Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, each Lender hereby severally and not jointly agrees to make revolving loans, in Dollars (each individually, a "Loan" and, collectively, the "Loans") to the Borrower from time to time during the Revolving Credit Period, in an amount not to exceed such Lender's Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Availability at such time. All Loans comprising the same Borrowing under this Agreement shall be made by the Lenders simultaneously and proportionately to their then respective Pro Rata Shares, it being understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any failure by any other Lender to perform its obligation to make a Loan hereunder nor shall the Revolving Credit Commitment of any Lender be increased or decreased as a result of any such failure. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may repay any outstanding Loan on any day which is a Business Day and any amounts so repaid may be reborrowed, up to the amount available under this Section 2.1(a) at the time of such Borrowing, until the Business Day next preceding the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Each requested Borrowing of Loans funded on any Funding Date shall be in a principal amount of at least $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $500,000 in excess of that amount; provided, however, that if the aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments outstanding at the time of such requested Borrowing is less than $1,000,000, then the requested Borrowing shall be for the total amount of such outstanding aggregate Revolving Credit Commitments.
(b) Notice of Borrowing. When the Borrower desires to borrow under this Section 2.1, it shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Borrowing, signed by it (i) no later than 11:00 a.m. (Boston time) on the Business Day immediately preceding the proposed Funding Date, in the case of a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans and (ii) no later than 11:00 a.m. (Boston time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed Funding Date, in the case of a Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans. Such Notice of Borrowing shall specify (i) the proposed Funding Date (which shall be a Business Day), (ii) the amount of the proposed Borrowing, (iii) the Revolving
22
Credit Availability as of the date of such Notice of Borrowing, (iv) whether the proposed Borrowing will be of Base Rate Loans or LIBOR Rate Loans, (v) in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, the requested LIBOR Interest Period and (vi) instructions for the disbursement of the proceeds of the proposed Borrowing. In lieu of delivering such a Notice of Borrowing (except with respect to a Borrowing of Loans on the Initial Funding Date), the Borrower may give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice of any proposed Borrowing by the time required under this Section 2.1(b), if the Borrower confirms such notice by delivery of the Notice of Borrowing to the Administrative Agent by facsimile transmission promptly, but in no event later than 12:00 noon (Boston time) on the same day. Any Notice of Borrowing (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof, when properly confirmed in accordance with this Section) given pursuant to this Section 2.1(b) shall be irrevocable.
(c) Making of Loans. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Borrowing under Section 2.1(b) (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender by facsimile transmission, or other similar form of transmission, of the proposed Borrowing (which notice to the Lenders, in the case of a Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans, shall be at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed Funding Date for such Loans). Each Lender shall deposit an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the Borrowing requested by the Borrower with the Administrative Agent at Administrative Agent's Head Office, in immediately available funds, not later than 12:00 noon (Boston time) on the respective Funding Date therefor. Subject to the fulfillment of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.1 or Section 5.2, as applicable, the Administrative Agent shall make the proceeds of such amounts received by it available to the Borrower at the Administrative Agent's Head Office on such Funding Date (or on the date received if later than such Funding Date) and shall disburse such proceeds in accordance with the Borrower's disbursement instructions set forth in the applicable Notice of Borrowing. The failure of any Lender to deposit the amount described above with the Administrative Agent on the applicable Funding Date shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligations hereunder to make its Loan on such Funding Date. In the event the conditions precedent set forth in Section 5.1 or 5.2 are not fulfilled as of the proposed Funding Date for any Borrowing, the Administrative Agent shall promptly return, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, the amount deposited by each Lender to such Lender.
(i) Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any Lender on the Business Day immediately preceding the applicable Funding Date in respect of any Borrowing that such Lender does not intend to fund its Loan requested to be made on such Funding Date, the Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has funded its Loan and is depositing the proceeds thereof with the Administrative Agent on the Funding Date therefor, and the Administrative Agent in its sole discretion may, but shall not be obligated to, disburse a corresponding amount to the Borrower on the applicable Funding Date. If the Loan proceeds corresponding to that amount are advanced to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent but are not in fact deposited with the Administrative Agent by such Lender on or prior to the applicable Funding Date, such Lender agrees to pay, and if not paid by such Lender on demand, in addition the Borrower agrees to repay, to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is disbursed to or for the benefit of the Borrower until the date such amount is paid or repaid to the Administrative Agent if paid by the Borrower, at the interest rate applicable to such Borrowing and if paid by such Lender at the Federal Funds Rate. If such Lender shall pay to the Administrative Agent the corresponding amount, the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender's Loan, and if both such Lender and Borrower shall pay and repay such corresponding amount of Administrative Agent's Loan, the Administrative Agent shall promptly pay the Borrower such corresponding amount. This Section 2.1(c)(ii) does not relieve any Lender of its obligation to make its Loan on any applicable Funding Date.

(d) other general and working capital needs of the Borrower, inclusive of repayment of Indebtedness for borrowed money;
each of which purposes described in clauses (a) through (d) above shall be lawful working capital purposes of the Borrower. The proceeds of the Loans shall not be used directly or indirectly to repurchase stock of TMC or OP Units, except with respect to any redemption of Series A Preferred Interests so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
2.3 Revolving Credit Termination Date. The Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate, and all outstanding Revolving Credit Obligations shall be paid in full, on the Revolving Credit Termination Date. Each Lender's obligation to make Loans shall terminate on the Business Day immediately preceding the Revolving Credit Termination Date.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at any time and from time to time from the Initial Funding Date through the day that is thirty (30) days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date, the Issuing Lender shall issue such Letters of Credit as the Borrower may request upon the delivery of a Letter of Credit Request to the Issuing Lender, provided that (i) no Potential Event of Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) upon issuance of such Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Obligations shall not exceed Twenty Million Dollars ($20,000,000.00), (iii) in no event shall the sum of (A) the Revolving Credit Obligations and (B) the amount of the Letter of Credit Obligations (after giving effect to all Letters of Credit requested and any Letters of Credit accepted but unpaid) exceed the Revolving Credit Availability, (iv) the conditions set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2, as applicable, shall have been satisfied, and (v) in no event shall any amount drawn under a Letter of Credit be available for reinstatement or a subsequent drawing under such Letter of Credit. Each Letter of Credit Request shall be executed by an Authorized Financial Officer of Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall be entitled to conclusively rely on such Person's authority to request a Letter of Credit on behalf of Borrower. The Issuing Lender shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of any signature appearing on a Letter of Credit Request. The Borrower assumes all risks with respect to the use of the Letters of Credit. Unless the Issuing Lender and the Requisite Lenders otherwise consent, the term of any Letter of Credit shall not exceed a period of time commencing on the issuance of the Letter of Credit and ending on the date which is fifteen (15) days prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date (but in any event the term shall not extend beyond the Business Day prior to the Revolving Credit Termination Date). The amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit shall reduce on a dollar-for-dollar basis the amount available to be drawn under the Revolving Credit Availability as a Loan.
24
(b) Each Letter of Credit Request shall be submitted to the Administrative Agent and the Issuing Lender at least ten (10) Business Days (or such shorter period as the Issuing Lender may approve) prior to the date upon which the requested Letter of Credit is to be issued. Each such Letter of Credit Request shall contain (i) a statement as to the purpose for which such Letter of Credit shall be used (which purpose shall be in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), and (ii) a certification by an authorized officer of Borrower that the Borrower and TMC are and will be in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Documents after giving effect to the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The Borrower shall further deliver to the Issuing Lender such additional applications and documents as the Issuing Lender may require, in conformity with the then standard practices of its letter of credit department, in connection with the issuance of such Letter of Credit; provided that in the event of any conflict, the terms of this Agreement shall control.
(c) The Issuing Lender shall, if it approves of the content of the Letter of Credit Request (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, issue the Letter of Credit on or before ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the documents last due pursuant to this Section 2.4(b). Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Issuing Lender. Upon issuance of a Letter of Credit, the Issuing Lender shall provide notice of the issuance of such Letter of Credit to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and shall provide a copy of such Letter of Credit to Administrative Agent and to any Lender that requests a copy.
(d) Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed to have purchased a participation therein from Issuing Lender in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount of such Letter of Credit. No Lender's obligation to participate in a Letter of Credit shall be affected by any other Lender's failure to perform as required herein with respect to such Letter of Credit or any other Letter of Credit.
(e) Upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, the Borrower shall pay to the Issuing Lender (i) for its own account, a Letter of Credit fee calculated at the rate of one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) per annum of the amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit (which fee shall not be less than $1,000.00 in any event), and (ii) for the accounts of the Lenders in accordance with their respective percentage shares of participation in such Letter of Credit, a Letter of Credit fee calculated at the rate per annum equal to the Applicable Margin then applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans on the amount available to be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such fees shall be payable in monthly installments in arrears with respect to each Letter of Credit on the first day of each month following the date of issuance and continuing on each month or portion thereof thereafter, as applicable, or on any earlier date on which the Revolving Credit Commitments shall terminate and on the expiration or return of any Letter of Credit. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to Issuing Lender for its own account within five (5) days of demand of Issuing Lender the standard issuance, documentation and service charges for Letters of Credit issued from time to time by Issuing Lender.
(f) In the event that any amount is drawn under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof, the Issuing Lender shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender by having such amount drawn treated as an outstanding Base Rate Loan under this Agreement and the Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender by telex, telecopy, telegram, telephone (confirmed in writing) or other similar means of transmission, and each Lender shall promptly and unconditionally pay to the Administrative Agent, for the Issuing Lender's own account, an amount equal to such Lender's Pro Rata Share of such Letter of Credit (to the extent of the amount drawn). If and to the extent any Lender shall not make such amount available on the Business Day on which such draw is funded, such Lender agrees to pay such amount to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand, together with interest thereon, for each day from the date on which such draw was funded until the date on which such amount is
25
paid to the Administrative Agent, at the Federal Funds Rate. Further, such Lender shall be deemed to have assigned any and all payments made of principal and interest on its Loans, amounts due with respect to its participations in Letters of Credit and any other amounts due to it hereunder to the Administrative Agent to fund the amount of any drawn Letter of Credit which such Lender was required to fund pursuant to this Section 2.4(f) until such amount has been funded (as a result of such assignment or otherwise). The failure of any Lender to make funds available to the Administrative Agent in such amount shall not relieve any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make funds available to the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.4(f).
(g) If after the issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4(c) by the Issuing Lender, but prior to the funding of any portion thereof by a Lender, one of the events described in Sections 10.1(f) or 10.1(g) shall have occurred, each Lender will, on the date such Loan pursuant to Section 2.4 was to have been made, purchase an undivided participation interest in the Letter of Credit in an amount equal to its Pro Rata Share of the amount of such Letter of Credit. Each Lender will immediately transfer to the Issuing Lender in immediately available funds the amount of its participation and upon receipt thereof the Issuing Lender will deliver to such Lender a Letter of Credit participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in such amount.
(h) Whenever at any time after the Issuing Lender has received from any Lender any such Lender's payment of funds under a Letter of Credit and thereafter the Issuing Lender receives any payment on account thereof, then the Issuing Lender will distribute to such Lender its participation interest in such amount (appropriately adjusted in the case of interest payments to reflect the period of time during which such Lender's participation interest was outstanding and funded); provided, however, that in the event that such payment received by the Issuing Lender is required to be returned, such Lender will return to the Issuing Lender any portion thereof previously distributed by the Issuing Lender to it.
(i) The issuance of any supplement, modification, amendment, renewal or extension to or of any Letter of Credit shall be treated in all respects the same as the issuance of a new Letter of Credit.
(j) Borrower assumes all risks of the acts, omissions, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof. Neither Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender nor any Lender will be responsible for (i) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any Letter of Credit or any document submitted by any party in connection with the issuance of any Letter of Credit, even if such document should in fact prove to be in any or all respects invalid, insufficient, inaccurate, fraudulent or forged; (ii) the form, validity, sufficiency, accuracy, genuineness or legal effect of any instrument transferring or assigning or purporting to transfer or assign any Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits thereunder or proceeds thereof in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (iii) failure of any beneficiary of any Letter of Credit to comply fully with the conditions required in order to demand payment under a Letter of Credit; (iv) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex or otherwise; (v) errors in interpretation of technical terms; (vi) any loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required by or from a beneficiary in order to make a disbursement under a Letter of Credit or the proceeds thereof; (vii) for the misapplication by the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of the proceeds of any drawing under such Letter of Credit; and (viii) for any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Administrative Agent or any Lender. None of the foregoing will affect, impair or prevent the vesting of any of the rights or powers granted to Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender or the Lenders hereunder. In furtherance and extension and not in limitation or derogation of any of the foregoing, any act taken or omitted to be taken by Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender or
26
the other Lenders in good faith will be binding on Borrower and will not put Administrative Agent, Issuing Lender or the other Lenders under any resulting liability to Borrower.
2.5 Maximum Credit Facility. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the aggregate Revolving Credit Obligations exceed the Revolving Credit Availability.
2.6 Authorized Agents. On the Closing Date and from time to time thereafter, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent an Officer's Certificate setting forth the names of the employees and agents authorized to request Loans or Letters of Credit and to request a conversion/continuation of any Loan and containing a specimen signature of each such employee or agent. The employees and agents so authorized shall also be authorized to act for the Borrower in respect of all other matters relating to the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely conclusively on such employee's or agent's authority to request such Loan or Letter of Credit or such conversion/continuation until the Administrative Agent receives written notice to the contrary. The Administrative Agent shall have no duty to verify the authenticity of the signature appearing on any written Notice of Borrowing, Letter of Credit Request or Notice of Conversion/Continuation or any other document, and, with respect to an oral request for such a Loan or a Letter of Credit or such conversion/continuation, the Administrative Agent shall have no duty to verify the identity of any person representing himself or herself as one of the employees or agents authorized to make such request or otherwise to act on behalf of the Borrower. None of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders shall incur any liability to the Borrower or any other Person in acting upon any telephonic or facsimile notice referred to above which the Administrative Agent or such Lender reasonably believes to have been given by a person duly authorized to act on behalf of the Borrower and the Borrower hereby indemnifies and holds harmless the Administrative Agent and each other Lender from any loss or expense the Administrative Agent or the Lenders incur in acting in good faith as provided in this Section 2.6, provided, however, that the Borrower shall not indemnify or hold harmless the Administrative Agent or any other Lender from any loss or expense incurred as the result of the Administrative Agent's or such Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct.
ARTICLE III
PAYMENTS AND PREPAYMENTS
3.1 Prepayments; Reductions in Revolving Credit Commitments.
(a) Voluntary Prepayments. The Borrower may, at any time and from time to time, prepay the Loans, in part or in their entirety, subject to the following limitations. The Borrower shall give at least two (2) Business Days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each Lender) of any prepayment in the entirety to be made prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, which notice of prepayment shall specify the date (which shall be a Business Day) of prepayment. When notice of prepayment is delivered as provided herein, the outstanding principal amount of the Loans to be prepaid on the prepayment date specified in the notice shall become due and payable on such prepayment date. Each voluntary partial prepayment of the Loans shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000. LIBOR Rate Loans may be prepaid in part or in their entirety only upon payment of the amounts described in Section 4.2(f).
(b) Voluntary Reductions In Revolving Credit Commitments. The Borrower may, upon at least ten (10) days' prior written notice to the Administrative Agent (which the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each Lender), at any time and from time to time, terminate in whole or permanently reduce in part the Revolving Credit Commitments; provided that the Borrower shall first have made whatever payment may be required to reduce the sum of the Revolving Credit Obligations and the Letter of Credit Obligations to an amount less than or equal to the Revolving Credit Commitments as reduced or terminated, which amount shall become due and payable on
27
the date specified in such notice. Any partial reduction of the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be in an aggregate minimum amount of $1,000,000, and shall reduce the Revolving Credit Commitment of each Lender proportionately in accordance with its Pro Rata Share; provided however, that without terminating the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Revolving Credit Commitments shall not be reduced below $75,000,000. Any notice of termination or reduction given to the Administrative Agent under this Section 3.1(b) shall specify the date (which shall be a Business Day) of such termination or reduction and, with respect to a partial reduction, the aggregate principal amount thereof. No reduction or termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments may be reinstated.
(c) No Penalty. The prepayments and payments in respect of reductions and terminations described in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 3.1 may be made without premium or penalty (except as provided in Section 4.2(f)).
(d) Mandatory Prepayment. If at any time from and after the Closing Date: (i) the Borrower merges or consolidates with another Person and the Borrower is not the surviving entity, or (ii) the Borrower or any Consolidated Subsidiary or any Minority Holding sells, transfers, assigns or conveys assets, the book value (of the Borrower) of which (computed in accordance with GAAP but without deduction for depreciation), in the aggregate of all such sales, transfers, assignments, foreclosures or conveyances would cause the Capitalization Value immediately after such sale to be less than 75% of the Capitalization Value set forth in the Compliance Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 5.1(j), or (iii) the portion of Capitalization Value attributable to the aggregate Limited Minority Holdings (exclusive of Limited Minority Holdings existing as of the Closing Date) of the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries exceeds 15% of the then Capitalization Value, or (iv) the Borrower and its Affiliates cease to provide property management and leasing services to Real Properties to which 75% of the Capitalization Value is attributable (the date any such event shall occur being the "Prepayment Date"), the Revolving Credit Commitments shall be terminated and the Borrower shall be required to prepay the Loans in their entirety and return any outstanding Letters of Credit as if the Prepayment Date were the Revolving Credit Termination Date. The Borrower shall immediately make such prepayment together with interest accrued to the date of the prepayment on the principal amount prepaid. In connection with the prepayment of any Loan prior to the maturity thereof, the Borrower shall also pay any applicable expenses pursuant to Section 4.2(f) . Each such prepayment shall be applied to prepay ratably the Loans of the Lenders. Amounts prepaid pursuant to this Section 3.1(d) may not be reborrowed. As used in this Section 3.1(d) only, the phrase "sells, transfers, assigns or conveys" shall not include (i) sales or conveyances among the Borrower and any Consolidated Subsidiaries, (ii) mortgages secured by Real Property, or (iii) sales or conveyances of Securities in the Borrower or TMC or in newly-formed Subsidiaries or Minority Holdings in connection with the acquisition of Real Property.
3.2 Payments.
(a) Manner and Time of Payment. All payments of principal of and interest on the Loans and other obligations (including, without limitation, fees and expenses) which are payable to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall be made without setoff, counterclaim, condition or reservation of right, in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds, transmitted to the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m. (Boston time) on the date and at the place due, to such account of the Administrative Agent as it may designate, for the account of the Administrative Agent or such other Lender, as the case may be; and funds received by the Administrative Agent, including, without limitation, funds in respect of any Loans to be made on that date, not later than 11:00 a.m. (Boston time) on any given Business Day shall be credited against payment to be made that day and funds received by the Administrative Agent after that time shall be deemed to have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day. Payments actually
28
received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, or any of them, shall be paid to them by the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds promptly after receipt thereof.
(b) Apportionment of Payments. (i) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.2(b)(v), all payments of principal and interest in respect of outstanding Loans, all payments of fees and all other payments in respect of any other Obligations, shall be allocated among such of the Lenders as are entitled thereto, in proportion to their respective Pro Rata Shares or otherwise as provided herein. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.2(b)(ii), all such payments and any other amounts received by the Administrative Agent from or for the benefit of the Borrower shall be applied in the following order:
(A) to pay all Obligations then due and payable, and
(B) as the Borrower so designates.
In the event that the Administrative Agent (at its sole discretion, as provided in Section 2.1(c)(ii)) shall have advanced any Loan on behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not been reimbursed by the Borrower or Lender, then any payment to be made to such Lender under this Agreement shall first be paid to the Administrative Agent until the Administrative Agent has received all principal of and interest on any portion of the Loans which the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of such Lender. Unless otherwise designated by the Borrower, all principal payments in respect of Loans shall be applied first, to repay outstanding Base Rate Loans, and then to repay outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans, with those LIBOR Rate Loans which have earlier expiring LIBOR Interest Periods being repaid prior to those which have later expiring LIBOR Interest Periods.
(ii) After the occurrence of an Event of Default and while the same is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall apply all payments in respect of any Obligations in the following order:
(A) first, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent and not as Lender hereunder;
(B) second, to pay Obligations in respect of any fees, expense reimbursements or indemnities then due to the Lenders;
(C) third, to pay interest then due in respect of Loans;
(D) fourth, to the ratable payment or prepayment of principal outstanding on Loans; and
(E) fifth, to the ratable payment of all other Obligations.
In the event that the Administrative Agent (at its sole discretion, as provided in Section 2.1(c)(ii)) shall have advanced any Loan on behalf of any Lender for which the Administrative Agent has not been reimbursed by the Borrower or Lender, then any payment to be made to such Lender under this Agreement shall first be paid to the Administrative Agent until the Administrative Agent has received all principal of and interest on any portion of the Loans which the Administrative Agent may have advanced on behalf of such Lender. The order of priority set forth in this Section 3.2(b)(ii) and the related provisions of this Agreement are set forth solely to determine the rights and priorities of the Administrative Agent, the other Lenders and other Holders as among themselves. The order of priority set forth in clauses (B) through (E) of this Section 3.2(b)(ii) may at any time and from time to time be changed by the Requisite Lenders without necessity of notice to or consent of or approval by the Borrower, any Holder which is not a Lender, or any other Person; provided, however, no such change shall favor one Lender over any other Lender. The order of priority as to payments due to the Administrative Agent with respect to Loans made on
29
behalf of another Lender may be changed only with the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.
(iii) Upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent, in its sole discretion subject only to the terms of this Section 3.2(b)(iii), may pay from the proceeds of Loans made to the Borrower hereunder, whether made following a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.1 or a deemed request as provided in this Section 3.2(b)(iii), all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder, including, without limitation, amounts payable with respect to payments of principal, interest and fees, all reimbursements for expenses pursuant to Section 13.2 and amounts that may be drawn under Letters of Credit. The Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Lenders, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Event of Default, to make Loans, which Loans shall be Base Rate Loans, in each case, upon notice from the Administrative Agent as described in the following sentence for the purpose of paying principal, interest and fees due from the Borrower, reimbursing expenses pursuant to Section 13.2, paying amounts that are drawn under Letters of Credit and paying any and all other amounts due and payable by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes, and agrees that all such Loans so made shall be deemed to have been requested by it pursuant to Section 2.1 as of the date of the aforementioned notice. If demanded by Administrative Agent in its absolute and sole discretion after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower will deposit with and pledge to Administrative Agent cash in an amount equal to the amount of all Letter of Credit Obligations. Such amounts will be pledged to and held by Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders as security for any Letter of Credit Obligations and all other Obligations. Upon any draws under Letters of Credit, at Administrative Agent's sole discretion, Administrative Agent may apply any such amounts to the repayment of amounts drawn thereunder and upon the expiration of the Letters of Credit any remaining amounts will be applied to the payment of all other Obligations or if there are no outstanding Obligations and the Lenders have no further obligation to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit, such proceeds deposited by Borrower will be released to Borrower. The Administrative Agent shall request Loans on behalf of the Borrower as described in this section by notifying the Lenders by facsimile transmission or other similar form of transmission (which notice the Administrative Agent shall thereafter promptly transmit to the Borrower), of the amount and Funding Date of the proposed Borrowing and that such Borrowing is being requested on the Borrower's behalf pursuant to this Section 3.2(b)(iii). On the proposed Funding Date, the Lenders shall make the requested Loans in accordance with the procedures and subject to the conditions specified in Section 2.1.
(iv) Subject to Section 3.2(b)(v), the Administrative Agent shall promptly distribute to each other Lender at its primary address set forth on the appropriate signature page hereof or the signature page to the Assignment and Acceptance by which it became a Lender, or at such other address as a Lender or other Holder may request in writing, such funds as such Person may be entitled to receive, subject to the provisions of Article XI; provided that the Administrative Agent shall under no circumstances be bound to inquire into or determine the validity, scope or priority of any interest or entitlement of any Holder and may suspend all payments or seek appropriate relief (including, without limitation, instructions from the Requisite Lenders or an action in the nature of interpleader) in the event of any doubt or dispute as to any apportionment or distribution contemplated hereby.
(v) In the event that any Lender fails to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Loan requested by the Borrower which such Lender is obligated to fund under the terms of this Agreement (the funded portion of such Loan being hereinafter referred to as a "Non Pro Rata Loan"), until the earlier of such Lender's cure of such failure and the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, the proceeds of all amounts thereafter repaid to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower and otherwise required to be applied to such Lender's share of all other Obligations
30
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement shall be advanced to the Borrower by the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Lender to cure, in full or in part, such failure by such Lender, but shall nevertheless be deemed to have been paid to such Lender in satisfaction of such other Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary:
(A) the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.2(b)(v) shall apply only with respect to the proceeds of payments of Obligations and shall not affect the conversion or continuation of Loans pursuant to Section 4.1(c);
(B) a Lender shall be deemed to have cured its failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Loan (without waiver by the Borrower of any claim against such Lender arising as a consequence of such failure) at such time as an amount equal to such Lender's original Pro Rata Share of the requested principal portion of such Loan (as reduced by such Lender's Pro Rata Share of any principal prepayments occurring after the date of such Non Pro Rata Loan) is fully funded to the Borrower, whether made by such Lender itself or by operation of the terms of this Section 3.2(b)(v), and whether or not the Non Pro Rata Loan with respect thereto has been repaid, converted or continued;
(C) amounts advanced to the Borrower to cure, in full or in part, any such Lender's failure to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Loan ("Cure Loans") shall bear interest at the same rate as, and for all other purposes of this Agreement shall be treated as if they were Loans similar to, the advances that would have been made had such Lender advanced its Pro Rata Share of the requested Loan; and
(D) regardless of whether or not an Event of Default has occurred or is continuing, and notwithstanding the instructions of the Borrower as to its desired application, all repayments of principal which, in accordance with the other terms of this Section 3.2, would be applied to the outstanding Base Rate Loans shall be applied first, ratably to all Base Rate Loans constituting Non Pro Rata Loans, second, ratably to Base Rate Loans other than those constituting Non Pro Rata Loans or Cure Loans and, third, ratably to Base Rate Loans constituting Cure Loans.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 3.2(b)(v) shall not apply to Loans to be made pursuant to Section 2.4(f) or to a failure of a Lender to fund its Pro Rata Share of an advance under a Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.4(g).
(c) Payments on Non-Business Days. Whenever any payment to be made by the Borrower hereunder or under the Notes is stated to be due on a day which is not a Business Day, the payment shall instead be due on the next succeeding Business Day (or, as set forth in Section 4.2(b)(iii), the next preceding Business Day).
(d) Obligations Absolute. The obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders under this Agreement (and of the Lenders to make payments to the Issuing Lender with respect to Letters of Credit) shall be absolute, unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid and performed strictly in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, under all circumstances whatsoever, including, without limitation, the following circumstances: (i) any lack of validity or enforceability of this Agreement, any Letter of Credit or any of the other Loan Documents; (ii) any improper use which may be made of any Letter of Credit or any improper acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit in connection therewith; (iii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or any right which the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates may have at any time against any beneficiary or any transferee of any Letter of Credit (or persons or entities for whom any such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting) or the Lender (other than the defense of payment to the Lenders in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or any other person, whether in connection with any Letter of Credit, this Agreement, any other Loan
31
Document, or any unrelated transaction; (iv) any draft, demand, certificate, statement or any other documents presented under any Letter of Credit proving to be insufficient, forged, fraudulent or invalid in any respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect whatsoever; (v) any breach of any agreement between Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries or Affiliates and any beneficiary or transferee of any Letter of Credit; (vi) any irregularity in the transaction with respect to which any Letter of Credit is issued, including any fraud by the beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit; (vii) payment by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a sight draft, demand, certificate or other document which does not comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit, provided that such payment shall not have constituted gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender; (viii) any non-application or misapplication by the beneficiary of a Letter of Credit of the proceeds of such Letter of Credit; (ix) the legality, validity, form, regularity or enforceability of the Letter of Credit; (x) the failure of any payment by Issuing Lender to conform to the terms of a Letter of Credit (if, in Issuing Lender's good faith judgment, such payment is determined to be appropriate); (xi) the surrender or impairment of any security for the performance or observance of any of the terms of any of the Loan Documents; (xii) the occurrence of any Event of Default or Potential Event of Default; and (xiii) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing, provided that such other circumstances or happenings shall not have been the result of gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of the Issuing Lender.
(e) Distribution of Payments. If in the opinion of the Administrative Agent the distribution of any amount received by it in such capacity hereunder, under the Notes or under any of the other Loan Documents might involve it in liability, it may refrain from making distribution until its right to make distribution shall have been adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction. If a court of competent jurisdiction shall adjudge that any amount received and distributed by the Administrative Agent is to be repaid, each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the Administrative Agent its proportionate share of the amount so adjudged to be repaid or shall pay over the same in such manner and to such Persons as shall be determined by such court.
3.3 Promise to Repay; Evidence of Indebtedness.
(a) Promise to Repay. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay when due the principal amount of each Loan which is made, and further, agrees to pay all unpaid interest accrued thereon, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Notes. The Borrower shall execute and deliver to each Lender on the Closing Date, a Note evidencing the Loans and thereafter shall execute and deliver such other Notes as are necessary to evidence the Loans owing to the Lenders after giving effect to any assignment thereof pursuant to Section 13.1, all in form and substance acceptable to the Administrative Agent and the parties to such assignment (all such promissory notes and all amendments thereto, replacements thereof and substitutions therefor being collectively referred to as the "Notes"; and "Note" means any one of the Notes).
(b) Loan Account. Each Lender shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice an account or accounts (a "Loan Account") evidencing the Indebtedness of the Borrower to such Lender resulting from each Loan owing to such Lender from time to time, including the amount of principal and interest payable and paid to such Lender from time to time hereunder and under the Notes.
(c) Control Account. The Register maintained by the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 13.1(c) shall include a control account, and a subsidiary account for each Lender, in which accounts (taken together) shall be recorded (i) the date and amount of each Borrowing made hereunder, the type of Loan comprising such Borrowing and any LIBOR Interest Period applicable thereto, (ii) the effective date and amount of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and
32
accepted by it and the parties thereto, (iii) the amount of any principal or interest due and payable or to become due and payable from the Borrower to each Lender hereunder or under the Notes and (iv) the amount of any sum received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower hereunder and each Lender's share thereof.
(d) Entries Binding. The entries made in the Register and each Loan Account shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
ARTICLE IV
INTEREST AND FEES
4.1 Interest on the Loans and other Obligations.
(a) Rate of Interest. All Loans and the outstanding principal balance of all other Obligations shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date such Loans are made and such other Obligations are due and payable until paid in full, except as otherwise provided in Section 4.1(d), as follows:
(i) If a Base Rate Loan or an Obligation other than a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate, as in effect from time to time as interest accrues, plus (B) the then Applicable Margin for Base Rate Loans; and
(ii) If a LIBOR Rate Loan, at a rate per annum equal to the sum of (A) the LIBOR Rate determined for the applicable LIBOR Interest Period, plus (B) the then Applicable Margin for LIBOR Rate Loans.
The applicable basis for determining the rate of interest on the Loans shall be selected by the Borrower at the time a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation is delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent; provided, however, that the Borrower may not select the LIBOR Rate as the applicable basis for determining the rate of interest on such a Loan if at the time of such selection an Event of Default or a Potential Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and further provided, that from and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, each LIBOR Rate Loan then outstanding may, at the Administrative Agent's option, convert to a Base Rate Loan. If on any day any Loan is outstanding with respect to which notice has not been timely delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement specifying the basis for determining the rate of interest on that day, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have submitted a Notice of Conversion/Continuation with respect to the full amount of such LIBOR Loan requesting a Base Rate Loan.
(b) Interest Payments. (i) Interest accrued on each Loan, whether a Base Rate Loan or a LIBOR Rate Loan, shall be calculated and payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month commencing on the first such day following the making of such Loan and if not theretofore paid in full, at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of such Loan.
(ii) Interest accrued on the principal balance of all other Obligations shall be calculated and payable in arrears on the first Business Day of each calendar month, commencing on the first such day following the incurrence of such Obligation and if not theretofore paid in full, at the time such other Obligation becomes due and payable (whether by acceleration or otherwise).
33
(c) Conversion or Continuation. The Borrower shall have the option (A) to convert at any time all or any part of outstanding Base Rate Loans to LIBOR Rate Loans; (B) to convert all or any part of outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans having LIBOR Interest Periods which expire on the same date to Base Rate Loans on such expiration date; or (C) to continue all or any part of outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans having LIBOR Interest Periods which expire on the same date as LIBOR Rate Loans, and the succeeding LIBOR Interest Period of such continued Loans, shall commence on such expiration date; provided, however, no such outstanding Loan may be continued as, or be converted into, a LIBOR Rate Loan (i) if the continuation of, or the conversion into, would violate any of the provisions of Section 4.2 or (ii) if an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. Any conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans under this Section 4.1(c) shall be in a minimum amount of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount, except in the case of a conversion into or a continuation of an entire Borrowing of Non Pro Rata Loans outstanding at any one time.
(i) To convert or continue a Loan under Section 4.1(c)(i), the Borrower shall deliver a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to the Administrative Agent no later than 11:00 a.m. (Boston time) at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date. A Notice of Conversion/ Continuation shall specify (A) the proposed conversion/continuation date (which shall be a Business Day), (B) the principal amount of the Loan to be converted/continued, (C) whether such Loan shall be converted and/or continued, and (D) in the case of a conversion to, or continuation of, a LIBOR Rate Loan, the requested LIBOR Interest Period. In lieu of delivering a Notice of Conversion/ Continuation, the Borrower may give the Administrative Agent telephonic notice of any proposed conversion/ continuation by the time required under this Section 4.1(c)(ii), if the Borrower confirms such notice by delivery of the Notice of Conversion/Continuation to the Administrative Agent by facsimile transmission promptly, but in no event later than 12:00 p.m. (Boston time) on the same day. Promptly after receipt of a Notice of Conversion/Continuation under this Section 4.1(c)(ii) (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof), the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender by facsimile transmission, or other similar form of transmission, of the proposed conversion/continuation. Any Notice of Conversion/Continuation for conversion to, or continuation of, a Loan (or telephonic notice in lieu thereof) given pursuant to this Section 4.1(c)(ii) shall be irrevocable, and the Borrower shall be bound to convert or continue in accordance therewith. In the event no Notice of Conversion/Continuation is delivered at least three (3) Business Days in advance of the proposed conversion/continuation date with respect to outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans, upon the expiration of the LIBOR Interest Period applicable thereto, such Loans shall automatically be converted to Base Rate Loans. If on any day any Loan is outstanding with respect to which notice has not been timely delivered to the Administrative Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement specifying the basis for determining the rate of interest on that day, then the Borrower shall be deemed to have submitted a Notice of Conversion/Continuation with respect to the full amount of such LIBOR Loan requesting a Base Rate Loan.
(d) Default Interest. Notwithstanding the rates of interest specified in Section 4.1(a) or elsewhere in this Agreement, effective immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and for as long thereafter as such Event of Default shall be continuing, the principal balance of all Loans and other Obligations shall bear interest at a rate equal to the sum of (A) the Base Rate, as in effect from time to time as interest accrues, plus (B) three percent (3.0%) per annum. In addition, a late charge of five percent (5%) of the amount of any installment which is not paid on or within ten (10) days after the due date thereof shall be due and payable to the Lenders to cover the extra expense involved in handling delinquent payments. Said "late charge" shall be due and payable on demand by Administrative Agent.
34
(e) Computation of Interest. Interest on all Obligations shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in the period during which interest accrues and a year of 360 days. In computing interest on any Loan, the date of the making of the Loan or the first day of a LIBOR Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be excluded and the date of payment or the expiration date of a LIBOR Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be included; provided, however, if a Loan is repaid on the same day on which it is made, one (1) day's interest shall be paid on such Loan.
(f) LIBOR Rate Information. Upon the reasonable request of the Borrower from time to time, the Administrative Agent shall promptly provide to the Borrower such information with respect to the applicable LIBOR Rate as may be so requested.
4.2 Special Provisions Governing LIBOR Rate Loans.
(a) Amount of LIBOR Rate Loans. Each LIBOR Rate Loan shall be in a minimum principal amount of $1,000,000 and in integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess of that amount.
(b) Determination of LIBOR Interest Period. By giving notice as set forth in Section 2.1(b) (with respect to a Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans) or Section 4.1(c) (with respect to a conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans), the Borrower shall have the option, subject to the other provisions of this Section 4.2, to select an interest period (each, a "LIBOR Interest Period") to apply to the Loans described in such notice, subject to the following provisions:
(i) The Borrower may only select, as to a particular Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans, a LIBOR Interest Period of weekly (with the approval of all Lenders) or one, two, three or six months or one year in duration, if available to all Lenders;
(ii) In the case of immediately successive LIBOR Interest Periods applicable to a Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans, each successive LIBOR Interest Period shall commence on the day on which the next preceding LIBOR Interest Period expires;
(iii) If any LIBOR Interest Period would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day, such LIBOR Interest Period shall be extended to expire on the next succeeding Business Day if the next succeeding Business Day occurs in the same calendar month, and if there will be no succeeding Business Day in such calendar month, the LIBOR Interest Period shall expire on the immediately preceding Business Day;
(iv) The Borrower may not select a LIBOR Interest Period as to any Loan if such LIBOR Interest Period terminates later than the Revolving Credit Termination Date; and
(v) There shall be no more than seven (7) LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any one time.
(c) Determination of LIBOR Interest Rate. As soon as practicable on the second LIBOR Business Day prior to the first day of each LIBOR Interest Period (the "LIBOR Interest Rate Determination Date"), the Administrative Agent shall determine (pursuant to the procedures set forth in the definition of "LIBOR Rate") the interest rate which shall apply to the LIBOR Rate Loans for which an interest rate is then being determined for the applicable LIBOR Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower and to each Lender. The Administrative Agent's determination shall be presumed to be correct, absent manifest error, and shall be binding upon the Borrower.
35
(d) Interest Rate Unascertainable, Inadequate or Unfair. In the event that at least one (1) Business Day before the LIBOR Interest Rate Determination Date:
(i) the Administrative Agent is advised by the Reference Bank that deposits in Dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not being offered to the Reference Bank in the London interbank market for such LIBOR Interest Period; or
(ii) the Administrative Agent determines that adequate and fair means do not exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rates by reference to which the LIBOR Rate then being determined is to be fixed; or
(iii) the Requisite Lenders advise the Administrative Agent that the LIBOR Rate for LIBOR Rate Loans comprising such Borrowing will not adequately reflect the cost to such Requisite Lenders of obtaining funds in Dollars in the London interbank market in the amount substantially equal to such Lenders' LIBOR Rate Loans in Dollars and for a period equal to such LIBOR Interest Period;
then the Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Borrower, whereupon (until the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist) the right of the Borrower to elect to have Loans bear interest based upon the LIBOR Rate shall be suspended and each outstanding LIBOR Rate Loan shall be converted into a Base Rate Loan on the last day of the then current LIBOR Interest Period therefor, notwithstanding any prior election by the Borrower to the contrary.
(e) Illegality. (i) If at any time any Lender determines (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding upon all parties) that the making or continuation of any LIBOR Rate Loan has become unlawful or impermissible by compliance by that Lender with any law, governmental rule, regulation or order of any Governmental Authority (whether or not having the force of law and whether or not failure to comply therewith would be unlawful or would result in costs or penalties), then, and in any such event, such Lender may give notice of that determination, in writing, to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender.
(ii) When notice is given by a Lender under Section 4.2(e)(i), (A) the Borrower's right to request from such Lender and such Lender's obligation, if any, to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall be immediately suspended, and such Lender shall make a Base Rate Loan as part of any requested Borrowing of LIBOR Rate Loans and (B) if the affected LIBOR Rate Loan or Loans are then outstanding, the Borrower shall immediately, or if permitted by applicable law, no later than the date permitted thereby, upon at least one (1) Business Day's prior written notice to the Administrative Agent and the affected Lender, convert each such Loan into a Base Rate Loan.
(iii) If at any time after a Lender gives notice under Section 4.2(e)(i) such Lender determines that it may lawfully make LIBOR Rate Loans, such Lender shall promptly give notice of that determination, in writing, to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit the notice to each other Lender. The Borrower's right to request, and such Lender's obligation, if any, to make LIBOR Rate Loans shall thereupon be restored.
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Lender gives such a notice, at the Borrower's sole election, the Borrower may identify an Eligible Assignee not giving such a notice to whom the Lender which has given such a notice shall assign its interest in the Loans at par pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and Acceptance substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A.
36
(f) Compensation. In addition to all amounts required to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.1 and Article XII, the Borrower shall compensate each Lender, upon demand, for all losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss or expense incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds acquired by such Lender to fund or maintain such Lender's LIBOR Rate Loans to the Borrower but excluding losses or expenses incurred as the result of such Lender's gross negligence or willful misconduct) which that Lender may sustain (i) if for any reason a Borrowing, conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans does not occur on a date specified therefor in a Notice of Borrowing or a Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrower or in a telephonic request by it for borrowing or conversion/continuation or a successive LIBOR Interest Period does not commence after notice therefor is given pursuant to Section 4.1(c), including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 4.2(d), (ii) if for any reason any LIBOR Rate Loan is prepaid (including, without limitation, mandatorily pursuant to Section 3.1(d)) on a date which is not the last day of the applicable LIBOR Interest Period, (iii) as a consequence of a required conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan as a result of any of the events indicated in Section 4.2(d), or (iv) as a consequence of any failure by the Borrower to repay a LIBOR Rate Loan when required by the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, an amount equal to daily interest for the unexpired portion of such LIBOR Interest Period on the LIBOR Rate Loan or portion thereof so repaid or converted at a per annum rate equal to the excess, if any, of (A) the interest rate calculated on the basis of the LIBOR Rate applicable to such LIBOR Rate Loan minus (B) the LIBOR Rate in effect as of such repayment or conversion which has a maturity date most closely approximating the last day of such existing LIBOR Interest Period. Such amount shall be reduced to present value by using the LIBOR Rate for the new interest period and the number of days remaining in the unexpired portion of the LIBOR Interest Period in question. The Lender making demand for such compensation shall deliver to Administrative Agent who shall forward to the Borrower, concurrently with such demand, a written statement setting forth in reasonable detail such losses, expenses and liabilities, and such statement shall be conclusive as to the amount of compensation due to that Lender, absent manifest error.
(g) Booking of LIBOR Rate Loans. Any Lender may make, carry or transfer LIBOR Rate Loans at, to, or for the account of, its LIBOR Lending Office or LIBOR Affiliate or its other offices or Affiliates. No Lender shall be entitled, however, to receive any greater amount under Sections 3.2 or 4.2(f) or Article XII as a result of the transfer of any such LIBOR Rate Loan to any office (other than such LIBOR Lending office) or any Affiliate (other than such LIBOR Affiliate) than such Lender would have been entitled to receive immediately prior thereto, unless (i) the transfer occurred at a time when circumstances giving rise to the claim for such greater amount did not exist and (ii) such claim would have arisen even if such transfer had not occurred.
(h) Affiliates Not Obligated. No LIBOR Affiliate or other Affiliate of any Lender shall be deemed a party to this Agreement or shall have any liability or obligation under this Agreement unless such LIBOR Affiliate, itself, is a Lender.
(i) Adjusted LIBOR Rate. Any failure by Administrative Agent to take into account the LIBOR Reserve Percentage when calculating interest due on LIBOR Rate Loans shall not constitute, whether by course of dealing or otherwise, a waiver by Administrative Agent or the Lenders of their right to collect such amount for any future period.
4.3 Fees.
(a) Unused Facility Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the account of the Lenders based on their respective Pro Rata Shares, a fee (the "Unused Facility Fee"), accruing at a per annum rate as set forth below on the average daily amount by which the total Revolving Credit Commitments exceed the outstanding principal amount of Loans and the
37
Letter of Credit Obligations during such month or portion thereof. The Unused Facility Fee shall be calculated for each day based on the ratio (expressed as a percentage) of (a) the average daily amount of the outstanding principal amount of the Loans and the Letter of Credit Obligations during such month to (b) the total Revolving Credit Commitments, and if such ratio is less than fifty percent (50%), the Unused Facility Fee shall be payable at the rate of 0.25%, and if such ratio is equal to or greater than fifty percent (50%), the Unused Facility Fee shall be payable at the rate of 0.20%. Such fee shall be payable quarterly, in arrears, commencing on the Closing Date and on the first Business Day of each calendar quarter thereafter. The Unused Facility Fee shall also be payable upon any termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments, which payment shall be prorated for any partial quarter during which termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments occurs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Lender fails to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Loan requested by the Borrower which such Lender is obligated to fund under the terms of this Agreement, (A) the portion of the Unused Facility Fee with respect to such Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment shall xxxxx until such failure has been cured in accordance with Section 3.2(b)(v)(B) and (B) until such time, the Unused Facility Fee shall accrue in favor of the Lenders which have funded their respective Pro Rata Shares of such requested Loan, shall be allocated among such performing Lenders ratably based upon their relative Revolving Credit Commitments.
(b) Administrative Agent's Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent, for the Administrative Agent's own account, an annual Administrative Agent's fee as provided in the Agreement Regarding Fees. The Administrative Agent's fee shall be payable monthly in arrears on the first day of each month for the immediately preceding month or portion thereof. The Administrative Agent's fee shall also be paid upon the Revolving Credit Termination Date or earlier termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments. The Administrative Agent's fee for any partial month shall be prorated.
(c) Calculation and Payment of Fees. All fees shall be calculated on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during the relevant period in a 360-day year. All fees shall be payable in addition to, and not in lieu of, interest, compensation, expense reimbursements, indemnification and other Obligations. Fees shall be payable to the Administrative Agent at Administrative Agent's Head Office in immediately available funds. All fees shall be fully earned and nonrefundable when paid. All fees due to any other Lender, including, without limitation, those referred to in this Section 4.3, shall bear interest, if not paid when due, at the interest rate specified in Section 4.1(d) and shall constitute Obligations.
(d) Limitation on Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents to the contrary, all agreements between or among the Borrower and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are hereby limited so that in no contingency, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of any of the Obligations or otherwise, shall the interest contracted for, charged or received by the Lenders exceed the maximum amount permissible under applicable law. If, from any circumstance whatsoever, interest would otherwise be payable to the Lenders in excess of the maximum lawful amount, the interest payable to the Lenders shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted under applicable law; and if from any circumstance the Lenders shall ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law in excess of the maximum lawful amount, an amount equal to any excessive interest shall be applied to the reduction of the principal balance of the Obligations and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of the Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrower. All interest paid or agreed to be paid to the Lenders shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the full period until payment in full of the principal of the Obligations (including the period of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest
38
thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This section shall control all agreements between the Borrower and the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.

Neither Borrower nor TMC nor any ERISA Affiliate has failed to make a required installment or any other required payment under Section 412 of the Internal Revenue Code on or before the due date for such installment or other payment. Neither Borrower nor TMC nor any ERISA Affiliate is required to provide security to a Benefit Plan under Section 401(a)(29) of the Internal Revenue Code due to a Benefit Plan amendment that results in an increase in current liability for the plan year.

Schedule 6.1-T accurately sets forth as of the Closing Date all material insurance policies and programs currently in effect with respect to the respective Property and assets and business of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, specifying for each such policy and program, (i) the amount thereof, (ii) the risks insured against thereby, (iii) the name of the insurer and each insured party thereunder, (iv) the policy or other identification number thereof, and (v) the expiration date thereof. Such insurance policies and programs are currently in full force and effect, in compliance with the requirements of Section 8.5 hereof and, together with payment by the insured of scheduled deductible payments, are in amounts sufficient to cover the replacement value of the respective Property and assets of the Borrower and/or its Subsidiaries.
(u) REIT Status. TMC qualifies as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code.
(v) Ownership of Property. Ownership of at least 80% of the Property of the Consolidated Businesses is held by the Borrower and its Subsidiaries.

(m) Certain Defaults Pertaining to TMC. TMC shall fail to (i) maintain its status as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, (ii) continue as the sole general partner of the Borrower and control the management and direction of the Borrower, (iii) comply in all material respects with all Requirements of Law applicable to it and its businesses and Properties, in each case where the failure to so comply individually or in the aggregate will have or is reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect, (iv) remain listed on the New York Stock Exchange or other national stock exchange, or (v) file all tax returns and reports required to be filed by it with any Governmental Authority as and when required to be filed or to pay any taxes, assessments, fees or other governmental charges upon it or its Property, assets, receipts, sales, use, payroll, employment, licenses, income, or franchises which are shown in such returns, reports or similar statements to be due and payable as and when due and payable, except for taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges (A) that are being contested by TMC in good faith by an appropriate proceeding diligently pursued, (B) for which adequate reserves have been made on its books and records, and (C) the amounts the non-payment of which would not, individually or in the aggregate, result in a Material Adverse Effect.
64
(n) Merger or Liquidation of the Borrower. Either the Borrower or TMC shall merge or liquidate with or into any other Person other than an Affiliate and, as a result thereof and after giving effect thereto, (i) the Borrower or TMC, as the case may be, is not the surviving Person or (ii) such merger or liquidation would effect an acquisition of or Investment in any Person not otherwise permitted under the terms of this Agreement.
(o) Term Loan Agreement. The occurrence of an "Event of Default" as defined in the Term Loan Agreement.
(p) Change in Control. The occurrence of a Change in Control.
(q) Put Option. Any holder of the Series A Preferred Interests shall exercise any right or option to require TMC or Borrower to redeem, repurchase or otherwise prepay any of such Series A Preferred Interests, or shall have any right to exercise such right or option.
An Event of Default shall be deemed "continuing" until cured or waived in writing in accordance with Section 13.7.
10.2 Rights and Remedies.
(a) Acceleration and Termination. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 10.1(f) or 10.1(g), the Revolving Credit Commitments and the obligation to issue Letters of Credit shall automatically and immediately terminate and the unpaid principal amount of, and any and all accrued interest on, the Obligations and shall automatically become immediately due and payable, without presentment, demand, or protest or other requirements of any kind (including, without limitation, valuation and appraisement, diligence, presentment, notice of intent to demand or accelerate and of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any other Event of Default, the Administrative Agent may, in Administrative Agent's reasonable discretion, and shall, at the request of the Requisite Lenders, by written notice to the Borrower, (i) declare that the Revolving Credit Commitments are terminated, whereupon the Revolving Credit Commitments and the obligation of each Lender to make any Loan or issue any Letter of Credit hereunder shall immediately terminate, and/or (ii) declare the unpaid principal amount of and any and all accrued and unpaid interest on the obligations to be, and the same shall thereupon be, immediately due and payable, without any other presentment, demand, or protest or other requirements of any kind (including, without limitation, valuation and appraisement, diligence, presentment, notice of intent to demand or accelerate and of acceleration), all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower. Administrative Agent may also exercise its rights and remedies pursuant to Section 3.2(b)(iii). In case any one or more of the Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and whether or not the Administrative Agent or the Requisite Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans pursuant to Section 10.2(a), the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders may, and upon direction from the Requisite Lenders shall, proceed to protect and enforce their rights and remedies under this Agreement, the Notes or any of the other Loan Documents by suit in equity, action at law or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any instrument pursuant to which the Obligations are evidenced, including to the full extent permitted by applicable law the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, and, if such amount shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, proceed to enforce the payment thereof or any other legal or equitable right.
(b) Rescission. If at any time after termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or acceleration of the maturity of the Loans, the Borrower shall pay all arrears of interest and all payments on account of principal of the Loans or with respect to Letters of Credit which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest on principal and, to the extent
65
permitted by law, on overdue interest, at the rates specified in this Agreement) and all Events of Default and Potential Events of Default (other than nonpayment of principal of and accrued interest on the Loans due and payable solely by virtue of acceleration) shall be remedied or waived pursuant to Section 13.7, then upon the written consent of the Requisite Lenders and written notice to the Borrower, the termination of the Revolving Credit Commitments and/or the acceleration and the consequences thereof may be rescinded and annulled; but such action shall not affect any subsequent Event of Default or Potential Event of Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. The provisions of the preceding sentence are intended merely to bind the Lenders to a decision which may be made at the election of the Requisite Lenders; they are not intended to benefit the Borrower and do not give the Borrower the right to require the Lenders to rescind or annul any acceleration hereunder, even if the conditions set forth herein are met.
(c) Enforcement. The Borrower acknowledges that in the event the Borrower or TMC or any of their respective Subsidiaries fails to perform, observe or discharge any of their respective obligations or liabilities under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, any remedy of law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders; therefore, the Borrower agrees that the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall be entitled to temporary and permanent injunctive relief in any such case without the necessity of proving actual damages.
ARTICLE XI
THE AGENT
11.1 Appointment. (a) Each Lender hereby designates and appoints Fleet as the Administrative Agent of such Lender under this Agreement, and each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents and to exercise such powers as are set forth herein or therein together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees that it shall administer this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and service the Loans with the same degree of care as Administrative Agent would use in servicing a loan of similar size and type for its own account. The Administrative Agent agrees to act as such on the express conditions contained in this Article XI. The Administrative Agent may exercise its powers and execute its duties by or through employees or agents and shall be entitled to take, and to rely on, advice of counsel concerning all matters pertaining to its rights and duties under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as the Administrative Agent may reasonably determine, and all reasonable fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the Borrower. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers or employees nor any other Person assisting them in their duties nor any agent, or employee thereof, shall be liable to any of the Lenders for any waiver, consent or approval given or any action taken, or omitted to be taken, in good faith by it or them hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, or in connection herewith or therewith, or be responsible for the consequences of any oversight or error of judgment whatsoever, except that the Administrative Agent or such other Person, as the case may be, may be liable for losses due to its willful misconduct or gross negligence. For the purposes of carrying out the provisions and exercising the rights, remedies, powers and privileges granted by or referred to in this Agreement and the Loan Documents, each of the Lenders, subject to the other terms of this Agreement and the Loan Documents, hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Administrative Agent to enforce the Loan Documents and to exercise such powers, rights and remedies under this Agreement and the Loan Documents as are delegated to Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or thereof, together with all such powers, rights and remedies as are reasonably incidental thereto, on behalf of and for the benefit of the Lenders.
66
(b) The provisions of this Article XI are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders, and neither Borrower nor TMC nor any of their respective Subsidiaries shall have any rights to rely on or enforce any of the provisions hereof (provided that the Borrower may rely on the authority granted to the Administrative Agent by each Lender pursuant to Section 11.1 and shall be entitled to enforce Sections 11.7 and 11.8 of this Agreement). In performing its respective functions and duties under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall act solely as agent of the Lenders and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation or relationship of agency, trustee or fiduciary with or for the Borrower or TMC or any of their respective Subsidiaries. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder, or under the Loan Documents, by or through agents or employees.
11.2 Nature of Duties. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement or in the Loan Documents. The duties of the Administrative Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in nature. The Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement a fiduciary, trustee or agency relationship in respect of any Holder. Nothing in this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to or shall be construed to impose upon the Administrative Agent any obligations in respect of this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents except as expressly set forth herein or therein. The Administrative Agent hereby agrees that its duties shall include providing copies of documents received by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower pursuant to this Agreement which are reasonably requested by any Lender and promptly notifying each Lender upon its obtaining actual knowledge of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder.
11.3 Right to Request Instructions. The Administrative Agent may at any time request instructions from the Lenders with respect to any actions or approvals which by the terms of any of the Loan Documents the Administrative Agent is permitted or required to take or to grant, and, except where an action or approval is expressly required under this Article XI or Section 10.2 hereof, such Administrative 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 any action or withholding any approval under any of the Loan Documents until it shall have received (or, pursuant to Section 13.7(d), be deemed to have received) such instructions from those Lenders from whom Administrative Agent is required to obtain such instructions for the pertinent matter in accordance with the Loan Documents. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent shall take any action, or refrain from taking any action, which is permitted by the terms of the Loan Documents upon receipt (or, pursuant to Section 13.7(d), deemed receipt) of instructions from those Lenders from whom the Administrative Agent is required to obtain such instructions for the pertinent matter in accordance with the Loan Documents; provided, that no Holder shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting under the Loan Documents in accordance with the instructions (or deemed instructions) of the Requisite Lenders or, where required by the express terms of this Agreement, a greater proportion of the Lenders.
11.4 Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any written notices, statements, certificates, orders or other documents or any telephone message believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person, and with respect to all matters pertaining to this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents and its duties hereunder or thereunder, upon advice of legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower), independent public accountants and other experts selected by it.
11.5 Indemnification. To the extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed and indemnified by the Borrower, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative Agent in its capacity as Administrative Agent and not in its capacity as Lender hereunder, for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, and reasonable costs,
67
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any action taken or omitted by such Administrative Agent under the Loan Documents, in proportion to each Lender's Pro Rata Share; provided, however, that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements resulting from Administrative Agent's gross negligence of willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent agrees to refund to the Lenders any of the foregoing amounts paid to it by the Lenders which amounts are subsequently recovered by the Administrative Agent from the Borrower or any other Person on behalf of the Borrower. The obligations of the Lenders under this Section 11.5 shall survive the payment in full of the Loans and all other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
11.6 Administrative Agent Individually. With respect to its Pro Rata Share of the Revolving Credit Commitments hereunder, if any, and the Loans made by it or Letters of Credit issued by it, if any, the Administrative Agent shall have and may exercise the same rights and powers hereunder and is subject to the same obligations and liabilities as and to the extent set forth herein for any other Lender. The terms "Lenders" or "Requisite Lenders" or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include Fleet in its individual capacity as a Lender or as one of the Requisite Lenders. Fleet and each of its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with the Borrower, TMC or any of their respective Subsidiaries as if Fleet were not acting as the Administrative Agent pursuant hereto.
11.7 Successor Administrative Agent.
(a) Resignation and Removal. The Administrative Agent may resign from the performance of all its functions and duties hereunder at any time by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days' prior written notice to the Borrower and the other Lenders, unless applicable law requires a shorter notice period or that there be no notice period, in which instance such applicable law shall control. Any Administrative Agent may be removed at the direction of the Requisite Lenders, in the event of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Administrative Agent. Such resignation or removal shall take effect upon the acceptance by a successor Administrative Agent of appointment pursuant to this Section 11.7.
(b) Appointment by Requisite Lenders. Upon any such resignation or removal becoming effective, the Lenders shall have the right to appoint a successor Administrative Agent selected from among the Lenders, which successor Administrative Agent, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall be subject to approval by the Borrower (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld).
(c) Appointment by Retiring Administrative Agent. If a successor Administrative Agent shall not have been appointed within the thirty (30) Business Day or shorter period provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 11.7, the retiring Administrative Agent shall then appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall serve as Administrative Agent until such time, if any, as the Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.
(d) Rights of the Successor and Retiring Administrative Agents. Upon the acceptance of any appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and obligations as Administrative Agent under this Agreement. After any retiring Administrative Agent's resignation hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article XI shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was the Administrative Agent under this Agreement.
68
11.8 Relations Among the Lenders. Each Lender agrees that it will not take any legal action, nor institute any actions or proceedings, against the Borrower or any other obligor hereunder with respect to any of the Obligations, without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, no Lender may accelerate or otherwise enforce its portion of the Obligations, or unilaterally terminate its Revolving Credit Commitment, except in accordance with Section 10.2(a) .
11.9 Notices. Promptly upon receipt, Administrative Agent shall forward to each Lender (i) a copy of all notices of default or other formal notices sent or received by Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 13.8 hereof, (ii) copies of all financial statements, certificates and other information sent by Borrower pursuant to Article VII, and (iii) any other document or notice received by Administrative Agent from Borrower or TMC pursuant to this Agreement and requested in writing by any Lender.
11.10 No Representations. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for the execution, validity or enforceability of this Agreement, the Notes, any of the other Loan Documents or any instrument at any time constituting, or intended to constitute, collateral security for the Notes, or for the value of any such collateral security or for the validity, enforceability or collectability of any such amounts owing with respect to the Notes, or for any recitals or statements, warranties or representations made herein or in any of the other Loan Documents or in any certificate or instrument hereafter furnished to it by or on behalf of the Borrower or TMC or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or in any other of the Loan Documents. The Administrative Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or request delivered to it by the Borrower or TMC or any holder of any of the Notes shall have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. The Administrative Agent has not made nor does it now make any representations or warranties, express or implied, nor does it assume any liability to the Lenders, with respect to the creditworthiness or financial condition of the Borrower, TMC or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or the value of any assets of such Persons. Each Lender acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, and based upon such information and documents as it has deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each Lender also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any other Lender, based upon such information and documents as it deems appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit analysis and decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
11.11 Co-Agents. The Co-Documentation Agents, the Syndication Agent and Lead Arranger shall not have any additional rights or obligations under the Loan Documents, except for those rights, if any, as a Lender.
ARTICLE XII
YIELD PROTECTION
12.1 Taxes.
(a) Payment of Taxes. Any and all payments by the Borrower hereunder or under any Note or other document evidencing any Obligations shall be made, in accordance with Section 3.2, free and clear of and without reduction for any and all present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings, and all stamp or documentary taxes, excise taxes, ad valorem taxes and other taxes imposed on the value of the Property, charges or levies which arise from the execution, delivery or registration, or from payment or performance under, or otherwise with respect to, any of the Loan Documents or the Revolving Credit Commitments and all other liabilities with respect thereto excluding, in the case of each Lender, taxes imposed on or measured
69
by net income or overall gross receipts and capital and franchise taxes imposed on it by (i) the United States, (ii) the Governmental Authority of the jurisdiction in which such Lender's Applicable Lending Office is located or any political subdivision thereof or (iii) the Governmental Authority in which such Person is organized, managed and controlled or any political subdivision thereof (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges and withholdings being hereinafter referred to as "Taxes"). If the Borrower shall be required by law to withhold or deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder or under any such Note or document to any Lender, (x) the sum payable to such Lender shall be increased as may be necessary so that after making all required withholding or deductions (including withholding or deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 12.1) such Lender receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding or deductions been made, (y) the Borrower shall make such withholding or deductions, and (z) the Borrower shall pay the full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance with applicable law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that any Lender is or becomes so subject to such Taxes, at the Borrower's sole election, the Borrower may identify an Eligible Assignee not so subject to such Taxes to whom the Lender which is so subject shall assign its interest in the Loans at par pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and Acceptance substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A.
(b) Indemnification. The Borrower will indemnify each Lender against, and reimburse each on demand for, the full amount of all Taxes (including, without limitation, any Taxes imposed by any Governmental Authority on amounts payable under this Section 12.1 resulting therefrom) incurred or paid by such Lender or any of their respective Affiliates and any liability (including penalties, interest, and out-of-pocket expenses paid to third parties) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes were lawfully payable. A certificate as to any additional amount payable to any Person under this Section 12.1 submitted by it to the Borrower shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties hereto. Each Lender agrees to the extent it is able, within a reasonable time after receiving a written request from the Borrower, to provide the Borrower and the Administrative Agent with such certificates as are reasonably required, and take such other actions as are reasonably necessary to claim such exemptions as such Lender may be entitled to claim in respect of all or a portion of any Taxes which are otherwise required to be paid or deducted or withheld pursuant to this Section 12.1 in respect of any payments under this Agreement or under the Notes.
(c) Receipts. Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes by the Borrower, it will furnish to the Administrative Agent, at its address referred to in Section 13.8, the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof.
(d) Foreign Bank Certifications. (i) Each Lender that is not created or organized under the laws of the United States or a political subdivision thereof shall deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent on the Closing Date or the date on which such Lender becomes a Lender pursuant to Section 13.1 hereof, to the extent it is legally able to do so, a true and accurate certificate executed in duplicate by a duly authorized officer of such Lender to the effect that such Lender is eligible to receive payments hereunder and under the Notes without deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax (I) under the provisions of an applicable tax treaty concluded by the United States (in which case the certificate shall be accompanied by two duly completed copies of IRS Form 1001 (or any successor or substitute form or forms)) or (II) under Sections 1442(c)(1) and 1442(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (in which case the certificate shall be accompanied by two duly completed copies of IRS Form 4224 (or any successor or substitute form or forms)).
(ii) Upon written request of Administrative Agent or as otherwise required hereunder, each Lender further agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent from
70
time to time a true and accurate certificate executed in duplicate by a duly authorized officer of such Lender before or promptly upon the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent certificate previously delivered by it to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 12.1(d). Each certificate required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 12.1(d)(ii) shall certify as to one of the following:
(A) that such Lender can continue to receive payments hereunder and under the Notes without deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax;
(B) that such Lender cannot continue to receive payments hereunder and under the Notes without deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax as specified therein but does not require additional payments pursuant to Section 12.1(a) because it is entitled to recover the full amount of any such deduction or withholding from a source other than the Borrower; or
(C) that such Lender is no longer capable of receiving payments hereunder and under the Notes without deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax as specified therein and that it is not capable of recovering the full amount of the same from a source other than the Borrower.
Each Lender agrees to deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent further duly completed copies of the above-mentioned IRS forms on or before the earlier of (x) the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or otherwise is required to be resubmitted as a condition to obtaining an exemption from withholding from United States federal income tax and (y) fifteen (15) days after the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form previously delivered by such Lender to the Borrower and Administrative Agent, unless any change in treaty, law, regulation, or official interpretation thereof which would render such form inapplicable or which would prevent the Lender from duly completing and delivering such form has occurred prior to the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required and the Lender promptly advises the Borrower that it is not capable of receiving payments hereunder and under the Notes without any deduction or withholding of United States federal income tax.
12.2 Increased Capital. If after the date hereof any Lender determines that (i) the adoption or implementation of or any change in or in the interpretation or administration of any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or quasi- governmental authority exercising jurisdiction, power or control over any Lender or banks or financial institutions generally (whether or not having the force of law), compliance with which affects or would affect the amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation controlling such Lender and (ii) the amount of such capital is increased by or based upon the making or maintenance by any Lender of its Loans, the issuance of Letters of Credit, any Lender's participation in or obligation to participate in the Loans, Letters of Credit or other advances made hereunder or the existence of any Lender's obligation to make Loans or to issue Letters of Credit, then, in any such case, within thirty (30) days after written demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, additional amounts sufficient to compensate such Lender or such corporation therefore. Such demand shall be accompanied by a statement as to the amount of such compensation and include a brief summary of the basis for such demand. Such statement shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any such demand, at the Borrower's sole election, the Borrower may identify an Eligible Assignee not making such a demand to whom the demanding Lender shall assign its interest in the Loans at par pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and Acceptance substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A.
71
12.3 Change in Legal Restrictions. If after the date hereof any Lender determines that the adoption or implementation of or any change in or in the interpretation or administration of any law or regulation or any guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority or quasi- governmental authority exercising jurisdiction, power or control over any Lender, or over banks or financial institutions generally (whether or not having the force of law), compliance with which:
(a) does or will subject a Lender (or its Applicable Lending Office or LIBOR Affiliate) to charges (other than taxes) of any kind which such Lender reasonably determines to be applicable to the Revolving Credit Commitments of the Lenders to make LIBOR Rate Loans or change the basis of taxation of payments to that Lender of principal, fees, interest, or any other amount payable hereunder with respect to LIBOR Rate Loans; or
(b) does or will impose, modify, or hold applicable, in the reasonable determination of a Lender, any reserve (other than reserves taken into account in calculating the LIBOR Rate), special deposit, compulsory loan, FDIC insurance or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, commitments made, or other credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, a Lender or any Applicable Lending Office or LIBOR Affiliate of that Lender;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to that Lender of making, renewing or maintaining the Loans or its Revolving Credit Commitment or to reduce any amount receivable thereunder; then, in any such case, within thirty (30) days after written demand by such Lender (with a copy of such demand to the Administrative Agent), the Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of such Lender, from time to time as specified by such Lender, such amount or amounts as may be necessary to compensate such Lender or its LIBOR Affiliate for any such additional cost incurred or reduced amount received. Such demand shall be accompanied by a statement as to the amount of such compensation and include a brief summary of the basis for such demand. Such statement shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any such demand, at the Borrower's sole election, the Borrower may identify an Eligible Assignee not making such a demand to whom the demanding Lender shall assign its interest in the Loans at par pursuant to the terms of an Assignment and Acceptance substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A.

(c) The Register. The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its address referred to in Section 13.8 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance delivered to and accepted by it and a register (the "Register") for the recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, the Revolving Credit Commitment of, and the principal amount of the Loans under the Revolving Credit Commitments owing to, each Lender from time to time and whether such Lender is an original Lender or the assignee of another Lender pursuant to an Assignment and Acceptance. The entries in the Register shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, TMC and each of their respective Subsidiaries, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower or any Lender at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.

Notwithstanding any other provision set forth in this Agreement, any Lender may at any time create a security interest in all of its rights under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Obligations owing to it and any Note held by it) in favor of any Federal Reserve bank in accordance with Regulation A of the Federal Reserve Board.
(g) Participations. Each Lender may sell participations to one or more Eligible Assignee or Approved Fund in all or a portion of such Lender's rights and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; provided that (a) any such sale or participation shall not affect the rights and duties of the selling Lender hereunder to the Borrower, (b) such sale and participation shall not entitle such participant to any rights or privileges under this Agreement or the Loan Documents (including, without limitation, the right to approve waivers, amendments or modifications), (c) such participant shall have no direct rights against the Borrower or TMC except the rights granted to the Lenders pursuant to Section 13.5, (d) such sale is effected in accordance with all applicable laws. Any Lender which sells a participation shall promptly notify the Administrative Agent of such sale and the identity of the purchaser of such interest.
13.2 Expenses.
(a) Generally. The Borrower agrees upon demand to pay, or reimburse the Administrative Agent for all of its respective reasonable external audit and investigation expenses and for the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of Long, Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxx LLP (but not of other legal counsel) and for all other reasonable out-of pocket costs and expenses of every type and nature incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with (i) the audit and investigation of the Consolidated Businesses, the Real Properties and other Properties of the Consolidated Businesses in connection with the preparation, negotiation, and execution of the Loan Documents; (ii) the preparation, negotiation, execution, syndication and interpretation of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article V) , the Loan Documents, and the making of the Loans hereunder or the issuance of Letters of Credit; (iii) the ongoing administration of this Agreement and the Loans, including consultation with attorneys in connection therewith and with respect to the Administrative Agent's rights and responsibilities under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents; (iv) the protection, collection or enforcement of any of the Obligations or the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents; (v) the commencement, defense or intervention in any court proceeding relating in any way to the Obligations, the Borrower, TMC, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; (vi) the response to, and preparation for, any subpoena or request for document production with which the Administrative Agent or any other Lender is served or deposition or other proceeding in which any Lender is called to testify, in each case, relating in any way to the Obligations, a Real Property, the Borrower, TMC, any of the Consolidated Businesses, this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents; and (vii) any amendments, consents, waivers, assignments, restatements, or supplements to any of the Loan Documents and the preparation, negotiation, and execution of the same.
(b) After Default. The Borrower further agrees to pay or reimburse the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders upon demand for all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees (including allocated costs of internal counsel and costs of settlement) incurred by such entity after the occurrence of an Event of Default (i) in enforcing any Loan Document or obligation or any security therefor or exercising or enforcing any other right or remedy available by reason of such Event of Default; (ii) in connection with any refinancing or restructuring of the credit arrangements provided under this Agreement in the nature of a "work-out" or in any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding; (iii) in commencing,
74
defending or intervening in any litigation or in filing a petition, complaint, answer, motion or other pleadings in any legal proceeding relating to the Obligations, a Real Property, any of the Consolidated Businesses and related to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Loan Documents; and (iv) in taking any other action in or with respect to any suit or proceeding (bankruptcy or otherwise) described in clauses (i) through (iii) above.
13.3 Indemnity. The Borrower further agrees (a) to defend, protect, indemnify, and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and each and all of the other Lenders and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, attorneys and agents (including, without limitation, those retained in connection with the satisfaction or attempted satisfaction of any of the conditions set forth in Article V) (collectively, the "Indemnitees") from and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses (other than loss of profits), damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, reasonable expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (excluding any taxes and including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not such Indemnitees shall be designated a party thereto), imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Indemnitees in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or any act, event or transaction related or attendant thereto, the making of the Loans or the issuance of Letters of Credit hereunder, the management of such Loans, the use or intended use of the proceeds of the Loans or Letters of Credit hereunder, or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Loan Documents (collectively, the "Indemnified Matters"); provided, however, the Borrower shall have no obligation to an Indemnitee thereunder with respect to Indemnified Matters caused by or resulting from the willful misconduct or gross negligence of such Indemnitee, as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a non-appealable final judgment; and (b) not to assert any claim against any of the Indemnitees, on any theory of liability, for consequential or punitive damages arising out of, or in any way in connection with, the Revolving Credit Commitments, the Revolving Credit Obligations, or the other matters governed by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents except with respect to the willful and intentional misconduct of such Indemnitee. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law, to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Matters incurred by the Indemnitees.
13.4 Change in Accounting Principles. If any change in the accounting principles used in the preparation of the most recent financial statements referred to in Section 7.1 or 7.2 are hereafter required or permitted by the rules, regulations, pronouncements and opinions of the Financial Accounting Standards Board or the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (or successors thereto or agencies with similar functions) and are adopted by the Borrower or TMC with the agreement of its independent certified public accountants and such changes result in a change in the method of calculation of any of the covenants, standards or terms found in Article IX, the parties hereto agree to enter into negotiations in order to amend such provisions so as to equitably reflect such changes with the desired result that the criteria for evaluating compliance with such covenants, standards and terms by the Borrower and TMC shall be the same after such changes as if such changes had not been made; provided, however, that no change in GAAP that would affect the method of calculation of any of the covenants, standards or terms shall be given effect in such calculations until such provisions are amended, in a manner satisfactory to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower, to so reflect such change in accounting principles.
13.5 Setoff. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, each Lender is hereby authorized by the Borrower at any time or from time to time, without notice to any Person (any such notice being hereby expressly waived) to set off and to appropriate and to apply any and all deposits (general or
75
special, including, but not limited to, indebtedness evidenced by certificates of deposit, whether matured or unmatured (but not including trust accounts)) and any other Indebtedness at any time held or owing by such Lender to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against and on account of the Obligations of the Borrower then due to such Lender, including, but not limited to, all Loans and all claims of any nature or description arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, irrespective of whether or not (i) such Lender shall have made any demand hereunder or (ii) the Administrative Agent, at the request or with the consent of the Requisite Lenders, shall have declared the principal of and interest on the Loans and other amounts due hereunder to be due and payable as permitted by Article X and even though such obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Each Lender agrees that it shall not, without the express consent of the Requisite Lenders, and that it shall, to the extent it is lawfully entitled to do so, upon the request of the Requisite Lenders, exercise its setoff rights hereunder against any accounts of the Borrower now or hereafter maintained with such Lender.
13.6 Ratable Sharing. The Lenders agree among themselves that (i) with respect to all amounts received by them which are applicable to the payment of the Obligations equitable adjustment will be made so that, in effect, all such amounts will be shared among them ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares, whether received by voluntary payment, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker's lien, by counterclaim or cross-action or by the enforcement of any or all of the Obligations, (ii) if any of them shall by voluntary payment or by the exercise of any right of counterclaim, setoff, banker's lien or otherwise, receive payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of the Obligations held by it, which is greater than the amount which such Lender is entitled to receive hereunder, the Lender receiving such excess payment shall purchase, without recourse or warranty, an undivided interest and participation (which it shall be deemed to have done simultaneously upon the receipt of such payment) in such Obligations owed to the others so that all such recoveries with respect to such Obligations shall be applied ratably in accordance with their Pro Rata Shares; provided, however, that if all or part of such excess payment received by the purchasing party is thereafter recovered from it, those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such participations shall be returned to such party to the extent necessary to adjust for such recovery, but without interest except to the extent the purchasing party is required to pay interest in connection with such recovery. The Borrower agrees that any Lender so purchasing a participation from another Lender pursuant to this Section 13.6 may, to the fullest extent permitted by law, exercise all its rights of payment (including, subject to Section 13.5, the right of setoff) with respect to such participation as fully as if such Lender were the direct creditor of the Borrower in the amount of such participation.
13.7 Amendments and Waivers.
(a) General Provisions. Unless otherwise provided for or required in this Agreement, no amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents shall be effective without the written agreement of the Requisite Lenders (which the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to grant or withhold in their sole discretion) and the Borrower; provided, however, that Borrower's agreement shall not be required for any amendment or modification of Sections 11.1 through 11.8 (other than such Sections thereof on which the Borrower is entitled to rely or which the Borrower is entitled to enforce). No termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, or consent to any departure by the Borrower or TMC therefrom, other than those specifically reserved to the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders, shall be effective without the written concurrence of the Requisite Lenders, which the Requisite Lenders shall have the right to grant or withhold in their sole discretion. All amendments, waivers and consents not specifically reserved to the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders in Section 13.7(b), 13.7(c), and in other provisions of this Agreement shall require only the approval of the Requisite Lenders. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given. In the event that any Lender fails to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Loan requested by the
76
Borrower which such Lender is obligated to fund under the terms of this Agreement, to perform its obligations under Section 2.4 of this Agreement, or to pay any other amount payable by such Lender, then in addition to the other rights and remedies that may be available to Administrative Agent or the Borrower, such Lender's right to participate in the administration of the Loan Documents, including, without limitation, any rights to consent to or direct any action or inaction of Administrative Agent pursuant to this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or to be taken into account in the calculation of Requisite Lenders, or to exercise rights under Section 13.7(b), shall be suspended during the pendency of such failure. No notice to or demand on the Borrower in any case shall entitle the Borrower to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. Any such action by the Requisite Lenders shall be binding upon all of the Lenders and the Administrative Agent.
(b) Amendments, Consents and Waivers by All Lenders. Any amendment, modification, termination, waiver or consent with respect to any of the following provisions of this Agreement shall be effective only by a written agreement, signed by each Lender:
(i) increase in the amount of a Lender's Revolving Credit Commitment,
(ii) reduction of the principal of, rate or amount of interest on the Loans or any fees or other amounts payable to the Lenders (other than by the payment or prepayment thereof), and
(iii) postponement or extension of any date fixed for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees or other amounts payable to the Lenders (except with respect to any modifications of the application provisions relating to prepayments of Loans and other Obligations which are governed by Section 3.2(b)).
(iv) postponement of the Revolving Credit Termination Date, or increase in the Maximum Revolving Credit Amount to any amount in excess of $175,000,000,
(v) change in the definition of Requisite Lenders or in the aggregate Pro Rata Share of the Lenders which shall be required for the Lenders or any of them to take action hereunder or under the other Loan Documents,
(vi) amendment of Section 13.6 or this Section 13.7,
(vii) assignment of any right or interest in or under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents by the Borrower, and
(viii) release of the Guaranty.
(c) Administrative Agent Authority. The Administrative Agent may, but shall have no obligation to, with the written concurrence of any Lender, execute amendments, modifications, waivers or consents on behalf of that Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 13.7, no amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall affect the rights or duties of the Administrative Agent as Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, unless made in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action, and no amendment, modification, waiver or consent shall affect the rights or duties of the Issuing Lender under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, unless made in writing, and signed by the Issuing Lender in addition to the Lenders required above to take such action. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the Borrower shall have requested, in writing, that any Lender agree to an amendment, modification, waiver or consent with respect to any particular provision or provisions of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, and such Lender shall have failed to state, in writing, that it either agrees or disagrees (in full or in part) with all such requests (in the case of its statement of agreement, subject to satisfactory documentation and such other reasonable
77
conditions it may specify) within ten (10) Business Days after such request, then such Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes the Administrative Agent to agree or disagree, in full or in part, and in the Administrative Agent's sole discretion, to such requests on behalf of such Lender as such Lender's attorney-in-fact and to execute and deliver any writing approved by the Administrative Agent which evidences such agreement as such Lender's duly authorized agent for such purposes.
13.8 Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein, any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall be in writing and may be personally served, sent by facsimile transmission or by courier service or United States certified mail and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in person or by courier service, upon receipt of a facsimile transmission, or three (3) Business Days after deposit in the United States mail with postage prepaid and properly addressed. Notices to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Articles II, III or XI shall not be effective until received by the Administrative Agent. For the purposes hereof, the addresses of the parties hereto (until notice of a change thereof is delivered as provided in this Section 13.8) shall be as set forth below each party's name on the signature pages hereof or the signature page of any applicable Assignment and Acceptance, or, as to each party, at such other address as may be designated by such party in a written notice to all of the other parties to this Agreement.
13.9 Survival of Warranties and Agreements. All representations and warranties made herein and all obligations of the Borrower in respect of taxes, indemnification and expense reimbursement shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, the making and repayment of the Loans and the termination of this Agreement and shall not be limited in any way by the passage of time or occurrence of any event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, such representations, warranties and obligations shall terminate and be of no further force and effect two years after payment in full of the Loans.
13.10 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. Subject to the terms of Section 13.7(d) of this Agreement, no failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender in the exercise of any power, right or privilege under any of the Loan Documents shall impair such power, right or privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege. All rights and remedies existing under the Loan Documents are cumulative to and not exclusive of any rights or remedies otherwise available.
13.11 Marshaling; Payments Set Aside. None of the Administrative Agent or any other Lender shall be under any obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the Borrower or any other party or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. To the extent that the Borrower makes a payment or payments to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any such person exercises its rights of setoff, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or setoff or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any other party, then to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied, and all right and remedies therefor shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
13.12 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
13.13 Headings. Section headings in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement or be given any substantive effect.
78
13.14 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED, AND THE RIGHTS AND LIABILITIES OF THE PARTIES HERETO DETERMINED, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES.
13.15 Limitation of Liability. No claim may be made by any Lender, the Administrative Agent, or any other Person against any Lender (acting in any capacity hereunder) or the Affiliates, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents of any of them for any consequential or punitive damages in respect of any claim for breach of contract or any other theory of liability arising out of or related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, except with respect to the willful and intentional misconduct of such Lender; and each Lender and the Administrative Agent hereby waives, releases and agrees not to xxx upon any such claim for any such damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor. In addition, no claim may be made by any Lender, the Administrative Agent, or any other Person against any directors, officers or trustees of the Borrower or TMC or their respective Subsidiaries.
13.16 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights or obligations under any of the Loan Documents without the prior written consent of each of the Lenders.
13.17 Certain Consents and Waivers.
(a) Personal Jurisdiction. (i) EACH OF THE LENDERS AND BORROWER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY SUBMITS, FOR ITSELF AND ITS PROPERTY, TO THE NONEXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY NEW YORK STATE OR COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS COURT OR FEDERAL COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK OR BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS, AND ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER APPEALS OF MATTERS HEARD IN SUCH COURTS, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED AMONG THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY OR OTHERWISE, OR FOR RECOGNITION OR ENFORCEMENT OF ANY JUDGMENT, AND EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN SUCH STATE COURT OR, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN SUCH FEDERAL COURT. THE BORROWER (IN SUCH CAPACITY, THE "PROCESS AGENT") AGREES TO ACCEPT SERVICE OF ALL PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING IN ANY SUCH COURT, SUCH SERVICE BEING HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGED TO BE EFFECTIVE AND BINDING SERVICE IN EVERY RESPECT. EACH OF THE LENDERS AND THE BORROWER AGREES THAT A FINAL JUDGMENT IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE CONCLUSIVE AND MAY BE ENFORCED IN OTHER JURISDICTIONS BY SUIT ON THE JUDGMENT OR IN ANY OTHER MANNER PROVIDED BY LAW. EACH OF THE LENDERS (AS TO COURTS IN NEW YORK STATE AND COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS ONLY) AND THE BORROWER, WITH RESPECT TO COURTS IN NEW YORK AND MASSACHUSETTS, WAIVES IN ALL DISPUTES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY HAVE TO THE LOCATION OF THE COURT CONSIDERING THE DISPUTE.
(ii) THE BORROWER AGREES THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROCEED AGAINST THE BORROWER OR ITS PROPERTY
79
IN A COURT IN ANY LOCATION NECESSARY OR APPROPRIATE TO ENABLE THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE OTHER LENDERS TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER ENTERED IN FAVOR OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY OTHER LENDER. THE BORROWER AGREES THAT IT WILL NOT ASSERT ANY PERMISSIVE COUNTERCLAIMS IN ANY PROCEEDING BROUGHT BY THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER. THE BORROWER WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY HAVE TO THE LOCATION OF THE COURT IN WHICH THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT OR ANY LENDER MAY COMMENCE A PROCEEDING DESCRIBED IN THIS SECTION.

NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT, THE OTHER LENDERS OR THE BORROWER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE BORROWER IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
(c) Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT AND THE OTHER LENDERS AND THE BORROWER IRREVOCABLY WAIVES TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.

This Agreement shall become effective against the Borrower and each Lender on the Closing Date. This Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be construed to the extent reasonable to be consistent one with the other, but to the extent that the terms and conditions of this Agreement are actually inconsistent with the terms and conditions of any other Loan Document, this Agreement shall govern. In the event the Lenders enter into any co-lender agreement with the Administrative Agent pertaining to the Lenders' respective rights with respect to voting on any matter referenced in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents on which the Lenders have a right to vote under the terms of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents, such co-lender agreement shall be construed to the extent reasonable to be consistent with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, but to the extent that the terms and conditions of such co-lender agreement are actually inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and/or the other Loan Documents, such co-lender agreement shall govern. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any rights reserved to the Administrative Agent under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be varied or in any way affected by such co-lender agreement and the rights and obligations of the Borrower under the Loan Documents will not be varied.
80
13.19 Limitation on Agreements. All agreements between the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender in the Loan Documents are hereby expressly limited so that in no event shall any of the Loans or other amounts payable by the Borrower under any of the Loan Documents be directly or indirectly secured (within the meaning of Regulation U) by Margin Stock.
13.20 Confidentiality. Subject to Section 13.1(q), the Lenders shall hold all nonpublic information obtained pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement, and identified as such by the Borrower, in accordance with such Lender's customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking practices (provided that such Lender may share such information with its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees, accountants, attorneys and other advisors in accordance with such Lender's customary procedures for handling confidential information of this nature and provided further that such Person shall hold such information confidential) and in any event the Lenders may make disclosure reasonably required by a bona fide offeree, transferee or participant in connection with the contemplated transfer or as required or requested by any Governmental Authority or representative thereof or pursuant to legal process and shall require any such offeree or transferee to agree (and require any of its offerees, transferees or participants to agree) to comply with this Section 13.20. In no event shall any Lender be obligated or required to return any materials furnished by the Borrower; provided, however, each offeree shall be required to agree that if it does not become a transferee it shall return all materials furnished to it by the Borrower or any Lender in connection with this Agreement. This Section 13.20 and any and all confidentiality agreements entered into between any Lender and the Borrower shall survive the execution of this Agreement. Nonpublic information shall not include any information which is or subsequently becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure of such information by such Lender, or prior to the delivery to such Lender is within the possession of such Lender if such information is not known by such Lender to be subject to another confidentiality agreement with or other obligations of secrecy to Borrower, or is disclosed with the prior approval of Borrower. Nothing herein shall prohibit the disclosure of nonpublic information to the extent necessary to enforce the Loan Documents.

None of the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders shall be deemed to be in privity of contract with any contractor or provider of services to any Real Property, nor shall any payment of funds directly to a contractor or subcontractor or provider of services be deemed to create any third-party beneficiary status or recognition of same by any of the Administrative Agent or the other Lenders, and the Borrower agrees to hold the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders harmless from any of the damages and expenses resulting from such a construction of the relationship of the parties or any assertion thereof solely to the extent, if any, that the Borrower has requested that the Administrative Agent or any other Lender deal directly with or make any payments directly to such a contractor or provider of services.
