lessor or in any other Person by purchase, operation of law or otherwise. Agent reserves the right, at any time, to release portions of the Collateral, including, but not limited to, the Leasehold Estate, with or without consideration, at Agent’s election, without waiving or affecting any of its rights hereunder or under the Notes or the other Loan Documents and any such release shall not affect Agent’s rights in connection with the portion of the Collateral not so released.

Section 11.2 Owner’s Acquisition of the Fee Estate. In the event that Owner, so long as any portion of the Obligations remains unpaid, shall become the owner and holder of Ground Lessor’s fee interest in the portion of the Property demised pursuant to the Ground Lease, the lien of this Security Instrument shall be spread to cover such interest and such interest shall be deemed to be included in the Collateral. Owner agrees, at its sole cost and expense, including without limitation, Agent’s reasonable attorney’s fees, to (i) execute any and all documents or instruments necessary to subject the foregoing interest to the lien of this Security Instrument; and (ii) provide a title insurance policy which shall insure that the lien of this Security Instrument is a first lien on such interest. The foregoing shall not be construed to permit Owner to acquire the aforesaid fee interest and Owner rights to acquire additional property shall remain subject to the restrictions relating thereto contained in the Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents.

Section 11.3 Rejection of the Ground Lease. (a) If the Ground Lease is terminated by Ground Lessor for any reason in the event of the rejection or disaffirmance of the Ground Lease by Ground Lessor pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or any other law affecting creditor’s rights, (i) Owner, immediately after obtaining notice thereof, shall give notice thereof to Agent, (ii) Owner, without the prior written consent of Agent, shall not elect to treat the Ground Lease as terminated pursuant to Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable federal or state statute or law, and any election by Owner made without such consent shall be void and (iii) this Security Instrument and all the liens, terms,

J - 46

covenants and conditions of this Security Instrument shall extend to and cover Owner’s possessory rights under Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code and to any claim for damages due to the rejection of the Ground Lease or other termination of the Ground Lease. In addition, Owner hereby assigns irrevocably to Agent Owner’s rights to treat the Ground Lease as terminated pursuant to Section 365(h) of the Bankruptcy Code and to offset rents under the Ground Lease in the event any case, proceeding or other action is commenced by or against Ground Lessor under the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable federal or state statute or law, provided that Agent shall not exercise such rights and shall permit Owner to exercise such rights with the prior written consent of Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless a Credit Agreement Event of Default exists.

(b) Owner hereby assigns to Agent Owner’s right to reject the Ground Lease under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable federal or state statute or law with respect to any case, proceeding or other action commenced by or against Owner under the Bankruptcy Code or comparable federal or state statute or law, provided Agent shall not exercise such right, and shall permit Owner to exercise such right with the prior written consent of Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless a Credit Agreement Event of Default exists. Further, if Owner shall desire to so reject the Ground Lease, at Agent’s request, to the extent not prohibited by the terms of the Ground Lease and applicable law, Owner shall assign its interest in the Ground Lease to Agent in lieu of rejecting the Ground Lease as described above, upon receipt by Owner of written notice from Agent of such request together with Agent’s agreement to cure any existing defaults of Owner under the Ground Lease and to provide adequate assurance of future performance of Owner’s obligations thereunder.

(c) Owner hereby assigns to Agent Owner’s right to seek an extension of the 60-day period within which Owner must accept or reject the Ground Lease under Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code or any comparable federal or state statute or law with respect to any case, proceeding or other action commenced by or against Owner under the Bankruptcy Code or comparable federal or state statute or law, provided Agent shall not exercise such right, and shall permit Owner to exercise such right with the prior written consent of Agent, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, unless a Credit Agreement Event of Default exists. Further, if Owner shall desire to so reject the Ground Lease, at Agent’s request, to the extent not prohibited by the terms of the Ground Lease and applicable law, Owner shall assign its interest in the Ground Lease to Agent in lieu of rejecting such Ground Lease as described above, upon receipt by Owner of written notice from Agent of such request together with Agent’s agreement to cure any existing defaults of Owner under the Ground Lease and to provide adequate assurance of future performance of the applicable Owner’s obligations thereunder.

(d) Owner hereby agrees that if the Ground Lease is terminated for any reason in the event of the rejection or disaffirmance of the Ground Lease pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code or any other law affecting creditor’s rights, any Personalty of Owner not removed from the Collateral by Owner as permitted or required by the Ground Lease, shall at the option of Agent be deemed abandoned by Owner, provided that Agent may remove any such Personalty required to be removed by Owner pursuant to the Ground

J - 47

Lease and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses associated with such removal shall be paid by Owner within five (5) days of receipt by Owner of an invoice for such removal costs and expenses.]

ARTICLE XII. CROSS-COLLATERALIZATION

Section 12.1 Cross-Collateralization. (a) Owner acknowledges that Agent and Lenders have agreed to make the Loans and other financial accommodations contemplated by the Credit Agreement to Borrower upon security of the collective interest of Owner, Borrower and the other Loan Parties in, among other things, the Borrowing Base Properties and in reliance upon the aggregate of the Borrowing Base Properties taken together being of greater value as collateral security than the sum of each individual Borrowing Base Property taken separately. Owner acknowledges that its Obligations are secured by this Security Instrument together with the obligations of the other Loan Parties under the other Loan Documents (collectively, the “Other Loan Party Obligations”) being secured by those Other Security Instruments (as defined below) given by Loan Parties to Agent for the benefit of Secured Parties, together with their respective Loan Documents securing or evidencing such Obligations, and encumbering the other individual Borrowing Base Properties, all as more specifically set forth in the Credit Agreement. Owner agrees that each of the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the Security Instruments) are and will be cross-collateralized and cross-defaulted with each other so that (i) a Credit Agreement Event of Default under this Security Instrument or any Other Security Instrument is a Credit Agreement Event of Default under each of this Security Instrument and the Other Security Instruments; (ii) a Credit Agreement Event of Default under any of the Loan Documents shall constitute a Credit Agreement Event of Default under each of the other Loan Documents; (iii) each Security Instrument shall constitute security for the obligations of Loan Parties under the Loan Documents to which they are parties as if a single blanket lien were placed on all of the Borrowing Base Properties as security for all such obligations; and (iv) such cross-collateralization shall in no event be deemed to constitute a fraudulent conveyance and Owner waives any claims related thereto. Upon the occurrence of a Credit Agreement Event of Default beyond any applicable notice and grace period, Agent shall have the right to institute a proceeding or proceedings for the total or partial foreclosure of this Security Instrument and any or all of the Other Security Instruments whether by court action, power of sale or otherwise, under any applicable provision of law, for all of the Obligations and/or Other Loan Party Obligations or the portion of the Obligations and/or Other Loan Party Obligations allocated to the Property in the Credit Agreement, and the lien and the security interest created by the Other Security Instruments shall continue in full force and effect without loss of priority as a lien and security interest securing the payment of that portion of the Obligations and/or Other Loan Party Obligations then due and payable but still outstanding. Owner acknowledges and agrees that the Property and the other individual Borrowing Base Properties are located in one or more cities and/or counties, and therefore Agent shall be permitted to enforce payment of the Obligations and/or Other Loan Party Obligations and the performance of any term, covenant or condition of the Notes, the Credit Agreement, this Security Instrument, the other Loan Documents or the Other Security Instruments and exercise any and all rights and remedies under the Notes, the Credit Agreement, this Security Instrument, the other Loan Documents or the Other Security Instruments, or as provided by law or at equity, by one or more proceedings, whether contemporaneous, consecutive or both, to be determined by Agent, in its sole discretion, in any

J - 48

one or more of the cities or counties in which the Property or any other Individual Property is located. Neither the acceptance of this Security Instrument, the Notes, the Credit Agreement, the other Loan Documents or the Other Security Instruments nor the enforcement thereof in any one city or county, whether by court action, foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise, shall prejudice or an any way limit or preclude enforcement by court action, foreclosure, power of sale or otherwise, of the Notes, the Credit Agreement, this Security Instrument, the other Loan Documents, or any Other Security Instruments through one or more additional proceedings in that city or county or in any other city or county. Any and all sums received by Agent or Lenders under the Notes, the Credit Agreement, this Security Instrument, and the other Loan Documents shall be applied to the Obligations and/or the Other Loan Party Obligations in such order and priority as Agent shall determine, in its sole discretion, without regard to the Appraised Value of the Property or any individual Borrowing Base Property. As used herein, the term “Other Security Instruments” shall mean all other Security Instruments (as defined in the Credit Agreement) securing any of the Other Loan Party Obligations.

(b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, Owner, for itself and its successors and assigns, waives all rights to a marshalling of the assets of Owner, Owner’s partners and others with interests in Owner, and of the Borrowing Base Properties, or to a sale in inverse order of alienation in the event of foreclosure of all or any of the Security Instruments, and agrees not to assert any right under any laws pertaining to the marshalling of assets, the sale in inverse order of alienation, homestead exemption, the administration of estates of decedents, or any other matters whatsoever to defeat, reduce or affect the right of Agent, on behalf of Secured Parties, under the Loan Documents to a sale of the Borrowing Base Properties for the collection of the Obligations and/or the Other Loan Party Obligations without any prior or different resort for collection or of the right of Agent, on behalf of Secured Parties, to the payment of the Obligations and/or the Other Loan Party Obligations out of the net proceeds of the Borrowing Base Properties in preference to every other claimant whatsoever.

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL

[LETTERHEAD OF COUNSEL TO THE LOAN PARTIES]

December 7, 2009

Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Agent

c/o Wells Fargo Real Estate Banking Group

200 Public Square - Suite 3200

Cleveland, OH 44114

The Lenders party to the Credit Agreement referred to below

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have acted as counsel to U-Store-It, L.P., a limited partnership formed under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Borrower”) and U-Store-It Trust, a real estate investment trust formed under the laws of the State of Maryland (the “Parent”), in connection with the negotiation, execution and delivery of that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of December 7, 2009 (the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Borrower, the Parent, the financial institutions party thereto and their assignees under Section 13.5. thereof (the “Lenders”), Wachovia Bank, National Association, as Agent (the “Agent”), and the other parties thereto. We have also acted as counsel to each of the Guarantors listed on Schedule 1 attached hereto (the “Guarantors”; together with the Borrower and the Parent, the “Loan Parties”), in connection with the Guaranty and the other Loan Documents identified below to which they are party. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the respective meaning given them in the Credit Agreement.

In these capacities, we have reviewed executed copies of the following:

(a) the Credit Agreement;

(b) the Notes;

(d) the Pledge Agreement;

(e) the Environmental Indemnity Agreement;

N-1

(f) the Property Management Contract Assignment;

(g) the Security Instrument(s);

(h) the Marketing Agreement Assignment;

(i) Title Escrow Instruction Letter executed by Borrower and each Property Owner;

[list other applicable Loan Documents]; and

(j) the UCC-1 financing statements naming each Loan Party a party to a Security Instrument as “Debtor” and the Agent as “Secured Party” (the “Financing Statements”).

The documents and instruments set forth in items (a) through (i) above are referred to herein as the “Loan Documents”.

In addition to the foregoing, we have reviewed the [articles or certificate of incorporation, by-laws, declaration of trust, partnership agreement and limited liability company operating agreement, as applicable,] of each Loan Party and certain resolutions of the board of trustees or directors, as applicable, of each Loan Party (collectively, the “Organizational Documents”) and have also examined originals or copies, certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of such documents, corporate records, and other instruments, and made such other investigations of law and fact, as we have deemed necessary or advisable for the purposes of rendering this opinion. In our examination of documents, we assumed the genuineness of all signatures on documents presented to us as originals (other than the signatures of officers of the Loan Parties) and the conformity to originals of documents presented to us as conformed or reproduced copies.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to all of the qualifications and assumptions set forth herein, we are of the opinion that:

1. The Borrower is a limited partnership, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has the power to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Loan Documents to which it is a party, to own and use its assets, and to conduct its business as presently conducted.

2. Each Guarantor is a [corporation, trust, partnership or limited liability company, as applicable,] duly organized or formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of its organization or formation and has the power to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, the Loan Documents to which it is a party, to own and use its assets, and to conduct its business as presently conducted.

3. Each Loan Party has duly authorized the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents to which it is a party and the performance by such Loan Party of all of its obligations under each such Loan Document.

N-2

4. Each Loan Party has duly executed and delivered the Loan Documents to which it is a party.

5. Each Loan Document is a valid and binding obligation of each Loan Party which is a party thereto, enforceable against each such Loan Party in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by: (a) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, arrangement or similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and (b) the fact that equitable remedies or relief (including, but not limited to, the remedy of specific performance) are subject to the discretion of the court before which any such remedies or relief may be sought.

6. The execution and delivery by each Loan Party of the Loan Documents to which it is a party do not, and if each Loan Party were now to perform its obligations under such Loan Documents, such performance would not, result in any:

(a) violation of such Loan Party’s Organizational Documents;

(b) violation of any existing federal or state constitution, statute, regulation, rule, order, or law to which such Loan Party or its assets are subject;

(c) breach or violation of or default under, any agreement, instrument, indenture or other document evidencing any indebtedness for money borrowed or to our knowledge any other material agreement to which such Loan Party is bound or under which a Loan Party or its assets is subject;

(d) creation or imposition of a lien or security interest in, on or against the assets of such Loan Party under any agreement, instrument, indenture or other document evidencing any indebtedness for money borrowed or any other material agreement to which, to our knowledge, such Loan Party is bound or under which a Loan Party or its assets is subject; or

(e) violation of any judicial or administrative decree, writ, judgment or order to which, to our knowledge, such Loan Party or its assets are subject.

7. The execution, delivery and performance by each Loan Party of each Loan Document to which it is a party, and the consummation of the transactions thereunder, do not and will not require any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or other action to, with or by, any Governmental Authority of the United States of America or the States of Delaware or [ ].

8. To our knowledge, (a) there are no judgments outstanding against any of the Loan Parties or affecting any of their respective assets, nor is there any litigation or other proceeding against any of the Loan Parties or its assets pending or overtly threatened, could reasonably be expected to have a materially adverse effect on the validity or enforceability of any of the Loan Documents, (b) no Loan Party is subject to any bankruptcy or other insolvency proceedings or

N-3

any assignment for the benefit of creditors and (c) no Loan Party or Borrowing Base Property is operating under or subject to any receiver, trustee or similar entity for the benefit of creditors.

9. None of the Loan Parties is, or, after giving effect to any Loan will be, subject to regulation under the Investment Company Act of 1940 or to any federal or state statute or regulation limiting its ability to incur indebtedness for borrowed money.

10. Assuming that Borrower applies the proceeds of the Loans as provided in the Credit Agreement, the transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents do not violate the provisions of Regulations T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of the United States of America.

11. The consideration to be paid to the Agent and the Lenders for the financial accommodations to be provided to the Loan Parties pursuant to the Credit Agreement does not violate any law of the States of North Carolina or [ ] relating to interest and usury.

12. The Pledge Agreement creates a valid security interest in favor of the Agent in all of the Pledged Collateral (as defined in the Pledge Agreement) in which a security interest may be created under Article 9 of the UCC.

13. [Upon filing the Financing Statements in the Office of the Secretary of State of the State of [ ] and the payment of all applicable filing fees, the security interest of the Agent in the Pledged Collateral granted under the Pledge Agreement will be perfected.] [Upon delivery to the Agent of the certificates representing the “Pledged Interests” pledged pursuant to the Pledge Agreement (the “Pledged Equity Interests”), together with stock powers endorsed in blank, the security interest of the Agent in the Pledged Equity Interests will be perfected.]

14. [The Security Instrument is in a form sufficient to create a lien on all right and interest of each Loan Party a party to such Security Instrument in the “Collateral” described therein and is in a form sufficient to be deemed a “fixture filing” pursuant to the laws of the State of [ ]. Such Security Instrument creates in favor of the Agent, as security for all obligations of each Loan Party a party to such Security Instrument purported to be secured thereby, a perfected security interest in such real and personal property and fixtures described therein as collateral.

15. Upon filing the Financing Statement in the [Recorder’s Office of the County of [ ] of the State of [ ] and the payment of all applicable filing fees, the security interest of the Agent in the personal property and fixtures described in the [Security Instrument] granted by the Borrower under such Security Instrument will be perfected.

16. No transfer, mortgage, intangible, documentary stamp or similar taxes are payable by the Agent or the Lenders to the State of [ ] or any political subdivision thereof in connection with (a) the execution and delivery of the Loan Documents, (b) the creation of the Obligations evidenced by any of the Loan Documents, (c) the perfection of the Lender’s Lien in
