Subject to the terms and conditions herein set out, Bank agrees and commits to make loan advances to and issue letters of credit for the account of Borrower from time to time, from the Closing Date until the Termination Date of Revolving Credit Loan, in an aggregate principal amount of the loan advances and the face amount of any letters of credit not to exceed, at any one time outstanding, the lesser of (a) One Hundred Five Million Dollars ($105,000,000.00), (b) Borrower's Borrowing Base, as defined in Section 1; or

(c) the Permanent Loan Estimate; provided however, notwithstanding anything contain in the Loan Documents elsewhere to the contrary, the parties acknowledge that the amount shown in (a) above will decrease on June 1, 2011 to Eighty Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($82,500,000.00) and be shared among the participating lenders (excluding Regions Bank) and will remain at that level until a replacement participating lender is found to replace Regions Bank at its current level of participation in the Loan.

2.2 Funding the Loan. Each loan advance hereunder shall be made upon the written request of Borrower to Bank, specifying the date and amount and intended use thereof. All advances hereunder shall be made by depositing the same to the checking account of Borrower at Bank or other methods acceptable to Borrower and Bank.

2.3 The Note and Interest. The Revolving Credit Loan shall be evidenced by one (1) promissory note of Borrower payable to the order of Bank in the aggregate principal amount of One Hundred Five Million Dollars ($105,000,000.00), in form substantially the same as the copy of the Note, attached hereto as Exhibit "C." The entire principal amount of the Loan shall be due and payable on the Termination Date of Revolving Credit Loan. The unpaid principal balances of the Revolving Credit Loan shall bear interest from the Closing Date on disbursed and unpaid principal balances (calculated on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days as is appropriate) at a rate per annum as specified in the Note. Said interest shall be payable monthly on the fifth (5th) day of each month after the Closing Date. Bank shall mail to Borrower a billing notice at least ten (10) days prior thereto setting forth the payment amount next due, but any failure to send such notice shall not relieve Borrower of the obligation to pay accrued interest. The final installment of interest, together with the entire outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loan, shall be due and payable on the Termination Date of Revolving Credit Loan. The first selection of the one (1) month, three (3) months, six (6) months or LIBOR Rate shall be made by Borrower on or prior to the date of the Note and each selection thereafter shall be made at least twenty four (24) hours prior to the end of the then applicable interest rate period. Borrower may not ever select a rate period which exceeds the Termination Date of the Revolving Credit Loan. In the event funding at the LIBOR Rate is not available as a matter of law, funding to the extent allowed hereunder shall be at the Base Rate; however, the interest rate shall never be less than four and fifty hundredths percent (4.50%) per annum.)

2.4 Commitment Fee/Servicing Fee/ Other Fees. On the Closing Date Borrower will pay to Bank (in addition to the commitment fees it has previously paid) an additional commitment/extension fee of Five Hundred Twenty Five Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($525,000.00). In addition to the commitment/extension fee, on each June 1, Borrower shall pay to Bank a servicing fee in the amount of Forty Thousand and NO/100 Dollars ($40,000.00) for Bank's services in connection with administering the Loan participation with the Participants. The servicing fee shall belong solely to Bank and the Participants shall have no interest therein. Borrower agrees that the commitment fees and servicing fee are fair and reasonable considering the condition of the money market, the creditworthiness of Borrower, the interest rate to be paid, and the nature of the security for the Loan.

2.5 Borrowings under, Prepayments or Termination of the Revolving Credit Loan. Borrower may, at its option, from time to time, subject to the terms and conditions of this Loan Agreement, without penalty, borrow, repay and reborrow amounts under the Note, and

principal payments received shall be applied by Bank to the Note all in such order and amounts as Bank deems appropriate in its sole discretion.

By notice to Bank in writing, Borrower shall be entitled to terminate Bank's commitment to make further advances on the Revolving Credit Loan; and provided that the Revolving Credit Loan and all interest and all other obligations of Borrower to Bank arising hereunder shall have been paid in full, Bank shall thereupon at Borrower's request release its security interest in all of Borrower's Property securing the Revolving Credit Loan.

2.6 Substitution of Collateral.

2.9 Issuance of Letters of Credit. To the extent that letters of credit are requested by Borrower to be issued in connection with the Loan, Borrower agrees to execute and deliver to Bank any documents reasonably requested by Bank related to the issuance of the letters of credit, including but not limited to Bank’s standard form of reimbursement agreement. The letters of credit shall not have an expiry date beyond the maturity date of the Note. Subject to compliance with the other terms and provisions of this Loan Agreement, up to Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00) of the Loan may be used for issuance of letters of credit for any purpose acceptable to Bank. While the face amount of the letters of credit shall be counted against availability under the Loan as described in Section 2.1, such amounts shall only be deemed actual Loan advances when the letter of credit is drawn upon.

SECTION 3: REQUIRED PAYMENTS, PLACE OF PAYMENT, ETC.

3.1 Required Repayments. In the event that the outstanding aggregate principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loan including outstanding letters of credit, shall at any time exceed the Borrowing Base, upon discovery of the existence of such excess borrowings, Borrower shall, within ninety (90) days from the date of such discovery, make a principal payment which will reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Revolving Credit Loan to an amount which does not exceed the Borrowing Base and/or at Borrower's option provide Bank with additional collateral for the Revolving Credit Loan of a value and type reasonably satisfactory to Bank which additional collateral shall be at a minimum sufficient to secure the then outstanding balance of the Loan (after credit for any principal reduction payment received from Borrower, if any), and if Borrower intends to request additional advances under the Loan, the additional collateral shall include collateral, deemed sufficient in Bank's discretion, to secure

the One Hundred Five Million Dollars ($105,000,000.00) credit line limitation, thereafter permitting Borrower to obtain additional advances in the manner and to the extent provided under the terms of this Loan Agreement.

No failure to exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of Bank, any right, power or privilege hereunder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. Waiver of any right, power, or privilege hereunder or under any instrument or document now or hereafter securing the indebtedness evidenced hereby or under any guaranty at any time given with respect thereto is a waiver only as to the specified item. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided by law.

9.4 Indemnification. Borrower agrees to indemnify Bank from and against any and all claims, losses and liabilities, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, growing out of or resulting from this Loan Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Loan Agreement), except claims, losses or liabilities resulting solely and directly from Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct or from Bank's violation of applicable banking rules and regulations. The indemnification provided for in this Section shall survive the payment in full of the loan. Borrower agrees to indemnify Bank and the Participants and to hold Bank and the Participants harmless from any loss or expense that such Bank or the Participants may sustain or incur as a consequence of a default by Borrower in making any prepayment of or conversion from an advance bearing interest at the LIBOR Rate after Borrower has given a notice thereof in accordance with the provisions of this Loan Agreement.

9.5 Survival of Agreements. All agreements, representations and warranties made herein shall survive the delivery of the Note. This Loan Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, except that Borrower shall not have the right to assign its rights hereunder or any interest therein.

9.6 Governing Law. This Loan Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Tennessee; except (a) that the provisions hereof which relate to the payment of interest shall be governed by (i) the laws of the United States or, (ii) the laws of the State of Tennessee, whichever permits Bank to charge the higher rate, as more particularly set out in the Note, and (b) to the extent that the Liens in favor of Bank, the perfection thereof, and the rights and remedies of Bank with respect thereto, shall, under mandatory provisions of law, be governed by the laws of a state other than Tennessee.

9.7 Execution in Counterparts. This Loan Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

9.8 Terminology; Section Headings. All personal pronouns used in this Loan Agreement whether used in the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender, shall include all other genders; the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa. Section headings are for convenience only and neither limit nor amplify the provisions of this Loan Agreement.

9.9 Enforceability of Agreement. Should any one or more of the provisions of this Loan Agreement be determined to be illegal or unenforceable, all other provisions, nevertheless, shall remain effective and binding on the parties hereto.

9.10 Interest Limitations.

(a) The Loan and the Note evidencing the Loan, including any renewals or extensions thereof, may provide for the payment of any interest rate (i) permissible at the time the contract to make the Loan is executed, (ii) permissible at the time the Loan is made or any advance thereunder is made, or (iii) permissible at the time of any renewal or extension of the loan or any Note.

(b) It is the intention of Bank and Borrower to comply strictly with applicable usury laws; and, accordingly, in no event and upon no contingency shall Bank ever be entitled to receive, collect, or apply as interest any interest, fees, charges or other payments equivalent to interest, in excess of the maximum rate which Bank may lawfully charge under applicable statutes and laws from time to time in effect; and in the event that the holder of the Note ever receives, collects, or applies as interest any such excess, such amount which, but for this provision, would be excessive interest, shall be applied to the reduction of the principal amount of the indebtedness thereby evidenced; and if the principal amount of the indebtedness evidenced thereby, and all lawful interest thereon, is paid in full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Borrower or other party lawfully entitled thereto. In determining whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any specific contingency, exceeds the highest rate which Bank may lawfully charge under applicable law from time to time in effect, Borrower and Bank shall, to the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, characterize any non-principal payment as a reasonable loan charge, rather than as interest. Any provision hereof, or of any other agreement between Bank and Borrower, that operates to bind, obligate, or compel Borrower to pay interest in excess of such maximum rate shall be construed to require the payment of the maximum rate only. The provisions of this paragraph shall be given precedence over any other provision contained herein or in any other agreement between Bank and Borrower that is in conflict with the provisions of this paragraph.

The Note shall be governed and construed according to the statutes and laws of the State of Tennessee from time to time in effect, except to the extent that Section 85 of Title 12 of the United States Code (or other applicable federal statue) may permit the charging of a higher rate of interest than applicable state law, in which event such applicable federal statute, as amended and supplemented from time to time shall govern and control the maximum rate of interest permitted to be charged hereunder; it being intended that, as to the maximum rate of interest which may be charged, received, and collected hereunder, those applicable statutes and laws, whether state or federal, from time to time in effect, which permit the charging of a higher rate of interest, shall govern and control; provided, always, however, that in no event and under no circumstances shall Borrower be liable for the payment of interest in excess of the maximum rate permitted by such applicable law, from time to time in effect.

9.11 Non-Control. In no event shall Bank's rights hereunder be deemed to indicate that Bank is in control of the business, management or properties of Borrower and/or any Related Entity or has power over the daily management functions and operating decisions made by Borrower and/or any Related Entity.

9.12 Loan Review; Extensions of Termination Date; Continuing Security.

(a) At least ninety (90) days prior to June 1, 2011, Borrower shall notify Bank in writing whether it desires to extend the existing Termination Date of Revolving Credit Loan for an additional twelve (12) months beyond the existing Termination Date of Revolving Credit Loan.

(b) The specific Termination Date of Revolving Credit Loan mentioned in Article One may be extended for an additional period of one (1) year. On or before June 1, 2011, if the Loan remains unpaid, Bank shall review the performance of the Loan. If Bank deems performance of the Loan acceptable, it will renew the Loan for one (1) year from the then existing Termination Date of Revolving Credit Loan. If Bank renews the Loan at anytime or from time to time prior to June 1, 2011, Bank, and Borrower agree the Loan shall be renewed with covenants as contained in Sections 7 of this Loan Agreement and such other covenants, terms and conditions as may be mutually agreed upon by Borrower and Bank. If Bank deems performance of the Loan not acceptable, Bank shall not be obligated to extend the Termination Date of Revolving Credit Loan. Assessment of performance and the decision whether to extend the Termination Date of Revolving Credit Loan (from June 1, 2012 to June 1, 2013) shall be solely within Bank's discretion. Bank will not deem the performance of the Loan acceptable unless and until Borrower provides to Bank, among other things, updated title commitments with respect to all properties covered by any CBL Mortgage, which title commitments must be in form and substance acceptable to Bank and must contain no exceptions unacceptable to Bank. Bank shall notify Borrower of the results of its review of the Loan no later than eleven (11) months prior to the then effective Termination Date of the Revolving Credit Loan. If Bank elects not to renew the Loan, Bank shall not perform or cause to be performed, except at Bank's expense unless an Event of Default has occurred, any inspections, appraisals, surveys or similar items between: (a) the date notice thereof is given Borrower or the Termination Date of Revolving Credit Loan, whichever first occurs, and (b) the date the Note is to be repaid as provided therein. In the event the Termination Date of Revolving Credit Loan is not extended, Borrower may elect either to: (i) continue to use the Loan evidenced by the Note subject to the terms and provisions of this Loan Agreement in which event the principal balance due, together with all accrued interest, shall be payable in full at the Termination Date of Revolving Credit Loan existing at the time Bank elects not to extend the then existing Termination Date of Revolving Credit Loan; or (ii) cap the Loan at its then existing outstanding principal balance and continue to pay interest only monthly for a six (6) month period, such interest payments being due and payable on the first (1st) day of each month thereafter, then at the conclusion of the six (6) month period amortize the then outstanding principal balance of the loan over an eighteen (18) month period with the principal being due in equal quarterly installments on the first (1st) day of each quarter thereafter with accrued interest being payable monthly on the first (1st) day of the month, with all principal and accrued interest being due and payable in full at the end of the eighteen (18) month period. Anything contained in the foregoing to the contrary notwithstanding, upon any such extension, Borrower agrees to pay to Bank (in addition to the commitment fees it has previously paid under this Loan Agreement) an extension fee of Two Hundred Sixty Two Thousand Five Hundred and NO/100 Dollars ($262,500.00).

(c) Upon the specific Termination Date of Revolving Credit Loan so fixed in Article One, or in the event of the extension of this Loan Agreement to a subsequent Termination Date of Revolving Credit Loan (when no effective extension is in force), the Revolving Credit Loan

and all other extensions of credit (unless sooner declared to be due and payable by Bank pursuant to the provisions hereof), and subject to Borrower's election as set forth in subparagraph (a) above, shall become due and payable for all purposes. Until all such indebtednesses, liabilities and obligations secured by the CBL Mortgage are satisfied in full, such termination shall not affect the security interest granted to Bank pursuant to the CBL Mortgage, nor the duties, covenants, and obligations of Borrower therein and in this Loan Agreement; and all of such duties, covenants and obligations shall remain in full force and effect until the Revolving Credit Loan and all obligations under this Loan Agreement have been fully paid and satisfied in all respects.

9.13 Fees and Expenses. Borrower agrees to pay, or reimburse Bank for, the reasonable actual third party out-of-pocket expenses, including counsel fees and fees of any accountants, inspectors or other similar experts, as deemed necessary by Bank, incurred by Bank in connection with the development, preparation, execution, amendment, recording, (excluding the salary and expenses of Bank's employees and Bank's normal and usual overhead expenses) or enforcement of, or the preservation of any rights under this Loan Agreement, the Note and any instrument or document now or hereafter securing the and Revolving Credit Loan indebtednesses.

9.14 Time of Essence. Time is of the essence of this Loan Agreement, the Note and the other instruments and documents executed and delivered in connection herewith.

9.15 Compromises, Releases, Etc. Bank is hereby authorized from time to time, without notice to anyone, to make any sales, pledges, surrenders, compromises, settlements, releases, indulgences, alterations, substitutions, exchanges, changes in, modifications, or other dispositions including, without limitation, cancellations, of all or any part of the Loan indebtedness, or of any contract or instrument evidencing any thereof, or of any security or collateral therefor, and/or to take any security for or guaranties upon any of said indebtedness; and the liability of any guarantor, if any, shall not be in any manner affected, diminished, or impaired thereby, or by any lack of diligence, failure, neglect, or omission on the part of Bank to make any demand or protest, or give any notice of dishonor or default, or to realize upon or protect any of said indebtedness or any collateral or security therefor. Bank shall have the right to apply such payments and credits first to the payment of all its expenses, including costs and reasonable attorneys' fees, then to interest due under the Note and then to principal due under the Note. Bank shall be under no obligation, at any time, to first resort to, make demand on, file a claim against, or exhaust its remedies against Borrower or its property or estate, or to resort to or exhaust its remedies against any collateral, security, property, liens, or other rights whatsoever. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, it is expressly agreed that Bank may at any time make demand for payment on, or bring suit against, Borrower and any guarantor, jointly or severally and may compromise with any of them for such sums or on such terms as it may see fit, and without notice or consent, the same being hereby expressly waived.

9.16 Joinder of Parent. Parent joins herein for the purpose of acknowledging and consenting to the terms and provisions hereof and agreeing to those which specifically apply to the Parent.

9.17 Bank's Consent. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, in any instance hereunder where Bank's approval or consent is required or the exercise of its judgment is required, the granting or denial of such approval or consent and the exercise of such judgment shall be within the sole but reasonable discretion of Bank, and Bank shall not, for any reason or to any extent, be required to grant such approval or consent or exercise such judgment provided that Bank shall proceed at all times in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.

9.18 Venue of Actions. As an integral part of the consideration for the making of the loan, it is expressly understood and agreed that no suit or action shall be commenced by Borrower, Related Entities, CBL Holdings, Parent, by any guarantor, or by any successor, personal representative or assignee of any of them, with respect to the loan contemplated hereby, or with respect to this Loan Agreement or any other document or instrument which now or hereafter evidences or secures all or any part of the loan indebtedness, other than in a state court of competent jurisdiction in and for the County of the State in which the principal place of business of Bank is situated, or in the United States District Court for the District in which the principal place of business of Bank is situated, and not elsewhere. Nothing in this paragraph contained shall prohibit Bank from instituting suit in any court of competent jurisdiction for the enforcement of its rights hereunder or in any other document or instrument which evidences or secures the loan indebtedness.

9.19 Waiver of Right to Trial By Jury. EACH PARTY TO THIS LOAN AGREEMENT HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (a) ARISING UNDER THIS LOAN AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR (b) IN ANY WAY CONNECTED WITH OR RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE DEALINGS OF THE PARTIES HERETO OR ANY OF THEM WITH RESPECT TO THIS LOAN AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH, OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO, IN EACH CASE WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING; AND EACH PARTY HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY, AND THAT ANY PARTY TO THIS LOAN AGREEMENT MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL COUNTERPART OR A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY.

9.20 Conflict. In the event of any conflict between the provisions hereof and any other loan document during the continuance of this Loan Agreement the provisions of this Loan Agreement shall control.

9.21 Participation Agreement. Borrower acknowledges that the Participation Agreement exists and that Bank is obligated, subject to the terms and conditions hereof, to fund One Hundred Five Million Dollars ($105,000,000.00) to Borrower but that of that amount, Compass Bank, Regions Bank, Branch Banking and Trust Company and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company are obligated, subject to the terms and conditions of the Participation Agreement, to fund as follows: Compass is to fund Fifteen Million and NO/100 Dollars

($15,000,000.00), Regions Bank is to fund Twenty Two Million Five Hundred Thousand and NO/100 Dollars ($22,500,000.00) but only until June 1, 2011, Branch Banking and Trust Company is to fund Fifteen Million and NO/100 Dollars ($15,000,000.00) and Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company to fund Twenty Five Million and NO/100 Dollars ($25,000,000.00).

9.22 USA Patriot Act Notice and Compliance. The USA Patriot Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-56) and federal regulations issued with respect thereto require all financial institutions to obtain, verify and record certain information that identifies individuals or business entities which open an “account” with such financial institution. Consequently, Bank may from time to time request, and Borrower shall provide to Bank, Borrower’s, Parent’s, each guarantor’s and each other Loan party’s name, address, tax identification number and/or such other identification information as shall be necessary for Bank to comply with federal law. An “account” for this purpose may include, without limitation, a deposit account, cash management service, a transaction or asset account, a credit account, a loan or other extension of credit, and/or other financial services product.

9.23 Non-Recourse. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING CONTAINED IN THIS LOAN AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, BANK EXPRESSLY AGREES THAT PAYMENT OF ALL PRINCIPAL, INTEREST AND OTHER AMOUNTS (INCLUDING COSTS AND EXPENSES) DUE AND PERFORMANCE OF ALL OTHER OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES UNDER THIS LOAN AGREEMENT BY CBL HOLDINGS I, INC., IN ITS CAPACITY AS THE GENERAL PARTNER OF BORROWER, SHALL BE NON-RECOURSE AS TO SUCH GENERAL PARTNER.
