CREDIT AGREEMENT, dated as of May 2, 2006, among TRIZEC PARTNERS REAL ESTATE, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership (“
TPRE”), TRIZEC CAL HOLDINGS, LLC, a Delaware limited liability
company (“
TCH”, and together with TPRE, the “
Borrowers” and each a
“
Borrower”), TRIZEC PROPERTIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (“
Trizec”), the
Lenders party hereto from time to time, and DEUTSCHE BANK TRUST COMPANY AMERICAS, as Administrative
Agent (in such capacity, the “
Administrative Agent”) (all capitalized terms used herein and
defined in
Section 9 are used herein as therein defined).
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, subject to and on the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Lenders are willing
to make available to the Borrowers the credit facilities provided for herein.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED:
SECTION
1. Amount and Terms of Credit.
1.01 Commitments to
Extend Loans. (a) Subject to and upon the terms and conditions
set forth herein, each Lender severally agrees to make a term loan (each, a “Loan” and,
collectively, the “Loans”) to the Borrowers, which Loans (i) shall be incurred pursuant to
a single advance on the Effective Date, (ii) shall be denominated in Dollars, (iii) except as
hereinafter provided, shall, at the option of the Borrowers, be incurred and maintained as, and/or
converted into, Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, provided that (A) except as
otherwise specifically provided in Section 1.08(b), all Loans comprising the same Borrowing
shall at all times be of the same Type, and (B) unless the Administrative Agent has otherwise
agreed or has determined that the Syndication Date has occurred (at which time this clause (B)
shall no longer be applicable), no more than five (5) Borrowings of Loans to be maintained as
Eurodollar Rate Loans may be incurred prior to the 104th day after the Effective Date (or, if
later, the last day of the Interest Period applicable to the fifth (5th) Borrowing of Eurodollar
Rate Loans referred to below), the first of which Borrowings shall be made on the Effective Date
and shall have an Interest Period of one (1) week, the second of which Borrowings may only be made
on the last day of the Interest Period of the first such Borrowing and shall have an Interest
Period of one (1) week, the third of which Borrowings may only be made on the last day of the
Interest Period of the second such Borrowing and shall have an Interest Period of one (1) month,
the fourth of which Borrowings may only be made on the last day of the Interest Period of the third
such Borrowing and shall have an Interest Period of one (1) month, and the fifth of which
Borrowings may only be made on the last day of the Interest Period of the fourth such Borrowing and
shall have an Interest Period of one (1) month and (iv) shall be made by each Lender in that
principal amount which equals the Commitment of such Lender on the Effective Date. Once repaid,
Loans incurred hereunder may not be reborrowed.
(b) Subject to Section 1.01(a), more than one (1) Borrowing may occur on the same
date, but at no time shall there be outstanding more than eight (8) Borrowings of Eurodollar Rate
Loans in the aggregate (or such greater number as may be acceptable to the Administrative Agent).
1.02
Disbursement of Funds. No later than 12:00 Noon (
New York time) on the Effective
Date, each Lender will make available its
pro rata portion (determined in
accordance with
Section 1.05) of the Loans requested to be made on such date. All such
amounts will be made available in Dollars and in immediately available funds at the Payment Office,
and the Administrative Agent will make available to the Borrowers at the Payment Office, the
aggregate of the amounts so made available by the Lenders to the extent of funds actually received
by the Administrative Agent. Unless the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by any
Lender prior to the Effective Date that such Lender does not intend to make available to the
Administrative Agent such Lender’s portion of any Borrowing to be made on such date, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such amount available to the
Administrative Agent on such date of Borrowing and the Administrative Agent may (but shall not be
obligated to), in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrowers a corresponding
amount. If such corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Administrative Agent by
such Lender, the Administrative Agent shall be entitled to recover such corresponding amount on
demand from such Lender. The Administrative Agent shall also be entitled to recover on demand from
such Lender, interest on such corresponding amount in respect of each day from the date such
corresponding amount was made available by the Administrative Agent to the Borrowers until the date
such corresponding amount is recovered by the Administrative Agent at a rate per annum equal to the
overnight Federal Funds Rate for the first three (3) days and the interest rate otherwise
applicable to such Loan for each day thereafter. Nothing in this
Section 1.02 shall be
deemed to relieve any Lender from its obligation to make its Loan hereunder or to prejudice any
rights which the Borrowers may have against any Lender as a result of any failure by such Lender to
make its Loan hereunder.
1.03
Notes. (a) The obligation of the Borrowers to pay the principal of, and
interest on, the Loan made by each Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note substantially in
the form of Exhibit A, with blanks appropriately completed in conformity herewith (each, a
“Note” and, collectively, the “Notes”).
(b) The Note issued to each Lender shall (i) be duly executed and delivered by the Borrowers,
(ii) be payable to such Lender or its registered assigns and be dated the date of issuance, (iii)
be in a stated principal amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of the Loan of such
Lender on the date of issuance thereof and be payable in Dollars in the principal amount of the
Loan evidenced thereby from time to time, (iv) mature on the Maturity Date, (v) bear interest as
provided in the appropriate clause of Section 1.06 in respect of the Base Rate Loans and
Eurodollar Rate Loans, as the case may be, evidenced thereby, (vi) be subject to voluntary
prepayment of Loans as provided in Section 3.01 and mandatory repayment of Loans as provided in Section 3.02 and (vii) be entitled to the benefits of this Agreement
and the other Credit Documents.
(c) Each Lender will note on its internal records the amount of the Loan made by it and each
payment in respect thereof and will, prior to any transfer of its Note, endorse on the reverse side
thereof the outstanding principal amount of the Loan evidenced thereby. Failure to make any such
notation or any error in such notation shall not affect each Borrower’s obligations in respect of
such Loan.
-2-
(d) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained above or elsewhere in this Agreement,
Notes shall only be delivered to Lenders which at any time (or from time to time) specifically
request the delivery of such Notes. No failure of any Lender to request or obtain a Note
evidencing its Loan to the Borrowers shall affect or in any manner impair the obligation of each
Borrower to pay the Loan (and all related Obligations) which would otherwise be evidenced thereby
in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement, and shall not in any way affect the security
therefor or guaranties thereof provided pursuant to the various Credit Documents. Any Lender which
does not have a Note evidencing its outstanding Loan shall in no event be required to make the
notations otherwise described in preceding clause (c) of this Section 1.03. At any time
when any Lender requests the delivery of a Note to evidence its Loan, the Borrowers shall promptly
execute and deliver to the respective Lender the requested Note in the appropriate amount or
amounts to evidence such Loan.
1.04
Conversions. The Borrowers shall have the option to convert, on any Business Day
occurring after the Effective Date, all or a portion equal to at least the Minimum Borrowing Amount
of the outstanding principal amount of Loans made pursuant to one or more Borrowings of one or more
Types of Loans into a Borrowing of another Type of Loan,
provided that (i) except as
otherwise provided in
Section 1.08(b), Eurodollar Rate Loans may be converted into Base
Rate Loans only on the last day of an Interest Period applicable to the Loans being converted and
no such partial conversion of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall reduce the outstanding principal amount
of such Eurodollar Rate Loans made pursuant to a single Borrowing to less than the Minimum
Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, (ii) unless the Required Lenders otherwise specifically agree,
Base Rate Loans may only be converted into Eurodollar Rate Loans if no Specified Default or Event
of Default is in existence on the date of the conversion, (iii) no conversion pursuant to this
Section 1.04 shall result in a greater number of Borrowings of Eurodollar Rate Loans than
is permitted under
Section 1.01 and (iv) unless the Administrative Agent has determined
that the Syndication Date has occurred (at which time this clause (iv) shall no longer be
applicable), prior to the 104th day after the Effective Date (or, if later, the last day of the
Interest Period applicable to the fifth (5th) Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans referred to in
Section 1.01(a)), conversion of Base Rate Loans into Eurodollar Rate Loans may only be made if any
such conversion is effective on the first day of the second, third, fourth and fifth Interest
Periods referred to in clause (B) of the proviso appearing in
Section 1.01(a). Each such
conversion shall be effected by the Borrowers by giving the Administrative Agent at the Notice
Office prior to 12:00 Noon (
New York time) at least three (3) Business Days’ prior notice (each a
“
Notice of Conversion/Continuation”), in the form of
Exhibit B, appropriately
completed to specify the Loans to be so converted, the Borrowing or Borrowings pursuant to which
such Loans were made and, if to be converted into Eurodollar Rate Loans, the Interest Period to be
initially applicable thereto. The Administrative Agent shall give each Lender prompt notice of any
such proposed conversion.
1.05
Pro Rata Borrowings. All Borrowings of Loans under this Agreement shall be
incurred from the Lenders pro rata on the basis of their Commitments. It is
understood that no Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender of its
obligation to make its Loan hereunder and that each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loan
provided to be made by it hereunder, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to make its Loan
hereunder.
-3-
1.06
Interest. (a) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay interest in
respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Base Rate Loan from the date of the Borrowing
thereof until the earlier of (x) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and
(y) the conversion of such Base Rate Loan to a Eurodollar Rate Loan pursuant to Section
1.04, at a rate per annum which shall be equal to the sum of the Base Rate plus the relevant
Applicable Margin each as in effect from time to time.
(b) The Borrowers jointly and severally agree to pay interest in respect of the unpaid
principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan from the date of the Borrowing thereof until the
earlier of (x) the maturity thereof (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and (y) the conversion
of such Eurodollar Rate Loan to a Base Rate Loan pursuant to Section 1.04, 1.07 or
1.08, as applicable, at a rate per annum which shall, during each Interest Period
applicable thereto, be equal to the sum of the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the
Applicable Margin as in effect from time to time during such Interest Period.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an
Event of Default, all outstanding Loans shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the
greater of (x) the rate then borne by such Loans and (y) the sum of the Base Rate as in effect from
time to time plus 4.5% and (ii) to the extent permitted by law, overdue interest in respect of each
Loan and any other overdue amount payable hereunder shall, in each case, bear interest at a rate
per annum equal to the sum of the Base Rate as in effect from time to time plus 4.5%.
(d) Accrued (and theretofore unpaid) interest shall be payable (i) in respect of each Base
Rate Loan, in arrears on (x) June 30, 2006 and (y) each Quarterly Payment Date thereafter, (ii) in
respect of each Eurodollar Rate Loan, on the last day of each Interest Period applicable thereto
and (iii) in respect of each Loan, on any repayment or prepayment (on the amount repaid or
prepaid), at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and, after such maturity, on demand.
(e) Upon each Interest Determination Date, the Administrative Agent shall determine the
Eurodollar Rate for the respective Interest Period to be applicable to Eurodollar Rate Loans and
shall promptly notify the Borrowers and the Lenders of such determination. Each such determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on
all parties hereto.
1.07
Interest Periods. Subject to
Section 1.01(a), at the time the Borrowers
give any Notice of Conversion/Continuation in respect of the making of, or conversion into, any
Eurodollar Rate Loan (in the case of the initial Interest Period applicable thereto) or prior to
12:00 Noon (
New York time) on the third (3rd) Business Day prior to the expiration of an Interest
Period applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan (in the case of any subsequent Interest Period), the
Borrowers shall have the right to elect, by giving the Administrative Agent notice thereof, a one,
two or three month interest period or, if consented to by the Administrative Agent and otherwise
available to all of the Lenders, a period of less than one (1) month (each an “
Interest
Period”) applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loan,
provided that:
-4-
(i) all Eurodollar Rate Loans comprising a single Borrowing shall at all times have the
same Interest Period;
(ii) the initial Interest Period for any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall
commence on the date of such Borrowing (including the date of any conversion thereto from a
Base Rate Loan) and each Interest Period occurring thereafter in respect of such Eurodollar
Rate Loans shall commence on the day on which the next preceding Interest Period applicable
thereto expires;
(iii) if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Loan begins on a day for which there
is no numerically corresponding day in the calendar month at the end of such Interest
Period, such Interest Period shall end on the last Business Day of such calendar month;
(iv) if any Interest Period for a Eurodollar Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day
which is not a Business Day, such Interest Period shall expire on the next succeeding
Business Day; provided, however, that if any Interest Period for a
Eurodollar Rate Loan would otherwise expire on a day which is not a Business Day but is a
day of the month after which no further Business Day occurs in such month, such Interest
Period shall expire on the next preceding Business Day;
(v) unless the Required Lenders otherwise specifically agree, no Interest Period may be
selected at any time when a Specified Default or an Event of Default is then in existence;
and
(vi) no Interest Period in respect of any Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans shall be
selected which extends beyond the Maturity Date.
Subject to
Section 1.01(a), if by 12:00 Noon (
New York time) on the third Business Day
preceding the expiration of any Interest Period applicable to a Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans,
(x) the Borrowers have failed to elect a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar
Rate Loans as provided above, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected to continue such
Eurodollar Rate Loans as a new Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans having an Interest Period of one month, or (y) the Borrowers are not permitted to elect
a new Interest Period to be applicable to such Eurodollar Rate Loans as provided above, the
Borrowers shall be deemed to have elected to convert such Eurodollar Rate Loans into Base Rate
Loans. Each deemed election under this paragraph shall be effective as of the expiration date of
such current Interest Period.
1.08 Increased Costs, Illegality, etc. (a) In the event that any Lender shall have
determined in good faith (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive
and binding upon all parties hereto but, with respect to clause (i) below, may be made only by the
Administrative Agent):
(i) on any Interest Determination Date that, by reason of any changes arising after the
Effective Date affecting the applicable interbank market, adequate and fair means do not
exist for ascertaining the applicable interest rate on the basis provided for in the
definition of the Eurodollar Rate; or
-5-
(ii) at any time, that such Lender shall incur increased costs or reductions in the
amounts received or receivable hereunder with respect to any Eurodollar Rate Loan because of
(x) any change arising after the Effective Date in any applicable law or governmental rule,
regulation, order, guideline or request (whether or not having the force of law) or in the
interpretation or administration thereof by the NAIC or any governmental authority, central
bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof and
including the introduction of any new law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline
or request, such as, for example, but not limited to: (A) a change in the basis of taxation
of payment to any Lender of the principal of or interest on such Loans or any other amounts
payable hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax on, or determined by reference to,
the net income or profits or franchise taxes based on net income of such Lender pursuant to
the laws of the country in which it is organized or in which its principal office or
applicable lending office is located or any subdivision thereof or therein) or (B) a change
in official reserve requirements (except to the extent included in the computation of the
Eurodollar Rate) or any special deposit, assessment or similar requirement against assets of
deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender (or its applicable
lending office) and/or (y) other circumstances since the Effective Date affecting the
applicable interbank market or the position of such Lender and lenders generally in such
market; or
(iii) at any time after the date of this Agreement, that the making or continuance of
any Eurodollar Rate Loan has been made (x) unlawful by any law or governmental rule,
regulation or order, (y) impossible by compliance by any Lender in good faith with any
governmental request (whether or not having force of law) or (z) impracticable as a result
of a contingency occurring after the Effective Date which materially and adversely affects
the applicable interbank market;
then, and in any such event, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent, in the case of clause (i)
above) shall promptly give notice (by telephone promptly confirmed in writing) to the Borrowers
and, except in the case of clause (i) above, to the Administrative Agent of such determination (which notice the Administrative Agent shall promptly transmit to each of the other Lenders).
Thereafter (x) in the case of clause (i) above, Eurodollar Rate Loans shall no longer be available
until such time as the Administrative Agent notifies the Borrowers and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice by the Administrative Agent no longer exist, and any
Notice of Conversion/Continuation given by the Borrowers with respect to such Loans which have not
yet been incurred (including by way of conversion) shall be deemed rescinded by the Borrowers, (y)
in the case of clause (ii) above, the Borrowers shall, subject to the provisions of Section
11.17 (to the extent applicable), pay to such Lender, within ten (10) days after its written
request therefor, such additional amounts (in the form of an increased rate of, or a different
method of calculating, interest or otherwise as such Lender in good faith shall reasonably
determine) as shall be required to compensate such Lender for such increased costs or reductions in
amounts received or receivable hereunder (a written notice as to the additional amounts owed to
such Lender, showing in reasonable detail the basis for the calculation thereof, submitted to the
Borrowers by such Lender shall, absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all
the parties hereto) and (z) in the case of clause (iii) above, the Borrowers shall take one of the
actions specified in Section 1.08(b) as promptly as possible and, in any event, within the
time period required by law.
-6-
(b) At any time that any Eurodollar Rate Loan is affected by the circumstances described in
Section 1.08(a)(ii) or (iii), the Borrowers may (and, in the case of a Eurodollar
Rate Loan affected by the circumstances described in Section 1.08(a)(iii), shall) either
(x) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loan is then being made initially or pursuant to a conversion,
cancel the respective Borrowing by giving the Administrative Agent telephonic notice (confirmed in
writing) on the same date that the Borrowers were notified by the affected Lender pursuant to
Section 1.08(a)(ii) or (iii) or (y) if the affected Eurodollar Rate Loan is then
outstanding, upon at least two (2) Business Days’ written notice to the Administrative Agent,
require the affected Lenders to convert such Eurodollar Rate Loan into a Base Rate Loan,
provided that if more than one Lender is affected at any time as described above in this
clause (b), then all affected Lenders must be treated the same pursuant to this Section
1.08(b).
(c) If at any time after the Effective Date any Lender determines that the introduction of or
any change (which introduction or change shall have occurred after the Effective Date) in any
applicable law or governmental rule, regulation, order, guideline, directive or request (whether or
not having the force of law) concerning capital adequacy, or any change in interpretation or
administration thereof by the NAIC or any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, will have the effect of increasing the
amount of capital required or expected to be maintained by such Lender or any corporation
controlling such Lender based on the existence of such Lender’s Commitment hereunder or its
obligations hereunder, the Borrowers agree jointly and severally to pay, subject to the provisions
of Section 11.17 (to the extent applicable), to such Lender, within ten (10) days after its
written request therefor, such additional amounts as shall be required to compensate such Lender or
such other corporation for the increased cost to such Lender or such other corporation or the
reduction in the rate of return to such Lender or such other corporation as a result of such
increase of capital. In determining such additional amounts, each Lender will act reasonably and
in good faith and will use averaging and attribution methods which are reasonable, provided
that such Lender’s determination of compensation owing under this Section 1.08(c) shall,
absent manifest error, be final and conclusive and binding on all the parties hereto. Each Lender, upon determining that any additional amounts will be payable pursuant to this
Section 1.08(c), will give prompt written notice thereof to the Borrowers, which notice
shall show in reasonable detail the basis for calculation of such additional amounts.
1.09
Compensation. The Borrowers agree jointly and severally, subject to the
provisions of Section 11.17 (to the extent applicable), to compensate each Lender, within
ten (10) days after its written request (which request shall set forth in reasonable detail the
basis for requesting such compensation and shall be conclusive absent manifest error), for all
reasonable losses, expenses and liabilities (including, without limitation, any loss, expense or
liability incurred by reason of the liquidation or reemployment of deposits or other funds required
by such Lender to fund its Eurodollar Rate Loans, but excluding loss of anticipated profits) which
such Lender may sustain: (i) if for any reason (other than a default by such Lender or the
Administrative Agent) a Borrowing of, or conversion from or into, Eurodollar Rate Loans does not
occur on a date specified therefor in the Notice of Conversion/Continuation (whether or not
withdrawn or deemed withdrawn pursuant to Section 1.08(a)); (ii) if any repayment
(including any repayment made pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.02 or as a result of an
acceleration of the Loans pursuant to Section 8) or conversion of any Eurodollar Rate Loans
occurs on a date which is not the last day of an Interest Period or maturity date with respect
thereto, as the case may be;
-7-
(iii) if any prepayment of any Eurodollar Rate Loans is not made on
any date specified in a notice of prepayment given by the Borrowers; or (iv) as a consequence of
any election made pursuant to Section 1.08(b).
1.10 Lending Offices. Each Lender may at any time or from time to time designate, by
written notice to the Administrative Agent to the extent not already reflected on Schedule
II, one or more lending offices (which, for this purpose, may include Affiliates of the
respective Lender) for the Loan made by such Lender hereunder; provided that, for
designations made after the Effective Date, to the extent such designation shall result in
increased costs under Section 1.08 or 3.04 in excess of those which would be
charged in the absence of such designation of a different lending office (including a different
Affiliate of the respective Lender), then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such excess
increased costs (although the Borrowers, in accordance with and pursuant to the other provisions of
this Agreement, shall be obligated, jointly and severally, to pay the costs which would apply in
the absence of such designation and any subsequent increased costs of the type described above
resulting from changes after the date of the respective designation). Each lending office and
Affiliate of any Lender designated as provided above shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, be
treated in the same manner as the respective Lender (and shall be entitled to all indemnities and
similar provisions in respect of its acting as such hereunder). Nothing in this Section
1.10 shall affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrowers or the rights of any
Lender provided in Sections 1.08 and 3.04.
1.11 Requested Designation of other Lending Offices. Each Lender agrees that on the
occurrence of any event giving rise to the operation of Section 1.08(a)(ii) or
(iii), Section 1.08(c), or Section 3.04 with respect to such Lender, it will, if requested by the Borrowers, use reasonable efforts (subject to overall
policy considerations of such Lender) to designate another lending office for its Loan, provided
that such designation is made on such terms that such Lender and its lending office suffer no
economic, legal or regulatory disadvantage, with the object of avoiding the consequence of the
event giving rise to the operation of such Section. Nothing in this Section 1.11 shall
affect or postpone any of the obligations of the Borrowers or the rights of any Lender provided in
Section 1.08 or 3.04.
1.12 Replacement of Lenders. (a) If any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender or
otherwise defaults in its obligations to make its Loan, (b) upon the occurrence of an event giving
rise to the operation of Section 1.08(a)(ii) or (iii), Section 1.08(c) or
Section 3.04 with respect to any Lender which results in such Lender charging to the
Borrowers increased costs in excess of those being generally charged by the other Lenders, or (c)
in the case of certain refusals by a Lender to consent to certain proposed changes, waivers,
discharges or terminations with respect to this Agreement which have been approved by the Required
Lenders as (and to the extent) provided in Section 11.12(b), the Borrowers shall have the
right, if no Specified Default or Event of Default then exists (or, in the case of the preceding
clause (c), no Specified Default or Event of Default will exist immediately after giving effect to
such replacement), to replace such Lender (the “Replaced Lender”) with one or more other
Eligible Transferees, none of whom shall constitute a Defaulting Lender at the time of such
replacement (collectively, the “Replacement Lender”), and each of whom shall be required to
be reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent; provided that (i) at the time of any
replacement pursuant to this Section 1.12, the Replacement Lender shall enter into one or
more Assignment and Assumption Agreements
-8-
pursuant to Section 11.04(b) (and with all fees
payable pursuant to said Section 11.04(b) to be paid by the Replacement Lender) pursuant to
which the Replacement Lender shall acquire the Commitment and/or the outstanding Loan of the
Replaced Lender and, in connection therewith, shall pay to the Replaced Lender in respect thereof
an amount equal to the sum of (I) the principal of, and all accrued interest on, the outstanding
Loan of the Replaced Lender, and (II) all accrued, but theretofore unpaid, Fees owing to the
Replaced Lender pursuant to Section 2.01 and (ii) all obligations of the Borrowers due and
owing to the Replaced Lender at such time (other than those specifically described in clause (i)
above in respect of which the assignment purchase price has been, or is concurrently being, paid)
shall be paid in full to such Replaced Lender concurrently with such replacement. Upon the
execution of the respective Assignment and Assumption Agreements, the payment of amounts referred
to above, recordation of the assignment on the Register by the Administrative Agent pursuant to
Section 11.15 and, if so requested by the Replacement Lender, delivery to the Replacement
Lender of the appropriate Note executed by the Borrowers in exchange for the Note held by the
Replaced Lender, if any, the Replacement Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and the Replaced
Lender shall cease to constitute a Lender hereunder, except with respect to indemnification
provisions under this Agreement (including, without limitation, Sections 1.08,
1.09, 3.04, 10.06 and 11.01), which shall survive as to such
Replaced Lender.
1.13 Maturity Date Extension. (a) So long as the Extension Requirements are satisfied at the time of the delivery of the
notice referred to below, the Borrowers may, by a written notice delivered to the Administrative
Agent prior to (but not less than 30 days or more then 160 days prior to) the original Maturity

extended to May 2, 2008. So long as the Extension Requirements are satisfied on November 2, 2007,
the First Extended Maturity Date shall be extended on such date to May 2, 2008 (the “Second
Extended Maturity Date”) without further consent of the Lenders. The Administrative Agent
shall notify each Lender of (i) its receipt of the notice of extension described above and (ii) the
effectiveness of any extension of the First Extended Maturity Date.

Equity Percentage in the purchaser in such Asset Sale, and (y) an amount equal to the product
obtained by multiplying the JV Partner Equity Percentage in such purchaser by an amount equal to
the greater of (I) an amount equal to 100% of the Net Sale Proceeds from the applicable Asset Sale
and (II) an amount equal to the As-Is Value of the applicable Real Estate Asset; (B) in the case of
any Asset Sale by Trizec, any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person in which Trizec owns a direct
or indirect Equity Interest (other than the Borrowers, their respective Subsidiaries and any other
Person which is a Property Owner of a Financed Property) to (i) a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of
Trizec, the amount to be so applied as a mandatory repayment of Loans shall be zero (i.e., no
mandatory repayment of Loans shall be required) or (ii) any Subsidiary of Trizec which is not a
Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Trizec, the amount to be so applied as a mandatory repayment of Loans
shall be an amount equal to the JV Partner Equity Percentage in such purchaser multiplied by the
greater of (x) an amount equal to 100% of the Net Sale Proceeds from the applicable Asset Sale and
(y) an amount equal to the As-Is Value of the applicable Real Estate Asset; and (C) in the case of
(i) the sale of any Additional Property by either Borrower or any Subsidiary of either Borrower to
a Subsidiary of Trizec (other than either of the Borrowers or their respective Subsidiaries), if at
the time of the contribution of such Additional Property or the Equity Interests in the owner of
such Additional Property to either Borrower or any Subsidiary of either Borrower, Trizec (x)
represented in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that such Additional Property or
Equity Interests were being contributed to such Borrower or Subsidiary solely for Canadian tax
purposes and (y) provided the Administrative Agent with a written explanation (in reasonable
detail) of such tax purposes and (ii) at the time such Additional Property is sold by such Borrower
or Subsidiary, Trizec (x) represents in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that
such Additional Property is being sold solely for Canadian tax purposes and (y)
-11-
provides the
Administrative Agent with a written explanation (in reasonable detail) of such tax purposes, then,
so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, any Net Sale Proceeds from such Asset Sale
shall not be required to be applied as a mandatory repayment of Loans. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained in this Section 3.02(b) or in Section 3.02(d), if the
Borrowers have made mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 3.02 in an aggregate
amount of not less than $900,000,000, then, so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists,
any other Net Sale Proceeds from any Asset Sale or Net Cash Proceeds from the sale of Equity
Interests which is part of a 1031 Exchange shall not be required to be so applied on such date to
the extent such Net Sale Proceeds or Net Cash Proceeds qualify as “property of a like-kind” under
Section 1031 of the Code; provided, however, if such 1031 Exchange is not completed
in accordance with Section 1031 of the Code for any reason, on the date of such determination by
the Borrowers, such Net Sale Proceeds or Net Cash Proceeds shall be applied to the mandatory repayment of Loans pursuant to this Section 3.02(b) or Section
3.02(d), as applicable, but without regard to this sentence.
(c) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 3.02, on
each date on or after the Effective Date upon which Trizec, either of the Borrowers, any of their
respective Subsidiaries or any other Person in which Trizec owns a direct or indirect Equity
Interest receives any proceeds from any issuance or incurrence by any such Person of Indebtedness
(excluding Indebtedness incurred under the Credit Documents or the Existing Credit Documents), an
amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of the respective issuance or incurrence of such
Indebtedness shall be applied on such date as a mandatory repayment of Loans in accordance with the
requirements of Section 3.02(g).
(d) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 3.02, on
each date on or after the Effective Date upon which Trizec, either of the Borrowers, any of their
respective Subsidiaries or any other Person in which Trizec owns a direct or indirect Equity
Interest receives any proceeds (other than proceeds received within ninety (90) days after the
redemption, retirement or repurchase of ownership or Equity Interests in any of them, up to the
amount paid by such Person in connection with such redemption, retirement or repurchase, where, for
the avoidance of doubt, the net effect is that Trizec shall not have increased its Consolidated Net
Worth as a result of any such proceeds) from any sale or issuance of its Equity Interests
(including, without limitation, in connection with any joint venture transaction), an amount equal
to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds of such sale or issuance of Equity Interests shall be applied on
such date as a mandatory repayment of Loans in accordance with the requirements of Section
3.02(g); provided, however, (A) in the case of any sale of Equity Interests by
either of the Borrowers, any of their respective Subsidiaries or any other Person in which a
Borrower owns a direct or indirect Equity Interest to (i) either of the Borrowers or their
respective Subsidiaries and such purchaser is a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Trizec, the amount to be
so applied as a mandatory repayment of Loans shall be zero (i.e. no mandatory repayment of Loans
shall be required), (ii) a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Trizec (other than either of the Borrowers or
their respective Subsidiaries), the amount to be so applied as a mandatory repayment of Loans shall
be an amount equal to the As-Is Value of the underlying Real Estate Asset or (iii) a Subsidiary of
Trizec which is not a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary, the amount to be so applied as a mandatory repayment
of Loans shall be an amount equal to the sum of (x) an amount equal to the product obtained by
multiplying the As-Is Value of the underlying Real Estate Asset by the Trizec Equity Percentage in
the purchaser in such Equity Interests, and (y) the product obtained
-12-
by multiplying the JV Partner
Equity Percentage in such purchaser by an amount equal to the greater of (I) an amount equal to
100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from the applicable sale of Equity Interests and (II) an amount equal
to the As-Is Value of the applicable underlying Real Estate Asset; (B) in the case of any sale of
Equity Interests by Trizec, any of its Subsidiaries or any other Person in which Trizec owns a
direct or indirect Equity Interest (other than the Borrowers, their respective Subsidiaries and any
other Person which is a Property Owner of a Financed Property) to (i) a Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of
Trizec, the amount to be so applied as a mandatory repayment of Loans shall be zero (i.e., no
mandatory repayment of Loans shall be required) or (ii) any Subsidiary of Trizec which is not a
Wholly-Owned Subsidiary of Trizec, the amount to be so applied as a mandatory repayment of Loans
shall be an amount equal to the JV Partner Equity Percentage in such purchaser multiplied by the
greater of (x) an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds and (y) an amount equal to the
As-Is Value of the applicable underlying Real Estate Asset; and (C) in the case of (i) the sale of the Equity Interests in
the owner of any Additional Property by either Borrower or any Subsidiary of either Borrower to a
Subsidiary of Trizec (other than either of the Borrowers or their respective Subsidiaries), if at
the time of the contribution of such Additional Property or the Equity Interests in the owner of
such Additional Property to either Borrower or any Subsidiary of either Borrower, Trizec (x)
represented in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that such Additional Property or
Equity Interests were being contributed to such Borrower or Subsidiary solely for Canadian tax
purposes and (y) provided the Administrative Agent with a written explanation (in reasonable
detail) of such tax purposes and (ii) at the time such Equity Interests are sold by such Borrower
or Subsidiary, Trizec (x) represents in writing to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders that
such Equity Interests are being sold solely for Canadian tax purposes and (y) provides the
Administrative Agent with a written explanation (in reasonable detail) of such tax purposes, then,
so long as no Default or Event of Default then exists, any Net Sale Proceeds from such sale of
Equity Interests shall not be required to be applied as a mandatory repayment of Loans.
(e) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this
Section 3.02, on
each date on or after the Effective Date upon which any Property Owner receives any cash proceeds
from any Recovery Event, an amount equal to 100% of the Net Cash Proceeds from such Recovery Event
shall be applied on such date as a mandatory repayment of Loans in accordance with the requirements
of
Section 3.02(g);
provided,
however, that (x) so long as no Default or
Event of Default then exists and such Net Cash Proceeds (calculated without regard to the Trizec
Equity Percentage therein) do not exceed $25,000,000 as to any one Recovery Event, such Net Cash
Proceeds shall not be required to be so applied on such date to the extent that Trizec and the
Borrowers have delivered a certificate to the Administrative Agent on such date stating that such
Net Cash Proceeds shall be used to replace or restore the Real Estate Asset in respect of which
such Net Cash Proceeds were paid by a date not later than the Maturity Date (which certificate
shall set forth the estimate of the Net Cash Proceeds to be so expended), and (y) so long as no
Default or Event of Default then exists and if (i) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds (calculated
without regard to the Trizec Equity Percentage therein) exceeds $25,000,000 as to any one Recovery
Event, (ii) the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds, together with other cash available to Trizec or
its Subsidiary which is the owner or lessee of the affected Real Estate Asset (and permitted to be
expended by it for such purpose pursuant to this Agreement or the Existing
Credit Agreement, as
applicable), equals at least 100% of the cost of replacement or restoration of the Real Estate
Asset in respect of which such Net Cash Proceeds were paid as determined by Trizec and the
Borrowers and as supported by such estimates or bids
-13-
from contractors or subcontractors or such
other supporting information as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request, (iii) Trizec and
the Borrowers have delivered to the Administrative Agent a certificate on or prior to the date the
application would otherwise be required pursuant to this Section 3.02(e) in the form
described in clause (x) above and also certifying Trizec and the Borrowers’ determination as
required by preceding clause (ii) and certifying the sufficiency of business interruption insurance
as required by succeeding clause (iv), and (iv) Trizec and the Borrowers have delivered to the
Administrative Agent such evidence as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent establishing that the Property Owner
which is the owner or lessee of the affected Real Estate Asset has sufficient business interruption
insurance so that it will receive payments thereunder in such amounts and at such times as are
necessary to satisfy all of its obligations and expenses (including, without limitation, all debt
service requirements), without any delay or extension thereof, for the period from the date of the respective
casualty, condemnation or other event giving rise to the Recovery Event and continuing through the
completion of the replacement or restoration of the affected Real Estate Asset, then, a mandatory
repayment of such Net Cash Proceeds shall not be required so long as the entire amount of the Net
Cash Proceeds of such Recovery Event and not just the portion in excess of $25,000,000 are
deposited with the Administrative Agent pursuant to a cash collateral arrangement reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent whereby such Net Cash Proceeds shall be disbursed from
time to time as needed to pay actual costs incurred in connection with the replacement or
restoration of the affected Real Estate Asset (pursuant to such certification requirements as may
be reasonably established by the Administrative Agent), it being understood and agreed that at any
time while an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Required Lenders may direct the
Administrative Agent (in which case the Administrative Agent shall, and is hereby authorized by
Trizec and the Borrowers to, follow said directions) to apply any or all proceeds then on deposit
with the Administrative Agent to the repayment of Obligations hereunder; and provided,
further, that if all or any portion of such Net Cash Proceeds not required to be so applied
pursuant to the preceding proviso (whether pursuant to clause (x) or (y) thereof) are not so used
by a date not later than the Maturity Date (or such earlier date, if any, as Trizec and the
Borrowers determine not to apply the Net Cash Proceeds relating to such Recovery Event to the
replacement or restoration of the affected Real Estate Assets as set forth above), the remaining
portion shall be applied on the last day of such period (or such earlier date, as the case may be)
as provided above in this Section 3.02(e) without regard to the preceding proviso.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3.02(e), in the event of
a conflict between the provisions of this Section 3.02(e) and the provisions of any
applicable Permitted Mortgage Indebtedness or Additional Property Indebtedness relating to the
payment and disposition of Net Cash Proceeds arising in connection with a Recovery Event, the
provisions of such Permitted Mortgage Indebtedness or Additional Property Indebtedness, as
applicable, shall govern and control to the extent of such conflict. For the avoidance of doubt,
to the extent Trizec or any of its Subsidiaries receives any Net Cash Proceeds in respect of a
Recovery Event which are not required to be disposed of in accordance with such Permitted Mortgage
Indebtedness or Additional Property Indebtedness, such Net Cash Proceeds shall be disposed of in
accordance with the terms of this Section 3.02(e).
(f) In addition to any other mandatory repayments pursuant to this Section 3.02, on
any date on or after the Effective Date upon which, for any reason, any Ground Lease is cancelled,
released, terminated or surrendered (other than in connection with the acquisition, on
-14-
the date of
the cancellation, release, termination or surrender of such Ground Lease, by either of the
Borrowers or any of their respective Subsidiaries of fee simple title to the Real Estate Asset
demised under such Ground Lease, free and clear of all Liens other than Permitted Encumbrances), an
amount equal to the purchase price allocated to such Ground Lease on Schedule 5.24 shall be
applied on such date as a mandatory repayment of Loans in accordance with the requirements of
Section 3.02(g).
(g) With respect to each repayment of Loans required by Sections 3.02(a), (b),
(c), (d), (e) and (f), the Borrowers may designate the Types of
Loans which are to be repaid and, in the case of Eurodollar Rate Loans, the specific Borrowing or
Borrowings pursuant to which such Loans were made, provided that: (i) repayments of
Eurodollar Rate Loans pursuant to this Section 3.02 may only be made on the last day of an
Interest Period applicable thereto unless all Eurodollar Rate Loans with Interest Periods ending on such date of required repayment and all
Base Rate Loans have been paid in full; (ii) if any repayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans constituting
a single Borrowing shall reduce the outstanding Eurodollar Rate Loans constituting such Borrowing
to an amount less than the Minimum Borrowing Amount applicable thereto, such Borrowing shall be
converted at the end of the then current Interest Period into a Borrowing of Base Rate Loans unless
such Borrowing, together with any other Loans maintained as Base Rate Loans (or portion thereof) or
Eurodollar Rate Loans converted or continued on the same date to Eurodollar Rate Loans with the
same Interest Period as the Interest Period to which such Borrowing is then being continued,
exceeds such Minimum Borrowing Amount; (iii) each repayment pursuant to this Section 3.02
in respect of the Loans made pursuant to a Borrowing shall be applied pro rata
among such Loans; and (iv) each repayment of Eurodollar Rate Loans made pursuant to this
Section 3.02 on a day which is not the last day of an Interest Period applicable thereto
shall be accompanied by the payment of all amounts owing in connection therewith pursuant to
Section 1.09.
(h) Each repayment of Loans required by Sections 3.02(a), (b), (c),
(d), (e), and (f) shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Senior
Financial Officer of the Borrowers certifying (and showing the calculations therefor in reasonable
detail) the Borrowers’ compliance with the provisions thereof.
3.03
Method and Place of Payment. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein,
all payments under this Agreement or under any Note shall be made to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Lender or Lenders entitled thereto not later than 1:00 P.M. (
New York time) on
the date when due and shall be made in Dollars in immediately available funds at the Payment
Office. The Administrative Agent will thereafter cause to be distributed on the same day (if
payment was actually received by the Administrative Agent prior to 1:00 P.M. (
New York time)) like
funds relating to the payment of principal or interest ratably to the Lenders entitled thereto.
Any payments under this Agreement or under any Note which are made later than 1:00 P.M. (
New York
time) on any day shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever
any payment to be made hereunder or under any Note shall be stated to be due on a day which is not
a Business Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and,
with respect to payments of principal, interest shall be payable at the applicable rate during such
extension.
-15-
3.04 Net Payments. (a) All payments made by the Borrowers hereunder, under any Note
or under any other Credit Document will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense.
Except as provided in Section 3.04(b), all such payments will be made free and clear of,
and without deduction or withholding for, any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, duties,
fees, assessments or other charges of whatever nature now or hereafter imposed by any jurisdiction
or by any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein with respect to such
payments (but excluding, except as provided in the second succeeding sentence, any tax imposed on
or measured by the net income or net profits or franchise taxes based on net income of a Lender
pursuant to the laws of the country in which it is organized or the country in which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or any subdivision thereof or
therein) and all interest, penalties or similar liabilities with respect thereto (all such
non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, assessments or other charges being referred to
collectively as “Taxes”). If any Taxes are so levied or imposed, the Borrowers jointly and
severally agree, subject to Section 11.17 (to the extent applicable), to pay the full
amount of such Taxes, and such additional amounts as may be necessary so that every payment of all
amounts due under this Agreement, under any Note or under any other Credit Document, after
withholding or deduction for or on account of any Taxes, will not be less than the amount provided
for herein, in such Note or in such other Credit Document. If any amounts are payable in respect
of Taxes pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Borrowers jointly and severally agree to reimburse
each Lender, within ten (10) days of the written request of such Lender, for taxes imposed on or
measured by the net income and net profits and franchise taxes imposed on net income of such Lender
pursuant to the laws of the country in which it is organized or the country in which the principal
office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located or under the laws of any political
subdivision or taxing authority of any such country in which it is organized or the country in
which the principal office or applicable lending office of such Lender is located and for any
withholding of taxes as such Lender shall determine are payable by, or withheld from, such Lender
in respect of such amounts so paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to the preceding
sentence and in respect of any amounts paid to or on behalf of such Lender pursuant to this
sentence. If the Borrowers pay any additional amount under this Section 3.04 to a Lender
and such Lender determines in its sole discretion that it has actually received or realized in
connection therewith any refund or any reduction of, or credit against, its liabilities for Taxes
in or with respect to the taxable year in which the additional amount is paid (a “Tax
Benefit”), such Lender shall pay to the Borrowers an amount that such Lender shall, in its sole
discretion, determine is equal to the net benefit, after tax, which was obtained by such Lender in
such year as a consequence of such Tax Benefit; provided, however, that (i) any
Lender may determine, in its sole discretion consistent with the policies of such Lender, whether
to seek a Tax Benefit; (ii) any Taxes that are imposed on a Lender as a result of a disallowance or
reduction (including through the expiration of any tax credit carryover or carryback of such Lender
that otherwise would not have expired) of any Tax Benefit with respect to which such Lender has
made a payment to the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 3.04(a) shall be treated as Taxes
for which the Borrowers are jointly and severally obligated to indemnify such Lender pursuant to
this Section 3.04 without any exclusions or defenses; and (iii) nothing in this Section
3.04(a) shall require any Lender to disclose any confidential information to the Borrowers
(including, without limitation, such Lender’s tax returns). The Borrowers will furnish to the
Administrative Agent within 45 days after the date the payment of any Taxes is due pursuant to
applicable law certified copies of tax receipts evidencing such payment by the Borrowers. The
Borrowers jointly and
-16-
severally agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Lender, and reimburse
such Lender within ten (10) days of its written request, for the amount of any Taxes so levied or
imposed and paid by such Lender.
(b) Each Lender that is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code) agrees to deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent on or
prior to the Effective Date, or in the case of a Lender that is an assignee or transferee of an
interest under this Agreement pursuant to Sections 1.12 or 11.04 (unless the
respective Lender was already a Lender hereunder immediately prior to such assignment or transfer),
on the date of such assignment or transfer to such Lender, (i) two accurate and complete original
signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete
exemption under an income tax treaty) (or successor forms) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement
as of such date to a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments
to be made under this Agreement and under any Note, or (ii) if such Lender is not a “bank” (within
the meaning of Section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code) and cannot deliver either Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8ECI or Form W-8BEN (with respect to a complete exemption under an income tax treaty) (or
successor forms) pursuant to clause (i) above, (x) a certificate substantially in the form of
Exhibit C (any such certificate, a “Section 3.04(b)(ii) Certificate”) and (y) two
accurate and complete original signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (with respect
to the portfolio interest exemption) (or successor form) certifying to such Lender’s entitlement to
a complete exemption from United States withholding tax with respect to payments of interest to be
made by the Borrowers under this Agreement and under any Note. In addition, each Lender agrees
that from time to time after the Effective Date, whenever a lapse in time or change in
circumstances renders the previous certification obsolete or inaccurate in any material respect, it
will deliver to the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent two new accurate and complete original
signed copies of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI, Form W-8BEN (with respect to the benefits of
any income tax treaty), or Form W-8BEN (with respect to the portfolio interest exemption) and a
Section 3.04(b)(ii) Certificate, as the case may be, and such other forms as may be required in
order to confirm or establish the entitlement of such Lender to a continued exemption from or
reduction in United States withholding tax with respect to payments by the Borrowers under this
Agreement and any Note, or it shall immediately notify the Borrowers and the Administrative Agent
of its inability to deliver any such Form or Certificate in which case such Lender shall not be
required to deliver any such Form or Certificate pursuant to this Section 3.04(b).
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 3.04(a), but subject to
Section 11.04(b) and the immediately succeeding sentence, (x) the Borrowers shall be
entitled, to the extent they are required to do so by law, to deduct or withhold income or similar
taxes imposed by the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or
therein) from interest, fees or other amounts payable hereunder for the account of any Lender which
is not a United States person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for U.S.
Federal income tax purposes to the extent that such Lender has not provided to the Borrowers U.S.
Internal Revenue Service Forms that establish a complete exemption from such deduction or
withholding and (y) the Borrowers shall not be obligated pursuant to Section 3.04(a) hereof
to gross-up payments to be made to a Lender in respect of income or similar taxes imposed by the
United States if (I) such Lender has not provided to the Borrowers the Internal Revenue Service
Forms required to be provided to the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 3.04(b) or (II) in
the case of a payment, other than interest, to a Lender described in clause (ii) above, to the
extent that such forms do not establish a complete
-17-
exemption from withholding of such taxes.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the preceding sentence or elsewhere in this
Section 3.04 and except as set forth in Section 11.04(b), the Borrowers jointly and
severally agree to pay additional amounts and to indemnify each Lender in the manner set forth in
Section 3.04(a) (without regard to the identity of the jurisdiction requiring the deduction
or withholding) in respect of any amounts deducted or withheld by it as described in the
immediately preceding sentence as a result of any changes that are effective after the Effective
Date in any applicable law, treaty, governmental rule, regulation, guideline or order, or in the
interpretation thereof, relating to the deducting or withholding of income or similar Taxes (but,
in the case of any amount withheld or deducted by the government of the United States or a political subdivision thereof, only if such Lender has provided the
Borrowers the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a Section 3.04(b)(ii)
Certificate) required to be provided pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section
3.04(b), if entitled to a reduced rate of withholding or deduction, and in such event, the
payment (whether as an additional amount or under the indemnity) shall only be for the amount in
excess of such reduced rate of withholding or deduction).

liabilities or condition (financial or otherwise) of Trizec, the Borrowers or any of their
respective Subsidiaries that has had, or could reasonably be expected to have, a Material Adverse
Effect.

transactions contemplated in this Agreement and to all Indebtedness (including the Loans and the
Guaranty) being incurred or assumed by any Credit Party, (i) the sum of the assets, at a fair
valuation, of Trizec, the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries taken as a
whole and of each of Trizec and each Borrower on a stand-alone basis will exceed their
respective debts; (ii) Trizec, the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries taken as a whole and
each of Trizec and each Borrower on a stand-alone basis have (or has) not incurred and do (does)

ability to pay such debts as such debts mature; and (iii) Trizec, the Borrowers and their

of their respective Subsidiaries of any nature whatsoever (whether absolute, accrued, contingent or
otherwise and whether or not due) which, either individually or in aggregate, could reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. As of the Effective Date, none of Trizec nor either of
the Borrowers knows of any basis for the assertion against it or any other Subsidiary of Trizec of
any liability or obligation of any nature whatsoever that is not disclosed in the financial
statements referred to in Section 5.05(a) which, either individually or in the aggregate,
could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(b) There are no final nonappealable judgments or decrees in an aggregate amount of
$25,000,000 or more entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction against any Credit Party

herein or therein is, and all other such factual information (taken as a whole) hereafter furnished
by or on behalf of any Credit Party in writing to the Administrative Agent or any Lender will be,
true and accurate in all material respects on the date as of which such information is dated or
certified and not incomplete by knowingly omitting to state any fact necessary to make such
information (taken as a whole) not misleading in any material respect at such time in light of the
circumstances under which such information was provided.

used solely to finance a portion of the purchase price for the Acquisition and to pay fees and
expenses incurred by Trizec and its Subsidiaries in connection with the Transactions.

inconsistent with the provisions of Regulation T, U or X of the Board of Governors of the Federal
Reserve System. On the Effective Date, not more than 25% of the value of either (x) the Restricted

or operations of Trizec, the Borrowers and/or any of their respective Subsidiaries. The Returns
accurately reflect all liability for taxes of each Credit Party and its Subsidiaries for the
periods covered thereby except for any such taxes that, either individually or in the aggregate,
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Each of Trizec, the Borrowers
and their respective Subsidiaries has paid all material taxes payable by it other than

Party which, either individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect.

be released from its obligations under the Subsidiaries Guaranty upon the Administrative Agent’s
receipt of written notice to such effect from Trizec and the Borrowers without any further action
on the part of any party hereto. If any Subsidiary Guarantor is prohibited from continuing to

SECTION 10. The Administrative Agent.

Administrative Agent to act as specified herein and in the other Credit Documents. Each Lender
hereby irrevocably authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be
deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Administrative Agent to take such action on their behalf under
the provisions of this Agreement, the other Credit Documents and any other instruments and
agreements referred to herein or therein and to exercise such powers and to perform such duties
hereunder and thereunder as are specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent
by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. The Administrative Agent may perform any of its duties hereunder by or through its
respective officers, directors, agents, employees or affiliates.
10.02 Nature of Duties. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and in the other Credit
Documents. Neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its officers, directors, agents, employees
or affiliates shall be liable to the Lenders for any action taken or omitted by it or them
hereunder or under any other Credit Document or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused
by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). The duties of the Administrative Agent shall
be mechanical and administrative in nature; the Administrative Agent shall not have by reason of
this Agreement or any other Credit Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender or
the holder of any Note; and nothing in this Agreement or any other Credit Document, expressed or
implied, is intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Administrative Agent any
obligations in respect of this Agreement or any other Credit Document except as expressly set forth
herein or therein.
10.03 Lack of Reliance on the Administrative Agent. Independently and without
reliance upon the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the holder of each Note, to the extent it
-83-
deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent investigation of the
financial condition and affairs of the Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries in
connection with the making and the continuance of the Loans and the taking or not taking of any
action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the Credit
Parties and their respective Subsidiaries and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent shall not have any duty or responsibility, either initially or on a continuing
basis, to provide any Lender or the holder of any Note with any credit or other information with
respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the making of the Loans or at any time
or times thereafter. The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender or the holder
of any Note for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in
any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or for the execution,
effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, perfection, collectibility, priority or
sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Credit Document or the financial condition of the Credit
Parties or any of their respective Subsidiaries or be required to make any inquiry concerning
either the performance or observance of any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this
Agreement or any other Credit Document, or the financial condition of the Credit Parties or any of
their respective Subsidiaries or the existence or possible existence of any Default or Event of
Default.
10.04 Certain Rights of the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall have
the right to request instructions from the Required Lenders at any time. If the Administrative
Agent shall request instructions from the Required Lenders with respect to any act or action
(including failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Credit Document, the
Administrative Agent shall be entitled to
refrain from such act or taking such action unless and until the Administrative Agent shall
have received instructions from the Required Lenders; and the Administrative Agent shall not incur
liability to any Person by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender or
the holder of any Note shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Administrative Agent
as a result of the Administrative Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any
other Credit Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders.
10.05 Reliance. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be
fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement, certificate,
telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order or other document or telephone
message signed, sent or made by any Person that the Administrative Agent believed to be the proper
Person, and, with respect to all legal matters pertaining to this Agreement and any other Credit
Document and its duties hereunder and thereunder, upon advice of counsel selected by the
Administrative Agent (which may be counsel for any of the Credit Parties) and, with respect to
other matters, upon advice of independent public accountants or other experts selected by it.
10.06 Indemnification. To the extent the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed and
indemnified by the Credit Parties, the Lenders will reimburse and indemnify the Administrative
Agent, in proportion to their respective “percentages” as used in determining the Required Lenders,
for and against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, claims, actions,
judgments, costs, expenses or disbursements of whatsoever kind or nature which may be imposed on,
asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its respective duties
hereunder or under any other Credit Document, in any way relating to or arising out
-84-
of this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided that no Lender shall be liable for any
portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or
willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable decision).
10.07 The Administrative Agent in its Individual Capacity. With respect to its
obligation to make Loans under this Agreement, the Administrative Agent shall have the rights and
powers specified herein for a “Lender” and may exercise the same rights and powers as though it
were not performing the duties specified herein; and the term “Lenders,” “Required Lenders,”
“holders of Notes” or any similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates,
include the Administrative Agent in its individual capacity. The Administrative Agent may accept
deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, investment banking,
advisory, trust or other business with any Credit Party or any Affiliate of a Credit Party as if it
were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from
any Credit Party for services in connection with this Agreement and otherwise without having to
account for the same to the Lenders.
10.08 Holders. The Administrative Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as
the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the assignment,
transfer or endorsement thereof, as the case may be, shall have been filed with the Administrative
Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of making such request or
giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding on any
subsequent holder, transferee, assignee or indorsee, as the case may be, of such Note or of any
Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.

Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided above.
(d) If no successor Administrative Agent has been appointed pursuant to clause (b) or (c)
above by the 20th Business Day after the date such notice of resignation was given by
the Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent’s resignation shall become

and/or under any other Credit Document until such time, if any, as the Required Lenders appoint a
successor Administrative Agent as provided above.
(e) Upon resignation of the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 10.09, the

Administrative Agent.
(f) In addition, the Required Lenders shall have the right to remove the Administrative Agent
and appoint a successor Administrative Agent who shall be a commercial bank or trust company

Credit Document without the prior written consent of all the Lenders (and any attempted such
assignment or transfer without such consent shall be null and void) and, provided further,
that, although any Lender may transfer, assign or grant participations in its rights hereunder,
such Lender shall remain a “Lender” for all purposes hereunder and the transferee, assignee or

further, that no Lender shall transfer or grant any participation under which the participant
shall have rights to approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Credit

maturity of any Loan or Note in which such participant is participating, or reduce the rate or
extend the time of payment of interest or Fees thereon (except in connection with a waiver of
applicability of any post-default increase in interest rates) or reduce the principal amount
thereof (it being understood that any amendment or modification to the financial definitions in
this Agreement or to Section 11.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate of
interest or Fees payable hereunder), or increase the amount of the participant’s participation over
the amount thereof then in effect (it being understood that a waiver of any Default or Event of
Default or of a mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment shall not constitute a change in the
terms of such participation, and that an increase in any Commitment (or the available portion
thereof) or Loan shall be permitted

without the consent of any participant if the participant’s
participation is not increased as a result thereof) or (ii) consent to the assignment or transfer
by the Borrowers if formed of any of their respective rights and obligations under this Agreement.
In the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this
Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents (the participant’s rights against such Lender in
respect of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement executed by such Lender in
favor of the participant relating thereto) and all amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall
be determined as if such Lender had not sold such participation.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender (or any Lender together with one or more other
Lenders) may assign all, or if less than all, a portion equal to at least $1,000,000 in the
aggregate for the assigning Lender or assigning Lenders (provided that, in the case of an
assignment pursuant to this clause at a time when no Specified Default or Event of Default exists,
to the extent that the assignor Lender is to retain a Commitment after giving effect to such
assignment, such Commitment shall be in an amount equal to at least $1,000,000 and Related Funds
shall be aggregated in determining compliance with such minimum assignment amount), of such
Commitment or Commitments and/or outstanding Obligations hereunder to one or more Eligible
Transferees, each of which assignees shall become a party to this Agreement as a Lender by
execution of an Assignment and Assumption Agreement, provided that (i) at such time
Schedule I shall be deemed modified to reflect the Commitments of such new Lender and of
the existing Lenders, (ii) upon the surrender of the Note or Notes by the assigning Lender (or,
upon such assigning Lender’s indemnifying the Borrowers for any lost Note pursuant to a customary
indemnification agreement) new Notes will be issued, at the Borrowers’ expense, to such new Lender
and to the assigning Lender upon the request of such new Lender or assigning Lender, such new Notes
to be in conformity with the requirements of Section 1.03 (with appropriate modifications)
to the extent needed to reflect the revised Commitments and/or outstanding Loans, (iii) the written
consent of the Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed)
shall be required in connection with any assignment to an Eligible Transferee pursuant to this
Section 11.04(b), (iv) the Administrative Agent shall receive at the time of each such
assignment, from the assigning or assignee Lender, the payment of a non-refundable assignment fee
of $3,500, and (v) promptly after such assignment, the Borrowers shall have received from the

relating thereto and, provided further, that such transfer or assignment will not be
effective until recorded by the Administrative Agent on the Register pursuant to Section
11.15. To the extent of any assignment pursuant to this Section 11.04(b), the
assigning Lender shall be relieved of its obligations hereunder with respect to its assigned
Commitments and/or outstanding Loans. At the time of each assignment pursuant to this Section
11.04(b) to a Person which is not already a Lender hereunder and which is not a United States
person (as such term is defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) for Federal income tax
purposes, the respective assignee Lender shall, to the extent legally entitled to do so, provide to
the Borrowers the appropriate Internal Revenue Service Forms (and, if applicable, a Section
3.04(b)(ii) Certificate) described in Section 3.04(b). To the extent that an assignment of
all or any portion of a Lender’s Commitments and related outstanding Obligations pursuant to
Section 1.09 or this Section 11.04(b) would, at the time of such assignment, result
in increased costs under Section 1.08 or 3.04 in excess of those being charged by
the respective assigning
-89-
Lender prior to such assignment, then the Borrowers shall not be obligated
to pay such excess increased costs (although the Borrowers, in accordance with and pursuant to the
other provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay the costs which are not in excess of
those being charged by the respective assigning Lender prior to such assignment and any subsequent
increased costs of the type described above resulting from changes after the date of the respective
assignment). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Lender (a
“Granting Lender”) may grant to a special purpose funding vehicle (“SPC”),
identified as such in writing from time to time by the Granting Lender to the Administrative Agent
and the Borrowers, the option to provide to the Borrowers all or any part of any Loan that such
Granting Lender would otherwise be obligated to make to the Borrowers pursuant to this Agreement,
provided that (i) such Granting Lender’s obligations under this Agreement (including,
without limitation, its Commitment hereunder) shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Granting Lender
shall remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of such
obligations, (iii) the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to
deal solely and directly with such Granting Lender in connection with such Granting Lender’s rights
and obligations under this Agreement, (iv) no SPC shall have any right to approve any amendment or
waiver of any provision of this Agreement or any Note, or any consent to any departure by the
Borrowers therefrom, except to the extent that such amendment, waiver or consent would reduce the
principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder, in each
case to the extent subject to such grant of funding option, or postpone any date fixed for any
payment of principal of, or interest on, the Loans or any fees or other amounts payable hereunder,
in each case to the extent subject to such grant of funding option, (v) nothing herein shall
constitute a commitment by any SPC to make any Loan and (vi) if an SPC elects not to exercise such
option or otherwise fails to provide all or any of such Loan, the Granting Lender shall be
obligated to make such Loan pursuant to the terms hereof. The making of a Loan by an SPC hereunder
shall utilize the applicable Commitment of the Granting Lender to the same extent and as if such
Loan were made by such Granting Lender. Each party hereto hereby agrees that no SPC shall be
liable for any indemnity or similar payment obligation under this Agreement (all liability for
which shall remain with the Granting Lender). In furtherance of the foregoing, each party hereto
hereby agrees (which agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement) that, prior to the
date that is one year and one day after the payment in full of all outstanding commercial paper or
other senior indebtedness of any SPC, it will not institute against, or join any other person in
instituting against, such SPC any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
liquidation proceedings under the laws of the United States or any State thereof. In addition,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 11.04(b), any SPC may
(i) with notice to, but without the prior written consent of, the Borrowers and the Administrative
Agent and without paying any processing fee therefor, assign all or a portion of its interests in
any Loans to the Granting Lender or to any financial institutions (consented to by the
Administrative Agent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed)) providing
liquidity and/or credit support to or for the account of such SPC to support the funding or
maintenance of Loans and (ii) disclose on a confidential basis consistent with the restrictions set
forth in Section 11.16 any non-public information relating to its Loans to any rating
agency, commercial paper dealer or provider of any surety, guarantee or credit or liquidity
enhancement to such SPC.
(c) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent or prohibit any Lender from pledging its Loans and
Notes hereunder to a Federal Reserve Bank in support of borrowings
-90-
made by such Lender from such
Federal Reserve Bank and, with prior notice to the Administrative Agent, any Lender which is a fund
may pledge all or any portion of its Notes or Loans to its trustee or to a collateral agent
providing credit or credit support to such Lender in support of its obligations to its trustee or
such collateral agent, as the case may be. No pledge pursuant to this clause (c) shall release the
transferor Lender from any of its obligations hereunder.
11.05 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. (a) No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender in
exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Credit Document and no course
of dealing between any Credit Party and the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall operate as a
waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder
or under any other Credit Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies
herein or in any other Credit Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any
rights, powers or remedies which the Administrative Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No
notice to or demand on any Credit Party in any case shall entitle such Credit Party to any other or
further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of
the Administrative Agent or any Lender to any other or further action in any circumstances without
notice or demand.
(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, it is
understood and agreed by the various parties to this Agreement that all Obligations to repay
principal of, interest on, and all other amounts with respect to, outstanding Loans (including,
without limitation, all fees, indemnities, taxes and other Obligations in connection therewith or
in connection with the related Commitments) shall constitute the joint and several obligations of
the Borrowers. Each Borrower acknowledges and agrees that it is receiving direct benefits as a
result of the extensions of credit to the Borrowers hereunder, and that the Lenders may proceed
against one or more of the Borrowers with respect to any Obligations hereunder for the payment in
full thereof.
(c) The Obligations of each Borrower hereunder and under the other Credit Documents are
independent of the obligations hereunder and thereunder of the other Borrower or any other
guarantor, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against either Borrower,
whether or not the other Borrower or any other guarantor is joined in any such action or actions.
Each Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of
limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by either of
the Borrowers or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of limitations as to such
Borrower shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, operate to toll the statute of limitations
as to each Borrower.
(d) With respect to the Obligations, each of the Borrowers authorizes the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and
cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time
to: (i) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the other Borrower or any guarantor
or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting; (ii) release or substitute the other Borrower,
endorsers, guarantors or other obligors; (iii) settle or compromise
-91-
any of the Obligations of the
other Borrower or any other Credit Party, any security therefor or any liability (including any of
those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and subordinate the
payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of any liability (whether due or not) of any
Borrower to its creditors other than the Lenders; (iv) apply any sums paid by the other Borrower or
any other Person, howsoever realized to any liability or liabilities of such Borrower regardless of
what liability or liabilities of such Borrower remain unpaid; and/or (v) consent to or waive any
breach of, or act, omission or default under, this Agreement or any of the instruments or agreements
referred to herein, or otherwise, by the other Borrower or any other Person.
(e) (i) To the extent that either of the Borrowers shall make a payment or payments under
this Agreement of all or any of the Obligations (with all such payments by either Borrower being
herein called “Borrower Payments”) which, taking into account all other Borrower Payments
then previously or concurrently made by the other Borrower, exceeds the amount which such Borrower
would otherwise have paid if each Borrower had paid its Loan Percentage of the aggregate
Obligations satisfied by Borrower Payments, then, following the indefeasible payment in full in
cash of all of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments, such Borrower shall entitled
to receive contribution and indemnification payments from, and be reimbursed by, the other Borrower
for the amount of such excess.
(ii) To the extent that either of the Borrowers shall make a payment or payments under this
Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents of all or any of the Obligations for the benefit of
the other Borrower, then the Borrower making such payment shall, following the indefeasible payment
in full in cash of all of the Obligations and the termination of the Commitments, be entitled to
receive contribution and indemnification from, and be reimbursed by, the other Borrower for the
amount of each such payment (it being understood that if each Borrower has made payments of the
type described above with respect to Obligations for the benefit of the other Borrower, then the
amounts so paid by each Borrower shall be netted in determining the amount of contribution and
indemnification owed by each Borrower to the other Borrower pursuant to this clause (ii)).
(iii) As used herein, the “Loan Percentage” of each Borrower shall be (a) prior to the
date that the last Acquired Asset has been conveyed to the Trizec QEAA Lessee or Trizec QEAA Party,
either pursuant to the applicable Qualified Exchange Accommodation Agreement or in satisfaction of
condition (vi) of the definition of 1031 Exchange Conditions (the “1031 Completion Date”),
22% in the case of TPRE and 78% in the case of TCH, and (b) following the 1031 Completion Date, a
percentage the numerator of which is the sum of the Purchase Price Allocation shown on Schedule
5.24 for each Acquired Property owned on the date of determination directly or indirectly by
such Borrower and the denominator of which is the aggregate Purchase Price Allocations shown on
Schedule 5.24 for the Acquired Properties owned on the date of determination directly or
indirectly by either Borrower.
(iv) All determinations of contribution rights pursuant to this Section 11.05
shall be determined by Trizec and the Borrowers in good faith. Trizec and each Borrower agree to
maintain records to enable them to determine the Loan Percentages, as well as all other facts
needed to determine the relative rights of contribution, pursuant to this Section 11.05.
-92-
(v) Each of the Borrowers hereby agrees that, to the extent any court determines that the
contribution, indemnity and reimbursement rights provided above in this Section 11.05 are
not fair and equitable to each of the Borrowers, then such court may (and is hereby authorized to)
adjust the contribution, indemnity and reimbursement rights of the Borrowers as determined by such
court to be necessary or desirable to more fairly provide for contribution, indemnification and
reimbursement rights as between the Borrowers, it being the intention of each of the Borrowers that
such adjustment shall in any event be made if, and to the extent, any such adjustment would prevent
the joint and several nature of their obligations hereunder from constituting a fraudulent transfer
or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act or any
similar Federal or state law.
(vi) This Section 11.05 is intended only to define the relative rights of the Borrowers
and nothing set forth in this Section 11.05 is intended to or shall impair the obligations
of the Borrowers, jointly and severally, to pay any amounts as and when the same shall become due
and payable in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.
(vii) The rights of the parties under this Section 11.05 (and any rights of subrogation
a Borrower may have with respect to the other Borrower as a result of any payments made by it
hereunder or under any other Credit Document) shall be exercisable only upon the full and
indefeasible payment of the Obligations in cash and the termination of this Agreement and the other
Credit Documents.
(viii) The parties hereto acknowledge that the rights of contribution, indemnification and
reimbursement hereunder shall constitute assets of the Borrower to which such contribution,
indemnification and reimbursement is owing.
(f) Each Borrower waives any right to require the Administrative Agent or the Lenders to (i)
proceed against the other Borrower, any guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or
exhaust any security held from the other Borrower, any guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue
any other remedy in the Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ power whatsoever. Each Borrower
waives any defense based on or arising out of any defense of the other Borrower, any guarantor or
any other party other than payment in full in cash of the respective Obligations, including,
without limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of the other Borrower,
any guarantor or any other party, or the unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof
from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of the other Borrower, in each
case other than as a result of the payment in full in cash of the respective Obligations. The
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may, at their election, foreclose on any security held by the
Administrative Agent or the Lenders by one or more judicial or non-judicial sales (to the extent
such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders may have against either of the Borrowers or any other Person,
or any security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of either of the Borrowers
hereunder except to the extent the respective Obligations have been paid in full in cash. Each
Borrower waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any defense arising out of any such
election by the Administrative Agent and the Lenders even though such election operates to impair
or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation
-93-
or other right or remedy of such Borrower against the other Borrower or any other guarantor or
party or any security.
(g) Each Borrower hereby confirms that it is its intention that this Agreement not constitute
(and the joint and several nature of the Obligations among the Borrowers not create) a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance for purposes of any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, the Uniform
Fraudulent Conveyance Act or any similar Federal, state or foreign law. To effectuate the
foregoing intention, each Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that the Obligations owing by each
Borrower shall be limited to the maximum amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount
and all other (contingent or otherwise) liabilities of such Borrower that are relevant under such
laws, result in the Obligations of such Borrower in respect of such maximum amount not constituting
a fraudulent transfer or conveyance; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, it is
the intent of the parties hereto that in no event shall the Obligations of Trizec be limited
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 11.05 as Trizec is the indirect parent of each
of the Borrowers and, accordingly, is obtaining direct benefits from all extensions of credit to
the Borrowers. Any limitation on the Obligations of either of the Borrowers resulting from the
application of the provisions of this Section 11.05 shall have no effect on the Obligations
of the other Borrower or the Obligations of any other Credit Party, which (in each case) shall be
determined as if there were no such limitation, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.
11.06 Payments Pro Rata. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the
Administrative Agent agrees that promptly after its receipt of each payment from or on behalf of
the Borrowers in respect of any Obligations hereunder, it shall distribute such payment to the
Lenders (other than any Lender that has consented in writing to waive its pro rata
share of any such payment) pro rata based upon their respective shares, if any, of
the Obligations with respect to which such payment was received.
(b) Each of the Lenders agrees that, if it should receive any amount hereunder (whether by
voluntary payment, by realization upon security, by the exercise of the right of setoff or banker’s
lien, by counterclaim or cross action, by the enforcement of any right under the Credit Documents,
or otherwise, except as a result of Sections 1.12 or 11.04), which is applicable to
the payment of the principal of, or interest on, the Loans or Fees, of a sum which with respect to
the related sum or sums received by other Lenders is in a greater proportion than the total of such
Obligation then owed and due to such Lender bears to the total of such Obligation then owed and due
to all of the Lenders immediately prior to such receipt, then such Lender receiving such excess
payment shall purchase for cash without recourse or warranty from the other Lenders an interest in
the Obligations of the Borrowers to such Lenders in such amount as shall result in a proportional
participation by all the Lenders in such amount; provided that if all or any portion of
such excess amount is thereafter recovered from such Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded and
the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, but without interest.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the provisions of the preceding
Sections 11.06(a) and (b) shall be subject to the express provisions of this
Agreement which require, or permit, differing payments to be made to Non-Defaulting Lenders as
opposed to Defaulting Lenders.
-94-
11.07 Calculations; Computations. (a) The financial statements to be furnished to
the Lenders pursuant hereto shall be made and prepared in accordance with GAAP, consistently
applied throughout the periods involved (except as set forth in the notes thereto or as otherwise
disclosed in writing by the Borrowers to the Lenders and except, in the case of interim financial
statements, for normal year-end adjustments); provided that except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, all computations determining the Borrowers’ compliance with
Section 7 and the definition of Applicable Margin and all other defined financial terms
relating to the Borrowers shall utilize accounting principles and policies in the United States in
conformity with those used to prepare the historical financial statements described in Section
5.05(a); and provided further, that the financial covenants set forth in Sections
6.11 and 7.10-7.13 shall assume that Trizec owns 100% of the Equity Interests
in the Borrowers.
(b) All computations of interest and Fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year of
360 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last day)
occurring in the period for which such interest or Fees are payable; provided that all
computations of interest on Base Rate Loans determined by reference to the Prime Lending Rate shall
be based on the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 days (or 366 days, as the case
maybe).

11.09 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and
by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so executed and
delivered shall be an original, but all of which shall together constitute one and the same
instrument. A set of counterparts executed by all the parties hereto shall be lodged with the
Borrowers and the Administrative Agent.
11.10 Effectiveness. This Agreement shall become effective on the date (the
“Effective Date”) on which (i) the Borrowers, Trizec, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders shall have signed a counterpart hereof (whether the same or different counterparts) and
shall have delivered the same to the Administrative Agent at the Notice Office or, in the case of
the Lenders, shall have given to the Administrative Agent telephonic (confirmed in writing),
written or telex notice (actually received) at such office that the same has been signed and mailed
to it and (ii) the conditions contained in Section 4 are met to the satisfaction of the
Administrative Agent and, unless otherwise specified therein, the Lenders. Unless the
Administrative Agent has received actual notice from any Lender that the conditions described in
clause (ii) of the preceding sentence have not been met to its satisfaction, upon the satisfaction
of the condition described in clause (i) of the immediately preceding sentence and upon the
Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that the conditions described in clause (ii) of the
immediately preceding sentence have been met, then the Effective Date shall have been deemed to
have occurred, regardless of any subsequent determination that one or more of the conditions
thereto had not been met (although the occurrence of the Effective Date shall not release the
Borrowers from any liability for failure to satisfy one or more of the applicable conditions
contained in
-96-
Section 4). The Administrative Agent shall give the Borrowers and each Lender prompt
written notice of the occurrence of the Effective Date.
11.11 Headings Descriptive. The headings of the several sections and subsections of
this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or
construction of any provision of this Agreement.
11.12 Amendment or Waiver; etc. (a) Neither this Agreement nor any other Credit
Document nor any terms hereof or thereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated unless
such change, waiver, discharge or termination is in writing signed by the Borrowers and the
Required Lenders, provided that no such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall,
without the consent of each Lender (other than a Defaulting Lender) (with Obligations being
directly modified in the case of the following clause (i)), (i) extend the final scheduled maturity
of any Loan or Note beyond the Maturity Date, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of
interest thereon or Fees (except in connection with the waiver of applicability of any post-default
increase in interest rates), or reduce the principal amount thereof (it being understood that any
amendment or modification to the financial definitions in this Agreement or to Section
11.07(a) shall not constitute a reduction in the rate or interest or Fees for the purposes of
this clause (i)), (ii) release Trizec, Holdings, THOPI or all or substantially all of the
Subsidiary Guarantors from their respective obligations under the Guaranty or the Pledge Agreement
to which it is (or they are) a party or release all or substantially all of the collateral pledged
under the Pledge Agreement (except, in each case, as expressly permitted by the Credit Documents),
(iii) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Section 11.12 (except for technical
amendments with respect to additional extensions of credit pursuant to this Agreement which afford
the protections to such additional extensions of credit of the type provided to the Commitments on
the Effective Date), (iv) amend the definition of Required Lenders or (v) consent to the assignment
or transfer by the Borrowers or Trizec or any other Credit Party of any of its rights and
obligations under this Agreement or any other Credit Document; provided further, that no
such change, waiver, discharge or termination shall (1) increase the Commitment of any Lender over
the amount thereof then in effect without the consent of such Lender (it being understood that
waivers or modifications of conditions precedent, covenants, Defaults or Events of Default or of a
mandatory reduction in the Total Commitment shall not constitute an increase of the Commitment of
any Lender, (2) without the consent of the Administrative Agent, amend, modify or waive any
provision of Section 11 or any other provision as same relates to the rights or obligations
of the Administrative Agent.
(b) If, in connection with any proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination to any of the
provisions of this Agreement as contemplated by clauses (i) through (v), inclusive, of the first
proviso to Section 11.12(a), the consent of the Required Lenders is obtained but the
consent of one or more of such other Lenders whose consent is required is not obtained, then the
Borrowers shall have the right, so long as all non-consenting Lenders whose individual consent is
required are treated as described in either clause (A) or (B) below, to either (A) replace each
such non-consenting Lender or Lenders with one or more Replacement Lenders pursuant to Section
1.12 so long as at the time of such replacement, each such Replacement Lender consents to the
proposed change, waiver, discharge or termination or (B) terminate such non-consenting Lender’s
Commitments and/or repay all outstanding Loans of such Lender in accordance with Section
3.01(b), provided that, unless the Commitments that are terminated, and
-97-
Loans repaid, pursuant to preceding clause (B) are immediately replaced in full at such time
through the addition of new Lenders or the increase of the Commitments and/or outstanding Loans of
existing Lenders (who in each case must specifically consent thereto), then in the case of any
action pursuant to preceding clause (B) the Required Lenders (determined after giving effect to the
proposed action) shall specifically consent thereto; provided further, that in any event
the Borrowers shall not have the right to replace a Lender or repay its Loans solely as a result of
the exercise of such Lender’s rights (and the withholding of any required consent by such Lender)
pursuant to the second proviso to Section 11.12(a).
11.13 Survival. All indemnities set forth herein including, without limitation, in
Sections 1.08, 1.09, 3.04, 10.06 and 11.01 shall survive
the execution, delivery and termination of this Agreement and the Notes and the making and
repayment of the Obligations.
11.14 Domicile of Loans. Each Lender may transfer and carry its Loans at, to or for
the account of any office, Subsidiary or Affiliate of such Lender. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, to the extent that a transfer of Loans pursuant to this Section
11.14 would, at the time of such transfer, result in increased costs under Sections
1.08, 1.09, or 3.04 in excess of those being charged by the respective Lender
prior to such transfer, then the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay such excess increased
costs (although the Borrowers, jointly and severally, in accordance with and pursuant to the other
provisions of this Agreement, shall be obligated to pay the costs which would apply in the absence
of such designation and any subsequent increased costs of the type described above resulting from
changes after the date of the respective transfer).
11.15 Register. The Borrowers hereby designate the Administrative Agent to serve as
the Borrowers’ agent, solely for purposes of this Section 11.15, to maintain a register
(the “Register”) on which it will record the Loans made by each of the Lenders and each
repayment in respect of the principal amount of the Loans of each Lender. Failure to make any such
recordation, or any error in such recordation shall not affect the Borrowers’ obligations in
respect of such Loans. With respect to any Lender, the transfer of the Commitment of such Lender
and the rights to the principal of, and interest on, any Loan made pursuant to this Agreement shall
not be effective until such transfer is recorded on the Register maintained by the Administrative
Agent with respect to ownership of such Commitment and Loans and prior to such recordation all
amounts owing to the transferor with respect to such Loans shall remain owing to the transferor.
The registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of any Loans shall be recorded by the
Administrative Agent on the Register only upon the acceptance by the Administrative Agent of a
properly executed and delivered Assignment and Assumption Agreement pursuant to Section
11.04(b). Coincident with the delivery of such an Assignment and Assumption Agreement to the
Administrative Agent for acceptance and registration of assignment or transfer of all or part of a
Commitment and any related Loan, or as soon thereafter as practicable, the assigning or transferor
Lender shall surrender the Note evidencing such Loan, and thereupon one or more new Notes in the
same aggregate principal amount shall be issued to the assigning or transferor Lender and/or the
new Lender at the request of such Lender. Each Borrower agrees to indemnify the Administrative
Agent from and against any and all losses, claims, damages and liabilities of whatsoever nature
which may be imposed on, asserted against or incurred by the Administrative Agent in performing its
duties under this Section 11.15, provided that each Borrower shall have no obligation to
indemnify the Administrative Agent for
-98-
any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense to the extent that same resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrative Agent (as determined by a court of competent
jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision).
11.16 Confidentiality. Each Lender agrees that it will (x) use its reasonable efforts
not to disclose without the prior consent of the Borrowers (other than to its affiliates and to its
or its affiliates’ respective employees, officers, auditors, examiners, advisors or counsel or to
another Lender if the Lender or such Lender’s holding or parent company in its reasonable good
faith discretion determines that any such party should have access to such information, provided
such Persons shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 11.16 to the same extent as
such Lender) any non-public information with respect to any of the Credit Parties or any of their
respective Subsidiaries which is now or in the future furnished pursuant to this Agreement or any
other Credit Document by the Borrowers or Trizec and (y) use any such non-public information (A)
for purposes relating to this Agreement, the other Credit Documents or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby (including, without limitation, in connection with (i) the
evaluation, administration, monitoring or enforcement of any of the Credit Documents or the
Obligations or (ii) satisfying or cooperating in any Person’s regulatory or other compliance
requirements) or (B) in connection with other services at the request or for the benefit of Trizec,
the Borrowers and their respective Subsidiaries, provided that any Lender may disclose any
such information (a) as has become generally available to the public, (b) as may be required or
appropriate in any report, statement or testimony submitted to any municipal, state or Federal
regulatory body having or claiming to have jurisdiction over such Lender or any of its affiliates
or to the Federal Reserve Board or the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or similar
organizations (whether in the United States or elsewhere) or their successors, (c) as may be
required or appropriate in respect of any summons or subpoena or in connection with any litigation,
(d) in order to comply with any law, order, regulation or ruling applicable to such Lender or any
of its affiliates, (e) to the Administrative Agent or any other Lender and (f) to any pledgee
referred to in Section 11.04(c) or any prospective or actual transferee or participant in
connection with any contemplated transfer or participation of any of the Notes or Commitments or
any interest therein by such Lender, provided that such pledgee or prospective transferee shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section 11.16.
11.17 Limitation on Additional Amounts, etc. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in Section 1.08, 1.09 or 3.04, unless a Lender gives notice to
the Borrowers that it is obligated to pay an amount under the respective Section within 180 days
after the later of (x) the date the Lender incurs the respective increased costs, loss, expense or
liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on capital or (y) the
date such Lender has actual knowledge of its incurrence of the respective increased costs, loss,
expense or liability, reductions in amounts received or receivable or reduction in return on
capital, then such Lender shall only be entitled to be compensated for such amount by the Borrowers
pursuant to said Sections 1.08, 1.09 or 3.04, as the case may be, to the
extent the costs, loss, expense or liability, reduction in amounts received or receivable or
reduction in return on capital are incurred or suffered on or after the date which occurs 180 days
prior to such Lender giving notice to the Borrowers that it is obligated to pay the respective
amounts pursuant to said Sections 1.08, 1.09, or 3.04, as the case may be;
provided, however, that if the circumstances giving rise to such claims have a
retroactive effect, such 180-day period shall be extended to
-99-
include the period of such retroactive effect. This Section 11.17 shall have no
applicability to any Section of this Agreement other than said Sections 1.08, 1.09
or 3.04.
11.18 No Third Party Beneficiary. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is
intended to confer upon any party other than the parties hereto or their respective permitted
successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this
Agreement, except as expressly provided in this Agreement.
11.19 Waiver of Sovereign Immunity. To the extent that any Credit Party has or
hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any court or from any legal process
(whether through service or notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution,
or otherwise) with respect to itself or its property, such Credit Party hereby irrevocably waives
such immunity in respect of its obligations hereunder to the extent permitted by applicable law
and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, agrees that the waivers set forth in this
Section 11.19 shall have the fullest extent permitted under the Foreign Sovereign
Immunities Act of 1976 of the United States and are intended to be irrevocable for purposes of such
Act.
11.20 Judgment Currency. (a) The Credit Parties’ obligations hereunder and under the
other Credit Documents to make payments in Dollars (the “Obligation Currency”) shall not be
discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment expressed in or
converted into any currency other than the Obligation Currency, except to the extent that such
tender or recovery results in the effective receipt by the Administrative Agent or the respective
Lender of the full amount of the Obligation Currency expressed to be payable to the Administrative
Agent or such Lender under this Agreement or the other Credit Documents. If for the purpose of
obtaining or enforcing judgment against any Credit Party in any court or in any jurisdiction, it
becomes necessary to convert into or from any currency other than the Obligation Currency (such
other currency being hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency”) an amount due in
the Obligation Currency, the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange (as quoted by the
Administrative Agent in good faith or if the Administrative Agent does not quote a rate of exchange
on such currency, by a known dealer in such currency designated by the Administrative Agent)
determined, in each case, as of the day on which the judgment is given (such Business Day being
hereinafter referred to as the “Judgment Currency Conversion Date”).
(b) If there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between the Judgment Currency
Conversion Date and the date of actual payment of the amount due, each Borrower jointly and
severally covenants and agrees to pay, or cause to be paid, such additional amounts, if any (but in
any event not a lesser amount), as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid in the Judgment
Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce
the amount of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of Judgment
Currency stipulated in the judgment or judicial award at the rate of exchange prevailing on the
Judgment Currency Conversion Date.
(c) For purposes of determining any rate of exchange for this Section 11.20, such
amounts shall include any premium and costs payable in connection with the purchase of the
Obligation Currency.
-100-
11.21 Maximum Rate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained elsewhere in
this Agreement or in any other Credit Document, the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders hereby agree that all agreements among them under this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents, whether now existing or hereafter arising and whether written or oral, are expressly
limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever shall the amount paid, or agreed to be paid,
to the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the money
loaned to the Borrowers and evidenced hereby or thereby or for the performance or payment of any
covenant or obligation contained herein or therein, exceed the Highest Lawful Rate. If due to any
circumstance whatsoever, fulfillment of any provisions of this Agreement or any of the other Credit
Documents at the time performance of such provision shall be due shall exceed the Highest Lawful
Rate, then, automatically, the obligation to be fulfilled shall be modified or reduced to the
extent necessary to limit such interest to the Highest Lawful Rate, and if from any such
circumstance any Lender should ever receive anything of value deemed interest by applicable law
which would exceed the Highest Lawful Rate, such excessive interest shall be applied to the
reduction of the principal amount then outstanding hereunder or on account of any other then
outstanding Obligations and not to the payment of interest, or if such excessive interest exceeds
the principal unpaid balance then outstanding hereunder and such other then outstanding
Obligations, such excess shall be refunded to the Borrowers. All sums paid or agreed to be paid to
the Administrative Agent or any Lender for the use, forbearance, or detention of the Obligations
and other Indebtedness of the Borrowers to the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, be amortized, prorated, allocated and spread throughout the
full term of such Indebtedness until payment in full so that the actual rate of interest on account
of all such Indebtedness does not exceed the Highest Lawful Rate throughout the entire term of such
Indebtedness. The terms and provisions of this Section 11.21 shall control every other
provision of this Agreement and all agreements among the Borrowers, the Administrative Agent and
the Lenders.
11.22 USA Patriot Act. Each Lender hereby notifies the Borrowers that pursuant to the
requirements of the USA Patriot Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into law October 26,
2001)) (the “Act”), it may be required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies the Borrowers and the other Credit Parties and their respective Subsidiaries, which
information includes the name and address of such Persons and other information that will allow
such Lender to identify such Persons in accordance with the Act, and the Borrowers and Trizec agree
to provide such information from time to time to any Lender.
SECTION 12. Trizec Guaranty.
12.01 Guaranty. In order to induce the Administrative Agent and the Lenders to enter
into this Agreement and to extend credit hereunder, and in recognition of the direct benefits to be
received by Trizec from the proceeds of the Loans, Trizec hereby agrees with the Guaranteed
Creditors as follows: Trizec hereby unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees as primary obligor
and not merely as surety the full and prompt payment when due, whether upon maturity, acceleration
or otherwise, of any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors. If any or
all of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors becomes due and payable hereunder,
Trizec, unconditionally and irrevocably, promises to pay such indebtedness to the Administrative
Agent and/or the other Guaranteed Creditors, or order, on demand, together with any and all
expenses which may be incurred by the Administrative
-101-
Agent and the other Guaranteed Creditors in collecting any of the Guaranteed Obligations. If
claim is ever made upon any Guaranteed Creditor for repayment or recovery of any amount or amounts
received in payment or on account of any of the Guaranteed Obligations and any of the aforesaid
payees repays all or part of said amount by reason of (i) any judgment, decree or order of any
court or administrative body having jurisdiction over such payee or any of its property or (ii) any
settlement or compromise of any such claim effected by such payee with any such claimant (including
the Borrowers), then and in such event Trizec agrees that any such judgment, decree, order,
settlement or compromise shall be binding upon Trizec, notwithstanding any revocation of this
Trizec Guaranty or other instrument evidencing any liability of the Borrowers, and Trizec shall be
and remain liable to the aforesaid payees hereunder for the amount so repaid or recovered to the
same extent as if such amount had never originally been received by any such payee.
12.02 Bankruptcy. Additionally, Trizec unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees the
payment of any and all of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors whether or not due
or payable by the Borrowers upon the occurrence of any of the events specified in Section
8.05, and irrevocably and unconditionally promises to pay such indebtedness to the Guaranteed
Creditors, or order, on demand, in lawful money of the United States.
12.03 Nature of Liability. The liability of Trizec hereunder is primary, absolute and
unconditional, exclusive and independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Guaranteed
Obligations, whether executed by any other guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of
Trizec hereunder shall not be affected or impaired by (a) any direction as to application of
payment by the Borrowers or by any other party, or (b) any other continuing or other guaranty,
undertaking or maximum liability of a guarantor or of any other party as to the Guaranteed
Obligations, or (c) any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or undertaking, or
(d) any dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel by the Borrowers, or
(e) any payment made to any Guaranteed Creditor on the Guaranteed Obligations which any such
Guaranteed Creditor repays to the Borrowers pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and Trizec waives any
right to the deferral or modification of its obligations hereunder by reason of any such
proceeding, or (f) any action or inaction by the Guaranteed Creditors as contemplated in
Section 12.05, or (g) any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of all or any part
of the Guaranteed Obligations or of any security therefor.
12.04 Independent Obligation. The obligations of Trizec hereunder are independent of
the obligations of any other guarantor, any other party or the Borrowers, and a separate action or
actions may be brought and prosecuted against Trizec whether or not action is brought against any
other guarantor, any other party or the Borrowers and whether or not any other guarantor, any other
party or the Borrowers be joined in any such action or actions. Trizec waives, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of limitations affecting its liability
hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any payment by the Borrowers or other circumstance which
operates to toll any statute of limitations as to the Borrowers shall operate to toll the statute
of limitations as to Trizec.
-102-
12.05 Authorization. Trizec authorizes the Guaranteed Creditors without notice or
demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and without
affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to:
(i) change the manner, place or terms of payment of, and/or change or extend the time
of payment of, renew, increase, accelerate or alter, any of the Guaranteed Obligations
(including any increase or decrease in the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest
or fees thereon), any security therefor, or any liability incurred directly or indirectly in
respect thereof, and this Trizec Guaranty shall apply to the Guaranteed Obligations as so
changed, extended, renewed or altered;
(ii) take and hold security for the payment of the Guaranteed Obligations and sell,
exchange, release, impair, surrender, realize upon or otherwise deal with in any manner and
in any order any property by whomsoever at any time pledged or mortgaged to secure, or
howsoever securing, the Guaranteed Obligations or any liabilities (including any of those
hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect thereof or hereof, and/or any offset
thereagainst;
(iii) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights against the Borrowers, any other
Credit Party or others or otherwise act or refrain from acting;
(iv) release or substitute any of the Borrowers or other Credit Parties or one or more
endorsers, guarantors or other obligors;
(v) settle or compromise any of the Guaranteed Obligations, any security therefor or
any liability (including any of those hereunder) incurred directly or indirectly in respect
thereof or hereof, and subordinate the payment of all or any part thereof to the payment of
any liability (whether due or not) of the Borrowers to its creditors other than the
Guaranteed Creditors;
(vi) apply any sums by whomsoever paid or howsoever realized to any liability or
liabilities of the Borrowers to the Guaranteed Creditors regardless of what liability or
liabilities of the Borrowers remain unpaid;
(vii) consent to or waive any breach of, or any act, omission or default under, this
Agreement, any other Credit Document, or any of the instruments or agreements referred to
herein or therein, or otherwise amend, modify or supplement this Agreement, any other Credit
Document or any of such other instruments or agreements; and/or
(viii) take any other action which would, under otherwise applicable principles of
common law, give rise to a legal or equitable discharge of Trizec from its liabilities under
this Trizec Guaranty.
12.06 Reliance. It is not necessary for any Guaranteed Creditor to inquire into the
capacity or powers of Trizec or any of its Subsidiaries or the officers, directors, partners or
agents acting or purporting to act on their behalf, and any Guaranteed Obligations made or created
in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.
-103-
12.07 Subordination. Any indebtedness of any Borrowers now or hereafter owing to
Trizec is hereby subordinated to the Guaranteed Obligations owing to the Guaranteed Creditors; and
if the Administrative Agent so requests at a time when an Event of Default exists, all such
indebtedness of the Borrowers to Trizec shall be collected, enforced and received by Trizec for the
benefit of the Guaranteed Creditors and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Guaranteed Creditors on account of the Guaranteed Obligations to the Guaranteed Creditors, but
without affecting or impairing in any manner the liability of Trizec under the other provisions of
this Trizec Guaranty. Prior to the transfer by Trizec of any note or negotiable instrument
evidencing any such indebtedness of any Borrower to Trizec, Trizec shall xxxx such note or
negotiable instrument with a legend that the same is subject to this subordination. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, Trizec hereby agrees with the Guaranteed Creditors that
it will not exercise any right of subrogation which it may at any time otherwise have as a result
of this Trizec Guaranty (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the Bankruptcy Code or
otherwise) until all Guaranteed Obligations have been irrevocably paid in full in cash.
12.08 Waiver. (a) Trizec waives any right (except as shall be required by applicable
statute and cannot be waived) to require any Guaranteed Creditor to (i) proceed against the
Borrowers, any other guarantor or any other party, (ii) proceed against or exhaust any security
held from the Borrowers, any other guarantor or any other party or (iii) pursue any other remedy in
any Guaranteed Creditor’s power whatsoever. Trizec waives any defense based on or arising out of
any defense of the Borrowers, any other guarantor or any other party, other than payment of the
Guaranteed Obligations to the extent of such payment, based on or arising out of the disability of
the Borrowers, Trizec, any other guarantor or any other party, or the invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability of the Guaranteed Obligations or any part thereof from any cause, or the cessation
from any cause of the liability of the Borrowers other than payment of the Guaranteed Obligations
to the extent of such payment. The Guaranteed Creditors may, at their election, foreclose on any
security held by the Administrative Agent or any other Guaranteed Creditor by one or more judicial
or nonjudicial sales, whether or not every aspect of any such sale is commercially reasonable (to
the extent such sale is permitted by applicable law), or exercise any other right or remedy the
Guaranteed Creditors may have against the Borrowers or any other party, or any security, without
affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Trizec hereunder except to the extent the
Guaranteed Obligations have been paid. Trizec waives any defense arising out of any such election
by the Guaranteed Creditors, even though such election operates to impair or extinguish any right
of reimbursement or subrogation or other right or remedy of Trizec against the Borrowers or any
other party or any security.
(b) Trizec waives all presentments, demands for performance, protests and notices, including
without limitation notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of
acceptance of this Trizec Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring of new or
additional Guaranteed Obligations. Trizec assumes all responsibility for being and keeping itself
informed of the Borrowers’ financial condition and assets, and of all other circumstances bearing
upon the risk of nonpayment of the Guaranteed Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the
risks which Trizec assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither the Administrative Agent
nor any of the other Guaranteed Creditors shall have any duty to advise Trizec of information known
to them regarding such circumstances or risks.
-104-
12.09 Payments. All payments made by Trizec pursuant to this Section 12 shall
be made in Dollars and will be made without setoff, counterclaim or other defense, and shall be
subject to the provisions of Sections 3.03 and 3.04.
12.10 Maximum Liability. It is the desire and intent of Trizec and the Guaranteed
Creditors that this Trizec Guaranty shall be enforced against Trizec to the fullest extent
permissible under the laws and public policies applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is
sought. If, however, and to the extent that, the obligations of Trizec under this Trizec Guaranty
shall be adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason (including, without limitation,
because of any applicable state or federal law relating to fraudulent conveyances or transfers),
then the amount of Trizec’s obligations under this Trizec Guaranty shall be deemed to be reduced
and Trizec shall pay the maximum amount of the Guaranteed Obligations which would be permissible
under applicable law.

or under the laws of any relevant State other than the State of New York), such Pledgor
shall take all actions as may be requested from time to time by the Pledgee so that

(b) each Pledgor authorizes the Pledgee from time to time to cause appropriate
financing statements (on appropriate forms) under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect
in the various relevant States, covering all Collateral hereunder (with the form of such
financing statements to be satisfactory to the Pledgee), to be filed in the relevant filing
offices so that at all times the Pledgee’s security interest hereunder in all Collateral
which can be perfected by the filing of such financing statements (in each case to the
maximum extent perfection by filing may be obtained under the laws of the relevant States,
including, without limitation, Section 9-312(a) of the UCC) is so perfected.
3.03 Subsequently Acquired Collateral. If any Pledgor shall acquire (by purchase,

time after the date hereof, such Collateral shall automatically (and without any further action
being required to be taken) be subject to the pledge and security interests created pursuant to

provided that, in each case, no vote shall be cast or any consent, waiver or ratification
given or any action taken or omitted to be taken which would violate, result in a breach of any
covenant contained in, or be inconsistent with any of the terms of any Secured Debt Agreement, or
which could reasonably be expected to have the effect of materially impairing the value of the
Collateral or any part thereof or the position or interests of the Pledgee or any other Secured
Creditor in the Collateral, unless expressly permitted by the terms of the Secured Debt Agreements.
All such rights of each Pledgor to vote, exercise the rights set forth in Sections

payments which are received by any Pledgor contrary to the provisions of this Section 6 or

the Secured Creditors), shall be segregated from other property or funds of such Pledgor and shall
be forthwith paid over to the Pledgee as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any
necessary endorsement).

SECTION
7. REMEDIES IN CASE OF AN EVENT OF DEFAULT OR A SPECIFIED
DEFAULT. (a) If
there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, then and in every such case, the

of its rights in respect of the Collateral, and the Pledgee shall be entitled to exercise all the
rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC as in effect in any relevant jurisdiction and

hereby agrees to be commercially reasonable:
(a) to receive all amounts payable in respect of the Collateral otherwise payable under
Section 6 hereof to the respective Pledgor;
(b) to transfer all or any part of the Collateral into the Pledgee’s name or the name
of its nominee or nominees in accordance with any applicable provisions of the UCC;
(c) to vote (and exercise all rights and powers in respect of voting) all or any part
of the Collateral (whether or not transferred into the name of the Pledgee) and give all
consents, waivers and ratifications in respect of the Collateral and otherwise act with
respect thereto as though it were the outright owner thereof (each Pledgor hereby
irrevocably constituting and appointing the Pledgee the proxy and attorney-in-fact of such
Pledgor, with full power of substitution to do so);
(d) at any time and from time to time to sell, assign and deliver, or grant options to
purchase, all or any part of the Collateral, or any interest therein, at any public or
private sale, without demand of performance, advertisement or notice of intention to sell or
of the time or place of sale or adjournment thereof or to redeem or otherwise purchase or
dispose of (all of which are hereby waived by each Pledgor), for cash, on credit or for
other property, for immediate or future delivery without any assumption of credit risk, and
for such price or prices and on such terms as the Pledgee in its absolute discretion may
determine, provided at least 10 days’ written notice of the time and place of any
such sale shall be given to the respective Pledgor. The Pledgee shall not be obligated to
make any such sale of Collateral regardless of whether any such notice of sale has
theretofore been given. Each Pledgor hereby waives and releases to the fullest extent
permitted by law any right or equity of redemption with respect to the Collateral, whether
before or after sale hereunder, and all rights, if any, of marshalling the Collateral and
any other security or the Obligations or otherwise. At any such sale, unless prohibited by
applicable law, the Pledgee on behalf of the Secured Creditors may bid for and purchase all
or any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption.
Neither the Pledgee nor any other Secured Creditor shall be liable for failure to collect or
realize upon any or all of the Collateral or for any delay in so doing nor shall any of them
be under any obligation to take any action whatsoever with regard thereto; and
(e) to set off any and all Collateral against any and all Obligations and to apply such
Collateral to the payment of any and all Obligations.

rights and powers in respect of voting) all or any part of the Collateral (whether or not
transferred into the name of the Pledgee) and give all consents, waivers and ratifications in
respect of the Collateral and otherwise act with respect thereto as though it were the outright
owner thereof (each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constituting and appointing the Pledgee the proxy
and attorney-in-fact of such Pledgor, with full power of substitution to do so).
SECTION
8. REMEDIES, CUMULATIVE, ETC. Each and every right, power and remedy of the
Pledgee provided for in this Agreement or in any other Secured Debt Agreement, or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or by statute shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in
addition to every other such right, power or remedy. The exercise or beginning of the exercise by
the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies
provided for in this Agreement or any other Secured Debt Agreement or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise
by the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no
failure or delay on the part of the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor to exercise any such
right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof. No notice to or demand on any Pledgor in
any case shall entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
circumstances or constitute a waiver of any of the rights of the Pledgee or any other Secured
Creditor to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. The Secured
Creditors agree that this Agreement may be enforced only by the action of the Pledgee, in each
case, acting upon the instructions of the Required Lenders, and that no other Secured Creditor
shall have any right individually to seek to enforce or to enforce this Agreement or to realize
upon the security to be granted hereby, it being understood and agreed that such rights and
remedies may be exercised by the Pledgee for the benefit of the Secured Creditors upon the terms of
this Agreement and the other Secured Debt Agreements.

the then outstanding amount of all Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may
be, (y) “Primary Obligations” shall mean, in the case of the Credit Document Obligations,
all principal of, premium, fees and interest on, all Loans and all Fees and (z) “Secondary

When payments to Secured Creditors are based upon their respective Pro
Rata Shares, the amounts received by such Secured Creditors hereunder shall be applied (for
purposes of making determinations under this Section 9 only) (i) first, to their
Primary Obligations and (ii) second, to their Secondary Obligations. If any payment to
any Secured Creditor of its Pro Rata Share of any distribution would result in
overpayment to such Secured Creditor, such excess amount shall instead be distributed in respect of
the unpaid Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, of the other Secured
Creditors, with each Secured Creditor whose Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the
case may be, have not been paid in full to receive an amount equal to such excess amount multiplied
by a fraction the numerator of which is the unpaid Primary Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as
the case may be, of such Secured Creditor and the denominator of which is the unpaid Primary
Obligations or Secondary Obligations, as the case may be, of all Secured Creditors entitled to
such distribution.
(d)
All payments required to be made hereunder to the Secured Creditors shall be made to the
Administrative Agent for the account of the Secured Creditors.
(e)
For purposes of applying payments received in accordance with this Section 9, the
Pledgee shall be entitled to rely upon the Administrative Agent for a determination (which the
Administrative Agent agrees (or shall agree) to provide upon request of the Pledgee) of the
outstanding Primary Obligations and Secondary Obligations owed to the Secured Creditors. Unless it
has received written notice from a Secured Creditor to the contrary, the Administrative Agent, in
furnishing information pursuant to the preceding sentence, and the Pledgee, in acting hereunder,
shall be entitled to assume that no Secondary Obligations are outstanding.

SECTION 10. PURCHASERS OF COLLATERAL. Upon any sale of the Collateral by the Pledgee
hereunder (whether by virtue of the power of sale herein granted, pursuant to judicial process or
otherwise), the receipt of the Pledgee or the officer making such sale shall be a sufficient
discharge to the purchaser or purchasers of the Collateral so sold, and such purchaser or
purchasers shall not be obligated to see to the application of any part of the purchase money paid
over to the Pledgee or such officer or be answerable in any way for the misapplication or
nonapplication thereof.
SECTION 11. INDEMNITY. Each Pledgor jointly and severally agrees (i) to indemnify,
reimburse and hold harmless the Pledgee and each other Secured Creditor and their respective
successors, assigns, officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents and affiliates
(individually an “Indemnitee”, and collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and
against any and all obligations, damages, injuries, penalties, claims, demands, losses, judgments
and liabilities (including, without limitation, liabilities for penalties) of whatsoever kind or
nature, and (ii) to reimburse each Indemnitee for all reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, in each case incurred by, imposed on or assessed
against any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of
any investigation, litigation or other proceeding (whether or not the Pledgee or any other
Indemnitee is a party thereto and whether or not such investigation, litigation or other proceeding
is brought by or on behalf of any Credit Party) related to the entering into and/or performance of
this Agreement or any transactions contemplated herein or the exercise by any Indemnitee of any
right or remedy granted to it hereunder or under any other Secured Debt Agreement (but excluding
any obligations, damages, injuries, penalties, claims, demands, losses, judgments and liabilities
(including, without limitation, liabilities for penalties) or expenses of whatsoever kind or nature
to the extent incurred or arising by reason of gross negligence or willful misconduct of such
Indemnitee (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable
decision)). In addition, the foregoing indemnification in favor of any director, officer,
employee, representative or agent of the Pledgee or any other Indemnitee shall be solely in their
respective capacities as such director, officer, employee, representative or agent. To the extent
that the undertaking to indemnify, pay or hold harmless the Pledgee or any other Indemnitee set
forth in this Section 11 may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public
policy, the Pledgor shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of
the indemnified liabilities which is permissible under applicable law. In no event shall the
Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor be liable, in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct on its part (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and
non-appealable decision), for any matter or thing in connection with this Agreement other than to
account for monies or other property actually received by it in accordance with the terms hereof.
The indemnity obligations of each Pledgor contained in this Section 11 shall continue in
full force and effect notwithstanding the full payment of all the Notes issued under the Credit
Agreement and the payment of all other Obligations and notwithstanding the discharge thereof.
SECTION 12. PLEDGEE NOT A PARTNER OR LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY MEMBER. (i) Nothing
herein shall be construed to make the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor liable as a member of
any limited liability company or as a partner of any partnership and neither the Pledgee nor any
other Secured Creditor by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise (except as referred to in the
following sentence) shall have any of the duties,
Exhibit H
Page 14
obligations or liabilities of a member of any limited liability company or as a partner in any
partnership. The parties hereto expressly agree that, unless the Pledgee shall become the absolute
owner of Collateral consisting of a Limited Liability Company Interest or a Partnership Interest
pursuant hereto, this Agreement shall not be construed as creating a partnership or joint venture
among the Pledgee, any other Secured Creditor, any Pledgor and/or any other Person.
(ii)
Except as provided in the last sentence of paragraph (a) of this Section 12, the
Pledgee, by accepting this Agreement, and the other Secured Creditors did not intend to become a
member of any limited liability company or a partner of any partnership or otherwise be deemed to
be a co-venturer with respect to any Pledgor, any limited liability company, partnership and/or any
other Person either before or after an Event of Default shall have occurred. The Pledgee shall
have only those powers set forth herein and the Secured Creditors shall assume none of the duties,
obligations or liabilities of a member of any limited liability company or as a partner of any
partnership or any Pledgor except as provided in the last sentence of paragraph (a) of this
Section 12.
(iii)
The Pledgee and the other Secured Creditors shall not be obligated to perform or
discharge any obligation of any Pledgor as a result of the pledge hereby effected.
(iv)
The acceptance by the Pledgee of this Agreement, with all the rights, powers, privileges
and authority so created, shall not at any time or in any event obligate the Pledgee or any other
Secured Creditor to appear in or defend any action or proceeding relating to the Collateral to
which it is not a party, or to take any action hereunder or thereunder, or to expend any money or
incur any expenses or perform or discharge any obligation, duty or liability under or in respect of
the Collateral.
SECTION 13. FURTHER ASSURANCES; POWER-OF-ATTORNEY. (i) Each Pledgor agrees that it
will join with the Pledgee in executing and, at such Pledgor’s own expense, file and refile under
the UCC or other applicable law such financing statements, continuation statements and other
documents, in form reasonably acceptable to the Pledgee, in such offices as the Pledgee (acting on
its own or on the instructions of the Required Lenders) may reasonably deem necessary or
appropriate and wherever required or permitted by law in order to perfect and preserve the
Pledgee’s security interest in the Collateral hereunder and hereby authorizes the Pledgee to file
financing statements and amendments thereto relative to all or any part of the Collateral
(including, without limitation, (x) financing statements which list the Collateral specifically as
collateral and (y) “in lieu of” financing statements) without the signature of such Pledgor where
permitted by law, and agrees to do such further acts and things and to execute and deliver to the
Pledgee such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments as the Pledgee may
reasonably require or deem advisable to carry into effect the purposes of this Agreement or to
further assure and confirm unto the Pledgee its rights, powers and remedies hereunder or
thereunder.
(ii)
Each Pledgor hereby constitutes and appoints the Pledgee its true and lawful
attorney-in-fact, irrevocably, with full authority in the place and stead of such Pledgor and in
the name of such Pledgor or otherwise, from time to time after the occurrence and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, in the Pledgee’s discretion, to act, require, demand, receive
and give acquittance for any and all monies and claims for monies due or to become due such
Exhibit H
Page 15
Pledgor under or arising out of the Collateral, to endorse any checks or other instruments or
orders in connection therewith and to file any claims or take any action or institute any
proceedings and to execute any instrument which the Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable to
accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, which appointment as attorney is coupled with an
interest.
SECTION 14. THE PLEDGEE AS ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT. The Pledgee will hold in accordance
with this Agreement all items of the Collateral at any time received under this Agreement. It is
expressly understood, acknowledged and agreed by each Secured Creditor that by accepting the
benefits of this Agreement each such Secured Creditor acknowledges and agrees that the obligations
of the Pledgee as holder of the Collateral and interests therein and with respect to the
disposition thereof, and otherwise under this Agreement, are only those expressly set forth in this
Agreement and in Section 10 of the Credit Agreement. The Pledgee shall act hereunder on the terms
and conditions set forth herein and in Section 10 of the Credit Agreement.
SECTION 15. TRANSFER BY THE PLEDGORS. Except as permitted prior to the date all
Obligations have been paid in full and all Commitments under the Credit Agreement have been
terminated, pursuant to the Credit Agreement, no Pledgor will sell or otherwise dispose of, grant
any option with respect to, or mortgage, pledge or otherwise encumber any of the Collateral or any
interest therein.
SECTION 16. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE PLEDGORS. (i) Each
Pledgor represents, warrants and covenants as to itself and each of its Subsidiaries that:
it is the legal, beneficial and record owner of, and has good and marketable title to,
all of its Collateral consisting of the Partnership Interests and Limited Liability Company
Interests and that it has sufficient interest in all of its Collateral in which a security

similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general equitable principles
(regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law);
except to the extent already obtained or made, no consent of any other party

any applicable order, writ, injunction or decree of any court, arbitrator or governmental
instrumentality, domestic or foreign, applicable to such Pledgor; (ii) will conflict or be
inconsistent with or result in any breach of any of the terms, covenants, conditions or

the properties or assets of such Pledgor or any of its Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of
any indenture, lease, mortgage, deed of trust, credit agreement, loan agreement or any other
material agreement, contract or other instrument to which such Pledgor or any of its
Subsidiaries is a party or is otherwise bound, or by which it or any of its properties or
assets is bound or to which it may be subject; or (iii) will violate any provision of the
certificate of incorporation, by-laws, certificate of partnership, partnership agreement,

demands of all persons whomsoever; and each Pledgor covenants and agrees that it will have like
title to and right to pledge any other property at any time hereafter pledged to the Pledgee by
such Pledgor as Collateral hereunder and will likewise defend the right thereto and security
interest therein of the Pledgee and the other Secured Creditors.

Pledgor changing its jurisdiction of organization or Location from the United States or a State
thereof to a jurisdiction of organization or Location, as the case may be, outside the United

promptly thereafter deliver a notification of the Administrative Agent of such organizational
identification number and shall take all actions reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative

SECTION 19. SALE OF COLLATERAL WITHOUT REGISTRATION. If at any time when the Pledgee
shall determine to exercise its right to sell all or any part of the Collateral consisting of
Limited Liability Company Interests or Partnership Interests pursuant to Section 7 hereof,
and such Collateral or the part thereof to be sold shall not, for any reason whatsoever, be
effectively registered under the Securities Act, as then in effect, the Pledgee may, in its sole
and absolute discretion, sell such Collateral or part thereof by private sale in such manner and
under such circumstances as the Pledgee may deem necessary or advisable in order that such sale may
legally be effected without such registration. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
in any such event the Pledgee, in its sole and absolute discretion, (i) may proceed to make such
private sale notwithstanding that a registration statement for the purpose of registering such
Collateral or part thereof shall have been filed under such Securities Act, (ii) may approach and
negotiate with a single possible purchaser to effect such sale, and (iii) may restrict such sale to
a purchaser who will represent and agree that such purchaser is purchasing for its own account, for
investment, and not with a view to the distribution or sale of such Collateral or part thereof. In
the event of any such sale, the Pledgee and the other Secured Creditors shall incur no
responsibility or liability for selling all or any part of the Collateral at a price which the
Pledgee, in its sole and absolute discretion, may in good xxxxx xxxx reasonable under the
circumstances, notwithstanding the possibility that a substantially higher price might be realized
if the sale were deferred until the registration as aforesaid.
SECTION 20. TERMINATION; RELEASE. (i) On the Termination Date (as defined below),
this Agreement shall terminate (provided that all indemnities set forth herein including, without
limitation, in Section 11 hereof shall survive any such termination) and the Pledgee, at
the request and expense of each Pledgor, will execute and deliver to such Pledgor a proper
instrument or instruments (including UCC termination statements) acknowledging the satisfaction and
termination of this Agreement (including, without limitation, UCC termination statements and
instruments of satisfaction, discharge and/or reconveyance), and will duly release from the
security interest created hereby and assign, transfer and deliver to such Pledgor (without recourse
and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral of such Pledgor as may be in the
possession of the Pledgee and as has not theretofore been sold or otherwise applied or released
pursuant to this Agreement, together with any moneys at the time held by the Pledgee or any of its
sub-agents hereunder and, with respect to any Collateral consisting of an Uncertificated Security,
a Partnership Interest or a Limited Liability Company Interest (other than an Uncertificated
Security, Partnership Interest or Limited Liability Company Interest
Exhibit H
Page 19
credited on the books of a Clearing Corporation or Securities Intermediary), a termination of
the agreement relating thereto executed and delivered by the issuer of such Uncertificated Security
pursuant to Section 3.2(a)(ii) hereof. As used in this Agreement, “Termination
Date” shall mean the date upon which the Commitments under the Credit Agreement have been
terminated, no Note (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is outstanding (and all Loans have been
paid in full), and all other Obligations (other than indemnities described in Section 11
hereof and described in Section 11.01 of the Credit Agreement, and any other indemnities set forth
in any other Security Documents, in each case which are not then due and payable) then due and
payable have been paid in full.
(ii) In the event that any part of the Collateral of any Pledgor is sold or otherwise disposed
of (to a Person other than a Credit Party) at any time prior to the time at which all Obligations
have been paid in full and all Commitments under the Credit Agreement have been terminated, in
connection with a sale or disposition permitted by Section 7.02 of the Credit Agreement or is
otherwise released at the direction of the Required Lenders (or all the Lenders if required by
Section 11.12 of the Credit Agreement), and the proceeds of such sale or disposition (or from such
release) are applied in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement or such other Secured
Debt Agreement, as the case may be, to the extent required to be so applied, the Pledgee, at the
request and expense of such Pledgor, will duly release from the security interest created hereby
(and will execute and deliver such documentation, including termination or partial release
statements and the like in connection therewith) and assign, transfer and deliver to such Pledgor
(without recourse and without any representation or warranty) such of the Collateral as is then
being (or has been) so sold or released and as may be in the possession of the Pledgee (or, in the
case of Collateral held by any sub-agent designated pursuant to Section 4 hereto, such
sub-agent) and has not theretofore been released pursuant to this Agreement.
(iii) At any time that any Pledgor desires that Collateral be released as provided in the
foregoing Section 20(a) or (b) hereof, it shall deliver to the Pledgee (and the
relevant sub-agent, if any, designated pursuant to Section 4 hereof) a certificate signed
by an authorized officer of such Pledgor stating that the release of the respective Collateral is
permitted pursuant to Section 20(a) or (b) hereof.
(iv) The Pledgee shall have no liability whatsoever to any other Secured Creditor as the
result of any release of Collateral by it in accordance with (or which the Administrative Agent in
good faith believes to be in accordance with) this Section 20.

be changed, waived, modified or varied in any manner whatsoever unless in writing signed by each
Pledgor directly affected thereby (it being understood that the release of any Pledgor hereunder
shall not constitute a change, waiver discharge or termination affecting any Pledgor other than the
Pledgor so released) and the Administrative Agent (with the written consent of the Required Lenders
or all Lenders if required by Section 11.12 of the Credit Agreement).
SECTION 23. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall create a continuing security
interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full force and effect, subject to release and/or
termination as set forth in Section 20 hereof, (ii) be binding upon each Pledgor, its

written consent of all Lenders), and (iii) inure, together with the rights and remedies of the
Pledgee hereunder, to the benefit of the Pledgee, the other Secured Creditors and their respective
successors, transferees and assigns. All agreements, statements, representations and warranties

Creditors and shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Secured Debt
Agreements regardless of any investigation made by the Secured Creditors or on their behalf.

in Pledgee’s possession, nor shall the Pledgee or any other Secured Creditor be required or
obligated in any manner to perform or fulfill any of the obligations of any Pledgor under or with
respect to any Collateral.
SECTION 27. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which when so

Creditors that this Agreement shall be enforced against each Pledgor to the fullest extent
permissible under the laws applied in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought.
SECTION 31. RELEASE OF PLEDGORS. If at any time all or a portion of the Collateral

does not violate the terms of any other Secured Debt Agreement then in effect), then, provided that
all conditions to such transaction are satisfied (including, without limitation, the making of any
mandatory repayments required pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Credit Agreement), such Collateral
and, to the extent such Pledgor does not own any other Collateral, such Pledgor shall be released
pursuant to this Agreement without any further action hereunder, and the Pledgee is authorized and
directed to execute and deliver such instruments of release as are reasonably satisfactory to it.

is terminated, the Issuer will send any and all redemptions, distributions, interest or other
payments in respect of the Issuer Pledged Interests from the Issuer for the account of the Pledgee
only by wire transfers to such account as the Pledgee shall instruct.
