the account of, or credit extended by, any Lender or any applicable LIBOR
Lending Office (other than the Reserve Requirement and any other reserves and
assessments taken into account in determining the interest rate applicable to
LIBOR Rate Advances), or
-26-
(iii) imposes
any other condition the direct result of which is to increase the cost to any
Lender or any applicable LIBOR Lending Office of making, funding or maintaining
its LIBOR Rate Loans, or reduces any amount receivable by any Lender or any
applicable LIBOR Lending Office in connection with its LIBOR Rate
Loans, or requires any Lender or any applicable LIBOR Lending Office to make any
payment calculated by reference to the amount of LIBOR Rate Loans, by a material
amount.
and the
result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender or
applicable LIBOR Lending Office, as the case may be, of making or maintaining
its LIBOR Rate Loans or Commitment or to reduce the return received by such
Lender or applicable LIBOR Lending Office in connection with such LIBOR Rate
Loans or Commitment, then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender, the Borrower
shall pay such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such
Lender for such increased cost or reduction in amount received.
3.4 Changes in Capital Adequacy
Regulations. If
a Lender in good faith determines the amount of capital required or expected to
be maintained by such Lender, any LIBOR Lending Office of such Lender or any
corporation controlling such Lender is increased as a result of a
Change (as hereinafter defined), then, within 15 days of demand by such Lender,
the Borrower shall pay such Lender the amount necessary to compensate for any
shortfall in the rate of return on the portion of such increased capital which
such Lender in good faith determines is attributable to this Agreement, its
outstanding credit exposure hereunder or its obligation to make Loans hereunder
(after taking into account such Lender’s policies as to capital
adequacy). “Change” means
(i) any change after the date of this Agreement in the Risk-Based Capital
Guidelines (as hereinafter defined) or (ii) any adoption of or change in
any other law, governmental or quasi-governmental rule, regulation, policy,
guideline, interpretation, or directive (whether or not having the force of law)
after the date of this Agreement which affects the amount of capital required or
expected to be maintained by any Lender or any LIBOR Lending Office or any
corporation controlling any Lender. “Risk-Based Capital
Guidelines” means (i) the risk-based capital guidelines in effect in
the United States on the date of this Agreement, including transition rules, and
(ii) the corresponding capital regulations promulgated by regulatory
authorities outside the United States implementing the July 1988 report of the
Basle Committee on Banking Regulation and Supervisory Practices Entitled
“International Convergence of Capital Measurements and Capital Standards,”
including transition rules, and any amendments to such regulations adopted prior
to the date of this Agreement.
3.5 Availability of Types of
Advances. If
any Lender in good faith determines that maintenance of any of its LIBOR Rate
Loans at a suitable LIBOR Lending Office would violate any applicable law, rule,
regulation or directive, whether or not having the force of law, the
Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower, suspend the
availability of the affected Type of Advance and require any LIBOR Rate Advances
of the affected Type to be repaid; or if the Requisite Lenders in good faith
determine that (i) deposits of a type or maturity appropriate to match fund
LIBOR Rate Advances are not available, the Administrative Agent shall, with
written notice to Borrower, suspend the availability of the affected Type of
Advance with respect to any LIBOR Rate Advances made after the date of any such
determination, or (ii) an interest rate applicable to a Type of Advance
does not accurately reflect the cost of making a LIBOR Rate Advance of such
Type, then, if for any reason whatsoever the provisions of Section 3.3 are
inapplicable, the Administrative Agent shall, with written notice to Borrower,
suspend the availability of the affected Type of Advance with respect to any
LIBOR Rate Advances made after the date of any such determination. If
the Borrower is required to so repay a LIBOR Rate Advance, the Borrower may
concurrently with such repayment borrow from the Lenders, in the amount of such
repayment, a Loan bearing interest at the Alternate Base Rate.
-27-
3.6 Funding
Indemnification. If
any payment of a ratable LIBOR Rate Advance, or any conversion of a ratable
LIBOR Rate Advance to an Alternate Base Rate Advance, occurs on a date which is
not the last day of the applicable LIBOR Period, whether because of
acceleration, prepayment or otherwise, or a ratable LIBOR Rate Advance is not
made on the date specified by the Borrower for any reason other than default by
the Lenders or as a result of unavailability pursuant to Section 3.5, the
Borrower will indemnify each Lender for any loss or cost incurred by it
resulting therefrom (a “Breakage Fee”),
including, without limitation, any loss or cost (incurred or expected to be
incurred) in liquidating or employing deposits acquired to fund or maintain the
ratable LIBOR Rate Advance and shall pay all such losses or costs within fifteen
(15) days after written demand therefor.
3.7 Late
Payments. If
any installment of principal or interest or any fee or cost or other amount
payable under any Loan Document to the Administrative Agent or any Lender is not
paid when due, subject to all applicable notice and cure periods, it shall
thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum (the “Default Rate”) at all
times equal to (i) in the case of interest or principal, the sum of the rate
otherwise applicable to the Loans, plus 3% and (ii) in the case of any other
amount, the sum of the Alternate Base Rate plus 3%, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Laws. Accrued and unpaid interest on past due
amounts (including, without limitation, interest on past due interest) shall be
compounded monthly, on the last day of each calendar month, to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable Laws, and shall be payable upon
demand. In addition, Borrower shall pay, upon demand, a late charge
equal to five percent (5%) of any amount of interest and/or principal payable on
the Loans or any other amounts payable hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents which is not paid within ten (10) days of the date when
due.
3.8 Computation of Interest and
Fees. Computation
of interest and fees under this Agreement shall be calculated on the basis of a
year of 360 days and the actual number of days elapsed, except that interest at
the Alternate Base Rate shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 or 366 day
year, as applicable. Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day
on which the Loan is made; interest shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion
thereof, for the day on which the Loan or such portion is paid. Any
Loan that is repaid on the same day on which it is made shall bear interest for
one day. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
interest in excess of the maximum amount permitted by applicable Laws shall not
accrue or be payable hereunder or under the Notes, and any amount paid as
interest hereunder or under the Notes which would otherwise be in excess of such
maximum permitted amount shall instead be treated as a payment of
principal.
3.9 Non Banking
Days. If
any payment to be made by Borrower or any other Party under any Loan Document
shall come due on a day other than a Banking Day, payment shall instead be
considered due on the next succeeding Banking Day, unless, in the case of a
payment relating to a LIBOR Rate Loan, such next succeeding Banking Day is in
the next calendar month, in which case such payment shall be made on the next
preceding Banking Day, but the extension of time shall not be reflected in
computing interest and fees.
-28-
3.10 Manner and Treatment of
Payments.
(a) Each
payment hereunder (except payments pursuant to Sections 3.4, 3.5, 18.3, 18.11 and 18.21) or on the
Notes or under any other Loan Document shall be made to the Administrative Agent
at the Administrative Agent’s Office for the account of the Lenders or the
Administrative Agent, as the case may be, in immediately available funds not
later than 2:00 p.m., Cleveland time, on the day of payment (which must be a
Banking Day). All payments received after such time, on any Banking
Day, shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Banking Day. The
amount of all payments received by the Administrative Agent for the account of
the Lenders shall be paid in immediately available funds by the Administrative
Agent to the Lenders entitled to receive such amounts in accordance with this
Agreement. If any payment is received by the Administrative Agent by 2:00 p.m.,
Cleveland time, on a Banking Day and not so made available to the account of a
Lender on that Banking Day, the Administrative Agent shall reimburse that Lender
for the cost to such Lender of not receiving the amount of such payment by
paying the Federal Funds Effective Rate on such payment for each day that
payment is delayed. All payments shall be made in
Dollars.
(b) Each
payment or prepayment to a Lender shall be applied first to Alternate Base Rate
Loans held by such Lender and then to LIBOR Rate Loans held by such
Lender.
(c) Each
Lender shall keep a record (in writing or by an electronic data entry system) of
Advances made by it and payments received by it with respect to each of its
Notes and, subject to Section 17.6(g),
such record shall, as against Borrower, be presumptive evidence of the amounts
owing, absent manifest error. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence,
the failure by any Lender to keep such a record shall not affect Borrower’s
obligation to pay the Obligations.
(d) All
payments by the Borrower to or for the account of any Lender or the
Administrative Agent hereunder or under any Note shall be made free and clear of
and without deduction for any and all Taxes. If the Borrower shall be
required by law to deduct any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable
hereunder to any Lender or the Administrative Agent, (a) the sum payable
shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section 3.10(d) such
Lender or the Administrative Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal
to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) the
Borrower shall make such deductions, (c) the Borrower shall pay the full amount
deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and (d) the
Borrower shall furnish to the Administrative Agent the original copy of a
receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is
made.
(e) In
addition, the Borrower hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp or
documentary taxes and any other excise or property taxes, charges or similar
levies which arise from any payment made hereunder or under any Note or from the
execution or delivery of, or otherwise with respect to, this Agreement or any
Note (“Other Taxes”).
-29-
(f) The
Borrower hereby agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent and each Lender for
the full amount of Taxes or Other Taxes (including, without limitation, any
Taxes or Other Taxes imposed on amounts payable under this Section 3.10(d)) paid
by the Administrative Agent or such Lender and any liability (including
penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect
thereto. Payments due under this indemnification shall be made within
30 days of the date the Administrative Agent or such Lender makes demand
therefor.
(g) Each
Lender that is not incorporated under the laws of the United States of America
or a state thereof (each a “Non-US Lender”)
agrees that it will, not more than ten Business Days after the Agreement
Execution Date, (i) deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent
two duly completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN
or W-8ECI, certifying in either case that such Lender is entitled to receive
payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United
States federal income taxes, and (ii) deliver to each of the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent a United States Internal Revenue Form W-8 or W-9, as the
case may be, and certify that it is entitled to an exemption from United States
backup withholding tax. Each Non-U.S. Lender further undertakes to
deliver to each of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (x) renewals or
additional copies of such form (or any successor form) on or before the date
that such form expires or becomes obsolete, and (y) after the occurrence of any
event requiring a change in the most recent forms so delivered by it, such
additional forms or amendments thereto as may be reasonably requested by the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent. All forms or amendments
described in the preceding sentence shall certify that such Lender is entitled
to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any
United States federal income taxes, unless an event (including without
limitation any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the
date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all
such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing
and delivering any such form or amendment with respect to it and such Lender
advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent that it is not capable of
receiving payments without any deduction or withholding of United States federal
income tax.
(h) For
any period during which a Non-U.S. Lender has failed to provide the Borrower
with an appropriate form pursuant to Section 3.10(g) above
(unless such failure is due to a change in treaty, law or regulation, or any
change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental
authority, occurring subsequent to the date on which a form originally was
required to be provided), such Non-U.S. Lender shall not be entitled to
indemnification under this Section 3.10 with
respect to Taxes imposed by the United States.
(i) Any
Lender that is entitled to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax
with respect to payments under this Agreement or any Note pursuant to the law of
any relevant jurisdiction or any treaty shall deliver to the Borrower (with a
copy to the Administrative Agent), at the time or times prescribed by applicable
law, such properly completed and executed documentation prescribed by applicable
law as will permit such payments to be made without withholding or at a reduced
rate following receipt of such documentation.
-30-
(j) If
the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or any other governmental authority of the
United States or any other country or any political subdivision thereof asserts
a claim that the Administrative Agent did not properly withhold tax from amounts
paid to or for the account of any Lender (because the appropriate form was not
delivered or properly completed, because such Lender failed to notify the
Administrative Agent of a change in circumstances which rendered its exemption
from withholding ineffective, or for any other reason), such Lender shall
indemnify the Administrative Agent fully for all amounts paid, directly or
indirectly, by the Administrative Agent as tax, withholding therefor, or
otherwise, including penalties and interest, and including taxes imposed by any
jurisdiction on amounts payable to the Administrative Agent under this
subsection, together with all costs and expenses related thereto (including
attorneys fees and time charges of attorneys for the Administrative Agent, which
attorneys may be employees of the Administrative Agent). The
obligations of the Lenders under this Section 3.10(j)
shall survive the payment of the Obligations and termination of this Agreement
and any such Lender obligated to indemnify the Administrative Agent shall not be
entitled to indemnification from the Borrower with respect to such amounts,
whether pursuant to this Article or otherwise,
except to the extent the Borrower participated in the actions giving rise to
such liability.
3.11 Lender Statements; Survival
of Indemnity. To
the extent reasonably possible, each Lender shall designate an alternate LIBOR
Lending Office with respect to its LIBOR Rate Loans to reduce any liability of
the Borrower to such Lender under Sections 3.3, 3.4 and
3.10 or to avoid the unavailability of LIBOR Rate Advances under Section 3.5, so long
as such designation is not, in the reasonable judgment of such Lender,
disadvantageous to such Lender. Each Lender shall deliver a written
statement of such Lender to the Borrower (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) as to the amount due, if any, under Sections 3.3, 3.4, 3.6 or
3.10. Such written statement shall set forth in reasonable
detail the calculations upon which such Lender determined such amount and shall
be final, conclusive and binding on the Borrower in the absence of manifest
error. Determination of amounts payable under such Sections in
connection with a LIBOR Rate Loan shall be calculated as though each Lender
funded its LIBOR Rate Loan through the purchase of a deposit of the type and
maturity corresponding to the deposit used as a reference in determining the
LIBOR Rate applicable to such Loan, whether in fact that is the case or
not. Unless otherwise provided herein, the amount specified in the
written statement of any Lender shall be payable on demand after receipt by the
Borrower of such written statement. The obligations of the Borrower
under Sections 3.3,
3.4, 3.6 and
3.10 shall survive payment of the Obligations and termination of this
Agreement.
3.12 Administrative Agent’s Right
to Assume Payments Will be Made by Borrower. Unless
the Administrative Agent shall have been notified by Borrower prior to the date
on which any payment to be made by Borrower hereunder is due that Borrower does
not intend to remit such payment, the Administrative Agent may, in its
discretion, assume that Borrower has remitted such payment when so due and the
Administrative Agent may, in its discretion and in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to each Lender on such payment date an amount equal
to such Lender’s share of such assumed payment. If Borrower has not
in fact remitted such payment to the Administrative Agent, each Lender shall
forthwith on demand repay to the Administrative Agent the amount of such assumed
payment made available to such Lender, together with interest thereon in respect
of each day from and including the date such amount was made available by the
Administrative Agent to such Lender to the date such amount is repaid to the
Administrative Agent at the Federal Funds Effective Rate.

or visible easement (or other easement of which Borrower is aware or has reason
to believe may exist) with respect to the Project.
(m) To
the Borrower’s knowledge, there are no material delinquent taxes, ground rents,

warranties (except for those representations which are limited by reference to a
specific date or period of time), as deemed modified in accordance with the
disclosures made and approved as aforesaid, as of the date of such
request. It shall be a condition precedent to each subsequent

BUDGET
AND CONTINGENCY FUND
8.1 Budget. Disbursement
of the Loan shall be governed by a budget for the Project (the “Budget”), in form and
substance acceptable to Administrative Agent in the Administrative Agent’s
reasonable discretion, specifying the amount of cash equity to be invested in
the Project and all costs and expenses of every kind and nature whatever to be
incurred by Borrower in connection with the Project prior to the Maturity Date
as described more fully in Section 8.2
below. The Budget shall include, in addition to the Budget Line Items
described in Section 8.2
below, the Contingency Fund described in Section 8.3
below, and amounts satisfactory to Administrative Agent for soft costs and other
reserves acceptable to Administrative Agent. The initial Budget is
attached hereto as Exhibit G
and made a part hereof. Except as expressly provided herein to the
contrary, all changes to the Budget shall in all respects be subject to the
prior written approval of Administrative Agent. Changes in the scope of
construction work or to any construction related contract must be documented
with a change order on the AIA Form G 701 or equivalent form.
8.2 Budget Line
Items. The
Budget shall include as line items (“Budget Line Items”),
to the extent determined to be applicable by Administrative Agent in its
reasonable discretion, the cost of all labor, materials, equipment, fixtures and
furnishings needed for the completion of Construction, and all other costs, fees
and expenses relating in any way whatsoever to the Construction of the
Improvements, leasing commissions, tenant improvements and tenant allowances,
operating deficits, real estate taxes, the acquisition of the Phase II Retail
Unit and all other sums due in connection with Construction and operation of the
Project, the Loan, and this Agreement. Borrower agrees that all Loan
proceeds shall be used only for the Budget Line Items for which such proceeds
were disbursed.
Without
limiting Borrower’s rights under Section 8.3
below, Borrower shall have the right to reallocate cost savings effected by
final change order or other appropriate final documentation to other Budget Line
Items subject to Administrative Agent’s prior written consent not to be
unreasonably withheld.
Lenders
shall not be obligated to disburse any amount for any category of costs set
forth as a Budget Line Item which is greater than the amount set forth for such
category in the applicable Budget Line Item. Borrower shall pay as
they become due all amounts set forth in the Budget with respect to costs to be
paid for by Borrower.
8.3 Contingency
Fund. The
Budget contains a line item titled “Hard Cost Contingency” designated for
contingency (“Contingency Fund”)
which shall represent an amount necessary to provide reasonable assurances to
Lenders that additional funds are available to be used if additional costs and
expenses are incurred or additional interest accrues on the Loan, or
unanticipated events or problems occur. Borrower may from time to
time request that the Contingency Fund be reallocated to pay needed Project
Costs of the Project, subject to Administrative Agent’s written approval in its
reasonable discretion.
Borrower
agrees that the decision with respect to utilizing portions of the Contingency
Fund in order to keep the Loan “In Balance” shall, except as provided in the
preceding paragraph of this Section 8.3, be
made by the Administrative Agent in its reasonable discretion, and that the
Administrative Agent may require Borrower to make a Deficiency Deposit even if
funds remain in the Contingency Fund.
-45-
8.4 Optional Method for Payment
of Interest. For
Borrower’s benefit, the Budget includes a Budget Line Item for
interest. Borrower hereby authorizes the Administrative Agent from
time to time, for the mutual convenience of Lenders and Borrower, to disburse
Loan proceeds to pay all the then accrued interest on the Notes, regardless of
whether Borrower shall have specifically requested a disbursement of such
amount. Any such disbursement, if made, shall be added to the
outstanding principal balance of the Note. The authorization hereby
granted, however, shall not obligate Lender to make disbursements of the Loan
for interest payments (except upon Borrower’s qualifying for and requesting
disbursement of that portion of the proceeds of the Loan allocated for such
purposes in the Budget) nor prevent Borrower from paying accrued interest from
its own funds. Once the Project begins to generate NOI, Borrower may
only borrow from the Loan interest in excess of the NOI so
generated.

SUFFICIENCY
OF LOAN
9.1 Loan In
Balance. Anything
in this Agreement contained to the contrary notwithstanding, it is expressly
understood and agreed that in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable discretion
the Loan shall at all times be “In Balance” on a line-by-line and an aggregate
basis. Each line item in the Budget shall be deemed to be “In Balance” only when
the undisbursed portion of the then-current line item equals or exceeds the
costs required to complete all elements of the construction of the Project
intended to be covered by such line item. The Loan shall be deemed to be “In
Balance” in the aggregate only when the total of (i) the undisbursed portion of
the then-current Maximum Loan Amount less (ii) the then-current Contingency Fund
plus (iii) the undisbursed portion of the Borrower’s Equity Requirement
(collectively, the “Total Undisbursed Committed
Funds”) equals or exceeds the aggregate of (a) the costs required to
complete the Construction of the Project in accordance with the Plans and
Specifications and the Budget, including, without limitation, all Tenant Work
required to be performed by Borrower or tenant allowances to be paid for by
Borrower under Leases or reasonably anticipated for unleased space in any Phase;
(b) the amounts to be paid as retainages to persons who have supplied labor or
materials to the Project; (c) the cost to acquire the Phase III Retail Unit; (d)
the amount in excess of projected NOI required to pay interest on the Loan
through the Maturity Date; and (e) all other hard and soft costs not yet paid
for in connection with the Project. Such costs and amounts described
in clauses (a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) may be estimated and/or approved in
writing by the Administrative Agent from time to time. Borrower
agrees that if for any reason, in the Administrative Agent’s reasonable
discretion, the amount of the Total Undisbursed Committed Funds shall at any
time be or become insufficient for such purpose regardless of how such condition
may be caused, Borrower will, within ten (10) days after written request by the
Administrative Agent, deposit the deficiency with the Administrative Agent
(“Deficiency
Deposit”). The Deficiency Deposit shall first be exhausted
before any further disbursement of Loan proceeds shall be
made. Lenders shall not be obligated to make any Loan disbursements
if and for as long as the Loan is not “In Balance”. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, if, as a result of any subsequent
events, such Deficiency Deposit is no longer needed in order for the Loan to be
“In Balance”, then to the extent that any portion of such Deficiency Deposit has
not otherwise been applied to Project Costs, such Deficiency Deposit funds held
by Administrative Agent shall be returned to Borrower.

withheld from amounts disbursed after 50% Construction completion of a Phase is
achieved. On the Loan Opening Date, Borrower shall deliver to
Administrative Agent a statement from the General Contractor that shall confirm
the retainage that has been withheld from the General Contractor with respect to
Phase IA, and that the Budget includes the appropriate retainage, given the
then-current status of Construction of such Phase and all prior payments to the
General Contractor. The retained Loan amounts for Construction costs
for a Phase will be disbursed only at the time of the final disbursement of Loan
proceeds for such Phase under Article 11
below; provided, however, upon the
satisfactory completion of one hundred percent (100%) of the work on a Phase
with respect to any trade (including any trade performed by General Contractor)
or the delivery of all materials with respect to such Phase pursuant to a
purchase order in accordance with the Plans and Specifications as certified by
the Architect and Lenders’ Consultant, the retainages with respect to such trade
or order, as the case may be, on such Phase shall be disbursed to Borrower
within thirty (30) days after Lenders’ Consultant’s approval of all such work
and materials and the Administrative Agent’s receipt of a final waiver of lien
with respect to such completed work or delivered materials.
10.5 Disbursements for Materials
Stored On-Site. Any
requests for disbursements which in whole or in part relate to materials,
equipment or furnishings which Borrower owns and which are not incorporated into
the Improvements as of the date of the request for disbursement, but are to be
temporarily stored at the Project, shall be made in an aggregate amount not to
exceed $2,000,000 outstanding at any time. Any such request must be
accompanied by evidence satisfactory to Administrative Agent that (i) such
stored materials are included within the coverages of insurance policies carried
by Borrower, (ii) the ownership of such materials is vested in Borrower
free of any liens and claims of third parties, (iii) such materials are
properly insured and protected against theft or damage, (iv) the materials used

Construction, (v) if requested by the Administrative Agent, the Lenders’
Consultant has viewed and inspected the stored materials, and (vi) if so
requested by Administrative Agent, in the reasonable opinion of the Lenders’

Materials. Administrative
Agent shall make disbursements for materials stored off-site not to exceed
$3,000,000 in the aggregate (subject to an increase in such maximum amount to
$5,000,000 during such time as such stored off-site materials include pre-cast
concrete for the Project), provided all of the requirements of Section 10.5
shall be applicable to such disbursement as well as any other requirements which
the Administrative Agent may, in its sole discretion, determine are appropriate
under the circumstances.
10.7 Disbursements For Tenant
Work and Allowances.
(a) Lenders
will agree to make interim disbursements for Tenant Work or tenant allowances
for Tenants under the Leases as required to comply with the terms of any such
Lease.

leased space in the Project shall be accompanied by the following, all of which
shall be subject to the review and approval of the Lender’s Consultant and the
reasonable approval of Administrative Agent:
(i) copies
of all contracts, if not previously delivered to Administrative Agent, for the
performance of such Tenant Work;
(ii) a
cost breakdown for each trade performing Tenant Work in such leased space, and
an estimated commencement and completion date;
(iii) an
estimate of all direct costs of the Tenant Work to be performed in such leased
space which has not been contracted for or made subject to a work order or order
to proceed;
(iv) plans
and specifications for the leased space, together with a certificate from an
architect acceptable to the Administrative Agent that such plans and
specifications comply with all Laws affecting the Project and the lease covering
such leased space; and
(v) evidence
of all insurance required to be maintained in connection with such Tenant Work
pursuant to the terms of the Leases, including, without limitation, builder’s
risk insurance coverage, all as evidenced by insurance certificates in favor of

Developer’s Fee. The
Budget includes a development management fee with respect to Phase I in the
amount of $8,184,549 and a development management fee with respect to Phase II
in the amount of $3,840,750 (collectively, the “Developer’s Fee”)
payable to Borrower’s managing member. The Developer’s Fee will be
disbursed by the Administrative Agent in monthly disbursements commencing on the
Loan Opening Date. Each such disbursement with respect to Phase I or
Phase II, when aggregated with all prior disbursements for such Phase, shall not
exceed a percentage of the portion of the Developer’s Fee allocable to such
Phase equal to the percentage of the completion of the Improvements on such
Phase as of the date of disbursement, as evidenced by the General Contractor’s

to the provisions of the Ground Lease and of Section 14.1(b)
below and except as otherwise provided in the Deed of Trust, the Administrative

Obligations all proceeds of insurance or condemnation derived from the Project

documents governing Phase III, as approved by the Administrative
Agent. Any proceeds remaining after repayment of the Obligations
under the Loan Documents shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to

the right of Administrative Agent to apply Proceeds to the Advances and the
other Obligations of Borrower pursuant to Section 14.1(a),
in the event of any casualty to the Improvements or the Phase III Retail Unit or

applying the Proceeds to restoration of the Improvements or the Phase III Retail
Unit, as the case may be, if (i) no Event of Default otherwise exists,

deposited with Administrative Agent by Borrower for such purpose) is sufficient
to pay the full and complete costs of such restoration, (iv) no material
Leases in effect at the time of such casualty or condemnation are or will be
terminated as a result of such casualty or condemnation, and (v) in
Administrative Agent’s reasonable determination, the Project can be restored to
an architecturally and economically viable project in compliance with Applicable
Laws.

14.2 Borrower’s Obligation to
Rebuild and Use of Proceeds Therefor. In
case the Administrative Agent does not elect to apply or does not have the right
to apply the Proceeds to the Obligations, as provided in Section 14.1
above, Borrower shall:
(a) Proceed
with diligence to make settlement with insurers or the appropriate governmental
authorities and, except as otherwise provided above with respect to the Phase
III Retail Unit or in the Deed of Trust, cause the Proceeds to be deposited with
Administrative Agent;
(b) In
the event of any delay in making settlement with insurers or the appropriate
governmental authorities or effecting collection of the Proceeds, deposit with
Administrative Agent or with Ground Lessor’s Fee Mortgagee, if and to the extent
required under the terms of the Ground Lease and the Ground Lessor’s deed of
trust the full amount required to complete construction as
aforesaid;
(c) In
the event the Proceeds and the available proceeds of the Loan are insufficient
to assure the Lenders that the Loan will be In Balance, promptly deposit with
Administrative Agent any amount necessary to place the Loan In Balance;
and
(d) Promptly
proceed with the assumption of construction of the Improvements or the Phase III
Retail Unit, including the repair of all damage resulting from such fire,
condemnation or other cause and restoration to its former
condition.
Any
request by Borrower for a disbursement by Lenders of Proceeds and funds
deposited by Borrower shall be treated by Lenders as if such request were for an
advance of the Loan hereunder, and the disbursement thereof shall be conditioned
upon Borrower’s compliance with and satisfaction of the same conditions
precedent as would be applicable under this Agreement for an advance of the
Loan.

thirty (30) days after the giving of notice by the Administrative Agent on
behalf of the Requisite Lenders of such Default or, if such Default is not
reasonably susceptible of cure within such period, within such longer period as
is reasonably necessary to effect a cure so long as Borrower or such Loan Party
continues to diligently pursue cure of such Default but not in any event in
excess of ninety (90) days; and provided further, however, that notwithstanding
the 30-day cure period or extended cure period described above in this clause
(f), if a different notice or cure period is specified under any Loan Document
or under any provision of the Loan Documents as to any such failure or breach,
the specific Loan Document or provision shall control, and Borrower or such Loan

(i) the existence of an “Event of Default” (as defined in the Unsecured

Unsecured Credit Agreement or any promissory notes evidencing the credit
facility created by the Unsecured Credit Agreement as a result of any other

be deemed to be of no further force or effect from and after the date on which
the Actual DSCR equals or exceeds 1.25 to 1.0 and only clause (ii) of this Section 16.1(l) shall
be applicable thereafter and (B) if the Unsecured Credit Agreement shall be

Default hereunder shall still be deemed to occur hereunder if any event or
condition occurs which (x) would have constituted either such an “Event of
Default” under the Unsecured Credit Agreement for purposes of clause (i) or
(y) could, with the giving of any notice and expiration of any cure period,
have given rise to an acceleration under the Unsecured Credit Agreement if the
Unsecured Credit Agreement had not been terminated; or
-62-
(m) Any
Loan Document, at any time after its execution and delivery and for any reason
other than the agreement or action (or omission to act) of the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders or satisfaction in full of all the Obligations ceases to be
in full force and effect or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to
be null and void, invalid or unenforceable in any respect which is materially
adverse to the interests of the Lenders; or any Loan Party thereto denies in
writing that it has any or further liability or obligation under any Loan

or order for relief is entered in respect of any such Person in such proceeding;
or
(o) The
occurrence of an Event of Default (as such term is or may hereafter be

Document.
16.2 Remedies Upon Event of
Default. Without
limiting any other rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
provided for elsewhere in this Agreement, or the other Loan Documents, or by
applicable Law, or in equity, or otherwise:
(a) Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default,
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, may take possession of the
Project to complete the Construction, acquire the Phase III Retail Unit, cure
any defaults by Borrower under the Ground Lease as provided in the Ground Lease
and the Deed of Trust and do anything which is necessary or appropriate in its
sole judgment to fulfill the obligations of Borrower under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, including either the right to avail itself of and
procure performance of existing contracts or let any contracts with the same
contractors or others. Without restricting the generality of the
foregoing and for the purposes aforesaid, Borrower hereby appoints and
constitutes Administrative Agent its lawful attorney-in-fact with full power of
substitution: to complete the Construction in the name of Borrower;
to acquire the Phase III Retail Unit; to use unadvanced funds remaining under
the Loan or which may be reserved, escrowed or set aside for any purposes
hereunder at any time, or to advance funds in excess of the Maximum Loan Amount,
to complete the Construction; to make changes in the Plans and Specifications
which shall be necessary or desirable to complete the Construction in
substantially the manner contemplated by the Plans and Specifications; to retain
or employ new general contractors, subcontractors, architects, engineers and
inspectors as shall be required for said purposes; to pay, settle or compromise
all existing bills and claims, which may be liens or security interests, or to
avoid such bills and claims becoming Liens against the Project; to execute all
applications and certificates in the name of Borrower, to prosecute and defend
all actions or proceedings in connection with the Improvements or the Project;
to take action and require such performance as it deems necessary under any of
the bonds to be furnished hereunder and to make settlements and compromises with
the surety or sureties thereunder, and in connection therewith, to execute
instruments of release and satisfaction; and to do any and every act which the
Borrower might do in its own behalf; it being understood and agreed that this
power of attorney shall be a power coupled with an interest and cannot be
revoked.
-63-
(b) Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the
Administrative Agent may withhold further disbursement of the proceeds of the
Loan and/or terminate the Lenders’ obligations to make further disbursements
hereunder.
(c) Upon
the occurrence, and during the continuance, of any Event of Default other than
an Event of Default with respect to Borrower described in Section 16.1(n),
the Requisite Lenders may request the Administrative Agent to, and the
Administrative Agent thereupon shall, declare all or any part of the unpaid
principal of all Notes, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and all other
amounts payable under the Loan Documents to be forthwith due and payable,
whereupon the same shall become and be forthwith due and payable, without
protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further notice of any kind,
all of which are expressly waived by Borrower, and Lenders’ Commitments to make
further disbursements hereunder shall be terminated immediately without any
further action.
(d) Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default with respect
to Borrower described in Section 16.1(n),
the unpaid principal of all Notes, all interest accrued and unpaid thereon and
all other amounts payable under the Loan Documents shall be forthwith due and
payable, all without protest, presentment, notice of dishonor, demand or further
notice of any kind, all of which are expressly waived by Borrower.
(e) Upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, the Requisite
Lenders may direct the Administrative Agent to, and the Administrative Agent
thereupon shall, on behalf of the Lenders, without notice to (except as
expressly provided for in any Loan Document) or demand upon Borrower, which are
expressly waived by Borrower (except as to notices expressly provided for in any
Loan Document), proceed to protect, exercise and enforce their rights and
remedies under the Loan Documents against Borrower and any other Loan Party and
such other rights and remedies as are provided by Law or equity.
(f) The
order and manner in which the Lenders’ rights and remedies are to be exercised
shall be determined by the Administrative Agent and all payments received by the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, or any of them, shall be applied as
provided for herein. No application of payments under this clause (f)
will cure any Event of Default, or prevent acceleration, or continued
acceleration, of amounts payable under the Loan Documents, or prevent the
exercise, or continued exercise, of rights or remedies of the Lenders hereunder
or thereunder or at Law or in equity.

THE
ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
17.1 Appointment and
Authorization. Subject
to Section 17.8,
each Lender hereby irrevocably appoints and authorizes the Administrative Agent
to take such action as the contractual representative on its behalf and to
exercise such powers under the Loan Documents as are delegated to the
Administrative Agent by the terms thereof or are reasonably incidental, as
determined by the Administrative Agent, thereto. This appointment and
authorization is intended solely for the purpose of facilitating the servicing
of the Loans and does not constitute appointment of the Administrative Agent as
trustee for any Lender or as representative of any Lender for any other purpose
and, the Administrative Agent shall take such action and exercise such powers
only in an administrative and ministerial capacity. In taking such
action and exercising such powers, the Administrative Agent shall use the same
degree of care as it normally employs with respect to similar types of loans in
which the Administrative Agent is the sole lender.
17.2 Administrative Agent and
Affiliates. KeyBank
(and each successor Administrative Agent in its individual capacity) has the
same rights and powers under the Loan Documents as any other Lender and may
exercise the same as though it were not the Administrative Agent, and the term
“Lender” or “Lenders” includes KeyBank in its individual
capacity. KeyBank (and each successor Administrative Agent in its
individual capacity) and its Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to
and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other business with
Borrower or any other member of the Glimcher Consolidated Group, as if it were
not the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the
Lenders. KeyBank (and each successor Administrative Agent in its
individual capacity) need not account to any other Lender for any monies
received by it for reimbursement of its costs and expenses as the Administrative
Agent hereunder, or for any monies received by it in its capacity as a Lender
hereunder, other than as required of any Lender hereunder. The
Administrative Agent shall not be deemed to hold a fiduciary or agency
relationship with any Lender and no implied covenants, functions,
responsibilities, duties, obligations or liabilities shall be read into this
Agreement or otherwise exist against the Administrative Agent.
17.3 Proportionate Interest in
any Collateral. The
Administrative Agent, on behalf of all the Lenders, shall hold in accordance
with the Loan Documents all items of collateral or interests therein received or
held by the Administrative Agent. Subject to the Administrative
Agent’s and the Lenders’ rights to reimbursement for their costs and expenses
hereunder (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other
professional services and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed
by the Administrative Agent or, upon the occurrence and during the continuation
of an Event of Default, a Lender) and subject to the application of payments in
accordance with Section 16.2(f),
each Lender shall have an interest in the Administrative Agent’s interest in
such collateral or interests therein.
17.4 Lenders’ Credit
Decisions. Each
Lender agrees that it has, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent, any other Lender or the directors, officers, agents,
employees or attorneys of the Administrative Agent or of any other Lender, and
instead in reliance upon information supplied to it by or on behalf of Borrower
and upon such other information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
independent credit analysis and decision to enter into this
Agreement. Each Lender also agrees that it shall, independently and
without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, any other Lender or the
directors, officers, agents, employees or attorneys of the Administrative Agent
or of any other Lender, continue to make its own independent credit analyses and
decisions in acting or not acting under the Loan Documents.
-65-
17.5 Action by Administrative
Agent.
(a) Absent
actual knowledge of the Administrative Agent of the existence of a Default, the
Administrative Agent may assume that no Default (other than the failure to make
a payment of principal or interest when due) has occurred and is continuing,
unless the Administrative Agent has received notice from Borrower stating the
nature of the Default or has received notice from a Lender stating the nature of
the Default and that such Lender considers the Default to have occurred and to
be continuing.
(b) The
Administrative Agent has only those obligations under the Loan Documents as are
expressly set forth therein.
(c) Except
for any obligation expressly set forth in the Loan Documents and as long as the
Administrative Agent may assume that no Default has occurred and is continuing,
the Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to, exercise its
discretion to act or not act, except that the Administrative Agent shall be
required to comply with the instructions of those Lenders authorized to instruct
the Administrative Agent from time to time under this Agreement and those
instructions shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent and all the Lenders,
provided that the Administrative Agent shall not be required to comply with such
instructions if to do so would be contrary to any Loan Document or to applicable
Law or would result, in the reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, in
substantial risk of liability to the Administrative Agent.
(d) The
Administrative Agent shall promptly forward to each Lender a copy of any written
notice the Administrative Agent may receive from the Ground Lessor, the General
Contractor, the Phase III Developers or any other third party indicating that
Borrower has failed to perform its obligations to such party or any other
material written notice of events or circumstances that may constitute an Event
of Default by Borrower hereunder. If the Administrative Agent has received a
notice specified in clause (a) or has actual knowledge of the existence of a
Default, the Administrative Agent shall promptly give notice thereof to the
Lenders and shall comply with the instructions of those Lenders then authorized
to instruct the Administrative Agent hereunder, provided that the Administrative
Agent shall not be required to comply with such instructions if to do so would
be contrary to any Loan Document or to applicable Law or would result, in the
reasonable judgment of the Administrative Agent, in substantial risk of
liability to the Administrative Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if such
Lenders fail, for five (5) Banking Days after the receipt of notice from the
Administrative Agent, to instruct the Administrative Agent, then the
Administrative Agent, in its reasonable discretion, may act or not act as it
deems advisable for the protection of the interests of the Lenders until the
Administrative Agent receives instructions to the contrary from such
Lenders.
-66-
17.6 Liability of Administrative
Agent. Neither
the Administrative Agent nor any of its directors, officers, agents, employees
or attorneys shall be liable for any action taken or not taken by them under or
in connection with the Loan Documents, except for their own gross negligence or
willful misconduct. Without limitation on the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent and its directors, officers, agents, employees and
attorneys:
(a) May
treat the payee of any Note as the holder thereof until the Administrative Agent
receives notice of the assignment or transfer thereof, in form satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent, signed by the payee, and may treat each Lender as the
owner of that Lender’s interest in the Obligations for all purposes of this
Agreement until the Administrative Agent receives notice of the assignment or
transfer thereof, in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, signed by
that Lender;
(b) May
consult with legal counsel (including in house legal counsel), accountants
(including in house accountants) and other professionals or experts selected by
it, or with legal counsel, accountants or other professionals or experts for the
Loan Parties or the Lenders, and shall not be liable for any action taken or not
taken by it in good faith in accordance with any advice of such legal counsel,
accountants or other professionals or experts;
(c) Shall
not be responsible to any Lender for any statement, warranty or representation
made in any of the Loan Documents or in any notice, certificate, report, request
or other statement (written or oral) given or made in connection with any of the
Loan Documents, except to the extent such statement, warranty or representation
is expressly made by the Administrative Agent;
(d) Shall
have no duty to ask or inquire as to the performance or observance by Borrower
or the Loan Parties of any of the terms, conditions or covenants of any of the
Loan Documents or to inspect any collateral or any Property, books or records of
the Loan Parties;
(e) Will
not be responsible to any Lender for the due execution, legality, validity,
enforceability, genuineness, effectiveness, sufficiency or value of any Loan
Document, any other instrument or writing furnished pursuant thereto or in
connection therewith (other than undertakings of the Administrative Agent in any
instruments executed by the Administrative Agent ) or any
collateral;
(f) Will
not incur any liability by acting or not acting in reliance upon any Loan
Document, notice, consent, certificate, statement, request or other instrument
or writing believed in good faith by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the
proper party or parties;
(g) Will
not incur any liability for any arithmetical error in computing any amount paid
or payable by Borrower or any other Loan Party thereof or paid or payable to or
received or receivable from any Lender under any Loan Document, including,
without limitation, principal, interest, commitment fees, Advances and other
amounts; provided that, promptly upon discovery of such an error in computation,
the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and (to the extent applicable) Borrower
and/or the other Loan Parties shall make such adjustments as are necessary to
correct such error and to restore the parties to the position that they would
have occupied had the error not occurred, including any adjustments to interest
payments or accrued interest, if necessary; and
-67-
(h) Have
not made nor do they now make any representations or warranties, express or
implied, nor do they assume any liability to the Lenders, with respect to the
creditworthiness or financial condition of the Loan Parties, the value of their
respective assets or the collectability of the Loans.
17.7 Indemnification. Each
Lender shall, ratably in accordance with its Percentage of the aggregate
Indebtedness then evidenced by the Notes, indemnify and hold the Administrative
Agent and its directors, officers, agents, employees and attorneys harmless
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or
nature whatsoever (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and
allocated costs of attorneys employed by the Administrative Agent) that may be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against it or them in any way relating to or
arising out of the Loan Documents (other than losses incurred by reason of the
failure of Borrower to pay the Indebtedness represented by the Notes) or any
action taken or not taken by it as the Administrative Agent thereunder, except
such as result from its own gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limitation on the foregoing, each Lender shall
reimburse the Administrative Agent upon demand for that Lender’s Percentage of
any out of pocket cost or expense incurred by the Administrative Agent in
connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery, amendment,
waiver, restructuring, reorganization (including a bankruptcy reorganization),
enforcement or attempted enforcement of the Loan Documents, to the extent that
any Borrower or any other Loan Party is required by Section 18.2 to
pay that cost or expense but fails to do so upon demand. Nothing in
this Section 17.7
shall entitle the Administrative Agent or any indemnitee referred to above to
recover any amount from the Lenders if and to the extent that such amount has
theretofore been recovered from Borrower or any other Loan Party. To
the extent that the Administrative Agent or any indemnitee referred to above is
later reimbursed such amount by Borrower or any other Loan Party, it shall
return the amounts paid to it by the Lenders in respect of such
amount.
17.8 Successor Administrative
Agent. The
Administrative Agent may resign as Administrative Agent upon reasonable notice
to the Lenders and Borrower effective not earlier than thirty (30) days after
such notice, upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Administrative
Agent. The Requisite Lenders may remove the Administrative Agent from
its capacity as Administrative Agent in the event of the Administrative Agent’s
willful misconduct or gross negligence. If the Administrative Agent
shall resign or be removed as Administrative Agent under this Agreement, the
Requisite Lenders shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent for the
Lenders, provided that any successor Administrative Agent which is not then also
a Lender shall require approval by Borrower so long as no Default or Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing (and such approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed). If no successor Administrative
Agent is appointed prior to the effective date of the resignation of the
Administrative Agent, the Administrative Agent may appoint, after consulting
with the Lenders, a successor Administrative Agent from among the
Lenders. Upon the acceptance of its appointment as successor
Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor Administrative Agent shall
succeed to all the rights, powers and duties of the retiring Administrative
Agent and the term “Administrative Agent” shall mean such successor
Administrative Agent and the retiring Administrative Agent’s appointment, powers
and duties as Administrative Agent shall be terminated. After any
retiring Administrative Agent’s resignation or removal hereunder as
Administrative Agent, the provisions of this Article 17, and
Sections 18.2,
18.10 and 18.21, shall inure to
its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was
Administrative Agent under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if no successor Administrative Agent has accepted appointment as
Administrative Agent by the date which is ninety (90) days following a retiring
Administrative Agent’s notice of resignation, the retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation shall nevertheless thereupon become effective and the
Lenders shall perform all of the duties of the Administrative Agent hereunder
until such time, if any, as the Requisite Lenders appoint a successor
Administrative Agent.
-68-
17.9 No Obligations of
Borrower. Nothing
contained in this Article 17 shall
be deemed to impose upon Borrower any obligation in respect of the due and
punctual performance by the Administrative Agent of its obligations to the
Lenders under any provision of this Agreement, and Borrower shall have no
liability to the Administrative Agent or any of the Lenders in respect of any
failure by the Administrative Agent or any Lender to perform any of its
obligations to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders under this
Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, where
any provision of this Agreement relating to the payment of any amounts due and
owing under the Loan Documents provides that such payments shall be made by
Borrower to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders, Borrower’s
obligations to the Lenders in respect of such payments shall be deemed to be
satisfied upon the making of such payments to the Administrative Agent in the
manner provided by this Agreement.
17.10 Additional
Agents. Neither
the Documentation Agent nor the Syndication Agent as designated on the cover of
this Agreement have any rights or obligations under the Loan Documents as a
result of such designation or of any actions undertaken in such capacity, such
parties having only those rights or obligations arising hereunder in their
capacities as a Lender.

MISCELLANEOUS
18.1 Cumulative Remedies; No
Waiver. The
rights, powers, privileges and remedies of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders provided herein or in any Note or other Loan Document are cumulative and
not exclusive of any right, power, privilege or remedy provided by Law or
equity. No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent
or any Lender in exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy may be, or may
be deemed to be, a waiver thereof; nor may any single or partial exercise of any
right, power, privilege or remedy preclude any other or further exercise of the
same or any other right, power, privilege or remedy. The terms and
conditions of Articles
6 and 7 hereof are inserted for the sole benefit of the Administrative
Agent and the Lenders; the same may be waived in whole or in part, with or
without terms or conditions, in respect of any Loan without prejudicing the
Administrative Agent’s or the Lenders’ rights to assert them in whole or in part
in respect of any other Loan.
18.2 Costs, Expenses and
Taxes. Borrower
shall pay within five (5) Banking Days after demand, accompanied by an invoice
therefor, the reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent in
connection with the negotiation, preparation, syndication, execution, delivery,
administration and interpretation of the Loan Documents and any amendment
thereto or waiver thereof. Following and during the continuation of
an Event of Default, Borrower shall also pay on demand, accompanied by an
invoice therefor, the reasonable costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders in connection with the refinancing, restructuring,
reorganization (including a bankruptcy reorganization) and enforcement or
attempted enforcement of the Loan Documents, and any matter related
thereto. The foregoing costs and expenses shall include filing fees,
recording fees, title insurance fees, appraisal fees, search fees, and other out
of pocket expenses and the reasonable fees and out of pocket expenses of any
legal counsel (including reasonably allocated costs of legal counsel employed by
the Administrative Agent or any Lender), independent public accountants and
other outside experts retained by the Administrative Agent or any Lender,
whether or not such costs and expenses are incurred or suffered by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in connection with or during the course of
any bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of any member of the Glimcher
Consolidated Group. Borrower shall pay any and all documentary and
other taxes, excluding (i) taxes imposed on or measured in whole or in part by
any Lender’s overall net income imposed on such Lender (including taxes on gross
income imposed in lieu of net income, minimum taxes or branch profits taxes) by
(A) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which such
Lender is organized or maintains its principal office or LIBOR Lending Office or
(B) any jurisdiction (or political subdivision thereof) in which such Lender is
“doing business” or (ii) any withholding taxes or other taxes based on gross
income imposed by the United States of America for any period with respect to
which any Lender has failed, for any reason, to provide Borrower with the
appropriate form or forms required by Section 18.20,
to the extent such forms are then required by applicable Laws to establish a
complete exemption, and all costs, expenses, fees and charges payable or
determined to be payable in connection with the filing or recording of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other instrument or writing to be
delivered hereunder or thereunder, or in connection with any transaction
pursuant hereto or thereto, and shall reimburse, hold harmless and indemnify on
the terms set forth in Section 18.10
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders from and against any and all loss,
liability or legal or other expense with respect to or resulting from any delay
in paying or failure to pay any such tax, cost, expense, fee or charge or that
any of them may suffer or incur by reason of the failure of any Party to perform
any of its Obligations. Any amount payable to the Administrative
Agent or any Lender under this Section 18.2
shall bear interest from the fifth Banking Day following the date of demand for
payment at the Default Rate.
-69-
18.3 Nature of Lenders’
Obligations. The
obligations of the Lenders hereunder are several and not joint or joint and
several. Nothing contained in this Agreement or any other Loan
Document and no action taken by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or any
of them pursuant hereto or thereto may, or may be deemed to, make the Lenders a
partnership, an association, a joint venture or other entity, either among
themselves or with Borrower or any other Loan Party. A default by any
Lender will not increase the Percentage of the Commitments attributable to any
other Lender. Any Lender not in default may, if it desires, assume in
such proportion as the nondefaulting Lenders agree the obligations of any Lender
in default, but is not obligated to do so. The Administrative Agent
agrees that it will use reasonable efforts (which will not include the payment
of money) either to induce the other Lenders to assume the obligations of a
Lender in default or to obtain another Lender, reasonably satisfactory to
Borrower, to replace such a Lender in default. A defaulting Lender’s
right to participate in the administration of the Loan Documents, including,
without limitation, any rights to consent to or direct any action or inaction of
the Administrative Agent or to vote on any matter presented to the Lenders shall
be suspended during the pendency of such Lender’s default.
18.4 Survival of Representations
and Warranties. All
representations and warranties contained herein or in any other Loan Document,
or in any certificate or other writing delivered by or on behalf of any one or
more of the Loan Parties pursuant to any Loan Document, will survive the making
of the Loans hereunder and the execution and delivery of the Notes, and have
been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent and each Lender,
notwithstanding any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender
or on their behalf.
18.5 Notices. Except
as otherwise expressly provided in the Loan Documents, all notices, requests,
demands, directions and other communications provided for hereunder or under any
other Loan Document must be in writing and must be mailed, telegraphed,
telecopied, dispatched by commercial courier or international courier, as
applicable, or delivered to the appropriate party at the address set forth on
the signature pages of this Agreement or other applicable Loan Document or, as
to any party to any Loan Document, at any other address as may be designated by
it in a written notice sent to all other parties to such Loan Document in
accordance with this Section. Except as otherwise expressly provided
in any Loan Document, if any notice, request, demand, direction or other
communication required or permitted by any Loan Document is given by mail it
will be effective on the earlier of (i) receipt or (ii) (A) with respect to
notices between parties located in the United States, the fourth Banking Day
after deposit in the United States mail with first class or airmail postage
prepaid or (B) with respect to notices given by or to a party not located in the
United States, the sixth Banking Day following the date of mailing; if given by
telegraph or cable, when delivered to the telegraph company with charges
prepaid; if given by telecopier, when sent; if dispatched by commercial courier,
on the scheduled delivery date; or if given by personal delivery, when delivered
(provided that if any such communication is received after normal business hours
or on a day that is not a Banking Day, it shall be deemed to have been received
on the next Banking Day following receipt). The Administrative Agent
and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices purportedly
given by or on behalf of Borrower and Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act
upon any notices purportedly given to them by or on behalf of the Administrative
Agent, even if (i) such notices were not made in a manner specified herein, were
incomplete or were not preceded or followed by any other form of notice
specified herein, or (ii) the terms thereof, as understood by the recipient,
varied from any confirmation thereof. Borrower shall indemnify the
Administrative Agent and each Lender from all losses, costs, expenses and
liabilities resulting from the reliance of such Person on each notice
purportedly given by Borrower, except to the extent of such Person’s gross
negligence.
-70-
18.6 Execution of Loan
Documents. Unless
the Administrative Agent otherwise specifies with respect to any Loan Document,
(a) this Agreement and any other Loan Document may be executed in any number of
counterparts and any party hereto or thereto may execute any counterpart, each
of which when executed and delivered will be deemed to be an original and all of
which counterparts of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, as the case may
be, when taken together will be deemed to be but one and the same instrument and
(b) execution of any such counterpart may be evidenced by a telecopier
transmission of the signature of such party. The execution of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document by any party hereto or thereto will not
become effective until counterparts hereof or thereof, as the case may be, have
been executed by all the parties hereto or thereto.
18.7 Binding Effect;
Assignment.
(a) This
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Loan Parties are a party are
and will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Loan Parties, the
Administrative Agent, each of the Lenders, and their respective successors and
assigns, except that, except for Permitted Transfers, the Loan Parties may not
assign their rights hereunder or thereunder or any interest herein or therein
without the prior written consent of all the Lenders, and any purported
assignment without such consent shall be null and void. Each Lender
represents that it is not acquiring its Note with a view to the distribution
thereof within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (subject to
any requirement that disposition of such Note must be within the control of such
Lender). Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security in
all or any portion of its Note or any other instrument evidencing its rights as
a Lender under this Agreement to secure obligations of such Lender, including
without limitation (i) any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
Federal Reserve Bank, and (ii) any pledge or assignment to any holders of
obligations owed, or security issued, by such Lender, including to any trustee
for, or any other representative of such holders, provided that no such pledge
shall release that Lender from its obligations hereunder or grant to such
Federal Reserve Bank or other pledgee or assignee the rights of a Lender
hereunder absent foreclosure of such pledge or assignment and any such pledge
shall be in conformance with the terms and conditions hereof.
-71-
(b) From
time to time following the Agreement Effective Date, each Lender may assign all
or any portion of its Commitment; provided that (i) such assignee, if not
then a Lender or an Affiliate of a Lender, shall require approval by the
Administrative Agent and (if no Event of Default then exists) Borrower (neither
of which approvals shall be unreasonably withheld or delayed), (ii) such
assignment shall be evidenced by a Commitments Assignment and Acceptance, a copy
of which, together with any Notes subject to such assignment, shall be furnished
to the Administrative Agent as hereinbelow provided, (iii) except in the case of
an assignment to an Affiliate of the assigning Lender, to another Lender or of
the entire remaining Commitment of the assigning Lender, the assignment shall
not assign a share of the Commitment that is equivalent to less than $5,000,000,
(iv) the assignment shall be of a constant, and not a varying, percentage of the
Assignor’s rights and obligations under this Agreement, and (v) the effective
date of any such assignment shall be as specified in the Commitments Assignment
and Acceptance, but not earlier than the date which is three (3) Banking Days
after the date the Administrative Agent has received the Commitments Assignment
and Acceptance unless otherwise agreed by the Administrative
Agent. Upon the effective date of such Commitments Assignment and
Acceptance, the assignee named therein shall be a Lender for all purposes of
this Agreement, with a Percentage and Commitment amount as therein (and herein,
if such assignee was already a Lender) set forth and, to the extent of the
portion of the Commitment assigned, the assigning Lender shall be released from
its further obligations under this Agreement. Borrower agrees that it
shall execute and deliver to such assignee Lender Notes evidencing that assignee
Lender’s Commitment, and to the assigning Lender, Notes evidencing the remaining
balance of such Lender’s Commitment.
(c) By
executing and delivering a Commitments Assignment and Acceptance, the assignee
thereunder acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Administrative Agent has not
made any representation or warranty and assumes no responsibility with respect
to any statements, warranties or representations made in or in connection with
this Agreement or the execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness
or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document; (ii) the
Administrative Agent has not made any representation or warranty and assumes no
responsibility with respect to the financial condition of the Loan Parties or
the performance by the Loan Parties of the Obligations; (iii) it has received a
copy of this Agreement, together with copies of the most recent financial
statements delivered pursuant to Section 15.1 and
such other documents and information as it has deemed appropriate to make its
own credit analysis and decision to enter into such Commitments Assignment and
Acceptance; (iv) it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent or any Lender and based on such documents and information
as it shall deem appropriate at the time, continue to make its own credit
decisions in taking or not taking action under this Agreement; (v) it appoints
and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such action and to exercise such
powers under this Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by this
Agreement; and (vi) it will perform in accordance with their terms all of the
obligations which by the terms of this Agreement are required to be performed by
it as a Lender.
-72-
(d) The
Administrative Agent shall maintain at the Administrative Agent’s Office a copy
of each Commitments Assignment and Acceptance delivered to it and a register
(the “Register”) of the names and address of each of the Lenders and the
Percentage applicable and Commitment amount held by each Lender, giving effect
to each Commitments Assignment and Acceptance. The Register shall be
available during normal business hours for inspection by Borrower or any Lender
upon reasonable prior notice to the Administrative Agent. After
receipt of a completed Commitments Assignment and Acceptance executed by any
Lender and an assignee and the Notes subject to such assignment, and receipt of
an assignment fee of $3,500 from such Lender or assignee (which fee shall be
imposed only once with respect to simultaneous transfers on a single day to
different Affiliates of such Lender), the Administrative Agent shall, promptly
following the effective date thereof, upon the request of any party, provide to
Borrower and the Lenders a revised Schedule
1.1 giving effect thereto. Borrower, the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders shall deem and treat the Persons listed as Lenders in the
Register as the holders and owners of the Commitments listed therein for all
purposes hereof, and no assignment or transfer of any such Commitment shall be
effective, in each case unless and until a Commitments Assignment and Acceptance
effecting the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been accepted by the
Administrative Agent and recorded in the Register as provided
above. Prior to such recordation, all amounts owed with respect to
the applicable Commitment shall be owed to the Lender listed in the Register as
the owner thereof, and any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at
the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent, is listed
in the Register as a Lender shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent
holder, assignee or transferee of such Commitment.
(e) Each
Lender may from time to time grant participations to one or more banks or other
financial institutions (including another Lender but excluding an Employee Plan)
in a portion of its Commitment; provided, however, that (i) such Lender’s
obligations under this Agreement shall remain unchanged, (ii) such Lender shall
remain solely responsible to the other parties hereto for the performance of
such obligations, (iii) the participating banks or other financial institutions
shall not be a Lender hereunder for any purpose except, if the participation
agreement so provides, for the purposes of Sections 3.7, 3.8, and 18.10 but only to the
extent that the cost of such benefits to Borrower does not exceed the cost which
Borrower would have incurred absent the participation, (iv) Borrower, the
Administrative Agent and the other Lenders shall continue to deal solely and
directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement, (v) the participation interest shall be
expressed as a percentage of the granting Lender’s Commitment as it then exists
and shall not afford such participant any rights or privileges under the Loan
Documents except as provided in clause (iii) above.
-73-
18.8 Right of
Setoff. If
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent or
any Lender (but in each case only with the consent of the Requisite Lenders and
subject to the provisions of Section 18.9)
may exercise its rights under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code and
other applicable Laws and, to the extent permitted by applicable Laws, apply any
funds in any deposit account maintained with it by Borrower and/or any Property
of Borrower in its possession against the Obligations. any and all
rights to require administrative agent or any lender to exercise its rights or
remedies with respect to any other collateral which secures the loan (if any),
prior to exercising its right of setoff with respect to such deposits, credits,
or other property of borrowers, are hereby, knowingly, voluntarily, and
irrevocably waived.
18.9 Sharing of
Setoffs. Each
Lender severally agrees that if it, through the exercise of any right of setoff,
banker’s lien or counterclaim against Borrower, or otherwise, receives payment
of the Obligations held by it that is ratably more than any other Lender,
through any means, receives in payment of the Obligations held by that Lender,
then, subject to applicable Laws: (a) the Lender exercising the right of setoff,
banker’s lien or counterclaim or otherwise receiving such payment shall
purchase, and shall be deemed to have simultaneously purchased, from each of the
other Lenders a participation in the Obligations held by the other Lenders and
shall pay to the other Lenders a purchase price in an amount so that the share
of the Obligations held by each Lender after the exercise of the right of
setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment shall be in the same
proportion that existed prior to the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s
lien or counterclaim or receipt of payment; and (b) such other adjustments and
purchases of participations shall be made from time to time as shall be
equitable to ensure that all of the Lenders share any payment obtained in
respect of the Obligations ratably in accordance with each Lender’s share of the
Obligations immediately prior to, and without taking into account, the payment;
provided that, if all or any portion of a disproportionate payment obtained as a
result of the exercise of the right of setoff, banker’s lien, counterclaim or
otherwise is thereafter recovered from the purchasing Lender by Borrower or any
Person claiming through or succeeding to the rights of Borrower, the purchase of
a participation shall be rescinded and the purchase price thereof shall be
restored to the extent of the recovery, but without interest (unless the Lender
from which such payment is recovered is required to pay interest thereon, in
which case each Lender returning funds to such Lender shall pay its pro rata
share of such interest). Nothing in the preceding sentence shall
require any Lender to share payments it may receive from Borrower, Guarantor or
any Affiliate of Guarantor on account of any loan or obligations due to such
Lender other than the Obligations described herein. Each Lender that purchases a
participation in the Obligations pursuant to this Section 18.9
shall from and after the purchase have the right to give all notices, requests,
demands, directions and other communications under this Agreement with respect
to the portion of the Obligations purchased to the same extent as though the
purchasing Lender were the original owner of the Obligations
purchased. Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements
and agrees that any Lender holding a participation in an Obligation so purchased
pursuant to this Section 18.9 may
exercise any and all rights of setoff, banker’s lien or counterclaim with
respect to the participation as fully as if the Lender were the original owner
of the Obligation purchased.
-74-
18.10 Indemnity by
Borrower. Borrower
agrees to indemnify, save and hold harmless the Administrative Agent and Lead
Arranger and each Lender and their respective directors, officers, agents,
attorneys and employees (collectively the “Indemnitees”) from
and against: (a) any and all claims, demands, actions or causes of action
(except a claim, demand, action, or cause of action for any amount excluded from
the definition of “Taxes” in Section 3.9(d))
if the claim, demand, action or cause of action arises out of or relates to any
act or omission (or alleged act or omission) of Borrower, the other Loan Parties
or any of their officers, directors or stockholders relating to the Commitments,
the use or contemplated use of proceeds of any Loan, or the relationship of
Borrower and the Lenders under this Agreement; (b) any administrative or
investigative proceeding by any Governmental Agency arising out of or related to
a claim, demand, action or cause of action described in clause (a) above; and
(c) any and all liabilities, losses, costs or expenses (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and the reasonably allocated costs of attorneys employed by any
Indemnitee and disbursements of such attorneys and other professional services)
that any Indemnitee suffers or incurs as a result of the assertion of any
foregoing claim, demand, action or cause of action; provided that no Indemnitee
shall be entitled to indemnification for any loss caused by its own negligence
or willful misconduct or for any loss asserted against it by another
Indemnitee. If any claim, demand, action or cause of action is
asserted against any Indemnitee, such Indemnitee shall promptly notify Borrower,
but the failure to so promptly notify Borrower shall not affect Borrower’s
obligations under this Section unless such failure materially prejudices
Borrower’s right to participate in the contest of such claim, demand, action or
cause of action, as hereinafter provided. Such Indemnitee may (and
shall, if requested by Borrower in writing) contest the validity, applicability
and amount of such claim, demand, action or cause of action and shall permit
Borrower to participate in such contest. Any Indemnitee that proposes
to settle or compromise any claim or proceeding for which Borrower may be liable
for payment of indemnity hereunder shall give Borrower written notice of the
terms of such proposed settlement or compromise reasonably in advance of
settling or compromising such claim or proceeding and shall obtain Borrower’s
prior written consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed). In connection with any claim, demand, action or cause of
action covered by this Section 18.10
against more than one Indemnitee, all such Indemnitees shall be represented by
the same legal counsel (which may be a law firm engaged by the Indemnitees or
attorneys employed by an Indemnitee or a combination of the foregoing) selected
by the Indemnitees and reasonably acceptable to Borrower; provided, that if such
legal counsel determines in good faith that representing all such Indemnitees
would or could result in a conflict of interest under Laws or ethical principles
applicable to such legal counsel or that a defense or counterclaim is available
to an Indemnitee that is not available to all such Indemnitees, then to the
extent reasonably necessary to avoid such a conflict of interest or to permit
unqualified assertion of such a defense or counterclaim, each affected
Indemnitee shall be entitled to separate representation by legal counsel
selected by that Indemnitee and reasonably acceptable to Borrower, with all such
legal counsel using reasonable efforts to avoid unnecessary duplication of
effort by counsel for all Indemnitees; and further provided that the
Administrative Agent (as an Indemnitee) shall at all times be entitled to
representation by separate legal counsel (which may be a law firm or attorneys
employed by the Administrative Agent or a combination of the
foregoing). Any obligation or liability of Borrower to any Indemnitee
under this Section 18.10
shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the repayment
of all Loans and the payment and performance of all other Obligations owed to
the Lenders.
18.11 Nonliability of the
Lenders. Borrower
acknowledges and agrees that:
(a) Any
inspections of any Property of Borrower or any other Loan Party made by or
through the Administrative Agent or the Lenders are for purposes of
administration of the Loan only and Borrower and such other Loan Parties are not
entitled to rely upon the same (whether or not such inspections are at the
expense of Borrower);
-75-
(b) By
accepting or approving anything required to be observed, performed, fulfilled or
given to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents,
neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be deemed to have
warranted or represented the sufficiency, legality, effectiveness or legal
effect of the same, or of any term, provision or condition thereof, and such
acceptance or approval thereof shall not constitute a warranty or representation
to anyone with respect thereto by the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders;
(c) The
relationship between Borrower and the Administrative Agent and the Lenders is,
and shall at all times remain, solely that of borrowers and lenders; neither the
Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstance be construed
to be partners or joint venturers of Borrower or any other Loan Party, neither
the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall under any circumstance be deemed
to be in a relationship of confidence or trust or a fiduciary relationship with
Borrower or any other Loan Party, or to owe any fiduciary duty to Borrower or
any other Loan Party; neither the Administrative Agent nor the Lenders undertake
or assume any responsibility or duty to Borrower or any other Loan Party, to
select, review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon or inform Borrower or any
other Loan Party, of any matter in connection with their Property or the
operations of Borrower or any other Loan Party; Borrower and such other Loan
Parties shall rely entirely upon their own judgment with respect to such
matters; and any review, inspection, supervision, exercise of judgment or supply
of information undertaken or assumed by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
in connection with such matters is solely for the protection of the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders and neither Borrower nor any other Person
is entitled to rely thereon; and
(d) The
Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall not be responsible or liable to any
Person for any loss, damage, liability or claim of any kind relating to injury
or death to Persons or damage to Property caused by the actions, inaction or
negligence of Borrower and/or any other Loan Party, and Borrower hereby
indemnifies and holds the Administrative Agent and the Lenders harmless on the
terms set forth in Section 18.10
from any such loss, damage, liability or claim.
18.12 No Third Parties
Benefited. This
Agreement is made for the purpose of defining and setting forth certain
obligations, rights and duties of Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders in connection with the Loans, and is made for the sole benefit of
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and the Administrative
Agent’s and the Lenders’ successors and assigns. Except as provided
in Sections
18.7 and 18.10 no other Person
shall have any rights of any nature hereunder or by reason hereof.
18.13 Confidentiality.
(a) Confidentiality. Each
Lender and the Administrative Agent (each, a “Lender Party”) hereby
agrees for itself only that, except as specifically set forth herein, such
Lender Party (i) shall not participate in or generate any press release or other
release of information to the general public relating to the Closing of the Loan
without the prior written consent of Borrower, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, (ii) hold the Confidential
Information in strict confidence in accordance with such Lender Party’s
customary procedures to prevent the misuse or disclosure of confidential
information of this nature and in accordance with safe and sound banking
practices, (iii) shall use the Confidential Information solely for the purposes
of underwriting the Loan or acquiring an interest therein, carrying out such
Lender Party’s rights or obligations under this Agreement, in connection with
the syndication of the Loan, the enforcement of the Loan Documents, or other
internal examination, supervision or oversight of the transactions contemplated
hereby as reasonably determined by such Lender Party, or as otherwise permitted
by the terms of this Section 18.13
(collectively, “Permitted Purposes”),
and (iv) shall not disclose the Confidential Information to any third party,
except as expressly authorized in this Agreement or with prior written consent
of Borrower. Each Lender Party shall promptly notify Borrower in the
event that it becomes aware of any loss or unauthorized disclosure of any
Confidential Information.
-76-
Each
Lender Party shall not have any obligations under this Agreement with respect to
a specific portion of the Confidential Information if such Lender Party can
demonstrate that such Confidential Information (i) was publicly available at the
time it was disclosed to such Lender Party, (ii) became publicly available
subsequent to the time it was disclosed to such Lender Party (except to the
extent such public availability was the result of such Lender Party’s
disclosure), (iii) was in or came into a Lender Party’s possession from a source
not known to such Lender Party (after reasonable inquiry) to be in breach of an
obligation of confidentiality owed to Borrower in making such disclosure to such
Lender Party, (iv) was in or comes into Lender Party’s possession free of any
obligation of confidence owed to Borrower at the time it was disclosed to such
Lender Party, or (v) was developed by the employees or agents of the Lender
Party without the use of the Confidential Information.
(b) Disclosures. Any
Lender Party or its legal counsel may disclose the Confidential Information (i)
to Borrower, other Lenders, the Administrative Agent or any of their respective
legal counsel or employees involved with the Loan, (ii) to its auditors in
connection with bank audits or regulatory officials having jurisdiction over
such Lender Party, (iii) to its legal counsel who need to know the Confidential
Information for the purposes of representing or advising the Lender Parties,
(iv) to its consultants, agents and advisors retained in good faith by such
Lender Party with a need to know such information in connection with a Permitted
Purpose or to otherwise advise or consult with such Lender Party, (v) as
required by Law or legal process (subject to the terms below), or in connection
with any legal proceeding to which that Lender Party and any Loan Party are
adverse parties (and Borrower hereby acknowledges and agrees 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”), each Lender is
required to obtain, verify and record information that identifies the Loan
Parties, which information includes the name and address of the Loan Parties and
other information that will allow such Lender to identify the Loan Parties in
accordance with the Act), (vi) to another potential Lender or participant in
connection with an assignment or proposed assignment to that Person of all or
part of that Lender Party’s interests hereunder or a participation interest in
its Notes, and (vii) to its directors, officers, employees and Affiliates who
need to know the Confidential Information for purposes of underwriting the Loan
or becoming a party to this Agreement, the syndication of the Loan, the
administration, interpretation, performance or exercise of rights under the Loan
Documents, the enforcement of the Loan Documents, or other internal supervision,
examination or oversight of the transactions contemplated hereby as reasonably
determined by such Lender Party, provided that any
Person to whom any of the Confidential Information is disclosed is informed by
such Lender Party of the strictly confidential nature of the Confidential
Information, and such Persons described in clauses (b)(iv) and
(vi) shall
agree in writing to be bound by confidentiality restrictions at least as
restrictive as those contained herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
a Lender Party may disclose Confidential Information to the extent such Lender
Party is requested or required by any Law or any order of any Governmental
Agency or self regulatory body or other legal process to make any disclosure of
or about any of the Confidential Information. In such event (except
with respect to banking regulators or auditors), such Lender Party shall, if
permitted by Law, promptly notify Borrower in writing so that Borrower may seek
an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this
Agreement (provided that if a
protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder has not been obtained, or
if prior notice is not possible, and a Lender Party is, in the opinion of its
counsel, compelled to disclose Confidential Information, such Lender Party may
disclose that portion of the Confidential Information which its counsel advises
it that such Lender Party is compelled to disclose, and provided further that
in any event, such Lender Party will not oppose action by Borrower to obtain an
appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential
treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information.) Each Lender Party
shall be liable (but only to the extent it is finally determined to have
breached the provisions of this Section 18.13(b))
for any actions by such Lender Party (but not any other Person) which are not in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 18.13(b).
-77-
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, Confidential Information shall not include, and

without limitation of any kind, any information with respect to the “tax
treatment” and “tax structure” (in each case, within the meaning of Treasury
Regulation Section 1.6011 4) of the transactions contemplated hereby and
all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are
provided to the Administrative Agent or any Lender relating to such tax
treatment and tax structure; provided that with respect to any document or
similar item that in either case contains information concerning the tax
treatment or tax structure of the transaction as well as other information, this
sentence shall only apply to such portions of the document or similar item that
relate to the tax treatment or tax structure of the Loans, and transactions
contemplated hereby.
(c) No Fiduciary
Duty. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to create or
give rise to any fiduciary duty on the part of the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders to Borrower.
(d) Separate
Action. Borrower covenants and agrees not to, and hereby
expressly waives any right to, raise as a defense, affirmative defense, setoff,
recoupment or otherwise against any Lender Party any claim arising from or
relating to an alleged breach of this Section 18.13 in
any action, claim or proceeding relating to a breach of the Loan Documents by
Borrower or other action to enforce or recover the Obligations, and covenant and
agree that any claim against a Lender Party arising from or relating to an
alleged breach of this Section 18.13 by

Assurances. Borrower
shall, at its expense and without expense to the Lenders or the Administrative
Agent, do, execute and deliver such further acts and documents as the Requisite
Lenders or the Administrative Agent from time to time reasonably require for the
assuring and confirming unto the Lenders or the Administrative Agent of the
rights hereby created or intended now or hereafter so to be, or for carrying out
the intention or facilitating the performance of the terms of any Loan
Document.
18.15 Integration. This
Agreement, together with the other Loan Documents, comprises the complete and
integrated agreement of the parties on the subject matter hereof and supersedes
all prior agreements, written or oral, on the subject matter
hereof. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this
Agreement and those of any other Loan Document, the provisions of this Agreement
shall control and govern; provided that the
inclusion of supplemental rights or remedies in favor of the Administrative
Agent or the Lenders in any other Loan Document shall not be deemed a conflict
with this Agreement. Each Loan Document was drafted with the joint
participation of the respective parties thereto and shall be construed neither
against nor in favor of any party, but rather in accordance with the fair
meaning thereof.
18.16 Governing
Law. Except
to the extent otherwise provided therein, each Loan Document shall be governed
by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the Laws of the State of Ohio

Provisions. Any
provision in any Loan Document that is held to be inoperative, unenforceable or
invalid as to any party or in any jurisdiction shall, as to that party or
jurisdiction, be inoperative, unenforceable or invalid without affecting the
remaining provisions or the operation, enforceability or validity of that
provision as to any other party or in any other jurisdiction, and to this end
the provisions of all Loan Documents are declared to be severable.
18.18 Headings. Article
and Section headings in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are included
for convenience of reference only and are not part of this Agreement or the
other Loan Documents for any other purpose.

designate with the approval of the Administrative Agent, subject to payment in
full by such assignee of all principal, interest and fees and any other amount
owing to such Lender through the date of assignment. The removal of

such Defaulting Lender for damages arising out of such Defaulting Lender’s
breach hereof.

party to this agreement hereby expressly waives any right to trial by jury of

consent.
18.25

Notes. Upon
receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to Borrower of the loss, theft,
destruction or mutilation of any Note, and in the case of any such loss, theft

applicable Note, Borrower will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a
replacement Note, identical in form and substance to the applicable Note and

all references in the Loan Documents to such Note shall be deemed to refer to

(a) The
Defaulting Lender’s rights to participate in the administration of the Loan and
the Loan Documents, including any right to vote upon, approve, disapprove,
consent to or direct any action of the Administrative Agent (other than
amendments to the Loan Documents directly affecting the Defaulting Lender’s
Commitment), shall be suspended and such rights shall not be reinstated unless
and until such Lender ceases to be a Defaulting Lender (and all decisions,
except the decision to remove the Administrative Agent, which are to be based on
a vote of the Requisite Lenders or all Lenders shall be resolved based upon a
decision or determination made by the required percentage of the Non-Defaulting
Lenders); provided, however, that if the Administrative Agent is a Defaulting
Lender, the Administrative Agent shall continue to have all rights provided for
in this Loan Agreement, as the Administrative Agent only, without any rights to

-80-
(b) Any
or all of the Non-Defaulting Lenders shall be entitled (but shall not be
obligated) to: (i) fund the aggregate amount that the Defaulting
Lender has failed to fund or pay to the Administrative Agent (such amount being
called the “Defaulted Amount”); and (ii) collect interest at the Default Rate on
the Defaulted Amount (after crediting all interest actually paid by Borrower on
the Defaulted Amount from time to time), either directly from the Defaulting
Lender or from amounts otherwise payable to the Defaulting Lender, for the
period from the date on which the Defaulted Amount was funded by the
Non-Defaulting Lenders until the date on which payment is made. If
the Administrative Agent has funded the Defaulted Amount, the Administrative
Agent shall be entitled to collect interest at the Default Rate from the
Defaulting Lender on the Defaulted Amount as set forth above, as if the
Administrative Agent were a Non-Defaulting Lender that had elected to fund the
Defaulted Amount.
(c) In
the event the Defaulted Amount is funded by any Non-Defaulting Lenders or the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 18.26(b)
above, the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loans, the Loan Documents and
proceeds thereof shall be subordinated to any Defaulted Amount funded by any
Non-Defaulting Lenders or the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 18.26(b)
above, plus all interest which may be due in accordance with Section 18.26(b)
above (to be applied pari passu among the Non-Defaulting Lenders (including the
Administrative Agent, unless the Administrative Agent is the Defaulting Lender)
funding the Defaulted Amount), without necessity for executing any further
documents; provided that such Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loan, the Loan
Documents and the proceeds thereof shall no longer be so subordinated if the
Defaulted Amount funded by the Non-Defaulting Lenders or the Administrative
Agent (and all interest which has accrued pursuant to Section 18.26(b)
above) shall be repaid in full.
(d) If,
following the payment in full of all amounts due pursuant to Section 18.26(c)
above to the Non-Defaulting Lenders (including the Administrative Agent, unless
the Administrative Agent is the Defaulting Lender) which have funded all or any
portion of any Defaulted Amount, there remains any unfunded Defaulted Amount
which has not been funded by the Non-Defaulting Lenders, the Administrative
Agent or the Defaulting Lender (“Unfunded Defaulted Amount”), then a portion of
the Defaulting Lender’s interest in the Loan, the Loan Documents and the
proceeds thereof equal to the amount of the Unfunded Defaulted Amount (together
with interest thereon at the rate applicable to the Defaulted Amount from time
to time pursuant to the Loan Documents) shall be subordinated to the interests
of the Non-Defaulting Lenders (including the Administrative Agent,
unless the Administrative Agent is the Defaulting Lender) unless and until such
Unfunded Defaulted Amount is funded either by one or more Non -Defaulting
Lenders, the Administrative Agent or the Defaulting Lender.
(e) Subject
to the provisions of Section 18.7
each Non-Defaulting Lender will have the right, but not the obligation, in its
sole discretion, to acquire at par all or a proportionate share (based on the
ratio of its Commitment to the aggregate amount of the Commitments of all of the
Non-Defaulting Lenders that elect to acquire a share of the Defaulting Lender’s
Commitment) of the Defaulting Lender’s Commitment, including without limitation
its proportionate share in the outstanding principal balance of the Loan, and
all rights and interests of the Defaulting Lender under this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents.
-81-
(f) Nothing
herein contained shall be deemed or construed to waive, diminish, limit, prevent
or estop the Administrative Agent, Borrower or any Lender from exercising or
enforcing any rights or remedies which may be available at law or in equity as a
result of or in connection with any default under this Agreement by a Lender
(including the right to bring suit against the Defaulting Lender to recover the
Defaulted Amount and interest thereon at the rate provided in this Section 18.26).

ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE
AGREEMENT
This
ASSIGNMENT AND ACCEPTANCE AGREEMENT (the “Assignment and Acceptance”) dated as
of ______________, 200_, is made by and between (“Assignor”) and
_________________ (“Assignee”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS,
Assignor is party to that certain Construction, Acquisition and Interim Loan
Agreement dated as of November __, 2007 (as it may have been or hereafter may be
amended, amended and restated, modified, supplemented or renewed from time to
time, the “Agreement”), among
Kierland Crossing, LLC (“Borrower”), the
several financial institutions from time to time party thereto (collectively,
including Assignor, “Lenders”), and
KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent for Lenders (in such
capacity, “Agent”). Capitalized
terms used in this Assignment and Acceptance and not defined herein have the
meanings given to them in the Agreement;
WHEREAS,
as provided under the Agreement, Assignor currently has a Commitment in the
amount shown on Schedule 1 attached
hereto, of which the amount shown on Schedule 1 has been
advanced and is outstanding as of the date of Schedule 1;
and
WHEREAS,
Assignor wishes to assign to Assignee a portion of its rights and obligations
under the Agreement in respect of its Commitment, in the amount shown on Schedule 1 as the
“Assigned
Amount” on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, and
Assignee wishes to accept the assignment of such rights and to assume such
obligations from Assignor on such terms and subject to such
conditions;
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained
herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Assignment and
Acceptance.
1.1 Subject
to the terms and conditions of this Assignment and Acceptance, (i) Assignor
hereby sells, transfers and assigns to Assignee, and (ii) Assignee hereby
purchases, assumes and undertakes from Assignor, without recourse and without
representation or warranty (except as provided in this Assignment and
Acceptance) the portion shown on Schedule 1 of (A) the
Commitment of Assignor and (B) all related rights, benefits, obligations,
liabilities and indemnities of Assignor under and in connection with the
Agreement, the other Loan Documents arising from and after the date
hereof.
1.2 With
effect on and after the Effective Date (as defined in Section 5 hereof),
Assignee shall be a party to the Agreement and shall succeed to all of the
rights and be obligated to perform all of the obligations of a Lender under the
Agreement and arising from and after the date hereof, including the rights with
respect to indemnification, with a Commitment equal to the Assigned Amount (plus
the amount of Assignee’s existing Commitment, if any) as shown on Schedule
1. Assignee agrees that it will perform in accordance with its
terms all of the obligations that it is required to perform as a Lender under
the Agreement arising from and after the date hereof. It is the
intent of the parties hereto that the Commitment of Assignor shall, as of the
Effective Date, be reduced by an amount equal to the Assigned Amount and
Assignor shall relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under
the Agreement to the extent such obligations have been assumed by Assignee;
provided,
however, that Assignor shall not relinquish its rights to be indemnified by
Borrower under Section
18.11 of the Agreement or any other similar indemnity provisions of the
Loan Documents to the extent such rights relate to the time prior to the
Effective Date.
1.3 After
giving effect to the assignment and assumption set forth herein, Assignor’s
Commitment as of the end of the Effective Date, and its Percentage, will be as
shown on Schedule
1.
1.4 After
giving effect to the assignment and assumption set forth herein, Assignee’s
Commitment as of the end of the Effective Date, and its Percentage, will be as
shown on Schedule
1.
2. Payments. As
consideration for the sale, assignment and transfer contemplated in Section 1 hereof,
Assignee shall pay to Assignor on the Effective Date in immediately available
funds an amount equal to the principal amount of all outstanding Advances
included in the Assigned Amount.
3. Re-allocation of
Payments. Any interest, fees and other payments accrued to the
Effective Date with respect to the Commitment of Assignor shall be for the
account of Assignor. Any interest, fees and other payments accrued on
and after the Effective Date with respect to the Assigned Amount shall be for
the account of Assignee. Each of Assignor and Assignee agrees that it
will hold in trust for the other party any interest, fees and other amounts that
it may receive to which the other party is entitled pursuant to the preceding
sentence and pay to the other party any such amounts that it may receive
promptly upon receipt.
4. Independent Credit
Decision. Assignee (a) acknowledges that it has received a
copy of the Agreement and the Exhibits thereto, together with copies of the most
recent financial statements referred to in Section 15.1 of the
