Borrower shall deliver to Agent a Notice of Borrowing not later than 10:00 A.M. at least one (1) Business Day prior to the date such Advance is to be made, in the case of a Base Rate Advance, and at least three (3) LIBOR Business Days prior to the date such Advance is to be made, in the case of a LIBOR Advance. Each Notice of 21 Borrowing shall specify whether the Advance being requested is a Term Loan Advance or a Revolving Loan Advance, and the purpose for which such Advance will be used. Each Notice of Borrowing requesting a Revolving Loan Advance shall include (i) a spreadsheet detailing (A) a breakdown of the amounts of such requested Revolving Loan Advance which will be used for each Property, (B) the amount of Revolving Loan Advances which have theretofore been made with respect to each Property, and (C) the sum of items (A) and (B), and (ii) such other supporting documentation as Agent may reasonably request. Prior to delivering a Notice of Borrowing, Borrower may (without specifying whether the Advance shall be a Base Rate Advance or a LIBOR Advance) request that Agent provide Borrower with the most recent LIBOR Rate available to Agent. Agent shall endeavor to provide such quoted rate to Borrower and to Lenders on the date of such request. (b) Funding. (i) Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing under Section 2.2(a), Agent shall send a copy thereof to each Lender by telex or telecopy, or other similar form of transmission. Each Lender shall deposit an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Advance requested by Borrower with Agent at its Lending Office, in immediately available funds not later than 10:00 A.M. on the date such Advance is to be made. Upon fulfillment of all applicable conditions set forth herein, Agent shall make available to Borrower at Agent's Lending Office, not later than 2:00 P.M. on the date of each Advance, the proceeds of such amounts received by Agent. The failure of any Lender to deposit the amount described above with Agent shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder to make its Pro Rata Share of the Advance. (ii) Unless Agent shall have been notified by any Lender that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender's Pro Rata Share of a proposed Advance, Agent may in its discretion assume that such Lender has made such Advance available to Agent in accordance with this Section 2.2(b) and Agent may, if it chooses, in reliance upon such assumption, make such Advance available to Borrower. If and to the extent such Lender shall not so make its Pro Rata Share of the proposed Advance available to Agent, such Lender and Borrower severally agree to pay or repay to Agent within two (2) days after demand the amount of such Advance together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such Advance is made available to Borrower until the date such amount is paid or repaid to Agent at (A) in the case of Borrower, the interest rate applicable at the time to other Lenders' Advances made on the date of such Advance, (B) in the case of such Lender, the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall pay to Agent such amount, such amounts so repaid shall constitute such Lender's Advance for purposes of this Agreement. If such Lender shall fail to pay such amount to Agent and Borrower repays such amount to Agent, Borrower shall be entitled to pursue any remedies it might have against such Lender under this Agreement or at law or in equity for failure to make such Advance. (c) Selection of Interest Period. Upon delivering a Notice of Borrowing under Section 2.2(a) hereof, Borrower shall advise Agent as to whether the Advance shall be (i) a LIBOR Advance, in which case Borrower shall specify the applicable Interest Period therefor, or (ii) a Base Rate Advance. Prior to 2:00 P.M. at least three (3) LIBOR Business Days prior to the expiration of each Interest Period with respect to a LIBOR Advance, Borrower shall give Agent notice (a "Rate Selection Notice"), specifying whether such Advance shall, on the last day of such Interest Period, be continued as a LIBOR Advance or converted to a Base Rate Advance. 22 With respect to any Base Rate Advance, Borrower shall have the right, on any LIBOR Business Day, as the case may be ("Conversion Date"), to convert such Base Rate Advance to a LIBOR Advance, by giving Agent a Rate Selection Notice of such selection at least three (3) LIBOR Business Days prior to such Conversion Date. Each Rate Selection Notice shall either be in writing or by telephone immediately followed by written notice. If any Rate Selection Notice shall specify that said Advance shall be a LIBOR Advance, such Rate Selection Notice shall also specify the length of the succeeding Interest Period selected by Borrower with respect to such Advance. If a Rate Selection Notice shall not have been timely received by Agent in respect of a LIBOR Advance prior to the expiration of the then-relevant Interest Period for such LIBOR Advance, then Borrower shall be deemed to have elected to continue such Advance as a LIBOR Advance, with an Interest Period of thirty (30) days. Promptly after receipt of a Rate Selection Notice under this Section 2.2(c), Agent shall send a copy thereof to each Lender by telex or telecopy, or similar form of transmission. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) no more than eight (8) Interest Periods shall be in effect at any one time with respect to LIBOR Advances; (ii) Borrower shall have no right to select an Interest Period of longer than one (1) month if at the time of such LIBOR Advance, to the extent Borrower is then permitted to request LIBOR Advances, if there exists any Default hereunder; (iii) Borrower shall have no right to request an Interest Period (A) that extends beyond a date on which a quarterly principal payment on the Loan is due unless, giving effect to such Interest Period, the aggregate amount of LIBOR Advances having Interest Periods ending after such date is not greater than the maximum principal amount of the Loan permitted to be outstanding after such date, or (B) that extends beyond the Maturity Date; and (iv) Borrower shall have no right to request a LIBOR Advance if (A) there then exists any (1) Event of Default; (2) Default under Sections 6.1(a), 6.1(g) or 6.1(h) hereof, (3) other Default as to which Agent has given Borrower notice, or (B) the interest rate applicable thereto under Section 2.4 would exceed the Maximum Rate in effect on the first day of the Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Advance. Each Notice of Borrowing and each Rate Selection Notice shall be considered delivered only upon actual receipt thereof by the Agent, shall be irrevocable and binding on Borrower and, in respect of any LIBOR Advance specified in such Notice of Borrowing or Rate Selection Notice, Borrower shall indemnify Agent and each Lender against any Consequential Loss incurred by Agent and each Lender as a result of (i) any failure to fulfill, on or before the date specified for such Advance, the conditions to such Advance set forth herein, or (ii) Borrower's requesting that an Advance not be made, continued or converted on the date specified for such Advance in the Notice of Borrowing or Rate Selection Notice. A certificate of Agent and each Lender establishing the amount due from Borrower according to the preceding sentence, together with a description in reasonable detail of the manner in which such amount has been calculated, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. SECTION 2.3 Notes. Each Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Term Loan shall be evidenced by a Term Note payable to the order of such Lender in the principal face amount equal to such Lender's Term Commitment. Each Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Loan shall 23 be evidenced by a Revolving Note payable to the order of such Lender in the principal face amount equal to such Lender's Revolving Commitment. SECTION 2.4 Interest Rate. (a) All Advances. The unpaid principal of each Base Rate Advance shall bear interest from the date of such Advance to but not including the date such Advance is either converted pursuant to Section 2.2(c) or is repaid in full at a rate per annum that shall from day to day be equal to the lesser of (i) the Base Rate in effect from day to day, or (ii) the Maximum Rate. The unpaid principal of each LIBOR Advance shall bear interest from the date of such Advance to but not including the date such Advance is either converted pursuant to Section 2.2(c) or is repaid in full at a rate per annum that shall be equal to the lesser of (i) the LIBOR Rate for the then applicable Interest Period plus the Applicable LIBOR Rate Margin, or (ii) the Maximum Rate. Each change in the Applicable LIBOR Rate Margin shall become effective on the forty-fifth (45th) day after the end of the relevant fiscal quarter. (b) Default Rate. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, all principal of, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest on the Obligations shall bear interest until paid at the lesser of (i) the Base Rate from time to time in effect plus two percent (2%), or (ii) the Maximum Rate. Such lesser rate is referred to herein and in the Loan Documents as the "Default Rate." (c) Late Fee. Borrower acknowledges that late payment to Agent will cause Agent and Lenders to incur costs not contemplated by this Agreement, including, but not limited to, processing and accounting charges. Accordingly, in the event Borrower fails to make any payment hereunder within fifteen (15) days after the date such payment is due and payable, Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, as liquidated damages for the purpose of defraying the expense incident to handling such delinquent payment and not as a penalty, a late charge equal to three percent (3%) of the amount of such payment, whether such payment is of principal, interest, fees, expenses or other amounts due hereunder or under the Loan Documents; provided, however, that in the event that (i) Borrower has not been invoiced for any payment hereunder (other than principal payments) within fifteen (15) days after the date such payment was due, and (ii) Borrower requested in writing such invoice from Agent not later than ten (10) days after the date such payment was due, Borrower shall not be required to pay such late fee unless such payment remains unpaid fifteen (15) days after Borrower's receipt of such invoice. Borrower and Agent agree that this late charge represents a reasonable sum considering all of the circumstances existing on the date hereof and represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs that Agent and Lenders will incur by reason of late payment. Borrower and Agent further agree that proof of actual damages would be costly and inconvenient. Acceptance of any late charge shall not constitute a waiver of the default with respect to the overdue installment (except to the extent payment of such late charge is accompanied by payment of the Obligations in full), and shall not prevent Agent from exercising any of the other rights available hereunder or any other Loan Document. Such late charge shall be paid without prejudice to any other rights of Agent. Payment of any late charge hereunder may be waived upon the consent of the Majority Lenders. 24 (d) Recapture Rate. If the applicable interest rate ever exceeds the Maximum Rate thereby causing the interest charged on the Obligations to be limited to the Maximum Rate, then, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, any subsequent reductions in the applicable interest rate shall not reduce the rate of interest charged hereunder below the Maximum Rate until the total amount of interest accrued on the Obligations equals the amount of interest that would have accrued thereon if the applicable contract rate had at all times been in effect. SECTION 2.5 Special Provisions for LIBOR Advances. (a) Inadequacy of LIBOR Pricing. If with respect to an Interest Period for any LIBOR Advance, Agent reasonably determines that, by reason of circumstances occurring subsequent to the date hereof affecting the interbank eurodollar market generally, either deposits in United States Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to Wells Fargo Bank in the interbank eurodollar market for such Interest Period or that quotes of the LIBOR Rate are not generally available, then Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to Borrower and Lenders, whereupon until Agent notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, (A) the obligation of Lenders to make LIBOR Advances shall be suspended, and (B) Borrower shall either (x) repay in full the then-outstanding principal amount of the LIBOR Advances, together with accrued interest thereon on the last day of the then-current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Advances, or (y) convert such LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances in accordance with Section 2.2(c) of this Agreement on the last day of the then-current Interest Period applicable to each such LIBOR Advance. (b) Illegality of LIBOR Advances. If, after the date of this Agreement, the adoption of any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for any Lender to make, maintain or fund its LIBOR Advances, such Lender shall forthwith give notice thereof to Agent and Borrower. Before giving any notice pursuant to this Section 2.5(b) such Lender shall designate a different LIBOR lending office if such designation will avoid the need for giving such notice and will not be otherwise disadvantageous to such Lender (as determined in good faith by such Lender). Upon receipt of such notice, Borrower shall either (i) repay in full the then outstanding principal amount of any of such Lender's LIBOR Advances, together with accrued interest thereon, or (ii) convert such Lender's LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances, on either (A) the last day of the then-current Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Advance if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain and fund such LIBOR Advance to such day or (B) immediately if such Lender may not lawfully continue to fund and maintain such LIBOR Advance to such day. (c) Increased Costs. If, after the date hereof, any Governmental Authority, central bank or other comparable authority, shall at any time impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve (including, without limitation, the LIBOR Reserve Requirement and any other reserve 25 imposed by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender, or shall impose on any Lender (or its eurodollar lending office) or the interbank eurodollar market any other condition affecting its LIBOR Advances, any of such Lender's Notes or its obligation to make LIBOR Advances; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining its LIBOR Advances, or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender under this Agreement, or under any of such Lender's Notes, by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then, within five (5) days after demand by such Lender, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for such increased cost or reduction with respect to such Lender's Notes or its obligation to make or maintain LIBOR Advances. Such Lender will use good faith and reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for such Lender's LIBOR Advances if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole opinion of such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender. A certificate of such Lender claiming compensation under this Section 2.5(c) and setting forth in reasonable detail the calculation of the additional amount or amounts to be paid to it hereunder shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. If such Lender demands compensation under this Section 2.5(c) in respect of its LIBOR Advances, then Borrower may at any time, upon at least five (5) Business Days' prior notice to such Lender, either (i) repay in full such Lender's then outstanding LIBOR Advances, together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment or (ii) convert such Lender's LIBOR Advances to Base Rate Advances in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that Borrower shall be liable for any Consequential Loss arising pursuant to such actions, unless the requirement or condition giving rise to the incurred costs is not generally applicable to lenders similar to the affected Lender, but rather is applicable solely to such Lender. (d) Effect on Base Rate Advances. If notice has been given pursuant to Section 2.5(a) or Section 2.5(b) requiring LIBOR Advances of a Lender to be repaid or converted, then unless and until Agent notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such repayment no longer apply, all Advances shall be Base Rate Advances. If Agent notifies Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such repayment no longer apply, Borrower may thereafter select Advances from such Lender to be LIBOR Advances in accordance with Section 2.2(c) of this Agreement. (e) Payments Not At End of Interest Period. If Borrower makes any payment of principal with respect to any LIBOR Advance on any day other than the last day of an Interest Period applicable to such LIBOR Advance (other than any such payment required by Section 2.5(b)(ii)(B) hereof), then Borrower shall reimburse Lenders on demand the Consequential Loss incurred by Lenders as a result of the timing of such payment. A certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the basis for the determination of the amount of Consequential Loss shall be delivered to Borrower by Agent and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding. Any conversion of a LIBOR Advance to a Base Rate Advance on any day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such LIBOR Advance shall be deemed a payment for purposes of this Section 2.5(e). 26 (f) Notice of Claim for Compensation. Each Lender shall notify Borrower and the Agent of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement entitling such Lender to compensation under Section 2.5(c) within 45 days after such Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof; provided that if any Lender fails to give such notice to Borrower within 45 days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Lender shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to such subsection (c) in respect of any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment under subsection (c) for costs incurred from and after the date 45 days prior to the date that such Lender gives such notice. SECTION 2.6 Payments. (a) Payment of Interest. Interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Advance shall be payable monthly as it accrues on the first day of each month, commencing with the first such day occurring after the date of the initial Advance, and thereafter until the Loan is paid in full. (b) Payment of Principal of Loan. The Loan shall be due and payable in full on the Maturity Date. (c) Mandatory Payment of Principal During Extension Terms. (i) If the Maturity Date is extended to January 31, 2004 pursuant to Section 2.10, Borrower shall make quarterly payments of principal in the amount of $6,250,000.00 each, with the first such payment due on February 1, 2003, and the subsequent payments due on May 1, 2003, August 1, 2003, and November 1, 2003; (ii) If the Maturity Date is extended to January 31, 2005 pursuant to Section 2.10, Borrower shall make quarterly payments of principal in the amount of $6,250,000.00 each, with the first such payment due on February 1, 2004, and the subsequent payments due on May 1, 2004, August 1, 2004, and November 1, 2004; (iii) If the Maturity Date is extended to January 31, 2006 pursuant to Section 2.10, Borrower shall make quarterly payments of principal in the amount of $18,750,000.00 each, with the first such payment due on February 1, 2005, and the subsequent payments due May 1, 2005, August 1, 2005, and November 1, 2005; The quarterly principal payments required under this Section 2.6 shall be applied first to the Term Notes, and when the Term Notes have been repaid in full, shall be applied to the Revolving Notes. (d) Optional Prepayments. Borrower may, upon at least one (1) Business Day's notice to Agent, prepay the Loan in whole at any time, or from time to time in part in an amount equal to $500,000.00 or any greater amount which would reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loan to a multiple of $500,000.00, by paying the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment; provided, however, that if 27 Borrower shall prepay the principal of any LIBOR Advance on any date other than the last day of the Interest Period applicable thereto, Borrower shall simultaneously therewith make the payments required by Section 2.5(e) hereof. Any optional prepayment shall be accompanied by a notice specifying whether such prepayment is to be applied to the Term Notes or to the Revolving Notes, and, if such notice is not given, such prepayment shall be applied first to the Term Notes. No optional prepayment shall reduce any quarterly principal payments due under Section 2.6(c) above. (e) Mandatory Prepayments. In the event the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan Advances made by any Lender exceeds such Lender's Term Loan Commitment, Borrower shall, within two (2) days after demand therefor, pay to Agent for the benefit of such Lender, the amount by which such Term Loan Advances exceeds such Lender's Term Loan Commitment. In the event the sum of the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Loan Advances made by any Lender exceeds such Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment, Borrower shall, within two (2) days after demand therefor, pay to Agent for the benefit of such Lender, the amount by which such Revolving Loan Advances exceeds such Lender's Revolving Loan Commitment. (f) General Provisions as to Payments. Borrower shall make each payment of principal of, and interest on, the Loan or fees payable hereunder, not later than 11:00 A.M. on the date when due, without offset, deduction or counterclaim, in Federal or other funds immediately available, at Agent's Lending Office. Whenever any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loan or fees (if any) shall be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day. If the date for any payment of principal is extended by operation of law or otherwise, interest thereon shall be payable for such extended time. (g) Application of Recoveries. Except to the extent otherwise provided in Section 7.13 hereof, all payments made and actually received by the Agent in respect of the Loan shall be applied in the following order of priority: (i) to the reimbursement of any reasonable costs incurred by the Agent to administer, enforce, collect or deal with the Loan (including payments made pursuant to Section 7.11 or Section 7.12 hereof) (or to reimbursement of the Lenders to the extent such costs have been paid by the Lenders) (based on Pro Rata Shares thereof); (ii) to the payment of all interest (including default interest) due and payable on the Notes (based on Pro Rata Shares thereof); (iii) to the payment of fees payable under the Loan Documents (based on Pro Rata Shares thereof); and (iv) to the payment of principal of the Term Notes (based on Pro Rata Shares thereof); and 28 (v) to the payment of the Revolving Notes (based on Pro Rata Shares thereof); provided however, optional prepayments may, at Borrower's election, be applied to the Revolving Notes rather than the Term Notes, as provided in Section 2.6(d). Agent shall wire transfer to each Lender, at such Lender's bank account as designated by such Lender to Agent in writing, its Pro Rata Share of any payments (to the extent payable to Lender pursuant to this Section 2.6(g)) within one (1) Business Day of Agent's receipt of such payment. Agent shall pay to the Lenders interest thereon, at the Federal Funds Rate, from the Business Day following receipt of such funds by Agent until such funds are paid in immediately available funds to the Lender. The Agent shall in any event not be bound to inquire into or determine the validity, scope or priority of any interest or entitlement of any Lender and may suspend all payments and seek appropriate relief (including, without limitation, instructions from the Majority Lenders or all Lenders, as applicable, or an action in the nature of interpleader) in the event of any doubt or dispute as to any apportionment or distribution contemplated hereby. In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct, the Agent shall not be liable for any apportionment or distribution of payments made by it in good faith pursuant to this Section 2.6(g), and if any such apportionment or distribution is subsequently determined to have been made in error, the sole recourse of any person to whom payment was due, but not made, shall be to recover from the recipients of such payments any payment in excess of the amount to which they are determined to have been entitled. (h) Excess Payments. If any Lender shall obtain any payment (whether voluntary, involuntary, through the exercise of any right of set-off or otherwise) on account of its interest in the Loan in excess of its Pro Rata Share in the Loan, then such Lender shall forward such excess payment to Agent and Agent shall distribute to each Lender its Pro Rata Share of such excess payment; provided, however, that if all or any portion of such excess payment is thereafter recovered by the Borrower or other party entitled thereto through legal action or otherwise, each Lender shall reimburse the party returning such excess payment in an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the excess payment. SECTION 2.7 Fees. (a) Facility Fee. Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, a Facility Fee for each calendar quarter, or portion thereof, during which any of the Total Commitments are in effect, during the period commencing on the date hereof and continuing to the Maturity Date equal to the average daily Total Commitments during such quarter times fifteen one-hundredths percent (0.15%) (i.e. fifteen (15) basis points) per annum. Such Facility Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears, and shall be payable on the date which is forty-five (45) days after the end of the applicable calendar quarter; provided however, the final Facility Fee shall be due and payable on the Maturity Date. By way of illustration, the Facility Fee for the calendar quarter ending on March 31 shall be due and payable on May 15. Borrower acknowledges that the Facility Fees payable hereunder are bona fide commitment fees and are intended as reasonable compensation to Lenders for committing to make funds available to 29 Borrower as described herein and for no other purposes. For purposes of this Section 2.7(a), the Total Commitments shall mean aggregate amount of the Total Commitments (i.e. $212,000,000.00), minus any permanent reductions in the Revolving Commitments pursuant to the last sentence of Section 2.1(b), minus any principal repayments which may not be reborrowed. (b) Extension Fee. If the Maturity Date is extended pursuant to Section 2.10, Borrower agrees to pay to Agent, for the benefit of the Lenders, an extension fee equal to one quarter percent (0.25%) of the aggregate amount of (i) the Term Commitments, plus (ii) the Revolving Commitments at such time, after giving effect to the principal payment required to be made on the first day of such Extension Term pursuant to Section 2.6(c), so long as such principal payment is made on the Maturity Date being extended. Such fee shall be payable on or before the Maturity Date being extended. (c) Other Fees. Borrower shall pay Agent such fees as are provided for in any separate fee agreement between Agent and Borrower. SECTION 2.8 Computation of Interest and Fees. Fees and interest on the Loan shall be computed on the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed (including the first day but excluding the last day). SECTION 2.9 Option to Replace Lenders. If any Lender, other than Agent, shall: (a) become a Defaulting Lender; (b) become subject to the provisions of Section 2.5(b); or (c) make any demand for payment or reimbursement pursuant to Section 2.5(c) or Section 8.7 hereof; then, in any of the foregoing cases, provided that (x) there does not then exist any Default or Event of Default and (y) in the case of the circumstances described in clauses (b) and (c), the circumstances resulting in such demand for payment or reimbursement under Section 2.5(c) or Section 8.7 or the applicability of Section 2.5(b) are not applicable to all Lenders, the Borrower may either (i) designate another financial institution (such financial institution being herein called a "Replacement Lender") acceptable to the Agent (which acceptance will not be unreasonably withheld) and which is not an Affiliate of the Borrower, to assume such Lender's Total Commitment hereunder and to purchase the Loan of such Lender and such Lender's rights under this Agreement and the Notes held by such Lender, all without recourse to or representation or warranty (except as to title of such Lender's portion of the Loan and as to the authority of such Lender to transfer the same) by, or expense to, such Lender, for a purchase price equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan payable to such Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest on such Loan and accrued but unpaid fees owing to such Lender plus any amounts payable to such Lender under Section 2.5(c) or Section 8.7, if any, hereof, and upon such assumption, purchase and substitution, and subject to the execution and delivery to the 30 Agent by the Replacement Lender of documentation reasonably satisfactory to the Agent (pursuant to which such Replacement Lender shall assume the obligations of such original Lender under this Agreement), the Replacement Lender shall succeed to the rights and obligations of such Lender hereunder or (ii) pay to such Lender the outstanding principal amount of the Advances payable to such Lender plus any accrued but unpaid interest on such Advances and accrued but unpaid fees owing to such Lender plus any amounts payable to such Lender under Section 2.5(c) or Section 8.7 hereof. In the event that the Borrower exercises its rights under the preceding sentence, the Lender against which such rights were exercised shall no longer be a party hereto or have any rights or obligations hereunder. The remedies of Borrower under this Section 2.9 shall be cumulative of any other remedies Borrower may have against a Defaulting Lender under this Agreement or at law or in equity. SECTION 2.10 Extension of Maturity Date. Borrower may extend the current Maturity Date by up to three (3) successive one-year intervals (each an "Extension Term") by executing and delivering to Agent at least forty-five (45) days but no more than one hundred twenty (120) days prior to the current Maturity Date, a written notice in the form of Exhibit E (an "Extension Notice"), each such extension being subject to satisfaction of the following: (a) Payment by Borrower at the Maturity Date to be extended of an extension fee pursuant to Section 2.7 hereof; (b) The outstanding principal balance of the Loan (not taking into account the principal repayment required to be made pursuant to Section 2.6(c) below on the first day of the Extension Term being exercised, so long as such payment is made on the Maturity Date being extended) does not exceed the following amounts on the first day of the applicable Extension Term: Extension Term Maximum Outstanding Principal Balance -------------- ------------------------------------- First Extension Term $212,000,000.00 Second Extension Term $187,000,000.00 Third Extension Term $162,000,000.00 (c) Payment at the Maturity Date to be extended of the first quarterly installment of principal as required by Section 2.6(c); (d) The delivery by Borrower to Agent of an extension agreement and such other documentation as Agent may reasonably require in connection therewith, all of which shall be in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent; (e) The delivery by Borrower to Agent of written consent to such extension from all Guarantors; (f) At the time of such notice and extension, there shall exist no Event of Default hereunder or under any other Loan Documents; 31 (g) Borrower shall deliver to Agent an opinion of counsel in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Agent, stating that, inter alia, the Loan Documents create valid and binding obligations of the Borrower and all Guarantors, and the transactions evidenced thereby violate no provisions of Applicable Law; (h) The delivery by Borrower to Agent of all financial information reasonably requested by Agent; and (i) Borrower shall pay, at its sole cost and expense, all costs incurred by Agent and Lenders in connection with such extension, including reasonable legal fees and such other professional services which Agent in good faith determines at the time such extension is requested are necessary to satisfy any Legal Requirement. The payment by Borrower of these costs and expenses shall not be credited, in any way or to any extent, against any portion of the outstanding balance of the Loan. Notwithstanding Borrower's right to extend the Maturity Date of the Loan as set forth hereinabove, Borrower hereby agrees that Agent and Lenders shall have no commitment or obligation to extend the Maturity Date beyond January 31, 2006. Agent shall forward to each Lender a copy of each Extension Notice delivered to Agent promptly upon receipt thereof. SECTION 2.11 Amount Limitations Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, at no time may the aggregate principal amount of all Term Loan Advances exceed the aggregate amount of the Term Commitments (i.e., $106,725,000.00), nor may the aggregate principal amount of all outstanding Revolving Loan Advances exceed the aggregate amount of the Revolving Commitments ($105,275,000.00). ARTICLE 3. CONDITIONS SECTION 3.1 Effectiveness.

Lenders hereby agree that Borrower may cure any Default resulting from (a) failure of Borrower or any Property Owner to keep the Properties in the condition required under Section 5.3 hereof; (b) failure of Borrower or any Property Owner to pay Impositions in the manner required under Section 5.5 hereof; (c) failure of Borrower or any Property Owner to comply with Legal Requirements applicable to the Properties as required under Section 5.6 hereof; (d) the existence of any Lien on any of the Properties not permitted by Section 5.17 hereof; or (e) any representation, warranty or statement made by any Property Owner in, under or pursuant to the Loan Documents becoming false or misleading in any material respect; and which relate solely to any Property, by (i) giving Agent written notice within the applicable notice and cure period that the Property to which such Default relates shall be removed from the list of Properties hereunder, and (ii) paying to Agent, concurrently with the giving of such notice, an amount equal to the sum of (A) the amount shown in Column I on Schedule 6.3 with respect to such Property, plus (B) the amount, if any, by which the outstanding Advances (after application of the payment required under this Section 6.3) exceeds the Total Commitments, after reduction of the Term Commitments and the 54 Revolving Commitments as set forth in the following sentence. Concurrently with the removal of the Property and the application of the payment required under this Section 6.3, the Term Commitments shall be reduced by the amount shown in Column I on Schedule 6.3 with respect to the Property being removed and the Revolving Commitments shall be reduced by the amount shown in Column II on Schedule 6.3 with respect to the Property being removed. Any payment under this Section 6.3 shall be applied first to the Term Notes, and when the Term Notes have been repaid in full, shall be applied to the Revolving Notes. No such payment shall reduce any quarterly payments due under Section 2.6(c) above. Upon any such removal of a Property, the owner of such Property shall thereafter not be considered a Property Owner for purposes of this Agreement, unless such owner is also the owner of another Property; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Property Owner which has executed a Guaranty shall continue to be a Guarantor, and its obligations under its Guaranty shall not be affected by its removal from the list of Property Owners. SECTION 6.4 Permitted Deficiencies. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, (a) failure of Borrower or any Property Owner to keep the Properties in the condition required under Section 5.3 hereof; (b) failure of Borrower or any Property Owner to pay Impositions in the manner required under Section 5.5 hereof; (c) failure of Borrower or any Property Owner to comply with Legal Requirements applicable to the Properties as required under Section 5.6 hereof; (d) the existence of any Lien on any of the Properties not permitted by Section 5.17 hereof, shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default hereunder, so long as the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the sum (without duplication) of (A) the cost of correcting all failures described in (a) through (c) above, as determined by Agent in its reasonable discretion, plus (B) the amount secured by Liens described in (d) above does not exceed, in the aggregate at any one time, $10,000,000.00; (ii) Such failure or Lien does not constitute a Default or Event of Default under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents except to the extent described in clauses (a) through (d) above; and (iii) Borrower is proceeding to cure all such failures or Liens in a diligent manner. SECTION 6.5 Transfer or Refinancing of Properties. (a)(i) In the event (A) Towne Mall, Midland Mall, Columbia Mall, East Towne Mall and/or West Towne Mall are transferred as permitted by Sections 5.9 and 5.22, or (B) a Property is transferred in accordance with Sections 5.3 or 5.5(b) of the Master Contribution Agreement, or (C) Borrower otherwise transfers, sells or conveys a Property to a third party, or (D) Borrower refinances a Property, Borrower shall give Agent written notice thereof not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date of such transfer or refinancing, and concurrently with such transfer (but not such refinancing) shall pay to Agent the amount shown in Column I on Schedule 6.5 with respect to such Property (which amount shall be applied to the Term Notes), plus the amount, if any, by which the outstanding Advances (after application of the payment required under this Section 6.5(a)) 55 exceeds the Total Commitments, after reduction of the Term Commitments and Revolving Commitments as set forth in the following sentence (which amount shall be applied to the Revolving Notes). Concurrently with the application of the payment required in connection with such transfer (but not refinancing) under this Section 6.5(a), the Term Commitments shall be reduced by the amount shown in Column I on Schedule 6.5 with respect to the Property being transferred and the Revolving Commitments shall be reduced by the amount shown in Column II on Schedule 6.5 with respect to the Property being transferred. (ii) With respect to any refinancings: (A) where there are net proceeds, all of the net proceeds (up to the outstanding balance of the Revolving Notes) shall be paid to Agent and applied to the Revolving Notes, and Borrower shall be permitted to use any excess after the amount of the outstanding Revolving Notes are repaid in full in any manner that Agent consents to, and, if Agent does not consent to such use, said excess shall be paid to Agent and applied to the Term Notes; and (B) where there are no net proceeds after payment of the debt being refinanced and closing costs, or where all of the net proceeds of such refinancing are used to repay Indebtedness secured by other Properties, then there shall be no payments required hereunder, except as provided in Section 6.5(a)(iii) below (for the avoidance of doubt, except as provided in Section 6.5(a)(iii) below, any payments shall only be made to the extent of net proceeds from such refinancings, taking into account proceeds used to pay down Indebtedness secured by other Properties). (iii) No payment under this Section 6.5(a) shall reduce any quarterly payments due under Section 2.6(c) above. Upon any such transfer (but not refinancing) of a Property, such Property shall no longer be considered a Property for purposes of this Agreement, and the owner of such Property shall thereafter not be considered a Property Owner for purposes of this Agreement unless such owner is also the owner of another Property. Further, upon any such transfer or refinancing, so long as no Default or Event of Default is then in existence, Agent and the Lenders shall, at Borrower's request, release the applicable Property Owner from any Guaranty to which it is a party (so long as such Property Owner is not also the owner of another Property); provided, however, in the case of the refinancing Borrower may only request such release of the Property Owner from its Guaranty if (A) the lender providing the replacement financing requires such release (Borrower agreeing to use its reasonable efforts to have any such lender permit such Guaranty to remain in effect), and (B) the Total Commitments are reduced (by virtue of any combination, at Borrower's option, of repayment of the Term Loan [with the Term Commitments being reduced by the amount of such payment] and/or permanent reduction in the Revolving Commitments) in an amount equal to the sum of the amounts in Column I and Column II on Schedule 6.3 with respect to the Property owned by such Property Owner; provided, however, if after any such reduction in the Revolving Commitments the amount of outstanding Advances exceeds the Total Commitments, Borrower shall pay the amount of such excess to Agent, which payment shall be applied to the Revolving Notes. (b) In the event Borrower obtains financing secured by Randolph Mall or Towne Mall, Borrower shall give Agent written notice thereof not less than thirty (30) days prior to the date such financing is consummated, and concurrently with such financing shall pay to Agent the amount shown in Column I on Schedule 6.5 (or, in the case of a financing where the net proceeds 56 of such financing are used to repay Indebtedness secured by other Properties, the amount shown in Column I on Schedule 6.3) with respect to such Property. Any payment under this Section 6.5(b) shall be applied to the Revolving Notes and Borrower shall be permitted to use any excess after the amount of the outstanding Revolving Notes are repaid in full in any manner that Agent consents to and, if Agent does not consent to such use, said excess shall be paid to the Agent and applied to the Term Notes. No payment under this Section 6.5(b) shall reduce any quarterly payments due under Section 2.6(c) above. Upon any such financing of Randolph Mall or Towne Mall, and so long as no Default or Event of Default is then in existence, Agent and the Lenders shall, at Borrower's request, release the applicable Property Owner from any Guaranty to which it is a party; provided, however, Borrower may only request such release of the Owner from its Guaranty if (i) the lender providing the financing requires such release (Borrower agreeing to use its reasonable efforts to have any such lender permit such Guaranty to remain in effect) and (ii) the Total Commitments are reduced (by virtue of any combination, at Borrower's option, of repayment of the Term Loan [with the Term Commitments being reduced by the amount of any such payment] and/or permanent reduction of the Revolving Commitments) in an amount equal to (x) $6,890,000.00, with respect to Randolph Mall, or (y) $2,825,000.00, with respect to Towne Mall; provided, however, if after any such reduction in the Revolving Commitments the amount of outstanding Advances exceeds the Total Commitments, Borrower shall pay the amount of such excess to Agent, which payment shall be applied to the Revolving Notes. ARTICLE 7. THE AGENT SECTION 7.1 Appointment and Authorization. Each Lender irrevocably appoints and authorizes Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are granted to Agent by the terms thereof, together with all such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. Borrower shall be entitled to rely upon a written notice or written response from Agent as being made pursuant to the requisite concurrence or consent of the Lenders necessary to take such action without investigation or otherwise contacting the Lenders hereunder. SECTION 7.2 Agent and Affiliates. Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may exercise or refrain from exercising the same as though it were not Agent, and Agent and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with Borrower or Affiliate of Borrower as if it were not Agent hereunder. SECTION 7.3 Action by Agent. The Agent (which term as used in this sentence and in Section 7.7 hereof and the first sentence of Section 7.8 hereof shall include reference to its Affiliates and its own and its Affiliates' shareholders, officers, directors, employees and agents): (a) shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement, and shall not by reason of this Agreement be a trustee for any Lender; (b) shall not be responsible to the Lenders for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained in this 57 Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or in any certificate or other instrument, document or agreement referred to or provided for in, or received by any of them under, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or for the value, validity, effectiveness, genuineness, enforceability or sufficiency of this Agreement, any Note or any of the other Loan Documents or for any failure by Borrower or any other Person to perform any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder; (c) subject to Section 7.6 hereof, shall not be required to initiate or conduct any litigation or collection proceedings hereunder; (d) shall have no liability to any Lender for any determination made in good faith by the Agent that such Lender is in default of its obligations hereunder; and (e) shall not be responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it hereunder or under any other agreement, document or instrument referred to or provided for herein or in connection herewith, except for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment or transfer complying with the terms and conditions of Section 8.6 hereof. SECTION 7.4 Consultation with Experts. Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for Borrower) , independent public accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants or experts. SECTION 7.5 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other communication (including any thereof by telephone, telex, facsimile, telegram or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Agreement, the Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, and no Lender shall have any right of action against Agent as a result of Agent acting or refraining from acting, hereunder or under the other Loan Documents in accordance with instructions signed by the Majority Lenders (or, where applicable, all Lenders) and such instructions and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Lenders; provided, however, the Agent shall not be required to take any action which (a) the Agent reasonably believes will expose it to personal liability unless the Agent receives an indemnification satisfactory to it from the Lenders with respect to such action or (b) is contrary to this Agreement, the Notes, the other Loan Documents or Applicable Law. SECTION 7.6 Defaults. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default (other than the non-payment of principal of or interest on Loans or of fees) unless the Agent has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower specifying such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default." In the event of any such non-payment or in the event the Agent receives such a notice of the occurrence of a Default or Event of Default, the Agent shall give, and to the extent the Agent otherwise has actual knowledge of a Default or Event of Default the Agent shall use best efforts to give, prompt notice thereof to the Lenders. SECTION 7.7 Indemnification. Each Lender shall, in accordance with its Pro Rata Share, promptly (and in all events within ten [10] days after demand therefor) reimburse (to the 58 extent not reimbursed by Borrower) Agent for, and indemnify Agent against, any third- party costs (including, without limitation, costs described in Section 7.12(b)), expense (including attorneys' fees and disbursements provided that, if outside counsel is not used by the Agent, the allocated cost of in-house counsel of Agent shall be deemed to be a third-party cost and expense), claim, demand, action, loss or liability (except such as result from Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct) that Agent may pay, suffer or incur in connection with the Loan Documents, or any action taken or omitted by Agent. The obligations of Lenders under this Section 7.7 shall survive the payment in full of all Obligations and the termination of this Agreement. In the event that after payment and distribution of any amount by Agent to Lenders, any Lender or third party, including Borrower, any creditor of Borrower or a trustee in bankruptcy, recovers from Agent any amount found to have been wrongfully paid to Agent or disbursed by Agent to Lenders, then Lenders, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Share, shall reimburse Agent for all such amounts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Agent shall not be obligated to advance any amounts hereunder (other than Agent's Pro Rata Share of each Advance) and may require the deposit with Agent by each Lender of its Pro Rata Share of any material expenditures anticipated by Agent before they are incurred or made payable. SECTION 7.8 Credit Decision. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon Agent or any other Lender, and based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit decisions in taking or not taking any action under the Loan Documents (including without limitation decisions with respect to the matters described in clauses (i) through (ix) of Section 8.5(a) of this Agreement). SECTION 7.9 Failure to Act. Except for action expressly required of the Agent hereunder, the Agent shall in all cases be fully justified in failing or refusing to act hereunder unless it shall receive further assurances to its satisfaction from the Lenders of their indemnification obligations under Section 7.7 hereof against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any such action. SECTION 7.10 Resignation or Removal of Agent; Co-Agent. (a) Subject to the appointment and acceptance of a successor Agent as provided below, the Agent may resign at any time by giving notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. For good cause, the Majority Lenders may remove Agent at any time by giving at least thirty (30) days prior written notice to Agent, Borrower and the other Lenders. For purposes of this Section 7.10, in determining whether the Majority Lenders have approved the removal of the Agent, the Agent, in its capacity as a Lender, will be disregarded and excluded and the Pro Rata Shares of the remaining Lenders shall be redetermined, for voting purposes only, to exclude the Pro Rata Shares of the Agent. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the acceptance of appointment as Agent by the successor Agent. Upon any such resignation or removal, the Majority Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Agent consented to by Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. If no successor Agent shall have 59 been so appointed by the Majority Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent's giving of notice of resignation or the Majority Lender's removal of the retiring Agent, the retiring Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders appoint a successor Agent consented to by Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any successor Agent must be a bank (i) the senior debt obligations of which (or such bank's parent's senior debt obligations) are rated not less than Baa-1 by Moody's Investors Services, Inc. or a comparable rating by a rating agency acceptable to the Majority Lenders and (ii) which has total assets in excess of $10,000,000,000.00. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent, such successor Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Agent, and the retiring Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations hereunder. After any retiring Agent's resignation or removal hereunder as Agent, the provisions of this Article 7 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the Agent. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent, such successor Agent shall confirm to Borrower, in writing, the agency fees to be paid to such successor Agent pursuant to Section 2.7(b). (b) In the event that Applicable Law imposes any restrictions on the identity of an agent such as the Agent or requires the appointment of any co-agent in connection therewith, the Agent may, in its discretion, for the purpose of complying with such restrictions, appoint one or more co-agents hereunder consented to by Borrower, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld by Borrower. Any such Co-Agent(s) shall have the same rights, powers, privileges and obligations as the Agent and shall be subject to and entitled to the benefits of all provisions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents relative to the Agent but the appointment of a co-agent shall not increase the obligation of Borrower hereunder. In addition to any rights of the Majority Lenders set forth in Section 7.10(a) above, any such Co-Agent may be removed at any time by the Agent. SECTION 7.11 Consent and Approvals. (a) Each Lender has authorized and directed, and hereby authorizes and directs, Agent to enter into the Loan Documents other than this Agreement for the benefit of Lenders. Each Lender agrees that any action taken by Agent or the Majority Lenders (or, where required by the express terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of Lenders) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or any Loan Document, and the exercise by Agent or the Majority Lenders (or, where so required, such greater proportion), 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 Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Agent shall have the sole and exclusive right and authority to: (i) act as the disbursing and collecting agent for the Lenders with respect to all payments and collections arising in connection with this Agreement and the Loan Documents; (ii) execute and deliver each Loan Document (other than this Agreement) and accept delivery of each such agreement delivered by the Borrower, any of its Subsidiaries, or any Property Owner; 60 (iii) act as collateral agent for the Lenders for all other purposes stated therein; (iv) deliver notices, including notices of default, hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; and (v) except as may be otherwise specifically restricted by the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, exercise all remedies given to the Agent or the Lenders under the Loan Documents, Applicable Law or otherwise. (b) Each of the following shall require the approval or consent of the Majority Lenders: (i) approval of any material amendment of the organizational documents of Borrower, Holdings I, Holdings II, CBL Properties, Inc., their respective Subsidiaries or any Property Owner prohibited by Section 6.1 hereof; (ii) approval of certain changes in executive officers otherwise prohibited by Section 6.1 hereof; (iii) acceleration of the Obligations following an Event of Default or rescission of such acceleration under Section 6.2(b) hereof; (iv) approval of the exercise of rights and remedies under the Loan Documents following an Event of Default; (v) removal of Agent and appointment of a successor under Section 7.10 hereof; and (vi) except as otherwise provided in Section 8.5, approval of any amendment, modification or termination of this Agreement. (c) In addition to the required consents or approvals referred to in Section 7.11(b) above, Agent may at any time request instructions from the Majority Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which, by the terms of this Agreement or of any of the Loan Documents, Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant without instructions from any Lenders, and if such instructions are promptly requested, Agent shall be absolutely entitled to refrain from taking any action or to withhold any approval and shall not be under any liability whatsoever to any Person for refraining from taking any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received such instructions from the Majority Lenders. Agent shall promptly notify each Lender at any time that the Majority Lenders have instructed Agent to act or refrain from acting pursuant hereto. (d) All communications from Agent to Lenders requesting Lenders determination, consent, approval or disapproval (i) shall be given in the form of a written notice to each Lender, 61 (ii) shall be accompanied by a description of the matter or thing as to which such determination, approval, consent or disapproval is requested, or shall advise each Lender where such matter or thing may be inspected, or shall otherwise describe the matter or issue to be resolved, (iii) shall include, if reasonably requested by a Lender and to the extent not previously provided to such Lender, written materials and a summary of all oral information provided to Agent by Borrower in respect of the matter or issue to be resolved, and (iv) shall include Agent's recommended course of action or determination in respect thereof. Each Lender shall reply promptly, but in any event within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of the request therefor by Agent (the "Lender Reply Period"). Unless a Lender shall give written notice to Agent that it objects to the recommendation or determination of Agent (together with a written explanation of the reasons behind such objection) within the Lender Reply Period, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved of or consented to such recommendation or determination. With respect to decisions requiring the approval of Majority Lenders or all Lenders, Agent shall submit its recommendation or determination for approval of or consent to such recommendation or determination to all Lenders and upon receiving the required approval or consent shall follow the course of action or determination recommended to Lenders by Agent or such other course of action recommended by Majority Lenders or all Lenders, as the case may be, and each non-responding Lender shall be deemed to have concurred with such recommended course of action. SECTION 7.12 Agency Provisions Relating to Properties; Expenses. (a) Except as provided in this Agreement, Agent shall have no obligation whatsoever to any Lender or to any other Person to assure that the Properties are cared for, protected or insured or are encumbered, or to exercise at all or in any particular manner or under any duty of care, disclosure or fidelity, or to continue exercising, any of the rights, authorities and powers granted or available to the Agent in this Agreement or in any of the Loan Documents, it being understood and agreed that in respect of the Properties, or in any act, omission or event related thereto, the Agent may act in any manner it may deem appropriate, in its sole discretion. (b) Should Agent commence any proceeding or in any way seek to enforce its rights or remedies under the Loan Documents, each Lender, upon demand therefor from time to time, shall contribute its share (based on its Pro Rata Share) of the reasonable costs and/or expenses of any such enforcement or acquisition, including, but not limited to, fees of receivers or trustees, court costs, and fees and expenses of attorneys to the extent not otherwise reimbursed by Borrower. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Lender shall contribute its share (based on its Pro Rata Share) of all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by Agent (including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses) if Agent employs counsel for advice or other representation (whether or not any suit has been or shall be filed) with respect to any of the Loan Documents, or the attempt to enforce any rights of Agent or any of Borrower's or any other party's obligations under any of the Loan Documents, but not with respect to any dispute between Agent and any other Lender(s). Any loss of principal and interest resulting from any Event of Default shall be shared by Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares. It is understood and agreed that in the event Agent determines it is necessary to engage counsel for Lenders from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, said counsel shall be selected 62 by Agent and written notice of such selection, together with a copy of such counsel's engagement letter and fee estimate, shall be delivered to Lenders. SECTION 7.13 Defaulting Lenders. (a) If a Lender fails or refuses to fund its Pro Rata Share of an Advance hereunder and each other Lender has funded its Pro Rata Share of such Advance, Borrower may request that the Agent deliver to such non-funding Lender a notice stating that unless such Lender funds such Advance within five (5) days of its receipt of such notice, such Lender shall be a Defaulting Lender. The Agent, upon receipt of such request, shall send such notice if either (i) the Agent determines that such Lender, by not funding its Pro Rata Share of such Advance, has defaulted in its obligations hereunder or (ii) Borrower has obtained a judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction that such non-funding Lender has breached it obligations to Borrower by failing to fund its Pro Rata Share of such Advance. Any determination made in good faith by the Agent pursuant to clause (i) above shall be conclusive and binding on Borrower and such Lender unless and until a judgment to contrary is obtained from a court of competent jurisdiction. (b) Once a Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, the Agent shall notify the other Lenders of such occurrence, whereupon the Pro Rata Share of each of the other Lenders shall be recalculated to exclude the Pro Rata Share of such Defaulting Lender. (c) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, until such time as a Defaulting Lender has funded its Pro Rata Share of any Advance which was previously a Non Pro Rata Advance, or such Lender is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction not to have defaulted in it obligations hereunder or all other Lenders have received payment in full (whether by repayment or prepayment) of the principal and interest due in respect of such Non Pro Rata Advance, all of the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender hereunder shall be subordinated in right of payment, as provided in the following sentence, to the prior payment in full of all principal, interest and fees in respect of all Non Pro Rata Advances in which the Defaulting Lender has not funded its Pro Rata Share (such principal, interest and fees being referred to as "Senior Loans"). All amounts paid by Borrower and otherwise due to be applied to the Obligations owing to the Defaulting Lender pursuant to the terms hereof shall be distributed by Agent to the other Lenders in accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares (recalculated for purposes hereof to exclude the Defaulting Lender's Total Commitment), until all Senior Loans have been paid in full. This provision governs only the relationship among Agent, each Defaulting Lender, and the other Lenders; nothing hereunder shall limit the obligation of Borrower to repay all Advances in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The provisions of this section shall apply and be effective regardless of whether an Event of Default occurs and is then continuing, and notwithstanding (i) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, (ii) any instruction of Borrower as to its desired application of payments or (iii) the suspension of such Defaulting Lender's right to vote on matters which are subject to the consent or approval of Majority Lenders or all Lenders. (d) Agent shall be entitled to (i) collect interest from such Lender for the period from the date on which the payment was due until the date on which the payment is made at the 63 Federal Funds Rate for each day during such period, (ii) withhold or setoff, and to apply to the payment of the defaulted amount and any related interest, any amounts to be paid to such Defaulting Lender under this Agreement, and (iii) bring an action or suit against such Defaulting Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to recover the defaulted amount and any related interest. In addition, the Defaulting Lender shall indemnify, defend and hold Agent and each of the other Lenders harmless from and against any and all costs, expenses and liabilities plus interest thereon at the Default Rate set forth in the Loan Documents for funds advanced by Agent or any other Lender on account of the Defaulting Lender which they may sustain or incur by reason of or as a direct consequence of the Defaulting Lender's failure or refusal to abide by its obligations under this Agreement. (e) So long as any Lender is a Defaulting Lender, (i) the Defaulting Lender's outstanding portion of the Loan shall accrue interest during each month at a rate equal to the LIBOR Rate applicable to an Interest Period having a duration one-month and commencing on the first LIBOR Business Day of such month; and (ii) at the request of Borrower, all interest and fees payable to such Defaulting Lender shall be placed by the Agent in a cash collateral account and held as security for the Obligations owed to all of the Lenders and such interest and fees shall not be paid to such Defaulting Lender until such time as either (A) the other Lenders have been paid in full or (B) such Lender is no longer a Defaulting Lender; provided, however, if such Lender has been found to be a Defaulting Lender pursuant to a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such non-funding Lender has breached its funding obligations hereunder and such judgment is not a final, non-appealable judgment, then until Borrower obtains such a final, non-appealable judgment that such non-funding Lender is in breach of its funding obligations hereunder, Borrower shall continue to pay interest on the Defaulting Lender's portion of the outstanding Loan at the rate applicable to the other Lenders' portion of the outstanding Loan and the Agent shall, at the request of Borrower, deposit the excess of such interest over the interest payable at the rate set forth in clause (i) above into a cash collateral account, held as security for the Obligations owed to all of the Lenders and paid (x) to the Borrower, if such non-funding Lender is determined, in a final, non-appealable judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction to have breached its funding obligations hereunder, or (y) to such non-funding Lender, if such non-funding Lender is determined, in a final, non-appealable judgment from a court of competent jurisdiction not to have breached its funding obligations hereunder. (f) A Defaulting Lender shall cease to be a Defaulting Lender upon (i) the payment by such Defaulting Lender to the Agent, for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders, as appropriate, of its Pro Rata Share (determined without giving affect to any recalculation thereof as a result of such Lender being a Defaulting Lender) of an amount equal to the amount of each Advance which was previously a Non Pro Rata Advance plus all other amounts required to be paid or funded by Lenders hereunder since the date such Lender became a Defaulting Lender and for which such Defaulting Lender has not paid or funded its Pro Rata Share, (ii) any judgment that such non-funding Lender has breached its obligations to Borrower in respect of such Non Pro Rata Advance is reversed or vacated for any reason; or (iii) the Agent and all other Lenders receiving payment in full (whether by repayment or prepayment) of the principal and interest due in respect of all such Non Pro Rata Advances and all such other amounts. 64 (g) In the event a non-funding Lender is designated as a Defaulting Lender as a result of a judgment that such non-funding Lender has breached its obligations to Borrower in respect of such Non Pro Rata Advance and such judgment is subsequently reversed for any reason, then (i) such Lender shall no longer be a Defaulting Lender, (ii) the Pro Rata Share of each Lender shall be adjusted to include the Total Commitment of such Lender, (iii) such Lender shall be entitled to immediate payment of any and all amounts owed to it and held in any cash collateral account established pursuant to Section 7.13; (iv) the Borrower shall, within three (3) Business Days, repay to the Agent, for the benefit of the other Lenders, the aggregate amount by which the outstanding Advances made by each Lender exceeds such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Loan (giving effect to the recomputation of Pro Rata Share pursuant to clause (ii) above); and (v) such Lender shall have the right to recover from Borrower any damages that such Lender may have suffered as a result of having been categorized as "Defaulting Lender" and (vi) such Lender shall have such other remedies against Borrower as it may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity. SECTION 7.14 Borrower Not a Beneficiary. The provisions of this Article 7 are solely for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and neither the Borrower nor any Affiliate of the Borrower shall have any right to rely on or enforce any of the provisions hereof; provided, however, that the Borrower shall have the rights granted to it in subsections (a), (b), (e) and (f) of Section 7.13 hereof. In performing its functions and duties under this Agreement, the Agent shall act solely as the agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligations or relationship of agency, trustee or fiduciary with or for the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower. Lenders represent to Borrower that, other than letter agreements relating to the payment of fees and letters committing to participate as a Lender, the Loan Documents contain as of the date hereof all of the written agreements establishing the relationships between the Agent and the Lenders and among the Lenders in connection with the Loan. ARTICLE 8 MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 8.1 Notices. All notices or other communications required or permitted to be given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be considered as properly given if mailed by first-class United States mail, postage prepaid, registered or certified with return receipt requested, if sent by national overnight courier providing documentation of receipt, if delivered in person to the intended addressee or if sent by prepaid telegram, telex or telecopy, with a copy of such telegram, telex or telecopy sent by mail, overnight courier or personal delivery as aforesaid. Notice so mailed shall be effective three (3) Business Days after its deposit (provided however, that any Notice of Borrowing or Rate Selection Notice so mailed shall be effective only if and when received by Agent). Notice given in any other manner shall be effective only if and when received by the addressee. For purposes of notice, the addresses of the parties shall be as set forth on the signature pages hereto; provided, however, that any party shall have the right to change its address for notice hereunder to any other location within the 65 continental United States by the giving of thirty (30) days' notice to the other parties in the manner set forth hereinabove. SECTION 8.2 No Waiver. Any failure by Agent or any Lender to insist, or any election by Agent or any Lender not to insist, upon strict performance by Borrower or its Affiliates of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Loan Documents shall not be deemed to be a waiver of same or of any other term, provision or condition thereof, and Agent and the Lenders shall have the right at any time or times thereafter to insist upon strict performance by Borrower and its Affiliates of any and all such terms, provisions and conditions. No delay or omission by Agent or any Lender to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default, or acquiescence therein, and every right, power and remedy given by this Agreement to Agent or any Lender may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Agent or any Lender. No consent or waiver, expressed or implied, by Agent or any Lender to or of any Default or Event of Default by Borrower or its Affiliates in the performance of the Obligations of Borrower and its Affiliates hereunder or to any other Event of Default shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other Default or Event of Default in the performance of the same or any other Obligations of Borrower or its Affiliates hereunder. Failure on the part of Agent or any Lender to complain of any act or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by Agent or any such Lender of its rights hereunder or impair any rights, powers, or remedies of Agent or any Lender hereunder. SECTION 8.3 Expenses; Documentary Taxes; Withholding Taxes; Indemnification. (a) Borrower agrees to reimburse the Agent for all of the Agent's reasonable costs and expenses incurred in connection with the development, preparation, execution, delivery, modification or amendment of this Agreement, the Notes and the Loan Documents, including reasonable audit costs, appraisal costs, the cost of searches, filings and filing fees, taxes and the fees and disbursements of Agent's attorneys, Messrs. Troutman Sanders and any counsel retained by them. Borrower further agrees to reimburse the Agent and each Lender for all reasonable third-party costs and expenses incurred by the Agent or such Lender (including attorneys' fees and disbursements provided that, if outside counsel is not used by the Agent, the allocated cost of in-house counsel of Agent shall be deemed to be a third-party cost and expense) from and after the occurrence of a Default to: (i) commence, defend or intervene in any court proceeding; (ii) file a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleading, or to take any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or otherwise) relating to the Properties or this Agreement, the Notes or any of the Loan Documents; and (iii) enforce any of the Agent's and the Lenders' rights to collect any of the Obligations. (b) Borrower also agrees to pay, and to save harmless the Agent and the Lenders from any delay in paying, any intangibles, documentary stamp and other taxes (but excluding Excluded Taxes), if any, which may be payable in connection with the execution and delivery of 66 this Agreement, the Notes or any of the Loan Documents, or in any modification hereof or thereof. (c) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction other than the United States of America agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Agent such certificates, documents or other evidence, as required by the Internal Revenue Code, correctly completed and executed such Lender establishing that such payment is not subject to United States federal withholding tax under the Internal Revenue Code because such payment is either effectively connected with the conduct by such Lender of a trade or business in the United States or totally exempt from United States federal withholding tax by reason of the application of the provisions of a treaty to which the United States is a party or such Lender is otherwise exempt. (d) Borrower agrees to indemnify Agent and each Lender, their respective Affiliates and the respective directors, officers, agents and employees of the foregoing (each an "Indemnitee") and hold each Indemnitee harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses of any kind, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel, which may be incurred by such indemnitee in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding (whether or not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto) brought or threatened relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any actual or proposed use of proceeds of the Loan hereunder; provided that no Indemnitee shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for such Indemnitee's own gross negligence or willful misconduct as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction. SECTION 8.4 Waiver of Set-Offs; Sharing of Set-Offs. (a) Each Lender hereby waives any right of set-off against the Obligations it has with respect to any deposit account of Borrower, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates maintained with such Lender or any other account or property of Borrower, its Subsidiaries or its Affiliates held by such Lender; provided however, that the within waiver is not intended, and shall not be deemed, to waive any right of set-off (i) any Lender has with respect to any account required to be maintained pursuant to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or (ii) arising other than pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents. (b) As to any set-off permitted pursuant to Section 8.4(a) above, each Lender agrees that if it shall, by exercising any right of set-off or counterclaim or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to the Obligations held by it which is greater than the proportion received by any other Lender in respect of the aggregate amount of principal and interest due with respect to the Obligations held by such other Lender, such Lender receiving such proportionately greater payment shall promptly purchase such participation in the Obligations held by the other Lenders, and such other adjustments shall be made, as may be required so that all such payments of principal and interest with respect to the Obligations held by Lenders shall be shared by Lenders based upon each Lender's Pro Rata Share; provided that nothing in this Section shall impair the right of any Lender to exercise any right of set-off or counterclaim it may have and to apply the amount subject to such exercise to the payment of Indebtedness of Borrower other than the Obligations. Borrower agrees, to the fullest extent it may effectively do so under applicable law, that any holder of a participation in 67 the Obligations, whether or not acquired pursuant to the foregoing arrangements, may exercise rights of set-off or counterclaim and other rights with respect to such participation as fully as if such holder of a participation were a direct creditor of Borrower in the amount of such participation. SECTION 8.5 Amendments and Waivers. (a) No amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective without the written agreement of the Majority Lenders (after notice to all Lenders) and Borrower (except for amendments which by the express terms of this Agreement do not require the consent of Borrower), and (b) no termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom (except as expressly provided in Section 8.5(a)(v) below with respect to waivers of late fees), shall in any event be effective without the written concurrence of the Majority Lenders (after notice to all Lenders), which Majority Lenders shall have the right to grant or withhold at their sole discretion; provided, however, that the following amendments, modifications or waivers shall require the consent of all Lenders: (i) increasing or decreasing the Total Commitment of any Lender (except for ratable decreases in the Revolving Commitments by Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1); (ii) changing the principal amount of the Loan (except that no approval shall be required for reductions in the amount of the Loan resulting from repayments)or final maturity of the Loan (except for extensions pursuant to Section 2.10 or acceleration pursuant to Section 6.2); (iii) reducing the interest rates applicable to the Loan; (iv) reducing the rates on which fees payable pursuant hereto are determined; (v) forgiving or delaying any amount payable or receivable under Article 2 or waiving any Default or Event of Default in respect thereof; (vi) changing the definition of "Majority Lenders" or "Pro Rata Share"; (vii) changing any provision contained in this Section 8.5; (viii) releasing any obligor under any Loan Document, unless such release is otherwise required or permitted by the terms of this Agreement; (ix) consent to assignment by Borrower of all of its duties and Obligations hereunder pursuant to Section 8.6; or (x) any amendment to or modification of Section 5.12, or to the definition of "Leverage Ratio," "Total Obligations" or "Gross Asset Value" or to any other definition or other provision of this Agreement which would affect the calculation of the Leverage Ratio. 68 provided, further, any amendment, waiver or modification of the provisions of Article 7 (other than subsections (a), (b), (e), (f) and (g) of Section 7.13) may be made without the consent of the Borrower. Agent agrees to provide Borrower with notice of any such amendment, waiver or modification; provided, however, that the failure to give such notice shall not invalidate such amendment, waiver or modification. No amendment, modification, termination or waiver of any provision of Article 7 or any other provision referring to Agent shall be effective without the written concurrence of Agent, but only if such amendment, modification, termination or waiver alters the obligations or rights of Agent. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. No notice to or demand on Borrower in any case shall entitle Borrower to any other further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent effected in accordance with this Section 8.5 shall be binding on each assignee, transferee or recipient of Agent's or any Lender's Total Commitment under this Agreement or the Advances at the time outstanding. SECTION 8.6 Successors and Assigns. (a) The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of all Lenders. (b) Any Lender may, in accordance with applicable law, at any time sell to one or more banks or other institutions (each a "Participant") participating interests in any Advances owing to such Lender, the Note held by such Lender, the Total Commitment held by such Lender hereunder or any other interests of such Lender hereunder. Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections 2.5, 8.3(c) and 8.7 hereof with respect to its participation; provided that no Participant shall be entitled to receive any greater amount pursuant to such Section than such Lender would have been entitled to receive in respect of the amount of the participation transferred by such Lender to such Participant had no such transfer occurred. In no event shall a Lender that sells a participation be obligated to the Participant to take or refrain from taking any action hereunder, under such Lender's Note or in respect of such Lender's Total Commitment except that such Lender may agree that it will not, without the consent of the Participant, agree to (i) the increase or extension of the term, or the extension of the time or waiver of any requirement for the reduction or termination, of such Lender's Total Commitment, (ii) the extension of any date fixed for the payment of principal of or interest on the related Loan or Loans or any portion of any fees payable to the Participant, (iii) the reduction of any payment of principal thereof, or (iv) the reduction of the rate at which either interest is payable thereon to a level below the rate at which the Participant is entitled to receive interest in respect of such participation. (c) Each Lender may at any time assign, pursuant to an assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit G attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, with (unless such 69 assignment is to an existing Lender or to an Affiliate of any such Lender) the consent of the Agent and the Borrower (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and provided that Borrower's consent shall not be required if, at the time of such assignment, any monetary Default or monetary Event of Default is in existence hereunder or under the Notes or any other Loan Document) to one or more banks or other institutions (in either case, an "Assignee") all or any part of any Advances owing to such Lender, the Note held by such Lender, the Total Commitment held by such Lender or any other interest of such Lender hereunder; provided, however, that (i) each such assignment by a Lender shall be made in such manner so that the same portion of its Advances, Notes and Total Commitment is assigned to the Assignee and (ii) unless Borrower and the Agent consent otherwise, and except in the case of an assignment to another Lender, any partial assignment of a Lender's Total Commitment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $10,000,000.00, and (iii) at all times prior to its resignation or replacement, Agent's Total Commitment shall be equal to or greater than the Total Commitment of each other Lender. Without restricting the right of Borrower or Agent to reasonably object to any bank or financial institutional becoming an assignee of an interest of a Lender hereunder, each proposed assignee must be an existing Lender or a bank or financial institution which (i) has (or, in the case of a bank which is a subsidiary, such bank's parent has) a rating of its senior debt obligations of not less than Baa-1 by Moody's Investors Services, Inc. or a comparable rating by a rating agency acceptable to Agent and (ii) has total assets in excess of $10,000,000,000.00. Borrower and the Lenders agree that, to the extent of any assignment, the Assignee shall be deemed to have the same rights and benefits with respect to Borrower under this Agreement and the Notes as it would have had if it were a Lender hereunder on the date hereof with respect to its Pro Rata Share and the assigning Lender shall be released from its Total Commitment hereunder, to the extent of such assignment. Upon the making of an assignment, the assigning Lender shall pay to the Agent an assignment fee of $2,500, unless the Assignee is an Affiliate of the assigning Bank, in which case no such assignment fee shall be due. (d) In addition to the assignments and participations permitted under the foregoing provisions of this Section 8.6, any Lender may assign and pledge all or any portion of its Advances and its Notes to any Federal Reserve Bank as collateral security pursuant to Regulation A and any Operating Circular issued by such Federal Reserve Bank. No such assignment shall release the assigning Lender from its obligations hereunder. (e) Borrower authorizes each Lender to disclose to any Participant or Assignee ("Transferee") and any prospective Transferee any and all financial information in such Lender's possession concerning Borrower which has been delivered to such Lender by Borrower or the Agent pursuant to this Agreement or which has been delivered to such Lender by Borrower in connection with such Lender's credit evaluation of Borrower prior to entering into this Agreement. (f) Any Lender, at such Lender's sole cost and expense, shall be entitled to have the Notes held by it subdivided in connection with a permitted assignment of all or any portion of such Notes and the respective Advances evidenced thereby pursuant to Section 8.6(c) above. Any Lender, which by reason of an assignment pursuant to Section 8.6(c) hereof or otherwise, has or would have more than one (1) Term Note or more than one (1) Revolving Note hereunder 70 shall be entitled to have such Term Notes and/or Revolving Notes consolidated into a single Term Note and a single Revolving Note. In the case of any such subdivision or consolidation, the new Notes (the "New Notes") issued in exchange for a Note or Notes (the "Old Note(s)") previously issued hereunder (i) shall be substantially in the form of Exhibits C and D hereto, as appropriate, (ii) shall be dated the date of such assignment or of the most recent Note held by such Lender, as the case may be, (iii) shall be otherwise duly completed and (iv) shall bear a legend, to the effect that such New Note is issued in exchange for such Old Note(s) and that the indebtedness represented by such Old Note(s) shall not have been extinguished by reason of such exchange. (g) Borrower will use reasonable efforts to cooperate with Agent and Lenders in connection with the assignment of interests under this Agreement or the sale of participations herein. SECTION 8.7 Capital Adequacy. If, after the date hereof, any Lender shall have determined that either (i) the adoption or implementation of any applicable law, rule, regulation or guideline of general applicability regarding capital adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or (ii) compliance by such Lender (or any lending office of such Lender) with any request or directive of general applicability regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender's capital as a consequence of its or Borrower's obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Lender could have achieved but for such adoption, implementation, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then from time to time, within ten (10) days after demand by such Lender, which demands shall include a calculation and a reference to the applicable law, rule or regulation, Borrower shall pay to such Lender such additional amount of amounts as will adequately compensate such Lender for such reduction. Such Lender will use good faith and reasonable efforts to designate a different lending office for such Lender's Advances if such designation will avoid the need for, or reduce the amount of, such compensation and will not, in the sole opinion of such Lender, be disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall notify the Agent and the Borrower of any event occurring after the date of this Agreement entitling such Lender to compensation under this Section 8.7 within 45 days, after such Lender obtains actual knowledge thereof; provided that if any Lender fails to give such notice within 45 days after it obtains actual knowledge of such an event, such Lender shall, with respect to compensation payable pursuant to this Section 8.7 in respect of any costs resulting from such event, only be entitled to payment for costs incurred from and after the date 45 days prior to the date that such Lender gives such notice. A certificate of such Lender claiming compensation under this Section 8.7 and setting forth the additional amount of amounts to be paid to it hereunder, together with the description of the manner in which such amounts have been calculated, shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods. 71 SECTION 8.8 Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, with the same effect as if the signatures thereto and hereto were upon the same instrument. SECTION 8.9 Notice of Final Agreement. THIS AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. SECTION 8.10 Invalid Provisions. Any provision of any Loan Document held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable shall not invalidate the remaining provisions of such Loan Document which shall remain in full force and effect and the effect thereof shall be confined to the provision held invalid or illegal. SECTION 8.11 Maximum Rate. Regardless of any provision contained in any of the Loan Documents, Lenders shall never be entitled to receive, collect or apply as interest (whether termed interest herein or deemed to be interest by operation of law or judicial determination) on the Obligations any amount in excess of interest calculated at the Maximum Rate, and, in the event that any Lender ever receives, collects or applies as interest any such excess, the amount which would be excessive interest shall be deemed to be a partial prepayment of principal and treated hereunder as such; and, if the principal amount of the Obligations are paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable under any specific contingency exceeds interest calculated at the Maximum Rate, Borrower and Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, (i) characterize any non-principal payment as an expense, fee or premium rather than as interest; (ii) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof; and (iii) amortize, prorate, allocate and spread, in equal parts, the total amount of interest throughout the entire contemplated term of the Obligations; provided that, if the Obligations are paid and performed in full prior to the end of the full contemplated term thereof, and if the interest received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds interest calculated at the Maximum Rate, Lenders shall refund to Borrower the amount of such excess or credit the amount of such excess against the principal amount of the Obligations and, in such event, Lenders shall not be subject to any penalties provided by any laws for contracting for, charging, taking, reserving or receiving interest in excess of interest calculated at the Maximum Rate. SECTION 8.12 Limitation Upon Liability. Limitation Upon Liability. Subject to the exceptions and qualifications described below, the partners, directors, officers, shareholders, members, unit holders, and employees of Borrower and Guarantors (the "Exculpated Parties") shall not be personally liable for the payment of the Loan. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph: (a) if a Default occurs, nothing hereinabove stated shall in any way prevent or hinder the Agent or the Lenders in the enforcement or foreclosure of any liens, security agreements, or other pledges of collateral (including, without limitation, assignments of partnership interests and other ownership interests) securing the payment of the Loan, or in the pursuit or enforcement of any remedy or judgment 72 against Borrower, any Guarantor, and its or their assets; and (b) each of the Exculpated Parties which is not an individual (i.e., which is a corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited liability company, or other similar entity) shall be fully liable to the Agent and the Lenders to the same extent that the Exculpated Parties would be liable absent the foregoing provisions of this paragraph: (i) for fraud or willful misrepresentation by an Exculpated Party or its Affiliates (to the full extent of losses suffered by the Agent or the Lenders by reason of such fraud or willful misrepresentations); (ii) for the retention of any income in excess of operating expenses of the Property arising with respect to any Property collected after Agent has given Borrower any notice that Borrower is in default under any of the Loan Documents and that the Agent has exercised its option to accelerate the maturity of the Loan, or to exercise any of the rights, remedies and recourses of the Agent or the Lenders under the Loan Documents (to the full extent of the income in excess of such operating expenses collected after the giving of any such notice); and (iii) for the fair market value, as of the time of the giving of any notice referred to in (ii) above, of any personalty, fixtures or other assets removed or disposed of after the giving of any notice referred to in (ii) above. SECTION 8.13 Course of Dealing. Borrower and Lenders mutually agree that each shall proceed at all times in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner in the performance of its obligations and in the exercise of its judgment or discretion hereunder and under the other loan documents.

(a) Borrower acknowledges that from time to time financial advisory, investment banking and other services may be offered or provided to Borrower or one or more of its Subsidiaries (in connection with this Agreement or otherwise) by any Lender or by one or more Subsidiaries or Affiliates of such Lender and Borrower hereby authorizes each Lender to share any information delivered to such Lender by Borrower and its Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement, or in connection with the decision of such Lender to enter into this Agreement, to any such Subsidiary or Affiliate, it being understood that any such Subsidiary or Affiliate receiving such information shall be bound by the provisions of clause (b) below as if it were a Lender hereunder. (b) Each Lender agrees (on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates, directors, officers, employees and representatives) to keep confidential, in accordance with their customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices, any non-public information supplied to it by Borrower pursuant to this Agreement which is identified by Borrower as being confidential at the time the same is delivered to the Lenders, provided that nothing herein shall limit the disclosure of any such information (i) to the extent required by statute, rule, regulation or judicial process, (ii) to counsel for any of the Lenders, (iii) to bank examiners, auditors or accountants, (iv) to any other Lender, (v) in connection with any litigation to which any one or more of the Lenders is a party (provided, that each such Lender will promptly notify Borrower of such litigation and of such proposed disclosure prior to the disclosure of such information (unless prohibited from doing so by the relevant court)) or (vi) to any Transferee (or prospective Transferee) so long as such 73 Transferee (or prospective Transferee) first executes and delivers to the respective Lender a Confidentiality Agreement containing substantially the term of this Section 8.14. SECTION 8.15 Conflict of Terms. In the event of a conflict between the terms and provisions of this Agreement and the terms and provisions of any of the other Loan Documents, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.
