appropriate insertions. One Revolving Credit Note shall be payable to the order of each Lender in
the principal amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment or, if less, the outstanding amount of all
Revolving Credit Loans made by such Lender, plus interest accrued thereon, as set forth below. The
Borrower irrevocably authorizes Agent to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the
Drawdown Date of any Revolving Credit Loan or the time of receipt of any payment of principal
thereof, an appropriate notation on Agent’s Record reflecting the making of such Revolving Credit
Loan or (as the case may be) the receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Revolving
Credit Loans set forth on Agent’s Record shall be prima facie evidence of the
principal amount thereof owing and unpaid to each Lender, but the failure to record, or any error
in so recording, any such amount on Agent’s Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the
obligations of the Borrower hereunder or under any Revolving Credit Note to make payments of
principal of or interest on any Revolving Credit Note when due.
§2.2 Facility Unused Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Agent for the account of
the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages a facility unused fee
calculated at the rate per annum as set forth below on the average daily amount by which the Total
Commitment exceeds the outstanding principal amount of Loans and the face amount of Letters of
Credit Outstanding during each calendar quarter or portion thereof commencing on the date hereof
and ending on the Maturity Date. The facility unused 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 face amount of Letters of Credit Outstanding during such quarter to (b)
the Total Commitment, and if such ratio is less than fifty percent (50%), the facility unused fee
shall be payable at the rate of 0.20%, and if such ratio is equal to or greater than fifty percent
(50%), the facility unused fee shall be payable at the rate of 0.125%. The facility unused fee
shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the tenth (10th) day of each calendar quarter
for the immediately preceding calendar quarter or portion thereof, and on any earlier date on which
the Commitments shall be reduced or shall terminate as provided in §2.3, with a final payment on
the Maturity Date.
25
§2.3 Reduction and Termination of the Commitments. The Borrower shall have the right
at any time and from time to time upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice to the Agent to
reduce by $5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof (provided that
in no event shall the Total Commitment be reduced in such manner to an amount less than
$97,500,000.00) or to terminate entirely the unborrowed portion of the Commitments
(provided that such termination would not result in the Total Commitment being reduced to
an amount less than $97,500,000.00), whereupon the Commitments of the Lenders shall be reduced pro
rata in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages of the amount specified in such
notice or, as the case may be, terminated, any such termination or reduction to be without penalty
except as otherwise set forth in §4.8; provided, however, that no such termination
or reduction shall be permitted if, after giving effect thereto, the sum of Outstanding Revolving
Credit Loans, the Outstanding Swing Loans and the Letter of Credit Liabilities would exceed the
Commitments of the Lenders as so terminated or reduced. Promptly after receiving any notice from
the Borrower delivered pursuant to this §2.3, the Agent will notify the Lenders of the substance
thereof. Any reduction of the Commitments shall also result in a proportionate reduction (rounded
to the next lowest integral multiple of $100,000) in the maximum amount of Swing Loans and Letters
of Credit. Upon the effective date of any such reduction or termination, the Borrower shall pay to
the Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders the full amount of any facility fee under §2.2
then accrued on the amount of the reduction. No reduction or termination of the Commitments may be
reinstated.
§2.4 Swing Loan Commitment.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Swing Loan Lender agrees
to lend to the Borrower (the “Swing Loans”), and the Borrower may borrow (and repay and reborrow)
from time to time between the Closing Date and the date which is five (5) Business Days prior to
the Maturity Date upon notice by the Borrower to the Swing Loan Lender given in accordance with
this §2.4, such sums as are requested by the Borrower for the purposes set forth in §2.8 in an
aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding not exceeding the Swing Loan Commitment;
provided that in all events (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing; (ii) no Lender shall be a Delinquent Lender (provided Swing Loan Lender may, in its
sole discretion, be entitled to waive this condition); and (iii) the outstanding principal amount
of the Loans (after giving effect to all amounts requested) plus Letter of Credit
Liabilities shall not at any time exceed the lesser of (A) the Total Commitment or (B) the
Borrowing Base. Swing Loans shall constitute “Loans” for all purposes hereunder. The funding of a
Swing Loan hereunder shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower that all of the
conditions set forth in §10 and §11 have been satisfied on the date of such funding. The Swing
Loan Lender may assume that the conditions in §10 and §11 have been satisfied unless Swing Loan
Lender has received written notice from a Lender that such conditions have not been satisfied.
Each Swing Loan shall be due and payable within five (5) Business Days of the date such Swing Loan
was provided and Borrower hereby agrees (to the extent not repaid as contemplated by §2.4(d) below)
to repay each Swing Loan on or before the date that is five (5) Business Days from the date such
Swing Loan was provided.
(b) The Swing Loans shall be evidenced by a separate promissory note of the Borrower in
substantially the form of Exhibit B hereto (the “Swing Note”), dated the date of this
Agreement and completed with appropriate insertions. The Swing Loan Note shall be payable to
26
the order of the Swing Loan Lender in the principal face amount equal to the Swing Loan
Commitment and shall be payable as set forth below. The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the Swing
Loan Lender to make or cause to be made, at or about the time of the Drawdown Date of any Swing
Loan or at the time of receipt of any payment of principal thereof, an appropriate notation on the
Swing Loan Lender’s Record reflecting the making of such Swing Loan or (as the case may be) the
receipt of such payment. The outstanding amount of the Swing Loans set forth on the Swing Loan
Lender’s Record shall be prima facie evidence of the principal amount thereof owing
and unpaid to the Swing Loan Lender, but the failure to record, or any error in so recording, any
such amount on the Swing Loan Lender’s Record shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligations
of the Borrower hereunder or under the Swing Loan Note to make payments of principal of or interest
on any Swing Loan Note when due.
(c) Borrower shall request a Swing Loan by delivering to the Swing Loan Lender a Loan Request
executed by an Authorized Officer no later than 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) on the requested
Drawdown Date specifying the amount of the requested Swing Loan (which shall be in the minimum
amount of $1,000,000.00) and providing the wire instructions for the delivery of the Swing Loan
proceeds. The Loan Request shall also contain the statements and certifications required by
§2.6(i) and (ii). Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and
shall obligate the Borrower to accept such Swing Loan on the Drawdown Date. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, a Swing Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. The proceeds of the Swing
Loan will be disbursed by wire by the Swing Loan Lender to the Borrower no later than 1:00 p.m.
(Cleveland time).
(d) The Swing Loan Lender shall, within two (2) Business Days after the Drawdown Date with
respect to such Swing Loan, request each Lender, including the Swing Loan Lender, to make a
Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan pursuant to §2.1 in an amount equal to such Lender’s Commitment
Percentage of the amount of the Swing Loan outstanding on the date such notice is given. Borrower
hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs the Swing Loan Lender to so act on its behalf, and agrees
that any amount advanced to the Agent for the benefit of the Swing Loan Lender pursuant to this
§2.4(d) shall be considered a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan pursuant to §2.1. Unless any of the
events described in paragraph (h), (i) or (j) of §12.1 shall have occurred (in which event the
procedures of §2.4(e) shall apply), each Lender shall make the proceeds of its Revolving Credit
Base Rate Loan available to the Swing Loan Lender for the account of the Swing Loan Lender at the
Agent’s Head Office prior to 12:00 noon (Cleveland time) in funds immediately available no later
than the third (3rd) Business Day after the date such notice is given just as if the Revolving
Credit Lenders were funding directly to the Borrower, so that thereafter such Obligations shall be
evidenced by the Revolving Credit Notes. The proceeds of such Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan
shall be immediately applied to repay the Swing Loans.
(e) If for any reason a Swing Loan cannot be refinanced by a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan
pursuant to §2.4(d), each Lender will, on the date such Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.4(d)
was to have been made, purchase an undivided participation interest in the Swing Loan in an amount
equal to its Commitment Percentage of such Swing Loan. Each Lender will immediately transfer to
the Swing Loan Lender in immediately available funds the amount of its participation and upon
receipt thereof the Swing Loan Lender will deliver to such
27
Lender a Swing Loan participation certificate dated the date of receipt of such funds and in
such amount.
(f) Whenever at any time after the Swing Loan Lender has received from any Lender such
Lender’s participation interest in a Swing Loan, the Swing Loan Lender receives any payment on
account thereof, the Swing Loan 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 participating interest was outstanding and funded); provided,
however, that in the event that such payment received by the Swing Loan Lender is required
to be returned, such Lender will return to the Swing Loan Lender any portion thereof previously
distributed by the Swing Loan Lender to it.
(g) Each Lender’s obligation to fund a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan as provided in §2.4(d)
or to purchase participation interests pursuant to §2.4(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and
shall not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (i) any setoff,
counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which such Lender or the Borrower or Guarantors
may have against the Swing Loan Lender, the Borrower or Guarantors or anyone else for any reason
whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of a Default or an Event of Default; (iii) any
adverse change in the condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or Guarantors or any of
their respective Subsidiaries; (iv) any breach of this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents
by the Borrower or Guarantors or any Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event
whatsoever, whether or not similar to any of the foregoing. Any portions of a Swing Loan not so
purchased or converted may be treated by the Agent and Swing Loan Lender as against such Lender as
a Revolving Credit Loan which was not funded by the non-purchasing Lender as contemplated by §2.7
and §12.5, and shall have such rights and remedies against such Lender as are set forth in §§ 2.7,
12.5 and 14.5. Each Swing Loan, once so sold or converted, shall cease to be a Swing Loan for the
purposes of this Agreement, but shall be a Revolving Credit Loan made by each Lender under its
Commitment.
§2.5 Interest on Loans.
(a) Each Base Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with the Drawdown Date
thereof and ending on the date on which such Base Rate Loan is repaid or converted to a Revolving
Credit LIBOR Rate Loan at the rate per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the Applicable
Margin.
(b) Each Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan shall bear interest for the period commencing with
the Drawdown Date thereof and ending on the last day of each Interest Period with respect thereto
at the rate per annum equal to the sum of LIBOR determined for such Interest Period plus the
Applicable Margin.
(c) The Borrower promises to pay interest on each Loan in arrears on each Interest Payment
Date with respect thereto.
(d) Base Rate Loans and Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loans may be converted to Loans of the
other Type as provided in §4.1.
28
§2.6 Requests for Revolving Credit Loans. Except with respect to the initial
Revolving Credit Loan on the Closing Date, the Borrower shall give to the Agent written notice
executed by an Authorized Officer in the form of Exhibit G hereto (or telephonic notice
confirmed in writing in the form of Exhibit G hereto) of each Revolving Credit Loan
requested hereunder (a “Loan Request”) by 11:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) one (1) Business Day prior to
the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans and two (2) Business
Days prior to the proposed Drawdown Date with respect to Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loans. Each
such notice shall specify with respect to the requested Revolving Credit Loan the proposed
principal amount of such Revolving Credit Loan, the Type of Revolving Credit Loan, the initial
Interest Period (if applicable) for such Revolving Credit Loan and the Drawdown Date. Each such
notice shall also contain (i) a general statement as to the purpose for which such advance shall be
used (which purpose shall be in accordance with the terms of §2.8) and (ii) a certification by the
chief financial officer or chief accounting officer of RPB that the Borrower and the Guarantors are
and will be in compliance with all covenants under the Loan Documents after giving effect to the
making of such Loan. Promptly upon receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall notify each of the
Lenders thereof. Each such Loan Request shall be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower and shall
obligate the Borrower to accept the Revolving Credit Loan requested from the Lenders on the
proposed Drawdown Date. Nothing herein shall prevent the Borrower from seeking recourse against
any Lender that fails to advance its proportionate share of a requested Revolving Credit Loan as
required by this Agreement. Each Loan Request shall be (a) for a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan
in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess
thereof; or (b) for a Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan in a minimum aggregate amount of
$1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $250,000.00 in excess thereof; provided,
however, that there shall be no more than six (6) Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loans
outstanding at any one time.
§2.7 Funds for Revolving Credit Loans.
(a) Not later than 1:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the proposed Drawdown Date of any Revolving
Credit Loans, each of the Lenders will make available to the Agent, at the Agent’s Head Office, in
immediately available funds, the amount of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the amount of the
requested Revolving Credit Loans which may be disbursed pursuant to §2.1. Upon receipt from each
Lender of such amount, and upon receipt of the documents required by §10 and §11 and the
satisfaction of the other conditions set forth therein, to the extent applicable, the Agent will
make available to the Borrower the aggregate amount of such Revolving Credit Loans made available
to the Agent by the Lenders by crediting such amount to the account of the Borrower maintained at
the Agent’s Head Office. The failure or refusal of any Lender to make available to the Agent at
the aforesaid time and place on any Drawdown Date the amount of its Commitment Percentage of the
requested Revolving Credit Loans shall not relieve any other Lender from its several obligation
hereunder to make available to the Agent the amount of such other Lender’s Commitment Percentage of
any requested Revolving Credit Loans, including any additional Revolving Credit Loans that may be
requested subject to the terms and conditions hereof to provide funds to replace those not advanced
by the Lender so failing or refusing. In the event of any such failure or refusal, the Lenders not
so failing or refusing shall be entitled to a priority secured position as against the Lender or
Lenders so failing or refusing to make available to the Borrower the amount of its or their
Commitment Percentage for such Revolving Credit Loans as provided in §12.5.
29
(b) Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any Lender prior to the applicable Drawdown
Date that such Lender will not make available to Agent such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of a
proposed Revolving Credit Loan, Agent may in its discretion assume that such Lender has made such
Revolving Credit Loan available to Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and
the Agent may, if it chooses, in reliance upon such assumption make such Revolving Credit Loan
available to the Borrower, and such Lender shall be liable to the Agent for the amount of such
advance. If such Lender does not pay such corresponding amount upon the Agent’s demand therefor,
the Agent will promptly notify the Borrower, and the Borrower shall promptly pay such corresponding
amount to the Agent. The Agent shall also be entitled to recover from the Lender or the Borrower,
as the case may be, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such
corresponding amount was made available by the Agent to the Borrower to the date such corresponding
amount is recovered by the Agent at a per annum rate equal to (i) from the Borrower at the
applicable rate for such Revolving Credit Loan or (ii) from a Lender at the Federal Funds Effective
Rate.
§2.8 Use of Proceeds. The Borrower will use the proceeds of the Loans and the Letters
of Credit solely to (a) pay closing costs in connection with this Agreement; (b) to finance
Borrower’s direct and indirect investments in Real Estate used or intended to be used as an office
property; (c) for general corporate purposes including working capital, and (d) for other legal
purposes permitted under Borrower’s organizational documents consistent with the covenants
contained herein.
§2.9 Letters of Credit.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, at any time and from time
to time from the Closing Date through the day that is ninety (90) days prior to the Maturity Date,
the Issuing Lender shall issue such Letters of Credit as the Borrower may request upon the delivery
of a written request in the form of Exhibit H hereto (a “Letter of Credit Request”) to the
Issuing Lender, provided that (i) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, (ii) upon issuance of such Letter of Credit, the Letter of Credit Liabilities shall not
exceed Thirty Million Dollars ($30,000,000.00), (iii) in no event shall the sum of (A) the
Revolving Credit Loans Outstanding, (B) the Swing Loans Outstanding and (C) the amount of Letter of
Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to all Letters of Credit requested) exceed the Total
Commitment, (iv) in no event shall the outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans,
Swing Loans and Letters of Credit Liabilities (after giving effect to any requested Letters of
Credit) cause a violation of the covenant set forth in §9.1, (v) the conditions set forth in §§10
and 11 shall have been satisfied, (vi) no Lender is a Delinquent Lender (provided Issuing Lender
may, in its sole discretion, be entitled to waive this condition), and (vii) 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. The Issuing Lender may assume that the conditions in §10 and §11 have been
satisfied unless it receives written notice from a Lender that such conditions have not been
satisfied. Each Letter of Credit Request shall be executed by an Authorized 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 Required
Lenders otherwise consent, the term of any
30
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 sixty (60) days prior to the Maturity Date (but in any event
the term shall not extend beyond the Maturity 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 Total Commitment as a Loan.
(b) Each Letter of Credit Request shall be submitted to the Issuing Lender at least five (5)
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 the
chief financial or chief accounting officer of RPB that the Borrower is 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
(which application as of the date hereof is in the form of Exhibit L attached hereto) 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, subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, issue the
Letter of Credit on or before five (5) Business Days following receipt of the documents last due
pursuant to §2.9(b). Each Letter of Credit shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Issuing Lender in its reasonable discretion.
(d) Upon the issuance of a Letter of Credit, each Revolving Credit Lender shall be deemed to
have purchased a participation therein from Issuing Lender in an amount equal to its respective
Commitment Percentage 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 $1,500 in any event), and (ii) for the accounts of the Lenders (including the
Issuing Lender) 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 Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loans on the amount available to be drawn
under such Letter of Credit. Such fees shall be payable in quarterly installments in arrears with
respect to each Letter of Credit on the first day of each calendar quarter following the date of
issuance and continuing on each quarter or portion thereof thereafter, as applicable, or on any
earlier date on which the 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 documentation charges for Letters of Credit
issued from time to time by Issuing Lender.
31
(f) In the event that any amount is drawn under a Letter of Credit by the beneficiary thereof,
the Borrower shall reimburse the Issuing Lender by having such amount drawn treated as an
outstanding Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan under this Agreement (Borrower being deemed to have
requested a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan on such date in an amount equal to the amount of such
drawing and such amount drawn shall be treated as an outstanding Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan
under this Agreement) and the 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 Agent, for the Issuing Lender’s own account, an amount
equal to such Lender’s Commitment Percentage 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 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 paid to the Agent, at the Federal Funds Effective Rate until
three (3) days after the date on which the Agent gives notice of such draw and at the Federal Funds
Effective Rate plus one percent (1.0%) for each day thereafter. 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 Agent to fund the amount of any drawn Letter of Credit which such Lender was
required to fund pursuant to this §2.9(f) until such amount has been funded (as a result of such
assignment or otherwise). In the event of any such failure or refusal, the Lenders not so failing
or refusing shall be entitled to a priority secured position for such amounts as provided in §12.5.
The failure of any Lender to make funds available to the Agent in such amount shall not relieve
any other Lender of its obligation hereunder to make funds available to the Agent pursuant to this
§2.9(f).
(g) If after the issuance of a Letter of Credit pursuant to §2.9(c) by the Issuing Lender, but
prior to the funding of any portion thereof by a Lender, for any reason a drawing under a Letter of
Credit cannot be refinanced as a Revolving Credit Loan, each Lender will, on the date such
Revolving Credit Loan pursuant to §2.9(f) was to have been made, purchase an undivided
participation interest in the Letter of Credit in an amount equal to its Commitment Percentage 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.
32
(j) The obligations of the Borrower to the Lenders under this Agreement 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 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; (ii) the existence of any claim, set-off, defense or any
right which the Borrower 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 Lenders (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 Document, or any unrelated transaction; (iii) any 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; (iv) any breach of any agreement between Borrower and any beneficiary or transferee of
any Letter of Credit; (v) 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; (vi) payment by the Issuing Lender under any Letter of Credit against presentation of a
sight draft or a certificate 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 as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion
of all applicable appeal periods, and (vii) 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 as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all applicable
appeal periods.
(k) Borrower assumes all risks of the acts, omissions, or misuse of any Letter of Credit by
the beneficiary thereof. Neither 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 Agent or any Lender. None of the foregoing will affect, impair or
prevent the vesting of any of the rights or powers granted to 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 Agent, Issuing Lender or the other Lenders in
good faith will be binding on Borrower and will not put Agent, Issuing Lender or the other
33
Lenders under any resulting liability to Borrower; provided nothing contained herein
shall relieve Issuing Lender for liability to Borrower arising as a result of the gross negligence
or willful misconduct of Issuing Lender as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after
the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods.
§2.10 Increase in Total Commitment.
(a) Provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to
the terms and conditions set forth in this §2.10, the Borrower shall have the option at any time
and from time to time before the date that is ninety (90) days prior to the Maturity Date (or the
extended maturity date if Borrower exercises its extension option pursuant to §2.11) to request an
increase in the Total Commitment to not more than $250,000,000.00 by giving written notice to the
Agent (an “Increase Notice”; and the amount of such requested increase is the “Commitment
Increase”), provided that any such individual increase must be in a minimum amount of
$25,000,000.00. Upon receipt of any Increase Notice, the Agent shall consult with Arranger and
shall notify the Borrower of the amount of facility fees to be paid to any Lenders who provide an
additional Commitment in connection with such increase in the Total Commitment (which shall be in
addition to the fees to be paid to Arranger pursuant to the Agreement Regarding Fees). If the
Borrower agrees to pay the facility fees so determined, then the Agent shall send a notice to all
Lenders (the “Additional Commitment Request Notice”) informing them of the Borrower’s request to
increase the Total Commitment and of the facility fees to be paid with respect thereto. Each
Lender who desires to provide an additional Commitment upon such terms shall provide Agent with a
written commitment letter specifying the amount of the additional Commitment by which it is willing
to provide prior to such deadline as may be specified in the Additional Commitment Request Notice.
If the requested increase is oversubscribed then the Agent and the Arranger shall allocate the
Commitment Increase among the Lenders who provide such commitment letters on such basis as the
Agent and the Arranger shall determine in their sole discretion. If the additional Commitments so
provided are not sufficient to provide the full amount of the Commitment Increase requested by the
Borrower, then the Agent, Arranger or Borrower may, but shall not be obligated to, invite one or
more banks or lending institutions (which banks or lending institutions shall be acceptable to
Agent, Arranger and Borrower) to become a Lender and provide an additional Commitment. The Agent
shall provide all Lenders with a notice setting forth the amount, if any, of the additional
Commitment to be provided by each Lender and the revised Commitment Percentages which shall be
applicable after the effective date of the Commitment Increase specified therein (the “Commitment
Increase Date”). In no event shall any Lender be obligated to provide an additional Commitment.
(b) On any Commitment Increase Date the outstanding principal balance of the Loans shall be
reallocated among the Lenders such that after the applicable Commitment Increase Date the
outstanding principal amount of Loans owed to each Lender shall be equal to such Lender’s
Commitment Percentage (as in effect after the applicable Commitment Increase Date) of the
outstanding principal amount of all Loans. The participation interests of the Lenders in Swing
Loans and Letters of Credit shall be similarly adjusted. On any Commitment Increase Date those
Lenders whose Commitment Percentage is increasing shall advance the funds to the Agent and the
funds so advanced shall be distributed among the Lenders whose Commitment Percentage is decreasing
as necessary to accomplish the required reallocation of the outstanding
34
Loans. The funds so advanced shall be Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans until converted to
Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loans which are allocated among all Lenders based on their Commitment
Percentages. To the extent such reallocation results in certain Lenders receiving funds which are
applied to Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loans prior to the last day of the applicable Interest
Period, then the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the affected Lenders the
Breakage Costs for each such Lender; provided, however, each Lender agrees to apply
any amounts received by them pursuant to this §2.10(b) first to the principal of any Revolving
Credit Base Rate Loans held by such Lender and then to the principal of Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate
Loans held by such Lender.
(c) Upon the effective date of each increase in the Total Commitment pursuant to this §2.10
the Agent may unilaterally revise Schedule 1 and the Borrower shall execute and deliver to
the Agent new Revolving Credit Notes for each Lender whose Commitment has changed so that the
principal amount of such Lender’s Revolving Credit Note shall equal its Commitment. The Agent
shall deliver such replacement Revolving Credit Notes to the respective Lenders in exchange for the
Revolving Credit Notes replaced thereby which shall be surrendered by such Lenders. Such new
Revolving Credit Notes shall provide that they are replacements for the surrendered Revolving
Credit Notes and that they do not constitute a novation, shall be dated as of the Commitment
Increase Date and shall otherwise be in substantially the form of the replaced Revolving Credit
Notes. Within five (5) days of issuance of any new Revolving Credit Notes pursuant to this
§2.10(c), the Borrower shall deliver an opinion of counsel, addressed to the Lenders and the Agent,
relating to the due authorization, execution and delivery of such new Revolving Credit Notes and
the enforceability thereof, in form and substance substantially similar to the opinion delivered in
connection with the first disbursement under this Agreement. The surrendered Revolving Credit Notes
shall be canceled and returned to the Borrower.
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the obligation of the Agent and
the Lenders to increase the Total Commitment pursuant to this §2.10 shall be conditioned upon
satisfaction of the following conditions precedent which must be satisfied prior to the
effectiveness of any increase of the Total Commitment:
(i) Payment of Activation Fee. The Borrower shall pay (A) to the Agent those fees
described in and contemplated by the Agreement Regarding Fees with respect to the applicable
Commitment Increase, and (B) to the Arranger such facility fees as the Lenders who are providing an
additional Commitment may require to increase the aggregate Commitment, which fees shall, when
paid, be fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances. The Arranger shall pay to the
Lenders acquiring the increased Commitment certain fees pursuant to their separate agreement; and
(ii) No Default. On the date any Increase Notice is given and on the date such
increase becomes effective, both immediately before and after the Total Commitment is increased,
there shall exist no Default or Event of Default; and
(iii) Representations True. The representations and warranties made by the Borrower
and the Guarantors in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Borrower and the
Guarantors in connection therewith or after the date thereof shall have been
35
true and correct in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all
material respects on the date of such Increase Notice and on the date the Total Commitment is
increased, both immediately before and after the Total Commitment is increased; and
(iv) Additional Documents and Expenses. The Borrower and the Guarantors shall execute
and deliver to Agent and the Lenders such additional documents (including, without limitation,
amendments to the Security Documents), instruments, certifications and opinions as the Agent may
reasonably require in its sole and absolute discretion, including, without limitation, a Compliance
Certificate, demonstrating compliance with all covenants, representations and warranties set forth
in the Loan Documents after giving effect to the increase, and the Borrower shall pay the cost of
any mortgagee’s title insurance policy or any endorsement or update thereto or any updated UCC
searches, all recording costs and fees, and any and all intangible taxes or other documentary or
mortgage taxes, assessments or charges or any similar fees, taxes or expenses which are demanded in
connection with such increase; and
(v) Other. The Borrower shall satisfy such other conditions to such increase as Agent
may require in its reasonable discretion.
§2.11 Extension of Maturity Date. The Borrower shall have the one-time right and
option to extend the Maturity Date to May 1, 2010, upon satisfaction of the following conditions
precedent, which must be satisfied prior to the effectiveness of any extension of the Maturity
Date:
(a) Extension Request. The Borrower shall deliver written notice of such request (the
“Extension Request”) to the Agent not later than the date which is ninety (90) days prior to the
Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension). Any such Extension Request shall
be irrevocable and binding on the Borrower.
(b) Payment of Extension Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the pro
rata accounts of the Lenders in accordance with their respective Commitments an extension
fee in an amount equal to fifteen (15) basis points on the Total Commitment in effect on the
Maturity Date (as determined without regard to such extension), which fee shall, when paid, be
fully earned and non-refundable under any circumstances.
(c) No Default. On the date the Extension Request is given and on the Maturity Date
(as determined without regard to such extension) there shall exist no Default or Event of Default.
(d) Representations and Warranties. The representations and warranties made by the
Borrower and the Guarantors in the Loan Documents or otherwise made by or on behalf of the Borrower
and the Guarantors in connection therewith or after the date thereof shall have been true and
correct in all material respects when made and shall also be true and correct in all material
respects on the date the Extension Request is given and on the Maturity Date (as determined without
regard to such extension) other than for changes in the ordinary course of business permitted by
this Agreement that have not had a Material Adverse Effect.
36
(e) Updated Appraisals. Agent at its option shall have obtained at Borrower’s expense
new Appraisals or updates to existing Appraisals and determined the current Appraised Values of the
Mortgaged Properties.
§3. REPAYMENT OF THE LOANS.
§3.1 Stated Maturity. The Borrower promises to pay on the Maturity Date and there
shall become absolutely due and payable on the Maturity Date all of the Loans outstanding on such
date, together with any and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon.
§3.2 Mandatory Prepayments. If at any time the sum of the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Swing Loans and the Letter of Credit
Liabilities exceeds (a) the Total Commitment or (b) the Borrowing Base, then the Borrower shall,
within five (5) Business Days of such occurrence (provided that if the aggregate outstanding
principal amount of the Revolving Credit Loans, the Swing Loans and the Letter of Credit
Liabilities exceeds the Borrowing Base as a result of a change in the Appraised Value of one or
more Mortgaged Properties as a result of an Appraisal obtained pursuant to §5.2(b), then the
Borrower shall within five (5) Business Days of receipt of written notice from Agent of such
occurrence), pay the amount of such excess to the Agent for the respective accounts of the Lenders,
as applicable, for application to the Loans as provided in §3.4, together with any additional
amounts payable pursuant to §4.8, except that the amount of any Swing Loans shall be paid solely to
the Swing Loan Lender. In the event there shall have occurred a casualty with respect to any
Mortgaged Property and the Borrower is required to repay the Loans pursuant to §7.7 or a Taking and
the Borrower is required to repay the Loans pursuant to a Mortgage or §7.7, the Borrower shall
prepay the Loans concurrently with the date of receipt by the Borrower or the Agent of any
Insurance Proceeds or Condemnation Proceeds in respect of such casualty or Taking, as applicable,
or as soon thereafter as is reasonably practicable, in the amount required pursuant to the relevant
provisions of §7.7 or such Mortgage.
§3.3 Optional Prepayments. The Borrower shall have the right, at its election, to
prepay the outstanding amount of the Loans, as a whole or in part, at any time without penalty or
premium; provided, that if any prepayment of the outstanding amount of any Revolving Credit
LIBOR Rate Loans pursuant to this §3.3 is made on a date that is not the last day of the Interest
Period relating thereto, such prepayment shall be accompanied by the payment of any amounts due
pursuant to §4.8. The Borrower shall give the Agent, no later than 10:00 a.m. (Cleveland time) at
least three (3) days prior written notice of any prepayment pursuant to this §3.3, in each case
specifying the proposed date of prepayment of the Revolving Credit Loans and the principal amount
to be prepaid (provided that any such notice may be revoked or modified upon one (1) day’s prior
notice to the Agent). Notwithstanding the foregoing, no prior notice shall be required for the
prepayment of any Swing Loan.
§3.4 Partial Prepayments. Each partial prepayment of the Loans under §3.3 shall be in
a minimum amount of $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 in excess thereof, shall
be accompanied by the payment of accrued interest on the principal prepaid to the date of payment.
Each partial payment under §3.2 and §3.3 shall be applied first to the principal of any Outstanding
Swing Loans, then, in the absence of instruction by the Borrower, to the principal of
37
Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans, and then to the principal of Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate
Loans.
§3.5 Effect of Prepayments. Amounts of the Loans prepaid under §3.2 and §3.3 prior to
the Maturity Date may be reborrowed as provided in §2.
§4. CERTAIN GENERAL PROVISIONS.
§4.1 Conversion Options.
(a) The Borrower may elect from time to time to convert any of its outstanding Revolving
Credit Loans to a Revolving Credit Loan of another Type and such Revolving Credit Loans shall
thereafter bear interest as a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan or a Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate
Loan, as applicable; provided that (i) with respect to any such conversion of a Revolving
Credit LIBOR Rate Loan to a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent at
least one (1) Business Day’s prior written notice of such election, and such conversion shall only
be made on the last day of the Interest Period with respect to such Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate
Loan; (ii) with respect to any such conversion of a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan to a Revolving
Credit LIBOR Rate Loan, the Borrower shall give the Agent at least two (2) LIBOR Business Days’
prior written notice of such election and the Interest Period requested for such Loan, the
principal amount of the Loan so converted shall be in a minimum aggregate amount of $1,000,000.00
or an integral multiple of $250,000.00 in excess thereof and, after giving effect to the making of
such Loan, there shall be no more than six (6) Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loans outstanding at any
one time; and (iii) no Loan may be converted into a Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan when any
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. All or any part of the outstanding
Revolving Credit Loans of any Type may be converted as provided herein, provided that no
partial conversion shall result in a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan in a principal amount of less
than $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $100,000.00 or a Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan in
a principal amount of less than $1,000,000.00 or an integral multiple of $250,000.00. On the date
on which such conversion is being made, each Lender shall take such action as is necessary to
transfer its Commitment Percentage of such Loans to its Domestic Lending Office or its LIBOR
Lending Office, as the case may be. Each Conversion/Continuation Request relating to the
conversion of a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan to a Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan shall be
irrevocable by the Borrower.
(b) Any Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such Type upon the expiration of
an Interest Period with respect thereto by compliance by the Borrower with the terms of §4.1;
provided that no Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan may be continued as such when any Default
or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but shall be automatically converted to a
Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest Period relating thereto ending
during the continuance of any Default or Event of Default.
(c) In the event that the Borrower does not notify the Agent of its election hereunder with
respect to any Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan, such Loan shall be automatically converted to a
Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan at the end of the applicable Interest Period.
38
§4.2 Closing Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to KeyBank certain fees for services
rendered or to be rendered in connection with the Loans as provided pursuant to an Agreement
Regarding Fees dated as of even date herewith between the Borrower and KeyBank (the “Agreement
Regarding Fees”). All such fees shall be fully earned when paid and nonrefundable under any
circumstances.
§4.3 Agent’s Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Agent, for the Agent’s own account,
an annual Agent’s fee as provided in the Agreement Regarding Fees. The Agent’s fee shall be
payable as provided in the Agreement Regarding Fees.
§4.4 Funds for Payments.
(a) All payments of principal, interest, facility fees, Letter of Credit fees, closing fees
and any other amounts due hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents shall be made to the
Agent, for the respective accounts of the Lenders and the Agent, as the case may be, at the Agent’s
Head Office, not later than 2:00 p.m. (Cleveland time) on the day when due, in each case in lawful
money of the United States in immediately available funds. The Agent is hereby authorized to
charge the accounts of the Borrower with KeyBank, on the dates when the amount thereof shall become
due and payable, with the amounts of the principal of and interest on the Loans and all fees,
charges, expenses and other amounts owing to the Agent and/or the Lenders (including the Swing Loan
Lender) under the Loan Documents. Subject to the foregoing, all payments made to Agent on behalf
of the Lenders, and actually received by Agent, shall be deemed received by the Lenders on the date
actually received by Agent.
(b) All payments by the Borrower hereunder and under any of the other Loan Documents shall be
made without setoff or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deduction for any taxes
(other than income or franchise taxes imposed on any Lender), levies, imposts, duties, charges,
fees, deductions, withholdings, compulsory loans, restrictions or conditions of any nature now or
hereafter imposed or levied by any federal or state jurisdiction or any political subdivision
thereof or taxing or other authority therein unless the Borrower is compelled by law to make such
deduction or withholding. If any such obligation is imposed upon the Borrower with respect to any
amount payable by it hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents, the Borrower will pay to
the Agent, for the account of the Lenders (including the Swing Loan Lender) or (as the case may be)
the Agent, on the date on which such amount is due and payable hereunder or under such other Loan
Document, such additional amount in Dollars as shall be necessary to enable the Lenders or the
Agent to receive the same net amount which the Lenders or the Agent would have received on such due
date had no such obligation been imposed upon the Borrower. The Borrower will deliver promptly to
the Agent certificates or other valid vouchers for all taxes or other charges deducted from or paid
with respect to payments made by the Borrower hereunder or under any other Loan Document.
(c) Each Lender organized under the laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, if
requested in writing by the Borrower (but only so long as such Lender remains lawfully able to do
so), shall provide the Borrower with such duly executed form(s) or statement(s) which may, from
time to time, be prescribed by law and, which, pursuant to applicable provisions of (i) an income
tax treaty between the United States and the country of residence of such Lender, (ii) the Code, or
(iii) any applicable rules or regulations in effect under (i) or (ii) above, indicates
39
the withholding status of such Lender; provided that nothing herein (including without
limitation the failure or inability to provide such form or statement) shall relieve the Borrower
of its obligations under §4.4(b). In the event that the Borrower shall have delivered the
certificates or vouchers described above for any payments made by the Borrower and such Lender
receives a refund of any taxes paid by the Borrower pursuant to §4.4(b), such Lender will pay to
the Borrower the amount of such refund promptly upon receipt thereof; provided that if at
any time thereafter such Lender is required to return such refund, the Borrower shall promptly
repay to such Lender the amount of such refund.
(d) 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 and to the Swing Loan Lender
with respect to Swing Loans) 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
Lenders (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 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 Default
or 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 or the Swing Loan Lender, as applicable as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
after the exhaustion of all applicable appeal periods.
§4.5 Computations. All computations of interest on the Loans and of other fees to the
extent applicable shall be based on a 360-day year (or a 365 day year in the case of Revolving
40
Credit Base Rate Loans) and paid for the actual number of days elapsed. Except as otherwise
provided in the definition of the term “Interest Period” with respect to Revolving Credit LIBOR
Rate Loans, whenever a payment hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents becomes due on a
day that is not a Business Day, the due date for such payment shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day, and interest shall accrue during such extension. The Outstanding Loans as
reflected on the records of the Agent from time to time shall be considered prima facie evidence of
such amount absent manifest error.
§4.6 Suspension of LIBOR Rate Loans. In the event that, prior to the commencement of
any Interest Period relating to any Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan, the Agent shall determine
that adequate and reasonable methods do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR for such Interest Period,
or the Agent shall reasonably determine that LIBOR will not accurately and fairly reflect the cost
of the Lenders making or maintaining Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loans for such Interest Period,
the Agent shall forthwith give notice of such determination (which shall be conclusive and binding
on the Borrower and the Lenders absent manifest error) to the Borrower and the Lenders. In such
event (a) any Loan Request with respect to a Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan shall be
automatically withdrawn and shall be deemed a request for a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan and (b)
each Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan will automatically, on the last day of the then current
Interest Period applicable thereto, become a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan, and the obligations
of the Lenders to make Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loans shall be suspended until the Agent
determines that the circumstances giving rise to such suspension no longer exist, whereupon the
Agent shall so notify the Borrower and the Lenders.
§4.7 Illegality. Notwithstanding any other provisions herein, if any present or
future law, regulation, treaty or directive or the interpretation or application thereof shall make
it unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority having jurisdiction over a Lender
or its LIBOR Lending Office shall assert that it is unlawful, for any Lender to make or maintain
Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loans, such Lender shall forthwith give notice of such circumstances to
the Agent and the Borrower and thereupon (a) the commitment of the Lenders to make Revolving Credit
LIBOR Rate Loans shall forthwith be suspended and (b) the Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loans then
outstanding shall be converted automatically to Revolving Credit Base Rate Loans on the last day of
each Interest Period applicable to such Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loans or within such earlier
period as may be required by law. Notwithstanding the foregoing, before giving such notice, the
applicable Lender shall designate a different lending office if such designation will void the need
for giving such notice and will not, in the judgment of such Lender, be otherwise materially
disadvantageous to such Lender or increase any costs payable by Borrower hereunder.
§4.8 Additional Interest. If any Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan or any portion
thereof is repaid or is converted to a Revolving Credit Base Rate Loan for any reason on a date
which is prior to the last day of the Interest Period applicable to such Revolving Credit LIBOR
Rate Loan, or if repayment of the Loans has been accelerated as provided in §12.1, the Borrower
will pay to the Agent upon demand for the account of the applicable Lenders in accordance with
their respective Commitment Percentages (or to the Swing Loan Lender with respect to a Swing Loan),
in addition to any amounts of interest otherwise payable hereunder, the Breakage Costs. Upon
request of Borrower, the applicable Lender shall submit an invoice to Borrower of its
41
Breakage Costs. Borrower understands, agrees and acknowledges the following: (i) no Lender
has any obligation to purchase, sell and/or match funds in connection with the use of LIBOR as a
basis for calculating the rate of interest on a Revolving Credit LIBOR Rate Loan; (ii) LIBOR is
used merely as a reference in determining such rate; and (iii) Borrower has accepted LIBOR as a
reasonable and fair basis for calculating such rate and any Breakage Costs. Borrower further
agrees to pay the Breakage Costs, if any, whether or not a Lender elects to purchase, sell and/or
match funds.
§4.9 Additional Costs, Etc. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if any
present or future applicable federal or state law, which expression, as used herein, includes
statutes, rules and regulations thereunder and interpretations thereof by any competent court or by
any governmental or other regulatory body or official charged with the administration or the
interpretation thereof and requests, directives, instructions and notices at any time or from time
to time hereafter made upon or otherwise issued to any Lender or the Agent by any federal or state
central bank or other federal or state fiscal, monetary or other authority (whether or not having
the force of law), shall:
(a) subject any Lender or the Agent to any tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, fee, deduction or
withholding of any nature with respect to this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, such Lender’s
Commitment, a Letter of Credit or the Loans (other than taxes based upon or measured by the gross
receipts, income or profits of such Lender or the Agent or its franchise tax), or
(b) materially change the basis of taxation (except for changes in taxes on gross receipts,
income or profits or its franchise tax) of payments to any Lender of the principal of or the
interest on any Loans or any other amounts payable to any Lender under this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents, or
(c) impose or increase or render applicable any special deposit, reserve, assessment,
liquidity, capital adequacy or other similar requirements (whether or not having the force of law
and which are not already reflected in any amounts payable by Borrower hereunder) against assets
held by, or deposits in or for the account of, or loans by, or commitments of an office of any
Lender, or
(d) impose on any Lender or the Agent any other conditions or requirements with respect to
this Agreement, the other Loan Documents, the Loans, such Lender’s Commitment, a Letter of Credit
or any class of loans or commitments of which any of the Loans or such Lender’s Commitment forms a
part; and the result of any of the foregoing is:
(i) to increase the cost to any Lender of making, funding, issuing, renewing, extending or
maintaining any of the Loans, the Letters of Credit or such Lender’s Commitment, or
(ii) to reduce the amount of principal, interest or other amount payable to any Lender or the
Agent hereunder on account of such Lender’s Commitment or any of the Loans or the Letters of
Credit, or
42
(iii) to require any Lender or the Agent to make any payment or to forego any interest or
other sum payable hereunder, the amount of which payment or foregone interest or other sum is
calculated by reference to the gross amount of any sum receivable or deemed received by such Lender
or the Agent from the Borrower hereunder, then, and in each such case, the Borrower will, within
fifteen (15) days of demand made by such Lender or (as the case may be) the Agent at any time and
from time to time and as often as the occasion therefor may arise, pay to such Lender or the Agent
such additional amounts as such Lender or the Agent shall determine in good faith to be sufficient
to compensate such Lender or the Agent for such additional cost, reduction, payment or foregone
interest or other sum. Each Lender and the Agent in determining such amounts may use any
reasonable averaging and attribution methods generally applied by such Lender or the Agent.
§4.10 Capital Adequacy. If after the date hereof any Lender determines that (a) the
adoption of or change in any federal or state law, rule, regulation or guideline regarding capital
requirements for banks or bank holding companies or any change in the interpretation or application
thereof by any federal or state governmental authority charged with the administration thereof, or
(b) compliance by such Lender or its parent bank holding company with any federal or state
guideline, request or directive of any such entity regarding capital adequacy (whether or not
having the force of law), has the effect of reducing the return on such Lender’s or such holding
company’s capital as a consequence of such Lender’s commitment to make Loans or participate in
Letters of Credit hereunder to a level below that which such Lender or holding company could have
achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender’s or
such holding company’ s then existing policies with respect to capital adequacy and assuming the
full utilization of such entity’s capital) by any amount deemed by such Lender to be material, then
such Lender may notify the Borrower thereof. The Borrower agrees to pay to such Lender the amount
of such reduction in the return on capital as and when such reduction is determined, upon
presentation by such Lender of a statement of the amount setting forth the Lender’s calculation
thereof. In determining such amount, such Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution
methods generally applied by such Lender.
§4.11 Breakage Costs. Borrower shall pay all Breakage Costs required to be paid by it
pursuant to this Agreement and incurred from time to time by any Lender upon demand within fifteen
(15) days from receipt of written notice from Agent, or such earlier date as may be required by
this Agreement.
§4.12 Default Interest; Late Charge. Following the occurrence and during the
continuance of any Event of Default, and regardless of whether or not the Agent or the Lenders
shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans, all Loans shall bear interest payable on demand
at a rate per annum equal to three percent (3.0%) above the Base Rate (the “Default Rate”), until
such amount shall be paid in full (after as well as before judgment), and the fee payable with
respect to Letters of Credit shall be increased to a rate equal to three percent (3.0%) above the
Letter of Credit fee that would otherwise be applicable to such time, or if any of such amounts
shall exceed the maximum rate permitted by law, then at the maximum rate permitted by law. In
addition, the Borrower shall pay a late charge equal to four percent (4.0%) of any amount of
interest and/or principal payable on the Loans or any other amounts payable hereunder or under the
other Loan Documents, which is not paid by the Borrower within ten (10) days of the date when due.
43
§4.13 Certificate. A certificate setting forth any amounts payable pursuant to §4.8,
§4.9, §4.10, §4.11 or §4.12 and a reasonably detailed explanation of such amounts which are due,
submitted by any Lender or the Agent to the Borrower, shall be conclusive in the absence of
manifest error.
§4.14 Limitation on Interest. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the other
Loan Documents to the contrary, all agreements between or among the Borrower, the Guarantors, the
Lenders and the 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
thereon for such full period shall not exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This
Section shall control all agreements between or among the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Lenders and
the Agent.
§4.15 Certain Provisions Relating to Increased Costs and Non-Funding Lenders. If a
Lender gives notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth in §4.7 or any Lender requests
compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant to any one or more of the provisions
of §4.9 or §4.10, then, upon request of Borrower, such Lender, as applicable, shall use reasonable
efforts in a manner consistent with such institution’s practice in connection with loans like the
Loan of such Lender to eliminate, mitigate or reduce amounts that would otherwise be payable by
Borrower under the foregoing provisions, provided that such action would not be otherwise
prejudicial to such Lender, including, without limitation, by designating another of such Lender’s
offices, branches or affiliates; the Borrower agreeing to pay all reasonably incurred costs and
expenses incurred by such Lender in connection with any such action. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, if no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, and if any Lender (a) has given notice of the existence of the circumstances set forth
in §4.7 or has requested payment or compensation for any losses or costs to be reimbursed pursuant
to any one or more of the provisions of §4.9 or §4.10 (each, an “Affected Lender”) or (b) has
failed to make available to Agent its pro rata share of any Loan or participation in a Letter of
Credit or Swing Loan and such failure has not been cured (a “Non-Funding Lender”), then, within
thirty (30) days after such notice or request for payment or compensation or failure to fund, as
applicable, Borrower shall have the one-time right as to such Affected Lender or Non-Funding
Lender, as applicable, to be exercised by delivery of written notice delivered to the Agent and the
Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, within thirty (30) days of receipt of such
notice or failure to fund, as applicable, to elect to cause the Affected Lender or Non-Funding
Lender, as applicable, to transfer its Commitment. The
44
Agent shall promptly notify the remaining Lenders that each of such Lenders shall have the
right, but not the obligation, to acquire a portion of the Commitment, pro rata based upon their
relevant Commitment Percentages, of the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable (or if
any of such Lenders does not elect to purchase its pro rata share, then to such remaining Lenders
in such proportion as approved by the Agent). In the event that the Lenders do not elect to
acquire all of the Affected Lender’s or Non-Funding Lender’s Commitment, then the Agent shall
endeavor to obtain a new Lender to acquire such remaining Commitment. Upon any such purchase of
the Commitment of the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, the Affected Lender’s
or Non-Funding Lender’s interest in the Obligations and its rights hereunder and under the Loan
Documents shall terminate at the date of purchase, and the Affected Lender or Non-Funding Lender,
as applicable, shall promptly execute all documents reasonably requested to surrender and transfer
such interest. The purchase price for the Affected Lender’s or Non-Funding Lender’s Commitment
shall equal any and all amounts outstanding and owed by Borrower to the Affected Lender or
Non-Funding Lender, as applicable, including principal and all accrued and unpaid interest or fees.
§5. COLLATERAL SECURITY.
§5.1 Collateral. The Obligations shall be secured by (i) a perfected first priority
lien to be held by the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders on the Mortgaged Properties, pursuant
to the terms of the Mortgages, (ii) a perfected first priority security interest to be held by the
Agent for the benefit of the Lenders in the Leases pursuant to the terms of the Assignments of
Leases and Rents and (iii) the Indemnity Agreements and the other Security Documents. The
Obligations shall be guaranteed by the Guarantors pursuant to the Guaranty.
§5.2 Appraisals; Adjusted Value.
(a) Upon Borrower’s request, which request may not be made more often than one (1) time in any
period of 365 days, Agent shall obtain current Appraisals of each of the Mortgaged Properties.
Additionally, in the event that Borrower elects to extend the Maturity Date as provided in §2.11,
then the Agent may on behalf of the Lenders (either in connection with any such extension or at any
time thereafter) obtain current Appraisals of each of the Mortgaged Properties. In any such case,
said Appraisals will be ordered by Agent and reviewed and approved by the appraisal department of
the Agent, in order to determine the current Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Properties, and the
Borrower shall pay to Agent within fifteen (15) Business Days of demand all reasonable costs of
such Appraisals.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of §5.2(a), the Agent may, for the purpose of determining
the current Appraised Value of the Mortgaged Properties, obtain new Appraisals or an update to
existing Appraisals with respect to the Mortgaged Properties, or any of them, as the Agent shall
determine (i) at any time that the regulatory requirements of any Lender generally applicable to
real estate loans of the category made under this Agreement as reasonably interpreted by such
Lender shall require more frequent Appraisals, or (ii) at any time following a Default or Event of
Default, or (iii) if the Agent reasonably believes that there has been a material adverse change
with respect to any Mortgaged Property including, without limitation, a material change in the
market in which any Mortgaged Property is located which may affect the value of such Mortgaged
Property. The expense of such Appraisals and/or updates performed
45
pursuant to this §5.2(b) shall be borne by the Borrower and payable to Agent within fifteen
(15) days of demand; provided the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay for an Appraisal
of a Mortgaged Property obtained pursuant to this §5.2(b) more often than once in any period of
twelve (12) months.
(c) The Borrower acknowledges that the Agent has the right to approve any Appraisal performed
pursuant to this Agreement. The Borrower further agrees that the Lenders and Agent do not make any
representations or warranties with respect to any such Appraisal and shall have no liability as a
result of or in connection with any such Appraisal for statements contained in such Appraisal,
including without limitation, the accuracy and completeness of information, estimates, conclusions
and opinions contained in such Appraisal, or variance of such Appraisal from the fair value of such
property that is the subject of such Appraisal given by the local tax assessor’s office, or the
Borrower’s idea of the value of such property.
§5.3 Addition of Mortgaged Properties.
(a) After the Closing Date, the Borrower shall have the right, subject to the consent of the
Agent and the Required Lenders (which consent may be withheld in their sole and absolute
discretion) and the satisfaction by the Borrower of the conditions set forth in this §5.3, to add
Potential Collateral to the Collateral. The Borrower from time to time after the Closing Date may
also request that certain Real Estate of one or more Subsidiary Guarantors (collectively, the
“Guarantor Collateral”) be included as a Mortgaged Property for the purpose of increasing the
Borrowing Base. In the event the Borrower desires to add additional Potential Collateral or
Guarantor Collateral as aforesaid, the Borrower shall provide written notice to the Agent of such
request (which the Agent shall promptly furnish to the Lenders), together with all documentation
and other information required to permit the Agent to determine whether such Real Estate is
Eligible Real Estate. Thereafter, the Agent shall have ten (10) Business Days from the date of the
receipt of such documentation and other information to advise the Borrower whether the Required
Lenders consent to the acceptance of such Guarantor Collateral or Potential Collateral.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Guarantor Collateral or Potential Collateral shall be included
as Collateral unless and until the following conditions precedent shall have been satisfied:
(i) such Guarantor Collateral or Potential Collateral shall be Eligible Real Estate;
(ii) the owner of any Guarantor Collateral (and any indirect owner of such Subsidiary
Guarantor) shall have executed a Joinder Agreement and satisfied the conditions of §5.5;
(iii) the Borrower or the owner of the Guarantor Collateral or Potential Collateral, as
applicable, shall have executed and delivered to the Agent all Eligible Real Estate Qualification
Documents (which may include an assignment of interests with respect to any direct or indirect
interests in the owner of such Guarantor Collateral), all of which instruments, documents or
agreements shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Agent;
46
(iv) after giving effect to the inclusion of such Guarantor Collateral or Potential
Collateral, each of the representations and warranties made by or on behalf of the Borrower or the
Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement, the other Loan
Documents or in any document or instrument delivered pursuant to or in connection with this
Agreement shall be true in all material respects both as of the date as of which it was made and
shall also be true as of the time of the replacement or addition of Mortgaged Properties, with the
same effect as if made at and as of that time (it being understood and agreed that any
representation or warranty which by its terms is made as of a specified date shall be required to
be true and correct only as of such specified date), and no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing (including, without limitation, any Default under §9.6), and the Agent
shall have received a certificate of the Borrower to such effect; and
(v) the Agent shall have consented to, and Agent shall have received the prior written consent
of the Required Lenders to, the inclusion of such Real Estate as a Mortgaged Property.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event such Guarantor Collateral or Potential Collateral
does not qualify as Eligible Real Estate, so long as the conditions set forth in clauses (ii),
(iii) and (iv) of this §5.3 have been satisfied, such Guarantor Collateral or Potential Collateral
shall be included as Collateral so long as the Agent shall have received the prior written consent
of each of the Lenders to the inclusion of such Real Estate as a Mortgaged Property.
(b) Borrower may, at its option, obtain preliminary approval of the Required Lenders of
Guarantor Collateral or Potential Collateral by delivering to the Agent and each of the Lenders the
following with respect to such Guarantor Collateral or Potential Collateral:
(i) a physical description of the Real Estate;
(ii) current rent rolls, historic operating statements and operating and capital budgets (if
available to Borrower), and projected operating and near-term capital expenditure budgets for such
Real Estate reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders;
(iii) a current environmental report, a current engineering report and similar information
reasonably satisfactory to the Required Lenders; and
(iv) a certification to the knowledge of Borrower that such Real Estate will satisfy (or is
anticipated to satisfy upon the acceptance of such Real Estate as Collateral) each of the other
conditions to the acceptance of Real Estate as Collateral. The Required Lenders shall have ten
(10) Business Days following receipt of all of the foregoing items to grant or deny preliminary
approval for such proposed Guarantor Collateral or Potential Collateral. If a Lender shall fail to
respond within such ten (10) Business Day period, such Lender shall be deemed to have approved such
proposed Guarantor Collateral or Potential Collateral. Agent shall notify the Borrower if and when
the Required Lenders have granted such preliminary approval. In the event that the Required
Lenders grant such preliminary approval, the Borrower shall satisfy the remaining requirements to
the acceptance of such Collateral as provided in
47
§5.3(a). Such Real Estate shall not be included in the Borrowing Base until the requirements
of §5.3(a) are satisfied.
§5.4 Release of Mortgaged Property. Provided no Default or Event of Default shall
have occurred hereunder and be continuing (or would exist immediately after giving effect to the
transactions contemplated by this §5.4), the Agent shall release a Mortgaged Property from the lien
or security title of the Security Documents encumbering the same upon the request of the Borrower
subject to and upon the following terms and conditions:
(a) the Borrower shall deliver to the Agent written notice of its desire to obtain such
release no later than ten (10) days prior to the date on which such release is to be effected;
(b) the Borrower shall submit to the Agent with such request a Compliance Certificate prepared
using the financial statements of the Borrower most recently provided or required to be provided to
the Agent under §6.4 or §7.4 adjusted in the best good faith estimate of the Borrower to give
effect to the proposed release and demonstrating that no Default or Event of Default with respect
to the covenants referred to therein shall exist after giving effect to such release;
(c) all release documents to be executed by the Agent shall be in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Agent;
(d) the Borrower shall pay all reasonable costs and expenses of the Agent in connection with
such release, including without limitation, reasonable attorney’s fees;
(e) the Borrower shall pay to the Agent for the account of the Lenders a release price, which
payment shall be applied to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loans as provided in
§3.4, in an amount equal to the amount necessary to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the
Loans so that no violation of the covenant set forth in §9.1 shall occur;
(f) without limiting or affecting any other provision hereof, any release of a Mortgaged
Property will not cause the Borrower to be in violation of the covenants set forth in §9.6.
§5.5 Additional Guarantors. In the event that Borrower shall request that certain
Real Estate of a Subsidiary of Borrower be included as a Mortgaged Property as contemplated by §5.3
and such Real Estate is approved for inclusion as a Mortgaged Property in accordance with the terms
hereof, Borrower shall cause each such Subsidiary (and any entity having an interest in such
Subsidiary of Borrower) to execute and deliver to Agent a Joinder Agreement, and such Subsidiary
(and any such entity) shall become a Guarantor hereunder. Each such Subsidiary shall be
specifically authorized, in accordance with its respective organizational documents, to guarantee
the Obligations and to execute the Contribution Agreement and such Security Documents as Agent may
require. Borrower shall further cause all representations, covenants and agreements in the Loan
Documents with respect to Guarantors to be true and correct with respect to each such Subsidiary.
In connection with the delivery of such Guaranty, Borrower shall deliver to the Agent such
organizational agreements, resolutions, consents, opinions and other documents and instruments as
the Agent may reasonably require.
48
§5.6 Release of Certain Subsidiary Guarantors. In the event that all Mortgaged
Properties owned by a Subsidiary Guarantor shall have been released as Collateral for the
Obligations in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, then such Subsidiary Guarantor shall be
released by Agent from liability under the Guaranty. The provisions of this §5.6 shall not apply
to any Guarantor which owns a Mortgaged Property or any direct or indirect interest in a Mortgaged
Property.
§5.7 Release of Collateral. Upon the refinancing or repayment of the Obligations in
full, then the Agent shall be entitled to release the Collateral from the lien and security
interest of the Security Documents and to release the Guarantors.

investigation and inquiry.
§6.21 Subsidiaries; Organizational Structure. Schedule 6.21(a) sets forth, as
of the date hereof, all of the Subsidiaries of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, the form and
jurisdiction of organization of each of the Subsidiaries, and the owners of the direct and indirect
ownership interests therein. Schedule 6.21(b) sets forth, as of the date hereof, all of
the Unconsolidated Affiliates of the Borrower and its Subsidiaries, the form and jurisdiction of

interest in Borrower.
§6.22 Leases. The Borrower has delivered to the Agent true copies of the Leases and
any amendments thereto relating to each Mortgaged Property required to be delivered as a part of
the Eligible Real Estate Qualification Documents as of the date hereof. An accurate and complete
Rent Roll as of the date of inclusion of each Mortgaged Property in the Collateral with respect to
all Leases of any portion of the Mortgaged Property has been provided to the Agent. The Leases
reflected on such Rent Roll constitute as of the date thereof the sole agreements relating to
leasing or licensing of space at such Mortgaged Property and in the Building relating thereto. No
tenant under any Lease is entitled to any free rent, partial rent, rebate of rent payments, credit,
offset or deduction in rent, including, without limitation, lease support payments or lease
buy-outs, except as reflected in such Rent Roll. Except as set forth in Schedule 6.22, the
Leases reflected therein are, as of the date of inclusion of the applicable Mortgaged Property in
the Collateral, in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms, without any
payment default or any other material default thereunder, nor are there any defenses,
counterclaims, offsets, concessions or rebates available to any tenant thereunder, and except as
reflected in Schedule 6.22, neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor has given or made, any notice of
any payment or other material default, or any claim, which remains uncured or unsatisfied, with
respect to any of the Leases, and to the best of the knowledge and belief of the Borrower, there is
no basis for any such claim or notice of default by any tenant. No property other than the
Mortgaged Property which is the subject of the applicable Lease is necessary to comply with the
requirements (including, without limitation, parking requirements) contained in such Lease.
§6.23 Property. All of the Mortgaged Properties, and all major building systems
located thereon, are structurally sound, in good condition and working order and free from material
defects, subject to ordinary wear and tear, except for such portion of such Real Estate which is
not occupied by any tenant and which may not be in final working order pending final build-out of
such space. All of the other Real Estate of the Borrower, Guarantors and their respective
Subsidiaries is structurally sound, in good condition and working order, subject to ordinary wear
and tear, except for such portion of such Real Estate which is not occupied by any tenant and where
such defects have not had and could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Such Real Estate, and the use and operation thereof, is in material compliance with all applicable
federal and state law and governmental regulations and any local ordinances, orders or regulations,
including without limitation, laws, regulations and ordinances relating to zoning, building codes,
subdivision, fire protection, health, safety, handicapped access, historic preservation and
protection, wetlands, tidelands, and Environmental Laws. All water, sewer, electric, gas,
telephone and other utilities necessary for the use and operation of the Mortgaged Property are
installed to the property lines of the Mortgaged Property through dedicated public rights of way or
through perpetual private easements approved by the Agent with respect to which the applicable
Mortgage creates a valid and enforceable first lien and, except in the case of drainage facilities,
are connected to the Building located thereon with valid permits and are adequate to service the
Building in compliance with applicable law. The streets abutting the Mortgaged Property are
dedicated and accepted public roads, to which the Mortgaged Property has direct access by trucks
and other motor vehicles and by foot, or are perpetual private ways
56
(with direct access by trucks and other motor vehicles and by foot to public roads) to which
the Mortgaged Property has direct access approved by the Agent and with respect to which the
applicable Mortgage creates a valid and enforceable first lien. All private ways providing access
to the Mortgaged Property are zoned in a manner which will permit access to the Building over such
ways by trucks and other commercial and industrial vehicles. There are no unpaid or outstanding
real estate or other taxes or assessments on or against any of the Mortgaged Properties which are
payable by the Borrower or any Guarantor (except only real estate or other taxes or assessments,
that are not yet delinquent or are being protested as permitted by this Agreement). Each Mortgaged
Property is separately assessed for purposes of real estate tax assessment and payment. There are
no unpaid or outstanding real estate or other taxes or assessments on or against any other property
of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries which are payable by any of
such Persons in any material amount (except only real estate or other taxes or assessments, that
are not yet delinquent or are being protested as permitted by this Agreement). There are no
pending, or to the knowledge of Borrower threatened or contemplated, eminent domain proceedings
against any of the Mortgaged Properties. There are no pending eminent domain proceedings against
any other property of the Borrower, the Guarantors or their respective Subsidiaries or any part
thereof, and, to the knowledge of the Borrower, no such proceedings are presently threatened or
contemplated by any taking authority which may individually or in the aggregate have any Material
Adverse Effect. None of the Mortgaged Properties is now damaged as a result of any fire,
explosion, accident, flood or other casualty. None of the other property of the Borrower, the
Guarantors or their respective Subsidiaries is now damaged as a result of any fire, explosion,
accident, flood or other casualty in any manner which individually or in the aggregate has had or
could reasonably be expected to have any Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Borrower nor any of
the Guarantors has received any outstanding notice from any insurer or its agent requiring
performance of any work with respect to any of the Mortgaged Properties or canceling or threatening
to cancel any policy of insurance, and each of the Mortgaged Properties complies with the material
requirements of all of the Borrower’s and the Guarantor’s insurance carriers. Except as listed on
Schedule 6.23, the Borrower has no Management Agreements for any of the Mortgaged
Properties. To the best knowledge of the Borrower, there are no material claims or any bases for
material claims in respect of any Mortgaged Property or its operation by any party to any service
agreement or Management Agreement. Except as set forth in Schedule 6.23, there are no
material agreements pertaining to any Mortgaged Property, any Building thereon or the operation or
maintenance of either thereof other than as described in this Agreement (including the Schedules
hereto) or the Title Policies; and no person or entity has any right or option to acquire any
Mortgaged Property or any Building thereon or any portion thereof or interest therein.
§6.24 Brokers. Neither the Borrower, any Guarantor nor any of their respective
Subsidiaries has engaged or otherwise dealt with any broker, finder or similar entity in connection
with this Agreement or the Loans contemplated hereunder.
§6.25 Other Debt. Neither the Borrower, any Guarantor nor any of their respective
Subsidiaries is in default of the payment of any Indebtedness or the performance of any related
agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, security agreement, financing agreement, indenture or lease to
which any of them is a party. Neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor is a party to or bound by any
agreement, instrument or indenture that may require the subordination in right or time or
57
payment of any of the Obligations to any other indebtedness or obligation of the Borrower or
any Guarantor. Schedule 6.25 hereto sets forth all agreements, mortgages, deeds of trust,
financing agreements or other material agreements (excluding general obligations of any Guarantor
as a landlord under space leases at any Mortgaged Property) binding upon the Borrower and each
Guarantor or their respective properties and entered into by the Borrower and/or such Guarantor as
of the date of this Agreement with respect to any Indebtedness of the Borrower or any Guarantor in
an amount greater than $1,000,000.00, and the Borrower has provided the Agent with true, correct
and complete copies thereof.
§6.26 Solvency. As of the Closing Date and after giving effect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, including all Loans made or to be made
hereunder, neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor is insolvent on a balance sheet basis such that
the sum of such Person’s assets exceeds the sum of such Person’s liabilities, the Borrower and each
Guarantor is able to pay its debts as they become due, and the Borrower and each Guarantor has
sufficient capital to carry on its business.
§6.27 No Bankruptcy Filing. None of the Borrower or any Guarantor is contemplating
either the filing of a petition by it under any state or federal bankruptcy or insolvency laws or
the liquidation of its assets or property, and the Borrower has no knowledge of any Person
contemplating the filing of any such petition against it or any Guarantor.
§6.28 No Fraudulent Intent. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents nor the performance of any actions required hereunder or thereunder
is being undertaken by the Borrower or any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries with
or as a result of any actual intent by any of such Persons to hinder, delay or defraud any entity
to which any of such Persons is now or will hereafter become indebted.
§6.29 Transaction in Best Interests of Borrower; Consideration. The transaction
evidenced by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents is in the best interests of the Borrower,
each Guarantor, their respective Subsidiaries and, to Borrower’s belief, the creditors of such
Persons. The direct and indirect benefits to inure to the Borrower, its Subsidiaries, the
Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents constitute substantially more than “reasonably equivalent value” (as such term is used in
§548 of the Bankruptcy Code) and “valuable consideration,” “fair value,” and “fair consideration,”
(as such terms are used in any applicable state fraudulent conveyance law), in exchange for the
benefits to be provided by the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective Subsidiaries pursuant
to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and but for the willingness of each Guarantor to
guaranty the Loan, the Borrower would be unable to obtain the financing contemplated hereunder
which financing will enable the Borrower, each Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries to have
available financing to conduct and expand their business. Borrower and Guarantors further
acknowledge and agree that Borrower and Guarantors constitute a single integrated and common
enterprise and that each receives a benefit from the availability of credit under this Agreement.
§6.30 Contribution Agreement. The Borrower and the Guarantors have executed and
delivered the Contribution Agreement, and the Contribution Agreement constitutes the valid and
legally binding obligations of such parties enforceable against them in accordance with the terms
58
and provisions thereof, except as enforceability is limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of
creditors’ rights and except to the extent that availability of the remedy of specific performance
or injunctive relief is subject to the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor
may be brought.
§6.31 Reaffirmation of Representations. Borrower hereby restates and reaffirms each
of the representations and warranties made by Borrower set forth in the Mortgage and the Assignment
of Leases and Rents as if the same were fully set forth herein. Borrower has no knowledge that any
of the representations or warranties of the Guarantors contained in the Mortgage, the Assignment of
Leases and Rents or any other Loan Document are untrue or inaccurate in any respect.
§6.32 OFAC. None of the Borrower or the Guarantors is (or will be) a person with whom
any Lender is restricted from doing business under OFAC (including, those Persons named on OFAC’s
Specially Designated and Blocked Persons list) or under any statute, executive order (including the
September 24, 2001 Executive Order Blocking Property and Prohibiting Transactions With Persons Who
Commit, Threaten to Commit, or Support Terrorism), or other governmental action and is not and
shall not engage in any dealings or transactions or otherwise be associated with such persons. In
addition, Borrower hereby agrees to provide to the Lenders any additional information that a Lender
deems necessary from time to time in order to ensure compliance with all applicable laws concerning
money laundering and similar activities.
§7. AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.
The Borrower covenants and agrees that, so long as any Loan, Note or Letter of Credit is
outstanding or any Lender has any obligation to make any Loans or issue Letters of Credit:

presentations and demands to or upon the Borrower or such Guarantor in respect of the Loan

betterments and improvements thereof in all cases in which the failure so to do would have a
material adverse effect on the condition of any Mortgaged Property or would cause a Material
Adverse Effect. Without limitation of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement with
respect to the maintenance of the Mortgaged Properties, the Borrower shall promptly and diligently
comply with the recommendations of the Environmental Engineer concerning the maintenance, operation
or upkeep of the Mortgaged Properties contained in the building inspection and environmental
reports delivered to the Agent or otherwise obtained by Borrower or any Guarantor with respect to
the Mortgaged Property.

without limitation, bodily injury and personal and advertising injury) and property damage

operations coverage for a period of two (2) years following completion of construction of any
improvements on the Real Estate, and coverages equivalent to an ISO broad form endorsement), with a
general aggregate limit of not less than $2,000,000.00, a completed operations aggregate limit of
not less than $2,000,000.00, and a combined single “per occurrence” limit of not less than
$1,000,000.00 for bodily injury, property damage and medical payments;

65
(vii) above, with coverage at least as broad as the primary coverages of the insurance
required by clauses (v), (vi) and (vii) above, with any excess liability insurance to be at least
as broad as the coverages of the lead umbrella policy. All such policies shall be endorsed to
provide defense coverage obligations;
(ix) Workers’ compensation insurance for all employees of the Borrower or its Subsidiaries
engaged on or with respect to the Real Estate with limits as required by applicable law; and
(x) Such other insurance in such form and in such amounts as may from time to time be
reasonably required by the Agent against other insurable hazards and casualties which at the time
are commonly insured against in the case of properties of similar character and location to the
Real Estate.
The Borrower shall pay all premiums on insurance policies. The insurance policies with
respect to all Mortgaged Property provided for in clauses (v), (vi) and (viii) above shall name the
Agent and each Lender as an additional insured and shall contain a cross liability/severability
endorsement. The insurance policies provided for in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) and (iv) above shall
name the Agent as mortgagee and loss payee, shall be first payable in case of loss to the Agent,
and shall contain mortgage clauses and lender’s loss payable endorsements in form and substance
acceptable to the Agent. The Borrower shall deliver duplicate originals or certified copies of all
such policies to the Agent, and the Borrower shall promptly furnish to the Agent all renewal
notices and evidence that all premiums or portions thereof then due and payable have been paid. At
least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration date of the policies, the Borrower shall deliver to
the Agent evidence of continued coverage, including a certificate of insurance, as may be
satisfactory to the Agent.
(b) All policies of insurance required by this Agreement shall contain clauses or endorsements
to the effect that (i) no act or omission of the Borrower or any Subsidiary or anyone acting for
the Borrower or any Subsidiary (including, without limitation, any representations made in the
procurement of such insurance), which might otherwise result in a forfeiture of such insurance or
any part thereof, no occupancy or use of the Real Estate for purposes more hazardous then permitted
by the terms of the policy, and no foreclosure or any other change in title to the Real Estate or
any part thereof, shall affect the validity or enforceability of such insurance insofar as the
Agent is concerned, (ii) the insurer waives any right of set off, counterclaim, subrogation, or any
deduction in respect of any liability of the Borrower or any Subsidiary and the Agent, (iii) such
insurance is primary and without right of contribution from any other insurance which may be

expiration date thereof without the insurer thereunder giving at least thirty (30) days prior
written notice to the Agent by certified or registered mail, and (v) that the Agent or the Lenders
shall not be liable for any premiums thereon or subject to any assessments thereunder, and shall in
all events be in amounts sufficient to avoid any coinsurance liability.
(c) The insurance required by this Agreement may be effected through a blanket policy or
policies covering additional locations and property of the Borrower and other Persons not included
in the Mortgage Property, provided that such blanket policy or policies
66
comply with all of the terms and provisions of this §7.7 and contain endorsements or clauses
assuring that any claim recovery will not be less than that which a separate policy would provide,
including, without limitation, a priority claim provision with respect to property insurance and an
aggregate limits of insurance endorsement in the case of liability insurance.
(d) All policies of insurance required by this Agreement shall be issued by companies licensed
to do business in the State where the policy is issued and also in the States where the Real Estate
is located and having a rating in Best’s Key Rating Guide of at least “A” and a financial size
category of at least “X.”
(e) Neither the Borrower nor any Subsidiary shall carry separate insurance, concurrent in kind
or form or contributing in the event of loss, with any insurance required under this Agreement
unless such insurance complies with the terms and provisions of this §7.7.
(f) In the event of any loss or damage to the Mortgaged Property, the Borrower or the
applicable Guarantor shall give prompt written notice to the insurance carrier and the Agent. Each
of the Borrower and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably authorizes and empowers the Agent, at the
Agent’s option and in the Agent’s sole discretion or at the request of the Required Lenders in
their sole discretion, as its attorney in fact, to make proof of such loss, to adjust and
compromise any claim under insurance policies, to appear in and prosecute any action arising from
such insurance policies, to collect and receive Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds, and
to deduct therefrom the Agent’s reasonable expenses incurred in the collection of such Insurance
Proceeds; provided, however, that so long as no Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing and so long as the Borrower or any Guarantor shall in good faith
diligently pursue such claim, the Borrower or such Guarantor may make proof of loss and appear in
any proceedings or negotiations with respect to the adjustment of such claim, except that the
Borrower or such Guarantor may not settle, adjust or compromise any such claim without the prior
written consent of the Agent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;
provided, further, that the Borrower or such Guarantor may make proof of loss and
adjust and compromise any claim under casualty insurance policies which is in an amount less than
$2,000,000.00 so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and so long
as the Borrower or such Guarantor shall in good faith diligently pursue such claim. The Borrower
and each Guarantor further authorize the Agent, at the Agent’s option, to (i) apply the balance of
such Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds to the payment of the Obligations whether or not
then due, or (ii) if the Agent shall require the reconstruction or repair of the Mortgaged
Property, to hold the balance of such proceeds as trustee to be used to pay taxes, charges, sewer
use fees, water rates and assessments which may be imposed on the Mortgaged Property and the
Obligations as they become due during the course of reconstruction or repair of the Mortgaged
Property and to reimburse the Borrower or such Guarantor, in accordance with such terms and
conditions as the Agent may prescribe, for the costs of reconstruction or repair of the Mortgaged
Property, and upon completion of such reconstruction or repair to apply any excess to the payment
of the Obligations.
(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained in the Mortgages, the
Agent shall make net Insurance Proceeds and Condemnation Proceeds available to the Borrower or such
Guarantor to reconstruct and repair the Mortgaged Property, in accordance with such terms and
conditions as the Agent may prescribe in the Agent’s discretion
67
for the disbursement of the proceeds, provided that (i) the cost of such
reconstruction or repair is not estimated by the Agent to exceed twenty-five percent (25%) of the
replacement cost of the damaged Building (as reasonably estimated by the Agent), (ii) no Default or
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, (iii) the Borrower or such Guarantor shall
have provided to the Agent additional cash security in an amount equal to the amount reasonably
estimated by the Agent to be the amount in excess of such proceeds which will be required to
complete such repair or restoration, (iv) the Agent shall have approved the plans and
specifications, construction budget, construction contracts, and construction schedule for such
repair or restoration and reasonably determined that the repaired or restored Mortgaged Property
will provide the Agent with adequate security for the Obligations (provided that the Agent
shall not disapprove such plans and specifications if the Building is to be restored to
substantially its condition immediately prior to such damage), (v) the Borrower or such Guarantor
shall have delivered to the Agent written agreements binding upon the Major Tenants and not less
than seventy-five percent (75%) of the remaining tenants or other parties having present or future
rights to possession of any portion of the affected Mortgaged Property or having any right to
require repair, restoration or completion of the Mortgaged Property or any portion thereof
(determined by reference to those tenants in the aggregate occupying or having rights to occupy not
less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the Net Rentable Area of the Building so damaged, excluding
the portion leased by the Major Tenants), agreeing upon a date for delivery of possession of the
Mortgaged Property or their respective portions thereof, to permit time which is sufficient in the
judgment of the Agent for such repair or restoration and approving the plans and specifications for
such repair or restoration, or other evidence satisfactory to the Agent that none of such tenants
or other parties may terminate their Leases as a result of such casualty or as a result of having a
right to approve the plans and specifications for such repair or restoration, (vi) the Agent shall
reasonably determine that such repair or reconstruction can be completed prior to the Maturity
Date, (vii) the Agent shall receive evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that any such
restoration, repair or rebuilding complies in all respects with any and all applicable state,
federal and local laws, ordinances and regulations, including without limitation, zoning laws,
ordinances and regulations, and that all required permits, licenses and approvals relative thereto
have been or will be issued in a manner so as not to materially impede the progress of restoration,
(viii) the Agent shall receive evidence reasonably satisfactory to it that the insurer under such
policies of fire or other casualty insurance does not assert any defense to payment under such
policies against the Borrower, any Guarantor or the Agent, and (ix) with respect to any Taking,
Agent shall determine that following such repair or restoration there shall be no more than the
lesser of (i) a twenty-five percent (25%) reduction in occupancy or rental income from the
Mortgaged Property so affected by such specific condemnation or taking (excluding any proceeds from
rental loss insurance or proceeds from such award allocable to rent) or (ii) a fifteen percent
(15%) reduction in occupancy or in rental income from all of the Mortgaged Properties (excluding
any proceeds from rental loss insurance or proceeds of such award allocable to rent), after giving
effect to the current condemnation or taking and any previous condemnations or takings which may
have occurred. Any excess Insurance Proceeds shall be paid to the Borrower, or if an Event of
Default
has occurred and is continuing, such proceeds shall be applied to the payment of the
Obligations, unless in either case by the terms of the applicable insurance policy the excess
proceeds are required to be returned to such insurer. Any excess Condemnation Proceeds shall be
applied to the payment of the Obligations. In no event shall the provisions of this section be
construed to extend the Maturity Date or to limit in any
68
way any right or remedy of the Agent upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder. If
the Mortgaged Property is sold or the Mortgaged Property is acquired by the Agent, all right, title
and interest of the Borrower and any Guarantor in and to any insurance policies and unearned
premiums thereon and in and to the proceeds thereof resulting from loss or damage to the Mortgaged
Property prior to the sale or acquisition shall pass to the Agent or any other successor in
interest to the Borrower or purchaser of the Mortgaged Property.
(h) The Borrower, RPB and their respective Subsidiaries (as applicable) will, at their
expense, procure and maintain insurance covering the Borrower, RPB and their respective
Subsidiaries (as applicable) and the Real Estate other than the Mortgaged Property in such amounts
and against such risks and casualties as are customary for properties of similar character and
location, due regard being given to the type of improvements thereon, their construction, location,
use and occupancy.
§7.8 Taxes; Liens. The Borrower and the Guarantors will, and will cause their
respective Subsidiaries to, duly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, before the
same shall become delinquent, all taxes, assessments and other governmental charges imposed upon
them or upon the Mortgaged Properties or the other Real Estate, sales and activities, or any part
thereof, or upon the income or profits therefrom as well as all claims for labor, materials or
supplies that if unpaid might by law become a lien or charge upon any of its property or other
Liens affecting any of the Collateral or other property of Borrower, the Guarantors or their
respective Subsidiaries, provided that any such tax, assessment, charge or levy or claim
need not be paid if the validity or amount thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings which shall suspend the collection thereof with respect to such property,
neither such property nor any portion thereof or interest therein would be in any danger of sale,
forfeiture or loss by reason of such proceeding and the Borrower, any such Guarantor or any such
Subsidiary shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves in accordance with GAAP; and
provided, further, that forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose
any lien that may have attached as security therefor, the Borrower, any such Guarantor or any such
Subsidiary either (i) will provide a bond issued by a surety reasonably acceptable to the Agent and
sufficient to stay all such proceedings or (ii) if no such bond is provided, will pay each such
tax, assessment, charge or levy.
§7.9 Inspection of Properties and Books. The Borrower and the Guarantors will, and
will cause their respective Subsidiaries to, permit the Agent and the Lenders, at the Borrower’s
expense and upon reasonable prior notice, to visit and inspect any of the properties of the
Borrower, each Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries, to examine the books of account
of the Borrower, each Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries (and to make copies thereof and
extracts therefrom) and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrower, any
Guarantor and their respective Subsidiaries with, and to be advised as to the same by, their
respective officers, all at such reasonable times and intervals as the Agent or any Lender may
reasonably request, provided that so long as no Default or Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Borrower shall not be required to pay for such visits and
inspections more often than once in any twelve (12) month period. The Lenders shall use good faith
efforts to coordinate such visits and inspections so as to minimize the interference with and
disruption to the normal business operations of the Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective
Subsidiaries.
69
§7.10 Compliance with Laws, Contracts, Licenses, and Permits. The Borrower and the
Guarantors will, and will cause each of their respective Subsidiaries to, comply in all respects
with (i) all applicable laws and regulations now or hereafter in effect wherever its business is
conducted, including all Environmental Laws, (ii) the provisions of its corporate charter,
partnership agreement, limited liability company agreement or declaration of trust, as the case may
be, and other charter documents and bylaws, (iii) all agreements and instruments to which it is a
party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound, (iv) all applicable decrees, orders,
and judgments, and (v) all licenses and permits required by applicable laws and regulations for the
conduct of its business or the ownership, use or operation of its properties, except where a
failure to so comply with any of clauses (i) through (v) could not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect. If any authorization, consent, approval, permit or license from any
officer, agency or instrumentality of any government shall become necessary or required in order
that the Borrower, any Guarantor or their respective Subsidiaries may fulfill any of its
obligations hereunder, the Borrower, such Guarantor or such Subsidiary will immediately take or
cause to be taken all steps necessary to obtain such authorization, consent, approval, permit or
license and furnish the Agent and the Lenders with evidence thereof. Borrower shall develop and
implement such programs, policies and procedures as are necessary to comply with the Patriot Act
and shall promptly advise Agent in writing in the event that Borrower shall determine that any
investors in Borrower are in violation of such act.
§7.11 Further Assurances. The Borrower and each Guarantor will and will cause each of
their respective Subsidiaries to, cooperate with the Agent and the Lenders and execute such further
instruments and documents as the Lenders or the Agent shall reasonably request to carry out to
their satisfaction the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
§7.12 Management. The Borrower shall not and shall not permit any Guarantor to enter
into any management agreement with a third party manager after the date hereof for any Mortgaged
Property without the prior written consent of the Agent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld).
Agent may condition any approval of a new manager upon the execution and delivery to Agent of
collateral assignment of such management agreement to Agent and a subordination of the manager’s
rights thereunder to the rights of the Agent and the Lenders under the Loan Documents.
§7.13 Leases of the Property. The Borrower and each Guarantor will give notice to the
Agent of any proposed new Lease at any Mortgaged Property for the lease of space therein of more
than 10,000 square feet and shall provide to the Agent a copy of the proposed Lease and any and all
agreements or documents related thereto, current financial information for the proposed tenant and
any guarantor of the proposed Lease and such other information as the Agent may reasonably request.
Unless the Borrowing Base is comprised of at least two (2) Mortgaged Properties having an
aggregate Appraised Value of at least $200,000,000.00, neither the Borrower nor any Guarantor will
lease all or any portion of a Mortgaged Property or amend, supplement or otherwise modify,
terminate or cancel, or accept the surrender of, or consent to the assignment or subletting of, or
grant any concessions to or waive the performance of any obligations of any tenant, lessee or
licensee under, any now existing or future Lease at any Mortgaged Property without the prior
written consent of the Agent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed;
provided, however, with respect to (a) any Lease which covers
70
less than 10,000 square feet of a Mortgaged Property, the Borrower or any Guarantor may enter
into any such Lease, or amend, supplement or otherwise modify, terminate or cancel, or accept the
surrender of, or consent to the assignment or subletting of, or granting concessions to or waive
the performance of any obligations of any tenant, lessee or licensee under, any such Lease, in each
case consistent with sound leasing and management practices for similar properties, or (b) any
Lease which covers 10,000 square feet or more of a Mortgaged Property, the Borrower or any
Guarantor may enter into an amendment or modification of such Lease in the ordinary course of
business consistent with sound leasing and management practices provided that such amendment or
modification does not decrease any minimum rent, percentage rent or other financial obligation of
the tenant thereunder, release any tenant or guarantor, shorten the term thereof, increase landlord
obligations, or otherwise materially modify such Lease. At any time the Borrowing Base is
comprised of at least two (2) Mortgaged Properties having an aggregate Appraised Value of at least
$200,000,000.00, Borrower or any Guarantor may enter into Leases, or amend, supplement or otherwise
modify, terminate or cancel, or accept the surrender of, or consent to the assignment or subletting
of, or granting concessions to or waive the performance of any obligations of any tenant, lessee or
licensee under, any such Lease consistent with sound leasing and management practices for similar
properties.
§7.14 Business Operations. The Borrower, the Guarantors and their respective
Subsidiaries shall operate their respective businesses in substantially the same manner and in
substantially the same fields and lines of business as such business is now conducted and in
compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Loan Documents. The “business”
of the Borrower (including any or all of its Subsidiaries) shall mean (i) the acquisition,
development, redevelopment, construction, renovation, improvement, marketing, leasing, financing,
sale or other disposition of commercial office properties (with ancillary supporting retail), and
(ii) providing development, construction, financing, leasing and/or real estate, marketing or
financial consulting services, for a fee or other consideration, to any Person. Borrower will not,
and will not permit any Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, engage in any line of business other
than as set forth above in this section.
§7.15 Registered Servicemark. Without prior written notice to the Agent, none of the
Mortgaged Properties shall be owned or operated by the Borrower or any Guarantor under any
registered or protected trademark, tradename, servicemark or logo. In the event any of the
Mortgaged Properties shall be owned or operated under any registered or protected tradename,
trademark, servicemark or logo, Borrower or the applicable Guarantor shall enter into an agreement
with Agent, in form and substance satisfactory to Agent, granting to Agent or any successful bidder
at a foreclosure sale of such Mortgaged Property the right and/or license to continue operating
such Mortgaged Property under such tradename, trademark, servicemark or logo for a period of six
(6) months from the date of the acquisition of such Mortgaged Property.
§7.16 Ownership of Real Estate. Without the prior written consent of Agent, all Real
Estate and all interests (whether direct or indirect) of the Borrower or RPB in any real estate
assets now owned or leased or acquired or leased after the date hereof shall be owned or leased
directly by the Borrower or a wholly owned Subsidiary of Borrower; provided,
however that the Borrower shall be permitted to own or lease interests in Real Estate
through non-wholly owned Subsidiaries and Unconsolidated Affiliates.
71
§7.17 Distributions of Income to the Borrower. The Borrower shall cause all of its
Subsidiaries (subject to the terms of any loan documents under which such Subsidiary is the
borrower) to promptly distribute to the Borrower (but not less frequently than once each calendar
quarter, unless otherwise approved by the Agent), whether in the form of dividends, distributions
or otherwise, all profits, proceeds or other income relating to or arising from its Subsidiaries’
use, operation, financing, refinancing, sale or other disposition of their respective assets and
properties after (a) the payment by each Subsidiary of its debt service, operating expenses,
capital improvements and leasing commissions for such quarter and (b) the establishment of
reasonable reserves for the payment of operating expenses not paid on at least a quarterly basis
and capital improvements and tenant improvements to be made to such Subsidiary’s assets and
properties approved by such Subsidiary in the course of its business consistent with its past
practices.
§7.18 Management. The Borrower shall not enter into any Management Agreement with a
third party manager for the Mortgaged Property without the prior written consent of the Agent
(which shall not be unreasonably withheld), and after such approval, no such Management Agreement
shall be modified in any material respect or terminated without Agent’s prior written approval,
such approval not to be unreasonably withheld. Agent may condition any approval of a new manager
upon the execution and delivery to Agent of collateral assignment of such Management Agreement to
Agent and a subordination of the manager’s rights thereunder to the rights of the Agent and the
Lenders under the Loan Documents.
§7.19 Guarantor Restrictions. The Borrower and RPB covenant and agree that RPB will
at all times own not less than fifty-one percent (51%) of the economic, voting and beneficial
interests in the Borrower. Without the prior written consent of Agent, RPB shall not own any
assets other than its interest in the Borrower, cash and Cash Equivalents and the property
described on Schedule 7.19 hereto.
§7.20 Plan Assets. The Borrower will do, or cause to be done, all things necessary to
ensure that none of the Mortgaged Properties will be deemed to be Plan Assets at any time.
§7.21 More Restrictive Agreements. Should the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of
their respective Subsidiaries enter into or modify any agreements or documents pertaining to any
existing or future Indebtedness, Debt Offering or Equity Offering, which agreements or documents
include covenants, whether affirmative or negative (or any other provision which may have the same
practical effect as any of the foregoing), which are individually or in the aggregate more
restrictive against the Borrower, the Guarantors or their respective Subsidiaries than those set
forth in §§8.1(f), 8.7 and §9 of this Agreement, the Borrower shall promptly notify the Agent and,
if requested by the Required Lenders, the Borrower, the Guarantors, the Agent and the Required
Lenders shall promptly amend this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to include some or all of
such more restrictive provisions as determined by the Required Lenders in their sole discretion.
Each of the Borrower and Guarantors agree to deliver to the Agent copies of any agreements or
documents (or modifications thereof) pertaining to existing or future Indebtedness, Debt Offering
or Equity Offering of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries as the
Agent from time to time may request. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this §7.21 shall not apply to
covenants contained in any agreements or documents evidencing or securing Non-Recourse Indebtedness
or covenants in agreements or documents
72
relating to recourse Indebtedness that relate only to specific Real Estate that is collateral
for such Indebtedness or to specific Subsidiaries that own Real Estate that are not Guarantors. In
the event this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents are modified pursuant to this §7.21 and
the agreement or document pertaining to any Indebtedness, Debt Offering or Equity Offering creating
the right to modify this Agreement or any other Loan Document shall terminate or no longer be in
force or effect, this Agreement or such other Loan Documents shall be promptly modified to
eliminate any such more restrictive provision and revert to the provision originally contained
herein or in such other Loan Document.
§7.22 REIT Status. RPB shall at all times maintain REIT Status.
§8. NEGATIVE COVENANTS.

outstanding or any of the Lenders has any obligation to make any Loans or issue any Letter of
Credit:

fact extended in connection with normal purchases of goods and services;
(c) Indebtedness in respect of taxes, assessments, governmental charges or levies and claims
for labor, materials and supplies to the extent that payment therefor shall not at the time be

(d) Indebtedness in respect of judgments only to the extent, for the period and for an amount
not resulting in a Default;
(e) endorsements for collection, deposit or negotiation and warranties of products or

provided that the aggregate amount of such recourse Indebtedness (excluding the
Obligations) shall not exceed thirty percent (30%) of Gross Asset Value, and (ii) Non-Recourse
Indebtedness, provided that none of such Persons shall incur any of the Indebtedness
described in this §8.1(f) unless it shall have provided to the Agent prior written notice of the
proposed incurrence of such Indebtedness, a statement that the borrowing will not cause a Default
or Event of Default and a Compliance Certificate demonstrating that the Borrower will be in
compliance with its covenants referred to therein after giving effect to the incurrence of such
Indebtedness.
73
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) none of the Indebtedness
described in §8.1(f) above shall have any of the Mortgaged Properties or any interest therein or
any direct or indirect ownership interest in any Subsidiary Guarantor as collateral, a borrowing
base, asset pool or any similar form of credit support for such Indebtedness (provided that the
foregoing shall not preclude recourse to the general credit of Borrower or RPB) and (ii) none of
the Subsidiary Guarantors shall create, incur, assume, guarantee or be or remain liable,
contingently or otherwise, with respect to any Indebtedness (including, without limitation,
pursuant to any conditional or limited guaranty or indemnity agreement creating liability with
respect to usual and customary exclusions from the non-recourse limitations governing the
Non-Recourse Indebtedness of any Person, or otherwise) other than Indebtedness described in
§§8.1(a)-(e) above.

such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
§8.6 Compliance with Environmental Laws. Neither the Borrower nor RPB will, nor will
either of them permit any of its respective Subsidiaries or any other Person to, do any of the

tank or other underground storage receptacle for Hazardous Substances except in full compliance
with Environmental Laws, (c) generate any Hazardous Substances on any of the Real Estate except in
full compliance with Environmental Laws, (d) conduct any activity at any Real Estate or use any
Real Estate in any manner that could reasonably be contemplated to cause a Release of Hazardous
Substances on, upon or into the Real Estate or any surrounding properties or any threatened Release
of Hazardous Substances which might give rise to liability under CERCLA or any other Environmental
Law, or (e) directly or indirectly transport or arrange for the transport of any Hazardous
Substances (except in compliance with all Environmental Laws).
The Borrower shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to:
(i) in the event of any change in Environmental Laws governing the assessment, release or
removal of Hazardous Substances, take all reasonable action (including, without limitation, the
conducting of engineering tests at the sole expense of the Borrower) to confirm that no Hazardous
Substances are or ever were Released or disposed of on the Mortgaged Properties in violation of
applicable Environmental Laws; and
(ii) if any Release or disposal of Hazardous Substances which any Person may be legally
obligated to contain, correct or otherwise remediate or which may otherwise expose it to liability
shall occur or shall have occurred on the Real Estate (including without limitation any such
Release or disposal occurring prior to the acquisition or leasing of such Real Estate by the

prompt containment and removal of such Hazardous Substances and remediation of the Real Estate in
full compliance with all applicable Environmental Laws; provided, that each of the Borrower
and its Subsidiaries shall be deemed to be in compliance with Environmental Laws for the purpose of
this clause (ii) so long as it or a responsible third party with sufficient financial resources is
taking reasonable action to remediate or manage any event of noncompliance to the satisfaction of
the Agent and no action shall have been commenced by any enforcement agency. The Agent may engage
its own Environmental Engineer to review the environmental assessments and the compliance with the
covenants contained herein.
At any time after an Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder the Agent may at its
election (and will at the request of the Required Lenders) obtain such environmental assessments
76
of any or all of the Mortgaged Properties prepared by an Environmental Engineer as may be
necessary or advisable for the purpose of evaluating or confirming (i) whether any Hazardous
Substances are present in the soil or water at or adjacent to any such Mortgaged Property and (ii)
whether the use and operation of any such Mortgaged Property complies with all Environmental Laws
to the extent required by the Loan Documents. Additionally, at any time that the Agent or the
Required Lenders shall have reasonable grounds to believe that a Release or threatened Release of
Hazardous Substances which any Person may be legally obligated to contain, correct or otherwise
remediate or which otherwise may expose such Person to liability may have occurred, relating to any
Mortgaged Property, or that any of the Mortgaged Property is not in compliance with Environmental
Laws to the extent required by the Loan Documents, Borrower shall promptly upon the request of
Agent obtain and deliver to Agent such environmental assessments of such Mortgaged Property
prepared by an Environmental Engineer as may be necessary or advisable for the purpose of
evaluating or confirming (i) whether any Hazardous Substances are present in the soil or water at
or adjacent to such Mortgaged Property and (ii) whether the use and operation of such Mortgaged
Property comply with all Environmental Laws to the extent required by the Loan Documents.
Environmental assessments may include detailed visual inspections of such Mortgaged Property
including, without limitation, any and all storage areas, storage tanks, drains, dry xxxxx and
leaching areas, and the taking of soil samples, as well as such other investigations or analyses as
are reasonably necessary or appropriate for a complete determination of the compliance of such

(i) for the calendar quarters ending June 30, 2007 and September 30, 2007, when added to the amount
of all other Distributions paid in the same calendar quarter and the preceding calendar quarter,
would exceed one hundred percent (100%) of such Person’s Funds from Operations for such calendar

calendar quarters, and (iii) for the calendar quarter ending June 30, 2008 and thereafter, when
added to the amount of all other Distributions paid in the same calendar quarter and the preceding
three (3) calendar quarters, would exceed ninety-five percent (95%) of such Person’s Funds from
Operations for such calendar quarters; provided that the limitations contained in this
§8.7(a) shall not preclude the Borrower from making Distributions to RPB in an amount equal to the
minimum distributions required under the Code to maintain the REIT Status of RPB, as evidenced by a
certification of the principal financial or accounting officer of the RPB containing calculations
in detail reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Agent.
(b) In the event that a Default under §12.1(a) or (b) or an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, (i) the Borrower shall make no Distributions other than Distributions
to RPB in an amount equal to the minimum distributions required under the Code
77
to maintain the REIT Status of RPB and (ii) RPB shall make no Distributions other than
Distributions in an amount equal to the minimum distributions under the Code to maintain the REIT

substance to the Agent.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time when an Event of Default under §12.1(a), (b),
(h), (i) or (j) shall have occurred or the maturity of the Obligations has been accelerated,
neither Borrower nor RPB shall make any Distributions whatsoever, directly or indirectly.

transfer or otherwise dispose of any Real Estate during any four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters in
excess of an amount equal to twenty percent (20%) of Gross Asset Value, except as the result of a
condemnation or casualty and except for the granting of Permitted Liens, as applicable (a sale by
itself of the Real Estate at 0000 Xxx Xxxx Xxxxxx shall not be deemed to violate this 20%
restriction), unless there shall have been delivered to the Agent a statement that no Default or
Event of Default exists or will exist and a certification that the Borrower will be in compliance
with its covenants referred to therein after giving effect to such sale, transfer or other
disposition.

otherwise retire the principal amount, in whole or in part, of any Indebtedness other than the
Obligations after the occurrence of any Event of Default; provided, that the foregoing
shall not prohibit (x) the prepayment of Indebtedness which is financed solely from the proceeds of
a new loan which would otherwise be permitted by the terms of §8.1; and (y) the prepayment,
redemption, defeasance or other retirement of the principal of Indebtedness secured by Real Estate
which is satisfied solely from the proceeds of a sale of the Real Estate securing such
Indebtedness; and (b) modify any document evidencing any Indebtedness (other than the Obligations)
to accelerate the maturity date of such Indebtedness after the occurrence of an Event of Default.
§8.11 Zoning and Contract Changes and Compliance. Neither the Borrower nor any
Guarantor shall initiate or consent to any zoning reclassification of any of its Mortgaged Property
or seek any variance under any existing zoning ordinance or use or permit the use of any Mortgaged
Property in any manner that could result in such use becoming a non-conforming use under any zoning
ordinance or any other applicable land use law, rule or regulation. Neither the Borrower nor any

(ii) transactions set forth on Schedule 6.15 attached hereto and (iii) transactions
pursuant to the reasonable requirements of the business of such Person and upon fair and reasonable

84
arrangement, insolvency, readjustment of debt, dissolution or liquidation or similar law of

thereof, consent thereto or acquiescence therein or such petition, application, case or proceeding
shall not have been dismissed within sixty (60) days following the filing or commencement thereof;
(j) a decree or order is entered appointing a trustee, custodian, liquidator or receiver for
any of the Borrower, the Guarantors, or any of their respective Subsidiaries or adjudicating any

exceed $10,000,000.00 per occurrence or during any twelve (12) month period or (ii) any Subsidiary
of the Borrower (other than a Subsidiary Guarantor) that, either individually or in the aggregate,
exceed $20,000,000.00 per occurrence or during any twelve (12) month period;

Loan Documents;
(n) with respect to any Guaranteed Pension Plan, an ERISA Reportable Event shall have occurred
and the Required Lenders shall have determined in their reasonable discretion that such event
reasonably could be expected to result in liability of any of the Borrower, the Guarantors or any
of their respective Subsidiaries to the PBGC or such Guaranteed Pension Plan in an aggregate amount
exceeding $5,000,000.00 and such event in the circumstances occurring reasonably could constitute
grounds for the termination of such Guaranteed Pension Plan by the PBGC or for the appointment by
the appropriate United States District Court of a trustee to administer such Guaranteed Pension
Plan; or a trustee shall have been appointed by the United States District Court to administer such
Plan; or the PBGC shall have instituted proceedings to terminate such Guaranteed Pension Plan;
85
(o) the Borrower, any Guarantor or any of their respective Subsidiaries or any Person so

Document;
(q) any Change of Control shall occur;
(r) an Event of Default under any of the other Loan Documents shall occur; or
(s) the Borrower shall fail to comply with the covenants set forth in §8.6 hereof;
provided, however, no Event of Default shall occur hereunder as a result of such
failure if such failure relates solely to a parcel or parcels of Real Estate that is/are not a
Mortgaged Property and whose book value, either individually or in the aggregate, does not exceed
$10,000,000.00;
then, and in any such event, the Agent may, and upon the request of the Required Lenders shall, by
notice in writing to the Borrower declare all amounts owing with respect to this Agreement, the
Notes, the Letters of Credit and the other Loan Documents to be, and they shall thereupon forthwith
become, immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any
kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower; provided that in the event
of any Event of Default specified in §12.1(h), §12.1(i) or §12.1(j), all such amounts shall become
immediately due and payable automatically and without any requirement of presentment, demand,
protest or other notice of any kind from any of the Lenders or the Agent. Upon demand by Agent or
the Required Lenders in their absolute and sole discretion after the occurrence of an Event of
Default, and regardless of whether the conditions precedent in this Agreement for a Revolving
Credit Loan have been satisfied, the Revolving Credit Lenders will cause a Revolving Credit Loan to
be made in the undrawn amount of all Letters of Credit. The proceeds of any such Revolving Credit
Loan will be pledged to and held by Agent as security for any amounts that become payable under the
Letters of Credit and all other Obligations. In the alternative, if demanded by Agent in its
absolute and sole discretion after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower will deposit
with and pledge to Agent cash in an amount equal to the amount of all undrawn Letters of Credit.
Such amounts will be pledged to and held by Agent for the benefit of the Lenders as security for
any amounts that become payable under the Letters of Credit and all other Obligations. Upon any
draws under Letters of Credit, at Agent’s sole discretion, 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 Lenders have no further obligation to make Revolving Credit Loans or
issue Letters of Credit or if such excess no longer exists, such proceeds deposited by Borrower
will be released to Borrower.
86
§12.2 Certain Cure Periods; Limitation of Cure Periods.
(a) Notwithstanding anything contained in §12.1 to the contrary, (i) no Event of Default shall
exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any failure described in §12.1(b) in the event that the
Borrower cures such Default within five (5) Business Days following receipt of written notice of
such Default, provided, however, that Borrower shall not be entitled to receive
more than two (2) notices in the aggregate pursuant to this clause (i) in any period of 365 days
ending on the date of any such occurrence of Default, and provided further that no
such cure period shall apply to any payments due upon the maturity of the Notes, and (ii) no Event
of Default shall exist hereunder upon the occurrence of any failure described in §12.1(e) in the
event that the Borrower cures such Default within thirty (30) days following receipt of written
notice of such default, or if such Default is of such a nature that it cannot be cured within such
thirty (30) day period but such Default is of a nature that it is capable of being cured, in the
event that Borrower in good faith promptly commences such cure within such thirty (30) day period
and thereafter diligently, continuously and in good faith prosecutes such cure to completion, and
in any event cures such Default within sixty (60) days following receipt of such written notice of
Default, provided that the provisions of this clause (ii) shall not pertain to defaults
consisting of a failure to provide insurance as required by §7.7, to any default consisting of a
failure to comply with §7.4(c), §7.14, §7.19, §7.22, §8.1, §8.3, §8.4, §8.7, §8.8, §8.14 or to any
Default excluded from any provision of cure of defaults contained in any other of the Loan
Documents.
(b) In the event that there shall occur any Default that affects only certain Mortgaged
Property or the owner(s) thereof (if such owner is a Guarantor), then the Borrower may elect to
cure such Default (so long as no other Default or Event of Default would arise as a result) by
electing to have Agent remove such Mortgaged Property from the Borrowing Base and by reducing the
outstanding Loans by the amount of the Borrowing Base attributable to such Mortgaged Property, in
which event such removal and reduction shall be completed within five (5) Business Days after
receipt of notice of such Default from the Agent or the Required Lenders.
§12.3 Termination of Commitments. If any one or more Events of Default specified in
§12.1(h), §12.1(i) or §12.1(j) shall occur, then immediately and without any action on the part of
the Agent or any Lender any unused portion of the credit hereunder shall terminate and the Lenders
shall be relieved of all obligations to make Loans or issue Letters of Credit to the Borrower. If
any other Event of Default shall have occurred, the Agent may, and upon the election of the
Required Lenders shall, by notice to the Borrower terminate the obligation to make Loans and issue
Letters of Credit to the Borrower. No termination under this §12.3 shall relieve the Borrower of
its obligations to the Lenders arising under this Agreement or the other Loan Documents.
§12.4 Remedies. In case any one or more Events of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, and whether or not the Lenders shall have accelerated the maturity of the Loans
pursuant to §12.1, the Agent on behalf of the Lenders may, with the consent of the Required Lenders
but not otherwise, proceed to protect and enforce their rights and remedies under this Agreement,
the Notes and/or any of the other Loan Documents by suit in equity, action at law or other
appropriate proceeding, including to the full extent permitted by applicable law the specific
performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement and the other Loan
87
Documents, the obtaining of the ex parte appointment of a receiver, and, if any amount shall
have become due, by declaration or otherwise, the enforcement of the payment thereof. No remedy
herein conferred upon the Agent or the holder of any Note is intended to be exclusive of any other
remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy
given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or any other
provision of law. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement providing that the Loans may be
evidenced by multiple Notes in favor of the Lenders, the Lenders acknowledge and agree that only
the Agent may exercise any remedies arising by reason of a Default or Event of Default. If
Borrower or any Guarantor fails to perform any agreement or covenant contained in this Agreement or
any of the other Loan Documents beyond any applicable period for notice and cure, Agent may itself
perform, or cause to be performed, any agreement or covenant of such Person contained in this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents which such Person shall fail to perform, and the
out-of-pocket costs of such performance, together with any reasonable expenses, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred (including attorneys’ fees incurred in any appeal) by
Agent in connection therewith, shall be payable by Borrower upon demand and shall constitute a part
of the Obligations and shall if not paid within five (5) Business Days after demand bear interest
at the rate for overdue amounts as set forth in this Agreement. In the event that all or any
portion of the Obligations is collected by or through an attorney-at-law, the Borrower shall pay
all costs of collection including, but not limited to, reasonable attorney’s fees.
§12.5 Distribution of Collateral Proceeds. In the event that, following the
occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, any monies are received in
connection with the enforcement of any of the Loan Documents, or otherwise with respect to the
realization upon any of the Collateral or other assets of Borrower or the Guarantors, such monies
shall be distributed for application as follows:
(a) First, to the payment of, or (as the case may be) the reimbursement of the Agent for or in
respect of, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs, expenses, disbursements and losses which shall have
been paid, incurred or sustained by the Agent to protect or preserve the Collateral or in
connection with the collection of such monies by the Agent, for the exercise, protection or
enforcement by the Agent of all or any of the rights, remedies, powers and privileges of the Agent
or the Lenders under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents or in respect of the
Collateral or in support of any provision of adequate indemnity to the Agent against any taxes or
liens which by law shall have, or may have, priority over the rights of the Agent or the Lenders to
such monies;
(b) Second, to all other Obligations (including any interest, expenses or other obligations
incurred after the commencement of a bankruptcy) in such order or preference as the Required
Lenders shall determine; provided, that (i) Swing Loans shall be repaid first, (ii)
distributions in respect of such other Obligations shall include, on a pari passu basis, the
Agent’s fee payable pursuant to §4.3; (iii) in the event that any Lender shall have wrongfully
failed or refused to make an advance under §2.4(d), §2.6 or §2.9(f) and such failure or refusal
shall be continuing, advances made by other Lenders during the pendency of such failure or refusal
shall be entitled to be repaid as to principal and accrued interest in priority to the other
Obligations described in this subsection (b), and (iv) except as otherwise provided in clause
(iii), Obligations owing to the Lenders with respect to each type of Obligation such as interest,
88
principal, fees and expenses (but excluding the Swing Loans) shall be made among the Lenders
pro rata; and provided, further that the Required Lenders may in their discretion
make proper allowance to take into account any Obligations not then due and payable; and
(c) Third, the excess, if any, shall be returned to the Borrower or to such other Persons as
are entitled thereto.
§13. SETOFF.
Regardless of the adequacy of any Collateral, during the continuance of any Event of Default,
any deposits (general or specific, time or demand, provisional or final, regardless of currency,
maturity, or the branch where such deposits are held) or other sums credited by or due from any
Lender to the Borrower or the Guarantors and any securities or other property of the Borrower or
the Guarantors in the possession of such Lender may, without notice to Borrower or any Guarantor
(any such notice being expressly waived by Borrower, RPB and each of the other Guarantors) but with
the prior written approval of Agent, be applied to or set off against the payment of Obligations
and any and all other liabilities, direct, or indirect, absolute or contingent, due or to become
due, now existing or hereafter arising, of the Borrower or the Guarantors to such Lender (provided
that the foregoing right of setoff may be waived by an individual Lender by separate written
agreement with Borrower or a Guarantor). Each of the Lenders agrees with each other Lender that if
such Lender shall receive from the Borrower or the Guarantors, whether by voluntary payment,
exercise of the right of setoff, or otherwise, and shall retain and apply to the payment of the
Note or Notes held by such Lender (but excluding the Swing Loan Note) any amount in excess of its
ratable portion of the payments received by all of the Lenders with respect to the Notes held by
all of the Lenders, such Lender will make such disposition and arrangements with the other Lenders
with respect to such excess, either by way of distribution, pro tanto assignment of
claims, subrogation or otherwise as shall result in each Lender receiving in respect of the Notes
held by it its proportionate payment as contemplated by this Agreement; provided that if
all or any part of such excess payment is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such disposition
and arrangements shall be rescinded and the amount restored to the extent of such recovery, but
without interest.
§14. THE AGENT.
§14.1 Authorization. Subject to §27, the Agent is authorized to take such action on
behalf of each of the Lenders and to exercise all such powers as are hereunder and under any of the
other Loan Documents and any related documents delegated to the Agent, together with such powers as
are reasonably incident thereto, provided that no duties or responsibilities not expressly assumed
herein or therein shall be implied to have been assumed by the Agent. The obligations of the Agent
hereunder are primarily administrative in nature, and nothing contained in this Agreement or any of
the other Loan Documents shall be construed to constitute the Agent as a trustee for any Lender or
to create an agency or fiduciary relationship. Agent shall act as the contractual representative
of the Lenders hereunder, and notwithstanding the use of the term “Agent”, it is understood and
agreed that Agent shall not have any fiduciary duties or responsibilities to any Lender by reason
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document and is acting as an independent contractor, the duties
and responsibilities of which are limited to those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents. The Borrower and any
89
other Person shall be entitled to conclusively rely on a statement from the Agent that it has
the authority to act for and bind the Lenders pursuant to this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents.
§14.2 Employees and Agents. The 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 Agent may utilize the services of such Persons as the Agent may reasonably
determine, and all reasonable fees and expenses of any such Persons shall be paid by the Borrower.
§14.3 No Liability. Neither the 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 for (a) 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 Agent or such other Person, as the case
may be, shall be liable for losses due to its willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally
determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal
periods or (b) any action taken or not taken by Agent with the consent or at the request of the
Required Lenders. The Agent shall not be deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of
any Default or Event of Default, except with respect to defaults in the payment of principal,
interest and fees required to be paid to the Agent for the account of the Lenders, unless the Agent
has received notice from a Lender or the Borrower referring to the Loan Documents and describing
with reasonable specificity such Default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a
“notice of default”.
§14.4 No Representations. The Agent shall not be responsible for the execution or
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 any agreement, instrument or certificate
delivered in connection therewith 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, the Guarantors 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 of the other
Loan Documents. The Agent shall not be bound to ascertain whether any notice, consent, waiver or
request delivered to it by the Borrower, the Guarantors or any holder of any of the Notes shall
have been duly authorized or is true, accurate and complete. The 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, the
Guarantors, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, or the value of the Collateral or any other
assets of the Borrower or the Guarantors or any of their respective Subsidiaries. Each Lender
acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the 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
90
that it will, independently and without reliance upon the 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. Agent’s Special Counsel has only represented Agent and KeyBank in connection with
the Loan Documents and the only attorney client relationship or duty of care is between Agent’s
Special Counsel and Agent or KeyBank. Each Lender has been independently represented by separate
counsel on all matters regarding the Loan Documents and the granting and perfecting of liens in the
Collateral.
§14.5 Payments.
(a) A payment by the Borrower or any Guarantor to the Agent hereunder or under any of the
other Loan Documents for the account of any Lender shall constitute a payment to such Lender. The
Agent agrees to distribute to each Lender not later than one Business Day after the Agent’s receipt
of good funds, determined in accordance with the Agent’s customary practices, such Lender’s pro
rata share of payments received by the Agent for the account of the Lenders except as otherwise
expressly provided herein or in any of the other Loan Documents. In the event that the Agent fails
to distribute such amounts within one Business Day as provided above, the Agent shall pay interest
on such amount at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Effective Rate from time to time in
effect.
(b) If in the opinion of the 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 such distribution until its right to make such 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 Agent is to be repaid,
each Person to whom any such distribution shall have been made shall either repay to the 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.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents, any Lender that fails (i) to make available to the Agent its pro rata share of any
Loan or participation in a Letter of Credit or Swing Loan, (ii) to comply with the provisions of
§13 with respect to making dispositions and arrangements with the other Lenders, where such
Lender’s share of any payment received, whether by setoff or otherwise, is in excess of its pro
rata share of such payments due and payable to all of the Lenders, in each case as, when and to the
full extent required by the provisions of this Agreement, or (iii) to perform any other obligation
within the time period specified for performance, or if no time period is specified, if such
failure continues for a period of five (5) Business Days after notice from the Agent shall be
deemed delinquent (a “Delinquent Lender”) and shall be deemed a Delinquent Lender until such time
as such delinquency is satisfied. In addition to the rights and remedies that may be available to
the Agent at law and in equity, a Delinquent 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 the Agent pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise, or to be taken into account in the
calculation of Majority Lenders, Required Lenders or any matter requiring approval of all of the
Lenders, shall be suspended while such Lender is a Delinquent Lender. A Delinquent Lender shall be
deemed to have assigned any and all
91
payments due to it from the Borrower or the Guarantors, whether on account of outstanding
Loans, interest, fees or otherwise, to the remaining nondelinquent Lenders for application to, and
reduction of, their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans. The Delinquent Lender
hereby authorizes the Agent to distribute such payments to the nondelinquent Lenders in proportion
to their respective pro rata shares of all outstanding Loans. The provisions of this Section shall
apply and be effective regardless of whether an Event of Default occurs and is then continuing, and
notwithstanding (i) any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary or (ii) any instruction
of Borrower as to its desired application of payments. The Agent shall be entitled to (i) withhold
or set off, and to apply to the payment of the obligations of any Delinquent Lender any amounts to
be paid to such Delinquent Lender under this Agreement, (ii) to collect interest from such Lender
for the period from the date on which the payment was due at the rate per annum equal to the
Federal Funds Effective Rate plus one percent (1%), for each day during such period, and (iii)
bring an action or suit against such Delinquent Lender in a court of competent jurisdiction to
recover the defaulted obligations of such Delinquent Lender. A Delinquent Lender shall be deemed
to have satisfied in full a delinquency when and if, as a result of application of the assigned
payments to all outstanding Loans of the nondelinquent Lenders or as a result of other payments by
the Delinquent Lenders to the nondelinquent Lenders, the Lenders’ respective pro rata shares of all
outstanding Loans have returned to those in effect immediately prior to such delinquency and
without giving effect to the nonpayment causing such delinquency.
§14.6 Holders of Notes. Subject to the terms of §18, the Agent may deem and treat the
payee of any Note as the absolute owner or purchaser thereof for all purposes hereof until it shall
have been furnished in writing with a different name by such payee or by a subsequent holder,
assignee or transferee.
§14.7 Indemnity. The Lenders ratably agree hereby to indemnify and hold harmless the
Agent from and against any and all claims, actions and suits (whether groundless or otherwise),
losses, damages, costs, expenses (including any expenses for which the Agent has not been
reimbursed by the Borrower as required by §15), and liabilities of every nature and character
arising out of or related to this Agreement, the Notes, or any of the other Loan Documents or the
transactions contemplated or evidenced hereby or thereby, or the Agent’s actions taken hereunder or
thereunder, except to the extent that any of the same shall be directly caused by the Agent’s
willful misconduct or gross negligence as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods. The agreements in this §14.7 shall survive
the payment of all amounts payable under the Loan Documents.
§14.8 Agent as Lender. In its individual capacity, KeyBank shall have the same
obligations and the same rights, powers and privileges in respect to its Commitment and the Loans
made by it, and as the holder of any of the Notes as it would have were it not also the Agent.
§14.9 Resignation. The Agent may resign at any time by giving thirty (30) calendar
days’ prior written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower. The Required Lenders
(calculated without including the Commitment of the Lender acting as Agent) may remove the Agent
from its capacity as Agent in the event of the Agent’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Any
such resignation or removal may at Agent’s option also constitute Agent’s
92
resignation as Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender. Upon any such resignation or removal,
the Required Lenders, subject to the terms of §18.1, shall have the right to appoint as a successor
Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, any Lender or any bank whose senior
debt obligations are rated not less than “A” or its equivalent by Xxxxx’x or not less than “A” or
its equivalent by S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000.00. Unless a Default
or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such successor Agent and, if applicable,
Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, shall be reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. If no
successor Agent shall have been appointed and shall have accepted such appointment within thirty
(30) days after the retiring Agent’s giving of notice of resignation or the Required Lenders’
removal of the Agent, then the retiring or removed Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a
successor Agent, which shall be any Lender or any financial institution whose senior debt
obligations are rated not less than “A2” or its equivalent by Xxxxx’x or not less than “A” or its
equivalent by S&P and which has a net worth of not less than $500,000,000.00. Upon the acceptance
of any appointment as Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, hereunder by
a successor Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, such successor Agent
and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, shall thereupon succeed to and become
vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring or removed Agent and, if
applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, and the retiring or removed Agent and, if
applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender, shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder as Agent and, if applicable, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender. After any
retiring or removed Agent’s resignation, the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect of any actions taken or omitted to be
taken by it while it was acting as Agent, Issuing Lender and Swing Loan Lender. If the resigning
or removed Agent shall also resign as the Issuing Lender, such successor Agent shall issue letters
of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such
succession or shall make other arrangements satisfactory to the current Issuing Lender, in either
case, to assume effectively the obligations of the current Agent with respect to such Letters of
Credit. Upon any change in the Agent under this Agreement, the resigning or removed Agent shall
execute such assignments of and amendments to the Loan Documents as may be necessary to substitute
the successor Agent for the resigning Agent.
§14.10 Duties in the Case of Enforcement. In case one or more Events of Default have
occurred and shall be continuing, and whether or not acceleration of the Obligations shall have
occurred, the Agent may and, if (a) so requested by the Required Lenders and (b) the Lenders have
provided to the Agent such additional indemnities and assurances in accordance with their
respective Commitment Percentages against expenses and liabilities as the Agent may reasonably
request, shall proceed to exercise all or any legal and equitable and other rights or remedies as
it may have; provided, however, that unless and until the Agent shall have received such
directions, the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from taking
such action, with respect to such Default or Event of Default as it shall deem to be in the best
interests of the Lenders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Agent reasonably
determines payment is in the best interest of all the Lenders, Agent may without the approval of
the Lenders pay taxes and insurance premiums and spend money for maintenance, repairs or other
expenses which may be necessary to be incurred, and Agent shall promptly thereafter notify the
Lenders of such action. Each Lender shall, within thirty (30) days of request therefor, pay to the
Agent its Commitment Percentage of the reasonable costs incurred by the
93
Agent in taking any such actions hereunder to the extent that such costs shall not be promptly
reimbursed to the Agent by the Borrower or the Guarantors or out of the Collateral within such
period with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. The Required Lenders may direct the Agent in
writing as to the method and the extent of any such exercise, the Lenders hereby agreeing to
indemnify and hold the Agent harmless in accordance with their respective Commitment Percentages
from all liabilities incurred in respect of all actions taken or omitted in accordance with such
directions, provided that the Agent need not comply with any such direction to the extent
that the Agent reasonably believes the Agent’s compliance with such direction to be unlawful in any
applicable jurisdiction or commercially unreasonable under the UCC as enacted in any applicable
jurisdiction.
§14.11 Bankruptcy. In the event a bankruptcy or other insolvency proceeding is
commenced by or against Borrower or any Guarantor with respect to the Obligations, the Agent shall
have the sole and exclusive right to file and pursue a joint proof claim on behalf of all Lenders.
Any votes with respect to such claims or otherwise with respect to such proceedings shall be
subject to the vote of the Required Lenders or all of the Lenders as required by this Agreement.
Each Lender irrevocably waives its right to file or pursue a separate proof of claim in any such
proceedings unless Agent fails to file such claim within thirty (30) days after receipt of written
notice from the Lenders requesting that Agent file such proof of claim.
§14.12 Request for Agent Action. Agent and the Lenders acknowledge that in the
ordinary course of business of the Borrower, (a) Borrower and Guarantors will enter into leases or
rental agreements covering Mortgaged Properties that may require the execution of a Subordination,
Attornment and Non-Disturbance Agreement in favor of the tenant thereunder, (b) a Mortgaged
Property may be subject to a Taking, (c) Borrower or a Guarantor may desire to enter into easements
or other agreements affecting the Mortgaged Properties, or take other actions or enter into other
agreements in the ordinary course of business which similarly require the consent, approval or
agreement of the Agent. In connection with the foregoing, the Lenders hereby expressly authorize
the Agent to (w) execute and deliver to the Borrower and the Guarantors Subordination, Attornment
and Non-Disturbance Agreements with any tenant under a Lease upon such terms as Agent in its good
faith judgment determines are appropriate (Agent in the exercise of its good faith judgment may
agree to allow some or all of the casualty, condemnation, restoration or other provisions of the
applicable Lease to control over the applicable provisions of the Loan Documents), (x) execute
releases of liens in connection with any Taking, (y) execute consents or subordinations in form and
substance satisfactory to Agent in connection with any easements or agreements affecting the
Mortgaged Property, or (z) execute consents, approvals, or other agreements in form and substance
satisfactory to the Agent in connection with such other actions or agreements as may be necessary
in the ordinary course of Borrower’s business.
§14.13 Reliance by Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall not
incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate, consent, statement,
instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message, Internet or intranet
website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed, sent
or otherwise authenticated by an Authorized Officer. The Agent also may rely upon any statement
made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been made by the proper Person, and
shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining compliance with any condition
hereunder
94
to the making of a Loan, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender,
the Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender unless the Agent shall
have received notice to the contrary from such Lender prior to the making of such Loan. The Agent
may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower), independent accountants and
other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it in
accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
§14.14 Approvals. If consent is required for some action under this Agreement, or
except as otherwise provided herein an approval of the Lenders, the Majority Lenders or the
Required Lenders is required or permitted under this Agreement, each Lender agrees to give the
Agent, within ten (10) days of receipt of the request for action together with all reasonably
requested information related thereto (or such lesser period of time required by the terms of the
Loan Documents), notice in writing of approval or disapproval (collectively “Directions”) in
respect of any action requested or proposed in writing pursuant to the terms hereof. To the extent
that any Lender does not approve any recommendation of Agent, such Lender shall in such notice to
Agent describe the actions that would be acceptable to such Lender. If consent is required for the
requested action, any Lender’s failure to respond to a request for Directions within the required
time period shall be deemed to constitute a Direction to take such requested action. In the event
that any recommendation is not approved by the requisite number of Lenders and a subsequent
approval on the same subject matter is requested by Agent, then for the purposes of this paragraph
each Lender shall be required to respond to a request for Directions within five (5) Business Days
of receipt of such request. Agent and each Lender shall be entitled to assume that any officer of
the other Lenders delivering any notice, consent, certificate or other writing is authorized to
give such notice, consent, certificate or other writing unless Agent and such other Lenders have
otherwise been notified in writing.
§14.15 Borrower Not Beneficiary. Except for the provisions of §14.9 relating to the
appointment of a successor Agent, the provisions of this §14 are solely for the benefit of the
Agent and the Lenders, may not be enforced by the Borrower or any Guarantor, and except for the
provisions of §14.9, may be modified or waived without the approval or consent of the Borrower and
Xxxxxxxxxx.

the Loan Documents which requires the approval of all of the Lenders, the Majority Lenders or the
Required Lenders to require a lesser number of Lenders to approve such action. The provisions of

of the obligations of the Borrower hereunder. No waiver shall extend to or affect any obligation
not expressly waived or impair any right consequent thereon. No course of
104

any of the Borrower or the Guarantors shall entitle the Borrower or any Guarantor to other or
further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances.
§28. SEVERABILITY.
The provisions of this Agreement are severable, and if any one clause or provision hereof
shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, then such
invalidity or unenforceability shall affect only such clause or provision, or part thereof, in such
jurisdiction, and shall not in any manner affect such clause or provision in any other
jurisdiction, or any other clause or provision of this Agreement in any jurisdiction.
§29. TIME OF THE ESSENCE.
Time is of the essence with respect to each and every covenant, agreement and obligation of
the Borrower and the Guarantors under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
§30. NO UNWRITTEN AGREEMENTS.
THE LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE
CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES.
THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE PARTIES. ANY ADDITIONAL TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE PARTIES ARE SET FORTH BELOW.
§31. REPLACEMENT NOTES.
Upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Borrower of the loss, theft, destruction
or mutilation of any Note, and in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction, upon delivery of
an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory to Borrower or, in the case of any such mutilation,
upon surrender and cancellation of the applicable Note, Borrower will execute and deliver, in lieu
thereof, a replacement Note, identical in form and substance to the applicable Note and dated as of
the date of the applicable Note and upon such execution and delivery all references in the Loan
Documents to such Note shall be deemed to refer to such replacement Note.
§32. NO THIRD PARTIES BENEFITED.

and legal benefit of the Borrower, the Lenders, the Agent and their permitted successors and
assigns, and no other Person shall be a direct or indirect legal beneficiary of, or have any direct
or indirect cause of action or claim in connection with, this Agreement or any of the other Loan

standing to require satisfaction of such conditions in accordance with
105
their terms or be entitled to assume that the Agent and the Lenders will refuse to make Loans
or issue Letters of Credit in the absence of strict compliance with any or all thereof and no other
Person shall, under any circumstances, be deemed to be a beneficiary of such conditions, any and
all of which may be freely waived in whole or in part by the Agent and the Lenders at any time if
in their sole discretion they deem it desirable to do so. In particular, the Agent and the Lenders
make no representations and assume no obligations as to third parties concerning the quality of the
construction by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries of any development or the absence therefrom
of defects.
§33. PATRIOT ACT.
Each Lender and the Agent (for itself and not on behalf of any Lender) hereby notifies
Borrower and Guarantors that, pursuant to the requirements of the Patriot Act, it is required to
obtain, verify and record information that identifies Borrower, which information includes names
and addresses and other information that will allow such Lender or the Agent, as applicable, to
identify Borrower in accordance with the Patriot Act.
§34. AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF ORIGINAL LOAN AGREEMENT.
This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the Original Loan Agreement. The loan

FORM OF AMENDED AND RESTATED REVOLVING CREDIT NOTE
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, REPUBLIC PROPERTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a Delaware limited
partnership (“Maker”), hereby promises to pay to
(“Payee”), or
order, in accordance with the terms of that certain Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement,
dated as of May 1, 2006, as from time to time in effect, among Maker,

to time named therein (the “Credit Agreement”), to the extent not sooner paid, on or before the
Maturity Date, the principal sum of

), or such amount as may be
advanced by the Payee under the Credit Agreement as a Revolving Credit Loan with daily interest
from the date thereof, computed as provided in the Credit Agreement, on the principal amount hereof
from time to time unpaid, at a rate per annum on each portion of the principal amount which shall
at all times be equal to the rate of interest applicable to such portion in accordance with the
Credit Agreement, and with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, on overdue installments of interest and late charges at the rates provided in the Credit
Agreement. Interest shall be payable on the dates specified in the Credit Agreement, except that
all accrued interest shall be paid at the stated or accelerated maturity hereof or upon the
prepayment in full hereof. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the meanings set forth in the Credit Agreement.
Payments hereunder shall be made to the Agent for the Payee at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx,
Xxxx 00000-0000, or at such other address as Agent may designate from time to time.
This Note is one of one or more Revolving Credit Notes evidencing borrowings under and is
entitled to the benefits and subject to the provisions of the Credit Agreement. The principal of
this Note may be due and payable in whole or in part prior to the Maturity Date and is subject to

Notwithstanding anything in this Note to the contrary, all agreements between the undersigned
Maker and the Lenders and the 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 of the undersigned Maker and to the payment of interest or, if such excessive
interest exceeds the unpaid balance of principal of
A-1
the Obligations of the undersigned Maker, such excess shall be refunded to the undersigned
Maker. 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 of the undersigned Maker (including the period
of any renewal or extension thereof) so that the interest thereon for such full period shall not
exceed the maximum amount permitted by applicable law. This paragraph shall control all agreements
between the undersigned Maker and the Lenders and the Agent.
In case an Event of Default shall occur, the entire principal amount of this Note may become
or be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in said Credit Agreement.
This Note shall, pursuant to New York General Obligations Law Section 5-1401, be governed by
the laws of the State of New York.
The undersigned Maker and all guarantors and endorsers hereby waive presentment, demand,
notice, protest, notice of intention to accelerate the indebtedness evidenced hereby, notice of

with the delivery, acceptance, performance and enforcement of this Note, except as specifically
otherwise provided in the Credit Agreement, and assent to extensions of time of payment or

Agent, Assignor’s right, title and interest in and to any and all Leases and Rents, it being
intended by Assignor that this Assignment constitute a present assignment and not an agreement to
assign. Assignor agrees to execute and deliver to Agent such additional instruments, in form and
substance satisfactory to Agent, as may hereinafter be requested by Agent to further evidence and
confirm said assignment. Such assignment to Agent shall not be construed to bind Agent to the
performance of any of the covenants, conditions, or provisions contained in any of the Leases or
otherwise to impose any obligation upon Agent. Agent is hereby granted and assigned by Assignor
the right to enter the Property for the purpose of enforcing its interest in the Leases and the
Rents, this Assignment constituting a present and unconditional assignment of the Leases and Rents.
Assignor shall authorize and direct, and does hereby authorize and direct, each and every present
and future tenant under the Leases to pay all Rents directly to Agent upon receipt of written
demand from Agent. It is the intent of Assignor and Agent hereunder that the Rents hereby
absolutely assigned are no longer, during the term of this Assignment, property of Assignor or
property of any estate of Assignor as defined by 11 U.S.C. § 541, and shall not
3
constitute collateral, cash or otherwise, of Assignor. Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Paragraph 1, so long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Assignor shall have the
right to act as lessor under the Leases to the extent not prohibited by the Credit Agreement.
2. License. Although this Assignment constitutes a present assignment of all Rents,
so long as there shall exist no Event of Default under the Instrument or the Credit Agreement,
Assignor shall have a license (revocable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default) to collect and
receive the Rents as trustee for the benefit of Agent, and apply the Rents so collected to the
Secured Obligations, to the extent then due and payable, then to the payment of normal and
customary operating expenses for the Property which are then due and payable, with the balance, so
long as no Event of Default has occurred, to the account of Assignor. Upon the occurrence of any
Event of Default, the license granted in this Paragraph 2 shall automatically, without further act
by Agent, cease and terminate, and thereafter, any Rents received by Assignor shall be held in
trust for the benefit of, and shall be immediately remitted by Assignor to, Agent.
3. Remedies of Agent. If an Event of Default under the Instrument or the Credit
Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent may collect and receive all the Rents,
including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter, and, Assignor hereby authorizes
Agent or Agent’s agents to collect the Rents and hereby directs such tenants, lessees and licensees
of the Property to pay the Rents to Agent or Agent’s agents. Assignor agrees that each and every
tenant, lessee and licensee of the Property may pay, and hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs
each and every tenant, lessee and licensee of the Property to pay, the Rents to Agent or Agent’s
agents on Agent’s written demand therefor (which demand may be made by Agent at any time after the
occurrence of an Event of Default) without any obligation on the part of said tenant, lessee or
licensee to inquire as to the existence of an Event of Default and notwithstanding any notice or
claim of Assignor to the contrary, and Assignor agrees that Assignor shall have no right or claim
against said tenant, lessee or licensee for or by reason of any Rents paid to Agent following
receipt of such written demand. Anything in this Paragraph 3 to the contrary notwithstanding,
Agent shall not be obligated to discharge or perform the duties of a landlord or lessor to any
tenant or other occupant or incur any liability as a result of the exercise by Agent of its rights
under this Assignment, and Agent shall be liable to account only for the rents, income, issues,
profits and revenues actually received by Agent. In connection with any action taken by the Agent
pursuant to this Paragraph 3, the Agent shall not be liable for any loss sustained by Assignor
resulting from any act or omission of the Agent, including a loss arising from the ordinary
negligence of the Agent, unless such loss is caused by its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct as finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all
applicable appeal periods, nor shall the Agent be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation,
duty or liability of Assignor. Assignor hereby assents to, ratifies and confirms any and all
actions of the Agent with respect to the Property taken under this Paragraph 3.
4. No Liability of Agent. The Agent is fully authorized to receive and receipt for
said revenues and proceeds; to endorse and cash any and all checks and drafts payable to the order
of Assignor or the Agent for the account of Assignor received from or in connection with said
revenues or proceeds and apply the proceeds thereof to the payment of the Secured Obligations, when
received, regardless of the maturity of any of the Loans, or any installment thereof; and to
execute transfer and division orders in the name of Assignor, or otherwise, with
4
warranties binding Assignor. The Agent shall not be liable for any delay, neglect, or failure
to effect collection of any proceeds or to take any other action in connection therewith or
hereunder; but shall have the right, at its election, in the name of Assignor or otherwise, to
prosecute and defend any and all actions or legal proceedings deemed advisable by the Agent in
order to collect such funds and to protect the interests of the Agent and/or Assignor, with all
costs, expenses and attorney’s fees incurred in connection therewith being paid by Assignor.
5. Other Remedies and Non-Waiver. No right, power or remedy conferred upon or
reserved to Agent by this Assignment is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or
remedy, but each and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and
shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission of Agent or of any Banks to
exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any default shall exhaust or impair any such
right, power or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default, or acquiescence
therein; and every right, power and remedy given by this Assignment to Agent may be exercised from
time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Agent. No consent or waiver, expressed or
implied, by Agent to or of any breach or default by Assignor in the performance of the obligations
thereof hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or waiver to or of any other breach
or default in the performance of the same or any other obligations of Assignor hereunder. Failure
on the part of Agent to complain of any act or failure to act or to declare an Event of Default
under the Instrument, the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty or the other Loan Documents, irrespective
of how long such failure continues, shall not constitute a waiver by Agent of its rights hereunder
or impair any rights, powers or remedies of Agent consequent on any breach or default by Assignor.
Nothing contained in this Assignment and no act done or omitted by Agent pursuant to the power and
rights granted to Agent hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver by Agent of its rights and
remedies under the other Loan Documents and this Assignment is made and accepted without prejudice
to any of the rights and remedies possessed by Agent under the terms thereof. The right of the
Agent to collect the Rents and to enforce any other security thereof held by it may be exercised by
Agent either prior to simultaneously with or subsequent to any action taken by it hereunder.
6. Conflict with Credit Agreement Provisions. Assignor hereby acknowledges and agrees
that, in the event of any conflict between the terms hereof and the terms of the Credit Agreement,
the terms of the Credit Agreement shall control.
7. No Mortgagee in Possession. Nothing herein contained shall be construed as
constituting Agent a “mortgagee in possession” in the absence of the taking of actual possession of
the Property by Agent. In the exercise of the powers herein granted to Agent, no liability shall
be asserted or enforced against Agent, all such liability being expressly waived and released by
Assignor.
8. No Oral Change. This Assignment may not be modified, amended, waived, extended,
changed, discharged or terminated orally, or by any act or failure to act on the part of Assignor
or Agent, but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom the enforcement of
any modification, amendment, waiver, extension, change, discharge or termination is sought.

which will be applied to whatever portion of the indebtedness secured hereby and by the Security
Documents which the Agent may elect.
18. No Merger of Estates. So long as any of the indebtedness secured hereby and by

of: (A) the Release or Threat of Release of any Hazardous Substances on, in, under or affecting
all or any portion of the Property or any surrounding areas, regardless of whether or not caused by
or within the control of Borrower or any Guarantor; (B) the existence of any Mold Condition on, in,
under or affecting all or any
3
portion of any Property, regardless of whether or not caused by or within the control of
Borrower or any Guarantor; (C) the violation of any Environmental Laws relating to or affecting the
Property, the Borrower or any Guarantor, whether or not caused by or within the control of Borrower
or any Guarantor; (D) the failure of Borrower or any Guarantor to comply fully with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement or Sections 6.20, 7.5(b) or 8.6 of the Loan Agreement, as if such
sections were specifically set forth herein; (E) the violation of any Environmental Laws in
connection with other real property of Borrower or any Guarantor which gives or may give rise to
any rights whatsoever in any party with respect to the Property by virtue of any Environmental
Laws; or (F) the enforcement of this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) the costs of
assessment, containment and/or removal of any and all Hazardous Substances from all or any portion
of the Property or any surrounding areas, (ii) the costs of assessment, containment, abatement,
remediation and/or removal of any Mold Condition from all or any portion of any Property pursuant
to or in accordance with any Environmental Law (iii) the costs of any actions taken in response to
a Release or Threat of Release of any Hazardous Substances on, in, under or affecting all or any
portion of the Property or any surrounding areas to prevent or minimize such Release or Threat of
Release so that it does not migrate or otherwise cause or threaten danger to present or future
public health, safety, welfare or the environment, (iv) the costs of any actions taken in response
to any Mold Condition on, in, under or affecting all or any portion of any Property to prevent or

comply with the Environmental Laws in connection with all or any portion of the Property or any

any Guarantor to indemnify any Indemnified Party from any matter, cost or expense arising or
resulting solely from such Indemnified Party’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct as
determined by a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction after the exhaustion of all
applicable appeal periods. Nothing herein shall require Borrower or any Guarantor to indemnify any
Indemnified Party from any matter, cost or expense relating to a Release of Hazardous Substances or
violation of any Environmental Law first occurring after the Lender or its nominee acquires title
to the applicable Property by the exercise of its foreclosure remedies or by deed in lieu of
foreclosure.
3. Survival. Except as expressly provided in Paragraph 2, above, the indemnity set
forth above in Paragraph 2 shall survive the repayment of the Loan and any exercise of any remedies
under the Mortgage, including without limitation, the power of sale, or any other remedy in the
nature of foreclosure, and shall not merge with any deed given by Borrower or any Guarantor to
Agent or Lenders in lieu of foreclosure or any deed under a power of sale.
4. No Waiver. The liabilities of Borrower and Guarantors under this Agreement shall
in no way be limited or impaired by, and Borrower and each Guarantor hereby consent to and agree to
be bound by, any amendment or modification of the provisions of the Loan Documents (but excluding
amendments to this Agreement unless made in accordance with Paragraph 10 below) to or with Lenders
or Agent by Borrower or Guarantors or any person who succeeds Borrower or any Guarantor as owner of
the fee or leasehold interest in a Property. In addition, notwithstanding any terms of any of the
Loan Documents to the contrary, the liability of Borrower and Guarantors under this Agreement shall
in no way be limited or impaired by: (i) any extensions of time for performance required by any of
the Loan Documents; (ii) except as expressly provided in Paragraph 2, above, any sale, assignment
or foreclosure of the Note or the
4
Mortgages or any sale or transfer of all or part of the Property; (iii) any exculpatory
provision in any of the Loan Documents limiting Lenders’ or Agent’s recourse to property encumbered
by the Mortgages or to any other security, or limiting Lenders’ or Agent’s rights to a deficiency
judgment against any Guarantor; (iv) the accuracy or inaccuracy of the representations and
warranties made by Borrower or any Guarantor under any of the Loan Documents; (v) the release of
Borrower or any Guarantor or any other Person from performance or observance of any of the
agreements, covenants, terms or conditions contained in the Loan Documents by operation of law,
Lenders’ or Agent’s voluntary act, or otherwise; (vi) the release or substitution, in whole or in
part, of any security for the Note; (vii) Lenders’ or Agent’s failure to record a Mortgage or file
any UCC-1 financing statements (or Lenders’ or Agent’s improper recording or filing of any thereof)
or to otherwise perfect, protect, secure or insure any security interest or lien given as security
for the Note; or (viii) any indemnification that might be provided by a tenant of any Property;
and, in any such case, whether with or without notice to Borrower or Guarantors and with or without
consideration.
5. Separate Obligations.
(a) The certifications, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of Borrower and
Guarantors set forth in this Agreement (including, without limitation, the indemnity provided for
in Paragraph 2 above) are separate and distinct obligations from Borrower’s and Guarantors’
obligations under the Loan Documents; and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
any Loan Document, and even though the certifications, representations, warranties, covenants or
agreements of Borrower and Guarantors contained herein may be identical or substantially similar to
certifications, representations, warranties, covenants or agreements of Borrower and Guarantors set
forth in the Mortgage and secured thereby, the obligations of Borrower and Guarantors under this
Agreement are not secured by the lien of the Mortgage or the security interests or other collateral
described in the Mortgage or the other Loan Documents, it being the intent of Borrower and
Guarantors to create separate obligations of Borrower and Guarantors hereunder which can be
enforced against such Persons without regard to the existence of the Mortgage or other Loan
Documents or the liens or security interests created therein.
(b) This Agreement shall be deemed to be continuing in nature and shall not be discharged or
satisfied by repayment of the Obligations or by the exercise of any remedy by Agent under the Loan
Documents, including foreclosure of the Mortgage or other security documents, and shall continue in
effect after any transfer of the Property, including, without limitation, transfers pursuant to
foreclosure proceedings (or in lieu of foreclosure) and subsequent transfers, even if, as a part of
any such remedy, the Obligations are paid or satisfied in full.
(c) Borrower and Republic each hereby agree that the fact that this Agreement is included in
the definition of “Loan Documents”, and that, accordingly, a misrepresentation or default hereunder
shall constitute a default under the Mortgage and other Loan Documents, shall not be construed to
imply that any statement or agreement set forth above in this Paragraph 5 is inaccurate or untrue
in any respect whatsoever.
(d) Borrower and Guarantors hereby specifically agree never to make any allegation contrary to
the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 5; Borrower and Guarantors hereby expressly waive and
renounce any and all claims, defenses and other rights which are
5
dependent upon an allegation or proposition contrary to the foregoing provisions of this
Paragraph 5; and Borrower and Guarantors hereby expressly waive and renounce the benefit of any
statute or rule of law or equity now provided, or which may hereafter be provided, which would
produce a result contrary to or in conflict with the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph 5 or in
conflict with or in derogation of the indemnity set forth in Paragraph 2 above.
6. Waiver by Borrower and Guarantors. BORROWER AND EACH GUARANTOR WAIVE ANY RIGHT OR
CLAIM OF RIGHT TO CAUSE A MARSHALLING OF BORROWER’S OR ANY GUARANTOR’S ASSETS OR TO CAUSE LENDERS
OR AGENT TO PROCEED AGAINST ANY OF THE SECURITY FOR THE LOAN BEFORE PROCEEDING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT
AGAINST BORROWER OR GUARANTORS OR TO PROCEED AGAINST BORROWER OR GUARANTORS, OR ANY OF THEM, IN ANY
PARTICULAR ORDER. BORROWER AND EACH GUARANTOR AGREES THAT ANY PAYMENTS REQUIRED TO BE MADE
HEREUNDER SHALL BECOME DUE ON DEMAND. BORROWER AND EACH GUARANTOR EXPRESSLY WAIVES AND
RELINQUISHES ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES (INCLUDING ANY RIGHTS OF SUBROGATION) ACCORDED BY APPLICABLE
LAW TO BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR THAT IT MAY HAVE AGAINST LENDERS OR AGENT. BORROWER AND EACH
GUARANTOR COVENANTS AND AGREES THAT UPON THE COMMENCEMENT OF A VOLUNTARY OR INVOLUNTARY BANKRUPTCY
PROCEEDING BY OR AGAINST BORROWER OR ANY GUARANTOR, NEITHER BORROWER NOR ANY GUARANTOR SHALL SEEK A
SUPPLEMENTAL STAY OR OTHERWISE PURSUANT TO 11 U.S.C. §105 OR ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THE BANKRUPTCY
REFORM ACT OF 1978, AS AMENDED, OR ANY OTHER DEBTOR RELIEF LAW (WHETHER STATUTORY, COMMON LAW, CASE
LAW, OR OTHERWISE) OF ANY JURISDICTION WHATSOEVER, NOW OR HEREAFTER IN EFFECT, WHICH MAY BE OR
BECOME APPLICABLE, TO STAY, INTERDICT, CONDITION, REDUCE OR INHIBIT THE ABILITY OF LENDER TO
ENFORCE ANY RIGHTS OF LENDER OR AGENT AGAINST BORROWER OR GUARANTORS BY VIRTUE OF ANY THIS
AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE.
7. Delay. No delay on Lenders’ or Agent’s part in exercising any right, power or
privilege under any of the Loan Documents shall operate as a waiver of any privilege, power or
right hereunder.
8. Releases. Any one or more of Borrower or Guarantors or any other party liable upon
or in respect of this Agreement or the Loan may be released without affecting the liability of any
party not so released.
9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original. Said counterparts shall constitute but one and the same
instrument and shall be binding upon each of the undersigned individually as fully and completely
as if all had signed but one instrument so that the joint and several liability of each of the
undersigned hereunder shall be unaffected by the failure of any of the undersigned to execute any
or all of the said counterparts.
10. Notices. Each notice, demand, election or request provided for or permitted to be
given pursuant to this Agreement shall be given in the manner provided in the Loan Agreement, or if
to a Guarantor, in the manner provided in the Guaranty.
6
11. Amendments. No provision of this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or
terminated orally, by telephone or by any other means except by an instrument in writing signed by
the party against whom enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.
12. Effect. Except as herein provided, this Agreement shall be binding upon each of
the Borrower and Guarantors and their respective successors, successors-in-title and assigns, and
shall inure to the benefit of Lenders, Agent, the other Indemnified Parties, and their respective
successors and assigns. Notwithstanding the foregoing, none of Borrower or Guarantors, without the
prior written consent of Lenders in each instance, may assign, transfer or set over to another, in
whole or in part, all or any part of their benefits, rights, duties and obligations hereunder,
including, but not limited to, performance of and compliance with conditions hereof.
13. GOVERNING LAW; CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE RIGHTS AND
OBLIGATIONS OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL PURSUANT TO SECTION 5-1401 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL
OBLIGATIONS LAW IN ALL RESPECTS BE GOVERNED BY, AND INTERPRETED AND DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH,
THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. EACH BORROWER AND GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND
UNCONDITIONALLY (A) SUBMITS TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK OVER ANY SUIT, ACTION
OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, AND (B) WAIVES ANY AND ALL PERSONAL
RIGHTS UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY STATE (I) TO THE RIGHT, IF ANY, TO TRIAL BY JURY, OR (II) TO OBJECT TO
JURISDICTION WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR VENUE IN ANY PARTICULAR FORUM (INCLUDING FEDERAL)
WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW YORK. BORROWER AND EACH GUARANTOR AGREE THAT, IN ADDITION TO ANY METHODS
OF SERVICE OF PROCESS PROVIDED FOR UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH SUIT,
ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE MADE BY CERTIFIED OR REGISTERED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED,
DIRECTED TO BORROWER AND GUARANTORS AT THE ADDRESSES SET FORTH IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT AND THE
GUARANTY, RESPECTIVELY, AND SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE COMPLETE FIVE (5) DAYS AFTER THE SAME SHALL BE
SO MAILED. NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN, HOWEVER, SHALL PREVENT LENDERS OR AGENT FROM BRINGING ANY
SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING OR EXERCISING ANY RIGHTS AGAINST ANY SECURITY AND AGAINST BORROWER OR
GUARANTORS PERSONALLY, AND AGAINST ANY PROPERTY OF BORROWER OR GUARANTORS, WITHIN ANY OTHER STATE.
INITIATING SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING OR TAKING SUCH ACTION IN ANY STATE SHALL IN NO EVENT
CONSTITUTE A WAIVER OF THE AGREEMENT CONTAINED HEREIN THAT THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL
GOVERN THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF BORROWER, GUARANTORS, LENDERS AND AGENT HEREUNDER OR OF THE
SUBMISSION HEREIN MADE BY BORROWER AND GUARANTORS TO PERSONAL JURISDICTION WITHIN THE STATE OF NEW

Subject to Section 2.22 hereof, should the Secured Obligations secured by this Instrument be
paid in full and the obligation of the Lenders to make Loans and issue Letters of Credit under the
Credit Agreement has terminated, then this Instrument shall be released.
Grantor hereby further covenants and agrees with Trustee and Agent as follows:
ARTICLE 1
1.01 Payment of Secured Obligations. Grantor will pay and perform or cause to be paid
and performed the Secured Obligations according to the tenor thereof and all other sums now or
hereafter secured hereby as the same shall become due.
1.02 Funds for Impositions. Following receipt of written notice from Agent given
after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Grantor shall pay to Agent,
subject to Agent’s option under Section 1.03 hereof, on the days that monthly installments of
interest are payable under the Note, until the Note is paid in full, a sum (hereinafter referred to
as the “Funds”) reasonably estimated by Agent to provide an amount necessary for payment of
the following items in full thirty (30) days prior to when such items become due (hereinafter
collectively referred to as the “Impositions”): (a) the yearly real estate taxes, ad
valorem taxes, personal property taxes, assessments and betterments, and (b) the yearly premium
installments for the insurance covering the Property and required by the Credit Agreement. The
Impositions shall be reasonably estimated initially and from time to time by Agent on the basis of
assessments and bills and estimates thereof. The Funds shall be held by Agent in a separate
interest bearing account free of any liens or claims on the part of creditors of Grantor and as
part of the security for the Secured Obligations. Grantor shall pay all Impositions prior to
delinquency as required by Section 1.03 hereof. In the event Agent elects to reserve Funds as
permitted under this Section 1.02, within ten (10) days after Grantor furnishes Agent with
reasonably satisfactory evidence that Grantor has paid one or more of the items comprising the
Impositions, Agent shall reimburse Grantor (or the one paying the Impositions) therefor to the
extent of the Funds (plus accrued interest) then held by Agent. Alternatively, Agent shall apply
the Funds to pay the Impositions with respect to which the Funds were paid to the extent of the
Funds then held by Agent and provided Grantor has delivered to Agent the assessments or bills
therefor. Grantor shall be permitted to pay any Imposition early in order to take advantage of any
available discounts. Agent shall make no charge for so holding and applying the Funds or for
verifying and compiling said assessments and bills. The Funds are pledged as additional security
for the Secured Obligations, and may be applied, at Agent’s option and without notice to Grantor,
to the payment of the Secured Obligations upon the occurrence of any Event of Default. If at any
time the amount of the Funds held by Agent shall be less than the amount reasonably deemed
necessary by Agent to pay Impositions as such become due, Grantor shall pay to Agent any amount
necessary to make up the deficiency within fifteen (15) business days after notice from Agent to
Grantor requesting payment thereof. Upon payment and performance in full of the Secured
Obligations, Agent shall promptly refund to Grantor any Funds (plus accrued interest) then held by
Agent.
1.03 Impositions, Liens and Charges. Grantor shall pay all Impositions and other
charges, if any, attributable to the Property prior to delinquency, and at Agent’s option during
the
7
continuance of an Event of Default, Grantor shall pay in the manner hereafter provided under
this Section 1.03. Grantor shall, during continuance of an Event of Default, furnish to Agent all
bills and notices of amounts due under Section 1.03 as soon as received, and in the event Grantor
shall make payment directly, Grantor shall, as and when available, furnish to Agent receipts
evidencing such payments prior to the dates on which such payments are delinquent, subject to
Grantor’s right to contest taxes, assessments and other governmental charges as provided in the
Credit Agreement. Grantor shall promptly discharge (by bonding, payment or otherwise) any lien
filed against the Property or Grantor (including federal tax liens) and will keep and maintain the
Property free from the claims of all persons supplying labor or materials to the Property, subject
to Grantor’s right to contest the same as provided in the Credit Agreement. Grantor shall not
claim or be entitled to any credit against the taxable value of the Property by reason of this
Instrument, or any deduction in or credit on the Secured Obligations by reason of Impositions paid.
1.04 Taxes, Liens and Other Charges.
(a) In the event of the passage of any state, federal, municipal or other governmental law,
order, rule or regulation, subsequent to the date hereof, in any manner changing or modifying the
laws now in force governing the taxation of debts secured by deeds of trust or the manner of
collecting taxes so as to adversely affect Agent or the Banks, Grantor will promptly pay any such
tax. If Grantor fails to make such payment within five (5) business days following written demand
therefor, or if, in the opinion of Agent, any such state, federal, municipal, or other governmental
law, order, rule or regulation prohibits Grantor from making such payment or would penalize Agent
or the Banks if Grantor makes such payment or if, in the opinion of Agent, the making of such
payment could reasonably result in the imposition of interest beyond the maximum amount permitted
by applicable law, then the entire balance of the principal sums secured by this Instrument and all
interest accrued thereon shall, at the option of Agent, become immediately due and payable upon
sixty (60) days’ notice to Grantor.
(b) Grantor will pay all taxes, liens, assessments and charges of every character
including all utility charges, whether public or private, already levied or assessed or that may
hereafter be levied or assessed upon or against the Property as required under the Credit
Agreement.
1.05 Insurance.
Grantor shall procure for, deliver to and maintain for the benefit of Agent and Banks the
insurance policies described in the Credit Agreement.
1.06 Condemnation. If all or any portion of the Property shall be damaged or taken
through condemnation (which term when used in this Instrument shall include any damage or taking by
any governmental authority or any transfer by private sale in lieu thereof), either temporarily or
permanently, then all compensation, awards and other payments or relief thereof, shall be paid and
applied in accordance with terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement.
1.07 Care, Use and Management of Property.
8
(a) Grantor will keep, or cause to be kept, the roads and walkways, landscaping and all other
Improvements of any kind now or hereafter erected on the Land or any part thereof in good condition
and repair, will not commit or suffer any material waste, impairment or deterioration (ordinary
wear and tear excepted) and will not do or suffer to be done anything which will increase the risk
of fire or other hazard to the Property or any part thereof.
(b) Grantor will not remove or demolish nor alter the structural character of any building
located on the Land or any fixtures or personal property relating thereto except when incidental to
the replacement of fixtures and personal property with items of like kind and value or customary
tenant improvements pursuant to Leases approved or deemed approved pursuant to the Credit
Agreement.
(c) If the Property or any part thereof is materially damaged by fire or any other cause,
Grantor will give immediate written notice thereof to Agent.
(d) To the extent permitted under the terms of the applicable Leases, Agent and each of the
Banks or its representative is hereby authorized to enter upon and inspect the Property at any time
during normal business hours.
(e) Grantor will promptly comply with all present and future laws, ordinances, rules and
regulations of any governmental authority, all restrictive covenants and other agreements affecting
the Property or relating to the operation thereof affecting the Property or any part thereof and
all licenses or permits affecting the Property or any part thereof, subject to Grantor’s right to
contest the same as provided in the Credit Agreement.
(f) Grantor shall keep the Property, including the Improvements and the Personal Property (as
hereinafter defined), in good order, repair and tenantable condition and shall replace fixtures,
equipment, machinery and appliances on the Property when necessary to keep such items in good
order, repair, and tenantable condition (ordinary wear and tear excepted).
(g) Grantor shall keep all franchises, trademarks, trade names, service marks and licenses and
permits necessary for the Grantor’s use and occupancy of the Property in good standing and in full
force and effect.
(h) Unless required by applicable law or unless Agent has otherwise agreed in writing, Grantor
shall not allow changes in the nature of the occupancy or use from office use. Grantor shall not
abandon the Property. Grantor shall not initiate, fail to contest or acquiesce in a change in the
zoning classification of the Property or subject the Property to restrictive or negative covenants
without Agent’s written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or
delayed. Grantor shall comply with, observe and perform all zoning and other laws affecting the
Property, all agreements and restrictive covenants affecting the Property, and all licenses and
permits affecting the Property, subject to Grantor’s right to contest compliance with laws to the
extent permitted in the Credit Agreement.
(i) Subject to the rights of tenants under the Leases, Agent may, at Grantor’s expense, make
or cause to be made reasonable entries upon and inspections of the Property as
9
permitted in the Credit Agreement, or at any other time when necessary or appropriate, in the
sole reasonable discretion of Agent, to protect or preserve the Property.
(j) If all or any part of the Property shall be damaged by fire or other casualty or loss,
Grantor will promptly restore the Property to the equivalent of its original condition; and if a
part of the Property shall be damaged through condemnation, Grantor will promptly restore, repair
or alter the remaining portions of the Property in a manner satisfactory to Agent. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Grantor shall not be obligated to so restore unless, in each instance, Agent agrees
to make available to Grantor (subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement) any net insurance or
condemnation proceeds actually received by Agent hereunder in connection with such casualty loss or
condemnation, to the extent such proceeds are required to defray the expense of such restoration;
provided, however, that the insufficiency of any such insurance or condemnation proceeds to defray
the entire expense of restoration shall in no way relieve Grantor of its obligation to restore.
1.08 Leases and other Agreements Affecting Property.
(a) As additional security for the Secured Obligations, Grantor presently and unconditionally
assigns and transfers to Agent all of Grantor’s right, title and interest in and to the Leases and
the Revenues, including those now due, past due or to become due by virtue of any of the Leases for
the occupancy or use of all or any part of the Property. Grantor hereby authorizes Agent or
Agent’s agents to collect the Revenues and hereby directs such tenants, lessees and licensees of
the Property to pay the Revenues to Agent or Agent’s agents; provided, however, Grantor shall have
a license (revocable upon the occurrence of an Event of Default) to collect and receive the
Revenues as trustee for the benefit of Agent, and apply the Revenues so collected to the Secured
Obligations, to the extent then due and payable, then to the payment of normal and customary
operating expenses for the Property which are then due and payable, with the balance, so long as no
Event of Default has occurred, to the account of Grantor. Grantor agrees that each and every
tenant, lessee and licensee of the Property may pay, and hereby irrevocably authorizes and directs
each and every tenant, lessee and licensee of the Property to pay, the Revenues to Agent or Agent’s
agents on Agent’s written demand therefor (which demand may be made by Agent at any time after the
occurrence of an Event of Default) without any obligation on the part of said tenant, lessee or
licensee to inquire as to the existence of an Event of Default and notwithstanding any notice or
claim of Grantor to the contrary, and Grantor agrees that Grantor shall have no right or claim
against said tenant, lessee or licensee for or by reason of any Revenues paid to Agent following
receipt of such written demand.
(b) Grantor hereby covenants that Grantor has not executed any prior assignment of the Leases
or the Revenues, that Grantor has not performed, and will not perform, any acts and has not
executed, and will not execute, any instruments which would prevent Agent from exercising the
rights of the beneficiary of this Instrument, and that at the time of execution of this Instrument,
except as disclosed in the rent roll delivered to Agent on or about the date hereof or as provided
for in the Credit Agreement, there has been no anticipation or prepayment of any of the Revenues
for more than one (1) month prior to the due dates of such Revenues. Grantor further covenants
that Grantor will not hereafter collect or accept payment of any Revenues more than one (1) month
prior to the due dates of such Revenues.
10
(c) Grantor agrees that neither the foregoing assignment of Leases and Revenues nor the
exercise of any of Agent’s rights and remedies under this Section or Article 2 hereof shall be
deemed to make Agent a mortgagee-in-possession or otherwise responsible or liable in any manner
with respect to the Leases, the Property or the use, occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or
any portion thereof, unless and until Agent, in person or by agent, assumes actual possession
thereof. Grantor further agrees that the appointment of any receiver for the Property by any court
at the request of Agent or by agreement with Grantor, or the entering into possession of any part
of the Property by such receiver, shall not be deemed to make Agent a mortgagee-in-possession or
otherwise responsible or liable in any manner with respect to the Leases, the Property or the use,
occupancy, enjoyment or operation of all or any portion thereof.
(d) If Agent exercises its rights and remedies pursuant to this Section or Article 2 hereof,
all Revenues thereafter collected shall be applied in such order as Agent may elect in its
discretion to the reasonable costs of taking control of and managing the Property and collecting
the Revenues, including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred, fees,
premiums on receiver’s bonds, costs of repairs to the Property, premiums on insurance policies,
Impositions and other charges on the Property, and the costs of discharging any obligation or
liability of Grantor as landlord, lessor or licensor of the Property, or to the Secured
Obligations. Agent or any receiver shall have access to the books and records used in the
operation and maintenance of the Property and shall be liable to account only for those Revenues
actually received. Agent shall not be liable to Grantor, anyone claiming under or through Grantor
or anyone having an interest in the Property by reason of anything done or left undone by Agent
pursuant to this Section or Article 2 hereof, except in the event of Agent’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct. If the Revenues are not sufficient to meet the costs of taking control of and
managing the Property and collecting the Revenues, any monies reasonably expended by Agent for such
purposes shall become a portion of the Secured Obligations. Unless Agent and Grantor agree in
writing to other terms of payment, such amounts shall be payable within five (5) business days
following written notice from Agent to Grantor requesting payment thereof and shall bear interest
from the date of disbursement at the Default Rate stated in the Credit Agreement unless payment of
interest at such rate would be contrary to applicable law, in which event such amounts shall bear
interest at the highest rate which may be collected from Grantor under applicable law. The
entering upon and taking possession of and maintaining of control of the Property by Agent or any
receiver and the application of Revenues as provided herein shall not cure or waive any Event of
Default or invalidate any other right or remedy of Agent hereunder.
(e) It is the intention of Agent and Grantor that the assignment effectuated by this
Instrument with respect to the Revenues shall be a direct and currently effective assignment and
shall not constitute merely an obligation to xxxxx x xxxx, security interest or pledge for the
purpose of securing the Secured Obligations. It is agreed and understood that Section 55-220.1 of
the Code of
Virginia shall govern perfection of Agent’s security interest in the Leases and
Revenues.
1.09 Leases of the Property.
(a) Except as permitted in the Credit Agreement, Grantor shall not enter into any Lease of all
or any portion of the Property or amend, supplement or otherwise modify, or
11
terminate or cancel, or accept the surrender of, or consent to the assignment or subletting
of, or grant any concessions to or waive the performance of any obligations of any tenant, lessee
or licensee under, any now existing or future Lease of the Property, without the prior written
consent of Agent. Grantor, at Agent’s request, shall furnish Agent with executed copies of all
Leases hereafter made of all or any part of the Property as required by the Credit Agreement. Upon
Agent’s request, Grantor shall make a separate and distinct assignment to Agent, as additional
security, of all Leases hereafter made of all or any part of the Property.
(b) There shall be no merger of the leasehold estates created by the Leases with the fee
estate of the Property without the prior written consent of Agent. Agent may at any time and from
time to time by specific written instrument intended for the purpose, unilaterally subordinate the
lien of this Instrument to any Lease, without joinder or consent of, or notice to, Grantor, any
tenant or any other Person, and notice is hereby given to each tenant under a Lease of such right
to subordinate. No such subordination shall constitute a subordination to any lien or other
encumbrance, whenever arising, or improve the right of any junior lienholder. Nothing herein shall
be construed as subordinating this Instrument to any Lease.
(c) Grantor hereby appoints Agent its attorney-in-fact, coupled with an interest, empowering
Agent to subordinate this Instrument to any Leases (which appointment shall not be exercised until
and unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing).
1.10 Security Agreement.
(a) Insofar as the machinery, apparatus, equipment, fittings, fixtures, building supplies and
materials, general intangibles and articles of personal property either referred to or described in
this Instrument, or in any way connected with the use and enjoyment of the Property is concerned,
Grantor grants unto Agent a security interest therein and this Instrument is hereby made and
declared to be a security agreement, encumbering each and every item of personal property (the
“
Personal Property”) included herein, in compliance with the provisions of the Uniform
Commercial Code as enacted in the applicable jurisdiction as set forth in Section 3.04 below (the
“
UCC”). A financing statement or statements reciting this Instrument to be a security
agreement, affecting all of said personal property aforementioned, shall be appropriately filed.
The remedies for any violation of the covenants, terms and conditions of the security agreement
herein contained shall be (i) as prescribed herein with respect to the Property, or (ii) as
prescribed by general law, or (iii) as prescribed by the specific statutory consequences now or
hereafter enacted and specified in said UCC, all at Agent’s sole election. Grantor and Agent agree
that the filing of such financing statement(s) in the records normally having to do with personal
property shall never be construed as in any way derogating from or impairing this declaration and
hereby stated intention of Grantor and Agent that everything used in connection with the production
of income from the Property and/or adapted for use therein and/or which is described or reflected
in this Instrument, is to the full extent provided by law, and at all times and for all purposes
and in all proceedings both legal or equitable shall be, regarded as part of the real estate
irrespective of whether (i) any such item is physically attached to the Improvements, (ii) serial
numbers are used for the better identification of certain items capable of being thus identified in
a recital contained herein, or (iii) any such item is referred to or reflected in any such
financing statement(s) so filed at any time. Similarly, the mention in any such financing
12
statement(s) of the rights in and to (1) the proceeds of any fire and/or hazard insurance
policy, or (2) any award in eminent domain proceedings for a taking or for loss of value, or (3)
Grantor’s interest as lessor in any present or future lease or rights to income growing out of the
use and/or occupancy of the Property, whether pursuant to lease or otherwise, shall never be
construed as in anyway altering any of the rights of Agent as determined by this Instrument or
impugning the priority of Agent’s lien granted hereby or by any other recorded document, but such
mention in such financing statement(s) is declared to be for the protection of Agent in the event
any court shall at any time hold with respect to the foregoing (1), (2) or (3), that notice of
Agent’s priority of interest to be effective against a particular class of persons, must be filed
in the UCC records.
(b) Grantor warrants that (i) each Grantor’s (that is, “Debtor’s”) correct legal name
(including, without limitation, punctuation and spacing) indicated on the public record of such
Grantor’s jurisdiction of organization, identity or corporate structure, residence or chief
executive office and jurisdiction of organization are as set forth in Subsection 1.10(c) hereof;
(ii) such Grantor (that is, “Debtor”) has been using or operating under said name, identity or
corporate structure without change for the time period set forth in Subsection 1.10(c) hereof, and
(iii) the location of the Personal Property secured by this Instrument is upon the Land. Grantor
covenants and agrees that Grantor shall not change any of the matters addressed by clauses (i) or
(iii) of this Subsection 1.10(b) unless it has given Agent thirty (30) days prior written notice of
any such change and has executed or authorized at the request of Agent, such additional financing
statements or other instruments to be filed in such jurisdictions as Agent may deem necessary or
advisable in its sole discretion to prevent any filed financing statement from becoming misleading
or losing its perfected status.
(c) The information contained in this Subsection 1.10(c) is provided in order that this
Instrument shall comply with the requirements of the Uniform Commercial Code, as enacted in the
Commonwealth of
Virginia, for instruments to be filed as financing statements. The names of the
“Debtor” and the “Secured Party”, the identity or corporate structure, jurisdiction of
organization, organizational number, federal tax identification number, and residence or chief
executive office of “Debtor”, and the time period for which “Debtor” has been using or operating
under said name and identity or corporate structure without change, are as set forth in Schedule 1
of
Exhibit “C” attached hereto and by this reference made a part hereof; the mailing
address of the “Secured Party” from which information concerning the security interest may be
obtained, and the mailing address of “Debtor”, are as set forth in Schedule 2 of
Exhibit
“C” attached hereto; and a statement indicating the types, or describing the items, of Personal
Property secured by this Instrument is set forth hereinabove.
(d) Exhibit “C” correctly sets forth all names and tradenames that Grantor has used
within the last five years, and also correctly sets forth the locations of all of the chief
executive offices of Grantor over the last five years.
(e) The Grantor hereby covenants and agrees that:
(1) Grantor shall not merge or consolidate into, or transfer any of the
Property to, any other person or entity except as permitted under the Credit
Agreement.
13
(2) Grantor shall, at any time and from time to time, take such steps as Agent
may reasonably request for Agent (A) to obtain an acknowledgment, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, of any bailee having possession of any
of the Property, stating that the bailee holds possession of such Property on behalf
of Agent, (B) to obtain “control” of any investment property, deposit accounts,
letter-of-credit rights, or electronic chattel paper (as such terms are defined by
the UCC with corresponding provisions thereof defining what constitutes “control”
for such items of collateral), with any agreements establishing control to be in
form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Agent, and (C) otherwise to insure the
continued perfection and priority of the Agent’s security interest in any of the
Property and of the preservation of its rights therein. If Grantor shall at any
time, acquire a “commercial tort claim” (as such term is defined in the UCC) with
respect to the Property or any portion thereof, Grantor shall promptly notify Agent
thereof in writing, providing a reasonable description and summary thereof, and
shall execute a supplement to this Instrument in form and substance acceptable to
Agent granting a security interest in such commercial tort claim to Agent.
(3) Grantor hereby authorizes Agent, its counsel or its representative, at any
time and from time to time, to file financing statements, amendments and
continuations that describe or relate to the Property or any portion thereof in such
jurisdictions as Agent may deem necessary or desirable in order to perfect the
security interests granted by Grantor under this Instrument or any other Loan
Document, and such financing statements may contain, among other items as Agent may
deem advisable to include therein, the federal tax identification number of Grantor.
(4) Grantor shall not license, lease, sell or otherwise transfer any of the
general intangibles to any third party during the term of this Instrument and the
Credit Agreement without the prior written consent of the Agent (which consent may
be withheld in the Agent’s sole discretion); and the Grantor will continue to use
all trademarks, service marks and trade names in a consistent manner and shall take
all steps necessary to properly maintain any formal registrations on the general
intangibles, and to defend and enforce them, for the term of this Instrument and the
Credit Agreement.
1.11 Further Assurances; After-Acquired Property. At any time and from time to time,
upon request by Agent, Grantor will make, execute and deliver or cause to be made, executed and
delivered, to Trustee and Agent and, where appropriate, cause to be recorded and/or filed and from
time to time thereafter to be rerecorded and/or refiled at such time and in such offices and places
as shall be deemed desirable by Agent, any and all such other and further deeds of trust, security
agreements, financing statements, notice filings, continuation statements, instruments of further
assurance, certificates and other documents as may, in the opinion of Agent, be necessary or
desirable in order to effectuate, complete, or perfect, or to continue and preserve (a) the
obligation of Grantor under the Guaranty, this Instrument and the other Loan Documents and (b) this
Instrument as a first and prior lien upon and security interest in and to all of the Property,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired by Grantor. Upon any failure by
14
Grantor so to do, Agent may make, execute, record, file, re-record and/or refile any and all
such deeds of trust, security agreements, financing statements, continuation statements,
instruments, certificates, and documents for and in the name of Grantor and Grantor hereby
irrevocably appoints Agent the agent and attorney-in-fact of Grantor so to do. The lien hereof will
automatically attach, without further act, to all after acquired property attached to and/or used
in the operation of the Property or any part thereof.
1.12 Expenses. Grantor will pay or reimburse Agent, within five (5) business days of
written demand therefor, for all reasonable attorney’s fees, costs and expenses incurred by Agent
in any suit, action, legal proceeding or dispute of any kind in which Banks, Agent or Trustee is
made a party or appears as party plaintiff or defendant, affecting or arising in connection with
the Secured Obligations secured hereby, this Instrument or the interest created herein, or the
Property, including, but not limited to, the exercise of the power of sale contained in this
Instrument, any condemnation action involving the Property or any action to protect the security
hereof; and any such amounts paid by Banks, Agent or Trustee shall be added to the Secured
Obligations secured by the lien of this Instrument.
1.13 Subrogation. Agent shall be subrogated to the claims and liens of all parties
whose claims or liens are discharged or paid with the proceeds of the Secured Obligations secured
hereby.
1.14 Limit of Validity. If from any circumstances whatsoever fulfillment of any
provision of this Instrument, the Guaranty, the Credit Agreement, the Note or any other Loan
Document, at the time performance of such provision shall be due, shall be subject to the defense
of usury or otherwise violate applicable law concerning interest or other charges, then ipso facto
the obligation to be fulfilled shall be reduced to the limit, so that in no event shall any
exaction be possible under this Instrument, the Guaranty, the Note, the Credit Agreement or any
other Loan Document be subject to the defense of usury or otherwise violate applicable law
concerning interest or other charges that is in excess of the current limit, but such obligation
shall be fulfilled to the maximum limit permitted. The provisions of this Section 1.14 shall
control every other provision of this Instrument, the Guaranty, the Note, the Credit Agreement or
any other Loan Document.
1.15 Conveyance of Property. Grantor hereby acknowledges to Agent that (a) the
identity and expertise of Grantor was and continues to be a material circumstance upon which Agent
has relied in connection with, and which constitute valuable consideration to Agent for, the
extending to Borrower of the loans and other extensions of credit evidenced by the Note and Credit
Agreement, and (b) any change in such identity or expertise could materially impair or jeopardize
the security for the payment of the Secured Obligations granted to Agent by this Instrument.
Grantor therefore covenants and agrees with Agent, as part of the consideration for the extending
to Grantor of the loans evidenced by the Note, that Grantor shall not convey, transfer, assign,
further encumber or pledge any or all of its interest in the Property except as permitted under the
Credit Agreement.

ARTICLE 2
2.01 Events of Default. The terms “Default” and “Event of Default” as used herein
shall have the following meanings:
“Default” shall mean any event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse
of time, or both, would become an Event of Default.
“Event of Default” shall mean (a) any default in the payment of the
obligations of Grantor hereunder or of Borrower or Republic under any of the other
Loan Documents when the same shall become due and payable which is not cured within
any grace or notice and cure period provided in the Credit Agreement or such other
Loan Documents, if any, subject to any limitations in the Credit Agreement on the
right of Grantor and Borrower to receive notices of default, or (b) any default in
the performance of any other obligations of Grantor hereunder which is not cured
within any grace or cure period provided in the Credit Agreement (it being
acknowledged by Grantor that no such cure period is provided with respect to a
failure to maintain insurance as required in Section 1.05, any default under Section
1.08, any default under Section 1.15, or any default excluded from any provision for
a grace period or cure of defaults contained in the Credit Agreement, the Security
Documents (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or any other agreement evidencing or
securing the Secured Obligations), or (c) any representation or warranty of Grantor
hereunder proving to be false or incorrect in any material respect upon the date
when made or deemed to have been repeated, or (d) any default in the performance of
the obligations of Grantor or Borrower or any other Person under any of the Security
Documents beyond the expiration of any applicable notice and cure period, (e) the
occurrence of any “Event of Default” under the Credit Agreement, (f) any amendment
to or termination of a financing statement naming Grantor as debtor and Agent as
secured party, or any correction statement with respect thereto, is filed in any
jurisdiction by, or caused by, or at the instance of Grantor or by, or caused by, or
at the instance of any principal, member, general partner or officer of Grantor
(collectively, “Grantor Party”) without the prior written consent of Agent; or (g)
any amendment to or termination of a financing statement naming Grantor as debtor
and Agent as secured party, or any correction statement with respect thereto, is
filed in any jurisdiction by any party other than an Grantor Party or Agent or
Agent’s counsel without the prior written consent of Agent and Grantor fails to use
its best efforts to cause the effect of such filing to be completely nullified to
the reasonable satisfaction of Agent within ten (10) days after notice to Grantor
thereof.
2.02 Acceleration of Maturity. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, then the entire Secured Obligations secured hereby shall, at the option of Agent and as
permitted by the terms of the Credit Agreement, immediately become due and payable without notice
or demand except as required by law, time being of the essence of this Instrument.
16
2.03 Right to Enter and Take Possession.
(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Grantor, upon demand of
Agent, shall forthwith surrender to Agent the actual possession of the Property, and if and to the
extent permitted by law, Agent itself, or by such officers or agents as it may appoint, may enter
and take possession of all the Property (or such portion or portions as Agent may select) without
the appointment of a receiver, or an application therefor, and may exclude Grantor and its agents
and employees wholly therefrom, and may have joint access with Grantor to the books, papers and
accounts of Grantor.
(b) If Grantor shall for any reason fail to surrender or deliver the Property or any part
thereof after such demand by Agent, Agent may obtain a judgment or decree conferring upon Agent the
right to immediate possession or requiring Grantor to deliver immediate possession of the Property
to Agent. Grantor will pay to Agent, upon demand, all expenses of obtaining such judgment or
decree, including reasonable compensation to Agent, its attorneys and agents; and all such expenses
and compensation shall, until paid, be secured by the lien of this Instrument.
(c) Upon every such entering upon or taking of possession, Agent may hold, store, use,
operate, manage and control the Property and conduct the business thereof and, from time to time,
(i) make all necessary and proper maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions,
betterments and improvements thereto and thereon and purchase or otherwise acquire additional
fixtures, personalty and other property necessary to maintain the good condition of the Property or
to perform obligations with respect to the Property or to comply with any of the Leases; (ii)
insure or keep the Property insured; (iii) lease, manage and operate the Property and exercise all
the rights and powers of Grantor to the same extent as Grantor could in its own name or otherwise
with respect to the same; and (iv) enter into any and all agreements with respect to the exercise
by others of any of the powers herein granted Agent, all as Agent from time to time may determine
to be in its best interest. Agent may collect and receive all the rents, issues, profits and
revenues from the Property, including those past due as well as those accruing thereafter, and,
after deducting (1) all expenses of taking, holding, managing and operating the Property (including
compensation for the services of all persons employed for such purposes); (2) the cost of all such
maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, additions, betterments, improvements, purchases and
acquisitions; (3) the cost of such insurance; (4) such taxes, assessments and other similar charges
as Agent may at its option pay; (5) other proper charges upon the Property or any part thereof; and
(6) the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of the attorneys and agents of Agent,
Agent shall apply the remainder of the monies and proceeds so received by Agent in accordance with
Section 12.5 of the Credit Agreement. Agent shall have no obligation to discharge any duties of a
landlord to any tenant
or to incur any liability as a result of any exercise by Agent of any rights
under this Instrument or otherwise. Agent shall not be liable for any failure to collect rents,
issues, profits and revenues from the Property, nor shall Agent be liable to account for any such
rents, issues, profits or revenues unless actually received by Agent.
(d) Whenever all that is due upon the Secured Obligations and under any of the terms,
covenants, conditions and agreements of this Instrument shall have been paid and all Events of
Default cured, Agent shall surrender possession of the Property to Grantor, its
17
successors or assigns. The same right of taking possession, however, shall exist if any
subsequent Event of Default shall occur and be continuing.
2.04 Performance by Agent. If there shall be a Default in the payment, performance or
observance of any term, covenant or condition of this Instrument, Agent may, so long as such
Default continues, at its option, pay, perform or observe the same, and all payments made or costs
or expenses incurred by Agent in connection therewith, shall be secured hereby and shall be, upon
demand, immediately repaid by Grantor to Agent with interest thereon at the rate of interest for
overdue amounts set forth in Section 4.12 of the Credit Agreement. Agent shall be the sole judge
of the necessity for any such actions and of the amounts to be paid. Agent is hereby empowered to
enter and to authorize others to enter upon the Land or any part thereof for the purpose of
performing or observing any such defaulted term, covenant or condition without thereby becoming
liable to Grantor or any person in possession holding under Grantor.
2.05
Receiver. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent,
upon application to a court of competent jurisdiction, shall be entitled as a matter of strict
right without regard to the occupancy or value of any security for the Secured Obligations secured
hereby or the solvency of any party bound for its payment, to the appointment of a receiver to take
possession of and to operate the Property (or such portion or portions as Agent may select) and to
collect and apply the rents, issues, profits and revenues thereof. The receiver shall have all of
the rights and powers permitted under the laws of the Commonwealth of
Virginia. Grantor will pay
to Agent within five (5) days following written demand all reasonable expenses, including
receiver’s fees, attorney’s fees, costs and agent’s compensation, incurred pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 2.05, and all such expenses shall be secured by this Instrument.
2.06 Enforcement.
(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent, at its option, may
effect the foreclosure of this Instrument by directing the Trustee to sell the Property (or such
portion or portions thereof as the Trustee may select) at public auction at such time and place and
upon such terms and conditions as may be required or permitted by applicable law, after having
first advertised the time, place and terms of sale not less than once a week for three successive
weeks in a newspaper having general circulation in the city or county in which the Land being sold
lies. At any foreclosure sale, such portion of the Property as is offered for sale may, at the
Trustee’s option, be offered for sale for one total price, and the proceeds of such sale accounted
for in one account without distinction between the items of security or without assigning to them
any proportion of such proceeds, the Grantor hereby waiving the application of any doctrine of
marshalling.
This Instrument shall be construed to impose and confer upon the parties hereto, and the
beneficiaries hereunder, all duties, rights and obligations prescribed in Section 55-59 and
Sections 55-59.1 through 55-59.4 of the Code of
Virginia, and to incorporate the following by short
form reference to Section 55-60 of the Code of
Virginia:
Exemptions
waived
Renewal, extension or reinstatement permitted.
18
(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Agent may, in addition to
and not in abrogation of the rights covered under subparagraph (a) of this Section 2.06, either
with or without entry or taking possession as herein provided or otherwise, proceed by a suit or
suits in law or in equity or by any other appropriate proceeding or remedy (i) to enforce payment
of the Secured Obligations or the performance of any term, covenant, condition or agreement of this
Instrument or any other right, and (ii) to pursue any other remedy available to it, all as Agent
shall determine most effectual for such purposes.
2.07
Purchase by Agent. Upon any foreclosure sale, Agent, on behalf of the Banks, may
bid for and purchase the Property and, subject to those claims having priority under Section
55-59.4 of the Code of
Virginia, shall be entitled to apply all or any part of the Secured
Obligations secured hereby as a credit to the purchase price.
2.08
Application of Proceeds of Sale. The proceeds received by Agent as a result of a
foreclosure sale of the Property shall be applied in the manner provided for in Section 55-59.4 of
the Code of
Virginia.
2.09 Grantor as Tenant Holding Over. In the event of any such foreclosure sale by
Agent, Grantor shall be deemed a tenant holding over and shall forthwith deliver possession to the
purchaser or purchasers at such sale or be summarily dispossessed according to provisions of law
applicable to tenants holding over.
2.10 Waiver of Appraisement, Valuation, Stay, Extension and Redemption Laws. Grantor
agrees, to the full extent permitted by law, that in case of a Default or Event of Default, neither
Grantor nor anyone claiming through or under it shall or will set up, claim or seek to take
advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension, homestead, exemption or redemption laws
now or hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this
Instrument, or the absolute sale of the Property, or the final and absolute putting into possession
thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereat, and Grantor, for itself and all
who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives to the full extent that it may
lawfully so do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have the assets comprised in
the security intended to be created hereby marshaled upon any foreclosure of the lien hereof.
2.11 Waiver of Homestead. Grantor hereby waives and renounces all homestead and
exemption rights provided for by the Constitution and the laws of the United States and of any
state, in and to the Property as against the collection of the Secured Obligations, or any part
hereof.
2.12 Leases; Licensees. Agent, at its option, is authorized to foreclose this
Instrument subject to the rights of any tenants and licensees of the Property, and the failure to
make any such tenants or licensees parties to any such foreclosure proceedings and to foreclose
their rights will not be, nor be asserted by Grantor to be a defense to any proceedings instituted
by Agent to collect the sums secured hereby.
2.13 Discontinuance of Proceedings and Restoration of the Parties. In case Agent
shall have proceeded to enforce any right, power or remedy under this Instrument by foreclosure,
19
entry or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any
reason, or shall have been determined adversely to Agent, then and in every such case Grantor and
Agent shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, powers and
remedies of Agent shall continue as if no such proceeding had been taken.
2.14 Remedies Cumulative. No right, power or remedy conferred upon or reserved to
Agent by this Instrument is intended to be exclusive of any other right, power or remedy, but each
and every such right, power and remedy shall be cumulative and concurrent and may be exercised
against Grantor as Agent may select and shall be in addition to any other right, power and remedy
given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.
2.15 Waiver.
(a) No delay or omission of Agent or of any Bank to exercise any right, power or remedy
accruing upon any Default or Event of Default shall exhaust or impair any such right, power or
remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Default or Event of Default, or
acquiescence therein; and every right, power and remedy given by this Instrument to Agent may be
exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by Agent. No consent or
waiver, expressed or implied, by Agent to or of any Default or Event of Default by Grantor in the
performance of the obligations thereof hereunder shall be deemed or construed to be a consent or
waiver to or of any other Default or Event of Default in the performance of the same or any other
obligations of Grantor hereunder. Failure on the part of Banks to complain of any act or failure
to act or to declare a Default or Event of Default, irrespective of how long such failure
continues, shall not constitute a waiver by any Bank of its rights hereunder or impair any rights,
powers or remedies consequent on any Default or Event of Default by Grantor.
(b) If Banks or Agent on behalf of the Banks, (i) grant forbearance or an extension of time
for the payment of any sums secured hereby; (ii) take other or additional security for the payment
of any sums secured hereby; (iii) waive or do not exercise any right granted herein or in the Note,
the Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document; (iv) release any part of the Property from the
lien of this Instrument or otherwise change any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements
of the Note, this Instrument or any other Loan Document; (v) consent to the filing of any map, plat
or replat affecting the Property; (vi) consent to the granting of any easement or other right
affecting the Property; or (vii) make or consent to any agreement subordinating the lien hereof,
any such act or omission shall not release, discharge, modify, change or affect the original
liability under the Note, the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty, this Instrument or any other
obligation of Grantor, or any subsequent purchaser of the Property or any part thereof, or any
maker, co-signer, endorser, surety or guarantor; nor shall any such act or omission preclude Agent
from exercising any right, power or privilege herein granted or intended to be granted in the event
of any Default then made or of any subsequent Default; nor, except as otherwise expressly provided
in an instrument or instruments executed by Agent, shall the lien of this Instrument be altered
thereby. In the event of the sale or transfer by operation of law or otherwise of all or any part
of the Property, Agent, without notice, is hereby authorized and empowered to deal with any such
vendee or transferee with reference to the Property or the Secured Obligations secured hereby, or
with reference to any of the terms, covenants, conditions or agreements hereof, as fully and to the
same extent as it might deal with
20
the original parties hereto and without in any way releasing or discharging any liabilities,
obligations or undertakings.
2.16 Suits to Protect the Property. Agent shall have power (a) to institute and
maintain such suits and proceedings as it may deem expedient to prevent any impairment of the
Property by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of this Instrument, (b) to preserve or
protect its interest in the Property and in the rents, issues, profits and revenues arising
therefrom, and (c) to restrain the enforcement of or compliance with any legislation or other
governmental enactment, rule or order that may be unconstitutional or otherwise invalid, if the
enforcement of or compliance with such enactment, rule or order would impair the security hereunder
or be prejudicial to the interest of Banks.
2.17 Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In the case of any receivership, insolvency,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other proceedings affecting
Grantor, its creditors or its property, Agent, to the extent permitted by law, shall be entitled to
file such proofs of claim and other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of Agent allowed in such proceedings for the entire amount due and payable by Grantor under
this Instrument at the date of the institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount
which may become due and payable by Grantor hereunder after such date.
2.18 WAIVER OF GRANTOR’S RIGHTS. BY EXECUTION OF THIS INSTRUMENT, GRANTOR EXPRESSLY:
(A) ACKNOWLEDGES THE RIGHT OF AGENT AND/OR BANKS TO ACCELERATE THE SECURED OBLIGATIONS AND THE
POWER OF AGENT TO CAUSE TRUSTEE TO SELL THE PROPERTY BY NONJUDICIAL FORECLOSURE UPON DEFAULT BY
GRANTOR WITHOUT ANY JUDICIAL HEARING AND WITHOUT ANY NOTICE OTHER THAN SUCH NOTICE (IF ANY) AS IS
SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED TO BE GIVEN UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF THIS INSTRUMENT OR BY LAW; (B) TO THE
FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS WHICH GRANTOR MAY HAVE UNDER THE
CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE FIFTH AND FOURTEENTH
AMENDMENTS THEREOF), THE VARIOUS PROVISIONS OF THE CONSTITUTIONS FOR THE SEVERAL STATES, OR BY
REASON OF ANY OTHER APPLICABLE LAW, TO NOTICE AND TO JUDICIAL HEARING PRIOR TO THE EXERCISE BY
AGENT OF ANY RIGHT OR REMEDY HEREIN PROVIDED TO AGENT, EXCEPT SUCH NOTICE (IF ANY) AS IS
SPECIFICALLY REQUIRED TO BE PROVIDED IN THIS INSTRUMENT OR BY APPLICABLE LAW; (C) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT
GRANTOR HAS READ THIS INSTRUMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND ANY AND ALL QUESTIONS REGARDING
THE LEGAL EFFECT OF THIS INSTRUMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS AND THEIR PROVISIONS HAVE BEEN
EXPLAINED FULLY TO GRANTOR AND GRANTOR HAS CONSULTED WITH COUNSEL OF GRANTOR’S CHOICE PRIOR TO
EXECUTING THIS INSTRUMENT; AND (D) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT ALL WAIVERS OF THE AFORESAID RIGHTS OF GRANTOR
HAVE BEEN MADE KNOWINGLY, INTENTIONALLY AND WILLINGLY BY GRANTOR AS PART OF A BARGAINED FOR LOAN
TRANSACTION.
2.19 Claims Against Agent and Banks. No action at law or in equity shall be
commenced, or allegation made, or defense raised, by Grantor against Agent or the Banks for
21
any claim under or related to this Instrument, the Note, the Credit Agreement, the Guaranty or
any other instrument, document, transfer, conveyance, assignment or loan agreement given by Grantor
with respect to the Secured Obligations secured hereby, or related to the conduct of the parties
thereunder, unless written notice of such claim, expressly setting forth the particulars of the
claim alleged by Grantor, shall have been given to Agent within sixty (60) days from and after the
initial awareness of Grantor of the event, omission or circumstances forming the basis of Grantor
for such claim. Any failure by Grantor to timely provide such written notice to Agent shall
constitute a waiver by Grantor of such claim.
2.20 [Intentionally Omitted].
2.21 Indemnification; Subrogation; Waiver of Offset.
(a) Grantor shall indemnify, defend and hold Agent and the Banks harmless for, from and
against any and all liability, Secured Obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions,
suits, costs and expenses (including Agent’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, together with reasonable
appellate counsel fees, if any) of whatever kind or nature which may be asserted against, imposed
on or incurred by Agent or the Banks in connection with the Secured Obligations, this Instrument,
the Property, or any part thereof, or the exercise by Agent of any rights or remedies granted to it
under this Instrument; provided, however, that nothing herein shall be construed to obligate
Grantor to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Agent or the Banks for, from and against any and all
liabilities, Secured Obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions, suits, costs and
expenses asserted against, imposed on or incurred by Agent or a Bank by reason of such Person’s
willful misconduct or gross negligence if a judgment is entered against Agent or a Bank by a court
of competent jurisdiction after the expiration of all applicable appeal periods.
(b) If Agent or a Bank is made a party defendant to any litigation or any claim is threatened
or brought against Agent or a Bank concerning the Secured Obligations, this Instrument, the
Property, or any part thereof, or any interest therein, or the construction, maintenance, operation
or occupancy or use thereof, then Grantor shall indemnify, defend and hold such Person harmless
for, from and against all liability by reason of said litigation or claims, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees (together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) and expenses incurred by
such Person in any such litigation or claim, whether or not any such litigation or claim is
prosecuted to judgment; provided, however, that nothing in this Section 2.21(b) shall be construed
to obligate Grantor to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Agent or a Bank for, from and against
any and all liabilities or claims imposed on or incurred by such Person by reason of such Person’s
willful misconduct or gross negligence if a judgment is entered against such Person by a court of
competent jurisdiction after expiration of all applicable appeal periods. If Agent commences an
action against Grantor to enforce any of the terms hereof or to prosecute any breach by Grantor of
any of the terms hereof or to recover any sum secured hereby, Grantor shall pay to Agent its
reasonable attorneys’ fees (together with reasonable appellate counsel, fees, if any) and expenses.
The right to such attorneys’ fees (together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) and
expenses shall be deemed to have accrued on the commencement of such action, and shall be
enforceable whether or not such action is prosecuted to judgment. If Grantor breaches any term of
this Instrument, Agent may engage the services of an attorney or attorneys to protect its rights
hereunder, and in the event of
22
such engagement following any breach by Grantor, Grantor shall pay Agent reasonable attorneys’
fees (together with reasonable appellate counsel fees, if any) and expenses incurred by Agent,
whether or not an action is actually commenced against Grantor by reason of such breach. All
references to “attorneys” in this Subsection and elsewhere in this Instrument shall include without
limitation any attorney or law firm engaged by Agent and Agent’s in-house counsel, and all
references to “fees and expenses” in this Subsection and elsewhere in this Instrument shall include
without limitation any fees of such attorney or law firm and any allocation charges and allocation
costs of Agent’s in-house counsel.
(c) A waiver of subrogation shall be obtained by Grantor from its insurance carrier and,
consequently, Grantor waives any and all right to claim or recover against Agent, the Banks and
each of its officers, employees, agents and representatives, for loss of or damage to Grantor, the
Property, Grantor’s property or the property of others under Grantor’s control from any cause
insured against or required to be insured against by the provisions of this Instrument.
(d) ALL SUMS PAYABLE BY GRANTOR HEREUNDER SHALL BE PAID WITHOUT NOTICE (EXCEPT AS MAY
OTHERWISE BE PROVIDED HEREIN OR REQUIRED BY LAW), DEMAND, COUNTERCLAIM, SETOFF, DEDUCTION OR
DEFENSE AND WITHOUT ABATEMENT, SUSPENSION, DEFERMENT, DIMINUTION OR REDUCTION, AND THE SECURED
OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITIES OF GRANTOR HEREUNDER SHALL IN NO WAY BE RELEASED, DISCHARGED OR
OTHERWISE AFFECTED BY REASON OF: (I) ANY DAMAGE TO OR DESTRUCTION OF OR ANY CONDEMNATION OR SIMILAR
TAKING OF THE PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF; (II) ANY RESTRICTION OR PREVENTION OF OR INTERFERENCE
WITH ANY USE OF THE PROPERTY OR ANY PART THEREOF; (III) ANY TITLE DEFECT OR ENCUMBRANCE OR ANY
EVICTION FROM THE LAND OR THE IMPROVEMENTS ON THE LAND OR ANY PART THEREOF BY TITLE PARAMOUNT OR
OTHERWISE; (IV) ANY BANKRUPTCY, INSOLVENCY, REORGANIZATION, COMPOSITION, ADJUSTMENT, DISSOLUTION,
LIQUIDATION, OR OTHER LIKE PROCEEDING RELATING TO AGENT OR THE BANKS, OR ANY ACTION TAKEN WITH
RESPECT TO THIS INSTRUMENT BY ANY TRUSTEE OR BY ANY RECEIVER OF AGENT, OR BY ANY COURT, IN SUCH
PROCEEDING; (V) ANY CLAIM WHICH GRANTOR HAS, OR MIGHT HAVE, AGAINST AGENT OR THE BANKS; (VI) ANY
DEFAULT OR FAILURE ON THE PART OF AGENT OR THE BANKS TO PERFORM OR COMPLY WITH ANY OF THE TERMS
HEREOF OR OF ANY OTHER AGREEMENT WITH GRANTOR; OR (VII) ANY OTHER OCCURRENCE WHATSOEVER, WHETHER
SIMILAR OR DISSIMILAR TO THE FOREGOING, WHETHER OR NOT GRANTOR SHALL HAVE NOTICE OR KNOWLEDGE OF
ANY OF THE FOREGOING. GRANTOR WAIVES ALL RIGHTS NOW OR HEREAFTER CONFERRED BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE
TO ANY ABATEMENT, SUSPENSION, DEFERMENT, DIMINUTION, OR REDUCTION OF ANY SUM SECURED HEREBY AND
PAYABLE BY GRANTOR.
2.22 Revolving Credit/Future Advance. This Instrument secures Secured Obligations
which may provide for a variable rate of interest as well as revolving credit advances and other
future advances, whether such advances are obligatory or otherwise. Advances under the Note are
subject to the terms and provisions of the Credit Agreement and the other Security Documents.
Grantor acknowledges that the Secured Obligations may increase or decrease from
23
time to time and that if the outstanding balance of the Secured Obligations is ever repaid to
zero the security title and security interest created by this Instrument shall not be deemed
released or extinguished by operation of law or implied intent of the parties. This Instrument
shall remain in full force and effect as to any further advances under the Credit Agreement made
after any such zero balance until the Secured Obligations are paid in full, all agreements to make
further advances or issue letters of credit have been terminated and this Instrument has been
canceled of record. Grantor waives the operation of any applicable statutes, case law or
regulation having a contrary effect.
