ARTICLE II. THE COMMITMENTS AND CREDIT EXTENSIONS
2.01 Committed Loans. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, each Lender
severally agrees to make loans (each such loan, a “Committed Loan”) to the Borrower from
time to time, on any Business Day during the Availability Period, in an aggregate amount not to
exceed at any time outstanding the amount of such Lender’s Commitment; provided,
however, that after giving effect to any Committed Borrowing, (i) the Total Outstandings
shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the
Committed Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding
Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding
Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s Commitment. Within the limits of
each Lender’s Commitment, and subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may
borrow under this Section 2.01, prepay under Section 2.06, and reborrow under this
Section 2.01. Committed Loans may be Base Rate Loans or Eurodollar Rate Loans, as further
provided herein.
2.02 Borrowings, Conversions and Continuations of Committed Loans.
(a) Borrower’s Election. Each Committed Borrowing, each conversion of Committed Loans
from one Type to the other, and each continuation of Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans shall be made
upon the Borrower’s irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent, which may be given by
telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than 11:00 a.m.
(i) three Business Days prior to the requested date of any Borrowing of, conversion to or
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans or of any conversion of Eurodollar Rate Committed
Loans to Base Rate Committed Loans, and (ii) on the requested date of any Borrowing of Base Rate
Committed Loans. Each telephonic notice by the Borrower pursuant to this Section 2.02(a)
must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the Administrative Agent of a written Committed Loan
Notice, appropriately completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Each
Borrowing of, conversion to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans shall be in a
principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof. Except as
provided in Sections 2.04(c) and 2.05(c), each Borrowing of or conversion to Base
Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of $1,000,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000
in excess thereof. Each Committed Loan Notice (whether telephonic or written) shall specify (i)
whether the Borrower is requesting a Committed Borrowing, a conversion of Committed Loans from one
Type to the other, or a continuation of Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans, (ii) the requested date of
the Borrowing, conversion or continuation, as the case may be (which shall be a Business Day),
(iii) the principal amount of Committed Loans to be borrowed, converted or continued, (iv) the Type
of Committed Loans to be borrowed or to which existing Committed Loans are to be converted, and (v)
if applicable, the duration of the Interest Period with respect thereto. If the Borrower fails to
specify a Type of Committed Loan in a Committed Loan Notice or if the Borrower fails to give a
timely notice requesting a conversion or continuation, then the applicable Committed Loans shall be
made as,
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
Page 29 |
or converted to, Base Rate Loans. Any such automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans shall be
effective as of the last day of the Interest Period then in effect with respect to the applicable
Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans. If the Borrower requests a Borrowing of, conversion to, or
continuation of Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans in any such Committed Loan Notice, but fails to
specify an Interest Period, it will be deemed to have specified an Interest Period of one month.
(b) Funding by Lenders. Following receipt of a Committed Loan Notice, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the amount of its Applicable Percentage
of the applicable Committed Loans, and if no timely notice of a conversion or continuation is
provided by the Borrower, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the details of any
automatic conversion to Base Rate Loans described in the preceding subsection. In the case of a
Committed Borrowing, each Lender shall make the amount of its Committed Loan available to the
Administrative Agent in immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later
than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in the applicable Committed Loan Notice. Upon
satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (and, if such Borrowing
is the initial Credit Extension, Section 4.01), the Administrative Agent shall make all
funds so received available to the Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent
either by (i) crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of Bank of America with the amount
of such funds or (ii) wire transfer of such funds, in each case in accordance with instructions
provided to (and reasonably acceptable to) the Administrative Agent by the Borrower;
provided, however, that if, on the date the Committed Loan Notice with respect to
such Borrowing is given by the Borrower, there are L/C Borrowings outstanding, then the proceeds of
such Borrowing, first, shall be applied to the payment in full of any such L/C Borrowings,
and second, shall be made available to the Borrower as provided above.
(c) Conversion or Continuation. Except as otherwise provided herein, a Eurodollar
Rate Committed Loan may be continued or converted only on the last day of an Interest Period for
such Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan. During the existence of a Default, no Loans may be requested
as, converted to or continued as Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans without the consent of the
Required Lenders.
(d) Notice of Interest Rate. The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the
Borrower and the Lenders of the interest rate applicable to any Interest Period for Eurodollar Rate
Committed Loans upon determination of such interest rate. At any time that Base Rate Loans are
outstanding, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders of any change in
Bank of America’s prime rate used in determining the Base Rate promptly following the public
announcement of such change.
(e) Number of Interest Periods. After giving effect to all Committed Borrowings, all
conversions of Committed Loans from one Type to the other, and all continuations of Committed Loans
as the same Type, there shall not be more than ten Interest Periods in effect with respect to
Committed Loans.

that the Borrower may from time to time request the Lenders to submit offers to make loans (each

(c) Submitting Competitive Bids.
(i) The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of each Bid
Request received by it from the Borrower and the contents of such Bid Request.
(ii) Each Lender may (but shall have no obligation to) submit a Competitive Bid

Competitive
|
|

Page 31 |
Bids were requested; (C) if the proposed Bid Borrowing is to consist of

the applicable Bid Request, or (E) is otherwise not responsive to such Bid Request.
Any Lender may correct a Competitive Bid containing a manifest error by submitting a
corrected Competitive Bid (identified as such) not later than the applicable time
required for submission of Competitive Bids. Any such submission of a corrected
Competitive Bid shall constitute a revocation of the Competitive Bid that contained
the manifest error. The Administrative Agent may, but shall not be required to,
notify any Lender of any manifest error it detects in such Lender’s Competitive Bid.
(iv) Subject only to the provisions of Sections 3.02, 3.03 and
4.02 and clause (iii) above, each Competitive Bid shall be irrevocable.
(d) Notice to Borrower of Competitive Bids. Not later than 10:00 a.m. (i) on the
requested date of any Bid Borrowing that is to consist of Absolute Rate Loans, or (ii) three
Business Days prior to the requested date of any Bid Borrowing that is to consist of Eurodollar
Margin Bid Loans, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of the identity of each Lender
that has submitted a Competitive Bid that complies with Section 2.03(c) and of the terms of
the offers contained in each such Competitive Bid.
(e) Acceptance of Competitive Bids. Not later than 10:30 a.m. (i) on the requested
date of any Bid Borrowing that is to consist of Absolute Rate Loans, and (ii) three Business Days

accept any Competitive Bid and may choose to reject all Competitive Bids. In the case of
acceptance, such notice shall specify the aggregate principal amount of Competitive Bids for each

|
AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (Camden Property Trust)
|
|
Page 32 |
(iii) the acceptance of offers may be made only on the basis of ascending
Absolute Rates or Eurodollar Bid Margins within each Interest Period; and
(iv) the Borrower may not accept any offer that is described in Section
2.03(c)(iii) or that otherwise fails to comply with the requirements hereof.
(f) Procedure for Identical Bids. If two or more Lenders have submitted Competitive
Bids at the same Absolute Rate or Eurodollar Bid Margin, as the case may be, for the same Interest
Period, and the result of accepting all of such Competitive Bids in whole (together with any other
Competitive Bids at lower Absolute Rates or Eurodollar Bid Margins, as the case may be, accepted
for such Interest Period in conformity with the requirements of Section 2.03(e)(iii)) would
be to cause the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the applicable Bid Borrowing to exceed
the amount specified therefor in the related Bid Request, then, unless otherwise agreed by the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and such Lenders, such Competitive Bids shall be accepted as
nearly as possible in proportion to the amount offered by each such Lender in respect of such
Interest Period, with such accepted amounts being rounded to the nearest whole multiple of
$1,000,000; however in no event shall such rounding up cause the applicable Bid Borrowing to exceed
the amount specified in the related Bid Request.
(g) Notice to Lenders of Acceptance or Rejection of Bids. The Administrative Agent
shall promptly notify each Lender having submitted a Competitive Bid whether or not its offer has
been accepted and, if its offer has been accepted, of the amount of the Bid Loan or Bid Loans to be
made by it on the date of the applicable Bid Borrowing. Any Competitive Bid or portion thereof
that is not accepted by the Borrower by the applicable time specified in Section 2.03(e)
shall be deemed rejected.
(h) Notice of Eurodollar Rate. If any Bid Borrowing is to consist of Eurodollar
Margin Loans, the Administrative Agent shall determine the Eurodollar Rate for the relevant
Interest Period, and promptly after making such determination, shall notify the Borrower and the
Lenders that will be participating in such Bid Borrowing of such Eurodollar Rate.
(i) Funding of Bid Loans. Each Lender that has received notice pursuant to
Section 2.03(g) that all or a portion of its Competitive Bid has been accepted by the
Borrower shall make the amount of its Bid Loan(s) available to the Administrative Agent in
immediately available funds at the Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 12:00 p.m. on the
date of the requested Bid Borrowing. Upon satisfaction of the applicable conditions set forth in
Section 4.02, the Administrative Agent shall make all funds so received available to the
Borrower in like funds as received by the Administrative Agent.
(j) Notice of Range of Bids. After each Competitive Bid auction pursuant to this
Section 2.03, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender that submitted a
Competitive Bid in such auction of the ranges of bids submitted (without the bidder’s name) and
accepted for each Bid Loan and the aggregate amount of each Bid Borrowing.

(F) the Letter of Credit contains any provisions for automatic
reinstatement of the stated amount after any drawing thereunder.
(iv) The L/C Issuer shall not amend any Letter of Credit if the L/C Issuer
would not be permitted at such time to issue the Letter of Credit in its amended
form under the terms hereof.
(v) The L/C Issuer shall be under no obligation to amend any Letter of Credit
if (A) the L/C Issuer would have no obligation at such time to issue the Letter of
Credit in its amended form under the terms hereof, or (B) the beneficiary of the
Letter of Credit does not accept the proposed amendment to the Letter of Credit.

(vi) The L/C Issuer shall act on behalf of the Lenders with respect to
any Letters of Credit issued by it and the documents associated therewith, and the
L/C Issuer shall have all of the benefits and immunities (A) provided to the
Administrative Agent in Article IX with respect to any acts taken or
omissions suffered by the L/C Issuer in connection with Letters of Credit issued by
it or proposed to be issued by it and Issuer Documents pertaining to such Letters of
Credit as fully as if the term “Administrative Agent” as used in Article IX
included the L/C Issuer with respect to such acts or omissions, and (B) as
additionally provided herein with respect to the L/C Issuer.
(b) Procedures for Issuance and Amendment of Letters of Credit; Auto-Extension Letters of
Credit.
(i) Each Letter of Credit shall be issued or amended, as the case may be, upon
the request of the Borrower delivered to the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent) in the form of a Letter of Credit Application, appropriately
completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Such Letter of
Credit Application must be received by the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent
not later than 10:00 a.m. at least two Business Days (or such later date and time as
the Administrative Agent and the L/C Issuer may agree in a particular instance in
their sole discretion) prior to the proposed issuance date or date of amendment, as
the case may be. In the case of a request for an initial issuance of a Letter of
Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail
reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer: (A) the proposed issuance date of the
requested Letter of Credit (which shall be a Business Day); (B) the amount thereof;
(C) the expiry date thereof; (D) the name and address of the beneficiary thereof;
(E) the documents to be presented by such beneficiary in case of any drawing
thereunder; (F) the full text of any certificate to be presented by such beneficiary
in case of any drawing thereunder; (G) the purpose and nature of the requested
Letter of Credit; and (H) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may reasonably
require. In the case of a request for an amendment of any outstanding Letter of
Credit, such Letter of Credit Application shall specify in form and detail
reasonably satisfactory to the L/C Issuer (A) the Letter of Credit to be amended;
(B) the proposed date of amendment thereof (which shall be a Business Day); (C) the
nature of the proposed amendment; and (D) such other matters as the L/C Issuer may
reasonably require. Additionally, the Borrower shall furnish to the L/C Issuer and
the Administrative Agent such other documents and information pertaining to such
requested Letter of Credit issuance or amendment, including any Issuer Documents, as
the L/C Issuer or the Administrative Agent may reasonably require.
(ii) Promptly after receipt of any Letter of Credit Application, the L/C Issuer
will confirm with the Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the
Administrative Agent has received a copy of such Letter of Credit Application from
the Borrower and, if not, the L/C Issuer will provide the Administrative Agent with
a copy thereof. Unless the L/C Issuer has received written notice from any Lender,
the Administrative Agent or any Loan Party, at
|
|
|
|
|
|
AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (Camden Property Trust)
|
|
Page 36 |
least one Business Day prior to the requested date of issuance or amendment of
the applicable Letter of Credit, that one or more applicable conditions contained in
Article IV shall not then be satisfied, then, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the L/C Issuer shall, on the requested date, issue a Letter of
Credit for the account of the Borrower (or the applicable Consolidated Subsidiary)
or enter into the applicable amendment, as the case may be, in each case in
accordance with the L/C Issuer’s usual and customary business practices.
Immediately upon the issuance of each Letter of Credit, each Lender shall be deemed
to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the L/C
Issuer a risk participation in such Letter of Credit in an amount equal to the
product of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such
Letter of Credit.
(iii) If the Borrower so requests in any applicable Letter of Credit
Application, the L/C Issuer may, in its sole discretion, agree to issue a Letter of
Credit that has automatic extension provisions (each, an “Auto-Extension Letter
of Credit”); provided that any such Auto-Extension Letter of Credit must
permit the L/C Issuer to prevent any such extension at least once in each
twelve-month period (commencing with the date of issuance of such Letter of Credit)
by giving prior notice to the beneficiary thereof not later than a day (the
“Non-Extension Notice Date”) in each such twelve-month period to be agreed
upon at the time such Letter of Credit is issued. Unless otherwise directed by the
L/C Issuer, the Borrower shall not be required to make a specific request to the L/C
Issuer for any such extension. Once an Auto-Extension Letter of Credit has been
issued, the Lenders shall be deemed to have authorized (but may not require) the L/C
Issuer to permit the extension of such Letter of Credit at any time to an expiry
date not later than the Letter of Credit Expiration Date; provided,
however, that the L/C Issuer shall not permit any such extension if (A) the
L/C Issuer has determined that it would not be permitted, or would have no
obligation, at such time to issue such Letter of Credit in its revised form (as
extended) under the terms hereof (by reason of the provisions of clause (ii) or
(iii) of Section 2.04(a) or otherwise), or (B) it has received notice (which
may be by telephone or in writing) on or before the day that is seven Business Days
before the Non-Extension Notice Date (1) from the Administrative Agent that the
Required Lenders have elected not to permit such extension or (2) from the
Administrative Agent, any Lender or the Borrower that one or more of the applicable
conditions specified in Section 4.02 is not then satisfied, and in each such
case directing the L/C Issuer not to permit such extension.
(iv) Promptly after its delivery of any Letter of Credit or any amendment to a
Letter of Credit to an advising bank with respect thereto or to the beneficiary
thereof, the L/C Issuer will also deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent a true and complete copy of such Letter of Credit or amendment.
(c) Drawings and Reimbursements; Funding of Participations.

Page 37 |
(i) Upon receipt from the beneficiary of any Letter of Credit of any notice of
a drawing under such Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall notify the Borrower and
the Administrative Agent thereof. Not later than 10:00 a.m. on the next Business
Day following the date of any payment by the L/C Issuer under a Letter of Credit
(each such date, an “Honor Date”), the Borrower shall reimburse the L/C
Issuer through the Administrative Agent in an amount equal to the amount of such
drawing. If the Borrower fails to so reimburse the L/C Issuer by such time, the
Administrative Agent shall promptly notify each Lender of the Honor Date, the amount
of the unreimbursed drawing (the “Unreimbursed Amount”), and the amount of
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage thereof. In such event, the Borrower shall be
deemed to have requested a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans to be disbursed on
the Honor Date in an amount equal to the Unreimbursed Amount, without regard to the
minimum and multiples specified in Section 2.02 for the principal amount of
Base Rate Loans, but subject to the amount of the unutilized portion of the
Aggregate Commitments and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other
than the delivery of a Committed Loan Notice). Any notice given by the L/C Issuer
or the Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section 2.04(c)(i) may be given
by telephone if immediately confirmed in writing; provided that the lack of
such an immediate confirmation shall not affect the conclusiveness or binding effect
of such notice.
(ii) Each Lender shall upon any notice pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i)
make funds available (and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral
provided for this purpose) for the account of the L/C Issuer at the Administrative
Agent’s Office in an amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the Unreimbursed
Amount not later than 12:00 p.m. on the Business Day specified in such notice by the
Administrative Agent, whereupon, subject to the provisions of Section
2.04(c)(iii), each Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have
made a Base Rate Committed Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative
Agent shall remit the funds so received to the L/C Issuer.
(iii) With respect to any Unreimbursed Amount that is not fully refinanced by a
Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans because the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 cannot be satisfied or for any other reason, the Borrower shall
be deemed to have incurred from the L/C Issuer an L/C Borrowing in the amount of the
Unreimbursed Amount that is not so refinanced, which L/C Borrowing shall be due and
payable on demand (together with interest) and shall bear interest at the Default
Rate. In such event, each Lender’s payment to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(ii) shall be deemed
payment in respect of its participation in such L/C Borrowing and shall constitute
an L/C Advance from such Lender in satisfaction of its participation obligation
under this Section 2.04.
(iv) Until each Lender funds its Committed Loan or L/C Advance pursuant to this
Section 2.04(c) to reimburse the L/C Issuer for any amount drawn under any
Letter of Credit, interest in respect of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such
amount shall be solely for the account of the L/C Issuer.

Page 38 |
(v) Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or L/C Advances to
reimburse the L/C Issuer for amounts drawn under Letters of Credit, as contemplated
by this Section 2.04(c), shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not
be affected by any circumstance, including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment,
defense or other right which such Lender may have against the L/C Issuer, the
Borrower or any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (B) the occurrence or
continuance of a Default, or (C) any other occurrence, event or condition, whether
or not similar to any of the foregoing; provided, however, that each
Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.04(c)
is subject to the conditions set forth in Section 4.02 (other than delivery
by the Borrower of a Committed Loan Notice). No such making of an L/C Advance shall
relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C
Issuer for the amount of any payment made by the L/C Issuer under any Letter of
Credit, together with interest as provided herein.
(vi) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the L/C Issuer any amount required to be paid by such Lender pursuant to
the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.04(c) by the time specified in
Section 2.04(c)(ii), then, without limiting the other provisions of this
Agreement, the L/C Issuer shall be entitled to recover from such Lender (acting
through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such amount with interest thereon for
the period from the date such payment is required to the date on which such payment
is immediately available to the L/C Issuer at a rate per annum equal to the greater
of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the L/C Issuer in accordance with
banking industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative,
processing or similar fees customarily charged by the L/C Issuer in connection with
the foregoing. If such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as
aforesaid), the amount so paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan
included in the relevant Committed Borrowing or L/C Advance in respect of the
relevant L/C Borrowing, as the case may be. A certificate of the L/C Issuer
submitted to any Lender (through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any
amounts owing under this clause (vi) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.
(d) Repayment of Participations.
(i) At any time after the L/C Issuer has made a payment under any Letter of
Credit and has received from any Lender such Lender’s L/C Advance in respect of such
payment in accordance with Section 2.04(c), if the Administrative Agent
receives for the account of the L/C Issuer any payment in respect of the related
Unreimbursed Amount or interest thereon (whether directly from the Borrower or
otherwise, including proceeds of Cash Collateral applied thereto by the
Administrative Agent), the Administrative Agent will distribute to such Lender its
Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the
Administrative Agent.

(ii) If any payment received by the Administrative Agent for the account of the
L/C Issuer pursuant to Section 2.04(c)(i) is required to be returned under
any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including pursuant to
any settlement entered into by the L/C Issuer in its discretion), each Lender shall
pay to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer its Applicable
Percentage thereof on demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from
the date of such demand to the date such amount is returned by such Lender, at a
rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from time to time in effect. The
obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive the payment in full of
the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(e) Obligations Absolute. The obligation of the Borrower to reimburse the L/C Issuer
for each drawing under each Letter of Credit and to repay each L/C Borrowing shall be absolute,
unconditional and irrevocable, and shall be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement under all circumstances, including the following:
(i) any lack of validity or enforceability of such Letter of Credit, this
Agreement, or any other Loan Document;
(ii) the existence of any claim, counterclaim, setoff, defense or other right
that the Borrower or any Consolidated Subsidiary may have at any time against any
beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit (or any Person for whom any
such beneficiary or any such transferee may be acting), the L/C Issuer or any other
Person, whether in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated
hereby or by such Letter of Credit or any agreement or instrument relating thereto,
or any unrelated transaction;
(iii) any draft, demand, certificate or other document presented under such
Letter of Credit proving to be forged, fraudulent, invalid or insufficient in any
respect or any statement therein being untrue or inaccurate in any respect; or any
loss or delay in the transmission or otherwise of any document required in order to
make a drawing under such Letter of Credit;
(iv) any payment by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of Credit against
presentation of a draft or certificate that does not strictly comply with the terms
of such Letter of Credit; or any payment made by the L/C Issuer under such Letter of
Credit to any Person purporting to be a trustee in bankruptcy, debtor-in-possession,
assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidator, receiver or other representative
of or successor to any beneficiary or any transferee of such Letter of Credit,
including any arising in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law;
or
(v) any other circumstance or happening whatsoever, whether or not similar to
any of the foregoing, including any other circumstance that might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the Borrower or any
Consolidated Subsidiary.

The Borrower shall promptly examine a copy of each Letter of Credit and each amendment thereto
that is delivered to it and, in the event of any claim of noncompliance with the Borrower’s
instructions or other irregularity, the Borrower will immediately notify the L/C Issuer. The
Borrower shall be conclusively deemed to have waived any such claim against the L/C Issuer and its
correspondents unless such notice is given as aforesaid.
(f) Role of L/C Issuer. Each Lender and the Borrower agree that, in paying any
drawing under a Letter of Credit, the L/C Issuer shall not have any responsibility to obtain any
document (other than any sight draft, certificates and documents expressly required by the Letter
of Credit) or to ascertain or inquire as to the validity or accuracy of any such document or the
authority of the Person executing or delivering any such document. None of the L/C Issuer, the
Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or
assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable to any Lender for (i) any action taken or omitted in
connection herewith at the request or with the approval of the Lenders or the Required Lenders, as
applicable; (ii) any action taken or omitted in the absence of gross negligence or willful
misconduct; or (iii) the due execution, effectiveness, validity or enforceability of any document
or instrument related to any Letter of Credit or Issuer Document. The Borrower hereby assumes all
risks of the acts or omissions of any beneficiary or transferee with respect to its use of any
Letter of Credit; provided, however, that this assumption is not intended to, and
shall not, preclude the Borrower’s pursuing such rights and remedies as it may have against the
beneficiary or transferee at law or under any other agreement. None of the L/C Issuer, the
Administrative Agent, any of their respective Related Parties nor any correspondent, participant or
assignee of the L/C Issuer shall be liable or responsible for any of the matters described in
clauses (i) through (v) of Section 2.04(e); provided, however, that
anything in such clauses to the contrary notwithstanding, the Borrower may have a claim against the
L/C Issuer, and the L/C Issuer may be liable to the Borrower, to the extent, but only to the
extent, of any direct, as opposed to consequential or exemplary, damages suffered by the Borrower
which the Borrower proves were caused by the L/C Issuer’s willful misconduct or gross negligence or
the L/C Issuer’s willful failure to pay under any Letter of Credit after the presentation to it by
the beneficiary of a sight draft and certificate(s) strictly complying with the terms and
conditions of a Letter of Credit. In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, the L/C
Issuer may accept documents that appear on their face to be in order, without responsibility for
further investigation, regardless of any notice or information to the contrary, and the L/C Issuer
shall not be responsible for the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or
assigning or purporting to transfer or assign a Letter of Credit or the rights or benefits
thereunder or proceeds thereof, in whole or in part, which may prove to be invalid or ineffective
for any reason.
(g) Applicability of ISP and UCP. Unless otherwise expressly agreed by the L/C Issuer
and the Borrower when a Letter of Credit is issued (including any such agreement applicable to an
Existing Letter of Credit), the rules of the ISP shall apply to each standby Letter of Credit.
(h) Letter of Credit Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the
account of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage a Letter of Credit fee (the
“Letter of Credit Fee”) for each Letter of Credit equal to the Applicable Rate (set forth
in the Letters of Credit column in “Applicable Rate”) times the daily amount available to
be drawn under such Letter of Credit; provided, however, any Letter of Credit Fees
otherwise payable for
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
Page 41 |
the account of a Defaulting Lender with respect to any Letter of Credit as to which such
Defaulting Lender has not provided Cash Collateral satisfactory to the L/C Issuer pursuant to this
Section 2.04 shall be payable, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable Law, to the
other Lenders in accordance with the upward adjustments in their respective Applicable Percentages
allocable to such Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 2.18(a)(iv), with the balance of
such fee, if any, payable to the L/C Issuer for its own account. For purposes of computing the
daily amount available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit
shall be determined in accordance with Section 1.06. Letter of Credit Fees shall be (i)
due and payable on the first Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and
December, commencing with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit,
on the Letter of Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand and (ii) computed on a quarterly
basis in arrears. If there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the daily
amount available to be drawn under each Letter of Credit shall be computed and multiplied by the
Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that such Applicable Rate was in
effect. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, upon the request of the
Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, all Letter of Credit Fees shall accrue at the
Default Rate.
(i) Fronting Fee and Documentary and Processing Charges Payable to L/C Issuer. The
Borrower shall pay directly to the L/C Issuer for its own account, quarterly, in arrears, the
applicable Fronting Fee with respect to each Letter of Credit, computed on the amount available to
be drawn under such Letter of Credit. Such Fronting Fee shall be due and payable on the tenth
Business Day after the end of each March, June, September and December in respect of the most
recently-ended quarterly period (or portion thereof, in the case of the first payment), commencing
with the first such date to occur after the issuance of such Letter of Credit, on the Letter of
Credit Expiration Date and thereafter on demand. For purposes of computing the daily amount
available to be drawn under any Letter of Credit, the amount of such Letter of Credit shall be
determined in accordance with Section 1.06. In addition, the Borrower shall pay directly
to the L/C Issuer for its own account the customary issuance, presentation, amendment and other
processing fees, and other standard costs and charges, of the L/C Issuer relating to letters of
credit as from time to time in effect. Such customary fees and standard costs and charges are due
and payable on demand and are nonrefundable.
(j) Conflict with Issuer Documents. In the event of any conflict between the terms
hereof and the terms of any Issuer Document, the terms hereof shall control.
(k) Letters of Credit Issued for Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding that a Letter of
Credit issued or outstanding hereunder is in support of any obligations of, or is for the account
of, a Subsidiary, the Borrower shall be obligated to reimburse the L/C Issuer hereunder for any and
all drawings under such Letter of Credit. The Borrower hereby acknowledges that the issuance of
Letters of Credit for the account of Subsidiaries inures to the benefit of the Borrower, and that
the Borrower’s business derives substantial benefits from the businesses of such Subsidiaries.
2.05 Swing Line Loans.
(a) The Swing Line. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Swing
Line Lender, in reliance upon the agreements of the other Lenders set forth in this Section
2.05,
|
|
|
|
|
|
AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (Camden Property Trust)
|
|
Page 42 |
shall make loans (each such loan, a “Swing Line Loan”) to the Borrower from time to
time on any Business Day during the Availability Period in an aggregate amount not to exceed at any
time outstanding the amount of the Swing Line Sublimit, notwithstanding the fact that such Swing
Line Loans, when aggregated with the Applicable Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of Committed
Loans and L/C Obligations of the Lender acting as Swing Line Lender, may exceed the amount of such
Lender’s Commitment; provided, however, that after giving effect to any Swing Line
Loan, (i) the Total Outstandings shall not exceed the Aggregate Commitments, and (ii) the aggregate
Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of any Lender, plus such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all L/C Obligations, plus such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage of the Outstanding Amount of all Swing Line Loans shall not exceed such Lender’s
Commitment, and provided, further, that the Borrower shall not use the proceeds of
any Swing Line Loan to refinance any outstanding Swing Line Loan. Within the foregoing limits, and
subject to the other terms and conditions hereof, the Borrower may borrow under this Section
2.05, prepay under Section 2.06, and reborrow under this Section 2.05. Each
Swing Line Loan shall be a Base Rate Loan. Immediately upon the making of a Swing Line Loan, each
Lender shall be deemed to, and hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees to, purchase from the
Swing Line Lender a risk participation in such Swing Line Loan in an amount equal to the product of
such Lender’s Applicable Percentage times the amount of such Swing Line Loan.
(b) Borrowing Procedures. Each Swing Line Borrowing shall be made upon the Borrower’s
irrevocable notice to the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent, which may be given by
telephone. Each such notice must be received by the Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent
not later than 12:00 p.m. on the requested borrowing date, and shall specify (i) the amount to be
borrowed, which shall be a minimum of $1,000,000, and (ii) the requested borrowing date, which
shall be a Business Day. Each such telephonic notice must be confirmed promptly by delivery to the
Swing Line Lender and the Administrative Agent of a written Swing Line Loan Notice, appropriately
completed and signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower. Promptly after receipt by the Swing
Line Lender of any telephonic Swing Line Loan Notice, the Swing Line Lender will confirm with the
Administrative Agent (by telephone or in writing) that the Administrative Agent has also received
such Swing Line Loan Notice and, if not, the Swing Line Lender will notify the Administrative Agent
(by telephone or in writing) of the contents thereof. Unless the Swing Line Lender has received
notice (by telephone or in writing) from the Administrative Agent (including at the request of any
Lender) prior to 1:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Swing Line Borrowing (A) directing the Swing
Line Lender not to make such Swing Line Loan as a result of the limitations set forth in the first
proviso to the first sentence of Section 2.05(a), or (B) that one or more of the applicable
conditions specified in Article IV is not then satisfied, then, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, the Swing Line Lender will, not later than 2:00 p.m. on the borrowing date
specified in such Swing Line Loan Notice, make the amount of its Swing Line Loan available to the
Borrower at its office by crediting the account of the Borrower on the books of the Swing Line
Lender in immediately available funds.
(c) Refinancing of Swing Line Loans.
(i) The Swing Line Lender at any time in its sole discretion may request, on
behalf of the Borrower (which hereby irrevocably authorizes the
|
|
|
|
|
|
AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (Camden Property Trust)
|
|
Page 43 |
Swing Line Lender to so request on its behalf), that each Lender make a Base
Rate Committed Loan in an amount equal to such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of the
amount of Swing Line Loans then outstanding. Such request shall be made in writing
(which written request shall be deemed to be a Committed Loan Notice for purposes
hereof) and in accordance with the requirements of Section 2.02, without
regard to the minimum and multiples specified therein for the principal amount of
Base Rate Loans, but subject to the unutilized portion of the Aggregate Commitments
and the conditions set forth in Section 4.02. The Swing Line Lender shall
furnish the Borrower with a copy of the applicable Committed Loan Notice promptly
after delivering such notice to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender shall make an
amount equal to its Applicable Percentage of the amount specified in such Committed
Loan Notice available to the Administrative Agent in immediately available funds
(and the Administrative Agent may apply Cash Collateral available with respect to
the applicable Swing Line Loan) for the account of the Swing Line Lender at the
Administrative Agent’s Office not later than 12:00 p.m. on the day specified in such
Committed Loan Notice, whereupon, subject to Section 2.05(c)(ii), each
Lender that so makes funds available shall be deemed to have made a Base Rate
Committed Loan to the Borrower in such amount. The Administrative Agent shall remit
the funds so received to the Swing Line Lender.
(ii) If for any reason any Swing Line Loan cannot be refinanced by such a
Committed Borrowing in accordance with Section 2.05(c)(i), the request for
Base Rate Committed Loans submitted by the Swing Line Lender as set forth herein
shall be deemed to be a request by the Swing Line Lender that each of the Lenders
fund its risk participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan and each Lender’s
payment to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Swing Line Lender
pursuant to Section 2.05(c)(i) shall be deemed payment in respect of such
participation.
(iii) If any Lender fails to make available to the Administrative Agent for the
account of the Swing Line Lender any amount required to be paid by such Lender
pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.05(c) by the time
specified in Section 2.05(c)(i), the Swing Line Lender shall be entitled to
recover from such Lender (acting through the Administrative Agent), on demand, such
amount with interest thereon for the period from the date such payment is required
to the date on which such payment is immediately available to the Swing Line Lender
at a rate per annum equal to the greater of the Federal Funds Rate and a rate
determined by the Swing Line Lender in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees
customarily charged by the Swing Line Lender in connection with the foregoing. If
such Lender pays such amount (with interest and fees as aforesaid), the amount so
paid shall constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in the relevant
Committed Borrowing or funded participation in the relevant Swing Line Loan, as the
case may be. A certificate of the Swing Line Lender submitted to any Lender
(through the Administrative Agent) with respect to any amounts owing under this
clause (iii) shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(iv) Each Lender’s obligation to make Committed Loans or to purchase and fund
risk participations in Swing Line Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(c)
shall be absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (A) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right which
such Lender may have against the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower or any other Person
for any reason whatsoever, (B) the occurrence or continuance of a Default, or (C)
any other occurrence, event or condition, whether or not similar to any of the
foregoing; provided, however, that each Lender’s obligation to make
Committed Loans pursuant to this Section 2.05(c) is subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 4.02. No such funding of risk
participations shall relieve or otherwise impair the obligation of the Borrower to
repay Swing Line Loans, together with interest as provided herein.
(d) Repayment of Participations.
(i) At any time after any Lender has purchased and funded a risk participation
in a Swing Line Loan, if the Swing Line Lender receives any payment on account of
such Swing Line Loan, the Swing Line Lender will distribute to such Lender its
Applicable Percentage thereof in the same funds as those received by the Swing Line
Lender.
(ii) If any payment received by the Swing Line Lender in respect of principal
or interest on any Swing Line Loan is required to be returned by the Swing Line
Lender under any of the circumstances described in Section 10.05 (including
pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Swing Line Lender in its discretion),
each Lender shall pay to the Swing Line Lender its Applicable Percentage thereof on
demand of the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such
demand to the date such amount is returned, at a rate per annum equal to the Federal
Funds Rate. The Administrative Agent will make such demand upon the request of the
Swing Line Lender. The obligations of the Lenders under this clause shall survive
the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.
(e) Interest for Account of Swing Line Lender. The Swing Line Lender shall be
responsible for invoicing the Borrower for interest on the Swing Line Loans. Until each Lender
funds its Base Rate Committed Loan or risk participation pursuant to this Section 2.05 to
refinance such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of any Swing Line Loan, interest in respect of such
Applicable Percentage shall be solely for the account of the Swing Line Lender.
(f) Payments Directly to Swing Line Lender. The Borrower shall make all payments of
principal and interest in respect of the Swing Line Loans directly to the Swing Line Lender.
2.06 Prepayments.
(a) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Administrative Agent, at any time or from time to
time voluntarily prepay Committed Loans in whole or in part without premium or penalty;
provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Administrative Agent not later than
|

Page 45 |
10:00 a.m. (A) three Business Days prior to any date of prepayment of Eurodollar Rate
Committed Loans and (B) on the date of prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans; (ii) any prepayment
of Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans shall be in a principal amount of $5,000,000 or a whole multiple
of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; and (iii) any prepayment of Base Rate Committed Loans shall be in
a principal amount of $500,000 or a whole multiple of $100,000 in excess thereof or, in each case,
if less, the entire principal amount thereof then outstanding. Each such notice shall specify the
date and amount of such prepayment and the Type(s) of Committed Loans to be prepaid and, if
Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans are to be prepaid, the Interest Period(s) of such Loans. The
Administrative Agent will promptly notify each Lender of its receipt of each such notice, and of
the amount of such Lender’s Applicable Percentage of such prepayment. If such notice is given by
the Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such
notice shall be due and payable on the date specified therein. Any prepayment of a Eurodollar Rate
Loan shall be accompanied by all accrued interest on the amount prepaid, together with any
additional amounts required pursuant to Section 3.05. Subject to Section 2.18,
each such prepayment shall be applied to the Committed Loans of the Lenders in accordance with
their respective Applicable Percentages.
(b) No Bid Loan may be prepaid without the prior consent of the applicable Bid Loan Lender.
(c) The Borrower may, upon notice to the Swing Line Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent), at any time or from time to time, voluntarily prepay Swing Line Loans in whole or in part
without premium or penalty; provided that (i) such notice must be received by the Swing
Line Lender and the Administrative Agent not later than 12:00 p.m. on the date of the prepayment,
and (ii) any such prepayment shall be in a minimum principal amount of $100,000 unless the
outstanding principal balance of the applicable Swing Line Loan is then less than $100,000. Each
such notice shall specify the date and amount of such prepayment. If such notice is given by the
Borrower, the Borrower shall make such prepayment and the payment amount specified in such notice
shall be due and payable on the date specified therein.
(d) If for any reason the Total Outstandings at any time exceed the Aggregate Commitments then
in effect, the Borrower shall immediately prepay Loans and/or Cash Collateralize the L/C
Obligations in an aggregate amount equal to such excess; provided, however, that
the Borrower shall not be required to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations pursuant to this
Section 2.06(d) unless after the prepayment in full of the Committed Loans and Swing Line
Loans the Total Outstandings exceed the Aggregate Commitments then in effect.
2.07 Termination or Reduction of Commitments. The Borrower may, upon notice to the
Administrative Agent, terminate the Aggregate Commitments, or from time to time permanently reduce
the Aggregate Commitments; provided that (i) any such notice shall be received by the
Administrative Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. five Business Days prior to the date of termination
or reduction, (ii) any such partial reduction shall be in an aggregate amount of $20,000,000 or any
whole multiple of $1,000,000 in excess thereof, (iii) the Borrower shall not terminate or reduce
the Aggregate Commitments if, after giving effect thereto and to any concurrent prepayments
hereunder, the Total Outstandings would exceed the Aggregate Commitments, (iv) if, after giving
effect to any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments, the Bid Loan Sublimit, the Letter of Credit
Sublimit or the Swing Line Sublimit exceeds the amount
|
|
|
|
|
|
AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (Camden Property Trust)
|
|
Page 46 |
of the Aggregate Commitments, such Sublimit shall be automatically reduced by the amount of
such excess, and (v) in no event shall Borrower be entitled to so reduce the Aggregate Commitments
below $100,000,000.00, unless Borrower has elected to terminate the Credit Commitments in full.
The Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Lenders of any such notice of termination or
reduction of the Aggregate Commitments. Any reduction of the Aggregate Commitments shall be
applied to the Commitment of each Lender according to its Applicable Percentage. All fees accrued
until the effective date of any termination of the Aggregate Commitments shall be paid on the
effective date of such termination.
2.08 Repayment of Loans.
(a) The Borrower shall repay to the Lenders on the Maturity Date the aggregate principal
amount of Committed Loans outstanding on such date.
(b) The Borrower shall repay each Bid Loan on the last day of the Interest Period in respect
thereof.
(c) The Borrower shall repay each Swing Line Loan on the earlier to occur of (i) the date ten
Business Days after such Loan is made and (ii) the Maturity Date.
2.09 Interest.
(a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) below, (i) each Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan
shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof for each Interest Period at a rate
per annum equal to the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus the Applicable Rate
(set forth in the Eurodollar Rate column in “Applicable Rate”); (ii) each Base Rate Committed Loan
shall bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date
at a rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate (set forth in the Base
Rate column in “Applicable Rate”); (iii) each Bid Loan shall bear interest on the outstanding
principal amount thereof for the Interest Period therefor at a rate per annum equal to the
Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period plus (or minus) the Eurodollar Bid Margin, or at the
Absolute Rate for such Interest Period, as the case may be; and (iv) each Swing Line Loan shall
bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the applicable borrowing date at a
rate per annum equal to the Base Rate plus the Applicable Rate (set forth in the Base Rate
column in the “Applicable Rate”).
(b) (i) If any amount of principal of any Loan is not paid when due (including any applicable
grace periods except if the date due is the stated maturity), whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise, then upon Administrative Agent’s request, such amount shall thereafter
bear interest at a fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable Laws.
(ii) If any amount (other than principal of any Loan) payable by the Borrower under any Loan
Document is not paid when due (including any applicable grace periods except if the date due is the
stated maturity), whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise, then upon
Administrative Agent’s request, such amount shall thereafter bear interest at a fluctuating
interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Laws.

|
|
|
AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (Camden Property Trust)
|
|
Page 47 |
(iii) Upon the request of the Required Lenders, while any Event of Default exists, the
Borrower shall pay interest on the principal amount of all outstanding Obligations hereunder at a
fluctuating interest rate per annum at all times equal to the Default Rate to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable Laws.
(iv) Accrued and unpaid interest on past due amounts (including interest on past due interest)
shall be due and payable upon demand.
(c) Interest on each Loan shall be due and payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date
applicable thereto and at such other times as may be specified herein. Interest hereunder shall be
due and payable in accordance with the terms hereof before and after judgment, and before and after
the commencement of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law.
2.10 Fees. In addition to certain fees described in subsections (h) and (i) of Section
2.04:
(a) Facility Fee. The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent for the account
of each Lender in accordance with its Applicable Percentage, a facility fee equal to the Applicable
Rate (set forth in the Facility Fee column in “Applicable Rate”) times the actual daily
amount of the Aggregate Commitments (or, if the Aggregate Commitments have terminated, on the
Outstanding Amount of all Committed Loans, Swing Line Loans and L/C Obligations), regardless of
usage, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2.18. The facility fee shall accrue at
all times during the Availability Period (and thereafter so long as any Committed Loans, Swing Line
Loans or L/C Obligations remain outstanding), including at any time during which one or more of the
conditions in Article IV is not met, and shall be due and payable quarterly in arrears on
the last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing with the first such
date to occur after the Closing Date, and on the last day of the Availability Period (and, if
applicable, thereafter on demand). The facility fee shall be calculated quarterly in arrears, and
if there is any change in the Applicable Rate during any quarter, the actual daily amount shall be
computed and multiplied by the Applicable Rate separately for each period during such quarter that
such Applicable Rate was in effect.
(b) Bid Loan Auction Fee. In consideration for Administrative Agent’s services in
administering the auctions for all Competitive Bids, Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent a
fee (a “Bid Loan Auction Fee”) in the amount of $2,500 for each Bid Request in excess of
two such Bid Requests in each calendar month, with such Bid Loan Auction Fee to be paid at the time
of submission by Borrower of each Bid Request after the second Bid Request in the applicable
calendar month, which fee shall be non-refundable (even if Borrower cancels the proposed
Competitive Bid auction or no offers are made by the Lenders).
2.11 Computation of Interest and Fees; Retroactive Adjustments of Applicable Rate. All
computations of interest for Base Rate Loans (including Base Rate Loans determined by reference to
the Eurodollar Rate) shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be,
and actual days elapsed. All other computations of interest shall be made on the basis of a
360-day year and actual days elapsed (which results in more interest being paid than if computed on
the basis of a 365-day year). Interest shall accrue on each Loan for the day on
|
|
|
|
|
|
AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (Camden Property Trust)
|
|
Page 48 |
which the Loan is made, and shall not accrue on a Loan, or any portion thereof, for the day on
which the Loan or such portion is paid, provided that any Loan that is repaid on the same
day on which it is made shall, subject to Section 2.13(a), bear interest for one day. All
fees shall be made on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as the case may be and actual days
elapsed. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or fee hereunder shall
be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.
2.12 Evidence of Debt.
(a) The Credit Extensions made by each Lender shall be evidenced by one or more accounts or
records maintained by such Lender and by the Administrative Agent in the ordinary course of
business. The accounts or records maintained by the Administrative Agent and each Lender shall be
conclusive absent manifest error of the amount of the Credit Extensions made by the Lenders to the
Borrower and the interest and payments thereon. Any failure to so record or any error in doing so
shall not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the Borrower hereunder to pay any
amount owing with respect to the Obligations. In the event of any conflict between the accounts
and records maintained by any Lender and the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent in
respect of such matters, the accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the
absence of manifest error. Upon the request of any Lender made through the Administrative Agent,
the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such Lender (through the Administrative Agent) a Note,
which shall evidence such Lender’s Loans in addition to such accounts or records. Each Lender may
attach schedules to its Note and endorse thereon the date, Type (if applicable), amount and
maturity of its Loans and payments with respect thereto.
(b) In addition to the accounts and records referred to in subsection (a), each Lender and the
Administrative Agent shall maintain in accordance with its usual practice accounts or records
evidencing the purchases and sales by such Lender of participations in Letters of Credit and Swing
Line Loans. In the event of any conflict between the accounts and records maintained by the
Administrative Agent and the accounts and records of any Lender in respect of such matters, the
accounts and records of the Administrative Agent shall control in the absence of manifest error.
2.13 Payments Generally; Administrative Agent’s Clawback.
(a) General. All payments to be made by the Borrower shall be made without condition
or deduction for any counterclaim, defense, recoupment or setoff. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, all payments by the Borrower hereunder shall be made to the Administrative Agent,
for the account of the respective Lenders to which such payment is owed, at the Administrative
Agent’s Office in Dollars and in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date
specified herein. The Administrative Agent will promptly distribute to each Lender its Applicable
Percentage (or other applicable share as provided herein) of such payment in like funds as received
by wire transfer to such Lender’s Lending Office. All payments received by the Administrative
Agent after 1:00 p.m. shall be deemed received on the next succeeding Business Day and any
applicable interest or fee shall continue to accrue. If any payment to be made by the Borrower
shall come due on a day other than a Business Day,
|
|
|
|
|
|
AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (Camden Property Trust)
|
|
Page 49 |
payment shall be made on the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall be
reflected in computing interest or fees, as the case may be.
(b) (i) Funding by Lenders; Presumption by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from a Lender prior to the proposed date of any
Committed Borrowing of Eurodollar Rate Loans (or, in the case of any Committed Borrowing of Base
Rate Loans, prior to 11:00 a.m. on the date of such Committed Borrowing) that such Lender will not
make available to the Administrative Agent such Lender’s share of such Committed Borrowing, the
Administrative Agent may assume that such Lender has made such share available on such date in
accordance with Section 2.02 (or, in the case of a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans,
that such Lender has made such share available in accordance with and at the time required by
Section 2.02) and may, in reliance upon such assumption, make available to the Borrower a
corresponding amount. In such event, if a Lender has not in fact made its share of the applicable
Committed Borrowing available to the Administrative Agent, then the applicable Lender and the
Borrower severally agree to pay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding
amount in immediately available funds with interest thereon, for each day from and including the
date such amount is made available to the Borrower to but excluding the date of payment to the
Administrative Agent, at (A) in the case of a payment to be made by such Lender, the greater of the
Federal Funds Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking
industry rules on interbank compensation, plus any administrative, processing or similar fees
customarily charged by the Administrative Agent in connection with the foregoing, and (B) in the
case of a payment to be made by the Borrower, the interest rate applicable to such Committed
Borrowing. If the Borrower and such Lender shall pay such interest to the Administrative Agent for
the same or an overlapping period, the Administrative Agent shall promptly remit to the Borrower
the amount of such interest paid by the Borrower for such period. If such Lender pays its share of
the applicable Committed Borrowing to the Administrative Agent, then the amount so paid shall
constitute such Lender’s Committed Loan included in such Committed Borrowing. Any payment by the
Borrower shall be without prejudice to any claim the Borrower may have against a Lender that shall
have failed to make such payment to the Administrative Agent.
(ii) Payments by Borrower; Presumptions by Administrative Agent. Unless the
Administrative Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower prior to the date on which any
payment is due to the Administrative Agent for the account of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer
hereunder that the Borrower will not make such payment, the Administrative Agent may assume that
the Borrower has made such payment on such date in accordance herewith and may, in reliance upon
such assumption, distribute to the Lenders or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the amount due.
In such event, if the Borrower has not in fact made such payment, then each of the Lenders or the
L/C Issuer, as the case may be, severally agrees to repay to the Administrative Agent forthwith on
demand the amount so distributed to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, in immediately available funds
with interest thereon, for each day from and including the date such amount is distributed to it to
but excluding the date of payment to the Administrative Agent, at the greater of the Federal Funds
Rate and a rate determined by the Administrative Agent in accordance with banking industry rules on
interbank compensation.
A notice of the Administrative Agent to any Lender or the Borrower with respect to any amount
owing under this subsection (b) shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

(c) Failure to Satisfy Conditions Precedent. If any Lender makes available to the
Administrative Agent funds for any Loan to be made by such Lender as provided in the foregoing
provisions of this Article II, and such funds are not made available to the Borrower by the
Administrative Agent because the conditions to the applicable Credit Extension set forth in
Article IV are not satisfied or waived in accordance with the terms hereof, the
Administrative Agent shall return such funds (in like funds as received from such Lender) to such
Lender, without interest.
(d) Obligations of Lenders Several. The obligations of the Lenders hereunder to make
Committed Loans, to fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans and to make
payments pursuant to Section 10.04(c) are several and not joint. The failure of any Lender
to make any Committed Loan, to fund any such participation or to make any payment under Section
10.04(c) on any date required hereunder shall not relieve any other Lender of its corresponding
obligation to do so on such date, and no Lender shall be responsible for the failure of any other
Lender to so make its Committed Loan, to purchase its participation or to make its payment under
Section 10.04(c).
(e) Funding Source. Nothing herein shall be deemed to obligate any Lender to obtain
the funds for any Loan in any particular place or manner or to constitute a representation by any
Lender that it has obtained or will obtain the funds for any Loan in any particular place or
manner.
2.14 Sharing of Payments by Lenders. If any Lender shall, by exercising any right of setoff
or counterclaim or otherwise, obtain payment in respect of any principal of or interest on any of
the Committed Loans made by it, or the participations in L/C Obligations or in Swing Line Loans
held by it resulting in such Lender’s receiving payment of a proportion of the aggregate amount of
such Committed Loans or participations and accrued interest thereon greater than its pro rata share
thereof as provided herein, then the Lender receiving such greater proportion shall (a) notify the
Administrative Agent of such fact, and (b) purchase (for cash at face value) participations in the
Committed Loans and subparticipations in L/C Obligations and Swing Line Loans of the other Lenders,
or make such other adjustments as shall be equitable, so that the benefit of all such payments
shall be shared by the Lenders ratably in accordance with the aggregate amount of principal of and
accrued interest on their respective Committed Loans and other amounts owing them, provided
that:
(i) if any such participations or subparticipations are purchased and all or any portion of
the payment giving rise thereto is recovered, such participations or subparticipations shall be
rescinded and the purchase price restored to the extent of such recovery, without interest; and
(ii) the provisions of this Section shall not be construed to apply to (x) any payment made by
or on behalf of the Borrower pursuant to and in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement
(including the application of funds arising from the existence of a Defaulting Lender), (y) the
application of Cash Collateral provided for in Section 2.17, or (z) any payment obtained by
a Lender as consideration for the assignment of or sale of a participation in any of its Committed
Loans or subparticipations in L/C Obligations or Swing Line Loans to any
|
|
|
|
|
|
AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (Camden Property Trust)
|
|
Page 51 |
assignee or participant, other than an assignment to the Borrower or any Consolidated
Subsidiary thereof (as to which the provisions of this Section shall apply).
Each Loan Party consents to the foregoing and agrees, to the extent it may effectively do so
under applicable law, that any Lender acquiring a participation pursuant to the foregoing
arrangements may exercise against such Loan Party rights of setoff and counterclaim with respect to
such participation as fully as if such Lender were a direct creditor of such Loan Party in the
amount of such participation.
2.15 Extension of Maturity Date. Borrower shall have the option (the “Extension
Option”) to extend the Loans by extending the Maturity Date for a one-year period from and
after the initial Maturity Date of September 22, 2015, such Extension Option being exercisable only
once as provided below, and subject to satisfaction of each of the following conditions:
(a) Administrative Agent shall have received written notice of Borrower’s election to exercise
the Extension Option at least thirty (30) but no more than one hundred twenty (120) days before the
Maturity Date (as then in effect).
(b) There shall exist no Default or Event of Default at the time Borrower elects to exercise
the Extension Option or at the Maturity Date (as then in effect).
(c) Borrower and each Guarantor Subsidiary shall have executed and delivered to Administrative
Agent a modification and extension agreement, confirming that the entity documents for the Borrower
and Guarantor Subsidiaries previously delivered to Administrative Agent are still in force and
effect, without modification, except to the extent such changes are (i) permitted under the terms
of this Agreement, (ii) modifications of a ministerial nature, or (iii) otherwise approved by the
Required Lenders, and such other documents as are reasonably requested by Administrative Agent to
properly document the extension.
(d) Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each Lender in accordance
with its Applicable Percentage as of the effective date of the extension, an additional
non-refundable commitment fee in the amount of 0.20% of the Aggregate Commitments (the
“Extension Fee”) in consideration for their Commitment until the extended Maturity Date,
which Extension Fee shall be due and payable not later than the Maturity Date in effect immediately
prior to the delivery by Borrower of the notice of its exercise of the Extension Option. As of the
date of the Borrower’s delivery of written notice regarding the Extension Option, the Extension Fee
will have been earned in full and be a bona fide commitment fee intended as reasonable compensation
to Lenders for their Commitment until the extended Maturity Date.
(e) The Borrower shall pay to Administrative Agent all reasonable costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in connection with such extension and the
documentation thereof.
(f) During the extended term, all terms and conditions of the Loan Documents (including but
not limited to interest rates and payments) pertaining to the Loans shall continue to apply;
provided, however, that the term “Maturity Date” and all references to such term in this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents shall mean and refer to the extended Maturity Date which shall be one
year from the Maturity Date as then in effect.
|
|
|

|

Page 52 |
All references in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the exercise of the Extension
Option shall be deemed to refer to satisfaction of all conditions set forth above.
2.16 Increase in Commitments.
(a) Request for Increase. Provided there exists no Default, upon notice to the
Administrative Agent (which shall promptly notify the Lenders), the Borrower may on a one-time
basis, request an increase in the Aggregate Commitments not exceeding $250,000,000;
provided that any such request for an increase shall be in a minimum amount of $10,000,000.
At the time of sending such notice, the Borrower (in consultation with the Administrative Agent)
shall specify the time period within which each Lender is requested to respond (which shall in no
event be less than ten Business Days from the date of delivery of such notice to the Lenders).
(b) Lender Elections to Increase. Each Lender shall notify the Administrative Agent
within such time period whether or not it agrees to increase its Commitment and, if so, whether by
an amount equal to, greater than, or less than its Applicable Percentage of such requested
increase. Any Lender not responding within such time period shall be deemed to have declined to
increase its Commitment.
(c) Notification by Administrative Agent; Additional Lenders. The Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of the Lenders’ responses to each request made
hereunder. To achieve the full amount of a requested increase and subject to the approval of the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender (which approvals shall not be
unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), the Borrower may also invite additional Eligible
Assignees to become Lenders pursuant to a joinder agreement in form and substance satisfactory to
the Administrative Agent and its counsel.
(d) Effective Date and Allocations. If the Aggregate Commitments are increased in
accordance with this Section, the Administrative Agent and the Borrower shall determine the
effective date (the “Increase Effective Date”) and the final allocation of such increase.
The Administrative Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower and the Lenders of the final allocation
of such increase and the Increase Effective Date.
(e) Conditions to Effectiveness of Increase. As a condition precedent to such
increase, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a certificate of each Loan Party
dated as of the Increase Effective Date (in sufficient copies for each Lender) signed by a
Responsible Officer of such Loan Party (x) certifying and attaching the resolutions adopted by such
Loan Party approving or consenting to such increase, and (y) in the case of the Borrower,
certifying that, before and after giving effect to such increase, (A) the representations and
warranties contained in Article V and the other Loan Documents are true and correct in all
material respects on and as of the Increase Effective Date, except to the extent that such
representations and warranties specifically refer to an earlier date, in which case they are true
and correct in all material respects as of such earlier date, and except that for purposes of this
Section 2.16, the representations and warranties contained in subsections (a) and (b) of
Section 5.05 shall be deemed to refer to the most recent statements furnished pursuant to
clauses (a) and (b), respectively, of Section 6.01, and (B) no Default exists. The
Borrower shall prepay any Committed Loans outstanding on the Increase Effective Date (and pay any
additional amounts
|
|
|
|
|
|
AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (Camden Property Trust)
|
|
Page 53 |
required pursuant to Section 3.05) to the extent necessary to keep the outstanding
Committed Loans ratable with any revised Applicable Percentages arising from any nonratable
increase in the Commitments under this Section.
(f) Conflicting Provisions. This Section shall supersede any provisions in
Section 2.14 or 10.01 to the contrary.
2.17 Cash Collateral.
(a) Certain Credit Support Events/Instances. Upon the request of the Administrative
Agent or the L/C Issuer (i) if the L/C Issuer has honored any full or partial drawing request under
any Letter of Credit and such drawing has resulted in an L/C Borrowing which Borrower has not
reimbursed in the time and manner required by this Agreement, or (ii) if, as of thirty (30) days
prior to the Maturity Date, any L/C Obligation for any reason remains outstanding, the Borrower
shall, in each case, immediately Cash Collateralize the then Outstanding Amount of all L/C
Obligations. At any time that there shall exist a Defaulting Lender, immediately upon the request
of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall deliver to
the Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover the Fronting Exposure
applicable to such Defaulting Lender (after giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv) and any
Cash Collateral provided by the Defaulting Lender). In addition to the foregoing, prior to, and as
a condition to L/C Issuer’s issuance of a Letter of Credit with an expiry after the Maturity Date,
Borrower shall be required to Cash Collateralize such Letter of Credit by delivering to
Administrative Agent Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to cover all L/C Post-Maturity
Exposure.
(b) Grant of Security Interest. All Cash Collateral (other than credit support not
constituting funds subject to deposit) shall be maintained in blocked, non-interest bearing deposit
accounts at Bank of America. The Borrower, and to the extent provided by any Lender, such Lender,
hereby grants to (and subjects to the control of) the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders (including the Swing Line Lender), and agrees
to maintain, a first priority security interest in all such cash, deposit accounts and all balances
therein, and all other property so provided as collateral pursuant hereto, and in all proceeds of
the foregoing, all as security for the obligations to which such Cash Collateral may be applied
pursuant to Section 2.17(c). If at any time the Administrative Agent determines that Cash
Collateral is subject to any right or claim of any Person other than the Administrative Agent as
herein provided, or that the total amount of such Cash Collateral is less than the applicable
Fronting Exposure, L/C Post-Maturity Exposure and other obligations secured thereby, the Borrower
or the relevant Defaulting Lender will, promptly upon demand by the Administrative Agent, pay or
provide to the Administrative Agent additional Cash Collateral in an amount sufficient to eliminate
such deficiency.
(c) Application. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, Cash Collateral provided under any of this Section 2.17 or Sections
2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.18 or 8.03 in respect of Letters of Credit
or Swing Line Loans shall be held and applied to the satisfaction of the specific L/C Obligations,
Swing Line Loans, obligations to fund participations therein (including, as to Cash Collateral
provided by a Defaulting Lender, any interest accrued
|
|
|
|
|
|
AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (Camden Property Trust)
|
|
Page 54 |
on such obligation) and other obligations for which the Cash Collateral was so provided, prior
to any other application of such property as may be provided for herein.
(d) Release. Cash Collateral (or the appropriate portion thereof) provided to reduce
Fronting Exposure, L/C Post-Maturity Exposure or other obligations shall be released promptly
following (i) the elimination of the applicable Fronting Exposure, L/C Post-Maturity Exposure or
other obligations giving rise thereto (including by the termination of Defaulting Lender status of
the applicable Lender (or, as appropriate, its assignee following compliance with Section
10.06(b)(vi))) or (ii) the Administrative Agent’s good faith determination that there exists
excess Cash Collateral; provided, however, (x) that Cash Collateral furnished by or on
behalf of a Loan Party shall not be released during the continuance of a Default or Event of
Default (and following application as provided in this Section 2.17 may be otherwise
applied in accordance with Section 8.08), and (y) the Person providing Cash Collateral and
the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, may agree that Cash Collateral shall not be
released but instead held to support future anticipated Fronting Exposure, L/C Post-Maturity
Exposure or other obligations.
2.18 Defaulting Lenders.
(a) Adjustments. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, if any Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, then, until such time as that Lender is no
longer a Defaulting Lender, to the extent permitted by applicable Law:
(i) Waivers and Amendments. That Defaulting Lender’s right to approve or disapprove
any amendment, waiver or consent with respect to this Agreement shall be restricted as set forth in
Section 10.01.
(ii) Reallocation of Payments. Any payment of principal, interest, fees or other
amounts received by the Administrative Agent for the account of that Defaulting Lender (whether
voluntary or mandatory, at maturity, pursuant to Article VIII or otherwise, and including
any amounts made available to the Administrative Agent by that Defaulting Lender pursuant to
Section 10.08), shall be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the
Administrative Agent as follows: first, to the payment of any amounts owing by that Defaulting
Lender to the Administrative Agent hereunder; second, to the payment on a pro rata basis of any
amounts owing by that Defaulting Lender to the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; third, if
so determined by the Administrative Agent or requested by the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, to
be held as Cash Collateral for future funding obligations of that Defaulting Lender of any
participation in any Swing Line Loan or Letter of Credit; fourth, as the Borrower may request (so
long as no Default or Event of Default exists), to the funding of any Loan in respect of which that
Defaulting Lender has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as
determined by the Administrative Agent; fifth, if so determined by the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower, to be held in a non-interest bearing deposit account and released in order to satisfy
obligations of that Defaulting Lender to fund Loans under this Agreement; sixth, to the payment of
any amounts owing to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender as a result of any judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Lender, the L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender
against that Defaulting Lender as a result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations
under this Agreement; seventh, so long as no
|

|
|
|
AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (Camden Property Trust)
|
|
Page 55 |
Default or Event of Default exists or non-defaulting Lenders have been paid in full all
amounts then due, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Borrower as a result of any judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by the Borrower against that Defaulting Lender as a
result of that Defaulting Lender’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement; and eighth, to
that Defaulting Lender or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction;
provided that if (x) such payment is a payment of the principal amount of any Loans or L/C
Borrowings in respect of which that Defaulting Lender has not fully funded its appropriate share
and (y) such Loans or L/C Borrowings were made at a time when the conditions set forth in
Section 4.02 were satisfied or waived, such payment shall be applied solely to pay the
Loans of, and L/C Borrowings owed to, all non-Defaulting Lenders on a pro rata basis prior to being
applied to the payment of any Loans of, or L/C Borrowings owed to, that Defaulting Lender. Any
payments, prepayments or other amounts paid or payable to a Defaulting Lender that are applied (or
held) to pay amounts owed by a Defaulting Lender or to post Cash Collateral pursuant to this
Section 2.18(a)(ii) shall be deemed paid to and redirected by that Defaulting Lender, and
each Lender irrevocably consents hereto.
(iii) Certain Fees. That Defaulting Lender (x) shall not be entitled to receive any
facility fee pursuant to Section 2.10(a) for any period during which that Lender is a
Defaulting Lender (and the Borrower shall not be required to pay any such fee that otherwise would
have been required to have been paid to that Defaulting Lender) and (y) shall be limited in its
right to receive Letter of Credit Fees as provided in Section 2.04(h).
(iv) Reallocation of Applicable Percentages to Reduce Fronting Exposure. During any
period in which there is a Defaulting Lender, for purposes of computing the amount of the
obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire, refinance or fund participations in Letters of
Credit or Swing Line Loans pursuant to Sections 2.04 and 2.05, the “Applicable
Percentage” of each non-Defaulting Lender shall be computed without giving effect to the Commitment
of that Defaulting Lender; provided, that, (i) each such reallocation shall be given effect
only if, at the date the applicable Lender becomes a Defaulting Lender, no Default or Event of
Default exists; and (ii) the aggregate obligation of each non-Defaulting Lender to acquire,
refinance or fund participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans shall not exceed the
positive difference, if any, of (1) the Commitment of that non-Defaulting Lender minus (2)
the aggregate Outstanding Amount of the Committed Loans of that Lender.
(b) Defaulting Lender Cure. If the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, Swing Line
Lender and the L/C Issuer agree in writing in their sole discretion that a Defaulting Lender should
no longer be deemed to be a Defaulting Lender, the Administrative Agent will so notify the parties
hereto, whereupon as of the effective date specified in such notice and subject to any conditions
set forth therein (which may include arrangements with respect to any Cash Collateral), that Lender
will, to the extent applicable, purchase that portion of outstanding Loans of the other Lenders or
take such other actions as the Administrative Agent may determine to be necessary to cause the
Committed Loans and funded and unfunded participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line Loans to
be held on a pro rata basis by the Lenders in accordance with their Applicable Percentages (without
giving effect to Section 2.18(a)(iv)), whereupon that Lender will cease to be a Defaulting Lender;
provided that no adjustments will be made retroactively with respect to fees accrued or payments
made by or on behalf of the Borrower while that Lender was a Defaulting Lender; and provided,
further, that except to the extent
|
|
|
|
|
|
AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (Camden Property Trust)
|
|
Page 56 |
otherwise expressly agreed by the affected parties, no change hereunder from Defaulting Lender
to Lender will constitute a waiver or release of any claim of any party hereunder arising from that
Lender’s having been a Defaulting Lender.
ARTICLE III. TAXES, YIELD PROTECTION AND ILLEGALITY
3.01 Taxes.
(a) Payments Free of Taxes; Obligation to Withhold; Payments on Account of Taxes. (i)
Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under any
other Loan Document shall to the extent permitted by applicable Laws be made free and clear of and
without reduction or withholding for any Taxes. If, however, applicable Laws require the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent to withhold or deduct any Tax, such Tax shall be withheld or deducted
in accordance with such Laws as determined by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case
may be, upon the basis of the information and documentation to be delivered pursuant to subsection
(e) below.
If the Borrower or the Administrative Agent shall be required by the Code to withhold or
deduct any Taxes, including both United States Federal backup withholding and withholding taxes,
from any payment, then (A) the Administrative Agent shall withhold or make such deductions as are
determined by the Administrative Agent to be required based upon the information and documentation
it has received pursuant to subsection (e) below, (B) the Administrative Agent shall timely pay the
full amount withheld or deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with the
Code, and (C) to the extent that the withholding or deduction is made on account of Indemnified
Taxes or Other Taxes, the sum payable by the Borrower shall be increased as necessary so that after
any required withholding or the making of all required deductions (including deductions applicable
to additional sums payable under this Section) the Administrative Agent, Lender or L/C Issuer, as
the case may be, receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such withholding
or deduction been made.
(b) Payment of Other Taxes by the Borrower. Without limiting the provisions of
subsection (a) above, the Borrower shall timely pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental
Authority in accordance with applicable Laws.
(c) Tax Indemnifications. (i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or
(b) above, and subject to Borrower’s right to contest the validity of same, the Borrower shall, and
does hereby, indemnify the Administrative Agent, each Lender and the L/C Issuer, and shall make
payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, for the full amount of any
Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes (including Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes imposed or asserted on
or attributable to amounts payable under this Section) withheld or deducted by the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent or paid by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the
case may be, and any penalties, interest and reasonable expenses arising therefrom or with respect
thereto, whether or not such Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes were correctly or legally imposed or
asserted by the relevant Governmental Authority. The Borrower shall also, and does hereby,
indemnify the Administrative Agent, and shall make payment in respect thereof within 10 days after
demand therefor, for any amount which a Lender or the L/C Issuer for any reason fails to pay
indefeasibly to the Administrative Agent as required by clause
|
|
|
|
|

(ii) of this subsection. A certificate as to the amount of any such payment or liability
delivered to the Borrower by a Lender or the L/C Issuer (with a copy to the Administrative Agent),
or by the Administrative Agent on its own behalf or on behalf of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, shall
be conclusive absent manifest error.
(i) Without limiting the provisions of subsection (a) or (b) above, each Lender and the L/C
Issuer shall, and does hereby, indemnify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and shall make
payment in respect thereof within 10 days after demand therefor, against any and all Taxes and any
and all related losses, claims, liabilities, penalties, interest and expenses (including the fees,
charges and disbursements of any counsel for the Borrower or the Administrative Agent) incurred by
or asserted against the Borrower or the Administrative Agent by any Governmental Authority as a
result of the failure by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to deliver, or as a
result of the inaccuracy, inadequacy or deficiency of, any documentation required to be delivered
by such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent
pursuant to subsection (e). Each Lender and the L/C Issuer hereby authorizes the Administrative
Agent to set off and apply any and all amounts at any time owing to such Lender or the L/C Issuer,
as the case may be, under this Agreement or any other Loan Document against any amount due to the
Administrative Agent under this clause (ii). The agreements in this clause (ii) shall survive the
resignation and/or replacement of the Administrative Agent, any assignment of rights by, or the
replacement of, a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the
repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all other Obligations.
(d) Evidence of Payments. Upon request by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent,
as the case may be, after any payment of Taxes by the Borrower or by the Administrative Agent to a
Governmental Authority as provided in this Section 3.01, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent or the Administrative Agent shall deliver to the Borrower, as the case may be,
the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such
payment, a copy of any return required by Laws to report such payment or other evidence of such
payment reasonably satisfactory to the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be.
(e) Status of Lenders; Tax Documentation.
(i) Each Lender shall deliver to the Borrower and to the Administrative Agent,
at the time or times prescribed by applicable Laws or when reasonably requested by
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, such properly completed and executed
documentation prescribed by applicable Laws or by the taxing authorities of any
jurisdiction and such other reasonably requested information as will permit the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to determine (A) whether
or not payments made hereunder or under any other Loan Document are subject to
Taxes, (B) if applicable, the required rate of withholding or deduction, and (C)
such Lender’s entitlement to any available exemption from, or reduction of,
applicable Taxes in respect of all payments to be made to such Lender by the
Borrower pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise to establish such Lender’s status
for withholding tax purposes in the applicable jurisdiction.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if the Borrower is a resident for tax
purposes in the United States,
(A) any Lender that is a “United States person” within the meaning of
Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code shall deliver to the Borrower and the
Administrative Agent executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-9
or such other documentation or information prescribed by applicable Laws or
reasonably requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent as will
enable the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as the case may be, to
determine whether or not such Lender is subject to backup withholding or
information reporting requirements; and
(B) each Foreign Lender that is entitled under the Code or any
applicable treaty to an exemption from or reduction of withholding tax with
respect to payments hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall deliver
to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent (in such number of copies as
shall be requested by the recipient) on or prior to the date on which such
Foreign Lender becomes a Lender under this Agreement (and from time to time
thereafter upon the request of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, but
only if such Foreign Lender is legally entitled to do so), whichever of the
following is applicable:
(I) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN
claiming eligibility for benefits of an income tax treaty to which
the United States is a party,
(II) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI,
(III) executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY
and all required supporting documentation,
(IV) in the case of a Foreign Lender claiming the benefits of
the exemption for portfolio interest under section 881(c) of the
Code, (x) a certificate to the effect that such Foreign Lender is not
(A) a “bank” within the meaning of section 881(c)(3)(A) of the Code,
(B) a “10 percent shareholder” of the Borrower within the meaning of
section 881(c)(3)(B) of the Code, or (C) a “controlled foreign
corporation” described in section 881(c)(3)(C) of the Code and (y)
executed originals of Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN, or
(V) executed originals of any other form prescribed by
applicable Laws as a basis for claiming exemption from or a reduction
in United States Federal withholding tax together with such
supplementary documentation as may be prescribed by applicable Laws
to permit the Borrower or the Administrative
|

|

|
|
Page 59 |
Agent to determine the withholding or deduction required to be
made.
(ii) Each Lender shall promptly (A) notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent of any
change in circumstances which would modify or render invalid any claimed exemption or reduction,
and (B) take such steps as shall not be materially disadvantageous to it, in the reasonable
judgment of such Lender, and as may be reasonably necessary (including the re-designation of its
Lending Office) to avoid any requirement of applicable Laws of any jurisdiction that the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent make any withholding or deduction for taxes from amounts payable to
such Lender.
(f) Treatment of Certain Refunds. Unless required by applicable Laws, at no time
shall the Administrative Agent have any obligation to file for or otherwise pursue on behalf of a
Lender or the L/C Issuer, or have any obligation to pay to any Lender or the L/C Issuer, any refund
of Taxes withheld or deducted from funds paid for the account of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as
the case may be. If the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines, in its sole
discretion, that it has received a refund of any Taxes or Other Taxes as to which it has been
indemnified by the Borrower or with respect to which the Borrower has paid additional amounts
pursuant to this Section, it shall pay to the Borrower an amount equal to such refund (but only to
the extent of indemnity payments made, or additional amounts paid, by the Borrower under this
Section with respect to the Taxes or Other Taxes giving rise to such refund), net of all
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the
case may be, and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental
Authority with respect to such refund), provided that the Borrower, upon the request of the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer, agrees to repay the amount paid over to the
Borrower (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental
Authority) to the Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer in the event the
Administrative Agent, such Lender or the L/C Issuer is required to repay such refund to such
Governmental Authority. This subsection shall not be construed to require the Administrative
Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer to make available its tax returns (or any other information
relating to its taxes that it deems confidential) to the Borrower or any other Person.
3.02 Illegality. If any Lender determines that any Law has made it unlawful, or that any
Governmental Authority has asserted that it is unlawful, for any Lender or its applicable Lending
Office to make, maintain or fund Loans whose interest is determined by reference to the Eurodollar
Rate, or to determine or charge interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, or any Governmental
Authority has imposed material restrictions on the authority of such Lender to purchase or sell, or
to take deposits of, Dollars in the London interbank market, then, on notice thereof by such Lender
to the Borrower through the Administrative Agent, (i) any obligation of such Lender to make or
continue Eurodollar Rate Loans or to convert Base Rate Committed Loans to Eurodollar Rate Committed
Loans shall be suspended, and (ii) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender making or
maintaining Base Rate Loans the interest rate on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar
Rate component of the Base Rate, the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such Lender shall,
if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent without reference
to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, in each case until such Lender notifies the
Administrative Agent and the Borrower that the circumstances giving rise to such determination
|
|
|
|
|
|
AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (Camden Property Trust)
|
|
Page 60 |
no longer exist. Upon receipt of such notice, (x) the Borrower shall, upon demand from such
Lender (with a copy to the Administrative Agent), prepay or, if applicable, convert all Eurodollar
Rate Loans of such Lender to Base Rate Loans (the interest rate on which Base Rate Loans of such
Lender shall, if necessary to avoid such illegality, be determined by the Administrative Agent
without reference to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate), either on the last day of the
Interest Period therefor, if such Lender may lawfully continue to maintain such Eurodollar Rate
Loans to such day, or immediately, if such Lender may not lawfully continue to maintain such
Eurodollar Rate Loans and (y) if such notice asserts the illegality of such Lender determining or
charging interest rates based upon the Eurodollar Rate, the Administrative Agent shall during the
period of such suspension compute the Base Rate applicable to such Lender without reference to the
Eurodollar Rate component thereof until the Administrative Agent is advised in writing by such
Lender that it is no longer illegal for such Lender to determine or charge interest rates based
upon the Eurodollar Rate. Upon any such prepayment or conversion, the Borrower shall also pay
accrued interest on the amount so prepaid or converted.
3.03 Inability to Determine Rates. If the Required Lenders determine that for any reason in
connection with any request for a Eurodollar Rate Loan or a conversion to or continuation thereof
that (a) Dollar deposits are not being offered to banks in the London interbank eurodollar market
for the applicable amount and Interest Period of such Eurodollar Rate Loan, (b) adequate and
reasonable means do not exist for determining the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period
with respect to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan or in connection with an existing or
proposed Base Rate Loan, or (c) the Eurodollar Rate for any requested Interest Period with respect
to a proposed Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to
such Lenders of funding such Loan, the Administrative Agent will promptly so notify the Borrower
and each Lender. Thereafter, (x) the obligation of the Lenders to make or maintain Eurodollar Rate
Loans shall be suspended, and (y) in the event of a determination described in the preceding
sentence with respect to the Eurodollar Rate component of the Base Rate, the utilization of the
Eurodollar Rate component in determining the Base Rate shall be suspended, in each case until the
Administrative Agent (upon the instruction of the Required Lenders) revokes such notice. Upon
receipt of such notice, the Borrower may revoke any pending request for a Borrowing of, conversion
to or continuation of Eurodollar Rate Committed Loans or, failing that, will be deemed to have
converted such request into a request for a Committed Borrowing of Base Rate Loans in the amount
specified therein.
3.04 Increased Costs; Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans.
(a) Increased Costs Generally. If any Change in Law shall:
(i) impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory
loan, insurance charge or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or
for the account of, or credit extended or participated in by, any Lender (except any
reserve requirement contemplated by Section 3.04(e) or the L/C Issuer;
(ii) subject any Lender or the L/C Issuer to any tax of any kind whatsoever
with respect to this Agreement, any Letter of Credit, any participation in a Letter
of Credit or any Eurodollar Rate Loan made by it, or change the basis
|
|
|
|
|
|
AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (Camden Property Trust)
|
|
Page 61 |
of taxation of payments to such Lender or the L/C Issuer in respect thereof
(except for Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes covered by Section 3.01 and the
imposition of, or any change in the rate of, any Excluded Tax payable by such Lender
or the L/C Issuer); or
(iii) impose on any Lender or the L/C Issuer or the London interbank market any
other condition, cost or expense affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Rate Loans
made by such Lender or any Letter of Credit or participation therein;
and the result of any of the foregoing shall be to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any Loan the interest on which is determined by reference to the Eurodollar Rate (or of
maintaining its obligation to make any such Loan), or to increase the cost to such Lender or the
L/C Issuer of participating in, issuing or maintaining any Letter of Credit (or of maintaining its
obligation to participate in or to issue any Letter of Credit), or to reduce the amount of any sum
received or receivable by such Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder (whether of principal, interest
or any other amount) then, upon request of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, the Borrower will pay to
such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will
compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, for such additional costs incurred or
reduction suffered.
(b) Capital Requirements. If any Lender or the L/C Issuer determines that any Change
in Law affecting such Lender or the L/C Issuer or any Lending Office of such Lender or such
Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, regarding capital requirements has or would
have the effect of reducing the rate of return on such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s capital or on
the capital of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company, if any, as a consequence of this
Agreement, the Commitments of such Lender or the Loans made by, or participations in Letters of
Credit held by, such Lender, or the Letters of Credit issued by the L/C Issuer, to a level below
that which such Lender or the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company could
have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration such Lender’s or the L/C
Issuer’s policies and the policies of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company with
respect to capital adequacy), then from time to time the Borrower will pay to such Lender or the
L/C Issuer, as the case may be, such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender or
the L/C Issuer or such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s holding company for any such reduction
suffered.
(c) Certificates for Reimbursement. A certificate of a Lender or the L/C Issuer
setting forth the basis for determination of the compensation, the amount or amounts necessary to
compensate such Lender or the L/C Issuer or its holding company, as the case may be, as specified
in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section and delivered to the Borrower shall be conclusive absent
manifest error. The Borrower shall pay such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, the
amount shown as due on any such certificate within 10 days after receipt thereof.
(d) Delay in Requests. Failure or delay on the part of any Lender or the L/C Issuer
to demand compensation pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section shall not constitute a
waiver of such Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s right to demand such compensation, provided
that
|
|
|
|
|
|
AMENDED
AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (Camden Property
Trust)
|
|
Page 62 |
the Borrower shall not be required to compensate a Lender or the L/C Issuer pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Section for any increased costs incurred or reductions suffered more
than six months prior to the date that such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, notifies
the Borrower of the Change in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions and of such
Lender’s or the L/C Issuer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the Change
in Law giving rise to such increased costs or reductions is retroactive, then the six-month period
referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).
(e) Reserves on Eurodollar Rate Loans. The Borrower shall pay to each Lender, as long
as such Lender shall be required to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets
consisting of or including Eurocurrency funds or deposits (currently known as “Eurocurrency
liabilities”), additional interest on the unpaid principal amount of each Eurodollar Rate Loan
equal to the actual costs of such reserves allocated to such Loan by such Lender (as determined by
such Lender in good faith, which determination shall be conclusive), which shall be due and payable
on each date on which interest is payable on such Loan, provided the Borrower shall have
received at least 10 days’ prior notice (with a copy to the Administrative Agent) of such
additional interest from such Lender. If a Lender fails to give notice 10 days prior to the
relevant Interest Payment Date, such additional interest shall be due and payable 10 days from
receipt of such notice.
3.05 Compensation for Losses. Upon demand of any Lender (with a copy to the Administrative
Agent) from time to time, the Borrower shall promptly compensate such Lender for and hold such
Lender harmless from any actual loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of:
(a) any continuation, conversion, payment or prepayment of any Loan other than a Base Rate
Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest Period for such Loan (whether voluntary,
mandatory, automatic, by reason of acceleration, or otherwise);
(b) any failure by the Borrower (for a reason other than the failure of such Lender to make a
Loan) to prepay, borrow, continue or convert any Loan other than a Base Rate Loan on the date or in
the amount notified by the Borrower; or
(c) any assignment of a Eurodollar Rate Loan on a day other than the last day of the Interest
Period therefor as a result of a request by the Borrower pursuant to Section 10.13;
including any loss of anticipated profits and any loss or expense arising from the liquidation or
reemployment of funds obtained by it to maintain such Loan or from fees payable to terminate the
deposits from which such funds were obtained. The Borrower shall also pay any customary
administrative fees charged by such Lender in connection with the foregoing.
For purposes of calculating amounts payable by the Borrower to the Lenders under this Section
3.05, each Lender shall be deemed to have funded each Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan made by it
at the Eurodollar Rate for such Loan by a matching deposit or other borrowing in the London
interbank eurodollar market for a comparable amount and for a comparable period, whether or not
such Eurodollar Rate Committed Loan was in fact so funded.
3.06 Mitigation Obligations; Replacement of Lenders.

Page 63 |
(a) Designation of a Different Lending Office. If any Lender requests compensation
under Section 3.04, or the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender,
the L/C Issuer, or any Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender or the L/C Issuer
pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender gives a notice pursuant to Section 3.02,
then such Lender or the L/C Issuer shall, as applicable, use reasonable efforts to designate a
different Lending Office for funding or booking its Loans hereunder or to assign its rights and
obligations hereunder to another of its offices, branches or affiliates, if, in the reasonable
judgment of such Lender or the L/C Issuer, such designation or assignment (i) would eliminate or
reduce amounts payable pursuant to Section 3.01 or 3.04, as the case may be, in the
future, or eliminate the need for the notice pursuant to Section 3.02, as applicable, and
(ii) in each case, would not subject such Lender or the L/C Issuer, as the case may be, to any
unreimbursed cost or expense and would not otherwise be disadvantageous to such Lender or the L/C
Issuer, as the case may be. The Borrower hereby agrees to pay all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by any Lender or the L/C Issuer in connection with any such designation or assignment.
(b) Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section
3.04, or if the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any
Governmental Authority for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, the Borrower
may replace such Lender in accordance with Section 10.13.
3.07 Survival. All of the Borrower’s obligations under this Article III shall survive
termination of the Aggregate Commitments, repayment of all other Obligations hereunder, and
resignation of the Administrative Agent.
ARTICLE IV. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO CREDIT EXTENSIONS
4.01 Conditions of Initial Credit Extension. The obligation of the L/C Issuer and each Lender
to make its initial Credit Extension hereunder is subject to satisfaction of the following

the knowledge of the Borrower after due and diligent investigation, threatened, at law, in equity,

the aggregate, if determined adversely, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, and there has been no adverse change in the status, or financial effect on any Loan Party
or any Consolidated Subsidiary thereof, of the matters described on Schedule 5.06.
5.07 No Default. Neither any Loan Party nor any Consolidated Subsidiary thereof is in default

good record and marketable title in fee simple to, or valid leasehold interests in, substantially
all real property necessary or used in the ordinary conduct of its business, except for such

to no Liens, other than Liens permitted by Section 7.01.

businesses and owning similar properties in localities where the Borrower or the applicable

state and other material taxes, assessments, fees and other governmental charges levied or imposed
upon them or their properties, income or assets otherwise due and payable, except those which (a)
are being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted and for which
adequate reserves have been provided in accordance with GAAP, or (b) failure to pay would not have
a Material Adverse Effect. There is no proposed tax assessment against the Borrower or any
Consolidated Subsidiary that would, if made, have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither any Loan
Party nor any Consolidated Subsidiary thereof is party to any tax sharing agreement.

qualified plan under Section 401(a) of the Code has received a favorable determination letter from
the Internal Revenue Service to the effect that the form of such Plan is qualified under Section
401(a) of the Code and the trust related thereto has been determined by the Internal Revenue
Service to be exempt from federal income tax under Section 501(a) of the Code, or an application
for such a letter is currently being processed by the Internal Revenue Service. To the best
knowledge of the Borrower, nothing has occurred that would prevent or cause the loss of such
tax-qualified status.

or lawsuits, or action by any Governmental Authority, with respect to any Plan that could
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There has been no prohibited transaction

could reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

waiver of the minimum funding standards under the Pension Funding Rules has been applied for or
obtained; (iii) as of the most recent valuation date for any Pension Plan, the funding target
attainment percentage (as defined in Section 430(d)(2) of the Code) is 60% or higher and neither
the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate knows of any facts or circumstances that could reasonably be
expected to cause the funding target attainment percentage for any such plan to drop below 60% as
of the most recent valuation date; (iv) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred
any liability to the PBGC other than for the payment of premiums, and there are no premium payments
which have become due that are unpaid; (v) neither the Borrower nor any ERISA Affiliate has engaged
in a transaction that could be subject to Section 4069 or Section 4212(c) of ERISA; and (vi) no

circumstance has
|

occurred or exists that could reasonably be expected to cause the PBGC to institute
proceedings under Title IV of ERISA to terminate any Pension Plan.

agreements, instruments and corporate or other restrictions to which it or any of its Consolidated
Subsidiaries is subject, and all other matters known to it, that, to the best of its knowledge,

Effect. No report, financial statement, certificate or other information furnished (whether in
writing or orally) by or on behalf of any Loan Party to the Administrative Agent or any Lender in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and the negotiation of this Agreement or
delivered hereunder or under any other Loan Document (in each case, as modified or supplemented by

misstatement of fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided

Material Adverse Effect.
6.07 Maintenance of Insurance. Maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance
companies not Affiliates of the Borrower, insurance with respect to its properties and business

no longer owns
Unencumbered Property shall be entitled to a release from the Guaranty and Contribution Agreement

shall otherwise be in compliance with the Loan Documents.

rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
6.15 Guaranty Proceeds.

Agreement, Administrative Agent and the Lenders covenant and agree with the Borrower that any
funds, payments, claims, or distributions actually received by Administrative Agent and the Lenders
as a result of, or pursuant to any Guaranty Agreement (“Guaranty Proceeds”), shall be made
available for distribution equally and ratably among the holders of the Obligations and the trustee
or trustees of any senior, unsecured, non-subordinated Indebtedness of the Borrower issued in
offerings registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or exempt from registration pursuant to Rule
144A of Section 4 thereof and holders of borrowed money incurred by the Borrower (the “Senior
Debt”) which is outstanding on the date Administrative Agent and the Lenders receive such
Guaranty Proceeds. This Section 6.15 shall not apply to any payments, funds, claims or
distributions received by Administrative Agent or any Lender directly or indirectly from the
Borrower or any other Person other than from a Guarantor Subsidiary pursuant to a Guaranty
Agreement, but shall apply solely to Guaranty Proceeds. The Borrower has been supplied a copy of
each Guaranty Agreement and specifically understands and agrees with Administrative Agent and
Lenders that, to the extent Guaranty Proceeds are distributed to holders of the Senior Debt, each
Guarantor Subsidiary has agreed that the Obligation shall not be deemed reduced by any such
distribution, and each Guarantor Subsidiary will continue to make payments pursuant to its Guaranty
Agreement until such time as the Obligation has been paid in full after taking into effect any
distributions of Guaranty Proceeds to holders of Senior Debt.

(b) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to limit, modify, or alter the rights of
Administrative Agent and the Lenders under any Guaranty Agreement. Nothing herein contained shall
be deemed to subordinate the Obligations to the Senior Debt or any other Indebtedness of the
Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries, nor give to any holder of any such Indebtedness any
rights of subrogation.
(c) Nothing contained in this Agreement or any Guaranty Agreement shall be deemed for the
benefit of any holders of the Senior Debt or any other Indebtedness (other than the Obligations)
nor shall anything be construed to impose on Administrative Agent or the Lenders any fiduciary
duties, obligations or responsibilities to the holders of any such Indebtedness. This Section
6.15 and each Guaranty Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders and their respective successors and assigns.
ARTICLE VII. NEGATIVE COVENANTS
So long as any Lender shall have any Commitment hereunder, any Loan or other Obligation
hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied, or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding, the
Borrower shall not, nor shall it permit any Consolidated Subsidiary to, directly or indirectly:
7.01 Liens. Create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon any of its property,
assets or revenues, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, other than:
(a) Permitted Liens;
(b) capitalized leases with respect to computer and other office equipment or inventory and
purchase money liens with respect to personal property so long as (i) the Indebtedness secured by
any such Lien does not exceed the purchase price of such personal property (ii) any such Lien
encumbers only the personal property so purchased and the proceeds upon sale, disposition, loss or
destruction thereof is used to pay the Debt secured thereby, and (iii) such Lien, after giving
effect to the Indebtedness secured thereby, does not give rise to an Event of Default; and
(c) Liens on Property securing Secured Indebtedness to the extent such Liens and Secured
Indebtedness do not result in a violation of the terms and covenants hereof; provided that in no
event shall the Borrower or any Guarantor Subsidiaries grant or allow to be granted any Liens on
the Equity Interests of, or owned by, the Borrower or any Consolidated Subsidiary.
7.02 Investments. Make any Investments, except:
(a) Direct Investments of Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries in completed multi-family
Real Estate; and
(b) Investments in land, Development Properties, non-multi-family holdings, stock holdings,
mortgages, notes and accounts receivables, joint ventures, partnerships and unconsolidated

undepreciated book
value thereof, as determined in accordance with GAAP (which shall be at the lower of cost or

joint ventures, partnerships and unconsolidated Affiliates (other than as a guarantor) exceeds the
lesser of five percent (5.0%) of Gross Asset Value or Three Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars
($300,000,000.00), then all such Investments in excess of the lesser of five percent (5.0%) of
Gross Asset Value or Three Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars ($300,000,000.00) shall be treated on
a pro rata basis such that Borrower shall be credited with a pro rata share of income and
investment and will be charged with a pro rata share of the applicable expense and liability, with
respect to such excess Investments, as if such excess Investments were reflected on a consolidated
basis. The pro rata treatment of such excess Investments shall continue only so long as the
aggregate amount of all Investments by the Borrower and its Consolidated Subsidiaries in joint
ventures, partnerships and unconsolidated Affiliates (other than as a guarantor) is greater than
the lesser of five percent (5.0%) of Gross Asset Value or Three Hundred Million and No/100 Dollars

(c) other than in connection with a consolidation or merger permitted below, terminate, or
fail to maintain its good standing and qualification to transact business in all jurisdictions
where the failure to maintain its good standing or qualification to transact business could have a
material adverse effect on its financial condition or operations.
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, so long as no Default then exists or
would result therefrom, the following shall be permitted without any consent of the Required
Lenders: (i) mergers of any Guarantor Subsidiary into the Borrower (with the Borrower as the
survivor of any such merger) or another Guarantor Subsidiary, (ii) a consolidation or merger by any
Consolidated Subsidiary of the Borrower that is not a Guarantor Subsidiary with another
Consolidated Subsidiary or with another Person in which the Borrower remains the direct or indirect
owner of all of the Equity Interests of the continuing or surviving entity, (iii) a merger or

corporation in such merger shall succeed to all the rights, properties, assets and liabilities of
Borrower after such merger or acquisition and no Change in Control occurs.
7.05 Restricted Payments. Declare or pay any Restricted Payment with respect to any class of
stock of Borrower, directly or indirectly, after the occurrence and during the continuance of a
Default or Event of Default unless:
(a) immediately after giving effect to such proposed Distribution, the aggregate of all

Operations after excluding non-cash, non-recurring expenses for the Borrower and its Consolidated
Subsidiaries attributable to such period, or
(b) necessary (but only to the extent necessary) to comply with Section 6.13 with
respect to the Borrower’s qualification as a real estate investment trust, or solely as a result of

It is understood and agreed by the Borrower and each Guarantor Subsidiary that any of the
foregoing “Events of Default” shall constitute a default under each of the Notes, and that such
“Events of Default” are cumulative and in addition to any default or events of default contained in
any of the other Loan Documents, and that in the event of any discrepancy or inconsistency between
any Event of Default hereunder and any default or event of default contained in any other Loan
Document, the description of the Event of Default stated herein shall control.
8.02 Notice and Cure. If any Loan Document provides for Administrative Agent to give to the
Borrower any notice regarding a Default or an Event of Default, and if Administrative Agent fails
to give such notice to the Borrower as provided, the sole and exclusive remedy of the Borrower for
such failure (unless such failure was a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
Administrative Agent or any Lender) shall be to seek appropriate equitable relief to enforce the
agreement to give such notice and to have any acceleration of the maturity of the Obligations
postponed or revoked pending or upon the curing of such Default to Administrative Agent’s
satisfaction in the manner and during the period of time permitted by such agreement, if any, and
Borrower waives any and all right to damages and any other relief.

Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders,
take any or all of the following actions:

kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower;
(c) require that the Borrower Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations (in an amount equal to
the then Outstanding Amount thereof); and
(d) exercise on behalf of itself, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer all rights and remedies
available to it, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under the Loan Documents;
provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an actual or deemed entry of an
order for relief with respect to the Borrower under the Bankruptcy Code of the United States, the
obligation of each Lender to make Loans and any obligation of the L/C Issuer to make L/C Credit
Extensions shall automatically terminate, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding Loans and
all interest and other amounts as aforesaid shall automatically become due and payable, and the
obligation of the Borrower to Cash Collateralize the L/C Obligations as aforesaid shall
automatically become effective, in each case without further act of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender.
8.04 Remedies Cumulative, Concurrent and Non-Exclusive. Administrative Agent and the Lenders
shall have all rights, remedies and recourses granted in the Loan Documents, and available at law
or equity, and same (a) shall be cumulative and concurrent, (b) may be pursued separately,
successively or concurrently against Borrower or any Guarantor Subsidiary, or any others obligated
under any of the Notes, at the sole discretion of Lenders, (c) may be exercised as often as the
occasion therefor shall arise, it being agreed by Borrower and each Guarantor Subsidiary that the
exercise or failure to exercise any of same shall in no event be construed as a waiver or release
thereof or of any other right, remedy or recourse, and (d) are intended to be, and shall be, non
exclusive.
8.05 No Conditions Precedent to Exercise Remedies. Borrower and each other Person hereafter
obligated for payment or fulfillment of all or any part of the Obligations shall not, except as
otherwise provided by applicable law, be relieved of such obligation by reason of (a) the release,
regardless of consideration, of any Person obligated with respect to the Obligations, and (b) any
other act or occurrence, save and except the complete payment of the Obligations. Borrower and
each Guarantor Subsidiary waive any right to require Lenders to proceed against any other Person,
or pursue any other remedy in Lenders’ power. All dealings between Borrower, any Guarantor
Subsidiary, Administrative Agent and any Lender, whether or not resulting in the creation of the
Obligations, shall conclusively be presumed to have been had or consummated upon reliance upon this
Agreement. Borrower and each Guarantor Subsidiary authorize Lenders, without notice or demand and
without any reservation of rights against Borrower or any Guarantor Subsidiary and without
affecting liability hereunder or on the Obligations, from time to time, to renew, extend for any
period, accelerate, modify, compromise, settle, or release the obligation of any other Person that
may be obligated with respect to any or all of the Obligations.
8.06 Waivers. To the full extent permitted by law, Borrower and each Guarantor Subsidiary
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waive and release (a) except as specifically provided for
herein, all notices of any Default or Event of Default or of the election by

Administrative Agent
or the Lenders to exercise any right, remedy or recourse provided for under the Loan Documents, (b)
any right to a marshaling of assets with respect to the Notes, or any Debt of Borrower or any
Guarantor Subsidiary, and (c) except as specifically provided for herein, any and all right to
receive demand, grace, notice, presentment for payment, protest, notice of intention to accelerate
the Obligations or notice of acceleration of the Obligations.
8.07 Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case Administrative Agent shall have proceeded to
invoke any right, remedy or recourse permitted under the Loan Documents and shall thereafter elect
to discontinue or abandon same for any reason, Administrative Agent shall have the unqualified
right to do so and, in such event, Borrower, each Guarantor Subsidiary, Administrative Agent and
the Lenders shall be restored to their respective former positions with respect to the Obligations,
the Loan Documents, and otherwise, and the rights, remedies, recourses and powers of Administrative
Agent and Lenders shall continue as if same had never been invoked.
8.08 Application of Funds. After the exercise of remedies provided for in Section
8.02 (or after the Loans have automatically become immediately due and payable and the L/C
Obligations have automatically been required to be Cash Collateralized as set forth in the proviso
to Section 8.02), any amounts received on account of the Obligations shall, subject to the
provisions of Sections 2.17 and 2.18, be applied by the Administrative Agent in the

and other amounts (other than principal, interest and Letter of Credit Fees) payable to the Lenders

Lender or the L/C Issuer) and amounts payable under Article III), ratably among them in
proportion to the respective amounts described in this clause Second payable to them;
Third, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting accrued and unpaid
Letter of Credit Fees and interest on the Loans, L/C Borrowings and other Obligations, ratably
among the Lenders and the L/C Issuer in proportion to the respective amounts described in this
clause Third payable to them;
Fourth, to payment of that portion of the Obligations constituting unpaid principal of
the Loans and L/C Borrowings, ratably among the Lenders and the L/C Issuer in proportion to the
respective amounts described in this clause Fourth held by them;
Fifth, to the Administrative Agent for the account of the L/C Issuer, to Cash
Collateralize that portion of L/C Obligations comprised of the aggregate undrawn amount of Letters
of Credit

to the extent not otherwise Cash Collateralized by the Borrower pursuant to Sections
2.04 and 2.17; and
Last, the balance, if any, after all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in
full, to the Borrower or as otherwise required by Law.
Subject to Sections 2.04(c) and 2.17, amounts used to Cash Collateralize the aggregate
undrawn amount of Letters of Credit pursuant to clause Fifth above shall be applied to
satisfy drawings under such Letters of Credit as they occur. If any amount remains on deposit as
Cash Collateral after all Letters of Credit have either been fully drawn or expired, such remaining
amount shall be applied to the other Obligations, if any, in the order set forth above.
ARTICLE IX. ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT
9.01 Appointment and Authority. Each of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer hereby irrevocably
appoints Bank of America to act on its behalf as the Administrative Agent hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents and authorizes the Administrative Agent to take such actions on its behalf and
to exercise such powers as are delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof or
thereof, together with such actions and powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The
provisions of this Article are solely for the benefit of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and
the L/C Issuer, and neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party shall have rights as a third
party beneficiary of any of such provisions.
9.02 Rights as a Lender. The Person serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder shall have
the same rights and powers in its capacity as a Lender as any other Lender and may exercise the
same as though it were not the Administrative Agent and the term “Lender” or “Lenders” shall,
unless otherwise expressly indicated or unless the context otherwise requires, include the Person
serving as the Administrative Agent hereunder in its individual capacity. Such Person and its
Affiliates may accept deposits from, lend money to, act as the financial advisor or in any other
advisory capacity for and generally engage in any kind of business with the Borrower or any
Subsidiary or other Affiliate thereof as if such Person were not the Administrative Agent hereunder
and without any duty to account therefor to the Lenders.
9.03 Exculpatory Provisions. The Administrative Agent shall not have any duties or
obligations except those expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:
(a) shall not be subject to any fiduciary or other implied duties, regardless of whether a
Default has occurred and is continuing;
(b) shall not have any duty to take any discretionary action or exercise any discretionary
powers, except discretionary rights and powers expressly contemplated hereby or by the other Loan
Documents that the Administrative Agent is required to exercise as directed in writing by the
Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the Lenders as shall be expressly provided
for herein or in the other Loan Documents), provided that the Administrative Agent shall
not be required to take any action that, in its opinion or the opinion of its counsel, may expose
the Administrative Agent to liability or that is contrary to any Loan Document or applicable law;
and
|
|
|
|
|
|
AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (Camden Property Trust)
|
|
Page 89 |
(c) shall not, except as expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents, have any
duty to disclose, and shall not be liable for the failure to disclose, any information relating to
the Borrower or any of its Affiliates that is communicated to or obtained by the Person serving as
the Administrative Agent or any of its Affiliates in any capacity.
The Administrative Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or not taken by it (i) with
the consent or at the request of the Required Lenders (or such other number or percentage of the
Lenders as shall be necessary, or as the Administrative Agent shall believe in good faith shall be
necessary, under the circumstances as provided in Sections 10.01 and 8.02) or (ii)
in the absence of its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. The Administrative Agent shall
be deemed not to have knowledge of any Default unless and until notice describing such Default is
given to the Administrative Agent by the Borrower, a Lender or the L/C Issuer.
The Administrative Agent shall not be responsible for or have any duty to ascertain or inquire
into (i) any statement, warranty or representation made in or in connection with this Agreement or
any other Loan Document, (ii) the contents of any certificate, report or other document delivered
hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, (iii) the performance or observance
of any of the covenants, agreements or other terms or conditions set forth herein or therein or the
occurrence of any Default, (iv) the validity, enforceability, effectiveness or genuineness of this
Agreement, any other Loan Document or any other agreement, instrument or document or (v) the
satisfaction of any condition set forth in Article IV or elsewhere herein, other than to
confirm receipt of items expressly required to be delivered to the Administrative Agent.
9.04 Reliance by Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to rely
upon, and shall not incur any liability for relying upon, any notice, request, certificate,
consent, statement, instrument, document or other writing (including any electronic message,
Internet or intranet website posting or other distribution) believed by it to be genuine and to
have been signed, sent or otherwise authenticated by the proper Person. The Administrative Agent
also may rely upon any statement made to it orally or by telephone and believed by it to have been
made by the proper Person, and shall not incur any liability for relying thereon. In determining
compliance with any condition hereunder to the making of a Loan, or the issuance of a Letter of
Credit, that by its terms must be fulfilled to the satisfaction of a Lender or the L/C Issuer, the
Administrative Agent may presume that such condition is satisfactory to such Lender or the L/C
Issuer unless the Administrative Agent shall have received notice to the contrary from such Lender
or the L/C Issuer prior to the making of such Loan or the issuance of such Letter of Credit. The
Administrative Agent may consult with legal counsel (who may be counsel for the Borrower),
independent accountants and other experts selected by it, and shall not be liable for any action
taken or not taken by it in accordance with the advice of any such counsel, accountants or experts.
9.05 Delegation of Duties. The Administrative Agent may perform any and all of its duties and
exercise its rights and powers hereunder or under any other Loan Document by or through any one or
more sub-agents appointed by the Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent and any such
sub-agent may perform any and all of its duties and exercise its rights and powers by or through
their respective Related Parties. The exculpatory provisions of this Article shall apply to any
such sub-agent and to the Related Parties of the Administrative Agent and any
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
Page 90 |
such sub-agent, and
shall apply to their respective activities in connection with the syndication of the credit
facilities provided for herein as well as activities as Administrative Agent.
9.06 Resignation of Administrative Agent. The Administrative Agent may at any time give
notice of its resignation to the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Borrower. Upon receipt of any
such notice of resignation, the Required Lenders shall have the right, in consultation with the
Borrower, to appoint a successor, which shall be a bank with an office in the United States, or an
Affiliate of any such bank with an office in the United States. If no such successor shall have
been so appointed by the Required Lenders and shall have accepted such appointment within 30 days
after the retiring Administrative Agent gives notice of its resignation, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may on behalf of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent meeting the qualifications set forth above; provided that if the
Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower and the Lenders that no qualifying Person has
accepted such appointment, then such resignation shall nonetheless become effective in accordance
with such notice and (1) the retiring Administrative Agent shall be discharged from its duties and
obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (except that in the case of any collateral
security held by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders or the L/C Issuer under any of
the Loan Documents, the retiring Administrative Agent shall continue to hold such collateral
security until such time as a successor Administrative Agent is appointed) and (2) all payments,
communications and determinations provided to be made by, to or through the Administrative Agent
shall instead be made by or to each Lender and the L/C Issuer directly, until such time as the
Required Lenders appoint a successor Administrative Agent as provided for above in this Section.
Upon the acceptance of a successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, such successor
shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring (or retired) Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from all of its duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents (if
not already discharged therefrom as provided above in this Section). The fees payable by the
Borrower to a successor Administrative Agent shall be the same as those payable to its predecessor
unless otherwise agreed between the Borrower and such successor. After the retiring Administrative
Agent’s resignation hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, the provisions of this Article
and Section 10.04 shall continue in effect for the benefit of such retiring Administrative
Agent, its sub-agents and their respective Related Parties in respect of any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by any of them while the retiring Administrative Agent was acting as
Administrative Agent.
(b) Any resignation by Bank of America as Administrative Agent pursuant to this Section shall
also constitute its resignation as L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender. Upon the acceptance of a
successor’s appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder, (a) such successor shall succeed to and
become vested with all of the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer and
Swing Line Lender, (b) the retiring L/C Issuer and Swing Line Lender shall be discharged from all
of their respective duties and obligations hereunder or under the other Loan Documents, and (c) the
successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of Credit, if
any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory to the
retiring L/C Issuer to effectively assume the obligations of the retiring L/C Issuer with respect
to such Letters of Credit.

9.07 Non-Reliance on Administrative Agent and Other Lenders. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer
acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent or any
other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such documents and information as it has
deemed appropriate, made its own credit analysis and decision to enter into this Agreement. Each
Lender and the L/C Issuer also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon
the Administrative Agent or any other Lender or any of their Related Parties and based on such
documents and information as it shall from time to time deem appropriate, continue to make its own
decisions in taking or not taking action under or based upon this Agreement, any other Loan
Document or any related agreement or any document furnished hereunder or thereunder.
9.08 No Other Duties, Etc. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, none of the
Bookrunners, Arrangers, the Syndication Agent, the Documentation Agents or Managing Agents listed

Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents, except in its capacity, as applicable, as the
Administrative Agent, a Lender or the L/C Issuer hereunder.
9.09 Administrative Agent May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any proceeding
under any Debtor Relief Law or any other judicial proceeding relative to any Loan Party, the
Administrative Agent (irrespective of whether the principal of any Loan or L/C Obligation shall
then be due and payable as herein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of
whether the Administrative Agent shall have made any demand on the Borrower) shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise
(a) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of the principal and interest owing and
unpaid in respect of the Loans, L/C Obligations and all other Obligations that are owing and unpaid
and to file such other documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent (including any claim for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Lenders, the L/C Issuer and the
Administrative Agent and their respective agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Lenders,
the L/C Issuer and the Administrative Agent under Sections 2.04(i) and (j),
2.10 and 10.04) allowed in such judicial proceeding; and
(b) to collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any such
claims and to distribute the same;
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Lender and the L/C Issuer to make such
payments to the Administrative Agent and, in the event that the Administrative Agent shall consent
to the making of such payments directly to the Lenders and the L/C Issuer, to pay to the
Administrative Agent any amount due for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Administrative Agent and its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Administrative Agent under Sections 2.10 and 10.04.
Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Administrative Agent to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Lender or the L/C Issuer any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Obligations or the rights of
|

any Lender or the
L/C Issuer to authorize the Administrative Agent to vote in respect of the claim of any Lender or
the L/C Issuer in any such proceeding.
9.10 Collateral and Guaranty Matters. The Lenders and the L/C Issuer irrevocably authorize
the Administrative Agent, at its option and in its discretion,

under any Loan Document (i) upon termination of the Aggregate Commitments and payment in
full of all Obligations (other than contingent indemnification obligations) and the

applicable Loan Party, as the case may be, and acknowledged by the Administrative Agent, and each
such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific

any right to approve or disapprove any amendment, waiver or consent hereunder (and any amendment,
waiver or consent which by its terms requires the consent of all Lenders or each affected Lender

that (x) the Commitment of any Defaulting Lender may not be increased or extended without the
consent of such Lender and (y) any waiver, amendment or modification requiring the consent of all

Related Parties (collectively, the “Agent Parties”) have any liability to the Borrower, any
Lender, the L/C Issuer or any other Person for losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses of
any kind (whether in tort, contract or otherwise) arising out of the Borrower’s or the
Administrative Agent’s transmission of Borrower Materials through the Internet, except to the
extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction by a final and nonappealable judgment to have resulted from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of such Agent Party; provided, however, that in no
event shall any Agent Party have any liability to the Borrower, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any
other Person for indirect, special, incidental, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to

Issuer and the Swing Line Lender may change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices
and other communications hereunder by notice to the other parties hereto. Each other Lender may
change its address, telecopier or telephone number for notices and other communications hereunder
by notice to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender. In

and (ii) accurate wire instructions for such Lender. Furthermore, each Public Lender agrees to
cause at least one individual at or on behalf of such Public Lender to at all times have selected
the “Private Side Information” or similar designation on the content declaration screen of the
Platform in order to enable such Public Lender or its delegate, in accordance with such Public
Lender’s compliance procedures and applicable Law, including United States Federal and state
securities Laws, to make reference to Borrower Materials that are not made available through the
“Public Side Information” portion of the Platform and that may contain material non-public

Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders shall be entitled to rely and act upon any notices (including
telephonic Committed Loan Notices and Swing Line Loan Notices) purportedly given by or on behalf of
the Borrower 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. The Borrower shall
indemnify the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer, each Lender and the Related Parties of each of
them from all losses, costs, expenses and liabilities resulting from the reliance by such Person on

10.03 No Waiver; Cumulative Remedies; Enforcement. No failure by any Lender, the L/C Issuer
or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay by any such Person in exercising, any right,
remedy, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. The rights,
remedies, powers and privileges herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights,
remedies, powers and privileges provided by law.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Loan Document, the
authority to enforce rights and remedies hereunder and under the other Loan Documents against the
Loan Parties or any of them shall be vested exclusively in, and all actions and proceedings at law
in connection with such enforcement shall be instituted and maintained exclusively by, the
Administrative Agent in accordance with Section 8.03 for the benefit of all the Lenders and
the L/C Issuer; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit (a) the
Administrative Agent from exercising on its own behalf the rights and remedies that inure to its
benefit (solely in its capacity as Administrative Agent) hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents, (b) the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender from exercising the rights and remedies that
inure to its benefit (solely in its capacity as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may
be) hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, (c) any Lender from exercising setoff rights in
accordance with Section 10.08 (subject to the terms of Section 2.14), or (d) any
Lender from filing proofs of claim or appearing and filing pleadings on its own behalf during the
pendency of a proceeding relative to any Loan Party under any Debtor Relief Law; and
provided, further, that if at any time there is no Person acting as Administrative
Agent hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, then (i) the Required Lenders shall have the
rights otherwise ascribed to the Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 8.03 and (ii) in
addition to the matters set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (d) of the preceding proviso and subject
to Section 2.14, any Lender may, with the consent of the Required Lenders, enforce any
rights and remedies available to it and as authorized by the Required Lenders.

expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent and its Affiliates (including the reasonable fees,
charges and disbursements of counsel for the Administrative Agent), in connection with the

delivery and administration of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents or any amendments,
modifications or waivers of the provisions hereof or thereof (whether or not the transactions

Letters of Credit issued hereunder, including
all such out-of-pocket expenses incurred during any workout, restructuring or negotiations in
respect of such Loans or Letters of Credit.
(b) Indemnification by the Borrower. The Borrower shall indemnify the Administrative
Agent (and any sub-agent thereof), each Lender and the L/C Issuer, and each Related Party of any of
the foregoing Persons (each such Person being called an “Indemnitee”) against, and hold
each Indemnitee harmless from, any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and related
expenses (including the fees, charges and disbursements of any counsel for any Indemnitee), and
shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee from all fees and time charges and disbursements
for attorneys who may be employees of any Indemnitee, incurred by any Indemnitee or asserted
against any Indemnitee by any third party or by the Borrower or any other Loan Party arising out
of, in connection with, or as a result of (i) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, any
other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby or thereby, the performance
by the parties hereto of their respective obligations hereunder or thereunder, the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, or, in the case of the Administrative Agent (and
any sub-agent thereof) and its Related Parties only, the administration of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents (including in respect of any matters addressed in Section 3.01), (ii) any Loan
or Letter of Credit or the use or proposed use of the proceeds therefrom (including any refusal by
the L/C Issuer to honor a demand for payment under a Letter of Credit if the documents presented in
connection with such demand do not strictly comply with the terms of such Letter of Credit),
(iii) any actual or alleged presence or release of Hazardous Materials on or from any property
owned or operated by the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Environmental Liability
related in any way to the Borrower or any of its Subsidiaries, or (iv) any actual or prospective
claim, litigation, investigation or proceeding relating to any of the foregoing, whether based on
contract, tort or any other theory, whether brought by a third party or by the Borrower or any
other Loan Party, and regardless of whether any Indemnitee is a party thereto, IN ALL CASES,
WHETHER OR NOT CAUSED BY OR ARISING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, OUT OF THE COMPARATIVE, CONTRIBUTORY OR
SOLE NEGLIGENCE OF THE INDEMNITEE; provided that such indemnity shall not, as to any
Indemnitee, be available to the extent that such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or related
expenses (x) are determined by a court of competent jurisdiction by final and nonappealable
judgment to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee or
(y) result from a claim brought by the Borrower or any other Loan Party against an Indemnitee for
breach in bad faith of such Indemnitee’s obligations hereunder or under any other Loan Document, if
the Borrower or such other Loan Party has obtained a final and nonappealable judgment in its favor
on such claim as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction.
(c) Reimbursement by Lenders. To the extent that the Borrower for any reason fails to
indefeasibly pay any amount required under subsection (a) or (b) of this Section to be paid by it
to the Administrative Agent (or any sub-agent thereof), the L/C Issuer or any Related Party of any
of the foregoing, each Lender severally agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent (or any such
sub-agent), the L/C Issuer or such Related Party, as the case may be, such Lender’s Applicable
Percentage (determined as of the time that the applicable unreimbursed expense or indemnity payment
is sought) of such unpaid amount, provided that the unreimbursed expense or indemnified
loss, claim, damage, liability or related expense, as the case may be, was incurred by or asserted
against the Administrative Agent (or any such sub-agent) or the L/C Issuer in its
|

capacity as such,
or against any Related Party of any of the foregoing acting for the Administrative Agent (or any
such sub-agent) or L/C Issuer in connection with such capacity. The obligations of the Lenders
under this subsection (c) are subject to the provisions of Section 2.13(d).
(d) Waiver of Consequential Damages, Etc. To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, the Borrower shall not assert, and hereby waives, any claim against any Indemnitee,
on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages (as opposed to
direct or actual damages) arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement,
any other Loan Document or any agreement or instrument contemplated hereby, the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby, any Loan or Letter of Credit or the use of the proceeds thereof.
No Indemnitee referred to in subsection (b) above shall be liable for any damages arising from the
use by unintended recipients of any information or other materials distributed to such unintended
recipients by such Indemnitee through telecommunications, electronic or other information
transmission systems in connection with this Agreement or the other Loan Documents or the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby other than for direct or actual damages resulting from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnitee as determined by a final and
nonappealable judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
(e) Payments. All amounts due under this Section shall be payable not later than ten
Business Days after demand therefor.
(f) Survival. The agreements in this Section shall survive the resignation of the
Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Swing Line Lender, the replacement of any Lender, the
termination of the Aggregate Commitments and the repayment, satisfaction or discharge of all the
other Obligations.
10.05 Payments Set Aside. To the extent that any payment by or on behalf of the Borrower is
made to the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or any Lender, or the Administrative Agent, the
L/C Issuer or any Lender exercises its right of setoff, and such payment or the proceeds of such
setoff or any part thereof is subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential,
set aside or required (including pursuant to any settlement entered into by the Administrative
Agent, the L/C Issuer or such Lender in its discretion) to be repaid to a trustee, receiver or any
other party, in connection with any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law or otherwise, then (a)
to the extent of such recovery, the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied
shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or
such setoff had not occurred, and (b) each Lender and the L/C Issuer severally agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent upon demand its applicable share (without duplication) of any amount so
recovered from or repaid by the Administrative Agent, plus interest thereon from the date of such
demand to the date such payment is made at a rate per annum equal to the Federal Funds Rate from
time to time in effect. The obligations of the Lenders and the L/C Issuer under clause (b) of the
preceding sentence shall survive the payment in full of the Obligations and the termination of this
Agreement.

10.06 Successors and Assigns.
(a) Successors and Assigns Generally. The provisions of this Agreement shall be
binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns permitted hereby, except that neither the Borrower nor any other Loan Party may assign or
otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
the Administrative Agent and each Lender and no Lender may assign or otherwise transfer any of its
rights or obligations hereunder except (i) to an assignee in accordance with the provisions of
subsection (b) of this Section, (ii) by way of participation in accordance with the provisions of
subsection (d) of this Section, (iii) by way of pledge or assignment of a security interest subject
to the restrictions of subsection (f) of this Section (and any other attempted assignment or
transfer by any party hereto shall be null and void). Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or
implied, shall be construed to confer upon any Person (other than the parties hereto, their
respective successors and assigns permitted hereby, Participants to the extent provided in
subsection (d) of this Section and, to the extent expressly contemplated hereby, the Related
Parties of each of the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer and the Lenders) any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement.
(b) Assignments by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time assign to one or more
assignees all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this Agreement (including all or a
portion of its Commitment and the Loans (including for purposes of this subsection (b),
participations in L/C Obligations and in Swing Line Loans) at the time owing to it);
provided that any such assignment shall be subject to the following conditions:
(i) Minimum Amounts.
(A) in the case of an assignment of the entire remaining amount of the
assigning Lender’s Commitment and the Loans at the time owing to it or in
the case of an assignment to a Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an
Approved Fund, no minimum amount need be assigned; and
(B) in any case not described in subsection (b)(i)(A) of this Section,
the aggregate amount of the Commitment (which for this purpose includes
Loans outstanding thereunder) or, if the Commitment is not then in effect,
the principal outstanding balance of the Loans of the assigning Lender
subject to each such assignment, determined as of the date the Assignment
and Assumption with respect to such assignment is delivered to the
Administrative Agent or, if “Trade Date” is specified in the Assignment and
Assumption, as of the Trade Date, shall not be less than $5,000,000 unless
each of the Administrative Agent and, so long as no Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Borrower otherwise consents (each such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided,
however, that concurrent assignments to members of an Assignee Group
and concurrent assignments from members of an Assignee Group to a single
Eligible Assignee (or to an Eligible Assignee and members of its Assignee
Group) will be treated as a single assignment for purposes of determining
whether such minimum amount has been met.
|
|
|
|
|
|
AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (Camden Property Trust)
|
|
Page 100 |
(ii) Proportionate Amounts. Each partial assignment shall be made as
an assignment of a proportionate part of all the assigning Lender’s rights and
obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Loans or the Commitment
assigned, except that this clause (ii) shall not apply to rights in respect of Bid
Loans or the Swing Line Lender’s rights and obligations in respect of Swing Line
Loans;
(iii) Required Consents. No consent shall be required for any
assignment except to the extent required by subsection (b)(i)(B) of this
Section and, in addition:
(A) the consent of the Borrower (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld) shall be required unless (1) an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing at the time of such assignment or (2) such assignment is to a
Lender, an Affiliate of a Lender or an Approved Fund; provided that
the Borrower shall be deemed to have consented to any such assignment unless
it shall object thereto by written notice to the Administrative Agent within
five (5) Business Days after having received notice thereof;
(B) the consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required if such assignment is to
a Person that is not a Lender, an Affiliate of such Lender or an Approved
Fund with respect to such Lender;
(C) the consent of the L/C Issuer (such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment that increases the
obligation of the assignee to participate in exposure under one or more
Letters of Credit (whether or not then outstanding); and
(D) the consent of the Swing Line Lender (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) shall be required for any assignment.
(iv) Assignment and Assumption. The parties to each assignment shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent an Assignment and Assumption,
together with a processing and recordation fee in the amount of $3,500;
provided, however, that the Administrative Agent may, in its sole
discretion, elect to waive such processing and recordation fee in the case of any
assignment. The assignee, if it is not a Lender, shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent an Administrative Questionnaire.
(v) No Assignment to Certain Persons. No such assignment shall be made
(A) to the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries, or (B) to
any Defaulting Lender or any of its Subsidiaries, or any Person who, upon becoming a
Lender hereunder, would constitute any of the foregoing Persons described in this
clause (B), or (C) to a natural person.
|

|
|
|
AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (Camden Property Trust)
|
|
Page 101 |
(vi) Certain Additional Payments. In connection with any assignment of
rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender hereunder, no such assignment shall
be effective unless and until, in addition to the other conditions thereto set forth
herein, the parties to the assignment shall make such additional payments to the
Administrative Agent in an aggregate amount sufficient, upon distribution thereof as
appropriate (which may be outright payment, purchases by the assignee of
participations or subparticipations, or other compensating actions, including
funding, with the consent of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, the
applicable pro rata share of Loans previously requested but not funded by the
Defaulting Lender, to each of which the applicable assignee and assignor hereby
irrevocably consent), to (x) pay and satisfy in full all payment liabilities then
owed by such Defaulting Lender to the Administrative Agent or any Lender hereunder
(and interest accrued thereon) and (y) acquire (and fund as appropriate) its full
pro rata share of all Loans and participations in Letters of Credit and Swing Line
Loans in accordance with its Applicable Percentage. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event that any assignment of rights and obligations of any Defaulting Lender
hereunder shall become effective under applicable Law without compliance with the
provisions of this paragraph, then the assignee of such interest shall be deemed to
be a Defaulting Lender for all purposes of this Agreement until such compliance
occurs.
Subject to acceptance and recording thereof by the Administrative Agent pursuant to subsection (c)
of this Section, from and after the effective date specified in each Assignment and Assumption, the
assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Agreement and, to the extent of the interest assigned
by such Assignment and Assumption, have the rights and obligations of a Lender under this
Agreement, and the assigning Lender thereunder shall, to the extent of the interest assigned by
such Assignment and Assumption, be released from its obligations under this Agreement (and, in the
case of an Assignment and Assumption covering all of the assigning Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement, such Lender shall cease to be a party hereto) but shall continue to be
entitled to the benefits of Sections 3.01, 3.04, 3.05, and 10.04
with respect to facts and circumstances occurring prior to the effective date of such assignment.
Upon request, the Borrower (at its expense) shall execute and deliver a Note to the assignee
Lender. Any assignment or transfer by a Lender of rights or obligations under this Agreement that
does not comply with this subsection shall be treated for purposes of this Agreement as a sale by
such Lender of a participation in such rights and obligations in accordance with subsection (d) of
this Section.
(c) Register. The Administrative Agent, acting solely for this purpose as an agent of
the Borrower (and such agency being solely for tax purposes), shall maintain at the Administrative
Agent’s Office a copy of each Assignment and Assumption delivered to it and a register for the
recordation of the names and addresses of the Lenders, and the Commitments of, and principal
amounts of the Loans and L/C Obligations owing to, each Lender pursuant to the terms hereof from
time to time (the “Register”). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive, and the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may treat each Person whose name is recorded in
the Register pursuant to the terms hereof as a Lender hereunder for all purposes of this Agreement,
notwithstanding notice to the contrary. In addition, the Administrative Agent shall maintain on the
Register information regarding the designation, and revocation of
|
|
|
|
|
|
AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (Camden Property Trust)
|
|
Page 102 |
designation, of any Lender as a
Defaulting Lender. The Register shall be available for inspection by the Borrower and any Lender,
at any reasonable time and from time to time upon reasonable prior notice.
(d) Participations. Any Lender may at any time, without the consent of, or notice to,
the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, sell participations to any Person (other than a natural
person, a Defaulting Lender or the Borrower or any of the Borrower’s Affiliates or Subsidiaries)
(each, a “Participant”) in all or a portion of such Lender’s rights and/or obligations
under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Commitment and/or the Loans (including such
Lender’s participations in L/C Obligations and/or Swing Line Loans) owing to it); provided
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
and (iii) the Borrower, the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer shall continue to
deal solely and directly with such Lender in connection with such Lender’s rights and obligations
under this Agreement.
Any agreement or instrument pursuant to which a Lender sells such a participation shall
provide that such Lender shall retain the sole right to enforce this Agreement and to approve any
amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement; provided that such
agreement or instrument may provide that such Lender will not, without the consent of the
Participant, agree to any amendment, waiver or other modification described in the first proviso to
Section 10.01 that affects such Participant. Subject to subsection (e) of this Section,
the Borrower agrees that each Participant shall be entitled to the benefits of Sections
3.01, 3.04 and 3.05 to the same extent as if it were a Lender and had acquired
its interest by assignment pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section. To the extent permitted by
law, each Participant also shall be entitled to the benefits of Section 10.08 as though it
were a Lender, provided such Participant agrees to be subject to Section 2.14 as
though it were a Lender.
(e) Limitations upon Participant Rights. A Participant shall not be entitled to
receive any greater payment under Section 3.01 or 3.04 than the applicable Lender
would have been entitled to receive with respect to the participation sold to such Participant,
unless the sale of the participation to such Participant is made with the Borrower’s prior written
consent. A Participant that would be a Foreign Lender if it were a Lender shall not be entitled to
the benefits of Section 3.01 unless the Borrower is notified of the participation sold to
such Participant and such Participant agrees, for the benefit of the Borrower, to comply with
Section 3.01(e) as though it were a Lender.
(f) Certain Pledges. Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign a security interest
in all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement (including under its Note, if any) to
secure obligations of such Lender, including any pledge or assignment to secure obligations to a
Federal Reserve Bank; provided that no such pledge or assignment shall release such Lender
from any of its obligations hereunder or substitute any such pledgee or assignee for such Lender as
a party hereto.
(g) Resignation as L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender after Assignment. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, if at any time Bank of America assigns all of its
Commitment and Loans pursuant to subsection (b) above, Bank of America
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
Page 103 |
may, (i) upon 30 days’
notice to the Borrower and the Lenders, resign as L/C Issuer and/or (ii) upon 30 days’ notice to
the Borrower, resign as Swing Line Lender. In the event of any such resignation as L/C Issuer or
Swing Line Lender, the Borrower shall be entitled to appoint from among the Lenders a successor L/C
Issuer or Swing Line Lender hereunder; provided, however, that no failure by the
Borrower to appoint any such successor shall affect the resignation of Bank of America as L/C
Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be. If Bank of America resigns as L/C Issuer, it
shall retain all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the L/C Issuer hereunder with respect
to all Letters of Credit outstanding as of the effective date of its resignation as L/C Issuer and
all L/C Obligations with respect thereto (including the right to require the Lenders to make Base
Rate Committed Loans or fund risk participations in Unreimbursed Amounts pursuant to Section
2.04(c)). If Bank of America resigns as Swing Line Lender, it shall retain all the rights of
the Swing Line Lender provided for hereunder with respect to Swing Line Loans made by it and
outstanding as of the effective date of such resignation, including the right to require the
Lenders to make Base Rate Committed Loans or fund risk participations in outstanding Swing Line
Loans pursuant to Section 2.05(c). Upon the appointment of a successor L/C Issuer and/or
Swing Line Lender, (a) such successor shall succeed to and become vested with all of the rights,
powers, privileges and duties of the retiring L/C Issuer or Swing Line Lender, as the case may be,
and (b) the successor L/C Issuer shall issue letters of credit in substitution for the Letters of
Credit, if any, outstanding at the time of such succession or make other arrangements satisfactory
to Bank of America to effectively assume the obligations of Bank of America with respect to such
Letters of Credit.
10.07 Treatment of Certain Information; Confidentiality. Each of the Administrative Agent,
the Lenders and the L/C Issuer agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Information (as
defined below), except that Information may be disclosed (a) to its Affiliates and to its and its
Affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, trustees, advisors and
representatives (it being understood that the Persons to whom such disclosure is made will be
informed of the confidential nature of such Information and instructed to keep such Information
confidential), (b) to the extent requested by any regulatory authority purporting to have
jurisdiction over it (including any self-regulatory authority, such as the National Association of
Insurance Commissioners), (c) to the extent required by applicable laws or regulations or by any
subpoena or similar legal process, (d) to any other party hereto, (e) in connection with the
exercise of any remedies hereunder or under any other Loan Document or any action or proceeding
relating to this Agreement or any other Loan Document or the enforcement of rights hereunder or
thereunder, (f) subject to an agreement containing provisions substantially the same as those of
this Section, to (i) any assignee of or Participant in, or any prospective assignee of or
Participant in, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement or any Eligible Assignee
invited to be a Lender pursuant to Section 2.16(c) or (ii) any actual or prospective counterparty
(or its advisors) to any swap or derivative transaction relating to the Borrower and its
obligations, (g) with the consent of the Borrower or (h) to the extent such Information (x) becomes
publicly available other than as a result of a breach of this Section or (y) becomes available to
the Administrative Agent, any Lender, the L/C Issuer or any of their respective Affiliates on a
nonconfidential basis from a source other than the Borrower. For purposes of this Section,
“Information” means all information received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary relating to the
Borrower or any Subsidiary or any of their respective businesses, other than any such information
that is available to the Administrative Agent, any Lender or the L/C Issuer on a nonconfidential
basis prior to disclosure by the Borrower or any Subsidiary, except,
|
|
|
|
|
|
AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (Camden Property Trust)
|
|
Page 104 |
in the case of information
received from the Borrower or any Subsidiary after the date hereof, such information as is marked
“PUBLIC” at the time of delivery. Any Person required to maintain the confidentiality of
Information as provided in this Section shall be considered to have complied with its obligation to
do so if such Person has exercised the same degree of care to maintain the confidentiality of such
Information as such Person would accord to its own confidential information.
Each of the Administrative Agent, the Lenders and the L/C Issuer acknowledges that (a) the
Information may include material non-public information concerning the Borrower or a Subsidiary, as
the case may be, (b) it has developed compliance procedures regarding the use of material
non-public information and (c) it will handle such material non-public information in accordance
with applicable Law, including United States Federal and state securities Laws.
10.08 Right of Setoff. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, each
Lender, the L/C Issuer and each of their respective Affiliates is hereby authorized at any time and
from time to time, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, to set off and apply any and
all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final, in whatever currency) at
any time held and other obligations (in whatever currency) at any time owing by such Lender, the
L/C Issuer or any such Affiliate to or for the credit or the account of the Borrower against any
and all of the obligations of the Borrower now or hereafter existing under this Agreement or any
other Loan Document to such Lender or the L/C Issuer, irrespective of whether or not such Lender or
the L/C Issuer shall have made any demand under this Agreement or any other Loan Document and
although such obligations of the Borrower may be contingent or unmatured or are owed to a branch or
office of such Lender or the L/C Issuer different from the branch or office holding such deposit or
obligated on such indebtedness; provided, that in the event that any Defaulting Lender shall
exercise any such right of setoff, (x) all amounts so set off shall be paid over immediately to the
Administrative Agent for further application in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.18 and,
pending such payment, shall be segregated by such Defaulting Lender from its other funds and deemed
held in trust for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders, and (y) the Defaulting
Lender shall provide promptly to the Administrative Agent a statement describing in reasonable
detail the Obligations owing to such Defaulting Lender as to which it exercised such right of
setoff. The rights of each Lender, the L/C Issuer and their respective Affiliates under this
Section are in addition to other rights and remedies (including other rights of setoff) that such
Lender, the L/C Issuer or their respective Affiliates may have. Each Lender and the L/C Issuer
agrees to notify the Borrower and the Administrative Agent promptly after any such setoff and
application, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of
such setoff and application.
10.09 Interest Rate Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in any
Loan Document, the interest paid or agreed to be paid under the Loan Documents shall not exceed the
maximum rate of non-usurious interest permitted by applicable Law (the “Maximum Rate”). If
the Administrative Agent or any Lender shall receive interest in an amount that exceeds the Maximum
Rate, the excess interest shall be applied to the principal of the Loans or, if it exceeds such
unpaid principal, refunded to the Borrower. In determining whether the interest contracted for,
charged, or received by the Administrative Agent or a Lender exceeds the Maximum Rate, such Person
may, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, (a) characterize any payment that is not principal
as an expense, fee, or premium rather than interest, (b) exclude
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
Page 105 |
voluntary prepayments and the
effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate, allocate, and spread in equal or unequal parts the
total amount of interest throughout the contemplated term of the Obligations hereunder.
10.10 Counterparts; Integration; Effectiveness. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts (and by different parties hereto in different counterparts), each of which shall
constitute an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute a single contract.
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the entire contract among the parties
relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede any and all previous agreements and
understandings, oral or written, relating to the subject matter hereof. Except as provided in
Section 4.01, this Agreement shall become effective when it shall have been executed by the
Administrative Agent and when the Administrative Agent shall have received counterparts hereof
that, when taken together, bear the signatures of each of the other parties hereto. Delivery of an
executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by telecopy or other electronic imaging
means shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
10.11 Survival of Representations and Warranties. All representations and warranties made
hereunder and in any other Loan Document or other document delivered pursuant hereto or thereto or
in connection herewith or therewith shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and thereof.
Such representations and warranties have been or will be relied upon by the Administrative Agent
and each Lender, regardless of any investigation made by the Administrative Agent or any Lender or
on their behalf and notwithstanding that the Administrative Agent or any Lender may have had notice
or knowledge of any Default at the time of any Credit Extension, and shall continue in full force
and effect as long as any Loan or any other Obligation hereunder shall remain unpaid or unsatisfied
or any Letter of Credit shall remain outstanding.
10.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents is held to
be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, (a) the legality, validity and enforceability of the
remaining provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall not be affected or
impaired thereby and (b) the parties shall endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the
illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions with valid provisions the economic effect of which
comes as close as possible to that of the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provisions. The
invalidity of a provision in a particular jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable
such provision in any other jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing provisions of this
Section 10.12, if and to the extent that the enforceability of any provisions in this
Agreement relating to Defaulting Lenders shall be limited by Debtor Relief Laws, as determined in
good faith by the Administrative Agent, the L/C Issuer or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable,
then such provisions shall be deemed to be in effect only to the extent not so limited.
10.13 Replacement of Lenders. If any Lender requests compensation under Section 3.04, or if
the Borrower is required to pay any additional amount to any Lender or any Governmental Authority
for the account of any Lender pursuant to Section 3.01, or if any Lender is a Defaulting Lender or
if any other circumstance exists hereunder that gives the Borrower the right to replace a Lender as
a party hereto, then the Borrower may, at its sole expense and effort, upon notice to such Lender
and the Administrative Agent, require such Lender to assign and
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
Page 106 |
delegate, without recourse (in
accordance with and subject to the restrictions contained in, and consents required by, Section
10.06), all of its interests, rights and obligations under this Agreement and the related Loan
Documents to an assignee that shall assume such obligations (which assignee may be another Lender,
if a Lender accepts such assignment), provided that:
(a) the Borrower shall have paid to the Administrative Agent the assignment fee specified in
Section 10.06(b);
(b) such Lender shall have received payment of an amount equal to 100% of the outstanding
principal of its Loans and L/C Advances, accrued interest thereon, accrued fees and all other
amounts payable to it hereunder and under the other Loan Documents (including any amounts under
Section 3.05) from the assignee (to the extent of such outstanding principal and accrued
interest and fees) or the Borrower (in the case of all other amounts);
(c) in the case of any such assignment resulting from a claim for compensation under
Section 3.04 or payments required to be made pursuant to Section 3.01, such
assignment will result in a reduction in such compensation or payments thereafter; and
(d) such assignment does not conflict with applicable Laws.
A Lender shall not be required to make any such assignment or delegation if, prior thereto, as
a result of a waiver by such Lender or otherwise, the circumstances entitling the Borrower to
require such assignment and delegation cease to apply.
10.14 Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Etc.

GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF

EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL

DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY
OTHER THEORY). EACH PARTY HERETO (A) CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY
OTHER PERSON HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PERSON WOULD NOT, IN THE
EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER AND (B) ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT AND THE
OTHER PARTIES HERETO HAVE BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS
BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION.
10.16 No Advisory or Fiduciary Responsibility. In connection with all aspects of each
transaction contemplated hereby (including in connection with any amendment, waiver or other
modification hereof or of any other Loan Document), the Borrower and each other Loan Party
acknowledges and agrees, and acknowledges its Affiliates’ understanding, that: (i) (A) the
arranging and other services regarding this Agreement provided by the Administrative Agent and the

their respective Affiliates, on the one hand, and the Administrative Agent and, the Arrangers, on
the other hand, (B) each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties has consulted its own legal,
accounting, regulatory and tax advisors to the extent it has deemed appropriate, and (C) the
Borrower and each other Loan Party is capable of evaluating, and understands and accepts, the
terms, risks and conditions of the transactions contemplated hereby and by the other Loan
Documents; (ii) (A) the Administrative Agent and, the Arrangers, each is and has been

acting solely
as a principal and, except as expressly agreed in writing by the relevant parties, has not been, is
not, and will not be acting as an advisor, agent or fiduciary for the Borrower, any other Loan
Party or any of their respective Affiliates, or any other Person and (B) neither the Administrative
Agent nor, the Arrangers nor any other Lead Arrangers has any obligation to the Borrower, any other
Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates with respect to the transactions contemplated
hereby except those obligations expressly set forth herein and in the other Loan Documents; and
(iii) the Administrative Agent and, the Arrangers and the other Lead Arrangers and their respective
Affiliates may be engaged in a broad range of transactions that involve interests that differ from
those of the Borrower, the other Loan Parties and their respective Affiliates, and neither the
Administrative Agent nor, the Arrangers has any obligation to disclose any of such interests to the
Borrower, any other Loan Party or any of their respective Affiliates. To the fullest extent
permitted by law, each of the Borrower and the other Loan Parties hereby waives and releases any
claims that it may have against the Administrative Agent and, the Arrangers with respect to any

transaction contemplated hereby.
10.17 Electronic Execution of Assignments and Certain Other Documents. The words “execution,”
“signed,” “signature,” and words of like import in any Assignment and Assumption or in any
amendment or other modification hereof (including waivers and consents) shall be deemed to include
electronic signatures or the keeping of records in electronic form, each of which shall be of the
same legal effect, validity or enforceability as a manually executed signature or the use of a

applicable law, including the Federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act,
the New York State Electronic Signatures and Records Act, or any other similar state laws based on
the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act.
10.18 USA PATRIOT Act. Each Lender that is subject to the Act (as hereinafter defined) and

that pursuant to the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act (Title III of Pub. L. 107-56 (signed into
law October 26, 2001)) (the “Act”), it is required to obtain, verify and record information that
identifies the Borrower, which information includes the name and address of the Borrower and other
information that will allow such Lender or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, to identify the
Borrower in accordance with the Act. The Borrower shall, promptly following a request by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender, provide all documentation and other information that the
Administrative Agent or such Lender requests in order to comply with its ongoing obligations under
applicable “know your customer” and anti-money laundering rules and regulations, including the Act.
10.19 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence of the Loan Documents.
10.20 Consolidated Group. The Borrower and the Guarantor Subsidiaries are engaged in the
businesses set forth in Section 6.13 of this Agreement. These operations require financing on a
basis such that the credit supplied can be made available from time to time to the Borrower and the
Guarantor Subsidiaries, as required for the continued successful operation of the Borrower and the
Guarantor Subsidiaries. The Borrower and the Guarantor Subsidiaries have requested that Lenders
make the Loan available primarily for the purposes of financing the operations of Borrower and the
Guarantor Subsidiaries. The Borrower and the Guarantor

Subsidiaries expect to derive benefit (and
the boards of directors or other governing body of each of the Borrower and the Guarantor
Subsidiaries may reasonably be expected to derive benefit), directly or indirectly, from the Loan,
both in their separate capacities and as members of the group of companies, since the successful
operation and condition of the Borrower and each Guarantor Subsidiary is dependent on the continued
successful performance of the functions of the group as a whole.
10.21 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS REPRESENT THE FINAL
AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR
SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE

FORM OF
AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED GUARANTY AGREEMENT (this “Guaranty”), dated as of September
22, 2011, is being executed pursuant to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as
amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), dated September 22, 2011, by and among
CAMDEN PROPERTY TRUST, a Texas real estate investment trust (“Borrower”), BANK OF AMERICA,
N.A., as Administrative Agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Syndication Agent, and the Lenders.
This Guaranty amends and restates that certain Guaranty Agreement dated August 18, 2010 executed by
Guarantor for the benefit Lenders in connection with the Existing Credit Agreement. Unless
expressly defined herein all capitalized terms herein are as defined in the Credit Agreement.
NOW THEREFORE, for Ten Dollars ($10.00) and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt
and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, and as a material inducement to Lenders to make
Advances to Borrower under the Credit Agreement, the undersigned (collectively
“Guarantor”), hereby guarantee to Lenders the prompt and full payment and performance of
the indebtedness and obligations described below in this Guaranty (collectively called the
“Guaranteed Obligation”), this Guaranty being upon the following terms and conditions:
1. Guaranty of Payment. Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to Lenders the
payment, as and when the same shall be due and payable, whether by lapse of time, by acceleration
of maturity or otherwise, and at all times thereafter, of all principal, interest, fees, costs,
expenses, indemnification indebtedness and other Obligations now or hereafter due and owing to
Lenders pursuant to the Credit Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents, and all
renewals, extensions, refinancings, modifications or amendments of such indebtedness or any part
thereof (herein collectively called the “Indebtedness”). This Guaranty covers the
Indebtedness whether presently outstanding or arising subsequent to the date hereof including any
and all amounts advanced by Lenders in stages or installments. The guaranty of Guarantor as set
forth in this paragraph is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. The amounts payable by
Guarantor under this Guaranty (which amounts shall include the obligations of Guarantor under both
this paragraph and paragraph 2 below) shall be due and payable immediately upon receipt by
Guarantor of written notice of the amounts which are so due and payable.
Guarantor has been supplied a copy of the Credit Agreement and, in particular, has been
advised of, read and understood Section 6.15 thereof. To the extent that Guaranty Proceeds
are actually distributed to holders of Senior Debt, Guarantor understands and agrees that the
Guaranteed Obligation shall not be deemed reduced by any such payment and Guarantor will continue
to make payments pursuant to this Guaranty until such time as the Guaranteed Obligation has been
paid in full after taking into effect any distributions of Guaranty Proceeds to holders of the
Senior Debt.

2. Guaranty of Performance. Guarantor additionally hereby unconditionally guarantees
to Lenders the timely performance of all other obligations of Borrower under all of the Loan
Documents. Without limiting the foregoing, Guarantor confirms all representations and warranties,
and agrees to perform and comply with all covenants and agreements, expressly made applicable to
Guarantor under the Credit Agreement.
3. Primary Liability of Guarantor. This Guaranty is an absolute, irrevocable and
unconditional guaranty of payment and performance. In the event of default by Borrower in payment
or performance of the Guaranteed Obligation, or any part thereof, when such indebtedness or
performance becomes due, either by its terms or as the result of the exercise of any power to
accelerate, Guarantor shall, on demand and without presentment, protest, notice of protest, further
notice of nonpayment or of dishonor or of default or nonperformance, or notice of acceleration or
of intent to accelerate, or any other notice whatsoever (except as provided in the Credit
Agreement), without any notice having been given to Guarantor previous to such demand of the
acceptance by Lenders of this Guaranty, and without any notice having been given to Guarantor
previous to such demand of the creating or incurring of such indebtedness or of such obligation to
perform, pay the amount due thereon to Lenders or perform or observe the agreement, covenant, term
or condition, as the case may be, and it shall not be necessary for Lenders, in order to enforce
such payment or performance by Guarantor, first to institute suit or exhaust their remedies against
Borrower or others liable on such indebtedness or for such performance, to enforce their rights
against any security which shall ever have been given to secure such indebtedness or performance,
to join Borrower or any others liable on the Guaranteed Obligation in any action to enforce this
Guaranty, or to resort to any other means of obtaining payment or performance of the Guaranteed
Obligation. Suit may be brought or demand may be made against all parties who have signed this
Guaranty, or against any one or more of them, separately or together, without impairing the rights
of Lenders against any other party hereto. At any time Lenders are entitled to exercise their
remedies hereunder, they may in their discretion elect to demand payment or performance. If
Lenders elect to demand performance, they shall at all times thereafter have the right to demand
payment until all of the Indebtedness has been paid in full. If Lenders elect to demand payment,
they shall at all times thereafter have the right to demand performance until all of the
Indebtedness has been paid in full.
4. Certain Agreements and Waivers by Guarantor. Guarantor hereby agrees that neither
Lenders’ rights and remedies nor Guarantor’s obligations under the terms of this Guaranty shall be
released, diminished, impaired, reduced or affected by any one or more of the following:
(a) any limitation of liability or recourse in any other Loan Document;
(b) the taking or accepting of any other security or guaranty for, or right of recourse with
respect to, any or all of the Guaranteed Obligation;
(c) any release, surrender, exchange, subordination, deterioration, waste, impairment or loss
of, or any failure to create or perfect any lien or security interest with respect to, any security
at any time existing or purported, believed or expected to exist in connection with any or all of
the Guaranteed Obligation;
|
|
|
|
|
|
EXHIBIT G —
AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (Camden Property Trust)
|
|
Page 2 |
(d) any partial release of the liability of Guarantor hereunder, or if there is more than one
person signing a guaranty of the Guaranteed Obligation, the complete or partial release of any one
or more of them hereunder;
(e) the insolvency, bankruptcy, disability, dissolution, liquidation, termination,
receivership, reorganization, change of form, structure or ownership, sale of all assets, or lack
of corporate, partnership or other power of Borrower, Guarantor or any party at any time liable for
the payment or performance of any or all of the Guaranteed Obligation, whether now existing or
hereafter occurring;
(f) renewal, extension, modification or rearrangement of the payment or performance of any or
all of the Guaranteed Obligation, either with or without notice to or consent of Guarantor, or any
adjustment, indulgence, forbearance, or compromise that may be granted or given by Lenders to
Borrower or any other Guarantor from time to time;
(g) any neglect, delay, omission, failure, or refusal of Lenders to take or prosecute any
action for the collection or enforcement of any of the Guaranteed Obligation or to foreclose or
take or prosecute any action to foreclose upon any security therefor or to take or prosecute any
action in connection with any Loan Document;
(h) any failure of Lenders to notify Guarantor of any creation, renewal, extension,
rearrangement, modification or assignment of the Guaranteed Obligation or any part thereof, or of
any Loan Document, or of any release of or change in any security or of any other action taken or
refrained from being taken by Lenders against Borrower or any security or other recourse or of any
new agreement between Lenders and Borrower, it being understood that Lenders shall not be required
to give Guarantor any notice of any kind under any circumstances with respect to or in connection
with the Guaranteed Obligation;
(i) the unenforceability of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligation against Borrower,
whether because the Guaranteed Obligation exceeds the amount permitted by law or violates any usury
law, the act of creating the Guaranteed Obligation, or any part thereof, is ultra xxxxx, the
officers or persons creating same acted in excess of their authority, Borrower has any valid
defense, claim or offset with respect thereto (other than payment and performance of the
Indebtedness), or otherwise, it being agreed that Guarantor shall remain liable hereon regardless
of whether Borrower or any other person be found not liable on the Guaranteed Obligation, or any
part thereof, for any reason; or
(j) any payment by Borrower to Lenders is held to constitute a preference under the bankruptcy
laws or if for any other reason Lenders are required to refund such payment or pay the amount
thereof to someone else.
It is the intent of Guarantor and Lenders that the obligations and liabilities of Guarantor
hereunder are absolute and unconditional under any and all circumstances and that until the
Guaranteed Obligation is fully and finally paid and performed, such obligations and liabilities
shall not be discharged or released, in whole or in part, by any act or occurrence which might,
but for the provisions of this Guaranty, be deemed a legal or equitable discharge or release of a
guarantor.

5. Subordination; Subrogation. If, for any reason whatsoever, Borrower or any other
Guarantor is now or hereafter becomes indebted to Guarantor:
(a) such indebtedness and all interest thereon and all liens, security interests and rights
now or hereafter existing with respect to property of Borrower or such other Guarantor securing
same shall, at all times, be subordinate in all respects to the Guaranteed Obligation and to all
liens, security interests and rights now or hereafter existing to secure the Guaranteed Obligation.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Guaranty or any payments made by any
party hereunder, Guarantor shall have the right of subrogation in or under any of the Loan
Documents or to participate in any way therein, or in any right, title or interest in and to any
security or right of recourse for the Guaranteed Obligation upon payment in full and final
performance of the Guaranteed Obligation;
(b) after the occurrence and during the continuance of a default (for which Borrower or such
other Guarantor has received notice as and to the extent such notice is required to be delivered by
Administrative Agent or Lenders pursuant to the Loan Documents as a condition to the occurrence of
an Event of Default) (whether or not declared) under any of the Loan Documents, Guarantor shall not
be entitled to enforce or receive payment, directly or indirectly, of any such indebtedness of
Borrower or such other Guarantor to Guarantor until the Guaranteed Obligation has been fully and
finally paid and performed;
(c) Guarantor hereby assigns to Lenders and grants to Administrative Agent on behalf of
Lenders a security interest in all such indebtedness and security therefor, if any, of Borrower or
such other Guarantor to Guarantor now existing or hereafter arising, including any dividends and
payments pursuant to debtor relief or insolvency proceedings referred to below. In the event of
receivership, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement or other debtor relief or insolvency
proceedings involving Borrower or such other Guarantor as debtor, Lenders shall have the right to
prove their claim in any such proceeding so as to establish their rights hereunder and shall have
the right to receive directly from the receiver, trustee or other custodian, dividends and payments
which are payable upon any obligation of Borrower or such other Guarantor to Guarantor now existing
or hereafter arising, and to have all benefits of any security therefor, until the Guaranteed
Obligation has been fully and finally paid and performed. If, notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions, Guarantor should receive any payment, claim or distribution which is prohibited as
provided above in this paragraph, Guarantor shall pay the same to Lenders immediately, Guarantor
hereby agreeing that it shall receive the payment, claim or distribution in trust for Lenders and
shall have absolutely no dominion over the same except to pay it immediately to Lenders; and
(d) Guarantor shall promptly upon request of Administrative Agent from time to time execute
such documents and perform such acts as Administrative Agent may reasonably require to evidence and
perfect the interest of Lenders and to permit or facilitate exercise of their rights under this
paragraph, including but not limited to execution and delivery of financing statements, proofs of
claim, further assignments and security agreements, and delivery to Lenders of any promissory notes
or other instruments evidencing indebtedness of Borrower or such other Guarantor to Guarantor. All
promissory notes, now or hereafter held by Guarantor, of obligations of such Borrower to Guarantor
shall contain a specific written notice thereon that the
|
|
|
|
|
|
EXHIBIT G —
AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (Camden Property Trust)
|
|
Page 4 |
indebtedness evidenced thereby is subordinated under and is subject to the terms of this
Guaranty.
Nothing herein contained shall operate as a release or discharge, in whole or in part, of any
claim of Guarantor against Borrower, by subrogation or otherwise, by reason of any act done or
payment made by Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Guaranty; but all such claims,
including claims for any indebtedness of Borrower to Guarantor, whether now existing or hereafter
arising, shall be subordinate to the Guaranteed Obligation and the liens, security interests and
rights of Lenders under the Loan Documents.
6. Other Liability of Guarantor or Borrower. If Guarantor becomes liable for any
indebtedness owing by Borrower to any of the Lenders, by endorsement or otherwise, other than under
this Guaranty, such liability shall not be in any manner impaired or affected hereby, and the
rights of Lenders hereunder shall be cumulative of any and all other rights that Lenders may ever
have against Guarantor. If Borrower is or becomes indebted to any of the Lenders for other than
the Indebtedness, any payment received or recovery realized upon any indebtedness of Borrower to
such Lender may, except to the extent paid by Guarantor on the Indebtedness or specifically
required by law or agreement of such Lender to be applied to the Indebtedness, in such Lender’s
sole discretion be applied upon indebtedness of Borrower to Lenders other than the Indebtedness.
7. Lenders Assigns. This Guaranty is for the benefit of Lenders and each of the
Lender’s successors and assigns, provided that such successors and assigns are permitted under the
Credit Agreement, and in the event of an assignment of the Indebtedness, or any part thereof, the
rights and benefits hereunder, to the extent applicable to the Indebtedness so assigned, may be
transferred with such Indebtedness. Guarantor waives notice of any transfer or assignment of the
Indebtedness, or any part thereof, and agrees that failure to give notice will not affect the
liabilities of Guarantor hereunder as and to the extent provided in the Credit Agreement.
8. Binding Effect. This Guaranty is binding not only on Guarantor, but on Guarantor’s
legal representatives, successors and assigns. Upon the dissolution of the undersigned, this
Guaranty shall continue against any successor of the undersigned as to all of the Guaranteed
Obligation, including that portion incurred or arising after such dissolution. If this Guaranty is
signed by more than one person or entity, then all of the obligations of Guarantor arising herein
shall be jointly and severally binding on each of the undersigned, and their respective heirs,
personal and legal representatives, successors and assigns, and the term “Guarantor” shall mean all
such persons or entities and each of them individually. Words importing persons herein shall
include firms, associations, partnerships (including limited partnerships), joint ventures, trusts,
corporations and other legal entities, including public or governmental bodies, agencies or
instrumentalities, as well as natural persons.
9. Governing Law; Forum. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS AND APPLICABLE UNITED STATES FEDERAL LAW, AND IS
INTENDED TO BE PERFORMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY, SUCH LAWS. All
obligations of Guarantor hereunder are payable and performable at the place where the Guaranteed
Obligation is payable and performable. Guarantor hereby irrevocably
|
|
|
|
|
|
EXHIBIT G —
AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (Camden Property Trust)
|
|
Page 5 |
submits generally and unconditionally for Guarantor and in respect of Guarantor’s property to
the non exclusive jurisdiction of any Texas state court, or any United States federal court,
sitting in the City of Dallas, Texas, over any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Guaranty or the Indebtedness. Guarantor hereby agrees and consents that, in
addition to any methods of service of process provided for under applicable law, all service of
process in any such suit, action or proceeding in any Texas state court, or any United States
federal court, sitting in the City of Dallas, Texas may be made by certified or registered mail,
return receipt requested, directed to Guarantor at Guarantor’s address stated in this Guaranty, or
at a subsequent address of which Administrative Agent received actual notice from Guarantor in
accordance with this Guaranty, and service so made shall be complete five (5) days after the same
shall have been so mailed.
10. Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Guaranty or the application thereof
to any person or circumstance shall, for any reason and to any extent, be invalid or
unenforceable, neither the remainder of this Guaranty nor the application of such provision to any
other person or circumstance shall be affected thereby, but rather the same shall be enforced to
the greatest extent permitted by law.
11. Attorneys’ Fees and Costs of Collection. Guarantor shall pay on demand the
reasonable attorneys’ fees and all other costs and expenses which may be incurred by Administrative
Agent or Lenders in the enforcement of or preservation of Lenders’ rights under this Guaranty,
which covenant shall survive any payment or discharge in full of the Indebtedness.
12. Payments. All sums payable under this Guaranty shall be paid in lawful money of
the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public
and private debts.
13. Controlling Agreement. It is not the intention of Lenders or Guarantor to
obligate Guarantor to pay interest in excess of that legally permitted to be paid by Guarantor
under applicable law. Should it be determined that any portion of the Guaranteed Obligation
constitutes interest in excess of the maximum amount of interest which Guarantor (in such capacity)
may lawfully be required to pay under applicable law, the obligation of Guarantor to pay such
interest shall automatically be limited to the payment thereof in the maximum amount so permitted
under applicable law. The provisions of this Section shall override and control all other
provisions of this Guaranty and of any other agreement between Guarantor and Lenders.
14. Warranties and Representations of Guarantor. Guarantor hereby represents and
warrants that (a) Guarantor expects to receive significant financial benefits, either directly or
indirectly, from the proceeds of the Advances made by Lenders to Borrower pursuant to the Credit
Agreement, such benefits expected to be in an amount not less than the amount guaranteed hereunder;
(b) Guarantor has the power and authority and legal right to execute, deliver and perform its
obligations under this Guaranty and this Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding
obligation of Guarantor, enforceable against Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as
limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws affecting
creditor’s rights generally and (ii) equitable principles of general applicability; (c) no
authorization, approval, or consent of, and no filing or registration with, any court, governmental
|

|
|

|
|
Page 6 |
authority, or third party is necessary for the execution, delivery or performance by Guarantor
of this Guaranty or the validity or enforceability thereof; (d) Guarantor is not, and the
execution, delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty will not cause, to the best of
Guarantor’s knowledge, Guarantor to be, in violation of or in default with respect to any law or in
default (or provide cause for acceleration of indebtedness) under any agreement or restriction by
which Guarantor is bound or affected; (e) there is no action, suit or proceeding pending or to the
knowledge of Guarantor threatened before or by any court or governmental authority against or
effecting Guarantor in which there is a reasonable possibility of an adverse decision which could
have a Material Adverse Effect; (f) all financial statements and information heretofore furnished
to Lenders by Guarantor do, and all financial statements and information hereafter furnished to
Lenders by Guarantor will, fairly present the financial condition of Guarantor as of the dates and
the results of Guarantor’s operations for the periods therein specified in all material respects,
and, since the date of the most recent financial statements of Guarantor heretofore furnished to
Lenders, no Material Adverse Effect has occurred, has Guarantor incurred any material liability,
direct or indirect, fixed or contingent; (g) after giving effect to this Guaranty, Guarantor is
solvent; (h) Lenders have no duty at any time to investigate or inform Guarantor of the financial
or business condition or affairs of Borrower or any change therein; and (i) Guarantor acknowledges
and agrees that it may be required to pay and perform the Guaranteed Obligation in full without
assistance or support from Borrower or any other party. Guarantor’s representations and warranties
are a material inducement to Lenders to enter into the other Loan Documents and shall survive the
execution hereof and any bankruptcy, foreclosure, transfer of security or other event affecting
Borrower, Guarantor, or any security for the Indebtedness.
15. Notices. All notices, requests, consents, demands and other communications
required or which any party desires to give hereunder shall be provided in accordance with the
terms set forth in Section 10.02 of the Credit Agreement.
16. Cumulative Rights, etc. The exercise by Administrative Agent or Lenders of any
right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan Document, or at law or in equity, shall not
preclude the concurrent or subsequent exercise of any other right or remedy. Lenders shall have
all rights, remedies and recourses afforded to Lenders by reason of this Guaranty or any other Loan
Document or by law or equity or otherwise, and the same (a) shall be cumulative and concurrent, (b)
may be pursued separately, successively or concurrently against Guarantor or others obligated for
the Guaranteed Obligation, or any part thereof, or against any one or more of them, or against any
security or otherwise, at the sole discretion of Lenders, (c) may be exercised as often as occasion
therefor shall arise, it being agreed by Guarantor that the exercise, discontinuance of the
exercise of or failure to exercise any of same shall in no event be construed as a waiver or
release thereof or of any other right, remedy, or recourse, and (d) are intended to be, and shall
be, nonexclusive. No waiver of any default on the part of Guarantor or of any breach of any of the
provisions of this Guaranty or of any other document shall be considered a waiver of any other or
subsequent default or breach, and no delay or omission in exercising or enforcing the rights and
powers granted herein or in any other document shall be construed as a waiver of such rights and
powers, and likewise no exercise or enforcement of any rights or powers hereunder or under any
other document shall be held to exhaust such rights and powers, and every such right and power may
be exercised from time to time. The granting of any consent, approval or waiver by Lenders shall
be limited to the specific instance and purpose and shall not constitute consent or approval in any
other instance or for any other purpose. No notice
|
|
|
|
|
|
EXHIBIT G —

|
|
Page 7 |
to nor demand on Guarantor in any case shall of itself entitle Guarantor to any other or
further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances. No provision of this Guaranty nor any
right, remedy or recourse of Lenders with respect hereto, nor any default or breach, can be waived,
nor can this Guaranty or Guarantor be released or discharged in any way or to any extent, except
specifically by a writing intended for that purpose (referring specifically to this Guaranty)
executed by Administrative Agent.
17. Term of Guaranty. This Guaranty shall continue in full force and effect until the
Indebtedness is fully and finally paid and discharged. If pursuant to any bankruptcy, insolvency or
other debtor relief law or any order or decision thereunder Lenders must rescind or restore any
payment or part thereof received by Lenders in satisfaction of the Indebtedness or any part
thereof, the term “Indebtedness” as used herein includes such payment to the extent rescinded or
restored, and, to the extent of the payment rescinded or restored, any prior release or discharge
by Lenders of this Guaranty or of Guarantor shall be without effect and this Guaranty shall remain
in full force and effect notwithstanding such release or discharge.
18. Financial Statements. Guarantor shall furnish to Lenders the financial reports
and information required of Guarantor under the terms of the Credit Agreement.
19. Participations. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that any Lender may from time
to time sell or offer to sell participations in accordance with the Credit Agreement in the loan
evidenced by such Lender’s Note to one or more participants. Subject to the confidentiality
agreements contained in Section 10.07 of the Credit Agreement, Guarantor hereby authorizes
Lenders to provide to any such participant or prospective participant such information as Lenders
have from time to time pertaining to the Indebtedness or this Guaranty, including but not limited
to credit information on Borrower, Guarantor and any of their principals, respectively.
20. Gender; Titles; Construction. Within this Guaranty, words of any gender shall be
held and construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular number shall be held and
construed to include the plural, unless the context otherwise requires. Titles appearing at the
beginning of any subdivisions hereof are for convenience only, do not constitute any part of such
subdivisions, and shall be disregarded in construing the language contained in such subdivisions.
The use of the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and other similar compounds of the word “here”
shall refer to this entire Guaranty and not to any particular section, paragraph or provision.
21. Time of Essence. Time shall be of the essence in this Guaranty with respect to
all of Guarantor’s obligations hereunder.
22. Execution. This Guaranty may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which,
for all purposes, shall be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and
the same agreement; and if the term “Guarantor” includes more than one person, the failure of any
one or more such persons to execute a counterpart thereof shall not impair or affect the
enforceability of this Guaranty against any person who does sign this Guaranty.

FORM OF
AMENDED AND RESTATED CONTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
THIS AMENDED AND RESTATED CONTRIBUTION AND INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENT (this
“Agreement”), dated as of September 22, 2011, is made and executed by and among CAMDEN
PROPERTY TRUST, a Texas real estate investment trust (“Borrower”), each of the GUARANTOR
SUBSIDIARIES of Borrower listed on the signature pages hereof or on any supplements or amendments
to this Agreement as listed on Schedule A hereto, as Schedule A is amended and
supplemented at any time and from time to time to include additional Guarantor Subsidiaries of
Borrower as a party hereto (each such Guarantor Subsidiary now or hereafter becoming a party to
this Agreement being referred to herein individually as a “Guarantor Subsidiary” and
collectively as the “Guarantor Subsidiaries”), and Bank of America, N.A., a national
banking association (“Administrative Agent”), as Administrative Agent for and on behalf of
all Lenders from time to time party to that certain Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (as
modified, amended, supplemented or restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”) of
even date herewith, by and among Borrower, Administrative Agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as
Syndication Agent, and various lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”).
Each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries and Borrower are hereinafter sometimes referred to individually
as a “Credit Party,” and collectively as the “Credit Parties.” This Agreement
amends and restates that certain Contribution and Indemnification Agreement dated August 18, 2010
executed by Borrower and Guarantor Subsidiaries (as defined therein) in connection with the
Existing Credit Agreement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings
set forth in the Credit Agreement.
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, each of the Guarantor Subsidiaries desires to protect itself against any event
whereby it would be held liable under its guaranty thereof or otherwise for the indebtedness and
obligations of any one or more of the Credit Parties under the Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents, other than to the extent of the benefit received by it thereunder, and to provide by
this Agreement an agreement to contribute and indemnify by and to each other to accomplish such
result; and
WHEREAS, the Credit Parties have determined that valuable benefits will be derived by the
Credit Parties as a result of the extensions of credit to be made available to or for the use of
the Credit Parties pursuant to the Credit Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, for valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged and confessed, each of the Credit Parties agrees as follows:
|
|
|
|
|
|
EXHIBIT H — AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (Camden Property Trust)
|
|
Page 1 |
ARTICLE I.
DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION
1.01 Defined Terms. As used in this Agreement, each of the following terms shall have
the meaning assigned to such term below in this Section 1.01:
“Contribution Percentage” means for each Indemnitor the percentage obtained by
dividing such Indemnitor’s Obtained Benefit by the aggregate Obtained Benefit of all Guarantor
Subsidiaries.
“Excess Payments” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 2.01.
“Indemnitee” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 2.01.
“Indemnitor” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 2.01.
“Obtained Benefit” has the meaning assigned to such term in Section 2.01.
1.02 References. References in this Agreement to Article or Section numbers shall be
to Articles or Sections of this Agreement, unless expressly stated to the contrary. References in
this Agreement to “hereby,” “herein,” “hereinafter,” “hereinabove,” “hereinbelow,” “hereof,”
“hereunder” and words of similar import shall be to this Agreement in its entirety and not only to
the particular Article or Section in which such reference appears. References in this Agreement to
“includes” or “including” shall mean “includes, without limitation,” or “including, without
limitation,” as the case may be. References in this Agreement to statutes, sections or regulations
are to be construed as including all statutory or regulatory provisions consolidating, amending,
replacing, succeeding or supplementing the statute, section or regulation to which reference is
made.
1.03 Number and Gender. Whenever the context requires, reference herein made to the
single number shall be understood to include the plural; and likewise, the plural shall be
understood to include the singular. Definitions of terms defined in the singular or plural shall
be equally applicable to the plural or singular, as the case may be, unless otherwise indicated.
Words denoting gender shall be construed to include the masculine, feminine and neuter, when such
construction is appropriate; and specific enumeration shall not exclude the general but shall be
construed as cumulative.
ARTICLE II.
TERMS OF CONTRIBUTION AND INDEMNIFICATION
2.01 Contribution and Indemnification. Pursuant to the terms of the Credit Agreement,
Borrower has been extended credit. In connection with such Credit Facilities, and as a condition
to Administrative Agent and Lenders entering into the Credit Agreement and making Loans or issuing
Letters of Credit thereunder, the Guarantor Subsidiaries have jointly and severally guaranteed
payment in full of the Obligations (as defined in the Credit Agreement). The board of directors,
managers or partners, as the case may be, of each Guarantor Subsidiary has determined that such
Guarantor Subsidiary will receive direct and/or indirect benefits from the making of Loans or
issuance of Letters of Credit pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The aggregate amount of benefits
obtained directly or indirectly by any Credit Party, and not repaid by Borrower or another Credit
Party, is referred to herein as the “Obtained Benefit.” In the event
|
|
|
|
|
|
EXHIBIT H — AMENDED AND RESTATED CREDIT AGREEMENT (Camden Property Trust)
|
|
Page 2 |
that any Guarantor
Subsidiary (in such capacity, an “Indemnitee”) pays (whether through direct payments or as
a result of providing collateral for the Obligations) any amounts on the Obligations in excess of
such Guarantor Subsidiary’s Obtained Benefit (the “Excess Payments”), the Indemnitee shall
be entitled to make demand on Borrower for such Excess Payments, and, to the extent not recovered
from Borrower, to receive from each other Guarantor Subsidiary that received an Obtained Benefit
(in such capacity, “Indemnitor”), such Indemnitor’s Contribution Percentage of the Excess
Payment. If any Indemnitor is unable to pay the Contribution Percentage of the Excess Payment,
each Guarantor Subsidiary agrees to make a contribution to the Indemnitee to the extent necessary
so that each Guarantor Subsidiary shares equally the liability for such Excess Payment in relation
to the relative Obtained Benefit received by such Guarantor Subsidiary. IN SUCH REGARD, TO THE
MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, EACH GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARY SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD
HARMLESS THE OTHER GUARANTOR SUBSIDIARIES FROM AND AGAINST ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, CLAIMS, COSTS AND
EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND EXPENSES) ARISING WITH RESPECT TO THE
OBLIGATIONS AND EXCEEDING THE INDEMNITEE’S OBTAINED BENEFIT OR CONTRIBUTION PERCENTAGE THEREOF AS
PROVIDED HEREIN.
2.02 Payments. Any amount due to an Indemnitee by an Indemnitor or Credit Party under
this Agreement shall be due and payable within ten (10) days of demand therefore by the relevant
Indemnitee. All payments to be made by any Indemnitor under this Agreement shall be made to such
Indemnitee at Borrower’s principal office in Dallas, Texas, in immediately available funds, not
later than 2:00 p.m., Dallas, Texas time, on the date on which such payment shall come due.
2.03 Non-Exclusive Remedy. The remedies available to any Indemnitee pursuant to the
provisions of this Article II are not exclusive and, in such regard, any Indemnitee shall
be entitled to join any Indemnitor as a party to any proceeding involving such Indemnitee, any
Indemnitor or Administrative Agent or the Lenders, including for purposes of enforcement of the
provisions of this Agreement.
2.04 Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence as of the date hereof and
continue in effect until all Obligations are terminated or extinguished (but not by reason of the
payment of the Obligations by any party hereto in a proportion other than as specified in
Section 2.01).
2.05 Subordination. Any amounts owed by any Credit Party to any other Credit Party
under this Agreement shall be subordinate to the Obligations as more particularly set forth in
Section 5 of each of the Guaranty Agreements executed by Guarantor Subsidiaries pursuant to
the Credit Agreement.

3.01 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and the Lenders, and their respective heirs, legal representatives,
and assigns of any of them.
3.02 Amendments; Waivers. Subject to Section 3.13 hereof, neither this
Agreement nor any provision hereof may be amended, waived, discharged, or terminated verbally, but

amendment, waiver, discharge, or termination is sought.
3.03 Non-Waiver. It is understood and agreed that any delay, waiver, or omission by
any party hereto to exercise any right or power arising hereunder shall not be construed to be a
waiver by such party of any subsequently arising right or power hereunder.
3.04 No Impairment of Guaranties or Primary Liability. This Agreement shall not in
any way be deemed to limit, alter or otherwise affect the terms and provisions of the Guaranty of
the Guarantor Subsidiaries or any other Guaranty of the Obligations, or to affect the Guarantor
Subsidiaries’ obligations and agreements thereunder in favor of Administrative Agent and the
Lenders; or to affect or impair in any way the Borrower’s primary liability for the Obligations or
any of the Guarantor Subsidiaries’ rights of contribution and indemnity as against the Borrower, or
any common law or other rights of contribution and indemnity as against other Guarantor
Subsidiaries.
